"Come in."

"Adjutant Zhang, you are really a timely rain, which regiment is the brother who came today?" Zhao Dengyu changed his frown, and greeted him with a big smile. No, when he saw Ren Ran behind Adjutant Zhang, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Stunned, he said, "Who is this?" ”

"Brigade Commander Zhao, come on, I'll introduce you." Adjutant Zhang saw it and hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Brigade Commander Zhao, this is the battalion commander who came to reinforce us on the order of Chief Su Tong, the commander of the 37th Group Army of Chahar. It's also a reinforcement for you."

"Good sir" Ren Ran solemnly saluted Zhao Dengyu: "Ren Ran has long heard that Chief Zhao's big knife team is extraordinary, and he killed Xiao devils and ghosts crying wolves at Xifengkou, and he admires him so much." This time, I was on the orders of Commander Su, and it was also a great honor to be able to assist your army in the battle. ”

Zhao Dengyu also returned the salute, and then asked with some doubts: "Commander Ren, did you come to a battalion?" What about your army? ”

Before Ren Ran could speak, Adjutant Zhang coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Brigade Commander Zhao, we'll talk about this question later, now let's settle the people who are the battalion commander first."

Zhao Dengyu is such a smart person, he can know what is going on as soon as he sees Adjutant Zhang's gods. sighed secretly in my heart, these people, when is it, are they still afraid that others will come to grab their own territory, do they have to give up Beiping to the Japanese to be willing?

Zhao Dengyu smiled reluctantly, and just wanted to speak.

Suddenly, a bloodstained soldier broke in at the door, only to see him stumbling in front of Zhao Dengyu and hurriedly said: "Brigade seat, the situation on the bridge is urgent, almost all the brothers in our battalion are glorious, and Battalion Commander Wang is also seriously injured, he sent me to ask for reinforcements." Hurry up and send reinforcements, or the big iron bridge will not be able to hold it. After saying that, the soldier threw himself to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he died of his breath, and he came to the headquarters with a hard breath.

Zhao Dengyu hugged the soldier and slowly closed his eyes, and said apologetically to Ren Ran: "Battalion commander, I'm really sorry, you just came and didn't let the brothers drink saliva."

Before Zhao Dengyu finished speaking, Ren Ran interrupted his words and said: "What is this sentence, Chief Zhao, it is the duty of our soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, you and I belong to the descendants of Yan and Huang, and our purpose is the same." Let's talk nonsense, Adjutant Zhang, don't bother the second master, you can do good things to the end, send us to the front of the position" The latter words he said staring into Adjutant Zhang's eyes.

"This is as it should be" Adjutant Zhang's face was slightly red, and he embarrassedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Ren Ran strode outside the headquarters, looked at the officers and soldiers of the battalion who were resting, and shouted: "Brothers, assemble"

After a while, looking at the neatly lined up soldiers in front of him, Ren Ran said loudly: "Brothers, we are going to the front line to kill devils, I won't say anything else, just one request, don't lose our Chahar's face, go"

Under the leadership of Ren Ran, seven hundred soldiers ran towards the big iron bridge like arrows from the string.

At this time, the form of the big iron bridge was extremely critical, and there were only more than 20 people left in the iron bridge defenders. Okamura Ninji sent the Aizu Wakamatsu Wing (29th Wing) to attack fiercely, and the fire of grenadiers, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and crooked light machine guns was all concentrated on the big iron bridge.

Seeing the remaining remnants of the defenders on the bridge, the thin voice of Hanyang seemed so weak. Okamura put down the binoculars and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yo Xi, herald, you go and tell Aizu-kun, and I'll give him credit when the bridge is captured."

"Hi"

The 29th Wing, which had been assured, attacked even more vigorously, and they swooped up with a roar under the command of Wing Commander Aizu Wakamatsu.

At this time, there were only a dozen soldiers left on the iron bridge under the command of a company commander, but they were so crushed by the heavy fire of the Japanese that they could not lift their heads, let alone counterattack.

The company commander looked at the black oppressive Japanese soldiers surging up in front of him from the gap, laughed miserably, and beckoned to the more than ten soldiers around him. More than ten soldiers surrounded him, and the company commander said in a low voice: "Brothers, we may be here today, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid of a ball, Lao Tzu killed three Xiao devils today, and death is enough." A pockmarked veteran said nonchalantly.

"That's it, we killed so many devils today, even if it's worth it."

The company commander laughed and said: "Okay, it's fate that we can die together today, brothers, bring the grenades on your bodies, and when the devil comes, let's give them a goddess to scatter flowers."

