However, at this time, such a fierce offensive by the Reading Force completely disrupted Sasaki's wishful thinking, and in order to prevent the army from being defeated or even annihilated, he could only be forced to send the last two infantry brigades in his hand. At this time, Sasaki thought in his heart, as long as he could resist until dark, he immediately retreated with his troops, and continued to fight like this, and the middle [***] people on the opposite side came to bombard a few times, and all his ten thousand people would have to be confessed here.

Sasaki didn't want to be loyal to the empire and their bullshit emperor so early, because he saw his life in China as a fairy, with a large number of flower girls to play with, and a lot of gold and silver treasures to loot. In a word, there is too much oil and water to be fished in China, and China is simply more than 100,000 times better than their own country.

What he couldn't do before, he can do in China.

However, things were not as good as Sasaki when he thought of development, and soon he was a young officer, and he strode in with a panicked look on his face, and saw Sasaki hurriedly put his feet away and said: "General, the second line of defense has been broken through by the Chinese people, and the third brigade has been forced to retreat, and now the fourth and fifth brigades are fighting with the Chinese people." ”

"Yaga! What do you say? Sasaki grabbed Shaozo's collar in front of him one by one and roared.

"Hay! General, the second line of defense has been lost, and the people of China are attacking the 4th and 5th Infantry Brigades under the cover of large war vehicles! Your Excellency the Group Commander has asked me to report back to you and ask for tactical guidance. ”

"Yaga Yalu!" Sasaki was so angry that he opened his bow left and right with both hands, and "rewarded" the young man with more than a dozen slaps in a row.

Soon the young man's face was swollen like a pig's head, but he still suddenly lowered his head and straightened his feet, "Hai! ”

At this time, he knew that it was impossible to retreat to Shimen along the Zhengtai Line, but he couldn't fight anymore, and the entire brigade would be eaten by the Reading Force after the fight! So he immediately ordered the young man: "Order the Fourth Brigade to block the attack of the Chinese people, and the Fifth and Third Brigade will immediately withdraw from the battle and retreat to Taiyuan with the brigade headquarters!" Sasaki roared through gritted teeth.

"Hay!" The young man bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and strode away.

Said army position.

Countless soldiers of the Reading Force have poured into the position of the army, three or five people and one soldier, the fighters who beat were addicted, when five or six bayonets stabbed into the dirty corpse of the devil at the same time, the soldiers still did not understand their hatred, five or six people raised the bayonets in their hands around the corpse of the devil and stabbed them fiercely.

Until the flesh and blood of the devil's dead body were blurred and all the faces flew, another cut off the devil's already blurred head, one of the soldiers with a bayonet, continued to advance forward, chasing the devil deserter, two devil deserters were chased and wanted to turn back to resist, were cut off by a company commander with a knife, and the two devil soldiers fell to the ground and howled.

The soldiers of the Reading Army, who were swarming up behind, immediately picked up the broadswords, bayonets and other weapons in their hands and swarmed up, and the company commander shouted while holding a knife in one hand: "Peel them alive for Lao Tzu!" Speaking of this, the company commander's eyes were already moist, he was originally a villager of a mountain village, named Zhao Shoutian, one day he went up the mountain to chop wood and hunt, and several devils entered the village.

His daughter-in-law, who was eight months pregnant, was disemboweled by them with bayonets after being spoiled by several devils in turn, and finally these crazy beasts used bayonets to provoke the dead fetus to swagger away.

When he returned home, he saw the tragic scene in front of him, and after burying his wife, he resolutely defected to the Reading Army, which was recruiting soldiers at that time.

After joining the army, because of his bravery in combat and repeated exploits, Zhao Shoutian is now the commander of the third company of the second regiment of the second division of the Reading Army, and Liu Changsheng, the original commander of the third company, is now the battalion commander of the second regiment. Xu Wen and Wang Hanshan were of the third company, but at this time the two were still recuperating in the rear hospital, and it is estimated that the Taiyuan Battle will not be able to catch up.

After the soldiers of the third company received the order of the company commander, they immediately left a few soldiers to hold down the devil soldiers who had been in a coma due to excessive blood loss and pain, Zhao Shoutian took the bayonet from the hand of a soldier, and shouted angrily in the sky: "Qin! I avenge you! After speaking, the bayonet in his hand "fluttered" and stabbed into the abdomen of a devil.

The devil soldier who was about to fall into a coma suddenly woke up from the great pain, he looked at Zhao Shoutian with wide eyes, and met Zhao Shoutian's terrifying gaze, the ghost soldier was so frightened that he immediately screamed, but Zhao Shoutian seemed to turn a deaf ear to the devil's plea, he clasped the bayonet handle with both hands, and then roared and pulled down hard.

I saw that the devil's stomach was immediately broken, and the devil soldier looked at his still beating heart in horror, as well as the intestines that had been cut by the sharp blade.

Zhao Shoutian used a bayonet to open the devil's stomach from the chest to the crotch of his pants, and the devil soldier let out a series of screams.

In the end, Zhao Shoutian pulled out a bayonet full of blood, and stabbed it into the crotch of the devil's pants, cutting off the dirty object at the root.

