    As night falls, the sound of gunfire in the distance gradually fades away.

    After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, both the offensive and defensive sides were exhausted. As soon as it got dark, they made a tacit understanding to shrink their troops and accumulate strength to prepare for another fight the next day.  At the same time, he also used a rat weapon to avoid a sneak attack in the dark, so dazzling flares were fired one after another.  From time to time, one or two series of "click-click-click" machine gun sounds can be heard from the sentry posts in the forward positions.

    The main force of Qiu Ying, Xie Ying and the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion have advanced to the Dong'an line. They are less than six miles away from the smoke-filled battlefield. At their feet is the position where the 52nd Division of the Japanese Army blocked the main force of Gaoqiao in the morning.

    Following the muddy trenches and stepping over corpses soaked in mud and snow, Master Chen came to the former enemy command post where Lu Bochuan, chief of staff of the 2nd Guerrilla Column in the Third Theater, had fought.

    ?? **Major Morimura, the liaison officer of the 11th mixed brigade, has been waiting for a long time. He bowed ninety degrees to Master Chen, "Chen Sang, I leave the bodies of the wounded and warriors to you."

    "This is what we should do." Young Master Chen raised his hand in return, with a sincere and solemn expression on his face.

    Major Morimura bowed again, pointed to the map under the oil lamp and said: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, has also asked me to tell you that the Tottori Regiment and the Pingyuan Brigade have attacked the Caoqiao line. At the latest at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, they will be able to  Launch an attack on the enemy from the left wing. In view of the slight shortage of troops, I hope your troops can deploy powerful troops to penetrate the enemy's right wing overnight to form a three-sided encirclement."

    The Japanese's confidence was so high that they actually allocated their troops according to a ratio of one to ten, which directly led to the Pingyuan Brigade of the 17th Division that advanced alone and was almost surrounded and annihilated. The troops directly under the Takahashi Brigade and the Nishino Brigade that attacked frontally also suffered more than half of their casualties, so that  At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two and a half squadrons of the Murakami Battalion, which was performing a "mopping up" mission, were ordered to assemble, and together with the logistics troops responsible for transporting ammunition supplies, they were all put into the frontal battlefield.

    There were still four and a half hours left before the war started. Naturally, Master Chen would not refuse this request. However, considering that Wang Jingwei had already spoken to the Japanese side, he still pretended to be hesitant and said, "Morimura-kun, the order from His Excellency the brigade commander is logical."  Said that the headquarters should implement it to the letter. However, Mr. Wang and General Ying Zuo have reached an agreement on this issue, so it must be authorized by Shanghai."

    Thousands of troops stood still. If they had attacked earlier, the battle would not have been like this, and the casualties of the troops would not have been so heavy. When mentioning the so-called agreement and authorization, Major Morimura became angry. Considering that the supply line was still in the hands of others, and  Not daring to get angry easily, he had to swallow his temper and say: "Chen Sang, interspersed does not mean fighting. You can completely understand it as taking over the new defense area and maintaining law and order in the defense area like in Wubei."

    "Is there any difference?"

    "Of course, at least Mr. Wang will not blame you for this." Seeing that Master Chen was still hesitating, Morimura added, "Chen Sang, time is urgent. Do you really want me to send a message to Mr. Harada, the head of the Secret Service?"

    There is no doubt that they had communicated with the "Boarding Force" intelligence room before coming here.

    Young Master Chen nodded slightly, and then said with embarrassment: "Morimura-kun, in this case, there is no reason why our headquarters should not execute it. The key is that our weapons and equipment are outdated, ammunition is seriously insufficient, and there are almost no heavy weapons. To carry out such an arduous task, it is difficult to carry out such an arduous task.  It¡¯s really powerless.¡±

    "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, has already considered this. The third batch of supplies in the afternoon can be handed over to you; a squadron of the mountain artillery brigade and the two artillery squads of the Murakami brigade can also cooperate with your unit to fight. In short, the firepower  aspect is never a problem.¡±

    A pie fell from the sky. Young Master Chen was overjoyed. He immediately turned around and shouted: "Pass my order. All Qiu Ying and Xie Ying 1st Company will immediately go to the front line to receive equipment and coordinate with the brigade commander's artillery unit.  Before twelve o'clock, we penetrated to the right flank of the enemy's position and set up defenses three to four kilometers away, and built fortifications overnight to completely block their retreat."

