Li Qinglin immediately called Xiao Liuzi and asked him to follow the battalion commander to get orders from the battalion headquarters.

During dinner, Xiao Liuzi came back from the battalion headquarters, and he indeed took back the battalion headquarters' order.

Zhang Ergou and the big man happened to be with Li Qinglin. Seeing those orders, Zhang Ergou smiled and said, "Boss, these orders are amulets. Have you decided where to go?"

Li Qinglin said, "President of the Second Platoon, you are indeed an old fox. The Japanese were defeated in the afternoon, but they did not go far. It is still unclear whether our 90s can leave the position alive. I asked for these things first, not to be deserters, but to wait until the time specified tomorrow, we can just proof when we retreat."

Xiao Liuzi said: "This time, our palace queen is obviously being used as cannon fodder by others. Can we still do it in such a unit?"

The big man also said: "We are not the troops of the 25th Division. If we can keep our positions until the prescribed time tomorrow, it will be the right one for the 25th Division. After this battle, let's go far away. Boss, you think so far."

Li Qinglin was exactly this in his heart, but he was the supreme commander of this company. If someone reported that he was planning to leave the 25th Division, he would really be dealt with in front of the escapees. Now that he heard that two of the three platoon leaders had agreed to do this, he was no longer afraid, so he asked Zhang Ergou with a smile: "Second Platoon Commander, what do you mean?"

Li Qinglin's words sounded like a casual question, but how could a veteran like Zhang Ergou have any reason to not understand? He also had the idea of ​​getting out of the 25th Division, so he hurriedly said: "Boss, my family is in Jiangxi and there are no people at home. Anyway, I will not do anything except being a soldier in my life. I will go wherever you go."

Hearing that Zhang Ergou agreed, Li Qinglin felt relieved and said to the three platoon leaders: "Tonight we should be careful of the Japanese attacks. Each platoon will arrange people to take turns on duty. I hope that everyone in the fifth world will walk out of the position alive tomorrow."

There were some things that needed to be said explicitly, and the plan to leave was tacitly understood. Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the three platoon leaders hurried back to arrange the defense at night.

In the afternoon, Li Qinglin observed the small group of Japanese soldiers who fled to the distance through a telescope and found that they did not go far, but were hanging there from a distance, as if monitoring the dynamics of the 25th Division. In order to prevent being sneak attacked at night, Li Qinglin specially arranged several groups of secret sentries. If there was indeed a sneak attack by the Japanese army at night, these secret sentries would issue an alarm.

The Japanese army's follow-up troops did not seem to have followed, and the night passed without any danger. When dawn was almost dawn, all the troops of the 52nd Army behind him passed through the small stone bridge.

The next day, Li Qinglin observed from the telescope that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, but this was also a small force. By noon, the number of Japanese troops seemed to be a little higher, and they immediately launched an attack on the cover troops of the 25th Division.

The 25th Division's cover force had two battalions, the second battalion was arranged on the north side of the road and the third battalion was arranged on the south side of the road. The direction of the Japanese attack was exactly the second battalion on the north side of the road.

This Japanese army was also a light-armed harassing force. Their strongest firepower was two 92 infantry artillery and several mortars. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions had four battalions under the battalion, and the 25th Division left a sufficient number of shells, and the two sides were equally matched in the power of artillery fire.

This group of Japanese artillery fired against the Second Battalion for a period of time, and then sent a small team of infantry to conduct a tentative attack on the position of the Sixth Company of the Second Battalion.

In addition to two 82mm cannons, the second battalion's machine gun company was equipped with six heavy machine guns. When the Japanese army had just set up their formation to attack, the six heavy machine guns were fired at the same time. Before one ammunition chain was finished, half of the infantry of this squad were wiped out.

After the Japanese army entered China, because the main force was already far away, the cover troops of the national army would generally collapse when encountering the Japanese attack. This time, the Japanese army also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but unexpectedly, they encountered troops that were not afraid of death. Perhaps the second battalion's firepower was too strong, or perhaps the Japanese army had another task, and they lifted the casualties from the battlefield and retreated.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the Second and Third Battalions completed the cover mission, and the two battalions began to set off to chase the main force of the 25th Division.

In the evening, Guide was about to arrive. The team had just approached a small hill when suddenly a team of Japanese cavalry rushed out of the woods behind the mountain. Amid the sound of horse hooves, the team of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the walking team with a shiny sabre.

The troops must have vanguards exploring the way forward. Today, perhaps these vanguards were lazy. They climbed the hill but did not reconnaise the woods at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, the Japanese cavalry hidden in the woods were not discovered.

There were not many Japanese cavalry, that is, two squads of people and horses. The cavalry used the speed of the horse's impact to quickly approach the opponent, and the main weapon they relied on was the sabre shining with cold light in their hands. For example, the Japanese squad of people and horses were too few for the infantry of the two battalions, but the shock of the cavalry on the infantry was far greater than the actual lethality. Therefore, this squad of people and horses in the Japanese army dared to launch an impact on the infantry.

The Second and Third Battalions were really careless today. When the Japanese army began to attack, the infantry guns were on their shoulders and knives were on their sheaths, and they were not prepared at all.

There is a characteristic of horse impact, which is that it starts slow, and will gradually accelerate after running for a short distance. When it is fully accelerated, the cavalry will almost rush to the front. The infantry took off the guns on their shoulders and pulled the bolts and bullets in a hurry. The Japanese infantry will already rush to the front.

Before the infantry could fire bullets, the Japanese cavalry had already rushed into the crowd, and the cold sabre had already fallen. The sabre was slashed with the help of the horse's speed, and the human limbs seemed as fragile as reeds under the sabre. After this attack, dozens of heads fell to the ground in the team, and more than a dozen were trampled or injured by horses.

After the Japanese cavalry rushed past, they immediately turned into a small circle and rushed back. With the sound of horse hooves like drums, the team began to be in chaos, and many soldiers began to flee in all directions.

The speed of a human is definitely not as fast as a horse, and the scattered soldiers are just the best target for the cavalry. When the Japanese cavalry rushed over again, the national army was already spreading very much.

Because the fifth company leaned back later, the Japanese army's first attack did not directly rush towards them, so the team was not in chaos. When the Japanese army rushed past the team for the first time, everyone's guns fell off their shoulders. When the Japanese army rushed back again, the soldiers had already pushed the bullets and loaded them to start aiming.

The Japanese cavalry rushed into the crowd again. The targeted soldiers were afraid of hurting their own people by chance, so they asked, "Company Commander, will they fight?"

Looking at the sabre that kept slashing and the falling comrades who kept hesitating, more people would die, Li Qing and Lin bit his teeth and said, "Let's fire."
