Feng Guang led the first chariot left behind by a grenade, the explosion disintegrated the chariot, and Feng Guang, who was standing on the vehicle and commanding, was grazed by a fragment of an exploding machine gun and flew over his left shoulder, bleeding profusely.

Feng Guang, who was in pain, shouted loudly and violently: "Jump out of the car, rush to the second row of chariots as fast as possible, and continue to hit the little devils who pounced on you in the retreat." ”

Of the ten fighters on the first chariot, only seven jumped out alive, Feng Guang led the seven soldiers to rush to the second row of chariots, shouting as the chariots ran backwards: "Stop the shelling, increase the striking fire of light and heavy machine guns, and destroy the enemy who pounces on you." ”

Feng Guang jumped on the pedal of the cab and ordered all the vehicle drivers and soldiers: "Speed up, leave the enemy behind, and stop and shell the big army of devils chasing after five hundred meters." ”

The remaining four chariots sped up and rushed out, throwing the devil who pounced on them five hundred meters away in less than ten minutes.

Feng Guang ordered the four tanks to stop immediately, use all the mortars on each tank, and bombard the main Japanese force that followed the rapid attack.

The commander of the 364th Matsumoto Wing of the Japanese Army found that the four strange chariots of the Eighth Route Army were rapidly retreating northeast along the Wufu Highway under the powerful fire attack, and ordered the troops to pursue at the craziest speed, and must destroy these four strange chariots to clear the obstacles for the large army to move closer to Yangshuo.

The Japanese Matsumoto Wing, which was speeding up the pursuit, was suddenly hit again by the fierce artillery fire of four combat vehicles, and each shell hit the ground and exploded into a sky-high fog of mud and stone shrapnel, and a large number of devils were killed and fell to the ground.

The chief of staff of the wing, Jun Takada, covered his face that was still bleeding from shrapnel, and shouted to the devil who came up with the grenadier and carried the grenadier: "Quickly use the power of the grenadier to destroy the strange chariot of the Dirt Eight Road that escaped in front, bastard, quickly." ”

The embarrassed Chief of Staff Takada Jun, looking at the devil who was panting and following up with the grenadier, shouted loudly or moved slowly, this bastard rushed to the front and kicked the little devil a few times, so frightened that the devil hurriedly set up the grenadier, aimed at the Eighth Route Army tank that was shelling the Japanese army, and opened fire.

Feng Guang, who was standing on the wheelhouse pedal, ordered the chariot to stop the shelling, quickly retreat to the northeast, and quickly retreat to the road below the high ground held by the third regiment.

At this moment, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the high ground of the Third Regiment, and when they rushed to Feng Guang who was standing on the wheelhouse pedal, one of the comrades who looked like an older cadre pulled Feng Guang off the driver's cab pedal, and asked in a nervous tone: "Are you Comrade Feng Guang, the commander of the guard platoon of the only regiment?" I am Zhou Liheng, deputy commander of the Third Regiment. ”

"Report to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, I am Feng Guang, the commander of the guard platoon of the only regiment, I don't know what instructions Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou gave me to pull me off the pedal outside the cab?"

"Platoon Commander Feng, I have received an order from the commander of the Lei Jian Regiment, ordering you to lead the chariot with the maximum artillery fire and light and heavy machine gun fire, and cooperate with my third regiment near this high ground to block the Matsumoto Wing that continues to flee northeast along the Wufu Highway, and force the Matsumoto Wing to abandon the Wufu Highway with the most powerful firepower, force it to break through from other routes, do not pursue the main force of the Matsumoto Wing that escaped, and clear the obstacles for the organs and large forces of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region that are about to pass here, Platoon Commander Feng, have you heard the face?"

"Report to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, I, Feng Guang, understand, don't worry, the four chariots I lead, artillery shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets are well prepared, and they will definitely cooperate with the third regiment with the greatest firepower, and the devils who fight are dizzy, and take the initiative to abandon the Wufu Highway and change to other escape routes."

Feng Guang received the latest order, ordering the four chariots to strike the little devil who caught up with the most intense artillery fire.

Captain Matsumoto, who was tired of running for his life, was blocked by the powerful heavy firepower of the chariot in front and pursued by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the rear, and was in an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy in front and behind, and if he did not change the escape route, I am afraid that the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army would be buried on the battlefield on the front line of Qingshui Bridge.

Just as Lei Jian issued the latest order for all units to launch a general attack on the Matsumoto Wing, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th battalions of the only regiment that were holding the positions on the north and south slopes west of Sangtou Town were attacked by the most frenzied attack by the Japanese army.

At this tense juncture, fierce gunfire and shouts of fighting suddenly sounded in the east and west directions of the Wufu Highway below the positions on the north and south slopes.

