Fang Chao, the instructor of the cavalry battalion, led the second platoon of cavalry soldiers to rush out of a street and bravely kill the two devil squads that surrounded the assault company.

Several war horses rushed in front, and the fierce little devils left the ground thirty or fifty centimeters apart and shot the war horse, the war horse was hit by the enemy's machine gun bullets, and the front body rushed forward, and the whole war horse stumbled to the ground, throwing out the warrior on the war horse and falling to the ground.

These cavalry warriors who have fought with the enemy on the battlefield do not know how many times, when the war horse is hit by the enemy's bullet and instantly rushes forward and stumbles to the ground, the warrior is ready to leave the saddle, and quickly leaves the fallen war horse with the inertial impact, and is not pressed under the horse that rolls over, but is thrown off the horse and stumbles on the ground at the moment, quickly rolls on the ground to avoid the enemy's bullets, and looks for something to hide in the rolling.

The warrior who was hit on the war horse rolled behind the concealment and quickly began to counterattack with his gun, intending to cover the rapid withdrawal of the second platoon of cavalry behind with maximum firepower.

Fang Chao, the instructor of the cavalry battalion, rushed forward, and saw that several war horses were hunted by cunning devils with thirty or fifty kilometers of guns on the ground, and several war horses that rushed in front were hit and stumbled and rolled on the ground.

Pounced on the second platoon of cavalry surrounding the devils of the assault company, the war horse in front of him was shot and fell to the ground, turned the horse's head in Fang Chao's urgent 'pull', and rushed out in the oblique spurs of each other.

The second platoon of cavalry, which had withdrawn from the range of enemy fire, reined in its horses in the darkness of the night, and waited for the instructor to give a new order to attack.

Fang Chao ordered the soldiers: "All the war horses are hidden close to the enemy, but do not expose the target, stagger each other so as not to hurt their own people, aim at the little devil who is besieging the assault company, and start hunting." ”

He led a cavalry squad to rush to another street intersection, hiding in the night to aim at the little devils, pulling the trigger and shooting the devils who were stepping up the siege of the assault company.

Commander Captain Ikeda, who had surrounded the assault company in the two courtyards, saw the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army repulsed, and he arrogantly brandished his command knife and shouted, "All the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army must narrow the encirclement with the most courageous bushido spirit and destroy all the Tsuchipachi who are hiding in the two courtyards." ”

Just when Squadron Commander Ikeda thought that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army would not dare to harass again, and ordered his troops to attack the trapped assault company, suddenly, in the darkness of the night in two places, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on war horses, under the cover of night, condescendingly aimed at the devil troops lying on the ground and attacked the assault company, shooting the enemy with the most fierce firepower.

Seeing that the enemy who had been surrounded by cavalry fire again, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang ordered the soldiers of the assault companies in the two courtyards to strike at the enemy's weak firepower with the most ferocious firepower, and once the time was ripe, under the cover of the cavalry battalion, they would do everything to kill the enemy's encirclement.

Squadron Leader Ikeda saw the Eighth Route Army's cavalry squad disperse its fire to attack and harass his troops, and this cunning fellow ordered a squad to be drawn up to deal with the Eighth Route Army's cavalry team, and another squad to attack the assault company surrounded in the courtyard, and the Eighth Route Army unit must be eliminated.

The two squads of the devil dealt with the infantry cavalry of the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and the strength and firepower were temporarily restrained, Wang Xiaoliang saw that the time was ripe, and ordered the assault company to prepare to kill out of the encirclement, he brandished a pistol and shouted: "Prepare to break through." ”

The little devil who counterattacked the cavalry team, under the command of the leader of the devil squad, quickly repelled the cavalry team of the Eighth Route Army, which was holding back the firepower and strength, and immediately turned around and carried out a fire strike on the assault company again.

The second platoon of cavalry, which was forced to withdraw from the enemy's firepower, saw in the darkness that the encircled assault company was quickly suppressed by the devil's firepower and could not launch a counterattack, so it could only passively respond to the devil's tactics of narrowing the encirclement and approaching step by step. The situation of the assault company surrounded in the courtyard is becoming more and more dangerous, and if the rescue is not done in time, the assault company is very likely to be completely annihilated.

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer to the courtyard they occupied, and those who were close could see the general figure of the enemy, and at this time, the weapons and ammunition of the assault company had basically been consumed.

