When the devil's vanguard entered the minefield, a veteran demolition company commander turned grim, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately ordered: "Detonate!"

The soldiers rang the fuse in their hands one after another, and the next moment, explosions broke out on the official road, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom——"

The deafening explosion shook all over the wilderness, and the five devil tanks were hit by the powerful shock wave one after another, lying on the spot, and the devil infantry who followed them also suffered and fell to the ground in pieces with a miserable howl.

Before the sound of the explosion had dissipated, the infantry of the 61st Army who were lying in ambush on both sides of the official road also stood up from behind their bunkers, set up light and heavy machine guns, and fired all kinds of weapons one after another.

intertwined with each other, forming a dense network of firepower, and hit the devil soldiers in the center of the official road.

The ghost soldiers who were caught off guard fell in large numbers when they landed.

Before they could react, nearly half of them were killed or wounded.

The sudden explosion startled the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the 40th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander Major General Yamashita Fumi, and other devils who were not far behind.

Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly grabbed the reins of the mount, controlled the somewhat frightened war horse, and asked with an unkind face: "Baga! What's going on?"

At this moment, explosions exploded in front of him, and scarlet and dazzling fires continued to rise into the sky, even overshadowing the sun's rays.

From afar, you can see it clearly, which is terrifying.

Not long after, a low-ranking officer of the devil hurriedly returned from the front, and said to the national mountain: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, something is wrong!" There was an ambush of the Chinese defenders ahead, and we were ambushed!"

"Baga Ya Road! How can there be an ambush of Chinese defenders here?" Yamashita Fengwen was taken aback, and when he looked around, several combat staff officers around him also looked confused.

After a moment of thought, Yamashita continued: "Have you figured out the number of the enemy army? ”

"61st Army!"

"61st Army?"

Suddenly, Yamashita Fengwen seemed to understand something, his face sank, and he muttered: "This 61st Army, just yesterday in the South Huaihua area, completely annihilated our 39th Infantry Brigade, calculate the time, if the battle is over, retreat immediately."

Indeed, they should have arrived at Xinkou before us, and it was because they discovered us that they set up an ambush here. ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to intelligence, the reason why the 61st Army was able to completely annihilate our 39th Infantry Brigade in the South Huaihua area was completely aided by the Tiger Regiment.

If the 61st Army appears here, isn't it ......"

The combat staff officer next to him seemed to think of a possibility, and his voice suddenly stopped.

"Hmm!"

Yamashita Fengwen nodded approvingly, and continued: "Indeed, if the 61st Army appears here, the reinforcements of the Tiger Ben Regiment will inevitably arrive at Xinkou before us. ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should we do now?"

"Even if the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment are ahead of us, they will definitely not be too fast, so this ambush circle in front must be the product of haste.

Moreover, the base camp of the Tiger Ben Regiment has been surrounded by the vanguard units of our Imperial Japanese Army, and the situation is precarious.

Therefore, it is very likely that the reinforcements of this tiger regiment have rushed back to Xinkou.

And the only one responsible for blocking us should be the 61st Army. ”

Saying this, Yamashita Fengwen suddenly stared, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "Besides, even if the Tiger Ben Regiment blocks our way, so what?

The goal of our Imperial Japanese Army was to annex all of China and even Asia.

In this case, the Tiger Ben Regiment is a hurdle that can never be bypassed.

Warriors of the Empire, prepare for battle! ”

Yamashita turned over and dismounted, surrounded by a group of officers and guards, and climbed to a hillside high point not far from the roadside.

After some observation, a deployment was immediately made, "the artillery units will be immediately deployed, and tanks and armored vehicles will all be put into battle to cover the infantry to attack!"

Now that the reinforcements of the Tiger Ben Regiment have returned to Xinkou, the vanguard troops in front are afraid that they will be attacked by the Tiger Ben Regiment, and the current situation is extremely unfavorable for them!

The order is that all the officers and men of the imperial army must go all out, attack at all costs, and be sure to fight a bloody way out of the enemy's blockade!

No one is allowed to stop the attack and retreat without my orders! Violators of the order will be dealt with by military law on the spot!"

Under the command and strict orders of the brigade commander Yamashita Fufumi, more than 2,000 devil soldiers quickly took action on their own.

Yamashita Fengfumi put more than 1,000 main infantry on the main road of the official road, and under the cover of 8 tanks and 5 armored vehicles, as well as artillery, launched a fierce attack on the headquarters of the 61st Army.

The other more than 1,000 devil infantry made a detour to the two flanks, trying to outflank left and right, and crushing the main force of the 61st Army in one fell swoop!

The fierce battle begins!

Under the instruction of Chen Changjie, Wang Sitian commanded the troops to resist with all their might relying on the terrain.

The high points on the left and right flanks had been occupied by the 61st Army in advance, and a large amount of machine-gun fire was deployed.

Therefore, after the continuous attack was unfavorable, the Japanese army gave up the roundabout outflanking and directly concentrated its forces to launch a fierce attack from the front.

The official road position suddenly became the main battlefield for the two sides.

Four more tanks rushed into the minefield, and were successively blown up by Wang Sitian's demomen, and the devil's attack was frustrated, and the battle was in a state of stalemate for a while.

However, this also greatly angered the competitive devil troops!

Thousands of devil soldiers rushed in turn at the cost of casualties, and the remaining few tanks and armored vehicles also desperately advanced with cover.

The devil's tank guns fired from time to time, which posed a great threat to Wang Sitian's department, and this kind of direct-aim artillery, with one shot, could bombard a light and heavy machine-gun fire point of the 61st Army's blocking force.

It was also thanks to the victory in the First Battle of Nanhuaihua, and the 61st Army captured a large number of light and heavy machine guns from the Japanese army.

Otherwise, under such a fierce offensive of the Japanese army, it would have been impossible to hold on for a long time.

Seeing that his light and heavy machine gun fire was gradually suppressed, the devil was almost about to rush in.

Wang Sitian's face sank like water, and he shouted awe-inspiringly: "Company Commander Zhao, let me find a way to blow up the little devil's dog's tank!"

"Yes!"

The commander of the guard company beside Wang Sitian immediately agreed.

Personally took a few fighters, carried explosives bags, braved the dense fire of the devils, and rushed out of the position bunker with a waist down.

The bombs in the minefield have all been detonated, and now they can only use this most primitive method to kill the devil tank!

The captain and company commander took a total of 15 fighters, and 3 of them were unfortunately hit by a stray bullet as soon as they rushed out of the two steps, and they fell to the ground immediately.

Without hesitation, the companions who followed them picked up the explosives bags they had left behind, and continued to rush after the captain.
