The 59th Army is an iron-clad army, this army has a general who shares weal and woe, a general who takes the lead, and a firm belief in defending the country.

As a battalion of the 38th Division of the 59th Army, the battalion commander stationed in Taoyuan Town decided to gather the scattered troops around the city and block the Japanese army alone in Taoyuan Town, so as to buy time for the main force in the rear.

The faith of defending his family and country gave him will, and more than 90,000 grenades gave him confidence.

"Battalion commander, now we have a total of three hundred"

At noon, the battalion commander, who was eating canned beef mixed with white noodles, listened to the report and nodded with satisfaction.

After gathering the remnants of the two battalions around him, his troops reached 300 men, which he organized into three companies, each with 70 men, stationed on three sides, and the other 90 men divided into two platoons as reserves.

"Are all the mines planted?"

The wooden handle grenade removes the wooden handle, binds the nine together, and with the fuse, it is a powerful mine, which is an excellent weapon for defense.

"All have been buried, and a total of more than 100 bundles of mines have been laid in front of the three lines of defense"

"Good" battalion commander was satisfied with the word bundle.

······

"Nani?"

"Come on, the goat and the second jade are broken? Taoyuan Town lost? ”

On the north side of Linyi City, Shibu Town, the headquarters of a brigade of the Japanese Sakamoto detachment is located. The captain grabbed the scout in front of him and confirmed the inquiry in a fierce tone.

"How is this possible?"

The captain couldn't believe the news.

Just yesterday, the leader of his second squadron came to Goat 2 to report that the defenders of Taoyuan Town had suffered heavy casualties and that they would be able to completely capture and destroy the defenders on a certain day, and the report also pointed out that the Laishan squadron itself suffered few casualties.

Just now, he received news not long ago that the 1st and 3rd squadrons had routed the defenders of the Republic of China on both sides of Taoyuan Town. That is, Taoyuan Town has been surrounded by him.

Because there was no information about the incoming mountain squadron until noon, he sent several reconnaissance and communication soldiers to find out the news.

And the news that this inquiry came back was really difficult for him to accept.

Why was Taoyuan Town suddenly lost, and his squadron was wiped out, and even the squadron leader was shattered?

To completely annihilate one of his squadrons, at least one main regiment of the Republic of China is needed, and it will take at least one time to divide it, but now, it is less than twenty hours before the good news of the victory reported by Goat II yesterday.

Besides, how could the enemy have a regiment that allowed itself to occupy both flanks of Taoyuan Town?

The captain was puzzled.

Unless, the information reported by Goat II yesterday is false.

At that moment, another scout brought back two things to dispel the captain's doubts.

Come Goat II's katana and his captain's badge.

Looking at the two things in front of him, the captain was stunned, and had to put down the collar of the scout in his hand, and then silently looked at the two items in front of him, the collar badge and the command knife, which are things that the commander must carry with him.

"What the hell is going on?"

The captain vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and after a moment of silent thought, he then gave a new order.

"The 1st and 3rd squadrons moved closer to Taoyuan Town, and the 4th Squadron Artillery Brigade and the baggage team marched forward with the brigade headquarters."

The order of the detachment leader was to continue the attack, no matter what happened in Taoyuan Town, he had to take a look, and if the situation allowed, if there were no enemy Rao several main regiments there, then he would take advantage of the situation to take Taoyuan Town.

······

"Attack, attack"

Outside Taoyuan Town, the Japanese captain's katana was raised high, and the blade was pointed at the defenders' positions inside the town.

After several tentative attacks and reconnaissance, he had figured out the situation of the troops in the town, Taoyuan Town only had more than 300 defenders, and there was a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition. And his brigade currently has more than 600 people. The ratio of forces between the two sides was two to one. So he didn't hesitate to attack.

A group of soldiers, under the direct command of the Japanese captain, launched an attack on Taoyuan Town, and dozens of devils separated in a scattered line and gradually touched Taoyuan Town.

Bang Bang Bang ·

Soon after, the devil team attacked to a distance of three hundred meters, and the gunfire suddenly rang out intensively, from time to time there were devils half-squatting to shoot and cover, and some devils bent down all the way and quickly touched forward, while the gunfire on the opposite position was pitiful, only occasionally a few bullets were fired from the corner, but they were quickly suppressed by the devils.

In the attacking team of the devils, the group armed with grenadiers is staring at the position in front of them, and as long as there is any point of machine-gun fire, they will destroy it as soon as possible.

Offense · · Offense...

By the order of the captain, the attacking team had already reached one hundred and fifty meters in front of the position.

Boom Boom...

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and more than a dozen violent explosion waves appeared around the devils, although the attacking devils strictly presented a skirmish line, and the distance between them was very large, but the explosion was too violent, comparable to the power of the mountain artillery, and several devils who were close to the explosion point died on the spot, and the rest of the devils immediately fell down the moment they heard the explosion.

Seeing the explosion in the rear of "Baga", the captain scolded angrily, but still did not give the order to retreat, although the power of the explosion was great, it could not make him stop the attack.

After more than half a minute, the smoke cleared, and the lying devils stood up one after another, and after a brief count of casualties, the captain of the devils found that five soldiers were killed on the spot in the round of explosion just now, and the other five were injured, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries and did not affect the continuation of the battle.

"Offense, Heart Mine"

The devil team suddenly became vigilant, and became more and more attentive when attacking.

But the counterattack on the opposite side of the position has been deserted still gave him confidence, now the distance is about one hundred and fifty meters, this distance is the best shooting distance for machine guns, in the past battles, the Republic of China army generally came to start machine gun shooting outside this distance, and the current situation makes him think that there are not many weapons and ammunition on the opposite side. So instead of using a machine gun to fight back, it was intended to shoot at a closer range to save bullets.

Baga · · The captain snorted coldly and ordered the troops to continue to disperse, and the soldiers continued to attack with a distance of several meters between them.

"Company commander, don't you shoot yet?"

In the position, a machine gunner put his finger on the trigger, and his tone was hungry and thirsty.

"Turn off the insurance, the devil pulls it so open, you can kill a devil at most if you go down with this shuttle, and when the devil gets close, you can directly greet him with a grenade"

Hearing this, the machine gunner immediately turned off the safety of the machine gun, and then put the machine gun away, and at the same time touched the ten grenades on his position, and a mouthful of large white teeth were exposed.

"Holo"
