The arsenal was bombed earlier, and the train carrying the arms was hijacked at the moment. The two things www.biquge.info that were not long apart really made the Japanese troops in Qixian and Taigu extremely angry and headaches, and they desperately wanted to know where the attackers came from.

After receiving a telegram from the Taigu garrison, he learned that the army had been attacked at the Wangzhuang stronghold that was about to arrive in Qi County, and a large number of Japanese troops gathered near the Dongguan Railway Station in Qi County were immediately assembled and accelerated to the Wangzhuang stronghold to carry out support.

Even if the train was robbed in Taigu, for the Qi County garrison, if this batch of munitions could not be transported to Dongguan, then the troops waiting for weapons and ammunition in front of them would become very passive on the battlefield.

It can be said that now he and the Taigu garrison are two grasshoppers tied to a rope, and helping Taigu is also helping himself. Only by ensuring the successful arrival of the arms in Dongguan can he deliver the urgently needed arms to the front-line troops on time.

It's just that compared with the time when the Japanese troops stationed in Taigu arrived at the stronghold in Wangzhuang, the Japanese troops who rushed from Qixian County to reinforce the army undoubtedly took longer to march. And just arrived at the Xinzhuang stronghold, the Japanese troops who came to help were also blocked.

The third company of the independent battalion sent to block near the stronghold in Xinzhuang, looking at the large number of Japanese troops who came to help, the commander of the third company also said in a timely manner: "Comrades, the little devil is here, hurry up and fight a good battle, and then we will withdraw quickly!" ”

While ordering the order to block the attack, the commander of the third company did not forget Zhao Tiehu's previous explanation, and quickly sent someone to the Wangzhuang stronghold to deliver the letter. Upon learning of this, Zhao Tiehu also ordered the independent battalion to prepare to meet the third company, and then began to retreat.

In fact, when the Japanese army in Taigu gave up the strong attack and planned to contain Zhao Tiehu's troops who were holding the stronghold of Wangzhuang, Zhao Tiehu was ready to retreat. Now that the little devil in Qi County arrives, he will naturally not fight hard with the little devil.

The goal of robbing the military column has been accomplished, and all that remains to be done is the turn of the combat detachment to contain the little devils, instead of letting the little devils contain themselves. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, it is best to continue the battle in the mountains!

After hearing that Zhao Tiehu asked the independent battalion to withdraw from his palace first, Zhang Mingxiang, the commander of the independent battalion, personally ran to the stronghold and said: "Old company commander, you should withdraw first, and I will lead the troops to replace your palace!" ”

'Fart! What's the matter, do you want to grab a task with Lao Tzu? Hurry up and lead the troops to get out, don't mix with the next blocking battle. Your independent battalion has only one task in the future, and that is to secure those weapons and ammunition.

If nothing else, the higher authorities will definitely send the main force over to receive this batch of weapons and ammunition. If you really want to fight the little devils, wait until the main army comes. The little devils that are attracting now are all coming at me, understand?

And I'm worried that the little devils will divide their forces and carry out a sweep of our base areas. When the time comes, your task will also be very heavy, and you must ensure the safety of the people in the base area, as well as weapons and ammunition. If something happens, I'll clean you up! ’

After unceremoniously reprimanding Zhang Mingxiang, Zhang Mingxiang, who was being trained, thought about it and felt that Zhao Tiehu's concerns were also reasonable. In view of this situation, he could only say honestly: "Okay, then I'll withdraw first, old company commander, you must take care!" ”

'Get out of here!' Just rely on the stinky fish of the little devil to find trouble with Lao Tzu, they are not qualified. I will try my best to contain some little devils for you and lead them to Yunling. As long as I enter the mountain, I will be safe.

I told you earlier that I came from the depths of the Cloud Ridge. The little devil really wanted to be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops, and Lao Tzu directly led people back to Qi County. I can get out at any time, but you're different. So, be more prepared to deal with the enemy, remember? ’

'Remember! ’

Even if Zhao Tiehu wanted to spend more time with Zhang Mingxiang, he also understood that it was common to fight behind enemy lines, gathering less and leaving more. As long as he knows that his old subordinates are still alive and improving, he will also feel comforted and relieved.

As long as you can live until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, I believe that there will be a chance to reunite next time. And at present, their most important task is to eliminate more little devils who invaded China, to be precise, Shanxi.

Only by winning this war of resistance and gaining absolute superiority in Shanxi will they have a chance to reunite in the army sooner or later in the future. And now that the time situation is tight, they are not allowed to influence official affairs for the sake of private affairs.

After sending Zhang Mingxiang away, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Liu Cheng, notify the second detachment and prepare to retreat!" Each grenadier squad prepared fire cover in the second line of positions to buy some time for the second detachment to retreat. ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

As Liu Cheng conveyed Zhao Tiehu's order, the grenadiers that had not been used much before, this time they were all concentrated in the second position. After setting up the grenadiers, Liu Cheng also blew the whistle for retreat.

The Japanese puppet army, which had been attacking, soon found that the Eighth Route Army in the forward position was rapidly retreating backwards. The little devil officer in charge of the command immediately shouted: "Attack! Can't let the dirt eight roads run! ”

According to the previous order of Yoshinaga Ismo, their attack should not be too fierce, and from time to time let the puppet army rush in waves, contain the Eighth Route Army on the position, and not let them retreat easily. As soon as the Eighth Route Army retreated, the attacking troops immediately launched a pursuit.

