When Kondo Shuzo walked into Zhou's Xiazhuang, a platoon of the defenders who held Zhou's Xiazhuang had all died heroically.

Kondo took a rifle left behind by the defenders, pulled the bolt and looked at it, smirked shamefully, and threw it aside. As soon as he turned around, Kondo saw a scene of the defenders and the puppet army dying together: a puppet soldier was half-kneeling, and the bayonet was raised diagonally upward, piercing the defender's abdomen; The defenders' broadswords slashed through the puppet soldiers' necks, probably using up their strength, and only cut the puppet army's necks in half, resulting in a kind of image of puppet corpses and rifles supporting the defenders' remains.

Kondo Shuzo carefully looked at the stiff and unyielding faces of the defenders, and suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart: if these peasants who had just dropped their hoes were willing to die like these soldiers, would the Great Empire still be able to win this battle?

When he looked back at the flattering face of the puppet army battalion commander, Kondo Shuzo felt a little like he had eaten a fly. However, Kondo Shuzo still swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the nausea in his heart, called the pseudo-battalion commander, praised it, promised a big reward after the battle, and promoted the puppet battalion commander to the regiment commander, and then ordered the puppet battalion commander to reorganize the team and prepare to attack the other side.

It was already early, and Kondo Shuzo was determined to fight quickly, and ordered the artillery to start shelling the opposite bank, and the heavy machine guns fired non-stop to cover the infantry crossing the river.

This time, Kondo Shuzo did not hide his secrets, sent all the first squadron out, and ordered the second squadron to do a good job of the second wave of attacks, and he wanted to destroy the untrained militia on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Xinghua watched all the brothers stationed in a platoon of Zhou's Xiazhuang die, his eyes erupted with fire, and he couldn't wait to rush up immediately to fight the devil. But he knew that the little devil's light and heavy machine guns were lined up, waiting for him to rush up!

The water of the Ling River is not big, and it is the freshwater season at this time, and the river water can't stop the little devils. Fortunately, Li Wenli has been operating in this southwest mountainous area for a year, he no longer understands military affairs, and he also knows that guarding the mountain pass, the fortifications on the other side of the Ling River have been dug a long time ago, although they are simple, after all, there are trenches and foxholes, which can allow the brothers to rely on the fortifications to fight the enemy.

Xinghua cat ran around in the trench with his waist bent, and kept shouting: "Calm down, put the dog close and fight!" ”

When it came to the position of the reinforced platoon, which was all equipped with new guns, Xinghua told the brothers not to panic, just like shooting wild boars, aiming accurately, shooting a platoon of guns, and hitting a platoon of guns, not believing that the sister-in-law would not kill a few people.

After returning to the command position, Xinghua again sent two soldiers to ask for help from the regimental headquarters. This time, Gao Xinghua said very seriously: "Tell the regiment commander, hurry up for reinforcements, if it's too late, you can only burn paper for the brothers!" ”

The devils began shelling, shells exploded incessantly on the positions, and from time to time fighters were wounded or killed. Then the little devil began to move towards the river. In front is the skirmish line of the puppet army, and behind is the skirmish line of the devils. At this time, if there is a cannon, a few shells will blow up, and the little devil will be called to cry for his father and mother. It's a pity that Xinghua didn't. With a sigh in his heart, Xinghua still roared loudly: "Keep your body low, be careful of the devil's shells and machine guns!" ”

Seeing that the puppet army had moved to the river, Gao Xinghua had just shouted "fight" when he found that the little devil's heavy machine gun had begun to cover the fire, and the bullets hit the edge of the trench, making the brothers unable to raise their heads. After a while, there were people in the trenches shouting loudly to report that this one was dead and that one was wounded.

When Gao Xinghua saw this posture, he knew that the gap between his troops' weapons and equipment and that of the Yue army was too great, so he could only wait for the puppet army to get close to throw the grenade, and immediately ordered to stop shooting and prepare the grenade.

Kondo Shuzo saw through the binoculars that the gunfire on the defenders' position had thinned out, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of the command knife, the devil's flag soldiers waved a few times, and the devil's heavy machine gun hit even more happily.

