In less than three minutes, the operator had already come over to report: "Battalion commander, a telegram has arrived, Kuixing Tower can't be bombed!" Because the mortars and heavy machine guns in there are our own men, and they are specially here to cover our attack on the east gate. But they are very dangerous now, because there is no shelling here, so the little devils are coming this way. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Cao ordered us to immediately take the East Gate Bridge and the City Gate and hold on to it at any cost. And a part of the troops must be divided to join the troops in the city as soon as possible! Once the enemy is all concentrated and rushed out near the east gate, and we have no follow-up troops, then it will be a big trouble! ”

However, the artillery regiment deployed at the 75mm mountain artillery position in Nguyen Trang did not make the third battalion commander wait too long. As soon as the operator finished the order and retreated, nearly 20 shells had already flown in from the south, accurately smashing into the enemy's fortifications at the city gate, and human body parts and machine gun parts suddenly flew into the air.

"A company reinforced a mortar platoon, assaulted the Dongmen Bridge and occupied it. The second company, reinforced a mortar platoon, stormed the city gates and captured the tower. The heavy machine gun company then followed up and defended the east gate to Lao Tzu. The remaining mortar platoon and three companies of infantry rushed into the city with me to reinforce the friendly forces in Kuixinglou! Rush—"

The moment the commander of the company rushed to the head of the bridge with his men, two shells suddenly flew out of the hole in the city gate, and they just landed in the middle of the bridge and exploded!

The commander of the first company saw that the general situation was not good, and immediately shouted anxiously: "Get down, the infantry artillery of the little devil is hiding in the hole in the city gate!" Grenadiers-gunners crawled forward and knocked out the enemy's infantry guns. The light machine guns all fired, suppressed the enemy's covering fire, and the cover grenade came up! ”

The commander of the third battalion looked anxiously at his watch, and the hands were about to point to nine o'clock. There are less than five minutes left before the shelling is over, and if the East City Gate is not taken immediately, once the little devil recovers, his own battalion may not be able to block the enemy's counterattack.

Thinking of this, the third battalion commander gritted his teeth: "The grenade gunners continue to make a detour, and the mortars bombard the entrance of the city gate to interfere with the enemy's line of sight. Now there is no time, the first infantry company to Lao Tzu rushed forward, and he must take the city gate hole within five minutes! ”

Braving the enemy's direct-aim artillery charge, the most simply sent to death. However, without a group of people sent to death, the enemy's artillery fire could not be blocked, and the follow-up troops could not launch a decisive assault.

The commander of the first company did not hesitate, and as soon as the words of the third battalion commander fell, he had already grabbed the machine gun and bowed down, and then bent down and rushed forward, rolling forward a few times in a row, and he had already crossed the Dongmen Bridge.

After all, it takes time for infantry artillery to fire shells, and a series of dazzling movements of a company commander made the little devil not react. By the time the two shells were fired, the commander of the first company was gone.

Gamble! The commander of the first company took the lead, but he won the bet.

The disadvantage of the artillery finally became apparent, and after firing a shell, it was necessary to load the shell, close the bolt, pull the firing latch, and add the flight time of the gun to be discharged.

Several squad and platoon commanders of the first company, through the actions of the company commander, quickly understood the trick. At the moment when two enemy shells exploded, they also rushed across the Dongmen Bridge.

Because the enemy is hiding in the cave of the city gate, there is nothing to be done about the north and south sides outside the cave gate. Originally, there were two heavy machine-gun fortifications to cover the flanks, but they had been killed by artillery fire.

So, just cross the moat and you will be saved!

The fighters in the back finally mastered this rhythm, and the moment the little devil's shell exploded, a squad of fighters rushed forward across the bridge.

Now it has been two squads to rush across the Dongmen Bridge, and the warriors are divided into two groups and put their bodies close to the city walls on the north and south sides of the city gate hole.

The company commander gasped and roared: "Is the grenade gunner coming?" ”

"It's coming!"

A soldier holding a rifle with a grenade already hung up, dodged to the edge of the cave door, then took a deep breath, suddenly rushed to the side, and was about to pull the trigger, but he didn't expect a string of evil machine gun bullets to shoot out of the city gate hole!

The soldier was unfortunately shot in the head, and the whole person was knocked out by the machine gun bullets at close range, and died a heroic death on the spot!

Crooked! There are two crooked machine guns in the city gate hole!

"No need to shoot head-on!" The company commander didn't have time to grieve, and after a little contemplation, he shouted: "The grenade gunner retreats thirty meters to the side, gets out of the way of the little devil's shot, and then strikes a diagonal line at the cave door, as long as the grenade explodes inside the east gate!" ”

Bang!

The first grenade exploded into the gate hole, followed by the second and third guns. At this interval, the follow-up troops of the first company rushed across the Dongmen Bridge, and more than 200 people finally arrived.

The commander of the first company, for the sake of safety, waited until six grenades were in, and then one dodged and lay on the ground, and then one rolled on its side to the front of the city gate hole, and the machine gun in his hand opened fire at the same time.

"Rush—"

The platoon commander shouted, taking advantage of the opportunity of the company commander to create a zào to enter the city gate, and the follow-up soldiers rushed in.

It turned out that there were more than 30 little devils hidden here, in addition to two infantry guns and four crooked handles, there were also two Type 92 heavy machine guns!

It seems that the little devil is also worried about the enemy's siege and strong attack, so in order to ensure the safety of the commander, a huge trap has been laid here.

