The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, tell us to retreat!"

Just as Liu Zhi, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, was in an inextricable fight with the devils, the communications soldier rushed along the wall and fell down beside Liu Zhi, shouting loudly.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Fifth Battalion Commander Liu Zhi's ears were buzzing from the shock of the grenade explosion just now, and he couldn't hear clearly what the communicator shouted amidst the dense gunfire.

The messenger rushed to the ear of Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, and shouted loudly, "Mr. Yuan told us to retreat from the north gate. The devils have already entered through the east gate."

After hearing what the communications soldier said, Liu Zhi, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, was taken aback for a moment, and then cursed a few words unwillingly.

"First company commander, first company commander!" Fifth Battalion Commander Liu Zhi waved his arm at the first company commander who was lying on the steps and shooting at the devils.

After the first company commander heard the voice, he hurriedly turned around and ran to the side of Liu Zhi of the Fifth Battalion: "Battle Commander, what orders do you have?"

"You take people to cover the battalion headquarters and the wounded to evacuate from the north gate, and I will cover!" Liu Zhi ordered to the first company commander.

"What? Retreat?" The first company commander was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted unwillingly: "Battle commander, why are you about to withdraw? Give me another 10 minutes, and I can suppress the devil!"

"Where is so much nonsense, execute the order!"

"Yes!"

Although the first company commander was very puzzled, facing the stern-faced fifth battalion commander Liu Zhi, he still buried his doubts in his heart.

Soon, the first company commander covered the wounded and the battalion headed towards the north gate, and at this moment Zongzhi had hurried out of the north gate and began to retreat.

Seeing that the troops began to retreat from the north gate, many people knew that Huaiyin could no longer hold on. They packed their luggage one after another, dragged their children and women and rushed towards the north gate, like a mud flow, sweeping the entire road Crowded and packed.

The retreating troops, the wounded and the civilians were mixed together, and fled northward in a noisy and chaotic manner. Panic spread among the crowd, and everyone's faces were full of panic.

When Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, got the order to retreat, and when Zhan Qitui took his brothers back to the location of Zongzhi, he found that the headquarters was empty, and only the documents scattered on the ground were discarded at random. It was obvious that Zongzhi retreated. Very hurried and flustered.

"Damn, it runs faster than a rabbit."

Seeing Yuan Guangtao and others who had already retreated, Zhang Liechen couldn't help cursing.

"Send a few people over to pick up the scattered documents and burn them all, don't leave them to the little devils." Zhang Liechen ordered.

"Yes!"

Some brothers rushed to the headquarters in a hurry to collect and destroy some documents that were too late to take away.

"Daozi, you should send someone to ask. The army is at the back of the palace. Tell them to hold out until dark to cover the evacuation of the people."

"Yes!"

The deputy battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion responded with a knife, and immediately strode out of the general finger and ran up the street.

Soon Daozi came back in a hurry: "Mr. Zhang, the commander-in-chief directly ordered all the troops to evacuate, and did not arrange for the troops in the rear."

"What? There is no army rear?" Hearing this answer, Zhang Liechen was taken aback for a moment, and then an angry look appeared on his face.

"This Yuan Guangtao is dereliction of duty! The people in the staff office are also dereliction of duty!" Zhang Liechen cursed angrily.

It is not obvious in normal times, but now that the situation is chaotic, everyone is trying to escape from the city, who cares about arranging the queen.

"Mr. Zhang, what should we do now?" Dao Zi, the deputy battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, asked.

"Order our people to resist layer by layer along the street and cover the evacuation of people in the city."

"Yes!"

When the situation in Huaiyin City was in a mess due to the hasty evacuation of the General Commander, the devil commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu outside the city also got the news that the defenders in the city had withdrawn from the north gate.

"Yoxi, let the cavalry squadron attack immediately and kill the Chinese!"

The red pines at Yamaguchi did not encircle the entire Huaiyin, but encircled three and one, deliberately leaving a gap in order to disintegrate the will of the defenders in the city to resist.

Because once the entire Huaiyin is surrounded, the defenders in the city will definitely fight to the end, but if there is a way out, if they can't resist, they will definitely evacuate from the only escape route.

And outside the city is an unobstructed flat area, as long as the cavalry cover up and kill, the opponent can suffer heavy losses. I have to say that the devil's commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's calculations are very insidious.

Soon, more than 130 devil cavalry got on their horses one after another, and headed straight to the north of the city with a murderous look.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The gunshots in Huaiyin City shrouded in gunpowder smoke became more intense, and the devils had already realized that the defenders in the city were retreating.

When the commander-in-chief's retreat order reached the battalions, some troops were fighting with the little devils. When they repelled the devils, they suddenly found that all the troops on the left and right wings had withdrawn.

Without the cover of the flanks, it is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that they will be surrounded by devils. These troops after the bloody battle ignored their exhaustion, directly crossed their own positions, and evacuated towards the north of the city.

Naturally, the devils were not fools. Seeing that the guerrillas in front of them were about to run away, they immediately rushed forward with bayonets in their hands.

These blood-stained troops could only run and fight the chasing devils, which inevitably slowed down the retreat.

"Hit! Suppress the devil!"

Faced with the devils chasing troops biting up from behind, these troops had to turn around and fight.

Because they all know very well that it is very dangerous to leave their backs to the enemy on the battlefield. Now without the cover of friendly troops, they can only continue to retreat by repelling the devils chasing troops, otherwise they are in danger of being defeated by the devils .

Panting brothers leaned on ruined walls and street steps and pillars to shoot at the chasing devils. The explosion billowed gunpowder and smoke on the street, blocking sight, and both sides were shooting blindly.

"You outflank the alley!"

"The grenade destroys the firepower of China!"

The devils are like wild wolves with green eyes, biting the retreating guerrilla units and not letting go, and each infantry unit is divided and interspersed, trying to encircle and destroy these retreating guerrilla units.

Bullets were raging on the street, and the two sides fought inextricably. A battalion commander, Blacksmith, personally led a brother from an infantry company to the rear to cover the wounded in the battalion and the rest of the company to evacuate.

"Battalion Commander, the devil is coming from the alley behind!"

When the blacksmith and the others were blocking the devil's pursuers on the street, some brothers discovered the devil's outflanking troops.

"withdraw!"

A battalion commander, a blacksmith, held a light machine gun in his arms and shot long bursts at the devils at the other end of the street. After hitting the ground with a stream of smoke and dust, he turned around and left without delay.

Although the blacksmith and the others retreated very quickly and did not let the devil's outflanking troops succeed, after running two streets away, a series of bullets swept towards them.

"Pfft!"

Several brothers who were running buried in their heads could not dodge in time. The bullets pierced through their bodies and made transparent holes. They fell convulsively on the street full of rubble.

"Dog day, the front is occupied by devils!"
