Baoshan Brigade Headquarters, Underground War Room.

Liu Yi hurriedly walked in and said to Yue Weihan: "Brigade, Li Yulong is going to carry out a night attack. ”

"I'll just say it." Yue Weihan snorted lightly and said, "Li Yulong, this kid is really intentional, the bayonet battalion is the fist unit of our Baoshan Brigade, how can it be possible to lose half a street in one day?" ”

Xuzhou Railway Station is not a separate building, there was originally a prosperous business district outside the station, but now the entire business district has been abandoned, leaving a large number of warehouses and buildings is an excellent place for street fighting, the bayonet battalion deliberately abandoned half of the street, obviously to bring in the army, and then fight with the army in the street.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "I've been following you for a long time, Li Yulong and they are all sincere." ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, it's really a good idea to give up half of the street to bring in the devil's living force, and then fight with the devil in the street to continuously consume their living power." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Liu Yi nodded and echoed loudly, "If the two armies are pulled to fight a field battle, the Yue army has an absolute advantage in large-caliber artillery, and there are a large number of small-caliber curved guns, even if the two armies are entangled, they can also provide fire support, so that our army's casualties will definitely exceed that of the Yue army." ”

Saying this, Liu Yi waved his fist vigorously, and then said: "But if you fight street battles in the urban area, the artillery advantage of the little devil will be gone, and the advantage of our army's flexible tactics and quick response can be brought into full play. ”

………… Chengdong Railway Station, underground tunnel.

All the officers above the platoon commander level of the bayonet battalion have all gathered at the battalion headquarters, and more than a dozen company platoon commanders went to that station, and Major Zhao Xinyi, who was standing next to him, immediately felt a murderous aura coming to his face, there is no doubt that most of the more than a dozen company platoon commanders are iron-blooded veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and their military age is definitely more than five years!

This is a miracle throughout the [***] battle sequence.

After the rout in North China, the defeat of Songhu, the battle of Nanjing, and the rout of Xuzhou, the number of veterans of other [***] units has been very small, and the platoon officers who rely on the backbone of the battle are rarely veterans with more than two years of military experience, and most of the officers have not yet joined the army for two years, or are cadets who have just graduated from military academies.

Even the Tang Enbo Corps, which is still vigorous, has been transferred by Chairman Jiang to the point where there are not many veterans left.

However, Chairman Chiang did not transfer a single soldier from the Baoshan Brigade, and even did everything possible to transfer veterans from the Shandong, Northeastern, Northwestern, and Sichuan armies to enrich the Baoshan Brigade.

The decisive factor in the strength of an army's combat effectiveness is the grassroots officers!

Historically, in the Nanyang and Pacific theaters, the reason why the third-rate or even fourth-rate divisions of the Yue army were able to defeat the British and American armies was not how good the weapons and equipment of the Yue army were, nor was it because of the spirit of bushido, but the factor that determined the surname was that the Yue army had a large number of high-quality grassroots officers who had experienced a hundred battles!

Most of these grassroots officers of the army have been fighting hard with the Chinese [***] team on the battlefield in China for five years, and have truly experienced the baptism of purgatory, whether it is combat experience, the ability to withstand the bad battle situation, or the ability to adapt to emergencies, they are by no means comparable to those grass chicken officers of the British army and the US army who have never fought in their lives!

It is no exaggeration to say that veterans are the most valuable asset of an army!

The reason why the Baoshan Brigade was able to fight and win many battles was that Yue Weihan's on-the-spot command was important, but these veterans were the real decisive factor, if he did not have a large number of veterans who had been through a hundred battles, even if Yue Weihan had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible for him to win even one victory from the frontal battlefield, at most he would engage in an ambush!

Getting back to the point, Li Yulong glanced around with burning eyes, and said sharply: "I won't say anything else, I'll just say one thing, our bayonet battalion is the iron fist of the Baoshan Brigade, and it is a hard bone that cannot be broken or smashed. Therefore, this battle is bound to bring out the majesty of our bayonet battalion! ”

"Rest assured." The commander of the second company rolled up his sleeves and said murderously, "Fighting in the streets, the little devil is still tender!" ”

"Okay, there's momentum." Li Yulong nodded, and immediately ordered sharply, "This time, the three companies are divided into three ways, and they attack the devil at the same time, remember, the purpose of this attack is not to seize the position, but to kill and injure the devil's living force, in a word, kill and kill, give Lao Tzu enough strength to kill the devil!" ”

"Yes!" More than a dozen company platoon commanders suddenly stood up and made a promise.

………… Near Xuzhou Railway Station, neighborhood.

