Two scout cavalrymen, one with a submachine gun, fired fiercely, and the other raised his pistol to fire flares.

At the same time, they also turned their horses' heads vigilantly and galloped away the way they came.

Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, more than 1,000 devil soldiers immediately fired frequently with rifles and chased after them quickly.

Naturally, the two-legged devil infantry could not match the mounted scouts of the new army.

The sound of gunfire and signal flares had already alarmed Ge Quanwu's regiment, and when the two cavalrymen rushed back to the regimental position first, the regiment commander Ge Quanwu had already commanded the troops with several battalion and company commanders to prepare for battle.

"Tuanza, devils sneak attack!" One of the horsemen reined in his horse and shouted at the top of his voice.

"How many devils are there?" Ge Quanwu jumped out of the trench with a steel helmet and asked.

"I don't know, I can't see it clearly in the dark, it is estimated that there are no less than a few hundred people, and there is still movement on the river, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of follow-up." Another cavalryman replied.

"Damn, you can't let all the little devils cross the river and go ashore, you two immediately go and inform Commander Li and ask him to send a tank regiment over to help us drive the little devils down the river!" Ge Quanwu pointed to the two cavalrymen and ordered.

"Yes!" The two horsemen immediately turned their horses and led the way.

Ge Quanwu turned his head again and shouted: "The first battalion stays behind, the second battalion, and the third battalion are ready to attack with me, and when the tank troops arrive, we will rush up and drive the little devil down the river for me!" ”

More than a thousand infantrymen began to prepare for the charge, and the riflemen began to draw their bayonets with indifferent expressions and load them on the heads of their guns.

The Heavy retracts the tripod used as a heavy machine gun and wraps the metal chain around his arm and neck, ready to charge with the machine gun at any time.

It didn't take long for about a hundred tanks to arrive.

Li Zhenyuan jumped down on a tank, "Commander Ge!" ”

"Commander Li, are you here in person?" Ge Quanwu walked out of the trench with some surprise.

"Well, how's the enemy?" Li Zhenyuan's voice fell, and a burst of bullets suddenly flew from the north of Guanjiabao.

"Clanging, bang, bang......" Most of the bullets hit the tank's defensive armor, and a series of dazzling sparks burst out in the dark night.

"Commander Li's news, the little devil is here." Ge Quanwu stepped forward with concern, and the two of them walked quickly into the trench with their waists bent.

Li Zhenyuan helped his crooked steel helmet, spat at the mouth and scolded: "Damn, the little devil is coming fast enough." ”

As he spoke, more than 200 general-purpose machine guns of the tank regiment had already opened fire one after another, and the dense firepower was particularly dazzling in the dark night, forming a scorching network of firepower like tongues of fire.

The powerful and dense machine-gun fire hit the pursuing devils who were also stunned, and most of the devils were suppressed to the death and could not continue to advance.

"Captain Ge, do you have any ideas? What shall we do? Li Zhenyuan looked at Ge Quanwu and asked.

"My scout report, the devils who are chasing them should only be the vanguard of the devils, and the follow-up army should still be behind, in order to prevent the big landing of the Yue himself, I suggest that we immediately use the tanks you brought as the backbone, and take the initiative to attack the Yue himself, first defeat this group of devil pursuers, and then suppress the main force of the devils who are crossing the river back to the east bank to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Ge Quanwudao.

"Well, I think so too, so, I will lead the tank regiment in front, and you will follow with the infantry." Li Zhenyuan nodded.

"Good!" As soon as Ge Quanwu nodded, Li Zhenyuan jumped out and ran towards his tank.

"Fire cover!" Ge Quanwu shouted loudly.

Soon, Li Zhenyuan rushed to his tank and skillfully climbed up, while the machine gunners were firing fiercely.

"Commander, what shall we do?" A driver asked.

"Don't stop, the whole regiment immediately started to attack the devils, this is just a small force of devils." Li Zhenyuan quickly ordered.

After saying that, he picked up the wireless walkie-talkie again and began to give orders to other tanks.

Soon, his orders were transmitted to other tanks.

The tankers started their tanks one after another, and the roar of the motors roared again, and more than 100 tanks roared towards the more than 1,000 devils who were lying on the ground and completely engaged in fire with them.

At this time, a round of flares was fired from the position of Ge Quanwu's regiment, and the bright flares instantly illuminated the night as if it were day.

With the help of flares, the machine gunners of the tank regiment greatly increased their shooting accuracy, and the dense bullets accurately poured down on the devil's head.

As soon as the tank regiment started, Ge Quanwu stood up in vain with a general-purpose machine gun and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

"Kill! Kill, rush! More than 1,000 infantry of the New Army jumped up one after another, shouting to kill Earthquake and rushed out with Ge Quanwu.

At the beginning of the assault led by Li Zhenyuan and the tank regiment, more than 1,000 devil pursuit troops began to retreat in a hurry, they knew that on the flat bank of the river, there was no shelter, once the tank group crushed them, there would be only one fate waiting for them, that is, death.

