To the west of Huailai City, the sound of artillery in the distance could be faintly heard, and a detachment of infantry was advancing rapidly along the road, and the dust raised by the infantry formation formed a thin line in the sky, and the officers galloped in front and behind the infantry formation, encouraging the soldiers to speed up their advance. /、ǒМ\\

In the southwest of Huailai City, the troops of the Eighth Route Army walked through the mountains, the soldiers were sweating, the exhaled air combined with the cold air to form a fog, and many fogs formed a cloud of fog-like gas in the air, on the hillside, several male and female soldiers played Allegro, encouraging the soldiers to speed up.

To the east of Huailai City, the Second Division also rushed towards Huailai along the highway, but instead of walking, they took trucks, and dozens of trucks rushed towards Huailai along the road.

Looking down from the sky, there are three infantry teams rapidly approaching Huailai, one east and one west, two armies are advancing along the road towards Huailai, while the other army is leaving the road, shuttling between the mountains, and rapidly approaching Huailai from the southwest. In Huailai City, the drawbridge is raised, the four gates are closed, the city is heavily guarded, and the muzzle of the gun exudes a solemn cold light.

Suddenly, the cannon roared from not far away, and the soldiers at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, but the atmosphere was still so tense. After more than an hour, a group of figures appeared on the road, and the commander of the city head observed it, ordered the city gate to be opened, and the army quickly entered the city, and then the drawbridge was pulled up again, and the city gate was closed again.

There was a faint roar in the sky, and several silver warplanes swept past the city and flew eastward, and the officer who had just landed at the head of the city looked at the target of the plane, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he immediately went down the city and ran towards the east gate.

Ten miles away, the smoke of gunfire was billowing, the bodies of the dead were lying across the open road, and the guns and ammunition were everywhere, and it was clear that the attackers had not had time to collect and hastily retreated.

"Bastard! Kill that bastard! ”

When Zhang Lingfu heard that the avant-garde company was ambushed, he was furious and immediately ordered the commander of the avant-garde company to be shot. The avant-garde company was ambushed by the Japanese army at a place about ten miles away from Huailai, and the whole company was killed by more than sixty percent, and the company commander fled back with the remaining forty or so soldiers, and the avant-garde regiment was forced to stop advancing and send a search army to search forward.

Zhang Lingfu was very angry, the avant-garde company was almost in his arms, and he was actually ambushed, which shows how lax the avant-garde company was in action. Being able to attack Huailai was the result of his efforts, Guo Xunqi asked him to be responsible for blocking in the north, but after thinking about the whole battle situation, he thought that Huailai was empty and should take the opportunity to usurp Huailai, so he took advantage of the loophole in the order and instigated a de facto attack on Huailai, fortunately, Guo Xunqi added this in the subsequent order.

On the way to the march, the army received information from the local government that the Japanese garrison in Huailai had about 260 people and more than 700 puppet troops.

"Order the army to speed up! Don't worry, the devil is trying to confuse us! Tell Brigade Commander Song to rush straight over! Order Brigade Commander Jiang to lead his troops to detour through the North Gate and instigate an attack from the North Gate! Order Captain Chen, speed up, be sure to rush to Huailai within two hours, and plan an attack on the south gate! Zhang Lingfu quickly determined the purpose of the Japanese army, which was just a copy of many ancient Chinese tactics, thinking that ambushing the avant-garde army could disturb the enemy's mind, but the Japanese forgot that this was in China, and their truth could not be hidden from the Chinese. The army advanced again, the avant-garde regiment passed through Shilipu very smoothly, and when it reached the city, it did not do any rest at all and launched a battalion to attack the city, and the regiment's 120 mortars fired continuously at the city, and the follow-up army quickly deployed to collect ladders in various places.

Half an hour later, the first wave of attacks was repulsed by the Japanese, and then the army again instigated an attack, this time the brigade's 75 mountain artillery arrived and joined the queue to bombard the city, and the retreating avant-garde battalion was put in order.

The shells exploded at the head of the city, blasting the city wall through the gaps, and during the shelling, more squadrons arrived, and they accepted the task under the city, and then quickly left.

In a set of courtyards not far from the city, Captain Muramasa, the captain of the Huailai garrison, put his command knife on the neck of a puppet army officer with a fierce look, and the officer's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his hand holding the Hotline trembled inexhaustibly, and his mouth repeated the translation order inexhaustibly. In the courtyard, seven or eight old men, women, children, and soldiers wearing puppet army uniforms were squatting on the ground, closely monitored by Japanese soldiers.

The sound of artillery became denser and denser, and the shells gradually moved from the head of the city to the city, exploding in Hengyu and in the streets, and the deafening shouts came from outside the city, but the return fire inside the city became weaker and weaker. The puppet officer's face was pale, and although the weather was still cold, his forehead was still sweating. Two Japanese officers rushed in through the gate and told Muramasa that after listening to Muramasa with a blank face, he gave the order in a stern tone, and the puppet army officer's eyes were rolling inexhaustibly, and his heart was scared and anxious.

Gunfire was clearly heard near the city, and the shouts were clearly audible, and it was clear that the squadron had broken into the city. Muramasa stood up and straightened his military uniform, grabbed the command knife and waved it violently, the head of the puppet army officer rolled out of the way, the corpse fell to the ground, a fierce gunshot rang out in the courtyard, and Muramasa walked out of the room with a bloody command knife.

On the street, the blue sky and white sun flag were fluttering at the head of the city, a section of the city wall had collapsed, Chinese soldiers were swarming in through this gap, and the Japanese army was retreating and resisting. Muramasa's face turned pale, his lips were tightly closed, and after observing the situation, he quickly retreated with his army and retreated to the core position in the city.

