Regarding Bai Shujie's deployment, Zhong Guitang knew it well. Moving in the heart of the enemy is too much if you don't disperse your movements. Especially in order to take care of the front and back contact, Wang Xinlan led the radio station to follow the action, which has a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

After rushing from Chengde to Suizhong, Zhao Jinxi held a special meeting with the officers above the company commander level of the task force, emphasizing only two points: first, swearing to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief; Second, make every effort to protect the safety of Xiao Lamei and Wang Xinlan, and never let the enemy catch them!

Because of this, when he set off from the temporary station of Sanjian Mountain at eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Guitang arranged for the third squad to follow Wang Xinlan's action, and he himself led the two squads to fight the front station.

According to the route map of the march, go down the mountain from the north of Panjiayu, cross the big ditch from Mazhuang to the west, go straight to the southwest Tuanshan and Pixia Mountain through Liujiayu, and then turn to the west, and pass through Qishuzhuang from the Yangjiatao and Xiaomazhuang in the southwest to intersperse out. The whole route is to go west along the north bank of the Huixiang River, and then try to find a gap, from Langfang and Tianjin to the north of Baiyangdian.

The "demilitarized zone" demarcated in the "Tanggu Agreement" is actually Jiang "pinching his nose and coaxing his eyes", mainly to deceive the common people. In fact, in Tianjin, Tangshan and Langfang areas in the "demilitarized zone", there are more than 10,000 little devils! Therefore, this "demilitarized zone" is the "non-national military zone", and the little devils do not abide by this regulation!

Zhong Guitang knew from Bai Shujie that there were more than 10,000 little devils in the area where he was marching now, so he naturally didn't dare to take it lightly. In fact, it was safe and sound to speed up for more than 100 miles, and he had already arrived at Yangjiatao at more than eleven o'clock.

"Platoon leader, you lead a few soldiers to reconnoiter ten kilometers forward, and the rest of the people immediately dismount and rest, so that the war horses can recover their strength."

The people killed on the battlefield have a certain unclear premonition. Zhong Guitang has always been close to Zhang Xiang, the commander of the First Division, and his vigilance is naturally higher. At this time, he felt that the current environment was very abnormal, and the area around Yangjiatao should be a place with more farmers, but now there was no sound, it was completely silent!

It's okay to say that there are no lights in the middle of the night, and it's okay if there is no voice. couldn't even hear a dog barking, Zhong Guitang felt very strange.

In less than five minutes, Peng Dawang, the leader of the platoon, had already galloped over with three soldiers on horseback, and shouted from a distance: "Battalion commander, you can't get through, there is at least a brigade of little devil cavalry ten kilometers away!" ”

"See clearly?" Zhong Guitang's hair suddenly stood on end: "Where is the little devil?" ”

Peng Dawang had already come to the front, and he took a breath before saying: "It's on the first line of Xiaomazhuang, and the passage between the two rivers is stuck!" ”

Zhong Guitang no longer hesitated, and immediately gave an order: "All of them have it, immediately mount their horses and retreat to the northwest." The second squad took the lead, conducted an armed search, and immediately fired a warning shot at the enemy. The third class is in the center, and the first class is behind, striving to bypass the south of Yutian County! ”

"Dada-da-"

Zhong Guitang followed the action of the third shift, and the main purpose was to take care of Wang Xinlan. Unexpectedly, less than five kilometers forward, as soon as I arrived at the front line of Dawangzhuang, the sound of Czech light machine guns came from the front!

This is the gunfire of the soldiers of the second squad calling the police, because the little devils don't need this!

"Stop moving forward and spread out!" Zhong Guitang shouted: "The third squad protects Wang Xinlan to retreat urgently, return according to the original way, and be sure to find the detachment leader!" Even if you all die, you must send Wang Xinlan out! At the same time, tell the detachment commander to move quickly and not to come to the rescue! If we can't hold back the little devils, avenge us! ”

Boom-boom--at this moment, the shells were already approaching. Zhong Guitang saw that the big thing was not good, and as soon as he grabbed it with his right hand, he dragged Wang Xinlan over the horse and put it in front of him, and then turned the horse's head and rushed backwards. At the same time shouted: "Don't huddle together, spread out, all spread out to avoid shelling!" ”

In such an instant, the first shell had fallen, which happened to be the position of Wang Xinlan's war horse! With a loud bang, the war horse has been blown to pieces! If Zhong Guitang's reaction is a little slower for a second, Wang Xinlan's ending can be imagined!

In one breath, he rushed out for more than ten miles to the east, but the shells always followed the war horse. The fighters of the third squad followed, and although they were bombarded by two shells, only one person was killed.

At this moment, the first company commander Xie Chongguang and the second platoon had already come over, and they just collided head-on with Zhong Guitang.

Zhong Guitang put down Wang Xinlan and turned his horse's head and ran, and shouted at the same time: "You guys are here just right, hurry up and protect Wang Xinlan to retreat eastward, I want to go back and collect the other two squads!" Tell the detachment leader not to reinforce him, the little devil has obviously set up an ambush! ”

Bai Shujie: The sound of shell explosions they heard in the back was at this time!

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the second company behind the palace had already come to Bai Shujie's side in less than a minute, and then formed a circle within a hundred meters.

