"Report, a wing of the devil's advance force has arrived on the other side of the Shahe River and is camping." Watermelon came over and said.

"Well, the situation of the follow-up troops should also be kept an eye on, let's go." Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, let's shell the gathering place of the devils, while the devils are not guarding now." He Wenbin said.

Chen Fei shook his head and said, "Forget it, we are shelling now, the devils may cause casualties, but it will not be very large, but it will cause a lot of pressure on Zhao Liu, who is guarding the front line." “

Chen Fei's headquarters was located under a boulder on the left side of the mountaintop, a good natural bunker.

Chen Fei looked at his watch, and it was 4:09 in the afternoon.

"Xiaomei sent a report to the 5th Theater of the Military Commission at the same time, and the advance force of the devils reached the other side of the Sha River." Chen Fei said to Liu Xiaomei.

The Communications Office and the Command are together this time.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei sat back and immediately sent a report.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhu, have the people withdrawn?" Chen Fei said.

"Some of them were withdrawn, but many of them were closed, and there was really no way." Zhu Guowen said with a wry smile.

"It's always the people who are unlucky in the war, let's just do our best, but when the cannon fires, as soon as the people are killed and wounded, there will be more people fleeing, and we have to be prepared." Old steamed bun said.

"Well, the old steamed bun chief is right, the division commander also told me yesterday, don't worry, I will arrange it." Zhu Guowen said.

At this time, the sound of gunfire was heard outside the town.

Zhao Liu was guarding the front line, and saw more than a dozen devil scouts crossing the bridge, and they were shooting indiscriminately.

"The guards are in a platoon, one person is aiming at one and one is ready." Zhao Liu said softly.

A platoon of guards next to it made a sound of pulling the bolt of a gun while waiting for the order of the regimental commander.

Zhao Liu also picked up the Zhongzheng rifle and aimed at a devil Cao Chang, "Bang~" Suddenly "Bang Bang Bang~" The gunshot rang out, and more than a dozen devils fell to the ground one after another.

"Transfer!" Zhao Liuda shouted, and the independent regiments all hid in the anti-artillery holes.

Unexpectedly, the devils drove up two big trucks as cover, pulled up a dozen dead devils and left, as if nothing had happened, and the devils did not attack or shell.

"Division commander, the sixteen people of the devil scout were blocked by the independent regiment." Wang Liang came over and said.

"There will be no rest for the night." Chen Fei said softly, he looked at his watch, and thought, isn't the devil in a hurry to capture Shahe Town? It seems that Chief Li's intentions have not been exposed, which is a good thing, but the independent division is in trouble.

In the middle of the night, a sudden cannonball whizzed by, breaking the silence.

"Shelling, shelling!" The commanders shouted loudly.

"Boom, boom~" A huge explosion sounded in Shahe Town, and suddenly the flames soared into the sky and the smoke was thick.

"The devil's artillery wing has arrived." Chen Fei said to himself.

"Looking at the posture, seventy or eighty cannons rang out, and there were thirty or forty heavy cannons." Old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei nodded.

The shelling started at 12 o'clock and lasted until dawn, without stopping, and the devil had made a lot of money.

As soon as the devil's artillery fire stopped at seven o'clock, the devil's infantry began to rush to Shahe Town, rushing to the second bridge, some were ready to seize the bridge, and some rushed to the river to prepare to throw rafts to force the crossing.

"Throw!" Zhao Liuda shouted, throwing out a grenade, only to see thousands of grenades flying towards the devil's charging formation, and the grenades exploded in the middle of the devil.

"Dada~"

"Bang bang bang~" Zhao Liutuan's counterattack began.

Any battle requires the courage of the warrior and the proper command, and the interception and charge are the same.

Zhao Liu, as a veteran of the Battle of Songhu all the way, still pays attention to the changes in the battlefield, and this time he blocked the attack by the river, which seemed to occupy the terrain, but in fact it was blown up by the artillery bombardment at night, mainly because the time was too short, the soldiers were tired, the trenches were dug unsatisfactorily, and the casualties were also very large.

The devil's attack on Shahe Town is a brigade, as soon as the fight started, I knew that I had encountered the ** elite, this light and heavy machine gun was very orderly, and the most important thing was not afraid of artillery bombardment, and the shelling at night seemed to have no effect.

In fact, only the soldiers who are in it know whether it has any effect, but after surviving this shelling, the recruits have also become veterans. Also thanks to the importance attached to heavy artillery by the independent division, the fighters were often taught the actions of defending against artillery and surviving under artillery fire.

After several hours of shelling, although the regiments still suffered a lot of casualties, they at least survived.

The devil's charge was chaotic and did not disperse, and each of them advanced step by step under the leadership of the captain, thanks to a small river blocking it, otherwise with the devil's accurate marksmanship, it is estimated that the independent regiment would not even be able to raise its head.

"Grenades, grenades!" Zhao Liuda shouted.

At this time, the grenade came into play, not only killing the devil but also exploding in the river, causing fog and interfering with the devil's shooting sight.

