"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" In the rumbling of artillery, the Japanese army shouted and launched a charge towards Lu Xingrong's position! Thousands of Japanese troops poured up like a tide, and the momentum was overwhelming!

......The 52nd Division and the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army roared incessantly, trying to provide more fire cover for their own soldiers. Continuously, Japanese soldiers were swept by heavy machine guns and tragically overturned.

There were also soldiers of the 52nd Division who were hit by stray bullets from the Japanese heavy machine guns, but neither side retreated in the slightest! Roaring and constantly shooting bullets from the chamber at the other side!

After a while, the Japanese troops who poured into the position fought with the soldiers of the 52nd Division!

Ren Dehai did not stick to his position in Xingxing Village, and after the latest time he drove out the Japanese charge, he led his troops to abandon their positions and come here to join Lu Xingrong.

In his words, it's either everyone who pulls it down together! Or, the division commander withdraws him to defend the position! Always, if he wants to let Dehai be a deserter and kill him, he can't do it!

Lu Xingrong learned that Red was coming to support, and he acquiesced to Ren Dehai's approach. Of course, it's all because of the unmasked tiger. If it weren't for the Tiger, he would never have believed that Red would come to his aid.

But since the tiger said it, he, Lu Xingrong, believed it unconditionally. That tiger was willing to start a war against Korea because of the Japanese invasion of the Min River, and there was no need for him to deceive himself.

At this time, the Japanese army and the 52nd Division on the position had already been slaughtered!

This kind of fighting is no longer a stranger to both sides, and the rifles with bayonets in the hands of the officers and men of the 52nd Division have long been replaced by all kinds of cold weapons. And the Japanese bayonets that rushed up obviously suffered a loss.

However, the lack of men was the biggest weakness of the 52nd Division, and they had to form a sword and gun formation to meet the Japanese army. This formation was temporarily passed down by a veteran of the 52nd Division.

This kind of formation is also very simple to say, that is, in a group of three or four people, someone specially holds the bayonets of the Japanese army, and the subsequent people kill directly! The last one is responsible for withstanding attacks from behind.

He hadn't thought that this kind of cold weapon formation would be used in the hot weapon period since he learned from his own ancestor, but sometimes things do come out of people's own expectations, and the battle will eventually evolve into a white-knuckle battle between the soldiers of both sides.

So, this kind of formation was really used! With this formation, it can be regarded as temporarily withstanding the impact of the Japanese army. What this veteran doesn't know is that this kind of formation originated from the famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty - Qi Jiguang!

And what he learned. It's the simplified and famous Mandarin Duck Array! The prototype Mandarin Duck Formation is a group of 11 people, mostly with shields and spears, suitable for cold weapon combat. Speaking of which, the Mandarin Duck Formation is actually the first combat group-style army organization model, and it is also the first appearance of modular troops.

However, this kind of modularity is extremely targeted, and the main force in the formation, such as the long card and Teng Dun, is specially used to deal with cold weapons, bows and arrows and spears.

When this formation reached the hands of this veteran. It has already been improved by the Hongmen who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. In fact, almost all kinds of boxing and martial arts in Fujian and Guangdong have an inexplicable relationship with Hongmen.

And Hongmen, who specifically took the anti-Qing Dynasty as its own responsibility, naturally faced encirclement and suppression, including the Qing army and the arrest of Kuai. After a series of improvements in this formation, it has become a formation specially used for fighting, retreating, covering and street scuffle when three or two people are dealing with groups.

These Hongmen old men who created this kind of formation probably didn't expect that this kind of mandarin duck array originating from Qi Jiguang would appear on the battlefield of resistance against Japan again! And this combination of melee is so suitable for dealing with Japan's white-knuckle warfare!

Although with the assistance of the Mandarin Duck Formation, the losses of the 52nd Division were not small. In the shouting and fighting, the officers and men of the 52nd Division were stabbed down by the Japanese army.

And the Japanese army was not comfortable, and the formation of the 52nd Division was like a hedgehog in a circle--the thorns all over the body made it impossible to speak. And they seem to be connected to each other in their small formations, and if you want to break through them, you will immediately fall into a siege!

