At the independent division headquarters, Chu Xiong was habitually staring at the map. There was a plate of peanuts on the table. When he reached out to the peanuts again, he fumbled for a while and found none;
"Damn, these peanuts are not as durable as soybeans. If you put them in an enamel jar, you can look at the map all day without having to eat."
The chief of staff hurried over, holding a piece of telegram in his hand. His steps were cheerful and his voice arrived before the person arrived:
"Lao Chu, news came from Zhou Weiguo that Japanese reinforcements were dispatched. An infantry regiment, a tank regiment, a mountain artillery regiment, more than 20 iron bastards, and at least 5,000 people were heading towards the first brigade's blockade along the road. The enemy is coming with great force."
When Chu Xiong heard this, he said excitedly:
"Okay, finally the food is here. I've run out of peanuts, so I'm just waiting for this big plate of meat from the Eighteenth Japanese Division!"
Zhong Guoliang asked curiously:
"Old Chu, this trick of ours is not new. The Japs in the First Army in Hedong have suffered a lot. Why are you so sure that the Japs will take the bait?"
Chu Xiong said in a very disgusting manner:
"The Eighteenth Division still doesn't know how powerful our independent division is. The entire Southern Front Army has never suffered a loss since it went south. It spans thousands of miles and has never suffered a decent loss;
The Eighteenth Division, the pioneer, wiped out not one hundred thousand but eighty thousand Western troops along the way, and not even a single squadron was lost.
This time we disabled half of their brigade and withstood the other two of their brigade. It would be strange for the arrogant Japanese to be able to hold back!
Generate electricity for the first brigade, wait until the Japanese tanks break up as soon as they charge, and run towards the big mountains on both sides. If the tanks cannot go up the mountain, let the Japanese go over and let the artillery regiment deal with them. I will set off fireworks for the Japanese this time.
Completely beat up the Eighteenth Division and give old man Stevie a big gift when he comes! "
"Old Chu, why do you need to give that stubborn old man such a big gift? In my opinion, none of these ghosts are good people."
As a veteran, Zhong Guoliang did not have a good impression of Westerners. The memory they brought to the Chinese people was too painful, and he still has not changed his mind.
"Old Zhong, because he is the captain of my transport brigade, as long as he nods, not to mention tanks and artillery, planes can send us a bunch of them;
For the sake of weapons and equipment, you will like him in the future! "
After hearing this, Zhong Guoliang said excitedly:
"If that's the case, then I'll avoid the difficulty of liking him."
"Look, without the old man, I wouldn't even have peanuts to eat!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he pointed at the CD. The meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll get it for you. Save it! You'll get angry if you eat too much."
Zhong Guoliang couldn't figure out when Lao Chu fell in love with eating peanuts while looking at maps. He would have a plate of peanuts every morning. Landlords couldn't do this, not to mention that he worked as a long-term laborer when he was a child.
(Chu Xiong: Which parent has the second lady stealing roast chicken for him to eat every day?)
The first brigade blocked the position, and the Japanese of the 56th Wing launched another attack. This was already the third time, and yellow shit was left on the ground.
The Kurume Regiment has always been an underestimated existence in the Japs system. When it comes to powerful Japs, the first thing that comes to mind is the Fifth Division known as the Steel Army, the Sixth Division known as the Beast Army, and the Sendai Division. , Kyoto Division, these divisions are famous in China;
The 18th Division has almost no reputation, but the 18th Division, like the 9th Division, is a dark horse;
He fought almost the entire southern battlefield, and went abroad to fight for the first time in another time and space. The expeditionary force was almost defeated by the 18th Division, which was very brutal.
In this attack, the Japanese from the Matsui Regiment invested nearly two squadrons. They were skilled in tactics, precise in their marksmanship, powerful in coordination, with a proper combination of light and heavy firepower, and their attacks were very sharp.
Just because they encountered the more elite First Brigade of the Independent Division, they were all old troops that Chu Xiong had trained for several years. From Liuzhen to Yuci, they fought countless fierce battles, and each victory gave this unit the spirit of a strong army. ;
Therefore, although they only sent one battalion, the Kurume unit was unable to move forward. If it were not for fishing, they would have launched a counterattack against the enemy on the opposite side.
Battalion Commander Song Haitao was the main company commander of the original Second Preliminary Regiment. He commanded the First Battalion to respond calmly and defeated two Japanese brigade-scale attacks, killing more than 300 Japanese. The First Battalion suffered less than 100 casualties, many of which were wounded.
Song Haitao didn't say much, and he didn't mobilize too much. He aimed at the Japanese who were charging up and shot him, directly knocking down a squad leader with a saber.
The sound of his gunshots was an order. Hundreds of light and heavy weapons from a battalion opened fire at the Japanese soldiers almost simultaneously. Their marksmanship was equally accurate, and their shots hit the flesh.
Especially those snipers, grenadiers and commanders who specialize in fighting Japanese enemies;
After several hours of fighting, almost half of the junior officers of the Matsui Regiment were lost, and the beating was so painful that old Japanese soldier Matsui began to feel physical pain.
Another large wave of Japs fell, and the remaining Japs found bunkers on the spot and fired at the First Battalion. The First Battalion also began to suffer many casualties.
"Buzz buzz..."
The unique buzz of bombers came from the distance. Since the Japanese infantry was still attacking, the entire battalion could not hide.
"Third Company, Second Company, all hide in the anti-gun holes, First Company continues to fight!"
Song Haitao quickly made adjustments. After the air defense whistle sounded, the third company and the second company hid in the anti-aircraft hole nearby...
More than a dozen bombers flew over the first battalion's position, swooped down, and then dropped circles of bombs hundreds of meters in the air, setting the entire position on fire.
The Japanese bombed and strafed back and forth in the air, and the infantry took the opportunity to launch an attack below, almost stepping on the enemy's barrage and rushing forward. They used air-ground coordinated tactics with great proficiency;
As soon as the Japanese bombing ended, the Japanese infantry rushed to the first battalion's position. Because the distance was too close, the two sides soon entered a brutal hand-to-hand battle.
Sharp copper whistles came one after another, and the uninjured soldiers of the second and third companies also came out of the shell-proof holes that had not been blown down one after another, and rushed into the group of Japanese with their guns drawn...
A few kilometers away, Colonel Matsui was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation. The brutal battle made him sigh even though he had seen the world. The Chinese people in front of him were stubborn.
"Yo Xi, the imperial army finally rushed into the Chinese position. Even with bayonets, three Chinese people couldn't defeat one warrior——"
Suddenly he realized something was wrong. The imperial warriors, who were invincible in their assassination skills, did not gain the upper hand. Moreover, they were quickly defeated due to their inferior personnel;
One by one, the shit-yellow figures were stabbed with bayonets...
As he was preparing to withdraw his troops, a string of artillery shells passed over them and hit the 1st Battalion's position.
First Battalion Commander Song Haitao couldn't help but cursed:
"The bloody devils will blow up even their own people!"
Mountain artillery shells exploded in the crowd, and each shell brought a group of people, including Japanese and Eight Route Army soldiers;
"Battal Commander, Japanese Tank!"
More than a dozen Iron Kings also rumbled over, and the Japanese reinforcements arrived.
He Zhenhua, commander of the first brigade, issued the order to retreat. The exposed regiment began to rout after receiving the order.
"Run quickly, the Japanese tanks are coming, I can't hold them back!"
A group of nearly 3,000 people fled to the mountains on both sides, running all over the mountains and plains. Matsui's blood boiled as he watched.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Kurume United launched a general attack
