Li Junyi walked to Niuhang Station was difficult enough, due to the destruction of Lehua Station, Li Junyi had to get off at Lehua, walked forward, rushed to Jiaoqiao that night, and arrived at the front line of Niuhang the next day. The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Sun army on the front line.

Zheng Junyan adjusted the deployment and decided to put Li Junyi's troops in charge of the frontal attack, Liang Hongen and Yang Genghe in charge of the east, and Peng Dequan in charge of the west, and the main attack point was the junction of the 1st and 3rd regiments, first cutting the connection between the Niuhang station and the small hill.

In the afternoon, the deployment was adjusted in place, and Zheng Junyan began to attack.

The attack was fierce from the beginning, and Peng Dequan pressed Xue Yue with heavy troops; Li Junyi attacked the four companies on the front with one battalion, and one regiment attacked the five companies on the left flank; On the eastern battlefield, Liang Yang each sent out a battalion and took turns attacking Liu Jing's three battalions.

Peng, Li, Liang, Yang, the four brigade commanders each led the guards to supervise the battle in the rear, more than 100 big men, shirtless, holding a ghost head big knife standing behind the formation, there were more than ten big drums lined up in front of the position, and more than 20 big men, holding drums and hammers standing in front of the big drums.

"Fire!" Zheng Junyan looked at Niuhang Station, looked at this station that brought him countless setbacks and countless sadness, and coldly ordered, he must take this station today, he wants to see what that Zhuang Jihua is like!

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the shells rushed to the distant position with a sharp whistling, and in an instant the position was covered in smoke and fire, and the violent explosion shook the ground beneath his feet.

In the sound of the explosion, Li Junyi instructed the troops participating in the attack: "Brothers! Seeing no, there were not many party troops on the opposite side, rushed over to take the position, and each person was rewarded with ten yuan from the ocean, and the first to rush into the Niuhang station was rewarded with one hundred from the ocean, and the officer was promoted to one level. ”

Hearing the heavy reward, the morale of the army was greatly lifted, and the opposite position trembled under heavy artillery fire, believing that there would be no living people in that land, and it would be easy to take such a position.

In contrast, Liang Hongen, Yang Genghe, and Peng Dequan were much more generous, and the number of oceans was fifty and five hundred respectively, and the officers were promoted to three ranks.

But the reaction of the officers and soldiers was completely different, this is not the first time in these days that such shelling has occurred, but every time they rush forward, this place of death always spews out the fire of death and harvests their lives.

After the shelling that lasted for more than 20 minutes, Zheng Junyan waved his hand, and more than 20 big men swung their drum hammers and smashed them on the big drum. But just as the gray human wave approached the position, a light suddenly shone on the position, a hot and dazzling light, and the gray human wave fell rapidly.

The gray wave did not succumb, and then set off another wave, rolling forward in the rain of bullets, suddenly a fierce shout of killing came, in the telescope, a group of ragged Northern Expedition officers and soldiers jumped out of the incomplete trench with bright bayonets, and launched a counter-charge against the gray wave of people, and the two waves of people quickly and violently collided together. Countless white flashing bayonets collided with each other, grenades exploded at close range; The crowd was rapidly decreasing, and after more than twenty minutes, the attackers retreated in a hurry.

Li Junyi's face was blue and he looked at the retreating troops dumbfounded, he didn't understand how he could be defeated. "Brother, we have been fighting for seven days with such an attack, how can we transfer you if it is not tricky." Zheng Junyan saw his confusion, said with a wry smile, and then changed his tone and said: "This is still a success, approaching and rushing to their position, killing a thousand enemies, and losing three hundred yourself, just consume it like this, you can always consume him." ”

Although Zheng Junyan said it easily, he was lamenting in his heart, what would he do to resist the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army in southern Jiangxi when he was exhausted.

"Report to the commander, the right wing has been killed!"

Zheng Junyan and Li Junyi were in high spirits when they heard this, grabbed their binoculars and looked at the right flank, and on the position at the junction of the 1st and 3rd Regiments, the dark gray military uniforms had been deeply inserted into the position, and the light gray military uniforms in Guangdong seemed to be insufficient in support and began to retreat. Before the two had time to rejoice, a team of men and horses were killed from inside the station and from the hill, and two teams of men and horses were killed from the back and flanks into the dark gray uniforms. The momentum of the dark gray attack was blocked, and after more than ten minutes, the dark gray retreated like a low tide, and the light gray military uniform struggled to pursue, and the dark gray quickly collapsed, and the officers and men dropped their weapons and ran backwards in a chaotic manner.

Li Junyi's face turned red, and the entire regiment was defeated by these hundreds of people, he dropped his binoculars and shouted: "Machine gun ready!" ”

"Click, click"

A few soldiers running in front turned over and fell, and the magistrate took the more than 100 sturdy men with large knives to step forward, "Death to those who retreat!" Death to those who retreat! ”

With their knives in hand, several soldiers who were standing there blankly were cut in two, and the remaining soldiers hurriedly turned around and ran back.

"Rush! Rush up! The colonel commander in the chaos looked at the bright broadsword and shouted hysterically, if he went back like this, his head would definitely be hung on that flagpole.

