The gunfire was as dense as raindrops during heavy rain, but fortunately, this rain was not even cloudy, it was showers, and it didn't last long, and the rain became lighter. After waiting for a while, the clouds and rain stopped, the gunfire stopped, and everything was as if nothing had happened, except for a large number of corpses on the battlefield.

Cao Bin stood up when the fighting had completely stopped, he was not a soldier of the 500 Army, nor was he a soldier, no one blamed him for being timid and afraid of death. Carrying a gun, he looked blankly at the battlefield where the smoke gradually dissipated, the soldiers of the 500 Army were cleaning the battlefield, and Cao Bin had never seen the scene after the battle. There were soldiers who searched the bodies of dead bodies, a job that was difficult for ordinary people to do, but these soldiers of the 500 Army seemed to be familiar with the road, and he watched a soldier search the devil from head to toe, from hat to shoes, in less than half a minute, and got two boxes of bullets, a wallet, a watch, and a pack of cigarettes.

There are a few devils who are not dead, but they are seriously injured and are struggling underground. A soldier of our army who was close to him used to cut his neck with a knife, and the devil kicked his leg twice and did not move.

The cruelty on the battlefield can never be understood by people who have never been on the battlefield, like Cao Bin, who usually thinks that he is also ruthless, but after visiting the battlefield once, he immediately found the gap between himself and these ordinary soldiers. These warriors can stick daggers into the hearts of dying devils without changing their faces, and Cao Bin may be able to do it, but he will never be able to do that kind of indifference, and he will take it for granted.

"Xiaobin, you can save two thousand yuan this time." Gao Quan walked over and greeted Cao Bin with a smile, "I also have a few more machine guns and a few grenadiers, so we can be regarded as the best of both worlds." It's a pity, my channel to buy information in the future has been cut off by me, you won't blame me, right? Gao Quan looked at Cao Bin seriously, as if he was really a little apologetic.

"Where, where, Commander Gao said with a smile. We have other channels, and Kamura Masato's side is just one of them. No matter what kind of intelligence you have, it can't be as useful as killing the Japanese army! Commander Gao really deserves to be a battlefield general, and when he raised his hand, the Japanese chief was awarded the head, and the thief was killed. Facing Gao Quan again at this time, Cao Bin was only in awe, endless awe, and said compliments without a mouth.

"Okay, Xiaobin doesn't have to praise me anymore, I know what's going on. Let's go, let's get out of here, the devils will be here soon! "The gunfire just now is so intense, it won't be long before the devils in the city will rush over, Gao Quan has to leave this place of right and wrong with his troops! Cao Bin knew that Gao Quan was reasonable, and after nodding his head in agreement, he immediately ran to the front to regain his identity as a guide, and led the revenge detachment to leave Yueyang City quickly.

In April of the 32nd year of the Republic of China, the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders began to gradually gather troops to the north and west of Dongting Lake. In light of the previous combat situation of the Japanese army, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government judged that the Japanese army might be about to launch another new battle against our Sixth Theater, so it ordered the Sixth Theater Commander's Headquarters to deploy as soon as possible and prepare to meet the enemy! Since Chen Cheng, commander of the Sixth Theater, was really unable to leave Chongqing, and Minister Chen's health had not been very good, General Sun Lianzhong had been acting as the commander of the Sixth Theater since January. Now, when Chief Sun, who was in charge of the command of the theater commander for the first time, was full of ambition and pride, the Japanese army came to attack, and it was right for Chief Sun's appetite!

Sun Lianzhong is not a peaceful general, since the devil entered the customs, General Sun has always led his troops to fight with the Japanese slaves on the front line. In the famous Battle of Taierzhuang, Commander-in-Chief Sun led the Second Army to hold the main position of Taierzhuang, although the casualties of the troops exceeded 70%, but they swore to hold on to it until the battle finally won a great victory! It was also on that occasion that General Sun won the reputation of the steel head of the Anti-Japanese War.

