It was not until 9 o'clock in the morning that I saw the devil's transport truck appear, there were actually more than 30 trucks, many of which were still dragging mountain artillery and howitzers behind them, and the speed of movement was very slow, but the number of devils escorted was twice as large, not only the troops of the inoue durian farmers, but also a squadron that originally escorted the arms. Sheng Jiu's Imperial Association Army ran at the front.

Unexpectedly, there were so many devils and horses this time, and Wang Tiexiong, Zhou and the others who were in ambush on the mountain were a little unsure whether to fight or not, so when they saw Sheng Jiu riding a horse past the ambush site, he made a gesture of fighting. Then, Zhou Tong immediately began to light a beacon fire here, which was a signal to the troops in ambush in the county, so that Zhang Guangzu could cooperate with the launch of a feint, due to the suddenness of the situation, he could only take this oldest way of transmitting the message!

When Sheng Jiu's men and horses passed, and the devil's convoy entered the ambush circle, Zhou Tong took the lead in shooting here, which was also the order to launch an attack, two hundred people, two hundred guns began to shoot at the same time, although these two hundred people were not bullets, but the hit rate was still quite high, and immediately dozens of devils fell to the ground, and then two hundred people threw grenades/bullets and grenades at the same time, which was the most violent attack at the beginning, and it was also the most effective, because, when the devils found cover, it was not so easy to shoot.

After a period of panic, the devils who escorted the arms also immediately found their own cover, began to shoot at the mountain, and immediately set up the mortars, but the men and horses on the mountain did not like to fight, according to the original route, quickly withdrew from the ambush point, rushed to the next ambush point, but more than a dozen people were still injured, and several were killed.

When Zhou Tonglin evacuated, he gave Li Dashan a shot with a 38 cover gun, and then untied Li Dashan's rope, and originally wanted to make up for another shot, an insurance, but a shell flew in, Zhou Tong saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned Li Dashan over to his body, which is good, there is no need to make up the gun, Li Dashan is already dead and can no longer die, but fortunately, his head and face were not damaged, and he can still recognize Li Dashan. Zhou Tong shook the dust on his body, and then was a little reluctant to put a box gun in Li Dashan's hand, it was the original imported barge gun of the plainclothes team that was eliminated last time, it was numbered and registered with the devil, and for Sheng Jiu's planting plan, he had to give up this good gun!

The devil fought for a while, and found that the men and horses who were ambushed had withdrawn, but they still searched the surroundings carefully, and found several corpses, three of which were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and also found the body of Li Dashan, which made the Inoue durian farmers very vigilant, judging from the gunfire just now, there are quite a few people in this group! And it is obviously the same as the situation of Huang Sen last time, not only bandits, but also the men and horses of the Eighth Route Army, Inoue Durian farmers did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a telegram to Kato, asking for support.

……

Masakin Kato is also in a state of flux! In the morning, he was suddenly shelled here, and there were a large number of Eighth Route Army on the periphery of the county, this attack was very puzzled by Kato, when did the Eighth Route Army become so rich, as soon as it came up, there were hundreds of shells, and the devils and puppet troops at the gate of the county were beaten and retreated into the county, and what was even more unexpected was that later there were heavy artillery involved, and even the city wall of the county town was blown down in several places, this should be the equipment that the national army only had, is it the national army and the Eighth Route joint siege? Kato immediately became nervous, ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and everyone gathered in the city to hold on, without knowing the enemy's situation, Kato did not dare to go out of the city, but there were two brigades of national troops opposite him and he was far away......

This was the telegram received from the inoue durian farmer, and the convoy transporting the arms was also hijacked, which made Kato even more nervous, this time there were several truckloads of poison gas bombs in the arms. Otherwise, how could it be so cautious this time, and several meetings were held in a row to arrange the deployment of the transportation plan. If these gas bombs fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will be a big incident, these chemical weapons have always been banned in the world, and the Japanese have always denied that they had used gas bombs. Moreover, there were quite a few people ambushing the transport convoy, at least 200 people, among whom Li Dashan was also discovered, which made Kato very suspicious that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army besieging the county seat, and originally wanted to divide troops to reinforce Fang Tongzhen, but now Kato began to worry that the troops in the county town were not enough! What's even worse is that several city walls have been blasted open by the opponent's heavy artillery, and if they rush in, they will have less than 2,000 men and horses in their hands, and there are so many wounded, this may not be able to stop it!

Kato quickly made two decisions, the first was to ask for help from the garrison devils in the freight yard behind him, and the second was to immediately send Ono Shoji from Huangqi Town to bring people and horses to reinforce Fang Tongzhen as soon as possible. Although there are not many people in Ono's second-hand life, he has a truck, and if he drives at full speed, he can reach Fangtong Town in an hour. As for the defense of Yellow Flag Town, Kato did not think that the Eighth Route Army still had the extra strength to attack Yellow Flag Town, as long as there were one or two squads of devils and puppet troops, it would be enough to hold Yellow Flag Town.

