Chen Sichuan saw Lin Fan shoot Fei Cai to death with one shot.

Only then did he understand: what does "you know" mean!

It means you give me an inch, I'll give you a mile. You block my path, I'll take your life.

The company commander's simple and rough way of doing things, the habit of speaking with a gun at every turn, has never changed.

The veteran soldiers of the special company present immediately remembered when they first met Lin Fan, he was also like this.

Xiao Dongbei took his men to E'shan Fort, where they were not blocked.

The Japanese had not yet attacked this place, but the officers and soldiers on the fort were clearly preparing to retreat.

When Xiao Dongbei and the others went up the mountain, they didn't encounter any checks at all.

As soon as Xiao Dongbei entered the fort, he had to immediately command a squad to set up heavy machine guns outside the fort and prepare for defense before going in.

Bao Yang, the commander of the fort, frowned as he listened to Xiao Dongbei's intentions.

He also looked at the order handwritten by Commander Xu Kang in Xiao Dongbei's hand.

Pointing to the entire fort, he said, "The ammunition depot is over there, and the cannons are here.

Apart from the damaged cannons, there is only one cannon that can be used now.

Take it apart yourselves."

In a few simple words, he introduced the situation here.

Bao Yang immediately led his officers and soldiers along another road and quickly walked out of the fort.

When the soldiers of the special company saw the cannons, they were a little dumbfounded.

Four cannons in this fort had already been destroyed by exploding in the previous battles.

The remaining cannon was like a tiger trying to bite a hedgehog for Xiao Dongbei and the others; they didn't know where to start.

Xiao Dongbei and the others were familiar with the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and they could also operate the Type 92 infantry gun, but now they knew absolutely nothing about the cannons on the fort.

The fort soldiers had all retreated, and with only Xiao Dongbei and his men, there was no way to completely dismantle them.

Now he could only let his soldiers blow up these cannons.

Learning from the example at Junshan Fort, they dragged away the gun barrels and left.

As for the things in the warehouse, they would take them all away, whether they were useful or not.

Take them all away. This fort also had three cars, which were good things.

Xiao Dongbei's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, finally cracked a smile: this wave was not a loss after all.

While the special company soldiers were busy at various forts.

The retreat of the 112th Division also began: the two regiments of the 336th Brigade guarding the county seat: the 671st Regiment and the 672nd Regiment.

They had made preparations for the retreat long ago and had several retreat routes in advance.

They received the retreat order from the division headquarters at 4:00 AM.

At 3:50 AM, Wan Yi, the commander of the 672nd Regiment, who was ordered to withdraw his troops from Nanzha back to Jiangyin City, was still guarding the Jiangyin city wall.

It was 4:00 AM when he ordered the entire regiment to abandon their positions and move to Huangtiangang Wharf.

Li Yuchun, the acting chief of staff, ordered the 336th Brigade stationed in the county seat to leave the city through the east gate.

He chose to believe that the special company could defeat the Japanese on the east side after leaving the city.

After talking with Lin Fan, Regiment Commander Wan Yi had been sending five soldiers from each company along the retreat route twice a day for the past few days.

The 672nd Regiment had more than one retreat plan.

If they encountered an ambush during the retreat, they would immediately change their retreat route.

The entire retreat of the 672nd Regiment was rapid and orderly.

Upon receiving the order from Acting Chief of Staff Li Yuchun, Regiment Commander Wan immediately led his troops out of the east gate of Jiangyin and then marched north.

Acting Chief of Staff Li Yuchun led the headquarters of the 112th Division, following behind the 672nd Regiment.

Behind the division headquarters, the 671st Regiment was bringing up the rear.

These two regiments protected the headquarters of the 112th Division and retreated all the way to Zhenjiang without any surprises.

Among the two regiments of the 334th Brigade, the 667th Regiment was originally stationed at Huashan and Dingshan positions.

They had been fighting back and forth with the Japanese for the past few days, suffering heavy casualties.

When they received the retreat order, the entire regiment, led by Regiment Commander Fang Shuhong, broke through towards Huangtiangang.

After these days of fighting, the entire 667th Regiment had dwindled from more than 1,300 soldiers at the beginning.

To only more than 360 soldiers tonight.

