The 31st Division passed through the swamp area and soon came to a relatively flat area.

Standing on the roadside and checking the terrain, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Chief of Staff, what do you think if we ambush the little devils here?"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "What? Master? What time has it been, and you still want to continue to ambush the Japanese!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Aren't the Japs clinging to us and refusing to let go? Why don't we play with the Japs again! I've observed carefully, there are thick trees all around here, and there is a piece of grass in the middle, without any obstruction or obstruction.

, if we lay an ambush around us, we will definitely make the little devil doubt his life!"

The chief of staff shouted: "The terrain here is good, but our troops are exhausted. How can we continue to fight?"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "We are defending our country. Chief of Staff, there is a chance to fight back against the Japs, why not? The terrain here is so good, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of it!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Okay! But this matter still needs to be reported to Mr. Sun for approval!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "There is too little time. I will report the situation to Mr. Sun after this battle is over!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Master! You...you want to kill first and then report later?"

With a slight smile, Liang Shanhao raised his voice and shouted: "Correspondent!"

A correspondent ran towards Liang Shanhao: "Master! What's the order?"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Order the troops to stop advancing!"

The signal soldier shouted in response: "Yes!"

Liang Shanhao shouted again: "And call all regiment and battalion-level officers over for a meeting!"

After agreeing, the communications troop conveyed Liang Shanhao's order to all units.

After a while, several regiment and battalion level officers came to Liang Shanhao.

After scanning a circle of regimental and battalion-level officers, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Everyone, if I decide to set up a pocket formation in this area to ambush the little Japs, do you have the courage?"

Several regimental and battalion-level officers discussed among themselves, and immediately responded one after another!

"Teacher! We will do whatever you tell us to do? We will never have any objections!"

"Master! Tell me, how to fight?"

"It's great if you can beat up little devils!"

"Yes, if we ambush the little devil again, I can still capture a Type 92 heavy machine gun!"

"Let's fight! Brothers, you won't even frown!"

Pressing down with both hands, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Good! Very good, worthy of being a soldier of my 31st Division, every one of them is howling!"

After a pause, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Now I will assign specific combat tasks. Based on the situation of each regiment, I decided that the company will be the combat unit for this combat mission, and the entire 31st Division will be divided into nine companies, each of which will be responsible for one company.

Defense zone!”

"Now the specific division of defense zones is left to the chief of staff!"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Deploy three companies each on the left and right positions to outflank the Japanese soldiers from the sides. These two positions are evenly divided between the 182nd Regiment and the 183rd Regiment. The central position is guarded by the reinforcement battalion and another one!"

After scanning a circle of regimental and battalion-level officers again, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Do you understand everything?"

All the officers responded in unison: "I understand!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Deploy your position immediately!"

The officers responded: "Yes!"

Liang Shanhao shouted to the reconnaissance platoon again: "Reconnaissance platoon leader, your people have set up a cordon of 200 meters. If any Japanese are found, report to me immediately!"

Raising his head towards Liangshan Haoyi, the reconnaissance platoon leader shouted: "Yes!"

…

In Xitang Town, there was a loud sound of gunfire.

The soldiers of the 7th Independent Brigade were fighting fiercely with two Japanese regiments.

A Maxim heavy machine gun kept spitting fiery snakes at the Japanese soldiers!

Da da da!

The dense stream of bullets rushed towards the Japanese soldiers like leeches after autumn.

In an instant, seven or eight little devils were beaten into a sieve.

But more little devils continued to attack.

At this time, the main gunner of the machine gun fired desperately, but after a while, he found that the bullet chain was empty!

The main gunner shouted: "Quick! Load the bullets!"

After calling several times, the main gunner received no response.

It wasn't until the main shooter of the machine gun looked to the side that he discovered that there was a blood hole on the forehead of the deputy shooter.

With red eyes, the main shooter of the machine gun silently loaded the ammunition chain.

As soon as the ammunition chain was attached, three grenades were already whizzing towards the main shooter's position of the machine gun!

Whoosh!

Rumble, rumble!

In an instant, the Maxim heavy machine gun was blown to pieces.

Almost at the same time, the main shooter of the machine gun was blown beyond recognition by shrapnel from the grenade.

The heavy machine gun's firepower point was knocked out by the Japanese soldiers' grenade, and the Japanese infantry attacked more and more crazily!

The defensive pressure on the Independent 7th Brigade became increasingly intense.

It is estimated that the entire blocking front will collapse in less than half an hour!

He raised his hand and shot down a Japanese military commander. Brigadier Han shouted at the top of his voice: "Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff! Have all the folks evacuated?"

He ran over with his waist stooped, and the chief of staff shouted: "Bridge! There are still some people in the town who have not evacuated!"

After replacing another magazine, Brigadier Han shouted: "Chief of Staff, tell the people to hold on tight, we can only hold on for twenty minutes at most!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Brigade! Why don't you take the people and evacuate first? My brothers and I will stay to hold off the little Japs for a while!"

Crossing the Dezao 20 in his hand, he opened a fan, and Brigadier Han shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, when have you ever seen me abandon my brothers and run away!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Master! You are the commander of the 7th Independent Brigade. If the army is gone, it will still be there as long as you are in the army. If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, then the 7th Independent Brigade will really be doomed!"

"

A Japanese soldier's brain was split open with one shot. Brigadier Han yelled with a grin: "Chief of Staff! I will never abandon the troops. Wherever the troops are, I, the brigade commander, should be there!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Master!"

After replacing the magazine again, Brigadier Han shouted: "Stop talking, quickly organize the people to evacuate. If there is a common person who doesn't evacuate, I will take care of you!"

Gritting his teeth hard, the chief of staff replied: "Yes!"

Not long after the Chief of Staff left, the blocking defense line of the 7th Independent Brigade was in danger of being breached by the Japanese!

Picking up a rifle made in Hanyang, the Korean brigade commander raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone has it! Put on the bayonet!"

Hearing this, more than a hundred soldiers of the 7th Independent Brigade fixed their bayonets one after another!

Suddenly thrusting his bayonet, Brigadier Han shouted: "Kill!!!"

The next moment, Brigadier Han took the lead and provoked a Japanese soldier.

The other soldiers rushed forward with shining bayonets and started hand-to-hand combat with the little devil!

For a time, the city wall position of Xitang Town was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Due to the large number of Japs and their excellent stabbing skills, the Independent 7th Brigade was gradually defeated by the Japs.

Brigadier Han was also seriously injured after provoking several Japanese.

At this time, the people were finally safely transferred!
Chapter completed!
