In order to lead the soldiers of the Third Battalion to fight out, Zhang Xiwen took the lead in rushing to the front. At this time, the soldiers of the Third Battalion had run out of ammunition and food, and they all rely on the machete in their hands to fight the enemy. The tragic scene was unbearable to witness.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiwen was hit by a few more shots. He swayed and fell to the ground. The blood that flowed out immediately mixed with the mud and water on the ground. The bright red blood extended outwards in the mud and water, and soon formed a light red small pool bay.

He raised his hand with difficulty and pulled out his pistol, shouting to his guards: "Go quickly, I will cover you. If you disobey and don't leave, I will shoot you now."

The guard soldier wiped the blood from his face and knelt in the mud and cried, "Bathman Commander Zhang, you are the battalion commander of the Third Battalion and the head of the underground party of the teaching regiment. I will fight out even if I carry you on my back."

Zhang Xiwen grabbed the hand of the guard and said, "Don't delay me anymore. I can't do it anymore. While I still have some strength, I will cover you and fight out. If you still treat me as your commander and comrade, execute the order and leave quickly."

Under Zhang Xiwen's gun pointing at him, the guard soldier stood up helplessly and left his commander, comrades and comrades-in-arms Zhang Xiwen.

Seeing the alive comrades beside him leave, Zhang Xiwen crawled over and dragged a light machine gun in front of him, sat up suddenly, holding the light machine gun, pulling the trigger, and spraying hot flames to sweep towards the enemy.

Under the cover of Zhang Xiwen shooting the enemy with a machine gun in his arms, the guard soldiers took the opportunity to rush out of the enemy's fire blockade. However, Zhang Xiwen fell to the ground again under the dense bullets shot by the enemy and never stood up again.

More than 600 soldiers from the Third Battalion of the Teaching Regiment, led by Zhang Xiwen, the head of the underground party, started to fight fiercely with the Japanese army, who were in large numbers and small for six hours until ten o'clock in the morning. Only two soldiers survived, one of them was the guard soldier who covered and killed before his death.

More than 600 lives and more than 600 heroes stayed in the depression of Xiyaowen. Xiyaowen was stained red by the blood of the soldiers? The rain kept washing away, but the blood of the martyrs was still so bright red.

Commander Wei wrote tragically in the "The Fourth Army's War of Resistance in Zhongtiaoshan": The enemy brigade broke through our Xiyaowen position? My Zhang Xiwen camp counterattacked the place, fought for the whole night, and all the battalions died for the country, and our main force and artillery were able to transfer safely.

With the loss of Yaowangtai, Yang Shilang's tomb, Jiejia Tomb and Western Yaowen, the Japanese army occupied these very important positions? And ordered the main Japanese troops to surround the middle of Yongji and the Yellow River to encircle it? Yongji City became an isolated city on the battlefield on the Western Front.

In order to block the Japanese main force's siege of Yongji, there is a Hanyang Town between the Japanese occupied positions and the Yellow River? As long as the Japanese army breaks through Hanyang Town, the troops are at the Yongji City? The Yongji City will be destroyed without attacking Yongji City's military and civilians who are trapped outside the city and lose their weapons, ammunition, food, medicine and other military supplies.

At this time, the first regiment of the First Brigade of the West Route Army Police was the one who stood in Yongji City to restrain the enemy? But in fact, only the first and second battalions were held on guard? The third battalion was ordered to stay in Chaoyi, Shaanxi before departure.

The main task of the Third Battalion is to form a line of defense on the banks of the Chaoyi Yellow River? To prevent the Japanese army from occupying Fenglingdu on the east bank of the Yellow River. Once the Japanese army occupy Fenglingdu? Forced crossing of the Yellow River landed at the Chaoyi Port, the Third Battalion must drive the Japanese army who were on the shore down the Yellow River at all costs? The Japanese army must never be allowed to successfully land on the Chaoyi Ferry.

