Chapter 196: Kill out of the siege (7)

"Kill the warriors, rush up and kill all the Chinese." The lower-level officers of the devils at the foot of the mountain waved their commanding swords desperately and urged the soldiers to rush up the mountain.

"Brothers, fight! We have earned enough money to kill these for me. I will take a few more people to take care of them. Never let these people rush up." Guard battalion commander Mao Benhao yelled with his red eyes.

In addition to not being equipped with M2 heavy machine guns and 60 mortars, the Guard Battalion, like the Special Service Battalion, is also equipped with American equipment. Browning light machine gun, Thomson submachine gun, and Galand rifle sounded on the hill.

At this time, Chen Xiuwen led the two Rongyi Division's two most powerful troops, namely the Special Service Battalion and the Guard Battalion, to Yangshan between General Mountain and Moling Pass. However, the 113th Regiment of the Sixth Division, which had been chasing the breaking troops from Yuhuatai, was tightly attached to the guards like a shitty plaster, which was unable to escape quickly.

"The division seat is not good. About a gang's Japanese soldiers rushed to Moling Pass from the flanks and had already had anger with the Rong San Regiment." The battalion commander of the special agent battalion Peng Hui ran up to report to Chen Xiuwen.

Chen Xiuwen was shocked when he heard this news. Originally, the Neon Army had only one squadron in Moling Pass. When the teaching corps broke through, the defenders of Moling Pass were quickly eliminated. Now the large army, including the final retreat supplementary first and second regiments and the fourth regiment of the Third Brigade of the Teaching Corps, have also left Moling Pass, leaving only the Rong San Regiment, who had the least relative losses, in Moling Pass, responsible for the special service camp and guard battalion behind the hall.

Because the guard battalion was dragged tightly by the Japanese behind, the 128th Brigade, which was responsible for flanking blocking, drew a wing to penetrate from the flank to Moling Pass, attempting to surround the elite unit of the Chinese national team behind the hall.

"Map." Chen Xiuwen shouted quickly.

Adjutant Ma Congping quickly took out the map from his bag and expanded it on the ground.

"Send a report to Rong San Regiment immediately, asking them to give up Moling Pass and retreat immediately." After carefully looking at the map for a while, Chen Xiuwen decisively said to the order.

"Give up Moling Pass? Master's seat, was our retreat cut off by the Japanese soon? Then we were surrounded by all." Peng Hui said in a hurry.

"We will not be able to get to Moling Pass for a while now. Even if we arrive, a gang of Japanese soldiers has already grabbed us in front of us. If there is a sudden outbreak, there will be a lot of casualties. We ordered Rong San Regiment to abandon Moling Pass, and we will move to Huanggu Mountain and Yuntai Mountain, and retreat from there along the west bank of Shijiu Lake to Gaochun. Most of this area is mountainous. If the Japanese behind us dare to catch up, we will have fun with him." At the end, Chen Xiuwen snorted coldly.

The casualties of the guard battalion in charge of the rear guard were already quite high. The special agent battalion also had nearly two platoons of reduced personnel. Fighting positions with the Japanese, it would not take advantage of them. Withdrawing into the mountainous areas to engage in mountainous wars and close combat, not only the strengths of the special agent battalion and the guard battalion, but also like street fighting, it can greatly exert the effect of automatic weapons.

The telegraph soldier immediately shook his hand-crank generator and sent a message to Rong San Regiment. Chen Xiuwen stood up and ordered Peng Hui: "Carry the cannon company of your special agent battalion over, concentrate firepower to repel the Japanese behind me, and the entire army breaks out to Huanggu Mountain and Yuntai Mountain."

"yes."

"Dong, dong, dong" The shells fired by four sixty mortars were quickly smashing into the crowd of Japanese charging towards the attacking hills.

"Boom boom boom" Several balls of fire rose, and black and red flames rolled on the hillside. The god of death showed a hideous smile among the Japanese crowd. Countless broken skins were like sickles in the hands of the god of death, cutting groups of Japanese devils into flesh and blood, and the broken limbs and arms danced in the air.

"Dadada..." At this time, the four trench m2 aimed at the Japanese who were running around and splashed bullets. The 12.7 mm bullet made the Japanese unable to dodge. After more than a hundred Japanese who rushed in the front fell, the Japanese who charged finally began to retreat to the bottom of the mountain.

"Secret Services Camp suddenly, retreat!" With Chen Xiuwen's order, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion quickly carried the injured brothers behind the secret service camp, followed behind the special service camp, and retreated towards Huanggu Mountain in the southwest.

