Liu Tianshu and Jin Zhenbiao rushed to the opposite side of the Huangjia stronghold with the second company, and the first platoon of the second company immediately prepared to attack, and the second platoon was placed on a small hill east of the Huangjia stronghold.

As for the third platoon, it was left in reserve.

There were only twenty-five devils in the Huang family's stronghold, and when they heard the sound of gunfire in the Xiaohe stronghold, the devil soldier Cao who was stationed in the stronghold reported to the top and asked the twelve devils to gather.

After reporting to the above that the Xiaohe stronghold had been attacked, the devil army Cao took twelve heavily armed devil soldiers and ran out of the stronghold along the railway towards the Xiaohe stronghold.

Seeing that the thirteen devils had left the stronghold and hurriedly ran towards the Xiaohe stronghold, Liu Tianshu took the rifle handed by a soldier and nodded to Jin Zhenbiao.

Jin Zhenbiao saw the devil running over the mountain mouth to the west, and after a while, he heard the sound of the Xiaohe Bridge being blown up, and then gunshots rang out in the west. The devils in the Huang family's stronghold found that their companions who went to reinforce seemed to have encountered resistance, and they all turned their attention to the west.

At this moment, with Jin Zhenbiao's low shout, a platoon immediately rushed to the turret from the northeast direction of the Huang family's stronghold. Of course, when the platoon was moving, it did not blindly rush, but slowly approached the turret under the cover of the terrain and the night.

The two devil soldiers guarding the turret slowly turned their searchlights and swept back and forth on the side of the railroad while paying attention to the movement in the west.

Looking at a platoon of soldiers with soldiers, who had rushed to a place less than ten meters away from the turret, Liu Tianshu aimed at the head of the devil who was probing his brain on the roof of the turret, and suddenly pulled the board gun, with the crisp gunshot, a cloud of blood mist splashed on the devil's head, and then his body was crooked, and he fell on the turret.

The other devil realized that the situation was wrong, and just held the gun and was about to shoot, Liu Tianshu another bullet flew and hit the devil's forehead, and the devil's body froze for a moment, and then fell backwards.

Two shots killed the devil on the top of the turret, and then Liu Tianshu extinguished the searchlight on the roof of the turret with one shot.

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil was stunned by the sudden gunshot, a platoon of long handles waved, and the two soldiers jumped up, rushed to the gate of the turret, put the four grenades tied together under the gate, and then pulled the lead.

At this time, the ten devils who remained in the turret only knew that the turret was attacked, but they did not know that a row had rushed to the gate of the turret. These devils only cared about shooting the guns in their hands desperately outside the turret, and the 92 heavy machine gun was even more frantically spitting bullets into the night outside.

At this time, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the gate, and even the entire turret was shaken, and the devil's face was suddenly changed.

Seeing that the gate was blown open, a platoon of long handles waved, and the two soldiers of the fourth squad kicked the rickety gate and rushed into the bottom of the turret, but their bodies quickly grabbed a corner, and at the same time, the muzzle of the gun moved rapidly, searching for all suspicious targets.

After confirming that there was no danger on the ground floor, the other four fighters of the fourth squad, under the leadership of the squad leader, rushed to the second floor. When they arrived at the top of the staircase, the fighters did not rush up, but threw a grenade at it, and only after an explosion sounded inside and a cloud of gunpowder smoke was raised, the two fighters pressed against the wall and rushed up.

In fact, there were only four devils guarding the second floor, and when they heard that the door of the bottom floor was blown away, the four devils immediately withdrew the rifles that shot outward, aimed their guns at the stairs, and immediately shot when someone came up.

The grenade exploded immediately, and the smoke filled the entire second floor of the turret, and when the smoke cleared, a devil felt a pain in his back before he could get up from the ground, and then lost consciousness.

After the three soldiers rushed upstairs, they immediately leaned their bodies to the side, and when the smoke of gunpowder gradually cleared, they saw the four devils lying on the ground and were about to get up.

As soon as he stabbed the two closest devils to death, he saw the squad leader rushing up with his comrades, and the remaining two devils were shot to death.

The devil on the third floor heard the screams of his companions downstairs, and knew that the situation was not good, so the devil with the organic spirit immediately took out a grenade, followed the example of the Eighth Route Army, and after pulling out the insurance, he threw it down from the staircase.

The leader of the fourth squad, who was rushing up with people, suddenly felt something flying towards him, and immediately a spirit shouted that there was a grenade, and his body immediately rushed forward, and the other soldier turned over and hid behind the stairs.

After the grenade hit the wall, the bones rolled down, and the fighters of the fourth squad immediately looked for a place to lie down.

As the explosion of the grenade sounded, the second floor was again filled with gunsmoke.

The fourth squad leader didn't expect the devil to use this trick, so he was not polite at the moment, took out a grenade, and after pulling the lead, he delayed it for another three seconds before throwing it up from the staircase.

As soon as the grenade flew up to the third floor, it immediately exploded in the air, and the six devils guarding the third floor were not on guard at all, and when they found that the grenade came up, they were hit by the flying bullet skin, and they couldn't help but let out a few muffled snorts.

Then, two more grenades flew up, and the remaining three devils immediately hid in the corner, not daring to show their heads at all.

