At the cost of zero casualties, Yang Hongtao led the sixth company to eliminate the devils of the two squads. There are three reasons why they have achieved such results: first, the surprise attack, the devil underestimated the enemy and failed to achieve effective defense; second, the soldiers of the 6th Company were well-trained and had strong firepower; Third, because of hatred, it triggered the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Sixth Company to kill the enemy.

Yang Hongtao returned to Teng County with the Sixth Company. At this time, Shao Fei and Lu Zhi were waiting at the gate of the city. As for Liu Ying, she couldn't pull away at all, and was busy treating the Sichuan soldiers who were injured today.

After Lu Zhi saw Yang Hongtao, she rushed forward desperately and hugged her hard.

"I'm worried to death."

"I'm fine. Didn't this come back in good condition? ”

Yang Hongtao pushed Lu Zhi away, and then saluted Shao Fei: "Report!" All members of the Sixth Company were brought back, and there were no casualties. Eliminate two squads of Japanese troops south of the woods. ”

Yang Hongtao's report surprised and admired the surrounding Sichuan soldiers. Subsequently, Yang Hongtao gave the captured equipment to the Sichuan army in Xicheng.

After finishing the matter, Shao Fei called Yang Hongtao aside alone.

"It's a big fight."

Yang Hongtao's face was expressionless: "Big brother, I can now understand your feelings in Nanjing."

"Nanjing." Shao Fei smiled bitterly and said, "That's the last place I want to remember in my life."

Seeing Shao Fei's bitter face, Yang Hongtao understood the pain, so he didn't mention tonight's incident.

After Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he began to be serious: "Let's get down to business." Judging from the current battle situation, it is difficult for the Sichuan army to hold Tengxian, and the Japanese army will break the city tomorrow. You should always be ready to break out of the siege, and if conditions allow, bring more wounded from the Sichuan army that cannot fight. ”

After Yang Hongtao nodded, he said, "I know the trade-off. But big brother, aren't you going to act with us? ”

Shao Fei replied: "Tomorrow will be a chaotic situation, and I can't guarantee that we will be able to meet you." The Japanese attack on the south gate does not seem to be fake, if you can't get out of the west city, you will go to the north gate, but the retreat direction is still the mountains and forests in the west. But the woods may not be safe, you must go into the mountains and find favorable terrain to settle down. Don't forget to leave a mark. ”

"I understand. It's just that these Sichuan troops ......"

Yang Hongtao sighed, unwilling to continue. Shao Fei is the same, the historical fate of Teng County will not change because of a special combat team and a company.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of March 17, the Japanese bombed the whole city with 50 to 60 artillery pieces and more than 20 aircraft.

The county seat was filled with gunsmoke for a while, and the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed. The collapsed buildings in the streets were piled up into small hills. The original stone-paved streets were blown into deep pits, and the whole city was in flames and scorched earth everywhere.

Two hours after the Japanese bombardment, they began to attack Dongguan.

Today is different from yesterday, the Japanese army used the armored forces that arrived as early as last night.

Previously, the 10th Wing of the Japanese Army had to avoid the real and outflank, bypassing the frontal position, while the armored units were on standby in the rear.

Last night, Wang Mingzhang withdrew and returned to all the outer troops, and the Japanese armored units arrived one after another.

More than a dozen tanks lined up side by side from the east, followed closely by rows of devil soldiers.

Tucker drove a short distance below the city and launched an artillery bombardment above the city walls. After many Sichuan soldiers were hit, they fell along with the bricks on the city wall. The entire city defense position was shrouded in gunsmoke.

A large number of devil soldiers behind Tucker began to attack the city with ladders. The Sichuan soldiers who were still alive on the city wall fought back, but as long as there was still a breath of air, they used their last strength to pull the trigger to emit the last light of their lives.

Both sides fought bloodily for an hour, and in the end, the defenders were almost completely killed and wounded because the enemy was outnumbered.