"Bageya Road, cunning Chinese." After a fire, the First Third Regiment finally rushed to the top of Yangshan Mountain, but apart from the shells on the ground, there was no one there. After chasing from Yuhuatai, hundreds of people were killed or killed, but they still couldn't catch up. Okamoto Saoyu couldn't help but curse.

"Captain of the regiment, the Chinese army has fled southwest." The captain of the first brigade who rushed to the top of the mountain, Hirohiko Hirosa, ran over to report.

"Ni?" Okamoto's silenced and quickly ordered: "Map."

Although Colonel Okamoto, who was fifty years old, had just transferred from the reserve to the 6th Division and took over as the captain of the 113th Regiment, he was actually a top student in the 21st Phase of the Japanese Non-Commissioner School and was older than any captain of the 6th Division. However, after the 226th Mutiny, he was implicated and transferred to the reserve. If he had been on the front line, he might have been promoted to general.

"Yoxi, the Chinese army wanted to break through from the southwest mountainous area along the west bank of Shijiu Lake towards Gaochun." It must be said that Okamoto's ability is quite outstanding. After carefully checking the map, he accurately judged the intention of the Chinese national team that had just evacuated.

"Order the entire army and pursue it quickly." Okamoto ordered.

"The captain of the corps, the terrain of the southwest mountainous area is complex, and our army is advancing alone, so it may..."

"Baga, do you want to let these Chinese soldiers go?" Before Shishi Hehiko had been persuaded with a worried look on his face, Okamoto Yoshinobu interrupted Shishi's words and shouted sternly.

"Hayi." Shi Shi was startled and quickly stood attentively.

Okamoto Yoshinori glanced at his old subordinate who was sympathetic to him. He Hirohiko, who graduated from the 26th term of the non-commissioned school, was also implicated in the 226th mutiny and transferred to the reserve service. Many of his classmates are now the corps captains, but he is still a captain.

Okamoto was reluctant to scold him, and relaxed his breath and said, "Tenshijun, we all know that the main force of the Chinese army withdrawn from Nanjing City has retreated smoothly. However, the part we are pursuing is the troops of the Honorary First Division of the Chinese army. This is a unit that brought us great shame to the Great Japanese Empire. They are equipped with a large number of automatic weapons. I dare to conclude that this must be a main force of the Honorary First Division, their elite troops. We must chase after them, eliminate them, and wash away our shame."

"Hay. Our first team is willing to be the striker of the wing and chase the Chinese army." When Yoshihiko heard what Okamoto said, he was ashamed and ashamed and immediately volunteered.

"Yoxi, Shishijun, you didn't disappoint me, it was you who was back then. I ordered you to attack immediately." Okamoto Nobuyuki nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Xiuwen led the secret service battalion and the guard battalion to break through the defense line of the 128th Brigade on the flank and plunged into this mountainous area at the junction of Anhui and Jiangsu.

"Master, these Japanese are really hiding in dispersed and are catching up again. Do you want to give them some?" Peng Hui ran up from behind and reported.

Due to the heavy casualties of the guard battalion, Peng Hui personally led a company of the special agent battalion as the rear guard. Until they retreated into the mountainous area, the Japanese behind still caught up with him regardless of the consequences.

"The Japanese troops chasing behind are not weak in combat effectiveness. I ordered the troops to speed up and get rid of the Japanese behind them as soon as possible." Chen Xiuwen said with a frown.

Originally, Chen Xiuwen planned to catch up with the Japanese behind and use the terrain of the mountain to fight them. However, after contacting the division headquarters that had already been safely retreated to Gaochun, Chen Xiuwen learned that the 18th Division, which was advancing east from Wuhu, had captured Ma'anshan. The mountainous area in this area was only fifty or sixty kilometers away from Ma'anshan on the map. If the Japanese in Ma'anshan reinforcements come, it will be even more difficult to break through. So Chen Xiuwen gave up his original plan and tried to get rid of the Japanese behind as quickly as possible and move to Gaochun.

"Company Commander, there is something in front." Just as the Second Company of the Special Service Battalion was opening the way forward as a vanguard, a soldier from the vanguard squad hurried back and reported to the company commander Tang Cheng.

"What's the situation?" Tang Cheng's heart tightened. It was not far from the highway from Ma'anshan to Nanjing. The Neon Army was likely to appear in this area.

"There seems to be a lot of people in the valley ahead."

