Two hours later, Xie Pingcai and Jiang Xianhua arrived at Liu Tianshu's headquarters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Detachment leader, this is the siege plan we have formulated." As he spoke, Xie Ping handed over the battle plan.

Liu Tianshu took it and motioned for the two of them to sit down, and after looking at it himself, he looked at Xie Ping before saying, "Commander Xie, what kind of considerations did you set the time for launching the attack at four o'clock in the morning?" ”

In the battle plan, Xie Pingcai was ready to concentrate the forces of the two battalions, and with the fire support of the detachment's artillery, launch an attack on Ningyuan City from the east and west gates at the same time, and the time of the attack was determined at four o'clock in the morning.

"Detachment leader, I think so, Matsui must be worried that we will attack tonight, so he will definitely be on guard, the enemy is nervously guarding the city wall, he must be very tired if he doesn't fit his eyes all night, and four o'clock in the morning should be the time when the devil is the most sleepy and lax, and if he launches an attack at this time, he will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard. In addition, according to the reports of the people of the reconnaissance brigade, there was no sign of reinforcements from the enemy in Huainan and Bengbu. We can let go and attack Ningyuan City. Xie Pingcai explained calmly.

"Comrade Jiang Xianhua, what do you think?" Liu Tianshu glanced at Jiang Xianhua, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, who was sitting on the side. Although Jiang Xianhua is a political cadre, he also has a certain ability to command troops to fight. Besides, the political work cadres and military cadres in the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have never been very clearly distinguished, and at some point, the political work cadres will become military cadres.

"I also agree with Commander Xie's battle plan, at four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, there is a use of our army to approach the city gate, only we capture the city gate within an hour, it is dawn at that time, the next battle is easy to fight, and even if the devil's plane wants to come to reinforce, it will have to be two hours after dawn. If it goes well, we will occupy the county seat of Ningyuan at this time. Jiang Xianhua said in a slow tone.

"Okay, just let go and fight according to your plan, remember, the action must be fast, the devils are not allowed to enter and exit, and the people we stay in the city will not need it for the time being, everything can only rely on you. This battle is also a test of our ability to attack the city. I'll go to your regimental headquarters to watch it then. Liu Tianshu thought about it and agreed to their plan.

Anyway, the devil's reinforcements will not come, and it is a sure thing to capture Ningyuan County.

After all, Matsui's troops in the city, including the puppet army, are less than 800 people, and they still have to defend such a large county town.

Subsequently, Liu Tianshu rushed to the regimental headquarters of the Second Regiment located outside the east gate of Ningyuan City, and Su Lan, as the director of the Political Department, also came to watch the battle.

At four o'clock in the morning, the stars in the sky were also drowsy, the devils guarding the city wall were nervous for the past few days, and they were already exhausted, and those puppet soldiers who cooperated with the defense of the city were so tired that they couldn't even open their eyes, and leaned on the city wall and fell asleep directly.

At this moment, the New Fourth Army, which had already used the excavated communication trenches to approach the city gate, was squatting in the trenches for the final inspection, the heavy machine guns responsible for fire cover quietly showed their hideous faces, and the mortar Ninth Infantry Gun was also ready to fire.

As a signal flare rose into the air, the earth-shattering shouts of killing immediately sounded under the city of Ningyuan, and at the same time, the shells rushed towards the city wall, and the mortar gunners of the detachment had been greatly improved after many combat exercises, and most of the shells fired at this time fell on the city wall, blowing up a ball of fire, blowing up the devils and puppet soldiers in the vicinity one by one.

The infantry artillery of the infantry artillery company was concentrated in the east and west gates, and continued to bombard towards the city gates, and five minutes later, the west gate was directly collapsed, and the city gate building collapsed in an uproar.

Behind them, light and heavy machine guns rained bullets on the ruined city walls, crushing the devils and puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to survive on the walls.

In the blink of an eye, the company rushed to the city gate and rushed into the city quickly in the smoke of gunpowder.

After entering the city, two platoons quickly rushed to the walls on both sides, and the other platoon thrust into the city like a sharp knife.

Ling Yixuan, the commander of the second battalion, saw the first company rushing into the city, and immediately excitedly ordered the second company to follow quickly.

Matsui sat in the headquarters with a haggard face, and when he learned that the West Gate had been broken through by the New Fourth Army, he suddenly looked dead.

Two days ago, the South Gate was directly collapsed by the artillery fire of the New Fourth Army, and at the same time, the New Fourth Army dug a net-like communication trench outside the South Gate, and he thought that the focus of the New Fourth Army's attack would definitely be at the South Gate, so he put two full squads at the South Gate to defend, and at the same time built countless fortifications in the South Gate, even the few artillery in his hand was also transferred to block the attack from the South Gate.

But who knew that the New Fourth Army suddenly placed the main attack direction at the east gate and the west gate, and the defensive forces in these two directions were really thin, except for a small group of Japanese troops, there were only dozens of puppet troops.

Now that the west gate has been breached, and the New Fourth Army has rushed into the city, the troops that they have placed at the south gate will soon fall into the embarrassment of being flanked in front and back.

