The next day, Du Meimei's war report had been issued, and it immediately made the headlines of the major newspapers, and the major newspapers spared no effort to publicize and report it.

The whole [***] people learned the news that the 42nd Group Army and the Yue Army were fighting bloody on the front line, and the photos taken by Du Meimei really revealed the tragic fighting situation on the front line.

For a time, the morale of the whole [***] people was high, and some businessmen and gangsters organized people to go to the front line to deliver all kinds of condolences and medicines to the 42nd Group Army.

Young students from all over the country spontaneously organized themselves and secretly flocked thousands of miles to North China without telling their families, demanding to join the 42nd Group Army and General Zhang Mingyu to fight together.

Under pressure, Chairman Chiang also convened a press conference to call on all units throughout the country to actively prepare for war, and even ordered all units in North China to carry out fortifications on the surrounding armies, and also relieved the pressure on the 42nd Group Army.

Of course, these are only superficial articles, and secretly Chairman Chiang has issued repeated orders to the various units of the Central Army in North China without written orders from the Central Military Commission, and not a single soldier can be easily mobilized.

… At this time, Botou Town was already full of flames, and the three battalions of the first brigade and one regiment and the four infantry wings of the two mixed brigades and regiments of the Japanese army were engaged in a desperate struggle.

The entire canal was full of blood, the flames of war were all over the sky, and the shouts of killing were endless for a long time.

Zhang Mingyu stood in the distance and watched the fierce battle unfolding in front through the artillery mirrors, only to see that the other two regiments of the first brigade had already pressed up, and more than 10,000 people of the brigade launched a general attack on the Yue army on the battle line of several miles wide.

More than 8,000 people from the two mixed brigades and four infantry wings of the Chinese army also lined up and started a head-to-head battle with the First Brigade, and soon the competition between the two sides became white-hot.

……… Cangzhou Okamura Ningji Office.

Major General Tanabe Moritake hurriedly walked into Okamura Ninji's office with a quick expression, and immediately retracted his feet and said uprightly: "General, the 11th Mixed Brigade and the 12th Mixed Brigade on the Eastern Front of the Canal have been fighting with the Chinese people, and the two sides are fighting each other in short combat, and they are currently fighting to the death on the edge of the canal!" ”

"Yaga Yalu!" Okamura Ninji was furious when he heard this: "Why don't you obey my order and rely on favorable fortifications to block and consume the strength of the Shina Army, but foolishly fight a war of attrition with the Shina Army?" ”

"The general must not be angry, according to the report of the front-line imperial army, the Chinese army is equipped with powerful individual automatic firearms, and the imperial army relies on the position and the Chinese army has suffered heavy casualties in the fire, and is forced to turn to white-knuckle stabs." Tanabe Moritake bowed his head sharply.

"A powerful individual weapon?" Okamura Ninji asked in surprise, "Could it be a submachine gun?" ”

"No!" Tanabe Moritake shook his head and said: "It's not a submachine gun, the continuous firing ability of this automatic firearm is several times that of our light machine gun, and often one automatic firearm can suppress two to three light and heavy machine guns of the imperial army!" ”

"What, what kind of individual weapon is this? How powerful is it? Okamura Ninji was surprised.

"I don't know, this should be a new weapon that the people of China have just researched, but we haven't captured this new weapon yet, so we can't identify it yet." Tanabe Moritake shook his head.

"Order the warriors of the Imperial Army on the front line, be sure to capture this new weapon of the Zhina, I want to see what kind of new weapon this is. ," Okamura said awe-inspiringly.

"Hay!" Tanabe Moritake bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and left quickly.

………… Botou Town.

At the headquarters of the Third Division, Lai San summoned two brigade commanders and six regiment commanders to sum up the combat experience of the day, because more than a dozen attacks launched by the Third Division were blocked by devils in one day. At this time, Lai San's face felt darker than a donkey's face.

Lai San took off his leather belt, then threw it on the table in front of him, and said with a dark face: "How did you fight this battle?" More than 20,000 people fought for a day, and there was almost no further push, you look at the first division of the people, it only took one brigade to defeat the little devils, and the current battle line is almost advancing to the railway station! ”

At this time, the commander of the first brigade, Lai Changqing, muttered in a low voice: "The first division and one brigade are equipped with more than 5,000 new submachine guns, and one thing can suppress two or three light and heavy machine guns for the little devils, and it is almost invincible in close combat!" What are we taking, it is a formal rifle and a small number of German-made submachine guns, of course, we can't kill the bunnies of the first division! ”

"That's it, if you want me to say, the weapons of the German devils are not as good as Lao Maozi, obedient guy has 71 rounds of ammunition, each person carries two or three magazines, and one is better than three Czechs!" Xiao Jingtian, the commander of the third brigade, also complained.

"Okay, don't complain about it, the quality of the equipment is not the main reason, I think that when Lao Tzu followed the head seat in Xuzhou, millet plus rifles, he also did the little devil's equipment. Now we want guns and guns, guns and cannons, enough ammunition tubes, planes in the sky, tanks on the ground, and a second-class division that can't fuck the little devils? Lai Sanyi waved his hand.

