    The battle started at noon.

    This is a mountain pass in front of Liu Ji. The small river flowing through Liu Ji makes a circle here and flows out of the mountain.  To get to Liuji, you have to cross this small river, so this river has become a natural line of defense for Zhang Xian's guard company.  There is a stone bridge on the river, which has become the only way for these Qingxiang puppet troops to pass.

    The battle lasted for a long time. Zhang Xian never understood why these puppet soldiers were so stupid. They only wanted to come over the bridge instead of swimming across the river.  Because the river is not wide.  It was not until later that he realized that these so-called armies were nothing more than a mob, and that the regiment leader was just an incompetent person who had never fought a war.

    The guard company's artillery fire was very fierce, and their marksmanship was very accurate. The puppet troops rushed for several times, but they only rushed to the bridge and then retreated due to excessive casualties. They did not dare to rush forward easily again, so the two sides were in a stalemate on the river.  of both sides.

    Compared with the Japanese troops, these puppet troops are really easy to fight. No wonder Ma Wenlong is so confident.  It seems that the task of blocking the enemy is not difficult to complete.  Therefore, Zhang Xian was not in a hurry, and waited for Ma Wenlong to successfully make a side detour, and then attack together.

    However, after the charge failed, the enemy also mobilized three cannons to attack the position of the first guard company. Their cannons turned out to be Type 92 infantry cannons, which were all drawn by mules. Obviously, their purpose was  Liu Ji's New Fourth Army.

    The Type 92 Infantry Artillery is a very excellent artillery among the Japanese army. On the East Asian battlefield, advanced and large artillery such as rocket launchers and heavy cannons on the European battlefield have not yet appeared. Due to the influence of roads and technology, this type of Type 92 infantry artillery has not yet appeared.  The second formula is particularly important.  This kind of gun is very suitable for complex terrain like China. It has a very wide range of tasks and can cover almost all types of fire support required by infantry battalions.  In addition, the simple structure not only facilitates wartime production, but is also easy to use and maintain. The most important point is that the transportation requirements are also very low, and it can be pulled by untrained animal power.  This kind of gun can shoot almost all types of targets: it can be used as a cannon when shooting flatly, which is enough to deal with civil fortifications and general masonry fortifications; it can be used as a howitzer when shooting in a straight direction, because it is a howitzer; it can be used as a mortar when shooting at a high elevation angle.  The maximum shooting angle of many mortars is only 85 degrees. Since the Type 92 infantry gun is a howitzer, its trajectory is much more stable than that of mortars, so its accuracy is also higher than that of mortars of the same caliber level (80~82 mm).  ) is much better.  At the same time, with the help of the high angle of fire, the Type 92 infantry gun can be conveniently deployed on the anti-slope position during mountainous operations. In this way, it can not only provide timely support firepower to our own troops on the ridge or frontal position, but also has a good  Hidden themselves.

    Although the guard company experienced thousands of enemy artillery fires during the Dangyang breakout, it was relatively far away after all, and they had built fortifications in advance, so they could hide in front of and behind the houses in the village to avoid the wind.  But this time it was different. The river was not very wide, only a dozen meters, so the enemy's artillery fire was too close.  Although Ji also built fortifications, he did not dig trenches. When he was hit by the enemy's artillery fire, he had nowhere to hide. He could only hide behind the trees and the soil slope, not daring to show up.  For a moment, all I could see was the roar of the shells, which exploded and splashed dirt on the ground, making people's ears buzz.  Fortunately, the puppet troops who fired the artillery did not seek accuracy. If the Japanese came to attack, more than half of the guards would be killed or injured in one company.

    At this moment, a team appeared on the battlefield. These people were all civilians. They dragged stretchers and crawled forward in a well-trained manner to the first guard company, killing the soldiers who were injured by the shells.  Lift it up and leave.  Zhang Xian looked at these villagers in surprise. Knowing that these were village militiamen, he was shocked and moved at the same time.  The quality of the people in the Communist base areas was unique. Before, he had never dared to think about it. It would be good if the people did not run away when the battle started.

