Seeing the morning glow filling the sky and the rising sun, the heat is about to descend on this land again.
Chu Yunfei boosted the morale of the soldiers on the ground: "Brothers, reinforcements are already on the way. No matter what, we cannot let the Japanese break through our position!"
"I swear to live and die with the position!"
"Every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood!"
"Unless you give the order to retreat, we will all die here!"
…
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 358th Regiment shouted loudly.
"They are all good. They are worthy of being led by me, Chu Yunfei!" Chu Yunfei waved his hand, "Put the can down."
The 358th Regiment had cans, but not many.
This was all saved by Chu Yunfei.
Now, we have to fight a fierce battle, and we can no longer save this can.
The canned food was distributed quickly, and the soldiers of the 358th Regiment ate the canned food, and their morale became stronger. Of course, a tragic atmosphere also filled the air.
Chinese people are very particular about one word, that is, meal without head.
These cans may be the 358 regiment's decapitated meal.
After eating the meal, it’s time to hit the road.
…
Chu Yunfei was having breakfast here, and the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade opposite were also having breakfast.
Oshima was chewing on a leg of lamb, his mouth full of grease: "We must break through the 358th Regiment's defensive position before noon."
"Hai!" The Japanese officers in front of Da Dao nodded heavily, took the mutton out of the pot, put it to their mouths and gnawed it hard.
The Japanese soldiers below also eat meat.
As for the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army, the food was quite different. There was no oil, only white flour.
But it is also very luxurious to have a full meal of white flour.
"fire!"
After breakfast, Oshima gave orders to the artillery.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the artillery of Oshima Brigade roared together.
The artillery shells fell towards the joint position of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 358th Regiment. Under the morning glow, there were craters blown up by the artillery shells and filled with gunpowder smoke.
Under the smoke, those were the eyes of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment as if they were dead.
Chu Yunfei stayed at the command post and used his binoculars to see the bombed battlefield. He ordered: "The artillery camp is ready. Once the Japanese traitors charge, fire my artillery immediately and blow up these sons of bitches!"
"Regiment leader, our artillery battalion is ready." The officer of the artillery battalion said in a voice like steel.
"Kill Gadi!" Taking advantage of the artillery shells covering the 358th Regiment's position, Oshima waved his command knife and immediately pressed all the troops forward for a group charge.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
"Long live!"
…
The Japanese soldiers from the Japanese brigade and the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army rushed toward the 358th regiment's position, screaming.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment began to roar, and the shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese traitors.
There are also landmines that are being stepped on, and they are also releasing their power.
But it could not completely contain the charge of the Japanese and traitors.
Especially the Japanese soldiers, they were brainwashed by Bushido and regarded death as their highest destiny.
Braving the fierce shelling, they rushed to the vicinity of the 358th Regiment's position.
The machine gun behind them provided fierce cover fire. The sniper quickly shot the machine gunner on the 358th Regiment's position. The front-line soldiers took out the melon grenade, pulled out the ring, knocked it hard on the helmet, and then threw it to the 358th Regiment's position. superior.
The soldiers of the 358th Regiment also threw the grenade with the fuse towards the charging enemy.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The grenades thrown by both sides exploded intensively on the position, with smoke billowing and blood and flesh flying!
"Ah, my leg, my leg is broken!"
"Save me, save me, medic!"
"I can't see, I can't see!"
…
The wounded soldiers howled miserably in the air filled with the smell of blood, but in an instant, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the position and strangled the soldiers of the 358th Regiment.
Neither side cares about the wounded soldiers on both sides. Both sides have only one idea, and that is to kill the other side!
The bright bayonets of the Japanese soldiers turned red quickly in the sun. The warriors of the 358th Regiment defended the land under their feet to the death. Every inch of the land was soaked in red blood!
Oshima waved his command sword and rushed to the position.
He chopped down several soldiers of the 358th Regiment in succession and roared at the Imperial Army behind him: "Hurry up and tear open the 358th Regiment's defense line!"
