Sanbao was temporarily relieved of the defense of the mountain pass, but he was still worried about the back of the mountain. Although there were not many Japanese from there, they were difficult to deal with. In addition, what he was most worried about was that the people in the arsenal had not realized the danger and moved as soon as possible.
Sanbao then decided to return to the arsenal, but then he saw Xiaoying coming to the mountain pass carrying a medicine box. "What are you doing here?" Sanbao said worriedly.
"There's a battle going on here, so there are bound to be wounded. I'm a nurse and I'm here to treat the wounded." Xiaoying replied nonchalantly.
"It's very dangerous here." Sanbao reminded.
"Danger? Aren't you here too?" Xiaoying replied: "I'm not afraid, and I want to make meritorious service in battle, so that I can truly apply to join the party."
"Well, be more careful! You have to listen to the words of the Ninth Company Commander here." Sanbao didn't want to delay any more. After a few words of warning, he quickly left with his gun in hand. However, the two of them never expected that this was actually two people.
The last face of a person’s eternal farewell!
Sanbao returned to the arsenal. What he saw in front of him made him even more anxious. Almost everyone in the arsenal remained still. People seemed to be expecting a miracle. Maybe the soldiers could block the Japanese invasion, and then the arsenal could be saved.
"Why don't you retreat!?" Sanbao shouted to the people gathered around him.
Everyone did not speak, but turned their attention to Song Xinmin who was aside, "Director Li, you are the leader here. There is a Japs brigade in Yamaguchi now. The Nine Company alone cannot stop the Japs, and
Japs also appeared behind the mountain, and that group of Japs is even more unusual. We must retreat immediately."
"That's good." Director Li responded immediately when he saw the solemn and anxious look on Sanbao who was sweating profusely.
"Wait a minute," Song Xinmin on the side stopped him and said, "The gunfire in front has stopped now, and there are more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the back. If we wait a little longer, our troops will definitely come to the rescue."
"What do you know!" Sanbao shouted angrily. At this time, he didn't care about anything. "The Japs didn't launch a real attack just to attract our main force, so that they could seize our main force for a decisive battle.
You are deaf, that is a Japanese army!"
"Isn't it just a brigade?" Song Xinmin had no idea what a Japs brigade meant to the base area. At this time, with the Japs' combat capabilities, a brigade could run rampant in the base area.
"Yes, it is a large group, but the Japanese can form a larger encirclement on the outside, and then they can contain them in the middle, and the consequences will be disastrous." Sanbao replied.
"You are just being alarmist. We have just gathered more than a hundred regiments to launch a large-scale battle against the Japanese." Song Xinmin still insisted, and his words made many people feel justified.
Sanbao really couldn't convince them anymore, and the two sides were in a stalemate. At this moment, a series of explosions came from the back mountain, and then, crazy Japanese mortar shelling came from the front of the mountain.
The explosion was the best indication of the battle situation. It was obvious that the Japanese had really launched an attack. "Don't retreat yet!" Sanbao shouted again.
"What about these machines?" Although Song Xinmin was a little flustered, he still insisted: "These hard-earned equipment must be taken away."
"What's more important, people or these machines?" Sanbao just said: "Only by saving our lives can we rebuild the arsenal. Otherwise, nothing can be saved!"
"Everyone listen to Sambo." Director Li finally made up his mind. After he spoke, everyone reluctantly prepared to leave.
Following Sanbao's instructions, everyone came to a cliff on the side of the arsenal. Sanbao had prepared ropes here. "Everyone, climb up. There is a narrow passage above that you can walk out of. I have marked it."
Sanbao explained carefully that he spent several days exploring this in case of unexpected situations.
