As the remnants of the Japanese fighters fled, the battle situation on the main battlefield on the southern front gradually became clearer, but the situation of Fang Shengde's sharp knife company in Wanjiazhuang on the northern front became difficult.

Yamada Nakasa, commander of the 66th Wing of the Japanese Army, quickly understood the tactical characteristics of the Sharp Knife Company's fast and slow attack, and immediately formulated an operational policy of steadily advancing step by step, and sent a small force to open the way in front and the main force to follow behind, receiving reinforcements at any time to outflank the Chinese officers and men in the raid.

The Japanese mortars and infantry artillery bombarded indiscriminately, and many houses in Wanjiazhuang collapsed, and the room for maneuvering on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller.

The Japanese army's advance strategy of occupying one house and defending one house made the defenders gradually compressed to the southwest of the village.

On several occasions, the officers and men of the Sharp Knife Company that launched the raid were counter-outflanked by the large forces followed by the Japanese army, and the losses were not small. Subsequently, the officers and men had to defend every room and courtyard.

In a courtyard in the middle of the village, four or five officers and soldiers of the vanguard company gathered, and after the Japanese approached, the rifle artillery took the lead, and after a round of shelling, the earthen wall was directly blown down, and then the devils formed a straggler formation and attacked the courtyard from the front and back. There was a "click" of submachine gun fire, followed by the roars of the officers and men of the Sharp Knife Company fighting to kill the enemy, and the wails of the Japanese soldiers.

"Withdraw"

Seeing a steady stream of Japanese troops breaking into that courtyard, and the gunfire gradually subsided, Fang Shengde had red eyes and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order all officers and soldiers to retreat to the southwest corner of the village, and use the terrain there to fight a counterattack by the Japanese army."

"Yes"

The correspondent nodded and quickly left.

There is a drainage ditch in the center of Wanjiazhuang, which winds its way to the East Lake, and when it reaches the southwest of the village, the ditch becomes wider, becoming a natural line of defense.

A squadron of Japanese troops demolished two small courtyards near the ditch and continued to advance to the southwest. When the devil rushed onto the stone bridge, suddenly a dense burst of grenades fell on the top of the devil's head, and before it landed, a cluster of red and yellow fireballs exploded, and countless fragments fell like a torrential rain, and a large number of devils fell screaming.

After the grenade was thrown, the officers and men of the knife company who were lying in ambush in the house on the other side of the drainage ditch grabbed their submachine guns and did not aim at them, but fired at the Japanese soldiers who were wading through the ditch at the bridgehead and on both wings, knocking down a large piece of the devil who had just been shocked by the grenade explosion like cutting leeks.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Japanese squadron leader loudly ordered to retreat.

Fang Shengde, who had already organized the team, refused to miss this opportunity, and shouted: "Brothers, go up" After speaking, the first one picked up the submachine gun, jumped up and rushed out towards the devil. The fighters in the back jumped up one after another, some with submachine guns, and the other with rifles with bayonets on their shoulders to launch a counter-charge against the devils.

"Death to those who stand in my way"

Fang Shengde roared, and the submachine gun in his hand swept several wounded Japanese soldiers who were retreating slowly to the ground, and shouted with his backhand: "Brothers, rush"

Seeing that the company commander took the lead in the charge, the officers and men of the company, as the most elite of the regiment, were of course not far behind, and the fast whirring wind crossed Fang Shengde with a gust of wind, picked up the submachine gun and rifle in his hand and shot at the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was suddenly counterattacked by a counter-charge, and the losses were not small, and the captain of the Japanese army who was pressing the formation in the back was worried about being held accountable afterwards, so he turned red in the eye, waved his command knife, and let out a hoarse roar in his mouth: "Kill and give"

The Japanese troops in the retreat were well-trained, and when they heard this, they immediately turned with their guns, and the sound of bullets retreating took less than three seconds to complete the items of retreating, standing, and stabbing, and they brazenly met the rifles with good bayonets, and tore them together with the Chinese soldiers who counter-charged.