The core position is actually the garrison camp, this camp is the original Huailai flag camp station, there are three courtyards and training grounds, after the Japanese army occupied Huailai, it was set up as the garrison station.

After advancing into the camp, the village did not have time to count the number of people, but the number of soldiers who retreated by feeling was only seventy or eighty. The village was immediately barricading the gates, and soldiers erected machine guns and mortar grenadiers on the roof. The pursuing squadron quickly outflanked the camp, while the other searched the streets for remnants, and the Chinese in the city opened the gates and rushed into the streets to help the squadron.

The two Japanese soldiers fled into an alley in a panic, and several Chinese soldiers chased them in, and the two soldiers fired their guns indiscriminately, and the bullets hit the wall, carving deep marks. A door was quietly opened in the depths of the alley, and a few strong men felt out of the door, touching the back of the devil, and then the kitchen knife fluttered, cutting down the two devils, and when the Chinese soldiers rushed over, several strong men picked up the devil's rifle with satisfaction and showed off to the soldiers.

The soldier praised a few words, then turned and ran towards the place where the gun rang out, and the strong man followed with a gun. When they arrived on the street, there were already many people on the street, some of them were holding wooden sticks, some were holding iron rods, some were holding kitchen knives, men, old people, women, and all the people in the city came out.

"It's back!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Hahaha! Devil! We also have today! ”

The crane-haired old people were full of tears, looking up to the sky and smiling, the men picked up kitchen knives and wooden sticks and rushed down the hair door, the women took out the bedding for the dowry and spread it on the door panel of their own houses that were removed, and the doctors and men of the pharmacy carried the medicine box.

The Japanese army, who had no way back, was very stubborn, and the attacking army left a corpse in front of the gate. Two soldiers carried bazookas, and two explosions pierced the wall, followed by two more explosions from the other side, and the gate flew into the courtyard, followed by a burst of shells into the courtyard.

The loud military horn sounded, "Commando rush with me!" The officer swung his gun and rushed towards the gate, and the Japanese machine gun clicked, and a string of blood appeared on the officer's chest, and several soldiers around him immediately fell to the ground.

"Bang," "Bang," "Bang," "Bang," several gunshots rang out in succession, and the Japanese machine guns were immediately dumbfounded, and the assault teams rushed into the courtyard.

Muramasa frantically swung his sword and screamed loudly and galloped back and forth, and a fierce battle unfolded in the first courtyard, with a dozen remnants of Japanese troops rushing out from the rooftops and corners to kill the oncoming commandos.

Outside the north gate, the commander of the 105th Division, Liang Yan Guanglie, personally led the 315 Brigade to the north gate, the army re-guarded and rushed over, marching all the way, the soldiers rebelled a little tired, but the morale was still very high, the war was fought from northern Hubei to Pingjin, seeing that the great rivers and mountains were about to be recovered, and after several years of hard fighting, they were finally going to see victory, who was not excited?

"Speed up!" As soon as Liang Guanglie's words fell, a fierce gunfire was heard in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the place where the gunshots had been fired, not knowing what was going on there.

"Tell! Commander Wei of the avant-garde regiment urgently telegraphed! ”

The radio operator ran with the walkie-talkie on his back, and then turned his back to Liang Guanglie, who grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "What's the situation! Fast! ”

The hurried voice of the head of the avant-garde regiment Wei came from the noisy current: "Tell the division commander, tell the division commander, I found a group of devils, coming from the east, it seems to be the reinforcements of the devils, there is about a brigade of military strength, is there a clear view of the back, repeat, about a brigade!" I can't see clearly in the back! ”

"Hear me! Resist! Liang Guanglie hung up the radio and immediately ordered to seize the hill in front of the left, and ordered Shen Shifei, the commander of the 315th Brigade, to immediately lead his troops to bypass the right flank, and at the same time urgently told Zhang Lingfu that Japanese reinforcements had arrived.

At this time, Zhang Lingfu had already rushed to the West Gate, and received Liang Liang's report that he immediately set up his headquarters at the head of the West Gate, ordered the 317 Brigade that was entering the city to rush to the East Gate, set up a defense at the East Gate, and ordered the new 21st Division to march forcibly and rush to Huailai within two hours; The telegram told Chen Geng, who was still in the southwest mountainous area of Huailai, that Japanese reinforcements were attacking Huailai, and asked him to rush to Huailai within two hours.

The second division was originally very smooth, but it was about to come to Huailai, but it was suddenly bombed by the Chinese Air Force, and the 16th Wing of the vanguard army suffered heavy losses, all the cars were destroyed, and the artillery was almost lost.

Before arriving in Huailai, he received a report from Captain Muramasa of the Huailai garrison that the Chinese army was attacking Huailai, and the division commander Maruyama Masao immediately divided his troops, and inserted the 16th Wing into the west gate with a detour, and the 4th Wing attacked the east gate along the road, and the 29th Wing followed up, and at the same time ordered the 31st Division from Beiping to come and meet as soon as possible.

As soon as the 316th Brigade arrived at the east gate, the 4th Wing appeared under the city, and the vanguard was fiercely rushing towards the city gate. Seeing that it was too late to close the city, Zhang Qinyun, the commander of the 316th Brigade, immediately ordered the forward regiment to return fire, ordered the follow-up troops to go to the city, and the artillery set up artillery near the city gate and opened fire outside the city.

With the arrival of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, the battle for Huailai has entered!
