At half past nine o'clock, the sun became hot, and the officers and soldiers of the Jibu battalion gathered together, and they looked at Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo gave a pre-war lecture to the Jibu battalion, and in this regard, Sun Weiguo is very set.

But Sun Weiguo is not a person who speaks empty words, the Jibu Battalion has to carry out the task of ten deaths, Sun Weiguo is the formulator of this task and the supreme commander who issued the order, and he is going to carry out the task together with the Jibu Battalion.

Everyone's life is equal, if it is really calculated, Sun Weiguo is a helpless person, and his death will not affect others.

But most of the officers and soldiers are different, they still have parents, wives and children at home, they still have a lot of things that cannot be separated, their sacrifice will bring unimaginable blows to a family, their lives are worthless on the huge battlefield, but in the eyes of their families, their lives are above all else.

But now, as soldiers who defend the land and protect the people, they must abandon everything, and they must exchange their lives for the survival of the country and the nation, and for the dignity of future generations.

"Our army wants to carry forward, sincerely unite without deception, determined to save the country, fierce men can defend the Quartet, not afraid of knives and guns, vow to surrender the enemy, kiss the death, serve the battlefield, only a good son. The first body should be strong, the muscles and bones are forged like a hundred steel, there is no resentment in the summer rain, the cold winter is not afraid of ice, snow and frost, hard work is the usual, hunger and chaff, what does it matter if you lie on the salary, you can also taste the gall, and learn to practice the king. Morality should be promoted, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are four-dimensional, who pays us, the people anoint the public food, step by step to guard against themselves, arrogance and greed, the example of the chief, discipline and regulations, always do not forget. When he is a big man, he will not let him be a teacher, and he will always keep his vocation in mind, love the country and the country will be strong, love the people and the people, protect the people, and be the pillar of the country, that is, the glory of the army. ”

Loud singing began to sound, this is the military song taught by Sun Weiguo to the soldiers during the training of the new Second Brigade.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jibu battalion began to sing again, and the officers and soldiers squatting on the ground began to check their weapons and ammunition.

The song was loud, as if it could spread all over the sky, and the ghost soldiers in the city could naturally hear it.

The Shao Zuo Captain of the 20th Brigade stood on top of the city wall, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that the troops of the New Second Brigade did not dare to open fire rashly, and he knew that the troops of the Eighth Route Army had a very close relationship with the people, and he thought that he had grasped the weakness of the New Second Brigade.

"Captain, when we attack the troops of the New Second Brigade in the future, we can take advantage of this, the troops of the New Second Brigade are concerned about the common people, this is our best opportunity, as long as these people are here, we will be able to annihilate the troops of the New Second Brigade sooner or later."

A Japanese captain came to the captain and said with a smug face.

"What you said is very reasonable, this is the weakness of the New Second Brigade, as long as we take advantage of it, we will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate the troops of the New Second Brigade." Captain Shao Zuo said with an oath.

"A group of self-defeating Chinese troops, even if you annihilate many imperial troops, we will still annihilate you sooner or later, the imperial army will definitely be able to fully occupy China, and these humble Chinese will become our slaves sooner or later."

The Japanese captain glanced contemptuously at the civilians, and he said in a disdainful tone.

At this time, the twelve Type 94 mountain guns of the 2nd Artillery Battalion began to fire, and one shell after another accurately hit the city gate.

"Boom, boom." The sound of cannonballs exploding continued, and soon a gap appeared in the wooden gates.

The Japanese troops were completely sure that the troops of the New Second Brigade would not dare to attack the county seat, and they did not block the city gate.

The city gate was blown out of the gap, and the devil soldiers on the city wall were a little stunned, and they immediately prepared for battle.

"Damn the Chinese troops, will they ignore the safety of these people?" Captain Shaozo was also a little panicked.

When the people standing on the city wall heard the sound of the cannons, their faces turned pale with fright, and many began to cry.

More than a dozen civilians panicked and tried to flee, but the Japanese bayonets quickly pierced into their bodies.

A small number of ordinary people began to complain about the troops of the New Second Brigade, and these people believed that the New Second Brigade was desperate for their lives to attack the county seat of Xiyang County.

"When you are a big person, you should not let the teacher do it, seven feet He Angang, always keep your vocation in mind, love the country and the country will be strong, love the people and the people, protect the people, and be the pillar of the country, that is, the glory of the army."

THE SONG SOUNDED AGAIN, THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE INFANTRY BATTALION HAD ALREADY BEGUN TO ATTACK, THE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD WITH RIFLES, THREE INFANTRY GUNS, NINE GRENADIERS, AND THREE 60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE SMOKE GRENADES AT THE FRONT TO COVER THE MOVEMENT OF THE FIGHTERS.

At the same time, the armored battalion, cavalry battalion, and cavalry artillery battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment began to transfer, and the regiment commander Yin Jinshan led the main force of the 6th Cavalry Regiment to begin to advance to the area around Lijiazhuang Town.

The main force of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment was evacuated, and only the Jibu Battalion was responsible for the attack in Xiyang County, and Sun Weiguo led the troops to charge, and this time he used the method of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.

The Jibu Battalion is now fighting alone, they will only have a chance to survive if they take Xiyang County, if they can't take Xiyang County, then Sun Weiguo and the Jibu Battalion will all die here.

White smoke began to rise, and the fighters quickly moved forward with their rifles, and without the cover of heavy weapons, there was no way to start shooting, and the fighters could only run.

Sun Weiguo rushed forward with a Type 38 rifle, and Adjutant Hao Jie led the soldiers of the guard squad to follow Sun Weiguo's side.

With Sun Weiguo, the brigade commander, taking the lead in the charge, the morale of the officers and men of the Jibu Battalion was still very high, although they did not receive heavy weapons support.

The offensive began, the distance was narrowed, the singing began to stop, the officers rushed to the front, and the soldiers followed.

This is the rule of the new 2nd Brigade, the officers should be at the front when charging, and the officers should be at the back when retreating.

Being an officer in the New Second Brigade is not an easy job, it is a very dangerous position, and the wounded and casualty rate of the officers of the New Second Brigade is very happy, especially the company platoon commander.

"Crazy, these troops must be crazy, what the hell do they want to do, there is no support with heavy weapons, do they just want to rely on smoke bombs to cover the attack?"

"There are only a few hundred of them, what the hell is the commander of the branch thinking, do they want to come and send them to death?"

"What a group of humble Chinese troops, in the face of war, anyone can be sacrificed, they would choose such a method."

The devil soldiers began to talk one after another, they were shocked, some ridiculed, and some ridiculed, but they had to admit that what the New Second Brigade had done, they could not do.

At 9:40 a.m. on 23 June, several hundred infantry of the Jibu Battalion, led by brigade commander Sun Weiguo, launched an attack on Xiyang County.

This attack was an attack without any heavy weapons cover.
