"Why haven't the reinforcements of the 15th Route Army arrived yet, send a telegram to Jiang Wenhao and ask him when he will arrive on the battlefield." Song Xilian, commander of the 88th Brigade of the 261st Division, looked at his pocket watch anxiously. Due to the successful detour of the Japanese army and the foothold in the Maijia house and the cemetery on the south side, the 88th Division threw all the reserves into battle, but failed to repel the Japanese army, and killed the commander of the engineer battalion, and even the commander and deputy brigade commander of the 264th Brigade went to the front line to direct the battle and was wounded and had to withdraw. The fierceness of the battlefield can be seen.

"Report, brigade, Jiang Wenhao called back, in an hour, the troops of the two battalions will arrive at the battlefield first, four hours later, and another regiment, and the rest will all arrive in three days."

"An hour, it's about the same, order all the departments to cross the river immediately, and the battle is still procrastinating, I really don't know how the Fengtian War of Resistance was fought." After giving the order, Song Xilian complained again, which was entirely because of the prejudices formed by different factions. Of course, it is also because the battle situation is tense and the mood is not very happy.

When Song Xilian led his army to cross the river, in order to prevent the Japanese army from discovering in advance, he did not collect boats by the river in advance. Some of the small fishing boats that were secretly collected also had wooden planks and things in wooden barrels tied to them to forcibly cross the river, the disadvantage of this was that it was more troublesome to cross the river, and the advantage was that the Japanese army could not detect Song Xilian's actions in advance, and the number of Japanese troops intercepted by the river was not much.

Da Da Da .......

Japanese machine guns swept along the river, and tongues of fire chose to devour people. One after another, people screamed and fell into the river. The red blood was submerged in the river.

"Hit!" The soldiers who crossed the river were not idle, although it was inconvenient to fight back on the river at this time, but the soldiers also used all the resources they could use to counterattack the Japanese army. A Makqin was erected on the ship. The sharp tongue of fire swept over, and the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side also howled wolf.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a flash of fire rose from the opposite side, followed by several louder explosions.

"What's going on? Why did the artillery open fire? Song Xilian frowned and asked, the artillery of the national army is precious. At this time, in order to ensure the safety of the artillery, Song Xilian gave an order not to fire at this time. AFTER ALL, EVEN THE GERMAN 88TH DIVISION AT THIS TIME HAD ONLY ONE 12-GUN 75MM KRUPP MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY BATTALION. This time, due to the crossing of the river, there were no large boats, and the division headquarters was not assigned to Song Xilian. There are no direct technical arms in the brigade. Even if it was a German armor division at this time, the firepower was far from that of the Japanese army.

Compared with the Beiyang Seven Towns in the Yuan Shikai period, a 54-door division artillery regiment of the Beiyang Division, the firepower can be regarded as a few big steps backwards. The Yuan Shikai period was also the closest the Chinese Army to the Japanese army in modern times. The arsenals in various places were also gradually reorganized, but unfortunately the faint hope of national rejuvenation was interrupted by the subsequent proclamation of Emperor Yuan. Later, with the melee of the warlords of the Republic of China, except for Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal and Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian Arsenal, the military industry in other places was taking a backward path, and Nanjing at this time relied heavily on directly buying weapons and equipment from abroad. The rectification and investment in the arsenal was much worse than in the early years of the Republic of China. And with the Great War of the Central Plains. The Taiyuan Arsenal was greatly affected, and the Mukden Arsenal was relocated inward, when the great powers, especially Japan, greatly increased their military investment. The development of the military industry of the Republic of China has shown a certain regression. This is also the reason why the War of Resistance in history was fought so badly.

"Brigade seat, our artillery did not fire!" Soon the head of Song Xilian's regiment sent someone to report.

"No fire, is there reinforcements on the other side? Order all the troops to speed up the crossing of the river, and the reinforcements on the opposite side may not be able to support it for long. "Just judging by the scale of the engagement. The opposite side used the means of sneak attack, and the number of people was definitely not large. Song Xilian did not hesitate for much, and immediately ordered that once this opportunity was missed, when the Japanese troops on the opposite side came back to strength, I am afraid that the troops crossing the river would suffer greater losses, whether it was for the sake of that heroic squad. Or for the sake of his own subordinates, they must speed up the progress of crossing the river.

Japanese grenades and mortars sparsely fell down into the river, a raft and a boat were sunk, and dozens of soldiers screamed and fell into the icy water. While the troops crossing the river bravely returned fire. The back is also in a cold sweat, and the good impression of the squad that sneaked up on the Japanese army is also a little stronger, if it is not for the other party to desperately knock out a Japanese artillery and contain part of the Japanese army, the troops crossing the river at this time may suffer even more heavy losses.

"The devil's small cannon is coming, big guy, retreat, grass, throw the cannon, it's important to save your life, and you need a fart cannon." Cui Jianwu urged Zhang Chujiu as if he was urging his life. The two of these mortars just now were made up by the two of them.

"What are you afraid of, there are still our people in ambush ahead, waiting to give them a pot to drink, just chase after them, it is more convenient for the large troops on Brigade Commander Song's side to cross the river." Zhang Chujiu grinned, but his subordinates were not slow at all, the fifty or sixty pound small steel cannon was like playing in his hand, and the sack in the other hand of the small steel cannon was a mortar shell, and he retreated back with these things on his back, withdrew more than 100 meters, and went to a bush to rest. Put the cannon back in place. The original place has eaten a few shells, and one of them even fell more than 20 meters away, Cui Jianwu and Zhang Chujiu and others secretly called luck, if this shell is a little more off, I'm afraid the two of them will have to go to see the king of Hades.

"Damn the Shina people, bastards who only sneak attack, don't dare to fight a decisive battle with the soldiers of the Imperial Japan in the way of a samurai. I will cut open your bellies with a bayonet and pluck out your intestines. ”

The squad leader, Saga Nokiyo, picked up a pistol and led his subordinates to grope for the place where the mortar was fired just now in a relatively scattered formation. If it was in normal times, he didn't pay much attention to the team that only knew about the sneak attack, but at this time, it was extremely uncomfortable to come and sneak attack at the same time as the army brigade crossed the river. Annoyed is annoyed, Saga no Kiyoshi is also very careful, the other party can accurately knock out one of their artillery, such an ability is not something that a miscellaneous team can do.

Saga no Kiyoshi had paid enough attention to his opponent, and a team of more than forty Japanese soldiers scattered to search, but the elite level of this team was beyond Saga's expectations.

Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out in the wilderness, and the two Japanese soldiers who were searching in front quickly fell to the ground. As far as the eye can see, there are yellowish weeds everywhere, shrub branches that have just pulled out new shoots. But in this environment, two bullets suddenly flew out.

"There, the people of China must be on that high ground, and that is the best place to shoot." The old devils of the early thirties are indeed not covered, and a considerable part of the Japanese army is also good at shooting, and even the accuracy is not worse than that of ordinary snipers, but the Japanese army does not have a very intuitive understanding of sniping now, except for a very few freaks, no matter how accurate the Japanese army's shooting is, it is impossible to be stronger than a sniper equipped with a scope and has undergone strict training.
