Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Bitter Battle

Early the next morning, the 68th Wing of the Japanese Army led by Takashi Sen launched a fierce attack on Baoshan County.

After fierce fighting until noon, the Japanese army still did not capture Baoshan after paying the price of hundreds of casualties.

Annoyed and angry, Takashi Mori couldn't help but ask the division headquarters for support from naval guns.

"Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the country and filial piety to the nation! Yesterday we were able to defeat the Japanese army at Wusong, and today we can defeat them again! In order to give the soldiers a glimmer of hope, he said: "I have called the division headquarters, and the division seat said that reinforcements are already on the way and will soon arrive in Baoshan."

In addition, the commander of the first company is also looking for a suitable opportunity to join us inside and outside behind enemy lines

So, we just need to stick to it and kill more Japanese criminals! ”

In fact, Yao Ziqing also understands that under the blockade of the enemy's powerful ground-air firepower, it may be difficult for any counterattack to be effective; Even if reinforcements arrive, they may not be able to defeat the wolf-like devils.

In today's war, I am afraid that I will have to sacrifice my life for the country.

However, Yao Ziqing, who has experienced a hundred battles, has already put life and death aside, and now that the national disaster is at hand, as a soldier, he must have the preparation and consciousness of blood on the battlefield.

The only thing that made him feel at ease was his wife at home and his young children.

"Hurricane!"

"Hurricane! ——”

It's just that before Yao Ziqing had time to grieve, there was a rapid sound of cannonballs breaking through the air in the sky.

He had already fought with the Japanese army several times, and he couldn't help but change color, because he could immediately hear that it was the sound of the Japanese naval gun's rapid attack.

Yao Ziqing immediately urged loudly with a loud voice: "The enemy is attacking, hidden, quickly hidden!" ”

The officers and men of the 3rd Battalion ran down the city wall one after another and hid in the original air defense fortifications in Baoshan County.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

The caliber of one or two hundred millimeters, or even larger, naval artillery shells fell like dumplings in Baoshan County, and suddenly set off one monstrous flame after another.

The deafening explosion then resounded in the sky, and Yao Ziqing and the officers and soldiers hid in the bunker, and the stone chips and dust above their heads continued to fall.

The ground under his feet shook with the sound of explosions, and some of the soldiers who were close to the wall were even injured in their internal organs, and blood continued to spill out of their mouths.

Seeing this, Yao Ziqing immediately shouted: "Squat in an empty place, don't lean against the wall!" ”

In order to be ashamed, the Japanese army also invested enough money, and the shelling lasted for more than half an hour.

Covered by naval artillery fire, the already devastated county town of Baoshan was even more devastated, with ruins everywhere, and almost no complete building could be seen.

At this time, the vigilant sentries who ventured to stay on the city wall to observe the enemy's situation soon found that a large number of heavily armed devil infantry appeared outside the north gate, and they were slowly approaching the county town in an offensive formation.

When almost 500 meters or so, the light and heavy machine guns are within the effective lethal range.

The devil infantry suddenly and quickly dispersed, and accelerated sharply in a straggler formation, swarming towards the north gate like a tide.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

After Yao Ziqing got the news, he immediately led the whole battalion of soldiers to rush out of various air raid bunkers and went to each gate to guard them, preparing to meet the enemy.

Yao Ziqing personally led more than 150 people to the West Gate to meet the enemy.

After a bloody battle, they finally routed the Japanese army attacking from the West Gate.

However, the east gate and the north gate were destroyed by the devil's naval artillery because of the city wall, and they were successively declared lost under the onslaught of the Japanese army at any cost.

As a result, Yao Ziqing had to shrink his forces and engage in street battles with the devils in the city.

As soon as they retreated, the devils suddenly surrounded them like flies that smelled.

Seeing the army of devils slowly advancing along the street, a scout quickly ran to Yao Ziqing and reported: "Battalion commander, the devils are attacking again!" ”

Yao Ziqing was silent, the matter has come to this point, and there is only a fight to the death.

"Battalion commander, can reinforcements still come?

Also, why hasn't he come back yet, the commander of the first company? Did he abandon us and run away alone? A platoon commander of the Third Company asked Yao Ziqing with some despair.

His words resonated with the remaining soldiers in the battalion, and for a while, morale suddenly fell a little.

"Regardless of whether the reinforcements arrive or not, today we will fight to the end with the little devils, if not for anything else, just for the robes who died beside us! You're right?" Yao Ziqing immediately boosted morale.

The soldiers recalled their fallen comrades-in-arms and brothers, and were suddenly aroused by hatred and anger, what if there were no reinforcements? Anyway, the battalion commander is not afraid of death, so what else do we big-headed soldiers have to be afraid of?

Follow the battalion commander and the little devil to fight to the end, if you can kill one, you can earn one, and if you kill two, you will earn one.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Ziqing said: "In addition, if the first company commander wanted to be a deserter, he would not have joined my 3rd battalion yesterday, let alone returned to Baoshan."

The first company commander is the hero of my 3rd battalion, and in this case, I don't want to hear it a second time!

Also, the commander of the first company told me last night that he would kill the little devil behind at the right opportunity, cooperate with us inside and outside, and kill the little devil without leaving a piece of armor!

Therefore, we must hold on and hold on until the first company commander comes back! ”

In fact, Yao Ziqing's heart is also quite complicated, he prefers Yang Jing to really lead the team to escape, because a talent like him is far more important to survive than to be trapped in Baoshan.

But he couldn't say that.

The soldiers remembered Yang Jing's miraculous performance in Wusong yesterday, and a glimmer of victory suddenly floated in their hearts.

At the moment, Yao Ziqing commanded the troops to reorganize the defense in the city, relying on the private buildings.

……

At this time, Yang Jing, who jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, did not immediately kill Baoshan, but was looking for the command of the devil.
