The battle began. The front of Tongchuan Castle was covered with smoke and fire.

The grenades fell into the camp of the devil's charge, like a large splash of blood, and the dense devil formation caused them to immediately suffer countless casualties, becoming the best target under the grenade attack.

Devil rifles and cannonballs to answer the gunfire that was frantically coming at them, and all the devils who hit seemed to be ignited at this moment.

They saw that the continuous strafing bullets did not retreat, but roared furiously, rushing under the web of death made of flesh and blood, and frantically charging at the positions of the Independence Army.

"What a bunch of daring devils!" Yang Fei looked coldly at the crazy appearance of the devils through the shooting hole behind the trench, and laughed coldly: "Don't show mercy to your subordinates, you haven't hit a target for so long." It just so happens that the devils volunteer to risk their lives to be your target, if you live up to the kindness of these Oriental little masters, people will not let you go! So, comrades, as many bullets as you have, call them over! ”

There was a burst of laughter from inside the trenches, and the soldiers had already raised all their excitement, the magazines of the assault rifles were changing one after another, and the sound of firing pins in the air was constantly being heard.

Boom, boom, boom

At this moment, Tongchuan City, which had been silent, suddenly let out an angry anger that enveloped the entire battlefield.

Thousands of artillery pieces that had been placed in various corners of the city suddenly opened fire at the same time, densely covering the battlefield.

But what the devils never imagined was that the artillery fire of the independent army did not bombard the tens of thousands of devils who were attacking, but extended the artillery fire to the rear of the devils.

Boom boom Boom Boom Boom Tens of thousands of shells fell on the troops in the rear of the devil who were ready to reinforce at any time. Countless devils didn't react at all, and they were directly devoured by the powerful artillery fire.

The howitzer became the main force of this bombardment, and it had the longest range and the greatest power. Other artillery fire may only cover the front of the devil's troops, but it is impossible to extend it.

But the howitzer was different, its extraordinarily long firing range could cover the entire Japanese position from beginning to end. It is not only an important firepower reinforcement weapon, but also a powerful weapon of destruction, and the rear army of the devil who exploded in an instant became a pot of porridge.

Boom, boom, boom. Not far from Tada, several shells exploded. He watched several of his officers being consumed by artillery fire, blood spilled everywhere, stumps and large amounts of internal organs flying in the air.

"Commander, Commander, we have been ambushed. All the troops of the Independent Army are stationed in Tongchuan City, they are just waiting for us to come here, and then they want to annihilate us! Iida Sadagu cried and yelled at Tada.

If he doesn't roar, he can't do it, the artillery fire around him is so fierce that even if he yells in Tadajun's ears, Tadajun may not be able to hear it.

The devils around them were running around in a panic, but fortunately, there were various officers commanding them, and they hadn't been attacked yet, so they weren't too flustered. But just standing in the open space and being shelled, sooner or later it will be over.

"Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to retreat quickly?" Iida Sadagu yelled: "It's too late to leave now, if we wait for the damn independence army to rush out, we may not be able to leave!" ”

Tada's eyes widened, staring at the bloody battlefield in front of him.

Tens of thousands of his soldiers rushed to the Independence positions like moths to a fire, their bodies piled up in front of the steel plates. But the stubborn devils still keep charging forward, as if they know that there is death ahead, but they want to break through without hesitation.

"What a stubborn bunch!" Tada Jun laughed at himself helplessly: "I know that it is death, even if there is light ahead, but after that light there is endless darkness." But they want to rush, but they want to rush without hesitation! ”

Suddenly, he slowly turned his head and looked at his men around him. The orange glow of the artillery fire illuminated their faces in black and white, like sketches. The blast of air rushed in with a torrent of boiling heat, making the clothes rattle with a hunting sound.

"Any idea why? Because they were all the bravest warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. They are all the best inheritors of the spirit of bushido, and they are all the most powerful samurai of His Majesty the Emperor! Tada Jun suddenly pulled out his saber, with a solemnity that he had never felt before: "We have been defeated so many times, and as an imperial soldier, our dignity has been completely lost." Therefore, today, in Tongchuan, our dignity must not be thrown away again! ”

In the midst of all the devils' stunned, Tada Jun's war knife pointed at Tongchuan, and roared with righteousness: "The whole army immediately attacks Tongchuan, even if we build a bridge with our flesh and blood today, we will fight through the position of the independent army and kill them all in Tongchuan!" The dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army will be picked up again in Tongchuan today! ”

"Kill!"

After Tada Jun's words were finished, most of the devil officers roared. Only a few people such as Iida Sadagu still have bitter faces, they are not people with simple thoughts and can make them bloody with just a few words.

