On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, each company and battalion had their own dinner, and because of the tight war, there was no good wine and food, but the regiment still bought four pigs and a cow, and the squire in the town also made some fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, so that the soldiers could eat big fish and meat.

It was the first time for the independent group to celebrate the New Year, and everyone was beaming with joy and blessings to each other.

Although it was the New Year, Chen Fei still asked everyone to be vigilant, and there was a lot of light and dark double posts, and alcohol was absolutely forbidden.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the canal checkpoint of the bison actually intercepted a boatload of guns and ammunition, and the five personnel who pressed the boat resisted and were killed by the bison on the spot.

When Chen Fei arrived, the bison had already been counted, all of them were Japanese rifles and bullets, a total of 300 rifles, and 30,000 bullets, which made Chen Fei's second monk puzzled.

"Could it be that the Japanese army took advantage of the Spring Festival checkpoints to relax their vigilance and smuggle them to infiltrating troops or defectors to the enemy?" Chief of Staff He said.

"It makes sense, whatever happens to him, confiscate!" Chen Fei said happily.

At this time, Liu Xiaomei ran over and said, "Regiment commander, the commander of the 5th theater is in a hurry." ”

"What's going on?" Chen Fei said.

"Order our regiment to quickly reinforce Guzhen until the 59th Army arrives." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Okay, got it, the rat told the battalions and companies to go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, quick!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The mouse replied, turned and ran away.

After a while, the commanders of the various battalions and companies arrived at the regimental headquarters one after another.

Chen Fei saw that everyone was ready, so he took out the map drawn by Chief of Staff He and hung it up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a telegram from Chief Li of the 5th Theater, asking us to quickly reinforce Guzhen and wait for the 59th Army to arrive." Chen Fei looked at everyone.

"Guzhen is about a day and a half away, I took Zhao Liu's battalion to set off in advance, the first and second battalions to follow, the communication company, the heavy machine gun company, the artillery company in the center, and the third battalion in the back, but the commander of the Tong battalion wants to leave a company to garrison here, do you have any opinions?" Chen Fei continued.

"The head of the regiment, I'll take Zhao Liu to set off first!" Tang Bing said.

"No, I only know that the war is fierce, and I don't know what the situation is, so I'll set off first." Chen Fei said.

"Tuanza, I'll set off with you!" Chief of Staff He said.

"Okay, you come with me." Chen Fei looked at Chief of Staff He and said.

"Regiment commander, which company is better to leave behind?" Tong said blindly.

"Damn, the battalion commander asked me to arrange it myself." Chen Fei scolded with a smile.

"Ha~ha~ha~" Everyone laughed, making Tong blind scratch his scalp.

"It's still that the officer is promoted too quickly, and several bloody battles have caused this situation in many troops, and this is not the case with me." Chen Fei said secretly.

"Adjourn the meeting, Bison stays." Chen Fei said.

The battalion commanders of the various companies and battalions quickly dispersed and prepared to set off.

"Bison, you hand over the guns and ammunition to the old steamed buns, and take care of the communication company during the march." Chen Fei said to the bison.

"Yes, Commander, rest assured!" Bison Road.

At this time, the rat came over to help Chen Fei change into an ordinary soldier's uniform and put on a bullet bag, Chen Fei said while leggings: "The rat will also send a service soldier to Chief of Staff He, his hands and feet are sharp." ”

"Yes, regiment commander, there is a soldier named Zhao Yong in the second battalion, he has a good hand, and he is also smart, do you think it's okay?" Mouse Road.

"Okay, you can just do it." Chen Fei said.

At 8 o'clock, Chen Fei set off with the iron-blooded battalion.

On the way, he met Chief of Staff He, Chen Fei said: "Chief of Staff He, you will also change into a military uniform later, if you wear it like this, you will be targeted by the Japanese sharpshooters sooner or later." ”

Chief of Staff He was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, Tuanzao, I know." ”

Chief of Staff He said secretly: "I still have too little actual combat experience, I don't understand such a simple truth, and I still have to learn from the regiment commander, otherwise I don't know how to die." ”

The troops marched very fast, and by noon the next day, they had reached the outskirts of Guzhen.

