Xu Dalong and others were marching. When they heard gunfire and explosions coming from afar, they immediately accelerated and marched forward. Seeing a small mound in front, Xu Dalong rode his horse onto the small mound.

Xu Dalong had excellent eyesight, and with the use of a telescope, he could see the battle taking place next to Shili River from afar.

At this time, Zheng Xirong, Monk Wei and Wang Xiaohu also climbed the mound. Xu Dalong handed them the telescope so that they could also understand the situation on the battlefield.

Then, Xu Dalong said: "The troops of the New Regiment should be in front of him, and they are fighting with the Japanese army. Let's go and help. Xizi, you will take a squad to the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops and use the cemetery to attack the enemy side.

Zheng Xirong said, "I understand, platoon leader." After that, he saluted Xu Dalong and set off with a squad.

Xu Dalong continued, "Monk, you take Squad 2 and follow me to attack the Japanese army on the left wing. Xiaohu, you bring horse supplies and follow up."

Monk Wei and Wang Xiaohu answered in unison: "I understand."

Xu Dalong said, "Start the action." After that, he ran towards the battlefield ahead.

Xu Dalong and others used the high part of the Shili River embankment to block the Japanese and puppet troops' view, and advanced forward, quickly arrived at the top of the river embankment, which was just behind the Japanese left wing.

Xu Dalong lay on the ground, and Monk Wei also led the soldiers of the second squad to unfold the river embankment, loading bullets, ready to attack the enemy.

Xu Dalong assigned the soldiers to shoot their respective targets. He first aimed at the enemy's machine gunner and gently pulled the trigger.

The situation of the Third Company was very dangerous. A large number of Japanese and puppet troops crossed the ice, less than 40 meters away from the Third Company's blocking position. The Japanese troops on both sides of the left and right were also approaching step by step.

The third company commander was determined to repel the attack of the frontal enemy first, so he raised his sword and was about to issue a charge order.

At this moment, violent gunfire suddenly sounded on the left side of the Third Company's position. The Third Company Commander quickly turned his head and looked over.

The Japanese army on the left wing of the position used machine gun fire to suppress the Eighth Route Army soldiers who blocked them and launched a charge in the form of scattered lines.

More than half of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the squad responsible for the blocking were killed or injured. They lacked ammunition and could not stop the Japanese army's charge. They also installed bayonets on their guns to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

There are only five people left in them now, and there are at least 20 Japanese devils in front. They know they are not afraid.

The Japanese soldiers obviously understood the intentions of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Except for the machine gunners and grenade launchers, the other Japanese soldiers stopped shooting and rushed forward with bright bayonets.

Xu Dalong shot and killed the Japanese machine gunner with one shot, and then killed the Japanese deputy shooter.

The soldiers of the second squad killed two Japanese grenade launchers. Monk Wei held a machine gun and swept the backs of the Japanese soldiers who were charging.

The Japanese army on the left wing were charging forward and were unprepared for the attack behind. Twelve or three were killed on the spot.

The Japanese Chief Cao looked back in horror and was shot in the middle of the eyebrows by Xu Dalong. The remaining Japanese were panicked and killed by the soldiers of the second squad.

The officers and soldiers of the Third Company were very excited when they saw reinforcements coming.

The Japanese and puppet troops who were charging were panicked about the sudden incident. They stopped and hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Xu Dalong, Monk Wei and others had turned their guns and opened fire fiercely at these Japanese and puppet troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops in front fell one after another and suddenly became a mess.

The third company commander was not willing to let go of such a fighter plane. He suddenly jumped out of the trench and yelled: "Brothers, rush!"

After saying that, he took the lead in holding the big knife and pounced forward.

The officers and soldiers of the Third Company who had already been preparing to charge jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese and puppet soldiers with bright bayonets.

The puppet soldiers had been stunned for a long time and turned around and ran away in a mess.

The Japanese behind were also a little confused by the sudden incident and didn't know what to do for a moment. The Japanese squad leader hurriedly ordered the Japanese to stop the puppet army from retreating, but the puppet army was large in number, and they rushed over and disrupted the Japanese formation.

Xu Dalong said to Monk Wei: "Monk, you will lead people to block the group of Japanese devils on the right wing." After that, he rushed up with the officers and soldiers of the Third Company.

Xu Dalong ran too fast, and he caught up with the third company team in a short while.

At this time, the company commander of the Third Company saw that the enemy had retreated. Because they had limited ammunition in their hands, they did not destroy many enemies. He was worried that if he pursued him, the enemy would stabilize his position. His troops were exposed to the river embankment and ice surface. If they were counterattacked by the enemy, they would suffer heavy casualties. So he prepared to stop the attack and retreat to his original defensive position.