Seeing that there were no more guns on the defenders' positions, the battalion commander of the puppet army also went crazy, jumped up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush forward, kill one prize and five joint coupons, and capture one prize and one or two cigarettes alive!" Rush! Give it all to Lao Tzu! ”

A puppet soldier turned around and shouted: "Battalion commander, why has the reward dropped?" Isn't it a prize of two oceans and two taels of tobacco? ”

The commander of the puppet army battalion kicked the puppet army on the buttocks: "Get out of your mother's eggs, the imperial army is not allowed to use silver dollars, they are all joint coupons!" ”

The little puppet army was going to be wordy again, and the puppet battalion commander was impatient, and the pistol was about to pull the trigger at him, which frightened the little puppet army's mother, and jumped down the river with a rolling belt and rushed forward.

Seeing that the puppet army was about to rush to the defenders' positions, the devil's infantry guns and heavy machine guns began to shoot extended.

Xinghua looked up and saw that the puppet army of the dog had arrived in front of the position, and the little devil was about to come up, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, throw the grenade!" After shouting, he grabbed the grenade in front of his face and threw it.

For a time, grenades fell into the puppet army group, and the dust and smoke of the explosion were everywhere.

As soon as the puppet soldiers saw the grenades flying all over the sky, they turned around and ran backwards. Gao Xinghua shouted: "Brothers, shoot a platoon gun, beat him a dog!" ”

Seeing the puppet army retreating, the soldiers all climbed into the trenches and began to shoot at the back of the puppet army. The two light machine guns also let out a crisp cry, happily harvesting the lives of the dog man.

The puppet army turned around and fled, angering the little devils of the second attack wave. The leader of the devil squadron commanded the knife and shouted, "Kill!" "The devil's crooked handle, the 38-style opened up to the puppet army.

The commander of the puppet army battalion looked at it, how did he make the imperial army and the militia join forces to fight the garrison? When he scolded, he threw himself on the ground and shouted "lie down" in a hoarse voice.

The puppet soldiers all pounced on the ground, and at this time it showed the level of tactical cooperation of the little devils. The devil's heavy machine guns and infantry artillery opened fire again, suppressing the defenders. The second squadron of devils who had passed the peace quickly formed a battle formation, and light machine guns and grenadiers also occupied positions and began to cover the attack of the little devils.

These little devils first ran quickly, and when they approached the position, they began to advance in a low manner, until they rushed to the front of the position, and even jumped up and began to throw grenades.

After all, Xinghua is a militia group, and they all catch a small group of devils and sneak attack when they fight little devils, and they have never fought against a large group of devils. As soon as he saw the attacking posture of the little devil's infantry, Gao Xinghua knew that the position could not be defended, and he had to fight with the devil. Wait a little longer, and I'm afraid some of the timid brothers will escape.

Xinghua pounced on the machine gun, pushed away the sacrificed machine gunner, and shouted: "Brothers, get on the bayonet and press down the devil!" "I picked up the machine gun and turned it on, and as soon as I went out, I knocked down the two devils in front of me one by one.

In a matter of moments, the little devil rushed into the position, his bayonet flashing with a cold light, and began to fight the brothers hand-to-hand.

Xinghua finished a shuttle, but he didn't have time to load the bullet, and a devil rushed over with a bayonet.

Xinghua flashed, and the machine gun in his hand was directly picked up, and the little devil's rifle was smashed away. At this moment, Gao Xinghua suddenly felt the wind behind him, hurriedly shrank back, squatted on the ground, pulled out his pistol, didn't look at it, raised his hand to shoot, and beat the sneak attack devil upside down. Just as he was about to shoot again, the little devil who had knocked out his rifle pounced on him and grabbed Xinghua's throat at once.