Although Tada Jun said it was atmospheric, a few people in Iida Sadagu knew that this guy must have a ghost

But regardless of whether there is a ghost in Tada's words, the person who rushes to the battlefield to send him to death is absolutely indispensable to him. So he had a bitter face, and quickly ran forward with a group of heartless subordinates, commanding the troops to attack Tongchuan.

"Order the artillery units to bombard the positions of the Independence Army with all their might! I'd like to see if their steel plates are thick, or if my shells are powerful! Tada Jun ordered with a serious expression.

"Hay!" A hot-blooded devil officer turned to leave, and the moment he turned around, he still had an incomparable longing for Tada Jun in his eyes. Only an iron-blooded soldier like Tada Jun is worthy of the identity of the commander of the North China Dispatch Army of the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Kill! Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Army of Japan"

The rear positions of the Japanese army, which were shrouded in artillery fire by the independent army, suddenly boiled, and the remaining nearly 50,000 troops, all of them, under the instigation of their respective officers, rushed to the front position of the independent army like a surging swarm.

They did not move the flank positions of the independent army, but concentrated their forces and struck the front of Tongchuan like a heavy hammer. It seems that he is a madman who wants to seek a lose-lose situation, and even if he dies, he will crash into it and splash the other party's blood before stopping!

Thundered...... The fierce artillery fire in the rear of the Japanese army was fired in unison, and the devils who had been aroused by the fierce flames were completely crazy, and they were completely in a posture of fighting to the death with the independent army-

Seeing that his troops had entered a fiery combat state, a sneer appeared on the corner of Tada's mouth, and he turned to look at Shozo Kawabe, the chief of staff who had been following him.

Shozo Kawabe has been partnered with Tada Jun for many years, and he knows what this chief wants to do with a glance. Nodding at the moment, he led a group of personal guards to protect Tada Jun shuttling through the artillery fire, and quickly walked into the distance.

"The headquarters guard team immediately assembles, hurry up, carry heavy weapons, and protect His Excellency the commander to leave!" As soon as he arrived at the car, Kawabe Shozo gave a cold order.

A guard brigade directly under the command of the dispatch army immediately moved quickly, seizing all the vehicles that could be called upon, and erecting a large number of heavy machine guns on the vehicles. The soldiers boarded the bus quickly to the roar of the officers.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you, where are you going?" A devil Dazuo saw the panic here and hurriedly ran over.

Tada Jun, who was sitting in the car, completely lost the courage he had when he commanded the battle just now, and was sitting quietly in the car at the moment, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he had stayed out of the situation in this chaotic battlefield.

"Where is Your Excellency Commander, do you need to ask more? Get back to your post and command your army to keep fighting! Kawabe Shozo's eyes were extremely cold, and he seemed to shoot a murderous shot.

The devil Dazuo ignored Kawabe Shozo, and continued to ask Tada Jun in the car eagerly: "Your Excellency Commander, the soldiers are all desperate, as the commander of the Empire, do you want to escape at such a time?" Could it be?"

Bang! A gunshot ended Osa's unfinished words, and his head was blown off by a shot at close range, and his face was full of incredulity, and he fell down heavily.

Hebe Zhengsan looked at the fallen corpse coldly, put away his gun and shouted around: "Set off immediately, get out of here!" ”

The convoy set off two minutes later, rushing all the way through the rear defense line of the devils and moving quickly in the direction of Xi'an.

At this moment, dust was rising in the distance, and a large number of horse teams were outflanking the rear of the Japanese army at lightning speed.

On the other side, it was also dusty, and the devils sitting in the car could clearly see a large number of infantry shouting and charging. In less than twenty minutes, they will be able to complete the encirclement of the rear of the Japanese army.

"Rush out, speed up!" Kawabe Shozo yelled loudly at the driver.

The fleeing Japanese convoy seemed to have gone crazy, the roar of the engine was like the thunder of the doomsday, and a long line of convoys rushed out of the encirclement that was about to close like an arrow from the string.

But whether it was cavalry or the besieging infantry, no one cared about the departure of this small group of Japanese troops. They continued to close the encirclement, targeting the 80,000 Japanese troops in front of Tongchuan.

Kawabe Shozo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat down on the sofa.

The roar of the motor can be felt clearly even when you are sitting in the car, as if a cow is roaring.

"They're finished!" Tada Jun still pressed his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Commander is still prescient, if we are one step late, I am afraid that we will be surrounded by the independent army in Tongchuan!" Kawabe Shozo said happily.

Tada Jun finally opened his eyes slowly, and an incomparably complex light swirled in his pupils.

"The lives of an army of 80,000 have been exchanged for our lives, and if we don't, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape this damn place. Independence Army, Gao Dong, you are really amazing! Tada Jun said coldly: "I hope that our 80,000 army will not die in vain, and consume more of the living strength of the independent army, which can be regarded as leaving a good opportunity for us to fight with the independent army in the future." ”
