"Yes!" The correspondent immediately jumped on a black horse and ran towards Pinglu. ～～～*

Huang Huancheng also shouted: "Correspondent! You also go back and call 1; The detachment also arrived within two hours. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled when he heard it: "It's not a loss, it's an old classmate of Huangpu!" ”

Huang Huancheng also smiled and said: "We have long wanted to fight this Caojiazhuang, but we have been dragging this tragedy in Sijiao, which made me make up my mind." Shaofan, how do you want to fight? ”

Shen Shaofan opened the map and looked at it carefully, and said: "Caojiazhuang is far away from Yuncheng, once it is attacked, the old fox on the bank of the river will not rush to the rescue, even if we have to send troops, there is our defense line, we can not make an estimate." However, we have to guard against Kitaoka Yoshino's troops in Xia County, so I am going to let Bailong's special service battalion block the devil's troops coming out of Xia County on Highway 6, and use the simplest way for Caojiazhuang, that is, the inside and the outside. I led the reconnaissance battalion to infiltrate Caojiazhuang, and now I have started to fight inside, and I have mobilized all the troops of Sangu Jiuzhi and disorganized him, and when the time comes, the large army outside will have my cavalry company to open the way, and I will drive all the way straight in, and kill all the wings of Sangu Jiuzhi, leaving no one behind. ”

"Hmmm! I agree. Huang Huancheng said: "Sangu Jiuzhi's troops have committed such a bad crime in Sijiao, we must not let them all go, and it can be regarded as a warning to the devils of Yuncheng." I asked the 1st detachment to assist the White Dragon in the blockade on Route 6. ”

When Shen Shaofan heard this, he said: "Okay! Your Eighth Route Army has more experience in blocking battles than we do. What about combat effectiveness? ”

"Don't worry! That unit was brought out by me from Weishan Lake, and there are many old comrades, all veterans of the Autumn Harvest Uprising in Jinggangshan, who followed our chairman, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than yours. Huang Huancheng said with a smile.

Shen Shaofan was also very relieved after hearing this: "That's good! We are carefully studying the attack plan against Caojiazhuang. ”

"Good!" Huang Huancheng responded. The two of them gathered the officers together and agreed on a plan to attack Caojiazhuang.

Diao Qiongsan is a native of Shanxi, who grew up in Caojiazhuang in Xia County, and everyone knows him, his nickname is 'Poor Third Son', not because his family is poor, but because he has a poor stomach, and the son of a landlord's family can't even write Dou Da, because he is the third son of the Diao family, so others call him 'Poor Third Son', and those who love to pat on the back call him 'Third Master'. This son has nothing to do, because the Diao family is a local big landowner, so the whole Caojiazhuang and the surrounding villages bully men and women; Fish and meat villagers; Do all kinds of evil, as soon as the devil enters Yuncheng, he will take refuge in the devil, become the maintenance president of Caojia Village, become a traitor, and often take the devil to the villages to catch ** and anti-Japanese elements and massacre the local people, the people hate him to the bone, and want to bite him to death.

Sijiao was moved to the ground by Sangu Jiuzhi, Shen Shaofan gave birth to an evil fire, and categorically ordered to attack Caojiazhuang, and Huang Huancheng was also willing to assist Shaofan, so what would be their fate?

It's a busy night in Pinglu County; It is the beating of the torches; It was a messy pace, the two torches, the long line of long queues, the distant zigzag movement to the northeast, the grinding sound of the guns and the messy pace of the troops, you could hear it from afar, the army of the Eighth Route Army; The troops of the National Youth League all rushed in the direction of Sijiao.

Wei Lihuang was awakened from his sleep by the shaking torches and the characteristic sound of marching, he stood at the gate of the city and watched the troops go into the distance, and said to himself with a few doubts and satisfaction in his heart: "Young man! There's a lot of momentum. ”

"Sir! Is it unruly for Shen Shaofan and Huang Huancheng to go to fight Caojiazhuang without getting your order? Zhang Weirong stood on the side of Wei Lihuang and said.

Wei Lihuang smiled and said: "One is the first independent column, and the other is the old man's ace lineage, can I control them?" Is there anything bad about beating Caojiazhuang again? ”

Wei Lihuang thought about things very simply, he didn't know about the Sijiao tragedy at this time, thinking that this military operation was a cooperation battle between the National Youth League and the ** Independent Column, just to kill the devil's spirit, but he never thought that Shaofan and Huancheng's action actually drove the entire Zhongtiao Mountain, and the southwest corner of the mountain was turned upside down, and at the same time made the devil ruthless to chew Zhongtiao Mountain.

According to the original plan, the troops had the special service battalion of the National Youth League to set up an ambush on Highway 6 with the assistance of 1 detachment of an independent column, Shen Shaofan took the reconnaissance battalion to quietly infiltrate Caojiazhuang, and the other troops waited for Shaofan and the reconnaissance battalion to signal outside Caojiazhuang.

