"Isn't there still a mortar squadron in the county? Let them participate in the battle and take out the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army! The brigade commander ordered with a calm face.

"Isn't there still three infantry squadrons assembled at the east gate, with one infantry squadron and two companies of the Imperial Allied Army to reinforce the remaining three city gates, we must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and hold the county seat!"

"Chief of Staff, haven't you found out where the Eighth Route Army outside the city came from?"

When the last sentence was spoken, the brigade commander almost shouted.

The chief of staff ran over with a heavy face: "General, it is very likely that Zhouzhuang is really occupied by the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"The troops reinforcing Zhouzhuang also lost contact. Not surprisingly, they were also wiped out by the Eighth Route Army! ”

"The Eighth Route Army, which is attacking us outside the city, must be the troops of the 386 Brigade. Now two mortar batteries and a large number of heavy machine guns have appeared, and it is certain that they are the main force of the 386 brigade! But it's not clear what the exact number is! ”

"Also, I don't know why the Eighth Route Army came to attack the county seat instead of Fengling Town, I don't know if they really attacked or if it was the same as attacking Zhouzhuang, just covering people's eyes and ears, and attacking the west!"

"Boom, boom!" Suddenly, an even more violent explosion reached the command headquarters.

The brigade commander, who was suddenly stunned, had not yet reacted, and the artillery staff officer of the command headquarters had already turned pale, and then exclaimed: "It's heavy artillery, and the heavy mortar that once appeared in the Eighth Route Army has appeared again!" ”

"Are you sure it's a heavy mortar!" The brigade commander stared at the artillery staff and asked rhetorically.

"Humble confirmation, dare to vouch for your head!" The artillery staff nodded in affirmation.

"Now it's clear, everything is clear!" The brigade commander finally showed a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Where there are heavy mortars, it must be the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. They didn't plan to attack Fengling Town at all, but directly attacked the county seat! ”

The chief of staff also suddenly realized and said: "General, I understand!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army wants to take the county seat and eliminate the main force of our brigade. If the main force of our brigade is eliminated, this place will become their world again. As for Fengling Town, where we have hoarded a lot of grain, they can take it as they want! ”

"It must be so!" The brigade commander affirmed.

Then he began to give orders: "Gather all the troops in the city that can fight, and all enter the fortifications to defend the city." Mountain artillery brigade, immediately counterattack and kill the heavy mortar unit of the Eighth Route Army! Chief of Staff, how to arrange the distance is up to you. No matter how fierce the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army are, and how big our casualties are, we must hold out until dawn! ”

"Also, I will personally send a telegram to His Excellency the Division Commander, asking His Excellency the Division Commander to send at least two infantry brigades to reinforce us!"

"In continuous sweep operations, our losses are too great. The remaining forces are no longer enough to deal with the counteroffensive of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The four words of the decisive night were very stimulating to the two commanders of the independent regiment and the new regiment.

With just one fighter, two regiments lost nearly a battalion of troops.

The Japanese puppet army also suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese puppet army in the city was even more sure that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack the county seat!

At the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, the chief of staff was in a very good mood, holding the telegram he had just received, and before he rushed into the war room, he reported: "Brigade commander, Captain Wang, a telegram jointly sent by the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment!" ”

"The siege is going well, but the casualties are a little bigger. Judging from the counterattack firepower of the defenders, the more than 2,000 puppet troops in the county town should have gone to the battlefield! ”

"Okay, what we want is for the devils to press on the whole army! There are no troops to reinforce Fengling Town! "At this point in the battle, it can be said that the purpose of the 386 Brigade has been achieved more than half tonight. The nerves that had been tense for half a night finally relaxed, and he exclaimed with a rare happy face.

"Send a telegram to their two regiment commanders, continue the offensive and do not worry about casualties. As long as there is food, we will have as many soldiers as we want! ”

Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "The time should have come!" Wang Ping, the 772nd regiment should be able to move! ”

Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Brigade commander, it's time to attack!" ”

"Also, there are a large number of devil special forces hidden in the Japanese army garrison in Fengling Town, and it is likely that the main force of the devil special forces is there. Huang Yuanqiang is not at ease when he is alone, I plan to go there in person, try to get to know the devil special forces, and kill them completely! ”

"Go ahead! Stay safe! Brigade Commander Chen did not refuse, and replied very quickly.

The special combat team was formed for the Japanese special forces, and now the devil special forces are in front of him, as the founder and direct commander of the special combat team, there is no reason for Brigade Commander Chen to continue to keep Wang Ping in the command and prevent him from killing his opponent.

"Machine gun cover, attack!" As soon as they received the order to attack, nearly 1,500 people of the 772nd Regiment rushed to Fengling Town like a tiger out of the cage.

As soon as the "Da ......" rushed more than 100 meters in front of the formation, the sound of machine gun fire sounded in the Japanese position. The fighters who rushed to the front were instantly smashed into a sieve by bullets, and then fell in the way of the charge.

"The machine gunner fire suppressed, and the artillerymen immediately set up the mortars and killed the devil machine gunners!" The battalion commander's eyes instantly turned red and shouted loudly.

"Bang bang...... Da Da Da ...... Boom Boom Boom ......" instantly, the quiet town of Fengling was enveloped by the sound of gunfire and explosions.

The 772nd Regiment greatly underestimated its opponents.

With the participation of the devil's special forces, the limited machine-gun fire of the Japanese army was very tricky and constantly shifted.

A battalion fired a dozen shells and destroyed only one heavy machine gun. On the contrary, he lost several gunners and machine gunners, all of whom were shot in the head by devil snipers.

"Organize a death squad and prepare to blow up the devil's firepower point with an explosive pack!" The commander of the first battalion gritted his teeth and ordered.

Soon, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army rushed out.

It was not easy to rush to the front of the formation, and more than ten meters to attack the Japanese position with grenades. A burst of submachine gun fire suddenly sounded in the Japanese position, and a platoon was left with more than a dozen death squads far away, and before they even had a chance to pounce down and hide, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by the sudden bullet storm in front of them.

"Get out, the artillerymen will open fire immediately, shoot all the shells, and kill the devil who shot just now!" The commander of the first battalion clenched his fists and ordered decisively.

The sound of artillery rang out, and the Japanese position, which was still full of gunfire just now, instantly fell silent, except for the sound of explosions, there was not a single gunshot.

After dozens of shells smashed through, a new round of attacks began.

To the disappointment of the battalion commander, several tongues of fire appeared again in the thick smoke of gunpowder!

"There are devil special forces here, snipers are in place, kill devil snipers, firefighters cover, prepare for an assault!" When the first battalion commander was about to continue to send out the death squad, Huang Yuanqiang's voice suddenly sounded behind the first battalion commander.
