The main street of Sanqiao County is actually a standard cross, long from north to south and short from east to west.

The main street from the South City Gate to the center of the Cross is called Xiama Street, the main street from the North City Gate to the center of the Cross is called Shangma Street, the main street from the East City Gate to the center of the Cross is called Nanmen Street, and the main street from the North City Gate to the center of the Cross is called Beimen Street.

Among them, there are many small alleys, small streets interspersed with them, and the terrain is a bit complicated.

And to the north of the Cross Center is the county government.

The tallest building around Xiama Street is a large villa located on the left side of the main street. There are also some lawns and trees around it, which is in the manor-style villa style.

It was originally the residence of the local richest man Lin Zhimin. Because of the war, the richest man ran to the rear before the Japanese arrived. The guardians also followed the people to the hinterland of the base to avoid the war.

At this time, twelve soldiers from the third company, one squad, one squad, were hiding in the Lin family manor. Their main combat mission was to wait for the Japanese to pass here, attack the Japanese from behind, cooperate with the main force, and try to annihilate the Japanese to have vitality.

In everyone's eyes, it is believed that the Japanese have always been arrogant and relied on their advanced weapons and well-trained. They should have attacked with great momentum from the beginning. In addition, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, they should not be very interested in this neighboring manor.

However, everyone ignored the Japanese's attention to the commanding heights... In fact, the highest point of the entire county town is Lion Mountain, about 300 meters away from the North City Gate. It is the only forest park in the county town, just a mountain with an altitude of 123 meters. At this time, the temporary regiment headquarters of the assault regiment and field hospitals were all set up here.

From this point of view, Linjia Manor is only the highest point in this area, but there are several three-story houses around it. Therefore, Linjia Manor is the highest point in this area, but it is not much higher and not as valuable as imagined.

In theory, the Japanese will not waste their troops in this Lin family manor, but they do not know that the Japanese sometimes have a very old-fashioned mind and will follow the textbooks completely. For example, when you arrive at a certain place, you must first occupy the commanding heights. Even if this commanding heights have no value, occupying it may be affected by it, and you must follow the textbooks.

So, this sudden battle occurred.

The squad leader of the third company, platoon and squad of the first battalion of the assault regiment is Xue Honggui. He is twenty-four years old this year. Although he is not old, he is already an old Red Army soldier who has experienced the Long March.

Squad 1 is also the strongest combat power of the Third Company. This squad is called the Sharp Knife Squad. All the civil warriors are veterans who have experienced at least three battles... Otherwise, they would not have blocked the gap from the Japanese behind them. For this reason, they specially equipped Squad 1 with a light machine gun and sufficient *.

At the beginning, all the soldiers of the squad had no thoughts about their own tasks: the sharp knife squad performed the most difficult tasks, and the hardest bones were also gnawed on the battlefield. In a certain way, it was the same as the suicide squad. Therefore, everyone had already prepared for the danger level of this battle.

Now, when we received the news that the Japanese had already started attacking, the soldiers of a squad, except for two people watching on the roof, were all hiding in the building, and they were very fond of the magnificent and elegant taste of the building because no one had seen so many luxurious decorations.

There were comrades fighting for life and death, but the soldiers of a group of soldiers were still having a fierce discussion of the luxurious decoration, as if they had long been indifferent to life and death, including their own lives... Veterans are veterans, and at least they were calm in the face of danger is a necessary psychological quality.

Then when the Japanese began to enter the streets, a group of soldiers turned a deaf ear and were still discussing leisurely.

Until the Japanese were about to arrive in front of the Lin Family Manor, the soldiers of a squad rested on the spot under the order of the squad leader to regain their energy for the fierce battle.

However, no one expected that when the Japanese walked to the Lin Family Manor, they became interested in the Lin Family Manor and stopped... In fact, the Japanese wanted to turn the Lin Family Manor into a temporary command center and a transit station, as well as a temporary field hospital.

This makes sense: from a geographical point of view, the South City Wall is now the only passage controlled by the Japanese to enter the county town, and Linjia Manor is not far from the South City Wall. It occupied Linjia Manor. It can attack and retreat or defend, and it is just right away or near.

The Linjia Manor is not only the tallest building in this area, but also has a large lawn and large space, so it can be used as a transfer station and field hospital.

Moreover, just looking at the Lin Family Manor from the outside, you can know that the people living inside are definitely wealthy and the decoration must be magnificent. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese wanted to set up a temporary command center here.

"Squad leader, come and see. The Japanese seem to be very interested in our place."

When the squad leader, who was closing his eyes to rest, heard this, he quickly ran to the window. The soldiers followed him to the window, opened the curtains slightly, and looked out through the gaps... Fortunately, there were so many windows in this house that there were no need to crowd in front of a window.

At this time, everyone saw that two Japanese were exposing their heads on the wall and observing them, and then one of them climbed over the wall and entered...

