Under the sound of machine guns, some "gourd soldiers" were smashed by the dense rain of bullets, and the red bag tied under the steel helmet of the gourd soldiers at the moment of disintegration was also cut by bullets, and a pool of red blood suddenly spread.

Since it was night, the devils could only barely see the [***] people on the surface of the water under the light of searchlights and flares, with heavy casualties and rivers of blood.

At this time, two reinforced infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron in the station also rushed to hear the news, and the devil machine gunners set up light and heavy machine guns on the commanding heights on the riverside, forming a cross-vertical and horizontal fire network and firing a salvo at the water.

For a while, the whole night sky was filled with gunshots, shouts and screams. Some devil soldiers couldn't help but be a little shocked when they saw the "middle [***] people" in the river charging so fiercely and fearlessly.

Because the Chinese soldiers they saw completely disregarded their own life and death, and continued to swim forward with the blood of their robes, and at the same time, the devil commander was also laughing and laughing: "Yo Xi, the pig is really stupid!" Swimming across the river regardless of casualties! Order, shoot them all! ”

Just when the army of 8,000 gourds was forcibly crossing, the 3rd and 2nd divisions also began to cross the river in batches, and the people of the surrounding villages, after learning that [***] wanted to cross the river but there were not enough boats, they dismantled their wooden door panels and turned wooden sticks such as flat poles into simple rafts and came to help.

With the help of the people, the progress of the second and third divisions crossing the river was faster.

After Zhang Mingyu crossed the river with the entire guard regiment, he immediately dispatched the motorized infantry company, which has now become a reconnaissance company, and took the lead in marching towards Huayuankou Town.

Huayuankou Town is only more than two miles away from the Yellow River embankment, originally the devil stationed a team and a puppet army security battalion in Huayuankou Town, but due to the tense war situation, this team was transferred back to Zhengzhou, and now there is only one puppet army security battalion left in Huayuankou.

This security battalion is said to be a battalion, in fact, there is only one company of troops, more than 100 guns, is composed of ruffians and hooligans in this area, [***] After leaving, the devil selected a leader named Liu Er from among these people, Liu Er is a gangster who has nothing to do all day long and steals chickens and dogs, because he is so ruthless and brave, gradually everyone in ten miles and eight towns knows Liu Er's name.

The devil personally appointed Liu Er as the commander of the Huayuankou security battalion, and the members were composed of Liu Er who gathered a group of idle ruffians and hooligans, and all the weapons and equipment and food were provided by Yu himself, so the original idle scoundrel became the commander of the Huayuankou security battalion, and since he became the commander of the security battalion, Liu Er has become even more unscrupulous, bullying the township and squeezing the people. Seeing who has a beautiful girl, without saying a word, the people dare to resist or beat them hard, or bury the wall alive.

In just a few years, Liu Er caused bloody cases in the Huayuankou area, and some villagers resolutely chose to leave their hometowns and move their families in order to avoid Liu Er.

Sun Xiucheng with a reconnaissance company (motorized infantry company) was ordered to take the lead in approaching the reconnaissance, when he personally led three platoons to quietly touch the periphery of Huayuankou Town, found that there was no sentry in the entire Huayuankou Town, because Huayuankou did not have a city wall, and there was open land all around. Outside the town are the fields.

There were only four small brick bunkers around the town, and the faint lights of the turrets were dazzling under the dark night sky.

Sun Xiucheng picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the turret located in the north of the town, and found that there was no one around the turret except for some barbed wire and antlers. Putting aside his doubts, he immediately raised his left hand and waved his hand at the two warriors behind him, the two warriors nodded in understanding, and immediately rushed out with their waists bent.

I saw that the two of them were extremely agile, and after a trot, they hurriedly lay down in a depression, and after observing some of the abnormalities, the two began to get up and move towards the turret in two ways.

However, when the two of them cautiously approached the turret, there was no movement in the turret, one of them immediately sat a gesture at Sun Xiucheng, Sun Xiucheng nodded and understood, and then waved to the two soldiers behind him, the two soldiers nodded secretly, and walked out quickly with guns in both hands.

