Dare to be so presumptuous in the big purgatory of Hengyang City, and really think that Chinese soldiers are eating dry food. Li Tianxi saw those open-chested and sleepy devil soldiers under the big camphor tree from the telescope, and couldn't help but curse fiercely in his heart, but after thinking about it, this is fine, there is no need to fight an offensive battle with a board and an axe, and there will be fewer casualties in one regiment.

"Company commander, take your people up, I don't want to take prisoners." Li Tianxi was also deeply influenced by Sun Yumin, and although he was called a stuffy oil bottle by his close brothers, he was not polite at all.

The weather was really hot, and the soldiers' grass-green shirts were covered with a layer of white salt, and these respectable Chinese soldiers should certainly be the winners compared to the devil soldiers who took refuge in the shade of the trees.

Although the soldiers of the first company were already very cautious, the footsteps of more than 100 people were still discovered by a few slightly alert devil soldiers, and a devil who looked like a military Cao shouted loudly: "Who?" ”

In response to him, there was a crisp string of guns, which was not a formal sound, nor was it the sound of a Czech light machine gun, as the sharp knives of the first regiment of the new 34th Division, the company was all armed with American-made M1 semi-automatic rifles.

The shouting devil army Cao was beaten to the core, and the gunfire naturally woke up all the devils, but it was too late, and the guns in the hands of more than 100 people with a strong firepower advantage were fired, except for a small number of slightly clever devils who hid behind the big trees, most of them were killed on the spot.

Li Tianxi smiled, the assault of the first company was completed too perfectly, although a large factor in this was that the devil soldiers were too paralyzed and careless, but they were able to defeat the devils with lightning speed, and this result was still very satisfactory.

Li Tianxi's smile had just appeared, and it immediately became gloomy again, because the devil's heavy machine gun suddenly began to fire. Before the attack, he had carefully observed, the entire devil guard position was empty, the ground temperature was too high, and no one could lie on the ground where they could fry eggs.

The soldiers of the first company who rushed to the front were all knocked down by the Devil Type 92 heavy machine gun that suddenly opened fire. Fortunately, only one machine gun was fired, and it seemed that there was only one devil, because the machine gun only went off briefly and then died down again.

Veterans know that the devil's pheasant neck has a fatal weakness, that is, the bullet plate feed, unlike Makqin's bullet chain feed, if the secondary shooter and the shooter do not cooperate well, the power of the pheasant's neck is far less than that of Makqin. Just like now, it was obvious that there was only one person at the control of the machine gun, and this devil, who didn't know what the reason was, didn't know when he went to the guard position, caused casualties to the company that would have captured this place with zero losses. Fortunately, there is only this one devil who has slipped through the net, and if there is one more person, then I am afraid that I will have to pay some price in a row.

The first company was a sharp knife company, although it was caught off guard by this devil machine gun, and several soldiers were killed and wounded, but they quickly reacted, and several veterans quickly rushed to the side of the devil's guard position, and when the second shot rang out, they all turned into the trench. Entering the trenches, how could the lone devil machine gunner still have any chance of survival, several veterans were intent on torturing him, avenging the brothers he had killed and wounded, slashing this lucky and unlucky fellow with a knife, and the screams were so clear even in the explosion of the grenades.

At the same time that several veterans turned over the devil's position, the commander of a company took the lead in throwing grenades, since he was hiding behind a tree and resisting, he would eat a grenade feast. The soldiers of the first company followed the company commander and threw grenades, but these poor devil soldiers, who thought it was a comfortable errand, almost did not resist, and all of them died in the shade of this camphor tree.

After inspecting the battlefield and "confirming" that there were no more devils who were not dead, the commander of the first company made a safe gesture to the rear, signaling that he could come over, and then began to deal with the brothers who had just died in battle.

Li Tianxi stood up first, and was about to move forward, when he suddenly heard the familiar sound of screaming breaking through the air from the sky.

Devil's grenadier! Oops, there are devils behind this cordon.

This thought suddenly popped up in Li Tianxi's mind, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Hide! Take cover! ”

Let the first regiment play the forward, Dai Cunxiang always felt a little uneasy in his heart, he wanted to take the seventh regiment himself, but Li Tianxi's words were very real: "Deputy division commander, if you want to fight the battle of our division in person, then what else do you want our regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders to do?" If our division's battles allow the Seventh Regiment to fight the forward, then what else will one regiment do? ”

It is also true that since the beginning of the Battle of Shanggao, the first regiment has indeed been "left out in the cold" in recent years, and Li Tianxi said that although these are a little angry, they are not completely unreasonable, at least for the construction of the troops, let the first regiment be too "backward" to the seventh regiment, which is also something he does not want to see.

