An hour later. As Li Tieshu expected, the Japanese machine came to the sky above Wanping City for the second time. This time, without the interference of anti-aircraft fire, the Japanese aircraft began to become unscrupulous. They first completely destroyed the artillery positions, then surrounded the four pillboxes, and began repeated dive bombardment, until all the bombs were used up and half of the four pillboxes were blown down, and then they ploughed the defenders' positions at Wanping City and Lugou Bridge with machine guns, and then swaggered away.

"Damn, the little devil is so rampant!" In Wanping City, in the air-raid shelter at the head of the Lugou Bridge, there were soldiers of the Cadet Army who scolded viciously from time to time. Their hands gripped their weapons hard, and their eyes were red with the monstrous indignation in their hearts—a unit also has a temper, and the cultivation of this temper has a great deal to do with their supreme commander and their direct commander. To put it mildly, this is the soul of an army. What kind of person is Ouyang Yun, from the moment the Xuebing Army rose in the land of North China, there have been all kinds of rumors in the outside world, and one of them is recognized by the world is his hatred of the Japanese.

Undoubtedly, the officers and men of the Cadet Army have inherited this character of the chief officer very well, so the Kwantung Army's Nanjiro, Tojo Hideki and others are so jealous and hateful to the Cadet Army, so they can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The shrill sound of air raid sirens, the roar of airplanes, and the explosion of bombs were mixed in, making the whole earth seem to tremble because of this.

Xie Changgeng and many of his subordinates stayed in their air-raid shelter, holding an anti-materiel stribution rifle, staring blankly at the entrance of the cave, thinking about where to run.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander," the main gunner Wang Xiaoyu called him loudly, and when he turned around, he said, "Let's go out and shoot a few shots, the little devil is also rampant." ”

Xie Changgeng glanced at him, this was a young face, the fluff on his face had not yet faded, and some dust and gunpowder smoke carved a little vicissitudes on his face. There was a frenzied glint in his young eyes, "Battalion commander, let's ......"

Xie Changgeng looked at the others again, without exception, everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm for fighting. Not only because the little devil is too rampant, but also because the comrades who died just now, those soldiers are all cardamom years, they should have a more ideal career to complete, a better life to enjoy, but now they have left their lives on this land.

"Let me stay well, there will be a chance to kill devils in the future, but not now!" Xie Changgeng said in a hoarse throat, his brows twisted slightly. What he said just now was actually what Li Tieshu said to him on the walkie-talkie.

Although judging from the entire battle situation, the second regiment is now completely at a disadvantage, but the soldiers' enthusiasm for fighting has not been affected in the slightest, not only the air defense battalion, but also the defensive units in the four pillboxes, and the defenders on the Lugou Bridge, they have all expressed their willingness to take the initiative to attack to Li Tieshu. Compared with the commander-in-chief, the low-ranking officers and soldiers did not need to understand the whole battle situation, they just wanted to fight heartily. As the highest commander in Wanping City, it is impossible for Li Tieshu not to consider the overall situation. From the bottom of his heart, he is actually quite eager to have a peak duel with the little devil, but reason tells him that going out to shoot at the little devil's plane at this time is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone and bringing humiliation on himself. Such sacrifices are simply unnecessary. It was under his strict orders that the officers strictly carried out his orders, allowing the Japanese aircraft to complete the combat mission very comfortably. As soon as the Japanese aircraft left, the Japanese infantry, who thought that the defenders' artillery had been completely destroyed, began to launch a fierce attack on the Lugou Bridge. Unlike last night, this time, the Japanese army did not surround Wanping and chose to break through from the Lugou Bridge. They got out of the way of Wanping's road to Beiping, and just blindly launched an attack from the direction of Lugou Bridge.

This time, Ono Kawaji underestimated the survivability of the artillery of the Cadet Army. He and the aviation probably didn't expect that what they destroyed on the defenders' artillery positions was actually just some camouflage cannons made of iron and wood. And the real artillery, long before the air raid siren sounded, was pulled into the bomb shelter by the artillery.

When the enemy plane was still in Li Tieshu's field of vision, he did not order the artillery in the bunker to come out. It was only for the infantry to block, so in the initial stage, because the Japanese redeployed a squadron of artillery units, the defenders fought passively under the attack of artillery fire. In order to play the role of a surprise soldier, in the two pillboxes on the left and right of Lugou Bridge, Wang Deshui and Gong Bihai and their men were nested in the air-raid shelter, they held guns in their arms, quietly listened to the sound of guns outside, and did not come out to block the attack at the first time.

In Wanping City, with the withdrawal of the Japanese plane, it gradually regained its vitality. Although gunfire began to sound outside the city, there was no threat from the sky, and many citizens walked out of the bomb shelters and began to return to their homes. The reserve units of the 2nd Regiment rushed to their positions, and the Self-Defense Forces, together with the ambulance team, either maintained order or rushed to the front line to treat the wounded.

Under the sanitation of a group of guards, Li Tieshu came to the front-line headquarters early. Behind him, followed by several journalists. If it weren't for the fact that Huang Fei, a reporter from Renqiu Daily, had participated in an air raid exercise and led them to find the air-raid shelter in time, they would have been interviewing King Yama at this time.

"Commander Li, your army is the vanguard of the anti-Japanese resistance, and has achieved good results in Wen'an and Tianjin victories, do you have any thoughts on this battle?" The question was asked by a reporter from a newspaper in Beiping, a woman who was good-looking, so she looked extremely confident. Long before coming over, her colleagues at Renqiu Daily kindly reminded her of some precautions for interviews, but now it seems that she has obviously forgotten.

Li Tieshu was lying on the lookout at this time, intently observing the enemy situation, and he didn't hear the beautiful reporter's questioning at all. After a few minutes, he turned around, lowered his binoculars, and then saw the reporters in civilian clothes, and his face changed. He looked at his guard Lai Qiang with horizontal eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" How did you get them in? ”

Lai Qiang glanced at the reporter from Renqiu Daily with some embarrassment, and then leaned into Li Tieshu's ear and said, "Military seat, they have a note from Sister Mei." ”

Sister Mei is Mei Lanshu. Speaking of a good story, this beautiful reporter who once had a crush on Ouyang Yun had a wonderful chemical reaction with Li Tieshu, and the two of them had reached the point of starting to talk about marriage at this time.

Hearing Mei Lanshu's note, a trace of softness flashed on Li Tieshu's originally stiff face, he thought for a while, and said to Lai Qiang: "That's not good, it's too dangerous here, you take them down quickly!" ”

Lai Qiang responded, and then said to the reporters: "I'm sorry, in order to ensure the safety of your lives, please come with me." Then, without waiting for a few reporters to raise objections, he directly pulled them out of the gang with a few fighters.
