Forward observation post of the 2nd Regiment of Baoshan.

Li Yulong, the commander of the bayonet battalion, walked in with a body of blood and said, "Commander Chi, the more than 200 little devils who went down to the pit have all been cleared, so one of them ran away!" Turtle son drop, that little devil is really not ordinary, my 3 company commanders are planted in his hands, and six snipers can't kill him when they shoot at the same time! ”

"Well done!" Chi Chengfeng struck the knot, "The bayonet battalion is worthy of being the iron fist of our brigade!" ”

Only Li Yulong's bayonet battalion remained in the tunnel to fight the devil search team, but the three main battalions of the Baoshan 2nd Regiment had already withdrawn from the tunnel, and this would be ambushed on both flanks.

"Tuanza, the little devil is retreating!" The commander of the 1st battalion next to him suddenly shouted, "Let's fight!" ”

"Nope." Chi Chengfeng shook his head categorically and said, "It's not a good deal to shoot with the little devil in the open field." ”

Huang Baocheng, chief of staff of the 2nd Regiment, also said: "The regimental seat is right, although after two months of arduous training, the tactical quality of the officers and men of the whole regiment has been greatly improved, but our firepower is still far inferior to that of the little devils. ”

The 1st battalion commander said in disbelief: "There are only three or four hundred little devils left, and we can still suffer?" ”

"You know!" Chi Chengfeng reprimanded, "The little devil who attacked has an infantry brigade, although the few squads that went down to the tunnel have been killed by the bayonet battalion, but the light and heavy machine gun fire and grenadiers of the little devil are unscathed, if we really want to attack, even if we can annihilate these hundreds of little devils, our own casualties will definitely not be small." ”

"Then let the artillery camp go!" The commander of the 1st battalion said, "Our Baoshan Brigade is not without artillery. ”

"You kid just lacks roots." Huang Baocheng also scolded, "Our Baoshan Brigade has artillery, but the artillery of the little devil in Hanzhuang on the opposite side has a wing, and the artillery battalion of Lao Niu here did not fire two shots, and the retaliatory firepower of the devil's artillery over there bombarded over. ”

"Hey." The 1st battalion commander said hatefully: "This is the meat in the mouth, and it is difficult not to bite it." ”

"What are you anxious about?" Chi Chengfeng said, "His grandma, these hundreds of little devils are the meat in our mouths sooner or later, but let them jump for two more days, what's the point?" ”

After that, Chi Chengfeng said to several battalion commanders again: "Okay, this little devil has also withdrawn, hurry up and let the brothers go back and continue to dig forward, tell the brothers that they can dig hard as soon as they throw off their arms, our 2nd regiment will fight without ambiguity, and digging tunnels will never lose to the 1st regiment and the 3rd regiment of bears, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." The three battalion commanders agreed with a bang and immediately took the order.

In less than a moment, clouds of dust rose again on the [***] position east of Hanzhuang.

………… Hanzhuang, the front command of the Isoya Division.

"Yaga! Yaga! Major General Seya Kai scolded and slapped the left and right slaps at Yuan Ye Shaosa.

Yuan Ye Shaozuo's head was slapped crooked again and again, and he returned to the right again and again, and his mouth was still "Hai" and "Haiyi", although he was beaten, he didn't dare to have the slightest resentment.

Major General Seya Kai slapped Yuan Ye Shaozuo more than a dozen times, and kicked him to the ground with a heavy kick before he was angry, poor Yuan Ye Shaozuo received more than a dozen big ear brackets and a hard kick, and he didn't dare to let half of the fart go, and after struggling to get up, he had to quickly close his feet and stand upright, and suddenly lowered his head "Haiyi".

It wasn't until Major General Seya Kai finished venting that Major General Lai Wuping next to him waved his hand and signaled Yuan Ye Shaozo to retreat.

Yuan Ye Shaozuo once again gathered his feet and stood upright, bowed his head to Major General Lai Wuping, and then turned around and went down, and then Major General Lai Wuping said to Major General Seya Kai: "Seya-kun, you don't have to be too angry, although the Yuan Ye Brigade suffered a loss in this attack, it was not without gain, at least we have figured out who the opponent is, isn't it?" ”

"Baoshan Brigade!" Seya Qi gritted his teeth and said, "This Baoshan Brigade has really become a big problem for the imperial army!" ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Lai Wuping shook his head and sighed, "The division headquarters just called, and the special high class once again deciphered the cipher code of the Zhina people, and through the correspondence of the Zhina people, it can be basically concluded that the special forces of the Zhina who attacked Linyi came from the Baoshan Brigade, and it is very likely that Yue Weihan himself commanded this special combat operation!" ”

Major General Kei Seya nodded, and said abruptly: "Counting Your Excellency Sakagaki and Sakamoto-kun, there are already three lieutenant generals and two major generals in the Great Empire who died directly or indirectly at the hands of Yue Weihan, and Major General Chiaki Shigeto was directly taken prisoner of the Baoshan Brigade, and since the Meiji Restoration, there has never been an army that can pose such a big threat to the Imperial Army." ”

Major General Lai Wuping said: "Setani-kun, it is no longer possible to stop the earthwork of the Baoshan Brigade with our strength alone, and I suggest that a report be sent to the division headquarters and the front-line command post of the base camp immediately, requesting that the air force directly under the North China Front immediately dispatch a bomber group to carry out a large-scale bombing of the positions on the outskirts of Hanzhuang. ”

………… Jinan, the headquarters of the front-line command post of the army base camp.

