The arrival of the army commander Chen Changjie greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men under his command, making them feel as if they had inexhaustible strength.

Under their courageous fighting, Yoshito Takagi, the commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, was forced to stop the attack again because of his heavy casualties.

The officers and men of the 61st Army did not take the opportunity to cover up the killing, but decisively retreated into the position after the little devils retreated.

Sure enough, not long after they jumped into the trenches, the machine guns above the devil's position spewed out angry tongues of fire.

Immediately afterward, a flood of bullets came at them head-on.

“biubiubiu！ ——”

Many bullets hit the bunker sandbags in front of the defenders' positions, or on the rocks and dirt walls of the mountains, splashing clouds of smoke and dust, and also splashing pieces of gravel and dirt to wreak havoc.

"Baga Ya Road! Have you found out the number of these damned enemy troops? When did the Chinese soldiers become so fearless to death? ”

Takagi Yoshito originally thought that he would be able to easily win the merit of breaking the enemy by taking over the command, but he never thought that the command would be taken over, but he did not win the merit of breaking the enemy, and he also trapped the 39th Infantry Brigade under his command.

In just two or three hours of attack, the loss of more than one infantry brigade was lost.

You know, there are only four infantry brigades under his command, and he has lost one at once, how can he not make him angry and heartbroken?

A communications staff officer ran over in a hurry, and just happened to hear the roar of Yoshito Takagi, so he straightened up and responded with some trepidation: "Report to Your Excellency Brigade Commander, according to reliable information, the enemy army in front is the 61st Army of China's Second Theater of Operations. ”

"The 61st Army?"

Yoshito Takagi seemed to feel a little familiar, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is it the 61st Army that guarded Tianzhen and Yanggao before and was easily defeated by the Fifth Division?" ”

"Haya!"

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

It's good that Yoshito Takagi didn't listen, but when he heard it, he was furious.

When the Fifth Division attacked Shanxi, it easily defeated the 61st Army, but now he was blocked by the 61st Army, and even lost his troops.

Doesn't this mean that his 20th Division is inferior to the 5th Division?

Yoshito Takagi suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask, "When will my artillery brigade be able to get here?" ”

"We will be here in an hour at the latest, and besides, Your Excellency the Division Commander has already made contact with the aviation forces and enlisted their support.

It is expected that it will not be long before we arrive here. ”

"Yo Si! Then let these damn Chinese soldiers be arrogant for a while. ”

……

At that time, Hao Mengling had already led the 54th Division and the 5th Independent Brigade to the South Huaihua area.

After thinking about it, Hao Mengling did not wave his army to the main position of the 61st Army in Nanhuaihua, but sent troops to reconnoiter the enemy situation, and found that the Japanese army did not know whether it was out of self-confidence or carelessness, in addition to the frontal deployment of heavy troops, the defense of the left and right flanks was extremely lax, and it seemed that they were not afraid that the defenders would attack them, so they immediately decided to attack and defend.

Under the personal leadership of Hao Mengling, the 54th Division and the 5th Independent Brigade attacked from Gongjiazhuang to the enemy flank in Huaihua in the south.

Due to the lax defense of the little devils, there were only some scouts on the edge of the position, and they easily captured the old Hebei, and continued to move forward, occupying the northern bank of the river at the northern end of Nanhuaihua after half an hour.

When Yoshito Takagi suddenly received the news, he was furious and immediately ordered Kobayashi Hengichi to lead his 78th Infantry Wing to stop the attack.

coincided with the timely arrival of the artillery brigade, so two artillery squadrons were assigned to go together to launch a counterattack on Hao Mengling's headquarters.

Hao Mengling was also not afraid at all, and decisively led his troops to fight bravely against the invading enemy.

The enemy and us will start a bloody battle, not giving up an inch of land, and every inch of land will be fought!

The Japanese army won in the field artillery with stronger firepower and excellent individual quality, while Hao Mengling's unit won in a way of fighting in which there were many people and insufficient combat effectiveness, and human lives were used to make up the battle.

Once the two sides exchanged fire, it was extremely fierce!

On the other side, in order to reduce the pressure on Hao Mengling's flank, the 61st Army also led the army to attack from the front at this time.

Yoshito Takagi was overwhelmed by the two-way attack of our army, and as a last resort, he sent the infantry detachment as a reserve force.

The two armies did not belong to the same battle sequence, and there was no subordinate relationship, and they were extremely unhappy with Takagi's previous arrogant attitude.

In my heart, the captain of the Dazuo detachment was unwilling to lead the army into battle.

But at this time, he did not dare to disobey the orders of Yoshito Takagi too much, especially when this battle was about the glory and interests of the empire.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and just when the two sides were fighting hard to distinguish the winner, a roar of aircraft engines tearing through the air suddenly came from the northeast sky.

Immediately afterward, dozens of warplanes pierced through the clouds and swooped towards the position where the two armies exchanged fire.

Because the devil air force received information in advance that these enemy troops did not have antiaircraft machine guns, antiaircraft guns, and other strategic equipment, they were extremely emboldened and pressed their flight altitude to less than 200 meters, and some even less than 100 meters.

After entering the attack area, they launched a frantic attack on the defenders' positions without hesitation.

As if they didn't want money, the aerial bombs kept falling from under the belly of the bomber in a free-fall manner, like a meteor falling to the ground, towards the defenders' positions.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

As a dazzling red light rose into the sky, the defenders' positions turned into a sea of flames, a forbidden area of death.

Countless plants and trees were broken, and rocks were scattered.

Gravel and dirt flew through the blast with a huge shock wave.

The place where the enemy and the enemy are fighting is a wild place, and there are no fortifications to hide from except for some terrain that can be exploited.

Therefore, as the air force of the little devils began to attack, there were a large number of casualties on the board.

In particular, some shells fell on the side of the defenders, blowing up many soldiers directly, spilling blood on the spot, and the appearance was not too tragic.

This time, the Devil's Air Force dispatched dozens of fighters, and in addition to bombers, there were also quite a few fighters.

As soon as these fighters came into range, the aviation did not hesitate to press the button to open fire.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

In an instant, the on-board machine gun began to run at a rapid pace.

Rows of bullets, dense as a barrage, hit the ground, adding countless bloodshed to the already terrible defenders' positions.

"Little devil, I call you grandma!"

Some of the officers and men of the defenders were not worried about being slaughtered by the devil air force, but got up with angry faces and raised their guns to shoot back.

As a result, the body was either pierced by the devil's on-board machine gun, or the body was scratched by the fragmented shrapnel flying sideways, and the body was full of holes.

Instead of knocking down the devil's fighter, it only increased casualties.
