In order to buy enough time for the main force to attack Xinzhuang, they carried out layer-by-layer attacks.

Tiedan is already very experienced in blocking aid. Many times, Zhang Yunfei feels more at ease when he leaves the task to him, and only he will fulfill the tasks assigned by Zhang Yunfei with all his heart.

The reason for blocking reinforcements is usually to impress them with less, and they do dirty work. When rewards are given based on merit, it is always the main attacking troops who take the limelight.

But the role they played was extremely huge. Without their dedication and sacrifice, there would be no glorious victory on the frontal battlefield.

The Special Agent Company and the Training Team are in the current New Ninth Regiment. Because there was no expansion of troops before, they have become the units with the highest proportion of veterans in the entire regiment. Most of the soldiers have been on the battlefield.

Their fighting will was quite tenacious. Even though the Japanese and puppet troops launched crazy attacks at all costs, the positions they were stationed in were plowed over and over again by Japanese firepower.

The simple defensive position was destroyed by Japanese grenades, but the blocking force only relied on a few light machine guns, two grenades, and a large number of grenades temporarily allocated to them by Zhang Yunfei.

On the ruins-like position, they desperately blocked the Japanese and puppet troops' attack. When all the soldiers were beaten, the squad and platoon leader stepped forward.

The combatants were all exhausted, and the lightly wounded carried the severely wounded on their backs. When the lightly wounded were exhausted, the remaining seriously wounded fired grenades and rolled down the slope of the hillside on the position, fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops rushing up.

perish together.

When you run out of bullets, you fight with the enemy with a bayonet. When the bayonet breaks, you use everything available around you to fight the enemy in a bloody battle.

Every fighting group was trying their best to hold on to their positions. The Japanese and puppet troops in front of them paid a heavy price for almost every step forward.

Even though the Japanese and puppet troops were far more powerful than Tiedan and his defenders, facing such losses, I was afraid from the bottom of my heart that these Eighth Route Army soldiers really didn't want their lives, and they would have nothing to lose even if they died.

This is a game of faith and will. If the disadvantaged supporting force wants to block the Japanese and puppet attacks, they can only risk everything, resist one by one, and continuously shrink their defensive positions.

Such a brutal battle, not to mention the Japanese were frightened, even Ma Damao was a little scared, and at the same time his blood couldn't help but surge up. The brave man wins when they meet on a narrow road. He also feels that this is the real battle. This is how a hot-blooded man should be, and the enemy

No matter how strong you are, you cannot be cowardly. At worst, you will still be a good man in eighteen years.

"It's time for us to go!" Tiedan said in his usual calm tone after repelling another round of Japanese and puppet attacks.

"Ah!" Ma Da Mao, who was so excited, couldn't react for a moment.

"Ah, what? Hurry up and retreat now. If you don't retreat, you won't be able to leave. Do you want to die here?" Tiedan ignored him after saying this, and the soldiers who stood their ground quickly retreated.

Ma Damao, who was in a bit of a serious situation, could not react in his mind, but he was not slow at all in executing the order. He hurriedly followed Tiedan to evacuate without missing a step.

"Aren't we going to defend? Just let the enemy pass by?" asked Ma Damao, who followed Tiedan's retreat.

"Why are you guarding? Don't you have ears? Haven't you heard the gunfire over at Xinzhuang?" Tiedan was very dissatisfied with the confused Ma Damao.

"..."

Next time, who is saying that Tiedan is a lunatic? He must fight with him desperately. The flesh and blood are worn out on the same battlefield, and both sides of the fierce battle are red-eyed.

Who has time to pay attention to the battlefield in the distance, and the gunshots and explosions on the battlefield. How did he hear the noise in the distance in such a noisy battlefield? What a liar.

Although Ma Damao thought Tie Dan's reason was nonsense, he still believed in the judgment of Tie Dan, a veteran.

This guy can't die even if he fights so hard on the battlefield. He still has two brushes. He's right.

Regarding the evacuation of Tiedan and others, the Japanese and puppet troops were also a little confused. They couldn't react for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.

This gang of eight was determined to fight to the death, it was not a bluff, it was a truly life-threatening style of play, but the next moment, they were like rabbits, running away so fast that no one could react.

Tiedan fought resolutely and retreated decisively without any delay. They quickly broke away from the Japanese and puppet troops before the enemy even realized what happened.

When the Japanese and puppet troops reacted and began to change from a positional attack to a pursuit formation, all eight groups were already far away.

This group of Japanese and puppet troops could only withdraw their troops and prepare to go to Xinzhuang for reinforcements, but now their hearts began to sink. The gunfire over Xinzhuang had stopped for some reason.

No wonder the group of people who blocked them withdrew. It turned out that they had completed their mission. Look at this posture, Xinzhuang is in danger...

When Uno Yuanliang received the information that Xinzhuang had been lost, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would attack him.

Although Huaide is in the same area as the other three counties, and there are signs of Eighth Route activity in the northwest periphery, he is really not worried that the Eighth Route will develop in the same direction as Huaide.

Huaide is different from the other three counties in that it mainly has hilly and plain terrain. The terrain is relatively flat and is not very suitable for developing forces.

This is not to say that the Eighth Route Army will not establish base areas in the plains to develop its forces. The North China Plain is also dotted with Eighth Route Army base areas.

But everything has laws and principles. In the plains, the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to build its so-called base area in the plains.

In fact, the danger was also very high, and the imperial army's raids on the North China Plain achieved remarkable results.

And since they are in a mountainous area, the Eighth Route Army has many choices. Naturally, they will not be foolish enough to build their stronghold in a basin plain like Huaide instead of giving up on safer mountainous areas.

Uno Yuanliang was indeed a member of the Eighth Route Army. In fact, among the surrounding counties, Huaide had the best security, and Zhang Yunfei and others had indeed avoided Huaide.

Zhu Guolang's Qingnan detachment would rather go through Huaide and develop farther southeast than stay here in Huaide.

In other words, the connection between Zhang Yunfei's New Ninth Regiment and Zhu Guolang's Qingnan Detachment was separated by Huaide.

It is conceivable that Huaide is not a place where large-scale anti-Japanese armed activities took place.

This time the First Army raided the Taihang and Taiyue areas. Although Uno Yuanliang also received a notification from his superiors to assist in the blockade.

However, Huaide is the outermost layer of the entire blockade. It can also be seen that Huaide is not included in this coordinated blockade system.

Huaide's superior geographical location and developed transportation lines were not suitable for the Eighth Route Army to hide. He was very confident that his Huaide was a truly safe public security area, and he could just live his own life behind closed doors.
