"Order, two artillery batteries immediately build a position, and at the first moment, destroy the heavy weapons on the city wall." Seeing the mortars in front of him, the commissar ordered.

"All of them" did not test fire, there was no early warning, and the artillery company, after receiving the order, smashed a total of 24 shells of various kinds into the city wall at the first moment. Although the accuracy was not so good, nearly 10 rounds of dense shells still landed on the city walls.

The "boom boom" city wall was immediately blown into a sea of fire by ten mortar shells, and those devil spies who were chatting together, except for those who were killed by the shells, all the rest threw down their guns in their hands, cried, and ran around. There is no military appearance at all. And the army hiding behind the battlements on the city wall did not panic at all. He picked up the light machine gun in his hand and fired at the place outside the city where the sound of artillery was heard.

The mortars fired after the "boom boom" did not give the army any time to react, and once again fired 24 shells. This time, it's much better than the previous one. Nearly 20 shells fell on the narrow city wall again, and the city wall nearly 100 meters near both ends of the city gate was once again baptized by artillery fire.

Suddenly, the machine gun, which had been shouting happily just now, suddenly fell silent. The machine gunners, along with the heavy heavy machine guns, were thrown off the walls by the air wave of the shell explosion.

"Baga, where is your special team, quickly, order your special team to go to the city wall immediately and assist the imperial army in defending the city" Looking at the squadron leader of the special team who retreated in embarrassment, the squadron leader of the Yue Army who was left to defend the city couldn't help but be annoyed, and slapped him with a slap.

"Your Excellency the Captain, my special service team is gone, the communist army has come down with a burst of artillery fire, my special service team has all dispersed, the brothers have fled, and now there are only dozens of cronies by his side" The squadron leader of the special service squadron, who usually shows off his might, at this time, in the face of the slap of the army, can only endure the hot pain on his face and bow his head to answer.

"How can Baga be like this, quickly, take the rest of your people to the city wall immediately, the first squad, quickly, go to the city wall, you must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army." After listening to the words of the captain of the special team, the squadron leader was also frightened, the special team with hundreds of guns was only a few dozen people left in the blink of an eye, and the originally sufficient troops had now reached the point where there were no soldiers to send.

Seeing the squadron leader of the departing spy squadron, the squadron leader hurried to the telegraph room.

"Quick, send a report to Your Excellency the Captain." The squadron leader commanded the telegraph operator in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Captain, half an hour ago, the county town was fiercely attacked by the people of China, they carried a large number of mortars, and now, the special forces have all lost their combat effectiveness, and the troops left in the city have also lost half of the squad in just half an hour, and the heavy weapons have almost been lost. Request Your Excellency the Captain to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, otherwise, Fuping County will not be protected."

"Baga, how can this be, why is the special team so fragile, it only took half an hour to collapse." The captain almost tore the telegram in his hand to shreds, and asked loudly.

"Your Excellency, it's good that those Chinese spies can hold on until now, after all, they are all ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield, what should we do now?" The vice-captain next to him comforted.

"What can I do, order the troops to come back to help immediately, the county must not be lost, otherwise, let's apologize to His Majesty the Emperor together." The troops of a reinforced squadron were ordered to travel by car, and in the shortest possible time, the county town must be reinforced. I followed with the rest of the troops. If we can't eliminate the Eighth Route Army here, then we will move the battlefield to the outside of Fuping County. The captain said.

"Hey, Your Excellency, what should the people in the village do?" The chief of staff asked.

"Those ordinary people have been bewitched by the Eighth Route Army, and there are still a lot of Eighth Route Army inside, all of them have been killed, leaving no trouble." The captain thought for a moment and said.

"Hi." The chief of staff turned and took the order, not feeling that there was anything wrong with the order. Because in their eyes, it is a matter of course to kill these ordinary people who were bewitched by the Eighth Route Army.

Soon, just as the captain and his troops walked out of the village, it turned out that the army base store remembered bursts of machine guns and the cries of the villagers

"Brigade commander, something happened to the brigade commander," said one of the fighters who had gone out to reconnoitre, running back and crying.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, don't cry" The brigade commander asked anxiously, and at the same time, he also had a vague premonition of the gunfire just now.

"The devils slaughtered the village, they killed all the people before leaving, it's so miserable, hundreds of people were all killed by the devil's machine guns." The scout replied crying.

