"Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army?" Zhang Mingyu asked.

"Yes! That's what they say! The warrior replied.

"Where are they now? Take me to see it! Zhang Mingyu signaled.

"Our platoon commander has now taken them to the east of the city!" With that, the warrior turned and took the lead.

Zhang Mingyu, Lai San and others, led by the soldier, soon came to the east of the city, only to see about 100 soldiers of the Reading Army holding guns in a circle, and about a dozen people wearing gray military uniforms squatting in the circle.

Zhang Mingyu stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" What's the matter with coming here? ”

Seeing that Zhang Mingyu was dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, one of the leaders stood up and said, "Hello sir!" We are the guerrilla detachment of the Tongpu Railway of the Eighth Route Army, and I am Li Dawen, the squad leader of the first squad, who came to report to the Reading Force on the order of our detachment leader, but was unexpectedly arrested by your soldiers as Han Annihilation! With that, he looked around at the Readpower soldiers.

Zhang Mingyu frowned and said to the platoon leader, "Give them back their weapons!" ”

Soon, several of the Readpower soldiers returned their guns to Li Dawen and them. Zhang Mingyu asked, "Squad Leader Li, may I ask your detachment leader what letter do you want to report to me?" ”

Li Dawen put his pistol back into the holster, and then saluted Zhang Mingyu and said: "We reconnoitred: "The army has about two divisions and regiments, carrying heavy artillery, tanks and other heavy weapons along the railway line to attack you, our detachment commander asked me to tell you to prepare early!" ”

Zhang Mingyu's face didn't change much after hearing this, and Lai San beside him said with a look of surprise: "What, two divisions again?" The little devil who the dog said was so cunning! There is still a certain reason for Lai San's shock, because all the three infantry divisions of the Reading Army have been transferred to Ningwu and other places to meet the Yue army, and the cavalry regiment is far away in Shanxi. Although Lai San's third division is here, the entire third division has to defend the counties around Datong and the surrounding areas of Suiyuan, and now what remains in Huairen is the two battalions of the third division and one regiment, plus Zhang Mingyu's guard battalion, which is only seven or eight thousand people, and it also has to protect nearly 100,000 Datong refugees, more than 100,000 people are mixed, who knows that there is no devil and Han Jian's annihilation in it.

Therefore, in this operation, there are less than 5,000 people under Zhang Mingyu's command at most, and 5,000 people are used against the two main divisions of the Yue Army, and there are also heavy artillery, tanks and other heavy weapons, the difficulty can be imagined!

Zhang Mingyu seemed to be confident and said: "Lao Tzu is waiting for these dogs, finally here, squad leader Li, you and the brothers will rest here with me first, and then the cooking class will stew pork to wash the dust for you!" ”

Originally, Li Dawen wanted to leave after reporting the letter and completing the task, but when he heard the stewed pork, his mouth couldn't help but increase his saliva and his appetite increased greatly. It turned out that they were only in a hurry, and they hadn't eaten yet, and seeing Zhang Mingyu's expression, he was more sincere, and he didn't have a little boss's shelf! Li Dawen nodded and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

?????????????????????

In a dense wooded area of Mount Houma.

Liu Dehua had been running for almost a day with more than 300 soldiers, and finally completely got rid of the pursuit of the devil's plane. It turned out that the devil cavalry found Liu Dehua and called for a plane to chase after they entered the mountain.

Liu Dehua gasped, found a tree to lean on, and then asked breathlessly: "A long line, has the devil plane left?" ”

The platoon leader looked up at the sky and replied breathlessly, "Let's go!" I don't see it. ”

"Fuck! The little devil is really bad-hearted, and he chased after him with a plane, and he tired Lao Tzu to death! Liu Dehua complained and scolded.

"Captain, what are we going to do next? Go there? Zhu Dashan, the leader of the first row, asked.

"What to do? Presumably Li Dawen and they should bring the information to the Reading Army, we have to add some blockage to the little devils next, we can't let them march so smoothly! Liu Dehua took out a cigarette from his pocket and said while lighting it.

???????????????

Outside Yang Village.

Since yesterday, the army has launched no less than 10 fierce attacks on the positions of the three companies, and the fierce battles between the two sides have been extremely fierce, and the front of the positions is already full of corpses and rivers of blood!

