The second hand on the watch is constantly beating forward, and the hour hand is about to point to two o'clock. Sun Yumin was a little unsettled in his heart, Dong Wenbin took Lin Yuanping and his first battalion of the guard regiment, as well as the newly formed regiment and one battalion composed of the Sichuan army, and was ready to attack the Japanese garrison near Qilin Town at night, just waiting for his order.

Sun Yumin really wanted to personally take these two battalions of nearly 2,000 troops to carry out this suicidal assault, but under Li Tianxi's tough attitude and Xiao Yuying's nonsense, he had to give up on the idea of going to the battlefield in person.

He didn't want these brave soldiers to do this extremely dangerous task, but in order to ensure the safety of Heze, in order to ensure the safety of the border defense line between Shandong and Henan, and in order to prevent the Japanese from stepping into Henan, these sacrifices had to be undertaken. Sun Yumin's character actually has a lot of flaws, that is, he is not good at communicating with people, his heart is too soft, and he can even be said to be a little indecisive, but the people around him are still willing to entrust him with everything they have, just like Dong Wenbin and Lin Yuanping, they took on the task of assault without hesitation.

Sun Yumin gritted his teeth, and when he reached the twelfth position in seconds, he resolutely said two words: "Attack!" ”

In the silent night, a few night crows suddenly called, and the familiar code made Dong Wenbin and Lin Yuanping's hearts continue to surge, and they couldn't help but grasp the red tassel broadsword in their hands.

Sun Yumin came from the Northwest Army, and his 20th Division also inherited the fighting style of Feng Yuxiang and Sun Lianzhong, and many soldiers were equipped with broadswords. This night attack was almost certain to be a tragic hand-to-hand combat, and the broadsword was undoubtedly superior to the bayonet.

After hearing the pre-agreed code, Dong Wenbin and Lin Yuanping stood up first, swung forward with a big knife with a little cold light, and led nearly 2,000 warriors to the Japanese camp cat.

"Smack!"

A crisp gunshot broke the silence of the night.

Lin Yuanping is very familiar with this kind of sound, it is the gunfire of the Japanese army's 38 big cover, which means that the troops have been discovered by the devil's secret outpost.

After this gunshot, a scream was heard in a short time, and the sentry who had released the gun had apparently died on the spot.

Dong Wenbin, who was marching, led the two battalions that had been raided to speed up his pace and rushed towards the Japanese camp at a sprint speed.

The gunfire of the dark sentry woke up the Japanese military camp, and the devil soldiers, like bees that have blown up their nests, picked up their weapons in disheveled clothes and threw themselves at the position, and the light machine guns of the sentries on duty also began to fire in the direction of the guns, and the trajectory of the bullets rushed into the bodies of the Chinese soldiers like glowing elves in the dark night.

Dong Wenbin gasped, silently calculating the distance between himself and the light machine gun fire point. Lin Yuanping was still at the forefront with him before, but he was slowly unable to do it, he still had to save some physical strength to fight hard, and there were constantly soldiers passing by, so he simply slowed down his pace and walked forward in the crowd.

From the first shot to the first bullet fired by the Japanese light machine gun, it was only a minute in between, and the troops of the 20th Division who launched the surprise attack had rushed to a distance of only forty or fifty meters from the Japanese camp, although there was constantly new firepower began to shoot, and the pheasant's neck also began to "cluck and ......" rhythmically, but these were no longer able to stop the footsteps of the Chinese army, one grenade after another was thrown out of the hands of the running soldiers, and the fire emitted by the violent explosion, Figures holding large blades continued to pour into the Japanese soldiers who were shooting desperately.

The officers and men of the 482nd Regiment of the 81st Division, who were confronted by the Japanese army, were stunned by the sudden battle, and they could not understand what was going on at all. Zhanshutang was woken up in his sleep and asked everywhere what was going on, but the news that his several groups reported back didn't know what was going on. The situation is unknown, even if the opposite side is hot, he does not dare to let the troops make a move easily, so he has to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Just as Zhanshutang was leading a group of officers from the division headquarters to study what was going on, the guard battalion sent out a secret post of a kilometer or two to run back and report that the commander of the 20th Division arrived with at least one reinforced regiment.

Hearing the sentry's report, Zhan Shutang immediately understood the reason why the devil on the other side was in a mess, and he hurriedly said to the chief of staff: "Hurry up and notify the front troops, wait for my order, and launch a full-scale counterattack at any time." ”

He himself walked out of the division headquarters with the other officers and walked out of the town, where he wanted to personally greet this man who had once given him no face, but now led his troops to come to his aid in the starry night.

