A bright red blue sky and white sun flag fluttered on the south bank, and the shouts of the soldiers resounded throughout the village, and the devils showed their hideous faces behind the makeshift bunkers, shining particularly terrifyingly under the light of the heavy machine gun spray. ＝＝＝＝＝＝

Chang Guangfa shouted: "Throw a grenade!" A platoon of soldiers waved their arms and grenades rained down on the two makeshift bunkers on the north bank, which immediately collapsed.

The soldiers of the 1st battalion shouted: "Kill all the devils!" "Golgoth was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable with a spear in his hand; Machete; The sappers and shovels beckoned to the devils and started hand-to-hand combat on the streets.

Huang Junjie saw it in his eyes and exclaimed excitedly: "Okay! All join me across the river and join the fight. ”

"Yes!" All the officers on the side shouted.

Shen Shaofan; Duan Louyun's reconnaissance battalion snatched the No. 4 warehouse, which had been quiet at this time, after two hours of defense and street fighting, the Imperial Alliance Army around it; Devil; The night raiders were almost wiped out and were consolidating their defenses as a concentration of wounded. The two radio stations were working non-stop to get in touch with the regiment headquarters, and Shaofan drew a red circle and blue line on the map by the morning light.

At this time, the cavalry company had already gone around a few circles in the village, and the aftermath of the killing was still unfinished, and rode all the way to the No. 4 warehouse, Morakot dragged over, dismounted, swaggered into Shaofan's temporary headquarters, saluted Shaofan, and said: "The commander of the cavalry company, Morakot, dragged me to report!" ”

Shaofan looked at Morakot and smiled: "Morakot dragged it!" I want your cavalry company to immediately rush to Xifengang in the northwest of Caojiazhuang and set up an ambush to prevent the cavalry of the Xia County devils from passing through there to support Caojiazhuang. ”

Morakot looked at the map and knew that this matter was not to be neglected, and there was nothing more, just "um", and then saluted Shaofan and left.

Not long after Morakot was dragged away, the telegraph said, "Report the group! The commander of the guard has an order for us to take Caojiazhuang at all costs and hold it while the large army rushes to help. ”

Shaofan followed this order, and when the monk of Zhanger couldn't touch his head, another telegraph also said: "Tuanza! Chief of Staff telegram! ”

Shaofan immediately took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, he put it aside, knowing that this report was not good news, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Shaofan said: "It seems! We've stabbed a hornet's nest this time. He handed the telegram sent by Sun Zhiyu to Tianfang.

Blocking the sky and gasping when he saw it, he also gasped and said: "The devil's battle is enough, and it can be regarded as giving us enough face." Not only Yuncheng; Xia County; Wenxi sent troops to support Caojiazhuang and even Linyi; Yongji; Vain Vieng; Jishan sent troops to support even Houma; Quwo; Xiangfen also sent troops to transfer vehicles to Yuncheng, and Linfen, the farthest company, sent troops to Yuncheng by railway. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled coldly and said: "I originally wanted to avenge the father and fellow villagers of Sijiao, but I didn't expect it to cause a big battle." Immediately telegraphed Sun Zhiyu to have full command of the National Youth League's troops, and to deploy troops to cooperate with the blocking battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater. ”

Blocking the sky thought for a while and said, "Shaofan! Do you think that the commander of the guard will do his best to stop the supporting Japanese troops? ”

"That's right! Although I still haven't figured out why the top brass of our army and the Japanese army are so nervous about Caojiazhuang, since Chief Wei must have a purpose in ordering the capture of Caojiazhuang, then he will not let the devil destroy the plan and purpose in his heart. Shen Shaofan said while looking at the map.

At this time, Lei Fei ran in and said, "Report!" All the messengers sent out have returned. ”

"What about the rest of the troops?" Shaofan hurriedly asked.

