Seeing dozens of little devils pouring into the front yard of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Chen Huaifu, who was hidden in front of the window on the first floor of the small building, grinned, and a trace of the honest smile unique to Shaanxi people appeared on his face, and the shell gun in his hand fired a point shot.

As soon as Chen Huaifu opened fire, bullets were fired on the roof, on the windows on the first and second floors, and on the windows of the wings on both sides. However, whether it is a machine gun, a submachine gun, or an automatic rifle, all of them are shot in bursts, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the rifleman's 38 big cover. This is the demeanor of the main force, calm, calm, and deadly.

These little devils are estimated to have done too many evils, and they have no time to shoot and drop bombs when they enter the yard, except for those who serve as guards and fire cover at the gate of the yard and choose a life, more than 20 little devils have gone back to the East to see their grandmother.

Chen Huaifu ordered the firepower squad to block the gate, and let the three infantry squads quickly collect the devil's weapons and ammunition, especially the devil's small melon grenade, which is lethal and cannot be pulled down.

The soldiers quickly rushed out to clean up the battlefield, and at this time, except for guns, bullets and grenades, the soldiers didn't want anything else, it was all a burden, affecting mobility.

A platoon of soldiers had just finished cleaning the battlefield and ran back to the house, when there was a bang, and a big hole was blown into the courtyard wall. Chen Huaifu looked at it, obediently, a tank of the little devil came over, and the tank gun blew a big hole in the courtyard wall with one shot.

The best melee way to encounter a Devil Tank is to take it out with a bazooka. In addition, it can also be used against the anti-aircraft gun or the 92 infantry gun, and if it is a light tank, the 92 infantry gun can take it out. However, instead of teaching the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades, there were relatively few bazookas, only one per company, and they were equipped in the company's fire support platoon. The battle defense artillery was controlled and used by the brigade headquarters, and the 92nd infantry artillery was also in the company fire support platoon.

Chen Huaifu hurriedly took out a few empty glass bottles, took out a piece of soap, scraped off the soap foam, put several glass bottles, poured half of the gasoline into the bottle from a small iron kettle carried by the correspondent, stirred it with a small iron wire, pressed it into a strip of cloth, plugged the mouth of the bottle with a cloth, and made a few simple Molotov cocktails, handed them to the soldiers, and prepared to burn them when the little devil tank came in. As for the explosive bag and cluster grenades, Chen Huaifu didn't plan to use them, because the fighters who blew up the tank had too little chance of survival, and he had already sacrificed a lot of soldiers, and he was absolutely unwilling to exchange the lives of the soldiers for the iron bumps of the little devils.

Just when Chen Huaifu arranged for the soldiers to prepare to burn the devil's tank, the little devil's tank tom

As the tanks poured into the yard, the little devils were busy setting up machine guns and grenadiers. The strange thing is that the Eighth Route Army did not shoot, except for the sound of tank engines and the guns of the little devils in the courtyard, it was quiet, which made people feel that the Eighth Route Army had slipped away again.

Without the opponent's devil tank, there is no need to fire, roaring forward, looking at the posture is to bypass the small building and rush to the backyard. The devil infantry pounced on the wings on both sides and the small building in front, preparing to enter the house to search.

It was at this time that the Eighth Route Army moved. A few fighters straightened up from under the windowsill and threw the lit Molotov cocktails at the imp's tank. The Molotov cocktail exploded as soon as it hit the tank, causing the fuel tank in the rear of the tank to catch fire and explode, frightening the machine gunner on the devil tank to scream, but his screams were faint and inaudible in the sound of the tank tank exploding.

Having packed up the devil tanks, all kinds of weapons of the Eighth Route Army opened fire. This time, the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army stopped firing, and rows of bullets were fired out, not to mention the little devils in the middle of the courtyard, and the little devils near the gate and the collapsed wall hurriedly retreated, for fear that if the retreat was slow, the bullets would catch up with them.

Seeing that the little devil was beaten back, and there were more than thirty more corpses in the courtyard, Chen Huaifu immediately ordered the whole platoon to retreat, he knew that the devil's next attack would not be the size of a squad, it was likely to be an attack of a squadron or above, and might even use artillery. If you fight here again, this small building may be destroyed.

Chen Huaifu was right, the devils did come up. However, this time, the little devil's heavy machine guns went up to the roofs of the surrounding houses, and several heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, forming a crossfire, covering the roof of the Zhuangyuan's Mansion under the machine gun fire. That's not all, the little devil dragged an infantry cannon, and with just one shot, he blew up a big hole in the roof of the small two-story building. The devils who poured into the yard also changed their tactics, no longer stupidly entering the house to search, and directly used machine guns to cover the infantry and threw grenades into the house.