The soldiers of the Third Company fought bloodily for every inch of land, and by this afternoon they had suffered more than half of the casualties, of which as many as one-third were killed. Two of the six chief and deputy platoon commanders of the whole company were killed, and the eighteen chief and deputy squad leaders suffered heavy losses!

The guard squad arranged in the first guard position 800 meters away has been killed two-thirds, and the squad leader Wang Baolong and the squad deputy Zhao Daguang have also died heroically! Due to the superiority of the army's troops, the group charge was the first to come up, and the guard squad with heavy losses could no longer play any role.

Liu Changsheng ordered the guard squad to retreat to the first trench with the corpses of his comrades, but just now an attack by the devils showed that without the vigilance of the forward warning position, the devils' offensive was even more fierce, and the casualties of the third company were extremely heavy.

In view of this, Liu Changsheng decided to send a reinforcement squad to the new guard position that had been occupied by devils, and after discussing with several platoon commanders, Liu Changsheng decided to let the first platoon and the second squad go, and Xu Wen and Brother Wang were in this squad.

In the two-day battle, the original more than 100 people in the second squad were less than 60 people at this time, and Xu Wen experienced two days of fierce battles and initially completed the transformation from rookie to veteran.

Seeing the brothers who were still stirring horses and spoons in a pot just now, and the comrades-in-arms who encouraged each other in the trenches fell one by one under the enemy's guns, but all those with blood surnames would also pick up guns and fight desperately with those dogs!

When the second squad received the order, the second squad leader immediately gathered the troops, and soon all the more than fifty soldiers were assembled, including Xu Wen and Brother Wang!

The second squad leader said loudly at the top of his voice: "The company commander ordered, our squad will recapture the guard position within half an hour and eliminate the devils inside!" Is there confidence? ”

"Yes!" More than 50 fighters responded in unison.

At this time, Liu Changsheng came with several fighters. He said loudly: "Brothers, you are all good, my third company has fought dozens of battles large and small since the founding of the army, and no evil battles have been fought in any evil battles!" These are fifteen submachine guns, I hope to be able to wish you a hand, remember to come back alive, Lao Tzu invites you to drink! ”

Although Liu Changsheng knew that these people were definitely dead, he still hoped that they would come back alive.

Fifteen veterans, including Brother Wang, stepped forward to take the fifteen submachine guns, and then stood up with the same footsteps: "Life is a three-company person, and death is also a three-company ghost!" ”

"Let's go!" The second class leader waved his hand and said loudly. Then he took a light machine gun from the machine gunner and took the lead in the front of the team, and the light machine gun in his hand kept spitting tongues of fire!

More than 50 soldiers followed closely and rushed forward along the guard position like a desperate flood, fifteen submachine guns and three light machine guns hit the head, and the dense rain of bullets formed a tongue of fire and swords rushed towards the devils on the guard position.

Since the communication ditch connecting the forward guard position to the main position had been blown up when the guard squad retreated, the soldiers of the second squad all jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the army.

The army left behind in the guard position was a squad, and after the squad leader found the second squad, he brandished a command knife [***] and said: "Shoot!" Kill Quack! After saying that, he kept showing his head, as if something had entered a woman's body, showing his head for a while, and going in for a while! Because the guard position was dug deeper, it was just a cut higher than the height of the devil, although the devil had already used ammunition boxes and other objects to pad the soles of his feet, but the height of the squad leader was still a little insufficient, so that he had to jump up from time to time to observe the situation.

The captain of the tired squad was angry and scolded: "The person is cunning, and his conscience is greatly broken!" ”

Due to the depth of the trench affecting the shooting of the devils, coupled with the powerful assault fire of the second squad, soon more than fifty soldiers rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from the trenches, and this time the leader of the devil squad couldn't sit still, he [***] said: "Warriors attack!" Sortie! ”

The remaining fifty or so devils rushed out of the trench with all their strength, and soon strangled with the soldiers of the Reading Army, but the leader of the devil squad did not climb up because of his height.

It wasn't until more than fifty devils were all eliminated that the devil squad leader slowly climbed up, and saw that all his team members had fallen in a pool of blood, and the devil squad leader was furious, waving a command knife with both hands and rushing towards the soldiers of the second squad.

"Dadada??????" A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the devil squad leader's chest had been punched into countless holes by powerful bullets. He fell to the ground with a reluctant face.

