Li Hong's explosive power was really terrifying, and with a swing of the knife, he actually cut off the heads of two devils.

Now his strength is indeed terrifying, and the little devil is competing with Li Hong, which is simply giving people their heads.

The little devils around him fell one after another, and the number of devils was decreasing sharply.

After more than ten minutes, with the cooperation of the security regiment and the Sichuan army, all the little devils were annihilated.

After the victory of the battle, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and cleared the wounded soldiers.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, explosions and flames were burning everywhere, and piles of corpses were stacked on top of each other on the ground, most of these bloody corpses were small devils.

After a tug-of-war between the positions, the two lines of defense outside the city were lost and returned to the Chinese army.

If there is no reinforcement from the security regiment in the battle of Nanguan County, it will not only lose the defense line outside the city, but I am afraid that the defense line position inside the city will also be lost.

After this battle, the devil army suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, the Sichuan army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the security regiment suffered less than 300 casualties.

Although Nanguan County was defended after a hard battle, Li Hong did not have the slightest sense of happiness at this time.

The little devil suffered a defeat for the time being, and the attack failed, but with the savage style of the little devil, he could make a comeback at any time.

Nanguan County's vital strategic point is the only way to attack Xuzhou, and it is absolutely impossible for the little devils to withdraw their troops, and it is very likely that the Japanese army will continue to increase its troops to seize Nanguan County.

Subsequently, Li Hong deployed troops outside the city, and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment and the Sichuan army re-strengthened and built fortifications on the position.

Not long after, Peng Debiao took several officers to the front line to inspect the battlefield.

Peng Debiao valued Li Hong, and he specially found Li Hong and thanked him.

"Thank you so much to Commander Li, if there is no support from the security group, Nanguan County will probably fall into the hands of little devils." Peng Debiao gave up his hand to Li Hong and sincerely thanked Li Hong.

"Chief Peng, you are serious, this is what I Li Hong and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment should do." Li Hong saluted and smiled slightly.

The two chatted about the deployment of the positional defense line while inspecting various positions on the front line.

On the way to inspect the position, Li Hong paid special attention to the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan officers and men.

In the past, he had heard how backward and poor the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army were, but now that Li Hong saw the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army with his own eyes, the real situation was far worse than he imagined.

It is no exaggeration to say that the ordnance and materials of the Sichuan army are really not much stronger than the original security team.

Even if the weapons of the Sichuan army are poor, the key ammunition is still very scarce, and the ammunition that each soldier can use is only a few rounds, and the bullets are open, which is almost impossible.

Inspecting a position, Li Hong saw a Sichuan soldier tinkering with an old sleeve rifle.

Looking at the way the soldiers behaved, they seemed to cherish it very much, like a treasure.

Li Hong walked up to the young soldier and said lightly, "Brother, show me your weapon." ”

"Yes, sir."

The Sichuan soldiers handed the weapons in their hands to Li Hong.

Li Hong pulled the bolt a few times, looked at the magazine, and quickly disassembled some parts of this old rifle.

The rifling of the firearm was smoothed, the parts were damaged in many places, and the bolt was extremely unsmooth to pull, and it was easy to get stuck.

Judging by the degree of wear and tear of this gun, it is estimated that this gun is older than the soldier.

"What about bullets? I'll try guns. Li Hong asked the young soldier.

The soldier was silent, just shook his head.

Seeing the soldier's helpless look, Li Hong let out a long sigh, and suddenly, a sense of sadness arose.

Among the soldiers of the Sichuan army, it is considered lucky to have an old-fashioned rifle, mainly because there are no bullets yet, and this is the real situation of the Sichuan army.

Then, Li Hong asked the soldiers about their rations and supplies again.

Among the soldiers of the Sichuan army, most of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, their food bags are basically shriveled, and the officers and soldiers basically eat only one wild vegetable soup a day, and there are black nests that are as hard as stones.

Rice and other foods are basically invisible, and only the wounded can eat them.

Just ask, how can they fight without weapons and ammunition, without enough food replenishment?

The Sichuan army fought against the Japanese invaders, and they really fought with their lives and fought hard with their flesh and blood, which must be admired.

The Sichuan army did not have unified weapons and equipment, some soldiers were still using firearms, and even some reserves still used cold weapons.

Li Hong had seen the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army, and they were not afraid of death on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of the Central Army.

The Sichuan army fought very fiercely, with many casualties among officers and men, and in the final analysis, it was a matter of weaponry and logistics materials.

Considering the backwardness of the Sichuan army's weapons and equipment, Li Hong immediately ordered all the captured weapons and equipment to be sent to the Sichuan army.

As long as it is an anti-Japanese team, he will not be stingy again, and he will definitely generously send a wave of weapons, equipment and materials.

Li Hong not only gave everything captured to the Sichuan army, but he also sent dozens of grenadiers and mortars, 50 boxes of canned meat, and a lot of medical drugs to support the Sichuan army.

These weapons and artillery are indeed nothing to the security regiment, but for the Sichuan army, this is simply a luxury gift package of ordnance weapons.

As long as we have this batch of weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army will certainly be greatly enhanced, and it will also be able to reduce the casualties of many officers and men.

Peng Debiao was extremely moved when he saw Li Hong so generous.

"Commander Li, generosity and righteousness, Peng and the officers and soldiers of the 53rd Army are in mind."

Li Hong smiled disappreciatively: "Chief Peng, it's just some weapons and materials, don't take it to heart." ”

Being able to help the Sichuan army made him feel a lot more relieved.

After inspecting the position, Li Hong and Peng Debiao returned to Nanguan County, and the two discussed how to defend against the next Japanese attack.

……

It is located in Nanguan County, 35 kilometers, Wufu Town.

Wufu Town was the logistics base of the 37th Brigade of the Japanese Army, as well as the station of the field hospital.

Kitada Sukegawa, the commander of the Devil's Brigade, suffered multiple burns on his body and inhaled a lot of poisonous smoke on his body, but fortunately, the Devil's officers and soldiers sent him to the field hospital in time, otherwise, this old devil might really lose his life.

Kitada Sukegawa had just woken up, he was leaning on the hospital bed, his face wrapped in gauze, and he looked like an embarrassed mourning dog.

After a few minutes, several devil officers walked in slowly.

"How's the battle going in Nanguan County?" Kitada Sukegawa asked the devil officer next to the bed in a weak voice.

A devil Dazuo replied: "Report to the general, due to the arrival of reinforcements from the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army guarding Nanguan County, our army's attack on Nanguan County was defeated, and 2,500 imperial officers and soldiers of our department were shattered, and more than 400 soldiers of the 53rd Wing were shattered......"

"Baga, the battle of Nanguan County, actually caused the death of 3,000 imperial soldiers of our brigade......"

After listening to the casualty report, the corners of Kitada's mouth twitched fiercely.