    The sound of artillery weakened, and everyone climbed out of the fortifications again, only to see that many puppet troops had already crossed the stone bridge.  As a result, the machine guns fired again and grenades were thrown again, but they could no longer stop the enemy's attack.  Zhang Xian asked everyone to prepare for close combat and put the bayonet on the gun tip.

    Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from behind the enemy, and shouts of death were heard from all directions. Zhang Xian was overjoyed. Watching these puppet troops retreat one after another, he knew that Ma Wenlong was already in position, completing the siege of the enemy.

    These puppet troops obviously knew that they were surrounded. They were now in a mess, running around like a group of headless flies. The people in front ran backwards, and the people behind them ran forward again, bumping into each other, and they were in chaos.  They trampled each other violently, and there were already many casualties before they even fought.

    Zhang Xian immediately ordered the guards to fire back a barrage of artillery. These soldiers, who had just been fired by the enemy's artillery, showed no mercy when they heard the order. Five cannons fired at once, and the artillery fire?Is there any other purpose?  "

    "Can I give you a cigarette?" he suddenly asked, looking calm and composed.

    Zhang Xian frowned, shook his head, and told him: "I don't smoke, and I don't have any cigarettes."

    "Oh!" He lowered his head, then raised his head, stared at Zhang Xian, and asked with some confusion: "At first, I really didn't understand that you became a company commander at such a young age, and you are still a captain. Look at you  The soldiers under your command are also obedient and loyal to you. It seems today that you do have a unique vision and the charm of a commander, and you are better than me."

    "I don't want you to come here to listen to your flattery." Zhang Xian said impatiently.

    Chang Li forced a smile, showing his white teeth.

    "I just want to know your purpose!"

    "Okay! Let me tell you." He straightened up lazily, and then said: "I just want to follow you to fight the Japanese."

    "You?" Zhang Xian didn't believe it.

    "You must not believe it." But he could still laugh and said: "Originally, I didn't want to stay that day. I was going to take two pieces of ocean home with me like the prisoners. But you showed up, still a  The National Army, just because I can be a National Army again, that¡¯s why I stayed.¡±

    "Oh? Then why don't you want to be a member of the New Fourth Army?" Zhang Xian was very interested.

    "To be honest, I was originally from the 59th Army. I followed General Zhang Zizhong and participated in the Great Victory of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Zaoyi. Later, our regiment was surrounded by Japanese soldiers and the regiment leader became a weakling. In this way, I also  Became a puppet army. If it weren't for those brothers who couldn't bear to leave me, I would have left long ago." He told Zhang Xian.

    "That's it!" Zhang Xian was dubious, but he told him with emotion: "Since the Anti-Japanese War, the general I admire most is Zhang Zizhong. He is really the backbone of the country. In comparison, those who surrender to the Japanese are really unworthy of being a Chinese leader.  people!"

    These words were originally Zhang Xian's emotional words, but they sounded a little ashamed to Chang Liqiang. He sighed softly and murmured: "The sea can wither and the stone can rot. I will never forget the Pumpkin Shop. Commander Zhang  He died there. Although I am still alive, I am restless day and night. Although I am no longer the battalion commander today, I finally feel much calmer."

    "Are you really willing to be an ordinary soldier under me?" Zhang Xian asked with some doubts.

    Chang Liqiang gave a bitter smile and said quietly: "I only regard this as my new life. I should have returned to the national army long ago, but it has been postponed to this day, leaving a stain on this life. Now I can only start over. What is there to be willing to do?  Woolen cloth!"

    Zhang Xian was silent. He suddenly thought of himself. If one day, he was forced to a dead end by the Japanese, at that time, he would definitely choose to commit suicide and would not live an ignoble existence just to survive.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
