Mortar shells exploded continuously in the village, causing flashes of light and violent tremors, and houses were blown down.

Hu Yi was obviously not in a good mood. He and Wu Shitou were braving indiscriminate Japanese artillery fire, and together with seven or eight soldiers of the Ninth Company, they were busy in the rubble until they heard the voice of Little Hongying coming from the underground through the ventilation holes.

Only then did he let out a long breath.

Hu Yi was even more anxious. What mattered now was time. The Second Company had already infiltrated the security forces. Whether they could break out would depend on Gao Yidao's ability to stir up the wind and ignite fire.

The situation was very bad. Xiao Hongying and Luo Fugui could not find a suitable county for the security forces to join the army. They were unable to sneak into the security forces, so they had to hide in a hole dug in a private house.

The Japanese came with a squadron of reinforcements, and Li Youde also surrounded them. The amount of troops invested by the Japanese completely exceeded Hu Yi's expectations. It seemed that the Japanese were determined to wipe out him, which may be the reason why he attacked the Japanese cavalry squadron.

Lao Qin left with the Qiufeng guerrilla brigade, which had little combat effectiveness. Without Li Youde's troops in the west, it should be safe.

The village is only so big and can't accommodate so many people.

The pit in the house was originally covered with a double door panel and covered with a thick layer of soil, with separate ventilation holes dug. Currently, the people in the pit are okay, but the situation is very bad, and there is no more time to dig them out.

Japanese artillery shells continued to fall in the village. Most of the houses were blown down and there were ruins everywhere. The same was true for this house. An earthen wall that was blown down fell into the house and pressed against the pit.

It was impossible for the two people in the pit to climb out on their own, and someone outside had to rescue them.

"Mule, do you think we will die here?" In the darkness, Xiao Hongying took her time.

"I guess even the King of Hell wouldn't dare to accept you, a wicked person like you. Isn't Boss Hu digging up there? Why are you so anxious?"

"You're so heartless, I told you to go out a long time ago but you didn't listen."

"Isn't it safe here?"

"Afraid of death?"

"The roof fell down earlier, and there were so many beams and tiles. You thought you could lift it. God knows how much soil Mr. Hu put on top, and he also poured down a wall. This door panel was not crushed, so thank God for burning incense."

, Hey, auntie, can you sit on my back and don’t toss me around?”

Wu Shitou was in the next room, digging a hole along the wall. He was digging a hole with a shovel like rain, and one person had already dug it deep. Below was the foundation of the house, which was made of rubble. Wu Shitou's idea was very simple. The company commander was cleaning the ground.

It won't be finished for a while, so he needs help.

The excavated soil was piled in the house. The stones were not big. They came out of the hole one by one and were thrown aside. A soldier nearby moved the stones away.

The sound of digging came from the pit: "We have dug to the next door."

"Company commander, Brother Wu has dug through the wall. He will probably dig through it soon. It's full of dirt below!" The soldier's voice was filled with excitement.

Boom, there was a loud noise, and a shell fell outside the courtyard. In the light of the explosion, Hu Yi found that the wall in the middle of the house was also shaking and became a little crooked.

If the Japanese do not adjust the shooting parameters, the next mortar shell will hit near the impact point of the previous shell, and the house may suffer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Yi had a headache, but he did not hesitate: "Everyone exit the yard and evacuate."

In the yard.

"Li Xiang"

"arrive"

"Lead the brothers to retreat to the northwest and find a way to join the second company. Ma Liang will be in the northwest to support you. Get out immediately!"

The preparation is completed early.

Can you stand out and resign yourself to fate?

It was pitch black inside the pit.

Amidst the explosions one after another, there was the faint sound of digging beside the pit. It must be Wu Shitou.

Xiao Hongying got off the back of the mule that was squatting on the ground. She quickly leaned to the side and put her ear to the wall of the pit. She heard the sound getting closer and closer. After a while, the sound would stop. It should be that the excavated soil was being moved out.

go out.

Hey, even though it's the same black color, a lighter black color still leaks in from the broken hole, and you can barely make out the shadow that is expanding the hole.

Xiao Zhu'er had already squatted in the cave. After sitting for a long time, her feet were numb. She unscrewed the flashlight body, shined it on Wu Shitou's face, and called out softly: "Tou Shitou"

In the darkness, Wu Shitou scratched his head and giggled: "Hehe, girl, hehe."

The mule sitting on the ground, his eyes shining, felt that the fool was so cute for the first time, and thought he would be buried alive. Anyway, it was not the first time.

More than twenty members of the Ninth Company, led by Li Xiang, infiltrated the security forces running around and evacuated the village.

Hu Yi did not leave, but turned around and entered the house. Wu Shitou popped his head out of the hole. When he saw the company commander approaching, he grinned: "Girl, we dug it out."

Hu Zhen hurried over and pulled Wu Shitou out. Following him was Yatou. Hu Yi stretched out his hand and was about to pull the girl out: "Girl, are you okay?".

