At half past ten, at the east bridgehead of the Longhai Railway Canal Bridge, after Ge Zengfu and his party parked their motorcycles, they immediately reconnoitred the enemy along the north and south of the canal.

Ge Zengfu brought two of his own guards, and the three of them ran wildly along the river embankment. After running out of the two-kilometer journey, Ge Zengfu looked at the time and said, "We will stay here until twelve o'clock, and then go back when the large army arrives at the bridge." ”

The three of them then found a place to ambush themselves, took off the kettle and took out the biscuits and began to eat lunch.

Ge Zengfu was guarding the back of the most box, and he was about to send a piece of compressed biscuit down to his stomach, drank two sips of water, and suddenly heard Wu Dai at the front shouting: "Camp, devil!" ”

"What?" He hurriedly took off his binoculars and looked in the direction of Wu Dai's finger.

A large group of devils appeared in his field of vision, and there were so many devils that he couldn't even see the length of the line because of the trees along the riverbank. He was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw, quick, withdraw!" The three of them rushed back and forth along the road they came from, and another soldier on the way asked, "Camp, what do the Japanese want to do?" Are they trying to block our retreat? ”

"I don't know the road, maybe I want to use the Longhai Railway Bridge to cross the river and copy the back road of Taierzhuang, no matter what, it's only right to reflect the situation to Brigade Commander Liu as soon as possible."

When Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong received the latest order from the theater headquarters, Ge Zengfu had already brought people out, and he didn't know that at this time, the officers and men of the Overlord Brigade and the 27th Division had already divided into two routes and were lurking more than 20 kilometers southeast of the canal bridge.

Li Zongren temporarily ordered that the 27th Division and the Overlord Brigade should not cross the river for the time being, and it was an essay, but now it seems that it was this magic stroke that allowed Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong to avoid the bad luck of being surrounded by the Segu Detachment and the Isogu Division in the east of the bridge.

The latest enemy information detected by the scouts continued to be transmitted back to the headquarters of the Overlord Brigade, which made Liu Shurong cry out for luck. The place where the Overlord Brigade was lurking was called Linhetan, and the 27th Division was directly lurking in a village called Hancun, which was about five kilometers apart. Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong didn't know that there were two Japanese troops approaching him in Lu Dao, so he immediately took a dozen people straight to Han Village, wanting to exchange views on the current situation with Huang Qiaosong, and to see if it was possible to sneak attack or ambush one of the devils.

Under the West Gate of Taierzhuang, Hosokawa Fengyun stared at a grenade tightly, trying to judge the effect of the blow from its flight trajectory, and suddenly, he saw something green on the city wall more than ten meters high, and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?" Suddenly a rope was thrown off the wall, and another ...... He immediately realized what was happening, turned around and screamed: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Shoot, shoot! ”

Hosokawa was the commander of the mortar squadron, and his screams immediately attracted the attention of the nearby devils, many of whom were lying on the ground with their guns raised their guns to aim, and several devil officers brandished pistols and led people to pounce, and they shouted loudly, meaning that the people of China must not be allowed to complete the abseiling.

On the city wall, Guo Zhengde wrapped his left hand with a strip of cloth while inspecting the crowd. His gaze fell on the face of a soldier who still looked like a child, and suddenly smiled: "Zuo boy, are you afraid?" ”

Zuo Xiao's face was pale, and his eyes were full of deep confusion and uneasiness. A veteran next to him patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed, "What are you afraid of?" Everyone is one egg, is it possible that we Chinese are smaller than small Japan. ”

Another veteran said seriously: "It's different, Xiao Zuozi hasn't grown hair yet!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Zuo Xiao is a recruit, the only recruit in Guo Zhengde's platoon. Guo Zhengde was going to keep him, but Zuo Xiao didn't do it, he thought it was looking down on himself. Zuo Xiao blushed, and he shouted angrily: "I'm hairy!" ”

The crowd laughed even louder. In the midst of unbridled laughter, bullets "creaked" over the city walls, and bullets hit the battlements with a sharp crashing sound.

"All ready?" Guo Zhengde suddenly asked loudly.

"Ready!" The crowd roared in response. Zuo Xiao also roared, and then he felt that his breathing was much smoother.

Guo Zhengde clenched the strip of cloth with his left hand, and erected the Weiqing-style submachine gun with his right hand, and he said to Zuo Xiao: "Xiao Zuo, you stay and help us watch the rope." ”

"I don't-"

"Be obedient, don't underestimate the rope, it's very important. We're going to have someone hurt and we're going to need you to pull it up. ”

Several veterans glanced at each other and silently did not speak - they all knew that Guo Zhengde's words were deceitful, and after they went down, they would definitely not have a chance to come back. A veteran patted Zuo Xiao's shoulder and said, "The devil is definitely going to snipe our operation, and you are just helping us cover up on it!" ”

Guo Zhengde glanced at everyone, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

Guo Zhengde grabbed a rope with his left hand, suddenly showed his head, raised the gun with his right hand and swept wildly, then climbed the wall and stomped on it, and then disappeared into Zuo Xiao's field of vision.

