The gunshots from the north made Zhang Liguo stop, he stopped a kilometer away from Zhangmutou, grabbed the telescope and observed Zhangmutou, the town seemed to be very calm, but many years of military service made him feel that this calm was an abnormal calm, he observed carefully for a while, the corner of his mouth showed a sneer, he had found flaws in several places, there must be an ambush at the town entrance. He looked to the sides again, but found nothing on the hillside, so he sent a platoon to make a tentative attack.

The platoon was quickly beaten back, the platoon commander was killed, and a third of the soldiers were killed, which made him a little alert, and he felt that the enemy in front of him was not easy to deal with. After the preparation, he sent another company, this time the team dispersed more, at 200 meters on the opposite side of the gunfire, the gunfire was not dense, sparse, but Zhang Liguo noticed that almost every time the gun was fired, a soldier fell, rushed to about 100 meters when the opponent's machine gun rang out, and his own machine gun was also erected, but the machine gunner was killed without firing a few shots, and the replacement deputy machine gunner was soon killed.

After the company retreated, the company commander was seriously wounded, all the platoon commanders were killed, a quarter of the soldiers were killed or wounded, and the only machine gun remained on the position. Zhang Liguo's scalp was numb, in fact, he had already found that the other party's number was small, but the organization was very good, the soldiers were well-trained, and if he wanted to capture this town, he was afraid that he would have to pay a lot of price.

The gunfire in the north was more intense, and from time to time there were bursts of grenade explosions, it seemed that Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang were desperately trying to break through, he was determined to attack again, he called the commander of the attack company, and told him that the opponent might have sharpshooters specializing in officers and machine gun shooters, and the opponent's weakness was the lack of troops, so he used part of his forces to attract the opponent's firepower, and the rest took the opportunity to break through from the opponent's weak firepower.

The attack began smoothly and soon reached a distance of fifty meters, but here it was bombarded by grenades, and the attack came to a standstill, and the enemy's fire quickly switched over, and as soon as the advance attempt was discovered, it was immediately blocked by fire. However, Zhang Liguo found the second weakness of the opponent, that is, when attacked head-on, the protection of the flanks was insufficient, he believed that the opposing commander did not notice from time to time, but there were too few of them, and now this situation is the best defense method they can discharge, Zhang Liguo admires this commander very much, how many years he has been in the army, how many bullets and bullets he has passed, how many charges he has played, how many times he has organized defense, but the defense organized by the opponent on the opposite side is the best he has ever seen, and the firepower has been exerted to the extreme. But you have too few people, so failure is doomed.

He turned around and ordered the guard company to prepare for the attack, and the guard company commander followed him for five years, saving his life twice, and his reward was to promote him step by step from guard to company commander and hand over the most elite guard company to him.

He was about to tell the company commander about the offensive deployment, when a more violent gunfire came from the north, and the gunfire was faintly mixed with the bugle. The enemy on the opposite side suddenly let out cheers, Zhang Liguo listened carefully, and his face finally changed greatly.

The sound of the military horn beat Zhang Liguo back, and also sent Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang into the abyss, but it was like a stimulant for the Seventh Company, the long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived, the military horn sounded Yuan and Meng's two departments collapsed, Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang fled to the mountain under the escort of the guards, fled into Guanyin Mountain, the soldiers ran all over the mountain, the second platoon and the workers' team rushed out of the town, chasing the deserters, but from behind the enemy was a Cantonese army wearing Guangzhou gray, they fought with the banner embroidered with the word Wei to tear open the enemy's rear guard defense line, and killed into the battlefield.

Zhuang Jihua rushed from the south to the north immediately after the military horn sounded, and when he arrived to the north, the enemy had collapsed, and Song Xilian had already led people to attack, but he saw Du Yuming sitting crookedly on the side, his face was pale, Zhuang Jihua's expression changed drastically, and the famous generals of the party-state fell here.

When he rushed to Du Yuming's side, Du Yuming opened his eyes and looked at Zhuang Jihua and smiled hard.

"*, we won."

"Where's the injury? Does it matter? Zhuang Jihua asked nervously.

"It doesn't matter," Du Yuming struggled to get up, Zhuang Jihua held him down: "Sit down, don't get up." ”

"Damn, that's unlucky." Du Yuming didn't struggle anymore. He was wounded while repelling the last attack of the enemy, right in the shoulder.

After Zhuang Jihua looked at his injury, he had a bottom in his heart, and comforted him and said, "It's okay, just go back and recuperate for a while." In a good mood, he stood up and said to the wounded soldiers around him, "You know what? What is a scar? is a soldier's medal of merit, a soldier in this era, there are not so many two scars on his body, he is not a good soldier. ”

"In the future, when the children and grandchildren are full, tell them the stories of these scars."

Zhuang Jihua walked along the wounded and watched, he was not worried about the enemy in the south at all now, that commander must be a fool if he didn't run, can a fool survive until now?

"Brothers, don't worry, I will soon send you back to the rear hospital, where there will be a doctor to treat you, and in a few days, you will be alive again."

"Company commander, will I be crippled?" A soldier asked with a sad face.

Zhuang Jihua looked at his injuries, the soldier's injuries on his hands, and said with a smile: "Crippled? No, you'll be hurt for up to a month. ”

"Company commander, am I going to die?" At this time, he was seriously injured, and his stomach was densely bandaged with white bandages.

