Chapter 32 Bravely defend Gancheng
The city gate defended by the 2nd Battalion of the Standing Brigade of Ganyu County was the enemy's main direction of attack. A devil squad drove the puppet army to storm up, the Chinese army calmly hid on the city tower, the enemy approached, a storm of shooting, coupled with hail grenades and grenades, the devil and the puppet army screamed, did not dare to attack again, a little devil with the butt of the gun smashed the traitor, forced him to attack.
Song Jiliu, who supervised the war, saw it clearly, shook his hand and shot it, hitting this devil's head. The traitors, who were afraid of death, were taken aback, stepped on this dead devil, and desperately retreated.
The captain of the devil pig's head brigade saw it on the high pile behind, and was furious, and ordered howitzers, mortars, grenadiers, and machine guns to fire at the same time, covering the puppet army and the little devils to turn around and attack back. The onslaught of artillery fire hit the city gates, and a raging fire was ignited. The common people, officers and soldiers were busy extinguishing the fire with sand and soil, and the flames were so bright that they could not be extinguished for a while, and people were choked with breath. The enemy took advantage of this opportunity and stormed over.
The gates of Atsugi are blazing and threaten to be destroyed at any moment. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, everyone looked back, and couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, the old man Song Desen was running towards this side with a group of old men, wearing dripping cotton clothes and quilts, panting.
The blistered cotton clothes and the blistered quilts were covered by everyone in distress, and immediately made a squeaky sound, and then turned into wisps of white smoke, and the fire was extinguished.
Song Jiliu brought a large bag of potatoes-sized stones sprinkled with sulfur, buckled the eighty-eight-pound bag with a rope, grabbed one end of the rope, and turned the bag up in a 360-degree volley, and a dead "stone bullet" was poured on the enemy group, and the enemy who was caught off guard was thrown down a large piece, and the rest was burned by the sulfur and crawled to the ground.
Several attacks were frustrated, and Teng Ben, the captain of the pig-headed brigade, was furious. He ordered the siege to be suspended, summoned a few squadron leaders and puppet army leaders, and made them cry bloody. In order to kill the chicken and show the monkey, a puppet officer with poor command was shot on the spot, and ordered that the city of Ganyu must be captured before dark and the Chinese defenders must be eliminated. He pointed to the corpse of the pseudo-squadron leader lying in a pool of blood, and roared like thunder: "Anyone who can't retreat, he is the fate of you death-fearing ghosts!" ”
The endless wind and sand subsided, and a faint twilight rose on the Yellow Coast. All kinds of tenacious spring seedlings, facing the sunset, thrive.
The ancient and great Ganyu City, this mighty and unyielding fortress against the enemy, showers in the light of the setting sun, blooming with strange brilliance. The broken branches of the ginkgo biloba still raised its vigorous arms, as if to strangle the throat of the villains and wipe out all the invaders.
Smoke filled the city and outside, and red sparks burst from time to time...... Everything here is full of hatred and contempt for the invaders. Both sides were adjusting their deployments, and a kind of pre-war tension was tightly enveloping this ancient county town.
Zhu Aizhou asked Liu Jiping and Huang Nitou to find the battalion company commander and carefully arranged the task of breaking through. The deputy chief of staff of the regiment was assigned to lead a company to assist Song Desen and others in directing the transfer of the people. Officers and soldiers are nervously reinforcing the fortifications. Ordinary people are hurriedly burying food and other belongings. People do not feel sorry for the help of their army, but they are not willing to give the jackals the slightest useful item. Completely break the wishful thinking of the little devil to feed the war with war.
After a while, the cannon roared again, and howitzers, mortars, grenadiers and other shells continued to explode inside and outside the city one after another, and the enemy launched a general attack. Captain Tengben, the devil, made a big determination to break the net, and ordered the artillery squadron to fire together, and hit all the shells in Ganyu City, opening the way for the infantry squadron and the puppet army brigade to attack the city.
In addition, he ordered hundreds of little devils to form a dozen death squads to drive the traitor team and attack the city gate and the city wall damaged by shells. The rest of the descendants of the devils held machine guns and forced the devils and traitors to rush forward. The little devils and the puppet army were screaming and screaming, desperately pounced on them.
The traitors who were afraid of death were afraid of the machine gun bullets of the devils who supervised the battle, so they did not dare to take half a step back, and rushed into the main city gate and outflanked our main street position, trying to destroy our main force on the spot and take the golden key to enter the city. Zhu Aizhou stood at a high place to command the general battlefield height of the whole city, Song Jiliu led people to assist Huang Nitou to command the first battalion to block the attack of the frontal enemy, and Liu Jiping personally led the second battalion to counterattack another city gate and city wall that was blown up by shells.
As soon as the main attacking enemy showed up, Song Jiliu, who was lying in the trench, shook off his two guns and fired more than a dozen shots, one shot at a time, and the dozen or so little devils in front immediately met the king of Hades. The remaining enemies were so frightened that they fell to their stomachs and kept shooting into the sky. Once again, the enemy's offensive was thwarted.
Major General and Brigade Commander Zhu Aizhou, who was lying on the Wenfeng Pagoda and was directing the battle, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. He immediately understood that with the sharpshooter Boss Song here, he would not suffer a big loss. So, he shouted with confidence: "Heroes, beat me hard!" Boss Song and the hoe team have already arrived! ”
The shout was louder than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it overshadowed the roar of the guns, and it resounded through the sky. Almost at the same time, with a few gunshots, Zhu Jinzhou fell down from the Wenfeng Tower.
Gao Dapeng stepped forward and caught Zhu Aizhou, and a few drops of red blood flowed down Zhu Aizhou's shoulder. Zhu Aizhou broke free, his eyes widened, and he roared: "I don't want you to care, drag the enemy, and tell the people to move quickly!" ”
After Song Jiliu saw that his subordinates had rescued County Magistrate Zhu, he was relieved to lead people to rush into the enemy group again, only to see him firing at the enemy with both hands. The nineteen little devils in front were put down by him, and twenty-six puppet soldiers rushed up under the bayonets of the five Japanese devils. Jiliu raised his twin guns and brought down the nine enemies in front of him, and the other death-fearing ghosts only lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
At this time, there was a little ghost behind the puppet army holding a command knife, cutting down the retreating puppet army, when this guy completed the task of killing chickens to show the monkey, he was also sent back to his hometown by Jiliu with a shot. When Jiryu pulled the trigger on another little devil, the gun didn't go off. What is the reason for this? I'm out of bullets! So, Jiliu hurriedly took the ten flying knives on his body, and sent them to the six little devils and the four puppet soldiers with heartache, so that these bad things returned to their hometown early.
The good man Song Jiliu inserted the double guns into his arms, lifted the bag sprinkled with sulfur on the stones beside him, and used the trick taught by Master Tian Dali to throw it at the enemy group. Thirty-six of the enemy were stoned to death on the spot, and ninety-four other bad things were burning with brimstone, and were now rolling on the ground in their death throes......
When the battle for Ganyu City was at its most intense, the deputy tourism chief and brigade chief of staff sent by the Kuomintang were stationed around the county government in the northwest with three regiments, and drove the remnants of Liu Heiqi there, delaying the rescue of Ganyu City.
As a result, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the standing brigade and the cavalry directly under the brigade, which were short of ammunition, fought hard all day together with more than three times the enemy. Subsequently, Ganyu City was occupied by the little devils.
