According to Sun Weiguo's deployment, the four infantry battalions were deployed on the east and west sides of Linzhang County, while several villages and towns in Linzhang County were not attacked by the divisional troops of the Sixth Army, and only Sun Weiguo's headquarters was located.

Cheng Wenxuan chose to evacuate along here, but he did not encounter any resistance, and they also indirectly threatened the headquarters located in Haowang Village.

At seven o'clock in the evening of August 23, 1938, the vanguard of the First Division of the Imperial Allied Army approached the periphery of Haowang Village, and a skirmish broke out with the security guard company of the garrison headquarters.

However, all the actions of Cheng Wenxuan's troops had already been noticed by the personnel of the Intelligence Section, and Wang Kunyao immediately reported the news to Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong.

After Zhao Lerong received information from Wang Kunyao, he immediately began to send a signal corps to get in touch with Sun Weiguo.

Immediately, Sun Weiguo led the first battalion of Huang Gang, the fourth battalion of Zheng Guan Zilin, and the third battalion of Li Jiaxin's artillery to march towards Haowang Village.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the main force of Huang Gang's 1st Battalion was stationed in Shuangmiao Village on the left side of Haowang Village, the main force of Zheng Guan Zilin's 4th Battalion was stationed in Daying Village on the right side of Haowang Village, and the 3rd Battalion of Li Jiaxin's artillery set up an artillery position in Beiyuan Village, the rear of Haowang Village.

The guard company of the Independent Regiment withdrew to Beiyuan Village with the headquarters and served as the garrison of the headquarters.

At half past eight in the evening, in Shuangmiao Village, Huang Gang's first battalion position, the battalion commander Huang Gang looked outside the village with a telescope, and his face showed a solemn expression.

After Liu Jingnuma's 2nd Battalion suffered losses in Hanwang Village, Linzhang County, Huang Gang became more cautious, and he would not allow the 1st Battalion to make the same mistake.

The first battalion only paid the price of dozens of wounded in the capture of Zhangliji, and the first battalion has not suffered too many casualties so far, and Huang Gang intends to maintain this casualty number.

"Battalion commander, our company suffered few casualties, why did we let our company serve as a reserve."

The first company commander Wen Zihan came to the battalion commander Huang Gang, and he said with some puzzlement.

Wen Zihan is a student soldier, he has not participated in Sun Weiguo's army for a long time, but his speed can be called rocket speed, and he has become a company commander in a short time.

Moreover, looking at the entire Sixth Army divisional troops, Wen Zihan's first company is the only unit that has been awarded the title of Patriotic Company, which is a huge honor.

"Although the casualties of your first company are not large, but you are fighting continuously, the officers and soldiers are already very tired, you can rest and rest, let the second and third companies come to defend, and once there is a crisis, your first company will have to rise at any time." Huang Gang explained with a smile.

Before Wen Zihan could continue to speak, there was a fierce gunfire in the distance.

"It's the traveling platoon of the second company, it should be the puppet army coming, ordering the second and third companies and the first company of machine guns to be ready for battle." Huang Gang immediately gave an order and said.

As the troops became more and more sophisticated in their weapons, Sun Weiguo deliberately stressed many times that when the troops launched defensive operations in villages and towns, they must set up their main positions in villages and towns, use the houses in villages and towns as fortifications and fire points, and dig air-raid shelters.

A small number of troops are deployed on the positions outside the village, but there are many heavy weapons in the positions outside the village, and in front of the outlying positions, there are troops of varying numbers who serve as mobile posts.

The second company of the first battalion and the first company of machine guns were deployed on positions outside the village, and the fifth platoon of the second company served as mobile sentinels.

The troops of the 1st Division of the Imperial Allied Army chose to make a detour from Haowang Village, but they directly collided with the position of the 1st Battalion, and more than 100 people from a company of the puppet army encountered the fifth platoon, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

The fifth platoon had thirty rifles, three light machine guns, three grenadiers, one sniper, three light machine guns and three grenadiers, which were quickly erected.

When the puppet army began to charge, the three light machine guns immediately organized a crossfire network, and more than 10 people were killed on the spot by the charging puppet army.

The company commander of the puppet army was obviously unwilling to retreat like this, he organized the assault unit again, and also transferred four light machine guns to suppress the fire.

The three grenadiers of the fifth platoon immediately began to fire, and one by one the miniature grenades fired at the puppet army's light machine guns, and after knocking out the four puppet army's light machine guns, the fifth platoon began to withdraw to the main position under the cover of light machine guns.

The puppet army troops captured the abandoned temporary position of the fifth platoon, and the puppet army company commander immediately invited the meritorious report.

On the road, Cheng Wenxuan sat on the cross-bucket motorcycle with a yawn on his face, and his face showed a tired expression.

"How can there be gunshots in front, could it be that there are also troops of the Eighth Route Army in front, how many people are in this Eighth Route Army, won't Sun Weiguo's troops all come here?"

After hearing the gunshots in front of him, Cheng Wenxuan showed a puzzled expression on his face, and he immediately asked.

"Deputy division commander, a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army was found in front, but they have been routed by us, should we continue to march forward?"

An officer quickly ran in front of Cheng Wenxuan, and the officer immediately reported.

Cheng Wenxuan still had a tired expression on his face, but he was somewhat energetic, and Cheng Wenxuan looked ahead with a telescope.

The front was pitch black, and it was difficult for Cheng Wenxuan to see the specific situation in front.

"The front should be Shuangmiao Village, which is not very far from Haowang Village, since the Eighth Route Army troops appear in Haowang Village, then Shuangmiao Village will definitely have Eighth Route Army troops. However, if we make a detour to the flank, we may be attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Zhangliji and other places, and order the troops to break through directly from Shuangmiao Village. Tell the brothers, take Shuangmiao Village, and all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle will be rewarded with two pieces of the ocean! ”

Cheng Wenxuan knew that he could not continue to detour towards the flank, and if he encountered the Eighth Route Army troops on the flank, the consequences would be even more serious.

Therefore, without knowing how many Eighth Route Army there were in Shuangmiao Village, Cheng Wenxuan still chose to break through from Shuangmiao Village.

There were more than 3,000 people in the 1st Division of the Imperial Army, and these 3,000 people were equipped with weapons and ammunition provided to them by the Japanese army.

Cheng Wenxuan felt that there was no problem for his troops to break through a village, and he immediately gave the order.

SIX 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS ALSO BEGAN TO BE ERECTED, AND ONE BY ONE THE SHELLS WERE FIRED BY THE PUPPET ARMY, AND THE SHELLS FELL IN SHUANGMIAO VILLAGE, AND A HUGE EXPLOSION SOUNDED.

After receiving Cheng Wenxuan's order, more than 1,000 people of the 1st Regiment of the puppet army immediately began to attack Shuangmiao Village under the cover of artillery.