The two sides scuffled together. The Japanese army's heavy machine guns and grenadiers were not easy to support, so they could only watch helplessly. However, this situation is being broken as the number of Japanese troops gradually increases into the position.

"Kill the enemy!!" Lu Xingrong brandished a big knife "click~" and chopped over a Japanese soldier, and roared at the few remaining officers and soldiers of the 52nd Division on the battlefield!

"Hahaha...... In his life, he was able to die fighting for the country! Hurry! Hurry!! "Don't look at Lao Lu who is not young now, he was also born as an old bandit back then! If you don't have the ability, how can you be in the cottage?!

saw that the big knife in Lao Lu's hand was whistling into the wind, and he opened a few bayonets that stabbed him! With red eyes, he roared and slashed back, directly cutting off the forearm of a Japanese soldier and the throat of another Japanese soldier!

And Lu Wenshan, who seems to be Sven's adjutant, is not ambiguous. With a spear, he followed behind Lu Xingrong! Every time the spear moved, a few Japanese soldiers screamed and fell down!

He vigilantly guarded Lu Xingrong's side, and kept stabbing the Japanese soldiers who tried to kill him! Or pick out the bayonet that stabbed you've stabbed! And Ren Dehai was on his side. and Lu Wenshan and Lu Xingrong formed a small formation!

At this point, the battle has entered the white heat! Fewer and fewer officers and men of the 52nd Division were able to continue fighting, although these soldiers fought bravely against the Japanese army, and even used the Mandarin Duck Formation.

But they are too few in number, and they have experienced a long war! Lu Xingrong couldn't help but laugh miserably when he saw this situation, has it finally arrived?! Are my Minjiang disciples and my 52nd Division going to die here......

"Hahaha...... How can this kind of war be without me Ye Xiping?! A thunderclap sounded on Lu Xingrong's side! Lu Xingrong suddenly lost his mind, turned his head and saw a team of cavalry suddenly killing in the sound of horses' hooves of "Long~Long~Long......"!

And at the front, Lu Xingrong knows! This is the leader of the Fujian Red wanted by the Nanjing State Government and his Lu Xingrong - Ye Xiping! For a while, all kinds of flavors spread in Lu Xingrong's heart.

And this cavalry did not stop. They directly crossed the soldiers of the 52nd Division, and the cavalry swords in their hands suddenly swung towards the Japanese troops who were fighting against the 52nd Division!

The number of this cavalry was not large, at most there were only a hundred people. But after the cavalry impacted, Lu Xingrong's eyes couldn't help but widen! Thousands screamed and slaughtered from the rear of the cavalry!

Seeing the surging new forces all over the mountains, the Japanese army couldn't help but take away their courage! And the gun in his hand couldn't help but loosen a little, and the wing commander who commanded the operation could only sigh and order the troops to withdraw when he saw this!

The 52nd Division did not pursue, and they had no way to pursue. This period of prolonged war. Let the entire fifty-second division run out of energy. And they knew that it was just that the Japanese army was not sure of a temporary retreat.

The rear of the Japanese army was not in chaos. The hard pursuit was definitely hit by the heavy machine guns and artillery of the Japanese army in the past!

And Ye Xiping and they did not pursue, they knew what kind of strength these Japanese troops had in the rear. Chasing the past is no different from sending it to death.

"Whoop~Whoop...... Ye Xiping! I didn't expect you to really come......" Lu Xingrong gasped and said to Ye Xiping, and Ye Xiping jumped down from the war horse and said to Lu Xingrong.

"Speak from the heart. I don't want to come either! Looking at Lu Xingrong's eyes, Ye Xiping said in a deep voice: "How many of our good comrades have been buried under the butcher's knife of you and those old men in Nanjing!" ”

"But we're still here......" Looking at Lu Xingrong with complicated eyes, Ye Xiping said in a deep voice: "You Lu Xingrong and our enmity are broken, that is our internal grudge!" But you're fighting a national war! ”

Saying that, Lu Xingrong took a deep breath and continued: "Since it is a national war, we must come!" Drove out the Japanese. Let's settle our grievances! ”

Lu Xingrong didn't expect Ye Xiping to say it directly, which made him stunned! Then laughed!

