The scene was similar to when the scout team encountered the Japanese army.

The soldiers first heard the sound of approaching horse hooves, and then at a certain moment, a tall horse spitting out clouds of white mist appeared in the field of vision.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious faces of the Japanese soldiers on horseback and their sabers raised high caught everyone's attention.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

At this time, the distance between the two sides was already extremely close. If it hadn't been for the thick snow on the road, Gu Quan and his brothers might not have had time to react.

Everyone pulled the trigger at that moment, and the snowflakes flying in the sky were melted by the dense rain of bullets, turning into water droplets a few meters above the ground.

The dense rain of bullets was like a sickle, and the forty or fifty war horses that rushed out of the wind and snow all fell to the ground in a few seconds.

"Speed!!!"

The Japanese commander's cries came from the wind and snow.

After hearing the order, the slowly charging Japs bypassed both sides of the 354th Regiment. The soldiers heard the sound of dense horse hooves coming from the wind and snow, but could not see the shadow of the Japs cavalry.

"Bang bang bang..."

In such a tense state, the soldiers mechanically fired in the direction where the sound was heard.

There was no longer a Japs cavalry in sight. Gu Quan knew that the little Japs were hiding in the snow and wanted to bite the weak spot in the 354th Regiment's defense line.

He was anxious but helpless.

"Ahh..."

"Baga..."

In the middle of the horses in front lay two or three wounded Japanese soldiers. Because they fell directly from the horses, their bones were broken, and they were struggling and screaming.

"Bang bang bang..."

Gu Quan walked out of the defense line with a frosty face, and pulled the trigger in front of the wounded Japanese soldier who was still screaming.

"Stay in your respective positions and don't move around. Hold on, Chief of Staff Xie will definitely come to save us!"

As soon as Gu Quan finished speaking, screams and gunshots rang out from the left and right wings of the defense line.

The screams became louder and louder, but the gunshots gradually became sparse.

"Kill!!"

The Japanese cavalry shouted wildly. They formed a small team of three or five horses and attacked the two wings of the 354th Regiment's defense line from all directions.

Because they were already in extreme panic, the soldiers on both wings finally couldn't resist the crazy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese cavalry.

The company and platoon-level officers fled first, and then the soldiers on both wings began a rout and a great escape.

At this life-or-death moment, the instinct to escape defeated a man's self-esteem, and his belief in protecting his family and country became an empty slogan.

Seeing that the roundabout tactics on both sides were effective, the Japanese cavalry urged their horses to chase and kill the fleeing people, raising and lowering their sabers.

Dots of bright red patches suddenly appeared between the crystal clear sky and earth, as if one red flower after another was painted on the beautiful girl's skin.

"Captain, the little devil is here!"

The third battalion commander stumbled over from the right, followed by a dozen soldiers with disheveled clothes and incomplete weapons behind him.

The third battalion commander stopped in front of Gu Meng, but the soldiers behind him ran away from other directions.

"Bang!"

Gu Quan's pistol fired, and a bloody hole the size of a thumb suddenly appeared on the third battalion commander's forehead.

The surrounding soldiers were shocked. The third battalion commander had been with the regiment commander for four or five years, but the regiment commander beat him to death without hesitation.

Gu Quan looked around and found that there were only about 300 soldiers around him. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and gritted his teeth and said:

"Brothers, you can only survive if you stand firm!

How can your feet outrun the little devil's cavalry in the snow?

Escape is a dead end!

You all stay here with me to kill the Japanese. If anyone tries to escape again, the Third Battalion Commander’s appearance will be his fate!”

More and more Japanese cavalry rushed out of the heavy snow, but they seemed to have no interest in taking care of this group of people, and they rushed towards the two wings with howls.

"What a bastard!"

Gu Quan cursed angrily, looking at the situation now, most of those 1,200 brothers are already in danger.

Listening to the wild shouts and laughter around them, the last 300 soldiers of the 354th Regiment gathered tightly around Gu Quan.

The light and heavy machine guns kept firing at the Japanese figures flying past on both sides. Sometimes, if you were lucky, you could kill a few horses or a few small Japanese.

