The devils guarding the city gate stared at the night outside the city in fear, and suddenly the four city gates broke out at the same time with fierce gunfire, the little devil seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately lay down in front of the light and heavy machine guns, pulled the trigger to carry out the most violent fire counterattack, the only group attacking outside the city was strongly blocked by the devils, and the soldiers who rushed in front were shot and fell.

Li Gang, the commander of the only regiment, found that the soldiers who rushed to the front fell in the night, and he roared angrily: "Light and heavy machine gun cover, we must break through the east city gate in the shortest possible time and rescue Commander Lei who is hiding in the city." ”

When the soldiers knew that their Commander Lei was still alive, and directly issued an order in the city to command the only regiment to attack Fuping City, they hugged each other excitedly, hugged their heads and cried: "Commander Lei is still alive, he is in Fuping City, and we can see Commander Lei again." ”

At this time, the soldiers saw their comrades-in-arms who rushed to the front fall under the enemy's guns, and heard Commander Li Gang shouting 'Break through the east city gate and rescue Commander Lei who was hiding in the city'.

The only regiment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked the east city gate launched several attacks, but they were all suppressed by the powerful firepower of the devils and retreated, and the deputy regiment commander Zhang Ting rushed to Li Gang and shouted in a rude tone: "Commander Li, such a strong attack will wipe out the only regiment, why don't you use mortars and grenadiers?" Pull these heavy weapons up quickly, and a few cannons will blast open the city gates, and only in this way can the casualties of the troops be reduced. ”

"You can't use heavy weapons, Commander Lei deployed the assault company to cooperate with the only regiment outside the city to attack inside the east gate, if you use mortars and grenadiers, once the shells fall on the assault company's position, won't it bombard our soldiers? In addition, in order to prepare for the occupation of Fuping City and welcome the entry of the organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Regiment Commander Lei ordered that when attacking Fuping City, he would strive to protect it and try not to destroy the buildings in the city. ”

"Commander Li, there is a premise for Commander Lei to give this order, that is, 'try to protect and not destroy the ...... as much as possible when attacking Fuping City', it is 'try not to destroy', we are now under the city, and we are blocked by the strong fire of the enemy defending the city, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties, if we continue to ......."

At this time, Wang Yushu, the new director of the telecommunications office, rushed to Li Gang and shouted pantingly: "Report to Regiment Commander Li, Regiment Commander Lei has called to inquire about the progress of the siege, I don't know how Regiment Commander Li will report?" Please instruct. ”

Li Gang said simply: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the attack on the East City Gate was blocked, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, so please carry out a heavy weapon attack, Li Gang." ”

After replying to the telegram, he ordered all troops to suspend the attack, immediately move the mortars and grenadiers forward to the east city gate, and once the order was issued, the east city gate should be bombarded with the maximum artillery fire, so as to open the passage for the attacking troops to enter the city.

Besides, Lei Jian looked at his watch and approached 2:47 after midnight, when the hour hand and minute hand pointed at 2:47, and suddenly from the city into the 17th Guanping Street War Horse neighing and the sound of horses' hooves shattered, followed by a sharp gunshot, breaking the silence of Fuping City at midnight, and the battle of the Eighth Route Army's only regiment to storm Fuping City began.

Lei Jian asked the correspondent Xiao Huang: "Hurry up and take a look at the gate of the street, has Feng Guang led the guard platoon to bring the war horse here?" ”

Besides, Feng Guang saw Fang Chao, the instructor of the cavalry battalion, leading the second platoon of the cavalry company to rush into the city brandishing a sabre, and in the dark night, he quickly lost his trace, he didn't dare to delay more in the carriage shop, and ordered Li Daocheng beside him: "Deputy platoon commander Li, leave me three soldiers to guard with me at the gate, you lead the other soldiers to immediately take out the war horses, the time must be fast, once the delay is blocked by the enemy, the guard platoon can't rush back in time to protect the Lei regiment commander and the seriously wounded, then we will make a big mistake, act quickly." ”

The time was very short, Li Daocheng and more than a dozen soldiers rode war horses, and some even led a horse to quickly rush to the gate of the carriage shop, Feng Guang ordered the soldiers around him: "Get on the horse, leave here quickly." ”

Feng Guang rushed out of the carriage shop with more than a dozen soldiers and more than thirty war horses, marched through the streets and alleys in the dark night, and heard fierce gunfire erupting in the city, and these gunshots appeared in different directions from time to time. He shouted in the night: "Instructor Fang led the cavalry soldiers of the second company and the second platoon, this is enjoyable, there is no bustling flow of people in the city, you can rampage at will, as long as you meet the little devil, it is a painful killing, it is really enviable." ”