Deputy battalion commander Chang Bikuan came to Bai Shujie's side and said, "Detachment leader, you quickly retreat, I'll take people up to reinforce a company!" ”

"It's useless!" Bai Shujie had already spread out the map under the lantern lit by Xiao Lamei: "Simple reinforcements are useless, our machine guns can't do the little devil's field artillery." If you come over and see, the cannon sound in front should be at this location: the line between Huzhuang and Xialiuwan. In other words, the little devil is blocking the direction of Yutian County. ”

"This place is not the route we chose, so it means that Zhong Guitang and they must have encountered the enemy in the south, and then turned around and headed northwest. Now there is an enemy in both directions, and it is clear that the enemy knows about our actions and even knows the route of our march! In that case, there should also be an enemy from the east to block our retreat! ”

Chang Bikuan is not a fool, the little devil has set up an ambush with all his heart, and there must be a careful deployment. Now if you don't do it well, you'll be surrounded on all sides!

"Detachment leader, what should we do now? If something happens to you here, it's going to be a catastrophe! ”

Bai Shujie's fingers quickly drew a circle on the map, and he said to himself: "The south is all a water network area, which is not suitable for war horses to move. But the enemy has a field artillery attack, and this direction will definitely not work. We are currently south of the Shaliu River, only to the north, a distance of twenty kilometers to be able to rush into the mountains, this is our only chance! The guard company left infantry guns and heavy machine guns and immediately protected Xiao Lamei and the radio station to the north! ”

"Chang Bikuan, you lead a platoon and two infantry guns to set off immediately, and rush to the front line of Liangjiadian as quickly as possible to respond to a company. Zhao Qinglin took the remaining platoon of the second company to set off with the guard company, immediately took Shaliuhe Town and resolutely held it! Zhu Dagui, the commander of the second company, led the remaining platoon and two anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, and immediately set out with me to rescue Zhong Guitang and them. No one is allowed to talk nonsense, immediately carry out the order! ”

Bai Shujie quickly put away the map, and then flew on the horse and shouted: "Zhu Dagui, let's go!" ”

The sound of artillery in front was still endless, but Bai Shujie did not rush towards the battlefield, but inserted it to the southwest in Baiguantun. After half an hour of rapid marching, they finally crossed a large water network and arrived at the south of Yutian County. In this place, you can already see the parabola drawn by the shells in the sky!

At this moment, thousands of horses roared in the southeast behind him, and the earth shook. This is the momentum caused by the huge cavalry force, and a cavalry brigade ambushed by the little devil finally can't bear to move, and now it is trying to press north.

"Immediately set up two heavy machine guns and prepare to fight the cavalry troops of the little devils!" Bai Shujie didn't care about the cavalry of the little devils rushing over from the south, but stared at the artillery position of the little devils in the north: "Zhu Dagui, these two twin heavy machine guns are equivalent to four Type 92." I'll leave a squad for you to block the enemy's cavalry here, and you must block Lao Tzu for half an hour to cover the company's withdrawal from the battle! ”

Bai Shujie reached out with his right hand, and he had already pulled out the machine gun from the holster next to the saddle bridge: "The remaining three squads will come with me and finish off the artillery position of the little devil!" ”

Sixty people and sixty war horses galloped north with Bai Shujie. Only by completely destroying the enemy's artillery positions will it be possible for a company to break out of the encirclement.

Zhu Dagui has no time to care about other aspects, and only now can he seize the time to deploy his position and give full play to the power of his weapons as much as possible, so that he can strive for a glimmer of life. After some scrambling, two twin heavy machine guns were finally in place a hundred meters apart on the embankment.

"Four light machine guns were distributed on both sides of the heavy machine guns to act as protection to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!" Zhu Dagui ran back and forth on the embankment: "The heavy machine gun is specially responsible for striking the cavalry on the other side of the river, the mortar provides fire support, and the light machine gun is specially responsible for defense, blocking the way of the little devil is victory!" ”

The time was only two or three minutes, and the first cavalry phalanx of the little devils had already appeared in the sight of the warriors. Now in the middle of the night, I saw that the enemy was a large black area, and I couldn't tell what the situation was.

Zhu Dagui used a telescope to simply measure the enemy's distance and movement speed to find the best time to fire. Although the striking distance of the twin heavy machine guns is 2,400 meters, the maximum killing range is still 500-800 meters.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters!

Zhu Dagui was holding a telescope in his left hand, and the fist in his right hand had already been raised, and then he shouted: "Heavy machine gun fire, hit Lao Tzu hard!" Mortars, look for places where the enemy is concentrated and shoot freely! Light machine guns keep a close eye on the enemy! ”

"Goo-goo! Goo-goo! ”

The twin anti-aircraft heavy machine gun fired much faster than the Type 92 heavy machine gun, but the sound was very strange, low and powerful. Probably because the rate of fire is too fast, the rhythm is not very clear, like the cry of an old hen.

In this blurred vision in the middle of the night, the machine gun shooters, in order to ensure the hit rate, all shot horses without hitting people. As the two heavy machine guns fired, the cavalry forward of the little devil suddenly turned on his back. Or it is more appropriate to call it "horses fall down, people fly"!

Rows and rows of war horses fell, and the little devils on horseback suddenly flew out. Some were trampled to death on the spot by the war horses that rushed up from behind, this is the sadness of cavalry!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
