readx; Zhang Teng led his guard squad to the front, and more than a dozen submachine guns formed a powerful fist, constantly crushing the small group of troops that had just been gathered, and breaking through to the depth of the enemy's position. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese army, which had not yet recovered from the blow of the explosion of the artillery position, was beaten back again and again by the fierce assault of the death squads, and in addition, it was unable to grasp the current situation because it could not understand the strength of the other side, and it was completely out of the position of being beaten in the first ten minutes.

When the death squad attacked the depth of the army, they encountered organized resistance: a heavy machine gun fired fiercely from a mound 100 meters away, and the dozen or so daredevils who rushed to the front were immediately knocked to the ground, and the follow-up troops had to lie on the ground.

Zhang Teng knew that he must not let Yue Jun have a chance to breathe, and he shouted to the guards lying beside him: "Kill it for me!" ”

The two guards each held a bundle of grenades under their armpits, rose up from the left and right sides, and ran forward quickly, while the rest of the men threw more than a dozen grenades in a row under Zhang Teng's command, confusing the Yue army with the smoke from the explosion, and then fired continuously with submachine guns, and the bullets splashed dots of dirt in front of the Yue army's firing point.

However, the fighters on the left had just rushed out more than twenty meters away when they were hit by enemy bullets and fell headlong to the ground. The fighter on the right first ran a few steps, then made a beautiful leap, pounced on the ground, then rolled sideways five or six meters away, and then jumped up and rushed forward, a dense stream of machine-gun bullets chasing and jumping in front of and behind him, but none of them hit the target. Seeing that the opponent's sturdy figure was getting closer and closer, the commander of the army behind the firing point took out his pistol and joined the attack.

When the distance was only more than 30 meters away, the heavy machine gun could no longer keep up with the opponent's movements, and the commander of the army shouted for support from a dozen soldiers not far away while shooting.

A light machine gun and a dozen rifles joined in, and the bullets were constantly bouncing around and over the guard's head, and at this time, there was only about twenty meters left from the heavy machine gun of the army, so he no longer moved left and right, but picked up the grenade and ran wildly. Suddenly, a bullet hit him in the abdomen, and he staggered a few steps, then jerked the pull ring and rushed over with a wild roar.

The commander of the army stood up from the trench with a "Teng" sound, fired three shots in a row, and three black blood holes immediately appeared in the guard's chest, blood gushed out, and his footsteps suddenly slowed down, and finally his body fell to the ground, at this time, the distance between him and the heavy machine gun was only ten meters away!

The cluster grenade exploded violently, blowing the guards to the ground, and a piece of shrapnel a few centimeters wide flew out with his eternal hatred, cutting off the right hand of the commander holding the gun to the wrist, and the battlefield immediately resounded with a pig-like wail.

Taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion in front of the heavy machine guns to block the enemy's view, the death squad rushed forward for several tens of meters, but a gust of evening wind dispersed the smoke, and the heavy machine guns began to roar again, crushing the attacking troops to the bottom of the dirt slope.

However, the superiority of the Yue army did not last long, and a large hand stained with blood and mud suddenly stretched out from the front of the heavy machine gun, firmly grasping the hot body of the gun, and then, a face that was also covered with blood stretched out - it turned out that the soldier who was attacking from the left was hit in the leg by a bullet, and when the Yue army was fighting his companion with all his might, he dragged his wounded leg and successfully avoided the eyes of the enemy and climbed to the top of the mound.

Looking at the stunned expression of the machine gunner, the Chinese soldier smiled faintly and detonated the cluster grenade. The heavy machine gun flew high in the flames and smashed heavily on the head of a soldier next to him, and his brain burst out, and he was killed! Several soldiers behind the firing point were also blown into a blur of flesh and blood, turning into a rain of blood.

The daredevils were angry, jumped up one after another, and rushed towards the army, and many soldiers rushed directly into the enemy group and detonated the bombs on their bodies. The army had always been fond of suicide attacks, but they had never suffered the same blow, and the continuous explosions and the flying stumps and severed arms quickly destroyed the determination and will to resist, and they all turned around and ran back.