At this moment, Xu Dalong ran over and shouted: "Third Company Commander, the enemy is in chaos. Don't miss this fighter plane, rush up and defeat them."

When the third company commander saw Xu Dalong coming, he said in surprise: "Dalong, why are you here?"

Xu Dalong said, "Catch it quickly, let me tell you again."

After saying that, he continued to rush forward.

The third company commander admired Xu Dalong very much. He didn't talk nonsense and followed Xu Dalong tightly. The officers and soldiers of the third company shouted and rushed forward.

After the Japanese squad leader was carried by the defeated soldiers for a while, he knew that this was not a solution, so he ordered the Japanese to lie down on the spot, preparing to block the pursuit of the third company, stabilize the position, and then gather the collapsed puppet troops.

At this moment, many muzzles suddenly stretched out from the grave behind them and shot them violently.

The Japanese squad leader was hit by several machine gun bullets on the back, spitting blood in his mouth, and died immediately. More than a dozen Japanese were also knocked to the ground.

The sudden attacks of Zheng Xirong and others made the already chaotic enemy even more panicked, collapsed, and completely lost the ability to resist.

While running, Xu Dalong killed the Japanese who could see one by one, and shouted loudly: "Stop the gun and do not kill them, the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners with preferential treatment."

The third company commander and the officers and soldiers of the third company also shouted together to make the puppet troops surrender.

At this time, most of the Japanese had been shot dead. When the puppet soldiers saw that there were enemies in front and behind, most of them knelt on the ground and surrendered with guns in their hands.

This time, the remaining Japanese were exposed and killed by Xu Dalong and others.

At this time, on the right wing of the Third Company's position, Monk Wei and others were fighting with the Japanese army.

Wang Xiaohu left a soldier to take care of the horses, and he also surrounded Monk Wei with two soldiers and participated in the battle.

At this time, there were still more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the right wing. When they saw that the large number of Japanese and puppet troops on the river were destroyed, they did not dare to fight and turned around and ran away.

Monk Wei and others chased the enemy with firepower and killed several Japanese troops.

The Japanese ran very fast, and Monk Wei and others chased after him for a while, and they seemed to be unable to catch up.

At this moment, Zheng Xirong led a group of soldiers to ride horses to block the Japanese's retreat. Monk Wei and others attacked each other and completely wiped out the group of Japanese.

The Third Company was originally in a very passive situation. The Third Company Commander and the soldiers had already determined to sacrifice. Unexpectedly, due to the appearance of Xu Dalong and others, the battlefield situation actually took a counterattack, and completely wiped out the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops. The officers and soldiers of the Third Company happily confiscated the weapons left by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Xu Dalong asked, "Company Commander, why are you here?"

The third company commander was only happy. When he heard Xu Dalong's question, he realized and told Xu Dalong about the situation of the first battalion attacking the Zhaozhuang stronghold.

Xu Dalong said: "You leave a squad here to confiscate weapons, and the rest, hurry up and replenish bullets, let's go to Zhaozhuang."

The third company commander hurriedly arranged the arrangements, and soon as he assembled the troops, and went to Zhaozhuang with Xu Dalong and others.

The battalion commander Wang Zhenlin was very depressed. The officers and soldiers of the battalion had launched four attacks on the Zhaozhuang stronghold, all of which were repelled by the enemy, and many soldiers were injured and killed.

The correspondent sent by the third company commander reported him another bad news, saying that the third company was blocking the enemy's reinforcements. The enemy had a large number of troops and strong firepower. The third company might find it difficult to stop the Japanese and puppet troops' reinforcements.

Wang Zhenlin felt very cowardly, so he ordered the last attack on the Zhaozhuang stronghold. If he could not fight, he would temporarily lead the troops to retreat.

He asked the correspondent sent by the third company commander to go back and tell the third company commander that they would hold on for another 40 minutes, and then retreat in the direction of Zhaozhuang.

Then he ordered the First Company and the Second Company to launch a charge at the Japanese stronghold at the same time.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold repelled four attacks from the Eighth Route Army. They are now experienced and full of confidence.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment launched another charge, they shot fiercely at the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army again.

The soldiers of the first company and the second company rushed to the next side of the trench again. This time they carried four ladders, set them on the trench in the enemy's rain of bullets, and then stepped on the ladder and rushed towards the opposite side.

The puppet army concentrated firepower to block the ladder, and the soldiers fell one after another. Two Japanese kept throwing grenades at the ladder from the top of the artillery tower. The soldiers fell one after another, and even the ladder was blown up. This time the attack failed again.

