That evening, after dinner, the fighters rested for a while. Liu Hong felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately gathered the soldiers and set off.

When they heard that they were going to fight the little devils, the soldiers were very active and excited.

When the military engineering team marched to a fork in the road, Liu Hong suddenly ordered the troops to advance in the southeast direction.

Zhao Lei was puzzled, ran to Liu Hong and asked, "Aren't we going to Hengshui?" Why take a detour. ”

Liu Hong explained with a smile: "Do you think that little devils are all fools? We just attacked the artillery position of the devils during the day, could they be defenseless, if we go again now, it will be self-defeating. ”

Zhao Lei understood, nodded and said, "Then what are we going to the southeast for?" ”

"Go around to the east of Hengshui City, or simply go around to the south of the city. The little devils are besieging Hengshui on all sides, mainly attacking the north, and there are fewer little devils on the other three sides, so we can just do it. Liu Hong explained with a smile.

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Avoiding the real is false!" It's still the captain's thoughts. ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "If we raid the east or south, if the devil's troops are too small, they will definitely transfer troops from the north to support, so that the little devils can be busy running around and unable to concentrate their forces to attack Hengshui, our main task now is to delay time and gradually consume the little devils, so that we can have hope of victory." ”

Liu Hong took the martial arts team to bypass Hengshui City from the southeast, although this would definitely cause more walking, thus delaying time, but it was not yet late at night, and it was still early, and Liu Hong was not afraid of delaying this time.

After coming to the east of the city, Liu Hong ordered the troops to hide in a forest for a while, and he took two scouts to quietly approach the Japanese camp to inquire about the situation.

Liu Hong lay in a bush and carefully observed for a while, judging from the number of devils' tents, there are not too many devils in Dongcheng, only about three squadrons or so, and the barracks are empty, it seems that the devils have fallen asleep, Liu Hong nodded secretly, so he decided to do it in the east of the city.

So Liu Hong quietly retreated, rushed back to join the troops, summoned Bai Ling, Zhao Lei and others, and introduced the situation to them.

Zhao Lei said excitedly: "In this case, let's do it here!" ”

Bai Ling hurriedly said: "It's okay to fight, but don't let me answer this time." ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "Okay!" This time, let Lao Zhou take the third squadron to take charge of the response, and the two of you will go with me to attack the camp. ”

Zhou Wenxuan hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

Liu Hong commanded with a serious face: "Prepare to fight immediately, ready to go at any time." ”

At this moment, several crisp gunshots suddenly rang out in the direction of the city gate, followed by a dense burst of gunfire and explosions.

Looking at the large firelight rising outside the city, Liu Hong couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said with a frown: "Not good! The little devils attack at night. ”

Zhao Lei glanced at the binoculars, and couldn't help but scold: "These little devils are also good at learning, and they will sneak attack at night." ”

Liu Hong frowned and said, "No wonder the devil's camp is so quiet, it turns out that they all went to the forward position to sneak attack." ”

At this time, gunshots and explosions were also heard in the south of the city, north of the city, and west of the city.

Liu Hong frowned and thought about it, and said with a serious face: "The little devil sneak attack, that's just right, let's take the opportunity to stab their chrysanthemum!" Brethren, get ready to go! ”

……

On the Japanese position in the city, Yamazaki Ryosuke observed the scene on the battlefield with a telescope, and a sneer couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth: "Yo Xi! Today, let these hateful rebels see the power of our Imperial Japanese Army, and after the defeat of Hengshui, I will cut all these rebels to pieces, and I want to see who else dares to betray my Imperial Japanese Army. ”

"Hello! He believed that under the wise leadership of His Excellency the General, the Imperial Army would be able to take Hengshui City as soon as possible and put down the rebellion. Tanaka Nakasa said with a flattering face.

"Yo Xi!" Yamazaki Yusuke smiled and nodded and said, "Tanaka-kun, how is the artillery position?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency General, the humble post has ordered people to ambush near the artillery position, if the martial arts team dares to come, this time they will definitely be unable to escape." Tanaka Nakasa swore a promise.

Yamazaki Yusuke smiled and nodded and said, "Liu Hong is treacherous and cunning, and he usually doesn't take risks easily, I guess he won't dare to come again." If I can take the opportunity to take Hengshui City tonight, then the imperial army will be able to free up its hands to deal with the martial arts team. ”

"Your Excellency, you see, the Imperial Army has rushed to the rebels' positions." At this time, Tanaka Nakasa shouted excitedly.

Yamazaki Yusuke hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a group of Japanese soldiers, who had taken the lead in rushing to the Chinese army position outside the city, and launched a fierce white-knuckle fight with the Chinese soldiers on the position.

"Yo Xi!" Yamazaki Yusuke smiled and nodded and said: "As long as the position is broken, the people of China will no longer be able to stop the footsteps of the imperial army, first take the position outside the city, and then Hengshui City." ”

The Japanese army besieged the city, Zhao Jinglin did not dare to be careless, rested on the north gate tower that night, and just fell asleep when he woke up to the sound of guns outside the city, and learned that the devil was attacking.

Zhao Jinglin hurriedly called Zhu Yaohui of the command headquarters, and said with an anxious face: "The little devil sneak attack, I will take the brothers to resist with all their strength on the north city gate, and the other three gates will be handed over to you to coordinate and command, and all the troops will be sent up, if the position outside the city cannot be held, retreat to the city, and you must hold the city wall defense line." ”

"Don't worry! Even if he died, the little devil would never want to step into the city gate half a step. Zhu Yaohui swore and promised.

Zhao Jinglin hurriedly hung up the phone and shouted: "The guard company gathers and follows me out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

The situation was urgent, Zhao Jinglin did not dare to delay, and immediately gathered more than 100 soldiers from the guard company and hurried out of the city to support the positions outside the city.

At this time, the little devil had broken through the position, and the two armies fell into a tragic white-knuckle battle.

The little devil's offensive was extremely ferocious, and the Chinese army could not resist it at all, and the little devils were defeated and retreated one after another, and the situation was already extremely critical.

Zhao Jinglin looked at the soldiers who were gradually retreating, and was furious, raised his gun and fired several shots in the air.

The sound of gunfire temporarily frightened the retreating soldiers, and Zhao Jinglin shouted loudly: "Brothers! Behind us is Hengshui City, we are already surrounded by little devils, if we don't defeat the little devils, we all have to die, we have no choice but to fight to the death with the little devils. ”
