Wu Liangxing was extremely arrogant in Chengguan Town, but he didn't know that at this time, the troops of the Independent Regiment had already begun to set off.

The infantry battalion and artillery battalion troops quickly marched towards Chengguan Town under the leadership of Sun Weiguo, while the cavalry battalion troops set off in a roundabout way under the leadership of Zhong Jian.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Wu Liangxing, who had inspected the positions outside the town, returned to his regimental headquarters, which was set up in the former Zhao Laocai's house.

There are a lot of treasures accumulated in the courtyard of the Zhao family, in addition to these properties that Wu Liangxing snatched as bandits, there are also people who compete for the people of Chengguan Town, and there are also women who were robbed by Wu Liangxing in the courtyard.

"Please, let my daughter go, this is the last ocean in our family, I'll give it to you, you let go of my daughter, she's still young."

Just about to enter the courtyard, an old man blocked Wu Liangxing's road, the old man was wearing shabby clothes, he was holding more than ten oceans in his hand, and looked at Wu Liangxing with pleading eyes.

Wu Liangxing looked at the ocean in the hands of an old man, and after seeing that there were only more than ten pieces, he waved his hand.

The two puppet soldiers behind him directly snatched the ocean from the old man's hand, and then Wu Liangxing kicked the old man in the stomach.

The old man fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Go find a hundred oceans for Lao Tzu, and if you have a hundred oceans, Lao Tzu will let your daughter go." Wu Liangxing said indifferently.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped directly on the old man's body and walked over, and the puppet soldiers who followed behind Wu Liangxing beat the old man violently.

"Hmph, I don't know who your daughter is, maybe she will be played to death a long time ago."

When he came to the courtyard, Wu Liangxing glanced back at the old man, he did not have the slightest expression on his face, and said in a contemptuous tone.

This is just something that often happens in Chengguan Town, and Wu Liangxing is very cruel to the people of Chengguan Town.

He killed hundreds of youths from Chengguan Town because they might join the Eighth Route Army.

Almost all the women in Chengguan Town have been plagued by these puppet soldiers, and every family has no property left by these puppet soldiers.

"Those dozen or so Taijun are enjoying it, staying in the town every day, where they are like us, they have to be guarded here. You say that if the Eighth Route Army fights, how many people can they come? ”

"Who made the family Taijun, even if the Eighth Route Army has a bold son, they don't dare to come here, don't you know, there are tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and cavalry in the town, and the Eighth Route Army will not come here unless they are looking for death."

"I heard that Sun Weiguo, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, is not simple, he killed thousands of Japanese soldiers and Mongolian soldiers before. If they come here, I don't know if we'll be able to repel them. ”

"In the past, we didn't have artillery and machine guns, and those Jin Sui troops came to encircle and suppress us, so we couldn't still beat them away. If the Eighth Route Army dares to come here, we will definitely be able to beat them away. ”

The puppet soldiers were smoking cigarettes and talking softly on their positions outside the town, their faces proud.

They felt that if the troops of the Eighth Route Army dared to come here, they would definitely be able to knock the troops of the Eighth Route Army away.

"Company commander, look, look, there are a lot of ......"

At this time, a puppet soldier couldn't help but exclaim, he pointed to the road in the distance, and his face turned pale.

The puppet army company commander raised the telescope and hurriedly took a look, when he saw those soldiers wearing gray military uniforms appear in the telescope, the puppet army company commander couldn't help but be stunned, after a short period of consternation, he hurriedly shouted: "The Eighth Route Army is here." ”

As the shouts of the puppet army company commander sounded, the puppet army troops on the position quickly entered a combat state.

Light and heavy machine guns were also ready to shoot, and the puppet soldiers had a certain morale.

The news also quickly spread to the town, Wu Liangxing was a bandit, and when he heard that the Eighth Route Army was coming, he ran directly to the position outside the town.

A squad of Japanese soldiers also hurried to the outside of the town, they came to supervise the war, if the puppet army withdrew, they would shoot and kill.

Sun Weiguo came on foot, and attacked Chengguan Town with two infantry battalions and artillery battalions, totaling more than 800 people.

Groups of horses and mules carried weapons and ammunition, and trucks were loaded with artillery and shells.

When it was two thousand meters away from the puppet army's position, Sun Weiguo ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the artillery battalion began to fire at the artillery position.

The artillery battalion participated in the battle with one company and three companies, with a total of six 41 mountain guns, 12 150MM mortars, and four 82MM mortars.

Twenty-two artillery pieces were erected, and the muzzles of the black holes began to be aimed at the puppet positions.

The commander of the artillery battalion, Shi, observed the situation of the puppet army's position through the artillery mirror, and this precious artillery mirror was naturally captured from the devil soldiers.

"Deputy regimental commander, the artillery unit is ready." The stone soon ran to Sun Weiguo and reported.

Sun Weiguo put down the binoculars in his hand, and he looked at Shi and Hong Zhiqiang.

"The puppet army troops are well equipped, and their positions and fortifications are all reinforced, you must not despise the puppet army troops. The reconnaissance platoon has cut off the wires, and the Japanese army will not know about the situation here for the time being, but once the fight starts, the Japanese army in the county town will still know. We only have one day, it's 8:50 in the morning, and by 5 o'clock the battle must be over, and I have only eight hours to fight. ”

Looking at Shi and Hong Zhiqiang, Sun Wei said Chinese sternly, Sun Weiguo was very serious when he was fighting.

"Yes, Deputy Commander." The two battalion commanders immediately saluted.

Sun Weiguo began to squat on the ground, and he gave the battle order. The officers above the infantry battalion and platoon all came to Sun Weiguo, and they squatted aside, looking at Sun Weiguo.

The infantry battalion drew two infantry platoons, one machine gun platoon and one artillery squad to form the core offensive force.

This unit of more than 100 people is the main attacking force, and the rest of the troops are to fight around them.

At the same time, on both sides of the core force, Sun Weiguo deployed two infantry platoons to assist the task, and the machine gun company entered a machine gun position one thousand meters away from the puppet army to cover the attack of the troops together with the artillery unit.

In addition to leaving two infantry platoons as reserves, Sun Weiguo put all the infantry battalions and artillery battalions into combat in one go.

Perhaps because of the difference in ideology, Sun Weiguo's command of the operation was mainly aimed at killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops and reducing the losses of his own troops, and the loss of weapons and ammunition was completely acceptable in Sun Weiguo's view.

But old Red Army soldiers like Zhong Jian and Shen Wei value weapons very much in their hearts, and they are worried that the troops will not have weapons and ammunition.

"Remember, if the assisting unit can break through the position first, they will automatically be upgraded to the core unit, and the rest of the troops will try to assist them in attacking." Sun Weiguo said with a serious face.