The second squad leader picked up the squad leader's command knife and said aloud to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, enter the position!" ”

"Yes!" Fifty soldiers responded with a bang, and immediately all the soldiers entered the position.

In this battle, more than 60 people from the devil's squad were killed, and five people were killed and six were wounded in the second squad.

The second squad had just entered the position, and the artillery fire of the devil's revenge had begun again, since the first division had not yet arrived, Ling Tianbao could only temporarily hide his artillery regiment, so as not to be hit by the devil's destruction surname! The artillery of one of his divisions is not enough to fight with the two reinforced divisions of the little devils!

Although the large-caliber artillery could not play a role, the "mobile" artillery of each company and platoon still made the attacking little devils suffer enough, they could not catch those Chinese artillery at all and destroy them, but many of their own artillery died under the guns of Chinese snipers.

Due to weather problems, the planes of the Yue Army and the Reading Army stopped taking off, and without the Air Force, both sides could only rely on infantry to win the battle!

?????????????

In the trenches of the second squad.

Xu Wen took the half-smoked cigarette from Brother Wang's mouth, and then put it in his mouth. As soon as I took two puffs, I choked on the spicy cigarette and coughed repeatedly.

Brother Wang looked at him with a smile, and then said in a low voice: "This is a little devil's cigarette, it's not easy to smoke, it's strong." Hurry up and see our military seat looking for him to ask for two American cigarettes to smoke! That smoke is strong! ”

"Brother Wang, have you ever smoked an American cigarette?" Xu Wen asked as he continued to smoke the cigarette that made him cough.

"Hmm!" Brother Wang nodded with a smile and said, "When we fought Ordos, the military seat came to inspect the troops, and our squad leader and I drew it!" American cigarette goodies! You weren't in the army at the time. ”

"Hey, hey!" Xu Wenhan said with a smile: "I secretly ran out of school at the end of the 28th year of the Republic of China and joined the army in Ordos!" ”

"You kid didn't study well and came to join the army, and you're not afraid of death?" Brother Wang asked.

"Among our classmates in Beiping, they are all proud to join the Reading Army, but most of them can't get out due to the blockade of the devils! As for whether you are afraid of death, no one is afraid of death, but seeing that I wantonly slaughtered our blind date fathers and elders and bullied our sisters and compatriots, and as a man, I can only swallow my anger, this kind of talk has long been enough! That's why I'm going to join the army, and I'm going to follow the military seat to fight devils! Even if you die, you can kill a few more devils and avenge the dead fathers and villagers! Xu Wen replied.

"Hmm!" Brother Wang nodded and said: "Yes, you have this heart at a young age, and you are a learned person, work hard, and you will definitely have a future in the future!" ”

"Brother Wang, then why did you join the army?" Xu Wen asked.

"Me? Hehe. Brother Wang smiled slightly: "I was originally a child in the mountains, my father died when I was a child, I and my mother depend on each other, and it is not easy for my mother to pull me hard." Originally, I wanted to serve my mother well and enter into a filial piety of my son. But I called! They slaughtered all the people under the mountain, and burned all the houses.

Although I wanted to go down the mountain to join the army to kill the enemy and serve the country, I couldn't rest assured that my mother would not be able to leave me, so I took my mother to move closer to the mountains and made a living by hunting every day. Suddenly, one day, a few little devils jumped into the mountains, and I hurried home to carry my mother and prepare to escape. Several devils were in hot pursuit, and in the process of escaping, my mother was shot by the little devil who said the dog. Speaking of this, Brother Wang's expression suddenly became extremely angry.

"And then?" Xu Wen asked.

"Later, although I took my mother to shake off the pursuit of the soldiers, my mother was unconscious because of excessive bleeding! In the end, my mother said to me on the occasion of her death: Son, although my mother is illiterate, but she also knows where the righteousness lies, and now that the national disaster is at hand, my son should go to join the army to kill the enemy and serve the country. The country, the country has a country, and only when there is a country can there be a home. My mother knows that you are filial and wants to honor me well, I know all this.

Mother is very happy that she can teach a son who can have such filial piety, Mother is going to find your ruthless father, he must be very lonely over there alone, I want to accompany him. So don't be sad for my mother, a good man is determined in all directions, my son must be a man who stands up to the sky, and must not do anything that insults his ancestors, otherwise it will be difficult for me and your father to look down under Jiuquan????????" After finishing speaking, Brother Wang was already in tears.

