This meant that the Kwantung Army Command could not support the Okamoto Brigade in time, and could only hope for the newly formed 18th Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade, which were rushing to Chaoyang.

As the Independent Battalion and the 39th Division got closer and closer to Chifeng, Okamoto Kumaburo's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Running away is definitely not good, running away without a fight is a capital crime and a shame, as a soldier who values honor more than life, Kusaburo Okamoto will never allow himself to do that.

The only thing he could do at the moment was to use positional warfare to stall for time and wait for reinforcements that were arriving.

This was a mistake by the Kwantung Army Command, and it was also a mistake by Kusaburo Okamoto.

Neither of them could have imagined that these two teams would be able to get rid of the threat posed by those three special shells in such a short period of time, and still have the strength to continue the attack.

By this time, the Japanese had realized that the independent battalion must have the ability to manufacture ammunition and even weapons.

Otherwise, even if they were able to get their hands on a sufficient number of weapons, they would not be able to get the ammunition they could sustain in successive battles.

At this time, the independent battalion was also officially concerned by the top brass of the Kwantung Army and became a target in their eyes that it must be annihilated in a short time.

At this point, Liu Cheng did not want to continue the previous development plan, but planned to start a hard-fought continuous battle with the Japanese, so that the soldiers of the independent battalion could complete the last transformation in the flames of war, and let them feel the feeling of a large-scale battle with the Japanese army in advance.

The battle that Liu Cheng has always had in mind is known as the "Songhu Meat Grinder" in history, and countless Chinese soldiers were killed in that battle, but it ended in failure.

Many people will subconsciously blame the defeat on the low combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, but in fact it is not that at all.

In that battle, the bald head was bloody.

The Central Teaching Corps and the 87th and 88th Divisions were the elite of the elite of the Fruit Army, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the Japanese Army, and the generals who commanded the battle of the Fruit Army were by no means incompetent.

Defeat is defeat in weaponry, especially heavy firepower weapons capable of causing mass destruction.

In that battle, the 75-millimeter mountain artillery, which many guerrillas who had fought in the northeast for more than ten years, had never seen was not even a fart at all, and even the heavy artillery of more than 150 millimeters was not the main battle firepower.

The little devil invested a large number of planes and tanks in that battle, which was the fundamental decision of the victory or defeat of that war.

Those Chinese soldiers who did not have air support, no matter how fast they marched and how desperate they fought in battle, in the face of the bombing of Japanese planes, they were like ants on the move, unable to do anything but run to their fate.

Especially when marching in an open area, it was simply a live target for Japanese aircraft, and every time a bomb was dropped in a dive, it could take hundreds or thousands of lives!

If you don't experience a brutal war, no matter how much you train, it's all in vain.

Liu Cheng, the basic framework of the independent battalion, has been laid, and the rest can only be handed over to the battle to temper.

Recruits with a strong desire to survive will inevitably grow up in the shortest possible time; On the contrary, they are destined to become unjust souls on the battlefield, and no one can save them!

Before deciding to attack Chifeng, Liu Cheng asked Hao Dabao, who had recovered a little, to take people to the ammunition base again and bring back all the finished ammunition, shells, explosives, and the two tanks.

A Japanese brigade that he didn't even dare to think about in his previous life has now become a corpse all over the ground in Liu Cheng's eyes.

Although it is not necessary to fight a Okamoto brigade with so much ammunition and shells, in order to ensure the next battle that ensues, Liu Cheng must be well prepared.

At ten o'clock in the morning of September 19, Liu Cheng looked at the outline of the city in the distance with a cold expression, and gave the order to attack in a deep voice.

More than 4,300 soldiers of the independent battalion lined up neatly and their morale was high, and they quickly advanced behind the two tanks, marching ten steps, and the sound of killing was so loud that they could be heard clearly from ten miles away.

Liu Cheng rode on horseback, dressed in a brand-new Guojun military uniform, and the shiny rank of major on his shoulders shone in the sun.

This military uniform was given to him by Zhou Zuopeng, and now Liu Cheng, who is close to 1.8 meters tall, wears this general, which shows his spirit.

It's not that he wants to be bald, but at this time he needs to wear such clothes to show off the identity of a commander.

As long as the soldiers of the army saw this dress, they knew that their battalion commander was still alive and fighting side by side with them!

The military flag does not fall, the military spirit does not disperse, the military uniform is in the body, and the military soul is eternal!

This time, Liu Cheng wanted to annihilate the Okamoto Brigade in the most direct and ferocious way, and officially declared war on the Japanese army under the name of "Independent Battalion"!

From this moment on, they are no longer guerrillas who run all over the mountains and can only harass sneak attacks; It is a steel army with a tenacious will and strong combat power that can crush the little devils, an undefeated army!

The Okamoto Brigade is just a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the military flag, a sacrifice to the soul of the army, and a sacrifice to the innocent souls who died under the swords and guns of the Japanese army!

The team stopped less than ten miles away from Chifeng, and Duan Jinghe immediately commanded the soldiers of the machine gun company to neatly place the twenty-one artillery pieces in front of the formation, turned around and ran quickly in front of Liu Cheng and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Report to the battalion commander! A total of 21 guns in the machine gun company have been lined up, please instruct! ”

Liu Cheng nodded slightly, but did not give the order to open fire, but said loudly to all the soldiers of the independent battalion:

"Brethren! From today onwards, we will no longer hide in Tibet, as long as the little devils dare to come, we will let them have no return! From the beginning of the battle in front of you, those who can survive will be rewarded with five pieces of the ocean! One for every one killed! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In the past, Liu Cheng always thought that this war was the responsibility of every Chinese, so there was no reward system in the battle.

But after the expansion of the independent battalion, he realized that not everyone's mind could reach that height.

In the hearts of most people, whoever is the "emperor" is the same and wants to shout long live, and there is no essential difference at all.

Especially for those recruits who join the army because of their salary, the rewards of real money are more attractive than ideological education and those so-called spiritual honors.

After finishing speaking, Liu Cheng turned to Duan Jinghe and said in a deep voice:

"Fire a few shots to scare and scare Okamoto's old boy, and then wait for my order to carry out a precise covering strike on the devil's position!"

"Yes!"

A minute later, twenty shells rushed out of the muzzle one after another and flew in the direction of Chifeng.

Liu Cheng took a deep breath, turned his head and ordered the herald in a deep voice:

"Command the companies, attack!"
