Chapter Ninety-Eight

The sun was rising, and Furong Dazuo arrived at the park with reinforcements.

At this time, the Japanese army had a total of one and a half infantry brigades, one field artillery brigade, two field heavy artillery squadrons, a 150-caliber howitzer squadron, and more than 30 tanks.

In the command headquarters, Nishio Nakasa reported the battle situation to Fukuei Osa, "The Yoshioka Squadron and the Maruyama Squadron have entered the city in the early hours of yesterday morning, occupied the Great Temple and the Northeast Towers respectively, and have held on to this day...... As for the outer defense line, to the east, our department has occupied Shaozhuang and is advancing towards the east gate of Taierzhuang; To the south, our department has broken through the line of Liujiahu, Dunshang, and Pengcun, and is advancing to the west gate of Taierzhuang......"

After listening to the report, Furong Dazuo looked at the map in a daze, frowned and pondered, and suddenly said slowly, "Northwest corner...... Concentrate forces to break through the northwest corner. ”

"Hey!" The officials agreed and dispersed in a hurry.

In the northwest corner of Taierzhuang, field artillery, field heavy artillery, and howitzers bombarded in turn, infantry and tanks continued to attack, and Furong Dazuo vowed to break through Taierzhuang!

The sun is shining, the sky is high and the clouds are light, Li Siwei stood on the top of Zhangshan Mountain and looked at the smoke of Taierzhuang, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was gloomy, "Lao Tzu must do something!" ”

"Commander," Gan Fei, who was standing behind him, hesitated, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Gan Fei," Li Siwei turned around suddenly, "Go find Liao Heiniu and the three of them for a meeting!" ”

"Yes," Gan Fei agreed, and hurried away.

Li Siwei strode towards the barracks, and when he walked through the training ground, he stopped and looked at the brothers who were sweating like rain on the training ground, "Liu Heishui, Feng Zhenyi, go to the conference room with Lao Tzu, and let the brothers stop practicing...... " Li Siwei said, and walked quickly to the conference room.

"Yes!" Liu Heishui and Feng Zhenyi suddenly perked up, "Brothers, the head of the regiment has let everyone rest." ”

The sweaty brothers cheered and dispersed...... The training subjects set by the regiment commander are too intense!

Liu Heishui and Feng Zhenyi hurriedly followed up the conference room, but saw Li Siwei standing in front of the map, frowning and pondering.

After a while, Gan Fei walked in with Lu Quanyou, Liao Heiniu and Shi Meng.

Liao Heiniu's face was full of excitement, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Li Siwei eagerly, "Cannon, is there a new mission?" ”

Li Siwei raised his head and glanced at Liao Heiniu, "Taierzhuang is about to turn the sky upside down, Lao Tzu can't hide in this mountain!" ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and they all looked at Li Siwei, their eyes blazing, "Leader, what's the matter?" ”

Li Siwei looked around at everyone and groaned, "The order given to us from above is to hold the stronghold and wait for a counterattack...... As a result, we will have very limited troops at our disposal. ”

Lu Quanyou nodded, "Yes, after a series of fierce battles, we can't get supplements, and now, the shortage of our regiment is too serious...... The three battalions should add up to less than five hundred, and counting the supply company, special service company, and cooking platoon, it will not exceed seven hundred! ”

Everyone was silent, after the revitalization of the new third regiment in Pingyi, the big battles and small battles along the way were not broken, although the results were good, but the casualties of the brothers were accumulating more and more!

Li Siwei sighed leisurely, "In other words, the troops we can draw out will not exceed four hundred, and these four hundred people will be put on the battlefield of Taierzhuang...... If it's good, it can last three to five days, but it should be very limited! Of course, we can also infiltrate these forces into the rear of the little devils, as long as we can find the weakness of the little devils, the effect should be greater than going to Taierzhuang...... However, this road is also the most dangerous, we don't know anything about the situation in Zaozhuang and Lincheng, and if we don't pay attention to it, the brothers who go in may have no return! ”

"Cannon," Liao Heiniu shouted without waiting for Li Siwei to finish speaking, "Let Lao Tzu take his brothers to ......"

Li Siwei interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Forget it, the third regiment can't stand such a toss anymore...... Let's use the safest way, let's start from the Yitai Highway and specialize in the supply and reinforcements of the little devils. ”

"Commander," Lu Quanyou frowned, "It's easy to be exposed, I'm afraid that as soon as we make a move, the little devils will know that we have taken their stronghold......"

Li Siwei shook his head, "Even if we don't do it, the little devil will suspect it sooner or later, and it will only be two or three days at the latest...... This Zhangshan will inevitably fight. ”

Lu Quanyou hesitated, "It's always better to be later, right?" ”

Li Siwei glanced at him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let's fight, it's early, Taierzhuang will be a little easier......"

