Dense bullets were whizzing back and forth. On the high ground, Saburo Akikuma kept urging his subordinates to increase firepower to fight back with an anxious look, because the Chinese tanks below the high ground had already caught up and were using their almost terrifying rapid fire cannons.

High-shelf machine guns fired at the high ground to suppress them.

The Imperial Army warriors who had just retreated to the high ground were suppressed by the dense bullets and could hardly raise their heads. Some Japanese bombardiers seemed to throw grenades, but at the cost of being hit by the dense rain of bullets on their wrists or exposed upper body, they were transformed on the spot.

He became a disabled person, lying in the bunker and howling like a slaughtered pig.

Seeing that the armed mining truck and the Type 95 tank driven by Zhao Daquan were about to break through the Japanese army's blockade and rush to the high ground, Yi Zhenhua's eyelids jumped for no reason. Subconsciously, he felt that danger was approaching.

At this moment, a vague roar sounded in vain from behind. Yi Zhenhua hurriedly looked back and saw a group of black dots in the distant sky approaching rapidly. As the distance approached, the harsh engine roar gradually gradually

clear.

Screaming bad, Yi Zhenhua immediately gave the order to retreat. The four armed mining vehicles and tanks retreated at full speed. When they reached the road under the high ground, they turned around quickly and ran towards Qiongzhong without looking back.

And go.

About seven Japanese planes spotted the "Chinese Tank" troops who suddenly turned around and tried to escape, and immediately swooped towards them with a roar.

It turned out that when the commander of the Japanese Fifth Fleet, Nobutake Kondo, received an urgent request for help from Iida Shoji, the Fifth Fleet's aviation force took off from Sanya Port to carry out air strikes in the Qiongzhong area.

Kondo Nobutake immediately ordered these aviation forces to change their combat objectives and provide emergency air support to the critical situation of the Qiu Xiong Brigade.

Seeing his own aviation force arriving, Major Akikuma slumped down on the high ground in relief. He did not issue an order to pursue the opportunity. Saburo Akikuma, who had seen the garrison's armed mining trucks, knew that he would use infantry to pursue him.

They are tantamount to death.

Moreover, with the aviation troops present, they, who have already suffered heavy losses, should seize the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.

Since there were only four armed mining vehicles and eight anti-aircraft machine guns this time, and they had to cover the Type 95 Japanese tank driven by Zhao Daquan, who was not equipped with aviation weapons, plus the previous battle, the garrison camp had to wait for the expedition this time.

There is not much ammunition left.

Therefore, the power of Yi Zhenhua's anti-aircraft weapons was greatly reduced this time, and they were unable to effectively suppress and threaten Japanese aircraft.

However, the armed mining vehicle weighs more than 20 tons and has thick defensive armor. Although it was swept and bombed by Japanese aircraft, it was still safe and sound. The Type 95 tank driven by Zhao Daquan, although it had the thickest defensive armor, was still safe.

It is only 16 millimeters, but it is light in weight. The whole car only weighs about seven tons. The speed on the road reaches more than 40 kilometers per hour. With its strong maneuverability, it can finally escape without any danger.

After a round of raids and bombings by the Japanese army.

The Japanese machine was in hot pursuit, and Yi Zhenhua and his mining truck were in frequent dangers. Seeing that they were about to reach the woods where the Japanese tank troops had been ambushed, Yi Zhenhua's eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quick!

Everyone, get into the woods, quickly! Ahead at full speed!”

The Type 95 chariot driven by Zhao Daquan was the fastest and rushed into the woods at the front. Yi Zhenhua and his four mining trucks followed closely behind, and they all also got into the woods, chasing after them.

The Japanese pilots quickly pulled up, then dived back angrily, bombing aimlessly at the dense woods. Finally, seeing that the fuel was about to reach the warning position for return, they had no choice but to lower their heads and return.

……………………

"What? The Chinese have only four new tanks?" In the Haikou Japanese Army Headquarters, Shoji Iida stood up suddenly in surprise after hearing the report from the communications unit.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, our aviation forces pursued them until they fled into the forest. Including a captured Type 95 tank, they only had five tanks in total. When the aviation units swooped in to pursue them, it was really hard to see

Absolutely, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!” The communications soldier nodded and confirmed.

