Zhuang Jihua still arranged the old tactics, all the commandos carried flower machine guns with big knives on their backs, all the support detachments were bayonets, and the covering detachments concentrated twelve machine guns, half of each of the light and heavy machine guns, and now Zhuang Jihua has more machine guns in his hands, and the two regiments he captured are equipped with a large number of machine guns, and the equipment of Sun Chuanfang's troops is stronger than Wu Peifu. The twelve machine guns opened fire in unison, striking at one point.

The commandos rushed and fought with their guns, fifty meters, and in the blink of an eye, the flames sprayed by the machine guns formed a barrage, and the barrage quickly advanced forward, and all those who tried to stop it were smashed to pieces. After entering the position, the commandos jumped over the trenches, ignoring the enemy in the trenches, but continued to attack in depth, and before the enemies in the trenches had time to rejoice, the support detachments behind jumped into the trenches, and the bayonets saw blood, and the unusually tragic fight began.

After the assault team penetrated deep into the depths, it quickly divided into three groups and strangled the enemy positions repeatedly, causing great confusion to the enemy and making it impossible for the enemy commander to organize forces to counterattack; The support team quickly annihilated the enemy at the front, and then followed, and the enemy commander retreated to the last trench in a panic, desperately organizing a reluctant defensive line. But at this moment, another fierce burst of gunfire came from the flank, and Xue Yue personally led a company to break into the position, and the enemy was completely confused.

Zhuang Jihua's assault was not in contact with Xue Yue in advance, but Xue Yue, with his understanding of Zhuang Jihua, knew that he was definitely not willing to be captured, and in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from this direction, he put the strongest Dai Anlan 20th Company of the three regiments in this direction, he also thought that Zhuang Jihua would launch a surprise attack at night, so he stayed in the company, but after waiting all night, to see that the sky was about to dawn, the expected raid still did not happen, Xue Yue returned to the small temple disappointed, but halfway through, the mountain was beaten, and he quickly returned to Dai Lian, Personally led the two teams to attack.

Dai Anlan Company is Xue Yue's last reserve, they only fought one battle yesterday, a very unhappy battle, there are more than 100 people left in the company, and they have long been suffocated, Xue Yue released them at this time, just like releasing a group of tigers. Dai Anlan led the assault team to rush to the front, and this group of tigers quickly rushed into the enemy formation, slaughtering like chopping melons and vegetables, and the enemy quickly collapsed.

The passage was opened, the two divisions converged, and Xiong Shouyun quickly conveyed Zhuang Jihua's order to Xue Yue, allowing the whole of the three regiments to withdraw into the station for the final hold. Xue Yue immediately sent someone to inform the chief of staff of Xiaomiao, abandon Xiaomiao, and the whole regiment retreated to the station.

Because he was worried about Zhuang Jihua's counterattack, Zheng Junyan did not return to his headquarters to rest, but stayed in Li Junyi's brigade headquarters, and he was urging Li Junyi to strengthen his defense all night, but the expected attack did not come for a long time, although the officers in the command headquarters did not say anything, but their faces became worse and worse, Li Junyi went back to sleep first, Zheng Junyan also thought that the judgment was wrong, and he fell asleep in a daze before dawn when he was deeply bored, but as soon as he fell asleep, the fierce gunfire woke him up, he jumped up from the bed and listened to the fierce gunfire outside, Immediately run to Command.

There was chaos in the headquarters, the officers of all departments were awakened from their sleep, some of them were still wearing underwear and underwear, Zheng Junyan didn't have time to say anything, he immediately ordered reinforcements, and he had not yet received a report, he completely intuitively judged that the position he occupied yesterday was under attack.

"Fuck, they're really here." As soon as Zheng Junyan's order was given, Li Junyi rushed into the headquarters in a rage. Although Li Junyi didn't say anything when he left, he thought that Zheng Junyan was a frightened bird, but he didn't expect it......

"They still have the strength to fight back!" Zheng Junyan ignored Li Junyi, but muttered in the direction of the fierce gunshots, and could hear that the battle was extremely fierce.

"Damn, I don't believe it, they have so many troops! Transfer the three regiments up and hold it off for me! Li Junyi was anxious to make up for last night's mistake and hurriedly ordered.

"I've sent reinforcements." Zheng Junyan said calmly that since the battle, he has suffered too many blows, and this surprise attack can no longer make him excited, he is not worried about the position being recaptured, he knows that Zhuang Jihua no longer has much strength, even if he recaptures the position, he can conquer it again today.

Soon the gunfire gradually subsided, and the news came from the reinforcements that the position was held and the Northern Expeditionary Army retreated to the station. Li Junyi took a long breath, and finally there were no major mistakes.

But then the news came that it was not so good, one of the regiments guarding the position suffered heavy casualties, the regimental commander was seriously wounded, and half of the troops were lost.

Li Junyi's face turned pale, and in less than twenty-four hours, his casualties reached more than 1,000 people, while his entire army was only 4,000 people.