Lei Fei said: "As soon as the troops entered Caojiazhuang, they were dispersed, and now three main battlefields and multiple street fighting battlefields have been formed. The three main battlefields are all in the Cao Gongwang Temple north of the Caojia River; Archway set and twenty-eight watchtowers. ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the map of Caojiazhuang with fast eyes and said: "It is all centered on the warehouse of the poor third son, and it seems that the devil is desperately protecting the things in the warehouse." ”

Shen Shaofan thought for a moment and said, "Who is in command of the battle in those three places?" ”

"Cao Gongwang Temple has 1 battalion commander; The archway set has a rich company commander; Twenty-eight watchtowers have Wang Xin's deputy battalion commander. Lei Fei said.

"It seems that the devil has shrunk his forces on the north bank of the Caojia River and is waiting for reinforcements, and the war south of the Caojia River is almost over." ”

Shen Shaofan nodded in agreement and said, "Order!" The reconnaissance battalion was divided into three divisions to support the Cao Gong Wang Temple; Archway set and twenty-eight watchtowers. We must take Caojiazhuang as soon as possible, and occupy Caojiazhuang to consolidate the fortifications before the devil's reinforcements come. ”

"Did Shaofan ask Zhiyu to send reinforcements to us?" Blocking the sky suggested.

Shen Shaofan shook his head while scrolling up the map: "Since the command of the regiment headquarters has been handed over to him and he has made a decision, we still have to guard against the north oka Yoshino in front of the temple." No Feather is a measured man, and if he thinks he can send troops to support us, he will definitely send them. ”

This was the sound of the troops gathering in the waiting courtyard, and Shen Shaofan's headquarters was about to head north of the Caojia River, leaving a squad of soldiers in the warehouse to guard it.

Shen Shaofan put on a military green cloak and put on a Mauser T99 sniper rifle and said: "I will take the sniper company to the twenty-eight watchtowers, and you go to the archway; Lou Yun went to the temple of King Cao. If you want to get in touch, send a correspondent to pass it on. ”

"Good!" Blocking the sky put down his head, and at the same time carried the MP40 submachine gun, put on a steel helmet, and swaggered towards the door.

Duan Louyun was also a sniper, he also wore an army green tweed cloak, resisted the Mauser T98 sniper rifle, bowed his head towards Shaofan, and walked out of the house. The sniper infantry routinely equipped by the National Youth League are all German Mauser T98 sniper rifles, Shen Shaofan used the German Mauser T series of new guns, which were not all equipped with Germany at that time, and this gun was Shaofan's trophy, so Shaofan has been carrying this Mauser T99 sniper rifle to the battlefield, and after the National Youth League established a sniper company, Shaofan asked Chen Chen to order 00 Mauser T99 sniper rifles and distributed them to the sniper company. The National Youth League was also the unit with the most sniper rifles in the squadron at that time, and the National Youth League still maintained the record of the most snipers and sniper rifles during the Liberation War, which was maintained until after the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Shaofan didn't immediately walk out of the house, but sat down quietly and took a cigarette, at this time he was pondering, and the question was, why was the Japanese army so nervous, Caojiazhuang? Am I going to destroy the Japanese army in Shonai as soon as possible? Once the devil's reinforcements come, can you hold it in the face of strong troops?

Diaolou is also known as the walled house; widow's house; Zhenlie room is the place where the widow lives in Caojiazhuang, the man of the family dies, the widow will move into the watchtower, for the deceased father to keep a lifetime of chastity, but afraid of some womanizers and those widows who can not bear the loneliness of adultery, so the watchtower is built very high, the surface is very smooth, because there are more houses in the building, each room has a window, far away looks like a blockhouse, so it is called 'watchtower'. Caojiazhuang seems to have been sticking to the war, so there are many strong laborers who died on the battlefield or died on the battlefield in vain, so Caojiazhuang has always been called 'widow's village', a watchtower can not live down, build another one in turn, a total of twenty-eight, so there is called twenty-eight watchtowers. At this time, the watchtower really became a pillbox on the battlefield, and Shaofan quietly sneaked into the twenty-eight watchtower with a sniper company.