"Done! What you Ye Xiping said, my old Lu admitted! Lu Xingrong was also unambiguous, and said to Ye Xiping word by word: "You saved these brothers of my 52nd Division, I admit it!" I'm keeping my life to kill the Japanese devils! If you want to drive away the Japanese, I'm still alive, and I'm going to kill and kill Ye Xiping who follows you! If you want to pop out of a word, I, Lu Xingrong, am not raised! ”

These words were loud, but Ye Xiping just smiled! said to Lu Xingrong: "Let's withdraw first!" It's time for the Japanese to come up in a while! ”

Lu Xingrong nodded. Look around. Ren Dehai knew what he meant, walked to his side and said in a deep voice: "Divisional commander...... There are only three hundred and sixty-two of our brethren left. Brothers who were not seriously injured ......"

As he spoke, Ren Dehai slowly lowered his head. Lu Xingrong was silent. He knew what Ren Dehai meant. It was not that the 52nd Division was not seriously wounded, but that the soldiers of the 52nd Division who were seriously wounded all made a choice - they threw themselves into the crowd of Japanese soldiers with grenades and roaring!

They knew that the 52nd Division did not have much wound medicine. Once you are seriously injured, you are actually dead. They would rather die with dignity.

"Tell the brethren that we will withdraw ......," Lu Xingrong uttered this sentence from his throat in a sad and difficult voice. And Ye Xiping, who was beside him, was also silent, he thought that the 52nd Division would fight very badly and hard.

But he didn't expect that the 52nd Division, which had more than 4,700 people, would fight in one go until now there were only more than 300 people left! Not even a single one was seriously injured, which shows how tragic the battle has become......

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. The bones of those soldiers who died in battle were collected. Under the command of Lu Xingrong, he burned his ashes, put them in a simple jar, and buried them on the edge of the position.

Subsequently, they followed Ye Xiping and they withdrew from the position by taking advantage of the night.

Almost an hour after they withdrew from their positions, there was a sound of horses' hooves of "rumbling ~ rumbling ~ rumbling ......". The Japanese cavalry finally arrived in disgrace, but the position was empty.

The frustrated cavalry brigade immediately sent someone to inform the Japanese infantry brigade on the tidal flat position that their radio station had been bombarded by 107 tigers on the road and had become debris all over the ground.

In desperation, they did not contact the headquarters, so they could only try their best to get here. But when he rushed to the position, he found that the squadron here had already disappeared without a trace.

It is true that the Japanese troops on the tidal flat positions did not notice the departure of the 52nd Division. Everyone is at war. It was impossible to see any lights on the position. And everyone tried to be as quiet as possible.

After all, no one wants to be a target, and a little fire or making a noise is undoubtedly the easiest target.

But what they didn't expect was that the 52nd Division would be withdrawn like this! The Japanese brigade and regiment that got the news hurriedly dispatched all of them to kill the position, and after searching for a long time, the position was empty.

"Red deer!! You're all idiots! The commander of the cavalry brigade, who was transferred by the officer of the army cavalry school, gritted his teeth and said: "The two brigades and regiments have not even looked at a crippled division!" What the hell are you guys up to?! ”

Although it is the same level, but the seniority of the big family is old! He graduated from the 21st Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the 30th Army University, and served as the commander of the 7th Cavalry Wing and also served as the chief of the Ma Zheng Section of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army Province. It is claimed that he is a future cavalry warrior recognized by the military department!

Originally, this major general was going to go to the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but he was snatched down by the division commander by virtue of his connections. This battle was indeed good, and he took Fuzhou City without pausing all the way!

Although it was late to arrive. But the two brigade commanders who had experienced the red attack could understand the hardships.

Therefore, they did not dare to respond to Oga Shigeru's angry scolding.

"Please also ask the two of you to contact Your Excellency the division commander immediately, our cavalry will pursue first! Let's see if we can catch up with the ......" Oga Shigeru took a deep breath, turned to the cavalry and shouted, "Get on the horse!" Keep an eye out for traces along the way! Don't slip away for them! ”

With the order of Oga Shigeru. The cavalry team dispersed "boom~"! And the two brigades did not dare to slack off, and quickly ordered the troops to immediately disperse the search.

