The attack came too suddenly. At that time, most of the soldiers at the stronghold were still sleeping in the barracks, and everyone, including themselves, was caught off guard, so the opponent had the opportunity to quickly destroy the two castles and break through the circular defense line composed of the castles.

More and more soldiers entered the position. After the castle that had not had time to open fire just now joined the battle one after another, other infantry without the cover of the chariot were immediately blocked outside the stronghold.

Six tanks and less than one company of infantry that had broken through the defense line of the castle instantly turned from commandos into a lonely army.

As long as you find a way to kill this lonely army and destroy the six enemy chariots, you will definitely not be able to capture the stronghold with just one group of infantry.

The master's mind was running rapidly, and soon he thought of a way to break the deadlock to defend the stronghold. He pulled out his command knife and ordered: "The troops defending the castle to strengthen their firepower output. They must block the infantry outside the stronghold and prevent them from getting close to the stronghold!"

"Immediately organize suicide squads to counterattack the enemy who entered the stronghold, destroy the chariots with explosives, and eliminate the infantry behind the chariots."

Whether the National Salvation Army can take over the stronghold and grab oil and supporting ammunition, the victory or loss of the commando is crucial.

After many requests for battle, Shen Liwen took the position of commando captain.

He personally commanded a company of the mobile battalion and attacked the stronghold under the cover of the armored company. He first took down the warehouse where the Japanese stored oil, and then the center blossomed, and cooperated with the main force to capture the stronghold.

After the commando successfully broke through the castle defense line, Shen Liwen was particularly excited and felt that he was already in the hands of victory.

Just as he was about to continue to attack the closest artillery tower to him, an accident happened.

A company of Imperial Army and forty or fifty Japanese suddenly rushed out from behind the artillery tower. Some were holding guns and some were holding explosive bags, and rushed towards the commando as if they were desperate.

At the beginning, the puppet army was a little afraid of death, but they were not very determined to rush.

After the Japanese in charge of the battle behind stabbed seven or eight people to death with bayonets, the remaining puppet troops did not hesitate and rushed forward with their eyes closed.

"No, this is the suicide squad dispatched by the Japanese. They want to use explosive packs to destroy tanks and armored vehicles!" Shen Liwen understood their purpose as soon as he saw the Japanese and puppet troops and the weapons in their hands.

He decisively raised his submachine gun and fired at the puppet army who had already rushed forty meters away. He held the fire and ordered: "Everyone fires, you must not let them get close to the chariot... and beat me hard!"

The armored company also realized the danger and put the heavy machine gun on the vehicle into battle at the same time.

The six tanks were equipped with a total of twelve heavy machine guns. The commando brought nine light machine guns and more than ten submachine guns. As soon as they opened fire, the flying bullets woven into an airtight firepower net in front of the Japanese and puppet troops.

No matter how desperate the Japanese and puppet troops fought, they could not rush to thirty meters away from the chariot.

Except for more than twenty Japanese and puppet troops who saw the situation was not good and took the opportunity to retreat, more than one hundred and thirty Japanese and puppet troops were all killed.

The dense corpses were scattered in front of the commando, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people's scalp numb and particularly creepy!

"The commando keep moving forward!" Shen Liwen wiped the cold sweat that had just been scared from his forehead, and was very anxious to order.

Because the Japanese dispatched suicide squads, the commando had been delaying here for several minutes.

The task given to him was to quickly break through, and before the Japanese could react, find the warehouse where the oil was stored, protect it, and then the center blossomed.

This means that the longer you spend in the stronghold, the more time the Japanese can send troops to counterattack.

If they see that their ultimate goal is the oil warehouse and take the lead in destroying the oil, the commando's action will fail!

So he had to immediately take down the artillery tower in front, enter the stronghold, and find the oil warehouse.

The Japanese Grandpa also saw that the next target of the commando was the artillery tower. Although the stronghold garrison in the counterattack just now lost more than 100 people at once, in order not to allow this group of enemies to enter the stronghold, he had to find a way to protect the artillery tower that Chen Liwen was attacking.

Gritted his teeth and mobilized more than 100 subordinates to launch a counterattack on the commando.

The Japanese and puppet troops who counterattacked this time were the Japanese and puppet troops. They rushed forward with more decisiveness than the puppet troops, and their various tactical actions were also more sensitive. They did not rush forward with their eyes closed like the puppet troops and died in vain.

While rushing over to find cover to avoid the rain of bullets shot towards him, the losses were significantly reduced.

The defensive pressure of the commando suddenly increased, and Japanese continued to seize the commando's defense loopholes and rushed to the vicinity of the combat chariot.

But the submachine gunmen guarding next to the chariot are not vegetarians, and directly use firepower to weave a gap that the Japanese cannot overcome.

As he was about to rush to the tank, a shuttle of submachine gun bullets swept towards him, hoping instantly turned into despair, and finally fell to the ground with a pair of desperate eyes.

"Boom..."

An explosion suddenly sounded at the terrain of the chariot in front. In the splashing flames, the chariot tracks were instantly blown into parts, and then stopped in place and disappeared.

Chen Liwen was shocked and the commando was blown up with a tank before it rushed into the stronghold. This was undoubtedly a very bad start.

But the commando has crossed the most difficult defense line of the castle, and it is impossible to retreat. Even if there are swords and fires waiting for it in front of you, the commando still has to face the difficulties and complete the task.

The submachine gun in his hand had been replaced with the fourth magazine, and the barrels were all hot due to continuous shooting, but he couldn't care so much. Seeing the Japanese getting closer and closer, they could only shoot at them desperately to save the remaining five tanks.

