Chapter 1231 The Scattered Puppet Army Is a Pan of Sand
Xinglong Town is fifty miles away from Mei County.

One blockhouse for one mile, one stronghold for ten miles, and fifty blockhouses alone.

The investigation team of the Meixian Public Security Army guards the half close to the county seat, and the investigation team of the Xinglong Town Public Security Army guards the half close to Xinglong Town.

A regiment of troops in Xinglong Town.

It took more than half of the troops to station the twenty-odd gun towers and strongholds along the Xingmei Highway to block the ditch!

Due to the emergence of concentration camps, the blockade ditch to the south has not yet been formed.

Another stronghold was set up, and part of the puppet army was stationed to prevent the Eight Routes in the mountain from coming out for activities.

Due to shifts on duty during the day and night, only one company in the town could go into combat immediately after the gunfire.
Commander Wang received a call from the Imperial Army in the barracks, and the phone was disconnected before he finished speaking.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The high-tech phone was shaken until it smoked, and there was no movement. He rushed to the next room and scolded the mistress who was in charge of the call transfer.

Only then did he begin to direct his men to go out for reconnaissance.

Let the puppet soldiers who are still sleeping in the barracks next to the town hall get up and set up defenses quickly.

Scattered in the gun towers, the commanders of the puppet army squad and platoon are anxiously roaring into the microphone to ask the battalion commander of the stronghold
Although the north and the south of the town are firing guns, head Wang is not very worried.

Because the imperial army in Zhendong is close to a brigade, they will definitely come to reinforce when they hear the gunshots.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The town started shooting until it was a mess.

Unfortunately, he didn't even see the shadow of the imperial army.
The subordinates outside the town did not come to report the situation, and none of the subordinates he sent out to investigate the town came back.

Zhendong was even more silent, and head Wang began to feel uneasy.

The cross-eyed observation post lying on the roof kept reporting to him the situation in the east: "Reporting to the commander, there is a large amount of dust rising in the east, and the imperial army is not seen."

Head Wang, like an ant on a hot pot, climbed up to the roof in despair, raised his binoculars and looked east.

A cloud of dust rose up in the wilderness to cover the sky and the sun, and it was true that as Crosseyed said, nothing could be seen.

Standing on the roof, he kept giving orders to the puppet troops gathered in the courtyard of the town hall: "Move the sandbags, build a machine gun base at the door, and quickly open shooting holes on the fence."

The puppet soldiers lying on the courtyard wall heard that the firepower of the Eight Routes in the town was not weak, and when they heard the order from the regiment, they fell off the courtyard wall one after another, took out their bayonets and began to draw shooting holes in the cracks in the bricks.

Commander Wang was very anxious, the Eighth Route Army had already entered the town, and the two battalions outside the town had not returned to help so far, the situation seemed a little strange.

in view.

Eight roads began to appear on the roofs around the town hall.

Pulled out the pistol and emptied the magazines at those eight-way positions, and quickly slipped down the roof.

As soon as he went down to the first floor and jumped into the house, sporadic gunshots began to shoot towards the town hall.

It's a pity in my heart, the distance is a bit far, and even throwing a grenade can't blow up those dirt roads.

I was startled suddenly, Tubalu's grenade was probably about to be thrown over.
Quickly drilled into the tightest brick house in the town hall.

The courtyard of the town hall was crowded with people. If a grenade came over, I don't know how many people would be blown up.

His heart sank, the situation of his subordinates scattered in the town was terrible.

Being able to be the head of the regiment naturally still has some skills, so he quickly ordered: "The guard platoon, immediately take the machine gun to the roof and seize the commanding heights. The rest of the departments are scattered in the prevention and control yard to build defenses. If you don't see the eight roads, don't shoot indiscriminately."

Zhenbei.

Squad leader Wu Shi did not expect that he came to the Ninth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which he had long admired from the first division, and received a combat mission the next day.

Last night, they marched for [-] miles in a hurry, from the west of Anxian County to Nanxinglong Town, Meixian County.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, the engineer shovel in his hand was still frantically swinging.

He received the task assigned to him by company commander Chen Chong.

To take ten soldiers under his command to dig a trench three meters wide and one meter deep on the road!

On the road next to him, on the rack of rifles hung a shell gun that he had just received.

He remembered very clearly that the new company commander was called Zhenchong, and the company commander personally hung a pistol obliquely on his shoulder.

Of the one hundred and eight soldiers who came with him, he was the only one who had to be punched over the shoulder by the company commander.

He also affectionately called his nickname: Wu Shitou.
Even the acting company commander and the platoon leader did not have this honor.