"So, there were only four Chinese tanks that ambushed Kobayashi's tank squadron? The four Chinese tanks wiped out the armored force of twelve imperial tanks? And one was captured?!" Shoji Iida

His face was full of disbelief, and he murmured to himself with an uncertain expression.

Suddenly he raised his head and roared angrily: "Immediately send electricity to the base camp, tell the Chinese people that they have equipped a batch of new tanks that are completely superior to the imperial army, report the entire process of Xiaolin Squadron's ambush to the base camp, and ask the base camp for absolute support."

Attention!"

After saying that, Iida Shoji opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and said with a choked voice: "Please ask the Special High School Section to find out all the information about the armored units of the China Army, including all the personal information about their commander. I want this person to be found out."

Shattered into thousands of pieces!!!"

………………………………

After narrowly escaping the pursuit and bombing of Japanese planes, Yi Zhenhua quickly led Zhao Daquan and the others out of the woods and quickly withdrew towards Qiongzhong. With insufficient ammunition, they were no longer able to turn around and kill the Qiu Xiong Brigade with a single carbine. Now,

The top priority is to return to Wuzhishan base as soon as possible to replenish ammunition.

On the way to retreat, Yi Zhenhua was secretly thinking that today he almost died heroically under the bombing of Japanese planes. After a while of fear, it also prompted him to formulate a strong air defense force and air force as soon as possible.

In modern warfare, air superiority is still very important, especially in Hainan, a strategic island surrounded by seas. If there is no powerful air force that can compete with the Japanese navy and air force, then there will be no future wars.

For example, the armored assault force organized by myself with mining trucks suddenly appeared as a dark horse and caught the Japanese by surprise. And in the future, once the Japanese army was prepared, it might not be so easy to achieve today's results.

Therefore, we have to return to the base quickly. My mother’s mining truck has been brought out by myself, and the development of the base has also fallen behind. We must go back as soon as possible and develop at full speed. We must first manage the defense of Wuzhishan like an iron barrel, otherwise we will continue to

It would be dangerous to come down.

However, Yi Zhenhua was not completely fruitless this time. He not only saved tens of thousands of people in Qiongzhong City, but also won the hearts and minds of the people. He also obtained an official designation for his army, and also obtained Li Shufeng and Hu Bai.

Yang and other remnants of the 11th Security Regiment for their support.

It will be of great help to my future expansion of the army.

Half an hour later, Yi Zhenhua led his men back to Qiongzhong City, which had almost been evacuated. At this time, all the people in Qiongzhong City had left the city and were heading towards Qiongzhong City under the cover of the 11th Security Regiment.

Evacuate in the direction of Wuzhishan.

However, the people were dragging their families with them, carrying a large amount of daily necessities and property, and their marching speed could not be any slower.

Yi Zhenhua, who was worried that the Japanese army would catch up in the rear, had no choice but to promise to be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all the people after arriving at Wuzhishan, and to compensate them for the property they lost during the retreat. Only then did he coax the people to throw away everything they could, pack lightly and travel quickly.

Retreat southward.

Even so, the retreat speed of the common people was still very slow in Yi Zhenhua's opinion, because most of them were old, weak, women and children who had not received military training and could not adapt to the army's rapid march. They were not halfway there yet.

However, many women and children could no longer walk.

Helpless, Yi Zhenhua had no choice but to order all the soldiers to get out of the car, and let all military trucks and armed mining trucks pick up the women, elderly and children who could not walk.

Taking the lead in walking among the crowd, and looking back and forth at the endless evacuation troops, Yi Zhenhua finally realized the hardship of Uncle Liu Huang leading hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate.

After all, I still have a four-wheeled car, and I don’t have hundreds of thousands of people, and the distance is short, less than fifty kilometers, but it is already so troublesome. It is not difficult to imagine what Uncle Liu Huang did more than two thousand years ago.

Hundreds of thousands of people, old and young, were left to retreat.

Uncle Liu Huang wants people's hearts, and so does Yi Zhenhua. Even if he is not trying to win people's hearts, as a conscientious and bloody Chinese, how can he be willing to abandon tens of thousands of his compatriots and run for his life alone?

