After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Wei met the third battalion commander.
The third battalion commander first expressed his gratitude to Zhang Wei, and then took people to clean up the corpses on the street.
There are about thirty corpses of the national army on the street.
In this battle, the third battalion suffered more than 60 casualties.
When they withdrew into the city, only 200 people were left.
Now they can barely form a company. , the third battalion was unable to hold on to the two buildings Zhang Wei and the others had just recaptured, and could only shrink the front.
After returning to his defense area, Zhang Wei felt that he still had to go to the 23rd Regiment Command Post.
Although the Japanese attack was repelled, it would not be a problem if it continued like this.
When Zhang Wei walked to the command post, a corner of the county government building that served as the command post had been destroyed by artillery shells.
The bodies of the killed soldiers were piled aside.
Zhang Wei hurriedly ran in.
Chen Chunyi couldn't die.
The troops were completely in chaos.
When they went upstairs, Zhang Wei saw that Chen Chunyi was still alive and the second battalion commander was beside him.
Zhang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Chunyi's arm was hit by shrapnel, and the oozing blood dyed his military uniform red.
Chen Chunyi's mood seemed low.
Although the Japanese attack was repelled, it seemed that it could not change his mood in any way.
"Zhang Wei, you're here, let's take a look."
Chen Chunyi asked the major commander around him to hand Zhang Wei a telegram.
Zhang Wei was also shocked after reading it.
After the battle in the Lincheng area, neither the Japanese army nor the Chinese army conducted large-scale combat operations.
The two sides mobilized their troops and sharpened their swords.
They only fought with the troops of the 4th Division in the Yi County area.
The surrounding 4th Division each The troops suffered heavy casualties and had begun to retreat.
This telegram ordered Chen Chun's regiment to retreat quickly and break out of the encirclement.
The telegram also mentioned battles in other directions.
Due to Zhang Wei's arrival, Yi County held on for more than a day.
It was getting late now.
It was this day that gave Tang Enbo time to mobilize his troops.
Another one of the 20th Army The new force, the 52nd Army, is about to arrive on the battlefield, and its leading unit, Zheng Dongguo's Second Division, is assaulting the Lincheng area.
On the other side, the Sakamoto detachment in the Linyi direction was also blocked by the defending Third Army Corps and the 59th Army.
It was difficult to move forward and had to ask for help from the Segu Detachment in the Lincheng direction.
Detachment leader Kei Setani decided to send an infantry brigade of the strengthened 63rd Regiment to attack Taierzhuang.
The main force merged with the rest of the 63rd Regiment and concentrated near Lincheng to start a battle with the 20th Army.
Division Commander Chen Daqing's order to the 23rd Regiment was to quickly break away from contact with the Japanese army, break out and retreat toward Qingshan.
"Zhang Wei, prepare to retreat."
"Yes, Captain."
"Regiment Attachment, notify all battalions and companies in the city below to break out at night."
Chen Chunyi first issued a rally order, and all troops quickly gathered in the neighborhoods near the city gate, and then issued a breakout order.
The organizational capabilities of the national army were not as good as those of the Japanese army, and it took a long time to assemble the chaotic team.
Because it was a breakout, they had to be lightly armed, and all mortars and redundant heavy machine guns had to be blown up.
Dong Erli's was no exception.
Under the "sad eyes" of the owners of these weapons, all the mortars and heavy machine guns were gathered together, and they would be blown up with grenades when they broke through.
"The order of the breakout is as follows, with the second battalion taking the lead, Zhang Wei's independent company in the middle, the third battalion following and leading the regiment to break through, and the remaining soldiers of the first battalion being merged into the third battalion."

Chen Chunyi's arrangement was quite authentic, and he did not allow himself to die.
He also led the regiment to escort him behind.
"The assembly area is in the Qingshan area.
Our division's troops are already there.
Let's prepare to break out."
More than a dozen soldiers from the special agent platoon threw stringed grenades into the pile of mortar shells.
Above them were mortars and heavy machine guns.
After a loud noise, they were all reduced to parts, and the troops of the second battalion also began to get out of the city gate. , touch outside the city.