Dong Wenbin and a group of soldiers around him formed a fist, and everywhere they went, they were simply killed and bloodied, and slowly a torrent gathered around them, turning the entire temporary camp of the Japanese army upside down with a devastating attitude. The military uniform on his body was already soaked with blood, his cheeks were covered with blood, and the blade of the big knife in his hand was dulled in several places. Dozens of devil soldiers with bayonets rushed over under the command of a lieutenant. Dong Wenbin first slashed a ghost soldier who rushed to the front to the ground, and then faced the devil lieutenant.

Lin Yuanping also cut down a ghost soldier, looking at the Japanese soldier who was cut down by him on the ground, only half of his body was left twitching on the ground, the corners of his mouth were constantly blistering with blood, and he shouted in Japanese indistinctly: "Mom, Mom......." His hard heart was suddenly shattered, he threw away the big knife in his hand, took off his coat, and wanted to cover the huge wound of this ghost soldier who was about twenty years old, but where could he cover it, and the young ghost soldier died in his arms with round eyes.

The ghost soldier who was killed by him had a few "mothers" before he died, which completely defeated Lin Yuanping, and he sat on the ground despite the fact that he was on the battlefield, crying uncontrollably, and kept shouting in Japanese: "Mom, Mom, Mom......." In the blurred tears of her eyes, her mother in a kimono was smiling at herself.

When the two were stabbing him with bayonets, they suddenly heard pure Japanese with a slight island accent, and they were stunned for a while, and the 38 big cover in their hands was in the air, and they didn't stab it.

The soldiers of the first battalion of the guard regiment saw that their battalion commander suddenly lost his mind on the battlefield, crying and screaming, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

The two devil soldiers who did not make a ruthless move against Lin Yuanping were killed by the soldiers of the guard battalion in the blink of an eye, and the blood spurting out of the wound poured him out of the ground crying.

Dong Wenbin heard the half-devil crying in Japanese, didn't understand what was wrong with him, kicked him over, and scolded: "This is not a place to play, it will kill people." ”

Seeing that Lin Yuanping sat up again after being kicked down, but he didn't cry anymore, just looked at himself blankly, Dong Wenbin had no choice but to yell at the two guard battalion soldiers beside him: "Don't you send him down, do you want him to die here?" ”

The two fighters couldn't help but say something, one grabbed one of his hands, pulled Lin Yuanping up, put it on his shoulder and was about to walk back.

Suddenly, Lin Yuanping, who was crazy, pushed away the two fighters, raised the big knife in Dong Wenbin's surprised gaze, and slashed at him.

Dong Wenbin didn't expect him to cut at himself, and it was too late to use the knife to hold his big blade that was still dripping with blood, and his heart was cold, he didn't die in the hands of the enemy, but died in his own hands, he was really unwilling. Dong Wenbin closed his eyes and didn't look at the big knife that fell towards him, waiting for the last bit of feeling of dying happily.

A hot stream sprayed on his face, Dong Wenbin reached out and touched it, opened his eyes, saw the blood on his hands, and thought: Am I dead? How does it not hurt? How can you still see the bright red blood on your hands when you are dead?

A guard battalion soldier patted him who was in a daze and said, "Regiment commander, are you okay?" ”

Dong Wenbin came back to his senses, glanced at the soldier, and then looked in the direction where Lin Yuanping slashed at him just now, only to see a headless corpse lying next to him, the corpse was still holding a katana in his hand, and he was wearing a Japanese officer uniform, and the rank of Shaozuo on his shoulder told Dong Wenbin that this was not a petty official.

Dong Wenbin immediately understood, this Shao Zuo who fell to the ground had just attacked him, but he was raised by a half-devil and cut off his head with a knife, fortunately, he was an officer, and he cut himself with a katana, so he had the opportunity for a half-devil to save himself. Thinking about this scene, Dong Wenbin immediately looked around for Lin Yuanping, who had just saved him, for fear that he would go crazy again, only to see more than a dozen or twenty soldiers from the guard battalion not far away surrounding him, impacting the devil camp that had become a mess.

