"The devil plane is coming~" shouted the fighters at the observation post.

Chen Fei ran out of the trench when he heard the sound, he raised his binoculars and saw that he saw six small black dots flying from the edge of the sky, which was gradually approaching.

"Inform the troops that the devil plane is coming!" Chen Fei immediately shouted.

Wang Liang next to him immediately replied: "Yes!" He turned around and went back to Command.

The battle at Mantou Mountain had just stopped ten minutes ago, but I didn't expect the heavy artillery to come, and the plane arrived.

This time, it was the devil who imported the BR20 bomber from Italy to bomb Mantou Mountain, which is a big guy and can hold nearly 4,000 kg of aerial bombs. After a while, bombs fell from the sky, instantly enveloping Shahe Town and Mantou Mountain in a rain of bullets.

"Boom, boom~" The continuous explosion sound surprised Chen Fei, he had been bombed by devils and planes before, and this time it was the first time that such a strong bomber was shaken, and his heart was shaken like a drum.

"Damn, the devil's plane is getting more and more powerful." Chen Fei scolded.

"It's a Japanese heavy bomber." Tom said.

"! Even the planes are heavy and light, let's do it, there's nothing, we can only stand up, what the hell is this! The old steamed bun also scolded angrily.

Chen Feitie's face was blue, and he grabbed the phone to connect with Liu Mengtuan.

"Hey, hey, Liu Meng?" Chen Fei said with a snarled voice.

"Yes, yes, Commander." Liu Meng shouted back.

"How's it going? Are there any casualties? Chen Fei said.

"No, our group is in a straight line along the foot of the mountain, and the devil threw it in the town." Liu Meng replied loudly.

"Okay, that's good, the old dog regiment and the Zhao Sixth regiment don't have to retreat to the mountain, they are also defending your defensive line, be careful that after the devil plane drops the bomb, the shells come again." Chen Fei shouted.

"Understand, don't worry, division commander, I have discussed it with the old dog and Zhao Liu, each of them will guard for a while, and the extra brothers will go into the anti-artillery hole to rest, and prepare to take turns." Liu Meng shouted.

"Okay, you can't withdraw without an order!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Meng replied.

Chen Fei put down the phone, felt a lot more relieved, and his face improved a lot.

"Thanks to a group of sappers who dug trenches in such a short time, they defended the artillery holes, otherwise this mountain ······ It's all shocking to watch. Chen Fei said.

"The defense is also a test for the engineering troops." Old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei nodded.

One after another, the devil's bombers threw bombs recklessly, and the explosions were louder and louder.

"Xiaomei sent a report to the Military Commission of the 5th Theater that our unit was bombed by Japanese heavy bombers, and Shahe Town was about to be lost. Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei replied and immediately began to send a report.

The plane dropped the bomb with great power and wide lethality, but the time was short, and after a quarter of an hour had passed, the devil's plane wagged its tail and flew away.

As soon as the plane left, and five minutes after it stopped, the devil's heavy artillery, mountain artillery, howitzers, and mortars began to fire one after another. The shelling began at seven o'clock and did not end until ten o'clock sharp.

"Liu Xiaomei quickly picked up the troops and asked about the losses of the troops, is the communication still smooth?" As soon as Chen Fei heard the sound of the cannon, he became relieved and immediately said to Liu Xiaomei.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei replied that she immediately began to contact the troops.

Chen Fei picked up the binoculars and walked out of the headquarters, only to see that there was gunpowder smoke everywhere in front of him, and Shahe Town under the mountain was even more serious, there was not a good house, and there were burning fires everywhere.

"Da Da Da Da~" The first to meet the enemy was Tong Kaituan, the gunfire was the signal, and the other two aspects began to slowly intensify the gunfire.

Chen Fei is not worried about Mantou Mountain, although it has been shelled for so long, the stones on the mountain are hard, and there is a lot of wood, so there is still a set of fortifications for the engineer battalion.

There is only one trench in the defense of Shahe Town, and there is no second-line support, so if the devils break through a little, it will be difficult to escape.

At this time, Shahe Town also ushered in a lot of pressure.

"Tanks, tanks are up!" Liu Meng shouted.

More than a dozen Type 97 tanks of the Japanese army appeared on the ruins of the town of Shahe.

Chief of Staff He Wenbin has been waiting for a long time, and five 37 anti-aircraft guns have been hiding in the grove behind Liu Meng's regiment.

"Steady! Steady! Fire! He Wenbin waved his hand and shouted.

"Tom tom!" Five slender shells hit the five tanks at the front of the devil.