When the first battalion commander saw this, his eyes were almost bleeding. He grabbed the hat on his head and threw it hard on the ground. He stood up and prepared to launch a charge in person.

The deputy battalion commander beside him saw that the battalion commander had lost his mind and hurriedly said, "Battleman Commander, this battle cannot be fought like this. Let's retreat temporarily and talk about it later."

After all, Wang Zhenlin is an experienced veteran soldier. Reason finally defeated the impulse. He had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

At this moment, smoke and dust were rolling in the direction of Shili River, and soon a large group of people appeared.

Wang Zhenlin felt a little "sudden" and was worried that the Third Company would be defeated by the enemy. He immediately ordered the deputy battalion commander to take a platoon of soldiers to pick up the Third Company.

The deputy battalion commander called a platoon of soldiers from the first company and ran forward dozens of meters, then ambushed in a canal on the side of the road, preparing to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops chasing the third company.

Wang Zhenlin began to retreat with the officers and soldiers of the first and second companies.

The Japanese and puppet troops guarding the stronghold saw the rolling smoke and dust on the other side of the Shili River, and also saw the troops besieging them starting to retreat. They breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cheer.

Wang Zhenlin and the officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment were depressed, drooped their heads, and marched silently.

The deputy battalion commander of the first battalion saw a person running in front of him. It was the correspondent of the third company. He hurriedly met him and asked nervously: "The enemy reinforcements are catching up with him. How many people are there?"

The correspondent was full of excitement. He gasped for a few breaths and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander," it's gone," and then gasped.

The deputy battalion commander couldn't understand what he meant and asked, "What's gone?"

The correspondent took two more breaths and said, "Report to the deputy battalion commander, the Japanese reinforcements are gone, and they are all annihilated by us."

"What?" The deputy battalion commander was shocked. He knew that the Japanese and puppet troops who came to reinforce had a total of 200 or dozens of people, as well as so many machine guns and mortars, and the third company had only 100 people, and there were very few ammunition. He didn't believe that they had wiped out all the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops, but he didn't believe that he had killed them.

The deputy battalion commander asked in confusion: "What's going on? If you dare to lie about military information, I will kill you."

The correspondent said excitedly: "It's true. It turns out that Xu Dalong from the kitchen team of our regiment headquarters has arrived. He helped us fight the third company. He really killed the Japanese and puppet troops and seized a lot of weapons and ammunition."

Xu Dalong is a great man from the New Group, and everyone knows it. The last time he went to Wanjia Town, the deputy battalion commander also followed him. He heard that it was Xu Dalong who helped fight this battle, so he immediately believed it.

He said excitedly, "Go and tell the battalion commander quickly." After that, he met the crowd in the distance.

Wang Zhenlin and others were marching, and suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Battery Commander, stop quickly!"

Wang Zhenlin stopped and turned around and saw the correspondent of the third company running over.

This time, the correspondent of the Third Company learned to be smart. In order to avoid the battalion commander asking questions like the deputy battalion commander, he shouted directly: "Battalion Commander, Xu Dalong is here. He helped our Third Company eliminate the Japanese reinforcements."

Wang Zhenlin was overjoyed. After he asked the correspondent of the Third Company about the situation, he shouted: "Brothers, the Japanese reinforcements are gone, I will kill them back."

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion had already heard the shouts of the correspondent of the Third Connect. Everyone was in high spirits. The back team immediately changed to the front team and surrounded the Zhaozhuang stronghold again.

Now, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were no longer arrogant. They had already seen clearly that what came from afar was not their reinforcements, but the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army that had just retreated had returned. They suddenly became nervous.

When Wang Zhenlin saw Xu Dalong, he punched him on the shoulder, then gave Xu Dalong another bear hug and said happily: "Brother Dalong, you have done a beautiful job. After this battle, we brothers will have a good drink."

After the greetings, Xu Dalong asked, "How is the situation here?"

Wang Zhenlin said depressedly: "Damn it, the Japanese and puppet troops are guarding the artillery tower. We don't have artillery and can't attack."

Xu Dalong observed for a while and found that the artillery towers in the stronghold were built very scientifically. The two artillery towers could form cross-fire power to each other and could not completely seal their shooting holes. No wonder the brave and combative battalion officers and soldiers could not do anything to them.

Xu Dalong thought about it carefully and had an idea.

After Xu Dalong expressed his ideas, Wang Zhenlin, deputy battalion commander and other company cadres thought it was feasible in the first half. However, in the second half of Xu Dalong's plan, everyone shook their heads and thought it was completely impossible.
