"Get out of the car!"

When the convoy reached a distance of three kilometers from Nanjiao, it had to stop.

The rest of the road was full of potholes, and the trucks couldn't keep going.

"Click."

A pair of large leather boots stepped on the ground, and a Japanese adjutant stepped out of the cab. straightened the command knife hanging from his waist, and his eyes scanned the road in front of him like a falcon.

"Captain, our team has been assembled and is ready to listen to orders at any time."

The subordinate's report made the adjutant a little unfamiliar, and then made him a little excited.

"It's good, it's only three kilometers away from Nanzhang now. In other words, we only need to walk another three kilometers to meet the enemies we miss day and night! Just today, our Nishimura Brigade must wash away the humiliation! Avenge Nishio! ”

"Hello!"

All the Japanese soldiers around immediately stood up neatly with the roar of the adjutant, as a sign of determination.

This adjutant is Nishimura Shou, who has been silent for two months. In the past two months, he should have been the person who has been under the most pressure in the entire Sasaki United.

All the white eyes that Sasaki United suffered were caused by his defeat in Lingqiu.

After retreating from Lingqiu to Guangling, Nishimura's whole person was decadent, and he even wanted to apologize for his seppuku at one point.

However, it is clear that his seppuku failed. But this failed seppuku left him in the hospital for more than a month.

This time when he was discharged from the hospital, Sasaki had specially talked to him, just to give him a chance to prove himself again.

"Queue, march, target Nanshan!"

……

The distance of three kilometers can be said to be face to face, and as soon as the West Village Brigade entered the range of Nanzhang, it was already noticed by the guard post of the first battalion, and it was immediately reported to Bai Lin.

"Battalion commander, a brigade of devils is now three kilometers north of our place!"

Bai Lin, who heard the report, was stunned at the time, and subconsciously thought that he had heard it wrong.

"The little devil is ruthless! I really didn't expect his mother to push up a brigade directly! But that's fine, we have more devils here, and there are fewer devils in the defense area of other brother troops. In that case, come on! ”

……

"Boom !!"

Regarding Bai Lin's bold words, the devil's reply was to greet him with a cannon when he met.

A kilometer north of the town, the Nishimura brigade stopped as it marched here. An open field was chosen, where artillery positions were set up.

Two Type 92 infantry guns are lined up in the middle, flanked by eight Type 97 90mm caliber mortars. A total of ten guns were aimed at the town!!

Standing on the side of the artillery position, looking at the artillery stretched out in a row, Nishimura's chest was suddenly full of confidence. With a thud, he pulled out his command knife and pointed forward.

"Cannon !!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

Ten guns fired a salvo, and a series of fires erupted from the muzzles. That loud roar shook the ground!

The shelling lasted six rounds, and a full sixty shells were tilted into the town. Houses were blown to pieces by shells, and sections of streets were blown over by the explosion! Nearly half of the fortifications built by the first battalion on the outskirts of the town were blown away!

"Yo Xi! What a wonderful sight, and under such artillery fire, no amount of cleverness will help! ”

Looking at the scene in the telescope, Nishimura's tone was very excited. The roaring cannon gave him infinite confidence.

In Lingqiu, most of the battles between him and the 424th Regiment took place in the mountains, and the superior heavy firepower could not give full play to the advantages at all.

But now it was different, on the plains, his artillery and heavy machine guns were all able to pull out of the position.

"The machine gun squadron is the lead, advancing into the town!"

The shelling seemed to have made Nishimura feel depressed, and after the five rounds of shelling were completed, Nishimura immediately issued a new order, and this time he was going to give full play to the advantages of weapons and equipment.

Every four men carried a Type 92 heavy machine gun, a total of twelve heavy machine guns, lined up in a long steel line, marching in the direction of the town.

……

The sudden assembly of a Japanese brigade near Nanzhang was not a trivial matter. With the intelligence capabilities of the brigade headquarters, the news was quickly learned.

"The little devil really doesn't want to give us any chance! The 424th Regiment has just taken Nanzhang, so they will concentrate a brigade to go over! When we can't be bullied?! ”

It was not without reason that the brigade commander of the Yuanqing Dynasty was angry, and the 424th Regiment recaptured Nanzhang, which suddenly turned the tide of the enemy and us.

If the devil shows a little hesitation on the issue of Nanzhang, then it is possible to enter a confrontation and tug-of-war between the enemy and us in Jizhong, and in that case, there will still be room for many things to be discussed.

But what the brigade commander never expected was that the devil was so decisive in dealing with Nanzhang, without any temptation, and even sent a brigade directly!

