Autumn 1940, August 20.

The sky was dark, the moon was covered by thick clouds, the mist was thick, and the earth seemed to be covered, and the light rain was falling all the time, and the air was gradually filled with layers of murderous smells.

Under the continuous encroachment and crazy sweep of the devils in the anti-Japanese base behind the enemy, the situation is difficult to open, and there are countless battles large and small, but there are almost no real big victories, which makes the situation difficult to open, so several bosses have been brewing for a long time and planning this battle of 100 regiments. This is the first major offensive operation to enter the war of resistance behind enemy lines, it mobilizes all the forces in the whole of North China, it will deal a heavy blow to the devils, it will give a loud mouth to those who think that the Eighth Route Army is "guerrilla but not attacking", and he will have an important impact on the anti-Japanese situation in the whole country.

Niangziguan Station is located about 1.5 kilometers west of Niangziguan Chengguan, southeast of Mohetan Village, is one of the most important strongholds of Zhengtai Road, the garrison is the devil's mixed fourth L fifteenth brigade, the fourth squadron, and there is also an artillery squadron, a machine gun squadron, about 150 people, its firepower configuration is 2 70 mm infantry guns, 2 81 mm mortars, 14 grenadiers, 3 heavy machine guns, 10 light machine guns.

This is the first hard bone to be gnawed off by the old fifth regiment, and the soldiers of the old fifth regiment have also made careful arrangements for this.

At 20:00, in the anxious anticipation of the soldiers, the moment finally arrived.

With the order of Mr. P, countless signal flares rose into the air, and in an instant, the Zhengtai Line was reflected red by artillery fire, and the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War, which had been brewing for a long time, officially kicked off.

The first round of artillery fire fell on the fortifications outside the station without warning, but unfortunately because the fortifications were too strong, they did not have much impact on the garrison.

Chen Zulin, the regiment commander in charge of the command, raised his eyebrows after taking a look at the bombed fortifications, and then clenched his fists, because the devil's fortifications were far stronger than he imagined.

But what about being strong, the Eighth Route Army will not retreat because of difficulties, he put down his binoculars and said, "One battalion will attack, and five companies will cover with firepower." ”

"Yes!" The herald took the order.

It didn't take long for the shouts of soldiers to be heard from the front, followed by the roar of enemy machine guns, and then the soldiers fell in rows as if they were cutting wheat.

Although he was prepared, Chen Zulin still felt that his heart was pinched.

Seeing that he had just been suppressed by the attack, Chen Zulin couldn't help but scold, "Damn, what are the five companies doing to eat, didn't they have ammunition for them?" How did this machine gun fire like a pee. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the guards beside him, "Go, tell Wulian, don't fucking buckle and rope, give labor and management a hard beating, make it hard!" ”

"Yes!"

Pick up the binoculars again and observe the situation on the battlefield.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two consecutive shots of the 92 guns accurately hit a heavy machine-gun position, and although the continuous explosions did not cause much damage to the fortifications, they smashed the position to a dumb fire.

Having lost the suppression of a heavy machine gun, the pressure of the charging battalion plummeted.

There are many veterans of the Fifth Regiment, and of course they will not miss this fleeting opportunity, and even they took the initiative to get up and charge forward with their guns without the battalion commander's order.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Then four mortar shells in a row rose into the air and landed on the positions of the devils, smashing down two light machine guns.

Looking at the precise strike of the artillery fire, Chen Zulin slapped his thigh vigorously, "! Nine two guns hit two, mortars four shots two hits! What good things did our artillery company eat today, and how did it hit so accurately? ”

"Lao Chen, have you forgotten? Zhao Gang, who commanded the artillery company today? Political Commissar Xiao Feng said.

"Zhao Gang? If you don't mention it, I forgot, it was Political Commissar Zhao who fired today. Chen Zulin read a sentence, the tense expression on his face was relieved a little, and then said leisurely, "People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." (End of chapter)
