"Enemy attack!" Then there was the roar of the surrounding soldiers, and Li Yan was directly thrown to the ground by his guards, so there was no accident, and he died before he left the army.

This blow was too sudden, not only the soldiers, but Li Yan had all relaxed at this time, without any preparation!

And at this time, the opponent's firepower was ferocious and abnormal, several heavy machine guns and light machine guns fired with all their strength at the set firing angle, and the tongues of fire sprayed from the muzzles continued to sweep over the already chaotic own soldiers, and the sound of gunfire filled the entire Zhouxing Village position.

However, fortunately, Han Zhengjun did not encircle Zhang Xunbu in Xuzhou, otherwise this first round of blows would be enough for Zhang Xunbu to retreat.

However, at this time, for the second company, those already chaotic enemy troops became live targets under the guns of the second company, and the unsuspecting people who were beaten turned on their backs.

Li Yan lay on the ground, and more and more soldiers began to react, although they paid a heavy price, but at this time, some of the soldiers of Zhang Xun's department had already fallen to the ground, and then from time to time they put a shot to counterattack Han Zhengjun.

However, in the eyes of Han Zhengjun, this kind of counterattack is not too threatening, and the soldiers of the Northern Anhui Division who launched the attack have excellent firepower organization, coupled with full preparation in advance, with the support of sufficient firepower, the opponent is completely unable to stand upright!

And the other party's return fire is like a ravaged letting out a helpless scream, which is useless at all.

Li Yan felt that his mind was a little dazed, especially when he was pressed under him by the soldiers, and he didn't react until this time.

Li Yan only felt that his heartbeat was constantly accelerating, his temples were beating suddenly, and his heart was instinctively tightening, and the pain was unbearable.

By the light of the fire, Li Yan looked at the soldiers who were constantly falling in the firelight with some trembling, as well as the subordinates who blindly counterattacked, he now understood everything, after all, this time he underestimated the young man in northern Anhui, and the other party finally took the lead, and it was an unreserved attack.

However, this is not Li Yan's biggest headache, and what Li Yan is most worried about is that if he is wiped out this time, it is very likely that he will only become the prestige of northern Anhui, and the charge of provoking war without authorization will honestly fall on his head, who let himself be the first to enter the position of Zhouxing Village

Han Zheng has already woven a trap and is waiting for himself to jump into it!

Thinking of this, Li Yan angrily took off his hat and was still on the side, the braid on his neck was also drooping, he was resentful of his carelessness, he knew that there was a conspiracy in the other party, why didn't he search carefully when he learned that the other party was retreating, why did he simply believe the reconnaissance of the captain of the reconnaissance team!

But at this time, countless bullets slashed overhead, drawing out a deadly rain of light, all of which let Li Yan know that this is not the time to regret it, even if the pain in his heart makes him unbearable, he still bites his lip and is eager to think of countermeasures, at this time, it is best to be able to resist the first wave of the opponent's attack, and then he can calmly arrange!

Thinking of this, Li Yan finally reluctantly calmed himself down, and his face was already pale at this time because of the pain in his heart.

Li Yan can be regarded as an old soldier, when he calmed down and carefully observed the firepower points and position range sent by the other party, he finally found something that made him a little relieved - there were not many people in the Northern Anhui Army that attacked at night!

"Brothers, there aren't many people on the other side now, at most only a company of soldiers, let's not be afraid, wait for the opponent's firepower to weaken, and then take the opportunity to pounce directly and disperse them!" After Li Yan discovered the reality of the other party, regardless of the pull of the guards, he suddenly stood up and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, wanting to boost morale.

At the same time, the guards around Li Yan also shouted out one after another under Li Yan's order, although there were constant gunshots around, dozens of people shouted in unison, even in the noisy gunfire, it was extremely clear.

Zhang Guofeng, who was in the dark, listened, smiled, and ignored it, but increased the intensity of firepower.

Fortunately, these pigtailed soldiers are all veterans, and they also participated in the war against the Southern Revolutionary Army not long ago, and when they heard the shouts, they finally slowly calmed down, and coupled with the reminder of the commander, they also seemed to figure out something.

Although the enemy's position now hidden in the shadows has very fierce firepower, if you look closely, you can still see that the opponent's forces are insufficient, otherwise there would not be only such a small blockade surface.

Besides, the army on his side has been beaten and can't raise his head, but the other side has not taken the opportunity to attack, which is enough to show that the opponent's strength is insufficient.

And with the stalemate of time, the effect of the opponent's surprise attack has slowly disappeared, and the opponent's position has begun to come out of the shadows.

It seemed to verify what Li Yan said, and then it didn't take long for the gunfire on the position of the Northern Anhui Army to become quieter, although it was still violent, bullets grazed past these people's sides, and some splashed layers of dirt on the ground, but the veterans of Zhang Xun's department obviously felt that the other party was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning.

So, the pigtail soldiers who have been passively beaten until now finally see hope, the fierceness in their eyes is getting sharper and sharper, the big guys are all crawling out of the pile of dead, who doesn't have blood on their hands? Once it breaks out, it's also deadly!

