Chapter 98

The sun had risen to the sky, and the Japanese army had been encircling and suppressing the independent regiment for more than two hours. The bodies of gray and yellow military uniforms are everywhere in the wilderness, and the war horses who have lost their owners are reluctant to leave for a long time. They all lingered in front of their masters, and from time to time dropped their heads to lick their masters. They seemed to know that their masters could no longer stand up and gallop with them.

No matter what Morita did not know, he knew that his * * cavalry Union had more casualties and the number of people killed in the war was several times higher than those of the "Chinaman".

The * * soldier who had broken his arm just started charging himself to his cavalry unit, and faced thousands of enemies without fear. He was also killed by him desperately when he died. The man is dead, but he still holds the bloody saber in his hand. What an unyielding military soul?

Looking at the dead body with broken arms on the ground, kuroshima Morita couldn't help taking off his military cap and solemnly dismounted to pay a military salute.

"Pass my orders!" said Morita, a black island. "Bury these soldiers, they are warriors! As soldiers of the Empire, we must respect such opponents, and let them not expose themselves to the wild * *!"

As soon as the order was given, dozens of people began to dig pits to bury the soldiers of these cavalry companies.

"Leave 30 people to clean up the battlefield, and others continue to pursue with me!" kuroshima Morita knew that what he met this time must be the recently famous independent regiment of 386 brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Other troops would never have such a strong fighting will. Such enemies must be completely eliminated, otherwise the soldiers of the Empire will be killed and injured by them.

On the other side, Guo Lingfeng marched all the way with the rest of the independent regiment. He ran for more than 40 miles. When he saw a village destroyed by devils, he stopped to have a rest.

"This is Xinzhuang. The devil killed the village this time!" the guard company commander came over and said. His name is Wu guanlei. He was an old soldier who joined the army in 1934. Over the years, he fought bravely and made meritorious service many times. If he hadn't been a guard company commander, he would have been a battalion commander with his qualifications and meritorious service.

Guo Lingfeng said, "the soldiers are tired. Let's have a rest here!"

Li Yunlong had already woke up, but he was weak and didn't take over Guo Lingfeng's command. At the moment, he heard the speech and hurriedly said, "Xiao Wu, you should send a guard post immediately. The devil's nose is smarter than a dog!"

"Yes, commander!" Wu guanlei hurriedly took several people to the periphery to guard.

"Lao Li, what should we do next?" Guo Lingfeng saw that his spirit seemed to be better. "The devil must not be far from here. I guess I can catch up in another hour or two!"

Li Yunlong looked at the sky and said, "Lao Guo, have you ever seen a rake holding grass?"

Guo Lingfeng grew up in the countryside when he was a child. Of course, he saw this thing. After hearing the speech, he was stunned and asked, "Lao Li, what do you mean by asking?"

Li Yunlong said: "The devil's sweeping force is like a rake. We are now located between the teeth of the rake. If the army leaves Xinzhuang now, it will just meet the devil! This is a plain, only about 20 miles from the mountain. The army is exposed to the plain in the daytime, which is like hitting the devil's muzzle! My opinion is that there are no ordinary people in Xinzhuang anyway. I We will defend on the spot in Xinzhuang and break through when it is dark! As long as we rush out, we can rush into the mountains in two hours, and the devil will never catch up with us again! "

Guo Lingfeng nodded and said, "I agree to defend on the spot, but the problem is that we have less than one company. Can we defend until dark?"

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Li Yunlong said decisively, "we don't have a second way to go!"

"All right!" Guo Lingfeng sighed. "You're still weak. I'll arrange fortifications!"

After that, Guo Lingfeng and monk Wei arranged around. Fortunately, there are many ruins in the village. There is no need to dig trenches.

An hour passed quickly. The fortifications had been laid. A soldier lay behind the broken wall and turned to ask, "commander, we are all ready. If the devil doesn't come, we won't be busy in vain?"

Leaning against a broken wall, Li Yunlong smiled: "If only the devil didn't come! When it's dark, we'll put oil under our feet and go straight into the mountain. You boy, do you think I'd like to fight this war? I tell you, this kind of defensive war is the most boring. Hide here and wait for others to fight! Our independent regiment always pays attention to attack. Our division commander also said that the best defense is attack!"

The soldier said with a smile, "it's easy to do. When the devil hits our fortification, we'll rush out and fight him back!"

"No!" Li Yunlong hesitated and said, "not today! You can't use your brain. You can't fight back at any time! Now the rest of us have less than one company's strength, so we have to stick to it until dark! If we don't have much capital, we can't fight hard. We have to calculate the use of force!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong shouted to the soldiers around him: "this time, our independent regiment has changed its route. After breaking the sky, we can't go out of this fortification! When the enemy is far away, he will shoot with a gun and when he is near, he will greet with a grenade! I'll smoke first!"

Li Yunlong touched his body. He ran in such a hurry. He didn't touch it for a long time. The whole person sat there awkwardly.

A soldier asked, "is the commander out of cigarettes?"

Li Yunlong smiled at himself: "no, we're in a hurry. I still have a box of 'big front door' and forgot to take it with me!"

The soldier said with a smile: "commander, please bear it first. When the devil comes, let's beat back their first attack. I'll touch the devil's body. The devil must have smoke!"

Li Yunlong said with a smile, "it's okay. I'll put up with it! Try to get me ammunition and guns when you touch the devil's body. I won't die if I don't smoke. If we run out of bullets, we'll be finished!"

Guo Lingfeng inspected all the fortifications. He just came back. As soon as he met, he asked, "Lao Li, you said it's been an hour. Why haven't the devils caught up? Are they chasing in the wrong direction?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile, "it's good to chase the wrong direction. I don't want to fight this battle yet!"

Just now the soldier said with a smile, "Captain, why are devils chasing us like mad dogs? Did you do the same during the long march?"

Li Yunlong said, "it's different! Although the devils are hard to get rid of at present, this is a base area. Our Eighth Route Army has a mass base and the people help us! It was different during the long march. Lao Jiang had hundreds of thousands of people and horses. There were planes in the sky and people chasing after them on the ground. The places where the troops passed by had no mass base and the people didn't help us. It was much more sad than now!"

A soldier said, "Captain, will you tell us the story of the long march?"

Li Yunlong asked, "do you all want to hear it?"

Several soldiers said one after another, "want to hear..."

Li Yunlong said solemnly: "There's no way to listen to a story! If someone tells a story, you still have to give some tea money. If I tell a story, I'll lose a dime? If I want to tell a story, I'll vote for Lao Wang! It doesn't cost money. You can't keep it and you can't have a baby. Why do you keep it? In addition to voting for a recommendation, give me some book money? You can't collect anything!"

Guo Lingfeng applauded: "Lao Li, well said! As a quality reader, it should be so!"
