Liu Lianming, who wanted to continue to completely destroy this armored vehicle to reduce the threat to his defense, was suppressed by the infantry shells of the Japanese army, plus the fire of light and heavy machine guns, and he couldn't even lift his head. I can only look at this resurrected Type 94 armored car, the machine gun on the tiny turret, constantly providing fire cover for the infiltration of the surrounding Japanese infantry.

In the end, it is an armored weapon, no matter how thin the armor is, but it is also an armored vehicle. Although the bundle of cluster grenades is not small, it is still a little less powerful for the complete destruction of this azuki bean chariot. The bundle of cluster grenades blew off the armored vehicle's tracks and stunned the occupants inside.

However, because the location was not ideal, it was not possible to completely destroy the armored vehicle. The occupants inside came to their senses after a brief period of fainting. When the vehicle cannot be driven, the machine gun in the vehicle is constantly fired to provide fire cover for its own infantry.

Just when Liu Lianming gritted his teeth, picked up a grenade and wanted to rush over and completely blow up this dead but not stiff guy. Originally, I thought that the squad leader who had died under the suppression of Japanese firepower, but now he was only stunned, struggled to stand up again.

Without weapons, he picked up a brick from the rubble on the ground, braved the fire of the Japanese troops from behind, and rushed to the turret of the armored car. This squad leader is probably also red-eyed when he saw the armored car that he thought had been blown up by himself, resurrected and suppressed his comrades.

When all the weapons on his body were thrown to his comrades, and he didn't even have a grenade on his body. Opened the turret hatch of this armored car, and smashed a brick down. However, although this brick does not have absolute lethality, it is estimated that the person in the car was also smashed by this sudden sudden.

The machine gun, which had just been firing wildly, suddenly stopped. Ignoring the rain of bullets around him, the squad leader leaned directly into it, and the Japanese commander who was smashed in the turret and turned his head like a chicken cub out of the smashing Japanese commander, and jumped into the body of the tank.

After a period of silence, the track was blown off, but the hull was still intact, just blocking the 94 armored vehicle along the main road in the village. The turret shook for a while, and after barely aiming at the line of attack of the Japanese follow-up forces, the machine guns on the turret opened fire again. The infantry behind him who was cut off by Liu Lianming suddenly knocked down a piece.

This Japanese Type 94 armored vehicle, which had one of its tracks blown off, was stuck here, blocking the only east-west street in the village with machine gun fire from the turret. And Liu Lianming reacted quickly, and immediately commanded the troops around him to spread along the perimeter of this armored car, and started a tug-of-war with the Japanese army in the village.

The Japanese army was suppressed by the machine guns on armored vehicles of their own making. In order to knock out the obstructive armored car as soon as possible, infantry with grenades were constantly sent to try to blow up the armored car. He even dragged the infantry cannon over and fired it flat, trying to knock out the armored car.

For a while, the Japanese forces that attacked the village from the east were attracted by this armored car. Under this situation, Li Ziyuan concentrated all the forces he could concentrate and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army that was infiltrating and attacking behind the defensive position to the south in the village.

Li Ziyuan's counterattack was not carried out hastily, but chose the part of the Japanese army that was the most threatening to him to infiltrate the attack line, that is, the southeast of the village. Li Ziyuan's intentions are clear. Deal with this area of the Japanese army first, avoid the defensive positions in the south, which are now desperately blocking the attacking Japanese troops from being attacked by the enemy, and knock out the infantry artillery positions of the Japanese troops advancing here.

The ruins of the village made the formations of both the offensive and defensive sides chaotic. Li Ziyuan, with the few troops around him, took advantage of the cover of the ruins and broken walls, and rushed towards the Japanese position in the southeast corner while opening the way with shell guns and grenades. did not expect that Li Ziyuan would have the ability to carry out a counter-charge of the Japanese army, but he was suddenly beaten by Li Ziyuan in a hurry.

In this battlefield environment full of broken walls, grenades and pistols are more useful than rifle guns, which are severely affected by the firing range. Li Ziyuan's troops had a large number of shell guns in their hands, and they took a big advantage in this environment where almost all of them were close combat.

However, in the face of Li Ziyuan's counterattack, the Japanese army in the southeast was fierce and abnormal, fighting to the death. And the Japanese army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, also discovered an anomaly in this aspect. Quickly moving in this direction, the strength of a squad was increased. The Japanese army can continue to reinforce in a steady stream, but Li Ziyuan, whose vital force has been used to the extreme, can no longer have troops to adjust.

After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Li Ziyuan, who could no longer attack, could only confront the Japanese army through the ruins. The two sides went back and forth, and a grenade battle began. In Li Ziyuan's words, this period of time can be described as extremely difficult for him and his troops.

Through the open passage, the Japanese army continued to increase its troops into the village. Li Ziyuan, whose vital strength was almost exhausted, could only rely on the ruins of the wall and the hard support of the Japanese army to ensure that the defensive position in the south of the village was not broken through behind it. But the situation in the defensive positions to the south is no less optimistic.

The east of the village was caught in a scuffle, and the Japanese troops, who could no longer fire as unscrupulously as before, turned almost all their firepower to the positions south of the village. Under the cover of round after round of artillery fire, the Japanese troops in the south of the village were divided into two echelons to charge in turn. Once the advance was blocked by the artillery behind them; Immediately open fire, sweep the shells everywhere there are bullets.