Shen Shaofan pointed to the map and said: "Once Caojiazhuang starts, the 1st Battalion and the cavalry company will be responsible for launching an attack on Caojiazhuang head-on, while the battalion and pistol company will be responsible for the left and right sides of Caojiazhuang, and the independent column will be responsible for the rear of Caojiazhuang, and the Sangu Wing must not be spared." Everyone has to show a murderous ruthlessness, and we will not accept any prisoners of the Mitani United. ”

The dawn of the sky is coming, the National Youth League and the independent column have quietly touched the periphery of Caojiazhuang, the village is quiet, only a wheat field from the sound of insects and frogs, Huang Junjie used a telescope to look at the situation in the village, looking at Shaofan and the reconnaissance company quietly sneaked into the village.

Caojiazhuang is located in Xia County; Wen Xi; The junction of the three counties of Yuanqu is an important commodity gathering place in the three counties, and it is also an important village where the three counties of the devil swept away the temporary troops and built food. Coincidentally, the devil was about to carry out a large-scale sweep on the eastern side of Zhongtiao Mountain, causing large-scale damage to the right flank of the main force of the ** squadron, and the devil was building several brigades of food and ammunition in the village, plus a wing of the Kawagishi Division, the Qingshui Jielang Wing was stationed here, which was a situation that Shaofan did not expect, and at the same time, the devil did not expect that the people of China would dare to attack the front line of the imperial army, and it was not until Shen Shaofan's National Youth League entered Caojiazhuang that those devils could not believe that it was the army of the Zhina people.

The back door of Caojiazhuang is facing Wenxi County, a row of mountains and mountains block the association of Wenxi and Caojiazhuang, the independent column adheres to a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Caojiazhuang is bordered on the right side of Yuanqu, adjacent to Maojiawan, the middle is a horse Pingchuan, the left side is directly facing Sijiao, and the wheat field is also a look, the front is also a horse Pingchuan, in general, Caojiazhuang has convenient transportation, but it is not easy to defend, the only thing that can be held on the offensive and defensive is the high earthen city wall of the village.

The reconnaissance battalion was divided into multiple echelons and quietly infiltrated Caojiazhuang, and the security in the village was very strict, not only the imperial army was standing guard, but also groups of devils were patrolling with torches, and devils in the streets and alleys; Two dogs; traitor militias; The night raid detectives are all hanging around in Caojiazhuang.

Duan Louyun was lying on the room, looked at the torches on the street, and said to Shaofan: "Be good! God, the devil knows that we are so heavily guarded to fight Caojiazhuang. ”

Shen Shaofan looked at it and said, "It seems that the devil didn't know that we were coming." If you know that we can still enter the village? ”

Lou Yun looked at it carefully again and said, "Then why are they so vigilant?" ”

Shaofan smiled slightly: "It seems." We've caught the big fish. You see, the largest warehouse in this village is the poor third son, which is the big mansion opposite us, and we have come all the way here, and the most tightly guarded here, I think there must be something good hidden here. ”

Lou Yun heard this: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's do it! ”

Shaofan said: "Don't worry! We will cause problems for the other echelons if we do it beforehand, and so on! Tell them to be ready for battle. ”

Lou Yun responded and lowered his voice: "The bullet is loaded!" Get ready for battle! ”

At this time, it was just when the devils handed over the post, and I saw a team of devils walking towards the distance, at this time, a loud noise came out in the distance, and a flame rushed straight into the sky of the nine heavens, illuminating the dawn of the darkness red, almost at the same time, Caojiazhuang was like a pot of chestnuts that had been copied, and there was a fuss everywhere.

Shaofan and Duan Louyun couldn't hold back the killing machine in their hearts for a long time, and they continued to strafe the street with MP40, just like a divine soldier suddenly descending, and the devil was holding his head and running away, and a team of soldiers quickly occupied the warehouse of the poor third son, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a large amount of food, guns and ammunition.

Shen Shaofan shouted with a submachine gun: "Lou Yun! Lou Yun! ”

"Yes!" Lou Yun ran over and said.

Shen Shaofan looked around and said, "Immediately organize defense to protect this place." I think this is the devil's munitions warehouse, just now the devils were blinded by a sneak attack by us, and when they come to their senses, they will definitely organize a counterattack. ”

"Yes!" Duan Lou Yunyi saluted and shouted, "Quickly organize defense!" Heavy on the Bunker; Snipers occupy the commanding heights; Everyone is hidden. ”

Shen Shaofan and Duan Louyun came to a warehouse and spread the map on a box and looked at it, Shaofan said: "Immediately send a messenger to get in touch with each echelon to report the progress of the attack elsewhere." ”

"Hmm!" Lou Yun bowed his head.

It was also in Caojiazhuang when the guns rang out, the cavalry company of the National Youth League rushed all the way from the front of Zhuangkou with the smoke of fire, and the rumbling guns were mixed with the sound of iron hooves that rushed thousands of miles, and the commander of the 1st battalion, Huang Junjie, took the lead with the Czech ZB6 in his hand and drove all the way into the village, battalion; The pistols were not even willing to be lonely, and they also launched an attack on the left and right of the village.

