While the devils were suspending their attacks, Qiu Feng called all the commanders of his three infantry companies, a heavy machine gun platoon, an artillery platoon, and a special service platoon to him and held a brief meeting.
"First of all, I have good news for you." Qiu Feng said, "I just received an urgent call from the headquarters, just five minutes ago, the main force of the military division has been completely annihilated in the corner of Daping Town, and now the main force of the military division is already rushing in the direction of Badou Town, and it will be able to arrive as early as this evening, and the wolf tooth team will arrive earlier." ā
Hearing the news, the six troop commanders burst into cheers.
"Great, it's no problem now, the Kumamoto division is dead!"
"If you just stick to it until late in the evening, then there's no problem at all."
"Just hold on until the evening? It was so boring, I thought I would have to keep it all day. ā
"Who says it's not, the main force of the military division is coming so soon? We haven't had a good time yet. ā
Several troop commanders were in a high mood, and Qiu Feng was in a good mood, but he still poured a basin of cold water on the troop commanders under him, and said at the moment: "Don't feel too good about yourself one by one, don't think that the Kumamoto Division is not performing well in Daping Town, and underestimate their combat effectiveness." ā
After a pause, Qiu Feng said again: "I tell you that the combat effectiveness of the Kumamoto Division is still very strong, especially the soldiers of the Kumamoto Division, which are quite heroic, and you must have a deep understanding of this, because last night the devils used human body to roll thunder to carry out sweeping operations, and you all saw it with your own eyes." ā
Xue Laoqi and the other troop commanders nodded approvingly.
Indeed, the devil soldiers of the Kumamoto Division are still very heroic.
"So we must not be careless." Qiu Feng continued, "Especially now that the main force of the Kumamoto Division has arrived, because this also means that in the later attack, the devils will not only have large-scale artillery support, but also tanks to help the battle, and the pressure on our guard battalion will be greatly increased." ā
After speaking, seeing that the expressions of several troop commanders were slightly heavy, Qiu Feng said again: "But don't worry, the devil's artillery shells are limited, even if there are tanks, it is impossible to break through the defense line of our guard battalion in half a day, let us use the guns in our hands to tell the little devil that this road in Badou Town ...... Be obstructed! ā
"Yes!" Several troop commanders responded with a bang.

When Akikaze summoned several of his unit commanders for a meeting, Sano Torota was also summoning several infantry captains such as Yuto Tabuchi for final mobilization.
Sano Torota's voice was a little solemn and a little hoarse.
"Just now, the division commander asked me to go over to give me a lecture, and although we did not perform well and failed to complete the task, the division commander did not say anything, let alone criticize us for this." Sano Torota swept his grim gaze over the faces of several infantry captains, and then continued, "But I can feel the disappointment in the heart of the division commander. ā
"Yes, disappointed, the division commander is very disappointed with the performance of our 23rd Infantry Wing."
"Actually, I'm even more disappointed with the performance of our team! As a heroic unit with a fine tradition in the Great Japanese Empire, in such a small place as Badou Town, a battalion of the Dameishan Independent Regiment blocked a day and a night, and if such a record is to be spread, our 23rd Infantry Wing will lose face. ā
After a slight pause, Sano Torota said again: "Or to put it more seriously, if our 23rd Infantry Wing causes the Kumamoto Division to fall into trouble in Hachito Town or even destroy the entire army, then from now on, we will never think about raising our heads in front of our colleagues!" We, the capital team, will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever! ā
The 23rd Infantry Wing is the official number, because it is formed in the capital county, so it is also called the capital wing.
"Cause the entire Kumamoto Division to be wiped out?" Tian Yuan Yuto said awe-inspiringly, "Captain, this is unlikely, right?" ā
"Don't think it's impossible, nothing is impossible." Sano Torota said, "When Central China sent a dispatch army to sweep Dameishan for the first time, who would have thought that the Himeji Division, known as the 'Steel Army', would be completely annihilated by a little-known New Fourth Army unit? But it just happened! ā
Several captains were silent for a moment, if it weren't for Sano Torata's reminder, they would have really forgotten about it.
