The resurgence of the ashes, although somewhat inappropriate, makes some sense to use this word to describe the current situation on the battlefield.

As Bai Lin's reserve troops, which had been covered for more than ten hours, were put into it, the entire battlefield was instantly revitalized.

It really felt like a pile of ash that had only been left with sporadic fires, and suddenly a bundle of dry wood was added, and a raging fire was ignited in an instant!

The starting point of the counterattack was the compound where the rest of the second company confronted the Japanese army, and the commandos who had been preparing for a long time rushed out of the night with light machine guns, taking the Japanese army by surprise.

With the screams of the soldiers that shook the sky, the entire Nanzhang Town seemed to be set on fire. When the soldiers counterattacked to that street, the fire was carried to the street, and almost every team of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had two or three bombardiers who were specifically responsible for throwing gasoline bottles.

This is the result of Bai Lin's careful consideration before. Although the Japanese army did not like to fight at night, it did not mean that the Japanese army had poor eyesight at night.

On the contrary, the night vision of the Japanese army was actually not bad. Due to its geographical location, fish is a large part of the Japanese diet.

The essence of night raid warfare should be to seize the opportunity for the enemy to relax and take it by surprise. Instead of hoping that the enemy would turn blind at night.

The battle of Nanzhang this night was not so much a night attack as a night battle. In such a situation, neither side will give the other a chance to withdraw from the battlefield and rest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Simple gasoline bottles made from the gasoline of the captured devils were thrown one after another, and as the explosion sounded, a large fireball immediately rose.

The fireballs may not do much damage to the Japanese army, but the firelight it emits is like a signal, marking the location of the devil.

"Bang! Syllable! Bang! Syllable! Bang! Bang! ……”

Gunshots rang out in the flickering firelight, and the sharpshooters who had been hiding for a long time finally had a chance to shoot.

Ever since the shelling was over and the battle began, the sharpshooters had been hiding in bunkers, craters, ruins, and corpses, allowing nothing to happen before their eyes without firing a single shot.

Until this moment, the soldiers of both sides fought in the town for a whole day! In this way, Nanzhang was pushed and rolled into a ball of noodles, and the heavy weapons of the Japanese army were also cleverly scattered throughout the town. For sharpshooters, this is simply equivalent to the target actively hitting the muzzle of the gun!

A dozen snipers scattered throughout the town fired at almost the same time, and their targets were unanimous, almost all of them machine gunners, grenadiers, and other special units or officers.

……

"Battalion commander, there are about dozens of devils gathered in the east and are coming towards us!"

As soon as Bai Lin led the team out of the headquarters, a soldier immediately rushed over to report.

"East?"

Bai Lin narrowed his eyes, and his eyes hit the two alleys away, and there was nothing to see in the gray over there, and there was a faint sound of noisy footsteps.

"It's the seventh platoon over there who is in charge, how can you put the devil ......?"

Bai Lin stopped halfway through speaking, his comrades naturally wouldn't let the devil in, so there might be only one.

"Dozens of them, it's rare that the devils can still gather now! Then let them in, and we'll deal with them here! Notify a company, ready to ignite! ”

Hundreds of people dug for more than ten hours, and naturally it was impossible to dig only a few trenches. At the key location, Bai Lin ordered a lot of gutters to be dug, specifically for the purpose of taking gasoline for ignition.

Of course, that step is not a last resort, Bai Lin will not go.

……

"The Eighth Route Army really has reserves!"

Nishimura's face was very bad, and he didn't expect this battle to be so difficult.

According to the reports of his subordinates and his own observations, the number of the Eighth Route Army here would not exceed a thousand at most.

However, under the premise of having the advantage of numbers and equipment, they would still fight so hard.

It took a whole day for the hundreds of Eighth Route Army in the town to show their defeat.

But it was not even an hour before it gained the upper hand like this, and the Eighth Route Army actually invested reserve troops on the battlefield again!

At the same time, more than half an hour earlier, one of his squadron leaders reported to him that the command of the Eighth Route Army had been apparently discovered. But until now, he had not received any news of victory, and instead the squadron had completely lost contact. The position reported by the squadron leader was also on fire!

"What the hell is going on?! Are these Eighth Route Army all monsters?! ”

Nishimura held up his binoculars and observed the battlefield, and now he was already anxious. At the location of the suspected headquarters of the Eighth Route Army reported by the squadron leader, a fire was already burning at this moment.

As you can see from the telescope, the huge flames are five or six meters high. The boiling heat wave and the steaming air seemed to be distinguishable with the naked eye.

"This bunch of guys...... It's not human......"

Nishimura muttered something of unknown significance. Up to now, the performance of the 424th Regiment can no longer be explained from the perspective of combat effectiveness.

This made him feel like he was stuck in his throat, as if he was in charge of a platoon in charge of the broken rear during the battle at the Black Mountain Pass. It's obviously a mantis arm as a car, but they chose to fight to the last person!

"Baking !!"

At this moment, Nishimura's eyes suddenly burst into red, and the firelight in the sky reflected his face red!

Starting from the outermost ring of buildings in the town, Hula suddenly burst into flames!

"These bastards! Are they jumping off the wall in a hurry, and they want to die with the imperial soldiers?! ”

Nishimura said angrily, this circle of fires made it impossible for him to see the fire in the town. But even then, he can also understand that this Nanzhang is clearly a big trap! The 424th Regiment clearly wants to bury their West Village Brigade here!