Aoki Sakurada looked at the attacking soldiers, although the casualties were not large, but the offensive effect was not obvious, they were all shooting at the Chongqing Army on the bank of the river, but as a top student of the Imperial Army University, he quickly found the weak point of the Chongqing Army's defense.

"Nan Shengjun, do you see? There, the river was narrow, and the guns of the Chongqing army were weak, and the Oda Wing was ordered to attack with all its might. Aoki Sakurada pointed to the left.

Chief of Staff Nansheng held the binoculars and looked at Aoki Sakurada's fingers, "Yes, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I'll go and inform you right away." Nansheng replied and immediately went to inform him.

The place Aoki pointed to was a bend in a river where the river was very shallow and could wade across the river, but the river beach was large, and Zhao Liu arranged two Czech light machine guns and a platoon of fighters here.

After receiving the order, Captain Oda immediately ordered the mortars to shell the mouth of the river, and arranged for a brigade to attack with all its strength on the artillery point.

As soon as the Zhao Sixth Regiment heard the sound of dense mortars, it immediately understood that the corner might be a breakthrough for devils, and immediately ordered the eight mortars of the Independent Regiment to counterattack, and asked the commander of the first battalion to bring a company to support.

As soon as the devils poured into the river beach, they were hit by mortars, and there were heavy casualties, but the attack did not stop, and the two light machine guns guarding the river crossed and fired desperately, and the devils were many, and the machine guns kept stopping, and they were immediately targeted by the devil's grenadier "Boom Boom ~" A series of shells hit over, and the two light machine guns were immediately blown up.

"Grenades!" The platoon leader shouted, and dozens of grenades flew out of the position and exploded in the devil formation, but they could only snub the devils.

When the devil rushed across the river, the commander of the first battalion and the commander of the second company arrived, and the dense bullets of submachine guns and light machine guns were fired at the devil.

Soon, the devil's team was disrupted, and the formation was disrupted and bombed by mortars, and they were soon driven back to the other side of the river.

Chen Fei took the binoculars and watched the battle by the river, it had been almost an hour and a half, the two sides were inseparable, and the real blood was like a river.

The battle by the river also looked at Tom, Charlie was dumbfounded, this is the Chongqing Army mentioned by the military department, such a force, may even be its own American ** team, and the Japanese attack is fierce, not afraid of life and death, but it is similar to what the military department said, but how long will this battle take to end.

How long can a regiment of the Chongqing Army hold on?

Chen Fei looked at his watch and said to Wang Liang next to him: "Call a group to respond." ”

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and immediately went to inform him.

"Division commander, what's wrong, didn't the independent regiment fight very well?" Zhu Guowen said strangely.

"The devils will withdraw immediately if they can't attack for a long time, and they will prepare for shelling." Chen Fei said.

"Oh!" Zhu Guowen looked at Chen Fei with admiration, he was really a battle-hardened general, and he had touched the devil thoroughly.

"How is the situation of the common people?" Chen Fei asked.

Zhu Guowen was stunned, as soon as the devil's shelling began, he had already forgotten about it.

Chen Fei was stunned when he saw him, knowing that this matter was explained in vain.

"Commander, I'll go right away." Zhu Guowen replied embarrassedly.

"I don't have to take care of these people, it's just that these people will be caught by devils if they run around, and it will leak the deployment of my division." Chen Fei said with a frown.

Zhu Guowen was stunned again, and immediately understood that what Chen Fei said was right, and immediately ran down the mountain.

"Didn't you say you went to the battlefield? It's still so tender. The old steamed bun said.

"It's different, he's too excited, damn, forget it, later, let him go to fight with the devil in the street, and if he has done it face to face with the devil, he will calm down." Chen Fei said.

"You, it's all crooked." Old steamed bun said.

As the two were talking, the gunshots were reduced, Chen Fei picked up the binoculars, looked at them, and immediately said: "Wang Liang told Zhao Liuto withdraw, move fast, the devil's artillery fire is coming." ”

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied that he immediately picked up the phone and immediately notified Zhao Liu.

Zhao Liu was actually shouting: "The devil has retreated, pay attention to the anti-artillery!" “

At this time, the communication corps came over and said, "The division commander told us to withdraw!" ”

Zhao Liu immediately shouted again: "Withdraw, after the first camp, move fast!" ”

After a while, the devil's artillery attack began, and the earth-shattering artillery sound made the riverside position a mess, if it hadn't been withdrawn quickly, it is estimated that there would not be many people left in the independent regiment at this time.

"Zhao Liu, you go to the Zhu family ancestral hall, that's what I left for you to keep." The old dog touched Zhao Liudao.

"Okay!" Zhao Liu didn't talk nonsense and led the troops to the Zhu family ancestral hall.

The fierce artillery fire fought for another hour, Aoki Sakurada looked at the smoke in front of him, he thought that the land by the river was soft, and no matter how much he dug an anti-artillery hole, he couldn't withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery, he took out his command knife and shouted: "Assault!" ”

Suddenly, the devil infantry shouted in unison: "Onboard!" "The whole brigade began to move forward.