It's already dark, where is this trace so easy to find?! Fortunately, the remnants of the Red and 52nd Divisions combined were in the thousands, and there would always be some traces left.

After some tossing, the Japanese army followed the trail and chased after it. And Ye Xiping and others are also old people who have fought in the war, and their second-line positions are set up at the foot of the mountain.

There are not many people, so it plays the role of a blocker!

"Da da da ......" a light machine gun sounded. A few cavalrymen who rushed to the front fell off their horses! Then the grenadier sound of "tom ~ tom ~ tom ......" sounded, and Ogashige's pupils shrank! roared.

"Reclining Horse!!" All the horsemen answered the call and lay down their horses, and then pounced on them!

"Boom! Boom ......" exploded several times one after another, and at this time the Japanese infantry finally arrived! Several machine-gun firing points were hurriedly arranged, and along the trajectory was a burst of strafing fire from the "sudden ......"!

But after a few shuttle bullets, there was no response, and the follow-up troops hurriedly touched it. But what he saw was a small empty position, looking at this temporary position, Oga Mao's face was blue and white for a while!

"Ogae! Don't worry, they can't run! At this time, Hirose Shousuke had also arrived at the scene. He said in a deep voice to the ugly Da He Shige: "They will definitely not be able to get out of this mountain forest!" ”

"Everyone! Search now in a squad formation! ”

"Hay!" Several brigade commanders replied loudly, and then the entire Japanese army dispersed! Heading into the interior of the forest. Hirose Shousuke is also anxious, if it is a normal time, he will definitely not let the troops take advantage of the night to enter the mountains and forests to search.

But helplessly. Now this force has slipped away right under his nose! How can this make the ambitious Hirose Shousuke embarrassed?! So he did not hesitate to mobilize his troops and enter the mountains and forests to try to catch up with the 52nd Division for encirclement and suppression!

Now although Fujian has been defeated according to the plan, the losses of the two divisions are not small! If this force cannot be completely annihilated, this is undoubtedly a shame! At least in Hirose's view, this is an incomplete achievement.

Ye Xiping, who was in the mountains and forests, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the report of the reconnaissance team! It is said that the Japanese army will not pursue it again after knowing that it has entered the mountains and forests.

Especially at night, it's too easy to be ambushed! But the Japanese army really chased after him, which surprised Ye Xiping. After muttering for a while, Ye Xiping said in a deep voice to the captain of the team beside him: "You have laid some suspicious formations and lured them away!" Remember. Don't fight hard, withdraw as soon as you get away! ”

"Commander, I see!" The captain nodded vigorously, and then went down with his detachment.

"Wait!" Ye Xiping stopped a team leader and said to the orderly soldiers beside him: "Give all the machine guns of the other detachments to one team!" Remember, come back alive! ”

The captain nodded vigorously. Then he went down with the men. At this time, Lu Xingrong slowly walked up to Ye Xiping and said in a deep voice: "You can't let your people take risks......

"You've all killed so many devils, you should leave us some, right?!" Ye Xiping knew what this old Lu was thinking, and said to him half-jokingly: "Don't keep thinking about eating alone~"

And Lao Lu ignored Ye Xiping's ridicule, and after a while of silence, he turned to Ren Dehai and said, "Hanxue!" ”

"Here!" Although Ren Dehai was disgraced, he immediately stood up when he heard the call of his division commander! That waist pole is straight!

"Go and help those red brothers...... Lu Xingrong walked to Ren Dehai's side, helped him straighten his crumpled collar, and said in a deep voice: "Our fifty-second division, we can't lose face!" ”

"Yes!!" Ren Dehai didn't say a word, called a few soldiers and chased the back of a captain. Looking at Lu Xingrong's movements, Ye Xiping didn't say much. He knew that the 52nd Division was no longer the 52nd Division of the past.

When fighting with the red, the 52nd Division was beaten by the red and collapsed. There are even times when you are slightly blocked in the attack and run all over the ground!

But this time, they went from 4,700 to more than 300 without taking a step back! This made Ye Xiping's heart have a few more different flavors...... (To be continued)