In an instant, blood flashed everywhere.

"Kill"

Fang Shengde finished the bullets in the submachine gun, swept down a large number of Japanese soldiers, and then picked up a good bayonet 38 guns from the ground and stabbed the Japanese soldiers.

The ground was stacked with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, most of which were Japanese soldiers, and everyone's clothes were stained red with blood in the melee, and they didn't know whether it was their own blood or the enemy's blood.

In the face of a formidable opponent, the Japanese army finally broke down, and I don't know who turned around and fled first, and the remaining thirty or forty devils in the last three or forty made a noise, and surrounded the captain and fled through the center of the village in one breath, only to regroup with the support of the receiving troops.

Fang Shengde did not dare to lead his troops in pursuit, so he hurriedly rearranged the defense line and counted his men. Although the Sharp Knife Company succeeded in holding back the Japanese troops for three or four hours, it paid an extremely heavy price, and now the entire company has lost nearly half of its personnel, and there are still more than 90 people who can continue to fight, but most of them are wounded.

Fang Shengde's heart was like a knife, but he knew that the enemy was not comfortable, and he had eliminated at least five or six hundred devils in the battle so far, and the exchange rate between friend and foe had reached one to ten, and this deal was not a loss, which strengthened his confidence in sticking to it.

Fang Shengde crawled and rushed north along the drainage ditch, through a low bush, to the courtyard in front of the drainage ditch near the northwest of the village, and quietly climbed to the roof, just in time to see an officer and soldier of the Sharp Knife Company lying quietly on the roof.

Fang Shengde slowly crawled over, picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, touched it with his elbow, and asked, "Xiao Chunzi, you take a good look, as long as you can get rid of that devil, I will apply for a first-class merit for you when I go back."

"I can't do it, the Japanese commander has exceeded the maximum range of the sniper rifle"

Koharuko stared at the Japanese soldier Nakasa in the scope and replied without a trace of emotion. Fang Shengde put down the binoculars regretfully, and scolded in annoyance: "The division seat is too eccentric, and everything good is stuffed into the spy company."

In fact, the Nl903 Springfield rifle in the hand of Xiao Chunzi, also known as the Springfield rifle, has the characteristics of maintaining good accuracy and action reliability in various harsh environments, and has been adopted by the US army since 1903 It has been the standard rifle of the US military, plus a 5x optical scope has become an excellent sniper rifle, which is already a good gun for the current Chinese army.

But Fang Shengde's complaint is also reasonable, because the special service company of the division has been equipped with the Germans. The 7 mm caliber sniper rifle has an effective range of 1,100 meters alone, while the Nl903 sniper rifle in Koharuko's hand has a range of only 550 meters.

After continuous troop increases, two Japanese brigades had been concentrated in the village, and Yamada Nakasa did not hesitate to move the headquarters to the trench that the original regiment had built on the east side of the village, and directed the Japanese attack nearby.

With more than 80 people against the Japanese army of 2,000 people, and the Japanese army can continue to invest troops in Wanjiazhuang, not only Fang Shengde is worried about the safety of his subordinates, but Xiao Chunzi is even more anxious.

In the scope, Koharuko quietly looked at the Japanese soldier Nakasa, without the slightest intention of making a move. Without all certainty, rash shooting will not only startle the enemy and make the enemy more vigilant, but also invite fierce retaliation from the Japanese army, not to mention anything else, just those mortars deployed in the trenches are enough for him to drink a pot.

In the camera, Yamada Nakasa stood up and once again commanded the infantry artillery position to move forward, preparing to gradually compress the range of activities of the Chinese troops in the village......

Koharuko silently calculated the distance between herself and Yamada Nakasa, seven hundred and fifty meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters...... Exactly at a distance of five hundred and fifty meters, Yamada Nakasa stopped and turned to give the order.

The devil artillery put down the infantry guns, began to adjust the firing of Zhu Yuan, loaded the ammunition, and shelled the houses guarded by us in the west of the village.

