After listening to Shi Qiang's introduction, several cadres above the company commander level of the independent battalion gathered around the table, thinking about how to fight this battle next.

According to the battalion commander, the main purpose of this battle was to destroy the Kogawa stronghold of the devils, destroy the railway transportation lines of the devils, and force Watanabe to transfer the Noeda brigade eastward.

At the same time, Liu Tianshu also demanded that in this battle, it is best not to storm the Xiaohe stronghold, that is, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Xiaohe stronghold cannot be burned by fire.

Because the troops left Fuya Mountain this time, the ammunition consumed by the soldiers in the battle could only be replenished by surrendering. Another purpose of attacking the Xiaohe stronghold was to capture the enemy's ammunition for their own use.

Yang Donghu stared at the map for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Battalion commander, from the situation of Comrade Shi Qiang's reconnaissance, the Xiaohe stronghold will send a patrol team composed of eight devils to patrol the railway in the stronghold defense area, and the interval between patrols is one hour during the day. The devil's patrol will be in these two positions, out of sight of the turrets on both sides, I think we can make a fuss about this? ”

Yang Donghu has been following Liu Tianshu for a while, and has gradually become accustomed to Liu Tianshu's practice of liking surprise attacks, and when he heard Liu Tianshu's request to take the Xiaohe stronghold at the lowest cost, he began to fight the idea of the devil patrol.

Jin Zhenbiao heard what the first company commander said, looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Battalion commander, if you just knock out the Xiaohe stronghold, just hand it over to our second company." However, I think we can defeat the Xiaohe stronghold, and then wait for the opportunity to eat a group of enemies who come to reinforce, I took a closer look, once the devil learns that the Xiaohe stronghold is attacked, the biggest possibility is to send reinforcements from the Mingshi stronghold and the Huangjia stronghold first, and the number of enemies in these two strongholds is not large, the devil's ironclad patrol car, stationed in the Longyuan stronghold twenty kilometers away from the Xiaohe stronghold, it takes twenty minutes to reach the Xiaohe stronghold, however, we can cut off the railway, so that the devil's ironclad patrol car can not pass, so, The enemy would have to pass on foot. ”

Liu Tianshu was very happy to see that the two company commanders under him were actively using their brains, and he waited until everyone had expressed their opinions, and then said: "Everyone is clear about the situation in Xiaohe's stronghold, and the two company commanders are right. In this battle, we must not fight hard, and second, we will try to maximize the results of the battle. I carefully calculated, there are only more than 20 devils in the Xiaohe stronghold, and to deal with this little devil, we can first kill the devil patrol in this position, and then disguise ourselves as the devil patrol, try to get close to the stronghold, and then take the Xiaohe stronghold. At the same time, send troops to blow up the rocks, and then block the enemy reinforcements from the Mingshi stronghold and the devil's ironclad patrol car at this position, and at the same time, blow up the Xiaohe Bridge, cut off the railroad and block the enemy reinforcements from the Huangjia stronghold. After the Huang family stronghold sent troops to reinforce the Xiaohe stronghold, he took advantage of the empty strength of the Huang family stronghold to take the Huang family stronghold. ”

Hearing that Liu Tianshu wanted to eliminate the two strongholds of the devil by the railway in one go, all the cadres above the company level showed surprise on their faces.

"Comrades, if we want to fight, we must beat the devils, the specific arrangement is like this, a company of three platoons is responsible for blowing up the Xiaohe Bridge and blocking the reinforcements of the enemy in the direction of the Huang family's stronghold. The second platoon and the first reconnaissance squad were responsible for taking the Xiaohe stronghold, the first platoon was responsible for blowing up rocks and blocking the enemy reinforcements from the Mingshi stronghold, and the second company was responsible for taking the Huangjia stronghold. Tomorrow morning, the cadres of each company will reconnoiter the terrain and start the operation at 9 o'clock tomorrow night. After the second company took the stronghold of the Huang family, it quickly went west to reinforce the enemy in Xiaohe. In addition, the units must cut the enemy's telephone lines before the battle begins. I moved with the Second Company. Liu Tianshu finished speaking in one breath about the combat deployment.

In the evening of the same day, the second reconnaissance squad sneaked to the side of the railway to observe the enemy patrol and the passing of the train again, and the next morning, the two company commanders and the platoon commanders went to the side of the railway to observe the terrain in person.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the independent battalion left Qinggangping and quietly arrived on the north side of the railway in the Xiaohe stronghold. Yang Donghu's first company and three platoons, in accordance with the battle plan, rushed to their own positions and prepared for battle, while the second company was ambushed in the mountains and forests opposite the Huangjia stronghold.

At 8:50 a.m., the soldiers of the second reconnaissance squad, who were ready, quietly climbed onto the side of the railway and the telephone pole, and cut all the telephone lines on them.

At 8:55 a.m., the patrol sent by the Xiaohe stronghold arrived at a corner in the west as promised, and Hao Mengxuan saw the devil walking along the railway, scanning around with a flashlight, and swaggering. He immediately made a gesture to the warrior to prepare to move.

When the eight devils walked in front of the reconnaissance squad soldiers who were ambushed on the side of the road, the soldiers suddenly jumped up from their hiding places and pounced on their respective targets, covering their mouths and cutting their throats at the same time.

The fighters of the reconnaissance squad immediately pulled the devils aside, took off their clothes and changed them, and then took the devil's 38 big cover, turned around and walked towards the Xiaohe stronghold.