Due to the bombardment of the army aviation and the shelling of the heavy artillery brigade, the whole neighborhood was already full of devastation, with collapsed houses everywhere, and beams still burning and smoking, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunsmoke, and faintly, even the smell of blood could be smelled, which was left after the fierce fighting during the day.

It was early morning, and the entire neighborhood was in a dead silence.

Whether it is the area controlled by [***] or the area controlled by the army, there is a dead silence at this time, except for the occasional spark from the beams of the house that are still burning and smoking, there is no light, there is no moon or stars in the sky, the whole world is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

In the endless darkness, Shiro Okubo is leaning against the wall and smoking.

Shiro Okubo is a second lieutenant squad leader of the 6th Division, from Kumamoto in southern Kyushu, Kumamoto is actually in the old nest of the Satsuma Domain during the Sengoku period, the fishermen in this area have always been known for their toughness and good fighting, before the Sakagaki Division was born, the 6th Division and the Sendai 2nd Division have been called the two strong forces of the army!

The 6th Division originally belonged to the 1st Army of the North China Front, and was transferred to the 10th Army after the Battle of Songhu broke out.

After the 77 Incident, the Sixth Division fought more than 100 battles with [***] in the Mengsui Battlefield, the North China Battlefield, the Songhu Battlefield and the Nanjing Battlefield, and Okubo Shiro also changed from a recruit who had never seen blood to a ruthless and bloodthirsty veteran, and at the same time changed from an ordinary soldier to a second lieutenant squad leader with more than 40 people.

Suddenly, a faint abnormal sound came.

Okubo Shiro suddenly turned over and sat up, the whole person was unprecedentedly alert, as a veteran of a hundred battles, he could clearly distinguish any slight sound on the battlefield, although the sound just now was subtle, but he was sure that it was definitely someone who accidentally stepped on the rubble, it must be Chinese!

The sentry 100 meters ahead of the breakthrough has not fired a warning gun so far, and it is obvious that something has happened.

Suddenly, Shiro Okubo stood up silently, and then slapped the soldiers who were napping along the wall one by one, and the sleepy soldiers were suddenly awakened, and quickly entered their respective firing positions, veterans are veterans, and they don't need to say anything more from the commander, they themselves know what to do.

In the suffocating dead silence, only a tom was heard, and immediately a flare had already risen into the air with a tail flame, and the entire block was illuminated as bright as day in an instant, and the Okubo team, which had been alerted in advance, and [***], who was rapidly advancing forward, opened fire almost at the same time, and fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on the silent battlefield.

As soon as the fire fell, Shiro Okubo knew that he was in trouble this time.

The opposing squadron is obviously also a veteran of a hundred battles, from the alternating cover between individual soldiers, to the skillful technical and tactical movements when attacking forward, to the construction of machine gun fire points, all of them are first-class standards, and Okubo Shiro even feels that it is impossible for the Imperial Army to do better than the squadron on the opposite side.

The most important thing is that the light firepower of the [***] team on the opposite side is very strong!

The four Czechs formed a tight crossfire, and the firepower of the Okubo squad was completely suppressed, and the machine-gun fire of the middle [***] team, although it was a temporary structure, was still very carefully constructed, either hidden in the window or behind the broken wall, and due to the obstruction of obstacles, the grenadier team of the Okubo squad could not help them at all.

Under the cover of machine guns, the stragglers of the [***] squadron soon broke through to the position of the army.

In less than a moment, the ground floor and the second floor guarded by the other two infantry groups of the Okubo squad were captured by [***], and only the third floor of the infantry group, machine gun team and grenadier team led by Second Lieutenant Okubo was still under the control of the army.

The flares in the air slowly went out, the world returned to darkness, and the gunfire became more and more intense!

The two flashlights suddenly lit up, and locked the staircase, and suddenly, clear footsteps came up from the staircase, and then a figure rushed out, the experienced Okubo Shiro was not moved at all, that figure could definitely not be a [***] person, but could only be the corpse of the fallen Imperial Army.

As Okubo Shiro expected, the figure fell straight down after jumping out of the staircase, and just by looking at the action of the fall, it was definitely not a living person.

Immediately, two more smoke-emitting grenades were thrown from the staircase.

Without waiting for Okubo Shiro to give an order, the two infantry of the Japanese army quickly stepped forward, kicked the two grenades back to the staircase, and then there were two violent explosions, faintly, there seemed to be two screams at the staircase, and then there was no movement, and even the four Chinese machine guns on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

The whole world suddenly became deathly silent, only in the distance, but the gunfire became more and more intense.

Shiro Okubo suddenly realized the strong crisis, and even the hairs on his body stood up, and he jumped out of the window without hesitation and jumped directly from the third floor! Almost at the moment when Shiro Okubo jumped out of the window, the building where the Okubo team was stationed collapsed with a huge explosion!
