Zhao Deming and Wu Yushu were very lucky, there were 1,153 people in the Geng Police Biao Regiment, and in the end, less than 50 people were rescued by the ** regiment, and they were two of them. At the cost of a regiment, Geng Police Biao exchanged for eight Quirrell, four bean chariots and more than 400 devils, which seemed to be worthless but was actually of great significance. Kai Seya lost the Quirrell tank, a sharp weapon, and was defeated by the counterattack of the 132nd Division, and his plan to quickly go down to the west gate and go straight to the south gate was disrupted.

"Fire, fire, raze Taierzhuang to the ground for me!" Annoyed and ashamed, Seya Kai ordered the artillery to shoot wildly, and in the rumbling and running, the sound of explosions resounded one after another through the third line of defense in front of the west gate. Zhao Dengyu saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately ordered the ** regiment to withdraw to the West Gate.

This round of shelling lasted about 40 minutes, and the third line of defense on the perimeter that the 132nd Division had painstakingly built was razed to the ground. As soon as the shelling ended, Akashiba Yaezo, who had been slapped by Kai Seya with two big ears, led the army to attack the west gate again. A large group of devils quickly pounced in a straggler formation under the command of Chichai Yaezo, and the atmosphere of slaughter enveloped the entire Ximen front.

"Prepare for battle!" "Brothers, cheer up, the little devil is here!" "I'm ready to kill the devil!" The shouts and cheers of officers at all levels of the ......** regiment came and went, and the soldiers got up from the artillery pit, shook the soil on their bodies, set up their guns, pulled the bolts, unscrewed the caps of the grenades and placed them neatly at hand, and prepared for battle.

The continuous shelling made the ** regiment lose half of the elite soldiers of the battalion before it started fighting with the little devils, which made the regiment commander ** itch his teeth with hatred, and looked at the shadowy figures in the darkness not far away, with a green light flashing in his eyes.

A few miles away, in the direction of the northwest gate, gunfire rang out. It was the 5th Division of the Japanese Army that was fighting fiercely with the 31st Army all night, and the afterglow from the flares that rose from time to time on the battlefield and the fires caused by the explosions illuminated the tall buildings near the West Gate from time to time, making the devils of the Seya Detachment and the officers and men of the 132nd Division feel even more nervous.

Wu Yushu carefully unscrewed the lid of a grenade and said softly, "Why doesn't the little devil fire a flare?" It's more comfortable to fight in the light than in the dark - the Japanese don't want to do a sneak attack, do they? ”

Zhao Deming chuckled: "What? Scared? ”

"Ghosts are afraid, I want to see it clearly, so that I know if I have helped the whole class to avenge my death."

Zhao Deming became serious: "Xiao Wu! ”

"Platoon commander?!"

"Don't always think about death, do you know the way? Taboo this on the battlefield! ”

"Ha, platoon commander, you are still superstitious!"

"Hit!" Zhao Deming obviously had his back to the battlefield, but when a flare suddenly rose above the battlefield, he suddenly burst into a shout, and then quickly turned around and threw a grenade.

The sudden light from the flare made Wu Yushu's eyes, who were accustomed to darkness, dazed for a while, and by the time he saw what was in front of him, the battle had already entered the white heat.

The special ammunition of the 132nd and 38th divisions was not lacking in flares due to the help of the cadet corps.

Kei Seya and Akashiba Yaezo didn't know this, they launched an attack in the dark just to bully the 132nd Division for not having a flare to catch the person off guard. They miscalculated again, and asked the guard platoon commander Huang Shan to prepare a flare early, just waiting for the devil to enter the best range. The flares were lifted into the air, and the devils who had already touched thirty or forty meters away from the west gate were completely exposed in front of nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers of the ** regiment. Dense gunfire immediately erupted like beans, followed by a series of grenade explosions. The sound of mortar shells tearing through the air followed suit, and the Japanese fell one by one.

"Attack, attack!" Chishiba Yaezo shouted loudly, raised the command knife in his hand and pointed directly at the West Gate.

** The regiment fired the first salvo, and more than 100 devils fell. The rest of the devils, aroused by the blood of their companions, screamed and pounced—the two sides were close to each other.

