Zheng County, known as the Army Garrison Headquarters.

The chief of staff of the 17th Division, Matsushita Furuichi, strode in with a panicked expression, and snapped his feet and said: "General, the forward troops of the China Army from the west have approached Zheng County, what should the general do?" The 47th Infantry Wing and the 17th Infantry Wing are no longer available, and the 3rd Garrison Squadron can't hold out for long! ”

"Yaga Tooth Road! Weapons to the Engineer Wing, the Search Wing, and the Baggage Wing! Let them stop the attack of the Western Front Army! Buy time for the transfer of other divisions! Nakajima roared.

"Hay!" Matsushita Koichi bowed his head suddenly, then turned around and strode away.

……

On the periphery of Zheng County, due to the arrival of the Fourth Division, the 42nd Group Army finally completely surrounded Zheng County on three sides, only the railway station in the south was still in the hands of the devils, and the two main wings of the Sixth Division blocked the attack of the Second Division.

The main attack regiments of the 3rd Division also began to continue the onslaught, and the defense lines of the two infantry wings of the 17th Division in the northeast were already in danger, but because Nakajima Kawaji gave these devil soldiers a death order, the devils of the 47th and 17th Infantry Wings were all fearless of death and showed extremely tenacity.

At the east gate of Zheng County, the 3rd Division and 2nd Brigade were responsible for the main attack.

Zhang Wenwu, commander of the Second Brigade, set up his headquarters directly behind a bunker in the front, and in the headquarters, several regiment commanders of the Second Brigade all gathered together.

Due to the devil's desperate resistance to the offensive of the Second Brigade was repeatedly frustrated, the three main infantry regiments attacked in turn, but they failed to break through the core position of the army in one fell swoop.

Defending the main position at the east gate of Zheng County was the 17th Infantry Wing, which had not fought any hard battles in the past few days, and was the most intact infantry wing of the 17th Division, and its strength was also the strongest.

The 47th Infantry Wing was defending the north gate, and in the previous offensive and defensive battles, the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division had inflicted heavy losses on it, and although some of the troops were replenished from the supplementary wing, the overall combat effectiveness was still greatly reduced.

Therefore, the offensive of the first brigade is much better than that of the second brigade, in the command center, Zhang Wenwu helped the frame on the bridge of his nose, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Think about it yourself, see how the first brigade fights, the vanguard of the first brigade has compressed the devils into the city, or it will not be long before the devils' last line of defense will be broken, and what about us?" It's also the main force, why? Can anyone tell me why? ”

Several regiment commanders immediately lowered their heads in shame when they heard this, Zhang Wenwu was a scholar, but since he abandoned his pen and joined the army, he won Zhang Mingyu's appreciation with his outstanding military exploits, and finally rose step by step, becoming the brigade commander of one of the four main divisions and twelve main brigades.

The reason why Zhang Wenwu was able to make great achievements is inseparable from his flexible mind and strong ability to accept and adapt to new things.

Although Zhang Wenwu is already the brigade commander of the main brigade, he rarely gets angry and is very gentle to his subordinates, so the officers and soldiers of the second brigade are also extremely supportive of him.

However, due to the unfavorable battle situation today, Zhang Wenwu was extremely rarely angry, and when he saw that everyone lowered their heads one by one and did not speak, he immediately slapped the table and made a loud "pop", which startled everyone. After slapping the table, he immediately yelled in his slightly hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Are they all dejected, like a soldier? There is only one devil wing in front of us, and we have three regiments of nearly 10,000 people, even if you fight bayonets, you can fucking get down to them, right? Why did you attack for a long time and couldn't even take a core position? Tell me, why is that? Yes? ”

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Zhang Wenwu suddenly became angry. He yelled, "What's the fuck wrong? Give me my head and chest! Look at me! I tell you, I'll give you one last chance, if you can't take the core position of the 17th Wing this time, don't say it's my soldiers, I can't afford to lose this man! Look for yourselves on your uniforms! Is it worthy of this military uniform? Do you deserve them? I tell you, this uniform is only worthy of the middle [***] who stands up to the sky! You know? ”

"Yes!" The three of them said movingly.

"Be louder! What's wrong with not eating? Zhang Wenwu said dissatisfied.

"Know! Please rest assured! Can't take the devil's position! We'll see you there! The three regiment commanders suddenly burst out and roared in unison.

"Get out!" Zhang Wenwu said with a black face and a big hand.

The three of them didn't speak, their heads were stuffy, they turned around with red faces and strode away. In less than a moment, the fierce roar of the three people sounded outside: "The whole group gathers .......!" ”

Zhang Wenwu watched the three of them leave, and said with a knowing smile: It seems that the trick of the general seat is still useful, as the so-called soldier bears a bear, and the bears will be a nest. That's not bad at all.

It is said that after the commanders of the three main regiments left the brigade headquarters, they immediately summoned the officers and men of the whole regiment and, with the fire support of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, launched a series of attacks on the positions of the troops.