Suddenly three tanks were hit, caught fire and exploded.

"Reload!" He Wenbin shouted.

The artillerymen immediately began to reload and aim again. "Tom tom tom ~" was another burst of shelling, this time it was all hit, a few minutes of effort, eight Type 97 tanks stopped on the battlefield, some were still exploding and burning, some were motionless, and it is estimated that the inside had exploded.

The devil did not retreat at all, and the remaining tanks accelerated the pace of attack, machine gun strafing, and artillery bombardment all hit the 37th anti-aircraft artillery position, but He Wenbin camouflaged the 37th gun, and there were woods blocking it, so the devil's attack effect was not great.

At this time, the devil's infantry followed behind the tank and threw out artillery shells.

The 37 anti-aircraft guns suddenly lost their accuracy.

"The devil is coming up, put the tanks in, and the heavy machine guns will hit the infantry!" Liu Meng, who was on the front, shouted, the battle suddenly entered a white heat, there were too many tanks, there was always experience, Liu Meng and several regiment commanders knew that as long as the tank was brought in, it could be blown up.

It's just that Shahe Town now has broken walls, waste wood, masonry and all kinds of broken furniture, and 15-ton tanks can't drive fast.

Zhao Liu ran to Liu Meng's headquarters and said: "Lao Liu, give me the mortar, I will also bring the six mortars of the old dog, I am afraid of hitting the bombardment." ”

"Artillery, artillery, go with Commander Zhao, Lao Zhao remembers to return me." After Liu Meng finished speaking, he went to the heavy machine gun position.

The mortars of the independent division except for the artillery battalion, which had a few heavy mortars, and the other regiments were all small caliber of 82 mm, but more than a dozen of them were concentrated and even killed two Type 97 tanks, and the devil infantry was also wiped out.

Aoki Sakurada has been watching the changes in the battlefield ahead, and the more he looks, the more frightened he becomes, eighteen tanks and two infantry brigades can't attack.

"Nan Shengjun, order all the tank brigades to attack, except for the Hashimoto Wing as a reserve, the other troops will follow the tanks." Aoki Sakurada gritted his teeth. He knew that if the troops could not break through the front line of defense, they would have to go to court-martial.

"Hey!" Chief of Staff Nansheng nodded fiercely.

For a while, a large number of devil troops gathered at the entrance of the town, and the chief of staff of Nansheng looked at the imperial soldiers, drew out his command knife and shouted: "Assault!" Then the command knife pointed forward.

A large number of devils followed the tanks forward and attacked.

Aoki Sakurada watched the troops advance, and immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "Order the artillery to cover the nurse and soldier assault." ”

As soon as the devil's style of fighting that was not afraid of death came up, the three regiments immediately felt that they couldn't stand it, and each regiment organized death squads to hold the explosives bag and fight desperately.

Chen Fei looked at the battlefield under the mountain, and his heart tightened, this is an unbearable rhythm, but now he can't withdraw, if he withdraws one, other troops will definitely be surrounded by devils, and even 37 guns can't be withdrawn, otherwise the devil's tank attack will speed up.

Chen Fei looked at his watch and it was almost two o'clock, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, picked up the phone and connected to Liu Meng.

"Liu Meng, let the old dog regiment and Zhao Liutuan withdraw, you cover, the two regiments withdraw, you block, be careful!" Chen Fei said.

"Don't worry, division commander, I promise to complete the task." Liu Meng shouted. After speaking, he put down the phone and smiled bitterly, it seems that this time he has explained here.

Chen Fei hung up the phone, his heart was also sore, he took the submachine gun and said to Wang Liang: "Notify the guard battalion, go, go and answer!" After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the headquarters, and outside, gunshots and artillery rang out one after another.

"Go and inform the independent regiment and withdraw!" Liu Meng shouted to the correspondent.

"Yes!" The correspondent replied that he would arrange it immediately.

The chief of staff next to Liu Meng was stunned, as soon as the two regiments on the left and right withdrew, they would not be wrapped up by devils, Liu Meng looked at the chief of staff, and said with a smile: "Follow the division commander to fight in the south and the north to kill the devils, I, Liu Meng, am worth it, you take the guard company to withdraw, leave some seeds for our second regiment, the division commander will not blame, by the way, let the 37 artillery also withdraw, stay for a long time, Chief of Staff He is dangerous." ”

"No, regimental commander, you withdraw, you withdraw! I'll take my brothers to take it, quick, quick! The chief of staff said anxiously.