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, their faces solemn.

Li Siwei's expression was neat, and he looked around at everyone, "Go back to the headquarters, arrange the defense of your respective strongholds, and gather the extra manpower to Zhangshan." ”

"Yes!" The crowd agreed.

Everyone dispersed, and Li Siwei was about to go out, when he saw Fucha Morgen striding in, "Brother Cannon, are you going to start acting?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Brother Fucha slept well?" ”

Fucha Morgen smiled bitterly, "Brother Cannon, I laughed, the brothers have not avenged their blood revenge, how can they sleep peacefully?" ”

Li Siwei sighed, "Brother Fucha, you also saw the situation when we were chased and killed by the cavalry of the little devils that day...... In fact, who does not carry the blood debt of their brothers? We've been killing little devils and taking revenge all the time, but how many kills do we have to take revenge? I don't think that even if I kill more little devils, I can't take revenge, because my dead brother will never survive! ”

Fucha Morgen was shocked and hung his head silently.

Li Siwei looked at him with sincerity on his face, "Brother Fucha, in fact, we are desperately killing the little devil not just to take revenge, but to let more people live." ”

Fucha Morgen slowly raised his head and looked at Li Siwei, his eyes gradually brightened, "In order to let more people live......

Li Siwei nodded heavily, "In order to let more people live!" ”

Fucha Morgen nodded, looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "Let me act with you, right?" I'm ...... alone."

Li Siwei was stunned, "Your hand ......"

Fucha Morgen patted the chopping knife on his waist, "I can use this." ”

Li Siwei glanced at the horse chopping knife, and nodded again and again, the knife was one size bigger than the machete of the Northwest Army brothers, Li Siwei estimated that he could really cut a horse into two pieces with a single knife, let alone a little devil.

The sunset fell into the sea of clouds in the western sky, and the night covered the earth, and the guns and cannons in Taierzhuang never stopped.

The headquarters of the 31st Division, brightly lit.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang suddenly, and Master Chi hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Division commander," Senator Wang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "The position in the northwest corner has been lost, and the officers and soldiers of Wang Zuxian and the whole battalion below have been martyred......

Master Chi was shocked, "He...... They're good! Crown five, the guard company will go over immediately, and the position must be recaptured! ”

When it comes to fighting this part, any strategy loses its meaning, and the only thing that works is - to fill it with human lives!

Division Commander Chi hung up the phone in a daze, "Order, the guard company immediately reinforces the northwest corner and recaptures the position." ”

"Yes!" The herald hurried away.

Staff Officer Qu sighed, "Division commander, the guards have all filled in...... Alas! ”

"Divisional Commander!" The commander of the communications company came in a hurry, "The command telegraphed the order. ”

Master Chi waved his hand, "Read!" ”

The commander of the communication company picked up the document with a solemn expression, "The commission order: Taierzhuang barrier Xu Hai is related to the second phase of the operation, so the second group army is fully guarded, that is, there is a soldier and a pawn, and the spirit of sacrifice is also hard to fight, if it is lost, it will not be punished by all the officers and soldiers of the army, that is, Chief Li, Deputy Chief Bai, and Vice Chief Lin will also be punished......."

After the telegram was read, the generals were silent, and there was silence in the headquarters.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang again, and Master Chi slowly picked up the phone.

Not surprisingly, Commander Sun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Fengcheng, have you read the telegram of the commission?" ”

Master Chi stiffened his head and said "um", "I've read it!" ”

"Okay," Commander Sun's voice sank, "three days, hold on for another three days, and the Twenty Army Corps will be able to go south!" ”

"Really?" Master Chi was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears.

"Yes!" Commander Sun was categorical, "Tell the brothers, hold on for three more days!" After three days, it's time for us to counterattack! ”

"Yes!" Division Commander Chi perked up and said loudly, "Commander, rest assured, the officers and men of our department will never take a step back!" ”

At night, the lights of Nigou Town were dim, and the 44th Brigade had retreated, and at this time, it had become the stronghold of the Furong Wing.

To the west of Nigou Town, Li Siwei and a team of brothers lurked quietly in a dense forest.

The number of this team is about 200, and everyone is lightly armed and ready for battle.

Li Siwei looked at the dimly lit Nigou Town, and smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to engage in the supply troops of little devils on the Yitai Highway, but he didn't meet the target all the way to Nigou Town...... It seems that the supply troops who fight the little devils also have to depend on chance!

"Regiment Commander," Feng Zhenyi hurried over from the direction of Nigou Town and got into the dense forest, "I figured it out, the town in front was occupied by little devils, and the number of enemies did not exceed two hundred. ”

Li Siwei perked up, "Okay, let's start from here!" ”

Fucha Morgen was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Just these people? The devil's stronghold is not easy to fight ......"