Three steps and two steps, and soon the two soldiers in charge of reinforcements also arrived in front of the turret, and the two soldiers had gently removed the barbed wire and antlers.

One of the senior soldiers sat down in a series of gestures to the other three, and after everyone nodded, he immediately retreated more than ten steps, while the other three soldiers held their guns in both hands and watched with expressions on guard.

At this time, the senior soldier exerted force under his feet, and soon began to run rapidly, after acceleration, the figure of the senior soldier almost flashed, and the whole person jumped less than one meter away from the turret, with the help of his habitual surname, the whole body suddenly flew up, and his hands quickly grabbed a corner on the second floor of the turret.

Hands and feet quickly climbed to the top floor of the turret, after climbing to the top floor, the senior soldier sat down at the bottom with a safe gesture, and the other three fighters immediately began to act, one of the fighters untied a grenade from his waist, unscrewed the back cover, and pulled the fuse off with a snap! Then the grenade emitting green smoke and sparks was placed in the corner of the wooden door of the turret.

Then he immediately turned around and hid on the edge of the wall of the turret, only to see the firelight flash, and the wooden door on the bottom floor of the turret turned into several ruins and flew up with a loud bang.

The three soldiers immediately turned around at the same time and rushed into the turret with submachine guns in their hands, and there was a fierce strafing inside, and the four sleeping puppet soldiers on the first floor were just surprised by the explosion and before they could see what was going on, they were beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of submachine gun bullets.

At this time, the four puppet soldiers upstairs woke up after the explosion, and hurriedly jumped up from the bed, but before they could get their guns, a black shadow jumped down from the wooden ladder on the roof of the building, and the submachine gun in his hand swept at the feet of the four people, and the senior soldier opened his throat and shouted: "Don't move, whoever fucking moves will kill whom!" ”

A puppet army leader wanted to touch the gun, but the senior soldier pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a fierce rain of bullets suddenly hit the puppet army leader in the chest.

The puppet soldier fell down with his eyes open and his face dry. At this time, the other three soldiers also rushed up, and the three puppet soldiers hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Sir, spare your life, don't kill us!" ”

The senior soldier stepped forward and kicked one of them to the ground and scolded, "Be fucking honest, or that person will be your example!" ”

After finishing speaking, the senior soldier said: "You look at them, I'll report to the company commander!" ”

"The company commander and the turret have been taken, five people have been killed, and three have been captured!" The senior soldier walked downstairs quickly, just as Sun Xiucheng had already walked over with the scout.

"Oh! Bring those three two devils down immediately! Sun Xiucheng said.

"Yes!" The senior soldier snapped upright, and then quickly turned around and walked into the turret, and in less than a minute, the senior soldier and three other soldiers walked out with three puppet soldiers.

Sun Xiucheng directly said to the three people: "I will only give you one chance, live to tell the truth, and die to talk nonsense!" Do you understand? ”

Looking at the group of wolf-like [***] soldiers around them, the three second devils had already broken their courage, and the three of them immediately nodded like garlic and said: "The villains must answer truthfully!" Certain! ”

"Good! Let me ask you, how many devils are there in the town, and how many puppet soldiers are there? After Sun Xiucheng asked, his right hand deliberately touched the pistol on his waist.

Seeing this, the three puppet soldiers hurriedly replied: "There are not too many devils in the town, only more than 100 brothers in our security camp. ”

"No devils?" As soon as Sun Xiucheng's words fell, a soldier in charge of the guard ran over quickly, and said uprightly: "Company commander, a team of puppet troops has come from the town, and the number should be the strength of a company!" ”

Sun Xiucheng turned his gaze to look at the puppet soldiers, and one of them immediately replied tremblingly: "This must be our battalion commander." ”

Sun Xiucheng retracted his gaze and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "A platoon, a machine gun platoon will block on the spot!" The left wing of the second row, the right wing of the third row, detoured to the past, and ate them for me, grandma is a bear, and more than a hundred second devils dare to argue with grandpa! Kill them without saying anything! ”

"Yes! Several platoon commanders immediately said yes, and then quickly turned around and left.