At this time, a platoon of fire support squads had already removed from the roof, and the fighters in the wing room had also withdrawn, but the fighters hidden in the small building could not come out. Because the devils fired several more guns one after another, they blew up the walls in front of the small building into holes, and the devils' machine guns kept strafing, and the soldiers couldn't show their heads at all. There are so many little devils, and after a little time, it will completely surround Xiaolou and completely cut off the retreat of the soldiers, which will be dangerous.

Chen Huaifu, a cold baby in Shaanxi, saw this situation and knew that he had to suppress the devils with firepower and cover the retreat of the soldiers. He immediately ordered the soldiers in the building to retreat through the hole in the wall that had already been dug up, and he took a machine gun himself, set it up on the windowsill and opened it.

With his fight, the devil can be regarded as having found the target, and all the light and heavy machine guns and rifles were hailed, and Chen Huaifu died on the windowsill with a crooked head after he finished fighting.

Chen Huaifu sacrificed, but the soldiers of a squad in the small building did not withdraw, there were too many devils, and the firepower was too strong, so it was impossible to withdraw. Since you can't get out, you can only fight with the little devils. The squad leader immediately ordered the soldiers to return to their combat positions, ordered all the grenades to be thrown, and used the smoke caused by the grenade explosion to cover the machine guns, submachine guns, and Bayi automatic rifle fire, hoping to contain the devil's offensive, and then retreat with the body of the platoon commander on his back.

This wish can no longer be realized, the little devil's heavy machine gun is far away, and it is erected on the surrounding roof, which is not affected by grenade explosions and light machine guns, submachine guns, and Bayi automatic rifles. In the end, the little devil still poured into the small building, and watched as the last soldier of the Eighth Route Army detonated the explosives, turning himself, the small building, and the devil into ashes.

The devils who attacked the north gate in a roundabout way used the firepower of the field artillery wing to blow up the north gate quickly, and the devil infantry also immediately attacked the north gate, but they were desperately resisted by the Eighth Route Army, and after the little devils attacked the north gate, they could not take a step forward.

By this time, the 21st Regiment had fallen into the encirclement of the devils.

Originally, if Ando Toshikichi was willing to sacrifice his blood at this time, he ordered the baggage wing and the field artillery wing to all pick up their rifles and go into battle, and it was likely that the 21st Regiment would all be sacrificed in the ancient town of Zhoucun. But Ando Toshikichi did not do this, firstly, because it was already dark, and from noon to night, Ando Toshikichi was unwilling to fight with the Eighth Route Army at night. Second, because the battle was fought at this time, the Eighth Route Army was of course suffering heavy casualties, and the casualties of the Fifth Division were even heavier, and it was indeed impossible to attack, and the four infantry wing commanders all asked for additional soldiers, but Ando Toshikichi did not have supplementary troops, and if he replenished it, he had to make up for the baggage wing, but Ando Toshiyoshi did not dare to take the risk, he was afraid that after the baggage wing was put into battle, the baggage of the whole division would be attacked by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, Okamura Ninji had already called and told him that General Terauchi Shouichi had ordered the adjustment of the battle plan, and that Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe and Lieutenant General Tada Jun had commanded the Central Line Group and the Southern Line Group to join forces to go north and completely annihilate Liu Yiming's cooking force in Luzhong. At the same time, he told him that he had ordered the 7th Brigade to reinforce Zhoucun and take over the 9th Brigade, which had the heaviest casualties in the 5th Division. In this way, Ando Toshikichi had the idea that he didn't want the Fifth Division to fight to the death anymore, and wanted to surround the Eighth Route Army first, and let them serve as the main attack force after the Seventh Brigade arrived.

Finally, looking forward to the darkness, Cao Jin and Wu Jiasheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered each regiment to gather troops, consolidate positions, clean up the bodies of martyrs, place the wounded, and prepare to break through.

Finally, at 12 o'clock in the night, Zeng Zhongsheng sent a telegram ordering the 21st Regiment to break through with all its might, and Cao Jin ordered the troops to bring the remains of the martyrs and the wounded and began to break through.

However, when the 21st Regiment broke through, he gave another big gift to the devil and fired all the stored gas bombs.

In fact, Cao Jin had long wanted to retaliate by firing poison gas bombs. Unfortunately, the wind on this day was not right, it was always a northerly wind, and the devils attacked from the south to the north, so they could naturally launch poison gas bombs, but the Eighth Route Army could not launch them. Now it's okay, just fire directly at the North Gate and the devil's position outside the North Gate.

