One regiment attacks one gun tower, which is simply no matter the cost. For the Japanese, they cannot find the main force of the Chinese army when they are clearing out the Chinese army in the occupied area. This time, the Japanese East China Headquarters is very worried about the Chinese army who came to the door on their own initiative.

I received the news soon and was overjoyed. I issued orders to the Japanese troops from all over the country, and the Japanese soldiers began to gather in the small Lijiabu.

The puppet army on the opposite side had a very strong fighting capacity, which was very different from the puppet army Li Yuan encountered. The puppet army exchanged fire with the national soldiers.

The puppet officers fired rows of random shots at the National Army positions, followed immediately by the Japanese's crooked machine guns, and bullets rained down in a mess towards the dark National Army positions to the south.

The national army's machine guns and rifles were not polite and methodically fired at the Japanese and puppet army positions, and they responded in kind. For a while, the rifles and machine guns rang out in a chaotic manner.

The Japanese grenadier soldiers were not wiped out in the first wave of attacks. At this time, they continued to fire artillery shells at the national army positions.

Faced with the situation of being ambushed, the Japanese and puppet troops did not panic. They actually launched an attack in an orderly manner with excitement. Normally, these guerrillas could not be found even if they were chasing after them.

"Brother Li, this battle is fought by the national army. It's not good for us to get involved like this." Chen Yong and Li Yuan, who were hiding in the trench, looked at the Japanese and puppet troops who were firing in the distance.

"They are all fighting blindly now. Listen, Commander Liu has already arranged to attack the gun towers. They have cannons. It is estimated that they will take down the gun towers soon. They will blow up the bridge and then dig the road. If

I guessed right, soon, the national army’s artillery will bombard the Japanese and puppet army’s positions, so why are you so anxious? We’ll talk about it later.”

The two men and their soldiers had moved some 200 meters westwards, but no shots were fired, and the Japanese and puppet troops did not greet them this way.

In the darkness to the east of the open space, Commander Liu's battalion launched an attack formation, without firing a single shot, and used the darkness to approach the Japanese and puppet army positions.

The little battalion commander watched nervously as the soldiers advanced. The Japanese had set up an outpost in the fields to the east. If they tried to get there, they would definitely exchange fire with the Japanese outpost.

The skirmishers advancing along the fields concealed themselves and bypassed the Japanese outposts, quickly advancing northward.

In the dark night, through the light from the muzzle flames of the Japanese's guns, one could only vaguely see a few meters away. The soldiers who were walking and looking around had almost reached the 200-meter position and were in contact with the Japanese outpost.

In the darkness, a Czech light machine gun was mounted on a small ridge. The machine gunner lay behind the machine gun, looking at the muzzle flashes from the Japanese and puppet army positions opposite.

Bullets flew in a mess toward the south with eye-catching trajectories. After a little accuracy, he pressed the trigger.

The same few machine gun flames swept towards the Japanese machine gun positions. The battle was fierce. The Chinese machine gunners were still firing bursts. The Japanese and puppet army's machine gun positions were attacked and all went silent.

There were more than 50 soldiers in the National Army's forward commando team. Their shouts of killing alerted the Japanese. The Japanese infantry had already started shooting to the east. Regardless of the fact that there were still Japanese soldiers here, the charging commandos immediately lay down on the ground and fired at the Japanese and puppet troops.

There were only two three-man teams at the Japanese outpost, and they were quickly dealt with when the national army charged over.

Chen Yong felt very bored. He was enjoying the fight on the battlefield, but the support team could not rush in and could only hide behind and watch the fun.

There was a muffled bang, and a bright spot climbed high into the night sky, then suddenly released white light, began to burn, trailed a gorgeous trail, and began to descend lightly.

The Japanese used a grenade to fire a flare, illuminating a large open field on the east side, which was completely white. The sudden bright light blinded both sides.

A large number of National Army soldiers were exposed to the sight of the Japs squad leader. The Japs' machine guns were suppressed. Other Japs quickly rushed to the machine gun positions. Before they could fire, the National Army rifles that had been highlighted were fired at the machine gun positions with the help of flares.