Although the resistance of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment was extremely heroic, the combat effectiveness of the brave Japanese soldiers was indeed not a vegetarian. The Japanese soldiers quickly tore apart the defense line of the 358th Regiment, but they still needed the cooperation of the Imperial Army to help open the defense line. The tear was more serious.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Seeing the extraordinary fighting power of the Oshima Brigade, the morale of the Imperial Army soldiers was greatly boosted, and they rushed to kill each other. The hole in the 358th Regiment's position was quickly torn apart.
"Hold it, hold it, hold it!" Chu Yunfei looked at this scene from the command post and was so anxious that he wanted to send his guard platoon up immediately.
"Regiment leader, the security platoon has been sent up, and there is no one around you." Fang Ligong was anxious.
"Stop talking nonsense and come up with me!" Chu Yunfei roared angrily, grabbed a handful of flower traps himself, and immediately rushed over with the guard platoon.
"Quick, quick, you follow immediately and protect the group." Fang Ligong immediately ordered a few people around him to fight with Chu Yunfei.
Fang Ligong, on the other hand, took the time to burn some important documents. These things could not fall into the hands of the Japanese.
"Brothers, the leader is here, fuck that little devil!"
Chu Yunfei appeared, and the officers of the 358th Regiment roared to boost morale.
"Brothers, beat me hard and beat back the little Japs!" Chu Yunfei fired all the shuttles, knocked down several Japs, and boosted the morale of the troops.
"The worst that can happen is that I will die and fight with the little devil!"
"The group is right next to us, no one is allowed to let the Japanese go!"
"Kill the little devil!"
…
Because Chu Yunfei took the lead and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, the morale of the 358th Regiment was greatly boosted and it managed to stabilize its position.
The hole torn by the Oshima Brigade is no longer being widened, but is being repaired.
Seeing this, Oshima roared even more crazily: "Kill Gadi, kill Gadi, kill me, we must completely break through the 358th Regiment's defense line before noon, kill Gadi!"
The offensive of the Oshima Brigade and the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army became more fierce.
Many people were injured, but they still held back the severe pain and pulled the bolts of their guns to fight.
This fight has turned into a tug-of-war between the enemy and ourselves.
Both sides are holding back their strength, and it depends on who can hold on until the last breath.
…
"Lao Kong, it's almost done. We should overwhelm the troops now."
Behind the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Da Dao Brigade, Ding Wei and Kong Jie both used telescopes to observe from a distance, and saw that the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and Chu Yunfei's troops were completely strangled together. , Ding Wei said to Kong Jie, "While Chu Yunfei's vitality is still there, let's go there now. If Chu Yunfei's vitality is severely damaged, it may be a bit late for us to kill him again."
"Let's fight." Kong Jie observed the battlefield again and found that in the tug-of-war on the battlefield, the 358th Regiment was still slowly at a disadvantage.
After all, the combat prowess of these flesh-eating Japanese soldiers is no joke.
If he doesn't push his troops forward now, Chu Yunfei will definitely lose.
While Chu Yunfei's energy is still there, now is the best time to attack from both sides.
"Comrades, come on!"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie led their troops and immediately stopped hiding and launched a surprise attack behind the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Artillery provided support, and the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade faced bombing behind them. The artillery shells caused heavy casualties to the Japanese traitors behind.
at the same time!
The heavy machine guns also provided ferocious firepower, and dense bullets formed a crossfire, pouring towards the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade.
The powerful firepower once again increased the casualties of the Royal Association Army's 13th Mixed Brigade and Oshima Brigade.
Originally, they were in a tug-of-war with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, and they were almost evenly matched.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie were suddenly shot behind him, and the balance of this tug-of-war was quickly broken.
The 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade were quickly at a disadvantage.
"Baga, why is there Tubal Road behind us!" Odao cursed in shock, "Could it be that the 28th Regiment is supporting the 358th Regiment?"
"Taijun, it doesn't look like the Tubal Road of the 28th Regiment. The Tubal Road of the 28th Regiment does not have such ferocious firepower." A commander of the Imperial Association Army said to Oshima, "Our army is now surrounded by enemies from both sides and it is not appropriate to fight anymore. Let’s withdraw first.”
