The battle to regain Pingyuan Town began at ten o'clock in the evening.

Hao Mengxuan has been following Liu Tianshu for a year, and naturally has learned a lot of methods of fighting, and he knows that if he wants to destroy the strong fortifications of the devil, in addition to using the infantry guns of the artillery company to bombard, he is more optimistic about the special ****** invented by the regiment commander.

This kind of restructured ****** is simply a sharp weapon for tackling tough problems. Mounted on a crossbow, it can easily shoot a hundred meters, shatter and ignite, and the burning flames cannot be extinguished at all, only when the gasoline is burned out.

When he was in the reconnaissance platoon, he followed Liu Tianshu to make this kind of ******, and at this time, he naturally made more than fifty of them, and also made five crossbows.

He had discussed with instructor Hua Xiaohu and deputy regiment commander Zhan Shulong that after completing this combat mission, they would set up their own reconnaissance platoon in their second battalion.

Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng came to the outside of Pingyuan Town, looked at Pingyuan Town, which flashed with lights from time to time, and the devil's turret that flashed from time to time, looked at Hao Mengxuan and Hua Xiaohu on the side and asked, "Mengxuan, Xiaohu, how are you prepared?" ”

"Report to the head of the regiment and the political commissar, we are ready, just wait for an order, we promise to take Pingyuan Town." Hao Mengxuan and Hua Xiaohu said with confidence.

"Tell me about your preparations." Liu Tianshu doesn't believe in other people's big words, what he wants to listen to must be real things.

When Hao Mengxuan heard this, he immediately reported their arrangements to Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng.

According to Hao Mengxuan's arrangement, the 5th Company was responsible for the main attack, first taking the hill east of the town, the 4th and 6th companies surrounded the town to carry out a feint, the 92nd infantry artillery of the artillery company cooperated with the 5th company, and the mortar platoon cooperated with the 4th and 6th companies.

To the east of Pingyuan Town, there is a hill with an altitude of more than 600 meters, on which the devils have built strong fortifications, and if they capture this mountain, they can attack any direction of the town from a high position.

On the contrary, if the fourth and sixth companies attacking the rest of the mountain are not taken before they take this mountain, they will be hit by the devils on this mountain.

"Meng Xuan, according to the information obtained, the devil has a squad stationed on this mountain, and there is also a company of the Imperial Army, and more importantly, there are two turrets on this hill alone, as for the fortifications such as the dark fort, I don't know how many. How are you going to solve this? Liu Tianshu asked uneasily.

"The regiment commander, a platoon commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army guarding the mountain, has a cousin who happened to be in our second battalion, and when he went home to visit relatives some time ago, he revealed the idea of wanting to participate in the Eighth Road. I sent someone to contact him, and he provided us with a map of the devil's defense on the mountain, and promised that when the battle began, he would cooperate with us to meet the outside and take the mountain. Look, this is the devil's defense map he provided. As he spoke, Du Hao Mengxuan took out a sketch.

However, when he handed it to Liu Tianshu, he saw that Liu Tianshu's face seemed to be a little blue, and he was a little afraid in his heart.

Fortunately, Liu Tianshu didn't say much, but took the sketch, went to the side and looked at it with the light of the flashlight, and found that the mark on it was very clear, it should not be fake, and it also indicated the position of the platoon commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

After handing the sketch to Liao Zhifeng for a while, Liu Tianshu handed it to Hao Mengxuan and glared at him fiercely, Rao was in the dark night, which also made Hao Mengxuan's body tremble.

"Okay, just follow your deployment, launch an attack in ten minutes, pay attention, let the artillery fire, pay attention to avoid the positions of those Imperial Allied troops." Knowing that Hao Dumengxuan not only got the devil's fortification map, but also prepared a special ****** and five crossbows, Liu Tianshu was relieved.

However, Liao Zhifeng was worried in his heart, looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Regiment Commander, there is a squadron of devils in Pingyuan Town alone, plus the Imperial Cooperative Army, almost five hundred people, can the second battalion eat it?" ”

"Political commissar, you just have to rest assured, although there are four or five hundred enemies, there are only one hundred and eighty devils among them, and of these one hundred and eighty people, there is a squad guarding Dongshan, a squad guarding other directions, and a squad staying in the town as a reserve. As for the Imperial Army, it is okay to follow the devils to bully and bully the common people, if you really want to talk about war, they are not old. As long as Hao Mengxuan takes Dongshan down, the rest will be easy to do. Liu Tianshu is full of confidence in Hao Mengxuan.

This kid has been following him for a year, and if he can't even clean up this little bit of devil, he doesn't have to be the battalion commander.

This time, he insisted on promoting Hao Mengxuan to battalion commander, Zhu Aiguo and Liao Zhifeng actually had different views, but seeing that Liu Tianshu was very persistent, he agreed.

Ten minutes later, with Hao Meng's order, under the command of Shu Zhi, two 92 infantry guns, according to the parameters set in advance, began to fire at the fortifications of the devils on the mountain, and a dull whistling sound sounded in the night sky, and then a fire rose on the hill east of Pingyuan Town, and the battle of the Second Regiment's recovery of Pingyuan Town began.

