*********************************************************************

The Dragon King Temple was originally built many years ago by people to pray for good weather. The war has been going on for years, and no one has the heart to worship the Dragon King, and the incense has been greatly reduced. The temple's golden green peels off, the carvings fall, and the walls collapse, showing a declining and decay.

A canal surrounds the temple, which is formed by the people opening canals and diverting river water. The meaning of opening canals was to wish the Dragon King water, and to prepare for irrigation in dry days. A long wooden bridge spans the river surface, which is the only passage to enter and exit the temple, and it is a good defense base.

Under the supervision of officers, the puppet soldiers cut down trees, demolished walls, built fortifications along the river with bricks, stones and wood. Not far from the wooden bridge, they built several machine gun bunkers to block the only access road.

Guo Zhenru and several officers gathered on the empty ground in front of the temple. Dozens of guards were scattered around to guard the guns and guns were heard ringing everywhere, and an expression of anxiety and panic filled everyone's face.

Guo Zhenru looked around, smiled calmly, and said, "I will not destroy me. With the existing troops and this favorable terrain, I can still deal with the enemy. Let's see what he can do to me?"

"Yes, the regiment commander is right." A staff officer said, "The terrain here is dangerous. As long as you can defend the upper half of the night, you can turn the situation around when Kuranagata-jun leads his troops to attack inside and outside."

"Report to the sir, the enemy's outpost troops have already caught fire with our peripheral positions." With a fierce sound of gunfire, an officer came to report.

Guo Zhenru ordered sternly: "Tell Zhang Sanyou that he must defend the outer positions. I authorize him. If anyone is afraid of fighting in the battle, he will be executed on the spot."

The officer stood at attention and took the order and turned away.

Guo Zhenru summoned the remaining officers and scolded majestically: "Everyone, it is a good saying, "You are aware of loyal ministers in times of trouble, and you and I are brothers in times of trouble. We will raise our troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. I hope everyone will work together to support this situation. Everyone must be confident and persist with me until the final victory. Guo will not forget your contribution. If anyone is half-hearted and takes the opportunity to undermine the situation, don't blame me Guo for turning against me."

"I'm willing to serve the superiors." The officers shouted in unison.

"Okay, everyone will take their place and prepare for the battle." Guo Zhenru waved his hand and the officers dispersed one after another.

The gunshots became increasingly dense, mixed with grenades and shells explosions. A brigade of Chen's detachment chased the defeated and fleeing soldiers and quickly approached here.

The recruit who had just joined the Third Column rushed to the front of the team, full of energy, looking forward to the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. This calf, who had been supplemented by the Self-Defense Army and was still unknown, was about to use his horns to make a future.

Due to the haste, less than half of the fortifications of the puppet army were built, and messy wood and bricks were piled up all over the ground. Seeing the enemy chasing them, the puppet soldiers did not care about the fortifications and hid behind the debris, and shot in panic.

"Lying down, hiding." With the command of the company command, the soldiers lay down to avoid bullets.

The grenades began to fire. Under the cover of the explosion smoke, the soldiers jumped forward and threw a batch of grenades dozens of meters away. The violent explosion swept away the obstacles, blowing the enemy to the death of ghosts and wolves. The soldiers wedged into the enemy's position in one fell swoop.

A group of puppet troops rushed up, trying to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers had just entered the position and had not yet established a firm foothold to turn them out of the front line. Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers yelled and approached the enemy and launched a hand-to-hand combat.

Although the puppet army had undergone some military training and had higher quality than the local Imperial Army, they had little combat, lacked practical experience, and had not experienced bloody battle scenes. When they saw the dazzling bayonet, they were timid and softened a little. When they saw several bloody corpses stabbed by the soldiers, they became even more frightened and dodged and retreated.

An officer shouted hoarsely, "There is a reward for killing the enemy", and led a dozen soldiers to rush up. Wai Mao saw a glimpse, pounced on the slanted thorn, kicked away the two chairs blocking the front, and headed straight for the puppet army officer. The puppet army officer rushed forward, but did not notice that Wai Mao suddenly penetrated. Seeing the bright bayonet, he was so scared that he retreated, tripped onto a piece of wood, and fell backwards.

The wicked man snatched the bayonet into the stomach of the puppet army officer. The puppet army officer screamed, and his intestines were hooked out by the bayonet. More than a dozen puppet army soldiers were frightened, shouted, turned around and ran away.

The shouts of killing were shocking, and other troops arrived one after another and entered the battle. The frightened puppet army could not withstand the fierce attack of the new forces. After a little resistance, they retreated and flocked to the Dragon King Temple.

The remaining enemies who retreated to the Dragon King Temple rushed to the wooden bridge, pushing and squeezing, and were in chaos.

Captain Zhao Qing rushed up, raised his arms and shouted, "Go forward at full speed and grab the wooden bridge to win."

"Roar, grab the wooden bridge." The soldiers shouted, rushing forward with all their might.

When the officers in the Dragon King Temple fortification saw this situation, they kept shouting: "Machine gun, block the wooden bridge quickly."

The machine gun shooter in the bridgehead machine gun bunker was nervously ready to go.

"Brother, accumulate virtue and let us go." The puppet troops on the bridge were crowded and begging hard.

When the Sagittarius saw this miserable scene, they immediately hesitated.

Seeing that the enemy was about to step onto the wooden bridge, the two puppet officers who escaped the bridge jumped into the bunker, kicked the machine gun shooter like crazy, rushed to the machine gun, and opened fire violently at the wooden bridge.

Under the concentrated strafing of cross fire, the puppet soldiers squeezing on the bridge fell down in pieces, their bodies were stacked on the bridge, and blood flowed into the river along the bridge board.

The fierce firepower blocked the way forward of our army. Zhao Qing lay on the ground, and with a hey, his fist slammed hard on the ground.

………

As soon as Cang Yongjia lay down and slept for a while, he was awakened by a telegram. He had not yet had a sleepiness, but was shocked by the sudden news.

The telegram was sent by the puppet troops on the north route. They were suddenly attacked by the enemy. Judging from the extent of their troops, there were probably at least one thousand people. I still don’t know if there are any reserve forces. In the face of the hasty battle, the soldiers were damaged and the situation was critical. I hope the telegram was urgently needed to make a decision.
