Kagesa hurriedly rushed to the southern front position with two squadrons and entered the trenches, and Kagesa sent the two squadrons forward, and finally beat out the soldiers of the first battalion that had broken through the first trench on the southern front.

However, in the interval of the battle, Kagesa Zhenzhao saw that the Japanese defensive positions on the southern front were wailing everywhere, and his face suddenly became difficult to see.

On the battlefield, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere, and the weapons and equipment that were blown up were scattered!

At this time, the commander of the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Devil's Army, Major General Kanichiro Ueno, was defending the position on the southern front, and the 18th Wing and the 34th Wing of the brigade to which the devil belonged had been completely annihilated by the 1st and 4th Battalions on the south bank.

Therefore, in the hands of Kanichiro Ueno, there are only more than 2,000 people left in the directly subordinate troops of the brigade!

I saw that after Kanichiro Ueno handed over the front-line defensive operation to the brigade chief of staff, Kato Yunhe, he hurried to the front of Kagesa Zhenzhao!

"Report to the general, the enemy forces have temporarily repulsed! Please instruct the general! Kanichiro Ueno paused a little breathlessly.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "How many casualties are the troops under your command at present?" ”。

Seeing Kage Sazhen Zhao asking about this situation, Kanichiro Ueno was a little sad, but he still said loudly: "General, the situation is not optimistic!" The new regiment that crossed the river was 5,000 men! And under the cover of artillery fire, it gradually attacked. The other side has a lot of submachine guns, most of which are Jin-made submachine guns! The firepower at close range is strong, and our Type 38 rifle fights against the new group, and suffers a loss! At the moment, we have already lost a thousand casualties! Checkmate! ”。

After speaking, Kanichiro Ueno took a submachine gun in the hands of the soldiers of the new regiment who died on the position from a devil soldier on the side and handed it to Kagesa Zhenzhao.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao took a look, this is a foreign submachine gun copied by the Jin Suijun, called the Jin submachine gun. The firepower is strong, although the range is only two or three hundred meters, but the short period of strong firepower output can easily suppress the firepower of a small detachment of Japanese troops.

And this was a lot of pressure on the defending Japanese army. So, why did Kagesa Zhenzhao see that the position was full of dead Japanese soldiers, and there were many bullet holes like sieves on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, he knew what the reason was.

"What? A thousand? Looking at the Jinzao submachine gun in his hand, the shadow Zuo Zhenzhao, who had come back to his senses, asked in a condensed voice.

"Hai, more than a thousand casualties. At present, there are only more than 1,000 troops left in the hands of the lowly officials, and if you add the strength of the last squadron in the hands of our division commander, there are less than 1,200 people! Kanichiro Ueno pointed to the temporary location of the 3rd Division headquarters and said with a wry smile.

Without waiting for Kage Sasa to continue questioning, suddenly Kanichiro Ueno grabbed Kage Satsuaki and hid in the air-raid shelter under the trench.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!"

Soon, in less than seven seconds, a piercing whistling sound struck, followed by bursts of violent explosions that rang out everywhere on the devil's position.

The screams came like a shadow, and the two devils, Kanichiro Ueno and Zhenaki Kagesa, were huddled in an air-raid shelter, and the dust on them was shaken and fell.

What's more, at this time, there was already some water in the trench because of the continuous rain.

After the two old devils huddled in the bomb shelter and endured for less than a minute, the violent and continuous explosion finally weakened. Home

"Hurry up, get into a combat position, counterattack, counterattack!"

Kanichiro Ueno waited until the explosion weakened, and immediately crawled out of the bomb shelter, not caring about Akira Kagesa.

When the old devil lay on the edge of the trench and saw a new group of soldiers with submachine guns and rifles on the opposite side, under the cover of the fierce strafing of light and heavy machine guns, the cat scattered and attacked and advanced, Ueno Kanichiro roared and ordered the devil soldiers around him.

In fact, there was no need for Kanichiro Ueno to shout orders, the devil soldiers who were already familiar with the attack steps of the new regiment clenched the Type 38 rifles in their hands one by one and aimed towards the opposite side of the trench!

"Kill, kill! Block the new one, drip! ”

As the katana in Kanichiro Ueno's hand pressed forward fiercely, the surrounding devil soldiers got the order and immediately opened fire to fight back.

The soldiers of the new regiment attacked, under the command of Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie, and under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, attacked the Japanese position.

Since Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire had knocked out most of the machine-gun fire points in the devil's position, all Ueno Kanichiro could only command all the devil soldiers to rely on the trenches and block the attack to the death.

It's just that the battle situation is not optimistic, although it has been reinforced by two Japanese squadrons brought by Kagesa Zhenzhao himself. However, it is still a drop in the bucket!

"Ueno, you command the troops, resist, I will immediately ask His Excellency the General for the next operational instructions!" Seeing that although the two Japanese squadrons brought in joined the blocking battle, in the front-line battle, a large number of heavy weapons of the Japanese army were exhausted, and it still made Kage Zuo Zhenzhao see with his own eyes that the Japanese soldiers were afraid that they could not withstand the fierce offensive of the first and fourth battalions and the 1,000 reserves taken out by Li Yunlong, totaling more than 5,000 soldiers of the new regiment.

I'm afraid that the loss of the position on the southern front may happen within half an hour, and Kagesa Zhenzhao must go back to discuss with Matsui Ishine to break through!

Kanichiro Ueno also realized what Kagesa Zhenzhao meant, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Hai, please rest assured, General!" But general, the defensive positions on the southern front can only hold out for about half an hour, and no more, I'm afraid it won't work! ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao nodded, not speaking, but left in a hurry.

Kanichiro Ueno looked at the back of Akira Sazhen leaving in a hurry, and could only sigh and continue to command the Japanese troops at the post to block the attack.

Kagesa Zhenzhao, who came back from walking, ran directly into the hidden bunker where Matsui Shigen was, and when he saw Matsui Shigen's brows furrowed, he couldn't care much more, "Your Excellency, the situation on the southern front is not optimistic, and the troops on the southern front have suffered heavy casualties, and there are only less than 1,500 imperial troops left!" Kanichiro Ueno reported to me that they were only able to hold out for half an hour at most! In half an hour or so, I'm afraid the southern front will be lost! ”

"Ying Zuojun, do you mean to break through and retreat north?" Matsui Ishine said, but the palm was already gathering anger!

Kagezo Zhenzhao had actually seen Matsui Ishone's unwillingness, but he still smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, the 3rd Division can't be wiped out!" Withdraw! We can't wait for the possibility of two imperial brigades arriving in Wei County! If it is not withdrawn, the empire will lose a general for the first time! And this, is a disgrace to the Empire!".

Seeing that Kagesa Shoji had said this, Matsui Ishine sat on a stool in the bunker headquarters a little dejectedly and was silent for a long time.

It's just that the gunfire around the outside is gradually approaching, and the Japanese troops in the east and west flanks also send heralds to report to the general headquarters from time to time, and they can't stand it!

In other words, Matsui knew that the situation around him had deteriorated. If he didn't make a decision, he Matsui Ishone, Kagesa Zhenaki and other high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, as well as the last few thousand people of the 3rd Division, would be completely wiped out here.
