Tan Zhenlin immediately ordered the artillery to move forward and fire at the devil's heavy machine gun position. This time, the artillerymen gained experience, improved their accuracy a lot, used up all the shells, destroyed 4 heavy machine guns of the devil, and also knocked out 2 light machine guns by mistake.

The devils, who discovered the threat in the rear, mobilized a cavalry squad to storm the artillery positions of the New Fourth Army. This time, Tan Zhenlin had already prepared, more than 200 soldiers each raised a 2 or 3 meter long sharpened tree branch, plus a fire net of pistol and machine gun fire to surround the artillery position, so that the devil's cavalry had nothing to do, but instead took 4 war horses and 3 cavalry.

At this time, the devil received a telegram that the New Fourth Army had arrived at the periphery of Xuancheng, so he mobilized the main cavalry to kill the New Fourth Army, intending to open a bloody road back to Xuancheng.

At this time, in addition to the deer barriments, Tan Zhenlin's troops had already been arranged, and the three light machine guns, three grenadier canisters, more than 20 rifles, grenades, and ammunition that had just been captured greatly increased the firepower.

Wang Yilang's troops also launched a counterattack after the mortar knocked out the devil's heavy machine gun. Without the threat of heavy machine guns, the Wumu guerrillas gained the upper hand in firepower, and light machine guns, Qiguang and grenade machine guns showed their might.

Under the attack of the Wumu guerrillas and the third detachment of the New Fourth Army, the devils had no choice but to bypass the resistance of Tan Zhenlin's troops, relying on the advantage of fast cavalry speed and fleeing back to Xuancheng.

After the round, Wang Yilang and Tan Zhenlin respectively counted the casualties and captured: Wang Yilang's troops killed 167 people, seriously injured 241 people, 304 people were slightly injured, one devil stronghold was cleared, one squadron of devils was completely annihilated, 2 heavy machine guns were captured, 1 was damaged, 6 light machine guns were damaged, 3 were damaged, 29 war horses were killed and wounded, 9 grenadiers, 87 rifles, 15 pistols, and some ammunition; Tan Zhenlin's troops killed 67 people, seriously wounded 87 people, slightly wounded 47 people, annihilated an infantry squad of devils, killed and wounded 29 devil cavalry, a total of 83 people, killed and wounded 37 war horses, captured 3 light machine guns, 3 grenadiers, 37 rifles, 39 grenades, 21 pistols, 21 knives, some ammunition, 4 damaged devil heavy machine guns, 2 light machine guns, and a number of other equipment.

Wang Yilang and Tan Zhenlin assembled their troops around the devil's stronghold, moved the seriously wounded to the stronghold for treatment, and distributed the common spoils of war between the two sides: horse meat was cooked and divided between the two sides, so naturally Wang Yilang's troops took advantage of it; The 7 damaged heavy machine guns were re-accumulated into 2 by the veterans, plus 3 intact light machine guns, 8 grenadiers, 27 rifles, 11 pistols, and 125 grenades, and the corresponding ammunition was allocated to the New Fourth Army, and the remnants of various weapons and part of the ammunition were assigned to the Wumu Army.

The New Fourth Army lacked weapons and equipment, so Wang Yilang gave all the weapons jointly captured to the New Fourth Army and only got some ammunition. Tan Zhenlin was embarrassed and offered to take in the wounded of Wang Yilang's department who had lost his base area, but Wang Yilang did not shirk and left Tan Zhenlin some medicine, so he arranged for the wounded to be transferred to the New Fourth Army base area together with the wounded of the New Fourth Army.

Just when Wang Yilang and Tan Zhenlin were humble to me, the devil's anti-suppression troops had already caught up. Wang Yilang's radio station contacted the New Fourth Army and learned that Zhang Yunyi's troops attacking Xuancheng had withdrawn, and decided to attack Xuancheng by surprise.

Wang Yilang ordered the troops to repair the stronghold fortifications overnight; Tan Zhenlin sent a search team to clean up the devil scouts within 10 miles.

When it was almost dawn, Wang Yilang left a company to garrison the stronghold, and he took the main force and Tan Zhenlin to retreat from behind the stronghold across the river and directly into Xuancheng.

Captain Ozawa, the squadron leader of the vanguard of the devil's clean-up army, knew according to intelligence that the Zhina Army had about a regiment of more than 2,000 people, with strong combat effectiveness and strong firepower, the Xuancheng Cavalry Brigade had been frustrated, and the Hewan stronghold was destroyed.

As soon as it was dawn, the devils launched an attack on the stronghold of Hewan.