It's a pity that at this time, he was no longer able to draw troops from the south gate.

After gritting his teeth, Matsui quickly transferred the last team in his hand to the west gate.

After the second battalion entered the city, a company quickly rushed to the city wall and started a fierce battle with the remnants of the Japanese puppet army guarding the city wall. Seeing that the New Fourth Army was rushing over, he naturally obediently raised his hands and surrendered.

The remnants of the Japanese army held out for less than ten minutes before being wiped out by the 1st Company, after which the 1st and 2nd Companies began to advance along the city walls in both north and south directions, and the 3rd Company also began to advance into the city after quickly entering the city.

As soon as the third company advanced less than 200 meters into the city, it ran into the squad sent by Matsui for reinforcements, and the two sides fought in the street, and the soldiers of both sides who rushed in front fell one after another in the confrontation, and then, the soldiers of the two sides who killed the red eyes actually collided together, and after running out of bullets in the guns, they carried the infantry with bayonets, and began a bloody white-knuckle battle.

In the seventh detachment, although white-knuckle combat is avoided as much as possible in battle, the fighters' bayonet fighting skills are a compulsory lesson, and in bayonet fighting, group cooperation is repeatedly emphasized, that is, all bayonets must be fought in a group of three.

In ordinary training, in addition to repeatedly practicing the tactical movements of fighting bayonets, the fighters also have to practice various roles in the group, so as not to form a new combat group with the rest of the fighters at any time after the sacrifice of their own group members in battle.

As for the squad and platoon leader, in addition to being equipped with a long gun, he is also equipped with a short gun, the main function of this short gun is that once he fights with the devil with a bayonet, he can use the short gun to quickly destroy the enemy and help his comrades.

When the devil saw the New Fourth Army rushing forward without flinching, a cruel smile immediately appeared on his face.

In their opinion, the New Fourth Army wanted to fight with the imperial army for bayonets this time, and they didn't know how to write the dead word.

But who knew that the two sides were on each other, and the devil found that the New Fourth Army's stabbing method was a little strange, they always stepped forward, and the gun in their hands forcefully pushed away their own fierce stab, while the other soldier took advantage of his strength to be too old, and stabbed him in the waist. The other warrior, on the other hand, stared warily in the other direction.

The close cooperation of the three warriors made the murderous devil feel at a loss.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of a shell gun, but it was someone in the New Fourth Army on the opposite side who handed the rifle to his left hand, raised the shell gun with his right hand, and fired frequently at the soldiers who were preparing to stab.

With the cooperation of the three-person team of the New Fourth Army and the short gun, the devil was beaten back by the New Fourth Army, and when he withdrew thirty meters, the leader of the devil squad found that there were no more than ten soldiers standing beside him.

The proud white-knuckle battle was defeated in the hands of the New Fourth Army, where was the leader of the devil squad willing, roared and waved the command knife and rushed towards a soldier without his life, who knew that he was hit by two bullets as soon as he ran two steps.

As he fell, the machine gunners of the New Fourth Army on the opposite side had finished reloading, and as the light machine guns rang out, the remaining Imperial soldiers fell down screaming.

Seeing that the devils in front of him were eliminated, the commander of the third company shouted with pride and rushed forward with his troops.

In less than ten minutes after the west gate was broken through, the east gate was also broken through by the third battalion, and the two battalions of the second regiment entered the city, which made the devils and puppet troops guarding the south gate and the north gate even more panicked. A puppet soldier at the north gate glanced at the Japanese squad leader who was directing the machine gunners to shoot desperately on the city wall, infinite hatred flashed in his eyes, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he quietly retreated to the dark corner behind him, and after hiding his figure, he glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention, slowly raised the muzzle, aimed at the Japanese squad leader who was wielding the command knife, took a deep breath, and suddenly pulled the board machine, the Japanese squadron leader only felt that the **** had been hit hard, and his body couldn't help but stagnate, and he looked down, in the dim firelight, Yin Hong's blood continued to flow from a hole, and then his body went limp, and he slowly fell on the city wall.

Seeing that the squad leader was killed, the devil machine gunner had red eyes and kept shooting outside with his gun.

When the puppet army saw the Japanese squadron leader fall, a sense of revenge came to his heart, and at this moment, a shell from outside the city exploded at the location of the devil's machine gun bunker, and several devils flew out with the shattered machine gun.

Knocked out the machine gun fire on the city wall, the puppet army guarding the city wall was even more frightened, and a puppet army looked at the deputy company commander: "Deputy Li Lian, the New Fourth Army is about to enter the city, the Japanese can't stand it, let's find a way." ”

Deputy Li Lian glanced at the Japanese who were desperately resisting, and when he saw the fierce eyes of a Japanese soldier sweeping over, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "Fight, don't let the Japanese see it." ”

At this time, the puppet soldier who killed the Japanese squad leader with one shot slowly leaned over and whispered to Deputy Li Lian: "Deputy Lian, the Japanese are finished, we will simply kill them, and it can be regarded as revenge for Company Commander Zhu." (To be continued.) )