"Baga, retreat, retreat!" Odao was also very decisive. He was attacked from both sides and his own advantage was no longer there. If he continued to fight, he would be out of his mind.
As a result, the Oshima Brigade and the two regiments of the Royal Association Army quickly broke away from the battle.
Seeing the sudden appearance of reinforcements, the crisis of the 358th Regiment was quickly resolved. Chu Yunfei looked at the reinforcements that appeared on the battlefield with suspicion on his face: "It looks like this is the Eighth Route Army, but Ding Wei's 28th Regiment has more firepower." Is it so ferocious? This artillery is even comparable to my artillery battalion."
Chu Yunfei thought that Ding Wei from the 28th Regiment led his troops to support the 358th Regiment, but the Eighth Route Resolute Regiment of the 28th Regiment could not have such powerful firepower.
"The regiment, the other party has a lot of people, more than 3,000 people." Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion, was also suspicious, "Even if Ding Wei from the 28th regiment comes to support us, he can't possibly bring the entire regiment together." Pull it out, doesn't his regiment have enough troops left?"
"Don't worry about it for now. Since the reinforcements have arrived, let's seize the time and beat up the drowned dog!" Chu Yunfei could see it. After the reinforcements defeated the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, there was no sign of retreating. It looks like he will continue to pursue the enemy.
Chu Yunfei almost fell into the hands of the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army today, how could he swallow this sigh of relief.
"Yes, Danzao!"
In this way, the soldiers and horses of the 358th Regiment immediately followed the Eighth Route Army and hunted down the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade.
During the chase, Chu Yunfei also saw Ding Wei. He thanked Ding Wei: "Captain Ding, thank you for your help. Otherwise, our 358th regiment would have been humiliated today."
"Captain Chu, you're welcome. We are friendly forces and we should help each other." Ding Wei replied.
"Captain Ding, I'm a little confused. Didn't you send out all the 28th regiment?" Chu Yunfei asked, "Also, when did the firepower of your 28th regiment become so fierce?"
"The 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army first attacked me, then withdrew, and came to attack you again. I judged that he must want to support Ping'an County, and you, Commander Chu, may not be able to withstand it, so I followed him in time. The superiors applied for assistance," Ding Wei said.
Although, I was very dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's behavior of eating alone.
But no matter what, Li Yunlong is considered a member of Ding Wei's family.
And Chu Yunfei was from the national army.
Now, Chu Yunfei should not be allowed to know that it was Li Yunlong who was here.
Otherwise, once Chu Yunfei guessed that Li Yunlong was coming and that Li Yunlong was going to eat alone in Ping'an County, something would definitely happen.
"So that's it." When Chu Yunfei heard this, most of his doubts were lifted, but he still had doubts: "Captain Ding, your division probably doesn't have so many artillery pieces. Where did this artillery come from?"
"Commander Chu, this is our military secret. I'm sorry that I can't tell you." Ding Wei said.
"It was Chu who was abrupt, I'm sorry." Chu Yunfei said no more after hearing this.
At present, it is better to seize the time and beat the drowned dog.
As for Kong Jie beside Ding Wei, he never spoke.
Obviously, Kong Jie also knew that he could not let Chu Yunfei know that it was the troops of the 386th Brigade who had pulled over.
The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. The originally high-spirited 13th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army and Oshima Brigade were defeated in an instant and were chased by thousands of enemies. Oshima couldn't hold it back. He immediately yelled at the radio soldiers. : "Send power to Ping'an County immediately, tell them our current situation, and ask them to send troops to rescue us quickly!"
"Captain, sending a report takes time and requires a stable environment." The radio soldier replied, "You cannot send a report while running."
"I'll give you time, I'll give you the environment." Da Dao quickly organized his troops and selected a favorable terrain to create conditions and opportunities for the radio soldiers to send messages.
…
Pingan County
After learning that Da Dao had brought a team to rescue Ping'an County, the Japanese and traitors in Ping'an County were full of hope.
