Qixia Town.
Second Lieutenant Taro Iwaki, following the military orders of the squadron leader, Captain Sakai Hiroki, led his team of more than fifty people to the northern town entrance for support.
On the way, they ran into a company of Locust Alliance troops. Under the leadership of company commander Wan Xicai, they ran out of their barracks very excitedly.
After meeting Taro Iwaki, Wan Xicai immediately felt as if she were meeting her biological father. She came closer to him and asked:
"Taijun, is there a call from the Eighth Route Army?
This bunch of Tubal people dare to offend the majesty of the princes. They are really asking for death! "
The third battalion and first company of the 8th Independent Regiment of the Locust Association led by Wan Xicai had previously been stationed in Xipan Town with Taro Iwaki's team, so he was very familiar with Taro Iwaki. Now that he saw each other, he naturally felt more cordial.
When he met Wan Xicai, Taro Iwaki forced himself to smile a little. When he was in Xipan Town, this loser was very useful.
He didn't hide anything from him and answered casually:
"Wan Sang, it is true that Tubal Road is attacking the town. The squadron leader ordered my team to go for reinforcements. Why don't you go with me?
If you have made great achievements, I will definitely say a few nice words for you in front of the squadron commander. When the time comes, it will be easy for you to be promoted to battalion commander! "
Hearing that there was an opportunity to serve the Taijun, Wan Xicai suddenly became very excited and nodded quickly:
"Okay, okay, no problem, all my soldiers are happy to serve Taijun!"
This guy is a hardcore traitor who only wants to get promoted and get rich.
That's why when he heard the sound of artillery outside in the barracks, he immediately gathered his soldiers, deceived them about the opportunity to make a fortune, and then ran out of the barracks.
The purpose, of course, is to show off in front of the little devil so that he can be appreciated.
Now that I got what I wanted, I wish I could kneel down and lick Taro Iwajo's stinky feet right away.
He waved his hand quickly:
"Brothers, Grandpa Taijun asked us to go to the entrance of the town for reinforcements. You guys should cheer up and run and march. Let Grandpa Taijun see the combat effectiveness of our Locust Alliance Army!"
Hearing this guy's shameless words, many people in his company immediately curled their lips in disdain.
Cursing secretly: This bitch doesn't like to be a human being and prefers to be a dog. What a bitch!
But there are also a large number of people who eagerly agreed:
"Yes, company commander!"
…
Seeing that these guys were still as obedient as ever, Iwaki Taro was very satisfied, patted Wan Xicai on the shoulder and said:
"Wan Sang, Qin Di, you are indeed a good friend of my Locust Army!
I, Taro Iwajo, will always remember your friendship! "
When Wan Xicai heard this, he suddenly felt that his bones were two ounces lighter.
He secretly decided that when he arrived at the entrance of the town, he would give Tubalu, who came to attack, a profound lesson.
He didn't believe at all that Tubal Road could capture the well-defended Qixia Town!
He believes that the current attack on Tubal Road is just to give him great joy and give him credit.
…
More than fifty little Japs, together with a hundred Japanese Japs, hurried from the town to the north entrance of the town.
Lieutenant Maeda Akihiko, the team leader who was originally responsible for the defense of the north entrance of the town, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the reinforcements had finally arrived.
Immediately command them to climb the wall at the entrance of the town and fire guns at the Eighth Route Army attacking outside.
Wan Xicai, the commander of the Erjiazi Company, originally thought that the attacking Tubal Road was just local guerrillas or a small main force and could be easily repulsed.
——Even the sound of those cannons was just made by the guerrillas’ homemade cannons.
That's why he rushed out so actively to hang out with Taro Iwaki.
But now, when he saw the figures of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in neat gray military uniforms digging trenches, and saw the tongues of fire spitting out from the three heavy machine guns opposite, he was suddenly a little confused.
Is this still a three-gun tubal road?
In particular, just at this time, an infantry cannon from the first company of the secret service battalion suddenly opened fire. A shell landed at the firing port of the bunker at the entrance of the town. There was a sudden "boom" and the heavy machine gun in the bunker that was originally loud was blown into pieces. After losing the parts, several little devils' screams resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Ah!~"
This is the desperate cry of someone who was seriously injured but not dead!
Seeing this situation, Wan Xi was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Suddenly I cried in my heart: How the hell is this different from what I imagined!
