Li Yuan was lying on the north side of the road, listening to the constant sound of gunfire and occasional grenade explosions from the south.

After the search team in the north of the Japanese retreated when it was dark, the county brigade moved forward to the bushes on the north side of the highway.

It is speculated that there should be soldiers of the National Army breaking through the siege, but they have never heard the sound of the Japanese grenade explosion. After years of experience, it should be that the Japanese pursued the National Army breaking through.

The gunshots started from Hongxingqiao Town, and the gunshots kept moving westward, and the speed was still very fast.

The explosion of the Japanese grenade without the Japanese shows that the Japanese are chasing and cannot use their grenades. If they throw the grenade and keep running forward, they must stop in the dark, otherwise they will explode to the Japanese chasing them.

I grabbed the telescope and observed the south. Under the faint moonlight, there were some forests and undulating bushes in the middle, and there were no sight except the occasional flash.

The 79th rifle sounds are not much, and the Japanese 38th rifle sounds are even more intense.

Not long after, a figure crossed the highway and ran quickly from the south: "Report, about one mile south of the highway, there were several soldiers of the National Army breaking through, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were chasing behind them. The number of people was unknown. At present, there are more than 30 people in the northernmost group, and there are also gunshots in the south, and the number of people is unknown."

Li Yuan asked in a deep voice: "What are the specific locations?"

"There are about three miles west of Hongxingqiao Town. The two sides are very close to each other. The terrain is a scattered bamboo forest. Going westward, there is a mulberry forest, which is very short and cannot provide cover. They can't hold on for long."

Li Yuan did not hesitate: "Squad 3 is adjourning the back, and Team 1 and 2 are set off with me."

In the past, I was also from the National Army, so there was no reason not to save me.

More than forty black shadows were divided into three columns and rushed to the highway in a swarm. The distance was not far, and the total distance was less than two miles. Go forward quickly and you can reach the vicinity of the gun in five or six minutes.

.........

Liu Jian hit the Japanese who was chasing the front. The severe pain made him unable to pull the bolt again, so he had to pull a grenade in front of him and throw it in the direction where the Japanese were chasing him.

The hands were bored and threw them not far away. The Japanese chasing him could see clearly. Before he could get the opportunity to pull the trigger, the two sides were very close. Seeing that the black and smoked thing was thrown over, he didn't bother to kill the soldier in front of him. He hurriedly pulled the gun, threw the gun to the side, shouting: "Grenade".

The Japanese reacted quickly, which caused a chain reaction from the Japanese behind. The Japanese who had not had time to lie down squatted on the spot and turned their heads forward, hoping to use a steel helmet to block the possible shrapnel and reduce the surface of the bullet.

With a loud bang, Liu Jian, who was lying on the ground, didn't throw the grenade far away. The shock wave lifted him up, but fortunately he was not injured by shrapnel.

The two ghosts howled.

Fang Cheng, who had met the machine gunner, did not hesitate and let the machine gunner come forward and prepare to kill him. If Liu Jian is still alive, he will take him away. If he dies in his country, he will beat the Japanese hard and run away.

It was hard to see clearly on the edge of the bamboo forest. The Japanese got up from the ground and rushed forward again. Unpredictable, someone rushed back, raised their guns, but before they could aim, the person who rushed back spewed out the flames.

Dadadada... The machine gun bullets poured over.

The Japanese reacted quickly, and they lay down all over the ground again, lifted the gun and shot it, regardless of whether they could hit it or not.

Fang Cheng and Liu Zi walked around the bamboo forest, helped Liu Jian on the ground up, and retreated into the bamboo forest to the south.

A magazine was empty, and the machine gunner quickly retreated to the south bamboo forest, retouching and exchanging the magazine.

At this time, there was a sound of running footsteps coming from the north, which attracted the attention of the two groups of people who were shooting. Fang Cheng secretly complained that if he had just run west, he might have been able to escape. Now he is being attacked on both sides and seems to be doomed.

No longer panic, he said to the recruits: "Sixth son, are you afraid of death?"

The recruit was trembling: "What else is there to be scary? I can't escape anyway."

