On the sortie position of the 34th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, hundreds of devil soldiers wearing gas masks were ready for battle, and under the command of lieutenants at all levels, they set up an attack formation.

"Wing Commander, the attacking force is ready to attack." Tamura Shosa ran over to report to the commander of the 34th Infantry Wing, Hachiro Tanakami.

"Hmm." Hachiro Tanakami glanced at the town of Guanji, which was already filled with poisonous smoke in front of him, turned his head, pulled out his command knife, and waved it in the void and said sharply: "Attack!" ”

"Hay!" Tamura Shaoza suddenly bowed his head, immediately turned around and raised two red and blue hand flags, and waved them vigorously towards the hundreds of attacking troops who were waiting to attack.

After receiving the order, another devil Zhongzuo pulled out his command knife, did not shout killing, but took the lead and quietly rushed towards the position of the Tiger Ben Army garrison brigade, and hundreds of devil soldiers behind him hurriedly followed.

…………………………………… On the forward position of the garrison brigade, except for a few soldiers who failed to put on gas masks in time and were poisoned, most of the soldiers put on gas masks in time, and at this moment they are fighting 120,000 points of spirit and are ready to fight.

Due to the poisonous gas, the soldiers' vision was severely obstructed, and the visibility of the entire position was less than twenty meters, but again, if the devils attacked, their vision would inevitably be affected.

As the minutes passed, hundreds of heavily armed devils quietly and quickly approached the defensive position of the Tiger Army.

"Platoon commander, the devil is here." A sharp-eyed warrior was the first to spot the group of devils who were already approaching his position less than twenty or thirty meters away, and immediately reminded loudly at the top of his voice.

"Fire! Hit me hard! A platoon of leaders grabbed an MP38 submachine gun and pulled the trigger first.

The commander of the platoon gave an order, and dozens of soldiers of the platoon who had been waiting for a long time opened fire one after another, and the second platoon was not to be outdone, and the soldiers pulled the triggers of their subordinates one after another.

As soon as the gunfire rang out in the forward position, Liu Guodong immediately ordered the soldiers in the pillboxes to open fire, and for a while, the gunfire outside the entire Guanji Town shook the sky, and the dense rain of bullets flew towards the devil crowd head-on.

In fact, in addition to the fighters in the forward position, the riflemen and machine gunners in the pillbox group could not see the light in front of them clearly at all, and only relied on the powerful machine gun fire of the general-purpose machine gun to block their firing range.

This style of play looks like a loser, but at this time, the garrison brigade is backed by the arsenal, and the most important thing is ammunition, as long as it can cause damage to the devils, can block the devils' attack this time, and keep the Guanji Arsenal, it is a victory.

Although there was the cover of smoke, the powerful and dense firepower of the garrison still caused a lot of damage to the devils, and those devils who were charging quickly under the dense rain of bullets fell one after another.

The angry devil commander brandished his command knife while shouting hoarsely at his subordinates to shoot back, to the devil's surprise, the imperial army's poison gas bombs failed to cause mass damage to the defenders of Guanji.

On the dirt slope, Tagami Hachiro Dazuo put down the binoculars in his hand with a blue face, turned his head and said to Tamura Shaosa behind him: "Tamura-kun, what's the matter, how can the firepower of the people of China be so fierce?" ”

"I don't know if it's lowly or lowly." Tamura Shaosa branched out.

"It is not difficult to judge from the sound of gunfire that the main strength of the defenders of Guanji Town is all concentrated in the front." After saying this, Hachiro Tanakami said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Immediately order the third squadron and the guards of the wing headquarters to enter the battle, launch an attack on Guanji Town from both flanks, and strive to capture Guanji Town in one fell swoop and annihilate the internal branch army in the town!" ”

"Hay!" Tamura Shaozo suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

………………………… When the 34th Infantry Wing of the Chinese Army was storming the market town, hundreds of militiamen in Taihe City were urgently evacuating hundreds of thousands of people in the city under the leadership of a second lieutenant platoon commander.

Qiao Anbang gave the order to the garrison brigade to abandon the Guanji Arsenal if necessary, and make every effort to cover the retreat of the people, but now the situation has changed because the army has abandoned the attack on Taihe and instead attacked the town of Guanji.

Except for the fourth platoon of the second company, the rest of the garrison brigade was ordered to guard in Taihe City, and all the rest exchanged fire with the devils in Guanji Town, so the top priority for the surviving officers and soldiers of the fourth platoon and hundreds of militiamen was to transfer the people in the city.

…………………… At the same time, the pheasant and the market are south of the city.

More than 2,000 people from the two armies were marching along the dirt road to Pheasant and Jiji, and the more than 2,000 troops were originally the 34th infantry; The other two circuitous troops of the wing, as the distance from Pheasant and Ji became closer, the two armies naturally merged into one.

