As another group of enemies poured in, the seventh company was forced to retreat, at this time there was a sound of killing in the town, Du Yuming, Huang Mingcheng came to support with a team of workers, as soon as these workers joined the battle group, the pressure of the seventh company suddenly lightened, and the scattered soldiers approached each other and formed a new formation, stabilizing the passive situation.

Zhuang Jihua immediately withdrew from the battle group and yelled at the big bull: "Block the follow-up troops." Before the words fell, several enemies rushed at him, and the herald immediately blocked in front of him, and was stabbed to death almost immediately, at this moment, two soldiers rushed up from Zhuang Jihua's side, and the enemy was killed, Zhuang Jihua did not go up, he put the knife in front of him, pulled out the shell gun, removed the magazine, pressed the bullet into it one by one, and then loaded the magazine, buckled the plate machine, and shot one by one.

A group of people roared past Zhuang Jihua's side, led by a diminutive Hu Zongnan.

Hu Zongnan, who was guarding the hill on the left side of Zhangmutou, felt that the pressure was not great, although nearly 100 enemy troops attacked him, but the enemy's will to attack was not tenacious, and Hu Zongnan easily repelled the enemy's two attacks; But the enemy did not retreat completely, but opened fire on them from the mountainside. Hu Zongnan felt that something was wrong, and then he found that the gunfire in the town was quiet, and the enemy rushed into the town, Hu Zongnan immediately made a decision, handed over the position to the deputy platoon commander, and brought two squads to support.

Don't look at Hu Zongnan's small stature, he worked the assassination, when he first signed up, others said that he was small and suffered a loss with a bayonet, he remembered this at the time, he used special labor during assassination training, others practiced for an hour, he practiced for two hours, and practiced more at night, and his kung fu paid off, and his assassination skills could be ranked in the top five in the entire period.

During the training of the Seventh Company, he also grasped the assassination in the first platoon, and the assassination in the first platoon ranked first among the three platoons. As soon as his twenty or so people rushed in, they immediately pressed the enemy back to the breach, and Zhuang Jihua was able to completely free up his hands and organize people to block the enemy's follow-up troops behind.

But at this time, there was a sound of killing from the right side, and it turned out that an enemy broke into the town along the mountain beam on the right flank, Song Xilian was in a hurry, this vacancy was what Zhuang Jihua had pointed out to him at the beginning, and he also arranged two observation posts, but he didn't expect these two people to be attracted by the enemy situation in the front, so they were successfully attacked by the enemy.

The position of the second platoon immediately fell into chaos, and Song Xilian was ashamed and angry and led people to desperately block the attack, never allowing this enemy to attack the flank of the company. Although the casualties in the second platoon were large, they bought time for Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua saw the chaos of the second platoon, this time he did not immediately rush up, he first observed the front, the enemy in the front was controlled at the breakthrough, and then he asked Da Niu to block the enemy's follow-up troops, and let Zhang Sanwa cover Da Niu to deal with the enemy's machine guns; Finally, the second platoon was reinforced.

When Zhuang Jihua arrived at the second platoon, the position of the second platoon was on the verge of collapse, and Song Xilian was placed in the middle by three enemies, staggering to dodge the enemy's bayonets. Timely reinforcements allowed the second platoon to stabilize its position again, but the second platoon had already dispersed, and the corner of the house was full of soldiers scuffling together, and from time to time there were low screams and angry curses.

Du Yuming came up with the workers' team to reinforce again, his gun instantly opened a gap, the workers of the workers' team shouted and rushed into the enemy group, don't look at these workers have no training, but who hasn't done a fight, let them shoot in a proper manner, or a neatly arranged one-on-one assassination, they may not be able to, but they are not afraid of this kind of melee, a few workers didn't even hold a gun at all, they rushed up with a big knife and guillotine, and dozens of workers rushed up, pushing the enemy back a lot.

The frontal enemy finally collapsed, and the enemy who was still desperately rushing to kill just now turned around and fled, Cao Yuan stopped the soldiers from chasing Yu Wang, and asked Hu Zongnan to command the frontal defense, and he led people to the second row position, but at this moment, two workers hurriedly ran from Zhennan, and they were panting and reported that there was a Chen army in the south coming towards Zhangmutou, which was only two kilometers away from here. Cao Yuan was stunned at the time.

He hurriedly found Zhuang Jihua, after Zhuang Jihua got this information, he was a little stupid, there was another Chen army in the south, he hurriedly asked how many people there were, and the worker replied that there were about a thousand people, which made him feel that this time there was a lot of bad luck, and he felt for the first time that he might have to explain here.

He looked at the soldiers who were still fighting, and nervously calculated the strength of the troops, this time the casualties of the seventh company in hand-to-hand combat were about more than one platoon, and the remaining troops plus the workers' team were only about 130 people, and after deducting a squad for defense on the hill, only about 120 people could be put into battle, blocking on both sides..., a little bit of a feeling of looking for death. If they had retreated, the remaining forces would have been saved, but the enemy had fled, and the brothers would have died in vain, and they had disobeyed the orders they had received. Fighting, Zhuang Jihua decided to fight after thinking about it. What he instilled in the Seventh Company was that the order was above all else, and even if he sacrificed his life, he must carry out the order, and if he retreated, then the Seventh Company would lose its military spirit, and it would be difficult to guarantee what it would become in the future battle. The key now is when the follow-up troops will arrive.

Zhuang Jihua asked Cao Yuan to take a group of people and two workers to Zhennan to arrange positions and monitor the enemy, and he led the rest of the people to pounce into the second row position, Zhuang Jihua's arrival made the enemy on the second row position even more panicked, and the opponent's continuous reinforcements showed that the front had been defeated, the enemy's army was shaken, and he was quickly defeated and retreated.