Xinghua pushed the little devil hard, trying to push the guy away, but the little devil was very strong, he was held down in the throat again, his breathing was not smooth, and between his hands, he grabbed the crotch of the little devil, and with a fierce force, the little devil let go of his hand with a painful "whoop". This time, Xinghua finally breathed smoothly, pushed the little devil away, rolled to the side, touched a grenade, and just about to stand up, he felt a pain like a tear on his body. When he looked up, he saw that the two little devils stabbed bayonets into their bodies at the same time, and the devil's smiling pig face was in front of his face.

Xinghua was heartbroken, pulled the string of the grenade, struggled to stand up, and glared at the devil with the grenade.

When the two little devils saw the smoking grenade, they tried hard to pull out their bayonets. How can Xinghua let them get their wishful thinking, and pounce on the little devil properly. The two little devils looked at Gao Xinghua, who was covered in blood, and the frightened and urine came out, let go of the rifle, and turned to run. At this time, the grenade exploded, and with a loud bang, the hero's happy Hua and the two little devils were wrapped in smoke and dust.

Gao Xinghua's sacrifice made the position of the third battalion completely undefinable. Everywhere there were shouts, curses, the clash of bayonets and gunfire.

At the moment of crisis, Kao Binzhi led the main force of the regiment to reinforce it, and the brothers shouted and pounced on the little devils who attacked the position. At this time, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and the regiment of Kao Bin, which had the advantage in numbers, was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the little devil could not resist it, and was finally driven out of the position. However, Kao Bin's regiment was not able to expand the results of the battle, and the grenadiers and light machine guns of the devil infantry who crossed the river formed a fire net, dispelling Kao Bin's expectation of taking advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy.

Seeing the failure, Kondo screamed angrily, and silently ordered the artillery and heavy machine guns to open fire, and he wanted to kill and wound the enemy with firepower.

Kao Binzhi was very sober and knew that a hard top would not work, the devil's firepower was too strong, and the troops were sending the devil's gun to the muzzle of the gun to block it here. He immediately ordered his troops to alternately cover the retreat, disengage from contact with the enemy, and look for another fighter.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. As soon as Kao Binzhi gave the order to retreat, devils appeared on the left and right flanks, and it turned out that the third and fourth squadrons of the Yue Army, which were responsible for the roundabout attack, arrived.

The devil's roundabout troops, who had occupied the powerful terrain, began to fire and attack, and machine gun bullets rained down on Kaobin's regiment. Only then did Kao Binzhi understand that he had fallen for the devil, the troops were compressed in a narrow position, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and all of them were covered by the devil's firepower, and it was an end of annihilation.

Seeing that the two wings of the roundabout troops arrived, Kondo knew that an encirclement had been formed, raised his command knife, and led the first squadron on the task of battlefield alert to rush to the river, preparing to wade across the river and launch a final attack.

This kind of battle was fought miserably but not fiercely, and it would not last long. Generally speaking, the firepower and combat effectiveness of Kaobin's regiment are too different from those of the Yue army. It's the same gun, the little devil shoots very accurately, and the soldiers of Kaobin's regiment lack training, their weapons are outdated, and they don't know if they can kill a devil after ten shots. Don't say it's the regiment of Kaobin with the surname of the militia, at this time, a brigade of the army, if it encounters a [***] miscellaneous army, the same strength [***] is not an opponent at all, that is, no matter how strong the [***] strength is, a regiment can't beat a brigade of the army.

Kao Binzhi looked at the Yue army surrounded on all sides, his eyes were full of grief and indignation, he couldn't have imagined that he and his brothers fought together, but they were going to die under the guns of the devils. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the familiar terrain to rush out, but the first and second battalions rushed once and were beaten back, and many brothers died in vain. At this time, there could be no reinforcements, and Commander Li was far away in the mud ditch, so he couldn't get there anyway. Besides, it's better if he doesn't come, if he comes with the troops, I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to leave, but he will once again step into the trap of the army. It seems that Lao Tzu and his brothers are going to die here!

Thinking of this, Kao Binzhi suddenly stood out from his hiding place and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come to fight with the little devils!" If it's a man's, just beat me hard! Killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, and swearing not to die as a slave to the country. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet flew over and hit him. Kao Binzhi staggered and fell to the ground.

