Liao Fan woke up and fell into a deep sleep again in less than three hours, his body was too weak, and he simply didn't have enough energy to support him to stay awake for too long, Fu Hongyu was a doctor, she knew Liao Fan's physical condition very well, and she was not worried about Liao Fan's appearance.

Sun Boyong of the Logistics Department has already begun to send the materials hoarded in the Taihang Mountain garrison to Yingxian County from afar, and then the troops of Yingxian County will send the combat materials to Datong.

The situation in Datong has improved, Liu Chundao, who took over a mess, is so busy that he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, running around, like a firefighting captain, where there is a situation, he will take the troops to check where it is.

What made Liu Chundao happy was that his efforts were not in vain, Li Weimin's soldiers were all assembled, and the troops were no longer stragglers, although many of the formations in Li Weimin's army no longer existed, but the surviving soldiers still accounted for the majority than the soldiers who died in battle.

Datong also has a road to the outside world, which not only solves the problem of ammunition in Datong, but also solves the problem of wounded soldiers and citizens, and more than eighty percent of Datong's citizens have fled.

Five days after entering the city, Liu Chundao received bad news about Song Zuyi, the officials left by the Datong Municipal Government Resources were busy dealing with all kinds of big and small things in Datong, and they didn't even have time to go back to their homes at night, and they didn't have time to go to the office.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the corpses began to decompose, and in this hot weather, the corpses could not be held for three days, and at first, they thought it was the stench of the decomposing corpses of the soldiers who died in battle or the corpses in the south of the city.

However, after today's rapid treatment, the corpses piled up in the city have already been cremated and buried, but they can still smell a corpse smell, especially when they walk in front of the city hall, this smell is particularly pungent.

When a lower-level official of the city government walked into the office and found Song Zuyi's body, everyone realized that Song Zuyi had not been seen for several days after leaving, and it was obvious that he had committed suicide after leaving that day.

It stands to reason that Liu Chundao and Song Zuyi have little to do with each other, the two have never met, let alone spoke, and have never even heard each other's names, but Liu Chundao learned that Datong City could be saved, and they were able to enter the city.

The most important thing is that Liu Chundao saw two letters left by Song Zuyi on the table, and a soldier who had fought from Dahongkou in Taihang Mountain to the present left tears.

Song Zuyi is not a soldier, let alone a member of the New 33rd Army, but he did all this, worthy of the country, worthy of the people, and worthy of his conscience in the middle, he should not have died, if Liao Fan stood here, he would also say that Song Zuyi should not die, and then for the reputation of the New 33rd Army, he calmly chose to die.

An outsider will defend the New 33rd Army, and these soldiers should serve the country with their lives.

Song Zuyi's body was cremated alone, and he was also buried alone, and his purpose was under a willow tree in the south of the city.

In order to motivate the soldiers to resist the enemy, Liu Chundao specially made up a perfect story background for Song Zuyi, anyway, this story is very inspiring, and the soldiers are even more excited when they hear it, and they swear to defend Datong to the death.

However, the morale was there, but the battle plan was still not smooth, and three of the four battalions in charge of the detour were blocked and evacuated, and one battalion was ambushed by the Japanese in the city, and if reinforcements had not arrived in time, they would have almost been wiped out.

Liu Chundao felt that it was no longer possible to fight like this, these soldiers of Li Weimin's division had not had a good rest since they attacked the Great Wall defense line, and now they have been fighting with the Japanese army in the city for so long, their physical strength has reached the limit, and it is likely that there will be problems if they continue like this.

"Change the guard!"

Liu Chundao finally decided to change the defense, and now the situation in the south of Datong has been stabilized, and his troops are now only responsible for defense outside the south of the city.

And the troops in the city not only have to defend but also organize counterattacks, but also have to be careful of the infiltration of the little devils, and the materials and ammunition in their hands have bottomed out, and they need to repair and replenish, so Liu Chundao thought of changing the guard, pulling their soldiers up, and fighting with the little devils, and the soldiers under his command also need a battle to hone it. Changing guards is a win-win-win-win thing.

But now Liu Chundao has a problem to consider, that is, how to change the defense will not let the little devil know, in case the little devil knows that they are changing the guard, take advantage of their unpreparedness to have a sneak attack, it is a trivial matter to have a loss, if the defense line collapses, it will be over.

For this reason, Liu Chundao has to plan carefully, and he wants to do this quietly in a quiet way. Of course, the time should be set at night, because only night can provide better cover for the troops.

But 100% safety is not guaranteed at night, and with such a long defense line in Datong City, changing defenses is not a trivial matter.

