Guo Meng just picked up the phone, and before she could call out, the phone from the third battalion came in, and she answered it immediately, and the anxious voice of Wu Ming, the commander of the third battalion, came from the phone: "The Japanese army has arrived in Dahe Village and is launching a fierce attack on Dahe Village, is the regiment commander not there?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Meng hurriedly said, "The head of the regiment is here, you wait a minute." ”

Qiao Youhua had already walked over, took the phone and said, "Wu Ming, how is the situation?" ”

"The devil is attacking Dahe Village, what should I do now?" Wu Ming said.

"You don't have enough troops in your hands now, and you have to stay in Feiyunling, don't act rashly, now I have rushed to Luquan with half of the troops of the guard company and the second battalion, Luquan County is no problem for the time being, and then I will find a way to reinforce Dahe Village, so be it." Qiao Youhua hung up the phone after speaking.

"Political Commissar Guo, send someone to inform Ma Yunlong, the artillery battalion will be quickly assembled, the city defense task will be handed over to the guard company and Sun Dahai to carry out, and all the militia will be mobilized to support the city defense force at any time." Qiao Youhua said.

"Yes." Guo Meng happily responded.

At this moment, a guard soldier ran in from outside, and saluted the two: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the devil has occupied the field fortifications we built outside the city, and the company commander and Deputy Battalion Commander Sun ask for instructions if they want to go out of the city and recapture it?" ”

Qiao Youhua frowned and said: "There is no need to recapture it for the time being, now our main task is to find a way to support Dahe Village, the devils will not be able to find our underground tunnel entrances and exits for a while, so send some militiamen to enter the tunnels from the city, and strictly guard the tunnel entrances and exits of the field positions outside the city to prevent the devils from getting in." ”

………………

In Dahe Village, the soldiers of a platoon led by Liu Xiaohai had already resisted the attack of the devil's vanguard by virtue of the superiority of their weapons, and caused great casualties to the more than 300 devils, stabilizing the situation.

However, another reinforcement of thousands of devils arrived and joined the battlefield, Liu Xiaohai's disadvantage in strength was instantly expanded several times, and the devils also carried mortars, and under the onslaught and shelling of the devils, the reconnaissance fighters who stayed behind suffered heavy casualties.

They could only resist while retreating into the village.

At this critical moment, Liu Jianhua arrived in time with three other cavalry reconnaissance platoons, and without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jianhua led them to launch a direct surprise attack on the Japanese army that surrounded Dahe Village.

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... The soldiers galloped wildly, the submachine guns in their hands let out a roaring roar, and the dense bullets like locusts whizzed towards the devil soldiers.

The devils who were attacking Dahe Village were suddenly hit by firepower, and they had no time to dodge the reaction, and they were shot and fell down one after another.

Liu Xiaohai and more than 30 surviving reconnaissance soldiers also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack from the village, and joined forces with Liu Jianhua and them to kill more than 1,000 devils and flee in defeat.

Liu Xiaohai and they also turned on their horses, joined forces with Liu Jianhua, and launched a pursuit of the devils, and the infantry in the rout became the target of the wanton slaughter of the scout cavalry.

It was not until the follow-up troops of the 21st Brigade arrived that they were forced to stop the pursuit and turn around and return to Dahe Village.

In this battle, the cavalry reconnaissance company killed more than 400 devils, plus the number of kills and injuries that Liu Xiaohai and their blockades, more than 1,400 devils lost more than one-third, and they returned with a crushing defeat.

After returning to Dahe Village, the infantry of two companies (one platoon) led by Zhao Youde, deputy commander of the third battalion, also arrived, and the two sides joined forces and immediately repaired the fortifications in Dahe Village.

Zhao Youde said to Liu Jianhua worriedly: "Company Commander Liu, how could the devil suddenly come to attack Dahe Village?" Could it be that the second ditch has been lost? ”

Liu Jianhua also shook his head with a heavy face and said: "No, if the battle situation on the front deteriorates, it is impossible for the regiment not to notify us in advance at all, that is to say, the devil suddenly rushed to our rear, it should be an unexpected emergency."

"Then we have to be vigilant, although the devil's striker was defeated by you, it is likely to make a comeback." Zhao Youde said.

"I believe that the Tuanzuo and the political commissar should already know the situation here, and they must be trying to find a way to solve this crisis, what we can do is to stick to the end, no matter what, we can't let the devil go down the minefield, even if it is a big sacrifice!" Liu Jianhua said with a resolute face.

"Yes, at all!" Zhao Youde nodded thoughtfully, and the two acted separately, Liu Jianhua sent scouts to monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and Zhao Youde led the infantry to speed up the repair of the fortifications, and it was too late to re-dig the trenches outside the village.

However, relying on the excavation and construction of some simple fortifications in Dahe Village, it is still not a problem.

On the devil's side, the commander of the 21st Brigade, Major General Toshiji Miura, who then led the main force of the brigade on foot, learned that the forward raiding troops had suffered a defeat and returned with a heavy defeat.

Because he couldn't take a car and marched dozens of miles on foot, he was full of resentment, and he directly vented his anger on the captain who led the attack, dismissed him on the spot and demoted him to a military officer.

In a fit of rage, he left about 2,000 Japanese troops to surround Luquan County, besiege but not attack, and led the remaining main force of the brigade, a total of more than 3,000 people, to rush towards Dahe Village again with murderous spirit.

(Note that due to the heavy logistics, artillery and other troops could not follow up, the 21st Brigade only advanced lightly, minus the defeat just now and the number of deaths in Erdaogou before, the strength is only two infantry wings, and some directly subordinate mortars and heavy machine gun units, the number is about 5,000 people.) ”

In less than half an hour, Toshishi Miura's 3,000 troops arrived at Dahe Village, and under the cover of a direct heavy machine gun squadron and a mortar brigade, the 3,000 Japanese troops quickly launched a tidal assault on Okawa Village.

Zhao Youde led more than 900 infantry battalions of the third battalion to stubbornly resist the attack by relying on the improvised fortifications built and repaired by Kankan, and for a time the guns in Dahe Village were loud and the artillery was rumbling, and the mortar of the devils was here to show its might, causing a lot of trouble to the officers and men of the third battalion.

When the cavalry scouts found out that the devils were attacking in a big way, Liu Jianhua learned the news and asked his cavalry to hide their horses in a forest close to the minefield behind Dahe Village, and led the scouts to fight side by side with the three battalions of infantry to block the Japanese attack.

Seeing that the devil's artillery fire was raging, exerting great pressure on his own defense, Liu Jianhua braved the rain of bullets and came to Zhao Youde's side and said: "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, you take people to resist here, and I will lead the cavalry to kill the little devil's artillery." ”

"Okay, be careful!" Zhao Youde instructed while shooting.