……

Zhanshutang saw Sun Yumin jumping off the jeep, and immediately trotted over, stretched out his hand from afar, and shouted: "Brother Yumin, I knew that you would come to help my brother, this kindness Zhan someone will remember in his heart, and he will repay it in the future." ”

Sun Yumin also stretched out his hand to shake him, hugged him, and said politely: "Commander Zhan, our own family doesn't speak two words, they are all Commander Sun's troops, if we don't help each other, can we still rely on those Gui Army and Sichuan Army in the Fifth War Zone?" ”

Zhan Shutang was worried that this Sun Yumin would make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates, so he behaved very positively and politely, but he didn't expect that the commander of the 20th Division, who had robbed himself of credit and had also let himself touch a gray nose, was so face-saving, not only smiling at him, but also taking the initiative to hug himself, which made him flattered for a while.

Sun Yumin did not continue to quarrel with him, and also refused his invitation to sit at the temporary command post, and said directly: "Master Zhan, it is not easy for you and my brother to have a small gathering, but now that the situation is urgent, my subordinates are still fighting in front, so I won't go to you." After he said this, he called Xiao Shanzi, took out a small map from the folder he was back, unfolded it on the ground, and pointed to a place called Anzhuang Village with a few flashlights: "Brother Zhan, time is running out now, you must follow my advice, immediately abandon the defense of Qilin Town, retreat here, and immediately start building a defensive line." Remember, dig as soon as you get there, don't be afraid of hard work, tell your brothers that digging an inch deeper will give you a better chance of living. ”

Zhanshutang didn't understand what he meant at all, and he didn't understand why he wanted to build a position in that small place, there were at least two small rivers in Qilin Town that could help block it, and that broken place had passed through there when it came, and there was no place to defend except for a few small dirt bags and a few small forests.

Sun Yumin looked at him with a blank look, so he had to say patiently: "This place is within the scope of the support of my artillery regiment, you arrange a defense line over there, you can assist me in attacking, and you can enter the Juye defense line guarded by my heavy troops at any time, you only act as a decoy there, as long as you dig the trench well and dig deep, and prepare some anti-artillery holes, I guarantee to kill Seya Kai's artillery." ”

Seeing that Zhanshutang was still suspicious, Sun Yumin was a little angry, and his voice became a little louder: "Brother Zhan, if you don't retreat, you don't have to wait until dawn, your 482nd regiment will be bombarded to pieces on this position." ”

When he had said this, he stood up, turned his head and walked away, and did not speak again until he got into the jeep.

After the jeep turned around, Sun Yumin poked his head out again and said, "You still have an hour to go, it's up to you whether you withdraw or not, anyway, it's not my troops that are being consumed." ”

Looking at the jeep that was leaving, Zhan Shutang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said to the officers beside him: "Order all troops to retreat to Anzhuang Village, and after the 482nd regiment is mated, all must be completed within half an hour." ”

After saying these few words, Zhanshutang seemed to be relieved, and looked at the Japanese camp in the distance, where the sound of fighting and explosions was still heard.

…………

Kai Seya in Jining City was awakened in his sleep by a knock on the door, and he was angry and scolded loudly.

Outside the door, the voice of the chief of staff was heard: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, an urgent battle report has come from the front line, the Yamamoto Brigade, the vanguard of the 63rd Wing of Furong Zhenpei Dazuo, has been raided, and only less than 300 people have escaped. ”

"Nani? Eight Tooth Fury! Seya Kei, who was still in bed, couldn't believe it when he heard the news, he jumped out of bed, opened the door barefoot, and yelled at the embankment: "Order the field artillery wing to advance immediately, and the 63rd wing of Fukuei Shinpei will wait for the artillery to arrive and then seek cooperation, and be sure to eliminate the Shina troops that attacked the Yamamoto brigade." ”

"Hey." The embankment is not sandwiched, and you are ordered to go.

After retreating less than 10 kilometers and taking less than an hour and a half, the officers and men of the 81st Division arrived at Anzhuang Village.

The tired and tired officers and men all lay down on the ground when they were given the order to rest, and some even began to snore.

Several brigade commanders under Zhanshutang came over to ask if they wanted to set up defenses here, and he was heartbroken, and said: "Since I believe in the surname Sun and retreated to this place, then I will believe him again and inform my brothers to do it." Just as they were sweating, the sentry in front came to report: "The troops of the 20th Division, which had raided the Japanese camp, have returned and are going to pass through our defensive line." ”

How could Zhanshutang refuse, he and several brigade commanders stood on the side of the road, looking at the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division who kept passing in front of them, even in the dark night, everyone could see the blood stains and murderous aura of these soldiers, and even those wounded soldiers walked in front of them with their heads held high.
