The Japanese cavalry discovered traces of the Chinese army.

The small Japanese army moved as quickly as possible towards the direction where the cavalry was reporting.

The Japanese army captain responsible for the encirclement and interception received a death order from Gangcun. If this unit was not wiped out, he would die.

Therefore, the Japanese captain now has only one goal: to block the Chinese army's retreat, and then surround them and destroy them.

A Japanese brigade started a race with soldiers from this battalion.

Whoever runs faster will survive.

The battalion commander no longer sent troops to the rear, but only sent out soldiers to explore the road.

The little devil's cavalry did not catch up with them, nor did they block them.

"They have been following us for two hours, battalion commander, let us go and eat them?"

The Japanese cavalry were always followed unhurriedly behind them, making them very insecure.

Because their every move was under the observation of the Japanese cavalry.

"Don't look back and keep walking. If we delay for one minute now, we may never be able to escape again."

The battalion commander seemed to have forgotten about the Japanese troops behind him.

In fact, there is nothing you can do if you don't forget it. Every move of the troops is under the surveillance of the Japanese army. Even if they send troops to attack on their own initiative, the Japanese army will not accept the challenge.

Moreover, their two legs could not catch up with the four legs of the Japanese war horses.

The top priority is to evacuate as quickly as possible to an area where cavalry or armored forces can respond, in order to gain a chance of survival.

The speed of the Japanese army was not slow either. The vanguard arrived at the assembly point in trucks to meet the cavalry, and then immediately launched a pursuit.

"Battal Commander, the Japs' infantry has arrived, less than four miles away from us."

A distance of two thousand meters is already a dangerous distance.

"I know!" The expression on the battalion commander's face was very serious.

The Japanese troops behind have gone crazy and will get closer and closer to them.

After the gunfire sounded, their speed became slower and slower, and finally they were dragged to the spot by the Japanese army, unable to move.

"Battal Commander, I will lead our company to stop you. You retreat first!"

The company commander decided to stay and block the Japanese vanguard, giving the larger army more time to escape.

"No, the Japanese cavalry will bypass you and continue to stare at us. Spreading out the troops at this time will only eat the Japanese troops one by one."

The Japanese cavalry will not tangle with them, their purpose is to keep a lookout.

The battalion commander continued to march westward with his troops. The Japanese troops were getting closer and closer. They had already heard the gunshots from the Japanese troops behind them that were exciting or provoking them.

"Battal Commander, we can't run any more. If we keep running, our brothers won't have the strength to fight the Japanese army. Let us stay!"

Marching with heavy loads for a long time will make people collapse from exhaustion.

When the Japanese army caught up, they had no strength to fight and could only be massacred by the Japanese army.

"Send the order, seize the top of the hill 200 meters ahead, and wait for help!"

A bullet flew past my ear. The Japanese army was still a thousand meters away, and the Japanese army had already started to shoot blindly.

In the eyes of the little devils, the Chinese troops they were chasing were like lost dogs. They spared no effort in using bullets, trying to deter the Chinese soldiers from a thousand meters away.

Thousands of meters away, the hit rate was very low, but the Chinese soldiers could already hear the sound of bullets flying around them.

The hilltop 200 meters away was their next target. Although the battalion commander said to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, every soldier was prepared to die on the hilltop.

The top of the mountain was covered with shrubs, and there was no absolute shelter. Only a few isolated rocks could barely serve as shelter.

The ground under their feet was hard, and the soldiers did not carry tools to dig bunkers. The soldiers who had no time to rest smashed the rocks under their feet with stones, and then cleaned up the rubble with their hands.

They didn't want to use bayonets because everyone was prepared to be surrounded.

Without reinforcements and supplies, the bullets will run out, and the bayonet will be their last weapon to kill the enemy.

The soldiers could only use stones and hands to dig bunkers, and soon the soldiers' hands were covered with blood.

The vanguard of the Japs came in pursuit. They didn't rest and launched a charge directly.

At this time, the heavy weapons of the Japanese army were also behind because of the rapid march, and the pursuing Japanese soldiers only had rifles.

But they believed that there was no need for rifles at all. The troops they were chasing had no combat effectiveness at all, and they only needed a charge to capture them.

The Chinese soldiers who had the advantage of the terrain soon showed the Japanese army that even if they were in dire straits, they could beat the little Japanese to pieces.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The remaining soldiers were digging bunkers, and a company of soldiers had already prepared for battle, with full firepower.

The Japanese troops who tried to seize the top of the mountain were quickly suppressed by firepower. After leaving more than twenty corpses behind, they fled back to the mountain road in panic.

"It's so bad!"

A squad leader looked at the little Japanese who escaped and shook his head.

"What's wrong, squad leader?" the soldier was concerned.

"I chose a place to die before I was married," the squad leader said sadly.

"Stop having sweet dreams. If the girl from that family dares to marry you, she won't be able to farm the land, won't be able to do business, and will your wife and children starve to death?"

Despite being in danger, the soldiers were still talking and laughing.

Death is already a painful thing. They have experienced many lives and deaths, but they don't want to be so miserable before they sacrifice themselves.

"Platoon leader, we know how to lead soldiers. If we don't have too many, we will have twelve, a standard class. I promise to lead them like the soldiers in our class." The squad leader said.

"Squad leader, I don't take advantage like you!" the soldier said.

"The little Japanese army has arrived." The platoon leader looked into the distance.

Where the road meets the sky, a puff of smoke rises into the sky.

Japanese trucks towed artillery and carried soldiers, followed by a large number of Japanese infantry heading in their direction.

It won't take long for the Japanese troops to arrive in front of them and then take up their positions.

"Brothers, let me tell you something. If any of you survive and give birth to a baby in the future, let them come here every year on this day. You don't need to bring wine, just a few sticks of incense." said the squad leader.

Will anyone survive? That doesn't seem to be their biggest concern.

The soldiers had already begun to count their ammunition. If they had to hold on, even if they had to hold on until dark, they could still dig out their positions and collect ammunition and food from the corpses of the Japs.

In the headquarters of Gangcun, we finally heard good news today: "The first Chinese army was surrounded by us in Jigong Mountain!"

"Jigong Mountain? It's less than twenty kilometers away from the edge of our defense zone?" Gangcun looked at the map.

This location was too close to Zhao Zhiguo's troops, so Gangcun didn't feel much excitement.

"A large group of troops has surrounded them."

"Let them destroy this Huaxia army as soon as possible, they must eat them at the fastest speed."