Although the speed of the tank on the flat road is not as fast as that of cars and war horses, it is much faster than the speed of the devil infantry, and it did not take long for the 1,000 devil soldiers to catch up with Li Zhenyuan and a hundred No. 4 tanks.

The two general-purpose machine guns on each tank were fired at full power, and countless devil soldiers could not dodge and fell in pieces.

The distance of three kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, and more than 1,000 devils had been shot and killed by Li Zhenyuan's tank regiment, and at this time, hundreds of devils had already landed on the shore.

The hundreds of devils who retreated instantly scattered them, and the tankmen drove the tanks in pursuit with a roar, and the machine gunners carried out indiscriminate and fierce strafing with machine guns.

The devil soldiers, who couldn't dodge, kept wailing and fell down one after another like cutting wheat.

Soon, Ge Quanwu arrived with two battalions of infantry, and the infantry appeared in the gap between the tanks, relying on the tanks to join the fire.

The light machine guns equipped by the devils were fundamentally powerless against the weak firepower of the 38 rifle and the powerful firepower of the Northeast New Army.

Under the powerful fire of thousands of Garand rifles, submachine guns and hundreds of machine guns, the little 2,000 devils who crossed the river were quickly slaughtered.

After eliminating the devils who crossed the river, Li Zhenyuan commanded the tank crews to turn around and open fire on the east bank.

The surface of the river, which is less than 100 meters, is completely within the range of the super effective firepower of the new officers and men in the northeast.

The devil soldiers on the other side who were waiting for boats to cross the river suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and all the wooden boats and rubber boats that the devils hastily mobilized on the river were also destroyed.

The bombardment of tanks and artillery lasted for more than half an hour, and most of the large amount of equipment for crossing the river prepared by the army on the east bank was destroyed, and the operation of crossing the river was completely unsuccessful, and they withdrew one after another.

Compared with Tianming, in the city of Shenyang, the army headquarters.

A devil major general's arm was wrapped in gauze and hung on his chest, and blood was faintly spilling from the gauze.

Shunroku Hata was slapping the devil in the face and slashing the bow left and right.

Every time he hit, Shunroku Hata would scold angrily.

After a while, the devil's major general's face swollen into a pig's head.

However, although this devil major general was beaten, he had to keep bowing his head and keep keeping Hai Yi, and always put his head straight to bear the anger of Shunroku Hatata.

Toshishi Hata hit the unlucky devil major general dozens of times before his anger stopped for a while, and he panted and made his ass on the chair.

At this time, Toranosuke Hashimoto waved his hand to the devil major general who was in charge of last night's operation and motioned for him to leave.

The devil's major general was like being pardoned, and hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.

"General, don't be angry, your body matters, although the operation failed last night, we still have a chance." Toranosuke Hashimoto persuaded with relief.

Shunroku Hata's face was gloomy and said, "Is there still a chance?" Hmph, the imperial army's outer positions in Xinmin City are already in danger, last night's operation failed, today Xinmin City will definitely not be able to hold on, if Xinmin is lost, Shenyang will fall into a passive situation of encirclement on three sides, whether we can hold out for a month has become unknown! ”

"Do you have any good ideas, General?" Toranosuke Hashimoto asked tentatively.

"Use aviation units to recapture Guanjiabao and reopen the connection between Xinmin and Shenyang." After Shunroku Hataketake, he looked at Toranosuke Hashimoto and said, "Hashimoto-kun, this matter is going to be entrusted to you, I hope you can persuade His Excellency Commander Muto to carefully explain and report to him the grave situation we are facing now, and ask him to send aviation troops, please." ”

Toranosuke Hashimoto nodded undeniably when he heard this.

…………………… In Xinmin City, as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu ordered the troops to attack the Yue army again.

It was the artillery that fired first.

Looking at the outside of Xinmin City, where the cannon roared, Wang Yizhe said to Gao Chu: "Senior Commander, I heard that I tried to smuggle across the Liao River from the north bank last night, but fortunately I was discovered and beaten back by our army in time.

"Don't worry, old sir, I will personally rush to the front line and command the officers and men of my 9th Division to launch an attack, which is bound to break through the defense line of the army in one fell swoop and encircle Xinmin City." Gao Chu stepped forward and said solemnly.

Wang Yizhe nodded noncommittally, raised the telescope and continued to observe the effect of his own artillery bombardment.

The army's periphery in Xinmin's position was already precarious, and with the presence of Gao Chu, the commander of the 9th Division, to the front line, the morale of the officers and men of the 9th Division was greatly boosted, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

However, just as they were about to completely break through the defense line in the northwest direction of the Yue Army, thousands of devil troops suddenly poured out of the city.

With the addition of these thousands of devils' new forces, the devils' crumbling defense line was stabilized.

Gao Chu, who was commanding at the front line, was very surprised when he saw this: "Fuck, which one is this little devil singing?" Should they even send in reserves? ”