Song Xilian came to Zhuang Jihua with a flushed face and asked for punishment, Zhuang Jihua shook his head, and just told everyone to hurry up and prepare to resist the enemy's next attack. Then he called Song Xilian, Hu Zongnan, and Du Yuming aside and told them the information just now.

Hearing that nearly a thousand more enemies were coming from the south, the three of them were a little stupid, and Hu Zongnan finally suggested: "Company commander, we will withdraw our troops to the hill and use the hill as a blocking position." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him and sneered: "Platoon Commander Hu, who do you want to deceive, the enemy in front of the retreat to the hill will not run away from the town." Zhuang Jihua's words seem to be nothing, but they are actually very harsh. In Pingyue, he called Hu Zongnan either Brother Shoushan or Lao Hu, and only when he gave an order did he use the title of Platoon Commander Hu, and the three of them knew this very well.

"But we don't have the strength to hold off the enemy on both sides." Hu Zongnan's face was slightly red.

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it." Zhuang Jihua said: "Shoushan, Mengguo, Guangting; Do you know what is the most important thing about a force? The three of them looked at each other with some confusion.

"The most important thing for an army is not how accurate the guns are and how powerful the assassinations are, but the soul, the military soul of the army; The soul of an army is made of iron and blood, forged with will. So what is this soul? It is tenacity, bravery, resolute execution of orders, a desire for victory, and a pursuit of honor. The Seventh Company is a new unit, strictly speaking this is our first battle, if we retreat in this battle, then it will be difficult for the soul of this army to be recovered. ”

"The elimination of Chen Jiongming, the revolution is complete? No, we have not yet gone on the Northern Expedition, we have not resisted the imperialists being driven out of China, and even if we did, this force would have to stay and defend the country. Therefore his soul cannot be dispersed. ”

"Is it possible for us to get the job done? I think it's okay, the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company are right behind us, we've been fighting for so long, they should be almost there, as long as we can hold out for another two hours, they should climb even if they climb. ”

"The enemy who has been calmed down by Changping has been frightened by these two blows, and their attack is so frenzied this time, which shows that our troops who are chasing after them are already very close to them."

"It's entirely possible that we'll get the job done." The more Zhuang Jihua spoke, the more confident he became, and the eyes of the three platoon commanders became brighter and brighter; Zhuang Jihua's reasoning and judgment on the enemy's situation, our feelings, and friendly forces are reasonable, and these three people think, two hours, I'm afraid one hour is enough.

Then Zhuang Jihua began to arrange, he asked Song Xilian to command the frontal defense, and asked Du Yuming to lead the worker team to assist; He and Hu Zongnan took the first and second platoons and a machine gun to the south of the town to block the enemy troops in the south.

After the arrangement was set, he took people to Nanzhenkou, the terrain of Nanzhenkou is wider than the north, which is conducive to the enemy's attack formation, and the people brought by Zhuang Jihua said that there were only about 40 people in two platoons, so they could not form a dense defensive line.

So Zhuang Jihua decided to fight in small detachments, he divided the soldiers into five squads, two of which were the eight soldiers with the best marksmanship in the platoon to form a separate team, Zhuang Jihua gave them the task of shooting the enemy's officers at a distance, and shooting the enemy's machine gunners at close range. He divided the rest into two groups of four, each defending a point and using the point to control the surface. He placed the only machine gun at the entrance of the town, and he chose three spare positions to give the machine gunner a lot of flexibility. In addition, his herald died in battle, and he asked Zhao Hanjie to come as his herald. This kid rushed to kill twice, but he wasn't injured yet, I really don't know if it's luck or good technique.

After the arrangement was completed, the enemy had not yet appeared, which made Zhuang Jihua a little puzzled, he didn't know that Lian Yanxiong asked Zhang Liguo to be cautious and cautious along the way, so Zhang Liguo was cautious all the way, and the speed of progress was very slow.

Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang in the north attacked again, and there were only two platoons and a team of workers left in the north, Zhuang Jihua saw that the enemy in the south had not yet arrived, so he asked Cao Yuan to command the south, and he ran to the north to check the battle situation.

Chen Jun did not open fire in this attack, and the soldiers' will to attack was even weaker, and they were unwilling to move forward on 150 meters, and the officers' shouting and scolding did not work, but the brave officers died in battle, and none of these officers dared to stand up.

When Zhuang Jihua saw this, he knew that the enemy army was already cold, and the threat was by no means as big as the previous two times, but he was a little strange, why was the gap so big. When Du Yuming saw his appearance, he said to him, there is nothing strange, he interrogated the prisoners, the first two attacks were the joint attacks of Meng Xianxiang and Yuan Yaojiu, especially the last time to lead the charge was their guard company and spy company, these two companies are the best equipment, the military salary is high and sufficient, the soldiers have rich combat experience, Meng Xianxiang and Yuan Yaojiu will never use these two companies to charge, and as long as these two companies charge, there is no unbreakable position. Now that these two companies have been defeated by them, the other companies are naturally frightened.

Zhuang Jihua suddenly realized, no wonder there was such a big gap between this attack and the last one. He rolled his eyes, in that case, then I will add some more material to you, he according to the practice of the south, pick out the soldiers with good marksmanship, and form a sharpshooter team, aren't you afraid, I will fight your officers, and I will beat your officers for the courage of the soldiers, and see what you use to drive the soldiers to attack.

Then he handed over the north to Song Xilian, and he took Zhao Hanjie and hurriedly ran to the south again.

(Zhuang Jihua said loudly: "Brothers, the more votes, the better!! ”）
