In just two minutes, everyone moved to the street on the right, which was closer to the area that they had already controlled, and soon Hao Jinsong and Mao Dayou ran over with mortars and ammunition boxes respectively, but as soon as they moved over, the water tower collapsed, and a large amount of water fell from the sky, but the Japanese artillery fire was still raging, and the water tower was blown into ruins by several rounds of shelling, and their current location became the edge of the ruins, fortunately they retreated far enough, otherwise they would all suffer.

Hu Laosan said to Hao Jinsong: "When we came down just now, I found the location of the Japanese artillery position, but we were already going down the tower at that time, and it was too late to give them two blows."

"And where are they?" Hao Jinsong hurriedly asked.

"That's about 600 meters from the street entrance over there!"

"Oh, where?" Hao Jinsong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately greeted: "Quick, give me a cannon, whether you can kill them depends on luck, we only shoot five shots, don't test fire, and flash people immediately after the fight!" ”

The mortar was quickly set up, Hao Jinsong debugged the shooting Zhu Yuan and put five shells into the muzzle in turn to shoot out, and then immediately beckoned the soldiers to transfer, six hundred miles away from the street intersection came five explosions, and suddenly the fire rose into the sky, it should have hit, otherwise the explosion would not be so loud, the fire would not be so loud, it should be the Japanese shells over there that exploded to cause this phenomenon.

Hao Jinsong and others, who had already left the place, stopped in front of a row of streetside houses on the other side of the street, and the armored car stopped on the street and pointed their guns at the row of houses in front of them. They decided to spend the night here tonight.

Hao Jinsong and the soldiers placed Xiao Lu's body in a relatively ventilated house, and after the battle was over, they took the body back and sent it to the special corpse management office of the division headquarters. They set up a cordon at each end of the street. A grenade is installed at each of the cordons, and any enemy sneaks up on them will inevitably touch the cordon. At the same time, the grenade will explode, this is the set of mines, not far from the cordon at both ends, two soldiers are arranged to take turns on duty in the dark, one guards the first half of the night, the other guards the second half of the night, once the enemy is found to break through the cordon, the two should immediately open fire to block, and the others quickly come to reinforcements. After arranging the vigilance, those who are not on duty immediately begin to rest.

Hao Jinsong, the squad leader of this matter, did not fall asleep. He called Xiao Wu, the driver of the armored car, over and asked him to use the wireless intercom on the armored car to contact the above, now that the water tower has been bombarded by the Japanese with artillery, their task of controlling the commanding heights of the water tower is over, what to do next, they must get orders from above.

The communication was quickly connected, and it was the commander of the armored vehicle battalion who was talking there, Hao Jinsong asked to get in touch with the commander Jiang Bin after telling his identity, and the commander of the armored battalion said to let him wait. Send someone to call Jiang Bin immediately.

Five minutes later, Jiang Bin's voice came from the intercom: "I'm Jiang Bin, please reply!" ”

Hao Jinsong immediately said: "Yingzuo, I am Hao Jinsong, the leader of the assault squad. The commanding heights of the water tower have been bombarded by the Japanese with artillery self-aiming, what should we do now? Pg the Commander for a new order! ”

"I heard a voice from your side a while ago, and I guessed it. How is your class doing now? Is there still combat capability? What were the Japanese casualties? ”

Hao Jinsong said: "The bomber Xiao Lu was killed, and four other people were injured. However, we can continue to fight, but our ammunition consumption is strict. At present, rifle bullets and machine gun ammunition are less than half a base, grenades and mortar shells are still sufficient, and we have collected some Japanese bullets and guns, which should be able to support tomorrow's day! Today, the Japanese army has launched several attacks on us in succession, and so far, the Japanese army should have lost at least 350 men in one day today."

Jiang Bin on the other end of the intercom was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "You have worked hard today, thank you, where are you now?" ”

"It's about two hundred meters southwest of the water tower!"

"Okay, tonight you do a good job of vigilance, just stay where you are and rest for the night, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock to continue to advance to the southwest, while advancing while clearing the hidden Japanese troops in the houses on both sides of the street along the way, our other troops are actually not far from you, tomorrow morning the closest friendly troops to you will move in the direction where you are, I hope you will succeed as soon as possible!" When fighting the Japanese army along the way, you must pay attention to the street fighting tactics and combat precautions I have taught you, and arrange for the rear personnel to avoid being attacked by the Japanese on your back."

"Understood, Camp!"

After the call, Hao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, but at this time he felt extremely tired, he was too tired today, and he needed to rest too much.

