In the valley where Zhou Cheng was, the fourth company commander Chen Hao, who had just been on the rise, rushed into the command center with an excited look on his face.

"Battlefield Commander Zhou, the Japanese and puppet troops in the town were indeed divided. Wang Dehou took away a multi-battalion, and the Japanese left a reinforced squadron. There were less than one squadron of the Japanese and five or six hundred puppet troops left in the town. Half of the puppet troops had not even touched guns before, and many people did not want to be traitors, but Wang Dehou stared at them too tightly and had no choice but to put on the puppet military uniform..."

"If we can enter the town, those troops who are unwilling to be dogs for the Japanese will definitely revolt on the battlefield..."

"There is another thing. The Japanese and puppet troops left behind in Zhangzhuang Town only arranged a company to patrol and guard the surrounding area. This company happened to be the fifth company that is most likely to revolt!"

After saying that, Chen Hao stared at Zhou Cheng with his eyes shining, hoping that he could issue an order to attack Zhangzhuang Town.

Chen Hao was brought here by Huang Hu three hours ago. After knowing that Zhou Cheng was going to continue to investigate Zhangzhuang Town, he took the initiative to ask for his own order to lead the team to complete this task as his own letter of surrender to join the Third Battalion.

Of course, Zhou Cheng would not refuse. Compared with the reconnaissance platoon leader Tang Shengbo, he is more familiar with Zhangzhuang Town and the troops inside. He can tell the truth about the town at a glance.

As Zhou Cheng expected, he walked around Zhangzhuang Town and Chen Hao would have all the information he wanted to know later!

"Battery Commander, this is definitely a god-given opportunity to attack Zhangzhuang Town at night. I suggest you start taking action after dark!" Chen Zhengyu's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Zhou Cheng nodded: "You must fight, but you can't act after it gets dark!"

"We started to act at twelve o'clock in the evening, and we touched several entrances of the town as a unit, lurked in the town at one o'clock in the morning, and launched an attack at the same time as a unit."

"No matter whichever one even enters Donghui Town first, he will attack the Japanese garrison and block them in the garrison with powerful firepower and prevent them from coming out."

"We have too many new recruits, and it's okay to rely on our firepower to fight the battle. If we really want to fight with the Japanese and fight for combat effectiveness, they can easily fight several of our soldiers alone."

"Even if we wipe them out in the end, we will have to pay a huge price ourselves, which is not cost-effective!"

At one o'clock in the morning, the whole Zhangzhuang Town seemed to be asleep, without any movement.

More than a hundred soldiers who had been replaced with the imperial army's epaulettes were scattered in various alert positions.

In the first half of the night, they could still tighten their nerves and stare at the surroundings with big eyes.

By the second half of the night, most of the soldiers could not stand it and yawned repeatedly.

Some officers couldn't stand it and began to sleep in the corner of the position. Without the supervision of the superior, more and more ordinary soldiers began to fall asleep, leaving two or three people at each warning position without sleeping.

Zhou Cheng personally directed the guard company to touch the north of the town.

After taking a look at the alert position and the entrance of the town illuminated by the bonfire, he ordered with expectation: "The grenade launcher is aimed at the alert position, and the heavy machine gun covers it. When the time comes, attack the entrance of the town immediately."

"The artillery company gathers all mortars to attack the Japanese army's garrison. I want the Japanese and puppet troops in the town to feel that there are Japanese and puppet troops everywhere outside the town, disrupting them..."

"Boom...dongdongdongdong..."

The guard company's grenade squad continued to touch until it was sixty or seventy meters away from the warning position before firing. Although only one grenade hit the target, the puppet troops in the warning position were too concentrated, and at least four people were blown up in the splashing flames.

Two heavy machine guns joined the battle at the same time, and tracer bullets whizzed in the air like meteors, telling the machine gunner the flight trajectory of the bullets.

After only two points shots, the machine gunner found the target by correcting the ballistics.

Then he pressed the trigger of the heavy machine gun with both hands and did not release it. The bullets were as expensive as they were, and he tried his best to shoot at the alert position.

The puppet troops on the position were in chaos. Many people were awakened by the sound of gunfire. They opened their eyes and had not figured out what was going on. The bullets flying above their heads suddenly cut off half of his head...

There was only one squad of ten Japanese devils in the entire alert position. Several shells were killed, and two heavy machine guns were killed. All the people who were still alive were shocked and hid behind sandbags like slamming.

Zhou Cheng raised the box cannon and ordered decisively: "Everyone rushed into the town... and rushed..."

He encountered no resistance along the way and rushed to the alert position in less than twenty seconds.

"Stop the gun and don't kill..." Huang Hu, the company commander who ran in front, rushed and shouted.

"Leave a squad to clean the battlefield, and the others continue to attack..." Zhou Cheng ordered.

"The fire platoon follows up and we will go straight into the town..."

In the town, the Japanese army and the puppet troops without mission were all stationed at the original National Salvation Army.

Huang Yonggui set aside half of the garrison for the Japanese, and the remaining half of the troops were left for the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade.