    "yes!"

    As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Xie Wenshan, the director of the communications department who was answering the phone, suddenly covered the microphone and reported: "Brigade, a small group of enemy troops were found in Houyu area, trying to destroy our supply line."

    This is the secret signal for the old ghost to leave the nest, and it also means that the action must be taken one and a half hours in advance. Young Master Chen pondered for a moment and said decisively: "The supply line cannot be lost. Order the fourth company of Qiuying and the first and third battalions of Kuangtuan."  The company immediately carried out a clearing operation and telegraphed to Mr. Ishikawa, requesting friendly forces along the line to assist."

    With Gehu Lake on the left and Changdang Lake on the right, it was too easy for the enemy to penetrate to the rear. Not only did Major Morimura not become suspicious, he took the initiative to pick up the phone and order the troops south of the Beijing-Shanghai Line in the name of the Brigade and Regiment Headquarters.Soldiers, police and self-police groups assisted Mr. Chen in the suppression.

    At the same time, more than 230 officers and soldiers of Chen Ying's second company, led by the third search team, quickly and silently climbed through three barbed wire fences and quietly approached the Beijing-Shanghai line from outside Benniu Town.  The first company, the third company and the direct artillery battalion were just one kilometer behind them.  Whether the troops can deploy before the armored train arrives depends entirely on whether they can capture the stronghold in front of them where a Japanese team is stationed.  The reason why nearly 2,000 people were dispatched to ambush a train was not to overkill, because intelligence showed that there was a railway squadron on the train.

    The search team disappeared and reappeared, followed closely by the large group of people.

    When the first search team member climbed into the courtyard holding on to the courtyard wall covered with withered grass, a Japanese soldier was urinating.  In the deathly silence, the sound sounded like the rushing of a river.

    After a while, the world returned to silence.

    Ge Juncheng, who played the leading role in the battle to annihilate Zhang Shaohua, led five soldiers into the inner courtyard in the dark. Panting, they threw their special weapons, grenades, into the house one by one. The sudden incident shocked the Japanese army.  There was a suffocating silence for a few seconds. This moment of hesitation was the moment of life. Before they could react, the grenade exploded "bang bang bang".

    The team members rushed into the blasted house and started shooting with their newly equipped Thompson submachine guns. The second company commander also rushed inside with his brothers.

    The battle raged throughout the stronghold, with light machine guns, Thompson submachine guns and machine guns firing like a rainstorm.  Hand grenades exploded one after another, surrounded on all sides, and blooming in the middle. The Japanese team, which had never been attacked since its arrival, was caught off guard.

    There is no radio station here, and the phone lines have been cut off long ago, but Chen Changlu, the commander-in-chief of the ambush lurking in the snow, is still worried, fearing that this will alarm the snake and scare away the number one target - Seishiro Itagaki who is digging into his pocket.

    With an absolute advantage in weapons, equipment and troops, the battle came to an end in less than an hour. None of the 58 Japanese soldiers escaped the net, and all fell in the dense hail of bullets.

    "Each company operates according to plan, and the artillery battalion measures and fires the elements. There is only one and a half hours left, so we must move quickly!"

    With his order, nearly two thousand officers and soldiers of Chen Camp and the Artillery Battalion immediately took action, scraping the rails, burying explosives, and setting up machine gun positions on both sides of the roadbed.

    After nearly forty minutes of busy work, the surroundings fell silent again.  The night was dark in all directions, and the clouds covered Pingchou.  The dead forest with fallen leaves stretches its branches into the air, trembling in the cold wind.  The snow and small rivers along the railway track added to the humidity, adding an extra level of chill to those watching.

    The whereabouts of Seishiro Itagaki are top secret, and even Major Murakami and Staff Officer Hirono who are staying in Changzhou City know nothing about it.  Moreover, the brigade headquarters had just reported that a small group of enemy troops had moved behind the main force to cause damage, so it was not surprising that communications were interrupted for a while.