"Fox, I knew you didn't leave, hahaha," it's not that arrogant.

There was a roar in the sky, and another Japanese mortar shell flew over. The shell landed in the yard outside the house and exploded suddenly. The wall that had been a little skewed slowly fell towards Hu Yi under the violent impact of the shock wave. Hu Yi

Yi didn't notice.

All his attention was on the girl, holding her hand. In the flash of light, he saw the girl's hair covered with dirt and her dark eyes. He heard the explosion and thought it was nothing.

Just as he was about to exert his strength, a voice came from behind. He turned around and saw Wu Shitou next to him swooping over and pushing Hu Yi and Xiao Hongying, who were about to get out of the pit, into the pit.

The wall fell faster and faster. It might be just a second, or it might be a long time. Wu Shitou had seen wells collapse many times. When the wall fell, he could have run out, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Xiao Hongying and Hu Yi, who were about to come out, pushed into the pit.

Boom, the thick earth wall fell down, and Wu Shitou had no time to run anymore. He saw the girl and the company commander falling into the pit, with a smile on their faces, and disappeared into the smoke of the falling wall.

?

Ma Liang was lying on the ground. Before he saw the company commander, the formation of the security forces was already in chaos. A group of security forces were running to the northwest. With the flash of the exploding grenades thrown out, those security forces could be seen from behind.

The soldier's hands were wrapped in a gray-black white towel.

The severe pain in his shoulder left him with almost no strength to hold the gun. He tried to get up to take cover, but failed several times.

The soldiers of the Second Company following him had already launched a charge, targeting the Japs' headquarters, but there were too many Japs. They had already charged twice, but were suppressed by the Japs both times.

Lieutenant Xiao Quan, the leader of the Japanese squadron, is setting up defenses with a cruel smile on his face. This Eighth Route Army actually still has an outer perimeter, and they want to cooperate with each other inside and outside. I will let you go and never come back.

It was obvious that there were not many people in the Eighth Route Army attacking and charging. In his opinion, they didn't even have cannons. They just wanted to attack the Imperial Army's defense line with just a few grenades. They were just looking for death.

Lieutenant Xiao Quan admired the courage of this group of Eighth Route Army. Although the battle in the afternoon caused great losses to his troops, he decided to give these Eighth Route Army the greatest respect.

Order a small group of Japs to launch a countercharge in the direction of the Eighth Route Attack.

"Kill the cock..." Poluo's throat howled like a pig.

Under the leadership of the sergeant, the Japanese infantry rushed towards the attacking Eighth Route Army.

The Japs were not stupid. On the forward charging route, a wave of grenades was thrown from the eight-pronged team. Before the smoke of the explosion had time to dissipate, the charging Japs emerged from the smoke. Their bright bayonets were shining brightly under the occasional flash of explosions.

Shining into an icy offensive line, the troops lined up and quickly pushed towards the eight groups who were also charging, towards the smoke that was spreading.

The two sides were entangled together, constantly dodging, moving, jumping, lunging, stabbing, blocking, blocking, lunging, and falling. The sound of bayonets entering flesh again and again, and the occasional gunshot.

In addition to the technical essentials of stabbing, strength is directly proportional to the number of people.

The number of Japs increased by nearly half. The battlefield situation was obviously unfavorable to the attacking soldiers of the Second Company. There were fewer and fewer soldiers still able to move. The Japs did not immediately kill these. The attacking Chinese were killed. The Japs Sergeant felt that they should be given to these soldiers.

Chinese people are more respectful.

At some point, the Japanese threw firewood from nowhere into the fire burning nearby, and the flickering light kept shining.

More than thirty Japs surrounded the remaining Eight Route Army soldiers. The Japs Sergeant stood behind, grinning ferociously, looking at these Eight Route Route Army soldiers dressed in black. There were six soldiers in the middle, in groups of three, back to back, with guns in their hands.

The bullets are empty and there is no time to reload.

As soon as you take out the magazine, the enemy's rifle will sound, and three soldiers who want to load the magazine have already fallen on the ground.

The soldiers stood up with difficulty. No one knew how many pieces of shrapnel were embedded in their bodies. Maybe they felt no pain at all, but just lacked strength.

There were random gunshots from behind the smoke in the night sky, but they could not see or hear anything clearly. They only knew that they were surrounded by hateful Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Second Company had only one goal in mind, which was to send these Japanese soldiers back to their hometowns.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed through the night, and it was a rifle held by a Japanese soldier, with a bayonet pointed at the soldier's face fiercely at the front!

Facing the cold light of the bayonet, the soldier did not dodge at all. He straightened forward and thrust the bayonet into his chest. The bayonet of the Seventy-nine Rifle stabbed into the enemy's abdomen at the same time. He did not block, but just tried his best to exchange his life. One life was worth one life.

The Japanese around were hesitant.
Chapter completed!
