When the puppet army horse company commander saw that the casualties were so large, even his battalion commander Cui lost confidence, he ran to Camp Commander Cui, and said carefully: "Battalion Commander Cui, let's hurry up and ask the imperial army for help, otherwise it will be too late." ”

The traitor Cui battalion commander immediately nodded and said: "It seems that I should have asked the imperial army for help a long time ago, so I will call and ask the imperial army to send reinforcements immediately." ”

At this time, gunshots rang out in many places throughout Fudong City, and the most intense gunfire was in the northwest of the county, which was a military transit station for important supplies of the Japanese army, responsible for the supply of military supplies for a brigade and regiment, and was garrisoned by a squadron in the town.

Just when Wang Xiaoliang led the soldiers of the second battalion to break through the four city gates, Lei Jian led the first battalion to quickly enter the city, and rushed into the city gate not far away, and saw a row of houses more than ten steps away, there were many figures shaking, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and the light released by the sky could still be seen at a distance of more than ten steps, and the people and things that came into view.

Lei Jian listened to the constant shouting and scolding in the room, and vaguely heard Wang Xiaoliang's voice, he was worried about taking the guard squad, patting the horse and rushing over, jumping off the horse impulse door, and saw four or five little devils standing on the bed, shirtless, with a strip of white cloth between their hips, fighting with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army holding bayonets with their bare hands.

When he saw a fierce little devil twisting the neck of a soldier, he shouted 'dodge', threw out the pig-killing knife, snatched the bayonet from the hands of the two soldiers, and shot in succession, killing the devil who was crazy about killing soldiers.

Lei Jian ordered Wang Xiaoliang to immediately carry out the next step, and he led the guard squad to quickly rush to the northwest of Fudong County, chasing Zhang Ting, who led the first and second companies of the first battalion to the Japanese army's transfer station.

Battalion Commander Zhang Ting was leading the soldiers of the first and second companies of the first battalion to rush to the northwest corner of the city, when suddenly a patrol of the enemy puppet army walked out of a street, and he shouted: "Pounce on it and kill this group of mongrels." ”

Two companies of wolf-like soldiers quickly surrounded the patrol of the enemy puppet army, took the most fierce fight, and resolved the battle in less than ten minutes.

Just when Zhang Ting ordered the troops to collect their weapons, a fierce gunfire suddenly broke out from a house, which Zhang Ting never expected, how could such a fierce gunfire erupt from a private house, so that his two companies of unsuspecting soldiers were hit by unknown enemy fire, and several soldiers fell in pools of blood.

Zhang Ting angrily ordered: "Throw the grenade, blow up this house for me, and avenge the sacrificed soldiers." ”

When the soldiers of the first battalion saw their comrades lying in a pool of blood, they were furious, and quickly pulled the grenade from their bodies, slammed it on the butt of the gun, threw the grenade into the courtyard, and then threw out several more.

Dozens of grenades exploded in the courtyard and roof, the house and the courtyard wall were blown down by the exploding grenades, and thick pillars ......of smoke and fire rose into the sky.

Zhang Ting shouted: "Leave a platoon to clean up the battlefield, kill all the bastards who haven't lost their breath yet, and the other troops will continue to rush to the northwest with me." ”

The soldiers of the first battalion ran and rushed to the northwest of the city, approaching the compounds in front of them, and suddenly were blocked by heavy fire, Zhang Ting shouted: "Lie down quickly, roll to favorable terrain, and carry out a fire counterattack." ”

On the opposite side, the fierce fire that suddenly erupted from several compounds was the guard unit guarding the Japanese military transfer station, Squadron Leader Matsuo, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in this county town, when he had just gotten up and finished washing, he suddenly heard gunfire in many parts of the city, especially near the road to the military transfer station, the gunfire was particularly intense.

Squadron Leader Matsuo shivered when he heard the gunshots in the city, and he shouted an order while dressing: "All the Imperial Army units of the guard army transfer station, quickly enter the blocking bunker, block the gate of each army's transfer station, and prepare for battle in the bunker of the gate, and hedge against the anti-Japanese forces who do not know the truth, and carry out the most powerful firepower strike." ”

He personally rushed to the gate of the largest compound where military supplies were stored, and ordered the shooters at the heavy machine gun positions on both sides of the gate: "The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, once you find an unknown unit rushing over, shoot and kill." ”

Squadron Leader Matsuo ordered the leader of the artillery squad specially equipped for the military transfer station: "Captain Tianlu, you immediately deploy all the mortar positions, and the muzzles are located at the street entrance and alley entrance in front of the compound. ”

'Haiyi', the leader of the devil artillery squad, Tian Lu Chaoyi, turned around and ran quickly to the position of the artillery squad, and adjusted the direction of each mortar again.