After the fifth magazine was empty, there were no Japanese standing in front of the commando.

Before Chen Liwen could take a breath, he rushed to order: "The commando continues to advance and take down the artillery tower!"

"Boom..."

The tanks blocking Shen Liwen quickly blew out a stream of black smoke, crushing the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops on the ground and rushed towards the artillery tower.

"boom……"

When there were more than ten meters away from the artillery tower, the tank gun decisively shot into the shooting hole on the second floor.

The shells accurately passed through the shooting hole and smashed into the artillery tower, and then the machine gun that the Japanese set up on the second floor of the artillery tower was silent.

Several soldiers following the tank took the opportunity to rush to the door of the artillery tower and threw three grenades into it.

"Boom boom boom..."

As soon as the explosion sounded, several soldiers rushed into the artillery tower with guns...

"The second platoon is responsible for seizing the artillery tower, relying on the artillery tower to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, and cover us. The others continued to fight with me into the stronghold and look for a warehouse for storing oil. The faster the better!"

On the roof of the central artillery tower of the stronghold, watching the commando and five tanks rush into the stronghold with great momentum, the glimmer of hope that the Major had just ignited was replaced by despair again.

The two waves of counterattack troops were almost all mobile troops that could be drawn by the stronghold, and only one tank was destroyed.

Now the opponent has crossed the artillery tower and rushed into the stronghold, and there is no mobile force available in his hands. He has no choice but to fight back, so he can only watch them rush around the stronghold and kill all directions.

As expected, the central artillery tower where they are located will become their next target of attack.

"Boom..."

The artillery tower under my feet suddenly exploded, and then a large amount of black smoke appeared from the second-floor shooting hole.

Immediately afterwards, a few "boom boom boom..." grenade explosions came from the first floor.

A tank rushed to the foot of the artillery tower with an infantry squad, preparing to conquer the artillery tower layer by layer.

Chen Liwen took the remaining three armored vehicles and about a platoon of infantry to the stronghold warehouse and barracks area to look for fuel.

Seeing this scene, the Major vaguely felt that this commando had other plans and was not simply conquering the stronghold.

I just thought of some ideas in my mind, and a few grenades with white smoke flew from the entrance of the stairs to the roof of the cannon.

"It's a grenade, everyone lie down...boom boom boom..."

The guard's screams and the grenade explosion sounded almost at the same time.

Although the two guards fell to the ground immediately, two grenade fragments still penetrated into his body...

"Battery Commander, I found it. All the oil we are looking for is piled up in this barracks..." A soldier suddenly shouted in the stronghold camp.

Chen Liwen rushed over and took a look and smiled.

There were dozens of gasoline barrels piled up in the small room, and dozens of wooden boxes piled up in the other corner of the room. You can tell at a glance that they were ammunition used by the chariots.

Even though he was excited, the battle in the stronghold was not over. Chen Liwen quickly calmed down and ordered with a serious face: "The guard squad and an armored vehicle left to protect the oil warehouse. Without the orders of me and the regiment commander, no one could get close to the oil warehouse within fifty meters, otherwise military law would be carried out."

"The others followed me to the center to bloom, cooperated with the main force to capture the strongholds, and eliminate the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

The Hedi Town stronghold, whether it is a gun tower or a castle, has a shooting hole facing outside.

Chen Liwen led the commando to attack the artillery tower and the castle from the stronghold, and was almost not attacked, and easily touched the target.

The next battle was ready. Two grenades were stuffed into the castle through the shooting hole. When the explosion broke out, the Japanese and puppet troops inside were blown up to the point of blood...

After the Hedi Town stronghold was attacked, the Major immediately sent a telegram for help.

When the news reached the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, half an hour had passed.

During the day, both the commander and the chief of staff were swearing that the National Salvation Army had no strength to take the initiative, and the relevant information collected by the intelligence department also proved this judgment.

I didn't expect that I was slapped in the face by the National Rescue Army less than ten hours after I said this sentence.

Looking at the telegrams requesting for help from the military headquarters after being forwarded layer by layer, the deputy chief of staff on duty must not dare to make decisions.

The National Salvation Army is a major concern for the Shanxi garrison. As long as it is related to the National Salvation Army, it is not a trivial matter.

Under normal circumstances, news of a medium-sized stronghold being attacked cannot reach the military headquarters at all.

Because the enemy attacking the stronghold was the National Salvation Army, the talents below reported to the military headquarters layer by layer.

After all, no one knows whether the attack on the Hedi Town stronghold was an ordinary raid by the National Salvation Army or part of one of their combat plans.

When the commander and the chief of staff came to contact the Hedi Town stronghold to learn about the latest war situation, the radio signal in the stronghold was interrupted.

"Sir, I can't figure it out. Shouldn't the National Salvation Army be trained in its own defense zone and restored its combat effectiveness? Why did it run to Hedi Town all of a sudden!" The Chief of Staff stared at the sand table and asked in confusion.

The commander shook his head: "I can't understand what the purpose of the National Salvation Army is doing this?"

"The telegram for help said that the National Salvation Army dispatched six tanks to raid the Hedi Town stronghold. The garrison at the stronghold was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses."

"Now the stronghold has lost contact. Based on my understanding of the National Salvation Army, something happened to them!"

Speaking of this, a hint of anger flashed across the commander's face, looking at the door with dissatisfaction orders: "Let the intelligence department immediately find out the latest situation of the Hedi Town stronghold."

"The National Salvation Army assembled heavy troops to raid the Hedi Town stronghold and dispatched six tanks. Our intelligence system did not receive any news. This was clearly a dereliction of duty and a crime!"
