After receiving the call from Brigade Commander Ding, Regiment Commander Miao moved the headquarters to the southeast, ordered the subordinate teams to be stationed in various places, and hurriedly spread the telephone lines of the devils to the front line. The telephones of the battalions in the east were connected, and the commander of the 7th battalion, Mao Suiyuan, came from the phone first, and he said: "Report to the commander of the Miao regiment, the devils have a logging team, and they are stepping up to cut down trees, but their heavy weapons cannot be transported for a while. We dug improvised fortifications about five miles to the east and waited for ......" Commander Miao said: "Okay, you must remember very much that it is a sluggish devil, not a block, so don't be bitten by them." As soon as the whole brigade forms an encirclement, launch an attack......"

The devil's wired phone is a good one, and Brigade Commander Ding called again, and he said: "Your casualties are a little large, and the soldiers cannot be replenished, and before the war starts, the lightly wounded should be sent to Lijiadian for treatment." In addition, I order your headquarters to move 200 meters to the northwest so that it can take into account the western battlefield after the start of the war. Also, how many bullets do you have left? You must be aware that the war is about to start, this battle is different from the morning, how to fight it, have you thought about it?"

Regiment Commander Miao answered the questions raised by Brigade Commander Ding one by one, and he thought to himself that the brigade seat was not very relieved that he had been brought up from the regiment deputy. He understands and thanks the chief for being thoughtful. After thinking about this, he said again: "Brigade seat, I guess you also heard that there was a group of bandits from the mountains participating in the whole morning's battle. Their big boss is called Li Minglong, and he has a bit of a national character. If they hadn't been participating in the war, it would be impossible for our 233rd Regiment to have these people left, and without them participating in the war, this brigade of devils would not have been destroyed......"

He put down the phone, and the gunfire in the east was already urgent. Because of the sound of the woods, it doesn't spread too far. But if you crouch down, the closer your head is to the ground, the clearer you can hear the sound. It's still the loud sound of the 38 big cover, and the sound is continuous. He and Chief of Staff Zhang calculated that the westernmost point where the devils were advancing, that is, between three and two miles away, planned to repair a blockade line there. Just as he was hesitating, he reported that the 6th Battalion had rushed back. Li Gui came panting, and he said sadly: "Commander Miao, I'm sorry for you, the deputy of the horse battalion was unfortunately killed, because the devils chased too closely, the body was not brought back, you punish me, I didn't take this battalion well......"

Commander Miao answered the phone again, and Deputy Xie Tuan said to Battalion Commander Li Gui: "At the moment of the great enemy, which battle will not kill people!" In all the departments of our 41st Army, the brigade commander and regiment commander are no longer killed, and I hope you will not be caught up in the shadow of the sacrifice of your comrades and blame yourself too deeply. The life of each of us is not tied to the tiger's pedal, and we are not sure; There is a grim reaper crashing into us all the time, the war has to be resisted, the devil has to be killed, and the flames are in the sky, is it such a difficult situation......"

The 7th and 8th battalions withdrew to the 200-meter to 300-meter defense line, and Commander Miao said to Li Gui: "You have to die in battle, let's not talk about these things first." Battalion Commander Li, you lead people to strengthen the defense of the defensive line......" Li Gui saluted and took the order.

The brigade headquarters called again, and it was Staff Officer Wang from the war room, who informed all the units participating in the war, the 9th Battalion of the 234th Regiment and most of the Independent Regiment, that they had made a detour and arrived at the southwest edge of the large forest in the south of the waterlogged country, and were advancing towards the front-line position and through the forest. The 13th and 12th battalions of the 235th Regiment and the 1st Special Service Regiment have advanced to Shuiquanliang and have advanced northward to the point where they can basically see devils; The 20th Battalion of the 236th Regiment and the 1st Independent Regiment were temporarily adjusted to the reserve and concealed in the area of Tangyingzi; The 18th and 19th battalions quietly interspersed from the woods south of Tangyingzi and north of Waterlogged Bubbles. It is planned to penetrate to the eastern edge of the big forest and make a final encirclement of the 17th Devil Wing......