Wang Xiaoliang shouted to the soldiers of the assault company: "Comrades of the assault company, we have reached the last moment of running out of ammunition, now everyone is ready to fight the enemy to the end, listen to my command and bravely kill out, do you have the confidence to fight the enemy with our lives to the last moment?" ”

"Yes, there are ——。"

Wang Xiaoliang grabbed the spear of the sacrificed soldier beside him, stood majestically among the soldiers, looked at the soldiers in the night and said: "Comrades, comrades-in-arms, my good brothers, today is the day when the assault company and our only regiment say goodbye, our biggest regret is that we did not see the defeat of the little devil, we are glorious gone, but the only regiment soldier who is still alive will definitely kill more devils for us under the leadership of Commander Lei, until the day when the little devil is defeated."

You see, the little devil has come up, come on brother, follow me out ....... Just when Wang Xiaoliang was about to lead the assault company to fight bravely into the enemy group and fight to the death with the enemy, suddenly more than 100 meters away from them, the east city gate broke out with a violent shell explosion, and the city tower collapsed, followed by a loud cry of killing, dense bullets burst from the east city gate, and the first and third battalions of the only regiment finally broke through the east city gate and entered the city, and each battalion and company advanced unstoppably to the depth according to the predetermined route.

The 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Gong Zhijian, shouted and pounced on the Ikeda squadron that surrounded the assault company.

When Squadron Leader Ikeda heard the violent explosion of shells at the East Castle Gate, he shouted in panic: "It's over, Fuping Castle has been broken through by Tubalu, and one of my squadrons of Imperial Japanese Army will fight bloody battles in the city on Tuhachi Road." ”

In the midst of Captain Ikeda's lamentation and howl, a large force of the Eighth Route Army blew like a violent whirlwind, and suddenly fierce gunfire rang out, and the little devils hurriedly turned their guns to block it.

The second platoon of cavalry led by Fang Chao took the opportunity to shoot the circled targets at different street intersections and alley entrances, under the cover of night, and the battle lasted less than ten minutes, under the powerful offensive of the Eighth Route Army, Ikeda fled into the city with the remnants of the little devils, trying to use the newly built pillboxes to carry out a fire counterattack against the attacking Eighth Route Army.

The devils who fled into the bunker immediately relied on the machine gun holes in the bunker to carry out the most powerful firepower attack on the large troops of the Eighth Route Army that were following them, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were attacking for a while were suppressed by fire and lay on the ground to carry out a counterattack.

Li Gang, the commander of the only regiment, ordered the cavalry battalion that had broken into the city, and under the leadership of the deputy regiment commander Ma Ming, to advance parallel to the south, north and west of the city from Dongdajie, and found that the remnants of the devils resisted and resolutely eliminated.

The assault company surrounded by devils in two courtyards, saw that the east gate was broken, the large army bravely entered the city, and a battalion quickly fled to the encircled enemy's firepower, and the soldiers of the assault company who were ready to carry out the final battle with the enemy shouted almost frantically: "We are saved, we are saved, the little devil is finally repulsed, and the soldiers of our assault company can continue to kill the devil alive, hahaha......." ”

Fang Liqiang, the commander of the assault company, saw that the assault company was saved, and he excitedly pounced on Wang Xiaoliang and shouted: "Deputy Commander Wang, the assault company has been saved, we are still alive, we are still alive." ”

Wang Xiaoliang's mood was very complicated, he stood there like a clay statue, and sighed for a long time: "The assault company was besieged by the enemy in two courtyards, and it was I, Wang Xiaoliang, who underestimated the enemy, which led to the consequence of almost annihilating the assault company. ”

"Deputy Commander Wang, don't blame yourself too much, the assault company is deployed according to Commander Lei, and covertly attacked the enemy guarding the city gate at the east city gate, but I didn't expect the large army of devils defending the city to touch up from behind the assault company, and quickly surround us by night, if you didn't propose to withdraw from the east gate in time, the assault company may not only not be able to play the role of containing the devil's large force, but also may affect the siege force outside the city to break through the east gate and enter the city so quickly.

Although we were in danger of losing the whole company, we still played the purpose of containing the enemy, and successfully completed the task assigned by Commander Lei, you are not wrong, and now it seems that no one is wrong. ”

Wang Xiaoliang didn't have time to explain his mistake again, and immediately ordered the assault company to follow the second and third companies of the first battalion to quickly attack the central pillbox of the devils who had withdrawn into the city.

Squadron Leader Ikeda occupied the favorable terrain of the central artillery tower in the city and launched the maximum firepower attack on the only regiment of the attacking Eighth Route Army, which suffered a serious setback for a while, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.