Ma Ming, deputy commander of the only regiment, led the cavalry battalion, assault company, special service company and reconnaissance company to kill them along the Wufu Highway from the west.

Li Gang, the commander of the only regiment commanding the Battle of Nanbeipo, ordered Wang Xiaoliang, Zhou Peng, and Cui Hao, the commander of the first battalion, to launch the fiercest general attack on the Matsumoto Wing, which had been engaged for more than seven hours, in accordance with the latest order issued by the commander of the Lei Jian regiment.

Wang Xiaoliang, deputy head of the regiment and chief of staff Zhou Peng of the northern slope position, stood at the forefront of the position and waved their pistols and shouted: "Brothers of the soldiers of the only regiment, we can't raise our heads because the little devils have been suppressed with powerful firepower, and now the commander of the Lei regiment mobilizes the strength and firepower of the entire unique regiment to launch the final general attack on the enemy, comrades, for the sake of victory, in order to avenge the sacrificed comrades, launch the most ferocious counterattack against the enemy, kill——。 ”

'Rush-', 'Kill-'......

The 1st, 3rd, and 4th battalions of the 1st Regiment that held their positions on the southwestern and northern slopes of Sangtou Town, under the cover of artillery fire and light and heavy firepower from chariots and cavalry infantry in the east and west directions of the Wufu Highway, bravely rushed out of their positions with guns in their hands and pounced on the enemy group, launching an unprecedented battle to kill the enemy.

In the face of the sudden general attack of the only regiment, the Matsumoto Wing was at a loss by the powerful firepower, and the formation of the position on the north and south slopes of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army was greatly disorganized, and the unified command was lost in panic, and the Japanese troops fled in all directions in a scattered manner.

Captain Matsumoto wanted to launch a final attack on the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the north and south slopes, break through the positions of the Eighth Route Army and immediately withdraw from the battle, and quickly move closer to Yangshuo, but he did not expect that when he was about to break through the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, he was attacked from all sides by the main force of the only regiment, and surrounded the main battlefield between the east and west of the Wufu Highway one thousand meters, and lost the initiative on the battlefield for a while and was forced to return fire.

The chief of staff of the wing, Jun Takada, looked at the panicked captain of the Matsumoto Wing and shouted: "Matsumoto Daisa, now that our wing is no longer able to fight a decisive battle with the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, our wing should immediately withdraw from the battle and quickly move closer to Yangshuo after learning that Ikeda's squadron was annihilated in Fuping City."

Although it is now surrounded by a large army of the Eighth Road, but with the strength and firepower of our wing, if we do not fight with the eighth road, we can still break through, please Captain Matsumoto quickly give the order to retreat, once delayed, the 364th Wing of our Imperial Japanese Army will all die on the battlefield of Shimizu Bridge. ”

Wing Commander Matsumoto regretted that he had not listened to the reminder of Chief of Staff Jun Takada at that time, and led his troops out of the battle in time to move closer to the Yangshuo Katayama Independent Mixed Brigade as quickly as possible.

At this time, in the face of a very unfavorable battlefield situation, this bastard could still calmly order a brigade to concentrate firepower to block the general attack launched by the large forces of the Eighth Route Army and cover the rapid retreat of the main force.

Lei Jian stood on the rock on the southern slope position, scanned the entire battlefield with a telescope at the change of battle between the enemy and us, and constantly issued orders, ordering all units to adjust their offensive routes and strike targets at any time, determined to defeat the arrogance of this elite Japanese army in the battle of Shimizu Bridge, and eliminate the main force of the Matsumoto Wing as much as possible.

At this time, Lao Sun, who had already followed the front-line command post to the position on the southern slope, watched an elite wing of the Japanese army, under the careful deployment of Lei Jian, first harass and attacked the enemy's vanguard advancing to Qingshui Bridge with a single small regiment, and then used the third regiment to bite the enemy's rear team, and then deployed the first, third, and fourth battalions on the north and south slopes west of Sangtou Town to drag the enemy to carry out fire strikes, causing the enemy commander to have the illusion that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was vulnerable.

When Lei Jian received the organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the large army that they were about to reach the Qingshui Bridge in three hours, Commander Nie ordered the only regiment and the third regiment led by Lei Jian to destroy or repel the enemy's Matsumoto Wing within three hours, so as to clear the obstacles for the large army to pass through the Qingshui Bridge.

In order to defeat the Matsumoto Wing in three hours, the quick-witted Thunder Sword sent a sharp knife platoon to capture two Japanese prisoners, and seemingly inadvertently handed over the family photo and command knife of Squadron Leader Ikeda to the Japanese prisoner Captain Oyama, which was just the layout of Thunder Sword.
