A company of positions.

Zhang Xinghan was patrolling the trenches to comfort the injured soldiers. At this moment, a soldier ran over quickly and shouted loudly while running: "Company Commander, Company Commander!"

"What's the matter here?" Zhang Xinghan asked loudly.

The soldier quickly jumped into the trench, walked quickly to Zhang Xinghan with a gun in one hand, and stood up and said, "Report to the company commander, I found the Japanese on the flank of Xiaotang Village. The troops were about one squadron. I tried to cross the river, but I was repelled by my second platoon. However, the Japanese did not withdraw, and they went north."

"Going north?" Zhang Xinghan said to himself: "The Japanese want to take a detour. It seems that they want to detour from behind us to attack Luodian!"

"Since that's the case, the company commander, let's withdraw back to Luodian quickly. If the Japanese really capture Luodian from behind, our retreat will be completely cut off. At that time, the Japanese will be in trouble." Sun Siwei hurriedly persuaded him.

"No, we can't retreat! Once we withdraw to Luodian, Xiaotang Village falls into the hands of the Japanese, and it will not be so easy to retake it. Even if the Japanese conquer Luodian in a roundabout way, as long as we stick to Xiaotang Village and prevent the Japanese from meeting in Luodian, we can retake Luodian when our reinforcements arrive, and wipe out the Japanese in Luodian in one fell swoop!" Zhang Xinghan analyzed calmly.

"But company commander, when will our reinforcements arrive? Shangfeng didn't know that Luodian was still standing still. Maybe they would have given up Luodian long ago. If they did not retreat at this time, when the Japanese attacked from behind, they would really not be able to retreat!" Sun Siwei advised earnestly.

"Yes! Xinghan, what Lao Sun said makes sense. Maybe Shangfeng has given up Luodian. It's not because the brothers are afraid of death, but because the Japanese are crowded with power. We alone cannot save the situation of the war. Otherwise, we should retreat too!" Zhao Desheng also stepped forward to persuade.

"No, believe me, Shangfeng will never give up Luodian, and the commission will not give up Luodian. If Luodian is lost, Songhu will be shocked, they will not know, so we must stick to it. Even if we fight to the last battle, we cannot retreat! Now that the three eastern provinces are lost, most of North China are lost. As soldiers, do we still have to retreat again and again?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head firmly, and then asked with emotion.

"Brothers, if Songhu is lost, Nanjing will definitely be out of protection, so we must not retreat easily! If Nanjing is lost, our country will really perish! Today's battle is only death. I would rather fight to the end than retreat easily!" Zhang Xinghan said to everyone excitedly.

"Company Commander, you are right, we won't withdraw! As a soldier, you should stick to your country and never retreat easily!" Sun Siwei said quite movedly.

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

"Fight to death and never retreat!"

Dozens of soldiers shouted in unison with their blood. Several seriously injured wounded were also infected and rushed to shout moving slogans.

Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the warrior and said, "Go back immediately and tell your platoon leader, and let him build fortifications along the north of Xiaotang Village immediately. If the Japanese take a detour to capture Luodian and launch an attack on us, let your platoon leader withstand anyway. If necessary, you can withdraw from the village to fight street battles!"

"Yes!" The soldier stood attentively, then turned around and left quickly.

"Brothers, hurry up! You must hurry to Luodian before the Japanese!" On the road from Gu Jiazhai to Luodian, Hu Lian, the commander of the 11th Division, the 33rd Brigade, and the 66th Regiment, hurriedly urging the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment to speed up the march.

The officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment were all armed with guns and ammunition, running at full speed. Behind the team, Du Qianxue, who had already transformed into a confidential member of the 66th Regiment, also twisted Qian's waist and was running forward with her team hard.

"Quick! Speed ​​up!" Hu Lian was wearing military uniform and waved his hands and urged him majesticly.

Not far behind the 66th Regiment, the commander of the 11th Division, Peng Shan, deputy commander Mo Yushuo, chief of staff Zeng Boxi, and commander of the 33rd Brigade Ye Peigao were in a military vehicle surrounded by a team of guards, and behind them were the officers and soldiers of the 65th Regiment. At the beginning of the war, the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division was ordered to be transferred to the command of the 87th Division.

Although he has been ordered to return to the construction, it will take time to return to the construction, so Commander Peng Shan first led the two regiments of the 33rd Brigade and the directly affiliated troops of the Shanyao Battalion directly under the division headquarters to take the lead in starting to Luodian.

Peng Shan was sitting in the car with a tense face and wasted his time. He didn't know whether Luodian had fallen or not. If Luodian had fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders, Peng Shan knew very well that it would not be so easy to retake it.