………

In Huayuankou Town, Liu Er, the commander of the security battalion, wore a military hat, a cigarette in his mouth, and a Czech light machine gun in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Grandma is a bear, where is this where the New Fourth Army dares to bully Lao Tzu, brothers, give it to me!" ”

It turned out that this place was often attacked by the guerrillas under the jurisdiction of the New Fourth Army, Liu Er thought that the New Fourth Army guerrillas had come to sneak attack, although the New Fourth Army guerrillas were poorly equipped, and Liu Er never took them seriously, but the New Fourth Army guerrillas seemed to be like a leather ball, and you just drove it away, and he quickly bounced back.

Soon Liu Er took more than 100 people under his command except for the town, but they had just walked out of the town and just approached the turret, when suddenly fierce gunfire rang out from the turret and around the turret, and they saw scarlet tongues of fire rushing towards them.

The firepower network composed of light and heavy machine gun fire suddenly swept down a large area of the puppet army that rushed to the forefront, and Liu Er immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush for me!" Avenge the Dead Brethren! Take the turret back for me! ”

As he spoke, he personally held a light machine gun and swept at the front, but after a while, Liu Er's adjutant Mazi hurriedly ran to Liu Er's side and said, "Battalion commander, something is wrong!" The firepower of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army is not so strong! If you look at this firepower, even the princes are nothing more than that! ”

"Huh?" Liu Er also noticed that something was wrong, and just wanted to order a retreat, when suddenly there were deafening shouts of killing from both sides. In the darkness, dazzling tongues of fire roared.

This unsuspenseful battle ended after only ten minutes, and the reconnaissance company (motorized infantry company) completely annihilated Liu Er's security battalion at a slight cost of three wounded and one sacrificed, killing more than 60 puppet soldiers, including Liu Er, and capturing more than 40 people!

Sun Xiucheng walked to Liu Er's corpse, kicked twice, and scolded: "The Han annihilation of the dog! You're the fucking screaming! You deserve a headshot! It turned out that in the battle just now, Liu Er kept screaming for his subordinates to resist, and the snipers of the reconnaissance company found out and shot him in the head.

"Company commander! What about those captives? A long line of panting strode over.

"All of them are taken in! Report to the group seat and the main seat that we have taken the town of Huayuankou! Sun Xiucheng pondered for a moment and said.

"Yes!" A long row of people snapped upright, and then turned and walked away quickly.

……

Huayuankou Town, in the compound of the former puppet army security battalion headquarters, has become the regimental headquarters of the guard regiment at this time.

In the courtyard, the signal corpsmen were setting up radio stations, and the battalions around the town were urgently building field fortifications, and at this time the sky was already slightly bright, and all the officers and men of the Third Division had all crossed the Yellow River and headed for the mouth of the garden. And the second division is also rushing to cross.

In the regimental headquarters of the guard regiment, Zhang Mingyu, Xu Wen and others were looking at the map with the help of the faint light, Xu Wen pointed to the map and said: "General seat, this map belongs to those two devils, it shouldn't be wrong!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said: "These maps are similar to the maps we captured in Xinxiang, it seems that there should be nothing wrong!" By the way, how did the troops go across the river? ”

"The third division has all been crossed, and only the second division remains." As soon as Xu Wen's words fell, Lai San's deep voice sounded outside the door: "General seat!" Lai Lai, too! Ha ha! ”

Before the voice fell, Lai San, you had already strode in with your head held high, and before Lai San could sit down, Zhang Mingyu said to Lai San: "Come here!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Lai San stopped the butt that was sitting down, and walked over.

Zhang Mingyu pointed to the map and said to Lai Sandao: "See, this is Huiji on the periphery of Zheng County (Zhengzhou), this time the task of your division is to use Huiji as a breakthrough point to launch an attack on the Erqi City of Zheng County, after breaking through the outer defense line of the Huiji Army, your department can quickly divide your troops and attack Zheng County from the east and west lines, and the third division will be responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Yue Army in the direction of Kaifeng and reinforcing your department!" ”

"Understood!" Lai San patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured!" Guaranteed to take Zheng County (Zhengzhou)! ”

"Hmmm! Well, go ahead and get ready now! An hour later, launch an attack on Zheng County! Zhang Mingyu nodded.

"Yes!" Lai San snapped upright, and then turned around and strode away.