When Xu Chuanjing, the commander of the spy company, saw that Kao Bin had been shot, he ran over to take a look, and the bullet passed through Kao Binzhi's abdomen, and the blood had already stained his clothes red.

Xu Chuanjing was heartbroken, hugged Kao Binzhi and cried and shouted: "Commander, you hold on, I will let the brothers carry you to break through!" ”

Kao Binzhi knew that he was seriously injured, so he asked Xu Chuanjing to tear off a piece of cloth from his clothes to wrap the wound, and forcefully explained: "Tiger, order the troops to resolutely counterattack, Lao Tzu will not surrender even if he dies!" ”

When Xu Chuanjing heard this, he was suddenly arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, Lao Tzu and the devil have fought, and we are still brothers on Huangquan Road!" After shouting, he picked up a rifle, aimed at the devil and fired.

Kao Bin's injury is very untimely, at this time, the life and death of the army are on the front line, and a soul figure like him is urgently needed to stabilize the morale of the army. You must know that Kao Binzhi not only has high prestige, but also has martial arts, and the brothers are obedient to him. Kao Binzhi also realized this, struggled to get up, took a grenade, and prepared to use it at the last moment. As a result, many of the wounded struggled to get up, unscrewed the caps of the grenades, and were ready to die with the devils. But some people are so frightened that they can't pull up when they crawl on the ground.

Just when the brothers of Kaobin's regiment thought that they were going to die here, a miracle happened, and the artillery position and heavy machine gun position of the little devils in Xiazhuang of the Zhou family suddenly went out. Immediately after, more infantry artillery began shelling. However, the shells fell in the ranks of the little devils attacking from the front of the position, setting off a bloody rain. Immediately afterwards, the artillery group shifted direction and began to shell the devils on the left and right flanks in turn.

Xu Chuanjing shouted in surprise: "Brothers, the reinforcements are coming, and it is the Eighth Route Army that has come to save us!" ”

After hearing Xu Chuanjing's shout, Kao Binzhi raised his head strongly, and sure enough, a large group of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the other side of the river, and then looked at the positions of the little devils on the left and right flanks, haha, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army hit really accurately, and more than 20 shells fell at the same time at a time, which was covered by standard firepower. Without a telescope, you can clearly see the stumps of the little devil floating in the air.

When Kao Bin saw the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, he knew that he was saved. Because the Eighth Route Army in Shandong is the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, which is a legendary army. Looking at the artillery fire of this army, Kao Binzhi, who had been in the warlord army and had seen the artillery fire of the Japanese army, knew that this must be the main force of the instructor, otherwise there would not be such a powerful firepower.

The next battle completely opened the eyes of Kao Binzhi and the brothers, just now the little devil has been ravaged by the sudden artillery fire, but that is far from enough, just when the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army continued to bombard the positions of the left and right flanks of the army, the heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army began to speak, it turned out that the heavy machine guns of the little devils were enough, but compared with the Eighth Route Army, it was simply a small thing. I saw a long line of heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army mounted at the entrance of Xiazhuang Village of Zhoujia on the opposite bank, pouring bullets on the Yue army that was attacking across the river.

Immediately afterward, the Eighth Route Army began to attack both flanks. Now, Kao Bin has seen what an elite army is. Just looking at the offensive formation of the Eighth Route Army opened his eyes, a group of groups, a team, it seems sparse, but they are all triangles, one person attacking, two people covering, one group attacking, two groups of covering, followed by light machine guns and grenadiers, providing fire support at any time. Moreover, almost all of this Eighth Route Army is automatic weapons, and it can shoot non-stop when running and jumping, and even the action of pushing the bullet to load is saved.

Only then did Kao Binzhi understand that compared with such a force, his brothers were really a veritable militia group.

When the cannon sounded from behind, Kondo Shuzo was already sitting on the ground in shock, he never imagined that at this time, such a strong force would come out from behind, and as soon as he shot, his troops would be knocked unconscious.