"Hmm...... Maybe that's not a bad thing. ”

However, Nishimura's heart soon calmed down, and instead of anger, there was a hint of pride.

"What a foolishness, even if you use this fire to die with the Imperial soldiers? As long as the artillery positions remain, victory will be ours! Here, after all, it still belongs to us!

When will the Wing Captain's support arrive? Maybe when they arrive, I can ask them to clean up this terrible battlefield. ”

Nishimura's smirk was tinged with cruelty. In his opinion, as long as the final victory can belong to him, then it doesn't matter how cruel the process is.

Of course, his confidence is justified, the cannon is called the "god of war", and the power of the Type 92 infantry gun is not small, and if a shell is fired, there will be no live opening within a range of more than ten meters around. Although the firepower of the other eight seven-and-a-half mortars is inferior, it is enough to suppress firepower!

As long as the artillery positions are still there, Nishimura will have enough confidence!

"Captain! An enemy appeared less than 300 meters in front of us on the right! ”

Just as Nishimura was thinking this, a report from a subordinate clerk struck him like a lightning strike.

"What do you say?!!"

Nishimura said in disbelief, throwing away the binoculars in his hand and squinting his eyes to look over. At a distance of a few hundred meters, there is no need to use a telescope anymore.

In the field of vision of the West Village, a group of figures swaying from side to side appeared a few hundred meters away, their total number was only about a few dozen people, three or four people formed a battle group, and more than a dozen groups were slowly marching here.

Nishimura Shou's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and by the fire in the town, this Eighth Route Army team quietly came under their noses in the night!

"The target of the Eighth Route Army is an artillery position!"

Although he had already guessed the intention of this Eighth Route Army, there seemed to be no way for Nishimura at this moment.

All the fighters were put into the battlefield, and the battlefield had already become a pot of porridge, and with this fire, a pot of rotten porridge turned into a hot kiln.

Looking at his brigade headquarters and the artillerymen who were only armed with melee weapons such as pistols, Nishimura nodded heavily.

"Gentlemen, fight to the death! Onboard! ”

"Onboard!! ……”

It was less than two hundred meters away from the artillery position of the Nishimura Brigade, and the platoon commander of the new platoon felt like his chest was going to explode.

The name "New Platoon" is naturally to distinguish it from the "Old Platoon", which is the platoon that was left behind to cover in the Battle of Montenegro Pass.

In that battle, a platoon from the platoon leader Shi Huzi to every ordinary soldier was killed! And the first platoon used the lives of their entire platoon of forty-two people to successfully buy forty-two minutes for the transfer of the large army!

Forty-two minutes, forty-two lives. Today, the time has come for the "new platoon" to ask for the devil's life for the "old platoon".

Although the battle of Shangbeiwa was hearty, the result was more like a game of chess, and it seemed that he had to wait until the general account was settled in this Nanzhang!

……

The bullet entered his chest, Nishimura's whole body stiffened, and the war knife in his hand was crooked to the side, and the blade of the knife leaned down and raised high with the tassel at the end of the hilt, passing in front of Nishimura's eyes.

"Perhaps...... I deserve to die in that seppuku, at least like a samurai...... The wound was aching again...... Is it a delusion......"

With such a thought, Nishimura fell to the ground. The moment he boarded a warship in a Japanese port, he would never have grown up, and he would have died at the hands of an ordinary soldier in a foreign country.

……

The fire burned for eight hours, and half of the town was charred. Bai Lin looked at the mess in front of him and was silent. Fire and water are ruthless, that's what it looks like.

This was caused by his conscious demarcation of the ignition area, and the Japanese shelling made much of the earthwork meaningless.

Sitting on the ground with a plop, Bai Lin didn't bother to pay attention to the shock of the tail bone being broken. He was so tired, he could be said to have hollowed out his mind in this battle, exhausted all the tactics he mastered, and only then did he kick all the devils of this brigade into the grave.

"Battalion commander, the devils have been wiped out by us!"

Zhang Chi said in disbelief that this battle was not simply to win, but to wipe out the enemy! This is simply unimaginable, and Zhang Chi can only think about it in his dreams before tonight!

"Yes, the devil has been wiped out...... Our losses are not small...... You kid don't blame me now? ”

Bai Lin said weakly, and at the same time teased Zhang Chi.

"It's not weird, it's not weird, how can it be, it's my shallow knowledge, if it weren't for the battalion commander's insistence, how could we win such a big battle."

Zhang Chi said with some embarrassment, although he was still a little blind, he knew that winning today's battle was inseparable from Bai Lin's persistence.

"Victory? You kid thinks of good things! I'm telling you! It's still early! ”

After saying this, Bai Lin leaned heavily on the ground, and now he just wanted to lie on the ground and not move, so that the back of the still hot earth burner would be more comfortable.

"Battalion commander, there's movement on the other side of the river!"

It's a pity that the comfort that Bai Lin thinks is impossible. After lying down for less than five minutes, the soldier in charge of the guard reported loudly, and he didn't know what the little ghost had seen, and his voice was broken.

With the support of two people, Bai Lin climbed up to the top of the broken wall more than one meter high, wiped his dark face, and raised his telescope to look at the other side of the river by the faint light of the sky at five o'clock.

There was only one white line on the horizon, and the whole field of vision was dark and dreary. On the other side of the river, there are one black hole after another steel monsters, which look hideous and terrifying!

"Ahh!!h

Bai Lin, who saw what those were clearly, fell off the wall with a loud scream, and sighed with a drop in his telescope.

"This time, I'm going to die."
