Seeing that the morale of the comrades had been stirred up, Zhang Cheng stopped talking nonsense and immediately made combat arrangements: "The destruction of the Yuanping Jiang Yuzhen Brigade is imminent, time is of the essence, I order: I personally lead the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to set off immediately, quickly reinforce the Jiang Yuzhen Brigade, and annihilate all the Japanese troops who invaded the Yuanping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The 4th and 5th Brigades cooperated with the divisional artillery brigade to counterattack Laoxian, completely annihilating the Japanese troops stationed in Laoxian, recovering the lost territory, and quickly establishing a blocking position to block the Japanese troops who were moving south. In the end, the divisional combat units act as the general reserve, is it clear to everyone? ”

"Clear!" The cadres yelled.

"Then let's do it!" Zhang Cheng waved his hand and ended the meeting.

After that, Zhang Cheng called Zhang Shanhe, the captain of the special operations team, and asked him to lead all the members of the "Sharp Blade" special operations team to Yangmingbao immediately and raid Yangmingbao Airport.

On the battlefield of Xinkou, Zhang Cheng was not afraid of the Japanese tanks and artillery, but he did not have a good way to deal with the air force aircraft, so Zhang Cheng decided to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly destroy the Japanese airfield, so that the devil's air force could not be dispatched.

Since the special combat personnel had received flight training from Soviet Air Force instructors, Zhang Cheng also demanded that Zhang Shanhe seize the Japanese planes if he had the opportunity and drive the devil's plane back to Yulin Airport safely.

Of course, Zhang Cheng also pointed out that seizing the devil's plane was an additional order, and if there was no chance to blow up the Yangmingbao airport, the mission would be completed, and everything should be preserved as the first priority.

Zhang Shanhe, who was thirsty for war, gladly accepted the order and led the screaming special combat team members to immediately set off for Yangmingbao Airport in Dai County.

At this time, the battle of Yuan Ping has entered the most difficult moment. The 196th Brigade has only 1,000 people left, and the brigade commander Jiang Yuzhen gathered the remaining troops and stuck to a courtyard in the northeast corner of Yuanping.

He ordered the soldiers to climb the roof of the wall and shoot at the enemy condescendingly, the Japanese also fired a dense gun, some of the soldiers were shot and fell, and the other part of the soldiers immediately climbed up heroically to continue the battle, the officers and soldiers went forward one after another, remembering the oath to defend the original peace, resisting the enemy's artillery fire and bullets with their flesh and blood, and firmly defending the last position of the original peace.

The field artillery wing, which was mixed into the 15th Brigade Group, under the orders of the brigade commander Seiichiro Shinohara, began to fire shells at the positions of the 196th Brigade, while more than 2,000 soldiers of the two brigades began to attack the positions of the 196th Brigade under the cover of artillery fire.

Jiang Yuzhen saw through the binoculars that the enemy was attacking again, and ordered loudly: "All of them, the enemy has begun shelling, hide!" ”

"Boom!"

As the Japanese army launched an attack, dozens of powerful artillery shells rained down on the positions of the 196th Brigade, and the walls of many courtyards were blown down, burying many soldiers hidden under the walls.

Jiang Yuzhen watched her soldiers being killed and buried alive by the Japanese artillery, and her whole heart was dripping blood.

"Kill, give!"

After three rounds of shelling, under the order of the commander of the 16th Wing of the Japanese Army, Goto Juro Osa, the 2,000 Japanese troops launched a charge against the 196th Brigade and swept towards the 196th Brigade like a tidal wave.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, all the Japanese soldiers had undergone extremely strict training, and the quality of individual soldiers was very high, especially their marksmanship was very exquisite.

Due to Japan's lack of resources, the essence of saving is everywhere reflected in all the weapons they manufacture, and the caliber of guns in other European and American countries is generally more than 7 mm, but only the caliber of Japanese guns is 6.5 mm.

The Japanese soldiers were all educated in militarism, although they lost their humanity, but their patriotism was undoubted, they were well aware of the country's difficulties, in order to save resources for the country, they practiced hard shooting, so their marksmanship was very accurate, almost everyone was a sharpshooter.

As soon as the Japanese army approached the position of the Kuomintang army, the accurate marksmanship brought great casualties to the 196th Brigade, and the soldiers of the Kuomintang army were likely to be shot in the head by the Japanese sharpshooters as soon as they appeared.

Moreover, the Japanese army not only has a high individual combat capability, but also is very skilled in the tactics of infantry and artillery cooperation, after the infantry charge, the artillery wing will advance the 92 mortars to bombard, using artillery fire to cover the infantry attack.

Brigade Commander Jiang Yuzhen is almost 1.9 meters tall, and he can be easily seen on any occasion. He was wearing a general's uniform, with two special grenades hanging on his chest, and where the gun rang out the tightest and where the fight was the tightest, Jiang Yuzhen rushed with a submachine gun and a special service platoon.

The guards beside him said to Jiang Yuzhen: "Brigade seat, the battlefield is dangerous, you are tall, you are too conspicuous, it is easy for the Japanese army to lock on to the target, so don't run around." ”

Jiang Yuzhen said, "What I want is to be conspicuous, so that the brothers on the battlefield can see me at a glance, and when they see the brigade commander here, the position must be there!" ”

Inspired by Jiang Yuzhen's spirit of daring to die, everyone in the 196th Brigade fought bravely and was not afraid of death. The 196 Brigade's specialty is to throw grenades, from the brigade commander onwards, everyone has a special grenade produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal hanging on their chests, pinned to their waists, and carrying them behind their backs.

At that time, the grenades produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal were modified to be as powerful as a mortar shell. Many companies organized brave detachments and attacked the Japanese forward positions at night, and brave soldiers climbed onto Japanese tanks with special grenades and blew up several Japanese tanks.

With the skillful ability of throwing grenades, the tenacious 196 Brigade repelled the Japanese army's attacks in turn, and waged a desperate struggle with the Japanese army in every courtyard, every fortification, and every house, and defended his honor as a Chinese soldier with his life.

The 196th Brigade's desperate resistance shocked the Japanese army that exterminated humanity, and the brigade commander Shinohara, Seiichiro Shinohara, ordered the Japanese army to launch a political offensive, holding a loudspeaker to persuade the remaining soldiers of the 196th Brigade to surrender, hoping to break the morale of the Chinese army, but the officers and soldiers of the 196th Brigade all used bullets to talk to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's loudspeaker was also broken.

The stubbornness of the 196th Brigade made Goto Juro Osa angry, and he had just now had respect for these Chinese soldiers who regarded death as their home, but the 196th Brigade's act of smashing its horn once again turned him into a demon, even though it was already night, he still ordered his two brigades to attack the 196th Brigade.

At this time, the Japanese army reversed its previous stingy appearance of calculating artillery shells, and under the light of the flares, they poured shells on the position of the 196th Brigade, blowing up the position of the 196th Brigade into a sea of fire.

However, no matter how fierce the Japanese attack was, all the officers and soldiers of the 196th Brigade still used their flesh and blood to form an iron wall, blocking wave after wave of Japanese attacks and inflicting great casualties on the Japanese army.