After Ono Shoji received the order, he didn't dare to slack off, although he felt that he was not very relieved about Huangqi Town, but he also thought that if the Eighth Route Army was attacking from two sides now, it was unlikely that there would be enough strength to attack Huangqi Town, and the two turrets in Huangqi Town were not vegetarians, and he also left a squad of devils, plus two hundred puppet troops, it should be enough to hold Huangqi Town.

At this time, Kato's call came again, this is already the third call, because Inoue Durian did not go far after the ambush and encountered a second ambush, this time it was worse, the tires of several cars were burst, and those robbers and Balu still left after the fight, which made Inoue Durian very panicked, like this, when will he be able to transport the arms to Ah, if something goes wrong, it will be fatal, he also knows that this time the ammunition is poison gas bombs, so he sent a distress telegram to Kato again.

Ono Shoji was also anxious this time, it seems that the situation in Fang Tongzhen is not good, the vehicles transporting munitions are trapped, and the gas bombs in this batch of munitions are more important than his Huangqi Town. Ono immediately ordered his two squadrons to load their men and horses into the car and rush to Fangtong Town as fast as possible. Speaking of Ono, the captain is also pitiful, now he has a total of 500 people in his hands, more than half of his troops have suffered casualties on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and 200 people are now living in the hospital in the rear, especially his cavalry battalion of more than 100 people, now there are only 70 horses and 26 cavalry left. He was a field army, and he had been fighting in recent months, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and the personnel were also very tired, so he was evacuated to Huangqi Town to recuperate. However, the combat effectiveness of his troops was very strong, and Kato was relieved to send him to reinforce Fang Tongzhen.

……

Zhang Guangzu here is more and more distressed, so many shells are almost gone, I haven't seen the devils of Huangqi Town dispatched, fortunately this time Brigade Commander Fan gave a lot of support from behind, and he was stunned to use all the heavy artillery, Zhang Guangzu believed that under the bombardment of these heavy artillery, Kato would definitely be ready for battle, and he would never dare to divide his troops to support Fang Tongzhen. Look at the direction of Fang Tong Town, there have been three beacon fires, which means that the ambush there has been fought three times, and when the fourth beacon fire is lit, if the devils in Huangqi Town still do not move, then he will lead the men and horses to kill Fang Tong Town, go to support the first battalion commander and them, and at the same time turn the fake robbery into a real robbery!

At this time, the soldiers sent out to investigate ran back to report that the devils of Huangqi Town were dispatched, many trucks, Zhang Guangzu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered these people under his command to retreat, as long as the devils of Huangqi Town drove through the county, they would immediately kill back to Huangqi Town, and cooperate with Xiao Zhenbei to take Huangqi Town in one fell swoop. This operation is now half successful, and Zhang Guangzu can't help but become more and more confident!

Sure enough, Ono Shoji's speed was not ordinarily fast, and he arrived at the county seat after only ten minutes, but he was also a little puzzled at this time, the artillery that attacked the county town stopped, and the Eighth Route Army besieging the county town was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army turned around and went to attack my Yellow Flag Town? Ono Shoji is also very experienced, and immediately thought of this problem, and at this moment, a series of heavy artillery shells flew over, which immediately dispelled Ono's thoughts, and he immediately commanded the drivers around him: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry up, hurry to Fangtong Town!" If you don't hurry, you may be hit by a shell, this is a heavy artillery, and a shell can blow up a carload of people.

Seeing Ono Shoji speeding towards Fangtong Town, Zhang Guangzu gave an order to all of them to return to Huangqi Town, this time to take Huangqi Town with an absolute numerical advantage. At the same time, Zhang Guangzu also lit a beacon fire here, which was to tell the first battalion commander that he could retreat, and at the same time to tell Xiao Zhenbei that they were going to kill back. If you light two beacon fires, it means that Zhang Guangzu is going to kill Ben Fang Tongzhen. You see, the ancient way of transmitting messages has also been brought into full play by them!

……

At the same time, Xiao Zhenbei and Zhuang Quan were also prepared, and Zhuang Quan and others were ambushed around the turret, specifically to deal with the machine guns in the turret. Chu Ying and Zhao Hongmei both followed the troops of the Eighth Route Army to wait for orders, Wei Baobao wore a steel helmet and followed Zhao Hongmei's side, originally he wanted to lie on Chu Ying's side, but he failed to succeed. Xinghua still persistently followed behind Zhuang Quan.

Now there are 408 Route Army, more than 200 guerrillas on the periphery of Huangqi Town, as well as 200 men and horses of Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu, plus more than 200 people rushed back by Zhang Guangzu, and 100 short spear teams in Huangqi Town, which is enough to have the strength of a reinforced regiment. And the devils and puppet army in Huangqi Town are less than 300 people in total, and this time, Xiao Zhenbei has an absolute numerical advantage!

"Hit!"

With Xiao Zhenbei's order, a fierce attack was launched on Huangqi Town!