"Brothers, come on!" More and more people turned out of the city, and the gunfire characteristic of the 38 Dagai outside the city suddenly became dense. Zuo Xiao saw that a veteran had just climbed the wall and stomped on the wall when he was hit through the heart by a bullet, and then planted the city wall with a scream, he roared and rushed forward with a gun in both hands, "Little devil, go die!" He shouted, guns in both hands and shooting at the densest group of devils below.

The mortar positions of the little devils were set up strangely, and they used the earth dug up from the trenches to build a barrier more than two meters high, so as to avoid being shot by fire from the city walls. Guo Da asked Guo Zhengde to go out of the city with a rope to assault, and there was no way.

Guo Zhengde's descent was very fast, but even so, because the target was too obvious and they were directly facing the Japanese guns, only half of the soldiers in a platoon could really go down to the city.

"Hit! Beat! Zuo Xiao watched one big brother after another fall to the ground, screaming angrily, and pulling the trigger vigorously. He was condescending, although there was only one person and one gun, but he greatly suppressed the counterattack of the Japanese army, and two teams of devils rushed out of the trenches and were beaten down again, which bought valuable time for Guo Zhengde and them.

Seeing one brother after another fall in a pool of blood, Guo Zhengde's eyes were about to split, and after he ran out of bullets in the gun, he rushed to the mound in front of him with the backpack behind him in his arms. The mound of earth was less than thirty meters away from the city wall, and he quickly rushed to a place that was only five meters away from the mound, and he was about to pull the fuse, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and the whole person fell out of the coffin. ", it hurts!" He gasped for breath, gritted his teeth, and rushed up to the mound with a roar, followed by the fuse on his backpack.

With a "squeak" sound, he climbed over the mound and fell heavily in front of Hosokawa Toyomo. He was dizzy from the fall, but he grinned at the terrified faces of several devils and the mortars and ammunition boxes around them.

"Kill him, kill him!" Hosokawa Toyomo saw the backpack in his arms squeaking and emitting white smoke, and he was so shocked that he screamed and stepped back. Several devils raised their guns to shoot, and the bullets hit the backpack continuously, and the explosives package inside was immediately detonated, making a loud "boom" - a huge fireball rose up, and the violent explosion completely engulfed a trench more than 20 meters long nearby, and the mud shrapnel flew wildly, and the two-meter-high mound of earth exploded a big hole......

"Platoon commander! Platoon leader! Zuo Xiao witnessed all this, he watched Guo Zhengde being engulfed in fireworks, and disappeared out of thin air the next moment, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ikeda Okakata was stunned by the courage of the defenders to die generously, and suddenly, he screamed: "Shoot, kill them, protect the artillery team!" He jumped out of the trench and led hundreds of devils to rush forward. The mound of earth that the artillery team relied on to hide from the city's fire now became a natural shield for the assault team, and the devil soldiers fired from their guns, but the effect was extremely limited. Another commando had just appeared over the mound, and a few sharp-eyed devils shot and concentrated him, and he was undaunted, and as he rolled down the trench, he threw himself into a mortar.

The goblins screamed and fled, and then a violent explosion ensued and lifted them into the air.

One commando after another climbed over the mound and, at the cost of their own lives, turned Ikedaoka's "skillful hand" for breaking through the West Gate into a pile of scrap metal.

Another commando climbed over the mound, and then he was surprised to see a team of devil soldiers, he didn't expect that there were so many devils here, and shouted in his heart: "Earned!" His hands clutched the backpack in his arms and rushed over.

More than a dozen devils looked at him in horror and pounced on him with strange screams in their mouths. The devils in the vicinity were all stunned, and they looked at the pile of ammunition boxes behind the group of devils, and their faces showed terrified expressions. That pile of ammunition boxes is a special existence, and it is full of poison gas bombs, and if it is detonated, the result is unimaginable.

These shells were supposed to enter the city, but because it was now a northwest wind, Hosokawa Toyomo was worried that stealing chickens would endanger himself instead of eating rice, so he delayed giving the order to fire. Well, now that Ryosuke Isoya brewed his own bitter fruit, Simon Devil will have to pay a terrible price for this accident.

With a loud "boom", the commandos and the dozen devils around them were all lifted up by Qi Lang and torn to pieces in mid-air. The other devils in the vicinity watched blankly at first, then suddenly turned around and fled with a strange scream—after the continuous explosion of "boom", a thick yellow smoke quickly enveloped the entire trench, and the next moment it was blown by the wind and drifted in the direction where Ikeda Okakata was standing.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Ikeda was stunned at first, then he smelled a sweet smell and was horrified, screaming for an order to retreat.

Zuo Xiao didn't know what the yellow smoke was, there were no bullets on him. A platoon of brothers was gone in a blink of an eye, and he sat on the ground with his butt on his butt, letting the tears flow.