There was nothing to do all night, Hao Jinsong and others rested well this night, in the place where the water tower collapsed, because it had become a vast ocean of water, there was water everywhere, the Japanese did not dare to determine whether Hao Jinsong and others were dead or alive, and it was dark at night, so the Japanese did not dare to send people to search at night.

The next morning, Hao Jinsong and the others got up early, the brothers finished breakfast in batches, and there was nothing good during the war, just some dry food and canned food for the march, and some hot water was boiled in the kitchen of the house next to it, and the water was taken from the bucket filled with water by the armored car, which was received from the water tower yesterday, and at that time it was thought that the Japanese might attack the water tower, so they put these buckets of water in the armored car and prepared to evacuate at any time, and now it seems that this is really a wise decision.

After facing the intersection of the water tower in a row arranged three mines, Hao Jinsong and others left, the front section of the road has been discovered yesterday, the houses on both sides have also done the corresponding search, there are two soldiers at the street intersection in front of the guard, so this section of the road everyone is more assured.

When he arrived at the street, Hao Jinsong took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, now there was still half an hour before eight o'clock, and he gathered the soldiers together to group them to prepare for the next cleanup of the Japanese army in the front block.

"Are they all here?"

Hu Laosan said: "Only Xiao Geng is still on guard over there, and everyone else is here!" ”

Hao Jinsong glanced at it, it was true that only Xiao Geng was not there, everyone else was here, he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Okay, now there is still a little time before eight o'clock, before we set off, we will carry out a specific grouping, divided into three groups, the armored car group is the fire support group, Xiao Liang and Shu Dashui follow behind the armored car, Shu Dashui your marksmanship is accurate, eyesight is good, you are a sniper, responsible for finding and cleaning up the enemy in the front of you and in the distance. Xiao Liang, your main task is to break the queen! Xiao Mo, your on-board machine gun is responsible for providing fire support to the other two groups, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" All three replied at the same time.

Hao Jinsong continued: "Hu Laosan, you choose five people to join you, it is for the first group, responsible for cleaning up the houses on the left side of the street, clean up one by one, don't let any of them go, the light machine guns belong to you, and the other five people follow me, for the second group, we clean up the houses on the right side of the street, Mao Dayou, you follow me, you have great strength, and you provide us with fire support with heavy machine guns." The positions of the first and second groups are about ten meters slightly ahead, the positions of these two groups are basically kept in a line, neither group is too protruding forward, the armored vehicle fire support group is slightly behind us about ten meters, as soon as we find the enemy in front, you immediately provide fire support. In addition, I would like to remind you that when fighting, you must follow the tactics and points I taught you before we set off yesterday. Also, before throwing a grenade, you must remind your companions so as not to accidentally injure your comrades, and after you have cleared a house and found no suspicious circumstances, you must signal safety to your companions, you can talk and gesticate, the specific arrangement is like this, do you have anything to add? ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words and said no, the squad leader's arrangement was careful enough.

Hao Jinsong saw that everyone had nothing to add, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then put away the pocket watch and said: "Okay, everyone make preparations, drink water when you should drink, pee if you want to pee, and solve it quickly if you want to, you won't have time to and pee when the fight starts, there are still twenty minutes to go!" ”

When everyone heard this, they dispersed, some went directly to the street under the tree to uncover their pants and water them, and some ran to the house next to them to pull poop.

Twenty minutes later, gunshots and explosions were already heard from the southwest, and it seemed that the friendly troops had begun to clear up this side, Hao Jinsong gathered the team and shouted: "Check the equipment!" ”

The soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition, bayonets, backpacks and other items, but found no problems, and then Hao Jinsong waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

After the team arrived at the corner of the street, it was immediately divided into three parts, Hu Laosan took five people to form a group to the left side of the street, and the squad leader Hao Jinsong took another five people to form a second group to the right side of the street, the armored car turned and moved forward, Shu Dashui and Xiao Liang unfortunately followed behind the armored car, Shu Dashui because of the task of a sniper, so he had to always observe the roofs of the houses on both sides of the front and other high places.

Hao Jinsong took the second group of battles to the first house on the right side of the street under the eaves with his back against the wall, and he said to the soldiers: "Xiao Geng and I, the two of us are scouts and assaulters, Xiao Lin and Xiao Xiao are the second echelon, responsible for covering, responding and supporting us, Mao Dayou is outside to provide fire support in time, Xiao Guang, you are responsible for breaking off and protecting the machine gunners, do you understand your position and tasks?" ”

Everyone nodded to show that they understood, and Hao Jinsong solemnly waved his hand: "Let's act!" (To be continued......)
