Night fell, but the battle intensified. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese had occupied the northwest corner of Taierzhuang, and from there they were attacking south, because the Chinese army still occupied the West Gate, and the Chinese army was now only in possession of the West Gate.

In the faint light of the incessant explosion a few hundred meters away, a group of Chinese soldiers quietly exited the west gate and thrust north along the base of the wall.

Huo Xiaoshan was walking in front with a soldier of the Northwest Army at this time.

In the afternoon meeting with the commander of the 31st Division of the Northwest Army, he was sure that this division commander must be familiar with his father, although the division commander only said three words to himself after knowing that his father was Huo Yuan.

The first sentence was that he had been silent for nearly five minutes before he said, "Let's go, go see your people." ”

When he saw the soldiers in the quartermaster's office, he said, "These are your brothers?" After nodding his head and answering yes, the division commander was silent for a while, and then he asked someone to summon an officer who was familiar with the situation at the front and asked him to discuss the battle plan with him.

Before leaving, the division commander said the last sentence, "If we don't die defending Taierzhuang this time, I will invite my nephew to drink." ”

Huo Xiaoshan didn't speculate too much about the relationship between his father and this division commander, because a dignified teacher refused to say that he couldn't ask, not to mention that now was not the time to ask.

However, Zheng Youjian, who has always been a good believer, asked himself: "Why does the division commander of the Northwest Army call you a virtuous nephew?" ”

Huo Xiaoshan hadn't thought about how to answer him, but Shen Chong blocked the annoying Zheng Fat Man back with a word: "When is it that you are still so curious, how can you still think about surviving in the street battle and not deserting!" ”。

This sentence is very good, Zheng Youjian, who originally had small eyes to explore the gossip, immediately disappeared and became sad.

Huo Xiaoshan started his military career in the Anti-Japanese War from Nanjing, and no one in the quartermaster department knew his background except for Shen Chong.

Huo Xiaoshan no longer paid attention to Zheng Youjian, and announced the combat mission and specific division of labor according to the results of the consultation with the officer of the Northwest Army.

Their combat mission this time was to go out of the west gate and climb the wall to sneak attack the northwest corner of the Japanese army, occupy a few more houses, and hold on until the northwest army came to reinforce and turn it back into the territory of the Chinese army.

Huo Xiaoshan led a total of seven groups of ten people, each group of nine quartermasters, one guide of the Northwest Army, each equipped with a one-meter-long short-handled hammer, a few hooks for climbing the city, weapons were grenades, grenades, large knives, boxes, artillery plants, and all wearing Japanese military uniforms with white towels on their left arms.

Zheng Youjian was responsible for leading the eighth ten-man group to act with Huo Xiaoshan and them, and after arriving at the designated position, they carried out fire blockade and cover at the street intersection to prevent the Japanese army from directly carrying out risky reinforcements in the streets and alleys, so the weapons they carried were two grenadiers and three light machine guns.

The rest of the quartermaster department carried grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns to the direction of the Japanese attack, while supporting the Northwest Army while trying to create greater movement and divert the attention of the Japanese from the rear.

Not long after walking through the darkness, the guide of the Northwest Army stopped, and with a wave of his arm tied to a white towel, everyone also stopped, and their bodies shrank and all hid under the base of the wall.

The place where they were going to climb over the wall was reached.

The soldiers of the quartermaster department were a little surprised, how long had they been there!

This is because Taierzhuang is called Zhuang, which is really not big, the length from north to south is only 600 meters, and the width from east to west is only 100 meters, not to mention that they came out from the west gate to the northwest corner to climb the wall, then they can walk at most 300 meters, but this is such a big projectile land, but the lives of six or seven thousand national soldiers have been added, which shows the danger of this battle more and more.

The guide of the Northwest Army pointed upwards with his hand, but Huo Xiaoshan had already noticed that there was a hole in the wall there, which must have been blasted open by heavy artillery concentrated fire when the Japanese army attacked Zhuangzhai.