Zhao Dengyu watched all this silently and said: "The courage of ** is getting bigger and bigger, and it is actually put at such a close distance - what if it is broken through by the devil?" ”

Chief of Staff He Jifeng, Li Jintian and the brigade commander of the 4th Brigade, Xiao Peptide, stood quietly aside, Li Jintian said: "Don't worry, I won't do this if I am not absolutely sure." ”

There's a reason for that. The desperate counterattack of the Geng Police Biao Regiment gave him a revelation that fighting with the Japanese, close combat is sometimes more effective than shooting at each other. Thinking that the reason why the 29th Army was able to achieve the great victory at Xifengkou was because of the raid of the broadsword team at night, he made up his mind to replicate this miracle tonight - the devil of the Seya detachment did not wear an iron neck guard! Just right for beheading. **I believe that as long as you can behead more than 200 people in one battle, the little devil will not want to organize a decent attack tonight. You can keep attacking, but you have to touch your neck before that. The little devil is afraid of being beheaded, and I will cut you cold, so that your legs and stomachs will tremble when you see the big blade!

The little devil was put too close, a distance of thirty or forty meters, and rushed to it in a few seconds. ** Only had time to organize his subordinates to fire two rounds of salvos and throw two rounds of grenades, and some devils jumped onto the sandbags that had been blown up like dogs on the fortifications. ** Majestic and not chaotic, shouted: "Brothers, copy the guy!" Chop your head! He was the first to insert the pistol back into the holster and pulled out the broadsword on his back. The 57th Army and the Cadet Army are in some ways no different from other units in the country, and each of them carries a broadsword on their backs. A group of devils on the opposite side roared and jumped off the fortifications that were not more than a foot high, and the bright spear stabbed directly at the heart of **. ** glared left and right and roared, "Mine! The knife stabbed the spear off, and then retracted it, the white light and the blood light intersected, and the devil was cut off from his left shoulder, and the carotid artery and chest and abdomen were dissected at once.

"Kill!" ** With a burst of applause, he twisted his waist to let go of the corpse that the devil had fallen and jumped onto the fortifications.

His two personal guards glanced at each other helplessly, and followed left and right.

This is the only devil who chopped off tonight, and since then, his two guards have fired four shell guns left and right, not allowing a devil to be able to get close to him within ten meters, so angry that he roared again and again but was helpless.

Zhao Deming and Wu Yushu didn't have a corresponding ** call - they also wanted to chop off the devil's head happily, but their big knife had long been lost, and without the big knife, the two of them honestly stayed behind the dilapidated wall and put cold guns.

White-knuckle combat is the bloodiest. Although the broadsword tactics of the 29th Army are specialized in the assassination of devils, they are not invulnerable. Two thousand ** scuffles, often, you only cut down a devil with one sword, and there is an extra spear on your body. One flare after another was raised, and what the commanders of both sides saw through their telescopes was often the simultaneous fall of two fighters from both sides to the ground. Sometimes, some people pull the grenade on their bodies when they are dying, which directly leads to the collective martyrdom of the people around them.

The people in front were fighting with broadswords and bayonets, and those in the back were shooting with their guns raised. **The regiment is like this, and so are the devils, and occasionally there are people holding light machine guns and firing wildly, sweeping a large area.

The two sides fought a bloody battle for nearly half an hour, and finally the Japanese retreated quickly after leaving more than 300 corpses behind. ** Didn't dare to follow the pursuit, long before entering the engagement, Akashiba Yaezo absorbed the lessons of the previous and arranged a heavy machine gun firing point on each side. The rain of machine-gun bullets swept in, and ** had no choice but to return to the fortifications. The first thing he did when he returned to the fortifications was that he told everyone to hurry up and hide. **I've been dealing with the Japanese army for several years, and I'm familiar with the little devil's set, and I know that the next thing is definitely shelling.

Sure enough, the Japanese army withdrew from the battlefield, and the rumbling of artillery rang out.

As soon as the Japanese army withdrew, Zhao Deming returned to his pre-war state and continued to be leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep. Wu Yushu looked a little excited, just now he took the time to put the cold gun and actually killed six devils. "Platoon commander, I'm overchecked! I killed six devils, plus the first four, for a total of ten! He said excitedly, getting carried away.

Suddenly, Zhao Deming's ears pricked up, and the whole person rose into the air and pounced on him.

Wu Yushu was caught off guard and was pressed under him, and the sound of a sharp cannonball tearing the air came into his eardrums, and he immediately chose to remain motionless.

"Boom!" With a bang, the cannonball exploded less than two meters away from him, and the half of the wall that Zhao Deming was leaning on was knocked down, and the flying broken bricks and tiles hit him in the face.

Explosions rang out one after another, and from time to time there were screams in the continuous firelight. Wu Yushu's ears were buzzing and his mind was swollen from the sound of the explosion, and it took him five minutes to wake up. Feeling the heaviness on his body, a bad feeling rose in his heart, and he pushed Zhao Deming with his backhand: "Platoon commander, platoon commander!" ”

Zhao Deming remained motionless. He may have wanted to move, but dozens of shrennel tore his back and shaved off the back of his head, and he was dead.