Regiment Commander Fang Shuhong commanded his troops to break through Chenpinong, west of Huashan.

Kobayashi Eishi's squadron had just passed through Huashan this evening and came down from Huashan.

They were stationed at Chenpinong, and they happened to encounter the 667th Regiment that was breaking through.

The entire squadron immediately entered combat readiness, and as soon as the two sides engaged, Squadron Leader Kobayashi Eishi sent a signal soldier.

To request assistance from the Japanese stationed on Huashan in the immediate vicinity.

Fang Shuhong led his regiment of 360 men to charge towards the Japanese in front.

Their path forward was blocked by two Japanese machine guns.

They simply couldn't break through.

Pointing to the two machine gun fire points in front, Fang Shuhong's eyes turned red: "Li Xiuzhu, take the guard platoon up there.

Blow up those two fire points!"

"Yes!" Li Xiuzhu turned around and shouted, "Guard platoon! Follow me."

Fang Shuhong ordered Guang Yongwang: "Aim at them for me and suppress the Japanese machine guns.

Brothers, suppress the Japanese machine guns.

Cover Squad Leader Li and the others."

The soldiers of Kobayashi Eishi's squadron also woke up from the panic when they first encountered this force.

Their soldiers began to deploy along Chenpinong.

On the basis of the previous two machine gun fire points, two more machine guns climbed onto the roof.

Firing down on Wan Xiuzhu and the others who were charging forward.

The daredevils organized by the soldiers of the 667th Regiment were hit before they could get close to the two Japanese machine gun positions.

The inside of Jiangyin County in the rear was already noisy.

After the 112th Division retreated, the Japanese had already entered Jiangyin City.

Now the 667th Regiment could not retreat.

After about fifteen minutes of entanglement, the 667th Regiment paid the price of more than forty casualties and finally blew up the Japanese machine gun positions.

The Japanese troops who rushed over from the Huashan position had already launched an attack on them.

Countless flares rose, illuminating the area completely.

The entire 667th Regiment was surrounded by the Japanese.

Regiment Commander Fang had no choice but to command the soldiers to establish a defensive position.

Their defensive positions could not be sustained in the face of the Japanese infantry guns that were dragged over.

That night, the last 360 officers and soldiers of the 667th Regiment all died heroically.

They fell in Chenpinong!

When Lin Fan led more than 200 artillerymen from Xishan Fort to the artillery position of the special company.

All the soldiers of the special company had returned, and Commander Xu Kang had also sent a retreat order: the special company did not need to counterattack anymore and directly broke through.

Now the entire special company had obtained a total of eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns from the eight forts.

Four German-imported 150mm howitzers, and four other 150mm cannons.

Thirty-three various vehicles, and more than 370 soldiers were gathered.

Upon receiving the order not to continue here.

Lin Fan immediately ordered Feng Junya to drag all the prepared cannons out of the position and prepare to set off.

He also ordered Xiao Dongbei to send the 20 cavalrymen of the special company towards Junshan.

Chen Sichuan and Liu Laopao led the first and second squads to open the way in front.

The third and fourth squads followed, but the four squads did not need to rush too fast, advance two kilometers and defend in place.

Continue to advance after the follow-up troops catch up.

Lin Fan assigned Hui Jianming as the temporary commander of the more than 300 newly recruited soldiers and 33 vehicles.

He led these people, following behind the third and fourth squads.

Hui Jianming personally saw the twelve Type 88 150mm howitzers of the special company.

This was much more than the cannons in his fort.

There were also two infantry guns and mortars equipped in each squad of the special company.

After Lin Fan issued the order, these soldiers immediately took action.

Those heavy Type 88 howitzers were quickly dragged out of the position by these soldiers' rapid movements.

Lower the gun barrel and fix the gun body.

These soldiers cooperated with each other, and the state that originally took an hour to transform.

These soldiers had already done it in half an hour.

Such soldiers, such skilled movements, and they said they were not professional?

Hui Jianming simply didn't want to believe it.

He, a dignified major battalion commander, was now suddenly demoted to a squad leader.

However, there were quite a few soldiers under his command, more than 300.

Hui Jianming was, after all, a person who had served as a fort commander, and he immediately arranged for these more than 300 people and more than 30 vehicles.