Under the order of the little devil officer, the Japanese soldiers, who were originally lying on the ground and shooting at the Eighth Route Army, immediately got up and accelerated and rushed forward. As a result, just after a few steps, the scene that shocked the attacking troops was staged again.

On the second position, not far from the forward position, a series of 'collapse' sounds were suddenly heard. What followed was a grenade that fell like hail, enveloping almost all the range of the Japanese puppet army's charge.

With a series of explosions sounded, the Japanese puppet army that was charging was instantly suffering heavy casualties, and Yoshinaga Kazumoku, who was watching the battle in the rear, also exclaimed: "Yaga! How can there be so many grenadiers? ”

As the standard equipment of the Japanese infantry, the Japanese squads and squadrons were rarely equipped with mortars. To be precise, the Japanese infantry had a very small number of mortars, and grenadiers were an offensive and defensive weapon that almost every squad would be equipped with.

In battles beyond the range of grenadiers, most Japanese troops will use weapons such as infantry guns. In terms of power and weaponry, it seems to be better than a mortar. Long and short matching, the power is indeed not small.

Previously, when the Eighth Route Army was defending, it also used grenadiers, so that the little devil's machine gun could not be set up at all. Even the little devil also used a grenadier to return fire, but the effect did not seem to be very ideal.

At present, the Eighth Route Army in the forward position began to retreat, and the Japanese puppet army that was pinned down thought that the other side wanted to run and planned to charge and follow, but it was bombarded by dozens of grenades in turn, which can be imagined.

After the grenadiers in the second position fired three grenades each, Li Chengwu and the remaining combat team members also safely evacuated to the second trench. At this time, the grenadiers also took advantage of the situation to end the shelling cover.

Looking at Li Chengwu, who had returned safely, there were still some wounded and sacrificed soldiers, Zhao Tiehu didn't have time to be sad and quickly said: "Chengwu, cover the retreat of the wounded first, bring the sacrificed team members with you, you withdraw first, and I will give you the rear of the palace." ”

'Yes, Captain, be careful, I'm waiting for you to come back!' ’

In Li Chengwu, who was responsible for covering the wounded and carrying the sacrificed soldiers, most of the remaining combat team members concentrated in the second position and pillbox to block the Japanese puppet army that continued to attack.

Looking at the Japanese puppet army, which had been suppressed by artillery fire before, had already seized the forward position at this moment, Zhao Tiehu also sneered: "Order the artillery squad to carry out artillery bombardment, focusing on hitting the Japanese reinforcements, and ignore those who enter the position." After three rounds, withdraw! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

The artillery squad, which had been clearing the remaining Japanese artillery fire, again carried out artillery bombardment on the attacking Japanese troops. After three rounds of shelling, the Japanese army, which was sent by Yoshinaga Kazumoku to support the operation, suffered heavy losses again.

The choice of artillery bombardment instead of bombing the troops that seized the forward positions, but bombing the infantry that came to support them, really made Yoshinaga a little puzzled. But no matter what, seizing the forward position also gives the attacking Japanese army some cover.

After three rounds of shelling, seeing that the Eighth Route Army finally stopped shelling, Yoshinaga immediately said: "Send the reserve troops up and attack again to charge." After fighting for so long, it is estimated that the ammunition consumption of Tubalu must be not small.

Even if we have more casualties, we have to hold off these dirt roads, and when our reinforcements arrive, it will be the death of these dirt roads. Tell the attacking troops to spread out the attack as much as possible and not to crowd together, and to be careful of the shelling of the Tuba. ”

Knowing that the shells of the Eighth Route Army were specially fired at places with many people, Yoshinaga Kazumoku, who had suffered several losses, naturally would not make such a mistake again. As the previously recharged Japanese began to take on the main attack, the combat detachment responsible for blocking the attack also felt the pressure.

Fortunately, they occupied the advantage of the terrain, plus the big killing weapon of the pillbox, even if the Japanese army seized the forward position, it still failed to make much breakthrough. Many attacking Japanese troops were killed on the way to attack.

Liu Cheng, who had been staying in the trenches and paying attention to the situation of the forward position, looked at the trenches in the forward position, where a large number of Japanese puppet troops were hidden, and said in a timely manner: "Captain, it's almost time to do it!" ”

'Okay, order the troops, prepare to retreat!' As soon as the explosion sounded, everyone retreated! ’

'Yes! Then I'll give the order to detonate! ’

After getting Zhao Tiehu's nod, Liu Cheng came to both sides of the position with a smile on his face. Looking at the team members hiding in the trenches, Liu Cheng also nodded and said, "Light the fire!" ”

'Yes! ’

With several team members lighting the fuse buried in the ground, the Japanese puppet army, who was shooting at the forward position against the Eighth Route Army, did not know that a deadly disaster was about to happen, and still hid in the trenches of the forward position to attack.

Just when the Japanese troops in the rear entered the forward positions without interruption, preparing to wait for the final moment of counterattack. Yoshinaga Ichimoku, who had just learned of the arrival of Qi County's reinforcements, was excited, and suddenly saw a huge flame rising from the forward position.

Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid the little devil is, he knows that the troops staying in the forward position are really more auspicious now!
