Chapter 129

Li Shiyong took the telescope and looked at the South highland for a long time. He murmured, "Captain Zhang, they've shot all of them... Although they are more than us, they don't have heavy machine guns and their firepower is too poor. It's really difficult for them to last so long!"

A soldier said weakly, "company commander, the devil will attack us soon. We don't have many bullets left and there aren't many grenades. Let's think about what to do?"

Li Shiyong looked at the soldiers who were still alive on the battlefield and said with a bitter smile, "what else can we do with just 30 people? If the devil wants to come, we'll try our best to stop it! Our task is to stick here for eight hours. Now it's only seven hours. We haven't finished the task yet!"

A sentry soldier shouted, "company commander, the brother of the friendly army came and said he had something to discuss with you!"

Li Shiyong wondered, "friendly army? Which friendly army?"

An officer dressed in Kuomintang army clothes entered the position with two guards. As soon as he met, he saluted Li Shiyong and said, "Hello, I'm wang Shengzhi, liaison officer of 358 regiment of Jinsui army."

Li Shiyong said strangely, "358 regiment? Chu Yunfei's army? Welcome, what can I do for you?"

Wang Shengzhi said: "company commander Li, according to the information, these devils are a complete team with more than 3800 people. Considering that the strength of your position is too small, our head of Chu suggested that you withdraw from the position and our 358 regiment continue to block the enemy!"

Li Shiyong raised his chin and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, brother. Thank you for the kindness of head Chu. On behalf of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I thank you! But the order I received was to stick here for eight hours. Now there is no order from our political Commissar. Even if the sky falls, we have to bear it with our heads!"

Wang Shengzhi said earnestly: "brother, don't carry it hard. With your strength and no heavy weapons, don't fight with a regiment of devils. Isn't this sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger?"

Li Shiyong smiled contemptuously and said, "don't worry about it, brother. Even if I enter the tiger's mouth, I'll break off some of its teeth! Brother, please go back. The devil is estimated to attack our army soon. I'm not polite. I'll forgive me for not giving it away!"

Wang Shengzhi sighed and had to leave with the guards.

Sure enough, as soon as the Japanese army solved Zhang Li's district team in the southern highland, they immediately organized a large number of people to attack the northern highland. They saw that devils were flocking all over the hillside.

Li Shiyong looked around and said with a smile, "brothers, when the devil comes, get up for me. Put the devil closer and fight again. We don't have many bullets!"

……

Wang Shengzhi returned to the 358 regiment position not far away and reported the situation to Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei sighed and said nothing.

The battle had begun again. Sun Ming looked at it with a telescope for a while. His face looked unbearable and said, "Tuan Zuo, these eight routes are really hard! Such a small force just blocked a detachment of devils!"

Chu Yunfei asked, "how long have they been blocking?"

Sun Ming looked at his watch and said in surprise, "seven hours and fifteen minutes!"

Chu Yunfei sighed, "I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army is going to run out. Why bother? It's really an iron army and worthy of Li Yunlong's soldiers! Li Yunlong has been seriously injured and fallen this time, but his troops are still so brave, which is really admirable!"

The battle lasted only 20 minutes. Li Shiyong and his company managed to beat back the Japanese attack, leaving only five people left.

Li Shiyong was stunned by the enemy's heavy artillery, and his whole upper body was buried in the dust raised by the falling shells. The only few people dug him out like a yam egg, and finally woke him up under a burst of cries.

Li Shiyong was still a little confused and asked blankly, "did the devil retreat?"

A soldier cried, "company commander, the devil retreated, but he will attack again soon!"

Li Shiyong said angrily, "Why are you crying? The devil has stopped the gunfire now. It must be an attack soon. Get ready to fight?"

The soldier cried, "company commander, we've run out of ammunition. We can't keep it!"

Li Shiyong was stunned for a moment and murmured, "are you all out? There are no bullets. Are there any grenades?"

A soldier said, "no, none. Now there are only five of us in the company!"

Another soldier asked, "company commander, tell me, what should we do?"

Li Shiyong looked ferocious and said, "it's still necessary to ask? Of course, it's fighting with the devil! There's no ammunition, we still have rifles and bayonets! Even if we beat all the company, we'll hold the devil for a few more minutes!"

A soldier suddenly said happily, "by the way, company commander, we have one explosive bag left!"

Li Shiyong hurriedly said, "OK, take it quickly!"

The soldier hurried over and took the only explosive bag left in the company. Li Shiyong called everyone around and said calmly: "comrades, as soon as the devil comes up, I'll pull the fire! Are you afraid of death?"

Several soldiers laughed and said, "fear of death? We have enough money today. When we die, we will pull a few more devils on our backs. We are worth it in this life!"

Li Shiyong said with a smile: "OK! It's worthy of being a soldier of our independent regiment! I suggest that we sing a song? Just sing our Eighth Route Army military song. I'll start!"

Just listen to the mighty and majestic song suddenly sounded on the position. Although it was only five people, the sound rang through the sky, even on the position of 358 regiment.

"The iron flow is 25000 miles, straight in a firm direction, and has been trained into an invincible force after ten years of hard struggle..."

With a large number of Japanese troops attacking the Highlands, there was a sudden "boom" in the position. Li Shiyong and four soldiers successfully died together with eight devils who tried to capture them.

……

Chu Yunfei heard the loud noise and hurriedly raised the telescope to check. After a long time, Chu Yunfei put down the telescope with tears in his eyes.

Sun Ming was also a tiger's eye. With tears in his eyes, he said, "regiment seat, the Eighth Route Army guarding the position is all over!"

Chu Yunfei got up slowly, gave a standard military salute towards the position of the original Eighth Route Army, and praised: "all heroes! Brother Yunlong, you really brought out an iron army, and Chu really admired it!"

Sun Ming cried, "hundreds of people are over? None of them are alive!"

Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice, "wipe away your tears! The Eighth Route Army is over and it's our turn to do it! The Eighth Route Army is good, and our 358 regiment can't be cowards! Pass my order and let all the troops prepare for battle!"

Sun Ming wiped his tears with his sleeve and shouted, "yes!"

With Chu Yunfei's order, the people in the ring fortification of the 358 regiment were immediately busy, and they were ready for the coming fierce battle.