Ando Toshiyoshi never dreamed that the Eighth Route Army would give him this hand, if he had known that this was the case, he would not have put the guards into a brigade of infantry and field artillery in the north gate, the result can be imagined. The 21st Regiment not only successfully broke through the encirclement, but also took away the artillery of the field artillery wing of the 5th Division, and carried the bayonets for the little devils who were struggling in pain.

By the time Ando Toshiyoshi received the report and rushed to the north gate, the Eighth Route Army had already disappeared into the night, and the tragic situation in front of him made him vomit. After vomiting, Ando Toshikichi was in a state of confusion, knowing that the losses in this battle were too great, and the big ones were too big for the whole people to accept, and the Fifth Division of the Flower of the Imperial Army had to go back to the mainland to rest and replenish this time.

After learning from the pain, Ando Toshiyoshi decided to take the first action, directly called the reporters accompanying the army, took many photos of the poisoning of the soldiers, and then published a statement, revealing that Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army, had exterminated people's surnames and violated international conventions by using poison gas bombs on the Imperial Army, causing a large number of soldiers to be poisoned and died. Liu Yimin is not only an out-and-out scoundrel, bandit, coward, robber, and financial order breaker, but also a public enemy of the world who uses prohibited weapons. The Fifth Division of the Flower of the Army and the Imperial Army will never let him go!

After scolding, Ando Toshiyoshi felt that he couldn't pay the emperor just for scolding, the Guards Reading Force Mixed Brigade was the troops of the Guards Division, that was the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, and many middle and lower-level officers were all sons of people with heads and faces, and this time the loss was so big, and they were in big trouble! In desperation, Ando Toshikichi offered a reward again, saying that he was willing to take out all the family's land, real estate, and savings, and offered a reward of 1 million yuan for Liu Yimin's head. No matter who you are, as long as you can kill Liu Yimin, you can get this bounty. Of course, if anyone can capture Liu Yimin alive, the reward can be even higher. He has two daughters, beautiful and beautiful, and the country is fragrant, not yet married, waiting to tie the knot with the hero who captured Liu Yimin alive.

The reporters accompanying the army were very neat in their work, and they quickly completed the telegram and sent it out.

As soon as dawn the next day, Chinese and foreign reporters from Wuhan flocked to the Wuhan camp and demanded to meet Chairman Chiang, the Minister of Military Command, and the Chief of the General Staff.

The reporters were not disappointed, and Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng met with them.

The reporter's question is actually one, that is, did the instructor of the Eighth Route Army use poison gas?

Bai Chongxi had a kind attitude, took off his military hat, scratched his bald head with his hand, and replied with a smile: "China does not have the ability to produce and manufacture poison gas bombs, and the whole world knows this. I don't know if General Liu Yimin used poison gas bombs or not, but I do know that I use poison gas bombs every time I fight. This Fifth Division was a veteran of the use of poison gas bombs, which they used during the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Xuzhou. In my personal judgment, it may be that the Fifth Division repeated its old tricks and used poison gas again. It's a pity that the heavens are beautiful, and the poisonous gas of the little devils floated to their own positions, allowing this group of invaders to suffer the consequences. ”

Chen Cheng said even more cutely, this thin general shook his head in a thick Zhejiang accent and learned Chiang Kai-shek's tone: "Xiao said that this is a planting, a standard planting." If China has the ability to produce poison gas bombs, will Xiao Yueben dare to invade us? I think this Ando Rikichi was crazy because he wanted to find a partner for his daughter, and he actually found General Liu Yimin's head. This matter is definitely a farce, and it is Ando Toshikichi who uses the name of General Liu Yimin to raise his daughter's value. Niang Xipi, how can you be so despicable? When did the army change to a wreck like Toshiyoshi Ando to be the commander of the division? I see, Xiao Yueben is dying. ”

Contrary to Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng's statements, General Zuo Quan, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, made a statement at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, pointing out that from Ando Toshikishi's remarks, it can be learned that the little devils have suffered a major setback in the brutal sweeping, encirclement, and suppression of our army in Shandong, and after the elimination of the Eighth and Tenth Divisions, the Second and Fifth Divisions, the most elite motorized divisions of the Chinese army, have suffered defeats at the hands of our instructors. Among them, the Fifth Division has been attacked by me twice, and Seishiro Itagaki committed suicide by disembowelment, and Ando Toshikichi must have made up such a lie to slander the Eighth Route Army and General Liu Yimin in order to avoid apologies for disembowelment. At this point, just look at his insults to General Liu Yimin, you can know that this Ando Toshikichi is a shrew-like figure.