At this time, it was not over yet, and the special company transferred ten heavy machine guns from these vehicles.

And thoughtfully installed them.

Zhen Danxiao asked, "Can you use them?"

Hui Jianming immediately said, "Yes! We have machine gunners."

He looked at the wooden strips nailed to the car: "Are these wooden strips always fixed on the car?"

"No! It's just that when marching, if you encounter the enemy, fire immediately.

It's too late today, so just make do with it." Zhen Danxiao explained.

In fact, many of these heavy machine guns were withdrawn from various forts.

The special company also distributed the machine guns and rifles seized from Xiagang, Wangjiacun, and Liujiacun today to these newly joined soldiers.

Zhen Danxiao said with a smile: "If you take our guns, you are our people.

Fight the Japanese well, and you will have a good life."

According to Lin Fan's requirements, every car in these newly joined special company convoys must have a heavy machine gun.

If not, there must be two light machine guns, and these guns need to be loaded with bullets and ready to fire at any time.

Looking at the special company's armed-to-the-teeth appearance, Hui Jianming suddenly believed that this team could take the cannons of the entire fort out.

Now was the darkest time before dawn.

The special company did not set off immediately, and Lin Fan was still waiting for the reconnaissance team that had been sent out to report back.

Now that there was some time, Lin Fan ordered: "Everyone in the company, seize the time to eat some dry food, today is a forced march that can start at any time.

The Japanese along the way are all our targets.

Now everyone eat breakfast first."

What Hui Jianming and the soldiers of the newly established ninth squad did not expect was that the dry food distributed by this company was actually biscuits and canned beef.

These were all good things!

Several soldiers wanted to hide the distributed canned beef.

When the soldiers of the special company saw it, they all laughed: "Brother! Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, there won't be any next time.

In our company, if you finish one, you will get another one.

If you don't eat it, it will never be distributed again."

"Why?" some soldiers asked, not understanding.

"Our company commander said: the soldier's ability to eat dry food is combat power, and a soldier who can't even eat a meal is definitely not a good soldier."

Some fort soldiers laughed: "I am the legendary big eater, and I can eat the amount of three people alone.

Give me two more cans."

The soldier who had just popularized knowledge looked at him enviously: "Then you are lucky.

It's a pity that I can't eat much." After saying that, he threw away the canned beef he had just finished eating.

He took out another can of beef, opened it, and began to eat.

Those soldiers who had secretly hidden the canned beef, seeing this, all took it out and began to eat.

The time waited until 6:30, and the sky was slightly white.

Lin Fan gave an order: "Depart!"

Five soldiers riding warhorses rushed forward quickly.

The third and fourth squads also began to move out.

This time, the fifth squad marched in the middle of the team, as a reserve team, and the sixth and seventh squads were bringing up the rear.

The two tanks of the special company had been assigned to the first squad as pioneers.

The first squad was responsible for building bridges and reconnaissance terrain, and choosing roads.

Although the special company had walked the road of this retreat several times, no one knew what changes had taken place in the past two days.

Now the road that the special company was taking was the road that had been taken last night.

The Reito Chiaki Detachment cooperated with the 116th Regiment of the 103rd Division to completely occupy Dingshan, and also captured the strategic Jin Tong Bridge.

Regiment Commander Rinkeyo, leading his regiment, fought continuously for one night.

Not only did he not feel tired, but he felt unprecedentedly energetic.

Last time, the Reito Detachment was severely damaged, the regimental commander retired, and he was able to take over.

This time, it was said to cooperate with the 116th Regiment in the attack.

In fact, most of the efforts were made by his regiment. This was not surprising, after all, the soldiers of his regiment were all from Taiwan, and they were originally many levels lower than the soldiers of the 116th Regiment.

Last night, the National Army completely collapsed, and the soldiers of the Rinkeyo Regiment attacked everywhere, intercepting those National Army soldiers who were trying to escape everywhere.

The results were brilliant, and more than 100 National Army soldiers had been captured.

Just as he was complacent and commanding his troops to rush towards Xiao Shan Fort.

Two imperial tanks suddenly drilled out in front, and a string of imperial vehicles followed behind the tanks.

"Whose team is this? Have they already captured Xiao Shan so quickly?" Regiment Commander Rinkeyo was very puzzled.

