In one night, the eight mobile units of the devils were completely annihilated, and the independent mixed brigades and regiments were preemptively attacked before they were in place, and more than a dozen medium- and large-sized strongholds with empty troops were captured in succession.

In two consecutive battles, the garrison regiment not only killed a large number of Japanese puppet troops, captured a large number of weapons, ammunition and materials, but also gained a lot of radio stations.

Although they are all low-power receivers and telegraphs, and the range of radio wave transmission does not exceed 30 km, it is sufficient to use them in a guerrilla zone 100 km wide on the front and 50 km deep.

After the division of troops, each company was assigned a unit to contact the nearest battalion headquarters.

So what happened to the Seventh Company on the battlefield was soon known to Huang Sheng.

"Commander, something happened."

Li Hao followed the third battalion headquarters to act, and as soon as he had dinner, Huang Sheng hurriedly ran over, holding a telegram in his hand.

The telegram is not long, but it explains the whole thing very clearly.

After sweeping it, Li Hao's brows twisted.

After quickly finding the location of Dongzhuang on the map, he replied in a deep voice: "The decision of the Seventh Company is correct, and we must save these people." Even if we know that this decision will lead to the annihilation of the entire Seventh Company, we will fight this battle. ”

"As soon as the devil made a move, he pinched our weakness, which has always been what I was most worried about, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"Battalion Commander Huang, how many troops do you have at hand?"

"There are more than 1,000 devils, and they are waiting for them. The Seventh Company lost more than 100 people during the day, and its strength must have been greatly weakened, and if they only went to the battlefield on their own, they must have lost their wives and soldiers, and we had to go to help. ”

No one was more concerned about the safety of the Seventh Company than Huang Sheng, the battalion commander, and immediately replied: "I have a guard platoon in my hand. A baggage platoon, and a district squadron can be used. ”

Li Hao thought for a moment and made a decision: "Enough." ”

"I also have a guard company here, and then I will bring three hundred reinforcements, that is, three recruit companies."

"After this battle, the Seventh Company will definitely be broken, and when the time comes, no matter how many of these supplementary soldiers are left, all of them will be left behind to replenish the troops."

"Battalion Commander Huang, you stay at the battalion headquarters, give me the baggage platoon, and the district squadron, and I will personally lead the team."

"The straight-line distance from here to Dongzhuang is less than 20 kilometers, and with a detour, the rapid march will definitely be able to reach it in five hours."

"Call back to Qilian now: let him find a way to sneak attack the devils, harass them, and don't let them kill people again."

"After I arrived at the battlefield, the troops were divided into two, one took the initiative to attack the devils, and then defended Dongzhuang to attract the attention of the devils. One is lurking and standby, and at the right time to kill the devil's station, attack the east and west, and rescue the villagers. ”

"After the villagers successfully transfer, the two troops will cover each other and kill the devil encirclement."

On a small hill nearly a kilometer away from the devil's station, the commander of the Seventh Company was half-squatting on the ground, his eyes kept staring at the devil's station.

From the moment I arrived here, I never lowered the telescope held in front of me.

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Under the cover of night, a burst of gunfire could be heard from time to time not far away.

It was the sound of the exchange of fire from his subordinates attacking the devil's station.

In order to warn the devil, the main force of the garrison he wanted to eat has already arrived, and he should not continue to kill.

However, he obviously underestimated the determination of the devils to destroy them, and underestimated their ruthlessness.

"Company commander, it seems that someone has come out at the gate of the devil's station."

An exclamation suddenly sounded in the ears of the company commander.

Glancing at the gate of the camp, the company commander's anger rose, his fists clenched, and he subconsciously wanted to curse.

More than a dozen old men were punched and kicked out of the station by the devils and stood in a row not far from the door.

A dozen devils stood behind, rifles in their hands, aiming at them from behind.

"Fuck off, bitch boys, aren't we already here? How can I still kill people, I must write down this account. In the future, kill them all and avenge the villagers.

The company commander still didn't hold back in the end, smashed his fist on the ground, gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Bang ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the shots rang out.

Fifteen old men fell to the ground and were all shot dead.

The company commander closed his eyes in pain, compared to hearing that the common people were shot by devils, witnessing this scene brought him a greater shock.

See in the eyes, hurt in the heart.

He put down the binoculars and said to the instructor next to him, "We can't wait any longer. ”

"The regimental commander's reinforcements are at least three hours away."

"When they are in place, there will be nearly fifty villagers who will be murdered by devils."

The instructor hesitated for a moment and reminded: "But the regiment commander has an order, wait for him to arrive before launching an attack, and then attack the east and west to rescue the villagers." ”

"Now the regiment commander and reinforcements have not yet arrived, and we are not strong enough to fight at all."

"Fight, fight now, you can't hesitate any longer......" The company commander made a very resolute decision.

"If the regiment commander is here, he will definitely attack in advance."

"Dozens of villagers, there are probably children in them, and they must not die tragically at the hands of devils."

"As for what you just said."

"We can use the Seventh Company as one of the offensive troops, take the initiative to attack the devils, act as bait, and attract the devils to Dongzhuang to fight with us."

"Instructor, you wait here for the head of the regiment to come over and report the whole thing to the head of the regiment, and the head of the regiment must know what to do next."

The instructor thought for a moment and acquiesced: "I agree, but in this way, the casualties of the Seventh Company will definitely be unprecedented." ”

The company commander replied very resolutely: "As long as we can save dozens of deaths from the villagers, let the villagers feel the determination of our Eighth Route Army to protect them, and continue to believe in us, even if the Seventh Company is wiped out, we will not hesitate." ”

"So it was decided."

"When the regiment commander comes, tell the regiment commander that I will hold off the devils at all costs, and drag more devils to buy time for the main force to assault."

"If we don't have a chance to break through, we will have to pull a few more pads even if we die. And since I heard the news that the villagers were captured by the devils, I was ready to kill myself at any time. ”

"Tell the regiment commander that there is really no chance to cover our breakthrough, don't force it. Only a strong man broke his wrist. Keep the troops, and you will have a chance to take revenge in the future. ”

"The guard squad is going to act now."

"Lead the heavy mortars, mountain artillery, and flying thunder artillery that are inconvenient to transfer, as well as the remaining supplementary troops, district squadrons, and go directly to Dongzhuang to arrange street battle fortifications. We're going to fight the devils there for hours, and if we want to suffer few casualties, we have to have strong enough fortifications. ”

"This battle is related to the life and death of the Seventh Company, and it is also related to the lives of more than 200 villagers, so all the troops who can go to the battlefield will be on the battlefield, and no one will be left."

"The others followed me, went around to Dongzhuang, and directly attacked the devil's station, leading them to Dongzhuang."