Soon there were more than a dozen grenades in front of the company commander, and he gathered the grenades together, and looked through the cracks to see that the Japanese troops had arrived less than thirty meters away from the iron bridge. He slowly looked around, and more than a dozen brothers struggled to gather around.

He was about to pull the fuse when suddenly there was a shout from behind the iron bridge, followed by a rapid burst of gunfire. Everyone was surprised to see that it was a team in colorful clothes rushing into their trenches one after another, and the weapons in their hands kept blazing.

Later, the surviving company commander recalled: At that time, I already thought that I was going to die, and I was ready to pull the fuse, who knew that they (the Chahar army) killed them from behind, their weapons are really powerful, all of them are automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons, good guys, the gunfire is like fried beans, and the Xiao devil in front of him is suddenly a bear. Hahaha

When Ren Ran arrived at the big iron bridge, he found that the situation was already extremely critical, and the Japanese army had rushed to a place less than thirty meters away from the defenders' position.

The Japanese troops were stunned by this sudden burst of fire, and before they could react for a while, a squadron that was charging was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. Dozens of corpses were left at the front of the position, and they crawled back.

"Yaga, where did this force come from? The bastard "saw that he was about to attack the position, but he was beaten and crawled back. This made the 29th Wing Captain Aizu Wakamatsu, who was originally happy in his heart, feel embarrassed.

"Bastard, order the first brigade to re-attack, if he can't attack it, he will go and apologize to the emperor by disembowelment," Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa, who was furious, brandished his command knife and roared loudly.

"Hi"

Unlike Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa, Okamura Ninji, who was watching the battle from behind, had a solemn face, and he found that the Shina troops who came from behind were different from the original defenders, first of all, their uniforms were different, and their weapons were also very different. Judging from their firepower density just now, such a firepower density is beyond the reach of even the Imperial Army. Chahar: This must be the 37th Chahar Army, which has been famous for a long time but has never fought a road.

At this time, Ren Ran, who rushed into the trench, came to the remaining dozen defenders on the position, and said with a solemn expression: "Brothers, your task has been completed, and we will take over this position." ”

The company commander looked at Ren Ran in a daze and was stunned for a while, then suddenly sat on the ground with his head in his hands and cried bitterly: "Why did you come here, there are only a dozen of our more than 300 brothers left." Woo Woo Camp is dead, and the brethren are dead."

Seeing the captain crying so heartbreakingly, Ren Ran and the brothers behind him couldn't help but feel sad. They knew that if they hadn't come, all the dozen brothers would have to be left here today.

Ren Ran gently hugged the company commander's shoulders and said solemnly: "Brothers, you can go back and rest at ease, just give it to us here." ”

The company commander cried for a while and then took Ren Ran's hand and said solemnly: "Sir, I can see that you should be from Chahar." This position is 315 meters long and 53 meters wide, and I will give you a lot of jiao. You must hold on to it, and you must not give it to xiao Japan, can you promise me? ”

Ren Ran said solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as I and my troops are still ordered to be stationed here, I guarantee that not an inch of position will be given to Xiao devils." ”

As soon as the words of "All the first battalion are here, salute our brave brethren of the 29th Army" ended, all the soldiers of the 1st battalion saluted the brave soldiers of the 29th Army with a standard military salute

The company commander also solemnly raised his right hand and saluted back, and only then was Ren Ran surprised to find that his right hand was missing three fingers

Seeing that the dozen or so soldiers supported each other and walked to the rear, Ren Ran just wanted to give an order, and a soldier in charge of monitoring the front warned him: "Camp, the devil is coming"

"Didn't the cao even give Lao Tzu time to set up the position?" Ren Ran spat and shouted loudly: "First company, second company, enter the position, artillery company and set up a position behind"

With Ren Ran's order, the soldiers set up their weapons one after another, boxes of grenades were distributed, and MG34 also set up a tripod and put on the bullet chain.

This attack was the first brigade of the 29th Wing, which was in charge of the attack just now, and this captain had just been scolded by the wing commander, and he was also red-eyed, but this time he ordered the whole brigade to be pressed.

He divided the whole brigade into ten attack waves, preparing to crush the opposing army in one fell swoop. And this attack method is the famous pig assault of the Japanese army. It is also called a sea lang-style attack, which means that it is like a sea lang until the target is defeated.

The characteristic of this method of warfare is that ten waves of attacks are continuous and never pause, and when the last attack fails, it will never stop, and the second wave of attacks will continue. After the tenth wave of attacks, the first wave continues and never stops. But this attack on Potts also had its weakness, that is, the casualties were too large, so the Japanese commanders generally did not use this tactic easily.

