"Commander, calm down first."

Sun Yuanliang prepared to rescue the rest of the second battalion, and Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting said: "The Japanese army must have deployed strong firepower on various key roads this time. They are now besieging but not attacking, just hoping that we will go to the rescue of the second battalion! ”

Now that the forces of the two sides are equal, no one can afford to spend extra troops, and the victory or defeat is just a thought.

The 88th Division occupied the geographical advantage, and the Japanese occupied Tianshi, and they had absolute air supremacy.

Sun Yuanliang patted the case and said: "I can't give up my brother!" We must find a way to rescue the rest of the second battalion! ”

Although Sun Yuanliang was loud, he did not have full confidence. Not only the Japanese army, but also the strength of the 88th Division has reached its limit.

At this time, Wu Qiujian's 523rd Regiment of the Sanyili Defense Line fell into a bitter battle with the Japanese army; Zhu Chi's 528th Regiment is resting because it lost its combat effectiveness in the previous battle; Liao Qilin's 527 Regiment has just been replenished, and they are the key to this battle, and they can't be dispatched casually.

Sun Yuanliang wanted to save people, but the officers around him were silent, and no one came up with a better way. Because the chief of staff said that this was a trap for the Japanese army, and their siege without attacking is the best proof of this.

Sato's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to use the remnants of the 2nd Battalion as bait and let the troops inside come out to rescue. In this way, the purpose of weakening the combat strength of the 88th Division was achieved, and powerful conditions were created for his next round of offensive.

At the headquarters of the 524th Regiment, the regiment commander Han Xianyuan was anxious, but he did not receive an order from the division headquarters and did not dare to send troops without authorization. The roads ahead have been blocked by the devil's tanks, and a large number of fire points have been arranged at the commanding heights of the surrounding houses.

Han Xianyuan asked the people around him: "Is there really no way?" ”

Xie Jinyuan said: "The devils besieged but did not attack, and did not launch further attacks on our battalion, their combat intention is obvious, that is, they want us to come to the rescue." ”

Han Xianyuan said: "There are more than 200 of our brothers there, as well as the German adviser von Schmelin, and I really can't do it if I don't save him when he dies." ”

Xie Jinyuan said helplessly: "Now that even the telephone line has been cut off, we can't know the situation of the second battalion, and we can't cooperate." ”

Now that the combat strength of both sides is known, whoever takes the lead and can't hold his breath will lose the battle.

That's why Sato saw this, so he made such a move. As long as the 88th Division rescues, the balance between the two sides will be broken, and they will hold the initiative on the battlefield.

Now the two sides have reached a stalemate for a time. Although the teeth were staggered, there was no action on either side until noon.

On the main position of the second battalion, the commander of the second battalion learned that the back road had been cut off, so he decided to shrink his defense, even if he fought to the last man, he would fight with the devil to the end.

The soldiers of the second battalion seem to have come to their senses and continue to strengthen the fortifications during the period when the devils did not attack.

Behind the fortifications, the commander of the second battalion said to Feng Schmelin: "You should leave in the morning, the division commander needs you more." ”

Before the devils formed a siege, the German adviser von Schmelin could leave. The commander of the second battalion had strictly ordered him to leave, but Feng Schmelin still decided to stay, and he wanted to live and die with the brothers of the second battalion.

Feng Shimerlin said with a bright smile: "I don't want to go alone, I want to go together, we are brothers." ”

Feng Schmelin already had a deep affection for the second battalion, and he really couldn't bear to leave alone.

The commander of the second battalion patted Feng Shi Merlin and said, "If I die in battle, the second battalion will be under your command." ”

When he said this, the second battalion commander turned around and left with a hint of sadness.

Feng Schmelin also knew that it was the last moment, and he took out the photo of his beloved again, with reluctance in his eyes.

In the afternoon, until 3:3, the division still did not move, and Sato's plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements failed.

The 88th Division was not without movement, pressing the border from three directions and confronting the devil troops surrounding the 2nd Battalion, so as to contain them.

In this way, Sato could only attack from the east. If the three directions of the south and northwest were to attack, the second battalion was very likely to counterattack, or even flank the peripheral troops.

"Boom, boom, boom" "....... ”

The devils surrounded the three points and launched an attack on the position of the second battalion from the front at 3:10 p.m.

After half an hour of shelling, two armored vehicles attacked with a large number of infantry.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”“……”

The position was full of gunfire and fire, and a large number of bullets poured out towards the front.

Although the infantry was covered by armored vehicles, the scope of protection was very limited. After they approached the range of 100 meters, the devils at the back of the armored vehicle were hit by bullets from the inclined plane or bullets from a high place, and they fell to the ground one after another.

The will of the defenders is unusually tenacious, even beyond Sato's imagination. While the defenders counterattacked, the Japanese launched an artillery bombardment. Because at this time, the lethality of artillery is the greatest.

At the headquarters of the 88th Division, the communications corps reported: "Report! The report came from the front, and the devils launched an attack on the second battalion from the front. ”

Sun Yuanliang hurriedly asked, "What about the other three directions!?" ”

"In a standoff situation," the communications corps reported. ”

"Sure enough."

Sun Yuanliang hoped that there would be some movement in these three directions to create a glimmer of life for the second battalion, but now, ......... So, Sun Yuanliang ordered loudly: "Order the artillery battalion to return fire!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Sun Yuanliang could only do this for the second battalion, so that the artillery battalion directly under the division could do all its best to assist in the defense.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "........."

Both sides launched a heavy artillery bombardment, and the positions of the second battalion and the area ahead were full of fires and thunderous artillery. Under this artillery fire, the combat power of both sides is dying out step by step.

"That's the last thing I want to see."

At the observation post in front of the devil, Sato saw the tenacity and unyielding of the second battalion, because the enemy in a desperate situation was the most terrifying.

The Devil armored car stopped 30 meters from the defense line of the 2nd battalion. If it is very dangerous to advance, the position of the second battalion is full of soldiers who look at death as if they were home.

"Wow!" “……”

Batches of devils poured out from the rear of the armored vehicles, and they launched a charge at the position with the shout of "wow".

"Brothers, hit hard!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

Von Schmelin shouted vigorously at the front of the position, and fired wildly at the front with a submachine gun.

Feng Shimelin's actions gave great encouragement to the soldiers of the second battalion. A German can risk his life to fight for his country, but what is there to fear as a Chinese soldier?

"Hit!" "Ahh “……”

"Da Da Da" "......

The soldiers of the second battalion in the position fought back with howls, and the blood in their hearts was hotter than the bullets fired.

"Brothers, follow me!"

A large number of devils had already rushed to the position, and the second battalion commander was the first to rush out of the trench, and the soldiers around the position rushed out one after another with the second battalion commander.

"Kill the devil!." "Kill!" "Kill!" ……”

The second battalion was killing in the sky, and nearly 200 soldiers rushed towards the invaders with a roar......
