The vanguard team leader panted and ran out of the train station. After finding the captain, he reported with a panic: "Sir, there is no living person in the station. All the national rescue troops who captured the railway station ran away. The commander asked the train we intercepted to park in the station, but the carriage was empty and there was no mining equipment mentioned by the superiors inside!"

"Baga! We are late. The National Salvation Army has moved the equipment in the car!" The captain cursed with an indignant look on his face.

The deputy captain suggested: "Sir, the National Salvation Army will definitely not run fast with a large number of machinery and equipment. If you pursue it now, you may be able to intercept them and blow up the equipment they stolen!"

The captain refused without hesitation and said, "The National Rescue Military Defense Zone is ahead. There are many crises inside, and there may be traps everywhere. How can we chase after you? Do you want the remaining soldiers to die in it?"

After saying this, he stared at the forward captain and confirmed: "Have you searched every place in the railway station? Is there any danger inside?"

The forward captain nodded with certainty: "Please rest assured, we searched every corner of the railway station, except for the bodies of the guard soldiers, there was no living person!"

The captain glanced at the exhausted subordinate behind him and made a decision: "The First Squadron sent a guard post to the surrounding area with the railway station as the center to ensure that there were no enemies within one kilometer around the railway station. Other troops entered the railway station to rest and reported the situation here to the brigade commander. The command center asked us to do whatever we wanted us to do next?"

The Japanese guards cleared the railway station guard station in just ten minutes. The captain walked into the command center full of bullet holes and began to write a war report, preparing to report the situation here to the brigade commander.

Ordinary Japanese troops divided into soldiers into the guard barracks based on infantry squads and prepared to have a good rest...

In the National Salvation Army Defense Zone, on a mountain ridge less than one kilometer away from the blockade line, more than 200 National Salvation Army artillery are setting up artillery, carrying shells, and adjusting artillery firers here... Every soldier is very busy.

Artillery battalion commander Tan Wei stood in front of all artillery positions, holding a telescope, staring motionlessly at Chengjia Station two kilometers away.

He is both excited and looking forward to it now.

The artillery troops brought to Yangquan by the Chief of Staff, most of the artillery troops left behind in the defense zone gathered here.

In addition to the mountain cannon company that came back with the car, there are a total of eight mountain cannons and 16 mortars here.

Tan Wei has been the battalion commander for so long, and for the first time, he commanded so many artillery operations at the same time.

The mountain cannons are placed in front of the artillery position, lined up in a row, and the gun positions are five meters away from each other, all with black muzzles raised, ready to shoot at any time.

Mortars were lined up in two rows behind the mountain cannons, and they all held black muzzles...

"Report to the battalion commander, the eight-sect mountain cannons have been adjusted, and the cannons can be fired at any time!" The commander of the mountain cannon company stood more than ten meters away and shouted.

"Report to the battalion commander, all mortars are ready to fire!" The mortar company commander behind the mountain cannon position reported.

Tan Wei did not respond and continued to hold up his telescope to observe the train station.

At this moment, all the Japanese soldiers holding torches had entered the railway station and then divided their troops into the original guard station.

When the torches were no longer visible to the railway station, the Japanese immediately ordered: "Get one of the mountain cannons and mortars to test the fire. Target: the Japanese police station at the railway station two kilometers away, adjust the shooting personnel at the fastest speed, and then cover the police station with the five-minute artillery fire!"

"boom……"

A mountain cannon in the middle of the position quickly roared, and then he heard the harsh roar of shells passing through the sky.

The mortars also fired at the same time, because their firing movements were very small and completely suppressed by the sound of mountain cannon shooting, and almost no one noticed their existence.

A few seconds later, two flames rose from the train station.

After several seconds, the explosion reached Tan Wei's ears.

The two company commanders and artillery observers all stared at the train station with nervous expressions, determining the bounce point and the distance between the shooting target. The moment the flames rose, they began to provide the gunner with new shooting personnel.

Half a minute later, the adjusted mountain cannons and mortars began to fire volleys. More than 20 shells had eyes, and all hit the train station, and at least half of them happened to hit the guard station.

The captain kept lying on the command center table and writing a telegram.

The troops did not complete the task, and this battle report was particularly difficult to write. Just as he racked his brains to consider the content of the telegram, two shells fell from the sky and smashed into the train station.

The captain's pen was shocked and he stood up and ran outside the command center!

Two balls of fire rose into the air at the train station one by one, and the shells slightly closer hit the guard station, less than fifty meters away from the captain.

The two shells had different calibers, and they stopped after only one round of shooting. The captain didn't need to guess what was going on. He shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy is testing the shells, and our base was targeted by the enemy artillery troops!"

