The motorboat coming from the river was actually a medium-sized wooden boat with engine propellers.

But there was a circle of sandbags on the bow of the ship as a bunker, and a Japanese patrol boat with crooked machine guns was placed on it.

Hu Yi did not take the patrol boat to heart.

But I always feel something is wrong!

Because the Japanese plane has not appeared yet.

Mancang came out of the artillery tower and trotted all the way to the heavy machine gun position set up on the river bank.

Then pull the elastic belt and continuously push and pull the bolt.

Proficiently press the trigger.

Bangbang...bangbangbang...

The Min-24th machine gun began to howl dullly.

The whistling trajectory rushed straight to the Japanese motorboat in the center of the river from the slanted front shore.

After the ballistics caused a few splashes in the river, they began to tear the Japanese motorboats.

Before he could come, the Japanese machine gunner who was shooting on the bridge was shocked and subconsciously fought back on the shore.

Tuttu...A machine gun was shot at the helmet by a heavy machine gun bullet after firing at three points.

The ballistics of the heavy machine gun continued to swing left and right like a poisonous snake, and bullet holes instantly appeared on the wooden hull.

Pull from left to right and then to left, crushing everything on the motorboat.

After a stream of white smoke emerged from the wooden boat, the engine stopped screaming.

Mancang lifted the rear foot and turned the machine gun barrel toward the west bank of the river.

Lift the muzzle and shoot again.

The machine gun ballistic instantly faced the Iron Tortoise of the Japanese who were shooting wildly on the road.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was more than 500 meters, and they could not aim effectively, and they could only rely on experience to shoot.

The distance was too far, and the bullets could not penetrate the twenty-four millimeters of armor on the front of the Iron Tortoise, but the running bullets suppressed the Japanese infantry behind them.

Gong Shaofeng was stunned for a moment and immediately ordered the soldiers lying on the ground: "A squad of blocking, the enemy cannot be approached... others retreat immediately!"

More than twenty figures spread out among the fields and ran eastward.

There were too many Japanese soldiers, and one of the squads left to fight and block the attack did not last until half a minute, and all fell to the ground.

The squad leader gasped with a bloody smell. He didn't know how many bullets he had hit from the Japanese infantry.

It hurt so much that he wanted to pull the grenade that was tied to his little finger, and he had no strength to fight to die with the enemy.

He was hit by two bullets again, and he watched the Japanese rushing towards him.

He really didn't have the strength to pull the fuse that had already been unplugged the back cover.

Next to him is a soldier whose arms are broken.

He pushed the ground with his feet with difficulty, slid to the side of the squad leader, opened his mouth and bit the wooden handle of the grenade that fell on the squad leader's hand, and his body flipped...

Puff, a bullet hit the warrior's head.

In the sun, the blue and white smoke coming out from the wooden handle of the grenade was almost invisible by blood.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

boom...

Two Japanese soldiers who were erecting bayonets to finish the attack on the corpse on the ground were stabbed into their bodies by shrapnel.

Gong Shaofeng, who had a bloody arm, led more than ten soldiers to the stone bridge and finally rushed to Minister Liu: "Report to the Chief..."

Seeing at least two hundred bodies of Eighth Route Army soldiers left on the road across the river, Minister Liu was in a grief and angry and waved his hand: "Bandage first!"

Gong Shaofeng was anxious: "This is a conspiracy of the Japanese... We have to retreat quickly..."

Minister Liu shook his head: "Now...can't run anymore!"

Gong Shaofeng was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"You have run for such a long distance. If you continue running, you will all sacrifice before you reach the green gauze account..."

Gong Shaofeng had no bad combat experience, so he immediately figured it out: "I understand. The Japanese made the sorghum land close to the river and let the people grow into small pieces. They just waited for us to get in and they caught up and surrounded them one by one!"

Minister Liu nodded: "So, we have to send away the wounded and the soldiers with poor physical strength..."

Alas, how did they dig fortifications on the back of the river embankment...

At first, I didn’t understand it. I heard from the soldiers of the Ninth Camp that theirs are called reverse inclined fortifications, which are specially used to prevent Japanese artillery bombardment!

"Anti-aircraft attack?" Gong Shaofeng was stunned for a moment. The Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese, basically fighting guerrilla warfare, and almost never attacked and defended positions.

He had never heard of such a tactic. He didn't care about the torn pain on his arm and immediately became interested.

The heavy machine gun stopped shooting after a bullet link...

The warehouse asked someone to pull the heavy machine gun into the hole dug early after lifting it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will definitely launch artillery bombardment on heavy machine gun positions.

...

The east-west river embankments are sixty or seventy meters apart.

Because it rarely rains, the river is not wide, only more than twenty meters away.

The exposed riverbed is covered with weeds.

The Japanese did not last long.

Scattered gunfires in the wheat fields in Hexi are still coming one after another.

The Japanese lined up and stabbed the Eighth Route Army on the ground again with a bayonet.

The battle seems to be over.

The traitors of the puppet city defense forces, police forces and detective teams following behind looked at the Eighth Route Army all over the place and couldn't help but shivered from the bottom of their hearts.

They have not experienced such scenarios.

Those who were dressed in patched people's clothes on the ground were once their compatriots.

The rabbit dies and the fox is just sad...

The Eighth Route Army seized the Wangjia Fort stronghold in advance, for the pursuing Japanese soldiers.

Not good news.

To continue chasing, you must first cross the river.

Two 92 infantry cannons were unloaded from behind the armored chariot.

More than ten mortars followed in the Mili line.

The stone on the stone bridge was pried halfway by the Eighth Route Army. Obviously, the chariot troops could no longer cross the river.

The remaining twelve Warring States vehicles immediately followed the West River embankment and quickly moved southward.

Boom... Boom...

The smoke rolled on the stone bridge.

I watched the stone bridge blown out two holes...

Then, two teams of Japanese engineers carried the bridge materials.

He rushed to a location more than 100 meters upstream and downstream of the stone bridge, and planned to build a floating bridge.

Another team of Japanese soldiers carried long trunks and wooden boards behind the Hexi embankment, intending to quickly land at the broken arch bridge after the battle began.

...

A new round of offense is about to begin.

Amid the shouts of the company commanders of the puppet city defense force, more and more figures flashed out in the fields.

After crossing the river this time, the Eighth Route Army will probably hide in the sorghum, telling them that the encirclement and suppression at that time was the deadly moment.

The commander of the pseudo-city defense army squatted in the ditch behind, looking at the map in a fake manner...

The battalion commander of his subordinate asked: "Commander, these Eighth Route Army obviously have crossed the river, why don't they escape?"

"Escape? Haha, where can he escape?"

"The Eighth Route Army ran east into the Qingsha Pavilion. Can we still catch up?"

"Haha, running away is selling his back to his opponent. Besides, do you think that with the physical strength of the Eighth Route Army, they have run so far from the mass grave here, can he still run over the Imperial Army?"

"I understand, so the Eighth Route Army fought and blocked the other side of the river!" The pseudo battalion commander suddenly realized: "What if the Imperial Army asked us to rush to the stone bridge later?"

The commander of the pseudo-city defense glanced at his subordinates: "The stone bridge is just a little wide. Isn't it normal for brothers to lose their feet and fall into the water?"

"Hehe, it's still Commander Gao Jian..."

Rumble...

The sound of Japanese fighter jets finally sounded in the sky.