The devil screamed and fainted, at this time Zhao Shoutian pulled out his bayonet and walked to another ghost soldier next to him, the ghost soldier was already frightened by the tragic experience of his companions, and immediately begged for mercy in stiff Chinese: "Don't, no, please let me go, don't!" ”

"Spare you?" Zhao Shoutian roared with a hideous face: "When our defenseless innocent people, fathers, and fellow villagers, begged you to let them go, why didn't you let them go? Death, you brutes! ”

After speaking, Zhao Shoutian stabbed the devil in the chest, and then the blade turned down, and with a roar, the devil's belly was cut open from top to bottom, and the devil's intestines and internal organs all gushed out accompanied by blood.

Zhao Shoutian stood up and said to the soldiers next to him: "Chop off the heads of these two dogs, so that these dogs can't be reincarnated as humans in the next life!" ”

Soon the soldiers of the second division broke through the devil blockade, and the whole army had advanced to the city of Taiyuan, they could almost see the tall and majestic city wall of Taiyuan, a soldier from Taiyuan, knelt down in the direction of Taiyuan and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Daddy, my son is back!" ”

At this time, Ling Tianbao ordered the troops to stop advancing and retreat two miles back to build a defensive position. After all, the soldiers have been fighting for a day, and the sky is about to get dark, so it will definitely not work to forcibly attack the city at this time, and the order Zhang Mingyu gave him was to let him take the outer positions of Taiyuan before dark. Now that his task has been completed, of course, he is to consolidate the existing position and wait for Zhang Mingyu's next instructions.

………………………………………………………………………………………………… Reading the military department of the army.

Zhang Biao strode into the headquarters with an excited face. When he saw Zhang Mingyu, he immediately shouted: "Big brother, the second division has captured the position in Taiyuan City, the first part of the Third Mixed Brigade of Reading Force has been annihilated, and the rest have fled into Taiyuan City." Zhang Biao happily changed his name to the eldest brother.

In this regard, Zhang Mingyu is not surprised, Zhang Biao calls him eldest brother, that is definitely worthy of the name, although this guy is not his relative, but since he came to this world, he has followed his birth and death, and he is loyal to himself, and the relationship between the two is no longer as simple as superiors and subordinates.

Definitely brothers in life and death.

"Great!" Zhang Mingyu applauded.

"Big brother, should we mobilize troops to surround Taiyuan next? Attack Taiyuan! Regain Taiyuan as soon as possible. Zhang Biao asked.

"No, don't launch an attack on Taiyuan for the time being, but the encirclement is certain, you tell Niu Tiangui to let him lead a group to cross the Fen River tonight, set up a position on the east bank of the Fen River, wait for orders at any time, and give the devil a two-sided attack." Zhang Mingyu said to Zhang Biao.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao asked puzzledly: "Our army's morale is booming now, why don't you take Taiyuan with all your might?" ”

"I'm waiting for Li Gang and them, once their plan can succeed, then the casualties we will pay for attacking Taiyuan will be much less!" Zhang Mingyu explained.

"Yes! Little brother understands! Zhang Biao stood up.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said: "You tell Niu Tiangui to let him bring more sappers, and let the sappers build some pontoon bridges when crossing the Fen River, now that the weather is cold, the soldiers can't swim across the river!" In addition, let the artillery be ready at any time to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to launch an attack on the regiment and protect the regiment to cross the river smoothly! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Biao suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and left.

…………………………… Shuozhou, the rear of the Reading Army stayed in the hospital.

In a ward, about four or five people were gathering together and muttering quietly, only to hear a boy with a plain face say: "Brother Wang, we have been here for almost two centuries, that nurse Hu was stunned and refused to let us out of the hospital, I heard that our troops have now reached Taiyuan, and it seems that Taiyuan is about to be recovered, and our brothers are still eating and sleeping here every day, sleeping and eating, it's just too aggrieved!" ”

"That's right! I haven't touched a gun for so long, and my hands are itching to death! Another warrior followed.

"What's the noise, Lao Tzu is also anxious, but what can be done, which of you can solve which Nurse Hu?" Wang Hanshan said loudly. Obviously, these people were all wounded soldiers of the third company of the second division, the third regiment.

As soon as they heard the mention of Nurse Hu, everyone suddenly became honest, and they all sighed with sad faces.

At this time, another soldier who seemed to be more clever came up with an idea: "Squad leader, although we can't figure out which "Hu Laohu" is, we can steal it." ”

"Stealing?" Xu Wen, Wang Hanshan and others said in unison.

"Yes, we can leave tonight, so we can go without knowing it, and when Hu Laohu finds out that we have run away, where will they look for us." The warrior said.

"Good idea, just do it." Wang Hanshan smacked and said, "Awen, what do you think? ”

"We all listen to Brother Wang!" Xu Wen and the others.

"Alright, now everyone sleeps, let's leave on time after twelve o'clock!" Wang Hanshan Road.

"Hmm!" Everyone nodded in unison, and then went back to their beds to sleep.