    At 10:58 in the middle of the night, a train was like a fire dragon, carrying a huge sound, facing the foggy night, rumbling eastward along the railway at normal speed.

    Looking at the wide and snow-white light beam in the distance, Chen Changshou was very excited. While signaling his brothers to prepare, he excitedly ordered: "Give the power to the brigade, Staff Wei and Staff Zhang. The old ghost has entered the ambush circle! The old ghost has already entered the ambush circle.  Enter the ambush circle and attack in five minutes! Attack in five minutes!¡±

    The train was getting closer and closer. When it reached a nearly 20-meter-long railway bridge, the pre-buried explosives were detonated in time, with a loud noise and flames shooting into the sky.  However, its power was limited. It only destroyed the locomotive and shook the following carriages, without even derailing.

    The explosion was an order. In an instant, the officers and soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the roadbed opened fire on the target in unison.

    The artillery battalion had already measured and shot Zhu Yuan. Almost at the same time as the explosion, the battalion commander Gu Fajian shouted at the top of his voice: "The target train is in front, the grenade is half-charged with the quick-fire fuse, the scale is 401, three rounds are fired rapidly, fire!"

    The gunner pulled the firing pin, and the shell burst out of the barrel.  Two of the first round of test shots hit, and the train wrapped in thick smoke rolled up two more fireballs.

    ¡°Bang bang bang bang¡­!¡±

    Six mortars opened fire at the same time, and the shells hit the train like hail.  To everyone's surprise, the train, which looked like a giant snake, started to fight back with such a violent attack.

    Bullets were whizzing over people's heads. Chen Changlu was extremely anxious, because after killing the train, he had to rush to Wunan to support Qiu Camp, Xie Camp and the First Regiment Battalion. He suddenly roared: "The brigade has an order, fight quickly and take no prisoners.  Brothers, give me a shot!"

    The firelight, like meteors, formed countless arcs in the night sky, heading towards the smoke-filled train cover.  In this line of fire, red balls fell one after another.  With a "bang" sound, two armored carriages wereThe gunfire overturned it, and several other sections were lying crookedly on the roadbed.

    At this time, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out from different carriages. Before they could see the situation clearly, more than a dozen tongues of fire swept across them.  The artillery had no place to use, so Chen Changlu immediately ordered: "Follow me to the first and third companies! The second company and the artillery battalion will act as planned!"

    "yes!"

    As soon as the ordering soldiers ran not far away, nearly 600 officers and soldiers took turns covering the roadbed and launched a final attack on the enemies in the train.  On the uneven front line, the brothers hurriedly pulled the triggers, "bang bang bang" hot flames rose at the same time, and rows of bullets shot out like wasps exploding their nests.

    The bullets shot out of the air and flew past the Japanese soldiers who hurriedly climbed out of the carriages with strong kinetic energy.

    This round of shooting is close and accurate.  Countless bullets formed a deadly metal wall, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere they ran over.  More than a dozen Japanese soldiers wailed and fell into pieces like grass being cut.

    The Yang Ying Company, which was lurking at the junction of Wujin and Jintan for reinforcements, was in a panic. Company Commander Yang Zhongming's limbs were stiff from the cold wind, but his palms were sweating. For him now, every minute is longer than a day.  .

    The rumble of cannons has long since ceased, but the dazzling fire in the direction of the bull run still conveys confusion, panic and excitement.  Ten minutes later, reinforcements from the stronghold were finally dispatched, and three dense columns rushed forward.

    He still watched the Japanese troops getting closer and calmly. Finally, he gave the order, and grenades were thrown from both sides of the railway track. There was a short and desolate silence after the explosion. More than 70 reinforcements were killed ten times.  Falling in a pool of blood, the stubborn Japanese soldiers rolled towards the pond beside the roadbed in one breath, and the light and heavy machine guns began to fire.

    The moon rose, illuminating the blood-colored pond. The corpses lying on the railway tracks showed yellow hands, yellow faces and yellow military uniforms in the moonlight.  Gunpowder and blood constitute a smell most familiar to soldiers, permeating and spreading.