It is difficult for the ordinary Chinese army to resist in the face of such a continuous attack, because the army with too poor weapons and equipment and poor psychological quality cannot resist such an attack.

Today, it was also this captain who sacrificed this magic weapon with red eyes, but today he was facing the army of Commander Su who had always emphasized firepower suppression, and this captain was destined to be disappointed.

"Everyone, pay attention, wait for the Xiao devil to enter three hundred meters before shooting, and the sniper will focus on killing the grenadiers of the Xiao devil." Ren Ran, who was busy deploying troops, did not forget to give an order.

As soon as the order of the Japanese captain to attack came out, the first wave of Japanese attacks was immediately pressed.

"Stabilize Lao Tzu, everyone pay attention, no one is allowed to shoot if you don't put Xiao devil within 300 meters." He kept patrolling the position.

The Japanese finally rushed over, slowly approaching. Five hundred meters, four hundred, three hundred and fifty meters, until this time, they found that there was still no movement in the opposite position. It wasn't until I entered a distance of 300 meters that I seemed to hear a vicious voice from the opposite position: "Hit Lao Tzu"

Suddenly, there was a loud burst of gunfire on the opposite position, and countless bullets flew towards the Japanese army like waves. The first wave of Japanese troops immediately fell as if they were harvesting wheat.

The second wave of more than 100 Japanese troops followed up again, but this time the firepower of their battalion was still so strong. Under the sweep of more than 30 NG34s, not a single Japanese soldier was able to break through this barrage of metal.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who had been shot howling and lying on the ground and wailing, the heart of the captain of the first brigade who personally supervised the battle in the back had sunk into the abyss.

He saw everything clearly in the back, the army that had just arrived on the opposite side was not the original team of the 29th Army, which was short of guns and ammunition, they were definitely another army with terrifying firepower.

Their distinctive machine guns were so fast that the Empire's Type 92 heavy machine guns and 11-year (crooked) light machine guns were no match for it. His own machine gun often has not yet fired a few bullets, it will attract countless bullets from the opponent, and he saw with his own eyes that there was a Type 92 heavy machine gun that replaced three machine gunners in a row, but he didn't even finish firing a bullet protection plate.

The infantry was even worse, the opposing riflemen were holding semi-automatic rifles, and their accuracy and accuracy were perhaps inferior to the Empire's Type 38 rifles. But at a distance of 300 meters, what is the use of high accuracy? The soldiers of the empire often fired just one shot, and the other side had already fired five or six bullets. In such a situation, the two sides are no longer comparing who is accurate, but who has more bullets.

Because you have to be accurate, but if you don't go out, it's in vain, and the soldiers of the empire are all suppressed on the ground now, and they don't even dare to take their heads. Only then did the captain sadly discover that the Empire's proud pig assault could only be a ridiculous joke in the face of absolute firepower superiority.

The captain had the heart to order the troops to retreat, but when he thought of the ruthless eyes of the wing captain with cold light, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Rather than being ordered by the wing captain to be disemboweled, it is better to die on the battlefield to avoid family involvement and discrimination." ”

The captain immediately drew his command knife and shouted: "The first brigade has all of them, kill them."

When the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Brigade lying on the ground saw the captain taking the lead in rushing forward, they also got up and rushed forward to face the rain of bullets, hoping that as their military god Nogi Noshinori boasted, the ROU bullet would defeat the steel bullet.

But they responded with a fiercer attack from the defenders on the opposite side.

The wish of the first captain was soon fulfilled, and a bullet that flew out of nowhere fulfilled his wish. The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the streets of his hometown full of cherry blossoms and the beautiful and gentle wife at home.

Soon, the soldiers of the first brigade of the 29th Wing learned a bloody fact from their opponents on the opposite side, that is, the infantry is always made by rou, and no matter how brave Jing God is, the infantry cannot be made invulnerable. If you have to block the bullets and shell fragments flying sideways on the battlefield, the result will be either death or injury.

"Yaga, what is Aizu Wakamatsu doing? Does he want to wipe out all his troops? Okamura Ninji in the division headquarters couldn't help but be filled with anger when he saw the scene of the first brigade charging forward one after another, but falling one by one.

'This Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa ordered a large group of soldiers to press all the soldiers of the brigade without even figuring out the firepower configuration and deployment of the new defenders on the opposite side, this kind of person is not worthy of being a senior commander, at best he is a death captain. ’

"Herald, order Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa, stop the attack immediately, and come to see me as soon as the troops are withdrawn" Okamura Ninji couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked towards the war department.

