The sound of gunfire rang out for a while in the stronghold, but not only did it not decrease, it actually became more intensive.

It was also accompanied by the explosion of Type 97 grenades and wooden handle grenades.

Liu Dali said happily: "It's really lively."

"Old Wei still has a way to make the Japanese and puppet soldiers bite dogs with just a few words." Wang Huaibao had to give in.

Lu Junsheng also said: "In this way, it will be much easier to capture the Japanese stronghold!"

Wei Dayong said: "The Japs in the stronghold will die tonight. If the puppet army wants to survive, they can only listen to me."

"It's almost done. If we continue to fight, the puppet troops will be killed by the Japanese."

Wang Huaibao looked around and said: "Old Wei, Old Liu, Company Commander Lu, and my brothers are resting here. I will lead the troops to rush in and capture the Dongyang stronghold!"

Wei Dayong nodded: "Okay, then go ahead and pay attention to safety!"

The stronghold is so big that if a thousand people press all on it, they won't be able to move it.

In fact, when the puppet army rebels, it only takes one consecutive attack to resolve the battle.

Because many of the third battalion are new recruits and have never participated in any battles, they can gain some combat experience through smooth battles.

"From the third battalion!"

"Follow me!"

Wang Huaibao shouted loudly, bowed and touched the stronghold.

The soldiers from the third battalion behind him followed closely with guns in hand, and headed towards the Japanese stronghold in a chaotic atmosphere.

The Japanese searchlight had been knocked down by Wang Xikui with a rifle during a previous intimidation attack.

Wang Huaibao led three battalions close to the stronghold, but were not attacked.

The Japanese and puppet troops were still fighting fiercely inside.

Wang Huaibao sent a platoon to deal with the Japanese bunker on the slope on the left outside the stronghold.

He himself led a large army towards the stronghold.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the bunker were both injured at this time.

Throwing a few wooden-handled grenades in and firing a light machine gun, the bunker was captured.

The Japanese guarding the gate of the stronghold had no time to worry about the outside. They were shooting with crooked machine guns at the puppet soldiers who were trying to seize the gate.

The puppet soldiers did not dare to fight to the death. They hid behind the bunker and poked their heads out to occasionally shoot one or two shots at the Japanese.

The Japanese's firepower suppressed the puppet soldiers' ability to raise their heads. Occasionally, the puppet soldiers showed their heads and were hit by the Japanese's precise marksmanship.

"Blow the door down!"

Wang Huaibao gave a low shout, and the two soldiers holding explosive bags bowed and touched towards the gate of the stronghold.

Ten meters closer to the gate, some Japanese soldiers discovered the demolition team of the third battalion.

Two or three Japanese soldiers fired sporadic rifle bullets at the demolition team.

When the Japanese machine gunner heard the noise, he immediately turned his gun and pulled the trigger outward.

Wang Huaibao and the soldiers of the third battalion opened fire at the same time to cover.

The soldier moved in a spiral, but was still hit by the Japanese's bullets and fell to the ground.

Although one of the soldiers was shot, he still crawled forward holding the explosive pack tightly.

The young soldier quickly climbed into the enemy's blind spot, and the enemy threw grenades from above to kill him.

However, the soldier had already climbed to the gate.

A second before the Japanese grenade exploded, the soldier pulled the match cord of the explosive pack.

A moment later, there was a loud "boom".

The gate of the stronghold was blown to pieces in an instant, and the Japs No. 56 guarding the gate were also killed.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

The three battalions charged and entered the stronghold.

Qiao Xingguan led the puppet troops to fight with the Japanese, but were beaten back by the Japanese.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had finally arrived, the puppet soldiers' morale immediately increased. They either dropped their guns and ran away, or squatted down and raised their guns above their heads.

The remaining thirty or so Japs in the stronghold were no match for the Third Battalion.

All the Japs were wiped out without any effort.

Team leader Tanaka Jiro knew that the situation was over, so he ordered two Type 92 heavy machine guns to be blown up, then he put the muzzle of the bastard box into his mouth and drank the bullets to commit suicide.

The Third Battalion captured the Dongyang stronghold at the cost of sacrificing three people and injuring five.

Of course, this was when Wei Dayong deceived the puppet soldiers into working with the Japanese.

For a real forceful attack, the number of casualties would have to be multiplied by at least five.

Wang Huaibao released the puppet troops, but all the guns and ammunition in their hands were disarmed.

After cleaning the battlefield, Wang Huaibao ordered the Japanese artillery towers, barracks and other facilities to be blown to pieces.

Then he took the captured guns, ammunition and rice flour, carried the dead soldiers and wounded, and came out to join Wei Dayong.

Wei Dayong looked at it and asked: "Old Wang, how was the harvest?"

Wang Huaibao: "One heavy machine gun, five crooked and Czech guns, more than 60 long and short guns, more than 40 bags of food, not counting bullets."

"Not bad." Wei Dayong nodded, "It's almost dawn, let's withdraw."

Wang Huaibao nodded and said: "Okay!"

Subsequently, the Special Operations Battalion and the Third Battalion, as well as a company of Lu Junsheng, withdrew from the Baijin Railway.

When they arrived at Zhangdian, Lu Junsheng and Wei Dayong parted ways.

Because they had to go back to their respective places, the two of them didn't talk much, and agreed to discuss and exchange ideas if there was an opportunity in the future.

Wang Huaibao looked at Lu Junsheng's tall back and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Wei, this guy is just as ruthless as you. There are so many masters in our Eighth Route Army!"

Wei Dayong smiled and said: "You are not bad either. You captured a stronghold with 80 people at the cost of 8 casualties. How many people can do this?"

"Don't mention it, I don't dare to take credit." Wang Huaibao said with a smile, "If you hadn't used a trick to get the Japanese and the puppet soldiers into a dog-eat-dog fight, I wouldn't have the ability."

…

Back to the independent group.

Wei Dayong and Wang Huaibao settled the soldiers, and then went to the regiment headquarters to resume their duties with Li Yunlong.

As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, Wei Dayong saw Li Yunlong looking unhappy.

Wei Dayong asked: "Captain, we have made a fortune, why are you still not happy?"

Wang Huaibao, who was beside Wei Dayong, also looked puzzled.

It shouldn't be. Li Yunlong shouldn't have such an expression after so many materials and explosives were seized in Guanshan Town.

Did something happen?

Zhao Gang said: "You two, leave him alone. He has been looking like this since he came back from Guanshan Town. He makes it seem as if everyone owes him money."

Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "It's not you Zhao Gang. Just after the battle here in Guanshan Town, you turned around and sold the independent regiment. The brigade commander rushed over in less than half an hour, and the supplies and explosives were immediately taken by the brigade.

The chief robbed two-thirds, who should I ask for explanation?"

Wei Dayong was delighted. It turned out that Lao Li had been robbed by the brigade commander again. No wonder he looked depressed.

Zhao Gang got angry and came up: "Old Li, please speak with respect!"

"What do you mean I sold the independent group?"

"Thankfully, you are still a regiment leader, but your ideological consciousness is not as good as that of a recruit. The recruits also know that what they capture must be returned to the public!"

"Besides, the brigade commander got the information before we attacked Guanshan Town. Do you think that if the brigade commander didn't go to Guanshan Town last night, there would be no need to hand over so many supplies and explosives?"
