The logistics supply base was defeated by the New Fourth Army, which made Songdao understand that Liu Tianshu dispatched troops to attack Qinggangpo during the day, although it had the meaning of relieving the siege of Guangde, but more importantly, it was to cover up his idea of sneaking up on the logistics supply base. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that he doesn't know how the New Fourth Army knows that he has set up a logistics supply base in Qinglongguan?

With a gloomy face, Matsushima walked back and forth countless times in the command post outside Guangde City, and had to report the attack on the supply base to the division commander.

Liu Tianshu stood at the entrance of the village, welcoming the second and third battalions that attacked the Japanese army's logistics supply base back.

In particular, a batch of medical equipment was found in the materials, which made him even more indescribably happy.

After he left some of these medicines and equipment, he immediately sent the rest to the field hospital in Si'an and handed them over to Song Yujie.

Although the first regiment did not destroy many enemies in this sneak attack, it captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the officers and men of the whole regiment were full of spirit.

The next morning, except for the 1st Battalion, which continued to steadily launch an attack on Qinggangling, the 2nd Battalion went around to the left side of Qinggangling and rapidly advanced.

Matsushima was taken aback when he learned that the New Fourth Army had appeared on the left side of the Qinggangling defenders, and hurriedly drew two squadrons from the besieging troops to intercept the attack.

Li Guangyuan had already received a telegram from the staff officer who had remained in the Seventh Detachment, and knew that the New Fourth Army was about to launch an attack from the left side of Qinggangling.

The artillery fire of the new 58th Division suddenly opened fire on the Japanese troops outside the east gate, and countless shells hit the Japanese positions, raising clouds of gunsmoke.

Before the smoke cleared, countless Chinese soldiers rushed out of the city shouting, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed to the Japanese position outside the east gate.

The Japanese troops besieging the east gate were outnumbered, and when they saw the Chinese soldiers rushing closer, they had to rush out of the position with a loud shout, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides collided together, countless bayonets flashed in the sun, and the position resounded with the sound of impact, gasps, screams of death and the sound of bayonets stabbing into the flesh.

Occasionally, a soldier who was unfortunate enough to fall to the ground pulled a grenade on his waist and desperately hugged his opponent and died.

Matsushima couldn't help but be surprised when he learned that the defenders in the city suddenly rushed out of the east gate and that the Japanese squadron he was guarding outside the east gate had been defeated.

In the end, he had no choice but to use the artillery fire of the wing to carry out a covered artillery bombardment of the sortie position that had just been lost.

Pang Guoxian, the commander of the second regiment of the new 58th Division, who had eliminated the enemy, saw in the telescope that the position had been recaptured, and immediately left a battalion to defend, and the rest of the troops quickly withdrew into the city.

As soon as the main force of the regiment withdrew into the city gate, the shells of the devils came over, but fortunately, the battalion guarding the position, after occupying the position, immediately rushed to repair the fortifications, prepared for the anti-artillery, heard the sound of shells in the sky, and immediately hid in the trenches.

Rao is like this, and more than 80 brothers in the first battalion were killed in this round of artillery shelling by the devils.

Fortunately, because the logistics supply base was wiped out, the artillery shells in their hands were insufficient, and they did not dare to open fire as much as they wanted, otherwise, the losses of the first battalion would be even greater.

However, the New 58th Division recaptured a position outside the East Gate, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders, and these defenders heard that the New Fourth Army had come to reinforce and was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army at Qinggangpo, so they were naturally full of confidence in holding Guangde.

The second battalion, which detoured to the left side of Qinggangpo, under the command of Gui Xuebing, the commander of the second battalion, advanced rapidly, and before the devil could react, it occupied a hill on the left side of Qinggangpo and controlled a road that bypassed Qinggangpo to Guangde City.

Just when the main force of the second battalion arrived, the two squadrons drawn by Matsushima finally arrived, and when they saw that the New Fourth Army occupied the hill in front, the captain of the Itagaki brigade, who was in charge of commanding the two squadrons, was anxious and ordered the artillery to quickly set up infantry guns and fire fiercely at the hill occupied by the New Fourth Army, and at the same time ordered the infantry of one squadron to prepare for the attack.

Matsushima, the captain of the Itagaki Brigade, was the captain of the Tengye Brigade who was quickly transferred from behind to enrich the Matsushima Wing after the Tengye Brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the New Fourth Army, and he did not fight with the New Fourth Army, and found the New Fourth Army on the hill in front of him, his idea was to concentrate artillery fire to bombard it first, and then let an infantry squadron launch a fierce attack to recapture the hill in front.

As long as the hill in front is occupied, it can support each other with the defenders of Qinggangpo, and it is very promising to block the New Fourth Army.

