Arisaka Qixiong overcame all the obstacles all the way and soon arrived in Xiongxin Province, which made Jiang Yicheng sleep. The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Field Army is Wang Shouyang, and legend has it that Wang Shouyang was once the immortal god of war of the national army, with more than 20 shots in his body, and he was still able to survive the miracle, and he fought for many years, and finally became the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Field Army.

He and Jiang Yicheng are old comrades-in-arms, the two were the commander and political commissar of a division respectively, the latter was swept away by the first division led by Arisaka Qixiong, only nearly 1,000 people survived in the whole division, and the rest were sacrificed under the butcher's knife of Arisaka Qixiong. Facing their old opponents again this time, the two inevitably had some scruples in their hearts.

"Lao Jiang, the old opponent Qixiong's kid has already led his troops to our territory, shouldn't we, as the host, express it?"

"Lao Wang, I think it's okay, back then, this old boy outflanked us by land, sea and air, and our last life hung by a thread, if it weren't for the brothers who desperately rescued us from the fire, where could there be the current Fifth Field Army, don't say anything, how we were angry back then, just return it to him one by one today."

"I'll see it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, recalling what happened back then, and the two of them did escape death. In order to protect the safety of the chief, the soldiers desperately rescued the two, resulting in the death of hundreds of people, and now, it is time to settle old scores with Arisaka Kio.

"Pass my order, artillery battalions, tank brigades, heavy brigades, air support units, fully reinforce the front line, and stop the enemy from the borders of Xiongxin Province at all costs."

After all, Arisaka Kio is the trump card of the Japanese here, and the equipment used has long been refurbished, and now it is the most advanced equipment in the country, which is several grades ahead of the most advanced equipment in China in terms of performance, sensitivity, and combat effectiveness. Wang Shouyang's plane and tank, Kio Arisaka, didn't pay attention to it at all.

Two days later, all reinforcements rushed to the front and engaged the 1st Division in a fierce engagement, with heavy casualties among the Nationalist troops.

Although the Fifth Field Army has aircraft and tanks, these equipment have been captured over the years, and the lethality and defensive capabilities of the wheel cannot be matched with those made in the country of Kobu. The Nationalist army suffered a great loss, but the fighters still kept the enemy out of the border of Xiongxin Province at the cost of heavy casualties.

Wang Shouyang and Jiang Yicheng are very distressed, are the tragedies of more than ten years ago going to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Jiang Yao and Liu Yifeng also received news in the three eastern provinces that Arisaka Qixiong was attacking Xiongxin Province. Jiang Yao was very worried about his father's safety, and Liu Yifeng also saw Jiang Yao's thoughts, so the two said goodbye to Division Commander Wang and marched to Xiongxin Province with an independent regiment.

Seeing that his first division had not taken a step forward, Arisaka was very angry and ordered that if the whole army did not enter Xiongxin Province within three days, he would personally dispose of all the leaders. At this moment, all the officers of the Japanese Kou were all excited about war, and they were eager to attack Xiongxin Province immediately.

On the second day, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades of Arisaka Kixiong sent to attack the defenders of Xiongxin Province from three directions, and raided the three county towns of Jiaqi City respectively.

The defenders in these three counties were the 1st, 2nd, and 4th regiments of the 3rd Division of the 5th Field Army, the 3rd and 5th regiments were reinforcements, the 6th and 7th regiments were the blocking troops, and the 9th Regiment was responsible for protecting the headquarters of the 3rd Division.

The three county seats are Chi County, Zhi County, Yi County, these three counties can be called the guarantee of Xiongxin Province, there is a dangerous mountain outside the three counties, the mountain road is rugged, and the mountain road is winding. At the foot of the mountain, there is a turbulent river, this river is called Qinglong Xiao, in the middle of each month, the water potential of the river rises sharply, its sound is low and surging, like the roar of the green dragon, so it is named Qinglong Xiao.

The terrain here is so dangerous, and there is a division guarding here, it is not easy for the Japanese to attack it. But Kio Arisaka just doesn't believe in this evil.

There is a stone bridge in Qinglongxiao, and if you want to pass Qinglongxiao, you must cross the stone bridge, and the national army has set up a defense line here in Shiqiao to block the enemy from passing through the stone bridge.

Seeing that the side of the stone bridge was heavily guarded, Kio Arisaka ordered the artillery to bombard the other side of the river, disrupting the enemy's position and then flying at the bridge.

After about 20 minutes of shelling, the Nationalist positions suffered heavy casualties, and the defenders withdrew from their positions because they could not withstand the heavy shelling of the Japanese invaders.

Li Yuzhong, the commander of the first regiment, proposed to blow up the stone bridge to block the enemy's attack, but his opinion was vetoed by several other regiment commanders, if the stone bridge was blown up, then Qinglongxiao would forever block the two places, the stone bridge was an achievement that the predecessors had exchanged for their lives for several generations, and it could not be easily destroyed, so the enemy could only be let in first.

This mountain in front of the three counties is called Hushi Mountain, because it is not only precipitous, but also infested with tigers, so it is named Hushi Mountain, and now after Qinglongxiao is so easily occupied by the enemy, Hushi Mountain has become the last line of defense for the safety of the three counties.

Li Yuzhong, the commander of the 1st regiment, sent people to build an air-raid shelter and a blocking position here as early as three days ago, and he was a very far-sighted person, so he became the commander of the main regiment of the 3rd Division at a young age.

He thought very early on that it was very simple for the enemy to attack so fiercely to break through the Qinglong Xiao defense line, if the stone bridge was not blown up, then Hushi Mountain would definitely be the last hope of their three counties, so he made preparations in Hushi Mountain early.

Zhao Laosan, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, had a very good relationship with Li Yuzhong, the two of them joined the army together, and they were promoted to regiment commanders at the same time. Everything Li Yuzhong did was actually used by Zhao Laosan to block the enemy, he had heard of the name of Yusaka Qixiong, and had fought with him before, so he understood this person's methods of warfare.

Zhao Laosan ordered the troops to block the enemy in the town first, and once they heard the sound of enemy bombers flying, they immediately entered the air-raid shelter to reduce losses.

Due to the limited width of the stone bridge, it was time-consuming for land weapons such as heavy tanks to cross the river one after another. At this time, Kio Ban was at the end of the line, and he didn't know the form ahead. When the Japanese were slow to advance, Arisaka's adjutant ordered a part of the infantry to cross the stone bridge first and attack the Mt. Hushi, which was defended by the Nationalist army, but Arisaka was unaware of this.

Nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers launched an attack on Hushi Mountain, and the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment immediately resisted, and Hushi Mountain was immediately plunged into a rain of bullets.

"The first battalion and the second battalion, aim at the center of the stone bridge to fight me, and the third battalion will give me all the enemies who have crossed the stone bridge and put them in, and no one is allowed to come in!"

Zhao Laosan commanded the troops to block the enemy, and many of the Japanese fell into the green dragon roar after being hit, the river slowly turned red, and the smell of blood spread in the air.

Kio Arisaka soon noticed that something was wrong, he got out of the car to check, and found that his fighters were falling one by one, he immediately asked the soldiers around him who gave the order, and after ascertaining the situation, Kio Arisaka pulled his lieutenant in front of him.

"Baga, who gave you the authority to transfer troops without authorization?"

Kio Arisaka scolded while giving the adjutant a slap.