The team on the opposite side was obviously an imperial soldier, right!

Chen Sichuan looked at the Japanese guarding Jin Tong Bridge and ordered, "Continue to advance! Open fire when you get close."

The two tanks in front continued to drive over Jin Tong Bridge and into the Japanese ranks.

Hatto Shuntai stopped in front of the first tank, constantly waving to signal the tank to stop.

Regiment Commander Rinkeyo had something to ask.

What stunned all the Japanese happened was that the tank directly knocked Hatto Shuntai down and crushed him under the tracks.

At the same time, the tank's top cover opened, and the machine guns on the tank sprayed fire.

The tank behind also opened the top cover, and the machine guns on it frantically strafed the soldiers of the Rinkeyo Regiment.

On the convoy following behind the two tanks, some were shooting from the vehicles.

Some of the heavy machine guns on the vehicles had been pushed down.

At least ten heavy machine guns were strafing the soldiers of the Rinkeyo Regiment who were guarding here.

Chen Sichuan commanded his soldiers to focus on blocking the periphery, he did not want to let a single Japanese escape.

Obviously, his efforts were impossible to achieve.

The Rinkeyo Regiment, which was suddenly attacked, immediately exploded under such an attack.

This was originally not the entire regiment of more than 4,000 Japanese.

In fact, there was only one Japanese battalion here, and these soldiers were suppressed by unprecedentedly fierce attacks.

The two tanks in the front continued to advance, and they were resisting the sporadic Japanese counterattacks in front.

Following behind them were ten self-made armored vehicles of the special company.

After that was the convoy.

The soldiers of Chen Sichuan's squad attacked forward in a fan shape.

The second squad behind them was not idle either: they had to clean up the battlefield.

The special company's light weapons were all seized from the Japanese, and now was the time to replenish weapons and ammunition.

The Quanshan Kensuke Battalion under the Rinkeyo Regiment, under the fierce attack of Chen Sichuan's squad, did not last for five minutes before they scattered like birds and beasts.

Both Regiment Commander Rinkeyo and Battalion Commander Quanshan Kensuke retreated in panic.

They kept retreating, not daring to look back.

In fact, Chen Sichuan and the others did not chase very far.

After the Quanshan Kensuke Battalion withdrew from Jin Tong Bridge, the special company's team began to drive along the road towards Jiangyin County.

Chen Sichuan knew from the news reported by the cavalry who had been sent out to reconnaissance that Jiangyin County had been occupied by the Japanese.

There were still sporadic gun battles in the city, the west gate was still open, and there were no Japanese on the city wall.

But Japanese were entering the city from the west gate.

"Never mind! Charge!" Chen Sichuan ordered.

He and Liu Laopao were in charge of the vanguard for the entire special company.

In this situation, there were Japanese everywhere in the entire Jiangyin defense area.

After a discussion between the two squad leaders: the vanguard team, let's do a disguise! With an order from the two squad leaders, the two squads of the special company, a team of more than 300 people, were all disguised as Japanese.

Now Chen Sichuan wanted to rush into Jiangyin City as soon as possible. Jiangyin County was definitely the first major obstacle they had to pass on this journey north.

If they did not go from Jiangyin County, there were too many places on other retreat routes that needed to be repaired.

This would greatly slow down the retreat of the entire company.

The special company had a final backup plan, which was to rush directly to Wuxi City along the Xi-Cheng Highway.

Lin Fan was betting that the main force of the Japanese had now quickly gathered towards Nanjing, and the rear was empty.

And they had gathered so many troops in Jiangyin. If the road to the north was not open.

The special company would only have to take this road.

Of course, it was not the time to make this choice yet. Chen Sichuan was actually still thinking about taking the Xi-Cheng Highway, in which case, the entire Japanese Central China Army would probably have to reorganize its layout.

For now, Chen Sichuan could only dream about this.

Right now, let's focus on breaking into Jiangyin City.

From Jin Tong Bridge to the west gate of Jiangyin County, it was only 3,000 meters.

The two tanks of the vanguard had only spent less than ten minutes to rush into the city.

It was still the same style as before, closing the top cover and rushing straight forward.

This time, it was different from Jin Tong Bridge.

Chen Sichuan, Liu Laopao, and the soldiers of their two squads had entered the city and were already mixed in with the Japanese.