When Shen Shaofan came to the 28th watchtower with the sniper company, Wang Xinsuo had already occupied four watchtowers with the patchwork troops, but the devils set up a number of machine guns in the watchtowers behind to form a firepower network, and the soldiers attacked several times without success, and it was difficult to break through without artillery support.

Wang Xin was in a watchtower, looking at the twenty-four watchtowers standing in front of him, like a copper pass and iron pass, blocking them there, he was aggrieved in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Mom! I don't believe I can't take these twenty-four watchtowers. Ordered the troops to intensify their offensive and ...... with maximum fire"

Wang Xin was just halfway through his words when he heard a sentence from behind: "Tell all the troops to withdraw." Wang Xinyi heard what seemed to be Shaofan's voice, and his heart suddenly rejoiced, and when he looked back, it was really Shaofan with the sniper company commander Xue ** and Lei Fei.

"Tuanza!" Wang Xin hurriedly greeted him and said, "I'll rest assured if you come, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll take the team to rush again." ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the layout of one of the watchtowers and said, "It's also elegant here!" ”

Wang Xin saw that Shaofan seemed to be absent-minded about breaking through the blockade line, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said again: "Tuanza!" I immediately organized troops to break through the blockade fire network in front. ”

Shaofan smiled at this time: "Order all the troops to withdraw and attack, and hold on to the four watchtowers until night." ”

As soon as Wang Xin heard that Shaofan was going to take advantage of the night battle of the National Youth League to break through the devil's blockade of the firepower net in the watchtower group, he smiled and shouted: "Order the troops to stop attacking!" ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the watchtower opposite and asked Xue**: "**! How many devils do you think there are on the other side? ”

Xue ** looked at it and said, "Not good! But I don't think the devils will occupy all the watchtowers. ”

Shen Shaofan looked at ** with a smile and said, "It's the same as my opinion." Then he came to a table and waved a few teacups and said, "The devil must have placed superior forces and firepower in the towers in front of him." Shaofan pointed and said: "We used a part of our troops to contain the devils in front, and at night, we captured several watchtowers in front of us, controlled the devil's firepower network, and then trapped the devils firmly in the watchtowers." ”

Xue ** asked with a puzzle: "Tuanza!" Aren't we going to settle the battle as quickly as possible? Why do you want to trap the devil? ”

Shen Shaofan unfolded the map and pointed to the area of Zhongtiao Mountain and said: "The plan has changed!" If we have to cooperate with the large army to effectively fight the reinforcements of the devils, then we can't let the Mitani Wing and the Shimizu Wing finish the game quickly. Otherwise, the devil would not have sent reinforcements to Caojiazhuang, and ordered all the troops to divide and surround the devil in the village. ”

When Lei Fei heard this, he immediately sent messengers to various positions to give orders. At this time, a telegraph man handed over a telegram from the Pinglu Regiment Headquarters, Shaofan looked at it and smiled slightly and came to the telegraph and said to the telegraph: "Call back!" Reinforcements were ordered to go to Highway 6 in two groups, and Shimenyuan in two. ”

"Yes!"

Pinglu County National Youth League Headquarters, Sun Zhiyu has been nervous since he received the movement of the Yuncheng devil, looking at the sunset on the horizon and waiting for news from Caojiazhuang.