The first to attack was a regiment, a regiment on a position.

The regiment commander wore a steel helmet on his head and held a light machine gun in both hands, jumped up and roared loudly: "A group of people who are not afraid of death, give it to Lao Tzu!" Shame on Lao Tzu! Come on! ”

After speaking, he jumped out of the trench with a light machine gun, and swept sharply in front, and the officers and soldiers of the regiment behind suddenly shouted like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky and rushed up.

"Kill....! the little devil who said the dog! ”

"Fuck! Lao Tzu can't do it! Kill these Oriental turtle grandsons! ”

The soldiers scolded the guys endlessly, and they swarmed away with the position of the first devil of the regiment.

The position of the 17th Infantry Wing of the Devils is an inverted triangle formation built along the perimeter of the city wall, and no matter which direction [***] attacks, it will be intercepted by the dense fire of the Devils.

In addition to a large amount of machine-gun fire on the positions outside the city, the 17th Infantry Wing also deployed several heavy machine guns on the wall behind the position, which were often enough to cause large casualties to the attacking [***] at the most critical time.

Most of the attacks of the Second Brigade were caused by a few heavy machine guns on the city wall at the most critical moment, when they were about to rush to the position of the Japanese army.

Under intensive machine-gun fire, the commandos of the 2nd Brigade were repeatedly forced to withdraw. The offensive was repeatedly thwarted.

At this time, the commander of a regiment personally went into battle and took the lead in launching an attack on the devil's position with more than 200 soldiers who served as commandos, and when it was less than 500 meters away from the devil's position, several light and heavy machine guns on the devil's forward position began to roar.

Tongues of fire composed of several bullets roared and meandered, and several soldiers who rushed in front of the commander of the regiment were immediately hit by the dense rain of bullets, and their bodies fell straight down in a pool of blood.

Regardless of his sadness, the commander of the regiment knelt on one knee while holding the machine gun in his hand and returned fire relying on a bunker, don't shout behind him: "Quick! Give it to Lao Tzu! Rush up! Fast! ”

Then the machine gunners who arrived immediately opened fire to suppress it, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly hit a cloud of dust on the devil's bunker, and the commander of the regiment took the opportunity to jump up and continue to advance with the soldiers behind him.

Soon, after paying nearly 80 casualties, the commander of the regiment finally rushed to a depression less than 100 meters away from the forward position of the devils.

Under the rain of bullets whistling overhead, a regiment leader jumped into the depression, and more than 100 commandos behind him also jumped in.

At this time, above the commandos, a dense network of fire almost covered the entire sky above their heads. A soldier was just about to look up, but was immediately struck into a sieve by the whistling bullets.

The commander of the regiment looked at the corpse of the soldier in grief and shouted: "Grenadier, quick! Kill the devil's machine gun position for Lao Tzu! Fast! ”

"Yes!" Several grenadiers immediately unloaded the grenadiers from their backs, and then began to judge the general direction by feeling, and quickly began shelling.

"Tom tom!" After a few muffled cannon shots, I heard a distant "Boom!" Rumble! "A few loud bangs.

The light and heavy machine gun of the devil, who was still roaring frantically and spitting out tongues of fire just now, suddenly froze, and the commander of the regiment suddenly felt that the whistling sound above his head had greatly decreased, and immediately gave a thumbs up to the grenadiers, and then stood up with the machine gun and roared angrily: "Brothers, follow me!" Kill! ”

"Kill! Come on! More than 100 tiger and wolf divisions jumped out of the trenches one after another, and followed the commander of a regiment to swarm towards the devil's position.

At this time, the other devil soldiers hurriedly blocked from shooting, and several machine guns in other positions also turned around one after another, and fiercely strafed and blocked the advance of the assault team.

The commander of the regiment finished firing a magazine, hurriedly squatted down, and was about to replace it with a new magazine, when there was a "whoosh" sound, a hot bullet drilled into his right arm, and the right hand holding the gun suddenly felt a piercing pain, and watched the commandos who were charging fall one after another.

The head of the regiment had red eyes, and immediately gritted his teeth, and changed to holding the gun in his left hand, and took a magazine from his body with a trembling right hand.

A few devil infantrymen who were pouting and shooting behind the cover were suddenly swept to the ground by a dense rain of bullets.

Finally, under the fierce charge of the commando team, they finally rushed into the position of the devil, and the remaining dozens of daredevils immediately drew a large piece of knife from behind, roared and jumped into the devil's trench, and started a tragic white-edged battle with the devil.

For a time, in the entire trench, people's heads flew together, flesh and blood were splashed, and the shouts and wails were intertwined.

About half an hour later, the commando team eliminated all the devils in the trench, and the entire commando team also got up with a bloody regiment, carrying a large knife that had been curled in his left hand, looking at the follow-up troops that had rushed up behind, and shouted: "First regiment!" Offensive...! ”