Dong Erli looked at the pile of scrap metal, as if his feet were filled with lead.
Zhang Wei smiled: "You kid, hurry up and break out.
Once you break out, I will give you two mortars and make you the platoon leader."
"Alas, our mortar squad has to be used as an infantry squad again."
Dong Erli said helplessly, but still took a step forward.
The Japanese troops outside the city also suffered heavy losses after fighting inside and outside the city.
The strength of a brigade was reduced to less than two infantry squadrons, a mountain artillery squadron, and an infantry artillery squad.
The loud noise of the defenders exploding equipment also woke them up.
The vigilant Japanese troops woke up the resting Japanese troops and stared at the city gate.
For safety, they also brought in mountain artillery.
The principle of the 23rd Regiment's breakout is to fight if it can be avoided.
Everyone is trotting in a low profile.
The Japanese observed that the Second Battalion of Kung Fu had already broken out by an entire platoon.
Unfortunately, the defenders' training in night fighting was not enough.
Bayonet holsters and The grocery bags were not fastened and made a lot of noise.
"someone" The Japanese army reacted and began to use their vitality to intercept the officers and soldiers of the 23rd regiment who broke through.
A class of the second battalion that was exposed to the firepower point was strafed and the whole class died.
Zhang Wei ran after him and fired in the general direction without looking.
In this case, he shouldn't have stopped.
"Let's go, don't look back, run away."
Boom, mountain artillery shells came over, and several soldiers from the regiment were thrown away.
They fell to the ground still short of breath, howling unwillingly on the ground, and no one paid attention to them.
Tracer bullets flew up, 92 machine gun bullets swept across, and the fire net of 38 rifles and crooked handles blocked the leakage.
More than a thousand officers and soldiers struggled to survive in the fire net.
The officers and soldiers of the independent company were lucky.
The area between the back of the second battalion and the regiment headquarters was very narrow.
The earlier the firepower arrived, the less lethal it would be, and the more people would survive.
Zhang Wei could still hear the rough voices of Hao Zhong and He Kun.
He couldn't help but worry about whether the troops from the regiment headquarters and the third battalion, who were at the end, plus the radio stations and a large number of non-combatants, could escape this disaster.
Wish yourself luck The Japanese suffered heavy losses during the day, so they only chose to block fire and did not intercept or pursue.
In the boundless night, thousands of Chinese soldiers disappeared at the end of the night.
Zhang Wei didn't know how far he ran.
He just felt that there were fewer and fewer people around him.
Qingshan, running to Qingshan, there was a way to survive wherever he ran.
The next day, early morning.
Zhang Wei was lying on the ground, surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the 23rd Regiment who rushed out.
The independent company was lucky, and almost all of them rushed out.

Only Xu Yi's platoon lost half of the squad's troops.
Everyone was lying on the ground and ran all night.
Almost exhausted.
The people of the 23rd Regiment were rumored to have run away, that is to say, they were broken up.
So far, there has been no news from the regiment headquarters.
They were supported by troops from the 10th Brigade of the 4th Division.
Under their support and cover, the troops withdrew to the mountainous area of Qingshan and occupied favorable terrain.
And enjoyed a rare meal.
"Company commander, how many more of those people can escape, do you think?"
He Kun said.
"I don't know.
I hope Captain Chen is fine."
Zhang Wei counted, not counting his own people, there were about five or six hundred soldiers from the 23rd Regiment who ran out, which meant that there were still the same number of people who were missing.
In addition to those who were killed last night, there should be two hundred more.
There are many people, and the whereabouts of the regiment headquarters are very dangerous.
Zhang Wei and the others were located on the outskirts of Qingshan.
In fact, in the past few days, only the 23rd regiment of the 4th Division had actually fought fiercely with the Japanese.
Chen Daqing once again issued a basic order.
The purpose of this order was very simple.
First, to search for the remaining officers and soldiers of the 23rd Regiment and the regiment headquarters, and secondly, to test the movements of the Japanese army. 190131x80t:
