Fengdian is only more than 30 miles away from Hekou Village, where the Second Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forestry Division is stationed at the front, so the 5th Company set out from Hekou Village and only half the way to hear the sound of artillery coming from the direction of Fengdian.

Wu Zijian was taken aback - he was about to go to the county town to surprise him, why did he actually fire a cannon over there!?

Soon, the enemy engineer team that had set off earlier was sent by the deputy captain to send Pegasus back to report urgently: before they could sneak into the county seat, a battle suddenly broke out in the area of Nancheng, and according to visual observation, it should be the troops of the national army who launched an attack and had already entered the city!

Wu Zijian couldn't help but fall to his feet and shouted: One step late, one step late!

This time, Li Tianlin's 5th Company, except for a platoon guarding the Guanmen Mountain Pass, was pulled out by Wu Zijian, and brought the Republic of China Type 20 82-mm mortar. Thinking that the surprise attack plan carefully planned by himself and Xiao Junping, the captain of the enemy workers, was ruined in one fell swoop, the deputy commander of the second battalion was distressed and chagrined.

"Deputy battalion commander, do we want to move on?" It was Li Tianlin who was questioning, and he also looked anxious and white-faced.

"Yes! Why not?! Wu Zijian hesitated for a moment and then said firmly: "The whole company sped up and told Chen Xuanzhu that if possible, take a few enemy workers into the city, and at least find out who is fighting the county seat for me!" ”

Chen Xuanzhu was the deputy captain of the enemy labor team, and he was originally a platoon leader in a platoon of Li Tianlin's 5th Company. Since Xiao Junping's leg injury had not yet healed, Wu Zijian resolutely did not agree to accompany him this time, and the enemy team was under the full command of Chen Xuanzhu. Wu Zijian handed over the four short guns that he could collect around him—himself, his personal communicator, and the barge guns of the chief and deputy commanders of the 5th Company—to the enemy engineering team. Xiao Junping's Browning high-power pistol had no more ammunition left, so he didn't give it to them.

"Do you see? The fighter plane is fleeting! Sending away the liaison officer of the enemy engineering team, Wu Zijian urged the company to continue to move quickly, and at the same time summarized to Li Tianlin: "We have just established the enemy engineering team, and we have found the information that the garrison of Fengdian County is empty, but someone is faster than us!" ”

"What kind of troops will it be? Does the national army still have any main forces in this area? ”

"I guess it may be that the original national army stationed in Fengdian County is losing ground in the counterattack," Wu Zijian, who calmed down, turned his mind quickly: "It won't be Yan Laoxi's 12th Brigade, they have already fled further south of our station-it should be the 391st Regiment of the Central Army!" ”

The four companies of the 391st Regiment entering the city are in full swing in Fengdian City at this moment.

In the process of attacking the west city gate, the 3rd company of the 1st battalion encountered a cavalry company of the puppet Mongolian army one after another, but the cavalry could not be used in the streets and alleys of the city, so it was almost crushed at the touch of a button; When the 3rd Company reached Xicheng, a small Japanese team guarding the city gate and the main force were ordered to rush to the county government, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers left behind were quickly annihilated by the 100 people of the 3rd Company one by one, and the West City Gate was declared to be recovered.

The 1st Company of the 1st Battalion was personally led by Qin Zhongxiao and ran to the East Gate; At the same time, a platoon of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion set out from the city wall of the South City Gate and approached the East City Gate Tower along the city wall ahead of the 1st, but they were resisted by the puppet Mongolian infantry on the city wall and the Japanese squad guarding the East City Gate, and the two sides launched a fierce attack and defense on the city wall. It wasn't until Qin Zhongxiao rushed to the east city gate with 1 company and launched a strong attack along the stairs of the city wall that the defenders began to retreat and retreated towards the north city gate. The east gate also followed to announce the reconquest, and the 1st Company opened the city gate to welcome the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, which had previously feinted outside the city, to enter the city.

Once upon a time, the 391st Regiment was expelled by the Japanese Otsuka Wing at this city gate, and now it has made a comeback, looking at the blue sky and red ground that was reinserted in the city, many officers and soldiers wept with joy.

Compared to the progress of the east and west lanes, the attack in the middle lane is more stale. The 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion, which was advancing along the main road in the city, engaged in a street battle with the troops of Fukudaoka, the Japanese captain who encountered it head-on.

And the spy company was the slowest to attack the Japanese headquarters of the county government. This is because Zhao Mutou's only five shell guns are not enough to take down the huge county government yard, and when the firecrackers and firecrackers in their hands are used up, the devil's reinforcements were killed in the west, and Zhao Mutou, who couldn't resist it, had no choice but to order a retreat and hid in the side street. Fortunately, not long after, the deputy commander of the special service company who was running in a hurry met Zhao Mutou with more than 20 people, and with *full Bergman*, Zhao Mutou roared, and took more than 40 subordinates like wolves and tigers to rush to the compound of the county government again.

Aso Nakasa received support from an infantry squad near the West City Gate, and finally stabilized the situation in the county government compound and took a breath; However, the news that came from the walkie-talkie one after another made the chest of the deputy commander of the Japanese army feel heavy and depressed: the three city gates of the south, east and west had been lost, and his remnants were retreating from the city wall to the north gate; Fukudaoka fought fiercely with the Shina army on the road near the south of the city, and gradually became overwhelmed; The only thing that has not been fighting so far is the North City Gate.

Aso wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was thinking about whether to reinforce Fukudaoka on the avenue, or order them to move closer to him and retreat to the north gate together—it was clear that the Shina army was attacking heavily this time, and the remaining troops in the city could barely support the position of the north gate at most. After receiving the telegram, the brigade headquarters in Wencheng showed no sign of sending troops to reinforce them: they probably had no troops to send there!

