However, at this moment, a deafening roar of engines suddenly came from the sky.

Both sides of the fierce battle involuntarily looked up at the sky.

The advance team members, including Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua, were excited, and some soldiers cheered unpassionately: "The Air Force is our Air Force fighter. ”

And the disaster of the puppet army as the attacker came, and before they could come to their senses, one after another fighters came out of the clouds and swooped towards them.

Immediately afterward, a dense stream of metal bullets rained down.

The charging puppet cavalry was shot one after another, falling in a pool of blood.

Zhang Haipeng, who was in charge of directing the troops to attack in the distance, stood on the spot with a stunned face when he saw this.

It wasn't until a bomber began to dive and bomb that the sound of a violent explosion pulled him back to reality.

Seeing his subordinates fleeing and running wildly like birds and beasts, Zhang Haipeng began to roar angrily: "Quick, pass my order, retreat immediately, retreat, stop attacking!" ”

Lian Yue's forced march, coupled with the onslaught for most of the day, failed to succeed, and Zhang Haipeng's puppet army was already exhausted and difficult to continue.

When it was hit by a sudden air strike, the puppet army, which was already at the critical point of collapse, suddenly collapsed.

Due to the lack of troops, Liu Zhenhu did not order the pursuit, he knew very well that if he wanted to hold out his limited forces until the reinforcements arrived, he must rely on the superiority of firepower and the support of the air force to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

If the house fortifications are left, if the air force retreats, the rebels, who are all cavalry, can easily turn defeat into victory and cut the little man in his hands into meat sauce.

When night fell, the air force fighters of the garrison brigade had to return to stop bombing and strafing.

The puppet army, which suffered heavy losses and was exhausted, did not attack again.

The town of Tongliao was given a brief period of silence.

Under the dark night sky, Tongliao Town, which has almost become a ruin, looks a little lonely.

Behind a private house in the town, company commander Liu Zhenhu was leaning against the wall and panting violently, his hands trembled a little and he smoked a cigarette, took out a match and lit it.

After taking two puffs, feeling the violent stimulation caused by the smoke churning violently in his lungs, Liu Zhenhu closed his eyes comfortably.

Suddenly, there was a slight abnormal sound not far away, Liu Zhenhu suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed an MP18 submachine gun and shouted: "Who?" ”

"Company commander, it's me." Zhang Xinghua's voice was a little hoarse.

Liu Zhenhu put down the gun and continued to smoke.

"Company commander, let's eat something." Zhang Xinghua was holding a green onion and two nests in his hand.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Liu Zhenhu continued to smoke, without meaning to take the nest head and green onions.

Zhang Xinghua didn't persuade much, and walked over to sit side by side with Liu Zhenhu, leaning against the wall and looking up at the night sky.

Zhang Xinghua suddenly spoke: "Company commander, give me a cigarette." ”

Liu Zhenhu looked at him in surprise, took out a cigarette case and handed it to him.

Zhang Xinghua took out one of them, borrowed half of Liu Zhenhu's cigarette as a fire, took a decent puff, and suddenly couldn't help coughing.

"If you don't smoke, don't smoke, it's not good for your health if you smoke too much." Liu Zhenhu said in an indifferent tone.

Zhang Xinghua didn't answer him, but suddenly turned his head to look at him and asked seriously: "Company commander, do you think we can survive this time?" ”

Liu Zhenhu did not hesitate at all, and immediately said with a firm gaze: "Yes, as long as you believe that there is, we will definitely be able to survive this sadness and persist until the reinforcements arrive." ”

Looking at Liu Zhenhu's determined gaze, Zhang Xinghua nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, a piercing gunshot broke the silence of the night, and also woke up many members of the advance team who were hiding in the fortifications and sleeping.

Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua were very familiar with this gunshot, because they clearly heard that it was the gunfire of the Garand rifle.

At this time, the gun suddenly rang out, and the only possibility was an enemy attack.

Liu Zhenhu reflexively grabbed the MP18 submachine gun he threw aside again, and shouted: "What's the matter? ”

At this time, gunshots were already beginning to sound in front of him.

The guard post who fired the gun pulled the trigger several times in a row, and after knocking down the two puppet soldiers, he lowered his head and shouted at the back: "The enemy is attacking at night!" Night Raid! ”

"Shoot flares and get ready for battle!" Liu Zhenhu pulled the bolt of the submachine gun and shouted angrily.

Three flares were launched into the air one after another, and the front of the advance team's position was immediately illuminated as if it were daylight.

By the light of the flares, Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua clearly saw the puppet army that came to sneak attack, and there were hundreds of people in the black.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen MG34 general-purpose machine guns took the lead in firing, and a drag bullet was very dazzling, like a meteor, guiding a dense rain of machine gun bullets towards the heads of the puppet army crowd.

Under the illumination of the flares, the puppet cavalry lurking forward was obviously a little helpless, helpless, and was knocked down by the fire of the general-purpose machine gun that suddenly opened fire.

It wasn't until they lost dozens of people that the remaining puppet cavalry woke up from a dream and lay down to hide.

"Commander Zhang has an order, kill a reward of three pieces of the ocean, take Tongliao and reward the ocean of three thousand, brothers rush!" A puppet battalion commander brandished his saber and howled like a pig.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, this sentence is absolutely applicable to any era and any battlefield.

