The Japanese squad leader was slapping the sergeant in the face and immediately ordered the attack. It was obvious that the guerrillas in the mountains were the national army. The Japanese were not stupid. This time, they invested more than 30 Japanese soldiers, all the puppet troops, and more than 60 people, and they pulled the formation to the east and west. They were ready to attack north after pulling it apart. It was good to walk on the small path, but it would cost a price. This time, they were going to pull it away from the bushes and attack.

What made the Japanese squad leader the most unhappy was that during the battle just now, a few bullets flew out of the mountain and flew to his command center, which made the squad leader furious: the squad leader had actually lost half of the Japanese when he went out, and he didn't even bring back the corpse.

This is of course Wang Xiaoer's masterpiece. The machine gun that was shooting at the sky flew in a big arc. Several shots actually landed at the Japanese command center two miles away. It scared the Japanese and the puppet troops behind them so much that they fell to the ground. This was considered a mistake.

It was like a stone fell from the world and was hit on a Japanese helmet. After a long time, the Japanese still felt a little dizzy.

After a buzzing birds, the formation of Japanese puppet troops scattered at the foot of the mountain, taking two steps. The puppet troops walked in front, and hugged from a distance, aiming their guns at the intersection where they were going down the mountain in the bamboo forest.

The county brigade on the edge of the bamboo forest was stunned. Most of the Japanese were still far apart. The terrain below was no longer continuous bamboo forests, but it was not far apart. They were also small bamboo forests and woods, and the grenade can't hit that far.

More than fifty Japanese men pulled into an arc, and their wings protruded forward. There was no chance of shooting. The machine gun behind the Japanese stood up again and started shooting at the entrance of the mountain pass. Is this fire reconnaissance?

The Japanese did not walk on the mountain road, but had to attack from the wilderness. The speed was very slow, but the overall pressure was still very strong.

Hongxingqiao Town.

A river passes from the town from the northwest through the town and goes southeastward. There is a small river in the northeastward direction that flows into this river in the middle of the town. The water in the river will eventually flow into Taihu Lake. The town is divided into three pieces by three rivers in the shape of T.

A small town divided into three parts by the river will not pass through the river when entering the town from the west. Since the town is not on the main transportation road, the two bridges on the river from the west to the east of the town are still retained and have not been blown up.

In a courtyard in the south of the town, the National Army's health officers were bandaging the injured soldiers. A round of Japanese bombardment, a total of eighteen people died in the company, more than 40 people were injured, and nearly half of them were injured. The National Army's company commander was so angry that his eyes turned red. However, this time the Japanese were smart and did not enter the town. The Japanese puppet army still had no infantry attacking the town.

The correspondent kept sending the news from around to the company headquarters. The Japanese in the north were shelling and shooting cold guns. The Japanese in the east, who had already come here, are establishing positions. There were Japanese in the west, surrounding them, but they did not encircle the south, which was puzzling.

The deputy company commander of the Kuomintang army suggested to the company commander on the position: "Company Commander, I think we should retreat. We can still stick out while the Japanese have not yet surrounded the siege. The Japanese have come to almost one brigade this time, and we can't fight it."

"No order, whoever says he wants to run away, I will kill him."

The company commander of the Kuomintang was not in his company. He was now close to Zhenbei, hiding behind the ruins, and stalemate with the Japanese on the spot. He occasionally fired cold guns at the Japanese to attract Japanese machine guns and grenade fire.

The soldiers' rifles and bullets were fired at the Japanese from different positions. The two sides were four or five hundred meters away. The bullets had no accurate head at all, but they could not cover too many bullets. Several Japanese who were not lucky were also shot and injured. After flying too far, the bullet speed of the bullet was reduced and there was no lethality. Moreover, the ballistic declined severely. The soldiers of the Chinese army stood up and felt like they were shooting in the sky.

Southwest corner of town.

There was a squad of the National Army soldiers defending. The squad leader was a squad leader named Liu Jian. He fought three steps, first fired a row of guns, then threw a wave of grenades, and finally fought with bayonets. Such a battle was very similar to the Red Guerrillas. In fact, he used to be the squad leader of a local army. At that time, his weapons and equipment were poor, but he also participated in the Battle of Songhu. Later, he was injured and unable to return to the original army. He was reorganized into the Central Army during the reorganization, and the supply of bullets increased slowly.

Liu Jian, with half of the new recruits, kept hiding quietly in a solid stone house in the west of the town, secretly observing the Japanese and puppet troops surrounding the enemy. The Japanese and puppet troops did not attack or approach, and his squad had never fired his guns until now.

Fortunately, in the Japanese artillery bombardment, his squad was not injured. In addition to the strong house, they were in the southwest of the town. The neighbor to the north was a higher two-story building. The artillery shells hit by the Japanese were also blocked by the neighbors. When they chose this place, Liu Jian fell in love with this place that was located far away from the company at first sight, and was ridiculed by other brothers for a long time.

There is a pigpen to the north, and the pigs have long disappeared, but the smell is still there, which is one of the reasons why the brothers did not choose here.

Perhaps in the eyes of other squad leaders, the place where the position is located is difficult to supply, and if there is an order in the company, it is entirely possible that it will not be conveyed here. If the Japanese attack, this place will become the first place to face the Japanese firepower.

As for supplies, Liu Jian felt that he had a hundred bullets per person now, so he still needed supplies. The Japanese came up and attacked them. He was confident that he would repel all the Japanese attackers attacking from him.

Of course, if there are too many Japanese devils, even if he dies in battle, he will not retreat. His belief is that people are in the position and if the position is lost, it means that all the people in his squad will die for the country and just go to see his old company commander.

The Japanese in front of the north used machine gun fire to suppress them and carefully fired at positions where there might be national troops. The Japanese on both sides of the east and west had already been encircled. In the street fighting, the Japanese did not intend to go up to their own people first. A company of puppet troops was being grouped into three platoons and placed in front by the Japanese. They were finally ready to start attacking from three directions at the same time.

The Japanese's tactics are simple and effective. If you want to fight, I will accompany you. I will let the Chinese fight with you. The puppet army company commander attacked from the north. The two platoons from east to west, each with thirty or forty people, slowly pressing into the town. The puppet army was not slow in advance. After the Japanese training, they were quite good.

Snake-shaped advance, crawling forward, and shooting while moving forward, but when the gun starts shooting three hundred meters away during the movement, are you going to hit a ghost?

Fortunately, the Japanese who were pressing the formation behind did not stop it, so they could advance slowly.

In fact, the Japanese don’t care about when the puppet army fires their guns. As long as the puppet army can rush forward, the opponent wants to shoot, and the firepower point will be exposed, and the grenade launcher behind will hit the grenade fiercely.

The puppet army attacking to the west first had to pass through a bamboo forest. There were many ponds beside the forest. The attacking puppet army was divided into three routes, and it had entered about sixty meters along the road between several ponds.