The infantry attacking by the Japanese army in front of them, under the cover of artillery fire, did not even give the defending troops in the south of the village a chance to breathe. Under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, the entire south of the village was completely turned into a pile of rubble, and it can even be said that it has been razed to the ground.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese charge also became stronger and stronger each time. After more than three hours of stubborn resistance, the defensive positions in the south of the village have been completely destroyed, and more than half of the troops deployed in the defense of the south of the village have suffered casualties, and they are no longer able to hold the defense line in the south of the village.

He Sanliang alternately covered, adopted the method of shrinking one after another, gave up the front-line position in the south of the village, and shrank the defensive position in the south of the village to the depth and moved closer to Li Ziyuan. In order to reduce the lethality of the Japanese artillery fire, He Sanliang deliberately maintained the rhythm of retreat, and formed a dog-tooth situation with the Japanese army in front of him.

After several hours of hard fighting, although they were still holding on, under the cover of intensive Japanese artillery fire, they attacked almost non-stop in turns. The reinforced company in Li Ziyuan's hands also paid heavy casualties. Half of the force is now left, and there is not much ammunition, especially machine gun bullets and grenades.

Looking up at the sky, there are still at least two hours before it gets dark. Li Ziyuan, who couldn't contact the mountain without a radio station, could only shake his head with a wry smile, and he didn't know what the situation was in the mountain. But judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there is no movement in the mountain.

If the main force in the mountain attacked, the Japanese army here would definitely take some of it. But at present, the Japanese army around him has not mobilized a single soldier at all, which means that there may not be any movement in the mountain. Didn't the superiors really grasp their intentions? Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan felt a headache.

If there is no action in the mountains, what will be the consequences of waiting for you? Could it be that this adventure of his own is really such a failure? But in any case, Li Ziyuan also knew that even if it was difficult, he had to persevere. Now that I have broken through, I am afraid that the little force I have left at hand will not be able to break through at all.

In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't know that at this time, several main regiments mobilized by the headquarters in the mountains had launched a full-line attack on the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area east of Hubei, and the fighting in the mountains was much more lively. The main force, with the cooperation of the divisional troops, had already divided the Japanese puppet army left in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei.

Li Ziyuan admired the chief, and now the division commander and commander of the military region is personally in command, and the troops of the five regiments are launching a comprehensive attack on the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei. From Qiaokou to Luoma to Pingchuan, the entire eastern mountainous area of Hubei has become a pot of porridge.

The sub-division troops of the Ludong Army, with the assistance of the main force, launched a large-scale sabotage battle against the Baijin Railway from Ludong to Hubei. and launched a local counterattack against the Japanese puppet army in Ludong. In order to contain the Japanese puppet army in Ludong, he was unable to go south to reinforce the enemy in Hubei.

The Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei was beaten bitterly under the rapid attack of the main force. This time, the main force entered the eastern part of Hubei to fight, and achieved maximum secrecy. Even before the main forces arrived on the battlefield, the Hubei local county party committee was not notified. From the gathering to the assembly, and from the time of dispatch to the dispatch of the troops, strict secrecy was carried out.

The operation of the main forces in the eastern mountains can almost be said to have reached the suddenness of the campaign launch perfectly. The Japanese puppet army, which was scattering and sweeping the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei, was almost taken by surprise. In the case of a hasty battle, it was divided and surrounded in a short time.

The Japanese army in Changzhi was sending troops everywhere to prepare for reinforcements to the eastern mountains. However, the Japanese army, which was eager to eat Li Ziyuan who was fighting alone at the moment, did not send reinforcements from the Japanese army who were fighting fiercely with Li Ziyuan. He even preferred to transfer reinforcements from other counties around the distance, rather than mobilize a single soldier to besiege Li Ziyuan's department.

The main force participating in the battle is organizing troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy in the mountainous area east of Hubei. Moreover, the intelligence system established by Liu Yanlai also transmitted Li Ziyuan's current battle situation back to the military sub-district. However, for Li Ziyuan's current predicament, he already has a certain understanding of the main force, and he is also trying to find a way to give him reinforcements.

However, even if the tide of the battle in the eastern mountainous area of Hubei was reversed, the 36th Division of the Japanese Army did not transfer to besiege Li Ziyuan's headquarters, and it was also the closest force to the battlefield in the eastern mountainous area of Hubei to reinforce the mountainous battlefield in the eastern part of Hubei. The practice of drawing reinforcements from farther away and reinforcing them to the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei was quite unexpected by the superiors.

The Japanese army actually preferred to transfer troops around the distance to reinforce the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, which were now already in a mess. If he knew the actual situation at the moment, Li Ziyuan probably didn't know whether he should cry or laugh if he was so valued by the Japanese army. But for the remaining two hours, Li Ziyuan knew that he had to persevere no matter what.

Fortunately, the Japanese army, which was flanked from both sides, suffered heavy losses in the previous battles. Although Li Ziyuan suffered more than half of the casualties, the two or more squadrons invested by the Japanese army also suffered casualties of nearly one squadron. Eventually, the Japanese army, which had been able to reduce its strength, abandoned the attack from the south and blocked the south with only one force, focusing all the attack on the east.
