Kawashima Ye is also in a dilemma now. He wants to launch an attack immediately. However, he has not yet figured out the enemy situation on the opposite side. The situation he got from the mouth of a squadron leader of Ida Squadron is also one-sided. Is there any opponent on the opposite side?

Now he has no idea about the armed forces of China.

However, it was getting dark soon. If he did not launch an attack now, he would be afraid of being attacked by the Chinese army after dark.

Kawashima Nozhi did not think at all that Li Tieshu and Liu Wenxu on the opposite side would turn around and retreat. Because he did not know the situation in the town, he still thought that the people in the town had not fled, so Kawashima Nozhi thought that before the people

It was impossible for Li Tieshu, Liu Wenxue and others to turn around and retreat before they could escape.

Watching the sky gradually darken, Kawashima prepared to attack before dark. After making up his mind, Kawashima ordered the mountain artillery and field artillery on the hillside to point into the deep ditch and start shelling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

…

The Japanese bombardment began, and the shells fell so hard that the ground trembled. Some timid people in Tianlong Village and the security group were so beaten that they wet their pants.

A soldier from the security regiment couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and ran out of the dug anti-bomb hole. However, as soon as he rushed out of the hole with a loud shout, a Japanese 105mm bullet hit him.

The cannonball fell to the ground next to him.

"boom!"

After a loud noise, people in the bomb-proof cave saw that the soldier of the security group was lifted into the air by the explosion, and his body was torn apart, and his body was scattered on the ground in several pieces.

The violent bombardment made it impossible for Li Tieshu and others to dig some of the shell-proof caves they had just dug. A shell exploded at the entrance of the cave. People in the shell-proof caves that did not have much depth would be directly killed by the explosion.

In the cave.

The Japanese bombardment lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour and finally stopped. At the same time as the Japanese bombardment stopped, Kawashima Ye ordered a Japanese squadron to start attacking Li Tieshu's position.

Although there was no heavy artillery bombardment, the 60 mortars of the Japanese squadron also began to show their power when the Japanese infantry began to attack. Although the Japanese mortars still bombarded, Li Tieshu still asked everyone to risk their lives.

Mortar bombardment moved into combat position.

Li Tieshu rushed to the front of Shangshengou and saw that the attacking Japanese squadron had advanced to a distance of about two hundred meters from their position. He got up, and the Japanese heavy machine guns were also set up, pointing in the direction of the position "Da! Da!"

Da!" roared crazily.

Although many of the people who have survived in Tianlong Village and the security group are very timid, they can all be regarded as warriors. War is the best training ground and a truly eugenic place.

In a place like Shutai, only those who can survive the battle can truly master the skills of combat.

Li Tieshu ordered everyone to prepare for battle and to use the sound of his gun as a signal before opening fire. When the attacking Japanese squadron advanced to about a hundred meters, the Japanese who were hunched over and advancing cautiously suddenly suddenly

The Japanese commander raised his command sword and shouted the order to charge. He stood up straight and charged towards Li Tieshu's position.

"Fight! Fire!"

After the Japanese began to charge, Li Tieshu immediately raised his gun and fired and gave the order to fire. The soldiers who had been preparing for the attack, after hearing the sound of Li Tieshu's gunfire, simultaneously pulled the triggers in their hands and shot the third soldier.

A bullet was fired.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ta! Ta! Ta!"

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

…

Various gunshots intertwined together and resounded in the battlefield. Bullets were like rain, flying in each other's direction, taking away a person's life at any time.

After firing here, the Japs still had no intention of stopping and continued to rush forward crazily. When the Japs rushed to a distance of about fifty meters, Li Tieshu ordered loudly: "Grenade! Prepare grenades! Press the Japs down!"

"

"Chi...!"

After Li Tieshu pulled down the safety cord of a grenade, the grenade emitted white smoke and stayed in his hand for about two seconds. Then Li Tieshu threw it out with all his strength, and threw it over the Japs' heads.

"boom!"

A Japs watched the grenade fly towards him, and just as he threw himself on the ground in front of him, ready to fall down, the grenade exploded in the air in front of him, sending the little Japs flying towards the Japs' charge.

behind the team.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under Li Tieshu's order, dozens of grenades flew from the position towards the charging Japs crowd. Continuous explosions rang out among the Japs crowd, finally suppressing the Japs' fierce charge.

Kawashima Ye stood on the hillside. After seeing such an explosion, he raised his telescope and looked towards the battlefield. The Japs' charge was suppressed, and the Japs had already lost dozens of people. Kawashima Ye looked at his spectacles in the direction and raised his head again.

After looking at the sky, he ordered the messenger next to him: "Send an order to the attacking Hashimoto Squadron and order them to withdraw!"

"Hi!"

After the Japanese messenger received the order, he sent the order to Hashimoto Squadron. However, Yamasugi Goyo, the chief of staff of the brigade next to Kawashimano, asked in confusion: "Kawashima-dono, why did you tell Hashimoto Squadron to stop attacking! They

It's just a temporary setback now, and the Chinese people opposite them have suffered greater losses. I think as long as they charge twice, they can break into the Chinese positions!"

