At 6 p.m. on September 26, 1913, autumn had just arrived, and the day was getting shorter and shorter.

At this time, Han Zhengjun, who led the army to the direction of Huaibei, still did not stop, and continued to move forward, preparing to march overnight.

However, in order to prevent Zhang Xunbu from jumping over the wall in a hurry before the army drove to the direction of Huaibei, directly preemptively attacking, or destroying evidence, Han Zheng had already issued an order to Lin Xiang, who was stationed in the direction of Shitai, so that Lin Xiangbu could directly launch a counterattack, completely wipe out Zhang Xun's company, and recapture Zhouxing Village, requiring that when Han Zheng arrived at the front line of Shitai, he would see these people who had committed the most evil diseases, and the other company's company commander was the one who asked to be captured alive!

There are more than 2,000 people in the division and Han Zheng's guards, plus logistics and people, etc., a total of more than 3,000 troops are constantly rolling forward, even at night, the team looks extraordinarily spectacular.

Horses, carts, cannons, heavy machine guns, and soldiers dressed in yellow uniforms everywhere with the words "211th Division Guards Regiment" and "Guards" on their sleeves startled the birds that had fallen asleep at night, and flew away into the distance with a flutter, trying to get away from the murderous crowd as much as possible.

Han Zheng was dressed in military uniform, sitting neatly on a big horse, and there were hundreds of guards on horseback beside him, which was particularly conspicuous.

Watching the soldiers roll forward, Han Zheng suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, with this mighty army, there is no place in the world!

Garrisoned at the regimental headquarters of the Second Regiment of the Second Brigade in Shitai Town, it was brightly lit at this time, and from time to time people came and went in and out of the regimental headquarters, everyone's faces were tense, and their steps were hurried.

At this time, the regimental headquarters had already received the order from the commander, and when Han Zheng arrived, he would see the commander of the enemy's company tied in front of him, so for the second regiment, the anger that had been held back until now finally had an outlet to vent, and from another point of view, the sooner the other party was taken, the sooner things would be stabilized.

Lin Xiang looked at the map in his hand, his brows furrowed from time to time, through the news that came not long ago in the evening, the other party seemed to have noticed the seriousness of the matter, and noticed the abnormal movement of his own army, at this time the company had shrunk back and built a temporary position in Zhouxing Village, and the local soldiers showed signs of reinforcements.

Lin Xiang's second regiment was not worried about this kind of position established in a hurry, although there would be some sacrifices, but if they wanted to capture it, there was no difficulty, but they were worried that if they could not attack it for a while, the opponent's backup would definitely come one after another, and it would be easy to fight a bad battle at that time.

Moreover, the commander issued a strict order that Zhouxing Village must be captured under the arrival of the commander, but fortunately, the military heart is now available, there are a lot of heavy machine guns, plus several cannons, if this matter is hurried, it is not impossible to complete.

"The commander's order has come down, this time we are fighting for the crime of the people and punishing the murderer, I order all units to immediately go to the area around the bridge to complete the task assigned to us by the commander, and it can be regarded as avenging the innocent people who died! And launch a general attack in the early hours of the morning to completely destroy the enemy army! Lin Xiang's gaze kept sweeping between Zhouxing Village and the bridge, and finally nodded at Zhouxing Village fiercely, and blurted out the order!

All of a sudden, the second regiment of one or two thousand ready to send an army rushed out and rushed towards the direction of the bridge, this trip was not only to drive away the pigtail army, but also a war of revenge!

The marching speed of the various units of the second regiment was very fast, and soon after Lin Xiang came to the direction of Zhouxing Village, and then stopped on the outskirts of Zhouxing Village to observe the best attack point.

However, the other party obviously had some preparations, and after Lin Xiang arrived, he found that martial law had obviously begun here, and the patrol density was extremely close.

But that doesn't stop tonight's imminent war, and it's almost like you don't let go of your fingers!

At midnight in the evening, the whole regiment had already moved to its respective positions, forming an encirclement of Zhouxing Village in the dark, and the artillery and heavy machine guns had been planted in the dark night.

All the soldiers lay quietly on the outskirts of Zhouxing Village, staring at the dark village in the distance with hatred, anxiously waiting for the roar of the cannons.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment, who had already seen the powerful artillery fire, pressed their bodies tightly to the ground and opened their mouths wide when the artillery suddenly came suddenly.

Shells were fired out in boxes and landed in this small enemy camp in Zhouhang Village, and after ten minutes of rapid fire, six cannons fired more than 300 shells.