Suddenly, outside the gate of the courtyard, which had just been quiet for a while, a dense number of gunshots and explosions suddenly sounded again, and a senior soldier rushed into Aso's headquarters and shouted: Nakasa, the Shina soldiers are attacking again, this time they have strong firepower!

It is said that the firepower is strong, and it is the more than 40 branches of the 391st Regiment Special Service Company* and *. Zhao Mutou relied on the sophisticated equipment that had just been in place, led people out of the small street, and launched an attack on the county government compound like a storm, and the rain of bullets from Bergman* instantly beat several Japanese soldiers outside the gate of the compound into a sieve, and then, a platoon* flew into the courtyard.

Aso couldn't help but be shocked, judging by the gunfire outside, he realized that the comer was not good, and at this time, it was almost hopeless to lead a small team of men and horses to storm out from the main gate again. And, given that the three gates have been lost, more and more of the Chinese army will soon attack him! Thinking of this, Aso's scalp was numb, and he decisively ordered to withdraw from the back gate immediately, and at the same time used a walkie-talkie to notify Fukudaoka, who was still fighting fiercely in the south of the city, to also gather forces, including the cavalry of the Mongolian army, and retreat to the north gate.

Taking advantage of the moment when the soldiers guarding the courtyard wall exchanged fire and resistance with their opponents, Aso's subordinates hurriedly packed up important military materials such as radios, antennas, and documents, and began to flee through a small gate in the back; In a hurry, the deputy wing captain Nakasa also glanced at the woman in his room, she was still tied hands and feet, naked and curled up on the kang tip, but Aso no longer had the heart to take care of her.

Zhao Mutou's spy company finally attacked the county government.

The 391st Regiment captured the city one by one, but it was a hard defense in the southern city.

The main force of the squadron that came to the aid of the Futian Brigade from the Xiaoyushu Mountain Pass unscrupulously formed a formation in the southern suburbs of Fengdian, using an infantry curved artillery gun and nine grenadiers to bombard the left and right of the Fengdian South City Gate and the City Gate Tower.

According to the configuration, each squadron of the four squadrons of the Futian Brigade had two infantry curved guns (that is, Type 97 81-mm mortars) and two Type 92 heavy machine guns, as well as nine grenadiers and nine Taisho Type 11 light machine guns. At this moment, in order to rush to the aid of Fengdian, this squadron only left an infantry curved gun and a heavy machine gun in the mountain pass, and the rest were killed with the team.

On the other hand, in the southern city of Fengdian, the two platoons of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, which originally defended the city, plus the two platoons of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion, which retreated into the city in a hurry, only had two Czech-style light machine guns, and the rest were all rifles. The chief of staff of the 391st Regiment, who served as the commander, used a walkie-talkie to urgently inform the regiment commander, and at the same time ordered the officers and men of the four platoons to fight back desperately, and absolutely not to let this devil outside the city approach or even break the city.

At this time, the enemy engineer team of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Forestry Division was lurking less than three miles away from the south gate of Fengdian, and it could be clearly seen that more than 100 Japanese troops with their backs to them were firing at the southern head of Fengdian with large and small cannons and light and heavy machine guns at the south of Fengdian.

Chen Xuanzhu, the deputy captain of the enemy engineering team, has already sent people to Pegasus for the second time to report the main force of the 5th Company that is rushing here. Before he could get up, he witnessed the battle that suddenly broke out at the south gate, and from the uniforms of the large groups of men and horses that appeared one after another and entered the city, Chen Xuanzhu knew that this was the unit of the national army. He did not dare to make an assertion, and hurriedly sent someone to report back; When the news sent back by the deputy battalion commander ordered him to bring people into the city, the Japanese reinforcements arrived unexpectedly and fled into the city with a section of the Nationalist army that had been left outside the south gate and destroyed the telephone poles; Chen Xuanzhu had no choice but to continue to lurk, waiting for the decision of the main force behind.

Finally, Wu Zijian and Li Tianlin quietly came up with a few fighters.

Listening to the deputy captain of the enemy engineering team tell the general story of what happened, Wu Zijian crouched in the dry grass and watched the battle between the outside of the city and the head of the city with a telescope. He thought: This group of devils came out from the direction of Xiaoyushu Mountain, it seems that it should be Wencheng's reinforcements, but Wencheng is dozens of miles away from Fengdian, and from the perspective of time, it will not be Wencheng's devils; That is, they were stationed in Little Elm Mountain, not far from the county seat. It's just that the devil will have other reinforcements coming?

Li Tianlin couldn't hold it anymore, the Japanese army was attacking Fengdian City with all its might, and he didn't realize that there was already lurking behind him, and this was a good opportunity to launch a surprise attack on it.

"Deputy battalion commander, there are only about a hundred and ten devils, let's go to five platoons together, and one charge can beat them down!"

Listening to the impatient invitation of the commander of the 5th company, Wu Zijian finally made up his mind, he had already seen the mortars and heavy machine guns owned by the Japanese army from the telescope - looking at the appearance, the mortar should be the 97-type 81-millimeter mortar mentioned by the artillery squad leader Zhao Yejiao, and the heavy machine gun is undoubtedly the 92-type mortar! He concealed from the battalion commander and the instructor to mobilize the people, and originally came for the two heavy weapons and ammunition deployed at the head of Fengdian City, but unexpectedly the brothers of the national army took the lead; But another devil appeared outside the city with these two identical guys, which is better than a coincidence! At this moment, if the back attack is successful, you don't even need to enter the city gate to capture those two big guys!

Dry!
