The Japanese were approaching, and the sunset was about to set. While you could still see them, the Japanese launched an attack. Wu Jiuwen Book Friends uploaded the simple fortifications that had just been completed, Liu Zhenghong and others resisted the last attack before the Japanese sunset.

Night fell soon, and in the night, the Japanese lit up bonfires, and these bonfires formed a circle. On the one hand, they were for warmth, and on the other hand, they were for some fire lighting to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through the dark.

Time passed little by little, and the moon rose to the sky. Today is the thirteenth lunar calendar. The temperature was very low in the early winter night, and some fires also rose on Liu Zhenghong's position. From the outside, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be burning the fire.

There weren't one or two cold guns on the battlefield, and all of this seemed to be in the expectation of Iijima. He was always thinking about the last blow that was about to be launched tomorrow.

As the night gets deeper and Iijima slowly falls asleep.

Under the cold moonlight, piles of bonfires were burning. Not only were there fires on the Japanese, but there were also fires on Liu Zhenghong's position.

After the battle of Iijima's troops in the past few days, the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. In order to ensure uninterrupted pursuit and to put increasing pressure on Liu Zhenghong, Iijima ordered two puppet troops to force their troops. At present, the Japanese and puppet troops have joined forces. They formed a seemingly loose but very tight encirclement against Liu Zhenghong by the lake.

This encirclement is connected by fires, each fire is 100 meters apart, and there are several puppet soldiers guarding it next to the fire. Not far from the fire, there are Japanese soldiers hidden in secret. Once the puppet army finds that the Eighth Route Army breaks through, they will fire guns and the Japanese soldiers will immediately provide fire support.

In addition to these guard forces around the encirclement, Iijima also formed several mobile teams, which were not far from the encirclement. When the Eighth Route Breakthrough Point was determined, these teams would immediately block the breakthrough.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. The bright moon slowly rose to the top of the head. Apart from a cold gun or two in the night sky, there was no movement on the Eighth Route Army's position. The puppet soldiers guarding the fire slowly relaxed their vigilance, and some people started to doze with guns.

The Japanese warned fire was connected to the shore. A puppet army fell asleep with a gun, and the fire was burning beside him. Because there was no firewood added for a long time, the flames of the fire gradually changed. The temperature became lower and lower, and the puppet army suddenly woke up by the cold.

"Ah sneezing!" The puppet army sneezed, and he hugged his arms tightly to make his body warmer. At this moment, he suddenly heard a little splash of water on the lake.

There was no wind at night. There was no boat on the lake, so how could there be a sound of water splashing? The puppet army opened their eyes wide and looked carefully like the lake surface. This made him shocked. He saw that there were some figures shaking from afar on the lake surface under the moonlight. The lake surface at night was very quiet. If you listen carefully, in addition to the "swinging" sound of water, there were also the sound of collisions of guns and equipment.

"The Eighth Route Army ran away. The Eighth Route Army ran away from the lake!" The puppet army pointed at the black shadows and shouted.

"Nani? Nani?" A Japanese soldier ran over from the darkness with a gun.

Following the fingers of the puppet soldiers, the Japanese soldiers also saw the black shadows and heard the sound of "waving" water. There must be someone moving on the lake. The Japanese soldiers did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to his superiors to report the situation.

Iijima was awakened by his staff, and his officers came to report the latest situation to him.

Because it was impossible to determine whether the Eighth Route Army had left or just one person had left, Iijima immediately responded: "The mobile team near the north pursued along the lake shore. The rest of the troops immediately launched a full-line attack!"

Iijima's reaction was normal because he could not be sure whether all the people on the lake were active. Perhaps, the Eighth Route Army was just a force that wades away.

The front line quickly sounded gunfire, which was the soldiers of Iijima preparing for fire. The gunfire sounded in the northwest direction, which was the pursuit team shooting at the dark shadows in the lake.

Not long after, the charge began to be launched in front. Various battle reports kept coming back, and the attack on the encirclement was soon over. Because there was no one inside, the soldiers of Iijima quickly occupied the position that was guarded by the Eighth Route Army.

Iijima regretted it at this time. Since Iijima led his troops to pursue, the subsequent development of the battle situation was as he planned. He also surrounded the remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army at the scheduled location. The plan to force the Eighth Route Army to a desperate situation and then surround it has been realized. Iijima can almost see the victory moment of the last blow.

However, Iijima really did not expect the Eighth Route Army to break through the lake. In winter, the water level of the lake is not high, but the water temperature is very low, and there is no sign that the Eighth Route Army has ships. Therefore, in Iijima's heart, this lake is the dead end for the Eighth Route Army.