However, he just had an inexplicable worry, and after the group set off, this worry became more and more intense, and later developed into restlessness.

Dai Cunxiang was an excellent soldier and an excellent commander, otherwise how could he stand out among the many battalion and company-level cadres of the 20th Division, won Sun Yumin's appreciation, and became the most proficient and respected division commander of the 12th Army.

Maybe it was because of the sacrifice of Huang Wei and Wang Youcai that he had more worries about Li Tianxi, but no matter what the reason was, since he was worried, he had to do something, and it just so happened that Dong Wenbin came with a tank, and he came quickly after assisting the 62nd Army to capture the Ertang position.

"Wen Bin, I always feel that something is wrong, Tianxi's group has already attacked to the east, you have worked hard, immediately catch up with him to support him, and invite you to drink after the war for my brother."

"Sao Ji Gong, what are you talking about, what is the hard work of your own brothers, when you beat away the devils in Hengyang City, our brothers will drink him for three days and three nights!"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After Dong Wenbin repeated Dai Cunxiang's sentence of "one word is a certainty", he saluted him jokingly before turning around and boarding the tank.

Although he is a brigade commander, he likes the feeling of driving a tank car on the battlefield very much, although the engine will be very loud; Although the cartridge casings of the vehicle-mounted machine gun will fly around, and sometimes even bounce on the body to cause pain; Although the vehicle-mounted artillery will produce huge recoil when fired, and sometimes it will even make people bump into it, but these can't stop Dong Wenbin's love for tank cars.

In the past few years, he has tried every position in the tank, whether it is the commander, the driver, the machine gun shooter, the gunner and the loader, he can be very competent, and he is also familiar with the tank car.

But today, when he stepped onto the tank, his feet actually slipped, and the whole person slammed hard.

"Hell yes!" Dong Wenbin rubbed the painful place and scolded and opened the hatch.

When Dong Wenbin stumbled, Dai Cunxiang also made fun of it, but when the tank started, his right eyelid jumped a few times.

This is not a good sign, coupled with the previous worry about Li Tianxi's group, Dai Cunxiang immediately became anxious, trotted to stop Dong Wenbin's tank, and shouted as he ran: "Wenbin, come back!" Moon Bin, come back! ”

However, the huge roar of the tank engine drowned out his voice, except for the huge black smoke from the exhaust pipe and the yellow dust raised by the tracks to cover him, Dai Cunxiang was unable to do anything.

With this little episode, Dai Cunxiang became even more nervous, and he immediately ordered the Second Regiment and the Seventh Regiment to assemble and be ready to set off to support at any time.

Its practicality is not Li Tianxi's shout, at such a distance, even if his shout is transmitted, it is indistinct. The first company is a sharp knife company, how can it not be clear about the sound of the devil's grenadier throwing grenades, and at the same time as Li Tianxi shouted, most of them reacted.

The warriors under the camphor tree hid behind the big tree, and the warriors near the trench rolled into the trench, and the warriors in the open field, regardless of the hot ground, all fell to the ground.

Although Li Tianxi could tell that the impact point would not come to his side, he still commanded the follow-up troops and retreated to the place where he had just hidden.

Explosion, explosion, explosion!

The number of grenades thrown by the devil's grenadiers is really a lot, not only covering the devil's original warning position, but also covering those big trees.

There is more than one devil squadron here, so many grenadiers are obviously not what one devil squadron can have, and even a devil brigade may not be able to have so many grenadiers. Could it be that this neighborhood is a gathering place for the main forces of devils? It's impossible, there has been continuous reconnaissance during this time, if it is the gathering place of the devils, or the location of the headquarters of the devils, it should have been discovered a long time ago, if it is not detected, it is impossible for the devils to put only such a little vigilance force here!

Could it be that the devil had set a trap here early in the morning, just waiting for himself to jump, or that the attack order and plan of the military seat had been leaked, and the devil had rearranged heavy troops behind this guard position.

No matter which assumption it is, Li Tianxi knows that the battle in front of him is difficult to fight, and he is afraid that his own group will be disadvantaged.

"Signal troops, immediately go back and report to the deputy division commander, saying that when our unit attacked the devil's guard position, it was attacked by the devil's main force, and the specific strength is ominous for the time being." Li Tianxi only thought about it for a moment, and then gave an order to the communication soldier who had been following him.