At this time, the city defense positions could not replenish their forces in time. The vanguard of the Japanese army was about to rush to the city, and the defense of the eastern front was in danger.

Zhang Xuanwu immediately ordered the 731st Regiment to draw out a battalion of troops to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the devils to recapture the position at the head of the city.

At this time, the 731st Regiment was collapsing and fighting fiercely with the devils. Due to the high slope of the collapse, the tanks could not advance and could only attack with infantry.

The strength of the 731st Regiment was overstretched. After receiving the order, the commander of the 731st Regiment still stubbornly sent more than 200 people to reinforcements.

At this time, more than 100 people in the vanguard of the devils climbed the city wall. At this critical moment, the soldiers of the 731st Regiment arrived in time and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the devils above the city wall.

There were only cries of killing and screams on the city. After many Sichuan soldiers were stabbed, they directly hugged the devil and jumped off the city tower and died with the enemy.

Both on the city tower and under the city walls, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up. These Sichuan soldiers used their young lives to describe the tragedy that only belonged to them.

The devils kept climbing up the city tower through the ladder, and the reinforcements of the Sichuan army kept coming. After a desperate battle, the Sichuan soldiers reluctantly recaptured the position of the city tower with their bravery and senselessness.

Corpses had already filled the position, and the shoes under the soldiers' feet had long been soaked with blood.

The flames of war are raging, but the smoke of gunfire is still there.

The 731st Regiment was unable to support its strength because it had withdrawn 200 troops, and a large number of devil soldiers rushed through the collapse.

"Throw a grenade!"

The regiment commander ordered loudly, and the Sichuan soldiers, who had less than three hundred left, threw out their grenades one after another.

After a roar, the 731st Regiment charged. The soldiers of the whole regiment raised their broadswords and jumped into the enemy group and slashed.

"Let's go!"

Shao Fei, who was not far from the rear, quickly rushed over with the special combat team and joined the battle circle.

The special combat team members had long been moved by the bravery of the Sichuan army, and they all marched forward bravely and killed the place where the devils were most concentrated. They are like killing gods, the sword is bloody, and the knife is deadly.

The devil soldiers have never seen this kind of fighting: holding short knives in their hands, working in pairs, staggering attacks. Once you get close to them, you can only suffer the fate of being killed in seconds.

The devil began to be timid and retreat because of the special combat team's almost crazy killing methods.

"Don't go back! Kill me! ”

The rear devil command shouted loudly, and now the morale must not fall into the bottom line.

"Bang!" One shot. A bullet shot straight at him, hitting the five-pointed star on the hat of the devil commander, killing him instantly. Xiucai didn't participate in this battle, he hid in a commanding height and was responsible for sniping the devils who came in from the collapse.

"Kill!" "Ahh “……”

Suddenly, a company of Sichuan soldiers arrived from the rear. Zhang Xuanwu knew that the troops in the area around the collapse were insufficient, so he quickly sent troops to support.

Because of the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the soldiers of the 731st Regiment who were fighting was greatly boosted, and they were more courageous in killing the enemy. Not long after, the battle ended with the victory of the Sichuan army.

The head of the 731st Regiment walked up to Shao Fei and praised: "I thought you would grab the law, but I didn't expect the killing method to be so neat." Thanks to you this time. ”

"It's over." Shao Fei chuckled, and then said, "After cleaning up the battlefield, ask your people to carry all the corpses of the devils to block the collapse." First, it can play a deterrent role; Second, it takes a little more effort to tell the devil to climb up. ”

"Okay, I'll call someone to do it."

After speaking, the head of the regiment saluted Shao Fei to show his gratitude, and then left to start the things Shao Fei explained.

Shao Fei looked at this bloody battlefield and felt a lot. But he didn't know that a few hours later, the city defense would be broken through by the devils. And Liulian and Liu Ying will also face a desperate crisis.