The top Japanese officer in Ping'an County was called Kawamoto Ichi. Although he knew that Oshima would not soon reach Ping'an County, he sat on the city gate and looked into the distance every day, full of hope.
Hopefully, this will be the last spiritual pillar for Kawamoto.
In the past, due to the Battle of Wanger Mountain, Kawamoto sent troops to support, but as a result, all the troops sent never returned.
Then the reinforcements from the neighboring county also withdrew, and Ping'an County became the target of the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Kawamoto Ichido did not have enough troops to fight out, so he could only choose to hold on in Ping'an County.
This insistence has become a failure.
Seeing that the food supply in the county town was getting less and less, Kawamoto Yiyi used the radio many times to ask for help.
Finally, the logistics department of Station 23 organized a team to deliver food.
As a result, they were defeated in the defense zone of the 28th Regiment, and Kawamoto's hopes were stifled.
There are only ten days of food left in Ping'an County.
Kawamoto and others planned to commit seppuku to express gratitude to the emperor. At this time, good news came again. Oshima came with people to help.
This is Kawamoto Ichi's last hope, and there must be no more mistakes.
On this day, Kawamoto was looking into the distance when his adjutant came over in a hurry: "Kawamoto-kun, the situation is not good."
Hearing the words "the situation is not good", Kawamoto Ichi's heart immediately tightened. Could it be that something went wrong with Oshima-kun's aid operation?
This time, Oshima's strength cannot be underestimated. It cannot be compared to the logistics team of the past.
There is a mixed brigade and a full imperial army brigade.
With such a lineup, one or two Chinese brigades can be defeated on the frontal battlefield.
It is not difficult to deal with the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
Under such circumstances, what could be wrong?
"Take a look." The adjutant handed the telegram he just received to Kawamoto Ichichi.
When Kawamoto took the telegram and read it, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and his mind went blank.
The telegram was Oshima's request for help. In the telegram, Oshima said that he was jointly strangled by the 28th Regiment and the 358th Regiment. He was attacked from both sides, he was defeated, and he was defeated.
Now Da Dao is facing the enemy's pursuit, and the reinforcements from Ping'an County are the troops closest to Da Dao.
"Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Kawamoto yelled, "How could a team of more than 6,000 people fail? Even if there was a pig in command, he would not fight the battle like this."
"Kawamoto-kun, Oshima-kun are our only hope. If we don't send troops, I'm afraid we will end up eating all the remaining food..." The adjutant said in a very bad tone.
Hopefully, the reinforcements from the neighboring county once gave peace to the county once, but that time is gone.
The second time was given by the Logistics Department of Station 23, but the second time was gone.
Now is the third and final hope.
But this last hope will soon be gone.
Anyone else would probably not be able to accept it easily.
"The problem is, if we could have fought out, we would have fought out long ago. Why are we being besieged until today!" Kawamoto said sadly.
"Kawamoto-kun, although we don't have many troops in front of us, the situation is completely different from before." The adjutant reminded, "Before, we were surrounded by all the troops of the 28th Regiment and the 358th Regiment. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. , so we can’t fight out. And now, most of the troops of the 28th Regiment and the 358th Regiment are chasing Oshima-kun, our chance of fighting out is..."
Before the adjutant finished speaking, Kawamoto suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, you are right, I forgot such an important situation. You should organize the troops in the county immediately, and we will fight out immediately. Even if we cannot save Odao Jun, at least we can get out of trouble."
"What to do with the arms and supplies in our city? We can't take them all away. Should we destroy them..." the adjutant asked.
The current situation in Ping'an County is that there is very little food surplus and insufficient military strength, but there is no shortage of other things.
The largest number of them is arms, which can equip most of the brigade.
"Baga!" Kawamoto cursed, "Don't you know that the empire's resources are very scarce!"
"Yes, yes, but we can't take them all away," the adjutant said.
"Hide." Kawamoto said, "Also, leave some manpower in the county. We will definitely have to come back later."
"Hai."