After calming down a little, Kondo Shuzo found that the Eighth Route Army that rushed to the scene used all the 92 infantry guns, and there were no mountain artillery and field artillery, indicating that this was not the main artillery of the Eighth Route Army. But there are too many infantry guns in this army, it seems that there are more than 20 guns, gods, how can they have so many infantry guns, and there are only two in one brigade of their own!

Looking at the cannonballs flying all over the sky, Kondo Shuzo knew that his death time had come, and he couldn't figure it out, obviously the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructor went to Wuhan and Jiaodong, and the Eighth Route Army was beaten by the imperial army and couldn't find anyone, why did such a strong Eighth Route Army suddenly appear here?

Without waiting for Kondo Shuzo to think about it again, the heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army began to concentrate on attacking, and this time Kondo Shuzo completely understood that the Eighth Route Army that copied his own back road was the main force of the standard instructor, and only this army would have so many infantry guns and heavy machine guns, and only this unit would use firepower in such a concentrated manner.

Kondo didn't have to think about it anymore, his soldiers were shot everywhere, and even his operator didn't escape, and the bullets shattered the head of the pervert who liked to forcibly annihilate Chinese women. At this time, Kondo Shu's third company had no courage to command the troops to counterattack, and he was like Spiegel in his heart, under such powerful firepower, and without a strong position, any counterattack would be suicide!

Kondo Shuzo muttered repeatedly: "The mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind", "The mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind", and as he spoke, a heavy machine gun bullet passed through his skull, scattering his white brain.

It's time for Kondo Shuzo to die, if he is lucky enough not to die, he will see the current embarrassing scene of his warriors of the imperial army who were still fierce and invincible just now, not to mention the dead, the living little devils once again staged the usual escape tricks of the special division, one by one like thieves, began to run into the ditch fork, for fear that the [***] team would catch up and catch them.

Want to run? There are no doors. If they are allowed to run away, then the first regiment will not be the first regiment, the old battalion will not be the old battalion taught by Liu Yimin, and the equipment of the old battalion with an automatic rifle will be in vain! These battle-hardened soldiers, like hunters, chased after the frightened rabbits, and after the sound of a crisp sound, it was the knock on the door of the little devils returning to the Yasukuni Shrine to report.

The surviving brothers of Kaobin's group also joined the ranks of chasing and suppressing the devils at this time, and beat the water dogs, everyone can!

The gunfire finally subsided, and when Wang Dahu and Wang Xinyun saw Kao Binzhi, the troops had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Although the battle was fought smoothly and the results were great, the casualties of Kaobin's regiment were too great, and there were less than 300 people, including the light and serious wounded. Therefore, after cleaning up the battlefield and rescuing the wounded, Wang Dahu proposed that the captured weapons and ammunition could be picked by the brothers of Kaobin's regiment at will, and the wounded could be treated in the Eighth Route Army, and after the wounded were healed, the Eighth Route Army would be responsible for escorting them back to the army.

Xu Chuanjing, nicknamed Xu Laohu, is a master who does not want to die in battle, when he saw that the Eighth Route Army was so strong in combat, he felt that it was boring to always nest in the southwest mountains, and he wanted the big devil to follow the Eighth Route Army to do a good job. So, he proposed to Kao Binzhi on the spot, and after escorting the regiment commander to the Eighth Route Army Hospital for treatment, he went to be the Eighth Route Army and asked the regiment commander for approval.

As soon as Xu Chuanjing put forward this idea, Kao Binzhi was also a little moved, but thinking that Li Wenli treated him well, if he also wanted to be the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't explain it to Li Wenli. Therefore, he proposed that the brothers who were willing to join the Eighth Route Army could follow Xu Chuanjing, the wounded would follow him to the Eighth Route Army Hospital for treatment, and the others would return with the commander of the second battalion to report the battle to Commander Li.

As a result, only more than 20 people remained who returned to Li Wenli's department with the commander of the second battalion. Of course, most of the people who went with the Eighth Route Army were wounded and needed to go to the Eighth Route Army Field Hospital for treatment.

At this time, Wang Laohu was already sitting in the brigade headquarters of the little devils in Anqiu County.
