"Captain, the railroad ahead of us has been damaged, and there is no way for the train to move on."

Sasaki, who was armed with a combat knife, listened to the report of his subordinates, and his cheeks moved obviously, and he snorted coldly before he said again.

"I have long thought that since they can destroy the roads around Nanzhang, they will naturally be able to destroy our railways.

It's just that what is the point of this kind of small action, all the soldiers got out of the car and walked to Nanzhang! ”

After giving the order without hesitation, Sasaki picked up his sword and walked out of the carriage with a loud bang.

At this moment, gathered outside the carriage were the five hundred reinforcements that Sasaki had brought from the deer. With the direction of the deer as the main battlefield, Sasaki has already made arrangements for Fujino. It is precisely because of this that he can be so relieved to rush over with reinforcements.

"Wing Commander, a telegram from the Akiyama Artillery Squadron was under strong attack from the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and Squadron Leader Kawakami is leading the troops to resist stubbornly."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Sasaki's face did not show any surprise.

"The Eighth Route Army likes to keep reserve troops in combat, which is all in my expectation. It's just that to my surprise, they can defeat Nishimura with just one piece, and such a strong enemy must nip them in the bud. ”

"The Wing Captain is right, it seems that we should be careful in this battle."

Sasaki smiled lightly and comforted his subordinates.

"Koike, you're too nervous. Against the Nishimura Brigade, the Akiyama Artillery Squadron, and the Kawakami Squadron, all the forces of the 424th Regiment must have been expended, and now the south ridge can be said to have entered a balanced situation, and our arrival will certainly tilt the balance of victory in our side greatly.

Moreover, you have to remember that in the face of absolute strength, even the most ingenious strategy has no meaning. Don't forget, in addition to our reinforcements, I also have a strong hole card. In front of the Matsuura army, any infantry was just a rake. ”

Sasaki's words made a relaxed expression appear on Koike Nakasa's face.

"What the wing captain said is extremely true, he is thinking narrowly, Captain Matsuura's strength is beyond doubt, and my worries seem to be stupid."

After that, Sasaki and Koike looked at each other and laughed, obviously having great confidence in the "Captain Matsuura".

"By the way, Koike, what's the name of the nearest village to the east of us?"

After laughing for a while, Sasaki suddenly asked such a question that seemed completely unrelated to the topic just now. Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment, and then opened his notebook and looked at it.

"Tell the co-captain, that village is called Xuzhuang, and it is a village of more than 100 households. Do you have any questions?"

Sasaki was relieved, and said with great confidence in his eyes.

"The railway was destroyed for more than a dozen kilometers, which is not something that a small group of enemies can do. There must have been a large number of Eighth Route Army forces or local civilians involved. Xuzhuang is the largest village in the vicinity, with a population of several hundred, and if the Eighth Route Army was active here not long ago, it would definitely settle there in the middle. ”

When Koike heard Sasaki say this, he immediately realized.

"So that's the case, then Captain Wing, do you want us to investigate this Xuzhuang thoroughly?"

Sasaki raised his hand to interrupt Koike's words.

"No need, the Eighth Route Army won't be waiting for us there after doing these things, they're not so stupid. There is no need to waste time here. But one thing must be remembered, the Eighth Route Army is very good at using the countryside to broaden its living space. The reason why they have been able to develop is inevitably related to the rural areas. Therefore, if the imperial army wants to completely solve the scourge of the Eighth Route Army in the future, the countryside will be an important stage for playing with them. ”

……

In the headquarters, Yue Siliang was carefully wiping his knife with tweezers and alcohol cotton, this knife has some similarities with the Japanese army's war knives and sabers, but in some places it is different, its blade is longer, the back of the knife is thinner, and the handguard is more comprehensive.

This knife is very precious, it was given to him by a revolutionary predecessor when Yue Siliang was still in Yan'an, so Yue Siliang cherished it very much. It also has a very nice name: Snow Maple Knife.

"Regiment commander, according to the forward report, the latest reinforcements of the Japanese army have arrived in the territory of Lunan. The number of people is about 500 people, and they settle near Xuzhuang. ”

At this time, Wang Shuangyin walked in and said solemnly and with a little excitement. Hearing Wang Shuangyin's report, Yue Siliang's movements in his hands were stunned.

"Well, it's so fast, I just don't know who is leading the team this time"

"The scout observed that the Japanese commander this time was a large sa.

As soon as Wang Shuangyin said this, Yue Siliang completely stopped the movements in his hand.

"Da Zuo said that he is a wing captain, it seems that Sasaki Shiliu himself has arrived, and it really gives me a lot of face for Yue. How's Li Jie's side?"

Wang Shuangyin hurriedly continued to report.

