"Eight grid tooth road, order all troops to resist! Kill! Masuda Kentai gritted his teeth and roared.

"Hai, Your Excellency Dazuo!"

The devil's staff officer left urgently, while Masuda Kentai hurriedly got up, lay on the sandbags built around the temporary headquarters, and took a telescope to observe the railway bridge over the Kouquan River.

At this time, on the railway bridge of the Kouquan River, the two battalions of the independent brigade that took the lead in attacking the forefront were Zhang Dabiao's regiment.

The two battalions that attacked at the forefront were the two main battalions of Zhang Dabiao's regiment that were most capable of fighting and were best at night operations and attacking fortified positions.

In order to maintain the intensity of firepower in front of the attack on the Japanese position, Zhang Dabiao assigned all the light and heavy machine guns in the headquarters of the first regiment, especially the submachine guns suitable for charging and close combat, including the submachine guns of the captured Japanese army, as well as the Jin-made submachine guns manufactured by the Jin Sui Army, and other advantageous melee fast 5,000 to belong to the two battalions attacking the fortifications.

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom Boom !! ”

The Japanese army's defensive position on the north bank of the Kouquan River Railway Bridge, especially the position at the north bank of the railway bridge in the main position, was hit by fierce artillery fire from Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion.

Shells fired from the artillery positions of the Independent Brigade on the south bank whistled in the dark night sky, accompanied by a misty drizzle. Streamers of light smashed violently at the Japanese positions on the north bank, and a few seconds later, the Japanese positions on the north bank were covered in artillery fire everywhere.

Countless shells attacked, and after the artillery unit of the 313th Wing of the Devil was disabled, the defensive blocking force of the Japanese army on the north bank suddenly encountered heavy artillery fire from the artillery of the independent brigade.

In the rumbling of the cannons, the devils on the north shore were blown up and couldn't lift their heads. At this time, the attack force of the independent brigade, which was coordinated by infantry and artillery, had already reached a defensive position less than 100 meters away from the position at the mouth of the bridge on the north bank.

At this time, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing commanded by Masuda Kentai was responsible for the defense and blocking of the bridge mouth on the north bank of the Kouquan River Railway Bridge. The depth of its defense went north along the railway bridge for a full 300 meters, of which the main force was blocked at the bridge mouth on the north bank and went north along the railway for more than 300 meters.

The shelling of the independent brigade bombed this devil crying dad and calling his mother.

"Report to the captain, the enemy infantry has rushed to a hundred meters! You see! At this time, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing, Matsuda Hiroshi Shaosa, held a katana and personally lay behind the infantry fortifications built with sacks and sandbags.

Matsuda Hiroshi didn't expect that the Independent Brigade would be able to coordinate with infantry and artillery at night, and its infantry stepped on the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade to come up, which was simply impossible to fight.

However, the artillery brigade belonging to the 313th Wing has been suppressed by the artillery battalion of Wang Chengzhu of the Independent Brigade, and according to the latest rear news just obtained, most of the artillery brigade belonging to the wing has been destroyed by the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade, and only three of the artillery pieces have survived in time.

And this remnant artillery, I'm afraid there is no way to support them.

Sure enough, the Independent Brigade quickly pressed most of its artillery fire on their 2nd Infantry Brigade, so that Matsuda Hiroshi, who was still a little confident at the beginning of the battle, had no defense and blocking fortifications built by the devil soldiers who personally commanded the brigade.

But at this time, there is no way to retreat, not to mention the death order of Masuda Kentai.

"For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Empire, stop me and kill me! Hit hard! ”

Seeing that the first regiment of the Independent Brigade had rushed to the front of the two battalions was already less than 50 meters, Matsuda Hiroshi, who still had a lot of experience in combat command, could not stand it, and hurriedly brandished his katana and commanded the Japanese troops at the post to launch a counterattack.

All of a sudden, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 313th Devil Wing was under the order of Captain Matsuda Hiroshi Shaosa, and all the hidden devil soldiers immediately launched a fire blockade.

"Dada, dada!!!"

"Boom, boom!!!"

...............

The devil soldiers of the Matsuda Brigade braved the artillery bombardment of the Independent Brigade together, stubbornly lying behind the fortifications, and using rifles, grenadiers and grenades at close range to fiercely counterattack the fighters of the two battalions of Zhang Dabiao's main attack at the front.

Suddenly, more than 50 meters at the mouth of the north bank of the huge Kouquan River Railway Bridge, fires splashed everywhere. The shells, bullets, and steel plates on the railway bridge collided with each other in the air!

"Kill, kill, resist, resist!" Matsuda Hiroshi brandished a katana, his eyes were blood-red, in the night, the old devil was also desperate, in the face of such a fierce attack by two battalions of the first regiment of the independent brigade, the old devil had already run to the front of the first defensive position, personally supervising the Japanese army to defend to the death.

Although Matsuda Hiroshi struggled to command the Japanese counterattack, he faced a close imminent attack from the two battalions of Zhang Dabiao's division, which were also able to coordinate infantry and artillery tactics at night. The 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 313th Wing of the Japanese Army was quickly beaten with heavy casualties, and a precarious situation had emerged.

Observing the fierce battle, Masuda Kentai was lying behind the sack fortifications of the 313th Wing in the rear of the north bank at this time, looking at the position of the bridge entrance with the telescope in his hand, and was worried.

"Ba Ge Ya Road, the independent brigade is so skilled in playing with infantry and artillery! It's troublesome this time! Masuda Kenyasu saw through the binoculars that the attack of the Independent Brigade had engaged the Japanese troops in close quarters with the defensive position of his 2nd Infantry Brigade at the mouth of the bridge on the north bank of the Kuchizumi River Railway Bridge.

Masuda Kentai clearly saw that the melee fire of the attacking soldiers of the Independent Brigade was very fierce, most of them were machine guns and submachine guns. The Japanese infantry had Type 38 rifles in their hands, and although they had machine gun fire, they were quickly torn apart by the artillery fire of the independent brigade, and there were not many of them.

Although a machine gun squadron was deployed at the north bank of the bridge, the firepower of twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns was enough to block the railway bridge. However, under the artillery fire of the independent brigade, this machine gun squadron has suffered all casualties, and there is not even a single Type 92 heavy machine gun.

"Damn!" Kentai Masuda angrily punched the sack in front of him.

At this time, the devil soldier who sent the troops to run with a cat's waist and body hurriedly said: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, Matsuda Shaoza urgently report, the independent brigade is attacking rapidly, and it has started a fierce battle with the warriors of the imperial army in the front-line defensive position of the 2nd Brigade." The other side has already rushed over and asked for reinforcements from the machine gun squadron of the wing! Otherwise, you won't be able to hold the bridge! ”。

"Eight Tooth Road! Rubbish! Masuda Kentai scolded, but at this time, the battle was fierce, and it was impossible to remove Matsuda Hiroshi.

At this time, Masuda Kentai also had a machine gun squadron in his hands, but it belonged to the 3rd Infantry Brigade. However, at this time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade was defending both sides, and the machine gun squadron was temporarily under the control of Masuda Kentai.

The position at the bridgehead on the north bank must be lost, otherwise it will be troublesome for most of the troops of the Independent Brigade to attack along both sides of the bridgehead in a roundabout way and block the main force of their army.