"Tell the troops on the front line that from the moment they receive the order to launch an offensive on the whole front, they can advance one meter is one meter! To be able to fight for a house is to be out of a house! If the battle goes well, they will be able to change their guard and rest at eight o'clock tonight! ”

If you want to hide people's eyes, you must let the little devils have an illusion first, and let the Japanese know that they are attacking, not changing defenses.

Hearing the order conveyed by the command, the soldiers were more concerned not about the attack, but about the fact that they could finally withdraw from the front line, since Li Weimin fell ill, they were worried all day long, and they were struggling to support on the front line, and now they can finally have time to rest, and the real soldiers think of hot meals, and even take a bath or sleep for a whole day without anyone turning it off.

"Brothers, there are still more than five hours until eight o'clock in the evening, and we must not let the little devil live an easy life in these five hours, after this battle, after I go back, I will invite everyone to drink!"

Every battalion commander on the front line is under a lot of pressure, first of all, they are the generals of the defeated army, if it weren't for Liu Chundao and his troops to kill in time, whether they can live now is still two words, even if they go back alive, they can't see those old brothers of the New 33rd Army.

"Da Da Da"

The soldiers on the front line alternately covered and began to attack the Japanese fortifications, and the Japanese troops stuck to their houses, and they were already familiar with the streets of the occupied urban areas, so the new 33rd Army and the Japanese army faced each other, and it was to see who had better combat effectiveness between the two sides.

"The two houses in front of the target, the heavy machine gun and mortar crews left cover, and the others rushed after me!" The battalion commander had put life and death aside, and he personally led his troops to start an attack on the Japanese army.

In fact, there is only one platoon of troops around the battalion commander, and the other troops are scattered in other combat areas in the city, after all, the more concentrated the troops in street fighting, the easier it is to cause casualties, and it is enough for a platoon to attack the houses defended by the Japanese army, after all, it is very difficult for the Japanese troops to support each other in the city where there are houses apart.

"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang"

The Japanese began to hide in bunkers and launched a counterattack against the charging Chinese soldiers.

"Lie down!"

After sacrificing a few soldiers, all the soldiers lay down on the spot and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

"Boom Boom"

The remaining mortar group discovered the Japanese fire point and immediately used mortars to strike at the Japanese fire point, covering the charge of the troops, and the heavy machine guns also aimed at the Japanese fire point for non-stop fire.

"Rush!"

The soldiers and the little devils fought house by house, and the Japanese army's will to fight was also tenacious, they did not receive the order to retreat, and they would not take a step back until they died in battle.

Every house, every street, has to pay with lives to be able to get it back.

The Japanese commander urgently mobilized the troops in the city to support the various battles, and the fierce counterattack of the Chinese army was already expected by them, after all, only one side of the battle could make it out of Datong alive, and it was the Chinese soldiers who must have fallen, not them.

Although the little devils are confident, they are also struggling to support, because they have been holding their positions for many days, although there is no shortage of supplies, the Japanese army is also physically and mentally exhausted, and continuous combat is a huge test of a unit's ability to bear.

The houses held by the Japanese began to fall under the fierce attack of the Chinese soldiers, but the Chinese army was the attacking side after all, and the Chinese soldiers suffered many casualties in such a harsh combat environment.

Datong in summer has lost its former vitality, and even rats are missing in this land, only the heat remains. It was only about seven o'clock in the evening that it gradually became dark, and because of the line of sight, the attack of the Chinese army gradually eased.

"Boom" "Click"

Still, gunshots and explosions rang out somewhere in the city, and only vague outlines could be seen in the night, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and the soldiers could no longer tell whether the enemy was in front of them or the bombed-out ruins.

The city of Datong finally quieted down at the arrival of the night, the night silence was terrible, and occasionally a few flares were fired into the sky, illuminating a tragic corner of Datong.

The two sides fought for more than four hours, completely exhausting the last bit of physical strength, and even the night attack that was originally planned was canceled, because the little devils were too tired, and after arranging the night sentry, many of the little devil soldiers had already fallen asleep.

On the contrary, the Chinese soldiers on the front line are very energetic, because they have to change their guards and repair, and they can finally rest, and their nerves that have been tense for many days can also be relaxed.

Liu Chundao wanted this effect, he made the little devils tired, so tired that he couldn't care about the movements of their troops, only in this way could he be able to do it well.

"Order the troops to start changing their guards, and tell all the fighters that before entering the position, whoever dares to make a little noise, Lao Tzu will shoot him first!"

In the dead of night, the Japanese army has entered the dream, but the Chinese soldiers are moving in a nervous and orderly manner, and the officers under Liu Chundao are even more excited, for such a long time, they can finally fight the little devils head-on, they are not the supporting roles in this war, but the protagonists.
