Embankment garrison company. After receiving a call from Company Commander Wang, Niu Guoji, the commander of the sixth platoon, immediately sounded the battle alarm, and at the same time, the whole platoon entered the fortifications to prepare for battle.

Alerts are commands! When the terrible battle alarm sounded, the garrison company on the bank of the Yellow River entered the defensive position as quickly as possible. At this time, Company Commander Wang was riding a horse from the battalion headquarters to this side.

While the alarm reminds the garrison company to enter the position, it is also tantamount to telling the devil: You have been discovered, if you want to surrender, hurry up, and if you don't surrender, you will start fighting! The devils finally risked being drowned, and the third watch smuggled across the Yellow River in the middle of the night, and of course they would not surrender easily. As soon as the devil officer saw that he had been discovered, he immediately ordered his ghost soldiers: Let's fight!

The mortar of the landing force had just been erected, and before I knew what the effect was, it was just time to fire the calibration head. With the artillery squad leader's order to open fire, there was a bang, and mortar shells flew towards the position of the garrison company with a whistling sound.

At first, the first few shells were really not accurate, either hitting the front of the position or falling behind the position, and our soldiers on the position were quite happy. But they didn't rejoice for long, and the devil's shells hit the right time. One shell after another exploded near our positions, and the shrenchnel flew everywhere so that our soldiers could not lift their heads.

Two of the shells fell into the trench by accident, blowing up several meters of the trench, not to mention that our soldiers in the trench were also killed and wounded more than a dozen. Then the devil infantry began to attack. A large group of devil soldiers lined up in a skirmish line, holding guns and hunching their waists, and pressed up to our army's position step by step!

The fighters of the garrison company began to return fire. Before the company commander returned, the cooperation between the platoons and platoons was not so close, coupled with the fact that the number was significantly less than that of the Japanese and the weapons were inferior, our army was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of this battle.

The commander of the landing force of the devil was an experienced veteran general on the battlefield, and within ten minutes of the start of the battle, this guy saw the weakness of the national army's insufficient strength and firepower on the position. Taking advantage of the weakness and avoiding the real and attacking the false has always been the winning rule on the battlefield, since the devils have discovered the weakness of our army, where are they willing to let go?

The first batch of more than 100 devils who landed rushed up desperately, and the garrison company soon couldn't stand it. An hour into the battle, the garrison company finally let the devil get rid of the position!

Company Commander Wang, who was bent on rushing back to the army as soon as possible, broke his horsewhip. The war horse that the battalion commander regarded as a treasure was beaten by him, and his butt was full of bloody purlins. Almost before reaching the position, he was confronted by the defeated and retreating army. Company Commander Wang took a closer look, heh, many of them were acquaintances, and most of them were familiar to him, isn't this his riverbank garrison company!

casually pulled someone over and asked, and sure enough, the river defense position was lost! Company Commander Wang's head buzzed! On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, you will lose your position without any reason, but you will lose your head! At that time, no one will say a good word for him!

Even if he had to do something to save his life. While gathering the remnants of the defeated generals and preparing to counterattack, Company Commander Wang sent people to report to the battalion commander what happened here.

The battalion commander has just given orders to several companies under his command one by one, ordering them to immediately concentrate on the position of Pipa Chen Ferry! As soon as the order went down, the heralds from the front arrived on horseback. The battalion commander hurriedly called people over to interrogate the battle situation: "How is the situation of the riverbank garrison company?" ”

"Report to the battalion commander, something bad is a big deal. The enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the river defense position has been lost! ”

"What do you say? The river defense position was lost? Where's your company commander? ”

"The position was lost before the company commander arrived! The enemy's artillery fire was so fierce that the trenches were blown up, and the brothers couldn't stand it! The herald introduced the battle situation at the front with a crying voice.

"How many devils have landed?"

"Less than two hundred. And there are boats crossing the river overnight! I don't know if the second batch of Japanese troops has landed now. ”

The battalion commander gasped! There were nearly 200 devils in the first batch to land, and even if Wang Huzi didn't come to play mahjong tonight, he couldn't stand it! After giving himself a good reason, the battalion commander talked to several company commanders on the phone, and after emphasizing the order to go to Pipa Chen for reinforcements in the battle, he rode the lame horse to meet the regiment commander!

The battalion commander's horse was lame after being wounded by Company Commander Wang, and the herald rode over and handed it over to the battalion headquarters order. The battalion commander was in a hurry to see the regiment commander to report the battle situation, and he couldn't find a means of transportation for a while, so he had to let the lame horse finally make another effort.

After this time, this once divine horse was completely retired. At a certain time when there was a shortage of food, the lame horse sacrificed the last time of his life with light and heat, and was made into several pots of stew, saving the lives of dozens of people.

The news of the Japanese landing at the Pipachen Ferry quickly spread throughout the Third Army. General Sun Tongxuan, commander-in-chief of the group army, ordered the 22nd Division to recapture Pipa Chen, ordered the 20th Division to support the 22nd Division, and called He Cuizhi, commander of the 81st Division stationed in Xinzheng, to lead his troops to the east of Zhengzhou, ready to meet the 20th and 22nd Divisions at any time.

The Central Plains is rekindled with war! After the Japanese forward troops gained a foothold, the follow-up troops landed from Pipa Chen by boat. The landing force of the devils is one after another, one after another, one after another, and there is a steady stream. From a squadron to a brigade, to a wing, to a brigade!

Our army is unable to catch up with one step, step by step. When you go up to a battalion, the enemy has landed a brigade; Your side sent a regiment, and the devil came to a wing; When the 22nd Division was all pressed, the devils had already landed a brigade!

If the battle is fought to such an extent, it will not be something that can be solved by one regiment or division, and then the entire Third Army will have to participate in the battle, and perhaps there will be a few chances of victory.

In order to deal with the large-scale landing of the devil this time, Sun Tongxuan ordered all the direct teams and reserves under the command of the Third Army Headquarters to go to the front line to participate in the battle! The direct superior of the Flying Tiger Battalion is Commander-in-Chief Sun, who is naturally a direct subordinate team of the group army headquarters. After the order arrived at the Flying Tiger Battalion, Ren Laifeng immediately led the entire Flying Tiger Battalion to the battlefield to help!

"Report to the commander, our army has been found to be routed ahead!" As soon as the troops arrived in the eastern suburbs of Zhengzhou, the scouts in front reported that they had found a rout.

"Order the troops to stop advancing! I'll go to the front and take a look! Ren Laifeng took Feng Wenying, Huang Tian, Huang Guojin and the soldiers of the guard platoon to cross the troops to the front and stand, and a group of stragglers rushed over in front of him.

Ren Laifeng took out a pistol and fired two shots into the sky: "Smack!" Syllable! ”

The rout running in front suddenly stopped.

"Stop! What are you from? ”