Xiao Chunzi suppressed the excitement in her heart, turned her head, looked at the small bamboo forest on the side of the courtyard, judged the wind direction and strength according to the swaying degree of the bamboo leaves, and then touched her nose to feel the temperature and humidity of the air.

After a while, Koharuko finally turned around confidently and shifted the dot in the center of the scope slightly towards the upper left of Nakasa's heart.

Xiao Chunzi held her breath, her fingers moved slightly, and an angry bullet broke away from the muzzle of the gun, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the heart of the devil Nakasa.

In the scope, the devil Nakasa clutched his chest in disbelief, looked down, and blood quickly came out from between his fingers, and then he fell down with his head in distraction.

"Fantastic"

Koharuko was overjoyed, roared softly, and quickly rolled over and slid from the roof to the courtyard wall, and quickly jumped into the courtyard below.

Fang Shengde, who was observing the enemy situation on the other roof, slid directly from the roof to the ground, ran into the yard, and gave Xiao Chunzi a punch in the chest in a relieved manner, and said with great joy: "Well done, I actually fell into a devil...... Looking back, Lao Tzu will give you credit, and you will definitely be able to show your majesty in front of your little girlfriend."

Haruko scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled sheepishly.

As the news of the death of Wing Commander Yamada Nakasa spread, the morale of the Japanese army was gone, and the offensive could no longer be organized, at this time, it happened that the telegram came with the news that the 150th Wing had failed in the offensive on the southern front, and the chief of staff of the 66th Wing, Ito Hisada, hurriedly ordered a retreat, and then rushed to Longhu Town.

When the news of the repulsion of the attack of the Yamada Wing by the sharp knife company of the Han Tiecheng Regiment reached the former enemy headquarters of the New Second Division, the frontal battlefield had already entered a white-hot stage.

After all, the Japanese army was well-trained, and although Wing Commander Yamamoto Shigetsu was killed and the command system failed, the quality and obedience of the Japanese soldiers still played a huge role; after being ambushed, under the organization of the captains of each brigade, six machine gun positions were erected, and the crooked sub-machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns were concentrated and used, forming a storm of steel that swept towards the officers and men of the New Second Division in the assault

For a moment, clouds of blood mist rose in the ranks that were attacking at full speed, and waves of officers and men of the New Second Division fell to the ground screaming

The Japanese machine-gun fire hit the entire offensive formation, and the cross-fire tongues of each machine-gun position swept over and over again where the commando-shaped fire sickles passed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere

However, the mortar battalion of the artillery regiment of the new 2nd Division soon adjusted its firing, and the Japanese machine-gun positions were overturned one after another by falling shells, and they fell silent at the end of the day.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese commander organized a death squad, one by one with explosives bags, and pounced on the officers and men of the New Second Division who were approaching, most of whom were swept away by light machine guns and submachine guns and fell on the sprint road, and the bones were left after the explosives bags were blown up. However, there were still lucky people who rushed into the attack queue, flashes of orange fire, screams one after another, and the Chinese soldiers close to the area of the human bomb explosion turned into bloody corpses one after another

The death squads organized by the Japanese army quickly failed, and the Chinese army advanced rapidly.

The four regiments led by Wu Guohua fought fiercely and rushed the already chaotic Japanese army. When attacking, the whole regiment was greeted with grenades, and then light machine guns and submachine guns hit the head, and they hit the defeated Japanese troops one by one.

The officers and men of the spy company mixed in the Japanese formation, wearing Japanese military uniforms, fished in troubled waters, and took advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army's position to specifically find those places where the Japanese troops were concentrated to attack.

In the end, the Japanese army was divided into more than a dozen scattered small circles and continued to resist stubbornly. However, under the attack of Fan Daoquan, Wu Guohua's regiment and the spy company, it was only a matter of time before the Japanese army was destroyed.

Jiulong Mountain, a small hill near the former enemy headquarters of the New Second Division.

