Seeing that the troops were ready, Liu Tianshu shouted to Shi Qiang and Company Commander Song to take action. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two grenadiers, who had been prepared in the back, immediately put the shells into the barrels, and only two soft sounds were heard, and two shells flew forward.

A cannonball was falling in the fire lit by the devil on the road, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, and the devils around the fire didn't expect someone to attack at all, two devils were directly blown away, and the other two only felt a spark rushing towards them, and suddenly there was a sharp pain on their faces, and they couldn't help but cover their faces and scream.

The other shell flew towards an improvised machine-gun fortification that the devils had placed on the road, and the heavy machine gun was mounted on a small dirt bag on the side of the road, where two devils were guarding.

Hearing the cannonballs flying through the air, the two devils were also clever, and immediately pounced under the dirt bag, and the two of them had just jumped off the dirt bag, and the machine gun position behind them was blown to pieces.

Although the power of the grenadier canister is not great, it is a very good thing to deal with heavy machine guns.

Many of the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army were knocked out by the simple support weapons of the devils.

As soon as the shells were fired, the prepared Eighth Route Army immediately rushed towards the highway while firing at the same time, especially the two squads of the guard platoon, which were like two sharp knives, rushed to the side of the highway in a blink of an eye, they cooperated with each other, the light machine gunners continued to sweep, the assault group continued to throw grenades and grenades at the devils on the road, and at the same time rushed to the front of the spears, at this time also kept raising their guns and shooting.

The devils and the Imperial Allied Army guarding the road were taken by surprise, and in the blink of an eye, more than two dozen fell, and the rest immediately retreated.

Unfortunately, by this time the soldiers of the guard platoon had rushed close and had also exhausted the bullets in their rifles, and they did not reload, but only put their rifles back, and a short gun appeared in their hands.

At this time, the remaining dozen or so devils, seeing the eight roads rushing towards them, showed a cruel smile on their faces, and they were ready to meet the 38 big cover with bayonets on it.

Who would have thought that before the above was illuminated, the short guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side opened fire one after another, directly stunned the devils who wanted to have a fair white-edged battle with the Eighth Route Army.

Company Commander Song's men followed.

He didn't expect Su Xiaopeng's guard platoon to be so combat-effective and equipped so well, and when he saw the gap open, he naturally rushed forward like a wolf.

Shi Qiang saw that the devils and the Imperial Association army blocking the road were eliminated, and immediately commanded the troops to expand to both sides to cover the westward advance of the main force of the detachment.

Nie Dadong saw that the passage opened in a blink of an eye, and immediately shouted Let's go, and quickly rushed onto the road with those regiment commanders and the soldiers who protected them.

Liu Tianshu rushed onto the road with Hu Qianshi, and when he saw the continuous gunfire on both sides, he didn't stop at the moment, and quickly rushed into the green gauze tent on the other side.

Shi Qiang and Company Commander Song saw that Nie Dadong and they had crossed the road safely, and immediately took cover alternately, retreating while fighting, and quickly ran into the green yarn tent.

The devil in charge of guarding the road didn't expect to be attacked by the Eighth Road, and looking at the Japanese puppet army who were killed and wounded, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and catch up.

It's a pity that when Su Xiaopeng's guard platoon retreated, he didn't forget to collect grenades and the like from the devils, so he retreated to the cornfield and immediately laid a few tricky mines behind him.

After the devils who were following the pursuit were injured seven or eight times, their speed naturally slowed down, and they lost the trace of the Eighth Route Army in a blink of an eye.

Hearing the sound of gunshots on the north side of Mafang Town, Moriki Kato knew that his judgment was indeed correct, but when he thought about this, it was already almost dark.

If you had thought earlier that Liu Tianshu was very likely to be hiding in Hujiawan, then maybe this Eighth Route Army detachment would have become a bag.

It's a pity that the information was delivered to me too late.

Just as it was getting dark, one of his subordinates reported that the plainclothes team had received a report from an informant that a friend who had made an appointment to drink in Mafang Town had missed the appointment.

This friend's home is in Hujiawan.

It's just that this situation is too common, and it didn't attract the attention of the detective team in Zhuma Town, and finally when it was almost dark, a spy saw this report and smelled something strange from it.

However, before the people he sent arrived at Hujiawan, Liu Tianshu's people appeared near Mafang Town.

It's a pity that the large army is still west of the Minjian National Construction Association, and there are only about 1,000 Japanese puppet troops in Mafang Town, and it is not certain where Liu Tianshu will cross the highway from, so Moriki Kato can only arrange the troops along the road, and at the same time let the Japanese puppet army light a fire, in order to scare Liu Tianshu.

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army detachment had broken through the defense line of Mafang Town, Moriki Kato was so angry that he smashed a cup into pieces, and then urgently ordered the Japanese puppet army in the Jiangjiakou stronghold west of Mafang Town to immediately block the road into Taihang Mountain through Jiangjiakou.

Anyway, there are only a few roads around this that can enter the Taihang Mountain, and at the throat of these roads, the Imperial Japanese Army has built a strong stronghold.

At the same time, Moriki Kato hurriedly transferred his troops to the last line of defense by car.

Long Yadong, the commander of the Eighth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, found that the enemy's firepower on the opposite side was weakening, and knew that the situation was different.

It may be that the detachment was on the march, the radio was not turned on, and the Eighth Regiment called several times, but there was no response.