Turning my head to look, the second squad leader was digging a ditch in the wasteland about 30 meters away.

He knew the purpose of doing this. If the enemy reinforcements came over in a while, the ditch in the wilderness would be his position.

On the highway, there should be more than ten ditches like this between the gun towers!
Company Commander Chen has a good temper and is kind to others.

He didn't like that company commander named Tian Sanqi, because he always had a stern face, and he even taught Company Commander Chen a lesson.
Tian Sanqi has two tasks.

One is the task assigned by the regiment leader to block the enemies who may come out from the northern artillery tower for reinforcements.

Another task was arranged by the old company commander Gao Yidao. After the second battalion passed the blockade ditch, they would cover them, preventing the puppet troops in the nearest gun tower from coming out to copy the second battalion's rear.

That idiot Chen Chong actually dug a ditch on the road.

In other words, don't the puppet army know how to detour from the nearby wilderness?
Correspondents kept sending messages.

Part of the first battalion has entered the town, and the other part is fighting with the puppet army guarding the work of the people in the north.

The third battalion has eliminated the puppet army that was guarding the people in the south of the town, and some of them have begun to organize the people to retreat westward.

Tian Sanqi felt a little upset.

He only encountered one platoon of puppet soldiers, the same platoon of puppet troops who had come north for reinforcements after hearing the warning shots fired.

At this time, more than twenty puppet soldiers were squatting in the blockade ditch at his feet with their heads in their arms, and there were more than a dozen corpses of puppet soldiers who had been stripped to pieces in the wilderness beside him.

"Those who want to survive, start filling the blockade for me now," Tian Sanqi suddenly ordered.

Wu Yan's third company commander faced only two platoons of puppet troops guarding the common people.

It is the main company commander under the false regiment leader who brings the common people out to work.

He habitually divides the remaining two platoons under his command into three parts, and defends on the left and right flanks.

After lying down on the common people, they dug it out and lined up the troops in the gutter.

With more than 30 rifles on the front, they were divided into three echelons, and they fired at the attacking battalion three times alternately.

Light machine guns placed on both wings for fire support.

At the same time, he once again yelled at the messenger: "Go to the town to find out the news!"

The platoon that pursued the Eighth Route to the north seemed to be silent.

Tian Sanqi stood firm on the deserted road.

In his southwest direction, the third company of the first battalion fought fiercely with the puppet army.

If he sends out a platoon now, even if he doesn't fire a single shot, it can collapse the false main force.

But he didn't.

His current position is almost connected with Gao Yidao's left wing.

If the devils coming out of the eastern barracks were blocked by the second battalion head-on, the little devils would probably outflank them from both wings. As long as he stayed here, the little devils would not be able to get through even if they outflanked.

Chen Chong's idea was very simple. He knew from Lao Li that there were not many puppet soldiers in the blockhouse.

There is only one squad in one blockhouse, so he is not worried that the puppet troops in the blockhouse will come out.

As the telephone wires between the blockhouses were cut one after another, the puppet troops in the blockhouses finally panicked.
There are eight roads digging "holes" between the gun towers. Some puppet soldiers speculate that the eight roads are in the anti-imperial army car reinforcements.

Outside the town hall.

Wu Yan coughed twice, feeling relieved.

Correspondents kept sending messages: "Squad [-] eliminates the remnants in the southwest of Qingzhen Town", "Squad [-] eliminates the remnants of enemies in the west of Qingqing Town." "Squad [-] eliminates the remnants of enemies in the northwest of Qingqing Town".
There was no more gunshots from all directions, and only the town hall in the center of the town and a few nearby courtyards remained unconquered.

The machine gun bullets fired from the roof of the town hall roared densely in the town, and finally burrowed into the earth wall with a puff, or ricocheted on the stone-paved street.

Most of the puppet army hid behind the wall of the town hall and fired from the shooting holes.

Perhaps there have been no casualties, and the security forces hiding behind the wall slowly began to gain confidence after a period of panic.

Shooting also began to be accurate.

A battalion of fighters besieging the town hall began to suffer casualties.

Wu Yan was furious: "Immediately break through the partition walls of the houses close to the town hall, throw grenades close to them, and blow up those bastards. Enemies..."

He can no longer consider the problem of the destruction of the houses of the common people, he must solve it quickly, and the devils in the east of the town may appear at any time
The company commander under him suddenly suggested: "Doesn't the second battalion have mortars and grenade launchers? They haven't fought yet. Why don't battalion commander Gao send someone back for reinforcements?"

[Jia Geng returned the Hanjiang Chuxue tent, the brothers smashed tickets and eggs over]
