Early in the morning, facing the drizzle, the officers and men were digging fortifications in the vicinity of Jiangjia Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, in accordance with Liu Jiping's requirements. They wielded pickaxes and shovels, and after a short while, they were sweating profusely, and some of their handles were grinding into big blisters. Wang Zichang, the logistics officer of the brigade, wiped his sweat while digging the soil, and said softly in his mouth: "If you kill devils, go and kill them hard!" Why spend all this energy in this useless ravine! ”

The logistics personnel are indeed laymen when it comes to fighting and digging trenches; In the past, they used shovels to load grain, dustpans to harvest rice, and choose vegetables, but now they are piling up stones and dirt, digging ditches before the guns go off, wasting their energy and time in vain.

Zhu Aizhou, the county magistrate, saw the bad signs, so he smiled and said: "Sweat more before the war, shed less blood during the war, give me a good job!" Officers and soldiers, I, Zhu, will not let everyone do their thankless! After a while, everyone will know the benefits of doing something now! ”

Zhu Aizhou walked forward along the trench, and he saw that at the foot of a small hill, Deputy Brigade Commander Guo was already directing the guard company to dig a machine-gun trench with a small eye. He knew that the deputy brigade commander's mood here was ambivalent, because since he came to the brigade, he had always kept an eye on the progressive officers and soldiers in the brigade, and he also watched Zhu Aizhou himself very closely, for fear that this standing brigade would be pulled away by the Chinese communists.

In the afternoon of the same day, during the transfer of troops, the deputy brigade commander knocked down the two devil soldiers caught by the hoe team with two shots in order to show that he had actually taken them down.

Zhu Aizhou, the county magistrate, criticized him for not killing prisoners of war, and it must not be a bad thing to leave these two Japanese soldiers behind and put them back in the future. Deputy Brigade Commander Guo said angrily: "It's not a good thing either!" Put it back?! So many Chinese soldiers and civilians have died at their hands, how are these two murderers who kill without blinking an eye who are qualified to go back alive?! Lord Ryoza, you're not leaving a way out for yourself, are you? ”

County Magistrate Zhu knew that he was a bad guy sent by Jiangsu Province to spy on him, he was a person with a background, and he was a villain with evil intentions. This guy deliberately shot and killed those two unlucky Japanese guys in order to cut off all the back roads of the Ganyu County Standing Brigade. This time to defend the county government station, Deputy Brigade Commander Guo, who had ulterior motives, volunteered and asked to master a few machine guns.

This deputy brigade commander also wanted to show his hand in front of everyone and show his majesty. Liu Jiping, Song Jiliu, Xu Yunduo, Qi Wanhong and others were no exception to ask for machine guns, because this kind of fight quenched their thirst and enjoyment, and at the same time, the hoe team also entered the battle with both long and short guys.

Brigade Commander Zhu Aizhou and Chief of Staff Qiao Jinting both particularly trusted the hoe team, and in order to play a "balance" role, they confidently agreed to these people's requests to shoot machine guns. Fierce battles are about to begin, and the best weapons should be in the hands of the best personnel.

Zhu Aizhou walked to Liu Jiping's side, where Liu Jiping was putting a brand-new machine gun on the edge of the trench, lying in the trench by himself, holding the machine gun to rotate around and aim, to see if it was the best strafing angle.

Under the guns of the heroes, there were no pedestrians in the distance of the hill, because after receiving the information that the enemy was coming to attack, Zhu Aizhou had already called someone to inform the local people to move to the mountain, one was afraid that the battle would start and the innocent people would be injured; Moreover, they are afraid that they will be used as shields by the Japanese puppet army. Now not far away on the opposite side there were only enemy cavalry patrolling back and forth on the avenue. In the distant villages, there are countless heads shaking, which is the preparation of the villains before the battle.

Qi Wanhong pointed to the machine-gun trench and said to Zhu Aizhou with a smile: "Brigade Leader, do you think it's okay?" ”

"It's okay!" Zhu Aizhou measured the length and width of the trench with his steps, nodded and said, "How do you feel?" Have you adjusted your mind? ”

"I've been preparing big peanuts for a long time! I'm afraid that the little devil won't be able to eat it! Qi Wanhong happily pointed to the open in front of him and said, "I'll put all the little devils here and let them bleed like a river......

