The old devil Itagaki Seishiro led his Fifth Division to attack Linyi for the second time, and as soon as he came up, he put on a decisive posture, and the plane bombing was followed by a heavy artillery strike, and then with the brigade as a unit, he rushed towards the Linyi defense area with great momentum.

The five regiments of the Third Army Corps are now only a showcase, although the soldiers are determined to resist the little devils with fortifications, but the number of people is too different from the Japanese army, after desperately resisting for a day, in order not to be completely annihilated by the Japanese army in the line of fire, Commander Pang ordered the troops to cover alternately, and retreated to the area of Taoyuan Huangshan in the east of Linyi City to resist. At the same time, Pang Bingxun hurriedly sent a telegram to the war zone and to the Military Commission, requesting that reinforcements be sent immediately. After learning of the crisis on the Linyi front, the committee was so anxious that he crossed the Fifth War Zone and personally called Zhang Zizhong, asking the 59th Army to immediately reinforce the Linyi front.

Gao Quan's Independent Brigade was given a heavy responsibility at the beginning of this battle, and all the high-ranking officers of the three army corps unanimously demanded that the Independent Brigade shoulder more important "responsibilities". Gao Quan knew that these people were taking revenge on what their troops had done a few days ago, although he knew so, he was duty-bound! It's not to apologize for the performance of his troops a few days ago, this is his attitude towards devils, it's better to be able to fight the enemy flexibly and flexibly, and when it really comes to the point where he needs to fight hard, he has never been afraid to fight!

No matter how well the fortifications are done, they can't stop the wanton bombardment of the devil's planes and heavy artillery, and the vast majority of the soldiers in the troops have not gone through a major battle. Although along the way here, Gao Quan has been trying his best to get his troops to adapt to the atmosphere of war as soon as possible, but such a bloody scene, these former mountain kings have never seen it after all, everyone is not afraid of returning, when it is time to die, they still have to die. By the time the devil infantry began to charge, the independent brigade had already lost hundreds of people!

Although Gao Quan's troops have become brigades, the number has not increased at all, and the few people who were abducted from the Third Army Corps are said to be abducting friendly troops, but it is better to say that they are pranks, and how much role can those people play in such a big war?

As soon as the devil came up, the soldiers of the independent brigade began to fight back, for fear that the soldiers would not know how to cooperate with the indiscriminate shooting, Gao Quan formulated a shooting batch for everyone, just like the platoon guns put in the early days of the Europeans, and divided the soldiers in each position into three to five batches, the first batch went up to shoot five bullets, then replaced with the second batch, and then the third batch, just like that, batch after batch, the soldiers went back and forth, although the number of shooters on the front line was not dense enough, the marksmanship of these people was not bad, at least, They're much better than a recruit who has never touched a gun, right?

In this way, Gao Quan and his independent brigade were struggling to support, and the entire Third Army was struggling, until the position of one of his regiments was occupied by devils, and only a dozen people were left in the whole regiment to withdraw, Pang Bingxun saw that the position had been broken through, and in desperation, he ordered the troops to retreat.

The rest of the Third Army are all war-resistant veterans, and Gao Quan knows that Pang Bingxun will not give up Linyi easily in this battle, and of course he will not take the initiative to stay and break the rear. As soon as he received the order to retreat, he immediately divided the troops of his three regiments into three groups and retreated to Taoyuan under cross-cover. The units of the separate brigade, like their brigade commanders, were promoted one level out of thin air, and the three battalion commanders were collectively promoted to regimental commanders. Although the number of subordinates has not changed, they are now all dignified ** colonel commanders. Gao Quan: This is to first put up the shelves of the troops, so as to lay the foundation for the expansion of the troops in the future.

Under the strict orders of their corps commanders, Pang Bingxun's division and brigade commanders also withdrew to the east of Linyi City in batches, and resisted the devils on the spot according to the fortifications.

Itagaki Seishiro was ruthless, this time he must wipe out the Pang army under Linyi City, and avenge his defeat in Linyi in the first battle! Several wings of the Fifth Division took turns to send them to the position, and the flames of battle turned the sky red.

The Independent Brigade relied on their brigade commander's fanatic love for collecting heavy weapons, and possessed more large-caliber mortars and heavy machine guns than the entire regiment of the Third Army.

The devils went crazy, and let our army's light and heavy machine guns fire wildly, falling batch after batch, and the dead bodies were piled up, still screaming and rushing forward. Gao Quan carefully observed the charging formation of the devils, and the devils everywhere were like sprinkled soybeans, as if they were everywhere. The devil charge formation is like a fan, forming a line into a surface, and there seems to be an invisible hand holding the handle of the fan behind it. Holding the binoculars, he looked in the direction of the fan handle, which was blocked by a small forest.

"Get me Fukuda Yi!" In this situation, it's better to find this guy who knows the devil best. Although Gao Quan was more suspicious of that grove, he still wanted to get confirmation from Futian Yi, this chance should only be once, and he didn't want to fight a battle that he was not sure of.

Jin Hu agreed and ran down, and a few minutes later, Futian Yi came up wearing a steel helmet, wasn't the original surrender alive because he didn't want to die? If it weren't for Gao Quan's strict order, Fukuda Yi would never want to come to this kind of battlefield full of death danger in his life.

"Where do you see where the front commander of the Japanese army is?" Gao Quan handed the telescope to Takeshi Fukuda next to him.

Fukuda Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as it wasn't for the general's impatience and wanted to sacrifice him. Futian Yi was called by the golden tiger, he was really startled at the time, he knew the crisis of the current squadron, of course, he knew that there was a sacrificial flag in the ancient Chinese army, this general is young, but don't have any feudal remnants of the old thoughts, he was not in a good mood, so he sacrificed me to the flag! It wasn't until I heard Gao Quan say this that this heart was put in my stomach.

As long as you don't kill him on the spot, you can do anything. Fukuda Yi took the binoculars and carefully observed the Japanese army's offensive formation, the 10th Division where he was originally and the 5th Division in front of him were both elite divisions in the Japanese army, although there were differences in the arrangement of troops, but the general direction was still the same. After holding the binoculars and observing for two minutes, Takeshi Fukuda stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, "General, the front-line commander of the Japanese army must be in that direction, in that woods." As far as I judged, there should have been the command of a wing. ”

"Wing Command?" There was a hint of excitement in Gao Quan's tone, "Is the Devil Wing Captain in the command department?" After saying this, Gao Quan regretted it a little again, Fukuda Yi was not from the Devil Wing Headquarters, how could he know that the captain of the Dazuo Wing was not in the command headquarters? If this sentence hurts Fukuda's fragile heart and makes him bear any psychological burden from now on, wouldn't it be very unreasonable? Who would have thought that Fukuda's next words immediately proved that Gao Quan's worries were purely unnecessary.

"The devil Dazuo must be in the wing headquarters! The troops are fighting, and there is no way he can leave his post without permission! When fighting, whether it is a brigade or a division, they will not casually send a front-line commander to report to work, and now that the devil is on the offensive, as a wing commander, he will not go to the front line to supervise the battle, Dazuo must be in that woods! "When it comes to devils now, Fukuda Yi is smoother than authentic Chinese soldiers.