Chen Fei took the telescope and observed that this solid town was as dangerous as the town of Liuliupu, and if the Japanese army attacked, it could only be hard-hit.

"Tuanza, this solid town is not dangerous to defend, let's dig trenches!" Chief of Staff He said.

"Okay, tell Zhao Liu to set up defenses in front of the town, and the mouse asked the guards to evacuate the people." Chen Fei said.

In the afternoon, when the battalions arrived, Chen Fei ordered the first battalion to dig trenches on the left side of the town and set up defenses, the second battalion to dig trenches on the right to set up defenses, and the third battalion to station in the town.

The next day, news came that Bengbu had been lost.

The Japanese 13th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Guzhen, the 13th Division committed a heinous crime in Nanjing, and slaughtered more than 70,000 people, Chen Fei was notified by the war zone and vowed to fight Yamada Daner, the 13th Division is the ace division of the Japanese army, and the Yamada Dan Second Wing has suffered heavy casualties after several battles in Nanjing, and the independent regiment has just been formed but has an independent battalion as the foundation and most of the veterans, and the two strong brigades met in Guzhen.

In the early morning of February 5, the Yamada Dan 2nd Wing arrived at Guzhen, and after a short period of repair, the attack began in earnest at 10 o'clock.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The 40-minute artillery bombardment left the forward positions of Guzhen in disarray.

"The devils are attacking, get into position, quick! Fast! Zhao Liuda shouted.

The position of the independent battalion had three lines of defense, and there were three heavy machine-gun positions on the left, center and right behind it.

The Japanese attacking team appeared, advancing rapidly in a straight line.

Chen Fei was at the command post in the town and looked at the battlefield with a telescope.

Chief of Staff He had been waiting for Chen Fei's order, thinking that Chen Fei should issue a combat order.

When the Japanese entered the 200 meters, the two sides quickly fired at each other, "Bang! Bang! Bang! "Bang! Bang! "It was quite a lively fight.

There are many veterans of the independent battalion, and the accuracy of shooting is very good, and it can reach a draw with the Japanese army, and there are casualties among each other.

As soon as the devil commander saw it, he immediately waved his hand, scattered the formation and attacked with all his might, and for a while, crane guns and grenadiers all came up.

Several sharpshooters of the separate battalion stared at the devil grenadiers and hit as soon as they appeared.

The light and heavy machine guns of the devils pressed the independent battalion, and the front-line positions were beaten so that they could not raise their heads.

Fortunately, there was second-line support, and the light machine guns also played a great role, as long as the devil's grenadier could not be fired, the machine guns of the independent battalion pressed the devils.

At this time, the devils stopped attacking and fired at the independent battalion at a distance of 100 meters, and at the same time the devil mortars began to fire at the positions of the independent battalion.

Due to the fast and fierce arrival of the devil mortars, the casualties of the independent battalion increased all of a sudden.

The devil stepped on the mortar bullet point and suddenly rushed forward.

Zhao Liu saw the devil coming through the observation post in the third line of defense, and immediately shouted to the back, "Heavy machine gun fire, fire!" ”

In an instant, "Da! Da! Da! "Three heavy machine guns dragged the flames and opened heavy fire on the Japanese troops.

"Call the artillery company for support, and leave after firing 5 rounds each." Chen Fei said to the mouse.

Soon the mortars of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment also exploded in the devil's attack formation.

"Rush with me, kill!" Zhao Liuda shouted.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The Iron-Blooded Independent Battalion began a full-scale counter-charge.

The devil's mortar has been hitting the forward position, and Zhao Liuyi charged ruthlessly.

The formation of the charge of the iron-blooded independent battalion is still grenades first, and the submachine guns keep up, and the infantry follows closely around the stormtroopers in the squad, and the stormtroopers are all squad leaders, deputy squad leaders, and have a lot of combat experience.

