"Isn't there a mortar squadron in the county? Let them participate in the battle and kill the Eighth Route Army artillery units!" The brigade commander ordered with a calm face.

"Didn't there be three infantry squadrons in the East Gate? They are equipped with one infantry squadron and two companies of the Imperial Army to reinforce the remaining three city gates. They must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and defend the county town!"

"Chief of Staff, haven't you found out where the Eighth Route Army outside the city came from?"

When he said the last sentence, the brigade commander almost shouted.

The chief of staff ran over with a heavy face: "General, Zhouzhuang is likely to be really occupied by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The troops who reinforced Zhouzhuang also lost contact. As expected, they were completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army, which is attacking our outside the city, must be the unit of the 386th Brigade. Now two mortar companies and a large number of heavy machine guns have appeared. It is certain that they are the main force of the 386th Brigade! But the specific number is still unclear!"

"Also, Bei Zhi didn't know why the Eighth Route Army came to attack the county town instead of Fengling Town. I don't know whether they were really attacking or just like attacking Zhouzhuang. They just covered up their eyes and attacked the east and west!"

"Boom boom boom!" Suddenly, a more violent explosion sounded to the command center.

The brigade commander who was suddenly stunned had not yet reacted, the artillery staff at the command center was already pale, and then screamed in surprise: "It's a heavy artillery, the heavy mortar that the Eighth Route Army once appeared again!"

"You are sure it's a heavy mortar!" the brigade commander stared at the artillery staff and asked.

"I'm sure the job is not bad, I dare to use my head to guarantee it!" The artillery staff nodded and affirmed.

"Now it's clear, everything is clear!" The brigade commander finally showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.

"There are places where there are heavy mortars, it must be the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. They did not intend to attack Fengling Town at all, but directly attacked the county town!"

The Chief of Staff also suddenly realized and said, "General, I understand!"

"The Eighth Route Army wants to take over the county town and destroy the main force of our brigade. If the main force of our brigade is eliminated, this place will become their world again. As for Fengling Town, which has stockpiled a lot of grain, they can take it as much as they want!"

"It must be so!" said the brigade commander.

Then he began to issue an order: "Assemble all combat troops in the city and enter the city defense fortifications to defend the city. The mountain artillery brigade will fight back immediately and kill the heavy mortar troops of the Eighth Route Army! Chief of Staff, how to arrange the distance. No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army fortifications are, how big our casualties are, we must persist until dawn!"

"Also, I want to personally send a telegram to the division commander, and ask the division commander to draw at least two infantry brigades to reinforce us!"

"We have suffered too much losses in continuous sweeping operations. The remaining troops are no longer enough to deal with the counterattack of the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

The four words "Decisive Night" are very exciting to the two leaders of the Independent Group and the New First Group.

In just one soldier, two regiments lost nearly one battalion of troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops also suffered heavy losses, which made the Japanese and puppet troops in the city more sure that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack the county town!

The 386th Brigade Brigade Department, the Chief of Staff, was in a very good mood. He took the telegram he had just received and reported before he rushed into the war room: "The brigade commander, Captain Wang, the telegram from the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment!"

"The siege is progressing very smoothly, but the troops have suffered a lot of casualties. Judging from the counterattack firepower of the defenders, the more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the county should have been on the battlefield!"

"Okay, what we want is the entire Japanese army to support Fengling Town! There is no force to reinforce Fengling Town!" At this point, it can be said that the purpose of the 386th Brigade tonight had reached more than half of its goal. The nerves that had been tensed for half a night finally relaxed, and he shouted with a rare look of joy.

"Tele to the two regiment commanders, continue to maintain the offensive, and don't worry about casualties. As long as there is food, we will have as many soldiers as we want at that time!"

Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "The time should have come! Wang Ping, the 772nd Regiment should be able to move!"

Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Brig Commander, you can attack!"

"Also, the Japanese army stationed in Fengling Town has hidden a large number of Japanese special forces. It is very likely that the main force of Japanese special forces is there. Huang Yuanqiang is worried that he is there alone. I plan to go there in person to try to get an understanding with Japanese special forces and kill them completely!"

"Go! Be careful!" Brigade Commander Chen did not refuse and answered readily.

The special forces were formed for the Japanese special forces. Now the Japanese special forces are in front of you. As the creator and direct commander of the special forces, Brigade Commander Chen had no reason to continue to leave Wang Ping at the command center and prevent him from killing his opponent.

"Machine gun cover, attack!" As soon as the attack order was received, nearly 1,500 people from the 772nd Regiment rushed towards Fengling Town like tigers out of the cage.

"Dadada..." As soon as he rushed to the front more than a hundred meters in front of the formation, the sound of machine gun strafing sounded at the Japanese position. The soldier who was rushing in front was instantly shot into a sieve by bullets, and then fell on the charge road.

"The machine gunner's firepower is suppressed, and the artillery immediately set up the mortar and kill the Japanese machine gunner!" The battalion commander's eyes turned red in an instant, and he shouted loudly.

"Bang bang... da da da da... boom bang..." In an instant, the quiet Fengling Town was shrouded in gunfire and explosions.

The 772nd Group has far underestimated its opponent.

With the participation of the Japanese special forces, the Japanese army's limited machine gun firepower was arranged very tricky and was constantly transferred.

The first battalion fired more than a dozen shells and only destroyed a heavy machine gun. Instead, he lost several gunners and machine gunners, all of whom were shot by the Japanese snipers.

"Organize suicide squads and prepare to blow up the Japanese firepower points with explosives!" The first battalion commander gritted his teeth and ordered.

Soon, a platoon of Eighth Route Army rushed out.

When he finally rushed to the front of the formation fifty meters and could use grenades to attack the Japanese position with grenades, a sound of submachine guns suddenly sounded at the Japanese position. A dozen suicide squads were left far away, and there was no chance to pounce on the hidden position. He was beaten into a hornet's nest by the bullet storm that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Get out, the artillery fire immediately, shoot all the shells, and kill the Japanese who just fired!" The first battalion commander clenched his fists and ordered decisively.

The sound of cannons sounded, and the Japanese position, which had been gunfire just now, instantly quieted down. Apart from the explosion, there was no gunshot.

After dozens of shells were smashed, a new round of attack began.

What disappointed the battalion leader was that several tongues of flames appeared again from the strong smoke!

"There are special forces of the Japanese soldiers here. The snipers are in place. Kill the Japanese snipers, cover the firepowerers, and prepare for assault!" When the first battalion commander was about to continue sending the suicide squad, Huang Yuanqiang's voice suddenly rang behind the first battalion commander.