At this moment, the soldiers of the fourth squad seized the opportunity to rush to the third floor, the three devils were in a hurry, raised their guns and fired desperately at the soldiers who rushed up, the two sides launched a round of fierce and short shooting on the third floor, the three devils fell with unwillingness, and the two soldiers of the fourth squad were unfortunately shot and died.

After eliminating the devils in the Huang family's stronghold, Jin Zhenbiao immediately commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and emptied everything useful before letting the fourth squad leader set fire to the turret.

Hearing the sound of the Huang family's stronghold being blown up, the second platoon, which was blocking the attack in the east, immediately retreated.

When the devils who reinforced the Huang family's stronghold found that the blockers in front of them were nowhere to be seen, and cautiously rushed to the Huang family's stronghold, what appeared in front of them was the Huang family's artillery tower that had been bombed into ruins.

Knowing that the Huang stronghold had been captured, Jin Zhenhu's third platoon immediately rushed westward, and with the cooperation of the first company, all thirteen devils who had gone out to reinforce the Xiaohe stronghold were killed.

Yang Donghu led his troops to retreat to the mountains and forests north of the Xiaohe stronghold, and joined the troops who had cleaned up the battlefield, and when he heard that the gunfire at the Xiaohe Bridge had stopped, he knew that the devils at the Xiaohe Bridge had also been eliminated, and he commanded the troops at the moment, and disappeared into the mountains and forests north of the Xiaohe stronghold with the spoils of war.

A large number of devils who had been reinforced from the east and west finally rushed to the Huang family stronghold and Xiaohe stronghold, but what appeared in front of them were two bombed-up strongholds.

These two strongholds were first set on fire, and then blown up, and the entire turret turned into ruins, but fortunately, the corpses of the devils killed by the Eighth Route were neatly placed on the railroad tracks.

Liu Tianshu and Jin Zhenbiao withdrew to the north of the mountains and forests with the second company, and after joining up with the first company, the troops immediately turned to the northeast.

At dawn, the independent battalion stopped in a small mountain village.

After a night of fierce fighting, coupled with a long-distance attack, the soldiers were very tired, but fortunately the battle achieved a great victory, not only eliminated more than 60 devils, but also captured a large number of guns and ammunition, especially to Liu Tianshu's joy, in the Xiaohe stronghold, accidentally obtained three 60 mortars and 48 shells.

As for the heavy machine guns, two were also captured. As a result, the strength of the independent battalion was greatly increased.

"Battalion commander, can you give us a company of those two heavy machine guns?" Yang Donghu looked at the two new Type 92 heavy machine guns placed in the yard and said greedily.

"A company for you?" Liu Tianshu couldn't help but look at him, and Jin Zhenbiao, who was on the side, listened attentively with both ears.

"yes, or give me a boost." Yang Donghu hesitated for a moment and took a step back.

"Don't count on heavy machine guns, the battalion has to form a machine gun company, these two heavy machine guns plus the original one, they have to be given to the machine gun company, in addition, the three mortars must also be used together. As for your company wanting a heavy machine gun, this is easy to do, the devil has more in his hands, and there will be opportunities in the future. Liu Tianshu thought about it and said what he was going to do.

The establishment of a machine gun company was an idea that he had always had, and according to his idea, the machine gun company would have two heavy machine gun platoons and a mortar platoon. There are now twelve of them in the Devil's grenadier battalion, however, it is indeed less powerful, and its range does not exceed five hundred meters, except for providing melee fire support, it cannot provide long-range fire suppression at all.

Now that the troops have three heavy machine guns and three mortars, they can first form a heavy machine gun platoon and a mortar platoon, and as for the light machine guns, they are still left for the company.

It's just that the troops are still marching and fighting, and the matter of forming a heavy machine gun platoon has to be put aside first, Liu Tianshu picked out a few soldiers who can use heavy machine guns and formed two heavy machine gun groups, which, together with the original heavy machine gun group, were temporarily organized into machine gun squads.

When the troops arrived at the small mountain village, Tang Shui naturally got busy, and the independent battalion stabbed the devil's railway transportation line, and Watanabe would definitely be furious, so his next move would directly determine the next move of the independent battalion.

As for Shi Qiang's reconnaissance platoon, it could only reconnoiter the enemy's situation within a radius of 50 miles.

In fact, this time in the Huangjia Forthouse and Xiaohe Fort, the independent battalion also captured two radio stations with little power. But in the entire independent battalion, except for Liu Tianshu who followed Sengefu and learned to send and receive newspapers simply, no soldier would use it.

Besides, Liu Tianshu didn't have the internal password of the Eighth Route Army, even if he started the radio, he didn't have a password, and he couldn't figure out the content inside.

After staying in the small mountain village for two days, Tang Shui received information from the underground party that the devil's Noeda brigade had chased this side and was currently searching twenty miles west of the small mountain village, while the Saito brigade also left Songkan Town and pressed to the east.

Judging from the information sent by the underground party, Watanabe guessed the general location of the independent battalion and is mobilizing all forces to encircle it.

Although the small mountain village was hidden, it could not stay here for long, so Liu Tianshu decided that the troops would continue eastward to the junction of Fuchang County and Jinyang County, and then cross the railway to the south and go back from the flank of the Yezhi Brigade.