Not a single Japanese suspected it.

Both squads were very familiar with Jiangyin County.

With their current strength, it was impossible to completely occupy all the strategic high ground in Jiangyin City.

But the first squad occupied the east gate and the second squad occupied the west gate, occupying these two places.

The third and fourth squads following behind had already appeared in the line of sight of Liu Laopao's squad.

It was not just Liu Laopao and the others who discovered Jia Shusheng and Xiao Dongbei and their two squads.

There was also a squadron of the 26th Regiment of the 103rd Division of the Japanese who was entering the city from the west gate.

In Kaho Kohta’s squadron, a soldier turned around and saw an armed convoy coming from the south.

The soldiers on the convoy were all dressed as the National Army.

Takanata Minoru was so scared that he couldn't even speak when he saw the National Army team driving towards him.

He just reached out and grabbed Toda Yamayusuke beside him, muttering hoarsely.

The other hand pointed to the rear of their team.

Toda Yamayusuke impatiently pushed him away, scolding, "If you don't want to enter the city to make a fortune, don't block my way."

But he finally turned around and glanced.

That one glance made him never turn his head again.

Jia Shusheng's third squad had already opened fire with the machine guns mounted on the front of the car.

The crisp gunshots, accompanied by the roar of the car, rushed straight into Jiangyin West City.

The dense gunfire did not cause any reaction from the Japanese soldiers who were searching for the remnants of the National Army in the city.

They only thought that it was a National Army search team encountering them.

It wasn't that these Japanese soldiers were careless, it was just that they were busy with their own business: their searching for the National Army soldiers was fake, and their looting the wealth of the people in Jiangyin County was real.

At this time, it was just after the city was broken, and the first team to loot could of course find more valuable things.

Liu Laopao and the others also cooperated with the gunfire on the city wall.

The third and fourth squads did not stay in West City at all, and these two quickly went to the south and north city gates.

They were going to block the city gates on both sides.

Hui Jianming and the more than 300 officers and soldiers he led, following behind these two squads, looked at the special company soldiers in front of them.

They easily rushed into the city, and the road into the city was full of fallen Japanese.

The weapons and ammunition on these Japanese soldiers were all gone.

These artillery brothers looked at each other: "Are the Japanese so easy to fight?"

Their team drove directly to the middle of Jiangyin County.

When they arrived in the middle of the county, they received an order from the front: "Stop advancing!"

This was Chen Sichuan's order.

The first squad at the east gate had just cleared a lot of Japanese.

If no team took over their defense line, the first squad would not be able to continue to open the way forward.

The fifth squad following behind Hui Jianming and the others had already started clearing up in Jiangyin County at this time.

They pushed their homemade armored vehicles along the familiar streets, searching and advancing all the way.

Those Japanese soldiers who were still dreaming of making a fortune in the city suddenly encountered such powerful firepower.

They were instantly knocked down.

The special company's team now not only pushed heavy machine guns, but also dragged Type 92 infantry guns.

For those particularly stubborn strongholds, they used Type 92 infantry guns to bombard them. Anyway, if one cannon couldn't take it down, they would fire another cannon.

In this city, there was nothing that could not be solved by Type 92 infantry guns.

If it really couldn't be solved.

The soldiers of the fifth squad could also bypass it from another street and bombard them from behind.

Following behind the fifth squad was the direct unit of the special company, that is, the heavy artillery squad.

After entering the city, seeing that they could not move forward for the time being.

They immediately joined the work of clearing the Japanese in the city.

The sixth and seventh squads also entered the city.

The seventh squad immediately took over the defense line of West City. The sixth squad also organized manpower to take over Chen Sichuan's squad.

The soldiers of the direct squad joined the team clearing out the remaining Japanese in the city, and the progress was very rapid.

After all, the four squads at the four city gates could control the nearby areas.

They had cleared the areas near the city gates, and there were not many areas left for the fifth squad and the heavy artillery squad to clean up.

While clearing the Japanese, the special company also rescued more than 20 straggling National Army soldiers.

Among these 23 soldiers, nine had lost their guns.

Lin Fan did not say anything, he just sent all these 23 soldiers to the ninth squad commanded by Hui Jianming.