Zhuang Jihua took a closer look and felt heavy, he couldn't die from this kind of injury in his previous life, but he didn't know the level of medical care in this era. So he said relaxedly: "It's okay, it's okay to sew it up in the hospital, don't worry." ”

…

The pursuit continued, and another unit rushed out from the left flank, but the banner was Zhuang Jihua's familiar school flag, and Zhuang Jihua was completely relieved.

A black horse galloped to the entrance of the town, and the officer on the horse jumped off the horse and laughed loudly: "Okay, dog, you didn't run away, you fought well." ”

Zhuang Jihua saw his military rank: "Report to the commander, I am Zhuang Jihua, the commander of the seventh company of the third battalion of the second regiment of the school army, and I was ordered to block the enemy here, may I ask which unit is the commander?" ”

The officer's face was slightly dark, and his voice was very loud: "Wei Lihuang, commander of the first regiment of the seventh brigade of the Guangdong army." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Jihua's hand and said, "Brother, well done, if it weren't for you, Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang would have run away." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't want to have a relationship with him, he still thought about the south in his heart.

"Do you want to take a greater credit for your position?" Zhuang Jihua asked with a smile.

"Greater credit?" Wei Lihuang was a little stunned.

"Yes."

"Oh, brother, hurry up, let's get straight." He was born in the army and liked to go straight.

"There is still about a regiment of the enemy to the south, and they already know that our reinforcements have arrived and are retreating. If the commander of the guard leads his team to catch up and bite them, as soon as the follow-up troops arrive, they will be able to completely annihilate this group of enemies, or at least most of them. Commander Wei, do you think this credit is great? Zhuang Jihua said lightly.

"Really?" Wei Lihuang was overjoyed when he heard this, he must know that the credit for annihilating Yuan Yaojiu and Meng Xianxiang must be from the Seventh Company, and they can only rank second at most, but if he can catch up with the enemy in the south and annihilate it, then the first credit belongs to him.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, and Wei Lihuang immediately ordered the third battalion to immediately cross Zhangmutou Town and pursue southward, and the second battalion and the first battalion immediately converged. The commander of the third battalion took the order and led his troops to chase after the south of the town.

Wei Lihuang was pleasantly surprised by Zhuang Jihua, and in the case of a 20-fold difference in strength, he dared to use a company of troops to block the enemy in the south and block the fleeing enemy in the north, and won the victory.

In fact, he also thought wrongly, Zhang Liguo's regiment in the south arrived nearly an hour earlier than them, because Zhang Liguo's determination to attack was not resolute to give Zhuang Jihua a chance, if Zhang Liguo's regiment arrived two hours earlier, I am afraid that Zhuang Jihua would adopt Hu Zongnan's suggestion and avoid the enemy's front.

The battle of the Seventh Company at Zhangmutou is over, and the rest is captured and captured; Zhuang Jihua didn't care about these, after handing these over to Song Xilian, he walked around the battlefield, the strong gunsmoke and bloody smell had not dissipated, the enemy's corpses were all over the place, but he couldn't be happy when he looked at these corpses, if he hadn't come to this world, would these people be able to live? Zhuang Jihua didn't know that killing people was really not fun, he sighed silently in his heart.

"Company commander, the battalion commander is here." The new herald Zhao Hanjie saw Wang Jun coming this way, and 100 people reminded Zhuang Jihua of the road.

Zhuang Jihua looked up at Wang Jun and Zheng Dongguo, who were walking over with a spring breeze on their faces, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Wang Jun was in a very happy mood, they took the wrong way halfway and delayed time, he was anxious, not only worried about the safety of the Seventh Company, but also worried that the Seventh Company would not be able to complete the task; So he forced the troops to rush desperately, and even then only caught up with the collection battle.

Now that the Seventh Company has not only completed the task, but also completed it beautifully, he can't care about the majesty of the official, and has just come to meet this subordinate who has made great achievements.

After a few words of greeting, Zhuang Jihua immediately reported to him the enemy situation in the south, and the situation that Wei Lihuang's regiment had gone to pursue it, Wang Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Let's clean up the enemy here first, and let Wei Lihuang drag the enemy in the south first, and when the large army comes up, we will go over together." *, your company has made a great contribution this time, but the casualties are probably not small, you rest, clean up these routs and hand them over to the eighth and ninth companies. ”

Of course, Zhuang Jihua agreed, he sent someone to call Song Xilian and Huang Mingcheng back, clean up the battlefield, and take back the guns, especially the machine guns.

Back in the town, Cao Yuan also came over with the second and third platoons, and after the remaining soldiers of the seventh company were assembled, only fifty-four people remained, and there were twenty-seven lightly and seriously wounded, and the whole company lost more than forty people.

Huang Mingcheng's workers' team of 82 people were involved in the battle, and now 47 remain, with 11 wounded and 24 killed.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the soldiers and workers standing in front of him, they were ragged, tired, dirty, and bloodstained, but they stood there straight, their eyes radiating courage and confidence.

"Brethren, fellow workers, I am proud of you, for you have overcome an enemy twenty times outnumbered you, and you have beaten them to the brink and fled; From this day on, you have become their nightmare, a lingering nightmare; You have won honor for the Seventh Company and glory for yourself. Your deeds will go down in history for future generations to admire. ”