When the Japanese saw the independent battalion charging and wanted to fight with bayonets, most of them were killed and wounded, and the devils immediately retreated.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! The companies shouted loudly.

The independent battalion was also tacit and withdrew its positions like a tidal wave. ”

In less than a minute, all kinds of artillery fire from the devils came, extending from the front of the position to the position.

Chen Fei put down his binoculars, took out his cigarette and smoked it.

"Tuanza, what do you think of the independent battalion?" Chief of Staff He said.

"What do you think?" Chen Fei asked rhetorically.

"Very good, I admire it!" Chief of Staff He said.

Chen Fei didn't speak, bowed his head and smoked.

After a while, Chen Fei said: "You just have less actual combat, and you can catch up with them by killing a few more devils." Chen Fei got up and picked up his gun and began to inspect the battalions, preparing for the next fierce battle.

"Chief of Staff He, you go to the communications company and tell Company Commander Fang that our regiment has been in contact with the Japanese army, and ask her to report to the war zone and ask about the situation of the 59th Army at the same time." Chen Fei said to Chief of Staff He.

"Yes!" Chief of Staff He turned around and left.

Chen Fei came to Zhao Liuying and saw Zhao Liudao: "Insist on tomorrow, you must be careful at night to prevent the devil from sneaking attack, I really can't bear it in the afternoon, I will call the artillery company of the old gun to support at any time." ”

"Okay, I know, don't worry, can you ask Ding San to find a few people to help at night?" Zhao Liudao.

"I'll arrange it." Chen Fei said.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the large-scale Japanese charge began.

Eight 98 tanks were at the head, followed by two brigades of Japanese troops. Medium guns of various types attacked the entire fortified town without interruption.

Seeing the tank, Chen Fei picked up his gun and rushed to Zhao Liuying, and at the same time, the guard company also followed.

Chief of Staff He also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen Fei and told him to guard the regimental headquarters.

If other troops had been replaced, they would have retreated long ago, and the independent regiment had gone through the Battle of Songhu, and the Japanese army had seen a lot of such tanks and was more experienced.

But every time a tank appeared, the casualties of the independent regiment were very huge, Chen Fei thought about it again and again, he could only let the tank come in to hit the infantry behind, and then blow up the tank track.

The Japanese tanks advanced while firing, although they were not accurate, but they still hit the forward positions in dust, so that many fighters lost the opportunity to shoot, so they fired indiscriminately.

At 200 meters, the artillery company of the independent regiment began to support, and the artillery bombardment of the old guns, regardless of losses, disrupted the formation of the Japanese infantry, allowing the light and heavy machine guns of the independent battalion to fire a large area.

The devil was also stubborn, desperately attacking forward, and the first and second battalions on both sides of the 100-meter distance opened fire at the same time, knocking down a large number of Japanese infantry following the tank at once.

And the devil tank rushed forward on a rampage, and the infantry behind suddenly broke away from the protection of the tank and soon became the target of the first and second battalions.

When the tank entered 50 meters, Chen Fei waved to Zhao Liuyi, Zhao Liu nodded, and saw more than a dozen men running towards the tank with explosives bags suddenly burst out of the position.

Seeing this, the eight tankmen immediately ordered the machine gunners to open fire.

In an instant, more than a dozen men were all knocked down by tank machine guns.

"Ding San, Ding San is laying mines on the front line! Fast! Chen Fei shouted.

"Withdraw! All withdraw the second line! Chen Fei then shouted.

After a while, the devil tank rushed into the front-line position, "Boom! Rumble! Boom!" Ding San planted a large amount of explosives on the front line, and the grenade exploded.

All 5 tanks that stormed the position were blown away.

"Zhao Liu, blow it up again!" Chen Fei yelled at Zhao Liu.

More than a dozen fighters rushed to the tank from the second-line position, and due to the heavy dust and fog after the explosion, the tank machine gunner could not see the fighters who rushed up clearly, and all three tanks were blown up at the same time for a while. The infantry in the rear saw that all the tanks in front were blown up and became in a dilemma, unable to attack, and would be chased and beaten by the independent regiment if they retreated.