Wu Ming, Long Shaogang, and Dai Ziran stood under a large camphor tree, observing the situation on the battlefield.

Dai Ziran put down the binoculars and said to Wu Ming with emotion: "Wu Guohua is really a fierce general, and this time his four regiments have achieved a lot of results."

Wu Ming knows the advantages and disadvantages of the two generals under his command, Fan Daoquan is thoughtful, the formation is rigorous and disciplined, and the attack must be overcome and the defense must be strong. On the other hand, Wu Guohua's four regiments are usually poorly disciplined, but on the battlefield, the four regiments are like the evil of the ancients, extremely fierce, and can often find the enemy's weaknesses through rapid intersperse, and then chase and fight fiercely, and achieve great results.

Long Shaogang nodded with satisfaction: "Fan Daoquan is suitable for the battle of the large army, and he will win with dignity." Wu Guohua's department was like a sharp knife, hitting the heart of the enemy. ”

Wu Ming smiled brightly, Long Shaogang has made great progress in the past two years, his horizons have broadened a lot, and he has been able to analyze the battle situation in a more comprehensive and detailed manner, which was difficult to imagine before.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane, which was out of range of antiaircraft guns, reported the latest battle situation to the headquarters of the 10th Army, and Yanagawa Heisuke, who was waiting for news in the command cabin, was stunned after receiving the battle report.

After nearly three hours of fierce fighting, the New Second Division finally completely defeated the Japanese army, and many Japanese soldiers who resisted to the death were killed.

Under the suppression of the artillery fire of the new 2nd Division, the special service company, Wu Guohua, and Fan Daoquan were like autumn winds sweeping away the leaves, and after seeing that there was no hope of victory at all and many casualties around them, the originally heroic and fearless Japanese army finally collapsed

As the first soldier throws away his guns, the second and third follow.

The last battle took place on a mound of earth four or five meters high, and more than 50 devils dripping with blood under the leadership of a group leader held up their bright bayonets to meet the officers and men of the New Second Division, vainly trying to carry out a white-knuckle battle, but unfortunately the New Second Division did not give them a chance, and in the roar of hundreds of submachine guns and light machine guns, the devils danced a death dance in the rain of bullets, and hundreds of bullets shot the devils into a hornet's nest full of holes

"Victory, division, we have won" Dai Ziran, who was holding the latest battle report from the front line, danced happily.

"Yes, it's a victory" Long Shaogang let out a heavy breath, with a little tears in his eyes: "Victory is so hard-won"

Wu Ming pursed his lips and sighed in his heart, victory is indeed not easy to come by, from the front-line position west of Dushantang, step by step to stimulate and lure the Japanese army to take the bait, to the mine array on the No. 1 Heights, and the combined attack of the artillery regiment and the second and fourth regiments, any step was completed so hard.

In the face of the incomparably strong Japanese army, Wu Ming's attack on the 150th Wing is not much, the terrain and topography limit Wu Ming's use of troops, the reeds in the river bay ambush two regiments is the limit, Wu Ming calculates step by step, a battle is like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, if one is not careful, it may be injured by the tiger.

On the battlefield ahead, the captured Japanese soldiers lined up at gunpoint and marched west of Zhaputang. Of the more than 600 Japanese prisoners, Fan Dao's entire regiment captured more than 400 people, and Wu Guohua and the spy company together captured less than 200 prisoners.

Wu Guohua had a beard on his face, walked over, beckoned, and greeted Fan Daoquan: "Old Fan, hurry up, the division orders us to withdraw from the battlefield immediately."

"I know the way"

Fan Daoquan agreed, but he was worried about the slow Japanese prisoners, so he had to order his guards: "Quickly, whether you whip them or beat them with the butts of their guns, let these devils move, what do they look like when they are lifeless?"

"Yes"

The guards quickly delivered the order.

