Chapter 855: Surrender of military power

The 81st Division, under the command of a regiment of the 17th Division led by Lei Yunfeng, finally joined up with the 17th Division in the closed defense line.

According to the order of the Supreme Commander of the Nakajo Mountain Theater, the 17th and 81st Divisions were ordered to block the Japanese troops in the closed gate defense line, and they were not allowed to retreat half a step back without an order.

The two brigades of the Suzuki Division of the Japanese Army won a complete victory in attacking the Huling defense line of the 81st Division, and although the troops caused some casualties, they broke through the Huling defense line of the 81st Division, and then they were able to concentrate their forces to attack the second line of defense of the 17th Division of the Wangwushan Front in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater.

At this time, the Japanese Suzuki Division had been assembled in the area of the closed gate and joined up with the Inoue Yong Brigade who attacked the second line of defense of the 17th Division.

The commander of the Suzuki Division said arrogantly in view of the problem that the Inoue Yong Brigade attacked the 17th Division's closed defense line during the day and never broke through the enemy's positional defense line: "How can the best warriors of the more than 26,000 members of the Suzuki Division of the Imperial Japanese Army be blocked by the 17th Division, which has no combat effectiveness?"

"I order, in the early morning of tomorrow, concentrate the main force of the division to launch the most ferocious attack on the 17th Division's closed defense line, and must break through the enemy's position before dark, advance rapidly to the Xiyang River, and then capture Fenglingdu and Yongji City."

In the early morning of the next day, the Japanese Suzuki Division adjusted its deployment and ordered the Inoue Brigade to break through in the middle, and the other two brigades launched the fiercest attack from both flanks.

The commander of the 17th Division, Zhao Division, found that the Japanese army had increased its strength and counterattacked the closed gate defense line on all fronts, and the entire closed gate defense line was full of gunfire and gunfire, and a fierce battle was launched at the front of the position.

Division Commander Zhao said to Commander He of the 81st Division: "My brother is supervising the battle in the rear, and I rushed to the front line to personally take command, and I must beat the Japanese troops who are frantically attacking my closed defense line." ā€

"Brother Zhao, the front line is dangerous, please pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, Brother He, the little devil can't help me." Division Commander Zhao, with the divisional combat staff officer and several guards, rushed out of the command post and braved the enemy's artillery fire to quickly intersperse between the positions, and soon came to the front-line troops.

At this time, Lei Yunfeng, who returned to the headquarters of the 17th Division of the closed defense line, heard that the commander of the 17th Division Zhao personally rushed to the front line to direct the operation, so frightened that he led the cheetah commando team to the front line to protect Division Commander Zhao.

Lei Yunfeng rushed in front of the soldiers, followed by more than 60 Cheetah commando soldiers who abandoned their horses and walked on foot, fearing that Lei Yunfeng would cause casualties due to bullets flying sideways in the position and shells falling around him at any time, so they desperately guarded Lei Yunfeng in the middle.

In their hearts, even if the Cheetah commando soldiers died on the battlefield, they must protect Lei Yunfeng, an anti-Japanese hero, and command the witty and resolute young officers to live well.

Because they think that Lei Yun Feng is more capable than them, as long as they can ensure that Lei Yun Feng is alive, they can lead their brothers to kill more little devils.

If Lei Yunfeng runs, it can be said that no one is his opponent, but now he is being protected by the surrounding warriors with his body and moves slowly, not only shouting: "Spread out for me, pay attention to protect yourself, only if you give me a good life, can you kill more little devils with me." Did you hear it all, bastard, don't get in front of me, okay? ā€

No matter how Lei Yunfeng shouted, reprimanded, and abused, the soldiers who protected him in front and behind always stayed left and right, forcing Lei Yunfeng to suddenly fly and jump to the front, and quickly ran to the front-line command post of Commander Zhao of the 17th Division.