Hao Mengxuan, who was walking in front, couldn't stop shaking the flashlight, and when he arrived at the stronghold, the flashlight in his hand shone on the two devils by the door intentionally or unintentionally, and the two devils didn't care at all, but asked a few jokingly questions, and they were all dealt with by Hao Mengxuan.

The short conversation was only a minute, Hao Mengxuan took a reconnaissance team, and approached the turret, the devil standing guard, only then did he faintly find that the situation was a little wrong, but unfortunately it was too late.

Hao Mengxuan saw the suspicion in the devil's eyes, and knew that he was suspicious, so he immediately approached, and before the devil could make a warning, a sharp dagger had pierced the devil's heart.

At the same time as Hao Mengxuan made a move, another soldier also neatly killed another devil, and then everyone rushed into the turret.

There were only two devils at the bottom of the turret who were cleaning up pots and bowls, and when they heard the footsteps, one of the devils asked without looking back, "Fujita-kun, did you see the flower girl?" ”

Who knew but didn't hear the answer, he couldn't help but raise his head, and at this moment, a snowy knife flashed, and a strange face stared at him coldly, this scene became the eternal freeze frame of his life.

Another devil was stabbed into the **** by a soldier from the reconnaissance squad, and after struggling for a while, his body fell to the ground as soon as he became weak.

While killing the two devils on the ground floor, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad quickly rushed to the second floor, but their actions were finally detected by the devils guarding the second floor, and fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on the second floor.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, three platoons of explosives immediately ignited, and the small river railway bridge exploded violently, turning into two pieces and falling into the stream. At the same time, the rocks next to the railway in the west were directly blown down by a row, and the huge rocks rolled down on the railway, blocking the railway tightly in a blink of an eye.

The sudden explosion and gunfire naturally alarmed the devils in the Huang family stronghold and the Mingshi stronghold, but their phone call to the Xiaohe stronghold could not be connected, and the devils who defended the two strongholds immediately knew that there was something wrong with the Xiaohe stronghold.

So the devil commanders of the two strongholds immediately reported to the above, and at the same time sent troops to the Xiaohe stronghold.

Shi Hu, who was guarding opposite the Xiaohe stronghold, heard the sound of gunfire in the turret, and immediately pulled the trigger and knocked down a devil guarding the top of the turret, and the other devil was so frightened that he lay on his stomach, and then shot indiscriminately outside.

It's a pity that he faced Shi Hu, who had the best marksmanship in the reconnaissance platoon. Since Shi Hu joined the Eighth Route Army, his shooting skills have been instructed by Liu Tianshu, and he is extremely accurate, he quietly moved the muzzle of the gun to the top of the turret, aiming at the place where the devil might show his head.

After a while, the devil finally accidentally showed his head, Shi Hu shot it, and a cloud of blood mist rose from the devil's head, and his whole body flew backwards.

After killing the two devils on the top of the turret, Shi Hu aimed his gun at the turret and the third floor.

By this time, a company and two platoons had begun to rush towards the Xiaohe stronghold.

The enemy in the Xiaohe stronghold did not resist for long, and was rushed to the third floor by the reconnaissance team.

At this time, the devil only cared about the fierce exchange of fire with the reconnaissance squad, and could no longer care about the second platoon that rushed up.

Rao was like this, and when the second platoon of the first company rushed into the turret, the reconnaissance squad had already killed all the enemies in the Xiaohe stronghold, but two soldiers in the reconnaissance squad unfortunately died.

Wang Ke, the commander of the second platoon of the first company, rushed into the turret with the soldiers, and saw that the enemy had all been killed by the reconnaissance squad, and preached to Hao Meng with regret: "Squad leader Hao, you eat meat, why do you even drink all the soup?" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Platoon Commander Wang, the battalion commander said that he wanted to fight quickly, let the brothers in the second platoon step up to clean up the battlefield, and then retreat quickly." Hao Mengxuan said honestly.

Without the light of the turret, a platoon would not withdraw from the blocking position, so stepping up to clean up the battlefield and then withdrawing is their first priority at present.

Seeing this, Wang Kezheng immediately ordered the second platoon to quickly move out all the useful things in the turret, and then poured a barrel of gasoline on the debris in the turret, and at the same time placed several grenades at the key position of the turret, and then withdrew from the turret with the troops.

The turret was ignited, and soon the flames soared into the sky, and Yang Donghu, who was directing a platoon to block the reinforcements from the famous stone, saw the fire behind him illuminating the sky, and immediately shouted happily: "Comrades, the second platoon has succeeded, let's withdraw." ”

As he spoke, he commanded the soldiers to fight and retreat, and soon disappeared into the night.

A row of blocking positions, is the mountain next to the blown up rock, after the rock was collapsed, all of a sudden blocked the railway, more than a dozen enemies from the famous stone reinforcements, found that there were people in front of the blockade, for a while did not know the reality of the other party, can only shoot at a row from afar, after a while, the devil's ironclad patrol car arrived, but unfortunately the railway was blocked by the rock, the ironclad car could not advance, can only use the machine gun and artillery fire on the car, towards the opposite side of the continuous bombardment, in order to cover the infantry rushed over.

In the round of blocking battle just now, a company and a platoon suffered eight casualties in a blink of an eye, and five of them died unfortunately.

Now that Xiaohe's stronghold has been successful, Yang Donghu will naturally not fight the devil again. (To be continued.) )