A female telegraph soldier came over and said, "Report to the Chief of Staff!" The group seat called back. ”

Sun Zhiyu was falling asleep in a chair, and when he heard Shaofan call back, he immediately took the telegram and swept it aside, saying to himself: "Could it be that Shaofan wants to use himself as bait?" ”

Zhang Wenshan hurriedly walked in from the outside at this time and said, "Zhiyu! What are Shaofan's instructions? ”

Sun Zhiyu handed the telegram to Zhang Wenshan and said, "Shaofan ordered us to divide the reinforcements into two groups, one to support Bailong on Highway 6, and the other to support Huang Huancheng in Shimenyuan. ”

When Zhang Wenshan heard this, he said: "Highway 6 and Shimenyuan are the choke points. Could it be that Shaofan wants us to ambush the devil's reinforcements there. ”

"Not bad! Siege and reinforcement! Sun Zhiyu said: "The situation has changed now. Shaofan originally just did a raid, but he didn't expect to make a big deal. The entire Zhongtiao Mountain was brought in by Shaofan. Feather said as he looked at the map on the wall.

Zhang Wenshan thought for a while and said: "Shaofan only has three battalions of troops in Caojiazhuang, can they afford to face the Japanese army in the entire Yuncheng?" ”

Sun Zhiyu also bowed his head thoughtfully and said, "1 battalion; The battalion is still two relatively young teams, and most of the soldiers are still enlisted when we arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain. I'm really worried about Shaofan and them! ”

"In addition, our team's 'Drift' hasn't found us yet, but we don't have any secrets about the devils?" Zhang Wenshan lowered his eyes and said, "Shall we transfer some troops to Caojiazhuang to support Shaofan and them?" ”

Sun Zhiyu sighed and looked at the big map and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to draw any troops." ”

As soon as Sun Zhiyu's words fell, Zhou Sai, the company commander of the reconnaissance battalion technical reconnaissance company, walked in and said, "Chief of Staff! According to the report of the soldiers who went out to investigate, Kitaoka Yoshino mobilized a large number of troops and entered the temple, and it seemed that he was going to take military action against our army's Zhangdian position. ”

Sun Zhiyu smiled slightly, waved his hand at Zhang Wenshan and said, "You see it's not all here." ”

Zhang Wenshan also smiled and said: "Kitaoka Yoshino wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal chickens, but he didn't expect that we would be prepared in advance." ”

Sun Zhiyu said: "Order Leng Bing, the deputy captain of the teaching column who has just entered the Zhangdian position, to hold the position at all costs. Tell him that we are fighting on two fronts now, and there are no extra troops to prepare, and call him the word 'defend'. He looked at the map and said: "Order Sima Feng, deputy captain of the pre-cadre column, and Su Li, the independent column, to pay close attention to the situation on their positions, and not to deploy troops without my orders." ”

"Report! The Commander's Department ordered the current supreme commander of our regiment to go to the headquarters for an emergency meeting. "A correspondent ran in to report.

Sun Zhiyu smiled, winked at Wenshan and Zhou Sai, and said, "It seems that the war zone is unbearable." ”

Zhang Wenshan knew in his heart that the most difficult thing in front of them now was not how to support Shaofan, but how to defend Zhangdian, after all, Zhangdian was the key pass of Pinglu County, and it was also the core of the two defense lines, and the key to solving the Zhang defense line and Zhang Qi's defense line. Thinking of this, he seemed to be a little unrelieved about Zhangdian's position, so he said: "Zhiyu! I think I'd better go to Zhangdian to sit in the town! ”

Sun Zhiyu couldn't help it, and hurriedly ran towards the door of the regiment headquarters with his belt and hat. At this time, the National Youth League will defend the battalion on the line; The two most combat-effective combat battalions of the 4th Battalion took the risk of transferring away from the defense line to support Highway 6 and Shimenyuan, and later the 4th Battalion supporting Shimenyuan turned halfway to Caojiazhuang, because Zheng Hu encountered the main force of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army on the road and went straight to Shimenyuan, so he temporarily rerouted to support Shen Shaofan.

The joint position of the National Youth League and the Independent Column on the side of Highway 6 has just experienced a desperate battle, and the soldiers are cleaning the battlefield on the road. The instructor of the 1st detachment of the independent column came to Bai Long and said, "Battalion Commander Bai, then we will go first." ”