Sure enough, what I thought of still happened. Hearing the scout's report, every fighter around him clenched his fists. A look full of anger.

"Brigade commander, you give an order, we have to take revenge, so many villagers, we must not die in vain," the soldier next to him encouraged.

"Yes, brigade commander, you give the order, we will take revenge, avenge the dead folks," the soldiers next to him immediately echoed.

After listening to the words of the soldiers, Wang Nanhu's heart slowly became excited. At this moment, the chief of staff spoke. "Comrades, I know that everyone is eager for revenge, but now our fifth regiment is still attacking the city in the county town to attract the main force of the army to come back for reinforcements. The devils went back so quickly, it was obvious that they wanted to wipe out our five regiments under the county seat. Brigade commander, we must intercept the troops along the way, and we can't let them quickly surround the county seat, otherwise, the Fifth Regiment will be "

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Liu Hua slowly calmed down.

"Order, a company into the village to collect the remains of the villagers, the rest of the troops, follow me to block the devil's retreat, we can't let them return to the county so easily, blood debt to be repaid." Wang Nanhu ordered loudly.

As a result, the vengeful warriors could be said to have held back their strength this time, and in less than two hours, they rushed to the front of the marching brigade of the Yue Army.

"The second company, occupy the hill in front of them, hold on for 20 minutes and then retreat, and the third battalion, when the devils attack, give them a look from behind the devils. The third company ran forward, fell down a hill to build fortifications, and met the retreating second company. Looking at a hill on the side of the road in front of him, brigade commander Wang Nanhu immediately ordered.

Because the army was very eager to return for reinforcements, it did not occupy the commanding heights on the side of the road first, and then pass through the road, as in the previous marches. Rather, it is directly by the road, and does not control whether there is an enemy at the high point.

The commander of the second company led the soldiers to use the stones on the mountain as cover, and quietly lay on the ground, looking at the army on the road. I saw that the army did not capture the high ground they occupied, but wanted to quickly pass the road in front of them in a rapid way.

"Damn, I want to go, it's not that easy. Comrades, against the marching brigade of the devils, hit me hard" The commander of the second company gave the order to attack. Immediately, the fierce gunfire was remembered on the hill, and the devil soldiers who were marching in a hurry were suddenly taken by surprise. Dozens of devil soldiers were swept to the ground by the sudden and dense bullets.

"Baga, lie down, hurry, return fire" The squadron of the Yue Army, which was attacked, couldn't help but feel a heartache when he saw the dozens of soldiers he had lost, and ordered loudly. Soon, with the help of various powerful terrain, the army lay on the ground and shot at the second company on the top of the mountain. At the same time, a light and heavy machine gun was erected, and a door grenadier began to adjust the firing range

The light and heavy machine guns of the devil rang out. Without the cover of trenches, the fighters immediately suffered casualties. Fortunately, the terrain was very favorable to the fighters, and all the grenades fired by the devils fell in front of the position, posing little threat to the fighters.

"Kill" saw that the squadron on the top of the hill was completely overwhelmed by its own heavy firepower and couldn't lift its head. The squadron leader immediately seized the time and sent a squad to charge.

Due to the dense firepower of the devils, the soldiers could only watch the attacking army getting closer and closer, but they were helpless. Finally, the devil rushed to 50 meters in front of the position. Got into the range of the fighters' grenades.

"Comrades, grenades" the company commander shouted loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred grenades flew out from the top of the mountain and landed in front of the devil's charge formation, and with the explosion of the grenade, a fire net composed of grenade explosions appeared in front of the devil.

"Quick, retreat" when the fighters finished throwing the second round of grenades. The company commander saw that the charging army had been wiped out by nearly half of his own troops, and then saw that the time for his own resistance had come. So immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

Receiving the order to retreat, the fighters successfully withdrew from the position with the help of the cover of grenade explosions, carrying the remains of the wounded and comrades, leaving an empty hilltop for the devils.

In the face of the sudden casualties of dozens of people, although the captain wanted to retaliate, when he thought of the county town that was in danger, he immediately ordered the troops to hurry up and rush back to the county seat as soon as possible. As a result, the marching brigade of the Yue Army, which had stopped for dozens of minutes because of the second company's blockade, once again accelerated its pace.

However, just as the Yue army continued to speed up its pace, the entire third battalion had slowly approached the follow-up baggage troops of the Yue army. Finally, the army slowly approached the ambush position of the third company.