"Stop moving forward and hide." Tang Cheng quickly ordered, and then took a platoon with the vanguards to reconnaissance.

The valley in front was the only way for the troops to advance. They slowly approached the valley. Sure enough, there were people. After listening carefully, Tang Cheng couldn't help but frown, not like the neon army, but also the sounds of women and children. Climbing up the mountain and looking down, Tang Cheng was shocked. The valley was full of ordinary people, old people, women, and children.

Chen Xiuwen frowned and looked at the group of old and young people, men and women in the valley. Tang Cheng, who was standing beside him, also reported with a bitter face: "Most of them were evacuated from Nanjing, and some of them escaped from Ma'anshan. It is said that they ran into the valley when they met Japanese devils on the road."

"Take them with you." Chen Xiuwen pondered and ordered.

"This... the master's seat, the Japanese are right behind us. I took them with me. I couldn't walk fast at all and I would be caught up with the Japanese soon. And there were so many people who had been identified, and who would know if there would be Japanese spies in it?" Peng Hui said quickly as soon as he heard this.

"It's too late to identify. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take them with you. There is only a dead end to keep them here, and we led the Japanese here. Let them walk with the guard battalion and try to help them go quickly." Chen Xiuwen glared at Peng Hui and said.

I already knew that it was this result. Peng Hui had to stand attentively. It was not that he didn't want to care about these ordinary people, but he had to consider the safety of the troops and the division commanders. What was chasing closely behind was the entire regiment of the Japanese.

Just as the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion urged these ordinary people to follow them, Chen Xiuwen asked Chen Yi to call the guard battalion commander Mao Benhao over.

"Let the brothers help carry their luggage and support the elderly. In addition, find a few smart brothers and secretly pay attention to their every move."

"Yes." Mao Benhao knew what the master meant and stood up with a serious look on his face.

Although the brothers from the guard camp helped carry luggage for these ordinary people, the older brothers even carried them on their backs. The speed of the march inevitably slowed down. In the evening, the rear guard troops led by Peng Hui had already handed over the Japanese vanguard troops.

"Secretary, this is not possible. Now the Japanese are trying to entangle us, and then detour from the flank to the front of us, surrounding us." Peng Hui was very anxious. The secret battalion, which was in the rear guard mission, not only had to block the pursuit of the Neon Army, but also had to prevent them from detouring from the flank. Not only was the defense line very wide, but the secret battalion had another casualties.

Covered with a raincoat, Chen Xiuwen carefully checked the map. Since he bypassed Moling Pass and Lishui and detoured to the west bank of Shijiu Lake, this retreat route was much further than the original retreat route of the large army. One was to walk on the bowstring, and they were now walking on the bowback. Moreover, this area was all mountainous areas, and the road was very difficult to walk on. In a day, less than half of the road had been walked.

"Look, our current location is in the hinterland of Yuntai Mountain. Let's go south. I guess we can reach Xinbo Town by Shijiu Lake at noon tomorrow. I have ordered Rong Yi Group to arrive in Xinbo Town before noon tomorrow to pick us up. Our current location is Jilong Mountain further south. I plan to ambush the Japanese behind there, and then find a way to lead them to the southwest." Chen Xiuwen pointed to the map and said to Peng Hui and Mao Benhao.

"I think it's OK. Master, you will take the guard battalion to protect the common people all the way south. My special agent battalion is responsible for ambushing the Japanese and then leading them away." Peng Hui nodded and said.

Chen Xiuwen glanced at Peng Hui who couldn't wait to take the task on him, and smiled slightly, "Well, it's not too late. Benhao, you lead the guard battalion to protect the people and quickly move to Xinbo Town. Pay attention to hurry up and tell those people that as long as they arrive in Xinbo Town, it will be safe. Peng Hui, you and I are responsible for ambushing and luring the Japanese away."

When he heard that Chen Xiuwen was going to lead the special agent camp to ambush and lead the devils away, Peng Hui and Mao Benhao immediately said anxiously: "Master, you can't..."

"Okay, stop talking, just settle down. Get ready to start taking action immediately. I have Chen Yi and others around me, and there is no danger. You both heard the words of Huang Daren, Zhou Suping and others in the early morning. I don't want to repeat them with you again." Chen Xiuwen turned off the flashlight and said decisively.

Jilong Mountain is a small hill in Yuntai Mountain. Chen Xiuwen led the secret service camp to hide on the hill, and the Japanese who were chasing him closely behind had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