When the death squad passed through an open field, it was attacked by mortars arranged by the army behind the flank, and after three salvos, it lost one-third of its members, Zhang Teng hurriedly ordered to stop the pursuit, and before the army could react, quickly retreated backwards, chasing the light and serious wounded who were transferred to Tiger Mountain.

Only 88 of the 300 daredevils at the time of departure survived, but it cost the army more than 1,000 people.

At the same time, the news that the blocking troops had begun a fierce battle with the main force of the Yue army also came, and Liang Shiji looked at the black arrows on the map representing the direction of the enemy's attack and suddenly realized that the army was going to use the six brigades on the periphery to drive their troops into the trap set up, and Zengcheng was the cover of this trap! As long as the army seals this cover, the 154th Division will be unable to fly, because the nearest reinforcements are also 200 kilometers away!

In order to confirm his speculation, Liang Shiji immediately called the 157th Division to inquire about the movements of the Zengcheng Army, and the result was the same as he expected: the enemy sent a large brigade of troops, with the cooperation of the artillery squadron, to advance to the foot of Laohu Mountain, and then began to build fortifications as if no one was around, apparently preparing to drag the 157th Division down. Although the strength of the 157th Division was close to ten times that of the Yue Army, it lacked sufficient artillery support, and several successive attacks were beaten back, so it had to temporarily stalemate with the Yue Army.

Liang Shiji realized that the situation was critical, and hurriedly ordered the scattered troops not to fall in love with the battle, and to use the tactics of successive resistance to move closer to Zengcheng and join the division headquarters, and at the same time ordered the first regiment to block the main force of the Yue army for at least ten hours, to buy time for the assembly of troops, his plan was to rush to the 18th Division before the reinforcements arrived and the 157th Division to attack the front and back, defeat the Yue army in the north of the city, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover Zengcheng, and finally fight a decisive battle with the Yue army from Guangzhou under the city!

After receiving the reports of the 154th Division and the 157th Division, Gao Fei was taken aback: these two divisions had just suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Huiguang, and although the soldiers lost had been replenished, the heavy artillery had not yet been in place. The ferocity and shamelessness of the army have long been taught, and they may not know when poison gas will be used, and with the help of bombers, where is the chance of victory?

Gao Fei immediately ordered the 157th Division to attack the current army with all its might, open the passage connecting with the 154th Division, and immediately retreat north after the two armies converged; The 78th Division and the Jewish Regiment immediately advanced at full speed to meet the retreating troops; The 156th Division and the New 2nd Division approached Guangzhou from the west, forcing the Yue army to return for reinforcements; The local troops on the south bank of the Pearl River moved closer to Shunde and Foshan, harassing and attacking the garrison, making it impossible for them to divide their forces to support Guangzhou.

The stubborn resistance of the 1st Regiment of the 154th Division made the 18th Division's action 12 hours late, and when the army arrived at Zengcheng, the blocking troops out of the city had been defeated and retreated under the front and rear flanking of the [***] team, and the 154th Division and the 157th Division merged together, and retreated in the direction of Britain and Germany.

Ando Toshiyoshi knew that this encirclement and annihilation operation had failed, so he had to order the 18th Division to return to Guangzhou, however, what he didn't expect was that the Chinese [***] team had no intention of truce, to be precise, the local security forces assembled in Jiangmen, Taishan and other places on the Pearl River wanted to have a good fight with him!

General Li Wuzi, the county magistrate of Xinhui County, was Yu Hanmou's classmate in the sixth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, and after graduation, he served in Chen Jitang's Guangdong Army, and was once promoted to the position of division commander, but later Chen Jitang in order to achieve his goal of becoming the king of the South Tianwang, in the name of rectification, excluded dissident forces in the army, and Li Wuzi, who did not agree with his proposition, was dismissed from his military post and sent to Xinhui County as the county magistrate.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Wuzi, who was born in the military, knew very well the necessary and urgent surnames for the formation of reserve forces, so he changed the county's 16 district offices into joint defense offices, and each joint defense office appointed a director and deputy director, assigned a quartermaster, an adjutant, and a secretary and allocated a start-up fee, and then let each joint defense department show its own magic and expand the army.