Wu Yushu turned over vigorously and touched Zhao Deming with both hands, it was full of blood and sticky minced meat, and he cried loudly: "Platoon leader, platoon leader!" He knelt beside Zhao Deming's head, holding his face with both hands, trying to make him breathe again, but in vain. His tears poured down like a torrential rain, and after a few minutes, he suddenly raised his head and howled at the wolf: "Ahh

This round of shelling lasted only a quarter of an hour, but the blow to the ** regiment was no less than the previous round of saturation shelling that lasted for forty minutes. After this round of shelling, the number of people alive in the ** regiment dropped sharply, from less than 700 to 400, including as many as 100 wounded.

Witnessing the miserable scene on the front line and the huge sacrifices of his subordinates, Li Jintian couldn't hold back any longer, he asked Zhao Dengyu: "Military seat, what about the artillery of the First Division and the Mountain Division?" I've endured it for a long time, don't they also belong to our 57th Army? Why can't you see them go to war?! If the devils return fire after the first round of shelling, with the power of their artillery, they will definitely be able to destroy the artillery of the little devils. Then we wouldn't have suffered such big casualties! Throne, Throne! We are not afraid of death, but without artillery, this battle really cannot be fought! Could it be said that the lives of the officers and men of our Northwest Army are cheaper than those of the cadet soldiers? ”

The look on Zhao Dengyu's face was painful, and he persuaded Li Jintian to say, "Lao Li-"

Li Jintian glared at him and asked Zhao Dengyu: "Junzao, I also know that Commander Ouyang is kind to our army, and you and Commander Zhang are in the way, so it is not good to force Guo Da and Huang Haifu too much." But these two people have gone too far, if there is a cheap one, they will flash to the side when they encounter dirty work, if the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Xuzhou are like them, I don't think this battle should be fought-"

He also wanted to say that Zhao Dengyu finally had a seizure: "Enough! ”

His voice was full of emotion, and a sad expression appeared on Li Jintian's face. Zhao Dengyu originally reprimanded him fiercely, but saw his expression through the faint lantern light, and knew that he was also distressed that his subordinates had suffered too many casualties, sighed, and said in a different tone: "Lao Li, you are really suspicious." The reason why the artillery of the 1st and Mountain Divisions remained unmoved was Commander Li's idea. As you know, although we have hoarded heavy troops in Xuzhou, artillery is a weak point, and all the artillery combined is only the size of two brigades, including the two artillery regiments of the Cadet Army. What Commander Li meant was that the Battle of Taierzhuang had not yet reached the most critical juncture, and the main force of the Isogu Division and the 27th Division had not yet entered the battlefield. Therefore, in order to prevent the Japanese army from using the air force to prematurely destroy our artillery units, we can only choose to deliberately hide in the snow, in order to play a key role in the decisive battle in the near future. You questioned Guo Da and the Huang Haifu Department why they did not go to the battlefield, this matter is confidential, and I can't tell you the truth now. However, in two days at most, you will definitely see the figure of the student army on the battlefield of Taierzhuang. Lao Li, Commander Li's combat intentions, can't you see it? He's going to turn Taierzhuang into a meat grinder! Commander Li can't do this, who makes our country weak? We have been defeated again and again on the main battlefield, and even the capital has been captured by the little devils, and the situation is extremely critical! Everyone knows that we have always been at odds with Lao Jiang and the central government, but we have resolutely and resolutely invested in this defense war for what we want, because we all know that the country and the nation have reached a critical moment of life and death! At this moment, we can't afford to be distracted! The Japanese army's threat to destroy China in half a year is not alarmist. With the speed at which the Japanese army captured Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and North China, if we don't work hard, this boast of the Japanese army will really be realized. Therefore, even if Zhilu Dao Taierzhuang will become a meat grinder, we must invest in it without hesitation. For what? Because only in this way can we delay the pace of the Japanese army's attack, consume their vital strength, and buy as much time as possible for the rear to prepare for war. Lao Li, Geng Gongbiao is your subordinate and my subordinate, if you feel distressed, my heart will not hurt? I tell you, it was as if my heart was torn apart when I saw my brothers in front of me drenched in blood. But what can I do? I can only tell you, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you can only continue to climb. You go first, you don't fight, then I follow, I don't fight, the military seat will follow, even if the 132nd Division or the 57th Army are gone, I don't hesitate! ”
