[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 386: Trapped in the Lonely City (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Houhe. Underground bomb shelters.

This is a large-scale fortification built by the Eighth Route Army after the reconquest and reconstruction, the main purpose is to prevent the bombing of Japanese aircraft, after all, this is the Suicha Military Region bordering the Japanese defense area, and the Japanese aviation only one foot of the accelerator arrived, so it had to be defended.

At this time, this became the temporary station of the second battalion of the second regiment, and after receiving the order from the regimental headquarters, the commander of the second battalion, Huang Yuhu, immediately got up and said: "Everyone, assemble!" ”

With Huang Yuhu's order, more than 550 people from the second battalion quickly gathered and filled the air-raid shelter to the brim.

Then Huang Yuhu said loudly: "I just received an order from the regiment headquarters to take over the position of the first battalion and replace the disabled battalion. I have something to say to you before I act, this may be the last time Lao Tzu will talk to you. The third battalion commander died in battle, the first battalion commander had a crippled leg, and the next one may be Lao Tzu's turn, so Lao Tzu will talk to you about his heart. ”

"People say that I, Huang Erhu, am a madman, I don't want to die in a war, and I have convulsions when I see a little devil. That's right, I, Huang Erhu, just hate the Japanese, that is, I want to eat their flesh and drink their blood. I think I, Huang Erhu, am also a famous teacher, and graduated from Zhang Dashuai's Northeast Lecture Hall. After graduation, he also served as the regimental deputy of the Fengtian Garrison Brigade of the Northeast Army, but in the end, he ran to the Guannai with the group of deflated calves, and surrendered the 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains outside the Guanxi to the Japanese, leaving 30 million compatriots in dire straits, including my own father and mother. As a soldier who is supposed to protect his family and defend the country, I, Huang Erhu, am deeply ashamed of the inaction of myself and the Northeast Army where I belong, so Lao Tzu left the Northeast Army with more than a dozen brothers and left the group of deflated calves. ”

After leaving the group of deflated calves, Lao Tzu came to Chahar with a dozen brothers, and erected a pole on Phoenix Mountain, became a bandit, and planned to accumulate strength to return to the northeast. It's not boasting, Lao Tzu may not be able to do anything else, but this march and battle is not inferior to his famous general, of course, except for our commander. From 32 years ago, Lao Tzu's bandit army grew from a dozen people under the nose of the little devil, and there were already 1,500 people under Lao Tzu's command before defecting to the Eighth Route Army. ”

"If you want to say that Lao Tzu is really a bandit beard, these 1,500 people are enough for Lao Tzu to eat and drink spicy food in Phoenix Mountain. But Lao Tzu is not a bandit, Lao Tzu is not for himself, Lao Tzu wants to fight back to the Northeast, Lao Tzu must be worthy of the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in the Northeast and 30 million compatriots. So Lao Tzu heard that Commander Ma led people to beat Sakai Ho times, killed Liannuma Pan, and robbed Zhangjiakou, and then Lao Tzu took his brothers to defect to the Eighth Route Army. Lao Tzu is telling you this, just to tell you that this life is actually very short, don't care about those small things, think more about the big place, think more about the people behind you, then one day we will all die in battle, and someone will remember us. ”

"The regiment commander has just spoken, and it is not allowed to take a step back, and the whole battalion must hold on for 24 hours even if it is the last man. In addition, the regiment commander, political commissar, and chief of staff are all ready for battle, and as long as we can't resist it, they will take guns and lead the newspaper operators, cooks, and horsemen of the regiment headquarters to come up. Brethren, do we need them to come up? ”

"No, you don't! No! No! ”

"It's okay if you don't need it, sort out the ammunition and enter the position with Lao Tzu!" Huang Yuhu roared loudly.

"Yes!"

The 2nd Battalion had just entered the front-line position, and before it had time to rest and recuperate the broken position, it saw the Japanese army gathering not far away. Huang Yuhu immediately ordered the troops to immediately prepare for battle and be ready to meet the Japanese attack at any time.

