Victory Beyond Flames Chapter 120

In Zhongtiao Mountain, the screams of flying artillery shells came one after another, and the smoke, earth and rocks scattered all over the sky with the sound of artillery shells.

The remaining troops of the 12th Division of the Kuomintang Army, which had broken out from the Japanese encirclement, were retreating in an orderly manner on the mountain path. Division Commander Fan Xiliang held a pistol and led the guards back and forth among the ranks, trying to organize the remaining troops.

"You! Don't run! Come here!" Fan Xiliang shouted to Zhong Lixian, the commander of the 1st Battalion Machine Gun Company of the 35th Regiment, "How many men have you brought out?"

"Eleven brothers died, the formation is still there, and all the guys have been brought out, but there are fewer artillery shells!" Zhong Lixian reported.
