When Zhao Gang led the guard squad to the Drum Tower, he found that the brigade commander was still there.

Zhao Gang became anxious and said, "Brig Commander, why haven't you left yet? Go away quickly."

The brigade commander burned the documents slowly and asked Zhao Gang: "Have the remaining grain been distributed?"

"There is no time anymore." Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "We simply opened the warehouse and let the people in the city take it. Anyway, a grain of food cannot be left to the Japanese."

"Where is the 358th Regiment?" the brigade commander asked again, "Have you retreated?"

"It has been withdrawn." Zhao Gang nodded, "but the brigade headquarters has not withdrawn."

While the two were talking, the brigade commander had burned out the documents that were not much and said, "Zhao Gang, check it again to see if there are any other missing."

"The brigade commander is away quickly, I will check it."

After saying that, Zhao Gang asked the guard squad behind him to protect the brigade commander from leaving.

After the brigade commander left, Zhao Gang checked the drum tower inside and outside again, and confirmed that there were no useful documents left. He then left the drum tower and turned over and came to lock the door.

As a result, just as I arrived at the city gate, two plainclothes suddenly emerged from the alley next to me.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang's reaction was also practiced. Seeing the shell gun in plainclothes's hand, he instinctively slammed into his snatch.

Only two gunshots were heard, and Zhao Gang's war horse under his crotch was shot and fell to the ground. However, Zhao Gang escaped by luck, and then used the fallen war horse as cover to shoot against the two plainclothes.

A magazine was quickly finished, but it was stuck when replacing the magazine.

Seeing this, the two plainclothes opposite immediately surrounded him from left to right.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city gate, and then a cavalry rushed in like an electric engine. The cavalry leader Sun Desheng was the first to be covered in blood.

Sun Desheng saw Zhao Gang at a glance and immediately yelled: "Kill!"

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the two plainclothes turned around and wanted to run away, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Desheng had already caught up with him, chopped left and right, and two plainclothes heads fell to the ground, turning into two headless corpses and laying on Dabeimen Street.

"Political commissar, get up and follow us, and the devils will be talking to you."

Sun Desheng said, signaling his subordinates to bring a military horse.

Seeing that it was an extra military horse, Zhao Gang was not polite and quickly turned over to the horse.

When leaving the city gate, Zhao Gang asked, "Where are the other soldiers in the cavalry battalion? You are the only ones left?"

"How is that possible?" Sun Deshengdao, "The cavalry companies of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have been built."

"Caval 2nd Company, 3rd Company, Machine Gun Company and Cavalry and Cannon Company. I have asked them to go to Dongluo Town in advance. I went to the city to pick you up."

Zhao Gang immediately heard something was wrong and asked, "Where is the 1st Cavalry Company?"

Sun Desheng's face dimmed: "Everyone has been sacrificed, including Lao Cao."

Zhao Gang sighed softly and said, "Where is the civilians of the transport team? Has it been transferred safely?"

"Most of them have passed Gujiao County." Sun Desheng nodded, "And there is also the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army that was cut off. Don't worry, the political commissar, otherwise the brigade commander would not have let our cavalry battalion be built."

Zhao Gang said: "Since this is the case, my political commissar of the Independent League should be established."

"Political Commissar, don't go." Sun Desheng said, "You'd better follow the brigade commander."

"Nonsense." Zhao Gang flatly refused, "I am the political commissar of the Independent League, so of course I have to be with the Independent League."

Sun Desheng no longer persuaded him, and he also hoped that the political commissar Zhao Gang could stay with everyone.

...

The Independent Regiment concentrated 4 75mm mountain cannons, 5 37mm rapid-fire cannons, and 33 mortars blasted at the positions of the Japanese 3rd Brigade for more than a moment!

In just under twenty minutes, at least 1,000 shells of various types were fired!

This is almost all the reserves of the artillery battalion, and they were basically exhausted at once.

At the end of the fight, whether it is mountain cannons, rapid-fire cannons or mortars, the barrels are boiling and red.

As soon as the cannon stopped, more than 500 soldiers from the 4th Battalion, led by Zhang Dabiao, jumped out of the trenches from the trenches and launched a tide-like charge towards the confusing Japanese positions opposite.

Following behind the 4th Battalion are the other three battalions and their direct teams.

The huge attack formation composed of more than 3,000 commanders and fighters of the Independent Regiment was like a sledgehammer, hitting heavily at the defensive position of the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Looking at the main force of the group who was leaving, Yu Chengzhu shed tears.

An artillery whispered: "Battery Commander, it's time for us to leave."

"Get out!" Yu Chengzhu roared, then wiped his tears and said, "It exploded, it all exploded, leaving 9 82mm Jinfa mortars, and the remaining cannons exploded!"

The soldiers from the artillery battalion took out 50 pre-prepared melon grenades.

He knocked on the fuse and stuffed it into the muzzle, and only a burst of bangs was heard.

Looking back, I saw that the barrels of the four mountain cannons and more than 20 mortars were blooming.

The remaining 5 37mm rapid-fire cannons were also fried into scrap iron lumps by a 5-kilogram explosive pack placed under the base.

...

At this time, the commando of the 4th Battalion had already penetrated into the heart of the 3rd Brigade like a sharp triangular sting. It was Mori Mori's brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters of the Japanese are actually very easy to identify.

The one with the highest antenna is the correct one.

The Wolf Teeth Team had already determined the location of Maori's brigade headquarters early.

Therefore, the 4th Battalion's assault also came straight towards Maori's brigade headquarters.

This is also Li Yunlong's usual style. If you don't take action, you will be able to hit the key points as soon as you take action, and you will kill you directly!

In order to tear open the defense line in the shortest time, Zhang Dabiao gathered 20 light machine guns and 30 submachine guns and rushed towards the direction of the Japanese Brigade headquarters.

Faced with the fierce automatic firepower of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese army could not resist it at all.

Because in the artillery bombardment just now, the Japanese army lost most of the machine gun firepower, and a infantry squadron on the front was defeated.

After breaking through the first line of defense, the 4th Battalion continued to rush forward and attack.

The 1st Battalion, and the 3rd Battalion, followed quickly, teared the gap to both sides, and continued to expand the gap.

Then the 2nd Battalion, the Guard Company, Communications Team, Health Team, Artillery Battalion and other direct teams continued to pour into the ground of the Japanese 3rd Brigade along the gap.

Under the tide of the Independent Regiment, the 8th Independent Infantry Battalion, which remained at the headquarters of the brigade, soon could not withstand it and had already shown signs of a complete collapse.

When Fukao Iimura saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly ordered the guard squadron to protect Maori Masahiro's transfer.

Unfortunately, it was too late because Zhang Dabiao rushed over with an assault.

With just one fire attack, the guard squadron of the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade fell halfway, and the brigade commander Mori Masahiro and Chief of Staff Fukao Iimura were also beaten into sieves.

The 3rd Brigade was also defeated head-on!
Chapter completed!