Now, the Japanese slaves are attacking again, and General Sun is finally able to command hundreds of thousands of troops in a war zone to fight the Japanese invaders in a decisive battle! After receiving the order from the Military Commission, Sun Lianzhong, who was full of fighting spirit, immediately issued a general mobilization order for the war to all units in the Sixth Theater, requiring all units to string their bows and unsheath their swords, and be ready to fight the Japanese invaders at any time.

At dawn on May 5, the 32nd year of the Republic of China, the Japanese invaders went to war without declaring war. The 3rd Division of the Japanese invaded the position of the New 23rd Division of the 87th Army of the 10th Group Army from the vicinity of Lotus Pond Mouth; The 17th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade attacked the position of the 15th Division of the 73rd Army of the 29th Group Army at Maocaojie from the east of Lochikou; Xiaochai's detachment attacked from Shishou to the position of the 15th Division of Tuanshan Temple; The Toda detachment attacked from the vicinity of Huarong to the position of the Provisional Fifth Division of the 73rd Army on the Sancha River. Our defenders from all walks of life immediately put up a strong resistance, and the two sides fought fiercely in Beiwan, Maocao Street, Xujiapu, Tuanshan Temple, Huangtai Mountain and other places. The first round of the Battle of Western Hubei began!

Gao Quan kept an eye on the battle situation at all times in Xiushui, and telegrams were constantly coming and going every day, and a large combat map and a large sand table that occupied half a room were hung in the headquarters, and Gao Quan, Wu Guangxing, Xie Zhongming, and other high-ranking generals of the 500 Army stayed in the headquarters all day long, waiting for the combat orders of the Military Commission.

The 500 Army is subordinate to the Ninth Theater of Operations and is under the command of Chief Xue, but the battle of the devils is aimed at the Sixth Theater. Under the command of Commander Sun, there were five group armies, 14 corps, 41 divisions, and a large number of auxiliary troops, with a total strength of several hundred thousand troops. Among them, there are many famous Chinese generals like Wang Jingjiu and Feng Zhi'an as commanders of the group army, and military commanders like Chi Fengcheng and Huang Weigang who are famous all over the world. Whether Gao Quan and his 500 troops can participate in this huge battle of western Hubei depends entirely on the development of the battle situation and whether the Military Commission can appoint his generals!

From the very beginning, the tide of the battle turned against our side. When the devil came up, he concentrated his heavy forces and used his powerful ground and air firepower to storm our position. However, due to poor communications, coordination among various units lagged behind, and the quality of weaponry, equipment, and personnel was generally weaker than that of the Japanese army. By 9 May, the 73rd Army of our 29th Group Army had basically lost its combat capability and was forced to withdraw to the vicinity of Changde to rest and recuperate, and the Japanese army immediately occupied Anxiang, Nanxian and other places. Although the various units of our army were in a difficult situation, they still put up stubborn resistance and killed a group of Japanese front-line commanders such as the commander of the 90th Infantry Brigade of the 17th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Yoshiharu Mashio, and a number of other Japanese front-line commanders.

On the 12th, the 3rd Division of the Japanese invaders attacked the positions of Baiyangdi and Wangjiazui, the 13th Division forcibly crossed the Yangtze River under the cover of artillery fire and air force, attacked Zhijiang Town and Shipai, and the Yegou detachment captured Yangxi.

Also due to the lack of unity of orders at all levels and poor communication, the armies of the Tenth Army suffered heavy losses from the Japanese army and were forced to retreat to the west of Nuanshui Street and Liujiachang and Chayuan Temple, and the Japanese occupied Songzi on the 17th.

On the night of May 21, the 39th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Yangtze River and attacked northward, the Field Detachment attacked west from Yichang, and the 3rd Division, the 13th Division, and the Yegou Detachment, several Japanese troops launched a third round of attacks on our positions!