The company commander in charge of blocking was Li Tiedan, who had just been promoted. This kid has a great talent for fighting, he only arranged 1 heavy machine gun and a platoon in the stronghold in the direction of the intersection where the devils attacked, set up 1 heavy machine gun and a platoon at the intersection on the other side of his control, and also arranged 1 heavy machine gun and a platoon on a hard ground in the muddy quagmire on the opposite side of the road, and other light and heavy weapons were concentrated in the stronghold.

The devil's starting position was more than 500 meters away from the stronghold, and as soon as he rushed out of the position, he was strafed by the heavy machine gun on the opposite side, and the devil had to disperse and rush out of the position, and the heavy machine gun on the opposite side was also changed to point fire, but three more light machine guns joined the point fire, and the fire suppression of the light and heavy machine guns of the devil was completely ineffective.

It turned out that Li Tiedan set up all the machine gun positions under the ruins, and used the steel pot as a steel shield to block the front of the machine gun, and set up a hidden observation hole next to it, so that the deputy shooter would prompt the target to shoot and make up for the lack of a narrow field of vision of the machine gun.

The helpless devils could only crawl forward at a distance of 200 meters from the Chinese army, and the speed of the attack was greatly slowed down. Wu Mujun also changed the number of routes, and the heavy machine guns were fired at the devil's heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and the light machine guns hit the infantry, especially officers, military officers, grenadiers, etc.

Half an hour passed, and the devils had not yet entered within 100 meters of the stronghold, and the devils of the three squads were pressed in the wilderness by 1 heavy machine gun and 3 light machine guns, and they could not attack or retreat, and more than 30 people were killed and wounded in vain.

Suddenly, the heavy machine guns in the stronghold went silent, and then the two light machine guns stopped firing. The experienced devils knew that the barrel of the machine gun of the China people was overheated, and they immediately stood up and charged.

Because the prostrate time was too long, the devils' hands and feet were numb, and the attack speed could not get up, and a batch of grenades flew out of the Wumu army's position at an unimaginable speed and distance---- which were actually grenades fired by grenades and machine guns, killing and wounding 6 or 70 people at once, and the other devils still rushed up without fear of death.

The devils finally rushed to within 100 meters, and the guerrillas' strange light, grenade machine guns, and rifles opened fire together, and most of the 7 or 80 devils were wiped out, and the remaining 2 or 30 devils still rushed within 50 meters and were blown away by the guerrillas' grenades.

The devil's 45-minute-long attack consumed the strength of a squadron, and Ozawa's squadron leader only had 4 heavy machine guns and 3 light machine guns left, a total of 37 soldiers, looking at the corpses and wounded everywhere in front of him helplessly.

At this time, the guerrillas sent one light machine gun to replenish the corpses and wounded soldiers one by one, and 5 or 6 devils who were playing latent also returned to Dongying. At this time, the sun had just risen, and the blood-red morning glow and the corpse and blood of the devil were intertwined.

Captain Ito Bonan Nakasa finally arrived with two infantry squadrons, an artillery squad, and a heavy machine gun squad. After listening to Ozawa's report, Ito Honan decided to proceed cautiously, retreating the offensive position by 200 meters and waiting for another reinforced squadron to arrive before attacking.

It was nearly noon when another squadron arrived, and Ito Bonan had already arranged artillery positions and heavy machine-gun positions, and had found a way to break the enemy.

A burst of artillery shelling was directed at the heavy machine-gun fire point of the guerrillas, and the firing points hidden by the guerrillas under the rubble were buried again in the rubble, and all the firing holes were blocked, and the firing points became anti-artillery holes. Then the artillery fire shifted and the other two pillboxes that had not collapsed were blown up.

Li Tiedan was really shrewd, and did not get out of the anti-artillery hole after the devil's shelling, and avoided the devil's second shelling, but was detoured by the devil from the west river by boat and bamboo and wooden rafts, and the observation post found that the devil was less than 200 meters away from his position, and the devil's shelling did not stop.

The courtyard wall of the western stronghold is relatively intact, not only is it strong but also has the original shooting hole. As soon as the devil's shelling stopped, Li Tiedan's six Qiguang and three light machine guns were immediately put into position, the heavy machine guns on the front were transferred to a reserve position to block the devils 100 meters away from the front, the heavy machine guns at the intersection on the side 400 meters outside also exerted their firepower to flank the devil infantry in the front, and the devils attacking in the front used the terrain such as potholes and ridges to shoot at the guerrillas, and did not charge, waiting for the flank sneak attack troops to attack.

The devil who sneaked up on the flank was very cunning, and he kept crawling until he was 30 meters away from the courtyard wall and did not charge, which meant that he planned to blow up the courtyard wall and directly impact it. With a wave of his hand, more than 20 riflemen threw grenades outside the courtyard, and then quickly turned to the front position, and handed over the rest to the submachine guns and light machine guns behind the shooting holes.