He also equipped these soldiers with weapons and ammunition seized from Jiangyin City.

When the soldiers of the special company handed these guns to these nine soldiers, the contempt in their eyes was not concealed at all:

"This time, keep the gun safe for me. The gun is with the person, and if the person is not there, the gun must be there!"

Hearing these words, Hui Jianming felt his face turn red.

The nine soldiers who had lost their guns did not dare to say a word.

They looked at this familiar and unfamiliar team, feeling a little unreal.

There was no officer or soldier in the Jiangyin defense area who did not know about this special company team.

For example, this team had more than 1,000 people, but it was only a company.

Another example was that the soldiers of this company were forced by their officers to run around in the Jiangyin defense area every day, and they had never had half a day off.

There was also what they heard from the brothers in the forts: these soldiers had to get up at 6:00 in the morning to practice bayonet fighting, and they were not allowed to sleep until after 10:00 in the evening.

Today, these straggling soldiers had re-acquainted themselves with this different team.

Especially seeing that Jiangyin County, which had been occupied by the Japanese after their 112th Division retreated, had been recaptured.

Chen Sichuan's squad set off immediately after Ye Daming's sixth squad took over the defense line, and Liu Laopao's second squad followed closely behind.

The defense lines of the third and fourth squads were also handed over to the fifth squad.

The special company's team began to march again.

It was now 8:37 AM on December 2nd.

Xu Kang, who had already crossed the Yangtze River, was standing at Jingjiang Fort, commanding the officers and soldiers on the fort to bombard the Xiagang and Yunting on the south bank.

Covering the retreat of the National Army troops on the south bank.

He was also worried in his heart: in this situation, could the special company really retreat?

It was dawn, and Colonel Noda Kengo, who had been depressed all night, finally began to gather his troops. Da Feng Novel.

Last night, everyone else's team had brilliant achievements, only his regiment had suffered losses, with the entire regiment suffering more than 1,600 casualties.

Such losses made Lieutenant General Sato Kiichi, the commander of the 33rd Brigade, very angry. If it were not for the instability of the military's morale if he changed generals before the battle, he would have wanted to remove Colonel Noda Kengo immediately.

Now that the Jiangyin defense area had been broken, and only a few small teams of the National Army were resisting.

Brigade Commander Sato Kiichi ordered the entire brigade to gather together and act as a group.

Now, the two infantry regiments had a total of nearly 6,000 soldiers.

They spent some time gathering this team.

They were now heading towards Jiangyin County.

When they came to Wangjiacun again, Colonel Noda Kengo looked at the imperial soldiers who had fallen on the ground and had not yet been buried.

He felt a little emotional in his heart.

Now was not the time to bury these warriors.

Just as he was feeling sad, two familiar tanks appeared in front, and a long convoy followed behind the tanks.

It could be clearly seen from the binoculars that these were all imperial soldiers.

Colonel Noda Kengo could say with great certainty that these were imperial soldiers.

Because the expressions on these soldiers' faces were completely a kind of excitement after a great victory.

And these soldiers' faces were filled with a healthy, vigorous expression.

Only the faces of imperial soldiers had this expression.

Thinking this, Colonel Noda Kengo put down the binoculars and looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Well! They were tired all night yesterday, and their faces are a little pale, which is understandable.

But these are small things, they don't affect the overall situation."

However, why were these tanks and soldiers on the opposite side starting to go north?

This was a problem!

Could it be that they were in a hurry to go to Nanjing?

Colonel Noda Kengo was constantly thinking in his mind.

When the leading tank had driven to within 50 meters of them, a soldier suddenly picked up his gun and fired at the tank.

While firing, he shouted loudly, "It was them last night, it was them who hit us."

Just as Colonel Noda Kengo was about to reprimand this mentally disordered soldier.

The tank continued to advance and did not react in any way.

However, the cars behind the tank opened fire.

Chen Sichuan was in the car, looking at so many Japanese in the distance, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He was also secretly thinking, "What to do?"

What could he do at this time?

It was too late to turn around immediately. If they had been seen, turning around would obviously be guilty.

These Japanese were afraid that they would immediately chase after them.

Fight?

There were no fewer than 2,000 Japanese that could be seen in front of them.

What to do?

Chen Sichuan was as anxious as a cat scratching in his heart, but the expression on his face was light.