Outside Xiaotang Village, the command of the 12th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.

The wing leader Anda twenty-three was carrying his hands on his back and forth, and was strolling anxiously in the command center with a saber. More than an hour ago, after receiving a request from Chief of Staff Yamaki Moto, he ordered a squadron to rush to reinforce.

The repeated setbacks in the frontal offense were much beyond Anda Twenty-san's expectations, so before the frontal offense made substantial progress, Anda Twenty-san, the old Japanese devil, still placed his hopes on a partial division led by his chief of staff.

In order to facilitate contact, he also equipped the infantry squadron he later sent to equipped with a radio station.

Just as Anda Twenty-three was restless and anxious, a second lieutenant communications officer walked in quickly and suddenly closed his feet and said, "Report to the corps captain! Major Yamaki called."

"Remember!" Anda Twenty-three hurriedly waved his hand to signal.

"Master Yamaki reported that after investigation, it was found that there was no Chinese defender in Luodian Town. He led the first squadron and the third squadron to successfully capture Luodian five minutes ago. Luodian has been captured by our Imperial Japanese Army. Long live the Great Japanese Empire, Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The second lieutenant staff officer said as he closed his feet and stood attentive again.

"Yoxi!" Anda Twenty-three was overjoyed when they heard this, nodded happily, "Call back to Yamamujun and leave a squadron to guard Luodian. The rest of the troops immediately launched an attack on the China Army in Xiaotang Village, cooperated with our first brigade to capture Xiaotang Village in one fell swoop, killing all the abominable China defenders without leaving any!"

"Order the First and Third Battalions to each send a squadron to attack Xiaotang Village immediately!" Anda Twenty-three ordered very excitedly.

"Hayi!" The Japanese communications officer suddenly lowered his head and bowed, then turned around and took the order happily.

………………………….

In Luodian Town.

Major Yamaki Moto stood solemnly outside the temporary command department, looking at Xiaotang Village in the south of the town, and smiled proudly: "Yoxi, damn Chinese army, I'm going to catch a turtle in a jar this time!"

Yamaki Moto was proudly a correspondent behind him took off his headphones, held the telegram and stood attentively and said, "Your Excellency, the corps captain is calling."

"Oh?" Yamaki Moto turned around after hearing this, reached out to take the message, read it quickly, then nodded happily and said proudly: "Tell me the order, the first squadron, the third squadron will gather immediately!"

"Your Majesty, the corps leader asked us to leave a squadron to guard Luodian in the telegram. Why should we gather all the troops together? Is your Majesty not going to leave troops to guard Luodian?" the correspondent asked in confusion.

"Then leave a small team. The corps leader asked us to attack Xiaotang Village from behind. This time we attacked both sides. Xiaotang Village was broken by a blink of an eye. There was no need to leave too many troops to garrison, because our large troops would be able to enter Luodian soon." Yamakimoto pondered for a while and said confidently.

"Hayi!" The communication soldier suddenly lowered his head, then turned around and left quickly.

Five minutes later, the streets in Luodian Town were covered with Japanese soldiers who had just returned to the team in a hurry. Some Japanese soldiers even carried stolen chickens, ducks and other livestock in their hands.

Although the people in Luodian Town had already escaped completely, some domestic animals and other things that were not too late to take away were still snatched by these Japanese as spoils.

More than 200 Japanese were marching in an emergency. At this moment, Major Yamaki Moto walked over with a sabre and a cold look. He glanced at the soldiers present and walked straight towards a Japanese man carrying a lively chicken in his hand.

After strode to the Japanese, Yamakimoto looked up and down, and couldn't help but be furious. He slapped the Japanese fiercely and cursed: "Bagayalu, you are a soldier of the Empire, not a bandit. Our mission has not been completed yet. The warriors of the first team who died an hour ago were not cold. How can we enjoy the spoils here? We want to avenge them! Kill all the abominable Chinese people, and the blood of the warriors will not flow in vain!"

The beaten Japanese devil was slightly moved, decisively threw the live chicken in his hand aside, and suddenly stood up and said: "What the master of the lord is that Bei Zhi is willing to follow the master of the lord, attack Xiaotang Village, and kill all the Chinese people!"

"Invade Xiaotang Village! Kill all the Chinese people!"

"Invade Xiaotang Village! Kill all the Chinese people!"

All the Japanese threw away the spoils in their arms and raised their guns and shouted.

"Yoxi! This is the soldier of the empire, the warrior of His Majesty the Emperor!" Yamakimoto said as he pulled out his command knife and waved forward, "Warriors, kill Gaga! Attack! Attack!"

"Kill!" All the Japanese turned their heads with guns, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Xiaotang Village.
