The sun was setting, and as soon as it was dark, Yu Chengwan and his troops had already arrived, and then immediately entered the defense area where Hu Lian had predetermined it, and the other troops were transferred.

The night was really a good cover, for the adjustment of the Chinese troops, Itagaki Seishiro was not prepared at all, and when the Japanese attacked the next day, he found that the position was already full of Central Army wearing yellow uniforms.

At this time, Itagaki knew that the reinforcements had arrived, which made Itagaki Seishiro more or less sad, but on the other hand, Itagaki felt that this should be an opportunity for him, after all, there is a big gap between the Chinese army in terms of weapons and soldiers, so there is no need to worry about them cowering in the city to defend.

If a field battle is launched, he can take advantage of the wrong mobility and powerful artillery superiority to put a great strain on their troops. And even eliminate this Chinese force that has been obstructing itself.

For more than a day in the following day, the Independence Army and Yu Chengwan's division withstood all the fierce attacks of the Japanese army, more than 100 bombers in the sky bombed in turn, and hundreds of tanks and soldiers on the ground coordinated to attack, losing many positions in a row.

On the first day of the war, Yu Chengwan lost 3,000 soldiers. Seeing that the attack did not have much effect, the 16th Division changed its attack mode and launched an attack on the junction zone between the Independence Army and the Yu Cheng Wan Division, hoping to break the link between the two units and divide them.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the situation became extremely urgent, the commander of the 16th Division mobilized a wing to attack from the flank, and the 39th Division was taken by surprise.

"Listen to the troops on the other side, your folks are in our hands, if you shoot, they will die." Dazuo stood proudly in front of the position with a command knife, and they had done whatever it took to win.

"Commander, it's not good, they are using the villagers to blackmail us." The chief of staff hurried to the division commander.

"Brother of the Southwest Army, don't retreat, just do it with the little devil. It doesn't matter if one of us dies, but if you die, the country will be in danger. "The one who spoke was arrested, a prestigious old man in Shandong.

The Southwest Army has long laid a great prestige in the whole of China, and in addition to the fact that they are all dressed in green military uniforms, there are no ordinary people in the whole of China who do not know their way.

And these ordinary people, who were temporarily arrested by the Japanese, although they were afraid of death, were unwilling to exchange their bodies for positions.

"Yaga, damn old man." Da Zuo shot and killed the old man who spoke, and said to the military cao beside him, "You, take them forward, use their bodies as cover, I don't believe they will shoot." ”

"Hey!" Jun Cao Mali dragged the rope with the soldiers, and led the people forward, followed by the little devil with steel helmets.

"Brother Guojun, you shoot, what are you hesitating about." The people shouted anxiously.

"Shoot. Shoot. One person shouted, and more people shouted, but at this time, no one really wanted to shoot, after all, it was the people of their own nation in front of them. It's all Chinese, and no one has the courage to shoot.

"Smack!" The snipers couldn't help but kill the soldier Cao who was leading the team in front, but the angry soldiers killed dozens of Chinese civilians in a row.

The lives of Chinese people are only worth a few dollars, if you kill me a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, I will kill fifty of you Chinese, anyway, I have thousands of Chinese people here, I see how many ordinary people you let people die. Da Zuo said proudly.

"Commander, what should we do, the little devil is forcing us to go." At this time, no one had the courage to say anything about shooting, and the Southwest Army regularly had to conduct political audits, and whoever fired would be in trouble.

The damned Chinese did not even retreat, pass my order, kill hundreds of Chinese again, as long as they do not retreat, we will keep killing. Seeing the Chinese lying in a pool of blood, Hu Yongjie, the commander of the 39th Division, really had no choice but to let the troops choose to retreat.

"Xiqiao missed!" Hu Lian reported the results, and stood up suddenly, he really didn't expect this to happen, in his impression, Hu Yongjie was a tiger general, and he was also an old man in the Southwest Army, how could this kind of thing happen.

"The despicable Japanese army used our people as shields, and our soldiers were afraid to shoot at them, so that they could easily get the position, just now the little devils killed at least more than a thousand Chinese people, and they were already mad." The chief of staff said bitterly that the soldiers in the southwest are not afraid of death or devils, but they are all soldiers who have been educated by political instructors, and their political quality is very high, and in their view, the lives of the Chinese people are extremely important.

"Where is Hu Yongjie?" Hu Lianzhi said that Hu Yongjie couldn't be blamed on Hu Yongjie for this matter, but asked about the situation first.

"They retreated to Wangzhuang." The chief of staff looked at Hu Lian cautiously, he knew that the commander of the Dao Army was in a very bad mood these days.

"Wang Zhuang." Hu Lian looked at the map, took a deep breath and said, "Does General Yu Chengwan know about this matter?" ”

Xiqiao is the connection between the Independent Army and Yu Cheng Wanshi, if the 16th Division attacks Yu Cheng Wan Division at this time, it will definitely catch Yu Cheng Wan off guard, and at that time it may even lead to the complete collapse of the entire battlefield near Linyi.

"I've already told General Yu Chengwan." The chief of staff replied that in fact, he had just learned about the situation in Ludao, so he had just informed Yu Chengwanshi.

Hu Lian didn't say anything, but his admiration for Liu Yuan in his heart became stronger and stronger, if it wasn't for Yu Cheng Wanshi to rescue him, then he would definitely have lost his position now.

"Order Hu Yongjie, just tell him that the enemy is using his own mother to blackmail him, and he is not allowed to retreat, he is a nail for me must be nailed in Wangzhuang." Hu Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Let the redundant civilian personnel and medical personnel of the military department all go to Wangzhuang to support him." "In fact, Hu Lian has reached the point of exhaustion, and he can't take out extra troops at all.

"Commander, what are you doing here?" The chief of staff was a little worried, the military department counted the guard troops and civilian personnel, and there was almost a regiment of troops, if they were all transferred, who would guarantee the safety of the military headquarters.

"Leave one squad, the others will be transferred to Hu Yongjie, and the guys and others can be transferred away, Lao Tzu and the soldiers will eat dry food." Hu Lian really ordered, at this time, there is nothing more important than Wang Zhuang's safety.

Because as long as Wang Zhuang is not lost, his military headquarters cannot be lost.