Liu Meng smiled again and said: "The division commander personally called me, I can't leave, I got your heart, good brother, go quickly, quickly!" Liu Meng said as he pushed the chief of staff out of the command room.

"Guard company and chief of staff, hurry~" Liu Meng shouted.

The chief of staff gritted his teeth and jumped out of the trench with the guard company.

"Brothers, kill devils!" Liu Meng shouted, while playing a Czech-made "Da Da Da Da~" and shot at the devil.

When Lao Gou and Zhao Liu heard that the correspondent came to inform them to withdraw, they were stunned, thinking to themselves, the division commander had made a big decision this time.

"Withdraw?" He Wenbin was also stunned when he encountered the report of the chief of staff of the Second Regiment.

"Damn, dismantle the cannon, move fast!" He Wenbin scolded.

The artillery movement was quite fast, in the blink of an eye, the back of the cannon barrel, the back of the gun barrel, the back of the gun wheel, waiting for the migrant workers behind the hillside to quickly run over and carry the shells.

"Let's go!" He Wenbin shouted, this is depressed.

Chen Fei waited for the troops to withdraw down the mountain with a gun, looked at the hillside, the crowd was surging, and immediately shouted loudly: "Prepare to respond, look at the heavy machine gun, don't let the devils follow!" ”

The engineer battalion had already dug the trenches, and Zhao Liu led the troops to rush into the trenches first, followed by the old dog.

Chen Fei saw He Wenbin approaching, and shouted: "Old dog help, quickly pull the staff in!" ”

At this time, the devil had already discovered that the Chongqing army on the opposite side was evacuating, and immediately ordered the tanks to stop, and the opposite hillside bombarded, and the artillery withdrew There were two 37 guns here, but He Wenbin was pulled into the trench by a few soldiers of the old dog guard company.

Chen Fei saw that the troops were almost withdrawn, and said to He Wenbin, Zhao Liu, and the old dog: "Defend it!" After that, he went back to the headquarters without looking back.

The three looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

At this time, hundreds of people jumped in from the left side of the trench, it turned out that Zhu Guowen led the teaching team to cushion the evacuated troops, and when he saw that the troops began to evacuate, he kept watching the evacuated troops jump into the trenches, and he understood that the division commander was going to sacrifice the second regiment to fight for the first brigade to block the attack.

"Where's the division commander?" Zhu Guowen ran over and said.

"Back to the headquarters, he said to defend it!" He Wenbin said.

"Oh, what are you doing around, set up your position." Zhu Guowen said.

The three of them looked at each other again, and they all dispersed, and the battle under the mountain was fierce all the time, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was dense and terrifying. Chen Fei returned to the headquarters and asked, "What is the situation with the regiments in front of Xiaomei?" ”

"The three regiments and the five regiments are all connected, and they are all blocking. The Sixth Regiment couldn't be contacted, so I called someone to see it, and it was supposed that the telephone line had been blown up. Liu Xiaomei said.

Chen Fei nodded, walked out of the command headquarters, and listened to the reversal of the six regiments, and the gunfire was very fierce, indicating that it was in a fierce battle.

Aoki Sakurada looked ahead with binoculars, the battle was still going on, and the front unit covered the retreat of many personnel, which made him very annoyed, but also helpless.

Now that he knew who his opponent was, the famous Chen Fei Independent Division, he knew that it should be no problem to eliminate part of the frontal Independent Division today, but it could only be like this.

However, he has a question, why did the Chongqing Army let such an elite army fight with them here, this is obviously not common sense, now the imperial army is surrounding this mountain and destroying the independent division is only a matter of time, and why the independent division does not withdraw, there is only one explanation, drag them down, and the Chongqing army can mobilize more troops for counter-encirclement.

"Nan Shengjun, order the troops to speed up the battle, and be sure to annihilate the defending enemy in front as soon as possible." Aoki Sakurada Road.

"Hey!" Chief of Staff Nansheng replied and immediately personally supervised the battle.

"The signal corps receives the division and regimental headquarters." Aoki Sakurada said to the communication soldier behind him.

After a while, the communications soldier pulled the phone over, and Aoki Sakurada took the phone and thought about it, and immediately reported to the division commander what he had discovered.

When the division commander heard Aoki Sakurada's report, he was stunned at first, and then he thought about it seriously and immediately said, "Got it!" With that, he hung up the phone. He also had to report to the Commander of the Circle.

The battle at Mantou Mountain has not stopped since the devil's shelling, although the battle did not use the death squads, but the regiments are almost over, the combat losses are very large, especially the grenades, the three regiments are in short supply, and Lao Zhangtou keeps sending people to various places.