"The warriors of the empire, in front of them is the sworn enemy of the empire, the base camp of the Tiger Ben Army, Pheasant and Ji, rush up, capture Pheasant and Ji, kill all the pigs in the city, and say the shame of the imperial army of this empire! とつげき (attack, assault)" A devil captain excitedly waved the command knife in his hand and shouted.

"Kill! Kill all the pigs! ”

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire!"

Thousands of ghost soldiers shouted in unison, bravely rushing towards the pheasant and Ji, looking down from the sky, the flow of people composed of ghost soldiers in yellow military uniforms rushed forward like rushing stool.

At the same time, Zhou Haosuo, commander of the Longshan Airport Garrison Battalion, led nearly 200 soldiers of the first company and dozens of Qiaojia guard platoons led by Qiao Wusuo stationed in the main position outside the south gate of Pheasant and Ji.

In the periphery of Pheasant and Ji, the Tiger Army has long built a large number of reinforced concrete permanent field fortifications, pillboxes, trenches are all over, although at this time Pheasant and Ji only have more than 200 defenders, but can still rely on strong fortifications to resist.

On the wall, Qiao Siyuan stood tall under the protection of two guards, one of whom held up a flagpole as thick as a child's arm with both hands, and on the top of the pole, a brand-new blue sky and white red flag fluttered in the wind.

In the fortifications outside the city, Zhou Hao and other officers and soldiers of the garrison looked back at the military flag fluttering in the wind and couldn't help but be in awe. People are in the city! Fight to the death! ”

"People are in the city, and they will not retreat!"

"People are in the city, and they will not retreat!"

"People are in the city, and they will not retreat!"

More than 200 officers and soldiers raised their steel guns one after another, and the sound of hoarse echoes in unison, and the huge waves of sound converged into a group and resounded in the sky for a long time.

At the head of the city, Qiao Siyuan looked solemn and slightly bowed.

In the suffocating waiting, at the end of the line of sight, a yellow line finally appeared on the horizon, and in a forward observation post on the position, Zhou Hao hurriedly raised the telescope.

Through the telescope, Zhou Hao clearly saw the continuous flow of devils, and a rough count showed that there were two thousand people.

Seeing this, the commander of the company next to him couldn't help but gasp and said, "Yingzuo, there are really a lot of little devils." ”

"It's not a big deal, as long as we block them for two hours, the reinforcements will be able to arrive, and then we will give them a big bag garden, and none of these two thousand little devils will want to run." Zhou Hao said in a deep voice: "Go, send a telegram to the airport, inform them that the devil attack has arrived, let the second and third companies of the airport strengthen their vigilance to prevent the devil from sneaking attack, and then send a telegram to the commander of the fourth division, Chu Jingming, and ask him to reinforce quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the first company responded with a bang, then turned around and hurried away.

.............................. "Oxford-kun, the people of China seem to be on guard. When it was less than two kilometers away from Pheasant and Ji, the army stopped the charge, and the captain of the 34th Infantry Wing of the 34th Infantry Wing, the captain of the third brigade, turned his head to the other Nakasa beside him with a telescope in his hand.

"According to the intelligence, the strength of the Pheasant and Ji Zhina army is very small, and it will never exceed one battalion, so we must not hesitate, but their reinforcements should be rushing around us, so we must capture this city as soon as possible." The captain of the second brigade, Taro Oxford, said.

"Well, what Oxford-kun said makes sense." Nakasa nodded and agreed: "But Oxford-kun, we should search for the exact location of their airfield as soon as possible, the damage caused by their air force to the imperial army is immeasurable, and we must destroy it." ”

"Yo Xi, Convert Mu-kun, I will take two squadrons to search the airfield of the Chinese people, and the rest of the troops will be under your unified command and responsible for the siege of the city." Oxford Taro said.

"Hay, please rest assured, Oxford-kun, I will definitely do my best!" Nakasa bowed his head sharply.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind the two, and the two devils looked back, and a communication soldier ran over with a hurried look.

"What kind of work?" Oxford Taro asked, raising his hand.

"Report to the captain, an urgent call from the division headquarters." The devil communication soldier hurriedly stepped forward and stood up and reported.

"Huh? Read! Oxford Taro and Nakasa Kanki looked at each other and waved their hands.

"The division headquarters sent an urgent telegram, in view of the fact that the Huben army of China is going all out to come to the rescue, the division commander ordered us to go all out to capture Pheasant and Ji, in order to respond to the frontal attack of the imperial army, and General Yoshikaryosuke of the Ninth Division has personally led reinforcements to arrive, so our division can fight with confidence. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire! ”

"Yo Xi, Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise and great." The two of Oxford were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately said: "Call back to the division commander, our department will definitely fight to the death, capture the pheasant and the set, and serve His Majesty the Emperor!" Serve the Empire! ”

"Hay!" The devil messenger quickly wrote down the message, bowed his head suddenly, and then turned around and walked away quickly.
