The atmosphere at the Zhangzhuang Town National Salvation Army Headquarters was very heavy, and everyone was ready to fight to the death with the Japanese and puppet troops.

At this moment, the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops stopped.

Everyone looked puzzled and confused.

Some people think that something happened behind the Japanese, because they also heard the gunshots from behind the Japanese attacking troops just now, but few people support this view. Looking at the entire headquarters, there are only two staff members.

Some people think that this is the Japanese and puppet troops preparing for the final decisive battle. They want to enter Zhangzhuang Town in one go and eat up all the remaining national-savior troops in the town.

This is what most people think. Although the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops stopped, everyone's faces did not look better, but instead became heavier.

After waiting for almost two hours in panic, the Japanese and puppet troops remained unmoved.

Wang Dehou couldn't understand it, but he had a premonition that today's decisive battle is likely to not be able to fight.

If the Japanese and puppet troops were really preparing for the final decisive battle, they would definitely not have been delayed for too long.

Now two hours have passed and the troops have not yet had an offensive trend, so this judgment is wrong.

Wang Dehou immediately had the idea of ​​only two staff members supporting him: something happened to the Japanese and puppet troops behind him?

"Commander! Good news, great news..." A voice suddenly rang out at the command department.

The second battalion commander rushed in as if he was so excited about eating honey: "The Japanese and puppet troops who attacked us have retreated..."

"The retreat began ten minutes ago, and it was completely removed in less than five minutes, and the bodies on the position were taken away!"

Everyone was shocked by the news. Wang Dehou was the first to react and stared at the second battalion commander and asked: "You are sure that the Japanese have really withdrawn. It's not a trick to doubt the soldiers. Wait until we relax our vigilance and kill another one to retake the enemy!"

The second battalion commander quickly nodded: "I arranged a platoon to follow them, and I could see clearly."

"In order not to be chased by us, the Japanese also arranged a small infantry squad behind the palace!"

At the beginning, the staff officer who thought something unexpected happened behind the Japanese was even more convinced of his judgment: "Commander, the sudden withdrawal of the Japanese must be related to the gunshots two hours ago!"

"At that time, the main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops were attacking us in front, and the cavalry squadron surrounded us around the town. There were only artillery troops behind it, and the artillery troops should have been attacked."

"Without artillery, the Japanese and puppet troops will not be able to destroy the castle we built on the positions. No matter how many people attack, we will be killed completely."

Another staff officer opposed: "But we have no troops there!"

"The first and second battalions are all in the town, with heavy casualties. If you want to sneak attack the Japanese artillery positions, there are no troops!"

Speaking of this, everyone focused their attention on Wang Dehou.

He is the commander of the National Salvation Army and the nominal leader of all anti-Japanese armed forces in the territory.

The staff officer only knew the first and second battalions, but Wang Dehou could contact other anti-Japanese armed forces in the superiors and pacified territory. If there were indeed troops attacking the Japanese artillery positions, then this force must have been arranged by the commander.

Wang Dehou's mind was also in a mess, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Facing the expectant gaze of my subordinates, I really want to nod and give everyone a positive answer. This will not only stabilize the morale of the army, improve your position in the hearts of my subordinates, but also satisfy your vanity.

But this matter was not arranged by him at all. He didn't even know the identity of the sneak attack troops, so he couldn't even start talking.

"Report to Commander, Deputy Commander Zhou of the Third Battalion is here!" The guard company commander suddenly ran in, relieving the embarrassment faced by Wang Dehou!

"Zhou Cheng...he is not..." Wang Dehou looked at the guard company commander with confusion.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted.

The Japanese just retreated and Zhou Chengzuo came, which is definitely not a coincidence.

A bold idea quickly emerged from his mind: the Japanese artillery position was led by Zhou Cheng to raid.

I quickly ordered: "Let him in immediately, no, I'll go and greet him in person!"

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Zhou Cheng coming towards me, saluted and reported loudly: "Commander, the Third Battalion was ordered to raid the Japanese artillery positions. Now the mission has been completed. Force the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat. Please instruct!"

When the idea became a fact, Wang De immediately smiled on his cheek.

Especially after hearing Zhou Cheng say that the third battalion raided the artillery position under his order, the smile on his face became stronger. If it weren't for his subordinates standing beside him, he would have wanted to pick up Zhou Cheng twice, and his eyes looking at Zhou Cheng became more and more admirable and happy.

Zhou Cheng is simply too sensible.

If you say that the raid artillery positions are acting under your orders, then you will be the leader of the entire battle. When it comes to credit, you will be worthy of being the first attack.

You can tell how powerful the sentence just now is by looking at the reaction of your subordinates.

After Wang Dehou arranged the raiding artillery position, everyone looked at the commander more admiring and convinced than before.

It can be imagined that from now on, there will be no one in the National Salvation Army to question their identity as commander, believing that they are very ambitious and have no qualifications to be commander.

When he was happy, he immediately asked: "Is the army's casualties serious?"

Zhou Cheng's face quickly became heavier: "I brought two infantry companies, one fire platoon, and the only one behind me was left, and all the other soldiers were sacrificed."

"The raid was very smooth at the beginning, not only killing all the artillery but also destroying all the artillery."