The position of Zhouxing Village in the night was covered with smoke and fire from the artillery, and most of the shells accurately fell on the enemy camp at the mouth of the bridge, and in the enemy camp at the mouth of the bridge, from time to time there were stumps and broken arms that were blown up in the firelight, and then scattered around, but they were soon covered up again by the floating soil that was blown up.

As soon as the cannon firing ended, the heavy machine guns that had been waiting for a long time also roared, joining the sonata of death, and the tongues of fire swept towards Zhouxing Village, which was still trembling in the artillery fire, venting the anger of the soldiers at this time.

In the position of the pigtail army, it was obvious that they had been stunned by such fierce artillery fire and firepower, and there was no room for backhand at all, so they could only be beaten passively.

Soon after, when the smoke and dust of the local position gradually sank, the infantry attack troops, who had been waiting for a long time, under the order of the commander and the cover of dozens of heavy machine guns, roared, loaded their bayonets, and swarmed out from all directions, and launched an attack on the enemy position in Zhouxing Village!

Suddenly, the shouts of the soldiers pierced the entire night sky, like a thunderclap in the darkness, which exploded on this land in Huaibei.

However, the pigtail army is also ruthless, just in the position where everyone thought that Zhouxing Village had been disabled, when the soldiers rushed closer, it was the local position that suddenly sprayed dense bullets!

These bullets fanned out and rained towards the crowd, and the soldiers who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground, and the attack was frustrated!

But this time, in the face of the strict order issued by Lin Xiang personally, no one took a step back, coupled with the fact that there were attacking troops on all sides, it was difficult for the pigtail army, which was already underskilled, to take into account all sides, and the endless soldiers still broke through the sparse blockade line and rushed towards the enemy position at the bridge.

If the comrades in front fall, the back will make up, and layers of corpses in yellow uniforms have been left in front of the entire position.

Gradually, the enemy's defense was no longer able to resist the pace of the attacking troops, Lin Xiang's second regiment, more and more people approached the enemy position, but their own casualties were already nearly 100 soldiers, this kind of progress, every step will step on the corpses of their comrades!

Lin Xiang watched the attack in front of him from behind, and when he saw the soldiers dying in front of the position layer by layer, he closed his eyes in pain, these are all his own soldiers!

But after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and then looked at the advancing troops in front, clenched his fists and slammed them on the table in front of him, and then said to the staff officers behind him: "Press all the reserves up and end this battle!" “

The new staff officer didn't seem to have recovered from the battlefield in front of him, and when he heard this, his face turned a little pale and he hurriedly went outside to convey the order.

Soon, the reserve force of hundreds of people was all completed and rushed directly towards Zhouxing Village, every soldier knew that they would take Zhouxing Village tonight!

The heavy machine guns in the rear were firing at full power, ignoring the bullets, and fired at the guns of the enemy soldiers who had just been discovered, suppressing the exposed gun holes and covering the attacking soldiers.

Sure enough, this time the effect was much better, the soldiers were getting closer and closer to the last line of defense of the enemy position, and by one o'clock in the evening, the regimental troops had advanced more than three hundred meters, and at this time, the attacking troops had also poured into the enemy position and pounced on the enemy troops in the position!

Zhang Xunbu finally knew that things could not be done, and in this situation, he had organized three breakthrough troops to the north, but under the order of Lin Xiang to completely annihilate the enemy army and capture the enemy company commander, they were all stopped by Lin Xiangbu, who had already been prepared.

In desperation, the soldiers of Zhang Xun's department seemed to know their fate, and instead launched a fierce battle, and a skirmish began in the position.

Lin Xiang never expected to encounter such a tenacious force, and in the end, when the machine guns and artillery were difficult to use, they scuffled together with bayonets and machetes on their backs, and even fists and teeth, and from time to time the enemy troops fell, and their own soldiers were killed!

In the night, the area around Zhouxing Village fell into a sea of fire, and the shouts of killing broke out in every place, but when more and more soldiers of the second regiment entered the position, the shouts of killing gradually became quieter, indicating that the battle began to come to an end.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Lin Xiang's department completely cleared out the remnants of the enemy and completely occupied the entire Zhouxing Village, and the company commander did not escape after all, perhaps because he knew that he had no good result, the company commander wanted to commit suicide at the last moment, but he was twisted to the ground by the soldiers of the second regiment who pounced on him, tied up with a rope and brought to Lin Xiang.

Lin Xiang looked at the sluggish and tattered braided company commander in front of him, and he didn't even have the interest to say a word, so he directly asked his subordinates to lock up this person and wait for the arrival of the commander! (To be continued.) )