Seeing that the sneak attack devils had been exposed, they all stood up and charged, and crawled forward for a long time, causing numbness in their hands and feet, and once again making the devils suffer, and dozens of them were swept down by intensive fire, and they hurriedly retreated, and the artillery fire immediately covered the cover, and Li Tiedan also lost 1 light machine gun and 1 submachine gun. The devils in the front launched an attack, which made Li Tiedan's hands scramble, but fortunately with the help of the heavy machine guns on the side, he was able to stabilize his position and repel the enemy in the front; The devils on the flanks began to attack again......

Under the cover of artillery fire, the devils were attacking in turn on the flanks without stopping, and Li Tiedan blocked left and right desperately resisted. Although the number of devils' offensive routes is obvious, the intensity of the attack is too great, and the frequency conversion is too fast, so that Li Tiedan's casualties continue to rise, 11 people have been killed, 7 people are seriously injured, 19 people are lightly injured, and there are only 1 heavy machine gun, 1 light machine gun, 3 strange light type, 2 grenade machine guns left in the stronghold, and there are only 11 riflemen, grenades and grenades are all used up, and the front devil still has 2 infantry guns, 7 heavy machine guns, more than 160 infantry, and there are 3 heavy machine guns and 6 infantry and 70 infantry on the side devils.

Li Tiedan is going to die, and he has to hold on until dark no matter what! Suddenly, the heavy machine gun stopped. Broken, the barrel of the heavy machine gun is overheated! Li Tie's egg head is big, it's really raining because of the house leak!

Ito Bonan is also lamenting that the shells have run out!

The stopped shelling made Li Tiedan ecstatic, the devil ran out of shells, because the two guns stopped firing at the same time, it was impossible for the barrels of the two guns to overheat at the same time, so it could only be that the devil had no shells.

The heavy machine guns in the stronghold and the heavy machine guns on the sides can deal with the devils in the front, the side courtyard wall has been blown up a lot, but it is barely usable, 1 light machine gun, 3 strange light style to resist the side attack is a little difficult, and it has to be like this, 2 grenade machine guns are arranged in the corner of the wall, and support both sides at any time, so that it should be able to support until dark! Li Tiedan was a lot more relaxed.

The devils, who had lost artillery support, were much more discouraged, and the attack was stopped. The physical exertion of the attacking devils was much greater than that of the defending guerrillas, so they all retreated to a safe distance to rest.

Li Tiedan seized the opportunity and led the team to withdraw from the stronghold from the blind spot of the devil's sight and came to the river.

The soldiers tied several rafts with wood and door panels to house the wounded, while others tied their wet trousers into air bags, and drifted down the river to meet two heavy machine guns and two platoons blocking the junction.

When the devils found out, they immediately sent troops to occupy the stronghold, but they were dizzy by the explosives buried in the ruins by the guerrillas, and they had to search for and clean up the explosives, delaying the opportunity to pursue, and watching the guerrillas retreat calmly.

The troops dispatched by Wuhu suffered heavy casualties, so they had to retreat to Xuancheng nearby, but they received the news that Xuancheng was lost, so they had to travel a long distance to withdraw to Wuhu, and along the way they were plundered several times by small units of the New Fourth Army, and there were only more than 400 people left in the standard infantry brigade of 1,100 people.

Xuancheng was naturally taken by Wang Yilang and Tan Zhenlin, and after seizing a batch of weapons, ammunition and materials, they withdrew to the base of the third detachment of the New Fourth Army.

The devils were crippled on two of the three routes of Wang Yilang's troops, and the devils in Tongling fought on three sides, but they choked the local people enough, but fortunately, there were militiamen who organized evasion and hidden materials, and the losses suffered before and after the defense of Nanjing were much smaller.

Wang Yilang rested at Zhang Yunyi's place for 10 days, and when he heard that the devils who fought on three sides had withdrawn their troops, he led the team back to fight on three sides, comforted the victims with a large number of materials seized from Xuancheng, and regained control of the surrounding villages and towns of Wu, Tong, and Xuancheng, and the devils also automatically gave up Xuancheng.

Li Tiedan and they withdrew to a remote village in Dangtu County, and rested for half a month under the reception of the local Wumu caravan, but unfortunately only 2 of the 7 seriously wounded survived, and 1 of the lightly wounded also died, only 139 people remained, this battle was only consumed, not captured, and the weapons were only 2 heavy machine guns, more than 840 rounds of 7.7mm bullets, 7 light machine guns, 13 Qiguang type, 79 38-type rifles, more than 4,300 rounds of 6.5mm bullets, 1 grenade and grenade, and only 129 grenades for 7 grenade machine guns. Li Tiedan has never been so miserable, he is unwilling!

