Chapter 81: The Mantis Arm Blocks the Car

Li Hong saw Chen Changjie suddenly arrive, hurriedly put down the pen and paper in his hand, walked forward and saluted Chen Changjie, and by the way, he ordered the orderlies to pour tea.

"Chief Chen, this is about to be a war, why did you suddenly come to the front line of Xikou Village?"

Chen Changjie took a sip of tea and said with a stern expression: "The war is imminent, I, Chen Changjie, as the left-wing commander, must go to the front line to supervise the battle. ”

"Chief Chen personally came to the front line to supervise the battle to boost morale, this battle, our army will win!" Li Hong said firmly.

Chen Changjie glanced at Li Hong's headquarters, and quickly noticed the conspicuous "Military Discipline Order" of the security regiment posted on the door frame.

Immediately, he moved to the front of the military order and read the military discipline one by one.

"Kill those who cower on the battlefield, and kill those who flee from the battle! On the battlefield, those who are greedy for life and fear of the dead will be killed, and those who lie about the military will be killed! Those who delay fighters on the battlefield will be killed, and those who disobey military orders will be killed! Those who shake the hearts of the army on the battlefield kill ......"

Behind this military discipline and order to deter soldiers, a firm determination to resist the war can be reflected.

After Chen Changjie finished reading the Ten Killings Order, he asked Li Hong curiously: "Commander Li, did you promulgate these military discipline orders?" ”

"Yes, Chief Chen, this Ten Killings Order was issued by a humble officer." Li Hong nodded, and said in a serious tone: "From the soldiers to the regiment commanders of the security regiment, everyone must remember every military order, and those who violate it will be killed!" ”

"Good, good, this Ten Kills Order looks like it has momentum and determination!"

Instead, Chen Changjie ordered the adjutant: "Adjutant Jiang, copy all these ten killing orders for me, call all the ministries, and immediately issue this order, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes, Master!"

Soon, the adjutant copied down the order of ten killings, and then handed it over to the communications squad to inform the departments of the Left Wing Army by telegram.

……

In the afternoon, the devil's 171st Kameda Wing and 153rd Panasonic Wing were all reinforced, and at this time, the two wings were assembled around the Nanhuaihua position.

These two wings are the vanguard units under the old devil of Itagaki and belong to the elite reinforced wings that fight independently.

Their full strength is higher than that of ordinary first-class wings, and their weapons and equipment are artillery, even better than some independent brigades.

These two wings were arrogant and invincible, and not long ago in the area of Pingxingguan, they swept through the Jin Sui Army and a division of the Central Army.

On a hill three kilometers away from the Nanhuaihua position, at this time, several devil officers were standing on the high point of the hill, observing the front through binoculars.

"Matsushita-kun, look at it, the front is the Nanhuaihua position, and the troops stationed in front are the Security Regiment, the 386th Regiment and the 321st Regiment."

The devil officer who spoke was the 171st Wing Commander Kameda Motoshima.

Panasonic Kudai picked up the binoculars and reconnoitred the position in Nanhuaihua, and then turned his eyes to the direction of Xikou Village.

Looking at the station of the security regiment from afar, a hatred of killing a son instantly rose in his heart.

"Security Corps, Li Hong, I, Panasonic Kudai, will definitely let you all die......"

Panasonic Kudai put down the binoculars and said through gritted teeth, I really wanted to chew Li Hong's bones.

"Matsushita-kun, don't be angry, as an imperial soldier, you should put the battle situation first, not hatred, otherwise, you will be a sinner of the empire."

"Kameda-kun, thank you for your advice."

Matsushita Kudai listened to Kameda Motoshima's advice and temporarily suppressed the personal hatred in his heart.

After a while, Kameda Motoshima sneered disdainfully: "Matsushita-kun, there are only three regiments of Chinese soldiers defending on the opposite side, less than 5,000 people, just because they want to block our two reinforced wings, it is really beyond their power to block the car!"

"Kameda-kun, don't underestimate the enemy, these three regiments are very strong in combat and equipped with many artillery pieces, and Fujiwara-kun was planted in their hands." Panasonic Kudai calmly assessed the strength of his opponent.

"Signal soldier, send a report to General Itagaki and let the flying team provide air support and cooperate with our two wings to attack!"

"Hayi!"

After receiving the orders of the two wing commanders, the ghost soldiers with the radio on their backs immediately began to prepare and send telegrams.

Matsushita Kudai and Kameda Motoshima, followed by an offensive operations meeting.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Devil's flying team took the lead in dispatching bombers.

"Buzz—"

As everyone knows, whoever has air supremacy on the battlefield will have an absolute advantage in firepower.

The attack of the devils was very rapid, and the enemy not only sent bombers to bomb the positions of the 321st and 386th regiments, but also used the "secret weapon" tear gas bombs on a large scale.

It has long been known that the little devils are vile on the battlefield, and that these brutes ignore any protection conventions and use all kinds of chemical gas bombs in a frenzy.

Tear gas bombs are chemical weapons that were used by the enemy in the Battle of Liaohu, which can make soldiers lose their will and can also produce a large number of smoke screens, creating a visual obstruction for the other side.

The little devil likes to use gas bombs because of the simple operation and good effect, gas bombs can be released using aerial bombs, or they can be fired with grenadiers.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

One after another, aerial bombs bombarded the positions of the 321st and 386th regiments, and soon a large smoke screen rose from the positions of the two regiments.

The thick smoke screen spread out in all directions, forming layers of smoke curtain walls five or six meters high.

Although the officers and men of the two regiments defending the position were equipped with gas masks, these smoke screens completely covered the line of sight of the defenders, which was equivalent to shortening the defensive distance.

For example, if the enemy is 200 meters away, the defenders can fire at 200 meters, but once the defenders are obscured by a smoke screen, the enemy can quickly rush to the position with fewer casualties.

Waiting for the bombers to leave, the artillery of the little devils began to shell all sorts of explosives in the forward positions.

After clearing the explosives, the devils began to attack.

"Imperial warriors, occupy the position in front, duck and chicken!"

The two wings of the devil each sent a part of their troops, and they attacked in two directions.

"Da Da Da-"

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

"Brothers, get into position, don't let the little devils rush up!"

Because the smoke obscured the line of sight, it was difficult for the attacking enemy to be very clear, and the soldiers of the 321st and 386th regiments on the position could only take intensive fire to suppress them.

Countless bullets shuttled back and forth in the smoke screen, and the little devils, wearing gas masks and under the cover of the smoke screen, launched a charge against the 321st regiment and the 386 positions on the middle and south flanks respectively.

"Buzz—"

The devil's air force was very cunning, and when the defenders came out of the bunkers and foxholes, suddenly, a shrill engine sound came again.

Several Kawasaki Type 93 bombers suddenly turned back and began to bomb the officers and men of the 321st and 386th regiments in turn.