I saw hundreds of puppet soldiers standing up again one after another, braving the dense rain of bullets and bullets to charge forward without fear of death.

Some people even lie on the ground and crawl forward.

"Brothers, give me a hard beating, as long as we hold out until dawn, reinforcements will arrive, our air force will be able to provide air support, and then this group of rebels will be fucking dead, fight!" Liu Zhenhu swept the submachine gun and roared angrily.

Zhang Xinghua hid on the other side of the wall with a Garand rifle and opened fire, echoing Liu Zhenhu from afar.

At this time, his marksmanship has improved greatly, and he can basically hit a target every two or three shots.

"Mortars, kill those heavy machine guns for Lao Tzu." Liu Zhenhu found several heavy machine guns of the puppet army in the gap between the magazines, and they were forming crossfire in an attempt to suppress and counterattack the defenders, and immediately turned his head and shouted.

Soon, all three 60 mortars turned their muzzles and aimed at several heavy machine guns of the puppet army.

......With a few muffled sounds, three 60mm grenades were discharged one after another, roaring towards the puppet army's heavy machine gun position.

"Boom, boom, boom......!" The deafening loud noises rang out one after another, the flames flashed, and the three shells hit one shot, directly blowing up a heavy machine gun, and the three puppet army machine gunners and ammunition men were also blown up in a blur of flesh and blood, and died on the spot.

With the first round of test firing, the artillerymen's second round of shelling was much more accurate, and all three shots were hit, and the red light bloomed into the air like fireworks, dazzling.

Without the cover of heavy machine-gun fire, the charge of the puppet infantry appeared to be impactless.

Under the terrifying rapid fire network of more than a dozen MG34 general-purpose machine guns, the charging puppet army fell like stubble after stubble like wheat cut.

The few surviving puppet soldiers who escaped the net were also killed by crossfire from Garand rifles and submachine guns.

The fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the more than 500 puppet soldiers who came to the sneak attack were killed and wounded four-fifths, and finally had to evacuate in a hurry due to heavy casualties, and the night attack ended in complete failure.

Outside Tongliao Town, inside the temporary headquarters of the puppet army.

Zhang Haipeng, who was anxiously waiting, heard the gunfire in the town gradually stopped, and asked the adjutant puzzled: "What's the matter?" Why did the gunfire stop? ”

Without an answer from the adjutant, a captain ran into the tent of the headquarters covered in blood.

Seeing Zhang Haipeng, the captain and officer howled and cried: "Commander, the night attack failed, and we lost more than 400 brothers. ”

"What?" Zhang Haipeng didn't expect that he was unexpectedly determined to get a blow, but he still ended in failure.

looked at the captain officer covered in blood, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Idiot, a group of rice buckets, how to fight, they will only die one or two hundred people, and it doesn't matter if they can't take it if they have planes to help fight during the day, and at night the sneak attack even returned to the fucking feathers, all the fucking rice buckets!" ”

"Commander, it's not that the brothers are incompetent, it's really that the defenders' firepower is too fierce, almost all of them are equipped with automatic firepower, as well as artillery, the brothers braved the death to charge, but they couldn't rush at all, even our battalion commander was beaten into a sieve by machine gun bullets." The captain officer immediately shouted.

"Alright, you go down first, I see." Zhang Haipeng waved his hand impatiently, and immediately said to the adjutant: "Send additional manpower to keep an eye on Tongliao Town and the direction of Shenyang, in case reinforcements are sent from the direction of Shenyang."

Lao Tzu will sleep first, his mother is old in the end, after riding a horse for a few days, I feel that my bones are about to fall apart, after all, I don't have to be back then. ”

"Yes." The adjutant bowed his head in response, turned around and walked out.

…………………… Shenyang, Sujiatun.

The first regiment and artillery battalion have been stationed in Sujiatun and have completed all combat preparations.

In order to prepare for the next battle, Zhang Xinghan prepared hundreds of tons of poison gas bombs and thousands of tons of incendiary bombs for the artillery.

All the officers and men of the 1st Regiment and the artillery battalion have been issued with gas masks, and everything is ready, just waiting for the army to attack.

In the front-line trenches of Sujiatun, Niu Erzhu, who had been promoted to captain and company commander of the third battalion and one company of the first regiment, did not sleep at the moment, but was patrolling the trenches with guards in full armor.

In the trenches, there were soldiers lying on the ground and falling asleep, Niu Erzhu did not wake them up, and everywhere he went, he only asked the guards who stayed behind to provide vigilance.

When he inspected the company and was about to return to the company headquarters, suddenly a guard sentry not far away shouted: "Who?" ”

The sentry was answered by a gunshot, a gunfire peculiar to the Type 79 rifle.

The sentry ducked in the trench with his head bowed, and immediately shouted at the top of his throat to warn: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the officers and soldiers of the entire regiment of Sujiatun were awakened, and the officers and soldiers of the company who were immersed in the scene reflexively picked up their guns and stood up.

Niu Erzhu immediately said loudly: "Don't panic, the artillery will fire flares immediately, and the rest of the people will be ready for battle." ”