"You bastards, what about grenadiers, why can't you even use grenadiers?" At this time, Aizu Wakamatsu, who was supervising the battle in the back, was about to burst into flames in his eyes. The captain of the 1st Brigade was beaten by the defenders on the opposite side until he saw Amaterasu, and the Japanese troops of the 1st Brigade rushed up like crazy. But apart from shrinking the distance between the enemy and us by more than 100 meters, it seems to be useless, on the contrary, except for incurring more than 60 submachine guns that suddenly burst out of the opponent's tongue of fire, nothing was found. However, the grenadier canister, which is a winning weapon that is relied on as a heavy weapon on weekdays, has no prestige on weekdays, and is often 'named' by a bullet that comes out of nowhere by the other party as soon as it emerges.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the Okamura Division orders you to stop the attack immediately and withdraw the troops first." Just when Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa was about to vomit blood, the herald came.

"Withdraw? Will they still be able to withdraw? Aizu Wakamatsu laughed miserably, and his heart was sad, now the first team has all been within a distance of more than 100 to 200 meters from the other party, and they can't even lift their heads when they are beaten by the other party. How to withdraw? Crawl back? Now the other party is stingily spilling bullets, making it clear that he wants to leave all the first brigade on the position, these hateful soldiers, don't they know that langfei is a very bad habit?

The newly arrived Zhina troops on the other side are too ruthless, and they want to leave all their first brigade behind.

"Okay, play well, just let these dog-day devils know the rules, our Huaxia land (pronounced dier) is not something they can come and leave if they want." At this time, on the position in front of the bridge, Ren Ran watched the remaining Japanese troops on the opposite side being suppressed so that he couldn't even let out a fart, and he felt how cool he was.

Some time ago, his troops fought with those Ma Jiajun and horse bandits in Qinghai, and it was not that he had never seen blood, but today when he saw the Japanese soldiers fall in front of him like cutting wheat, his heart was like smoking two or two taels of cigarettes in the legend, and he felt that the blood was boiling all over his body, and his body was so comfortable as if he was about to float up. It's no wonder that when the division decided to send his own battalion over to reinforce Lugou Bridge, the commanders of the surrounding battalions looked at him as if he had robbed their wives

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the First Brigade of Aizu Wakamatsu Osa can no longer be withdrawn, and they are now entangled by the Shina army on the opposite side. Aizu Wakamatsu Osa asks for artillery support" When Okamura Ninji, who was in the division headquarters, was inquiring about the location of the field artillery wing, the herald reported another piece of news that upset him.

Okamura Ninji's heart sank even more, and now that the field artillery wing is on the way, if the first brigade is all broken, the career of Aizu Wakamatsu Daisa, a fellow who belongs to the Yotsuya Ward of Tokyo City with himself, will probably end here.

Secretly weighing the gains and losses in his heart, Okamura Ningji still decided to pull his fellow countrymen, after all, he was also a newcomer in the second division, and his foundation was unstable, if he didn't even help his fellow countrymen, it would be too chilling.

After thinking about it, Okamura Ninji said word by word: "Order the mortar squadron to rush to the front of the position with special ammunition to help the first brigade retreat. ”

"Hi"

At the beginning of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army still controlled the use of poison gas relatively strictly, and it could only be used with the order of the division commander.

After giving the order to fire gas bombs, Okamura Ninji secretly sighed: Aizu-kun, that's all I can help you, after occupying the position of the Shina Army, the guilt of your first brigade's excessive losses should be reduced a lot, right?

Okamura Ninji, the second of the three birds of the "Baden-Baden League" that created the Showa warlords, is often boasted by the Japanese as a rare commander in both command and combat. Possessing the qualities of wisdom, insight, decisiveness, and strong will, he is a rare talent in the Japanese military.

Although there is no element of boasting in this, there is no doubt that Okamura Ninji is a conceited and proud person, and on weekdays, Okamura Ninji looks down on those who rely on the use of gas bombs to win, but today he has to make an exception in order for this fellow to get away with it.

At this time, on the position, Ren Ran saw that the number of Japanese troops in the first brigade with heavy casualties at the front of the position was less than two hundred, and the remnants of the Japanese army were also dying and struggling, when they suddenly heard a slight whistling sound in the sky. After a while, there was a "poof" sound like a bottle bursting on the position, and puffs of pale yellow smoke rose from all over the position, drifting over the position with the breeze.

"It's not good, it's a poison gas bomb" The roar of Ren Ran, who had exhausted all his strength, suddenly sounded from the inside of his lungs
