"Captain Chen, is that you?" Xu Hailang and the three of them had obviously seen Chen Ming, and their words were full of concern and excitement.

Faintly, there were even tears flashing in his eyes.

Chen Ming turned his head when he heard this, strode towards Xu Hailang and the others, and nodded solemnly: "Battalion Commander Xu, Battalion Commander Lu, Deputy Battalion Commander Ma, it's me!" ”

Xu Hailang pounced, ran over directly, and gave him a big bear hug.

"Haha! Great, I knew that you Chen Ming didn't die so easily! As he spoke, Xu Hailang's tears couldn't help but flow.

Brothers in life and death, reborn after the catastrophe, this kind of touching is indescribable!

Especially in the first battle of Gushi, Xu Hailang's reconnaissance battalion did not return to Gushi because it was responsible for reconnoitering the enemy's situation and fought side by side with everyone.

And this is exactly what he is most frustrated about!

He secretly blamed himself more than once, if it wasn't for his reconnaissance battalion not participating in the battle, Chen Ming wouldn't need to fight to the death, and in the end, he wouldn't have to sleep in Gushi City.

Although Xu Hailang knew that in the face of 100,000 enemy troops, even if his reconnaissance battalion participated in the battle, it would not play a role.

But this thorn in my heart was planted forever.

It wasn't until now, when he saw Chen Ming with his own eyes and saw Chen Ming alive, that this thorn in his heart was finally pulled out.

Chen Ming couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw his good brother crying, and said with emotion: "Yes, I also thought that I would never come back this time!" ”

Lu Yuan and Ma Fei said happily on the side: "Yes, if Tuanzao knows about this, he will definitely be happy!" ”

Xu Hailang put away his smile, turned his head to look at Wang Gui on the side, and asked with a dark face: "Chief of Staff, such a big happy event, why didn't you notify us in advance?" ”

Wang Gui knew that Xu Hailang would have such a question, shook his head and explained with a wry smile: "My battalion commander Xu, it's not that I won't inform you about this matter.

It's really our radio station, which was damaged in the previous battle, so I can't contact you at all.

In other words, if Captain Chen hadn't appeared in time and relieved us of the siege, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a chance to question me now. ”

"Really?" Xu Hailang looked at Chen Ming suspiciously.

Chen Ming nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's because the radio station was destroyed that I can't contact you!" Otherwise, how could we fight alone this time to encircle the point and send reinforcements. ”

"Oh!" Xu Hailang was relieved and bowed slightly.

Hearing the words of the chief of staff just now, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Although Wang Gui did not elaborate, Xu Hailang knew that there was danger in each of them, and it was by no means as simple as a few words.

Fortunately, everyone was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ming put away his excitement and said awe-inspiringly: "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry up and take advantage of the devils and puppet troops in Guzhen before they react, immediately wave their troops to the south and raid and capture there!"

Complete this mission first! ”

Xu Hailang immediately nodded in agreement: "I have received a telegram from the regiment, asking my troops to take Guzhen and mobilize the Japanese army at all costs!" Disrupt their deployment!

Now the group is surrounded by more than 20,000 devils, or even more!

If we can't open up the situation on the periphery in time, they may be in danger! ”

"Okay, in that case, let's act quickly!" Chen Ming made a quick decision.

Therefore, except for a small number of soldiers who left behind to clean up the battlefield and collect the booty, the rest of the army went straight to Guzhen.

Not long after, Sun Chengcheng received a new order from Wang Gui, and immediately changed his feint attack to a real attack!

At this time, the puppet army and devil gendarmes in Lingbi County have suffered more than half of the casualties, and only many puppet soldiers have even given up resistance.

With more than 300 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment and the Heavy Battalion, they launched an attack from all sides at the same time, and it took less than half an hour to successfully take the county seat and completely annihilate the devil gendarmes and puppet troops in the city.

Surrender? Sorry, we don't need captives!

The battlefield was briefly cleaned, some of the ammunition consumed was replenished, and the county town was destroyed.

Afterwards, Sun Cheng left Lingbi with the army and chased the main force in the direction of Guzhen.

With the arrival of Xu Hailang's troops, the strength of the surprise attack on Guzhen has increased to nearly 1,500 people.

Compared with the strength of the defenders, the difference is not so obvious.

In addition, the infantry artillery and mortars under Xu Hailang's department were not lost, and it became extremely simple to attack Guzhen.

Xu Hailang and Wang Gui surrounded three and one, and the troops were divided into three routes, and launched an attack on the south gate, east gate and west gate of Guzhen at the same time.

Leave the north gate alone for the defenders in the city to escape.

The bunker located outside the city gate is made of some ordinary bricks and stones, not a reinforced concrete structure.

It can also withstand the bombardment of machine guns and grenadiers, and it cannot resist the bombardment of 75mm caliber infantry guns and mortars.

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

With the order of Xu Hailang and others, outside the south gate, the artillery who were waiting for the battle opened fire one after another.

These bunkers of the devils were quickly blown into ruins by the high-explosive howitzers that broke through the air.

The devils inside were either killed or buried alive inside.

Subsequently, the attacking troops aimed their guns at the head of the city, and after several bombardments, the defenders of the city head were bombarded in pieces, and after a dizziness of the head, the besieging army launched an all-out attack under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire.

The demoralized devils and puppet soldiers, knowing that the north gate was not attacked, gave up resistance one after another, and rushed towards the north of the city, and finally abandoned the city out of the north gate and fled.

The army of the Tiger Ben Regiment that attacked the city, under the joint leadership of Xu Hailang, Wang Gui, Chen Ming and others, followed and pursued all the way.

In the end, together with Sun Cheng's subordinates who returned to the camp, they attacked back and forth, and annihilated this part of the Japanese puppet army in a wilderness 10 outside the north of Guzhen City.

Subsequently, they waved back to Guzhen and wreaked havoc on Guzhen Station and the Jinpu Railway Line.

So far, Dingyuan, Lingbi, Guzhen and other places have been taken by various departments of the Tiger Ben Regiment one after another.

What must be worth listening to is that when the various units of the Tiger Regiment completed the tasks assigned to them by Yang Chen, they also wreaked havoc on the railways and highway bridges in the Japanese theater.

In this way, the process of transporting troops through chariots and horses was greatly delayed.

…………

Hefei, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

After receiving the news, a communications staff officer on duty was so frightened that he sweated profusely and immediately ran to report the situation to Okamura Ninji.

After listening to Okamura Ninji sleepily, he was taken aback, the tiredness and sleepiness on his face were swept away, his eyes shook, and he asked in disbelief, "Nani?" You say Guzhen has also been lost? ”

"Haya!"