Zhu Aizhou knew Qi Wanhong's temper, and he didn't need to encourage him more, he would fight with his life. Because in his heart as a major general, everyone in the hoe team is a character who never shows mercy to the bad guys. Zhu Aizhou saw that Nakaguchi, a member of the Chinese hoe team of Japanese nationality, also set up a light machine gun not far away, and walked over.

"Mr. Nakaguchi! Is your body recovering well? ”

"It's okay!" Zhongkou put up the machine gun in a charging posture to confess to Zhu Aizhou that he was a fierce person. He said: "If you run and fire with this light machine gun, you may not be able to last long, but if you want to fight in this trench, it will not be a problem for me to lie down and fight for three nights and two days!" I'm going to fight the war with concrete actions, so let these peanuts help me advise the militants now! ”

When the sun was in the west, a sudden swishing sound sounded, and a thunderous explosion sounded: "Tong!" All! All of them! "The shells fell one after another on Weijialing Village, the temporary seat of the Kuomintang Ganyu County Government, and several villages around it, and flowers bloomed on the top of the village, setting off black columns of smoke, and then a large fire broke out. The ground of the village was shaken. When the officers and men of the Chinese Ganyu Standing Brigade were staring at the flying shells, Zhu Aizhou shouted urgently: "Prepare to fire, the enemy is coming." ”

Song Jiliu's eyes widened, and in front of the gunsmoke, he saw dozens of war horses of the devil rushing towards this side. He was aiming with a machine gun, and the Japanese puppet army was only 20 meters away, and Zhu Aizhou shouted in his ear: "Hit, hit me hard!" ”

The machine gun in his hand was roaring. The spear shook in his arms, and his eyes widened and his face tensed, and he swept towards the rushing cavalry. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns in the nearby area also fired, and rifles rang out. In the sudden rain of bullets, the little devils fell off their horses one after another, several war horses were killed, and a few "eggs" were planted in a row. The first attack of the Japanese puppet army was repulsed.

Although the enemy temporarily retreated, the gunfire on both sides did not stop, and the gunfire of several surrounding villages also rang out, and it seems that the enemy also launched an attack in other villages, and suffered the same fate.

The heavy machine guns set up by the little devils on the high ground in the distance also swept over, and the stones and soil were dusty, like a shower, crackling, and Lu Shan trembled in the sound of the cannons. Weijialing Village and its surrounding villages were shrouded in the smoke of gunfire, which wafted through the fields and filled the smell of gunpowder.

After a while, the enemy organized hundreds of horses and rushed to this side.

Xu Yunduo and Qi Wanhong's heavy machine guns crossed and strafed the enemy's horses, although five, ten, and twenty horses were overturned, and the devils planted their horses one after another, just as Qi Wanhong said to the county magistrate Zhu, the enemy was bleeding like a river, but the lucky cavalry still rushed forward like arrows, more than a dozen horses fell into the crater, and the Japanese puppet army got up from the ground with a roar, and Zhu Aizhou commanded them to use grenades to level them out. The second attack of the Japanese puppet army was again driven away.

Chief of Staff Qiao Jinting and Director Liu Jiping commanded officers and soldiers in the north to also repel two enemy attacks. The Japanese puppet army was so angry with the stubborn position in this direction that it was about to go crazy, so they concentrated most of their artillery fire on this area and bombarded it indiscriminately. Heavy machine guns swept across the trenches like a typhoon, smashing the dense groves to the ground, and then cutting off most of the trunks by the falling shells.

Nakaguchi was buried by most of the dirt around him, he suddenly got up from the soil, wiped the mud on his face, and immediately set up another machine gun, lying in the shell crater and swept at the attacking Japanese puppet army. Qiao Jinting's voice sounded in his ears: "Everyone have to calm down!" Hit hard! Now is the perfect time to avenge the revenge of the compatriots who were killed by the little devils! ”

Under his call, the officers and men fought more vigorously. They have been fighting with the attacking Japanese puppet army for most of the day, beating the villains countless times, and never letting the invaders get close to the fortifications.
