"Pay attention to concealment, the enemy plane is coming again!" Wang Weiben shouted and pressed Zhang Yuequn, the head of the regiment beside him. Four Japanese planes flew over them almost simultaneously.

There was a sound of machine gun fire, and Wang Weiben felt a chill on his head, and his hat was knocked off. Then there were several loud bangs, and Wang Weiben clearly felt the earth shaking, and then the splashed dirt hit his head and body. He propped himself up with his hands, shook it, shook off the dirt on his body, and then grabbed the hat next to him, the top of which had been punched by the plane's machine gun with a big hole, he patted the dirt on the hat, put it on, and straightened it.

This was exactly the 3rd Brigade and 9th Regiment of the 3rd Division that fought against the 39th Infantry Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Yikminganqi, and the Japanese army was very cautious when advancing before. From Fu Fu to Yangjiadian, all places on both sides of the highway that were considered suspicious were bombarded with cannons. The section of the road from Fufu to Yangjiadian had been destroyed by the Anti-Japanese Union a long time ago, and the Japanese army had to advance while building the road. In addition, small units of anti-United Nations squads attacked and harassed from time to time, and the Japanese army did not make smooth progress, and it was not until 9 o'clock in the morning that they arrived in front of the Yangjiadian anti-United Nations blocking position.

In the meantime, at about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, the Japanese army dispatched four planes to bomb the position of the Ninth Regiment, and as a result, the battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Japanese army found that the Chinese troops, which had been stubbornly resisting before, slipped out of their noses in the blink of an eye, and from yesterday to this morning, the 39th Infantry Wing and the Ninth Regiment of the Japanese Army fought dozens of times, the long was an hour, and the short was less than 10 minutes, and the commander of the 39th Infantry Wing, Numata Takazo Osa, saw that the battle trajectory of the Anti-Japanese Union was very suspicious, so he asked the pursuing Japanese troops to stop, report this suspicious situation to Major General Kotaro Miura, commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade.

Major General Kotaro Miura received the report from the wing commander of his subordinate wing, looked at the chief of staff who taught him, Umemura Maro Osa, and said, "Umemura-kun, what do you think. Is this a ruse by the Shina people? ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, your worries are unfounded. This time, we launched an offensive against the United Nations with our four-way army, and it took less than a year to rise to the United Nations. How can we resist the front of our Imperial Japanese Army, it was an accident a few times before, but accidents can't always happen, this time we are equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, coupled with the advantage of the sky, it is impossible for the Anti-Union to be undefeated, and not only the 39th Wing attacked quickly, the 40th Infantry Wing Captain Yoshio Nagano Osaa also sent a telegram to say that they encountered resistance from the Shina people, but they were all defeated by my heroic Imperial Army soldiers. According to my opinion, the strength of the Anti-Japanese Union is about 50,000, and the fighting in the Shangjiang area is very fierce, the Fourth Division and the 25th Division of the Eastern Front are attacking slowly, and there are traps and ambushes set by the Chinese people everywhere, and according to the analysis of the staff of the Eastern Front, the strength of the Chinese in the Shangjiang area is as high as more than 30,000, and there are also the Chinese troops confronting the central road in the north of Binjiang, resulting in the dispersion of the anti-Japanese forces. That means that we will only face a few thousand troops this time. Therefore, as soon as the Shina people met us, they were repelled by our powerful firepower. ”

"Yo Xi! He is worthy of being a top student of the Empire, and when he was about to leave, His Excellency the Commander also ordered us to let us take care of the main force of the Chinese people, and strive for an opportunity for Major General Anan, and now it seems that there is no need to carry out the decapitation operation at all. We can wipe out all the people of China, and we order the commander of the 39th Wing, Numata Takazo Daisa, to immediately launch an attack on the China troops and strive to completely annihilate this force. ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander. This is an order that has just been sent by the commander. One of the guards handed over a telegram.

"Yo Xi! Sure enough, as Umemura-kun expected, His Excellency the Commander ordered us not to carry out the original plan. Instead, he ordered us to immediately launch an attack on the Anti-League and wipe out the last resistance of the Anti-Union. ”

"Hey!" Umemura Maro turned around and went to the radio room next to the headquarters to deliver a message

After the large forces of the Japanese army reached the area defended by the 9th Regiment. Thinking that the Ninth Regiment had no long-range firepower, it swaggered and assembled in front of the position of the Ninth Regiment. The artillery battalion of the Ninth Regiment was furious when it found out and asked for battle, but the regiment commander Zhang Yuequn thought that it was not the time yet, because most of the Japanese artillery was hiding in the rear and it was difficult to destroy.

This Japanese artillery unit, which had about 20 artillery pieces, was now lining up to bombard the positions of the Ninth Regiment. However, at this time, the smoke from the bombs on the various formations had not yet dissipated, so the Japanese army could only bomb aimlessly.

This position is the last line of defense in front of Nahe County, and it has been reinforced by militia units many times, and the fortifications are very reliable. In addition, when the Japanese shelled it, the defenders left only a small number of troops to observe, and most of the troops were withdrawn to safety through the trenches. Therefore, although the Japanese bombed hard, the casualties of the Ninth Regiment were not large.

The Japanese then bombarded the front Sheephorn Ridge position. The hill is very small, and only one reinforced platoon is arranged. Seeing the heavy artillery fire of the enemy, the defenders retreated to the anti-slope position after a slight counterattack. The Japanese thought that the defenders of Sheephorn had all been killed, and launched an attack on the main position directly through the Sheephorn Leader position without checking.

Due to the bombing of Japanese planes and then the fierce shelling of Japanese troops, the two men in the position of the 3rd Division and the 9th Regiment could not hear each other face to face clearly, and the ears of the heralds were deaf. What's more, the soldiers in other positions had no choice but to ask the heralds to implement flags everywhere to direct the battle.

"Thank you, Wang! If you hadn't pounced like that, I'd have a few more holes in my body. Zhang Yuequn patted the dust on his body and thanked him.

"Regiment commander, if I encounter such a thing, you can also help me, you don't need to be so polite, if you want to thank me, don't skip class in the future to study at night, since you are the regiment commander, you have to set a good example for your subordinates, the commander-in-chief has said that you can't be a big boss." Wang Weiben, political commissar of the Ninth Regiment, said with a smile.

"I have a truancy there, I'm busy with military affairs, by the way, Lao Wang is not the brigade commander's order to come down again, let us retreat, we have retreated thirty miles, and then retreat to the door of the house, I don't know what the head of the headquarters thinks, look at the little devils are rampant, they have set up artillery positions in our noses, so that I don't dare to eat them, I am afraid that once the order to retreat is given, we will have to throw artillery." Zhang Yuequn asked angrily.

"This time we didn't retreat, but let us stop the Japanese army here, and the brigade commander ordered us to hold here and not let the little devils pass through here."

"Great, I'll just wait for the brigade commander's order! You go and send a telegram to the brigade commander to tell him, our Ninth Regiment will definitely hold here, the little devil wants to go over unless the Ninth Regiment is all killed, Ah San told the battalion commanders to immediately lead the soldiers to the position to prepare for battle, Lao Tzu wants to let the group of little devils who have been chasing us for a day see how powerful our old Ninth Regiment is. ”

The commander of the 39th Infantry Wing, Numata Takazo Osa, saw that the position in front of him had been shelled and bombed for nearly an hour, and the entire position was bombed full of potholes, and he looked through a telescope and found that there was not a single Shina soldier in the position, Numata Takazo Osa showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, according to him, this group of Shina soldiers must have retreated again, in order to prove his conjecture, Numata Takazo ordered the Toyota Brigade under his command to attack.
