War is cruel, whether it is offensive or defensive, there is always a price, and this price is life.

Chen Fei ordered two regiments and a teaching team to take advantage of the cover of artillery fire and began to advance towards the devil's defense line.

The heavy machine gun battalion, reconnaissance battalion, and guard battalion immediately filled the position, and Chen Fei meant that he must rush through the front battlefield and establish a defensive line in the town, so that the artillery battalion can also follow into the battlefield for support.

Stepping on the artillery point to charge is not the patent of the devil, Zhao Liutuan and the old dog regiment did not wait for the artillery fire to stop before they charged, and soon crossed the front battlefield, originally the devil relied on a dozen abandoned tanks as a cover to establish a machine gun position, but now they are all flooded by artillery fire.

"Stop, stop, mortars follow me, quick!" The old gun held a telescope, looked at the battle situation in front of him, and immediately shouted when he saw the two regiments rushing up.

The devils are also veterans, and now the time has come to fight hard, and there is no ambiguity at all, and as soon as the shelling stops, they all begin to fight back one after another.

Several soldiers had to be sacrificed before entering the town's two regiments and the teaching team, and it was also thanks to the fact that it was dark night, and the devil's marksmanship was a little poor, otherwise it would be really difficult.

"Grenade, blast me in front of this." Zhao Liuda shouted that as long as a broken land temple in front of him was occupied, the troops would have a support point. Otherwise, the troops would have to lie down in the ruins and advance.

"Spread out, spread out, don't get together, the devil has to go to Hades with a cannonball." The old dog shouted and crawled up.

At this time, I saw grenades like black crows falling next to the Land Temple, accompanied by bursts of explosions, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder was filled, blood, and stumps and broken arms were blown everywhere.

"Quick! Get in, get in! Rack up the heavy machine gun, quick! The old dog shouted.

Two regiments and four heavy machine-gun groups immediately came up, and they all seized the advantageous terrain and began to shoot.

"Tanks, tanks are up!" Zhao Liuda shouted, the Type 97 tanks that appeared at this time were the last five of the Aoki Regiment, and everything else had been withdrawn.

"Boom, boom!" The devil tank opened fire first, and the shells exploded in the stormtrooping formation of the two regiments, and all at once the casualties of both regiments increased dramatically.

Zhao Liu stared at the two big blood-red eyes, and he bit his lip angrily, and there was no good way.

"Hidden! Take cover! Several company and battalion commanders shouted one after another, and at this time, they fought hard with the devil and found death.

Just when the troops were in trouble, more than 200 people rushed out of the troops, holding explosives and grenades, desperately rushing into the devil tank. Thanks to the fact that it was dark night, the devil tank had a bad vision, otherwise more than 100 people would have to fill in cannon fodder.

"Avenge the regimental commander!" The chief of staff of the 2nd Regiment shouted, holding two explosives bags, pulled the fuse, and rolled under the tank.

"Boom!" A tank was blown up so that even the turret flew up.

"Avenge the regimental commander!" The remaining fighters of the guard company of the 2nd regiment shouted and rushed into the tank group.

The devil's tanks were all blown up.

The guard company of the 2nd Regiment was also killed, and so far, all the 2nd Regiment was killed except for a few wounded soldiers in the mountain medical center.

"Grandma's, kill! Kill! For the second regiment! Kill! Zhao Liu shouted desperately.

Instantly, the soldiers of the teaching teams of the two regiments shouted at the top of their voices: "Kill the devil for the revenge of the second regiment!" ”

The troops rushed out quite a bit at once, and finally gained a foothold in the town, and at this time the old guns and mortars from the artillery battalion also followed.

With the help of mortars, the offensive of the troops went much more smoothly.

Aoki Sakurada's headquarters. Nan Shengjun hurriedly ran in and said to Aoki: "Your Excellency, the progress of the Chongqing army is very fast, and it has entered the main street of the town, and we are fighting with them one by one. ”

"Strange, how can there be only one direction of attack, and the other three directions to besiege but not attack, what does this mean?" Aoki Sakurada was puzzled.

"This, this, could it be a conspiracy of the Chongqing Army?" Nansheng Jun said.