Hearing this, Kawashima turned to look at Shansugi Goyang and said: "Shansugi-san, it's going to be dark soon, which is not good for our imperial army. Those Chinese people who are with the Chinese army should be

The local Chinese armed personnel are very familiar with the terrain here. Night fighting is more beneficial to them, but it is a great disadvantage to us. What we have to do now is to shrink our troops and do a good job as a Chinese

Defense preparations for a night raid!”

Shanshan Wuyang nodded, and said as if he suddenly understood: "Soukar! But, Mr. Kawashima, will the Chinese really come to sneak attack at night? Won't they escape under the cover of night?"

Kawashima Nomu looked at Yamasugi Goyang deeply, and suddenly smiled and said: "Hahaha! It seems that you don't know the Chinese people very well, Yamasugi-kun. Since there are local armed forces from China on the other side, do you think they will give up on them?"

Are you going to flee with the Chinese army? Shanshan Jun, based on my understanding of the Chinese people, they value their home the most, so I’m sure they won’t just give up their home and flee with the Chinese army!

"

Yamasugi Goyo nodded again, this time he seemed to really understand Kawashimano's thoughts.

The Japanese attack suddenly withdrew, which puzzled Li Tieshu. Liu Wenxue turned back from the town, walked to Li Tieshu, looked at the Japanese squadron that was retreating, and asked in confusion: "Japanese retreat

How come this attack was withdrawn so quickly?"

Li Tieshu looked at the retreating Japs Yaoyao and said: "I don't know. Although their attack was suppressed, judging from their orderly retreat, they did it intentionally. There cannot be other reasons.

A conspiracy, right?"

Liu Wenxu looked at Li Tieshu, and Yaoyao expressed her confusion. In order to prevent the Japanese from shelling again, after the Japanese began to retreat, Li Tieshu once again ordered the soldiers to enter the anti-gun cave. However, they waited for a long time, but they did not see anything.

The Japanese fired a shell at the position.

It was getting dark very quickly, and it seemed impossible for the Japanese to launch another attack. Liu Wenxue proposed to Li Tieshu that the team should be divided into three groups to retreat in batches. First, let the first echelon retreat to the town and explore the town.

Are there any Japs in the east direction?

After the two people discussed it, they decided that Liu Wenxue would lead Pang Jiancheng and part of the security group as the first echelon to retreat and clear obstacles for the teams behind.

In order to paralyze the Japanese, while Liu Wenxue and his first echelon began to retreat, Li Tieshu had people light bonfires on the position. Liu Wenxue, Pang Jiancheng and others also lit bonfires in the town, giving the appearance of insisting on holding on.

.Kawashima Ye on the opposite hillside, after seeing the bright lights in the position and the town, said to his chief of staff, Yamasugi Goyo: "Yamasugi-kun, you saw it! I said that it is impossible for the Chinese

Escaped!"

"Your Excellency Kawashima knows things like a god, I admire you even though you are humble in your position!" Yamasugi Goyang took the opportunity to flatter Kawashima.

While Kawashima Ye was happily accepting the flattery of Shanshan Wuyang, Liu Wexue and Pang Jiancheng led the team to the direction of Zhendong. They carefully searched for about 200 meters to the east of Zhendong, and determined

After knowing that there were no more Japanese, Liu Wenxue ordered Pang Jiancheng to light a larger bonfire at the east entrance of the town to send a safety signal to Li Tieshu.

After seeing the light of the bonfire lit in the east of the town, Li Tieshu waved to Chai Yunci, Cao Tiejiang and Cheng Hu. They would lead another pair of people to retreat to the east of the town as the second echelon. From the dark place

After reaching the deep ditch, Chai Yunci, Cao Tiejiang and others retreated to the east of the town in a dark place deliberately left by Liu Wenxu and others, avoiding the sight of the Japanese.

About half an hour after the second echelon of Chai Yunci, Cao Tiejiang and others withdrew, Li Tieshu led the remaining twenty people, laid mines on the position, and began to secretly retreat to the east of the town.

Everything went very smoothly and did not attract the attention of the Japanese. After meeting in the east of Zhendong, they were still divided into three echelons, with a distance of about one mile between each team, and began to set off towards the mountains where the people of Shanqian Town fled.

In Kawashima Ye on the hillside to the west of the town, after the attacking squadron withdrew, they ordered the Japanese to start preparing for sneak attacks. Although there was no sneak attack in the first half of the night, Kawashima Ye did not think much about it. He thought that the Chinese

There won't be a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

The most likely possibility was that they would launch a sneak attack after midnight, when people were most sleepy. Therefore, after everything was arranged, Kawashima actually went to bed with his clothes on, hoping to regain his energy and prepare.

Fighting against the Chinese sneak attack in the middle of the night.

There was no movement all night. Although he was confused, Yamasugi Goyo still did not dare to wake up the sleeping Kawashimano. When Kawashimano woke up, it was already dawn. Kawashimano opened his eyes and took a look.

After the watch, he got up suddenly, rushed out of the military tent, and asked the Japanese soldiers on duty outside: "Is there any movement among the Chinese? Where is the chief of staff?"

The Japanese soldier respectfully reported to Kawashima Ye: "Report to the captain, there is no movement from the Chinese. The chief of staff has gone to the front squadron to inspect!"
