Although Jiang Tiezhang only put one brigade on the south bank, because of the terrain of Tietou Peak, it was very convenient to learn the unique "grenade tactics" of the guerrillas from the Seventh Brigade, so relatively speaking, there was almost no suspense in the battle on the south bank. The 7th Brigade of Xueqi only charged and routed the vanguard of the Japanese army. Next, with the support of the mortar battalion, they launched an attack on the more than 2,000 devils gathered at the south end of the chain bridge.

The battle on the North Shore was tough from the start. Although the Japanese army was taken by surprise, because its main force had been assembled at the north end of the chain bridge, after the first ten minutes, Shinkura Yinong stabilized the situation, not only withstood the attack of the Ninth Brigade, but also began to launch a counterattack along the way it came, and soon formed a situation of besieging the Eighth Brigade with about 3,000 devils who were behind. Shinkura Yinong actually had two choices at this time - to the south or to the north, and he resolutely chose to go north because the only artillery brigade was in a bitter battle at this time.

Jiang Tietou's choice of timing for his attack was very ingenious. The Devil's Artillery Brigade received the order of Xincang Yinong and just wanted to start on the spot, he issued an order to attack, and more than 200 reconnaissance battalion cadets climbed up from under the embankment of the Guantang River, which was only 30 or 50 meters away from them, and under a volley, most of the Japanese artillery was annihilated. By the time the infantry brigade of the Japanese artillery guards outflanked them from the front and rear, they had already rushed into the ranks of the Japanese artillery, and relied on the cover of the artillery and the military cards that dragged the artillery, and fought a street battle with the little devils.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour, and the artillery of the little devil was slaughtered by Jiang Tietou's reconnaissance battalion, and the Eighth Brigade, which was responsible for cutting off the main force of the Japanese army, also suffered huge casualties because of the enemy on both sides. Field battles, melees, and the absence of strong fortifications made the guerrillas, accustomed to ambushes and sneak attacks, very uncomfortable. Of course, they had the advantage in their weapons, but when the little devils spread all over the mountains, the casualties of the guerrillas inevitably appeared.

Xincang Yinong was very decisive, he let the Ninth Brigade in the southeast go alone, and only insisted on attacking the Eighth Brigade, so there was such a situation - fighting, the main battlefield moved from the north end of the Zhangyang Iron Chain Bridge to Guantang Village. In the field at the east end of the village, the Eighth Brigade laid a large number of mines. These mines were originally designed to protect the villagers of Guantang Village, but now they have become a cliff that changes the direction of the devil's attack. After a devil stepped on a mine, the Japanese army moved north from Guantang Village, and then deviated from the road from which it came, and directly pressed up from the south of the Eighth Brigade.

The battlefield shifted and expanded indefinitely, the Japanese army's local strength advantage was magnified, the individual soldier quality of the devils and the range and accuracy advantages of the 38 Dagai were also expanded, and the Eighth Brigade was outnumbered and began to suffer huge casualties. After another quarter of an hour or so, Luan Shan saw that the Ninth Brigade could not attack for a long time, and was worried that the main force of the Japanese army would bypass himself and rescue the artillery unit, so he reported the battle situation to Jiang Tiezhang and asked for support, and at the same time divided the more than 1,800 people in his hands into two teams, and he personally led more than 800 of them to resist the attack of the main force of the Japanese army, and asked the chief of staff Zhang Yifan to lead the others to attack the devils who were dragging behind, hoping to cooperate with the reconnaissance battalion to destroy all the Japanese artillery first.

The troops behind the Japanese army consisted of two brigades and one artillery brigade. The devils of the artillery brigade had been almost killed by the reconnaissance battalion at this time, and the infantry brigade responsible for protecting it still had more than 600 people at this time. Jiang Tietou saw that there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, and there were less than 100 people left in the more than 200 people, and the devil's attack was becoming more and more aggressive, so he became more and more anxious, and finally made a decision: to break through immediately after blowing up these cannons.

There was no difficulty in exploding the artillery, and 12 of the 14 artillery pieces of the Japanese army were field guns of 75 mm caliber. For this field artillery, a grenade thrown through the mouth of the barrel will solve the problem. As for the heavy artillery of that hundred and fifty mm caliber, cluster grenades can also be solved. It was only after paying the price of five brothers to blow up ten field guns that the Japanese offensive became fierce, obviously, they realized the danger of the reconnaissance battalion's bombing operation, and did not want the remaining four guns to be blown up. The two heavy guns were at the back of the artillery array, and they were originally the key blasting targets of Jiang Tietou, but now they have become the key objects of contention for the Japanese army. Jiang Tietou launched three bombing operations in a row, but they were all repelled by the devils, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

At this time, Huang Zhongming, whose face was cut by a bullet and broke his face, flashed over and said to him: "Boss, there are still two cannons over there, why don't we use cannons**?!" ”

This sounded quite awkward, and Jiang Tietou didn't understand it for a while. He was blinking his eyes and staring at Huang Zhongming, when Meng Taishan on the side retracted his body and said, "Good idea!" I got it! ”

Ten of the twelve field guns were blown up, and two were located on the embankment near the Guantang River, where the reconnaissance battalion was the first to capture, and at this time became the edge of the battlefield.

The two of them didn't wait for Jiang Tietou's approval, and ran over. And after seeing the two of them running behind the two cannons, Jiang Tietou finally understood the meaning of Huang Zhongming's words. He immediately shouted to his brothers: "Cover them!" Then the body flashed out of the military card where he was hiding, first throwing a grenade, and then with a sudden burst, forcing the little devil back behind the scrapped military card where he was hiding.

Over there, Huang Zhongming and Meng Taishan stabbed open a shell box with a bayonet, he first picked up a cannonball, and said to Meng Taishan: "Brother Meng, teach me **!" ”

I don't know if Lu Dao is the reason why he is more knowledgeable, although Huang Zhongming has not joined the student army for a long time, he has learned things very quickly. At the moment, both assault rifles and machine guns play very well.

The situation is urgent, and Meng Taishan is not hypocritical. He removed the tarp from a field cannon and said, "No problem. You remember, before you can do it, you first have to fix the gun emplacement. Now that the situation is urgent, we won't fix the gun position - well, this hinge can do a certain thing. ”

Fourteen cannons, all towed by military trucks, with the muzzles all facing backwards, and the two heavy cannons at the rear, just in the direction of the field artillery. Meng Taishan operated the crank, shook the angle of the gun barrel downwards at a large angle, then opened the fire door, took the shell from Huang Zhongming's hand and stuffed it directly, closed the fire door, pulled the gun rope and said: "The first test shot, look at it!" "After saying that, he pulled the cannon rope violently." With a bang, the cannon body of the gun slammed backwards violently, and almost at the same time, a ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and a ball of fireball flew out, which exploded in an instant two hundred meters away.

This shell was a little far away from the target heavy artillery, but it happened to hit a military truck, and after the explosion, several devils hiding behind the military truck were blown up and killed, which made Meng Taishan very embarrassed, and he grinned and said: "It's too much!" ”