"Conspiracy? Now at this time, there are any conspiracy, they are all yang conspiracy, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of play. Nan Shengjun ordered the troops to hold on, we are fighting for time now, no matter what his conspiracy is. "Aoki Road.

"Hey!" Nan Shengjun replied and immediately went to the front to give an order.

Aoki Sakurada got up and looked at the simple sand table in front of him, thinking about how to break through, but there are Chongqing troops on all four sides, and the strength is unknown, except for the front of the battle, the other three aspects should be stepping up the construction of fortifications, and it will be difficult to retreat at that time.

However, after all, Aoki has been on the battlefield for a long time and understands that the battlefield changes rapidly, don't look at the lively battle ahead, but it is difficult to say whether he can withstand the full force of the Aoki Brigade.

Aoki Sakurada smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: Chen Fei, Chen Fei, I want to see if you can trap me.

Chen Fei looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and felt a tingling in his heart, the loss was too great, was his decision wrong, but ~ but~ but ~ Chen Fei really couldn't think of a reason to make himself feel relieved.

He Wenbin came over and saw Chen Fei looking ahead, and handed over a cigarette: "Commander, smoke one!"

Chen Fei turned his head to look at He Wenbin, took the cigarette, He Wenbin immediately helped him light it, Chen Fei inhaled vigorously, and then spit out, as if he was not spitting out smoke but turbidity in his heart.

"Division commander, our division is loyal to the country, and there is nothing wrong with losing troops and generals, brothers can understand, you can't think about it!" He Wenbin said seriously.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said that he understood, Chen Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost 5 o'clock.

"They are all brothers who get along day and night, who is replaced, not only the loss of the country, but also the pain of my Chen Fei, very helpless, brother!" Chen Fei looked at He Wenbin and said softly.

"Division Commander, you~" As soon as He Wenbin said halfway, Chen Fei raised his hand to stop him: "You still go to the artillery camp, it's almost dawn, let me bombard the devil-occupied area." ”

"Yes!" He Wenbin replied immediately.

Chen Fei looked at the battlefield in front of him, and thought to himself, where the devil will break through, it is possible in all four aspects, the devil can tear a corner, and he can fly away, at that time, the independent division is no longer capable of pursuing.

"Report!" At this time, Chen Fang ran into the trench from the mountain out of breath.

"What's the matter? Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, the Military Commission sent a telegram ordering our division to quickly withdraw and move to Zouma Town in the west." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei immediately frowned and said: "How to withdraw, now that I am entangled with the devil, I can't withdraw, I can't withdraw, call back, I am in a fierce battle with the devil blocking and covering the troops, it is impossible to withdraw." ”

"Division commander, this is the second telegram from the Military Commission, the first telegram from Director Liu is in a fierce battle with the devils, and the second telegram still asks to withdraw immediately." Chen Fang said.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, so anxious, and immediately said, "Did you say what the reason is?" ”

"No, just withdraw immediately." Chen Fang said.

Chen Fei immediately understood when he heard it, and said: ", now you want me to maintain my strength, it's really, call back, I'm already fighting with the devil, and I can't withdraw in a short time." “

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied and called back immediately.

"Watermelon, watermelon!" Chen Fei shouted.

The reconnaissance battalion commander jumped into the trench and shouted: "Division commander! ”

"The above requires us to move to Zouma Town, you take the reconnaissance battalion to touch the terrain immediately!" Chen Fei said to the watermelon.

"Yes!" The watermelon replied and immediately rushed out of the trench.

The battle ahead is still extremely fierce, Zhao Liu and Lao Gou feel that they can't attack, many of the fighters' attacks are numb, there is no tactical action, it is estimated that as soon as the battle stops, they will fall asleep on the spot.

It was not possible to fight like this, Zhao Liu, Lao Gou and Guo Liang worked together to defend on the spot, and sent a signal corps to inform the division commander.