"Boom boom boom..." The gunshots sounded at several town entrances, and a total of seven explosions rang out in the camp at the same time.

The fireballs that soared into the air were like giant torches, illuminating the surroundings in an instant.

Huang Yonggui was so scared that he jumped up from the bed. When he looked up, he saw the scene of fireballs rising outside the window, less than thirty meters away from him.

I felt scared, but fortunately the shell did not hit the room I was in, otherwise I would not even have the chance to get up and would be buried directly in the ruins.

Put on military uniforms and rushed out, running and shouting: "The troops gather immediately and leave the barracks..."

There are too many new recruits in the team, and their first reaction to the raid is to panic and be at a loss.

Even the platoon leader shouted out his throat but could not even greet a few subordinates. There were chaos everywhere. Some recruits were frightened and squatted on the ground and cried, shouting that they didn't want to die and wanted to leave here...

Huang Yonghuan regretted that he had not drawn veterans during the day to form a mobile unit.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. The sound of gunfire in the town day and night is getting closer and closer, and the enemy's offensive is very fierce, and the guards are almost unable to stop it and are retreating step by step...

At this time, people must be sent to reinforce them, otherwise when the enemy enters the town, the battlefield will definitely become more chaotic, and it will be difficult to defeat the enemy out of the town.

After finding a few company commanders, he ordered: "Take your assembled troops with you to reinforce the three town entrances. The speed should be fast. Let's set off now."

The three company commanders did not move because there were too few troops they had already assembled.

The third company with the largest number of veterans only gathered more than fifty people, the rebuilt fourth company only gathered less than forty people, the newly formed sixth company only gathered less than twenty people, and many officers were also messed up by the new recruits and could not find their own company commander.

If you take these people to reinforce the battlefield, it is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, not a war.

Huang Yonggui was anxious: "Why are you still standing there? Execute the order immediately."

"The company commander commanded the troops that had already assembled and immediately reinforced the battlefield. The deputy company commander stayed here to continue gathering the troops. If one squad was assembled, one squad would be sent to the front line!"

"I'll go find the Imperial Army now and let them divide their troops to reinforce us..."

"Boom..."

The explosion continued. The camp, which was just empty, was full of panicked soldiers everywhere, and the shells that were smashed have begun to show results.

The three company commanders glanced at Huang Yonggui's slowly disappearing back, then looked at the place where the shells exploded just now, and all of them showed a look of at a loss.

The newly appointed fourth company commander suddenly spoke: "Everyone should do the order. The enemy gathers at least six mortars to attack our camp. It is not necessarily safe to stay here."

"If a shell hits us and explodes, I can't save us even if I come."

"Fourth Company follows me and go to the east of the town..."

The other two company commanders could only nod and agreed: "The Third Company follows me...The Sixth Company sets out with me..."

As soon as Huang Yonggui ran to the Japanese station, he remembered the sound of pulling a gun bolt in front of him.

He quickly shouted: "Taijun, don't be nervous. I am the commander of the Second Regiment of the Security Brigade. The military situation is urgent. I will meet your squadron leader immediately."

"Boom..."

The artillery shells that had been hitting the base of the Second Regiment of the Security Brigade finally began to patronize the Japanese army's garrison, and one of the shells happened to hit Huang Yonggui not far away.

The fire splashed to let the Japanese see Huang Yonggui clearly, and quickly opened the gate of the station...

Compared with the messy Second Regiment station, the Japanese station has nothing to do with the word "chao".

Most of the soldiers had entered the position and hid in all the places where they could be surrounded by the camp.

A few twenty or thirty soldiers ran back and forth between the barracks and positions, delivering boxes of ammunition to the combat troops.

More than a dozen grenade launchers were half squatting in the middle of the camp, with the grenades placed neatly next to them, ready to provide fire cover for the riflemen at any time.

The Japanese squadron leader stood on the roof of the barracks, holding a telescope, observing the surrounding battlefield with a serious look on his face...

"Taijun, the town was attacked by unknown enemies, and the Second Regiment suffered heavy casualties. Please support!" Huang Yonggui stood on the ground, shouting with his head raised.

"Bageya Road..." the squadron leader cursed dissatisfied.

"Your troops are just a bunch of cowards and idiots. They are vulnerable in the face of the enemy's attack and retreat directly to the town..."

"You come up and see. There were three reinforcements before attacking our enemy and they had already entered the town. How could I reinforce?"

"Do you want me to divide my troops and fight with an enemy..."

Huang Yonggui was already scared, but now he was scolded by the Japanese squadron leader, as if he was very dissatisfied with him and even more panicked.

He could not think of any other solution except reinforcement of the battlefield and keeping the enemy out of the town.

I could only ask the Japanese for advice.

"I am humble and stupid, please save the Second Corps..."

"From now on, the Second Regiment will listen to you. You can fight as much as you want to fight Beizhi!"

The Japanese squadron leader looked much better. He glanced at the increasingly fierce battle situation around him and replied: "We can no longer save the town, but we can save the base."

"All troops retreat to the garrison and defend the garrison to the end."

"Although the enemy has a lot of troops, its combat power is not very strong, so it should not be difficult to defend here."