The Yongji Defense Line Defense Battle brought great military force reduction to the Yongji City defenders? Although there is no fierce battle at the city yet? But in the extremely urgent situation of the war in Yaowangtai, Commander Wei of the Western Route Army ordered the 6th Company of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment to provide rapid reinforcements.

In the fierce battle to reinforce Yaowangtai? The 6th Company of the Second Battalion was brutally attacked by the Japanese army's crazy firepower and had no choice but to withdraw from the position? It turned out that there were only 24 soldiers who returned to Yongji City alive, and more than 100 soldiers were all sacrificed in the Battle of Yaowangtai.

Even if the 24 soldiers of the 6th Company of the Second Battalion who withdrew from Yongji were all injured?    There was no way to continue participating in the battle for a short time, so they could only send people to Fengling Ferry?                                                                                             �

At this time, there were only five companies of more than 600 officers and soldiers who were defending Yongji City.

The commander of the 71st Brigade of the Japanese main force, Takeda Ichiji Brigade, stood on a high ground north of Yongji City, holding a telescope and quickly glanced. When he found that more than 2,000 Japanese troops were about to be at the city, he not only laughed arrogantly.

"Tada-kun, you are so excited that you don't know what you saw."

"Ono-kun, Yongji City will soon be surrounded by my great Japanese Imperial Army. As long as you launch an extremely fierce artillery fire, Yongji City in a small area will soon collapse and become a scorched earth in my eyes. When thinking of this situation, shouldn't I be proud to laugh?"

"It should, it should be. Takeda Jun broke through several defensive fronts of the West Route Army on the Yongji Front, the West Route Army in the West Front of the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone. Now he is about to be under Yongji City. As long as Yongji is flattened, we can occupy Fenglingdu, forcibly cross the Yellow River, break through the Tongguan China defense line and approach Xi'an. Hahaha, I feel very excited when I think about it."

"Mr. Ono, you, the chief of staff, have made great contributions to my 71st Brigade, but the purpose of our Great Japanese Imperial Army is not to cross the Yellow River to occupy Xi'an, but to use Xi'an as a springboard to attack Chongqing, the accompanying capital of the National Government, directly pointing to the southwest, and completely occupy this ancient China power. Hahaha, at that time, I will represent the Great Japanese Imperial Army and dominate the princes of this great country."

"I am not only excited when I hear Takeda Jun say this, but if the General can become a prince of this ancient Chinese civilization, I, Ono, will definitely follow him."

Two arrogant island dwarf pigs actually stood on the land where the blood of the sacrificed soldiers in our country were flowing, talking about shameless and arrogant words.

But for Yongji City at this time, life and death are only a matter of time.

Because if more than 600 soldiers with backward weapons and equipment have obviously inconsistent combat power compared to the enemy, they have to face more than 2,000 Japanese troops launching crazy attacks under the cover of heavy fire bombing of aircraft, cannons and tanks. It is simply a very unequal war with only the only rifles and large blades.

General Takeda Hiichisuke, the commander of the 71st Brigade of the Japanese Army, readily accepted the deployment of the Chief of Staff Ono to attack Yongji, and ordered the troops to focus on the offensive focus from the East Gate, break through Yongji City from east to west, and break through Yongji City within two hours. After occupying Yongji City, he would take a day off to rest and rest the troops.

Zhang Jianping, the commander of the First Regiment of the First Guard Brigade, who was standing in Yongji City, stood at the regiment command post and said to the battalion commander below the deputy commander who attended the meeting: "Dear brothers, my First Regiment is now facing an extraordinary moment when the Japanese army siege heavily."

After saying this, he paused and glanced at everyone present and continued: "We have only five companies of more than 600 officers and soldiers in the city guarding force. If we want to defend Yongji City, we need to be determined to live and die with the city. Are you afraid?"

The second battalion commander Deng Xiangyun stood up and said firmly: "Room, I live for China, I die for China! Even if I fight to the last war, I will never be a deserter. On behalf of the second battalion brothers, I volunteered to defend the East City Gate."
