Jianshan, the forward post of the three battalions.

Li Jie, the battalion commander, squatted on the sentry post with a few cadres like this, Li Jie was smoking a cigarette pouch and smacking strange screams in his mouth.

"Good boy, what a damn big guy! You've seen the iron bumps, right? After being hit by those things all of a sudden, there's nothing left!

You said that if we had recklessly descended the mountain before, would we all be within range now?

I've served as the head of the regiment, and if I hadn't seen those things with my own eyes, I really thought he wanted to toss the dead surname Bai. ”

The old monkey was smoking a cigarette and babbling so much. Yao Gang, the deputy battalion commander on the side, could only laugh with him, Li Jie's strange words were his business, but Yao Gang didn't dare to answer this kind of thing.

But Li Jie said so in his mouth, Nanzhang was like that, and it was impossible for him to be indifferent. If it weren't for Yue Siliang's several strict orders in a row, he would have led his team down the mountain to support a long time ago.

"Battalion commander, what should we do? Looking at the group of devils who passed just now, I'm afraid that the first battalion will not be able to hold it now. ”

Yao Gang said with palpitations, the group of devils who passed from the mountain just now really scared him, he had never seen such equipment in his life.

"What to do? It's definitely a rescue! Bai Lin's kid and a brigade of devils are right, not to mention that the bone marrow oil is squeezed out. If we don't save him, this kid will be really cold! ”

……

Eight hours after Nishimura was killed, the second batch of Japanese reinforcements finally arrived.

However, this group of devils is really a bit special, and their total number of soldiers is only about 400 people, compared with the results achieved by the first battalion just now, such a number does not seem to be terrible.

The second group of devils did not march directly towards Nanzhang, but crossed the Nanzhang River upstream and stationed on the east bank of the river to face Nanzhang.

"Bang dang! Bang Dang! ……”

Six field guns lined up neatly on the beach at the bay of the river.

The Japanese army had already built a pontoon bridge on the Nanzhang River, and various types of artillery were also erected on the forward artillery positions on the west bank of the river.

Spread over the entire east and west banks of the river for nearly a kilometer, the Japanese army's six field guns and 12 suppressive artillery pieces of various types formed an artillery position.

A whole reinforced artillery squadron, more than 200 people were busy at this time, busy adjusting the angle of the artillery, and the direction of the black and faint muzzle was the town!

This reinforced artillery squadron can be said to be one of the most important hole cards in Sasaki's hand, and this time in order to completely defeat the 424 regiment, Sasaki did not hesitate to transfer this hole card in his hand.

"Report to the captain, the deployment of the troops has been completed, and we are waiting for your instructions!"

Listening to the report of his subordinate Jun Cao, the squadron leader of the first squadron of the Xitian Infantry Brigade glanced at him approvingly and nodded in affirmation.

"Very well, remember, we just need to do a good job of guarding the rest of the day, and we don't need to do anything superfluous."

As he spoke, the pencil in the squadron leader's hand began to keep recording in his notebook. The enemy in front of him is extraordinary, although he may already be a sick tiger at this time, he is still a tiger after all.

"Squadron leader, the Nishimura Brigade has been completely wiped out, do you think we will win the next battle?"

Listening to Jun Cao's question, the squadron leader's brows subconsciously furrowed.

"Why do you ask? Don't you have any faith in the Empire?! ”

Listening to the squadron leader's questioning, Jun Cao was timid in his heart at that time, but he still had the courage to continue.

"But it is a fact that the Nishimura Brigade was completely wiped out. Squadron Leader, this is something that has never happened. ”

Jun Cao's words made the squadron's brow furrow even tighter, because the words of his subordinates gave him nothing to refute. It is an objective fact that the Nishimura Brigade was completely annihilated, and they did not only receive this information through the radio waves, but also saw it with their eyes.

But soon the squadron leader's brow relaxed, because the position behind him gave him infinite confidence.

"You're a little scared, look behind us. Any idea what they are? They are cannons known as the god of war!

Although I am a little reluctant to admit it, I still have to say that any charge, fortification, or tactics in front of them are meaningless!

With these artillery, which represented the great strength of the empire, the Eighth Route Army had nothing to fear. You have to remember that our duty this time is to guard the artillery positions.

