The next morning, Liu Hua was woken up by the sound of explosions, and without thinking, Liu Hua knew that the enemy's shelling had begun, and the whole squad of soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery hole looked at their squad leader with admiration, and it was precisely because of their squad leader's request that they escaped the enemy's shelling.

The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and as far as the eye could see, the hill on which the Red Army was located seemed to have been plowed over. The 24th Division of the Gui Army came prepared this time, and with Chiang Kai-shek's generosity, he carried enough ammunition and did not need to think about frugality at all. Qin Lianfang, commander of the 24th Division, put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Xie Dingxin, the head of the Reading Force Regiment of the Seventh Army beside him: "Brother Xie, it's up to you below, remember, if you encounter a powerful counterattack by the communist army, you will retreat immediately. "The Reading Force Regiment of the Seventh Army was newly reorganized from the exiled officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army, and he was afraid that Xie Dingxin would suffer a big loss if he made meritorious contributions, so he repeatedly admonished him. Head Xie responded, "Yes, Master!" Because the task of taking the lead was won by himself, he naturally couldn't mess up, so he decided to go into battle in person and left in a hurry.

After the shelling stopped, Liu Hua and his comrades-in-arms hurriedly got out of the anti-artillery hole, ran along the communication trench, and ran towards the position, while at this time, the Gui Army's reading regiment was forming in front of the position, ready to attack at any time. Liu Hua hurriedly asked several soldiers under his command to take advantage of this time to strengthen the fortifications that had been bombarded by artillery.

Slowly, the Gui army began to rush towards the positions of the Red Army in a dense formation. The number is estimated at the strength of one battalion. Liu Hua tightly held a brand-new medium formal rifle in his hand and aimed downward, but unfortunately, the distance was too far.

In this way, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, soon rushed to the front of the position of the Red Eighth Company. When the enemy advanced to 50 meters, he finally heard an order from the company commander Wu Xin to "fight". Liu Hua gently pulled the trigger, killed a company commander who had been aiming for a long time, quickly moved the target, and hit another machine gunner. At this time, it was too late to open the third robbery. Heard: "Throw a grenade!" He grabbed a grenade beside him, pulled the fuse, silently counted three times, and threw it towards the place with the most people. At this time, the enemy seemed to be frightened and hurriedly retreated. Company commander Wu Xin hurriedly shouted: "Comrades, rush!" Before he finished speaking, the first one rushed down. The warriors also rushed down.

At this time, a sense of danger suddenly surged into Liu Hua's heart. He hurriedly shouted: "Company commander, don't! I've been tricked, retreat! "But by this time it was too late. Dense mortar shells fell among the charging fighters, abandoning corpses from time to time. The Red Eighth Company hurriedly retreated, but by this time more than a dozen comrades had already been sacrificed, and the company commander Wu Xin was also seriously injured.

Liu Hua hugged the injured company commander and said with tears in his eyes: "Company commander, hold on, you can be treated immediately, hold on." The company commander smiled, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said vigorously: "I estimate that I am dying, I order that Comrade Liu Hua be appointed as the acting company commander of the Red Eighth Company now" After speaking, he fell into a coma.

"Company commander, company commander, wake up," several cadres next to him hurriedly shouted.

Liu Hua gently handed over the company commander to the hygienist, thought about it calmly, and ordered: "I now order, as the acting company commander, to take all the wounded and sacrificed comrades to the rear in a platoon, and serve as a reserve in the company after completing the task." The second and third platoons, follow me into position, ready to meet the enemy. With that, the first one walked towards the position.

Then, under the organization of Liu Hua, a difficult resistance battle began.

Watching the Red Eighth Company defeat the enemy's attacks again and again under the leadership of Liu Hua, while its own casualties were few. Almost 500 enemies have fallen in front of the positions. That's a lot of camps. Well played! Well done, Eight Links! In the regiment command post, the regiment commander Shen Shuqing saw it clearly in the telescope, and couldn't help but high-five and shout. If it weren't for the rumbling of artillery, he would have been eager to run to the position of the Eighth Company. A grenade and a row of bullets reimbursed more than one person of the enemy, and he Liu Hua did it, if he didn't even dare to think about it.
