When the day dawned, the small group of devils and puppet army and puppet organization left behind by Ma Tou retreated to the artillery towers and courtyards of the puppet county government, imagining that the enemy from the various strongholds would come to reinforce them, and they kept pumping gas canisters, poisonous gases, and smoke from the fire that burned the houses, turning Tancheng into a world of smoke

The enemy from all the strongholds came to reinforce them, but they were all beaten back

"Boom, boom...... Oh, "This is the masterpiece of the engineering troops, and the artillery tower was blown into a big hole, and more than 200 puppet regime personnel poured out like water bursting the embankment, shouting, "Welcome to the Eighth Route Army."

As they ran, the Japanese officers on the turret opened fire on them, killing two of them, but they couldn't stop their passion to return to their homeland

There was another loud bang of the earth cracking like a volcanic eruption, splitting the turret in half, rocks flying in the air, and the devils on the turret, in addition to those who were crushed to death, were taken prisoner

There was also an umbrella-shaped flare floating over the enemy's turret, which was a signal for urgent help when the turret was about to explode, but the reinforcements outside the city had to look at this signal in a hurry, because there were countless iron arms outside the city to repel their charge again and again

The enemy's reinforcements from outside the city, from the new town of Matou, tried again and again to rush into the city, but they were all repulsed by our reinforcements

Reinforcements are necessary, and without them, the troops in the city will not be able to safely deal with the enemy

At this point, near the outer trenches, there were a few small houses, and the warriors were in ambush, and they were waiting for the battle in fidgety, and at the first order, they would bravely rush out and fight the enemy to the death

When the time for the attack finally came, Deputy Company Commander Chen Chaoshan said to everyone: "Comrades, what is in front of you is Tancheng, open Tancheng, and ask all of us to open a bloody road with one heart, and victory is ours."

"Good way," said the commander of our heroic Eighth Route Army, "there is a turret between the south gate tower and the southeast blockhouse, which is flanked on both sides, and this is the direction of our attack, but in any case, to climb the enemy's wall, you must first cross a wide and deep trench......

At this moment, the artillery of the 115th Division of our Eighth Route Army roared angrily, and both shells fell accurately on the small turret, and the enemy was in great confusion among the casualties, and then the light and heavy machine firearms of the old Sixth Regiment also fired, and the raging rain of bullets was violently sprinkled on the enemy, and when it was time to build the bridge, the comrades in a platoon rushed out

Hou Dianjing and Sun Jiguo, soldiers of the Sixth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, walked in the forefront, each carrying a ladder, and behind them were soldiers Sun Xianxing, Wang Minghua, Yang Zaide, and others

They carried the heavy ladder bridge, braved the enemy's artillery fire, and the lord ran forward, Hou Dianjing was the first to jump down the trench, and Sun Jiguo also jumped bravely, and they raised the ladder with agile movements

At that moment, the enemy's grenades fell, and Hou Dianjing kicked them away, and the bombs fell one by one, and they threw them aside, let the bombs explode next to them, and climbed the ladder desperately

A grenade flew down and happened to hit Wang Baoyin's buttocks, so he closed his eyes and waited for the last moment to come, but this grenade didn't go off He broke out in a cold sweat The other one flew down and landed next to Yang Quan's side The grenade that didn't sound sparked from the handle Yang Quanda's cotton clothes were on fire, and a row of deputy Zhang Yuyi beside him immediately extinguished it for him

The enemy desperately threw grenades and exploded up and down the trenches, and there were a lot of gas bombs in them, and the poison gas penetrated the mouths and noses of the soldiers, but the enemy never thought of it again, and not a single soldier flinched, and although he could not withstand the stimulation of the poison gas, he coughed and wept, but the heavy ladder bridge was finally built, which was really hard for the enemy to believe: the trench, which was nearly two feet wide and deep, lost its "great" role at this critical moment

In the midst of the enemy's shrapnel flying, under the smoke of grenades, the action of the battle continued, and the comrades who had set up the ladder rushed up

Walking in front were Yu Changgui and An Shengdi, who carried the ladder at both ends, followed by Zhang Defu and Sun Qibin, and Fang Zhaoqi in the middle...... Regardless of the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, they set up a heavy ladder safely, and countless enemy grenades exploded right around them......

Just as he was crossing the bridge, Zhang Yishun, the leader of the ninth squad, also fell down the trench, but as soon as he landed, he immediately sobered up: he should immediately go back to the top, so he climbed a big rope on the bridge and rose from below, and when he climbed up, he didn't want any comrades to fall down again, so he didn't hesitate to grab the foot of the bridge, so that every comrade in the commando team rushed through the rain of bullets safely, and he grabbed the foot of the bridge tightly

The enemy went from terror to terror, to almost madness, and they seemed to close their eyes of despair, and they threw all the grenades out indiscriminately from the holes in the turrets, from the battlements in the walls

Hundreds of grenades exploded, shrapnel flew around the soldiers, the smoke of gunpowder swallowed everything, the soldiers lost their nearest sight, and a fierce resonance sounded in their ears In such a situation, who could not be shocked But the soldiers did not panic at all In the thick fog of iron and fire, the final battle began The commando charged

On the west side of the bridge, on the flat ground less than a meter between the city wall and the trench, was Comrade Hao Shengjin, deputy of the third platoon of my Eighth Route Army, who clung to a ladder and watched the assault of the fifth squad fly up from his head like a tiger one by one

I saw that Comrade Wu Xingzhong, the leader of the fifth squad of the Eighth Route Army, was crossing the bridge and rolled into a ditch with a crooked step, and behind him was Comrade Zhang Guilin, a soldier

Wu Xingzhong shouted: "Go on"

Zhang Guilin took the lead and rushed through the trench, and the people behind followed, and only two steps in front was the ladder erected by the comrades of the ladder group, and the grenades exploded at the foot of the ladder, and several by one Comrade Zhang Guilin remembered that he also brought a "meeting gift" to the enemy in the city, and sent one to the enemy in time, and several puppet soldiers were blown up on the spot by his grenades

And then he climbed up the ladder, and as soon as he stepped on the ladder, he threw another grenade at the top of the city, and as he climbed, he threw down two more, and the fire behind him covered just in time, and he blocked the enemy from the upper floor

Comrade Zhang Guilin, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, climbed to the top of the ladder, and when he heard the first comrade behind him rolling down amid the sound of thick gunfire, he had to shout backwards: "Save people."

At this time, Guilin's two hands had already grasped the battlements, and he quickly turned his body up, and the enemy in the watchtower was fleeing from the door, and the first thing he did after going up was to block the door of the watchtower, and the enemy on the city wall was also running around, but a guy in the dark shadow was bent over, carrying a gun, and holding a big thing, and hurriedly walked towards the watchtower, Zhang Guilin, a grenade hit down, and the guy fell down with the things in his hand, but he got up again, turned his head and ran, and the thing he was holding was a grenade scattered all over the ground At the same time, the gun on his shoulder also fell to the ground

Comrade Zhang Guilin ran to pick up the gun, and hurriedly saw that it was a big-bellied box, turned on the big nose, and then fired five rounds to the west, and the enemies on the city wall all ran to the cannon tower one meter away to the west

The comrades in the back, because they were hindered by the sacrificial comrade rolling down the ladder, also rushed up, including deputy platoon commander Yan Jiangeng, deputy squad leader Geng Jinyu, and soldiers Wang Baoyin, Sun Jiliang, and other comrades

When Chen Guang, commander of the Eighth Route Army, saw this, he put down his binoculars, raised his pistol, and shouted: "Comrades, rush."