Li Siwei glanced at Fucha Morgen and could see that he had suffered a lot from little devils recently.

Fucha Morgen smiled wryly, "The firepower of the little devil's stronghold is too strong, and that time, most of the brothers fell under the machine gun of the little devil......"

Li Siwei nodded lightly, "Of course, we can't attack ...... Feng Zhenyi, you take the first team to touch in from the east of the town; Gan Fei, you take the second team to get in from the north of the town; Wei Yidao, you take the third team to touch in from the south of the town...... Act now. ”

"Yes," the three agreed, and left with their brothers.

In the temporary headquarters, Captain Kondo sat under the lamp, writing a letter, with a knowing smile on his lips.

"Kondo-kun," Executive Lieutenant Maruyama strode in, "the tour is over, not a single one." ”

"Good work," Captain Kondo looked up and smiled slightly, "Maruyama-kun should rest early." ”

"Hey," Lieutenant Maruyama paused as he saw the letterhead on the table, and suddenly smiled a little more, "Kondo-kun, there's another letter from home?" ”

Captain Kondo's smile deepened, "Keiko is about to graduate, so there are more letters." ”

Lieutenant Maruyama was stunned, "Miss Keiko?" She is a top student at the Imperial Women's University, and she will definitely be able to serve His Majesty the Emperor better. ”

"Yes!" Captain Kondo's face was triumphant, "Keiko said that she wants to come to Shina, become a military doctor, and serve the Great East Asian Holy War!" ”

Lieutenant Maruyama looked admiring, "Miss Keiko doesn't let her shave her eyebrows, and she can teach such a sister, Kondo-kun is admirable!" ”

Captain Kondo smiled modestly, "Maruyama-kun has won the award...... Rest early, the big war is coming, we must conserve enough energy. ”

"Hey!" Lieutenant Maruyama said yes, turned around and walked out the door.

"Da Da Da ......"

Lieutenant Maruyama's footsteps faded away, Captain Kondo picked up the pen, lowered his head slightly, and continued to write, the corners of his mouth turned up, this woman who did not let her eyebrows be his pride, and she would also dedicate herself to the cause of the Holy War of the Empire.

“…… Keiko, let's work hard together for the cause of the Empire's holy war! ”

After writing this sentence, he gently put down his pen and moved his wrist, and at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a cold light in the corner of his eye.

"Huh......"

Captain Kondo threw himself to the ground, and the short knife slashed through the air, and the owner of the short knife let out an exclamation.

"Yaga!" Captain Kondo rolled on a lazy donkey, climbed up from the base of the wall, drew his gun, and roared at the visitor, "Who are you?" ”

The person who came was clearly the costume of the imperial army, but why did he do this to himself?

"Hehe," it was Wei Yidao, who grinned, "Damn, you turtles are faster than monkeys!" ”

He really didn't expect this devil officer to move so fast!

"Yaga!" Captain Kondo still didn't understand, he gritted his teeth and was about to pull the trigger, but at this moment, he only felt a chill hit, making himself feel like falling into an ice cave, his cold hair stood on end, but his fingers seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't hold it down.

"Poof......

The chill penetrated through his heart and spread throughout his body.

"Smack......

The gun that had been with him for five years fell limply to the ground.

A short knife sank into his chest, and the handle of the blade was out.

"Hehe," Wei grabbed the pen on the table with a knife and walked over slowly, "Such a good thing, just for the head of the regiment!" ”

Captain Kondo leaned against the wall and collapsed to the ground softly, his eyes bulging outward, staring at Wei Yidao deadly, his eyes full of unwillingness!

Wei Yidao walked over, leaned down, and pulled out a short knife.

"Puff puff ......"

Poked in again, once, twice, three times!

Li Siwei walked in with Fucha Morgen, "One knife, it's going well, right?" ”

Wei Yidao nodded, his face was a little pale, "This turtle has a way to escape, and I almost caught his way." ”

Li Siwei walked over and patted Wei Yidao on the shoulder, "Be careful next time, it seems that Lao Tzu should still transfer you to the special service company, and you have to practice killing kung fu every day......

Wei Yidao hurriedly shook his head, "Regiment Commander, I prefer to give my brothers food, and when Company Commander Huang and Company Commander Sun come back, I will still go back to the cooking platoon, will it?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Done!" ”

At this time, Feng Zhenyi and Gan Fei hurriedly walked into the courtyard and walked towards the conference room.

Li Siwei glanced at the two of them up and down, "Yes, the first time I led the team alone, I didn't hang the lottery...... Did you find anything? ”

Gan Fei's face was happy, "Commander, gas oil, there is a lot of gasoline!" ”

"Gasoline? How many? Li Siwei was overjoyed, "Quick, take Lao Tzu over to have a look." ”