Wu Guohua was full of smiles, leaned over, pointed to the devil captives and said disdainfully: "Lao Fan, what do you want so many prisoners for?" If you want me to see, where is the use of such trouble to make a sudden mistake with a gun?"

From the program of Phoenix Radio Station, the new second division learned about the ferocity of the devils from top to bottom, and the massacre of prisoners and civilians of the national army on the battlefield in North China was in an uproar, if it wasn't for Fan Daoquan to stop it, it would be good if more than 400 prisoners could catch a fraction.

"These little devils are useful...... If nothing else, they are the best human shields, at least the planes of the little devils don't dare to bomb indiscriminately."

After speaking, Fan Daoquan pointed to the sky in the distance, but unfortunately the few fighters that were originally hovering had already disappeared, and his words were useless, so he had to shake his head awkwardly.

Yin Dizhong led two regiments of the supplementary brigade into the battlefield, and saw that the devil prisoners of the brigade were taken away under the threat of bayonets and muzzles, and even shouted depressed, so he had to undertake the task of cleaning up the battlefield.

A quarter of an hour later, a Japanese reconnaissance plane roared like a big bird from a low altitude, and the officers and men of the New Second Division fell to the ground one after another.

"Bang bang—"

The anti-aircraft guns in the reeds opened fire one after another, but the Japanese planes were too fast, and one shell after another missed

Luo Changling slapped his thigh regretfully, what a good opportunity but he didn't grasp it, it seems that the anti-aircraft artillery battalion's anti-aircraft shooting skills still need to be strengthened, and the Japanese planes observed what they wanted, hovered in the air, fled into the distance, and suddenly pulled up after getting out of the range of the anti-aircraft guns, and quickly disappeared into the blue sky.

The Japanese planes went away, and about two hours passed, and when the battlefield was almost cleaned, Luo Changling reluctantly waved his hand and notified the anti-aircraft artillery positions to be transferred.

When the news of the 150th Wing being annihilated by the Chinese army came back, the cabin was frighteningly quiet. When the flag of the 150th Wing returned by the reconnaissance plane was likely to be captured by the Chinese troops, the officers were stunned, their faces flushed, and they had nowhere to vent their anger.

The Imperial soldiers could accept defeat, but no one would let the banner be captured by the enemy.

The flag of the United Wing was personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the crown of the golden chrysanthemum flag meant to replace the Emperor's personal expedition. There is only one wing flag of each wing, which is unique in the world, so it is extremely precious, so there are special units in the Japanese wing to protect the military flag.

The Japanese army was taught by the European powers, so like the armies of Germany, France, Britain and other countries, the Japanese army wing is the largest standing army unit, and the army wing flag is the supreme symbol of the Japanese army and is irreplaceable

"Yaga"

Yanagawa Heisuke drew his saber and slashed to death the communications staff officer who came to report.

The generals' eyes were blood-red, and the Japanese army has been invincible since the Russo-Japanese War, and it has been invincible. Although more than 1,000 people were lost in Heixingguan a while ago, it was just a heavy baggage team, and the 10th Army didn't pay much attention to this, but this time it was different, the 150th Wing of Yamamoto Shigetsu Province was the main wing of the 114th Division, and Yanagawa Heisuke even transferred a brigade from other divisions to form a reinforced wing, but now it was annihilated by the new 2nd Division, which really made people angry.

It would be enough for the 150th Wing to be annihilated, but if the flag of the Wing was not burned and captured by the Chinese army, it would definitely be a shame for all the officers and men of the 10th Army, and it would be a desecration against His Majesty the Emperor.

If the military flag is there, it will be compiled, and if the military flag is not, it will be sanctioned.

If the flag is destroyed, you can apply again, but what if it is captured by the enemy?

Since the Meiji Restoration, there has never been a precedent for the Japanese army to be captured by enemy troops, but now it is possible that the curse may be broken by the new 2nd Division, which is really a bigger thing than stabbing the sky for the Japanese army whose honor is more important than life, and it is a huge disaster for the top brass of the 10th Army.