As soon as Chen Fei walked into the Second Regiment, the original headquarters and deputy division commander were saying the order to transfer to Zouma Town, when a signal soldier ran in and said, "Report!" ”

Chen Fei looked at the correspondent of the independent regiment and immediately said, "Say!" ”

"Division commander, our regiment commander said that he couldn't attack, and now he is defending on the spot, what should I do?" The correspondent said.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, although the two regiments and the teaching team suffered heavy losses, there were also nearly 3,000 people, how could they not attack as soon as they rushed into the town.

Zhu Guowen next to him immediately interjected: "Division commander, if I go up, I will definitely be able to attack the center of the town." ”

Chen Fei thought for a while, shook his hand and said to Zhu Guowen: "Forget it, since you can't attack, let's defend, tell Zhao Liu that if the devil counterattacks violently, they will fight and retreat." ”

"Yes!" The correspondent replied and immediately went out.

"Division commander, why don't you attack, we can attack in four aspects at the same time, I don't believe that I can't eat this devil." Zhu Guowen said with bloodshot eyes.

"The brothers are too tired, since Zhao Liu and the old dog have said it, it must be that they are in difficulty, and they are going to start using their brains in the battle now." Chen Fei said.

"Use your brains, teacher, it's all like this, everyone is working hard, there shouldn't be any good way." Zhu Guowen said.

Chen Fei looked at Zhu Guowen and said, "Do you really think that we can wipe out these devils in front of us?" Do you know how many devils there are and how many fighters we still have? ”

"This ······" Zhu Guowen was stunned, the division commander didn't mean to wipe out all the devils, so he didn't understand what was going on with such an attack.

"Now the devils are fighting a blocking war, they are all veterans, they understand that they will buy time for their main forces, and they will resist desperately, but when they retreat, it will be a different matter, I just want to tear a piece of his flesh off during their retreat." Chen Fei said.

When Zhu Guowen heard this, he immediately understood, and looked at Chen Fei with admiration: "Division Commander, your idea is too powerful, I'm afraid that I will go to military school for a few years in vain." “

"This can't keep up with the military academy, this is something that can only be learned on the battlefield, and you will understand this truth if you fight a few more battles." Chen Fei said.

Zhu Guowen nodded.

Aoki Sakurada listened to Nan Shengjun's report, got up and looked at the sand table and said: "The Chongqing army in front can't attack, our retreat and attack direction is the front, they are too tired, this is our opportunity, only by attacking from the front will Chen Fei be caught off guard." I guess Chen Fei didn't even expect that we would retreat from a frontal attack. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency is still an hour away from retreating, and I'm ready to start arranging." Chief of Staff Nansheng said.

"Okay, let's arrange it, as soon as the time comes, as long as the defense line is broken, Chen Fei will not dare to chase after him, besides, it is dawn, and our fighters can be dispatched to support at any time." Aoki Sakurada said confidently. After all, he thought that Chen Fei's independent division was not invincible in the world, but it was only stronger than the ordinary regular Chongqing army, and it was much worse than his battle-hardened Aoki Brigade.

The sky gradually brightened, although it was spring, but the cold wind was still very biting, especially early this morning.

At 6:50, suddenly the devil's attack became fierce, and a large number of devils poured out of the town, and under the cover of mortars and grenadiers, they rushed regardless of casualties.

Zhao Liu immediately shouted when he saw it: "Old dog, Guo Liang, withdraw!" Remove! The devil fought back, I'm back, quick, quick! ”

Thanks to the mortars of the old guns desperately shelling in the back, covering, otherwise they will soon be entangled by devils. However, the four heavy machine-gun groups all died to cover the retreat of the troops, but they bought five minutes of precious time for the troops of all directions.

As soon as Chen Fei heard the fierce gunfire in front of him, he immediately shouted: "The devil is about to break through, notify all troops to attack with all their might." ”

When Wang Liang heard this, he immediately lit up a drill monkey, and the drill monkey dragged a sharp sound into the sky, and suddenly exploded, and a large number of red stars scattered at the same time.

Gunfire rang out from all directions, and the final battle began in the cold wind.

Zhao Liu jumped into the trench and immediately said, "Damn, back and forth, my independent regiment can be regarded as an explanation." "Only about 800 people returned to the trenches of the independent regiment.

"Don't talk nonsense, the devil is coming." Chen Fei shouted.