When I want to sleep, someone brings me a pillow! A man from the Wumu caravan brought news that there was a group of devils in a small mountain den 30 miles away, carrying hundreds of people to work, and they didn't know what they were doing. When Li Tiedan heard this, he felt that he could go and see what made the devil work in the poor countryside!

Li Tiedan took a strange light and a telescope and went to the devil's nest alone. At a distance from the target, Li Tiedan saw a large cart coming, he hurriedly hidden, and quietly followed behind after the large convoy passed.

The large convoy drove into the small mountain pass, Li Tiedan did not dare to follow up, so he had to use the telescope to observe from a distance, only to see that the 12 carts were loaded with 5 carts of grain, 4 carts of shovels and pickaxes, and 3 carts of things he didn't know.

The large convoy left the small mountain nest in the afternoon. Li Tiedan waited for it to get dark and quietly touched it, and when he heard the dog barking from a distance, he had to retreat and return to the station overnight.

When he returned to the station, the shopkeeper of the village grocery store told him that the merchant of the Wumu caravan, who often came to the village, had been caught by the devil and taken to a small mountain nest. Li Tiedan decided to put on makeup and sneak into the small mountain den to "study and study", but the brothers didn't do it, so they had to take the two with them. The grocery store keeper reminded them that they had the brim marks of their hats on their heads and calluses on their hands with guns, and they knew at a glance that they were soldiers. Li Tiedan, they are stupid, what should they do?

The shopkeeper taught them to shave their hair to remove the marks of the brim of their hats, and to soak their hands with water every day, and the calluses would disappear in a few days. It is not only a veteran but also an old man who dares to love the shopkeeper, and after Li Tiedan decides to leave by himself, he will be the acting company commander of the shopkeeper.

A few days later, Li Tiedan and the three of them each pushed a cart of silkworm sand "by" the small mountain nest and were successfully caught by the devils.

The three men entered the small mountain den and were handcuffed and shackled into the cave. In the cave was a group of scrawny people, only the merchant who had been caught a few days ago was still in good spirits, but he was also handcuffed and shackled. Li Tiedan quickly learned from the merchant that this was a gold mine, and there were only 5 devils guarding 3, 400 prisoners of war and ordinary people, but the devils had two wolf dogs that were very in the way.

Someone among the coolies interjected: "Don't get in the way, smear your body with fresh cow dung and horse manure, as long as you don't move, the dog won't recognize people!" Lao Tzu used to steal chickens in the past, so he used this trick to avoid dog bites! If you want to riot, count me in! An unkempt, ragged but by no means skinny man leaned in.

This person's name is Lang Tiehammer, he is a habitual thief, he steals more food to eat every day, he didn't starve for half a year, he wanted to escape but he was alone, and he was excited when he had the opportunity this time.

After dinner, Lang Tiehammer stole a few balls of cow dung and two iron sticks, and the five people pried open the handcuffs and shackles, smeared the cow dung on their bodies, picked the lock and slipped out of the cave. The wolf dog sniffed on Li Tiedan's body, and was puzzled, and was whined and wailed when Li Tiedan grabbed the dog's head and twisted it, and the other wolf dog was smashed to death with an iron rod by Lang Tie Hammer. The two devils standing guard were killed in a daze, and the sleeping devils saw Aunt Amaterasu in a daze.

The gold mine went to Li Tiedan. The devil has a lot of inventory: 1 heavy machine gun, 6 boxes of 3,240 rounds of 7.7mm bullets, 5 Type 38 rifles, 7,200 rounds of 6.5mm bullets, 72 grenades, more than 400 catties of explosives, more than 3,200 taels of sand gold, 5 boxes of canned food, 5 boxes of biscuits, and more than 7,000 catties of grain......

Li Tiedan signaled to the outside of the mountain, and the response personnel quickly stationed in the gold mine. After the coolies were rescued, they drank porridge at any time for 3 consecutive days, switched to rice after 3 days, and after 10 days, the grain stored in the mountains was eaten up, and the devils sent supplies, and Li Tie took all the eggs.

This time, the devils sent 13 devil soldiers, 8 38-style rifles, 4 pistols, 1 light machine gun, 12 carts, 24 horses, 8,000 catties of grain, some canned food, biscuits, and a number of tools.

The guerrilla detachment of the Wumu Army also sent people to send ammunition and supplies, and also repelled several counterattacks by the devils. Li Tiedan changed from a platoon commander to a mine commander. Since then, the three sides have been beaten and Dangtu have been connected, the prisoners of war and miners have been added to the Suwan brigade, and the devil prisoners of war have been locked up in the gold mines to work as coolies, and Wang Yilang's strength has increased greatly.
