"Commander, the Japanese are starting to retreat, they want to run ......," Zhou Qiangsheng, the commander of the Second Division, subconsciously reminded Yang Xingguo beside him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I see it...... However, now that I know that I am fleeing for my life, and there are only about 10,000 people left, is it a little too late......" Yang Xingguo, who was very satisfied with the battle just now, replied with an arrogant expression.

Then, he immediately asked Zhou Qiangsheng: "Commander Zhou, how many people are still in your second division, and can you continue to fight......

"The four regiments suffered the most losses...... There were more than 2,000 people before the war, and now there are more than 1,000 people who can continue to fight......"

"There are still 1,500 men in both regiments of five or six...... In addition, we are playing defensively, and the brothers do not have much physical exertion, so they can continue to fight at any time......"

"That's good......" The confident smile on Yang Xingguo's face became even stronger.

Facing Zhou Qiangsheng, he ordered with a satisfied face: "The fourth regiment stayed in Fengcheng, cleaned up the battlefield, and treated the wounded. ”

Let's take five or six regiments together, one battalion of the guard regiment, your field artillery battalion, and three mountain artillery batteries, and immediately go out of the city and follow behind the Japanese in pursuit! “

"Judging from the direction of the Japanese breakthrough, they went to the side of the third division...... Immediately contact the 1st Division, take the troops to move closer to the 3rd Division, and be ready to participate in the battle at any time. ”

"In addition, inform Zhong Hu, the commander of the heavy artillery division, and let the chief of staff, Zhang Shaozeng, take two field artillery regiments and quickly move closer to the third division......"

"There are still more than 10,000 Japanese troops, although it is not a problem to eliminate them. But if artillery is used, the losses of troops will be much smaller. ”

As soon as the two regiments of more than 3,000 Liaodong troops left the city, Lieutenant General Matsumoto got the news from the mouth of the troops behind the palace.

Lieutenant General Sakata's face changed drastically, and he immediately asked Matsumoto......

"What should we do next, should we leave a force behind the palace to block the ......?"

"No need to ......," Matsumoto replied without thinking.

"The Liaodong Army that went out of the city was equipped with artillery, and leaving a force to block them not only did not play any role, but also gave the Liaodong Army a chance to break us all......"

"Now all we need to do is seize the time to break through...... Catch up with us between the Liaodong Army and highlight the encirclement that the Liaodong Army may form around us. As long as we stand out, the Liaodong Army, which is equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, will not be able to catch up with us......"

Immediately, the Japanese, armed only with heavy machine guns, began to run.

Hurry as fast as you can.

Two hours later. The Japanese, who had marched rapidly, were also becoming more and more tired.

At this time, the last thing that Lieutenant General Matsumoto wanted to see appeared.

In front of me, I don't know when there will be an extra trench in the mountain pass that I must pass through.

Lieutenant General Matsumoto was still two or three miles from the trenches, but with the help of telescopes. He still clearly saw the activities of the Liaodong Army in the trenches. There is no doubt that the only way for him to leave here was blocked by the Liaodong Army.

"Baga, how fast is the speed of the Liaodong Army, it has only been a few hours to build a blocking position here......" Matsumoto, who had a solemn face, didn't have time to speak, and Sakata, who was also aware of the danger, took the lead and scolded.

After it's over. Asked Matsumoto-kun directly, "Matsumoto-kun, what should we do next?" ”

"Fighting, I can only find a way to rush through. Otherwise, we will all die here......" Lieutenant General Matsumoto, with a gloomy face, replied in as heavy a tone as he could.

Then, he asked a big Zuo beside him: "How far are we from the Liaodong Army that is chasing us behind us?" ”

"Seven miles and half an hour away......" Dazuo quickly replied.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road......" Matsumoto subconsciously scolded: "It's so tight, it doesn't give us any time to breathe." It seems that the Liaodong Army wants to annihilate us all here......"