The assault easily crossed the creek and advanced into the town, and the troops entered the town from all sides like mercury.

"Boom~"

"Mines!" One of the devils shouted, and several devil infantry were blown down, and the explosion was like a signal, and the gunshots immediately rang out.

"Dada~"

"Bang Bang Bang~"

"Tutu Tu~"

At 11 o'clock at noon, the devil fully entered Shahe Town.

The battle was as Aoki Sakurada had predicted, and the Chongqing army resisted desperately in the town.

"Your Excellency the brigade, the follow-up troops have arrived, and Your Excellency the division commander said that you want tank support?" Nan Shengjun came over and said.

"Not for the time being, depending on the situation, but build a bridge first, just in case." Aoki Road.

"Hey!" Nan Shengjun replied and immediately went to make arrangements.

"Report to the division commander, the follow-up troops of the devil have arrived, and it is estimated that there are two divisions, forty or fifty thousand people, and more than a hundred tanks." Watermelon came over and said.

"The devil moves quickly, and we are under a lot of pressure." Chen Fei said with a frown.

"Xiaomei sent a telegram to the 5th Theater and the Military Commission, and the devils have already formed an encirclement of our division." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei replied.

"General, aren't you worried at all about so many Japanese troops?" Tom said.

"I'm worried, but there's no way, this is the task of our independent division, to block the devils and attract the devils, so that Chief Li of the 5th Theater can fight a beautiful counterattack." Chen Fei smiled bitterly.

"General, as soon as the devils surround us, we will have no way to retreat, what should we do?" Charlie worried.

"Encirclement is surrounded, there is no way to retreat, there is no way to retreat, let's fight the devil here, Tom, Charlie, you can leave quickly while the devil is not surrounded now, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to leave." Chen Fei said.

Tom and Charlie looked at each other, and Tom said, "General, we can also fight, please give us guns!" ”

"Hahaha, pistol? Forget it, forget it, it's not your turn to fight, you just need to watch the battle here, don't worry, the devil has nothing to do with us. Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Report, Chief Li's telegram!" Xiaomei said.

"Read!" Chen Fei said.

"The counterattack is being arranged, I hope we will defend Shahe, and Chief Li has reported to the Military Commission to repay our division." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Bao Gong? There's a fart, and I don't know how many brothers died in this battle, damn, they're all good soldiers. Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said.

In Shahe Town, "Quick, ignition, ignition, the devil is coming." The commander of a regiment and a battalion shouted, and a soldier immediately lit the fuse, and eight explosive packs were placed on both sides of the alley.

Until now, there are still mines, all of which are made of grenades and explosives.

Seven or eight devils came in quickly with guns and "boom~" A loud bang collapsed, and the stone walls on both sides collapsed, not only killing the devils, but also sealing the alley.

"Hit~" The commander of the first battalion swept with a submachine gun while shouting, and the follow-up devils were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

"Let's go!" When the battalion commander saw that the devils were all defeated, he immediately shouted.

Hitting and leaving is the characteristic of street fighting, otherwise you will soon be surrounded by devils who rush to hear the gunshots.

Suddenly the town was filled with gunfire, and the Separate Regiment and the First Regiment began to engage the enemy in full force.

"Quick, quick, go here, quick!" Zhu Guowen led the teaching team to urge a group of people to rush to the mountains like ducks.

The common people have been killed and injured countless times, and now the town has been bombed by the devil's heavy artillery, and there is no way to escape.

At the mountaintop headquarters, the watermelon ran in and saluted Chen Fei: "Division commander, the devil has taken a detour, and now the Mantou Mountain is basically surrounded, and our reconnaissance battalion has retreated into the mountain." ”

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Watermelon, help the heavy machine gun battalion withdraw to the mountain, they have a lot of equipment and heavy ammunition, you can help well." ”

"Yes!" Watermelon replied and immediately went down the mountain again.

Chen Fei looked at his watch, it was almost three o'clock, and he said to Liu Xiaomei: "Send a report to the 5th war zone, the devils have completely surrounded Shahe Town." ”

The old steamed bun next to him said, "Chief Li must know about our situation here." ”

"I just want to send telegrams to make Chief Li feel a little more oppressive and tell him that we have a hard time." Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

"125mm howitzer, the devil deployed so quickly." Tang Bing said.

"After the shelling, the devils are going to attack Mantou Mountain, Tang Bing, you go and command." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Tang Bing replied and immediately jumped out of the headquarters.

As soon as Chen Fei picked up the binoculars and was about to take a look at the situation in the town, Zhu Guowen ran in.

"Commander, the people have fled into the mountain, there is a cave behind, the entrance of the cave is very small, and the inside is quite large······" Zhu Guowen came in and said.

"Well, Deputy Division Commander Zhu, the town is fighting fiercely, you take the teaching team and the special agent battalion to support, and tell Liu Meng behind the town that he is ready to respond at any time." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhu Guowen replied loudly, he can finally fight the devil head-on.

Chen Fei looked at Zhu Guowen's back and thought to himself, hoping that he could give full play to his abilities in the battle.