"Regiment commander, a company is completely covered by artillery fire, what should I do?" The commander of the first battalion asked anxiously.

Li Tianxi didn't answer his words, just stared at the front, although in the direction of the grenade fire, he couldn't see the shadow of half of the devil soldiers, he still wanted to find out how many Japanese troops were there.

The company was not stunned by this sudden wave of grenades, although from time to time some soldiers were hit by grenade fragments, but the trench that was originally a guard position for the devil soldiers gave them hope to survive and persevere. First, the soldiers in the open space crawled to the trenches, followed by the soldiers under the camphor trees and climbed in the direction of the trenches, between life and heat, no one would not choose life.

The grenade bombardment lasted for several minutes, and after a short pause, under a few hillsides not far away, a few plaster flags were suddenly picked out, followed by many devil soldiers wearing steel helmets, rushing out with 38 big covers, and the bright bayonets reflected the light of the scorching sun, with a chilling shock.

There are at least two squadrons, and Li Tianxi can roughly judge the number of these devil soldiers just by looking at them.

The bombardment just now, although the company did not suffer a devastating blow, but the losses were also a lot, except for the wounded soldiers, it is estimated that now there is not even half of the previous strength, at this moment they are turning the direction of the heavy firepower of the devils who were originally left on the trenches, and if they want to rely on them to resist the attack of the two squadrons of devils, I am afraid it is very difficult.

"On the first battalion!" Of course, Li Tianxi would not watch a company with half of the remnants go to fight the devils alone, and shouted at the battalion commander beside him: "No matter how many devils there are in front, eat them for me!" ”

"We ...... A battalion? "The commander of the first battalion was a little surprised, the first company had already lost nearly half, even if he brought the second and third companies up, and fought with so many devils, he would have to eat them all, this is really a bit outrageous, he will never have this and unrealistic ideas, but the regiment commander would actually give such an order, which made him puzzled, so he replied so unconfidently.

"That's right, it's your battalion!" Li Tianxi said categorically: "Our tank is here, do you still think it's impossible?" ”

Hearing Li Tianxi's words, the commander of the first battalion found that a large area of yellow dust had risen not far behind him, and the sound of the tank engine could be faintly heard.

When Dong Wenbin's armored unit did not form an infantry regiment, it had been fighting with the infantry tanks of the various regiments of the New 34th Regiment. The first battalion also fought with tanks at one time and knew quite well what tanks were for devils.

Now that I see my own tank coming, what are the devils of these two squadrons in front of me?

"Yes, Commander, eat up these devils and promise to complete the task!" The commander of the first battalion replied excitedly, and then waved his hand and shouted: "The first battalion, kill the devil!" ”

The flag soldiers rushed out first, and the blue sky and white sky that had originally rolled up the flag and put down the flagpole were a red flag, and as the flag soldiers began to flutter as they ran, the soldiers of the first battalion followed the battle flag closely, heading towards the first company, and towards the devil soldiers who were about to rush up.

The first company was already firing, and when they captured the warning position, they did not carry heavy machine guns, and the pheasant neck on the position of the devil became their heavy weapon. The Huoshan Independent Detachment, the predecessor of the new 34th Division, and the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment in the past, basically all the weapons were handed over from the devils, not to mention that all the soldiers in the company could operate the devils' weapons, but at least every backbone could use them skillfully.

As soon as the two companies of the first battalion rushed out, the devils who had been swarming up to attack the first company suddenly retreated without warning.

This change made Li Tianxi, who was closely watching the battle situation, sink suddenly, the firepower of the first company was not enough to defeat the enemy so quickly, and the devil seemed to be defeated, but in fact it was an organized retreat.

There are traps! The devil is tempting more of his own troops to go up, this is the first feeling that comes to Li Tianxi's heart. But soon, this feeling was forgotten by him, because his own tank came, even if the devil set a trap, but how much of a threat could it pose to Dong Wenbin's tank troops? As long as a battalion closely follows the tanks, even if there is a brigade of devils in front, it will not be able to withstand the impact of the torrent of steel.

How did he know that the trap set by the devil was not aimed at his regiment, but was aimed at Dong Wenbin's tank troops.

In the anti-tank trenches behind the small dirt slopes, nearly 100 dead devils with moon scarves on their heads, each with a stabbing mine, were waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army's tank vehicles!
