A Japanese spy spotted the Eighth Route Army approaching the garrison and decisively pulled the trigger to warn surrounding troops.
An order immediately sounded in the dark night: "Machine gun cover and fire, let's kill..."
"Da da da……"
As soon as the familiar sound of machine gun fire rang out, the Japanese who had fired just now fell down with at least three bloody holes in his body.
He didn't say a word, his eyes quickly widened, and he fell to the ground with a dead look on his face.
Then I saw dozens of black shadows emerging, charging forward like ghosts.
In the middle of the station, the captain was also alerted by the sudden gunfire. He climbed up from the cot, put on his military uniform and shouted to the door: "Where is the gunshot? Is there an Eighth Route Army appearing around, trying to attack us and being discovered?"
"
"Hi!" A staff officer pushed open the door and rushed in.
"The gunfire came from the northeast of the station, and there were also machine guns participating in the battle."
"The outer sentries are not equipped with machine guns. The sound of machine gun fire must be caused by the Eighth Route Army."
"Da da da... boom boom..."
The gunshots reaching the captain's ears became increasingly dense, with several explosions interspersed with them.
The brigade leader immediately gave the order: "All troops must be prepared for battle. The Eighth Route Army is indeed attacking us."
"The gunshots are getting closer and closer here. They must have broken through the defense line established by the outer guard posts and are approaching the station."
Nearly 900 Japanese and puppet troops stationed there immediately took action.
At the officer's command, he rushed out of the tent with weapons and ammunition in disheveled clothes.
First line up in squads and squads, and then find the squad leader to meet under the command of their respective sergeants and commanders. The squad leader will then find the squadron leader to take charge of the task...
"Be careful, get down..." the reconnaissance company commander of the garrison regiment threw down a scout who was rushing next to him and shouted.
As soon as the people lay down, a string of heavy machine gun bullets flew directly in front of them, flying back against their scalps.
Chen Wei and the investigator he threw to the ground both showed expressions of rejoicing that they had survived the disaster.
If everyone had been lying down just half a second later, the bullets flying towards them would not have hit their scalps and flew behind them, but would have drilled several bloody holes in their bodies and taken away their lives.
The scout further away was not so lucky.
Two bullets passed through his chest. The moment the bullets flew out of his body, two bloody holes the size of fists appeared on his back. He screamed and fell to the ground and died.
After killing a scout, the light machine gun that suddenly appeared was not satisfied and continued to shoot at everyone.
Burst fire, long burst fire, and various methods were used to shoot at the reconnaissance company in an attempt to block the reconnaissance company here and buy more time for the main force to prepare for defense.
Chen Wei would definitely not let the Japanese achieve this goal.
Time is very precious to the Japanese, and it is equally precious to the attacking Eighth Route Army.
The difference is that the Japanese want to delay time and take the opportunity to build more defensive offensives to increase the difficulty of the Eighth Route Army's attack.
The Eighth Route Army, on the contrary, wanted to shorten the attack time.
He grabbed a rifle from a fallen soldier, loaded it with bullets, and gave orders while aiming.
"Grenade cover, kill the Japanese machine gun fire points."
"The others are ready for an assault. We will rush over as soon as the sound of machine gun fire in front stops."
"Bah..." The rifle in Chen Wei's hand rang out, and a Japanese soldier fell down next to the machine gun.
"Boom boom..."
After another ten seconds, two grenades hit the machine gun and exploded.
Splashing firelight quickly enveloped the machine gun.
The gunfire stopped suddenly, and Chen Wei got up from the ground decisively, holding a gun and charging forward.
The machine gun position was only affected by the shock wave caused by the grenade explosion, and was not actually bombed.
Just as Chen Wei rushed forward twenty meters, the familiar sound of gunshots rang out again.
A scout who happened to be standing in front of Chen Wei was hit and fell to the attack path with a thud.
"Boom..." At the same time, the grenade fired a second round of grenades at them.
The Japanese were not so lucky this time, and a grenade hit right next to the machine gun.
At the moment of the explosion, the machine gun was blown away.
Chen Wei got up from the ground and rushed forward while shouting: "Fight with me and kill the remaining little devils at the firepower point..."
The commando team marched forward with great momentum. It only took half an hour to advance two kilometers and stopped only when they reached the edge of the Japanese and puppet army garrison.
Li Hao followed closely behind the commando. As soon as the offensive position arrived, he began to issue orders: "The artillery will set up artillery positions immediately. The Japanese in the station are also equipped with a lot of artillery. Our mortars should be deployed as dispersed as possible."
"All the heavy machine guns are set up, and the troops will start attacking in five minutes."
Inside the garrison, in addition to the security troops, other Japanese and puppet troops were desperately building fortifications.
Some people dug trenches, some used sandbags to build bunkers, and some used empty bullet boxes to build parapets...
The captain stood in a section of the bunker that had been repaired, with his head exposed and looking outside the bunker, his expression serious and dignified, and he was very anxious.
The Eighth Route Army is about to launch an attack. Our defensive position has not been repaired yet. If we really try to hold it up, we will definitely suffer the loss.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army outside the station has moved!" the deputy captain reminded anxiously.
At least 580 Route Army soldiers were divided into two groups, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, and fought towards the south and west of the station at a very fast speed.
"No, the Eighth Route Army wants to encircle us and completely block us in the camp!" The captain saw through Li Hao's thoughts at a glance.
"How about we take the initiative to abandon our base before the encirclement is formed, break out of the encirclement, and then go directly to Huaiyuan under the cover of night." The deputy captain put forward his own idea.
"This road won't work!" the captain refused.
"When we rush out now, we will be a living target for the Eighth Route Army. We are completely exposed in the wild, and we are marching at night. They can slowly wear us down with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare on the way back."
"We only have a few people. They will definitely kill us all before we reach Huaiyuan, and the Eighth Route Army's casualties are very small."
"It's different if you stay here."
"The Eighth Route Army is the offensive side. Even if they are well-equipped, we can knock off their two front teeth through defensive battles and make them pay the price."
"There are still more than three hours before dawn next day, and I have already reported the situation here to the military headquarters."
"The military department has issued an order, and planes will come to reinforce us as soon as dawn comes."
"We still have eight or nine hundred people, so we won't have any chance of holding on until dawn."
"When the planes to reinforce us come over, no matter how many Eighth Route Army there are, they won't be enough to blow them up."
"So I think: Rather than being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army on the breakout road at a very small cost and dying in vain, it is better to stay here and wait for help."
"Even if we don't last until dawn, we can still severely damage the Eighth Route Army attacking us through defensive battles."