"Hey, Liu Xiaomei? Immediately sent the engineer battalion over, and several trenches in the Luziheng regiment were collapsed by devil shelling. Tang Bing shouted as he connected to the headquarters.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei replied.

Liu Xiaomei glanced back at Chen Fei, Chen Fei nodded, and Liu Xiaomei immediately picked up the phone again and contacted the engineer battalion. Although the engineer battalion did not fight, it had been hiding in the pine forest on the edge of the mountaintop, and when Guo Xiangwei, the commander of the engineer battalion, received a call from Liu Xiaomei, he immediately waved his hand, only to see fifty or sixty soldiers carrying the cut pine trees on their backs and running towards the position of the Sixth Regiment.

Lu Ziheng's regiment is now in a hurry, and several parts of the position have been bombarded by devil shells, not because the fortifications are not built well, but because the devil artillery hit accurately, and three shots exploded directly in the trenches, and many soldiers died, and even the telephone lines were blown up. As soon as the engineer battalion arrived, he insisted that the soldiers of the engineer battalion filled a vacancy, and the battalion commander Guo was so angry that he scolded his mother.

"Division commander, the phone of the sixth regiment has been connected, and the commander of the regiment said that the position has been knocked down by artillery in several places, but now it has been made up by the engineer battalion." Liu Xiaomei said to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei nodded, looked at his watch, it was almost half past four, in another hour and a half, it should be dark, and it should be no problem to guard Mantou Mountain today.

"Send a report to the 5th Theater of the Military Commission, Shahe Town is lost, retreat to Mantou Mountain, and hold on for up to 24 hours." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei replied.

"General, do you have any good idea of how the battle is raging now?" Charlie was worried.

"How? Hehe, no, now this kind of battle can only be fought desperately, what tactics are there. Chen Fei smiled bitterly.

Charlie nodded in agreement.

"I'm useless here, I'm going to help Lao Zhangtou." The old steamed bun got up and said.

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just nodded, and there was nothing to say about it now.

The guns outside are getting more and more intense, and the devil should want to take Mantou Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise it will be even more impossible to take Mantou Mountain as soon as it gets dark.

"Two, don't come out at the headquarters, shrunnel is flying outside, and the two are injured, I'm not good at dealing with them!" Chen Fei smiled at the two Americans.

Charlie and Tom both nodded, they thought about it, the devil broke through Mantou Mountain, and they had to protect several female warriors.

Chen Fei picked up his gun and ran out of the command headquarters and ran to the position of Zhao Liu, the old dog regiment, he was thinking about the battle situation of Liu Meng's regiment under the mountain.

"How's it going?" Chen Fei said as he looked down the mountain with a telescope.

"There were soldiers rushing to the tank just now, the gunshots were still ringing, the division commander, Liu Meng is still there, do you want to send your brother down to answer it." Zhao Liu said softly.

"Look again, as soon as it gets dark, I will immediately send someone down the mountain to respond." Chen Fei also said softly.

In fact, everyone knows that if you send someone down the mountain to pick it up now, it will be impossible to pick it up, and you will take the answering soldier on board, the reason why Zhao Liu said this is also because he wants Chen Fei to feel better.

"Deputy Division Commander Zhu, you take the teaching team to support the Sixth Regiment, the Sixth Regiment is under great pressure." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Deputy Division Commander Zhu replied and immediately saluted Chen Fei.

"!" Next to him, Zhao Liuda shouted, hugged Chen Fei and fell to the ground.

Zhu Guowen was stunned for a moment, "Deputy division commander, this is the battlefield, how many devil sharpshooters are staring at our officials." Zhao Liu got up and sat on the ground and said.

Chen Fei patted his clothes and said, "Pay attention next time, you can't salute on the battlefield!" ”

Zhu Guowen scratched his scalp and smirked: "I'm sorry, I ······"

"Let's go!" Chen Fei said.

Zhu Guowen nodded, beckoned, and ran to the position of the sixth regiment with the teaching team.

Zhao Liu smiled and said: "This Deputy Division Commander Zhu is actually very brave in the battle, and he also covers us in the afternoon." ”

"Well, I hope he stays alive." Chen Fei looked at the mountain downhill.

Zhao Liuleng paused for a moment and also looked down the mountain.

The sky gradually darkened, and the gunfire at the bottom of the hill gradually subsided.

Chen Fei silently shed tears, Liu Meng's good brother, he said in his heart.
