Just when Liu Xiang was struggling with death, the Wuhu counteroffensive also reached the most critical moment.

After the start of the Wuhu counteroffensive, the 78th Brigade was ordered to attack Shiqi Town, but was stubbornly resisted by more than 1,000 Japanese troops, who relied on a dense firepower network composed of a mountain gun and dozens of machine guns to suppress the 78th Brigade's advance path.

At this time, the 3rd Battalion of the 151st Regiment of the 76th Brigade, which had just conquered the three towns in succession, was ordered to reinforce.

"Xiucai, Xiucai!" Lao Hei hurriedly greeted him, and when he arrived in front of him, he realized that the call was inappropriate: "Report to the battalion commander, the battle in Shiqi Town is very fierce, the 78th Brigade has launched several attacks in a row, and even the brigade commander Wang Kejun has gone to the front line to personally supervise the battle." However, the little devil hit a murderer, and the 78th Brigade was beaten down several times! ”

Goofy frowned: "Did you find the ambush location?" ”

"Found it." Lao Hei asked someone to bring a map: "Here, three miles south of Shiqi Town, there is a Xujia Village, there is not a single Oriental here, and it is just behind the Oriental people." I have already ordered the 2nd platoon to take control of Xujia Village first. ”

"Go to Xujia Village!" Gao Fei didn't hesitate: "Ambush there, and when the battle is at its fiercest, give me a hard fight from behind!" ”

Yu Wenzheng said on the side: "Sir, do you want to inform Brigade Commander Wang?" ”

Gao Fei thought for a moment and shook his head: "If you don't notice, the reinforcements will not arrive, and the division headquarters will stipulate that the attack time is approaching, which will inevitably arouse the determination of the whole brigade to die, besides, we only came to one battalion, and let the brothers of the 78th Brigade know that we must think that our troops are weak and will not play a role, but it is easy to shake the morale of the army." ”

Lao Hei stuck out his tongue on the side, this talent is also bold, he was ordered to reinforce, and he didn't say a word to the supreme governor of the district. If this battle is won, it will be forgotten, but if it is lost

Shiqi Town, 78th Brigade Headquarters.

"Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" Wang Kejun looked a little irritable.

After the attack began, the officers and men of the whole brigade charged seven times in succession, and the officers and men of the upper and lower brigades could not be said to be unproductive, but the firepower of the Japanese was too fierce, and the successive charges were all knocked down.

"Nope!" The chief of staff shook his head: "The division headquarters said that the 76th Brigade had been strictly ordered to be reinforced immediately, and it is said that the vanguard set off last night, but then the news was lost. ”

"Fuck it!" Wang Kejun scolded fiercely: "There are no reinforcements, Shiqi Town must also be taken down by Lao Tzu!" Throw me all the reserves into it! The brigade headquarters moves forward again! ”

"Traveler!" The chief of staff was taken aback: "The brigade headquarters is already close to the first line, and the shells of the Orientals will fall in front of us at any time"

"Where did you get so much balltalk!" Wang Kejun's eyes widened suddenly: "When Lao Tzu was in the big field, the bayonets of the Oriental people were shaking in front of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu didn't even have a soldier by his side!" Now there are soldiers and generals, but they are afraid? Move forward, all say fucking move forward! ”

January 17th.

The 78th charge of the 11th Brigade was beaten down again, and the regiment commander Mao Dingyuan's eyes were red, and he kept yelling there.

In fact, Mao Dingyuan knew very well that the brothers in the whole regiment had done their best, and when they charged, no one was afraid of death and retreated, and the big guy rushed forward with a roar.

However, there was a mistake in the pre-war intelligence.

The intelligence clearly said that there were only more than 300 devils in Shiqi Town, and the firepower was not strong, who would have thought that after the attack began, the 78th Brigade that originally thought of taking Shiqi Town in one go suffered a big loss.

Where are there only 300 pairs of devils on the other side? There are clearly more than 1,000 people, and the firepower is extremely powerful.

Mao Dingyuan, who suffered a big loss, scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors who did intelligence in his heart, but what is the use of scolding? Shiqi Town is the focus, and it must be won before the end of the 18th!

"What about the brigade headquarters? Hasn't the brigade call been answered yet? ”

"Report to the group, no!"

"Fuck it!" Mao Dingyuan roared loudly: "Death squad, death squad!" Organize the death squad for Lao Tzu, rush, brothers, organize the death squad, and follow Lao Tzu to rush! ”

"Mao Dingyuan!"

Suddenly, a stern cry came from behind him.