Keeping in mind the lessons of the Nishimura Brigade, the safety of artillery positions must be guaranteed at all times. ”

The squadron leader admonished Jun Cao with a serious face, but just as he finished his admonition, a gunshot suddenly rang out in his ears.

"Smack!!

A loud and crisp gunshot rang out, and the sound of the shot was heard far away in the dawn night sky.

"What's going on?! Did the town's Eight Ways organize an attack?! After a bloody battle, do they still have the strength?! ”

The squadron leader said with a little shock, and hurriedly raised the telescope. Having defeated a large group in a frontal battle, he had to face up to the enemy.

To his surprise, the Eighth Route Army in the direction of the town had no intention of attacking. Instead, they appear to be shrinking their defenses.

"It's not the eight roads in town...... Did someone from our soldiers go off the rails? ”

The squadron leader's eyes suddenly became stern, scanning the soldiers in the defensive position. It seems to him an unforgivable thing to go off at such a time.

However, after scanning around, the squadron leader did not find anything.

"Smack!!

At this moment, another gunshot rang out, and this time the squadron leader heard it clearly. The sound of gunfire came not from the opposite town, nor from their own positions, but from behind their backs!

……

"Captain, what are you going to ......?"

Fujino looked at Sasaki in surprise, and he vaguely guessed the reason why the other party suddenly changed into a military uniform.

He had been a little restless since the report of the destruction of Nishimura came here four hours ago, and after the report of the artillery squadron came just now, Sasaki couldn't sit still.

Fujino knows that what Sasaki wants to do most now is to rush to Minami! And at present, it seems that the other party is already starting to prepare!

"That's right, I'm going to Jingcheng, just like you think. I didn't expect the 424th Regiment to give me such a big surprise, and the Nishimura Brigade would be wiped out there. Sure enough, I still have to finish it myself. ”

Sasaki arranges his collar in front of the dressing mirror and says with a calm expression. It seems that what he is saying is a very ordinary thing.

"Captain! If you leave your post without permission, who will be in charge of the overall situation here? Our enemy is the entire 344 Brigade, and the whole Jizhong needs you to make decisions. ”

Fujino said half-truthfully, Sasaki suddenly decided to leave the Deer Command, which made his heart feel some inexplicable emotions: a little excited, a little happy, a little frightened.

"I had no interest in a battle without any suspense, and during these two days, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were frequently moved, and I was very restless. And our preparations are becoming more and more adequate.

For me, the outcome of this battle is already a foregone conclusion.

This kind of thing that is not challenging does not arouse my impulse. On the contrary, I was looking forward to the battle that took place in Nanshan.

The safety of Jingcheng is related to the Zhengtai Railway, and the development of the Nanzhang situation cannot be allowed to be left unchecked. After all, someone needs to solve it.

It's a battle that I can't see clearly, and the possibilities seem endless. If such a soldier can defeat him with his own hands, it should be a blessing for me. ”

Sasaki finished arranging his clothes, loaded the carefully wiped pistol on his body, and tightened his gloves with his fingers crossed, as if he was about to leave the headquarters to gather troops.

"But, Wing Commander......"

Fujino looked at Sasaki's back and couldn't help but open his mouth again. However, what he didn't expect was that the other party turned around and stared at him tightly.

"Excuse me from this kind of polite remark, I'm not a fool. It's clear that you're just a puppet, and it's the boy who holds the thread behind you, and he seems to be eager to meddle in this plan.

You help me tell him that it's okay to take advantage of this battle. I don't care if he interferes, on the contrary, I'm happy for him to do it.

I can give him the battlefields north and west of the deer, and there is no problem in giving him the credit. I have only one request, and that is to clean up the cleanest stage for me.

Is this clear enough? ”

Looking into Sasaki's eyes, Fujino nodded subconsciously.

His back was covered with sweat at this time, and it was not until this moment that he completely understood that although his nominal superior, although he looked stubborn, stubborn, dull, and stupid, he was extremely sober in his heart!

After saying this, Sasaki ignored Fujino and walked out of the headquarters on his own.

"Yue Siliang, that's your name, right? What a nice name, I remember. And, I'll engrave it on your tombstone with my own hands. ”