As soon as the captains of the two brigades of devils discussed, they gritted their teeth and rushed, and the co-captains behind also noticed this situation and immediately ordered the other brigade to rush forward as well

The sound of artillery, gunfire, explosions, many Japanese troops were already about to charge the first line of the road, and only the heavy machine gun of the independent battalion was left and was still firing desperately, while the soldiers relied on the bombed tanks to set up light machine guns to block the Japanese advance.

The Japanese grenadiers took advantage of the chaos to fire, and the light machine guns of the independent battalion were blown over one by one.

Chen Fei said to the mouse: "Go and tell the chief of staff, bring three battalions over for reinforcements, hurry!" ”

At this time, the devils had already rushed into the front-line position and started hand-to-hand combat with the independent battalion, and the sound of the fight was earth-shattering, and at this time, Chief of Staff He rushed over with two companies of the third battalion.

When Chen Fei saw that the reinforcements had arrived, he stood in the trench and shouted: "Kill me!" ~~~Kill! ~~~”

In an instant, the independent battalion position was full of killings, and the blind man Tong who rushed out held Thomson, and took the lead with five light machine guns to shoot non-stop, and quickly drove the devil down.

"Hold your ground, hold your ground!" Chen Fei shouted.

Because he saw that He Wenbing actually wanted to rush out of the position.

When Zhao Liu heard Chen Fei shouting, he immediately pounced on He Wenbing and said, "Chief of Staff, stabilize your position!" ”

He Wenbing raised his head and was stunned for a moment, nodded and held the flower mechanism to shoot desperately at the devil.

As soon as the devil retreated, a reinforced brigade had just arrived, and as soon as the two Japanese armies converged, they began to charge forward again, and their tactical literacy was very high.

The devils had reinforcements, and light and heavy machine gun grenadiers came up at the same time.

Thanks to Chen Fei shouting to stabilize his position, otherwise he would definitely be caught off guard.

"Mouse, the heavy machine gun called the bison also came up, and they all fought." Charge viciously.

"Yes!" The rat is about to go to town.

At this time, Chen Fei felt that the support of the artillery company was getting lower and lower, "Niu Tian go and see the situation of the artillery company!" ”

A communicator ran over and said, "Regiment commander, the second battalion has suffered heavy casualties, and their battalion commander asked if they could support?" ”

Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "There is no support, I really can't stand it, so I will withdraw to the town, and I will withdraw while fighting, and I will not be able to withdraw even if I am dead in the town." ”

"Yes!" The correspondent turned and went back.

Both sides kept firing at each other, trying to suppress each other's firepower, and the guards even brought into play the power of the original Ding San sharpshooter platoon, looking for gaps in the big battle, targeting commanders, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine gunners.

The Japanese army had no cover and even used the corpse as a cover, pushing the corpse to crawl forward, and the devil could not raise his head under the heavy machine gun of the bison, and the devil's heavy machine gun could only hide in the distance to cover the infantry attack, the light machine gun was useless, and the light machine gun squad of several people could not gather at all, and as soon as they got together, they were chased and beaten by sharpshooters.

Although the Independence Regiment had the upper hand, the Japanese mortars came up and bombarded the Bison's heavy machine guns, and the forward positions were scattered, and many soldiers were wounded by shrapnel and rubble.

"Report to the Captain! The old gun was wounded, there were only 6 guns left in the mortar company, and the grenadiers were fighting on their own! Niu Tian ran back to Chen Fei and said.

"The mortars were withdrawn, and the grenadiers all came to the front under the command of Ding San." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Niu Tian turned and ran away.

"Mouse! Rat! Tell the crooked reconnaissance company to prepare for cover, street fighting, go quickly! Chen Fei said.

It was only a matter of time before Chen Fei's position retreated, and the devil's infantry and artillery were combined, and the independent regiment would definitely not be able to stop it.