Just as the leader of the Matsuo squadron of the Japanese army defending the city, Zhang Ting led the two companies of the newly formed independent regiment and one battalion of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army to quickly rush to the transfer station of the Japanese army in the city.

Squadron Leader Matsuo saw a unit of the Eighth Road, and rushed to the military transfer station he was guarding at the fastest speed, and Squadron Leader Matsuo ordered the troops who had already prepared for battle: "Concentrate your firepower and destroy this Dirt Eighth Route that does not know whether to live or die." ”

The two squads of the devil squadron guarding several nearby compounds where munitions were stored, saw the squadron leader Matsuo Shaosa, suddenly pointed his command knife at the rushing Tubalu, and shouted to shoot with fire.

The Japanese squad leader Taji Chaoichi shouted at the gunner of the artillery squad: "Prepare to load, prepare to ——。 ”

Just as the Captain of the Tianlu squad gave the order to open the cannon, Squadron Leader Matsuo turned his head sharply and shouted angrily at the Captain of the Tianlu team: "Bastard, the Tubalu has been routed by my light and heavy weapons to the nearby street entrance and alley with the maximum firepower, why do you still open fire?" ”

The squadron leader was scolded by the squadron leader, and he shouted to the gunners: "Hurry, no, stop firing immediately." ”

The Japanese army's sudden fire attack, the two companies of soldiers led by battalion commander Zhang Ting, under the strong firepower of the devils, could not break through the fire blockade of the devils at all, and could only organize the fighters to counterattack with firepower.

Although most of the soldiers of the battalion led by Zhang Ting had participated in the Lijiazhuang Offensive and fought a few small battles on the way to the west, for these new soldiers who had just joined the Eighth Route Army for a short time, this was the first time that they had encountered such a fierce Japanese firepower, and they could not raise their heads when they were suppressed by the firepower for a while.

At this time, the enemy and us, across a street, carried out firepower confrontation, Zhang Ting's 1st and 2nd companies, although the weapons and ammunition were much better than those of other Eighth Route Army units, but in the face of the Matsuo squadron guarding the Japanese army's transfer station, it was too far behind.

Zhang Ting held a rifle, aimed at the machine gun shooter at the devil's gate, and ordered the company and platoon commander beside him: "We are all old soldiers, take out your best shooting level for me, and knock out the heavy machine gun shooters in the bunker at the devil's gate." ”

Under the suppression of the enemy's powerful firepower, the veteran soldiers of the first battalion had to hide in the corners of the walls, at the mouth of the alleys, or in places that could be used as shelters, to confront the enemy's firepower, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and as soon as they probed, they were hit back by the dense bullets of the devils.

At this time, he heard the order given by the battalion commander Zhang Ting, and braved the enemy's dense bullets, intending to find a hidden place and shoot the devil's machine gun shooter.

The old soldier saw that the soldiers around him were constantly being shot and wounded, and one by one he stared at the blood-red eyes, and took the opportunity to lean out and shoot a few shots.

Zhang Ting was helpless in the face of the enemy's powerful firepower, he scolded angrily: "Grandma of the devil, the commander of this devil is too powerful, just heard the sound of gunfire in the city, he deployed the firepower of the military transfer station in such a timely manner, he is really not a simple guy." ”

Just when it was difficult to break through the firepower confrontation between the enemy and us, Lei Jian led the guard squad to rush over on horseback, and when he saw that a battalion was blocked by the devil's fire from several compounds in front of him, blocking the street entrance and alley, and there were more than a dozen soldiers lying in a pool of blood, and under the enemy's intensive firepower, they could not be grabbed back at all.

Lei Jian jumped off his horse and ordered the guard squad to hide behind and wait for orders.

He dodged the dense bullets of the Japanese army, jumped and rushed to Zhang Ting, pointed to the enemy positions in the courtyards in front of him and asked, "Battalion Commander Zhang, how can this happen?" Why did the troops not take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a surprise surprise attack on the enemy's transfer station, and engage in a frontal fire confrontation with the enemy? ”