At 11 o'clock, the battle officially began. Commander Miao threw three battalions at once to meet the devils in the front. The 7th Battalion was in the northern section of the improvised position, and the battalion commander Li Gui and the deputy of the Ma Shilling Battalion were respectively staring at two points, and they ordered all the officers and men to be ready to withdraw after firing a few shots, but to obey orders. If the devil puts in the main attack, the defenders will retreat after a delay, and make a disguise, so that the devil will withdraw when he thinks he can't hold it. If the devil sends a reconnaissance team to attack tentatively, then hit him harder...... In this way, only the 233rd Regiment and the devils stopped fighting, and there were casualties among each other.

The main force of the 17th Wing of the Devils obviously had heavy weapons, or rather heavy weapons at the back of the team, and it seemed that they were cutting down trees while marching west. This is obviously not the usual practice of the devils, slowly soaring, and the action is a little weird. This was discovered by all three battalion commanders. Battalion Commander Li Gui immediately called Commander Miao and told him that the Japanese army was also attracted by small forces, and the main force was a little slow.

On the one hand, Commander Miao reported the situation to Brigade Commander Ding, and on the other hand, he sent a capable scout to find out. It turned out that the devil was cutting down trees from Wujia and transporting cannons upwards. It seems to be and it doesn't seem to be, and the lethality of the cannon in the woods will be greatly reduced. The 235th Battalion of the 12th Regiment sent investigators to find out the new situation, and the devils transported the cannon up in camouflage, and behind the cannon there was a team of devils wearing white clothes and carrying iron cans.

Brigade Commander Ding immediately notified the various departments, and while the devil was slow, the departments immediately moved forward quickly, and hit him out of hand. He also informed all ministries that the devils had newly transferred biochemical troops, and first, they had to fight quickly, and second, when the devils used the biochemical troops, they had to look at the direction of the wind, and those who were in the upper hand must be decisively withdrawn......

The 12th and 13th battalions of the 235th Regiment and the 1st Special Service Regiment were ordered to break through the trees and pick up branches, and rushed down from the foot of Shuiquanliang Mountain, like a tiger descending the mountain. They found that when they hit the mountain, there were trees that were stronger than no trees, and they had both support and support. The sound of gunfire is like a trumpet, and as soon as the south side starts, it is fought everywhere. The main force of the 235th Regiment was encountering the Nakajima squadron, and although the defenders had poor firepower, the terrain was good, and the Nakajima squadron was killed and wounded, and they had to retreat if they could not withstand it. The 234th Battalion of the 9th Regiment and the 1st Independent Regiment attacked south from Shuibaozi and collided with the junction of the Ishii Squadron and the Xiangqing Sinan Squadron. The two squadrons of the devils immediately took a fan-shaped flanking attack on the 9th battalion, who knew that the Xiangqing Sinan squadron in the west acted too early, and was surrounded by the 1st battalion of the independent regiment behind the fart, and after a fierce beating, Xiangqing Sinan Shaozuo was cut off his head, and the remaining devils ran away.

Affected by this, Ishii's squadron was beaten by the 9th Battalion and fled to the southeast. The 233rd Regiment, the three battalions also showed no weakness, although they were tired, but they fought bravely, Tian Di's squadron threw down the corpses and ran back. Since there were branches at a higher level, I had to bend down and drill back, and finally the slower ones had to climb back. The officers and men of the 6 battalion laughed while chopping their butts in the back.

The devil originally had a cannon, but it was actually a mortar, although it was the same, and he also carried a few of them on his shoulder. Cutting down trees is to open the way for the biochemical troops, and transporting artillery is to make an introduction for the biochemical troops. Yamaoka Jie: This is one thing to do, the main force deliberately slowly soars, the movement does not move forward, waiting for the defenders to attack, if you really attack in front of you, use artillery bombardment. The last resort is to use poison gas.

What he didn't expect was that the defenders attacked too quickly. The logging team was not satisfied, but the wood had to be moved aside. In particular, in order to prevent the defenders from penetrating from the avenue to his flank, he ordered the northern stakes to be built into bunkers. As it turned out, it was the right one.

The defenders attacked the front, but the cannons and poison gas could not come up. Seeing that the soldiers in front of him couldn't resist the defeat, the bears Tanashita Nakasa and Kimura Ichiro Nakasa both pulled out their swords and went to press them. The devils all screamed as if they had been boosted, and with bayonets in their hands, they rushed out in all directions, fighting with the defenders who chased them. The devil is fighting according to the action of chopping and stabbing, and the defenders have not practiced the action, around the tree cannon, how can they cut the devil.