"Grenade ready!" Zhu Guowen shouted.

A pair of dirt-stained hands pulled open the grenade fuse.

"Throw!" Zhu Guowen shouted.

At the same time, all the artillery of the artillery opened fire.

Aoki Sakurada followed the troops, but was also shocked by the battle ahead, such a large casualty, how many people could his brigade rush out in the end.

But the order was given, the troops were already attacking with all their might, and it was impossible to change tactics at this time, so they could only grit their teeth and fight to the end.

Guarding in the trench is the remnants of the teaching team of the old dog regiment of the Zhao Sixth Regiment, as well as the guard battalion, the heavy machine gun battalion, and the engineer battalion.

"Dada~"

"Boom Boom Boom~" The battle became more and more intense, and there were more and more corpses of devils in front of the position.

Aoki Sakurada ran to the front line to see that the positions of the Chongqing Army were lined up in front, and it was impossible to rush over, so he immediately ordered the troops to turn to the left, passing through the gap between the attacking troops of the Chongqing Army on the left and the frontal enemy, and as soon as the order was given, the troops began to change the direction of the attack.

"Smoke bomb cover!" Nansheng Chief of Staff shouted.

Suddenly, smoke bombs exploded.

As soon as Chen Fei saw the devil's smokescreen, he immediately understood that the devil wanted to break through the gap.

"The artillery adjusts the firing position, Chief of Staff He is fast, the devil wants to break through from there." Chen Fei shouted and pointed with his hand.

"Yes!" He Wenbin, who was in the distance, looked at Chen Fei and replied loudly.

The attacking force on the left was the Zhao Dadao Regiment, which was more than brave and less flexible, and the devil used two squadrons to contain the Zhao Dadao Regiment.

A large number of devils and Zhao Dadao's regiment broke through in the gap between two streets.

"Division Commander, I'll go after you!" Zhu Guowen shouted.

Chen Fei glanced at it and said, "Chase a fart, order the troops to occupy Shahe Town and annihilate the remaining remnants of the enemy." ”

Zhu Guowen was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Yes!" ”

Aoki Sakurada braved the artillery attack, and finally stood out of Shahe Town, he took the remnants of the army to run out of the three miles and looked, he was really speechless, more than 10,000 Aoki brigades, now there are only more than 3,000 people left, what mortars, heavy machine guns are gone, and even the crooked handles are less than five.

The way back is still so far, I don't know if there are any responding troops in front, but after going back, I can confess that I was attacked by several times his Chongqing army. After all, it was to block the main force, but the 10,000-strong veteran was gone, and he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

At 10 a.m., Chen Fei's Independent Division finally annihilated all the remnants of the enemy in Shahe Town.

Chen Fei ordered the troops to assemble, and the remaining 4,783 soldiers of the division were all assembled in the threshing floor of Shahe Town, including 168 seriously wounded.

"Brothers have worked hard, our independent division has done its best for the party-state, and has been loyal to the chairman, but the devils have only been repelled by us, and there are still many devils occupying our country, let's not talk about the big truth, but without us, the devils will drive straight in, when the time comes, Xi'an, Chongqing, and Chengdu will all be under the iron cavalry of the Japanese army, more of our parents, brothers and sisters will be slaughtered, more land, and cities will be trampled, I, Chen Fei don't want to be slaves of the country, I don't want to do it! Then my brothers will definitely not do it, we are fighting hard today for the sake of our next generation to live a better life in the future! Chen Fei shouted with tears in his throat, no one could understand the pain in his heart.

The soldiers of the independent division all looked at their division commander and listened carefully, and those who fought together were very easy to get excited, after all, the blood and corpses on the battlefield can make people crazy.

And Chen Fei at least wants to make the fighters understand what they are fighting for.

There were no passionate shouts, only a pair of eyes that were watching seriously, and all the soldiers of the independent division were left with their eyes dry.

"Lao Zhangtou cooks the best dishes for the brothers, eats and sleeps, and sets off for Zouma Town at four o'clock." Chen Fei shouted.

"Yes!" Lao Zhangtou also replied loudly.

Chen Fei still wanted to say something, but looking at these tired brothers, what else could he say!