Then Peng Dequan came to report that the small hill was empty, and the Northern Expeditionary Army had all withdrawn into the station. This news made Li Junyi a little frustrated, it turned out that Zhuang Jihua's purpose was only to respond to Xue Yue's troops, not to counterattack and restore the defensive line. However, Zheng Junyan was very excited, which meant that Zhuang Jihua's strength had been exhausted, and he was no longer able to hold the two support points of the hill and the station, so he could only retreat to the station.

"Today's counterattack is their last counterattack, Zhuang Jihua no longer has the strength, today we are attacking on all fronts." Zheng Junyan said extremely excitedly that the torment he had endured in the past nine days was finally coming to an end.

Zheng Junyan adjusted his deployment all morning, he handed over the west to Peng Dequan, let Li Junyi attack the front, Liang Hongen attacked the east, and Yang Genghe attacked the flank and rear of the station.

Zhuang Jihua is also desperately strengthening the defense, now he has only more than 1,200 troops in his hands, and there are more than 400 light and serious wounded, the key is that the structure of the troops is chaotic, although the first battalion is a battalion, in fact, there are less than 100 people, and the second battalion has more than 100 people, Zhuang Jihua merged the first battalion into the second battalion, handed over to Yu Chengwan to command, and guarded the front. There were still more than 100 people left in the third battalion, and Zhuang Jihua transferred a company from the guard battalion to gather 200 people and handed them over to Liu Jing to command to defend the east. In the south, there are about 200 people from the 7th and 8th battalions of the 3rd regiment to defend, and the west is guarded by the 9th battalion, and the guard battalion and reconnaissance platoon serve as reserves.

Every obstacle in the station has been transformed into a fire point, the trenches are criss-crossed, the dark bunkers are dense, the rooms are all opened, the abandoned carriages, the front of the locomotive is pushed to the intersection, becoming an obstacle, and the core platform is densely covered with sandbags, and the roof and window sills are all full of sandbags.

"If I die in battle, the troops will be commanded by Commander Xue, Commander Xue will be replaced by Deputy Commander Xiong, and Deputy Commander Xiong will be commanded by Chief of Staff Xi,...." Zhuang Jihua is now not sure if he can get out of Niuhang Station alive, and he doesn't want anything else now, just fight this battle, if he can live, he can't live, so he has to cross in vain.

After appointing the successor, Zhuang Jihua went to the position to check again, and by the way, he boosted morale. In this era of warfare, morale is very important. Zhuang Jihua has already understood that the firepower in this period is very weak, and the situation of 10,000 cannons in film and television dramas will never appear, otherwise, let alone nine days, Niuhang Station will be flattened in three days.

"Brethren, we have been on duty for ten days today, and I am proud to be your commander! Under the siege of several times the enemy, not only did you not collapse, but you destroyed a large number of enemies! Forcing them to keep increasing their troops! I don't know if we'll make it out alive, but I know we'll kill a lot of enemies before we fall! Let them pay a terrible price! We have strongly cooperated with the actions of the main frontal force! Brethren! The enemy is bound to fail! We will win! Victory must be ours! Long live the Northern Expedition! Long live the revolution! Zhuang Jihua gave an impassioned speech to the soldiers on the battlefield.

"Long live the Northern Expedition! Long live the revolution! ”

"Long live the Northern Expedition! Long live the revolution! ”

The officers and men in the trenches raised their steel guns in their hands and let out a thunderous roar.

"Sir!" A soldier ran in front of Zhuang Jihua, he was dirty, his face was covered with blood, he raised his hand to give a military salute to Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua solemnly returned the salute: "In the next life, I will still follow you as a soldier!" ”

Zhuang Jihua had tears in his eyes, and stepped forward to hug him: "Good brother!" ”

But Zhuang Jihua did not completely ask the soldiers to hold on, after he returned to the command headquarters, he quietly went to the temporary ambulance, found the military doctor, and ordered him that once the army failed, he must lead the wounded to surrender, and try his best to let these wounded live, the military doctor's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this was Zhuang Jihua's order.

"They can't fight now, they've done their duty, there's no point in letting them die, so you have to take and carry out this order. Do you understand? Zhuang Jihua said sternly.

The medic hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can't carry out this order, because I was already dead in battle by that time." ”

"No, you don't have to fight, your mission is to keep the wounded alive, they will be the seeds for the rebuilding of the first division, do you understand?" Zhuang Jihua was a little anxious, he grabbed the arm of the military doctor and said hurriedly: "You are a soldier, you must obey orders." ”

"The commander's order is for me to surrender, but the revolutionary soldiers cannot surrender." The military doctor said unwaveringly.

"Confused! Surrendered, the personal name was damaged, but the revolutionary forces were preserved, you choose, I don't have time to talk to you. Zhuang Jihua reluctantly let go and turned around to leave.

"Sir," the medic shouted behind him, "will you surrender?" ”

"My mission is to hold the Cattle Station, and I must complete this mission unless I die in battle." Zhuang Jihua left the ambulance without looking back, and with tears in his eyes, the military doctor slowly and solemnly saluted his back.

Shells exploded inside the station with a sharp whistling, and the enemy offensive began.