Hearing the roar of the infantry artillery, the fourth and fifth companies immediately launched an attack on the town, and the mortars fired at the devil's turret and fortifications in front, but the mortar hit the turret, the effect was not very good, but the psychological deterrence caused to the devil was indescribable.

It was found that not only the mortars were attacking him, but also the Empire-made infantry guns were firing at him, and even a fool knew that the main force of the Independent Regiment had arrived.

Yamada, the leader of the devil squadron defending Pingyuan Town, grabbed the phone and called to Chengou, but unfortunately the phone was busy, and he immediately knew that the telephone line must have been cut off by the Eighth Route Army, so he had to order the Japanese army in Dongshan to hold it, and at the same time use the radio to ask for reinforcements in the direction of Chengou.

After the 92 infantry artillery fired, the devil turret guarding the hill immediately fired desperately outside, and at the same time, the devils in the devil's dark fort also ordered those puppet soldiers to shoot into the dark night outside.

It's a pity that at this time, although Chu Siyang's Fifth Company didn't really launch a charge except for shouting loudly and making a charge.

After seeing the fireworks of the devil's machine gun exposing the location of the turret and the bunker, Hao Mengxuan carefully checked the sketch and found that it was exactly the same as the mark on the sketch, and immediately ordered the temporary special team to prepare.

With his launch, the five team members immediately pulled the board machine, and with a soft sound, the special ****** cut through the night sky and quietly flew towards a turret blocking the front.

In the blink of an eye, the special ****** burst on the outer wall of the turret, gasoline trickled down the wall, and blue flames rose abruptly.

Then several special ****** smashed on the outer wall of the turret, and the flames grew larger and larger, and began to extend along the flowing gasoline towards the firing port.

The Devil Heavy who was desperately shooting inside noticed a flame rushing towards him, immediately screamed, and then jumped to the side.

At this moment, a ****** flew into the turret through the hole of the firing hole, and immediately ignited a fire in the turret.

The enemy guarding the turret was frightened, and a few of them picked up things and tried desperately to put out the fire, but unfortunately the fire could not be extinguished no matter how it was fought, but instead ignited the things inside, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

The devil in the turret was made by this, and the firepower of its outward shooting immediately weakened, and a soldier holding an explosive bag in the fifth company immediately rushed out of the fortification under Chu Siyang's loud shout, and then rushed towards the front with agility, and the three crooked handles of the fifth company immediately fired continuously at the turret to provide fire cover for this soldier.

The soldier finally rushed to the bottom of the turret, immediately put the explosive bag away, pulled the fuse suddenly, and then jumped backwards and rolled away.

A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the devil's turret cracked, and then collapsed, and more than a dozen devils and more than twenty puppet soldiers inside were immediately buried in the ruins.

The first turret was blown up, and the dark fort behind immediately appeared in front of the fifth company, Shu Zhi saw that the devil's dark fort kept spitting out tongues of fire, blocking the fifth company and a platoon that rushed to the ruins, and immediately commanded the 92 infantry guns to bombard the dark fort.

The devil's hidden fort was not firmly repaired, and under the bombardment of the 92 infantry artillery, it was extinguished with the explosion in a blink of an eye.

With the fire support of the artillery, the platoon advanced very quickly, and whenever it encountered a bunker, artillery shells immediately flew in, and it was solved by dividing five by two.

Liao Zhifeng didn't expect the independent regiment's infantry and artillery coordination to be so skillful, and it was no wonder that Liu Tianshu dared to use the strength of a battalion to uproot the stronghold guarded by a squadron of devils.

When the leader of the devil squadron learned that the turret in the Dongshan position was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and that the Eighth Route Army had strong firepower, he was already panicked in his heart, and urgently ordered the remaining squad to reinforce Dongshan quickly, and at the same time drove all the puppet troops in the town out to reinforce the remaining directions.

After fighting for less than an hour, the cooperation between the fifth company and the artillery company became more and more coordinated, and at the same time, the special team temporarily formed by Hao Mengxuan also used the special ****** to the extreme, as long as the firepower of the devil in front was exposed, either the shells flew away, or a special shot ****** past, making it like daylight, and then the soldiers of the fifth company concentrated their firepower and beat them wildly.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had captured two-thirds of the Dongshan position and was about to reach the position he was defending, the platoon commander surnamed Zhang looked at his brother and said excitedly: "Brothers, the Eighth Route Army has already fought, and everyone has seen that the little devil is not the opponent of the Eighth Route Army at all. These little devils don't treat us as human beings at all, they want to follow me to participate in the Eight Roads, and we will be brothers in the future, and if anyone doesn't want to go with me, I won't force it. ”

The more than twenty brothers had a gleam in their eyes, and said in a low voice: "Platoon commander, we listen to you, and we will cast eight ways." ”

"Okay, brothers, I'll listen to me later, kill the little devil." Platoon Commander Zhang said hatefully, carrying a shell gun, and quietly groped along the traffic trench towards a dark bunker.

This bunker is the headquarters of the Japanese squad leader defending the Dongshan position, because the artillery tower in front of him was blown up, and most of the position was lost, the devil squad leader drove all the soldiers around him out to fight, leaving only three communication soldiers.