"On the third battalion's side, almost the entire battalion is engaged in the battle, and it is expected that in another twenty minutes it will be able to take the artillery position of the devils. But at the same time, the Japanese troops in many villages on the east bank of the Nanzhang River are also moving in the direction of Nanzhang at this moment. ”

"The old monkey is fighting hard, but he is ruthless, in this case, we can't sit anymore, the first and third battalions are desperate. It's time for the second battalion to do the same. ”

As he spoke, Yue Siliang stood up and stretched his limbs.

"Notice, all parts are ready, we're going to meet old friends for a while."

……

"Boom!"

In the field artillery position on the river beach, four 70mm mortars with six reworked field artillery guards were frantically shelling. Every 300-meter position of the Kawakami squadron seemed to have become a mortar impact point. Akiyama was almost crazy at the moment, completely unconcerned that his shelling might hurt his side. In his opinion, everything can be sacrificed, but the field artillery positions must be held.

Although history has proved that the Type 92 infantry gun is the most successful artillery of the Japanese army, in the eyes of Akiyama at this moment, field artillery is the essence of the Japanese artillery.

A 2.5-kilogram shell fell to the ground, and three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and two devils were blown up two or three meters high, and after falling to the ground, the flesh and blood were blurred beyond recognition.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

The mortars were constantly firing, and almost every shot would cause casualties to the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army!

"! Battalion commander! Are these little devils human beings or animals? They even beat their own people! ”

The squad leader in charge of the pistol commando team has changed his mood from anger to confusion at this moment, and he is confused whether these guys in front of him are a group of people or beasts.

"Whatever he is! Even if these beasts are youkai, they must all be killed! Rush! Our target is the artillery position! ”

Li Jie gave himself a death order, and he also gave a death order to his soldiers! At this time, he had no way back. Rush, nine deaths! Retreat, you will definitely die!

More than a dozen people from the pistol commando team tightened their shoulder straps, put the butt of the gun against their shoulders, and plunged diagonally into the position from the northeast, rushing towards the devil artillery position without hesitation!

The Mauser pistol, with the butt, was largely used as part of the submachine gun, and the twenty-round long magazine exploded here with a huge firepower advantage.

As soon as a dozen commandos entered the position, they immediately looked like Wensi tofu silk melted in the water, and the dense bullets and scattered formation made the commandos form a huge fan and advance towards the artillery position.

"Rush !!"

There was only one thought in the hearts of all the commandos, that is, to rush forward without hesitation, and nothing could stop them. Even if a comrade-in-arms fell beside them, it could not make them stop for a moment.

Because they understand that the sooner they destroy the devil's artillery position, the sooner this battle can end, and the sooner they can end the sacrifice of their comrades!

……

"Da Da Da ......"

At the edge of the position, the three motorcycles were still struggling to walk, and the light machine guns were constantly spraying bullets.

"Fire! Destroy those motorcycles! ”

Akiyama gave the order sharply, he knew that at such a time, those light machine guns that seemed to be extremely poorly aimed were a great threat.

People, in fact, are not a strong creature, and many times their reason cannot overcome their sensibility.

Perhaps the light machine gun will hardly cause too many casualties to their own side while moving, but once it is specific to everyone in this battlefield, they will not be able to tell how much of a threat the light machine gun is, and their attention and firepower will naturally tend to the side with strong firepower.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

The poor road conditions near the position, coupled with the poor performance of the motorcycles and the relatively low quality of the riders, finally destroyed the three motorcycles.

But in the midst of destroying those mobile firepower points, Akiyama was shocked to find that a group of Eighth Route Army assault teams had begun to organize river crossings!

The Nanzhang River is less than 10 meters wide, and it is a dry season, so the water level of the river reaches its chest at its deepest point.

"Rush!"

The commando team pulled out a front of more than forty meters, and at this moment everyone had only one thought in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Jie's heart couldn't help but think of the time when the troops were in Zhangjiawan, which was also an exercise with swimming content. The victory of the 1st battalion, which was the attacking side in that exercise, gave Li Jie great confidence.

"Rush !!"

"Smack!"

A soldier was shot in the chest and disappeared into the not-so-turbulent river.

"Rush !!"

"Boom !!"

Two more fighters disappeared with the splash caused by the shells.

"Rush !!"

The commandos still have only one thought in their hearts, as long as they don't die, they will continue to rush forward!

"Boom!"

Although Li Jie was lean, his arm strength was extremely large, and a grenade was thrown more than forty meters. The three devils flew up with the explosion volley, and the mortar mount immediately separated, and the barrel of the gun bent slightly to the side.

"Rushing over ......"

Li Jie screamed strangely, stepped on the other side of the river with one foot, and poured the bullets from the gun with all his might.

The commandos who were following Li Jie also drew their grenades at this time and started shooting at the same time. And at this time, only six members of the assault team were still standing!

"Crossing the River...... It worked!!! ”
