The first thousand one hundred and sixty-five chapters capsized in the gutter
"Boom! Boom!"
The Japanese cannonballs fell like raindrops, tearing up the turf, causing hot mud to fly everywhere, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke rushed straight into the heart.
Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou and the surviving brothers all knew that if they couldn't rush out after tonight, without food, drink, or ammunition, they would have no choice but to wait for death, so they all took a desperate stance and ran for their lives.
Rush outward.
The Japanese flares kept exploding in the sky, illuminating the night as brightly as day. In the billowing smoke, some of the brothers who were blown away flew high into the sky, and fell into a pile of rotten flesh.
"Brothers, go ahead, don't stop!"
Seeing the brothers around him being blown away one by one and disappearing into the darkness, deputy battalion commander Hua Gou burst into tears. He didn't care to look for their bodies, and could only grit his teeth and continue rushing out with the living brothers.
The little devil saw that Huagou and the others were desperately trying to break through in the northeast direction. They surrounded them from all directions, trying to block Huagou and the others back.
"Da da da da..."
The machine gunners who rushed in front and used machine guns to tear open the breakout path had changed three waves of people in just a few hundred meters of charge. Whenever someone was shot and fell, the brothers behind picked up the machine guns and hung them around their necks to continue charging.
The violent bullets roared in the dark night, and all the little Japanese who blocked the way to break out were beaten to pieces and fell in staggered state.
The brothers rushed to pick up the bullets from the Japanese corpses on the ground. With their fierce rush, they broke out a gap in the Japanese encirclement and the brothers rushed out like a tide.
The main force of the Tanichuan Brigade has been transferred to fight the guerrilla reinforcements, and the only troops left here to surround Huagou and the others are an infantry squadron.
Moreover, this infantry squadron had been disabled in the previous battle, so leaving them to besiege Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou and his companions was also intended to allow them to rest and recuperate.
However, the Japanese soldiers did not expect that Hua Gou and the others would break out of the encirclement desperately in order to survive, and a gap would be opened in the encirclement.
"Pursue, pursue!"
Seeing Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou and the others standing out, the Japs' squadron leader screamed angrily and hurriedly directed the Japs from all directions to pursue them.
The Japanese soldiers were running very fast with their bayonets in hand, but the guerrilla brothers were also running wildly in order to survive. The two sides actually started a running race in the dark.
Although the whizzing bullets kept passing by their ears, the guerrilla brothers did not dare to stop. Once they stopped, they would be overtaken by the swarming little devils.
"Huh...huh..."
The brothers of the guerrillas had not slept a wink since last night. They had fought with all their strength, but now they were on the verge of losing strength. Although they were running hard, their breathing was short of breath.
There were countless beams of light in the darkness behind them. It was the Japanese who were chasing after them with flashlights, and their shrill screams were terrifying.
"Battal Deputy, no, if this continues, sooner or later we will be overtaken and surrounded again!"
They could hear the Japanese chasing behind them getting closer and closer, and there were also Japanese with flashlights on both sides marching parallel to them. The situation of Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou and the others was still serious.
"Run, every one who can run out counts!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou looked at the sparse group of brothers and knew that now they had no ability to go back and fight the Japs, because if they hit them again they would be all gone, so they could only run away now.
"Lieutenant of the Battalion, you run away, I'll stay to fend off the Japanese for a while!"
A brother holding a light machine gun was so tired that he was out of breath. Before he finished speaking, he turned around and faced the direction of the Japanese.
"Come back! Come back!" Seeing this brother's unauthorized actions, deputy battalion commander Hua Gou shouted while trying to drag him back.
"Lieutenant, run quickly, the Japanese are closing in!" The crowd grabbed the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou and pulled him to continue running.
Hua Gou was dragged away by his brothers. Tears streamed down his face as he watched the figure holding the light machine gun disappear into the darkness.
"Da da da......"
Soon, the distinctive crisp sound of a light machine gun sounded behind them, and there were faint screams.
The brother with the machine gun set up the machine gun on a field ridge and began to sweep away the Japs who were chasing after them. Those Japs with flashlights were living targets, and a large area was mopped up at that time.
Faced with the sudden blow, the Japanese were so angry that they made tactical moves to dodge and began to fight back.
However, the rifle could not compete with the powerful machine gun. Instead, it attracted more bullets, causing the Japanese to flee in panic.
"Little devil, come on, eat grandpa's bullets!"
This makeshift machine gunner fired all the bullets in the hopper, clumsily loaded another bullet, and then continued to sweep, beating the little Japs until they howled like ghosts.
Just such a machine gun was so powerful that the little devils who were chasing it along the field ridge had to throw themselves into the muddy water of the paddy fields on both sides.
"Boom!"
But the little devil was not a vegetarian either. After a slight panic, countless bullets were directed at the guerrilla machine gunner who was shooting wildly.
"puff!"
"puff!"
This makeshift machine gunner of the guerrillas was first shot in the shoulder, and then his chest was penetrated by a bullet. A cloud of blood rose up, but he still gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger to discharge all the bullets.
"What the hell..." It wasn't until the machine gun in his hand clicked and all the bullets were fired that the brother, who was covered in blood, fell to the ground unwillingly.
The ashen-faced Japanese soldiers stepped on the muddy water in the paddy fields and rushed forward quickly, stabbing the fallen brothers with their bayonets.
During this delay, Hua Gou and the others ran out several hundred meters away with tears in their eyes and plunged into the darkness.
The pursuit by the Japanese soldiers lasted until noon of the next day, but the little Japanese found nothing. Although the terrain in this area was flat, it was crisscrossed with woods, rivers and fields. If the Japanese wanted to catch the flower dogs and the others who escaped from their sight,
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The little devils have withdrawn."
Hua Gou and more than 20 surviving brothers were actually hiding in a deserted grassland. They had received training in camouflage and lurking to make themselves look like savages, and their concealment effect was very good.
There was a Japanese search team only a few hundred meters away from them. Fortunately, the Japanese search team did not have search dogs, so Hua Gou and the others managed to escape without any danger.
Seeing that there were no Japanese search teams around, Hua Gou and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the ground breathing heavily.
In just one or two days, there were only about 20 people left out of hundreds of brothers in their three combat companies. Almost all officers at all levels were killed. Everyone was in an extremely low mood. This battle was really hard.
It's so miserable.
"Batalion Deputy, what should we do next?"
Now that the Japanese have withdrawn, and they have lost contact with their superiors, everyone is like a kite with its string cut off, becoming confused for a moment.
"First find a place to get some food, and then go to the battalion commander and the others. It would be unkind to not avenge this!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Hua Gou's eyes were red, and he was eager to seek revenge against the Japanese, but he also knew that the twenty or so of them were not enough for the Japanese to fill their teeth. Now they had to survive first, and he would accept no matter what punishment they received when they returned.
