Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 33: Eighth Route Army! Definitely the Eighth Route Army!

Late at night, Chen Chengxing and his troops quietly left Beiwan Village.

When they were almost at Zhang's meeting, Chen Chengxing ordered:

"Xu Wu, you lead the 1st and 2nd companies to attack the two hills on the left and right. I will lead the 3rd company to raid Liang Zhenxing's headquarters. The 4th company will attack the troops on the hill behind Zhangjiahui and block the retreat of Zhangjiahui to prevent the security group from escaping."

Chen Chengxing had long regarded the weapons of the security team as his own. If his guns were taken away by these useless people, Chen Chengxing would not agree to it.

"Yes!"

After Chen Chengxing left Xu Wu and the 1st and 2nd companies behind, he led the 3rd and 4th companies and quickly crossed the foot of the mountain and headed straight for Zhangjiahui.

After entering Zhangjiahui, Company 3 and Company 4 separated again, and Company 4 took a detour to the back mountain.

According to Chen Chengxing's arrangement, Chen Chengxing would take the lead in launching a surprise attack in 20 minutes, and the 1st, 2nd and 4th companies would launch the attack after hearing the gunshots.

During the waiting time, the 1st, 2nd and 4th companies chose to get as close to the target as possible. These security guards had no vigilance at all and most of them had already gone to sleep, with only a few still playing cards all night.

The entire security corps, that is, Liang Zhenxing's headquarters, was on high alert and arranged two sentries outside the gate of the ancestral hall. However, just looking at the nodding heads of the two sentries, one could tell that these two people were basically useless.

Chen Chengxing looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up, so he whispered, "Monk, go and capture those two sentries."

"Be careful to prevent sneak attacks from secret sentries," Chen Chengxing added.

"Captain, don't worry. With my skills, I can take eight or ten people seriously." Wei Dayong said confidently.

"What? Can you dodge bullets? Or are you immortal?" Chen Chengxing said unhappily.

If you weren't so arrogant, would you have been ambushed by the mountain cat?

"Not really." Wei Dayong scratched his head.

"Then you better be careful. I don't want you to capsize in the ditch." Chen Chengxing said.

At the same time, Chen Chengxing also decided that he would have to strike him down whenever he had the chance, to prevent this kid from becoming arrogant.

Now is the age of hot weapons. Bullets are faster than the speed of sound. Once you are attacked by surprise, you will be dead before you even hear the sound.

"Yes!" Seeing Chen Chengxing's ugly face, Wei Dayong could only agree reluctantly.

After Wei Dayong quietly moved forward, Chen Chengxing did not relax, but ordered the machine gunner next to him to be ready and provide immediate fire cover if there was any accident.

However, Chen Chengxing was obviously thinking too much. Wei Dayong's action was very smooth. After he approached from the side, he just used two knives and the two sentries fell asleep. They slept very soundly. Even when someone stepped on their hands from behind, they did not react.

"Go!" Chen Chengxing waved his hand, signaling the troops to move forward immediately.

Although the Zhangjiahui Ancestral Hall is located in the center of the town, it is backed by a low slope.

If Chen Chengxing wanted to lead his men into the ancestral hall, he had to go through the front, there was no other way.

Killing the sentry would only allow the troops to get closer to the gate. After all, it was such a large area, it was impossible for Liang Zhenxing to send only two people to stand guard.

There must be quite a few people in the courtyard inside the gate, especially the Maxim installed on the roof of the ancestral hall by Liang Zhenxing. There must be someone on duty.

This is Chen Chengxing's biggest obstacle this time.

For this purpose, Chen Chengxing specially transferred another Czech light machine gun from the 1st Company. When the two Czech light machine guns formed cross fire, they could counter the Maxim in a short time.

As long as they can gain 1 minute, it will be enough for the infantry to rush into the ancestral hall. Once they enter the room, this Maxim rifle will be just a decoration.

In order to ensure a quick action, Chen Chengxing had his men push the several explosive packs they brought against the wall with wooden sticks.

The more holes that were blown up, the faster the 3rd Company would move. If they all went through the main gate, half of the rd Company would be knocked down by a long sweep from Maxim.

After making preparations, Chen Chengxing waved his hand vigorously, and the soldier in charge of blasting the wall pulled the fuse, and then quickly ran to a safe place.

Several explosions in succession woke up the entire Zhang Family Association.

However, no one went out to check. For ordinary people, it is better not to run around when the situation is unclear. This is their experience in troubled times.

"What's going on?! Where did the explosion happen?!"

The moment he heard the explosion, Liang Zhenxing jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room in just one piece of clothing, regardless of the cold.

Liang Zhenxing knew from the sound alone that the explosion was very, very close to him.

However, before anyone could answer, Liang Zhenxing heard shouting and fierce gunfire coming from outside.

"Da da da da da". "Da da da da da".
"Thump, thump, thump." "Thump, thump, thump."
"Kill!"

"kill!"

Liang Zhenxing heard the Maxim on the roof only sound a few times before stopping, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

It is impossible for Maxim to stop on its own for no reason. You have to know that this treasure is maintained every day, and the entire security team depends on it to maintain order.

The only thing that could have caused Maxim to stop firing was the enemy's fire suppression.

With this level of professionalism, there is no way they can be bandits.

The next moment Liang Zhenxing realized who was outside.

The Eighth Route Army! It must be the Eighth Route Army!

Apart from their own security corps, the only other army in this area is the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

And the point is, his father had just offended the New Second Regiment two days ago.

"Quick! Everyone, support the front gate immediately! Block the enemy's attack. As long as we can hold it off for a few minutes, the heavy machine guns will be able to suppress the enemy's offensive!"

"Then three battalions will be able to support us!"

"Quick! Quick!"

Liang Zhenxing stood there and kept shouting, ordering the guard platoon and other personnel of the regiment to provide immediate support, but he himself did not take any action.

I spend money to support these people on a daily basis, isn’t it just for this moment? If I still need to lead the charge, then what are these people for?
However, Liang Zhenxing obviously overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Security Corps and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

Before their support arrived, the soldiers of the 3rd Company rushed into the front hall, and Liang Zhenxing completely lost his ability to resist.

The other three battalions that Liang Zhenxing gave hope to were even worse than the security regiment headquarters.

When the explosion occurred, the soldiers had no idea that the Zhang family was under attack.

Still looking out, wanting to see what's going on.

By the time they reacted, the companies responsible for the attack were already in front of them.

Faced with the black muzzle of the gun, these people wisely raised their hands.

Of course, there were also some people who did not believe in evil. The soldiers naturally had nothing to say to these people and sent them to see the King of Hell on the spot.

Seeing how ruthless these Eighth Route Army soldiers were, the rest cooperated even more. Each of them was extremely honest and didn't dare to make any small moves.

The entire battle, from the sound of the explosion to the control of the entire security team, took less than 10 minutes.