Not long after, the brigade headquarters called back, saying that the head of the headquarters had called and asked Long Yadong to take the team into Taihang Mountain at any cost.

There are fourteen regimental cadres in the squad, and if all these cadres fall into the hands of devils, then the matter is not a joke.

It is not only the brigade commander who will be punished, but I am afraid that the head of the headquarters will not be able to give an account to the central authorities.

But now Long Yadong does not know the specific situation of the detachment at all, only that according to the original plan, the detachment will enter Taihang Mountain through Jiangjiakou under the support of the first battalion.

Thinking of this, Long Yadong gritted his teeth and ordered the first battalion to immediately attack the Jiangjiakou stronghold and take the team into the mountain.

At the same time, he ordered the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to immediately withdraw from the battle and move to the south of Jiangjiakou in an effort to block enemy reinforcements south of Jiangjiakou and buy time for the 1st Battalion to take the Jiangjiakou stronghold.

Just as the 2nd and 3rd Battalions withdrew from the battle and moved in the direction of Jiangjiakou, the radio finally made contact with the detachment.

When he learned that the detachment had successfully broken through the Japanese defense line of Mafang Town and was rushing towards Jiangjiakou, Long Yadong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his troops to speed up.

After getting rid of the devils in Mafang Town, Liu Tianshu ordered the team to get out of the green gauze tent and run forward along the road leading to Jiangjiakou.

Moriki Kato already knew the approximate location of the team, and Jiangjiakou was the closest intersection in and out of Taihang Mountain, Liu Tianshu had no choice but to compete with the devil's reinforcements for time.

Fortunately, it was still dark at this time, and the devil's plane could not come to help in the battle, and even if the devil had a car to transport troops, the commander of the dragon had promised to let the guerrillas operating in this area break the road at all costs and try to slow down the devil's advance.

It can be said that the sooner they arrived at Jiangjiakou, the sooner they were, the sooner they relieved the pressure on the guerrillas.

Nie Dadong and Ye Xiaowei knew that the situation was critical at this time, and immediately ordered the soldiers to throw down all the backpacks and other items to reduce the weight on the soldiers.

When these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army received the order, they had to tearfully throw away all the dry food, quilts and other things, and fly forward with their weapons.

After Hu Qianshi threw away his and Liu Tianshu's luggage, he only tied the gun and Dayang to his back, and flew forward with Liu Tianshu.

After running for a while, Nie Dadong found that the physical fitness of Su Xiaopeng's guard platoon soldiers was significantly higher than that of Company Commander Song's troops. He saw that although the soldiers of the guard platoon had thrown away their luggage, they all carried two guns, one long and one short, and the amount of ammunition they carried was more than twice that of the soldiers of Song Company Commander.

More importantly, these fighters were also responsible for front reconnaissance and flank vigilance, and their speed did not decrease much.

Two hours later, the detachment routed two small enemy forces that were trying to stop them, and heavy gunfire was faintly heard in front.

"Comrades, everyone work hard, the fraternal troops are coming to meet us, everyone run." Ye Xiaowei heard gunshots and explosions in Jiangjiakou in the distance, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and shouted to the soldiers running by.

Liu Tianshu heard the sound of gunfire in the direction of Jiangjiakou, and knew that the receiving troops were attacking the Devil's Fort, so he shouted to Shi Qiang and Shi Hu: "Qiangzi, you and Shi Hu immediately rush over, get in touch with the responding troops, and help them quickly defeat the Jiangjiakou stronghold."

The gunfire in the direction of Jiangjiakou has been ringing for half an hour, and it seems that the brother troops have not yet taken a stronghold, judging from the gunfire, this is less than ten miles away from the Jiangjiakou stronghold.

"Yes, Captain." After Shi Qiang and Shi Hu heard Liu Tianshu's words, they answered loudly, called a warrior with a crossbow on their backs and a warrior with a strange burden on their backs, and quickly ran forward.

Seeing the speed of Shi Qiang's four people suddenly accelerating, Nie Dadong and Ye Xiaowei couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

They originally thought that the guard platoon should have reached the limit under such a high-intensity march and battle, but who would have thought that these people didn't seem to play at all just now.

The soldiers under Company Commander Song couldn't help but be secretly frightened when they saw that although the soldiers of the guard platoon were also panting, their speed did not slow down at all, and they also took the initiative to help carry the six wounded.

Shi Qiang and Shi Hu rushed with two warriors, and in less than half an hour, they ran to the Jiangjiakou stronghold.

The Jiangjiakou stronghold was blocked at the intersection, and the stronghold was facing the direction of the mountain, and the Eighth Route Army had launched three rounds of charges, but they were all forced back by the powerful firepower of the devils, and as for the explosives who rushed up at the risk of death, as many as eight fell.

Tan Changgong, the commander of the first battalion who commanded the attack, saw the soldiers who rushed up to blow up the turret, and fell in a pool of blood, his eyes were already red, and his thick fist slammed into the soil in front of him, and he shouted loudly and angrily: "Demoman, give it to me, and the rest of the people will cover it with fire." ”

A young soldier heard this, holding an explosive bag in both hands, and his body was ready to jump out as soon as he moved.

At this moment, the commander of a company standing beside Tan Changgong shouted excitedly: "Battalion commander, look. (To be continued.) )
