"One battalion of fire cover, one company charged, and all the heavy firepower was used." The second regiment leader clenched his fists and said fiercely. At dawn the next day, the commander of the second regiment ordered the troops to begin the attack, but the enemy's fire was too strong, and two consecutive charges were repulsed, and a platoon of fighters was lost.

"Wait a minute, don't charge yet." Liu Hua, who had been watching the battlefield on the city wall, ran over.

"Commander, the enemy's fire is too fierce, there are no dead ends at all, we rushed several times and lost a platoon of fighters." The second head of the regiment said with red eyes.

"Don't say it, I know, communicator, let Chen Guangrong pull in the mountain artillery company," Liu Hua looked at the dozens of corpses in front of him and said fiercely.

Soon, a squad of fighters pulling cannons came running. "Report to the corps commander, the mountain artillery company is coming to report." A cadre took up in front of him.

"Company Commander Wang, drop the three platoons of the mountain artillery company to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments respectively, and now let your second platoon bombard the enemy position in front of us to me," Liu Hua ordered with red eyes.

"Yes, corps commander, the second platoon is ready to set up guns, targets, enemy forward positions, direct aiming." The company commander followed with an order.

"Boom, boom, boom" rang out as three shells rang out, and the enemy's position made of sandbags instantly fell into a sea of fire. "Comrades, rush, avenge the sacrificed comrades." The second regiment commander shouted with the sound of artillery, and the first one rushed out,

In less than a minute, the smoke of gunpowder cleared, and the enemy positions that had not been attacked for a long time had disappeared. Liu Hua chased after him, "Second Regiment Commander, just hit me like this, the second platoon of the mountain artillery company is now under your command, and you must attack the enemy's artillery position for me." Liu Hua said.

"Order the 1st Regiment and the 3rd Regiment to attack in the same way, and open the way with artillery, I don't believe that the enemy is beaten with iron, and the east and west gates must be captured before dark." Liu Hua looked at the corpse of the martyr in front of him and said.

In this way, three cannons rang out from time to time in the county seat of Changde during the day, and soon, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Report to the corps commander, Sun Xingbang came to report." Report to the corps commander, Wang Nanhu came to report. Looking at the two generals in front of him with gunpowder on their faces, Liu Hua smiled.

"Okay, what's going on now?" Liu Hua asked happily.

"Commander, the enemy still has two battalions of troops left, and now he is trapped in the command headquarters of the enemy army, the command headquarters is a compound, and the defense is very tight, and it is a little difficult to capture him." Sun Xingbang replied.

"Well, let's go, let's go and have a look." Liu Hua was the first to walk towards the devastated battlefield.

From a distance, the enemy's division headquarters enjoyed a fortress, which was tightly surrounded by soldiers, with 10 mountain guns set up about 600 meters outside the division headquarters, and several black spots on the walls of the division headquarters.

"Company Commander Wang, what's the matter, can't the mountain cannon be fired?" Liu Hua walked through the position of the Danshan Artillery Company and asked.

"Commander, the enemy's wall is too thick, and the mountain artillery shells are not armor-piercing, and they explode when they touch the courtyard wall, so" Company Commander Wang lowered his head. Liu Hua also fell into deep thought.

"Mountain artillery fights bayonets." Liu Hua suddenly thought of the tactics of cannon fighting bayonets commonly used in the Liberation War in later generations

"Commander, what kind of mountain artillery fights bayonets." Company Commander Wang asked suspiciously.

Liu Hua didn't explain, "Commander Sun, let someone find some sandbags and find a way to build a position 200 meters away from the enemy, Company Commander Wang, transport your mountain artillery company over and aim and shoot directly." Liu Hua ordered.

"Yes, Legionnaire." After speaking, everyone began to prepare, and under the cover of powerful firepower, the troops quickly formed a position at a distance of 200 meters.

"Commander, it's ready," Company Commander Wang ran over.

"Okay, give me a direct aim at this side of the courtyard wall, and fire continuously." Liu Hua walked to the position and ordered.

With the sound of an explosion, gaps immediately appeared in the courtyard wall of the enemy's division headquarters, and as the density of the artillery bombardment continued to increase, two mortar companies that rushed in also joined in, and immediately, the enemy's division headquarters fell into a sea of fire.

"Order the troops to charge." Liu Hua coldly ordered.

At this point, all that remains for the infantry is to clean up the battlefield. Under heavy artillery fire, two battalions of enemy troops were left with only one wounded and sick who could not be connected.

"Report to the corps commander, the reconnaissance battalion will come and report, and the mission will be completed victoriously." Liu Xiaogang suddenly appeared in front of Liu Hua, Liu Hua's eyes lit up, haha, the enemy's ammunition depot is in my hands again. I almost shouted.

"Let's go, let's go and see what good things the enemy has sent us." Liu Hua said with a smile, and the frowning brows that had been frowning finally relaxed.

When you open the door of the ammunition depot, you will see boxes of ammunition, piles of quilts, and boxes of shells. "Haha, this time we sent it again, sent a report to Director Li Qing, and asked them to rush to Changde overnight to carry supplies." Liu Hua smiled and walked to the inside of the ammunition depot, ignoring the eyes of the people next to him.

"What is this?" Liu Hua asked, pointing to two things covered with tarpaulins. Walked over. "Commander, at this time the 75 mountain cannon is still new." The commander of the mountain artillery company ran over and said happily.

"Then I'll leave it to your mountain artillery company." Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Legion Commander, the list of supplies found at this time from the enemy storekeeper." The company commander of a reconnaissance battalion ran over.

"Well, it seems that this time the explanation really cost us to eliminate us, but it was all cheaper for us. Ordered the troops, have a good rest today, and carry all the supplies tomorrow. Liu Hua put away the list of supplies and said.

"Send a report to the political commissar and ask them to continue to block Xue Yue for two days, don't be afraid of casualties, within two days, Xue Yue must not be allowed to approach Changde." Liu Hua continued.

At this time, the political commissar Guan Xiangying was walking around the temporary headquarters, and he didn't know what was going on with the corps commander. The political commissar couldn't help but worry, knowing that this was the first battle of the Seventh Army Corps.

"Political commissar, good news, the corps commander has captured Changde," the division commander Gao Yuan hurriedly ran in with a telegram.

Political commissar, our department has captured Changde County and seized a large amount of supplies, and I hope that the Second Division will make persistent efforts to continue to block Xue Yue for at least two days. Liu Hua.

"Senior Commander Gao, it seems that we have captured a lot this time, how far is Xue Yue from Shimen Bridge." The commissar asked.

"Commissar, there are still 60 miles to go, and we should be able to arrive tomorrow." Gao Yuan said after a while.

"Okay, Senior Commander, tomorrow we will increase the intensity of blocking, and we will hold on for two more days."

The two immediately began to discuss, and at this time, Xue Yue's temporary command was in a mess.
