The morning sun illuminated the whole war, the first rays of sunlight showed a miserable picture in front of everyone, there were broken corpses everywhere, the whole Tumen River was filled with a smell of blood, the war was fought from night to early morning, and the rumbling sound of artillery fire shrouded the banks of the Tumen River.

"Look at that! The little devil has withdrawn! Withdrawn! ”

Under the powerful artillery offensive of the defenders of Yanji, the Japanese gendarmerie led by Saito began to retreat. The gunfire on the battlefield gradually disappeared, and with the defeat of the Japanese army, the hanging hearts of the Yanji defenders who had held out all night finally relaxed.

But the town of Cool Water is still shrouded in the haze of war.

Liangshui Town is located in the northeast of the Tumen River, and further east is the direct Hunchun River of the Tumen River. After entering the Hunchun River, the terrain is open and flat, the slope is slow, the river surface is wide, and the water flow is stable. Compared with the turbulent water in the upper reaches, this is the best place for the Japanese army to attack, Liangshui Town can be attacked, retreated can be defended, once the Japanese army occupies this place, it can launch an attack on Yanji at any time. That's why Saito still launched an attack on Liangshui Town when he retreated.

The Japanese army's Hatch Kaisi machine gun continued to strafe at the Jilin Patrol Battalion in Liangshui Town, and a soldier of the Jilin Patrol Battalion on the opposite side was caught in a live sieve and let out a burst of roars.

The equipment of the Jilin patrol battalion is old, and the old sleeve in his hand can only be regarded as a burning stick in the face of the Japanese army's golden hook rifle, and there is no way to face the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army has been unable to raise its head.

Bullets kept shuttling on the positions of both sides, and the patrol battalion of more than 500 people after a night of hard fighting, at this time there were less than 300 people left, which still relied on the fortifications built by Zhang Xiaozhun Engineer Battalion in Liangshui Town. Otherwise, it would have been broken by the Japanese army a long time ago.

"The little devil is too strong! If it doesn't work, let's withdraw! ”

"it! If you disturb the morale of the army again, Lao Tzu will kill you! Didn't you see how those troops fought in Mukden last night? Don't let him look down on our brothers in the Jilin Patrol Battalion. We're flesh too! Lift the spirit of Lao Tzu! ”

Chen Zizheng, the leader of this patrol battalion, is also a man of strong blood, thirty years old. Originally, it was stationed in the Jilin provincial capital of the patrol battalion pipe belt, and later because he was not used to the nest of the Jilin general Changshun, he took the initiative to apply to go to Yanji Wubian, which can be regarded as full of enthusiasm to serve the country, others are a little afraid of war, but this Chen Zizheng is looking forward to the day to fight with the little devil, after the outbreak of the Tumen River defense war, Chen Zizheng led his patrol battalion of 500 brothers to garrison Liangshui Town at the forefront of the Tumen River.

And at that time, Chen Zizheng also took the initiative to apply to He Tianci to be stationed on the front line, because they were the Yanji Wubian Army. Familiar with the topography of Liangshui Town, willing to take the lead.

In the smoke and dust of the "boom", the shells fell directly in the center of the patrol battalion position in Liangshui Town, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion, who had no time to dodge, were suddenly swept away by the heat wave of the shell explosion.

Chen Zizheng wiped a handful of blood from his face, after the Japanese shell exploded just now, the blown stones cut his face out of a long gap, and his eyes that had not slept all night were bloodshot, and his entire face was covered with blood, and he suddenly looked hideous.

"Brothers, they all held on to me. The little devil doesn't want to step into our cool water half a step, and the patrol battalion and Liangshui Town will live and die together! Call me! Chen Zi showed a fierce light on his face, and picked up the old sleeve next to him and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

"Onboard! Onboard! The Japanese captain brandished his sword and yelled at the soldiers.

After receiving orders from the brigade commander. The Japanese artillery greeted the patrol battalion position on the opposite side to the fullest, providing maximum fire support for the charging soldiers.

A sound of dry thunder sounded over the position of the soldiers of the patrol battalion, and shells weighing more than 10 catties fell on the positions of the soldiers of the patrol battalion. Several clouds of black-red gunpowder smoke quickly rose up, and large chunks of gravel and dust flew up under the explosion.

Liangshui Town was suddenly plunged into a thick black smoke of gunpowder. Fear was scattered by the soldiers of the Jilin Patrol Battalion in Liangshui Town, and the entire Liangshui Town was shrouded in darkness.

"Report" a scout with a dusty face. With his feet buckled, he saluted Su Houde and said: "Battalion commander, in front is the troops led by Chen Guan of the Yanji Patrol Battalion, the Japanese army did not rout on the whole line, but launched a fierce attack on Battalion Commander Chen's position in Liangshui Town, it seems that ...... I'm afraid it's ......"

Su Houde, who was wearing a black security brigade uniform, listened to the report of the scout, while observing the battle situation ahead through the telescope, without the slightest fear, but the corners of his mouth rose and nodded slightly, after last night's battle, these soldiers have long since lost the fear from the depths of their hearts for the Japanese soldiers before they came, and Su Houde, as the battalion commander, also saw it in his eyes.

"All of them, go full speed towards Liangshui Town, and assist the soldiers of the patrol battalion stationed in Liangshui." Su Houde ordered to the soldiers: "The first company and the second company are advancing at full speed, and within five minutes, they will knock out the machine gun fire points on both flanks of the Japanese army. ”

In order to facilitate management, He Tianci did not adopt the usual town, association, and standard organization in the Beiyang Army at this time, and the 3,000 members of the security brigade imitated the establishment of later generations, with regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons as combat units.

Steel guns are like a forest, and the steps are rolling!

"Call me!"

The first company took the lead in encountering the Japanese army's offensive position on the left flank, and Su Houde's first battalion pursued the retreating Saito gendarmerie wing from Yanji Longyu all the way to Liangshui Town, and the morale was high, and every soldier was grinding his fists and palms, eager to try, and finally waited for the company commander's order, like a wild horse, and rushed to the Japanese position.

"Da Da Da"

The soldiers of the machine gun squad quickly set up the Maxine machine gun, and there was a burst of strafing at the Japanese position, and the long tongue of fire hit the Japanese position, and the soldiers of the company took advantage of the suppression of the Japanese fire by the machine gun to quickly advance towards the Japanese position.

Unlike the soldiers of the first company, Saito's gendarmerie could not help but get no rest all night, and the most important thing was that they had just suffered a defeat in Yanji Longyu, and their morale was low, and they could still fight in the face of the dilapidated patrol battalion, but they were at a loss in the face of the well-equipped security brigade.

The Japanese commander brandished his saber and looked at the company of soldiers rushing towards the Japanese position, and suddenly his face showed a fierce light, and he looked hideous in the sunlight, and shouted: "Warriors of the empire, the time has come to serve the emperor and defeat this group of damned Shina pigs." ”

At the call of the Japanese officers, the obedience of the Japanese soldiers was only once manifested, and they relied on the fortifications they built to quickly block the charging company of soldiers. (To be continued......)