It was a hail of bullets.

Before the illumination bombs landed, the fierce gunfire became louder. The Japanese troops fired illumination bombs again, and again and again, one grenade after another was fired into the night sky.

The Japanese grenades continuously fired grenades, which fell into the Nationalist position, exploding into a muddy rain and carrying the bodies of some Nationalist soldiers as they rose high and fell again.

A few seconds later, there was a roar and a flash of explosions in the trench at the end of the ditch.

When the light from the flare disappeared and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again, the Japanese grenadier soldiers did not stop firing grenades. By observing when the illumination was on, relying on memory and feeling, the grenades rushed out of the barrel one after another.

There were bursts of fire on the national army's position, and the soil was shaking desperately. Large areas of mud were swept up, and then turned into crisscrossing mud rain. In the darkness, they continuously fell from the sky and fell into the trenches.

The helmet kept banging, and nothing could be seen. Only the occasional shrill moans could be heard in the black trench.

"I'll go over and take a look. You'll get a shuttle for the Japanese in a while." Li Yuan finished explaining to Chen Yong, then he picked up the machine gun and ducked eastward into the darkness, preparing to go to the small soil bag position.

Li Yuan ran to the earthbag in one breath, jumped into the trench, took a few breaths, stuck his head out, mounted the machine gun, and quietly pointed at the Japanese position where only rifles were firing.

Li Yuan was lying at the bottom of the trench. The sky above his head was pale. There were screams of bullets hitting the ground everywhere. There were constant explosions and flashes of grenades fired by Japanese soldiers near the trench. He twisted his neck and raised his head, but was blinded by illumination bombs.

Everything else was a ball of white light and nothing could be seen.

The national army had already merged with the Japanese, and it had become a positional battle. In this case, the Japanese, who were nearly half outnumbered, had the upper hand.

A platoon of an independent company can ambush a Japanese squad and win completely. This is because of the terrain advantage. Even Li Yuan would be blinded on such flat ground.

Da da da? Chen Yong's machine gun rang out, and several of the machine guns of the newly organized Japs went silent again.

The national soldiers lying in the trench did not miss this opportunity and launched a charge under the leadership of a company commander. When the soldiers of the east battalion saw the roar of killing on the west side of the road, the battalion commander immediately ordered the charge.

Upon seeing this, the national army command blew the charge horn and killed hundreds of people who had already sacrificed their lives.

The remaining six to seven hundred people simultaneously launched a charge against the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops were originally small in number, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the situation was not good, the squad leader made a decisive decision and ordered a retreat to the north.

The Nationalist soldiers, who had been fighting for half a night, chased after the Japanese puppet troops, shouting excitedly, and the gunfire was chaotic in the dark night, until they reached the outside of Changxing City. The Japanese machine guns on the city wall were too threatening. Although the Nationalist soldiers were unwilling to give in, they still

No way.

He exchanged fire with the Japanese who were guarding the city wall, and opened fire at the machine gun position on the opposite wall without showing any signs of weakness. In an instant, the fire spread out, like stars in the sky, and a hail of bullets rushed towards the city wall and hit the Japanese machine gun position, which did not stop them.

Got hit by a few ghosts.

Attacking the city without heavy artillery would mean death. The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse. The Nationalist soldiers left behind the rear troops while other troops evacuated southward.

The Japanese artillery tower has been set up and the engineers are placing explosives. The engineer platoon leader was scolded by Captain Liu and threatened to put him in confinement for a month if there was another trouble this time.

Next, the troops who had finished cleaning the battlefield lined up to withdraw across the bridge. The cars on the road were already loaded with explosives, and they would explode when the troops came over after the break.

The night gradually became quiet. The support group with the civilians was counting the personnel. Two soldiers were sacrificed. I heard that the national soldiers cleaning the battlefield estimated that they had killed at least nearly a hundred Japanese and captured more than ten puppet prisoners of war. The Japanese

There were zero prisoners of war.