Gradually, the laughter, gunshots and screams disappeared, and the surroundings fell into the same silence as before.

"Captain, has the little devil left?"

The guard company commander asked with trembling lips.

Gu Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head. The little devil would definitely not let go of this big piece of fat. It would be their turn after the brothers who were running around were eaten.

The eyes of the brothers were filled with unconcealable horror. Gu Quan's eyes swept over everyone, and he spoke calmly:

"Brothers, we may not be able to get out today!"

"It's all because of my bad luck. I wanted to lead you to a good fight, but God is not as good as man! When we get to the underworld, my brothers can beat me and scold me as much as they like. I promise not to fight back!"

The soldiers held their rifles tightly with both hands, tears glistening in their eyes.

Gu Quan's expression turned solemn and his voice became louder.

"You have also seen the fate of those brothers who escaped just now. We are Shanxi men and Chinese soldiers. Even if we die, we will die vigorously and we will never be cowards!"

"Now listen to my order, everyone bayonets! Kill the Japanese!"

The soldiers' hands were already a little stiff from the cold. They awkwardly took out the bayonets hanging on their waists, and then attached the bayonets to their rifles with difficulty.

Looking at the tall figure at the front, the soldiers took a deep breath and prepared to fight the little devil.

Kimura Jiuzang and Fujita Shigeru personally led 500 cavalry to surround Gu Quan and others.

Looking at the looming black spot in the wind and snow, Kimura Jiuzou said:

"This army is definitely not the main force of Jiangdong. Except for the commander who has some talents, the soldiers are all vulnerable and are no different from other Chinese armies.

Fujita-kun, we have been delayed here for more than 40 minutes, please quickly deal with the enemies in front!"

"Hey!" Fujita Shigeru's face was ferocious, he grinned and said bitterly:

"Gather all the grenade launchers in the regiment. I want to hear the grenade launcher at the front. The man groans under the gunfire!"

The Japanese cavalry regiment has nearly 40 grenade launchers. After the commander of the regiment gave the order, more than 30 grenade launchers were placed in front of the cavalry in a short period of time.

"Fire!!!" Shigeru Fujita roared.

More than 30 grenades hit the 354th Regiment's final position at the same time.

"Boom boom boom..."

Balls of fire exploded on the battlefield, and the rolling heat wave melted the snowflakes in the air. A light rain began to fall all over the place.

"kill!!!"

After the grenadier soldiers fired three rounds of grenades, they quickly withdrew to the rear. Shigeru Fujita personally led five hundred cavalrymen and charged towards the chaotic 354th Regiment position as fast as they could run in the snow.

The saber whistles and the war horse neighs!

Gu Quan was buried in the snow blown up by the artillery shell. When he pulled his head out of the snow, a cavalryman was already slashing and killing him crazily on the position.

"ah!"

The soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Some of their heads were chopped off by sabers, and some were trampled to pieces by horses' hooves.

Not far from Gu Quan, his guard company commander was dragging one leg and crawling hard on the ground. Gu Quan saw the white bones exposed from the guard company commander's broken leg.

"Little devil, I'll fuck your grandma!"

The situation on the battlefield was irreversible. Gu Quan angrily picked up a light machine gun nearby and pulled the trigger on the Japanese who was about to ride his horse and trample the commander of the guard company.

"Da da da..."

The hot bullets drove into the bodies of the war horses and Japanese soldiers with Gu Quan's anger.

After dealing with this enemy, he turned his gun and shot at the Japs cavalry in other directions. He quickly used up the dozen bullets in the magazine!

The Japanese cavalry had been paying attention to this Chinese officer. After seeing him run out of bullets, they swarmed in from all directions.

"There are no cowards in the Jinsui Army!"

Gu Quan casually picked up a rifle with a bayonet and showed no fear in the face of the charging Japanese.

"ah!!!"

At the moment of the collision, both sides roared.

The saber and the bayonet met, and several small sparks were produced from the collision.

Just as he blocked a blow from the cavalry in front of him, Gu Quan heard the sound of horse hooves from behind again. He had no time to react, and the saber slashed hard on his back.