"Who the fuck called Lao Tzu's name!" Mao Dingyuan turned around in annoyance, but he found that it was the brigade commander, and hurriedly stood up: "Brigade seat, why are you here?" ”

"Lao Tzu is here to be the captain of the Overseer team!" Wang Kejun's expression was serious, and his tone was stern: "11 charges in a row, Shiqi Town didn't take it down. Shizuo is about to shoot Lao Tzu! Mao Dingyuan, let me tell you, if you can't take Shiqi Town before the end of the 18th, Lao Tzu will shoot you first, and then kill yourself! ”

"Yes! I can't take Shiqi Town before the end of the 18th, and if I don't work to do it, I will kill myself first! Mao Dingyuan is another upright: "I'm organizing a death squad!" ”

"Wait!" Wang Kejun calmed down his emotions, picked up the binoculars and looked carefully at the opposite military position, and said after a while:

"Now that the opposing army is well guarded, organizing a death squad charge at this time will only increase casualties. Order the whole regiment to stop the attack for the time being! ”

Mao Dingyuan was stunned: "Stop attacking for the time being?" ”

Wang Kejun nodded: "Rest, give me enough energy." 18 At dawn, the death squad is in front, once the death squad opens the gap, there is no one left all day, and I will rush up! ”

"Yes!" Mao Dingyuan responded loudly, and then asked tentatively: "Brigade seat, haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" ”

"Mao Dingyuan, are you fucking promising!" Wang Kejun's voice suddenly raised: "The 76th Brigade is also fighting with the Orientals, so the fuck we want reinforcements?" There are reinforcements to fight, and if there are no reinforcements, I have to take down Shiqi Town for me! ”

"Yes!"

Xujia Village, 17 at 22 o'clock in the evening.

The entire 3rd battalion has been quietly pulled to Xujia Village, and more than 400 brothers are quietly ambushed in the village, making no noise as much as possible.

The people in the village were a little scared when they first saw so many soldiers coming in, but when they saw clearly that it was their own troops, their hearts hanging in the air were relaxed.

This is the first time that the Orientals have seen their own army appear since they occupied the area.

"Sir, the past two days have been so fierce." The village chief was brought to Gao Fei: "It's also [***] attacking the Orientals, and in the early hours of the morning, the Orientals who were originally stationed in front of the village were also pulled to Shiqi Town, and now from here to Shiqi Town, there is not a single Oriental person." ”

"Sure?" Goofy was a little uneasy.

The village chief patted his chest: "Sir, I'll vouch for my head!" ”

God help me!

Gao Fei screamed in his heart, and then saw Yu Wenzheng coming from the front: "Battalion commander, the gunfire in the direction of Shiqi Town suddenly stopped." ”

"Stopped?" Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "The order of the division headquarters is that the battle in Shiqi Town must be ended on the 18th, it seems that Brigade Commander Wang is ready to play for his life on the last day!" ”

"What are we going to do?"

Gao Fei sneered: "The 1st Company and the 2nd Company advance to the closest place to Shiqi Town, and you will command it." I personally mastered the 3rd Company and acted as a reserve for the whole battalion! ”

At 22:30, the 1st and 2nd companies of the 3rd Battalion began to move in the direction of Shiqi Town. At 23 o'clock, two whole companies entered the designated attack site.

At 23:30, the 3rd Company under the personal command of Gao Fei also arrived at the attack position.

More than 400 brothers lay on their stomachs silently, without making a sound.

It began to rain again, and the January rain hit me, and the bitter cold, the weary brethren, endured sleepiness and cold, and waited silently.

The squads of the lock posts were placed at the forefront of the assault.

The lock post lay there, motionless.

An unknown little rush, struggling out of the dirt, crawled on the rain-soaked ground, and stopped when it reached the lock post.

The lock pillar looked at the little worm curiously, and the drowsiness and cold were also dispelled by the arrival of the little worm.

With a flick of his finger, the worm turned its belly to the sky, but quickly turned over and ran away in a panic.

The pillar smiled, laughing happily

If there is no war, I would be as carefree as this little worm in my hometown with my parents. Maybe, maybe I've already courted my mother-in-law.

Thinking of it, the lock post smiled a little shyly again

In 1938, the 18th day of January in the 27th year of the Republic of China, dawned.

200 daredevils were assembled, each armed with weapons, three grenades, and a large knife on their backs. Standing at the forefront of the death squad is Mao Dingyuan, who personally acted as the captain of the death squad.

Looking at the equipment of the brothers, Wang Kejun's heart felt sour.

It was this group of brothers who had made 11 consecutive charges, and with their rudimentary weapons, they had to open a gap for the whole brigade.

The brethren are using old-fashioned rifles and big blades to fight the cannons and machine guns of the army!

This is true in the big field, and it is also true here in Shiqi Town. When, the Sichuan army will also be able to have its own heavy firepower?

"Brethren." Wang Kejun calmed down his emotions: "It stands to reason that I should have brought a box of oceans, but I didn't, except for a pocket watch, I didn't have anything of value on me!" But I beg you, it's up to you whether the whole brigade can take Shiqi Town today! ”

Mao Dingyuan stepped forward: "Luzao, don't say it, brothers understand, give orders!" ”

Wang Kejun took a long breath: "Death squad, go!" ”

The 200 brothers, under the command of Mao Dingyuan, began to quietly approach the position of the army in Shiqi Town.

On this road, too many brothers of the 78th Brigade fell here, and too much blood stained the road red.

The rain hit the crawling death squad members drop by drop.

Just as he was about to approach the position of the army, the machine gun on the position of the army suddenly rang out.

Seeing that the raid attempt was discovered, Mao Dingyuan roared wildly and struggled to stand up:

"Brothers, rush!"

200 daredevils, one after another, jumped up from the ground, threw the grenade in their hands with all their might, and pulled out the big blade behind them:

"Rush!"