After completing the assembly, I saw from the telescope that the strength of the little devil was a full infantry squadron, and there were also a small number of puppet troops, and the total number was probably no less than five hundred. After completing the assembly, these Japanese puppet troops marched towards the position of the second battalion, and the battle finally began.

Huang Yuhu immediately ordered: "All of them, order the forward positions to be strictly protected from Japanese shelling, and immediately distribute gas masks to everyone." ”

When he was in the Northeast, Huang Yuhu had seen the power of the Japanese army's poison gas bombs, so he deliberately asked for all the gas masks of the regiment headquarters before going to the battlefield.

The forward commander of the Japanese army is called Hyotaro Fukumoto, with the rank of Osa, and is currently the acting wing commander of the 19th Wing of the 20th Brigade Regiment. To tell the truth, Fukugen Hyotaro is still very grateful to the army on the other side, because it is precisely because of their heroic resistance that he, who has just been promoted, was promoted to the army commander, and he also replaced the seriously injured Nobuaki Ohno and became the acting wing captain of the 20th wing.

As for whether he can fight this battle well, Fukugen Hyotaro is not worried at all, he has been observing the opposite Shina army from the beginning of the war, judging from the number of the other party and the density of firepower, the Shina army in this town should only have one infantry regiment. The total number of troops is only about 2,000 when it is fully fought, and it is impossible to exceed 3,000.

More importantly, after a few days of hard fighting, the imperial army has suffered heavy casualties, but the most defensive side of the Chinese army also suffered a lot of casualties, judging from the rotation of the opposite formation, they have replaced three considerable defensive forces, which shows that this regiment has withdrawn two battalions, and now it may be the last battalion, so that as long as this battalion is defeated, the opposite side of the Chinese army will collapse on the whole line.

On the other hand, the 20th Wing under his command, although the casualties were also not small, still had more than 2,000 soldiers to fight. The most important thing is that his troops can take turns resting during the previous days of fighting, so they are by no means different from the tired soldiers on the opposite side. In addition, they still have a large number of reinforcements behind them, so he has absolute confidence in this battle.

"Report to the Wing Commander, the Fifth Squadron is ready for battle and is waiting for your orders at any time!"

"Yo Xi, order Captain Toyoda to attack immediately, and at the same time order the 5th Artillery Squadron to give artillery support!" Hyotaro Fukugen gave the order to attack.

The Japanese army carried out artillery bombardment as usual, and more than a dozen mountain guns and dozens of mortars began to launch artillery shelling on the positions of the defenders of Xinpingbao, and suddenly the positions of the Chinese defenders turned into a sea of fire.

Due to the continuous days of fighting, most of the anti-artillery holes prepared in advance have collapsed, and only a few anti-artillery holes can be used, so many soldiers can only crawl in the trenches, endure the shelling of the Japanese army, and resist the Japanese artillery fire with flesh and blood and iron will.

The shelling lasted about five minutes before stopping, and the first round of shelling caused considerable losses to the 2nd Battalion, and even a company commander was seriously wounded.

While the artillery was shelling, the Japanese infantry began to charge, and by the time the shelling stopped, they had already rushed within 200 meters of the defenders' positions.

Infantry charging after shelling was the most common tactic of the Japanese army, and it was also a classic tactic in the Japanese infantry drills, so every Japanese officer would use this tactic to launch an attack in battle. However, due to the urgency of the military situation, Fukugen Hyotaro did not let the puppet army test the firepower of the Chinese defenders as before, but attacked the elite as soon as he came up.

A sharp whistle sounded on the position of the 1st battalion of the "Hurricane Hurricane ......", which was the siren of the enemy attack, and when they heard the whistle, even if it was a knife in the sky, they had to return to their combat posts as soon as possible.

Hearing the whistle, the warriors knew that the infantry of the little devils had come up and hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for battle, and all this happened in just a few minutes.

The first to fire was not a rifle, but a machine gun that had been prepared for a long time, because the Japanese infantry had already entered within 200 meters, so it was time for a machine gun show, so more than 20 light and heavy machine guns arranged in the front line opened fire at the same time, and the dense bullets were fired at the charging Japanese puppet army, forming a death blockade in front of the Japanese puppet army.
