Bang bang bang...... Da Da Da ...... Erdaogouzi Town, which is about two kilometers in radius, is already full of gunfire, and fire and smoke are burning everywhere.

The monkey came out from under the cauldron in the kitchen of a house with an MP18 submachine gun in his hand, and three devil soldiers with bayonet rifles came in the courtyard.

Da Da Da, a dense rain of bullets killed the three devil soldiers on the spot, and with one blow, the monkey smiled, immediately drilled into the tunnel, and disappeared without a trace.

The sound of gunfire attracted a wave of devils, but they rushed into the courtyard and found nothing but the bodies of their three companions, and before they could search carefully, gunshots and explosions rang out in other places, and the devil soldiers immediately withdrew and ran to other places.

In the town, the sparrow war, the curtain battle, combined with the underground tunnels, were used to the fullest by the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, and the thousands of devils who entered the town not only failed to control the entire town in the battle that lasted for more than an hour, but were attacked everywhere, losing at least hundreds of people.

‘

Caught in a great deal of passivity and panic, the commander of the Japanese army soon reported the situation to the brigade command.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the attacking forces claim that they have been subjected to endless attacks by the Chinese in the town, and they suspect that the Chinese have built tunnels in the town!" In the temporary headquarters of the 21st Brigade, an officer of Osaku said to the brigade commander Toshishi Miura.

"Authentically?" Miura Minshi frowned when he heard this: "Is it possible that the people of China can still hide all of them in the tunnel?" Let the attacking troops, search from house to house, and find the entrance to the tunnel, they will blow it up for me, and suffocate all the people in it. ”

"Hay!" Officer Osaku hurriedly bowed his head in response, turned around and went to deliver the order.

After receiving this order from Toshishi Miura, the attacking forces of the devils began to carry it out, but they were obviously too optimistic, there are hundreds of large and small houses in the town, and each house may have two or three tunnel entrances and exits, and there are countless tunnel entrances and exits in other parts of the town, such as roads and alleys.

Obviously, in the excavation of the tunnel, Qiao Youhua took into account the various countermeasures that the devil might take, often the devil just found a tunnel entrance, and before he had time to blow it up, one or two smoking grenades flew out of it.

These time-delayed grenades exploded quickly before they hit the ground after flying out, blowing up those devil soldiers on the spot, killing and injuring them.

In some cases, the devils found the entrance to the tunnel in the house, and some dragon-toothed warriors came out of the ruins in the yard, armed with machine guns or grenades, and attacked them in a burst.

They were killed and wounded heavily, and in this kind of all-time, ubiquitous raid battle, the casualties of the devil soldiers increased dramatically, and the blow-up tunnels were even few, because the tunnels were all reinforced, and they could not be destroyed with a few grenades unless they were large explosive packs.

What's more, there is also a battalion of fighters who are attacking everywhere, constantly causing trouble for the devils, organizing them to search and destroy!

Qiao Youhua naturally understood the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, but Miura Toshishi did not expect it, so the devil's blockade plan was a complete failure.

After another hour, the casualty rate of the Japanese troops entering the village had reached 30 percent, which was a full casualties of one and a half squadrons, of which one squadron was killed.

Combined with the losses of the previous attack on the outer defensive line, the casualties of the 21st Brigade have now reached a staggering 500 people.

Among them, dozens of civilian houses near the southeast of the town were the areas where the officers and men of the first battalion blocked the most intense fire, and it was difficult for the Japanese troops to move an inch, because Jiang Haidong wanted to ensure the security of the flanks and rear of the outlying defense strongholds in the two directions southeast of the town.

As a last resort, the town will certainly not completely abandon the ground fortifications of the entire town.

When Toshiyoshi Miura received the news, he was furious on the spot, and ordered the attacking troops, who were already frightened, rumored, and full of soldiers, to withdraw from the town that they had finally captured, and retreat to the field defensive positions outside the town.

The artillery group of two wings of the 5th Brigade was then ordered to carry out a destructive shelling of the buildings in the town, with the intention of razing the entire town to the ground.

This time the artillery fire was still ongoing, and Qiao Youhua had already rushed to the south of the town with the guard company along the wet and dreary underground tunnel, and met Jiang Haidong and the others who were directing the soldiers to defend against the artillery.

This tunnel is relatively wide and can accommodate many people, Jiang Haidong temporarily uses this place as his temporary command room, the telephone line is unblocked, and he can also keep in touch with the various companies and platoons active in the tunnel network under the whole town.

Qiao Youhua's arrival shocked the morale of Jiang Haidong and the soldiers around him, although there was a constant rumbling and shaking of explosions from artillery bombardment.

Some of the dirt fell from time to time, but the spirits of the soldiers became excited, and the previous malaise was swept away, and they looked at Qiao Youhua eagerly.

Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong bumped their fists, this was the most direct greeting between their brothers, Qiao Youhua sat down and said while resting: "How about it, are there many casualties among the troops?" ”

"The casualties are okay, when the devil started shelling again just now, I just counted, the casualties of each company and platoon are not very large, and the biggest casualties are a company with a knife, more than half, there are no serious wounded, because all the seriously wounded are killed! Lightly wounded can continue to fight. Jiang Haidong said: "The strength is still around 990 people. ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "There are more veterans in the first company, they are all good-looking, well-known men, worthy of being the first company of my dragon's tooth elite!" ”

"Now that I've brought the guard company, do you have enough ammunition?" Qiao Youhua asked.

Jiang Haidong replied: "There are still about seventy percent of the ammunition, enough to use, what, there is a plan?" ”

"Well, it's going to be dark in a few hours, and I estimate that after this shelling, the devils may launch another attack, as long as they repel this attack, there will be no more fighting from today to tomorrow morning, and we can't let the devils sleep peacefully tonight.

At that time, thousands of soldiers in the whole battalion will attack from all over the place at the same time, and give the devils a night counterattack, and it is best to regain the positions lost during the day! Qiao Youhua nodded.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Haidong said.

"You don't have to worry about the lack of troops, before I came, I learned about the situation in Xiamagou Town, the devil's offensive against the second battalion has slowed down, it should be that the troops have been transferred to Erdaogouzi, and this is the main breakthrough, and the tunnel leading to the county seat in Magou Town is about to be repaired, and the second battalion can send troops to reinforce you at that time." Qiao Youhua said.