The wall was not high from the ground, and the three of them could climb it by taking a human ladder, but Huo Xiaoshan thought for a while, and did not let people climb up according to the predetermined plan, but let the guide and Shen Chong, who was following him, lean their heads over, and whispered, "You two stay, and tell everyone to retreat ten meters back." ”

In the darkness at the root of the wall, after everyone quietly retreated and arrived at the designated position, Huo Xiaoshan stood up abruptly and threw a fist-sized stone he had picked up just now towards the gap.

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions a few hundred meters away was still ringing from time to time, but there was always a gap, and the stone he threw hit the city wall at the moment when the noise stopped, and Huo Xiaoshan had already put his ear on the city wall.

The guide of the Northwest Army silently watched everything Huo Xiaoshan did, except for the crackling sound of stones, he didn't hear any strange sounds, he naturally wouldn't laugh at Huo Xiaoshan's caution, but in his heart, he thought that this guy from the Central Army would be so miscellaneous that he would even play with stones and ask for directions.

Just when he thought he was in a relaxed mood for nothing, Huo Xiaoshan had already made a silent gesture to him, because the guide didn't hear anything, but Huo Xiaoshan heard a strange sound on the city wall!

Huo Xiaoshan made a gesture of retreating, and the guide and Shen Chong also retreated ten meters before stopping.

The Northwest Army Commander was puzzled, but he wouldn't ask, because before this action, the commander had already explained, and all the actions were all up to the quartermaster's office.

Huo Xiaoshan turned around and whispered, "Two hooks are needed", and after a while, the two hooks and cables had already been passed into his hands.

Huo Xiaoshan whispered to Shen Chong again, and Shen Chong passed the word on again, and several soldiers quietly moved behind Shen Chong.

Huo Xiaoshan put a hook and rope on his shoulder in the dark, and then gently groped for another hook rope with his hand for a while, and after making sure that the rope of the hook rope was not messy, he stood up again and walked a few meters outside the base of the wall, holding an iron hook with claws in one finger and a rope in the other, just waiting there.

Although they were all hiding in the shadows under the city wall, because the battle was not far away, it was by no means that they could not see their fingers, and all the soldiers were sticking to the root of the wall, silently watching Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan in the darkness was lonely and independent, as if he was one with the night.

After a few more moments, the distant explosions and gunfire suddenly rang out, and the whistling of grenades and the penetrating strafing of heavy machine gun "holes" could be heard.

Almost at the moment when the noise became noisy, Huo Xiaoshan took two steps forward, and threw the hook in his hand towards the city wall, this time, the sound of the iron hook hitting the wall could no longer be heard, and the sound of weapons firing was all in his ears.

Huo Xiaoshan gently tugged on the rope and saw that it had already eaten the force, so he saw him run a few steps forward, tugging on the rope with both hands and hands, and one foot on the wall, and the person had already jumped up.

At this moment, his movements were so fast that everyone felt like a black whirlwind was blowing in front of them, and his hands were alternately pulling the rope, but his two feet seemed to be running on the city wall!

Right! It's running, not climbing!

And Huo Xiaoshan's upward movement is so light that it really feels like he is pulling a rope and running low on the wall, and the gravity of the earth seems to be gone, it is too fast!

In an instant, Huo Xiaoshan had already jumped to the top of the wall, took off the hook he was carrying and hung it down.

Below, Shen Chong and Manghan had each grabbed the end of a hook rope and climbed upward, although their movements did not give people an amazing feeling like Huo Xiaoshan, but the speed of climbing was by no means something that ordinary soldiers could have.

Immediately afterwards, four soldiers climbed up one after another, including small stones, gold locks, silver locks, and copper locks.

The guides of the Northwest Army who were looking up below were already admiring the skills of the soldiers in the Quartermaster Department at this time.

The Northwest Army is very martial, and they are naturally skilled, and they have naturally used hooks, but they have to admit that the skills of these people who went up in front of them are also the best in their Northwest Army.

I can call it a division, with nearly 10,000 in the formation, plus the reserve team has exceeded 10,000, it is not surprising to choose a good one, but there is only a small company of more than 100 people, and there are these climbing masters, it is different, at least judging from their current performance, they are a heroic unit fighting devils, and they deserve their reputation.