"Brigadier Commander, it seems that we had a wrong thing in mind. Not only did Yue Siliang have some thoughts about Sasaki, but Sasaki also gritted his teeth at the 424 regiment. Now that the 424th regiment has emerged, Sasaki has no reason to appease him anymore. ”

Political Commissar Shi Xuan sighed and said that although he had heard of the sick attachment of the Japanese before, he really saw the madness of the Japanese in this regard today.

"The 424th Regiment recaptured Nanzhang, which was originally a good opportunity for us. With the 424th Regiment in response, we may be able to fight a good battle.

But now it seems that the previous plan will have to be changed. In the south direction of the road, there was only one team of the 424th Regiment. Even if we tried to do a rescue, we couldn't.

A brigade...... In the plains, the devils can fully reflect their equipment advantages. I'm afraid Yue Siliang's regiment won't be able to hold out for too long......"

The brigade commander was also a little at a loss at this time, if the 424th Regiment could not hold out in Nanzhang for too long, it would not be able to play a role in containing it at all.

It's just that the 424th Regiment is now deep into the control of the devils, and all around it are the blockade of the devils! The brigade commander had no way to send reinforcements.

"Brigade commander, 424 regimental telegram!"

It was at this time that a telegram was received at the telegraph office of the brigade headquarters. When the telegraph operator saw clearly who the masthead was signing, he immediately jumped up and reported to the brigade commander of Yuanqing. Because the comrades at the telegraph office also knew that the brigade commander was worried about the affairs of the 424th regiment at this time.

"Hurry up, give it to me!"

The brigade commander immediately took the telegram in his hand, and when he unfolded it, he saw that there was only one sentence on it.

"Rest assured, the 424th Regiment will stick to the end."

“……”

Looking at the report in his hand, Brigade Commander Yuan Qing was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

Political Commissar Shi Xuan, who was standing on the side, had also seen the contents of the telegram at this time, and in the end, a thousand words were only converted into one sentence.

"Brigade commander, the more times like this, the more we have to believe in our comrades. Choose to believe Comrade Si Liang. ”

After saying that, Shi Xuan's generous palm slapped the brigade commander's shoulder.

……

"This little devil's firepower is too fierce! Battalion commander, it's not a problem to go on like this! We can't be beaten like this! ”

In the underground headquarters, Zhang Chi patted the soil on his hat and said with a look of grievance. The devil's artillery bombardment was so powerful that many of the fortifications on the ground disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him feel like he was stuck in his throat by a chicken bone.

"How about it?! Let the soldiers come out of the fortifications and use the Heavenly Spirit Cover to hard-top the devil's cannonballs? Talking childish! The more times like this, the more we have to persevere! The devil's cannon will not be released all the time, and sooner or later there will be a time when the fight will be finished. ”

Bai Lin's estimate was very accurate, and as soon as his words fell, the devil's sixth round of shells had already been fired. The machine-gun squadron of the Nishimura brigade began to advance forward.

Looking at the devil machine gun squadron, Bai Lin frowned. Because in his opinion, the machine gun of the devil is much more dangerous than the cannon. immediately put down the telescope and instructed Zhang Chi.

"The little devil is really rich, this big guy casually brought out a twelve, it seems that the little devil is determined to play heavy fire with us.

Tell the fighters, hold your breath! Since the devils want to play, let's let them play by themselves. He plays his, let's play ours! ”

Bai Lin's advice was indeed not wrong, in the fortifications, the soldiers who survived the shelling crawled out of the cat's ear hole, and watched their comrades being blown up by the shells or their faces were scorched black, or bleeding, and the hearts of the soldiers who were still alive were absolutely unbearable.

Fortunately, the commander of a company at the city gate was able to control the emotions of the soldiers after receiving a call from the headquarters, so that the soldiers did not use their bodies to resist the devil's heavy machine guns.

"Stand out of the way! Put all the devils in! Repeat! ”

"Yes! Be! Get out of the way! Put the devils in! ”

Putting down the phone, the company commander couldn't help but look at the phone again, it was rare that the shelling of the devil just now did not blow up the telephone line, this thing is indeed much faster than two legs on the battlefield.

……

"Captain, the machine gun squadron entered the town without any hindrance."

Outside the town, Nishimura, who received the report, raised his eyebrows and looked at the direction of the town with some surprise.

Although he was now full of confidence, he was not so arrogant that he thought that the enemy in front of him could be solved by a few rounds of shelling.

After squinting his eyes and thinking about it. Nishimura smiled contemptuously.

"Are you going to have a street fight? Hehe, the donkey is poor. Do you think you can defeat me with this kind of cleverness? Advance! ”

Nishimura has long since lost his arrogance, and this time he has learned to think about his opponent's intentions. Under his orders, the Japanese troops formed a dense formation and advanced towards the town.