Because it was not Cao Ah Man who was chasing them at this time, and this war was not an internal war of the Chinese nation, but a defensive war against foreign invasion. Soldiers often shouted the slogan "defend the home and the country, and die without regrets." Now these tens of thousands

Aren't the old, weak, women, children, brothers and sisters the ones we need to protect as soldiers?

Seeing that it was less than ten kilometers away from Wuzhishan, Yi Zhenhua finally felt relieved. As long as he entered the mountain, the Japanese soldiers behind him would never be able to do anything to him.

Because Yi Zhenhua has already made preparations for the defense of the base.

But things went wrong. Just when Yi Zhenhua was thinking about how to strengthen the defense capabilities of the base, Li Shufeng hurried over from the front with a guard. Before he reached him, he panted and said to Yi Zhenhua:

"Sir, sorry, our scouts discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese army five kilometers ahead."

"What? There are Japs five kilometers away?" Yi Zhenhua was shocked when he heard this and immediately asked: "How many people are there and how are their weapons and equipment?"

"The number of troops is about five to six hundred, equipped with heavy weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and artillery!" Li Shufeng answered truthfully.

"Do the Japanese have tanks or armored vehicles?" Yi Zhenhua asked anxiously.

Li Shufeng shook his head and said: "The tanks and armored vehicles were not discovered!"

"Oh! That's good." Yi Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. In Li Shufeng's eyes, the Japs' heavy machine guns and mortars were probably considered heavy weapons, but in Yi Zhenhua's eyes, those so-called

The heavy weapons are unable to deal with the thick-skinned armed mining vehicles. However, our ammunition is not very abundant now. If we encounter the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, we will probably be in trouble.

No matter how powerful the mining truck is, it can't just drive it into the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, right?

As long as the Japs don't have tanks and armored vehicles, the situation isn't too bad. The only thing that makes Yi Zhenhua a little uneasy is that the Japanese army of five or six hundred people must be the vanguard of the Japs, so how many follow-up troops are there behind them?

, Yi Zhenhua has no idea where he is now.

At this time, Yi Zhenhua was even more eager to have an air force. With an air force, he could detect and grasp the enemy's movements in a timely manner so that he could respond in advance.

If the follow-up troops of the Japanese Army have not yet reached Wuzhishan, then he still has time to repel the five to six hundred Japanese troops in front and cover the people entering the mountain from the northern foot of Wuzhishan.

But if the follow-up troops of the Japanese army are not far from their leading troops, the situation will be dire.

"No matter what, we must concentrate all our forces to attack the Japanese army proactively to cover the people entering the mountains from the northern foothills!" Yi Zhenhua secretly made up his mind.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Li Shufeng looked at Yi Zhenhua who was silent and urged urgently.

"Camp Commander Li, please go and notify Commander Hu. You two will immediately bring people together to gather all the young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. I have something to say to them!" Yi Zhenhua raised his head.

He quickly gave instructions to Li Shufeng.

"Oh, okay!" Seeing Yi Zhenhua's firm attitude, Li Shufeng gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask, nodded, and left quickly with the guards.

About ten minutes later, more than a thousand young adults, more than 400 remnants of the 11th Security Regiment, and more than 90 officers and soldiers from the garrison, all gathered on the road in front of the crowd.

At this time, the common people had been notified to stop advancing. Thousands of common people in front gathered around curiously. They did not know that they were about to fall into the danger of being attacked by the Japanese army from both sides. Seeing Yi Zhenhua suddenly gathered most of them

Young people, out of curiosity, naturally want to watch.

Facing thousands of doubtful eyes, Yi Zhenhua stood on the roof of a mining truck, his eyes burning like a torch, and he glanced back and forth at the young adults and soldiers present twice before finally speaking loudly with his slightly hoarse voice.

: "Brothers and comrades-in-arms, I have gathered you together in a hurry, not because I am addicted to officialdom and want to lecture you, but I want to tell you something very unfortunate!"

Yi Zhenhua gave in, paused and continued: "We are surrounded by Japanese soldiers!"

"ah?!!"
To be continued...
