Yoshio Shinozuka forced Ichiro Nanata to storm the plank road, and even the Nationalist Army's favorite battlefield supervision team was sent, but it is conceivable that the defensive counterattack of the third battalion and the second company of the new 1st Regiment on the plank road has already made Yoshio Shinozuka impetuous.

It's just that I have to say that with Yoshio Shinozuka personally driving to the headquarters of Ichiro Nanata, he supervised the battle nearby.

As a last resort, Nanata Ichiro personally commanded the two Japanese wings under his jurisdiction, accelerated the momentum of the attack, and urged the headquarters to storm the plank road regardless of all losses.

There is a distance of more than 300 meters from the back of the valley road of Jinlongxia Canyon to the exit of the plank road, and this section of the road has been occupied by the little devils for nearly 200 meters.

The remaining 100 meters, although firmly in the hands of Xiao Yan's headquarters of the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company of the New 1st Regiment, the casualties of the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company were also very large.

"Made, is the little devil taking medicine? Hit so hard! It's like taking the plank road at all costs! Hurry up, report to the battalion commander and ask for two more heavy machine guns to come up for reinforcements!" The battle situation was urgent, and Ichiro Nanata personally supervised the 79th Wing of the War Department, and the Japanese troops of the 80th Wing took the squadron as a tactical group to attack along the plank road regardless of losses, which made Xiao Yan a little surprised.

The guards who were protecting Xiao Yan on the side immediately shouted, "Yes, company commander." Then the cat bent over and ran backwards.

In less than two minutes, two Makqin heavy machine guns were soon dispatched by Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion stationed on the Hongqiao Pass of Yunge, to reinforce the headquarters of Xiao Yan of the Second Company.

"Hit me hard! Fire! Seeing the reinforcements of the two Makqin heavy machine guns, Xiao Yan immediately commanded the heavy machine gun shooters to set up the heavy machine guns, and the left and right flanks fired fiercely at the attacking Japanese troops.

Although the little devil still used the steel shield as a cover, the Japanese machine gun and submachine gun shooters who were hiding behind the steel shield and marching were shot and killed little by little by a dozen snipers of the condescending special combat team.

And as the two Maxim heavy machine guns came up to reinforce them, on the narrow plank road, the two Maxim heavy machine guns condescended to fire with blazing fire, and the Japanese troops in the direct attack were crying and shouting for their mothers, and the screams continued to sound.

Due to the narrow terrain and the plank road, many little devils were killed by the firepower of many new regiments, three battalions and two companies, and some Japanese soldiers fell to the cliff on the side of the plank road after being hit, which frightened some little devil soldiers to run backwards.

It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka used the Supervisory Combat Team, an organization that rarely appeared when the Japanese army attacked, so that the Japanese army at the time of the onslaught did not dare to retreat at all. Otherwise, it will be the sudden end of the overseer team sent by Yoshio Shinozuka.

At this time, Nanata Ichiro personally took the chief of staff of the division, Nakai Shotaro, to the plank road more than 100 meters away, and commanded the Japanese army to attack forward at close range.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the situation is not secondary. Several infantry battalions of the 80th Wing stormed, and all divisions suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to fight, the two infantry wings under our command are estimated to lose more than 4,000 people! Our 20th Division doesn't have many men and horses now, and if we continue to fight, we will have to fight hard! ”

I saw with my own eyes that although the offensive was very fierce, Xiao Yan's headquarters of the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company of the New 1st Regiment stubbornly defended the plank road, and mobilized two Makqin heavy machine guns to block the fire, and the Japanese army in the attack advanced slowly.

As a last resort, the chief of staff of the division, Nakai Shotaro, who was standing next to Nanata Ichiro, said in a low voice.

Why should Ichiro Nanata know the current situation, at this time, he will attack fiercely, although he has the blessing of heavy troops. But the plank road is narrow, and there are not many troops that can be invested at one time, which is best known to Nanata Ichiro.

It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka gave a death order to take the plank road at all costs. Otherwise, you will really have to withdraw your troops temporarily.

And for senior Japanese commanders such as Ichiro Nanada and Yoshio Shinozuka, it was tantamount to a failed attack. Moreover, it was still in the hands of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which they despised.

"There is no way, Your Excellency the Commander has already given a death order. Nakai-kun, you also heard the order of His Excellency the Commander! Execute the order, go on the offensive. After the defeat of all men, Your Excellency the Commander will give priority to replenishing all the losses of our 20th Division this time and before after the war. Nanataichiro waved his hand and said in a condensed voice.

Nakai Shotaro was quite helpless when he saw this, isn't this going to be a war of attrition! Moreover, attacking the opponent's fortified positions under such terrain conditions is simply advancing the lives of Japanese soldiers little by little!

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders! Ay! Shotaro Nakai said with a low sigh.

At this time, Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion of the new regiment standing at the head of Yunge Hongqiao Pass, was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation behind the plank road.

Since the little devil has already captured more than 200 meters of plank road, there are only more than 100 meters left in the last section of the plank road. But under the command of Xiao Yan, the commander of the second company, he stabilized his position and withstood the onslaught of the little devils.

"Damn, this old devil Nanataichiro is taking gun medicine? Attacking so fiercely, don't want the lives of the little devil soldiers under his command? Rubbing, it seems that Yoshio Shinozuka is in a hurry! Report the battle here to the commissar immediately! Ma Wenhai observed for a while, then turned around and waved his hand to the battalion staff officer standing aside.

The shouting staff officer of the third battalion headquarters responded: "Yes, battalion commander! Then he directly reported the situation to Zhao Gang, who was in the headquarters of the new regiment on Hutou Mountain, through the field telephone.

At this time, Zhao Gang was in the regimental headquarters of the new regiment on Hutou Mountain to coordinate and command the defense of all departments, and after receiving a report from the third battalion, he quickly returned the order to continue to defend the plank road.

"Political commissar, regiment commander, they took away the grain, grass and ammunition that the little devils transported to the front line of Hengshan through Pingxingguan. The large amount of food, grass and ammunition that 20,000 little devils needed in the next day or two were blown up by the regiment commander! You see, this is a telegram, commissar! In the new regimental headquarters of Hutou Mountain, Li Yunlong sent someone to Zhao Gang to send an urgent telegram, which was quickly translated, and the communication soldiers of the regiment headquarters quickly translated and reported directly to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang took the telegram handed over by the communication soldier of the regiment headquarters, glanced at it for less than ten seconds, and then clapped his hands and smiled: "Haha, Lao Li, this kid is really awesome!" Good, good, good! Well done! Inform all the soldiers of this news, by the way, immediately call back to the regiment commander and inform Yoshio Shinozuka that he has not withdrawn his troops, and is still continuing to storm the plank road, and our defenders are not continuous. But the plank road is still in our hands, and after suggesting to the regiment commander that they return to the base area, they will raid from behind the army of Yoshio Shinozuka, and we will make an appointment to counterattack at that time, and attack from both sides, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese army commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka! ”。

"Understood, commissar!" After the regimental headquarters signal corps stood up and saluted, they quickly went back to send a report.
