On the other side, Chen Liang and the others were leading the main force back to the Yang Family Village.
When they retreated to the Yang Family Village, the liaison officer sent by Zhao Gang finally arrived.
The soldier ran up to Chen Liang while panting. He did not even bother to salute and said,""Regiment commander, bad news. The Japanese have discovered our base.
Committee Leader Zhao and Battalion Commander Sun are currently blocking the way. The government has sent me here to ask for your help!”
"What?" Chen Liang was shocked and did not ask further.
"Monk, pass on my order. The air defense camp will stay behind to watch over the bandits 'captives and supplies. Send the rescued civilians back to the Yang Family Village."
In addition, distribute all the food we seized from the bandits to the people of the Yang family village to make up for their losses.
All other battalions, follow me and march at full speed!”
"Yes, sir!" Monk Wei quickly turned around and passed down Chen Liang's order.
The anti-aircraft battalion had left the anti-aircraft machine guns behind.
However, all the soldiers in the battalion had changed into ordinary rifles and other weapons and followed Chen Liang out.
Very quickly, Chen Liang's orders were passed to the various battalions.
Other than the air defense camp, which stayed behind to keep the bandits and supplies, they continued to enter the village.
The rest of the battalions followed Chen Liang through Yang Village.
Without stopping, they began to march at full speed towards the Wang Fortress.
The battle at the Wang Fortress had reached its climax.
The previous attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops were all defeated by the powerful firepower of the anti-aircraft machine guns.
Furious, Ichiro Hirata ordered his artillery troops to bombard the defense line where Sun Desheng and the others were.
At the same time, they sent the remaining Japanese and puppet troops to take the opportunity to charge.
Under the tactical attack of the Japanese infantry, Sun Desheng did not have the chance to shift the position of his anti-aircraft machine guns.
They could only let the machine gunners continue to fire tenaciously under the enemy's artillery fire.
As a result, the Japanese and puppet infantry suffered heavy casualties.
Their own losses were also rapidly increasing. One by one, the anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed by the Japanese's artillery shells.
Without the powerful cover of the anti-aircraft machine guns, the casualties of the Independent Regiment soldiers on the battlefield began to increase.
In particular, the Japanese had the advantage of artillery fire, which was a huge threat to the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment.
The small number of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns that they were equipped with were gradually fading away.
Seeing that the number of casualties was increasing and the number of soldiers was seriously insufficient, the situation was extremely critical.
Zhao Gang, who was in the village, had a thought and went straight to the courtyards where the prisoners of war were placed.
" My fellow countrymen," he said in a deep voice in front of them," the enemy's attack is now in full swing. The troops that I have left behind have suffered heavy casualties. The situation is extremely critical.
I ask for your help in the name of the Independent Regimental Committee. Are you willing to take up your weapons and fight the enemy with us?
Hold fast and wait for the main force of my Independent Regiment to come back to help?”
Among the national army prisoners, a company commander immediately stood up and said,""Officer Zhao, you're treating us as outsiders. We came back with Commander Chen to join you.
As long as the commander trusts us and gives us weapons and ammunition, we will immediately rush out and fight with the Japanese.”
"Yes, our lives were saved by Commander Chen. Officer Zhao, please let us participate in the battle!”
The captives of the national army echoed the crowd.
" Thank you!" Zhao Gang was very touched. He waved his hand and said," On behalf of all the soldiers in the Independent Regiment, I thank everyone!"”
"We're all Chinese, Officer Zhao is too polite."”
Zhao Gang didn't argue anymore and immediately led them straight to the military warehouse.
He distributed all the Japanese weapons and equipment that he had obtained from Chen Liang's Tiger Pavilion base and the prisoner of war camp to the 400 captives.
Then, he led them out of the village along with the hundreds of soldiers who stayed behind to reinforce Sun Desheng and the others.
At this time, on the position outside the village, due to the Japanese and puppet army's group attack regardless of the cost of casualties.
After Sun Desheng and the others used up their submachine guns and machine gun magazines, they had no choice but to engage in a bloody battle with the swarming enemies.
At this moment, there were still 700 to 800 Japanese and puppet soldiers, and less than half of Sun Desheng's 300 or so people were left.
Therefore, in terms of military strength, the Japanese and puppet armies had an absolute advantage.
The worst part was that more than half of the hundred people left in Sun Desheng's hands were new recruits.
With the advantage of equipment, it was still possible to shoot at the Japanese from a long distance.
A close-range hand-to-hand combat was not enough.
The position was about to fall and the situation was in danger.
Deafening shouts and the sound of charging could be heard from the village.
Sun Desheng slashed down a soldier in front of him and turned around.
Zhao Gang raised his pistol and led hundreds of reinforcements out of the village.
"Political Committee!" When Sun Desheng saw this, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
"Comrades, hold on to the position. Regiment Commander and the others will arrive soon! Charge! "Zhao Gang fired three shots in a row and killed three Japanese soldiers who were fighting with his own soldiers. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hundreds of captives roared and charged at the Japanese and puppet soldiers with their bayonet, engaging them in a life-and-death battle.
With reinforcements, Sun Desheng and the hundreds of veterans who had survived the bloody battle suddenly burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit and courage.
One by one, they roared and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemies in front of them, engaging in a life-and-death battle with them.
Just as the two sides were locked in battle, the battle entered a white-hot state.
An earth-shattering battle cry suddenly came from behind the Japanese.
Sun Desheng and the others, who were fighting with the Japanese, looked in the direction of the voice.
Behind the Japanese, a large group of their own troops appeared.
The leader was Chen Liang, who was holding a Thomas submachine gun. Behind him was Monk Wei and hundreds of soldiers of the Independent Regiment. They rushed over from the rear of the Japanese army with murderous intent.
Before anyone could react, the two sides of the battlefield were filled with battle cries.
Similarly, two of their own troops quickly rushed over.
It turned out that Chen Liang wanted to rush back as soon as possible.
The 60 military trucks used by the Artillery Battalion to transport artillery and shells were all vacated.
They used military trucks to transport the three main battalions and two companies back in time.
After discovering that the remaining troops were already engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese, they were shocked.
Chen Liang immediately divided the main force into three groups, with him, Zhang Dabiao, and Shen Quan each leading one group.
From the back of the devils, as well as the left and right flanks of the battlefield.
The three-way pincer attack surrounded the Japanese and puppet troops.