"So......" Sano Tiger's too cold gaze swept over the faces of Yuto Tabuchi and several other captains, and said, "I just want to tell you, this time no matter what, you have to break through Badou Town before dark, even if you fight the entire infantry wing, you will definitely take Badou Town, the soldiers are all gone, the officers, the officers are all gone, you go on top, if all the captains of your infantry brigades are broken, then it should be me as the wing leader!" ā
Speaking of this, the faces of several infantry captains immediately became solemn, because from Sano Tiger's cold tone, they heard the determination to die! In other words, this time they really have to fight hard, if they can't defeat Badou Town before dark, Sano Tiger is really likely to lead several of their infantry captains to launch a decisive charge!
"That's all I have to say, I won't say anything else." After saying that, Sano Tiger raised his right hand high, then clenched it into a fist and shouted, "Great Japanese Empire, long live!" Your Majesty the Emperor, long live! ā
"Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Japanese Army! ā
Several captains immediately followed the shouts, accompanied by fanatical shouts, an incomparably fanatical aura spread in the wing headquarters in an instant, and then, several infantry captains returned to their units, and brought this fanatical breath to the infantry brigades below.
As soon as several infantry brigade commanders were in place, the 6th Field Artillery Wing began shelling.
Thirty-six 75 mm caliber and 12 105 mm field howitzers hit rows of high-explosive shells at Badou Town and its outlying positions.
Unfortunately, the shelling lasted less than five minutes.
Because before the retreat, the 6th Wing of the Field Artillery had already used up almost all the shells, and now in the shelling of Badou Town and the peripheral positions, the 48 field artillery pieces fired a total of less than 500 shells, and in less than five minutes, the shelling was over, and after that, there could be no more artillery support.
It is also extremely miserable that a field division of small Japan, and it is also a permanent division, has fallen into such a miserable situation.
In World War II, the reason why little Japan and Germany were defeated was because their logistical support capabilities were far inferior to those of the Soviet Union and the United States, and in particular, the logistics support capabilities of the United States were even more decisive to those of Germany and Japan.
To get back to the point, after less than five minutes of artillery preparation, four Type 97 medium tanks and eight Type 95 light tanks led an infantry brigade of the devil to launch a group charge towards Badou Town, although the artillery preparation of the sixth wing of the devil's field artillery was very weak, but it was put into a tank squadron at one time, plus an infantry brigade, which was already a very rare group charge for the Japanese army!

Seeing more than a dozen tanks suddenly emitting black smoke, guiding nearly a thousand devils to pounce over, the officers and men of the third company of the guard battalion guarding the periphery of Badou Town were inevitably a little nervous.
Even Xue Laoqi, the company commander, was also a little nervous.
"Turtle son drops." Xue Laoqi took the muzzle of the box cannon and put the brim of his hat and said, "The little devil looks like he is really going to fight with us?" ā
Qiu Feng said: "Don't be afraid, the little devil's tank looks very fierce, but as long as you prepare in advance, it is not difficult to deal with, the political commissar with two thousand people, and the captain of the single brigade with more than a thousand militiamen from the single county militia brigade have been busy near Badou Town for such a long time, but it is not just laying mines." ā
Xue Laoqi said: "The battalion commander is talking about, anti-tank trenches? ā
"That's right, anti-tank trenches!" Autumn Wind nodded and said, "This thing is very effective against tanks!" ā
As he spoke, more than a dozen devil tanks that were swinging out in a row had already broken through to a distance of less than 200 meters from the blocking position of the third guard company, and the position of the third guard company was silent, and the devil tanks did not blindly fire their guns, but suddenly spit out black to continue to advance, and the devils who followed up did not rush to fire.
However, at this time, the two Type 97 medium tanks that were walking in the forefront suddenly sank and fell into the anti-tank trench dug by the people in advance! Moreover, the anti-tank trenches here are different from the anti-tank trenches dug by the three regiments in Puxian County to deal with the devil tank troops, and the anti-tank trenches here are wider and deeper!
The anti-tank trench on this side of Badou Town is more than four meters wide and more than two meters deep!
The drivers of the two tanks stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and the exhaust ports began to emit billowing black smoke, but it was useless, and I saw the tracks running rapidly, but I saw the flying sand whirring down, but I didn't see the tank climbing up from the trench.
The first two Type 97 medium tanks fell into the anti-tank trench, and the follow-up tanks hurriedly braked, not daring to drive forward rashly, what if they fell into the anti-tank trench again? As soon as the tank stopped, a brigade of devil infantry following behind also stopped, and the devil's offensive came to an abrupt halt.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Third Company of the Guards suddenly lifted their spirits, and Xue Laoqi said: "Turtle son, this anti-tank trench is really quite effective?" (To be continued.) )