After saying that, Matsumoto ordered: "We must break through the Liaodong Army to intercept ...... within half an hour"

"Order the forward troops, concentrate all the heavy machine guns of the division. Launched a surprise attack on the positions of the Liaodong Army. Within half an hour, break through the line of defense. Otherwise, the forward troops will all cut themselves......"

Seeing that the pine itself also exuded a thick murderous aura, his subordinates did not dare to slack off, and hurried to pass on the order.

Soon, all the remaining 100 heavy machine guns of the two divisions were sent to the forward troops.

Because of the limited terrain, the Japanese could only send a maximum of two squadrons to attack at one time.

A large battalion of forward troops, immediately divided in two, fifty meters apart from each other. Under the cover of the frantic fire of a hundred heavy machine guns behind him, he rushed towards the position of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division.

At this moment. The Liaodong Army, which defended the position, had only one battalion.

However, from the moment they saw the Liaodong Army, the battalion sent the news to the regimental and division headquarters.

As long as there are no surprises, a maximum of ten minutes. Reinforcements from the regimental headquarters will be able to arrive.

As for the reinforcements at the division headquarters, although they will be a little later, they will arrive in half an hour at most.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of the Japanese army on the scale of the brigade as soon as it came up, the commander of the first battalion of the seventh regiment was not worried at all.

However, the covering fire of almost a hundred heavy machine guns of the Japanese army. It still made the battalion commander very frightened.

"****, are the Japanese crazy, they have so many heavy machine guns as soon as they come up, and they don't let us fight back......" After all, the battalion instructor has not experienced so many battles, and he has never seen such a big battle, and the Japanese heavy machine gun subconsciously asked the battalion commander as soon as he opened fire......

The battalion commander replied with a nonchalant face: "They can be arrogant at this time......"

"Our blocking positions were not built on high ground, and now they can still shoot at us. As soon as their attacking troops rush in front of us, the heavy machine guns will stop firing because their attacking troops are blocking their firing range......"

"Instructor, don't worry about the war!"

"However, you must control the morale of your brothers, the Japanese have too many heavy machine guns, and we can only fight close combat with the Japanese until reinforcements arrive. And close combat is the most test of the morale and morale of the troops, and after worrying that the Japanese will approach us, the brothers will not be able to bear the pressure brought to us by the Japanese. ”

Soon, the Japanese rushed a hundred meters in front of the formation.

Under the suppression of the Japanese heavy machine guns, more than 500 people in the first battalion all squatted in the attrition, clutched their weapons, and quietly waited for the battalion commander's order.

Fifty meters, the Japanese heavy machine guns still did not stop.

But the Japanese, who had been bending forward to attack, seemed to be preparing to launch a final attack,

They all stood up straight, rifles in hand, and shouted the familiar slogans of the first battalion, while rushing towards the battalion like crazy.

Knowing that at this time, in order to avoid accidental injury, nearly 100 heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Japanese army ceased fire.

The battalion commander raised his eyebrows, stood up from the trench sharply, raised his pistol and pulled the trigger against the former Japanese.

The gunshots rang out, and the three Japanese directly opposite the battalion commander had already rushed to the position thirty meters in front of the formation, perhaps thinking that victory was in sight, and the three Japanese had fanatical expressions on their faces.

Because the counterattack came so suddenly, the fanatical expressions on the faces of the three Japanese remained unchanged until they were beaten into a hornet's nest.

The commander of the first battalion was not in the mood to pay attention to the three Japanese.

As soon as the shuttle bullet is fired, the pistol is replaced with a new magazine and continues to shoot.

For the rest of the battalion, the battalion commander's gunfire was an order.

It had just been a quiet trench, and a dense string of human heads immediately appeared.

Of course, a dense barrel also came out of the trench.

Before the Japanese could react from their shock, the barrels of these guns fired lethal bullets one after another.

In particular, a dozen light and heavy machine guns in the middle fired a dozen thick and scorching tongues of fire directly at them. (To be continued.) )