"But it also angered the Japanese. They chased us like crazy. The troops had no choice but to stop and fight with them, and then they fought only these people."

Wang Dehou didn't know whether Zhou Cheng said it was true or false, but he was a smart person.

Just now, Zhou Cheng gave himself such a great deal of face and exchanged courtesy. Now it's his turn to return the gift, and make a promise immediately.

"The soldiers are all good."

"Without them, the headquarters may well have ceased to exist. They are the heroes of our National Salvation Army."

"After the battle, you report a list of fallen soldiers. I personally ask them for merit from the war zone. I will definitely get them a full pension and hand it over to you personally, so as not to let them down."

Zhou Cheng said this for a long time and waited for this sentence, and immediately replied: "Thank you, Commander, I will bring all the families of all the soldiers who fell into battle, thank you."

"There is another thing. The mountain cannons and infantry cannons brought by the Japanese were destroyed by us. Because they were too heavy, the Japanese and puppet troops did not take them away when they retreated."

"That's evidence that we have severely damaged the Japanese and puppet troops. The commander would better send someone to put them away as soon as possible."

"When we fought a decisive battle with the Japanese and puppet troops, we also seized dozens of Japanese nameplates and some broken weapons and ammunition, and brought them all. Please arrange for someone to accept them."

"In order to divide the troops to reinforce the headquarters, the Third Battalion took the initiative to attack and attacked an ambush of the Japanese and puppet troops in Hongshiwa."

"Because it was just a surprise attack, we did not seize any equipment, but we killed more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops, otherwise the third battalion would not dare to divide the troops."

Wang Dehou knew that Zhou Cheng was seeking credit for himself and sharing his military achievements, so he quickly ordered: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander Zhou, every Japanese and puppet army command killed by the Third Battalion will be recorded on the record and then ask for credit from the war zone."

"We will have a good chat during the meal and ordered the kitchen team to make all the good things from the headquarters. I will entertain the heroes of the Third Battalion."

Chen Zhengyu was very depressed when he was at the headquarters of the Third Camp of Donghui Town.

Just as Tang Yufeng decided to launch an attack, severely damaging the remaining Japanese and puppet troops outside the town. They suddenly turned into turtles, relying on artillery and heavy machine gun troops to set up in front of the position, firing a few shells at the position every few minutes, but they just didn't go out.

The Eighth Company, which was left at the garrison, was only equipped with two grenade launchers and two light machine guns. It was not the Japanese who took action, so they could only stare at them from afar.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when it was almost dark, the 7th Company and the Ninth Company, the fire platoon came back. Judging from the seizures they brought back, you knew that the troops had won the battle.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Li, where is the battalion commander?" Chen Zhengyu asked quickly.

"I went to the headquarters and said I would give the third battalion a benefit!" Li Honghui replied.

Chen Zhengyu continued to ask: "Have the Japanese and puppet troops attacking Zhangzhuang Town retreated?"

Li Honghui did not hide it and quickly told the third camp's actions in Zhangzhuang Town.

Chen Zhengyu became anxious after hearing this: "The Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangzhuang Town ran away. The Japanese and puppet troops here will definitely run away after they get the news. It's a pity!"

After thinking for a while, the topic suddenly changed: "No, we still have a chance."

"The regiment commander can use four mortars to force the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat, and we can also use four mortars to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops attacking Donghui Town."

"Platform Commander Chang, Deputy Platoon Commander Tan, I want you to set up four mortars immediately and use the method the battalion commander teaches you in the afternoon, first the Japanese artillery position, and then blow up the heavy machine gun position."

"There are not many Japanese and puppet troops confronting us. The reason why they still have the courage to stay here is because of heavy machine guns and mortars."

"Blow them up, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops will definitely retreat."

"The Seventh Company and the Eighth Company, divided their troops into platoons and slew the only way for the Japanese and puppet troops to pass. As soon as they retreated, they opened fire and intercepted them layer by layer. One platoon was a Japanese and puppet army, and the six platoons were a total of sixty Japanese and puppet troops."

Because Donghui Town is too far away from Zhangzhuang Town and the troops do not have a radio station, the Japanese and puppet troops who were feinting attacking Donghui Town did not know that the captain was defeated.

Until the explosion sounded at the artillery position.

"Boom...boom..."

The violent explosion sounded in the squadron leader's ears like thunder. When he looked up, he saw several balls of black smoke rising from the artillery position.

He was dozens of meters away from the artillery position, and he could see clearly that at least four gunners were blown up during the explosion.

The squadron leader looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Yesterday's attack has proved that the National Salvation Army in the town did not have mortars, and the shells just now were definitely not fired by the National Salvation Army.

Could it be that the National Rescue Army has come to reinforcements?

The squadron leader immediately became nervous.

Artillery and heavy machine guns are two major advantages of fighting against the National Rescue Army. If there is no more, the troops will even protect themselves here, so hurry up and order them.

"The artillery will transfer the position immediately!"

The squadron leader's reaction was fast enough, and it took only a few seconds from the explosion to the order exit.

But the opponent's reaction is faster.

"Boom...boom..."

As soon as the order was released, the second round of four explosions rang out, deafening...
Chapter completed!