"Squad leader, fight!"

Xue Honggui thought about it and shook his head.

The soldiers were naturally dissatisfied. A tall soldier said: "Squad leader, the Japanese are coming in. We just rely on this favorable terrain to kill some Japanese. Isn't that good?"

"What's good? The bullshit terrain is actually a tofu." Xue Honggui glared at the tall soldier and said, "Don't look tall and strong here, but this is not a fortification after all, it's just a house... You see, the three tanks of the Japanese stopped, but they also aimed the muzzles at us. Just this house, how many cannons can you get? At that time, there are no need for Japanese infantry attacks. As long as the three tanks hit a few cannons, this house will have a tower. At that time, we will all be buried inside, either directly killed or captured... I think, everyone should bear it first, retreat for the time being, and come back after the Japanese leave."

"Old Xue is right." The deputy squad leader agreed: "If you are just Japanese infantrymen, no matter how many people come, we can stay in this house and teach the Japanese a lesson. But Japanese have tanks, and there are three. This house is a tofu in front of the tank. Instead of being buried alive, it is better to retreat temporarily and then secretly kill back... Don't forget that the main task of our squad is to block the gap, not for a moment."

"Okay, everyone clean up and retreat quickly."

But just as everyone was about to take action, the sentry suddenly shouted: "Squad leader, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"Look, the Japanese tank not only turned the gun in a direction, but also seemed... not right, it had already started to move forward."

Everyone hurry to the window to observe.

But I saw the Japanese who climbed into the wall, shouting at the Japanese who was responsible for observing the wall... Seeing this scene, Xue Honggui and the others were overjoyed: Originally, the Lin family manor was just locking the door from the outside. However, after Xue Honggui and the others climbed over the wall, they were just to make the Japanese think that there were no enemies here, and at most they were just a few ordinary people, so they locked the door from the inside. Now, the Japanese who wanted to open the door from the inside naturally faced the big lock in front of him... In the end, the Japanese who was lying on the wall said a few words to the Japanese below, and the Japanese below had to lift up their guns, aimed the gun at the big lock, and fired...

After the gate opened, the Japanese flocked in, but did not rush to the building as soon as possible. Instead, they expanded to both sides. This was probably because they were afraid of the constant ambush that appeared in the battle at the entrance of the city wall. Therefore, the Japanese must first make sure that there were no ambush in the manor, and then concentrate their troops to rush into the building. Anyway, the building cannot run away, so there is no hurry.

The Japanese's three tanks originally aimed their muzzles at the building. The original intention was that if something happened, the building would inevitably become the best hidden place for the enemy. By then, a few guns would be enough to cause the building to collapse.

However, the Japanese commander thought the environment here was good, and as a temporary command center and a transit station, they did not want to destroy it. Therefore, in order to prevent fire, they simply let the tank turn the muzzle elsewhere.

When the Japanese saw the Japanese rushing in, there was still no sound inside. The Japanese commander felt that there should be no problem here. On the other hand, even if there are really enemies hidden in the building, how many can they hide? As long as the Japanese rush in, they will be able to capture it.

In this way, there is really no need to use tanks to destroy them, thus destroying this beautiful environment and extremely suitable geographical location. That would be a pity. So, let the tanks and most of the soldiers continue to advance.

Then, a Japanese commander led a small team of Japanese soldiers to stay. After the main force behind us came in, he would strengthen his vigilance around him.

However, in this way, in the eyes of Team 1, there is really no need to retreat immediately, but it is really possible to fight.

Originally they were planning to retreat, but now they saw that there was only one team of Japanese devils left behind. The most important thing was that the Japanese devils had already driven away. This means that everyone could give this team of Japanese devils a good taste of the power of one squad, and then retreat calmly... The reason for retreating was that everyone understood that relying on one squad alone had too few people and no advantage in weapons, it was absolutely impossible to defend.

But the problem is that it is one thing to defend or not, and it is another thing to fight or not. Just like fighting, the city gun is, although everyone knows that the city gun will never be able to defend in the end, the problem is that it still has to be guarded. This is not only an order, but also a need of the situation, but also a personal desire to fight.

"Okay, everyone acted according to the previous scheduled plan... I remind you again, first, no one is allowed to fire the first shot without my order. Second, once I order to retreat, I will not be allowed to stay at all, and I must retreat immediately. This is an order, and everyone must implement it firmly. Have you heard it clearly?"

"It's clear!"

"Action... Xiao Qin stayed for a while."

"Squad leader, what's wrong?"

"We are all fighting below. You are alone on the fourth floor. If there is something wrong, I am afraid that you will not be able to retreat in time. You can take this. If there is something wrong or you feel it is dangerous, you can retreat directly from the back without asking for instructions."

Qin Feng looked at the rope, looked at the squad leader, then looked at the comrades around him, and nodded solemnly.