The two devil wings stationed in Caojiazhuang are the sharp knife troops of Kawagishi and Beigang, and the strength of the battle cannot be compared with the ordinary devil wings, and when Shimizu Setsuro and Mitani Jiuzhi came to their senses, they organized a relatively large-scale counterattack, but Shen Shaofan and Huang Huancheng seized the opportunity, no matter how fierce the devil's firepower was, it was difficult to beat the ** team in front of them out of Caojiazhuang in one go, What's even worse is that the commanders of the two wings made a big mistake, that is, they handed over the periphery of Zhuangzi to the Imperial Allied Army and the Night Raid Team, and the entire Zhuangzi was almost surrounded by the National Youth League and the independent column.

Caojiazhuang was already in chaos at this time, the Imperial Association Army and the night attack team withdrew towards the north gate without a head, and as a result, they encountered the cavalry of the National Youth League who came all the way to the dust, and the Imperial Association Army and the night attack team did not know how many people became the souls of the knife, and the cavalry company killed a large circle from the north gate and returned to the south gate, at this time the 1st battalion had occupied the south city gate at the same time, Lidong; The west two gates also occupied the north gate one after another, which was deliberately left by Shen Shaofan to the devil, and Huang Huancheng's troops were waiting for them there early, but the devil was also smart and knew that there might be fraud in the north, and he would rather pay a heavy price to break through to the west gate, but the devil's breakthrough had not yet begun, and the three-sided encirclement of the national family group had already been closed in the city, and the unsuspecting imperial army and traitors disobeyed the devil's order and withdrew towards the north gate, and all of them were killed in the deep mountains outside the north gate.

Mitani Kuzhi answered the phone at his headquarters, and at the same time, Shimizu Setsuro was also watching Mitani Kunao, and when he saw Mitani Yizhi's head, he put down the phone after connecting a few "hi" in his mouth.

Setsuro Shimizu hurriedly asked, "What is Your Excellency Kawagishi's order?" ”

Mitani Kuzhi let out a long sigh and said, "Your Excellency Kawagishi ordered us to defend Caojiazhuang. He Caojiazhuang has a large number of supplies from our Imperial Japanese Army, and these materials cannot fall into the hands of the Chinese people. ”

Setsuro Shimizu first looked at the map, and said, "Warehouse No. 4 is already in the hands of the Shina people, so we must take it back." ”

The gunfire was already very close to their headquarters, and the bright morning light was mixed with the flickering of artillery fire, and Mitani Kunao also looked at the map and said: "Now we have been mixed up with the Shina people, I don't know how many troops the Shina people have, but fortunately, the warehouses of the capital of Shonai are still in our hands, and it seems that we can only order the troops to organize resistance around the warehouses and wait for the support of His Excellency Kawagishi." ”

Setsuro Shimizu bowed his head and said, "This is also the best way." ”

When the battle was fierce, the two armies paid a heavy price for fighting for a bungalow, especially the Cao Gong Bridge, which traverses the Caojia River from east to west in Zhuangnai, became the main target of the 1st Battalion and the Mitani Wing.

Huang Junjie's battalion headquarters was set up in a bungalow not far from the bridge, because the battle broke out suddenly, the people in the village did not have time to escape, so they had to hide in their own cellar where the grain was stored, and the bungalow was almost empty.

Huang Junjie looked at the battle on the bridge and scolded: "Damn! When did Chang Guangfa become a girl, he still couldn't attack the big stone bridge after attacking it for more than a while. ”

Wang Xiang, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, said: "It is indeed difficult for the Sangu Wing to deploy heavy troops in the north of the bridge. ”

"Even if it's hard, it's going to be rushed. Even if you hire people to go up, you have to take it in 20 minutes. Huang Junjie shouted categorically: "Tell Chang Guangfa that he can't take the bridge in front of him in twenty minutes, so I will transfer him to the cooking class to be a gangster." The whip in his hand slammed into the table, and it didn't seem like a joke.

In fact, as soon as the National Youth League entered the village, the entire unit had already been disrupted, and the troops that exchanged fire with Sangu Jiu on the Cao Gong Bridge were the battalion headquarters and the 1st company, Chang Guangfa was the company commander of the 1st company, and his troops were still relatively complete units, and some companies were even on duty; The platoons are already in chaos, most of them are all improvised patchwork companies, and the officers with the highest rank are under the unified command, and Chang Guangfa's 1st Company has the least number of missing soldiers and small men.

Chang Guangfa carried a submachine gun in his hand, and walked back and forth on the south bank of Caogong Bridge on the south bank of our army's position, walking alone in the midst of artillery fire, looking at the opposite bank as if nothing had happened, shouting: "Brothers, don't lose the face of the 1st battalion and 1st company to rush me!" "The first one jumped out of cover and launched the twenty-third attack with the fighters.