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe and the staff officers of the headquarters were nervously evaluating the suggestion of Major General Kei Seya, and the cost of dispatching bomber groups to bomb the outer positions of Hanzhuang on a large scale would be high, after all, the bombs of the Imperial Army Air Force were also in short supply, and generally speaking, only key tactical targets were qualified to use bombs.

"Your Excellency, General, I don't think that a bomber group will achieve the desired effect." Shaozuo staff officer Tengtian Zhidao said, "The people of China are only building a simple tunnel, and even if it is blown up, it is easy to repair it, but it is impossible for the imperial army to waste too many heavy bombs on the periphery of Hanzhuang." ”

"Moreover, the dispatch of bomber groups to bomb the tunnel positions outside Hanzhuang on a large scale may not be effective in killing and injuring the Chinese people." Teng Tianzhi paused, and then said, "With the tactical literacy of Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Brigade, it is impossible for them not to reserve anti-artillery holes in the tunnel, as long as the anti-artillery holes are dug deep enough and strong enough, it is enough to protect their infantry from aerial bombs. ”

Lieutenant General Okabe gritted his teeth, and immediately turned back to the adjutant and said, "Order, the Isoya Division must give full play to the supreme martial spirit of the imperial army and do its best to hold on until reinforcements arrive!" ”

………… Outside of Hanzhuang, the temporary headquarters of the Baoshan Brigade.

Seeing that the eastern sky was gradually starting to brighten, Liu Yi couldn't help but say worriedly: "Brigade, do you think the little devil will send bombers to bomb it?" Although the tunnels of each regiment have been pre-dug and have been reinforced, it is still difficult to say whether they may be able to resist the heavy bombs of the little devils. ”

"I can't say." Yue Weihan said, "But I hope the little devil can come and bomb." ”

Yue Weihan really hoped that the little devils could come to bomb, even if the Baoshan Brigade paid a certain amount of casualties, it was worth it.

After all, Xiao Yueben is only an island country, and it does not have any strategic resources of its own, and it has a huge navy, and the navy is a huge gold-swallowing beast that needs a lot of resources to maintain, so the resources that can be allocated to the army are actually very small.

………… Hanzhuang, the forward headquarters of the Isoya Division.

After reading the message, Major General Seya Kei's face suddenly became gloomy, and Major General Lai Wuping next to him said: "Seya-kun, how did the division headquarters and the base camp send a squad to the front-line command post reply?" ”

"You'd better see for yourself." Kei Seya handed the message to Major General Lai Wuping.

After reading the message, Major General Lai Wuping's face also changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Why is this happening? Why not send bombers for massive bombing? ”

Major General Seya Kei had a cold expression, he didn't have much hope for the tactical support of the air force directly under the North China Front, the number of aerial bombs of the army aviation is extremely small, and the high-value strategic targets used to bomb China's big cities are not enough, how can it be wasted on the outskirts of Hanzhuang, a little-known village of China?

"Seya-kun!" Major General Lai Wuping gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Order a breakthrough!" ”

"Breakout?" Major General Seya Kei said coldly, "The order issued by the division headquarters and the headquarters of the base camp to send the command post to the front line is for us to continue to hold on until reinforcements arrive!" ”

"It will be at least half a month before the reinforcements arrive, and we must not sit idly by!" Major General Zhen Wuping roared loudly, "With the speed of the tunnels of the Zhina people, they will definitely launch a general attack in three days, if they break through now, there may be a glimmer of life, and when the Zhina people dig up the road, it will be too late to break through." ”

"Lai Wujun!" Major General Kei Seya said angrily, "Don't forget your identity! You are a noble imperial warrior! ”

"No, I don't want to die here, my military career must not end here!" Major General Lai Wuping roared, "This is neither sacrificing one's life for the Empire, nor being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but a senseless suicide!" I will complain to the headquarters of the front army to His Excellency Terauchi, and I will complain directly to the base camp......"

At the critical moment of life and death, Major General Lai Wuping had completely lost his cool.

There are heroes and bears among the people, and there are also cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death among the soldiers who have been brainwashed by militaristic thoughts, Major General Lai Wuping is obviously one of them, Major General Seya Kai shook his head, and directly ordered the gendarmerie to lock up Major General Lai Pingwu, as the front-line commander of the Isoya Division, Major General Seya Kai has the right to make decisions on the spot.

………… The last calm day passed quickly.

The army trapped in Hanzhuang did not rush out again, and the air force did not come to bomb it.

After a day and night of intense excavation, dozens of main tunnels in three directions have been extended forward for more than 1,000 meters, and this progress has greatly exceeded Yue Weihan's expectations, Yue Weihan obviously underestimated the urgency of the officers and men of the whole brigade, and at this rate, the main tunnels will be dug within 50 meters of the periphery of Hanzhuang early tomorrow morning at the latest!