"Everyone evacuated the train station, hurry..."

The guards responded the fastest, and they carried him out without waiting for the captain to finish their words.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the station, the scream of shells passing through the sky rang over his head.

The captain had a rich experience in commanding and combat, and his face turned pale as soon as he heard it: "Bageya Road, at least one mountain artillery squadron can fire volleys to create such a big noise. We will be the National Rescue Army and let the troops behind leave the station as soon as possible!"

"Boom..."

The explosion quickly rang in the squadron leader's ears, most of the explosions were concentrated behind him, and a small number of explosions were scattered around.

The captain's face turned paler than before.

The violent explosion made him realize that the National Salvation Army had shelled his artillery strength far more than one mountain artillery squadron. In addition to mountain artillery, the other party had at least ten mortars...

In the splashing flames, countless retreating Japanese soldiers were blown up and fell to the ground and there was no movement.

"Baga...my legs..." A Japanese man fell to the ground, turned his head and saw one of his legs blown away, shouting with pain.

"You two bring him with you to continue retreating..." A small team leader happened to see this scene and was very heartbroken.

The soldier injured by the bomb was Cao, with a rich combat experience. Now that one leg has been blown away, he will definitely leave the army. For the team he is in, it will be a huge loss.

The two soldiers named were reluctant.

The artillery fire covering the garrison is too fierce. No matter who it is, staying here for an extra second will make you more dangerous.

Retreat with a broken leg is definitely more time-consuming than retreating alone. Maybe you will lose your life here because of the wounded soldiers.

But he is a soldier. In the Japanese army with a strict hierarchy, even if his superiors ask him to commit suicide with a grenade, he will do it without any room for negotiation.

Therefore, the command of the team leader must be executed.

Just now, he ran forward seven or eight meters after he was slammed into the front of them.

The fire flashed in front of their eyes, and the three Japanese were overturned by the waves of air, and they fell to the ground with their backs. Each soldier had at least one shell broken in his chest.

"Sir...we rushed out..." The guard captain said with lingering fear at the railway station that was about to be flooded by artillery fire.

At the entrance and exit of the railway station, soldiers kept rushing out of the station, all of whom showed a panic expression of fear.

The captain looked and murmured in his heart: "Let's get more! Run out a little more subordinates!"

Disappointed that time passed by in seconds, not only did the number of soldiers rushing out of the train station not only did not increase, but instead fewer and fewer wounded soldiers, but the proportion of wounded soldiers became more and more.

Anyone with rich combat experience knows that for a retreating force, soldiers in good health deserve to be running in the front and wounded soldiers at the back.

The higher the proportion of wounded soldiers, the fewer soldiers left behind.

The guard station had been bombed with artillery fire, and the railway station had been hit by a lot of shells, with splashing flames and thick smoke everywhere.

Under such fierce artillery fire, if the troops had not yet rushed out, 80% would have been blown up to death and wounded.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a roar of engine sounded behind the captain. After a moment of silence, the light machine gun fire sounded. The captain was particularly sensitive to this sound and asked anxiously: "What's the matter with the gunshot behind us?"

A second lieutenant from the first squadron rushed over and said panic when he saw the captain: "Sir, something happened. The National Salvation Army came to us from their defense zone, and an armored vehicle was covering the attack. Our troops were too dispersed and could not stop them at all!"

"Does the National Rescue Army want to eat us here?" the captain shouted with disbelief.

But soon the deputy captain told him with facts that this incident was very likely to happen: "Sir, there were only more than 200 troops stationed in the railway station and all the heavy weapons were thrown inside. We only had some piercing machine guns and had no positions. If we resisted hard, we would definitely not be able to stop the armored vehicles that the National Rescue Army had killed."

"If the artillery fire from their artillery fire at the railway station was transferred to our heads to fire, and we would not even have a trench to avoid the artillery bombardment, the troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties..."

The captain understood: "What you mean, if you take it here, we will definitely not be the opponent of the National Salvation Army!"

Although the deputy captain felt very aggrieved, he still replied with a tough bullet: "Please think twice, sir!"

"We have no heavy weapons, no positions, and no military advantage. We are definitely not their opponents by relying solely on flesh and blood."

"Bageyalu!" The captain's face was full of anger. He had never been as frustrated as he had been tonight for so long.

Seeing the deputy captain, he was very unwilling to give in: "The entire army retreats and marchs away from here in a hurry. The speed must be fast. You must not be dragged here by the killing national rescue army, otherwise everyone will not be able to leave!"
