In the blink of an eye, the time has come to ten o'clock in the morning.

The Kuno Village troops had been storming Seventy-two Bays for half a morning

Looking at the dense wounded and corpses of the imperial soldiers rolling down the hillside, Kunomura Momoyo's mouth was crooked.

It's a pity that anger is anger, and the battle still has to be fought! Because there is no other way to detour in Seventy-two Bays.

Moreover, the infantry commander Saeki Fumiro gave them a death order, so at all costs, he must take the seventy-two bays, and then rush to the side of Yanmen Pass.

If he can't break through the defense line as soon as possible and appear behind the side of Yanmen Pass, there are only two results waiting for him, or he will be sent to a military court, or he will be seppuku to thank the emperor!

Neither outcome was what Momoyo Kunomura wanted.

Kunomura Momoyo would rather take Japanese soldiers and fill it in!

Even if you fill it with human life, you have to fill in a bloody path!

"Command!" Kunomura Momoyo gritted his teeth and said, "The 3rd Infantry Squadron takes over the attack!" ”

"Hello!" The herald slammed his head, then turned around and waved the two-color signal flag to give the order to the 3rd Infantry Squadron.

At this time, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Morita Fumizo, finally couldn't bear it anymore and pleaded: "Captain, the casualties of this assault are too great. ”

"Even if we finally break through the seventy-two bays, there will be only a few people left in our brigade."

"If that's the case, even if you rush to Yanmen Pass on time, I'm afraid it's useless."

"Morita-kun!" Kunomura Momoyo Huo Ran turned his head, stared at Morita Fumizo and shouted viciously and asked, "So, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Let's take a detour." Morita Fumizo said at once, "Send an infantry squadron to make a detour from the side." ”

"I believe that as long as this infantry squadron appears behind the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will collapse."

"Detouring from the flanks?" Momoyo Kunomura pointed to the towering mountains on both sides and said coldly, "How long do you think it will take to make a detour?" Quite a while? One day? Or two days? ”

"This ......" Morita Fumizo was speechless for a moment, he hadn't thought about this question yet.

"Fool, you didn't think about it at first glance." Kunomura Momodai said, "When we take a detour, I'm afraid that Ping'an County has already been lost, and the 69th Division is afraid that it has also been collectively broken!" In this case, even if you break through the seventy-two bays, even if you take the Yanmen Pass, what is the point? ”

"Hello!" Morita Fumizo was speechless.

Kunomura Momoyo gritted his teeth and said: "Morita-kun, you gather the remnants of the 1st and 2nd squadrons and combine them into a temporary squadron, if the attack of the 3rd squadron is still not smooth, you will personally lead the temporary squadron to the top, this time you must break through the 72 bay defense line no matter what, otherwise you will cut your stomach and thank you!" ”

"Hello!" Morita Fumizo paused, turned around and hurried away.

At this time, a signal corpsman hurriedly came over and reported one after another: "Wing Commander, the detachment headquarters has called and asked where we have arrived now?" When will you be able to reach Yanmen Pass? ”

Kunomura Momoyo stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Call back to the detachment headquarters, just say that the Kunomura troops have reached the seventy-two bays, about ......"

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said with a dark face: "Arrive at Yanmen Pass before evening!" ”

"Hello!" The Signal Corps paused.

……

Yanmen Pass, the battle situation is extremely tragic.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who had retreated again, Saeki Fumiro's mouth was crooked.

"Yaga...... Yaru! Fumiro Saeki gritted his teeth and said, "The positions on the two flanks are just dirt roads, not to mention the poor equipment, and there is a lack of training!" ”

"What is this idiot doing here?"

"After fighting for half a morning, I haven't been able to beat it down!"

"At this speed, when will you be able to reach Ping'an County?"

The wing commander of the 26th Wing of the Independent Artillery put down his binoculars and said: "Detachment leader, although the Zhina Army in the two flank positions is only a group of dirt and eight roads, the morale of these earth and eight roads is very high. ”

"Did you find it? In this attack just now, the Eighth Route Army actually launched a counter-assault! ”

"This group of dirt eight roads, actually used the white-knuckle combat that the imperial army is best at, and forcibly pushed back an infantry squadron of the Qiantian Wing from the hillside!"

Fumiro Saeki's face suddenly became even more embarrassed.

Today, unlike in the past, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has really declined.

Even in their 26th Division, the technical and tactical literacy of the soldiers is also declining.

The reason is very simple, the backbone veterans of the 26th Division are being rapidly consumed, and the speed of replenishment is far from being comparable to the speed of consumption, and the newly replenished soldiers are either reserve soldiers in the countryside or recruits with no combat experience, and their technical and tactical literacy cannot be compared with the previous veterans at all.

However, the technical and tactical literacy of the Eighth Route Army is rapidly improving.

Now even the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army dare to fight with them with bayonets!

"Command!" Saeki Fumiro said viciously, "The artillery wing immediately covered the positions on both flanks, and blew up these dirt legs for me, and blew them up!" ”

"Hello!" Entering the river, Guan Er paused heavily.

The artillery group of the 26th Wing of the Independent Artillery immediately aimed its guns at the positions on both flanks of Yanmen Pass and launched an artillery bombardment.

Looking at the clouds of smoke and dust rising from the hillsides on both sides of Yanmen Pass, and from time to time the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were swept into the air by the air waves generated by the explosion, Saeki Fumiro's mood finally improved a little.

With a sigh of relief, Saeki Fumiro said in a deep voice: "The Eighth Route Army is the Eighth Route Army after all, and it is impossible to compare with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in terms of technical and tactical literacy or fighting spirit. ”

"Therefore, as long as the troops of Kuno Village appear on the side of Yanmen Pass, the Dirt Eight Road will definitely collapse in an instant."

"I just don't know when the Kuno Village troops will arrive? It is best to arrive before noon, so as not to be delayed too long at Yanmen Pass. ”

As soon as the words fell, a signal soldier hurried over.

The signal corps ran to Fumiro Saeki and reported, "Detachment leader, the Kuno Village troops have called back, and they will not be able to reach Yanmen Pass until evening." ”

"Nani?" Fumiro Saeki was stunned and said, "You can only arrive in the evening?" ”

The next moment, Saeki Fumiro broke out: "Call back to the Kunomura troops immediately, ask them to speed up, they must arrive before two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise, their entire Kunomura troops will be thanked!" ”

"Hello!" The signal corps slammed his head and hurried back to call back the Kunomura troops.

Fumiro Saeki raised his binoculars again and focused his vision on the hillside to the right of Yanmen Pass.

But I saw that the entire hillside was completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and I couldn't see the battlefield clearly.

At the foot of the hill, another squadron of more than 100 Japanese soldiers was rushing up with bayonets.
