Inspired by Yang Chen, the regimental seat, the soldiers all cheered up, mustered up courage, and fired one after another.

The Japanese army regarded this attack as a decisive battle, and what about the Tiger Regiment?

Therefore, the artillery group of the reconnaissance battalion also joined the battle this time, and twenty or thirty infantry guns and mortars opened fire one after another.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom! ——”

One shell after another, it swept past the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment and landed into the devil's attacking force from the sky, blowing up the dense devil army with dead and wounded pillows and screams.

The Japanese side also showed no weakness, and fired back almost at the same time.

Intense firepower is back in full swing!

Although there were a large number of devils, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment were determined to die and burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

This battle lasted for more than three hours, and the two sides fought from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 5 o'clock in the evening, and the fierce battle continued.

The devil's infantry wing has all been wiped out, and the corpses are lying everywhere in front of the trenches of the Tiger Regiment.

Of course, the casualties on the side of the Tiger Ben Regiment were also extremely heavy.

At this time, there were only the last 300 people left under Yang Chen, and the trenches were also full of the remains of his own soldiers.

The blood shed by the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and the enemy almost dyed the entire Sunset Ridge red, and it looked particularly mad under the reflection of the remnant sun.

However, before Yang Chen and the soldiers could catch their breath, there was a large number of Japanese troops under black pressure, roaring and rushing in.

Yang Chen took a look, and the devil who came was at least an infantry wing, or even more.

He glanced back at the last remaining 300 or so men around him.

Xu Hailang, Sun Cheng and others, almost half of the soldiers had injuries of varying degrees.

Facing Yang Chen's gaze, Xu Hailang and Sun Cheng couldn't help but subconsciously straighten their chests.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yang Chen's embarrassed face, and he asked, "Brothers, I'm afraid the last moment is coming, are you afraid?" ”

"If you can fight side by side with the regiment, why are you afraid of dying?" Xu Hailang responded awe-inspiringly.

Sun Cheng also nodded and agreed: "That's right, if you can kill devils with Tuanzao, that's a pleasure!" Even if you die, you are not afraid! Are the brethren right? ”

"That's right! I am willing to fight to the death with the group! ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!" More than 300 officers and men all raised their guns in unison, and the roar shook the sky.

Even the roar of the thousands of devil soldiers under the mountain seemed a little overshadowed.

Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, worthy of my Yang Chen's soldiers!" All of them, get on the bayonet, and we'll have another battle with the little devil! ”

…………

The other side.

As early as Yang Chen retreated to Sunset Ridge with the Tiger Ben Regiment, he gave the special operations team and other units time and space to break through.

Liu Zheping, Xu Ming, Li Da and others, who were fighting guerrillas in the area of Hongze Lake, learned the news.

After discussion, each led eight or nine hundred men to carry out a sabotage operation on the Japanese-occupied areas; wants to use this to contain the Japanese army and relieve some pressure on Yang Chen and them.

Wang Gui, Chen Ming and others, in accordance with Yang Chen's previous arrangement, came to Linhe Village all the way without danger, and joined the underground party who had rushed here in advance to cooperate with their actions.

Since it was daytime, I was worried about being discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane.

They all chose to rest on the spot, wait for dark and then wait for the opportunity to cross the river to the north.

The devils on the Eastern Front, because the main forces were all transferred back to the Western Front to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Tiger Ben Regiment, there were not many troops left.

At first glance, the strength of the two wings was much more than Liu Zheping and Xu Ming's two or three thousand men.

However, the devils were responsible for guarding several county towns and several important villages and towns below, and their forces were greatly dispersed.

In this way, on the local battlefield, the sabotage troops led by Liu Zheping, Xu Ming, and Li Da still occupied an advantage in troops.

In addition, each sabotage unit is led by at least two super commanders with strong command ability and individual combat ability, and the sabotage battle is naturally invincible.

In just one day, they eliminated seven or eight strongholds of devils and annihilated more than 2,000 devils and puppet troops.

Completely tore the blockade line built by the devils in the areas of Jinhu, Xuyi, Tianchang and Mingguang.

The anti-Japanese situation in the Hongze Lake area was greatly improved, and when the main force of the devils heard the news, the three of them led the army to withdraw to the temporary base on the shore of Hongze Lake.

Prepare to strike again at the right time to completely crush the devil's defense in Hongze Lake.

In fact, the three of them also received orders from Yang Chen, the head of the group, to let them choose the opportunity to go to Shanxi and join the main force of the regiment.

It's just that as a diversion force, they naturally have to wait until the main force of the regiment is safe before they can choose the opportunity to evacuate.

Because the devils are all focused on the Western Front, the situation on their side is quite relaxed.

…………

The picture pulls back to Sun Ridge.

With the order of Yang Chen, the last 300 or so soldiers all silently drew their bayonets and loaded them on the rifles in their hands.

There were also some fierce warriors who directly drew their sabers.

The few remaining heavy and light machine gunners pulled down the bolt and continued to aim, and after running out of bullets, they would rush forward with the rest of the infantry and engage the enemy in a hand-to-hand battle.

Sun Cheng's left arm, in the course of the fierce battle with the devil just now, was slashed by a devil officer with a saber.

The conditions were limited, so the only way to stop the bleeding was to simply bandage it with gauze, which had been almost penetrated by blood and turned blood red.

But he turned a blind eye, sat on top of an ammunition box in the trench with a solemn face, and reloaded his pistol magazine very calmly.

Yang Chen walked up to him and asked with concern, "Sun Cheng, why didn't you tell me when you kid was injured?"

I also have a special gold sore medicine here. ”

As he spoke, Yang Chen took out some special gold sore medicine and gauze from his pocket.

Sun Cheng looked at the more seriously injured brother next to him, waved his right hand, and said, "Tuanzao, there are brothers here who are more seriously injured than me, so let's leave the medicine to them." ”

This iron-clad seven-foot man didn't snort even a few times when he was stabbed with the devil.

At this time, when he heard the words of the battalion commander Sun Cheng, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Moved, follow such a chief, worth!

Even if you die, you have no regrets!

He endured the severe pain on his body, stood up, and categorically rejected the proposal of the battalion commander Sun Cheng, and said with tears of emotion in his eyes: "Battalion commander, as the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, and you should keep this medicine for yourself."

It's enough for us to have your words!

Join the Tiger Ben Regiment, follow you and the group to fight the devil, I have no regrets! ”

"What nonsense, this is an order!"

Sun Cheng frowned and said with a serious face.

"Rake the ears, go and bandage this brother's wounds."

Yang Chen knew Sun Cheng's character, and since he had spoken, it was almost impossible for him to change his mind.