"Company commander, how about it, shall we serve them some more food?"

Looking at the chaotic battlefield of Zhang Xunbu in the night, Zheng Xiaosan's eyes flashed with excitement at this time, he had already come to Zhang Guofeng, and after raising his hand to kill a soldier who had just exposed his head on the opposite side, he asked.

"Nope! Our mission has been accomplished, but in order to take the next step smoothly, and then fight the last wave and retreat, black egg, you go and tell everyone, save the heavy machine guns, and when they rush out soon, they will be ruthless again, and now it's a fucking waste of bullets! Just go! ”

Zhang Guofeng glanced at the other side a few times, once the other party reacted, he couldn't escape at all, at this time, since the established plan had been completed, he would naturally not fight with the other party, so he replied to Zheng Xiaosan, and then turned his head to the black egg next to him and said.

"Yes, company commander." Hei Dan took the order and answered loudly, then walked out with a few guards hunched over and conveyed Zhang Guofeng's order to the troops.

Soon, several heavy machine guns stopped screaming one after another, and only the two placed on both sides of the position were still firing a shuttle bullet from time to time with the light machine guns.

"You're so insidious!" Zheng Xiaosan said a sentence in his mouth, then showed a mouthful of teeth and laughed twice, and continued to shoot.

However, Zhang Guofeng, who heard this, was unimpressed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood now.

Seeing that the opponent's firepower weakened, and there was no need for Li Yan's orders, the already uplifted pigtail army on this side finally broke out: "Brothers, rush!" ”

After these words, countless pigtailed troops who were prostrate on the ground suddenly jumped up, and then pounced on the position of the Northern Anhui Army of Han Zhengbu.

Li Yan wanted to stop it in the back, but thinking of the blow to the soldiers and the impact on morale, he had no choice but to lead people to follow, and thousands of soldiers jumped up directly from the covered ground, howling and rushing towards the position of the second company collectively!

"Well done! I will let you see today what impulse is the devil! Order the brethren to open fire with all your might! Zhang Guofeng looked at Zhang Xunbu who jumped up, he was not afraid at all at this time, his cheeks were red with excitement, and he roared at his subordinates as if he was drunk.

After Zhang Guofeng's order was issued, the dormant heavy firepower suddenly erupted from the bunker and formed a fan-shaped fire net in front of the position!

Zhang Xunbu, this time finally paid a heavy price for his reckless charge, and the firepower that suddenly intensified again instantly punched a gap in the formation of the charge!

Almost at the moment when the firepower of the second company burst out, the more than 30 people of Zhang Xun's department who were at the forefront were directly beaten into blood, and bullet holes were all over the body!

But at this time, the pigtail army, which has been completely crazy, can no longer take care of much, and the men and horses behind have no intention of retreating, Li Yan is full of bitterness at this time, but he can only go up hard, at this time he can no longer withdraw, once he withdraws, what greets him is the scattering of the army!

I don't know if Li Yan is lucky, in such a crazy rain of bullets, he has not been injured at all so far.

The soldiers who had been following behind Li Yan saw that their chief officer was so brave at this time, and their blood and spirit increased sharply, and their heads became hot, and a large number of troops resisted the fire blockade line of the second company, and approached the position of the second company, and at the same time, Zhang Xun's counterattack also caused the casualties of the second company to increase.

Full firepower, but lost the initial surprise effect, plus Zhang Xunbu has come to his senses, at this time the defects of the limited defensive surface began to stand out, plus this is a plain area, there are not so many geographical advantages, the second company under the opponent's crazy counter-charge, gradually a little unbearable!

"Pass the order, and the squads will retreat alternately and get out of the battle!" Zhang Guofeng didn't expect the other party to be so desperate when he went crazy, but his combat goal has been achieved, and he has made another profit at this time, when will he not leave at this time? !

Thinking of these, Zhang Guofeng did not drag his feet at all, and directly ordered the troops to retreat, and then he could perform this scene perfectly!

Gradually, the firepower of the two companies began to stagger and cover each other to retreat to the rear, although there were soldiers who were hit by the opponent's stray bullets on the way to retreat, but compared to the killing, their achievements were enough to be proud of!

By the time Li Yan had completely occupied the local positions and expelled the local soldiers, the second company had already begun to break away from the battle and run to the rear

Li Yan's face was very gloomy at this time, stepping on the position he had just beaten down, without the slightest joy, in just two or three hundred meters of charging distance, the strength of his two battalions had nearly 100 casualties! And on this position, he didn't see any dead soldiers of the Northern Anhui Army, which made him angry, so it seems that the other party has not lost much strength at all, otherwise it would be impossible to collect the remains of the dead soldiers on the way to retreat!

However, the only thing that made Li Yan feel at ease was that although his side suffered heavy losses, he also found out the details of the other party, and when the enemy retreated just now, Li Yan had already found that the opponent's strength was less than 200 people!

However, this kind of reassurance made the message faintly feel a little ashamed, and the team of 200 people actually made more than 1,000 people toss like this, and I am really embarrassed to say it.