Just now they were bombed by a grenade, and these little devils were just forced out of the city gate with infantry guns, and a platoon of machine gun bullets had already chased after the company commander, so that the little devils could not turn around to meet the enemy.

Then the soldiers who rushed in were swept away by submachine guns, and all the thirty or so little devils were beaten into a sieve.

At the very moment of the end of the hour-long shelling, the East City Gate changed owners, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion got a rare bridgehead!

Seeing that the first company only sacrificed one brother to take the Dongguan City Gate, the commander of the three battalions behind was overjoyed, and stood up and shouted: "Rush into the city and kill all the little devils!" ”

By the time the entire third battalion had rushed into the city, the first company had already set up a heavy machine-gun position and a mortar position on the city gate tower in accordance with the battle plan.

Now the time is one, so the commander of the third battalion did not stop, but led the large army directly to the place where the gunfire was most intense in the north.

As for the scuffle in the city, let's not mention it for the time being.

It is said that after Ling Kaishan left Mujiazhai half a year ago, he has been missing, and this time Ling Kaishan's fiancée Hua Ruyue is in a hurry!

Since then, Hua Ruyue has stayed at the regiment headquarters almost every day, pestering Zhao Sanbao to ask for a clear answer: "When will my man be able to go home?" ”

"I said brother and sister, don't worry, okay?" Zhao Sanbao was not afraid of the ground, he was afraid that women would talk nonsense, and finally had to move his boss out: "Tell you the truth, Ling Kaishan went out to carry out the top secret order of the commander-in-chief." Although you are the core cadre of our regiment, you can't know this secret! ”

"You are a big brother, it's unreasonable!" Hua Ruyue continued to stalk: "I didn't say that I wanted to know the secret, I just asked when my man would go home, and why did he get involved with the commander-in-chief again?" ”

"The last time you said that I snatched back the rails and sleepers, my family would be able to go home after opening the mountain, and it has been another half a year! You tell me the truth, is there something wrong with my family? ”

Zhao Sanbao rubbed his hands helplessly: "Brother and sister, what do you say can happen, ah?" Ling Kaishan eats and drinks spicy food, and lives well. Don't worry, I'll make sure he's okay. You just need to train the women's barracks and protect our base areas! ”

Finally, when the time came on September 8, 1937, Zhao Sanbao took the initiative to find Hua Ruyue: "Brother and sister, now I can tell you the truth." Ling Kaishan led a reinforced reconnaissance battalion of more than 1,000 people, which was in Baoding City. ”

"Now, too, I'm going to take the cavalry battalion, the machine gun battalion, and the artillery battalion to join over there. From today onwards, the entire Mujiazhai base area will be handed over to your female soldier company. If you want to see Ling Kaishan, then defend Mujiazhai with peace of mind. ”

"Big brother, the little ghost is in the north, what are you doing in Baoding in the south?" Hua Ruyue was still a little puzzled: "Is the little devil going to attack Baoding?" ”

Zhao Sanbao shook his head: "We are all carrying out the orders of the commander-in-chief, and he said that the little devil will definitely occupy Baoding, then he will definitely occupy Baoding." As for how to fight, we still need to wait for the next order from the commander-in-chief. ”

"Commander, don't worry!" Hua Ruyue will only call the head of the regiment when talking about business: "This is my home, and it is also the foundation created by Kaishan." As long as the little devil dares to step into Zhangfang Town for half a step, his aunt and grandmother will tell him to come and go! ”

All the male soldiers are gone, and in the Mujiazhai Lafayette Ridge base area, there is only one female battalion of 768 people left to undertake all the defense.

On September 15th and 16th, Zhoukoudian and Liulihe were lost successively, and Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army retreated in great strides.

On September 17, Zhuozhou was captured by little devils. Now, all the regular troops have withdrawn south, and the northeast, east, and southeast of Zhangfang's camp are all filled with little devils.

On September 19, Laishui County and Yixian County, directly south of Zhangfang Town, fell into the hands of the enemy.

The female battalion commander Hua Ruyue and the deputy battalion commander Mo Fengjiao finally began to worry. The commander of the first company, Ren Huaihua, was immediately ordered to dispatch the entire company to carry out reconnaissance in the north, east, and south directions.

On September 24, Baoding fell, and Hua Ruyue began to fidget.

At 7:58 p.m. on September 25, the communication platoon received a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie on the operation of the 6th Animal Division of the Little Devils, and Hua Ruyue immediately summoned the women's battalion to read out the telegram and issued a mobilization order:

"Sisters, tell you the truth, my family has opened the mountain and brought people into Baoding City. Now, Baoding City is in the hands of little devils, and my family is precarious, and my life is in an instant. Now, I'm going to take you to save my man, who was also your chief instructor. Do you dare to go? ”

Can you still dare not go? The soldiers of the female barracks are basically the members of the "female bandits" known as "Lingxian Gu" by Hua Ruyue, and then the girls of the close guard when Mo Fengjiao was the "female commander" on the green forest road. Because of this, the style of the entire women's barracks from top to bottom still has a trace of "gangsterism" to a greater or lesser extent.

Let's not care about the dogma of soldiers obeying orders, these female soldiers have grown up under Ling Kaishan's words and deeds, admiration, convincing, and support, all from the depths of their hearts. Therefore, Ling Kaishan's prestige in the women's barracks is not covered.

Even if there is no instigation from Hua Ruyue, the female soldiers will move forward bravely for Ling Kaishan. Now the big boss gave an order, so the female soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "Enter Baoding City and swear to rescue the chief instructor!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
