Inoue's team had a total of fifty-four people, eight people had been killed in the battle just now and eleven were injured. The bodies of the dead were unable to be taken away. Inoue asked the soldiers to cut off the palms of the dead and take them back. The bodies of the dead were abandoned on the battlefield just now, and the wounded soldiers were always with the team.

The opponent was getting closer and closer, not to mention the sound of horse hooves like the drum beater, even the shouts of chasing infantry were clearly heard. Inoue asked the soldiers to put down the nine wounded soldiers. He said to Cao Chang, one of the wounded soldiers: "Takahashi, the troops are going to Sangyu Town. Now you need your command to cover them, please." After that, he bowed deeply to the wounded soldiers.

In general, the Japanese will not abandon their wounded people, but in the most critical moments, the entire army will never be wiped out due to the burden of the wounded people. Although Inoue said it very politely, Takahashi Cao Cao understood very well that the team leader Inoue had decided to abandon himself to survive. Takahashi was waiting for eleven wounded people to "break" the entire team.

After the eleven wounded were placed in a concealed object, the soldiers of the Inoue Squad silently took out the bullets they carried with them from the ammunition box and placed them at their hands. Then they retreated under Inoue's command. The eleven wounded began to cut off the rear of the entire squad.

Knowing that there is no chance of survival, the Japanese soldiers had already left their lives behind, so they picked up their rifles and started shooting.

The sorrow is greater than death. The deceased Japanese soldiers no longer need to panic. They begin to exert their maximum instincts of life, and they fight and snatch them quickly and accurately. "Eight Hooks", "Eight Hooks", "Eight Hooks"..., the gunshots of the wounded Japanese soldiers kept ringing, and the three large groups of soldiers rushing in front of the team kept falling down, and the pursuing troops were suddenly stopped.

Li Qinglin saw this in the telescope. He immediately ordered Deng Zhongxiang to block the retreating Japanese, and let the troops on both sides not care about the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, but only pursue them along the top of the mountain.

Deng Zhongxiang's mortars were constantly adjusting their firing orders, and artillery fire began to chase the squad at the Imperial. However, adjustment was not so easy. Although one or two shells fell near the Japanese squad, most of them still fell into the open space.

There were stones and weeds and shrubs on the hillside, and it was difficult for the chasing soldiers to increase their speed. The intercepted mortar shells blew down four or five Japanese soldiers, but Inoue still ignored them. He led the remaining soldiers to run further and further away, and finally escaped from the firepower of the three brigades.

Li Qinglin originally wanted to annihilate this small group of Japanese soldiers at one time, but human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. Li Qinglin had to sigh and began to concentrate on solving the Japanese soldiers who were still persevering.

These Japanese wounded soldiers were determined to die. With the support of this spirit of fighting to the death, they actually stopped the pursuing cavalry. You should know that the cavalry is the fastest unit in Li Qinglin's hands.

The puppet army was basically all confiscated. Li Qinglin asked the militia to take over these puppet prisoners. The soldiers directly under the squadron were divided into two parts. Some of them went to deal with the Japanese wounded soldiers who were left behind by the Inoue in front, and some began to surround several Japanese wounded soldiers in the valley.

Because these wounded soldiers ruined Li Qinglin's plan, Li Qinglin gritted his teeth and ordered: "Shoot to death on the spot, kill it without any consequences."

The Japanese soldiers were surrounded, but they could not escape anyway. In order not to increase unnecessary casualties, the officers and soldiers surrounded these Japanese soldiers to shoot targets.

Although the Japanese soldiers were strong, they were surrounded by soldiers from direct squadrons. At this time, the sharpshooters showed their power. Guo Zilin, who had a sniper rifle in his hands, was even more unsuccessful. All the Japanese soldiers were killed one by one, and the two or three wounded soldiers who were left behind by Inoue were also dealt with.

The battlefield was handed over to the militia to clean, and the others in the direct squadron immediately replenished ammunition, and then chased in the direction of retreating in the Inoue under Li Qinglin's command.

There were about 30 people left in the Inoue team, and they had machine guns and grenade launchers in their hands, which was also a force that should not be underestimated. Inoue retreated along the same path. Although they suffered heavy casualties here, due to the strong revenge of the Japanese, they were likely to attack Sangyu Town again. Li Qinglin was unwilling to suffer Sangyu Town again.

The infantry led by Li Qinglin was a little slower, and the cavalry quickly caught up with the remaining soldiers of Inoue's team. In the battle just now, the cavalry suffered the most, and the cavalry of the three squads are now only about half of them.

The cavalry basically used rifles, and their firepower was too weak. In front of the Japanese soldiers who were fighting to survive, even if they caught up, they would just harass the Inoue team. The Inoue team really ran towards Sangyu Town quickly.

The people along the way had been mobilized to evacuate long ago, and all the militia members joined the battle sequence of the three brigades. In addition to the occasionally causing some minor trouble to Inoue, the remaining soldiers in Inoue marched quickly in this unmanned land, and they soon approached Sangyu Town.

The Eighth Squadron and Dong Zhao's cavalry squadron had long been transferred to the battlefield, and Feng Zheng's 10th Squadron is on standby in Sangyu Town. The news that Inoue Squad was rushing to Sangyu Town had long been sent by cavalry. Feng Zheng dispatched troops and was ready for battle.

His roundabout attack troops were suddenly attacked by the other party and suffered heavy casualties, which made Inoue very angry. In his heart, he really wanted to rush to Sangyu Town to cause trouble. But as he ran, he suddenly realized that since the other party had carefully organized an ambush battle, would he set up another trap in Sangyu Town and wait for him to come to his door?

Thinking of this, Inoue's back was startled with a cold sweat. The more he thought about it, the greater the possibility. Inoue was a quick decision, and he immediately stopped the troops, and then the team began to turn. Inoue's team would no longer attack Sangyu Town, but began to move closer to Sakamoto's large army.

Sakamoto also encountered strong resistance at this time. He finally broke through the first line of defense set up by Zhang Ergou, but the troops had traveled less than two miles, and the second line of defense set up by Zhang Ergou blocked him again.

In order to break through the first line of defense, Sakamoto's troops had some casualties. When Sakamoto attacked, he realized that his opponent was definitely a long-standing army. When he arrived at the second line of defense, Sakamoto deployed the troops one by one according to the requirements of the infantry Caodian. After everything was ready, Sakamoto commanded the troops to start an attack, and the Japanese army attacked from the left and the puppet troops attacked from the right.

Firepower is prepared, infantry attacks; then firepower is covered, infantry continues to advance, just like the textbooks teach. Sakamoto's squadron and puppet army squadron pressed Zhang Ergou's second line of defense step by step, and it was about to break through to a distance of two hundred meters.

But at this moment, a sound came from the air, and then, with a "bang", a mortar shell exploded among Sakamoto's soldiers, and Sakamoto's soldiers were immediately blown down...