Patting the top of the car, he instructed Xiang Liguo, who was driving below, "Stay steady! Don't panic! Keep driving, keep driving forward."

He also made a gesture to the convoy behind him to prepare for battle.

The entire team watched the Japanese in front nervously.

When a Japanese soldier on the opposite side opened fire.

The tense soldiers of the first squad immediately opened fire.

The soldiers on the leading car, except for the automatic cannon and the heavy machine gunner who were still shooting in the car.

The rest of the soldiers had jumped out of the car, holding their guns and starting to charge.

The tank increased its throttle and rushed forward. The top cover was lifted up, and the machine gunner also began to operate.

The cars following behind the tank were chasing closely, quickly suppressing the surrounding Japanese and preventing them from getting close to the tank.

The fourth car had stopped at this time.

The heavy machine guns pushed down from the car were no slower than the tank in speed of charge.

The heavy machine guns on the front three cars all had shooting angles, which could suppress the Japanese firepower points urgently.

The mortars on these cars also began to bomb the Wangjiacun in front.

The convoy following behind, after receiving the news that they had encountered the Japanese in front.

They all began to sprint.

The soldiers of Hui Jianming's squad received an order from the cavalry messenger: Stay where you are! Pay attention to guard!

Lin Fan had already ordered all eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns to be set up, ready to fight the Japanese planes at any time.

The sound of artillery fire in front was loud, and the sound of gunfire was fierce.

The sixth squad, which was in charge of the rear guard in the special company, under the command of squad leader Ye Daming.

They were also nervously setting up directional bombs on both sides of the road behind them.

The purpose of this team was to stop the Japanese who were chasing after them.

Of course, they had to use the best weapons.

Ye Daming looked at Ji Feichi, Shao Habo, Jian Junmin and the others, each leading ten soldiers along both sides of the road, nervously working.

This time, they brought a lot of explosives and iron bullets, so Ye Daming was also extravagant.

He ordered these pre-arranged soldiers to leave only 30 meters apart, he wanted all the Japanese who entered the trap to have no return.

Ye Daming had an idea: only by scaring the Japanese who came to pursue them would they not dare to continue to chase them.

The eight Type 92 infantry guns of the first, second, third, and fourth squads were all dragged up.

The soldiers of the special company were especially willing to use fierce firepower to crush the Japanese infantry.

They were doing this now.

With more than a dozen heavy machine guns, an automatic cannon, and eight infantry guns acting as direct attacks.

The special company attacked very quickly.

Just after less than three minutes of engagement, Colonel Noda Kengo began to retreat.

The regimental commander running backwards undoubtedly caused all the soldiers of the 33rd Infantry Regiment to lose their fighting spirit.

In fact, after these soldiers were continuously attacked and retreated again and again last night, they no longer had the courage they had at the beginning.

They were first attacked by the special company last night, and then they encountered the 103rd Division, which was breaking through, and were beaten back again.

Retreating, retreating, and retreating became a habit, and they no longer had the will to continue to hold on under adversity.

The soldiers of the special company were chasing closely.

Colonel Noda Kengo kept retreating. He was indignant in his heart: "My regiment is too unlucky.

Why do we only encounter such tough bones?

Today is even more unlucky: this team is chasing us without letting go, could it be that they want to wipe us out?"

He did not know that the special company did not want to wipe out his regiment.

They just wanted to pass by this road, and they were blocking the way.

Regiment Commander Noda Kengo finally retreated to Xiagang Town behind Wangjiacun.

The first goal of the special company's retreat was Xiagang.

The best plan formulated by Lin Fan was to bring all the cannons here.

If there was a large rolling boat here, he would guard here for a day and retreat the cannons to the north of the Yangtze River.

With a two-kilometer-wide river, cannons could also support the south of the Yangtze River from the other side.

In fact, Xiagang was now receiving support from the other side.

Although Xiagang Town had been occupied by the Japanese.

Because Xiagang was directly exposed to the line of sight of the forts on the other side, there were still National Army and Japanese fighting.

When Chen Sichuan and the others chased the remnants of the Noda Kengo Regiment to Xiagang Town.

The Asukawa Seiji Regiment, following behind the Noda Kengo Regiment, had already prepared for defense.