However, the reality in front of me had already told Iijima that the Eighth Route Army had left and was really wading through this cold lake, which made Iijima, who failed, extremely angry. After being furious, Iijima ordered: "Chase, chase! Chase overnight!"

Liu Zhenghong did not expect that this breakthrough would be so smooth. Liu Zhenghong expected that the lake would be shallow in winter and the troops would likely wading away, but he did not expect that Iijima would not expect this.

Liu Zhenghong was trekking hard in the lake at this time. The lake water was very cold and there was a lot of silt at the bottom of the water. Every step he took would require a lot of effort to pull out the feet that were deeply trapped in the mud before walking. What was even more painful was that there were old water chestnuts that had been deposited for many years in the mud. The hard thorns of these old water chestnuts were very sharp. As long as people stepped on them, they would be pierced with a blood hole.

"He's the mom, the Japanese devils bully us, and our Chinese old Lingjiao bullies us." The injured soldier whispered.

The lake water was so cold that it was so cold that Liu Zhenghong's body was chilling. His upper and lower teeth touched each other from time to time, making a "grand" sound.

There was no one in the team cursing, and this emotion gradually infected everyone. Liu Zhenghong suppressed the cold feeling and said in a lighter tone: "Comrades, the old water chestnut has created difficulties for us, but the old water chestnut is not a traitor, it is also useful. Let's pick up these old water chestnuts and when they get ashore, we can still eat them as food."

"Oh, I stepped on a round thing. Haha, this is a wild duck egg. I'll eat it when I'll eat it." Liu Zhenghong's optimism began to work. Suddenly, a soldier touched a wild duck egg and said with a smile.

At this time, the Japanese on the shore fired. "Eight hooks! Eight hooks!" In the quiet night, the gunshots seemed particularly crisp.

The breakout operation has been exposed, and it is meaningless to remain quiet at this time. The most important thing about the team is to quickly leave. Liu Zhenghong let go of his throat and ordered loudly: "Speed ​​up."

"Accelerate progress." "Accelerate progress!" Liu Zhenghong's order was passed down by the soldiers and reached the front of the team. Under the cold moonlight, in the cold lake water, and amid the enemy's gunshots, the team of the Eighth Route Army accelerated their speed. They trekked all the way through the lake water, and they followed the guidance of the Beidou Star and marched towards the north.

It was almost dawn, and Liu Zhenghong led his team to the shore. Walking through the lake, the Eighth Route Army was walking in a straight line, while the Japanese chasing along the lakeshore were walking in an arc-shaped detour. They not only jumped out of the encirclement of Iijima troops, but also threw the Japanese soldiers far behind them.

When the troops got ashore, Liu Zhenghong ordered a fire to burn the soldiers who were soaked all over to keep warm, and let the injured soldiers clean and bandage the wounds.

The Japanese were temporarily freed, but the team was not in good condition, so they could not get injured on their feet. Some soldiers with weak constitutions started to have a fever because they caught a cold last night.

The Japanese were behind him, and Liu Zhenghong and his team only had a rest for half a day before continuing to set off on their way. The direction of their retreat continued to go north.

The Japanese were on the south side of their defense zone, and the Ninth Detachment would never dare to take it lightly. The officers and soldiers of the First Battalion were naturally waiting for the battle. Even Li Qinglin and Liang Xixian came to the First Battalion to take charge of the command.

The war situation in the south continued to spread to them, and the news that Liu Zhenghong and the others were blocked by the Japanese were soon spreading. However, the result was not surprising, so from the beginning, Li Qinglin and the others knew that the strength gap between the two sides was too large.

Yuan Dahuzi's team is fighting with Shimada. Liu Zhenghong's team is about to suffer a catastrophe. However, the Ninth Detachment, both of whom are the Central Team, does not go to rescue each other for various reasons. This makes the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Detachment, who are soldiers, not very emotional. Even Liang Xixian, who regards anti-* communism as his mission, is in a heavy mood.

But the next morning, news came that the Eighth Route Army had broken through the water. Li Qinglin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Xixian couldn't help but sigh: "Good, good luck!"

Li Qinglin made arbitrage while the railway was hot: "Brothers, no matter what, the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough operation is a classic battle. It is definitely not accidental that they can survive in a desperate situation this time. Our commanders at all levels must study it carefully."

This time, even Liang Xixian nodded frequently and said, "We should indeed learn from the Eighth Route Army. The combat will of other officers and soldiers is indeed our role model."

Liuzi asked: "Boss, this Eighth Route Army unit has escaped from danger this time. Should we support it?"

Liang Xixian was speechless this time. Li Qinglin thought for a while and said, "The Eighth Route Army must have been injured this time. We have never helped. If we don't take any action, we can't stand it, right? Director Liang, we are supporting them with some medicine now, which is enough to do our best as a friendly army. Do you think this is OK?"