Guangdong, as the birthplace of the National Revolution, has experienced many wars such as the rebellion of the merchant group, the rebellion of Chen Jiongming, the Northern Expedition and the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, coupled with the extremely rampant armed smuggling, so the scattered civilian guns and retired soldiers are the most in the country.

A few months later, County Magistrate Li found that the joint defense offices, which were originally just empty heads, were actually fully equipped with guns, so he upgraded the joint defense offices to self-defense brigades. After the Battle of Huiguang, Gao Fei reorganized the local armed forces, and County Magistrate Li, who had 16 brigades in his hands, was appointed as a major general of the 12th Group Army and commander of the fifth guerrilla column of the Fourth Theater, and a brigade-sized guerrilla unit was listed on the Fourth Theater's troop strength list.

After receiving the combat mission issued by the theater headquarters, Li Wuzi did not act in a perfunctory manner like the commanders of other local units, but issued an order for combat readiness with the quality of a professional soldier, and the troops of more than 5,000 troops from the 16 brigades to which he belonged were assembled within two days and marched towards Foshan!

Stationed in Foshan was composed of two infantry brigades to form a reading force of the first infantry team, and when these arrogant soldiers saw thousands of peasant troops in different costumes and weapons in their hands building fortifications outside the city as if no one was there, preparing to attack the city, their mood was simply terrible!

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the army has divided the opponent's troops into several levels according to their combat effectiveness according to the experience gained from fighting with the Chinese [***] team: the first level is the well-equipped and well-trained Ninth Army Corps; The second level is the German-style division of the Central Army represented by the Central Teaching Corps, the 88th Division, the 87th Division and the 36th Division; The third level is the troops of local forces, including the Gui lineage, the Dian army, and the Jin army; Finally, there are the local security forces. The army on the opposite side is obviously not even a security force, and they actually dare to attack the fortified city guarded by the elite troops of the imperial army, such a behavior is such a great insult to the Great Emperor and the imperial army! The captain of the 1st Infantry believed that even the wise Emperor could not tolerate such an insult and that they must be taught with the blood of * men to respect the Imperial Army!

The enraged captain of the 1st Infantry left two squadrons in the city and then went out of the city, led by nine light tanks.

However, as soon as the front foot of the army left the city, the peasant army outside the city scattered in a hurry, scattering in all directions, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they disappeared into the jungle on both sides of the highway after three turns and two rounds, and only a team of nearly 1,000 people retreated along the highway in the direction of Heshan.

How could the army let go of this opportunity and immediately chase after them, but before they had gone far, the soldiers of the Xinhui County Special Service Brigade, who were hidden in the jungle on the side of the road, climbed to the top of the trees and fired cold guns, and the brave soldiers simply ran to a place only a few dozen meters away from the road and threw grenades. Although the attack did not cause much damage to the Yue army, it seriously affected the speed of the Yue army's pursuit, and the angry Yue army commander sent a small group of soldiers to rush into the jungle to search for the attackers, however, after a fierce burst of gunfire, no one came back alive. By the time a squadron arrived, they only saw bamboo nails and dozens of corpses all over the ground, and the squadron had already disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the mood of the officers and men can only be described as angry, and they vowed to break the guerrillas into pieces, but by the time the army quickly advanced along the highway to Baisha Town near Heshan, the main force of the guerrilla column had been waiting on the position for a long time!

Finally, we waited for the opportunity to fight head-on, just to give full play to the advantages of the imperial army's firepower and training, so the army launched a charge at the Baisha position with the coordination of the tanks, but before it went far, the tank suddenly stopped, and the driver poked his head out of the tank and pointed at the anti-tank mines on the ground and shouted, and the army all stood on the starting position. When the sappers covered in cold sweat gently flicked the anti-tank mines, they were surprised to find that they were works of art carefully woven from leaves.