"However, at this time, there is no turning back from the bow, so it is better to rely on the advantage of troops to completely pull out the other party's nails here before the northern Anhui army comes up to support, and also reinvigorate the somewhat depressed morale!" Thinking of this, Li Yan finally made up his mind, and after a simple rest of the army, he directly ordered the cavalry team of a company that followed to catch up and stick to the other party, and the follow-up army immediately followed, wanting to completely destroy this enemy army that had caused them great damage!

This time it was Li Yan who personally led the team to pursue, it seems that Li Yan's guess was not wrong, they relied on the speed of the cavalry, and they quickly saw the second company that had not gone far, and when Li Yan caught up with these people, the second company only rushed out of about five miles!

However, at this time, seeing that the enemy army was in front, Li Yan, who had learned a lesson, did not let the cavalry troops rush up directly, but harassed the second company from time to time in the back, and stubbornly delayed the retreat of the second company.

But in the face of this situation, the second company obviously knew that it could not escape, so it simply stopped fleeing backwards at this time, but after walking for a while, it once again entered a temporary defense line that seemed to have been built in advance, and confronted Li Yan and others.

Watching the Northern Anhui Army calmly enter the preset position, Li Yan almost vomited blood in anger, at this time he was already sure that all of this had been premeditated by the other party in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for the other party to prepare in advance even the preset position!

But looking at this kind of plain position, Li Yan believed that under the condition that the pigtail army was prepared, there would be no difficulty in overcoming this simple plain position, so although he was depressed, Li Yan still resolutely carried out this battle to the end!

"Captain Zheng, the lives of our people are in your hands, we are here waiting for the arrival of the commander, you go back now and tell the commander the progress of the matter, just say that everything is going according to plan!"

Zhang Guofeng looked at the enemy cavalry watching this side from a distance, but the smugness on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.

"Okay, you can rest assured, but don't wait for me to arrive, you will see Hades, if that is the case, you can't blame me for not coming." Zheng Xiaosan did not shirk at this time, and the commander made himself here to be prepared to keep an eye on whether the plan was going well, and once the plan went well or there was an accident, he could notify the rear in time.

"Company Commander Zhang, take care!" After Zheng Xiaosan finished speaking, he solemnly saluted Zhang Guofeng again when he got on his horse, because he knew that before the commander of the army came, more than 100 of them would have to bear the impact of at least half an hour or more of the other party's **100 people!

Zhang Guofeng saw Zheng Xiaosan's figure riding a fast horse gradually disappearing into the night, so he turned around and yelled at his subordinates and said: "Brothers are ready, today is to let us kill enough, Captain Zheng has gone to the commander to ask for credit for us, when the commander comes soon, we will have to hand over a generous gift, and we will be embarrassed to accept the commander's reward when the time comes!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they agreed with a bang!

In the night, Li Yan looked at several cavalry on the other side, holding torches in his hands and riding quickly in the direction of the stone platform in the rear, although he knew in his heart that the other party must be looking for reinforcements from the large army in northern Anhui at this time, but at this time he had no time to think about this.

This time, he wants Han Zheng to feel the pain, he doesn't want to use a company as a springboard, then he will swallow the other party's one and leave no scum!

The other party's call for help is no matter how fast it is, and when the Han Zheng defense force is equipped and rushes to this side, it will take an hour or two, and these two hours are enough for Zhang Xun's troops to eliminate the more than 100 isolated remnants of northern Anhui here!

However, if he knew that Han Zhengjun was already on the way to come, and when he met Zheng Xiaosan, he was already about to arrive at the battlefield, and he didn't know what kind of sadness and sorrow Li Yan would have in his heart

At two o'clock in the morning on October 3, Li Yan's follow-up troops had already arrived, and neither side said anything about the scene, but directly took out all the most powerful firepower, one side held its position to the death, waiting for reinforcements, and the other tried to break through the local position with all its might, intending to destroy the enemy before the arrival of enemy reinforcements!

The battle began, and Li Yan even drew the cannon that he didn't have time to use just now, and kept firing shells at the position of the second company, sending out a long distance in the night.

Time passed little by little, Li Yan's heart became more and more urgent, he looked at his own dense charge formation, and the cannonballs that rumbled up and fell on the opponent's position, he knew that the sound of artillery fire must have reached the front line of Shitai, at this time, it was estimated that Han Zheng's reinforcements had rushed over, but nearly half an hour had passed, although his own army continued to advance, but still did not completely break through the opponent's seemingly simple position!

Three charges were launched on their side, leaving a simple position in front of the opponent's position, and the army was about to break through the opponent's defense, but it was only a little bit close, and it was always difficult to succeed!

Fortunately, the other party's gunfire is getting less and less, and it is estimated that the Northern Anhui Army has entered the end of the strong crossbow!

"Let the departments prepare to launch the last attack, completely defeat the enemy in front of you, and then return to the position of Zhouxing Village, and wait for the old commander to arrive!" After Li Yan failed in the attack again, he saw that the opponent's firepower still had a few firepower points, and finally launched the final general attack, he knew that these people were tenacious, and they were already over in the face of the last impact of the army! (To be continued.) )