If you fight it like this, other soldiers can still do it, but the officers and soldiers of the 233rd Regiment cannot. They have been fighting for a day, and their stomachs are empty, and the devils are full, they are already better than the defenders, and their stomachs are oily and watery. In terms of strength, the defenders suffered. But in terms of stabbing action, they always pierced the bayonet into the tree, and the defenders saved some effort.

Commander Miao had already thought of this situation and quickly reacted to the brigade headquarters. Brigade Commander Ding immediately ordered the 20th Battalion of the 236th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment to lead the way by fellow villagers, wade through the waterlogged waters, find a place where the trees are sparse and people often walk, and quickly kill them. The remaining officers and men of the 6th Battalion, 7th and 8th Battalions, including the wounded of various units, gradually withdrew from their positions. After the reserve team entered the position, everyone had a big knife in their hands and lowered their bodies to chase and kill the devils.

Some devils protect their necks with their hands and have also learned to go around the tree cannon. There were also devils who were so frightened that they climbed up the tree and were beaten down again.

One devil died, and the defenders almost had to suffer one casualty. But from fighting the reserve to the position, there are more devils lying on the ground. Yamaoka turned the personnel of the headquarters into a bullet squad and went out to suppress the soldiers. There was a herald Kawagishi who was not paying attention and was almost cut off by the neck. He ran back to the headquarters with his neck clutched, and was slapped by Motegi again. Motegi sensed that the soldiers were losing their fighting spirit, and ordered the dog bear Tanakasa to urge the artillery.

The various units of the defenders, led by the reserves, fought forward. There is really a momentum to kill all the devils. There were also sharpshooters, scattered to the periphery of the 17th Wing, shooting one devil at a time. Of course, the quality of the devil soldiers is very high, and wherever they get guns, they will inevitably incur a pair of shots. Zhao Xintian, a soldier of the 235th Regiment, was a newly trained sharpshooter who killed a series of devils behind two big trees. Immediately two devils went to shoot at him, and one devil was immediately knocked off his hat. The devil gave him a thumbs up as he aimed.

The defenders suddenly found that the devil had pushed three cannons, and the spirit head was immediately frightened. Some of the members of the cadet regiment who accompanied the battalions immediately noticed this mental change and quickly responded to the commanders. Commander Miao also learned of this situation, and as the commander-in-chief of the front, he immediately ordered all units to maneuver to resist the enemy. and ordered the commander of the 235th Battalion of the 12th Regiment, Wang Kundi, to quickly draw out the sharp soldiers, detour back to the left side of the devil's artillery position, and knock out his gunner. But the devil is guarded, this trick will not work.

Suddenly, behind Yamaoka Jie's right side, the devil started to block it, it turned out to be the 18th and 19th battalions of the 236th Regiment, according to the deployment, to intersperse from the right side of Yamaoka Jie's right to the rear and cut off his retreat. I didn't think that Yamaoka Jie would set up a team here, using wood as a cover, and waiting for work. The 18th and 19th battalions could not advance. When the defenders in the west heard the blockade from the devils in the northeast, they thought that the 18th Battalion had succeeded, and immediately attacked forward under the cover of the terrain. How could the devils have mortars, machine guns and rifles, forming a three-layer fire network, and the defenders cannot advance.

On Chiwei Avenue, Qinggujian frequently sent out gaps to spy and spent a lot of money to buy traitors. Hou Qi of Wujia Village was said to have sent a counter-letter to the head of the Miao regiment in the name of looking for livestock and collecting firewood, and then got back the reply letter from the head of the Miao regiment and got a hundred oceans. Ono Tataro asked Motegi to attack from Chiwei Avenue, and the 234th Regiment bluffed at Tangjiashan, so frightened that he did not dare to move forward. Although Ghost Beta Taro Osaku was eager to try, he didn't know how many defenders there were on Tangjia Mountain, and Motegi didn't allow it, so he had to give up.

In the woods, the guns of the two armies came and went, and there were casualties among each other, but no one dared to step forward. The defenders were afraid of the devil's mortars and poison gas. The devils did not dare to rush forward, and if they were far away from the artillery position, the defenders would come up and chop melons and vegetables.

Just now the west wind was blowing strongly, blowing and blowing, and a trace of the east wind was blowing. Yamaoka Kiyoshi patted his thigh and said, "Yaxi, Amaterasu blesses, the east wind is finally here." Come on, pass on my orders, the biochemical troops ......"

At this time, in the direction of Shuiquangou, gunshots rang out......