Zheng Junyan looked coldly at the troops rushing back, he knew that they would not succeed, it would be difficult for this kind of troops who retreated and charged again to pass through that fire net, but he had to ask them to rush, rush over, and consume the opponent, even if they were all dead, as long as half of the people on the opposite position were consumed.

"Order the Second Regiment to get ready."

Li Junyi looked at Zheng Junyan in surprise, but the latter stared at him unequivocally and nodded, Li Junyi understood, and immediately ordered the second regiment to prepare for the attack.

Zheng Junyan didn't know that Zhuang Jihua in the station had already taken out all the strength to eat, when the position of the fifth company was broken through, Song Xiongfu led the remaining more than 100 people of the first battalion to launch a counter-charge, if it weren't for Xue Yue on the hill who found the danger and sent the 20th company as a reserve to attack from the flank, the connection between the 1st and 3rd regiments might have been severed.

Song Xiongfu took over the position of the fourth company, and at this moment there were four companies of the first battalion and the second battalion on the position, and there were four companies numbered, but the total number of troops was less than two hundred. Knowing that the enemy's attack was extremely fierce, he rushed forward one after another to this battle line, which was only thirty meters wide, and the battle entered the white heat again.

"Brothers, you can't go back, the way ahead is life!" The officers mixed in with the troops howled and drove the soldiers to charge.

"Grenades!" Song Xiongfu screamed and threw out two grenades, but he touched them again.

"Battalion commander! The grenade is gone! ”

"No more!"

The soldiers kept shouting, and Song Xiongfu grabbed his rifle and shouted, "Get on the bayonet!" ”

"Click!" "Click!" Once again, the snow bayonets shone in the sun, "Kill them back!" Song Xiongfu roared and jumped out of the trench and led the way to the enemy.

The two armies fought together again, Song Xiongfu didn't know how many times he fought hard, after rushing out, he stabbed two in a row, and the three soldiers who followed him formed a small group with him, Song Xiongfu looked at the colonel holding the command knife in his hand, he roared and rushed over, looking at Song Xiongfu who was dressed like a wolf and a tiger, the colonel was so frightened that he retreated frequently, and roared while retreating: "Up!" Above! Kill them! Kill them! ”

A group of soldiers swarmed up and stopped Song Xiongfu, Song Xiongfu was calm, a gun was elusive, the four of them cooperated with each other, and in the blink of an eye, three or four enemies fell under their bayonets, and the blood sprayed red all around them, and in the blood light, Song Xiongfu unswervingly killed in the direction of the colonel.

In the panic retreat, the colonel tripped over the corpse under his feet, and when he got up, there was an extra machine gun in his hand, he smiled and aimed at Song Xiongfu, Song Xiongfu saw that it was not good, raised his hand and threw the gun in his hand, grabbed a wonderful arc in the air, and accurately smashed it on the colonel's chest, and at the same time two bayonets also pierced Song Xiongfu's chest.

Song Xiongfu fell silently, and the three soldiers around him fought back in grief. "Avenge the battalion commander!" Amid the roars of the officers and men of the first battalion, the enemy left a large number of corpses and fled, and the officers and men of the angry battalion pursued them relentlessly.

Song Xiongfu's death made Zhuang Jihua feel that it was difficult to hold such a long line of defense with his current strength, and he began to want to further shrink his forces and let Xue Yue lead his troops to retreat to the station, but his movements were slow. As soon as the fleeing rout retreated, and before they had even retreated half the distance, Zheng Junyan ordered the prepared 2nd Regiment to launch a second wave of offensive.

The blind pursuit of the first battalion allowed Zheng Junyan to seize the loophole, and the second regiment rushed up against the first battalion, and the first battalion, which suffered heavy casualties, could no longer stop the enemy's attack, most of them died, a small part retreated to the station, and the connection between the first and third regiments was cut off.

Just when the defense line was broken through, Peng Dequan, Liang Hongen, and Yang Genghe's offense also developed to the top, and Xue Yue and Liu Jing fell into a bitter battle at the same time.

"Damn, I don't believe it, this thing should be melted even if it is cast in iron!" Peng Dequan looked triumphantly at the troops who flocked to the position of the three regiments, this afternoon, he launched three attacks in a row, and now he finally broke through Xue Yue's defense line, the chief of staff next to him nodded yes again and again, but his eyes turned to the flagpole standing next to him, there were seven or eight heads hanging on the flagpole, the latest two were the battalion commanders who led the team to attack last two times, the eyes on the skull were round open, and the neck was still dripping blood. In the binoculars, the defenders were powerless to fight back, and the few remaining people were retreating to the small temple on the hill in chaos.

Xue Yue in the small temple calmly looked at the enemy occupying the front line, he was now powerless to launch a counterattack, he had only one Dai Anlan Company in his hands, and the rest of the troops were all disabled, the eighth battalion was almost killed and wounded, the seventh battalion suffered most of the casualties, the two battalions added up to only about 200 people, and the ninth battalion still had more than half left, and the whole regiment added up to only more than 500 people, half of whom were wounded.

"Twelve days!" Xue Yue sighed in his heart when he looked at the west, there are still three days, and now the two regiments have been divided, and the remaining three days are only for each other.