Gui Xuebing was rushing forward with the main force of the second battalion, and suddenly saw countless shells falling on the hill in front of him, and the rising gunpowder smoke covered the sky in a blink of an eye, and he immediately knew that the devil's reinforcements had arrived.

However, when I saw the smoke from the explosion on the hill, it was obviously caused by the explosion of artillery shells fired by infantry artillery, and my heart couldn't help but tense.

I don't know if the company can hold the hill and block this round of enemy attacks.

The second company of the second battalion followed Gui Xuebing's order to prepare for the east side of the mountain, but its third company quietly went around to the south.

As for the machine gun company in the battalion, it followed the second company.

Itagaki fired shells also did not last long, because the Matsushima Wing had not many shells in their hands.

Seeing that there was no longer an explosion on the mountain, Gui Xuebing urgently ordered the second company and the machine gun company to quickly rush up the hill to reinforce the first company.

As soon as the second company ran to the top of the hill, he heard the fierce gunfire in front of him, and at the same time there was the explosion of shells from the grenadiers.

"Comrades, quick, call me." The commander of the second company jumped into the trench in front of him, raised his pistol and fired directly at a devil with a plaster flag on the tip of the gun, and the bullet hit the devil's chest, and the devil was stunned, and then fell to the ground.

Then the machine gun company that followed up quickly mounted the heavy machine gun on the position, and then in a dull sound, the bullets cut at the devil like a sickle.

A squadron sent by Itagaki took advantage of the cover of gunpowder smoke to rush forward while firing, and it was about to rush to the position of the New Fourth Army and start a white-knuckle battle with the remaining New Fourth Army.

Seeing that the more than 50 Japanese soldiers everywhere were invincible, they turned around and prepared to retreat, when a company commander waved a shell gun, shouted with grief and indignation, and jumped out of the trench and chased after the devil with a company.

The commander of the second company saw that the first company launched a counter-charge, and also jumped out of the trench with the second company and chased down.

The remaining devils were defeated and retreated, and many devils were knocked over in front of the position.

Itagaki didn't expect that the heroic Imperial Army would be beaten back by the New Fourth Army, and his face turned pale, but at this time, its first squadron had been directly disabled, and he didn't dare to fight at all.

Itagaki gritted his teeth, and had to order the second squadron to go forward to respond, which stabilized his position slightly.

At this moment, Gui Xuebing's three companies from the south had arrived on the side of the devil, and when they saw that the two infantry guns of the devil were on a flat ground in front, the devil artillery was preparing for launch, and the third company commander immediately called the three platoon commanders and quickly made arrangements, and with the action of the third company commander, a platoon went straight to the devil's artillery position, the second row was inserted into the connection between the devil's artillery position and its infantry, and the third platoon pounced from the other side.

As soon as the devil's infantry artillery fired a few shells, he saw countless New Fourth Army quietly rushing towards him. It turned out that the sound of shells muffled the sound of a row approaching, and by the time the devils found out, a platoon rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the artillery position.

Seeing this, more than 20 devils who were in charge of guarding the artillery position raised their guns while screaming, but unfortunately at this time, the two light machine gunners who were running in front of a platoon had already fallen down on the spot, and the two crooked handles kept firing at the devils, and the bullets swept over, knocking the four devils directly away, and the rest of the devils were beaten so that they had to lower their heads.

At a distance of 100 meters, it took more than ten seconds for the rest of the soldiers in the platoon to shoot while rushing, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed up and started a fierce battle with the intercepted devils.

The devils guarding the artillery position were pinned down by a platoon, and the third platoon took advantage of the situation to kill, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the artillery position, and the bullets fired at the devil artillery without a fatality, knocking over the artillery who were about to get their guns directly.

As a technical branch of the artillery force, the combat ability of the devil artillery is naturally much worse than that of the infantry, and many soldiers have not yet picked up their weapons, and they are rushed to the nearest place by the third platoon and sent back to their hometowns with a rain of bullets.

The artillery captain saw that his men kept falling, so he remembered to destroy the artillery, but unfortunately it was too late, the soldiers of the third platoon had rushed closer, and the Japanese soldiers guarding in front of the infantry guns were killed one after another, and even the devils at the ammunition box were killed first.

By the time the first platoon had eliminated the Japanese troops who had blocked the attack, and the third platoon had eliminated the devil artillery, a few soldiers who could operate the infantry guns quickly turned the muzzles and began to bombard the Japanese troops on the north side.

Itagaki heard the sound of gunfire at the artillery position, and when he looked back in shock, he saw that countless New Fourth Army troops were besieging his artillery position, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Just as he was hesitating whether to retreat or recapture the artillery position, the New Fourth Army in front heard the gunfire from the devil's artillery position, but it sped up to chase after him. (To be continued.) )