The crowd fell silent for a moment. Seeing this, Lai San immediately said: "Lift the spirit to me, don't fucking be like a defeated rooster, just take out the momentum that a man should have, isn't it just a few little devils, what's the big deal, just fuck them and kill them!" ”

"Are you willing to let the donkeys of the first division laugh at our third division, and you have to ask the first division to come and help?"

"Master! Don't talk about it, I'm willing to personally organize and lead the death squad to rush up and meet the little devil's bayonet and fight quickly! But before you attack, you have to give me enough artillery support, and at least half of the devil's light and heavy machine gun fire, so that the brothers will not die in vain on the way to the charge.

And the tank regiment must act with us! Lai Changqing, the commander of the first brigade, suddenly got up and said.

Lai San pondered for a while and said, "Okay, all these Lao Tzu you said promised you that I am always transferring my guard battalion to you for use." A Thomson submachine gun should be enough for you, right? ”

"Enough!" As soon as Lai Changqing heard that Lai San lent him the guard battalion, his eyes immediately straightened, that is nearly a thousand veterans of a hundred battles, they are the real elite, and the infantry equipment is also all imitation American submachine guns, although Zhang Mingyu used to be only responsible for the imitation and production of Soviet-German weapons, but he didn't know which tendon was wrong for Lai San, and he was particularly fond of American equipment, so he begged Zhang Mingyu to give him a batch of American equipment.

Only then did the 42 nd Group Army have the only formed American-style unit, that is, Lai San's guard battalion, which has three infantry companies, a mortar company, and an antiaircraft machine gun company under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 900 troops.

In particular, the three infantry companies are equipped with nearly 600 American-style Thomson submachine guns, although this thing is not as perverted as **sha, but the power is not small, at least much stronger than the German-style MP18.

Seeing that Lai Changqing's haba was about to flow, Lai San suddenly became angry and scolded: "Don't be happy about what you say, if this battle doesn't work well, not only will I have to beat you, but I will also have to shoot you!" ”

Lai Changqing put away his smile, stepped forward and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, this battle will be won!" If not, Changqing is willing to be a military lawyer! ”

"Alright, let's get ready!" Lai San waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly.

"Yes!" Lai Changqing snapped upright, then turned around and strode away.

Lai Changqing strode out of the division headquarters, and after returning to his brigade headquarters, he summoned the three regiment commanders and said: "You have all heard what the division seat said today, so now each of your regiments immediately draws 150 veterans with strong combat effectiveness from each company and battalion, and immediately assembles at the brigade headquarters!" ”

"Yes!" The three regiment commanders suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around one after another, and happily took the order.

At this time, the guard battalion of the third division had already been ordered to arrive, and the commander of the guard battalion had his explosive muscles exposed, a burly body, and bronzed skin. Some of the female soldiers of the 1st Brigade Headquarters were dazzled.

Da Biao took a big step and walked towards the brigade headquarters, and after entering the brigade headquarters, Da Biao suddenly closed up and said: "Sir, the guard battalion is ordered to come!" Please instruct! ”

Lai Changqing snapped back a military salute and said solemnly: "Da Biao, order your department to stand by temporarily, and then set off with the commando team!" ”

"Yes!" Da Biao snapped upright, and then turned around and strode out.

After a while, the three regiment commanders each came with the elite soldiers of each regiment, and these big-headed soldiers were the kings of soldiers in their respective companies.

At this time, Lai Changqing strode out of the brigade headquarters in military uniform, and when he saw the brigade seat coming out, the three regiment commanders immediately shouted: "Lizheng!" All of them! Count! ”

"One, two, three...... One hundred and fifteen. ”

"One, two, three...... One hundred and fifteen. ”

"Report to the brigade seat, a regiment of spearheads is all ready! Please instruct! The head of the regiment snapped and said.

"Report to the brigade! The second regiment is also fully prepared, please instruct! The second regiment leader also immediately turned around and stood up.

"The three regiments are ready! Please instruct. ”

"Good!" Lai Changqing opened his throat and said loudly: "Brothers, you are all the top soldiers of my first brigade, and you are the elite. Now we declare to you that from now on, you are no longer a senior soldier, no longer a platoon commander, no longer a company commander, a squad leader, you are just an ordinary soldier. It's a commando team of elite soldiers! Are you ready? ”

"Ready!"

"Good! Lined up! ”

Four hundred and fifty warriors immediately began to coax into formation, and in less than a moment they stood in a standard square formation.

At this time, Lai Changqing said to the three regiment commanders: "You can go back, I will take the commando team first, and you will follow up with a large army!" ”

"Yes!" The three regiment commanders suddenly agreed, and then turned around and returned to their respective stations.

"Chief Lai, what are we doing in the guard battalion?" Da Biao stepped forward and asked.

"You're also in the commando!" Lai Changqing replied solemnly.

"Yes! Got it! Da Biao turned around and shouted at the guard battalion, "All assemble...."

At this time, the artillery of the Third Division began to bombard, and the entire position of the Japanese army was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire, and clusters of dazzling red light appeared from time to time.

After the shelling was over, Lai Changqing slowly strode forward, opened the safety of his submachine gun with a click in his hand, and shouted at the commandos: "Commando, follow me!" the Oriental devil who killed the dog! ”

"Kill....kill... Kill! The soldiers shouted and screamed, and followed Lai Changqing to swarm in the direction of the army's position.