"And then you're going to join the Reading Army?" Xu Wen asked.

"Hmm," Brother Wang nodded slightly.

"I'm really proud of my aunt, because you haven't lived up to her good intentions, and you are now a man who stands up to the sky!" Xu Wen said with a heavy face: "It is thousands of mothers like the eldest mother who have raised countless good Chinese men, who sent their sons to join the army, but some of them only exchanged for a comfort letter or a few relics. ”

"Hey! Don't talk about this, I just want to get rid of myself as soon as possible and then go back to my hometown, set up a monument to my mother, and live an ordinary life from now on! Brother Wang seemed to be looking forward to the future, and said with a yearning face.

"Hmm!" Xu Wen nodded and said, "When I finish fighting the devil, I will also go home and honor my father and mother!" ”

"Boy, tell me about your family's situation, how did you sneak up to join the army?" Brother Wang asked. As they spoke, several sappers had already cleared the forward guard trenches and the communication ditches of the main position of the three companies.

Xu Wengang wanted to answer, but the deep voice of the second squad leader sounded, "Brothers, prepare to fight!" The little devil is up! ”

Brother Wang and Xu Wen hurriedly turned over with guns and lay on the edge of the trench, showing their heads and seeing that there were dense devil soldiers everywhere, and there were tanks and armored vehicles among them, and there must be at least one wing of strength to see the posture. A large group of devil soldiers swept towards them all over the mountains.

The second squad leader shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, you are not allowed to shoot without my order, and after blocking the army for ten minutes and forcing them to launch an attack formation, we will withdraw to the main position!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd shouted yes.

The second squad leader does not plan to rely on his dozens of people to resist the devils in a wing, and the task of the alert position is to force the enemy to launch a charge formation in advance, so that the soldiers in the main position can more effectively fight the devils.

Soon the devils had already rushed to a place less than a kilometer away from the second squad, and the heavy machine guns on the main position behind 800 meters had begun to fire one after another, but the devils adopted an attack formation, and most of the troops hid behind tanks and armored vehicles to follow up, and the heavy machine guns did not cause too many casualties to the devils.

Soon the devil rushed to a place less than five hundred meters away from the second squad, and at this time, dense bullets whistled over the heads of the soldiers of the second squad, and the second squad leader said in a low voice: "Don't shoot, wait for my order!" ”

This is the devil mortar and grenadier began to suppress the heavy machine guns of the third company, and then the "mobile artillery" of the third company began to return fire, and the two sides launched an unconventional artillery battle.

At this time, the devil infantry had rushed to within two hundred meters of the second squad trench, the second squad leader picked up a rifle, pulled the bolt and aimed at a devil soldier with a plaster flag on the bayonet, as he pulled the trigger, after a crisp sound, the devil soldier Cao splashed a ball of blood on his head, and then fell to the ground with a crooked head.

After the shot, the second class leader shouted, "Brothers, give me a hard beating!" ”

"Da Da Da!" Submachine guns and machine guns fired fiercely! The devil soldiers, who were advancing rapidly, suddenly fell in pieces like mustard.

Xu Wen braved the rain of bullets shuttling back and forth, pulling the bolt of the gun to aim at a ghost soldier who was squatting on the ground to shoot, then took a deep breath and pulled the trigger, "Smack!" "The devil soldier fell in response!

Seeing more and more devil soldiers rushing up, the second squad leader took out a grenade and said, "Brothers! Bombing! ”

"Brush" dozens of smoke-emitting grenades and smashed them down into the crowd of devils. Immediately, the devil was killed and injured.

The second squad leader shouted as he opened fire: "Brothers, withdraw! ”

The remaining thirty or so fighters retreated into the traffic ditch in turn, and more than a dozen devil soldiers chased after them, and they were all swept to the ground by the broken machine gunners.

The machine gunner just wanted to retreat, a vicious bullet hit him in the back, he couldn't stand for a while, he lay on the ground, Xu Wen wanted to turn around to save him, he yelled: "Leave me alone!" After saying that, he pulled the grenade on his waist. Suddenly pounced on the devil chasing after him.

"Boom!" A bang! He and more than a dozen devil soldiers perished!