Division Commander Zhao was giving an order to a regiment commander at the front-line command post, and suddenly found that Lei Yunfeng led dozens of soldiers to appear in front of him, he not only rushed over excitedly and tightly grabbed Lei Yunfeng and said:

"Brother Lei is really blessed with a great life, in the Huling defense line, there are more than a dozen fighters bombing, there are tanks and artillery heavy firepower, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers are chasing and intercepting, you can break out of the encirclement and return alive, I don't see the hell, right?"

"Division Commander Zhao didn't see the hell, it was Lei Yunfeng who was standing in front of you alive, now the Japanese army is concentrating its superior forces to launch a crazy attack on the closed defense line, you are very dangerous to command on the front line, please return to the rear to command, okay?"

"Ha, haha, Captain Lei, you, the supervisor sent to the Western Route Army with the capital, can hide in the rear and supervise justifiably, but since you came to the Western Route Army, you have been risking to fight the enemy on the front line, you are not afraid of death, I ......."

"Division Commander Zhao, you are wrong, you are the supreme commander of the 17th Division, and you are also a senior commander who can fight big battles and vicious battles, you can't take the slightest risk, I implore you to return to the rear to command, okay?"

"Commissioner Lei said so, I don't know if it is on behalf of the Military Command Department or Commander Wei on behalf of the Western Route Army, it won't be that you are giving me orders as your supervisor, right?"

"It's nothing, I'm a colonel in the army, for the sake of the 17th Division, for the safety of your life, I make a pertinent request to you, if you don't worry, I can command on the front line on your behalf, please believe that I Lei Yunfeng still has this ability."

"Hahaha, Brother Lei, as a supervisor, you put life and death aside, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? Now that the situation on the front line is tense, I must personally command Brother Lei and ask Brother Lei to leave the dangerous place quickly, otherwise I will be rude. ā€

Just as Division Commander Zhao and Lei Yunfeng were talking, an officer who was wrapped in gauze and bleeding suddenly rushed in and shouted loudly to report: "Report to the division seat, regimental seat, the Japanese Inoue Yong Brigade has once again launched the most ferocious attack on our forward position, my first line of defense is lost, the second line of defense is also in danger, and now I need reinforcements." ā€

"Huang Jianuo, you, why are you here?"

"You, you're ......, Chief Thunder of Thundercloud Peak, I—I'm not dreaming, are I? How did you appear at the command post of the 17th Regiment of the 54th Division. ā€

The colonel, who had just reported the battle situation on the front line with Division Commander Zhao, heard Huang Jianuo shout 'Lei Yunfeng Commander Lei', not only threw himself at Lei Yunfeng and hugged him tightly and shouted:

"Captain Lei, I'm Guo Fengming, it was you who rescued me from the first line of defense in Yongji, and it was you who led the disabled 54th Regiment to fight the enemy behind enemy lines for nearly a month, and when you returned, the 54th Regiment not only expanded into a full-fledged combat regiment, but also greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the troops, and now your sudden appearance really excites me."

"You, you're Head Guo? You're recovering well now, aren't you? ā€

"Thank you Captain Lei for your concern, my injuries have all healed, and I am fully qualified for the position of commander of the 54th Regiment, and I can lead the soldiers of the whole regiment to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield."

Guo Fengming was talking and suddenly looked at Division Commander Zhao and pleaded: "Division, the 54th Regiment can recover in a very short period of time, and the weaponry and combat effectiveness of the troops have been greatly improved, these are the merits of Captain Lei Yunfeng. ā€

"Head Guo, what do you want to explain by saying this? He will not cower at the moment of the great enemy and want to hand over the command and go to the rear to ...... himself. ā€

"The division seat is half right, the current 54th Regiment was created by Captain Lei, and the soldiers of the unit admire Captain Lei very much, if the 54th Regiment is now handed over to Captain Lei to command, I think the combat effectiveness of the troops will be unprecedentedly skyrocketed.

If the division agrees, I can serve as the deputy commander of the 54th Regiment and cooperate with Captain Lei to command the troops to meet the frantic attack launched by the Japanese Inoue Brigade. I also ask the division seat to agree to my request, and I and all the officers and men of the 54th Regiment will thank the division seat. ā€

Lei Yunfeng didn't expect Guo Fengming to do this, so frightened that he quickly refused.