Fang Chao led a small cavalry unit to attract most of the patrols of the devils in the city, and gave Feng Guang that they could smoothly return to No. 17 Guanping Street under the cover of night, otherwise, they would definitely encounter the enemy patrol on the way back, once the exchange of fire, Lei Jian and them, who were hidden at No. 17 Guanping Street, would lose the protection of the guard platoon, and if the location was exposed and surrounded by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This kind of possibility is not impossible, it really happened that at the moment before the guard platoon arrived at No. 17 Guanping Street, a devil patrol team heard a sensation of horses' hooves in the street in front, and the devil captain who led the team shouted: "Cross Guanping Street and block the fleeing Tuba Road Cavalry, hurry." ”

More than a dozen figures suddenly rushed into Guanping Street, and when they were approaching the seventeenth, the two soldiers in charge of the guard found a few figures running quickly from the east entrance, and shouted in a careless voice: "Is it the Feng platoon commander of the guard platoon or the Fang company commander of the assault company?" ”

Devil Wu Chang is one of the first little devils to step into the Northeast, and for several years he can not only understand, but also speak fluent Chinese, when he heard the call of the soldiers on guard in front of Gate 17, this bastard pinched his voice and asked, "Who are you?" Why didn't I hear which one it was? ”

"I'm Xiao Tang of the guard platoon, listen to your accent ......." Without waiting for Xiao Tang to finish speaking, several black shadows suddenly rushed to him, and the murderous little devil stabbed the two guard soldiers with a bayonet, Xiao Tang used his last strength to pull the trigger when he fell, and a sharp gunshot suddenly sounded on Guanping Street.

Lei Jian, who was sitting in the hall, immediately stood up vigilantly, blew out the kerosene lamp, and ordered in a low voice: "There is an enemy situation at the gate of the street, all the soldiers in the house, quickly rush to the door, and be sure to destroy the little devil who suddenly broke through." ”

Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao rushed forward and grabbed the thunder sword tightly while the thunder sword blew out the kerosene lamp, and shouted in a low voice: "Captain Lei, it's dangerous outside, enter the pit quickly." ”

"Let go of me, if we don't destroy the little devils who broke through, we will be exposed here, once the devils send a large army to surround us and block us in a narrow tunnel with no other exit, no one will survive." Lei Jian said so vigorously from nowhere, his body swayed from side to side, throwing Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao to the ground.

With less than ten warriors, Lei Jian rushed out of the hall and rushed to the door of the street.

The commander of the devil army killed two vigilant soldiers, and concluded that this family must be hiding the senior official of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they would not have set up a guard at the door, and if they rushed in and captured the leader of the Eighth Route Army inside, they would be rewarded for meritorious service.

Several little devils also realized this at the same time, and under the command of the commander, they carefully touched the gate with their guns, and suddenly found that several black shadows rushed out of the hall, and these bastards pulled the trigger and fired.

The soldiers who rushed out of the hall did not expect the little devil to dare to touch the courtyard, and when the enemy suddenly opened fire, he failed to dodge in time, and the three soldiers who rushed in front were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.

Lei Jian shouted: "Get down quickly, you must destroy these little devils, you can't let them escape from Guanping Street alive." "The enemy and us started a fierce battle in the night, the little devil cowered into the yard, and did not withdraw in time when he killed three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and several people who were rushed out of the Lei Jian lay on the ground and shot four little devils, and the other three devils turned around and ran out, just blocked by the guard platoon led by Feng Guang who rushed into the alley.

At this time, Wang Ziming rushed out of the courtyard and shouted to the soldiers on the horses: "Kill these three little devils." ”

The little devil who was blocked by the guard platoon on the way to the road, turned his head and ran back, and was killed by Wang Ziming and several soldiers, and the remaining little devil fled towards the west of the alley with a wolf howl, Feng Guang's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly rushed out, and before he could gallop, he knocked down the little devil who escaped, Feng Guangfei jumped off the war horse, waved the saber and slashed down fiercely, and the devil who was hacked to death by the saber fell to the ground with a scream.

Wang Ziming returned to Lei Jian's side and said: "Commander Lei, it was too dangerous just now, if you hadn't led us to rush out in time to kill these sneak attack devils, once the devils blocked the gate and the devils waiting for reinforcements surrounded us, it would be really unimaginable, fortunately, we should become strong and timely, and make a false alarm." ”

"Is this a false alarm? Lao Wang, we sacrificed two guard soldiers, and when the enemy heard that there was a shootout on Guanping Street, they would soon pounce and order all the personnel in the tunnel to move immediately. Lei Jian ordered decisively.

At this moment, Feng Guang and Li Daoming, who were arranged by Lei Jian to guard at both ends of the alley, rushed into the hall almost at the same time and shouted: "Captain Lei, it's not good, the little devils are blocking from both ends of the alley." ”