Just as the chariots and infantry of the Yue army were crowded together, the Xinhui County police squadron, under the leadership of the captain, quietly touched through a ditch on the side, and then suddenly opened fire, dense bullets flew around the tank, many bullets hit the steel plate of the tank, although it did not cause substantial damage, but watching the sparks flying, these militiamen who fought with the Yue army for the first time felt overjoyed, and shot more vigorously.

After being knocked down more than a dozen soldiers in a row, the rest of the army hurriedly lay down, and some simply drilled directly into the gap between the tanks, not daring to act rashly, and what was even more ridiculous was that the tank captain, who had been made nervous by the fake mines, asked the sappers to completely remove the mines, otherwise they refused to move!

The army launched the tank again, and with the support of artillery, attacked the defender's position head-on, but in front of the tank, hundreds of heavy pig cages weighing hundreds of pounds appeared, forcing the tank to advance in a roundabout way.

The battle lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the dozens of charges of the Japanese army were all repulsed, and the number of casualties had exceeded 300, but there was still no hope of breaking through the position.

In the end, the infantry captain had no choice but to cheekily report to the headquarters of the 21st Army, saying that he was blocked by the superior [***] team and needed to send air reinforcements.

Three bombers finally flew over the battlefield before dark, and continuously dropped bombs on the defenders' positions, however, instead of retreating, the squadron counterattacked with all its might!

A few minutes later, one of the enemy planes was hit by a machine-gun bullet on the left flank and fled in a hurry toward the Guangzhou airport with billowing smoke. After the officers and men watched the plane disappear into the sky, they erupted in thunderous cheers, and their morale was immediately high!

As night fell, the squadron took turns attacking the Japanese army from all directions, not only repulsing the enemy, but also compressing them on the narrow road, immobilizing them. After nightfall, the self-defense forces in Taishan and other places also rushed to join the attack, and the sound of gunfire continued throughout the night, and the army could only rely on the cover of tanks to resist stubbornly and wait for the dawn to come.

After daybreak, the army turned around and returned to Foshan, and the strength of the army had been sharply reduced from 1,500 at the time of departure to less than 800.

The people of Guangdong not only have a fierce folk style, but also have a very bad habit: beat the water dogs!

At that time, the British army was beaten by the villagers in Sanyuanli and fled, and the villagers from other places immediately came to help, to a large extent, to fight the water dogs. Now that the army has become a reservoir dog, how can it be easily let go? As a result, various forces gathered people and attacked along the way. At the same time, the 3rd and 7th Guangdong Provincial Security Regiments, which had been waiting for a long time, suddenly attacked Foshan, and the defenders of more than 400 people were unable to support after holding out for half an hour, and the security forces rushed into the city through a dozen gaps and expelled the Yue troops. By the time the first infantry brigade finally retreated to the foot of Foshan City, the flag of the [***] team was already fluttering on the city wall!

In the end, under the cover of tanks and bombers, the Japanese army barely managed to fight their way out and fled to the South China Sea. After this battle, Goofy and Ando Toshiyoshi realized the benefits and disadvantages of the Guangdong civilian armed forces at the same time, and coincidentally adjusted their deployment to prepare for a new battle.

After receiving the report that the guerrilla column and the security forces had recovered Foshan, Gao Fei immediately ordered the two units to withdraw from the county seat and wait in concealment in the surrounding villages.

In Gao Fei's view, the victory of the troops in those places was to a large extent caused by the light enemy of the Yue army, and if the human body had stuck to the city, the Yue army would definitely have launched a large-scale counterattack, causing immeasurable losses.

However, the performance of the local troops still made Gao Fei and the theater command feel very gratified, and with the support of such loyal and brave local troops, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War and the balance of forces in Guangdong will undergo a fundamental change.

Therefore, Gao Fei urgently transferred a batch of anti-tank guns from Fujian to equip Li Wuzi's troops, and transferred 50 officers to reorganize and train the troops.