Liu Jian on the ground was a little moved and angry: "You two are just knives, and you have to come back."

Fang Cheng sighed a little: "What a pity, I haven't even married my wife yet, it's a pity."

The machine gunners pointed at the back: "You are so poor, you can pull a few more pads later. You can throw a grenade from there, and I will deal with those from the north."

The gunshots suddenly rang, but the gunshots were directed at the Japanese lying on the ground and firing, and the fires brought by the muzzle flames kept flashing.

The Japanese on the ground kept screaming, and the Japanese also made a ruthless move. They immediately turned their guns and wanted to fight back to the north. But they did not expect that the group of people from the north were very different from ordinary national troops. As long as the Japanese guns moved north, at least two bullets would be taken care of him immediately.

The four national soldiers were stunned for a while. They were rescuers! They quickly opened fire on the Japanese.

When Li Yuan came up, the Japanese were shooting at Liu Jian, and the muzzle exposed all their positions.

The dense gunfire did not stop, and the Japanese were shot and fell down. The four people in the bamboo forest took this opportunity to run north. There was an open land to the west, and there was no idea whether there were Japanese in the south. The two of them supported Liu Jian. The machine gunner broke the back, and another machine gun bullet spilled on the bamboo forest on the Japanese.

The bullets fell in the dark night, and they were scattering bullets to places with muzzle flames. Although the number of Japanese soldiers was quite large, the firepower in the north was not bad.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese soldiers asked the Japanese to retreat south into the bamboo forest. With the cover of the bamboo forest, they kept firing fiercely to the troops in the north. The soldiers of the county brigade lying in the bushes were constantly shot.

Seeing that the four people had come north, Li Yuan ordered a retreat. Several soldiers took off the grenades from the ammunition bag, pulled the strings and threw them towards the Japanese. The distance between the two sides was a little far away and threw them on the open space between the two sides.

After the grenade exploded, bursts of smoke rose, and the Japanese did not dare to attack. After all, they didn't know how many people in the north were.

The four people running north were not fast. After all, they were holding the injured and were about to sink into the bushes in the north.

The Japanese who fell into the paddy field in the west tiptoed to the machine gunner's way, and pointed the gun at the few shadows running north. He could judge the enemy by listening to the gunshots in the dark night. The one who escaped must be a Chinese soldier.

Bottom, the bullet rushed out of the muzzle of the 38th cover and hit the machine gunner who was shooting with a Czech machine gun. The machine gunner staggered, stood unsteadily, and immediately fell to the north.

The bullet drilled into the back, and the bullet hit the shoulder blade. A pain came and made a strange scream.

The Japanese's shooting also attracted bullets for a while, and a bullet hit the Japanese's shoulder, and the Japanese also lay on the ground and screamed.

Fortunately, a few black shadows came over in front, helped both wounded soldiers up, ran north quickly, and quickly crossed the road.

The Japanese behind did not give up and were still chasing them. Bullets kept running around. The soldiers from the two county brigades were shot and went to the ground. The soldiers next to them immediately stepped forward to check. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured and were helped to run away.

Finally, he entered the mountain. The Japanese behind rushed onto the highway. Li Yuan carried a machine gun and shot at the highway. Three or four Japanese who rushed onto the highway fell down. The remaining Japanese lay on the side of the highway and shot fiercely at the muzzle, but did not hit Li Yuan, who had already changed the machine gun position.

The Japanese lay there and didn't dare to go on the road. After they all entered the bush, Li Yuan threw two grenades to the south. Two balls of fire appeared under the moonlight, and a burst of thick smoke was freed. He stopped entangling with the Japanese, and then picked up the machine gun and retreated into the mountains.

When I went to rescue these national soldiers, eight were injured by the county brigade, one was sacrificed, and two of the four national soldiers were injured.

The main reason is that in the dark night, the two sides shoot at each other, and it depends on who has more people, and there is no cover. That is, they fight for firepower and who can fight for it accurately. The Japanese suffered greater casualties. This time, more than ten people died in the pursuit, and only five or six wounded soldiers were related to the weapons of both sides. The 38 gun has a higher accuracy, but its close-range lethality is not as good as the 79 rifle.