………….

On the south bank of the Yellow River, on the ships of the Third Fleet.

Because the sky was already slightly bright, at this time, the devil soldiers on the ship finally found the clue, only to see that the water surface of the Yellow River after a night of fierce fighting had been completely stained red with red blood.

Although the current washed away some of the blood, due to the collapse of the Yellow River Bridge, the current here is not so fast, and some of the gourd soldiers who were broken by the devils are all floating on the edge of the ruins of the broken bridge at this time.

The devil commander finally saw the true face of the squadron that had been fighting with them all night, and it turned out to be just a gourd and a steel helmet. This made the commander of the 11th Sentai of the Third Fleet, Rear Admiral Yatamoto Mataro, angry.

Major General Tanimoto Mataro put down his binoculars with a pale face, and his eyes were cold enough to look at Tanimoto Majiro Osa, who personally boarded the deck last night to command the battle, Majiro was his own brother and a Dazuo-level officer under him.

Tanimoto Mataro said with a blue face: "Tanimoto Majiro, have you seen clearly, this is the battle you commanded!" Big drop stupidity! For the sake of these gourds, so many precious ammunition of the Imperial Army were wasted! You're a big dropper! It's a stupid pig-style drip command! ”

"Hay! Miscommand of the lowly position, willing to accept the punishment! Majiro Tanimoto bowed his head abruptly and said.

"Yaga Tooth Road! Idiot! You should go to the staff headquarters and rest for a while! Tanimoto Mataro couldn't help but growl. If Majiro Tanimoto wasn't his own brother, he really wanted to shoot him, which really smeared the face of the Great Navy.

…………

On the other side, Wang Tiehan, the commander of the Fourth Division, who had slept comfortably all night, took a few guards to a grassy slope not far from the Yellow River, and saw some devil soldiers salvaging those gourd soldiers from a distance with a telescope, Wang Tiehan couldn't help laughing and said: "Damn, this time the little devil commander's nose is crooked, it is estimated that the bullets will have to hit millions of rounds in one night, right?" Ha ha! ”

In fact, how did Wang Tiehan know that all the warships of the 11th Combat Squadron of the Navy had made great efforts to intercept the "middle [***]" crossing the river last night, and as a result, hundreds of tons of shells were wasted on the navy's ship-borne large-caliber artillery alone.

The waste of bullets is even more, no less than 10 million rounds, which is still a conservative estimate, and it may be a deliberate battle loss caused by the military statistician.

Just when the devil soldiers of the 11th Fleet exploded their lungs and kept cursing the [***] cunning drop on the opposite side, the city of Zhengxian (Zhengzhou) exploded.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lai San personally commanded the First Brigade to launch an attack on Huiji, a periphery of Zheng County.

The people in Zheng County heard the gunshots, and watched the devil soldiers in the city rushing around, and the people had already guessed that it was [***] who came back.

As a result, the people and neighbors of the entire Zheng County told each other, and for a while, the anti-Japanese mood in the whole city gradually increased, and some lone devil soldiers were inexplicably killed without paying attention.

Of course, the busiest is the headquarters of the Sixth Division of the Yue Army stationed in Zheng County.

Suzuki, the acting commander of the Sixth Division, was anxiously pacing with his hands behind his back, and he had already scolded the Navy in his heart for letting the 42nd Army smuggle across the Yellow River.

At this time, a Shaozuo communications staff officer strode in and suddenly retracted his feet and said, "General! The 1st Infantry Brigade of the 24th Infantry Wing reported that the Chinese were attacking quickly and with strong combat effectiveness, and the 1st Brigade was forced to retreat after half an hour of fighting with them, suffering more than 300 casualties! ”

"Yaga Tooth Road! Half an hour? More than 300 people? If you continue to fight, the entire Zheng County will be lost in less than a day, and the 24th Infantry Wing will be ordered to resist me, and you are not allowed to retreat a step before dark! Generate electricity for this bastard Akira Muto again! Let's just say that the people of China smuggled across the Yellow River. Zheng County is in danger, let him come back immediately! ”

"Hay!" Staff Officer Shao Zuo bowed his head suddenly, and then quickly turned around and left.
