Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

The devastating news of 068 has arrived.

Suddenly, the sound of cannons boomed from behind the puppet troops.

"Boom boom... ratttttt..."

After a burst of intense gunfire, a group of men appeared behind the puppet troops, throwing the enemy into disarray.

"Damn it...where did these bandits come from...and they even have mortars, damn it...hold them off...rat-a-tat-tat..."

However, the attackers had overwhelming firepower. A single bombardment inflicted heavy losses on the puppet troops, and before long, they were completely routed by the guerrillas' pincer attack. They abandoned corpses, wounded soldiers, and weapons, and fled northeast after Wu Ruhai.

The troops on the north bank were less than 100 meters from the south bank when a guerrilla shouted, "It's our own people, haha...it's Zhang Ergou and his men..." Everyone looked from afar and sure enough, it was them.

Liu Yong had Huang Zhibing lead a group to chase after them for a while, and then left a small team on the south bank of Jiaohe River, leading the newly arrived guerrilla fighters and mortars to the front line of Shangguan Yun's battlefield.

Zhu Zi went to reinforce the battle in the east, where there were two groups of bandits, about a hundred men each, while Qi Chunlin and his men only had forty or fifty men, making their situation very difficult.

Upon arriving, Liu Yong did not find Shangguan Yun and asked, "Where is the commander...?"

A soldier, his face covered in blood, stepped forward and replied, "The commander's assault failed, and he was shot more than ten times. He's currently recuperating in the woods behind us... Waaah... You'd better go check on him quickly, the commander is probably... not going to make it..."

"Huh...what..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and stood there for a long time!

"Impossible... Where is it... Commander, Brother Shangguan... I'm here... Ah..." Liu Yong, as if insane, charged into the woods with a gun in one hand.

No wonder he was not calm. Since he followed Shangguan Yun, too many things have happened, and he has experienced too many life and death. The Songshutun massacre, in which all his family members were killed, and the previous battles have gradually made him grow up. From a teenage hunter, he has now become a guerrilla captain who can stand on his own.

This was undoubtedly due to Shangguan Yun's deep affection for him. Liu Yong, Zhang Zhenfei, and Gao Wei were among Shangguan Yun's earliest and most loyal followers, and naturally, they had the deepest feelings for him. Now, upon hearing the tragic news, how could they not be shocked?

"Stop shouting, I'm not dead yet..." Shangguan Yun shouted when he heard Liu Yong's voice to acknowledge his presence.

Liu Yong rushed to Shangguan Yun's side, "Boss... ah... how are you... you've lost so much blood... ah... does it hurt...?"

Shangguan Yun's face darkened. "Nonsense, I'll poke a few holes in you and see if it hurts... Ouch..."

"But it's alright, what can I do, the Commander-in-Chief, am? It's nothing serious, just a lot of blood loss, I'll be fine after a rest."

Hearing this, Liu Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh...it's good that you're alright. Boss, you can rest here. The enemy at the Jiaohe Bridge has already retreated. My guerrilla reinforcements have arrived, bringing two 70mm mortars and two grenade launchers, hehe..."

"Alright, now we have 12 grenade launchers and 2 70mm mortars. You and Brother Ban go and prepare. In a little while, we'll bombard the stronghold's pillbox."

We charged straight in. I reckon the situation at the mountain stronghold isn't looking good either. If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese are definitely planning something big, deploying their elite forces to take over Songjia Village in Longnan Mountain in one fell swoop. Hmph... well, let's play along..."

A chilling smile crept across Shangguan Yun's lips.

This is the north gate of Songjiazhai at this time.

"Hahaha... Soga... Shangguan Yundi was shot more than ten times and was surrounded by our army in the Dragon King Temple... It's really heaven helping me... Haha... Wang Sang, send someone to tell them this good news... Haha..."

Then a loudspeaker blared outside the North Gate: "Bandits of Songjia Village, listen up! Your commander has been surrounded by the Imperial Army at the Dragon King Temple. Shangguan Yun himself has been shot more than ten times and is already dead. Those who know what's good for them should quickly lay down their weapons and surrender. Surrender and you will not be killed. The Imperial Army will treat prisoners of war well..."

"What... the boss is dead... the commander was shot more than ten times... is it true...?"

Chaos erupted in the village. Just then, Song Xiaoyun and her group arrived at the north gate to transport ammunition. Hearing the shouts outside, everyone was taken aback.

"Nonsense! Don't believe the rumors! How could the commander be surrounded? Be on the defensive!" Zhao Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoyun felt a moment of disorientation and tripped. Zhu Yanping came up to support her and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoyun..."

"It's nothing. Ever since Brother Yun left, I've been feeling uneasy. I didn't sleep at all last night, and I don't know if what they said is true..."

After saying that, his eyes glazed over, and he stood there, staring into the distance.

"Report...Reporting to the company commander, young lady, the scouts down the mountain have brought back a commando soldier, who is said to have broken out to seek reinforcements..."

"Bring it over quickly..." Zhu Yanping shouted.

Soon after, a commando covered in blood was carried to the vicinity of the forward command post.

"Tell me quickly, what happened? How is the situation with the boss..." Zhao Peng asked urgently.

The man was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely. He said intermittently, "Commander... led us... to rescue... the rescue of Laoye Ridge... After successfully rescuing it, we passed by the Dragon King Temple and were surrounded by an enemy force three times our size."

Despite their fierce fighting, they were unable to break through the encirclement. The commander himself was also shot dozens of times and his fate is unknown. We urgently request Company Commander Zhao to send troops to rescue them. It is of utmost urgency...

After saying that, his head tilted to the side, and Zhao Peng stepped forward and shook him, saying, "Brother... Brother..." But the man was spitting out blood and had already died.

Song Xiaoyun shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning. Her legs went weak, her face turned deathly pale, and then she coughed up a mouthful of blood, murmuring:

"No...no...My brother Yun is incredibly wise and brave, a true hero, how could he die so young...uh...pfft..." He then spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted in Zhu Yanping's arms.

Just as Shangguan Yun was preparing to break through the encirclement, he suddenly felt a jolt, and a strange pain shot through his heart, causing him to frown slightly.

"What on earth happened that makes me so uneasy? No... I have to break out of here quickly, or things might get complicated."

Suddenly, "Boom... Rat-a-tat-tat... Kill!"

Gunfire erupted from the southwest, accompanied by shouts of battle.

A force suddenly attacked from behind the Japanese troops. Because Shangguan Yun had confiscated all the heavy weapons in the Japanese pillbox stronghold, the enemy stationed there was extremely frustrated and caught off guard by the attack from behind.

"Looks like Dafei and his men... Haha... Good timing! Brothers, follow me! Take down the Japanese pillbox... Kill them! Rat-a-tat-tat... Boom boom..."