Ba Ye actually has a cannon!
You're not going to die today, are you?
Sure enough, it was "hunting geese all day long, but the geese pecked their eyes"!
But at this moment, he had no way to retreat immediately. He could only yell and ask his men to block the front while he quietly slipped back.
Although performing in front of Taijun is very important, saving the dog's life is more important!
The reason why he is able to survive till today is because of his quick mind!
…
Outside the town, on the company's position, Han Yang, Zhao Shihong and others also used their binoculars to see the little Japanese coming for reinforcements.
Han Yang couldn't help but said with satisfaction:
"Okay, the first wave of reinforcements from the Japs have finally arrived. Now as long as we defeat this group, the Japs should ask for help from Qubei County and Jinyang City, right?"
Zhao Shihong also nodded:
"There is only one squadron of little devils in Qixia Town, and now it seems that there should be two squadrons here.
In addition, they also have to defend the south side of the town to prevent us from attacking in the east. They probably don't have much mobility left. Defeating these two teams will be enough for them to desperately call for help. "
"Order the artillery to aim at the wall and fire three rapid rounds!"
Han Yang ordered decisively.
Following this order, the two Type 92 infantry cannons immediately began to adjust and bombard Zhuyuan.
Unlike the previous bombardment of Heyuan County at night, where we could only rely on weak light for observation and blind artillery bombardment, now it was broad daylight and the field of vision was very good.
The artillery observers observed with telescopes, then selected the locations where the Japs were most densely populated, and reported the distance and direction. The artillery crews carefully calculated the bombardment points before making adjustments.
Soon, the two cannons each fired three rounds, and six shells hit the wall at the entrance of the town.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Six cannons rang out. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the town, the Yancheng team that ran up the city wall to set up defenses was blown to pieces. Seventeen or eighteen people were killed in one blow. There were also many seriously injured people on the ground wailing in Fuso dialect:
"Ah! It hurts! Help me!"
"My leg! My leg is broken, medic, help!"
"Mom, I'm dying, I want to go home..."
…
In addition to the little Japs, seven or eight Japs from Wan Xicai's company were also killed. The remaining ones immediately fled back like frightened birds, which highlighted Wan Xicai, who was so frightened that he quickly cried out:
“Asshole, come back here!
Taijun will kill your whole family if you run away again! "
But at this time, the little devil was in no mood to pay attention to them.
When Taro Iwaki saw that his team was reimbursed for one-third of their expenses in just one encounter, his heart began to bleed, and he immediately shouted to Lieutenant Maeda Akihiko:
"Maeda-kun, the artillery shells on Tubal Road are so abundant and the artillery skills are so superb. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on. We'd better ask for help from the squadron leader as soon as possible!"
Maeda Akihiko originally thought that Tubal Road had insufficient artillery shells, which was why the attack just progressed so slowly, but the six shells just now gave him a blow.
Bombing infantry with artillery shells is such a luxury!
Cannonballs are very expensive!
At this moment, after hearing Taro Iwaki's words, he suddenly felt panicked and quickly said to him:
"Xinxi, Mr. Iwaki, your point of view is very sharp.
Now I order you to be responsible for holding on to this place for me. I will personally report the situation to the squadron leader and request tactical guidance! "
Then, without waiting for Taro Iwaki to object, he shouted:
"Gentlemen, the glory of the Locust Army needs you to defend it. Now I appoint Lieutenant Yancheng as the temporary commander to be responsible for defense. You must obey Lieutenant Yancheng's order!"
As the captain of the lieutenant team, Maeda Akihiko's words certainly made the little Japanese soldiers feel a little confused, but they still had to listen.
They quickly agreed in unison:
"Hi!"
Then Maeda Akihiko patted Iwajo Taro on the shoulder and said:
"Iwaki-kun, this place is entrusted to you!"
After saying that, he ran towards the town.
…
Maeda Akihiko's operation was clean and neat, without any sloppiness. Taro Iwaki didn't react at all and became the supreme commander on the battlefield at this moment.
He couldn't help but said in stunned silence:
"Nani?
I just suggested that Maeda-kun ask the squadron leader for help. Why is it that I am responsible for the defense here?
this……"
However, no one answered his questions. There were only constant gunshots and occasional cannon fire.
Of course, what’s more is the shrill wails of the little devils and the second devils!
