"Da Da Da ......"

A volley of machine-gun fire from the flanks shattered the lieutenant's dream.

Immediately after, rifle fire and grenade explosions rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the first 20 or so Japanese puppet troops were covered by sudden firepower, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.

"Enemy attack! Concealed ......" The lieutenant subconsciously threw himself to the ground, then slowly raised his head, half-squatted on the ground, and shouted after glancing at the battlefield.

"Look at the firepower of the enemy, there is only one platoon, we concentrate our firepower and rush over, cover with grenadiers, and take out the enemy's firepower point!"

More than 100 Japanese puppet troops, armed with guns and light machine guns, under the cover of grenade canisters one after another, screamed and attacked forward, and the speed was very fast.

"Light machine guns shoot all, and you have to block the little devil even if you die!" The platoon commander lay on the ground, picked up a rifle of a sacrificed soldier, and gave the order while shooting.

"Boom ......"

Two explosions sounded nearby, and in the violent explosion, two machine guns were silenced on the spot.

After the black smoke from the explosion disappeared, the two machine guns fell to the side, and the machine gunner was blown to the ground, covered in blood, motionless.

"Among the secondary shooters, there are too many enemies rushing over, and the machine-gun fire cannot be stopped." The platoon commander was anxious and shouted at the top of his voice.

A few seconds later, the co-shooter touched the machine-gun position, with the butt on his shoulder, and continued to shoot at the devil......

"Platoon commander, the devil is crazy, don't rush towards us, the offensive firepower is fierce, everyone is about to lose it!" The deputy platoon commander shouted not far away, one of his arms was bitten by a bullet, and he couldn't use a rifle, so he could only lie on the ground and not move, waiting for the devil to rush closer and greet him with a pistol.

The platoon commander gritted his teeth and ordered: "If you can't stand it, you have to top it!" ”

"There must be our troops nearby, if you hold on for one more minute, they will kill them one more minute."

After finishing speaking, the platoon commander was still not at ease, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrades, unless we die, we must not let the devils enter the city, otherwise we will die more troops......"

A full platoon of infantry, with the last ten men left, reinforcements finally arrived.

A platoon came out from the flank, and three light machine guns spewed flames and swept towards the Japanese puppet army attacking troops.

The Japanese puppet army, which was caught off guard, immediately suffered a large number of casualties, and the surviving people were afraid of the ambush because they couldn't figure out the situation, so they hurriedly retreated.

The Japanese garrison headquarters in Huaiyuan County, the two blocking battlefields are too close to the county seat.

As soon as the gun went off, the command heard it.

It's still daytime, and the chief of staff of the military department, the wing commander, are all concentrated here.

The chief of staff reacted the fastest, and immediately realized that something had happened to the reinforcements, and his brows immediately furrowed.

The wing commander followed closely, stared at the chief of staff and said: "Sir, it must be the Eighth Route Army that is intercepting the imperial army troops who want to enter the city, the battlefield is at most five kilometers away from the county seat, and a rapid march can be killed in half an hour." ”

"The lowly adviser is to send troops out of the city to meet them immediately."

The chief of staff shook his head and refused: "You can't send troops!" ”

"No one knows how many Eighth Route Army lurking outside the city! If there are too many people, we will not only be able to save them, but the receiving troops will also be left outside the city, and we will lose our wives and soldiers, and we can't do this kind of stupid thing. ”

"And we're going to watch them get shut out of the city?" The wing captain was not willing to shout.

These reinforcements are too important.

Only when they all enter the city can everyone have the confidence to defend Huaiyuan County.

Now I can't enter the county, and with only more than 1,000 people in the city, it is too difficult to keep Huaiyuan County from losing.

"Whether they can enter the city or not can only rely on themselves." The chief of staff thought for a moment and replied.

"The Eighth Route Army is too powerful, we were just about to shrink our troops into the city, and they divided their troops and rushed outside the city to intercept them, and now I am 100% sure: the target of these Eighth Route Army is Huaiyuan County."

"First use the method of luring the snake out of the hole to weaken the strength of the county garrison, and then prevent the troops from outside the city from entering the city, and when the time comes, they will gather heavy troops to attack Huaiyuan City."

"Order: All garrisons in the city are on the city walls, except for the guards who protect the warehouses."

"The baggage team transferred twelve heavy machine guns and forty light machine guns from the ammunition depot to the city wall to strengthen the firepower of the garrison."

"The headquarters guard unit came out in half, gathered all the expatriate troops in the city, distributed weapons to them, and distributed them evenly to each wall."

"Immediately send a telegram to the Taiyuan Military Headquarters: The Eighth Route Army will gather heavy troops to attack Huaiyuan County this evening, and ask the headquarters to immediately send troops from nearby counties to reinforce Huaiyuan to ensure that there are no problems with the logistics supply of more than 20,000 troops on the front line."

The wing commander hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, should the telegram for help be sent to the army commander later?" ”

"Although we are very short of people, the county will be attacked tonight, but this is our judgment after all, and it has not really happened yet."

"Now it's such a big fanfare, in case we make a mistake, then the troops will be in vain, and it will be difficult for His Excellency the commander to explain."

The chief of staff hesitated for half a minute and then replied firmly: "No, send a telegram now, and the time will not wait for me." ”

"You look at the map, minus the front line and no man's land, there is only one garrison in the nearest county towns next to us, and some garrisons are not yet formed, even if they divide troops to reinforce us, they will send one or two infantry squadrons at most."

"There are too few troops, and the help for us to hold Huaiyuan County is very limited."

"Only Zhangjiakou, which is a little farther away, can send more than one brigade of troops to reinforce us."

"The troops were killed from Zhangjiakou here, and it took more than 20 hours to march urgently, and this was still the case that there were no accidents during the march."

"With the combat style of the Eighth Route Army, reinforcements must be arranged, and they will not be easily killed in Huaiyuan."

"So this reinforcement will take thirty hours at the earliest."

"After the county town is attacked, we are sending a telegram asking for help, can we hold out for thirty hours?"

"If the enemy attacks the city tonight, we will send a telegram now, and the troops will have to defend for several hours."

"Even if we don't attack the city, these reinforcements can strengthen the strength of the county garrison when they arrive, ensure that there are no problems with the logistics base under our feet, and let the front line have sufficient ammunition supplies to eliminate the garrison."

The wing commander was persuaded and immediately replied: "The chief of staff is wise, and he will go and give orders now." ”

"You're right, now send a telegram to the military headquarters, as if you are returning to the troops in the county."

"Regardless of whether the county seat will be attacked or not, the county garrison is strong, and we must be prepared."

At the siege headquarters, a fast horse rushed from the end of the road, and only began to slow down when it reached the gate of the headquarters.

One turned over, jumped off the war horse cleanly, and rushed into the command headquarters panting: "Report to Regiment Commander Li, I am the communications squad leader of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment." ”

"I was ordered to come and report: We have successfully intercepted a Japanese puppet army reinforcement force five kilometers east of the city, two Japanese squads and a company of the puppet army, and we are concentrating our forces to eliminate them."

Li Hao glanced at his watch and replied: "It's still an hour before it gets dark, and the devil's plane is gone." Go back and tell your battalion commander: After the battle is over, quickly clean up the battlefield and attack in the direction of the county seat. ”
