Simon, Guo Da stood next to a collapsed house, staring motionlessly at the time in his hand. Beside him, Lu Zhengliang, the commander of the 103rd Regiment, stood solemnly with a loaded gun. In front of the two people, the officers and soldiers of the 103rd Regiment lined up along the street against the wall, quietly waiting for the order to attack.

The same is true of the East Gate and the North Gate, the defenders of Taierzhuang are fully prepared for a counterattack, and they are waiting for the time to counterattack.

Suddenly, Guo Da waved his right hand heavily and shouted in a low voice: "Attack!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhengliang responded loudly, ran forward more than ten meters quickly, and shouted: "Brothers, attack, attack!" ”

The brigade mortar battalion of the "empty, empty......" Xueyi Brigade began to exert its might, and dozens of mortar shells roared towards the position of the Seya detachment.

The "tick-tock" charge horn sounded, and Chen Xiaoer, the standard-bearer of the 103rd Regiment, unfurled the battle flag and rushed forward, and he shouted with all his might: "Rush! Behind him, the soldiers marched forward bravely - "da-da-da", a continuous burst of gunfire rang out from the firing position, and several heavy fire points of the Japanese army were suppressed.

Almost at the same time, the defenders of the 31st Army at the East Gate and the North Gate launched a counterattack at the same time. The battle of the four city gates began one after another, and the sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing resounded in the sky. One after another, the flares rose into the sky, and the surroundings of Taierzhuang were as bright as day. From time to time, stray bullets spilled into the darkness, streaking through shiny trails. The Taierzhuang battlefield, which was gradually calming, boiled again, and the difference from the first half of the night was that this time the attacking and defending sides fell one by one, the Japanese army that was originally attacking became the defending side, and the national army that was originally suppressed in the city of Taierzhuang became the attacking side.

The counterattack came so suddenly and violently, although the Japanese were taken by surprise by such a massive counterattack because of the increased vigilance of the previous shelling. More than 1,000 officers and men of the 103rd Regiment, under the leadership of regiment commander Lu Zhengliang, successfully broke through the first trench of the Japanese army, and the officers and men of both sides immediately launched hand-to-hand combat in the trench.

On the first line of defense of the West Gate defenders, Xia Yuncai, who had been lying behind the sandbag and staring at the battlefield tightly, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fighting style of the Seya detachment is really too scoundrel, blindly bombarding with artillery, which has caused a great attrition to the 101st Regiment, Xia Yuncai is even worried that if it continues to fight like this, the Xueyi Brigade is estimated to be able to hold out for a day at most, and then it will have to give up Ximen because of the exhaustion of troops.

Guo Da was standing less than fifty meters away from him, and he was anxiously looking forward to it. Xia Yuncai ran over and said, "Division, can Chief of Staff Guo get to the battlefield in time?" If it doesn't work, I'll take the 1st regiment up and rush it, so that Lao Lu can find an opportunity to pull the 3rd regiment back. ”

Guo Da glanced at him and said, "You just have to do your part, I have my own opinions." ”

Xia Yuncai let out an "oh" and ran back to his position.

Guo Da is nervous right now. Without him, compared to the Japanese army at the West Gate, the strength of the defenders is not superior, if Guo Muyi can't arrive at the battlefield on time, then the Seya detachment can attack the 103rd Regiment with all its strength without distraction, and the counterattack launched by the 103rd Regiment just now is very likely to transform into a sheep's mouth.

In the direction of the northwest gate, Li Pinxian was as nervous as Guo Da.

Adjutant Li Zhekai felt the commander's mood fluctuations, he was also nervous, and asked cautiously: "Commander, will the Cadet Army kill the Japanese army from behind on time?" ”

Li Pinxian's situation is even worse than Guo Da's. The 31st Army only had two divisions in Taierzhuang, and it was already very difficult to defend three gates at the same time. If the Cadet Army could not appear in the rear of the Japanese army on time, the consequences would be unimaginable - even if the troops engaged in the counteroffensive could retreat, the casualties would definitely be large. And once the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, the 31st Army, which has no reserve troops, will fall into a battle to the death. At that time, let alone holding Taierzhuang, even evacuation will be a problem.

Li Pinxian muttered silently in his heart: "Guo Muyi, Guo Muyi, you kid can't handle the situation, Lao Tzu is a soldier and Ma Ke, please leave it to you," I didn't hear Li Zhekai's words at all.

Erli nervously stared at the rear position of the Japanese army, and two minutes later, Li Zhekai suddenly jumped three feet high, and he excitedly pointed to the southeast direction and said: "Commander, look! The Cadet Army, the Cadet Army really hit the rear of the Japanese army! ”

Li Pinxian also saw it, he exhaled heavily, and then raised the telescope. In the light supported by a flare, he saw the body of a huge tank suddenly fall down, and then the muzzle of the gun erupted into a raging flame - a ball of fireball was immediately pushed away from the muzzle and flew straight over, he put down the binoculars, and his tense skin finally relaxed: Guo Muyi was killed as scheduled, and the four regiments he sent out did not need to worry about resisting more than 10,000 devils. As long as Guo Muyi can successfully divide the 5th Division into two pieces, then this battle will be won. Now, it was time to add fuel to the fire, and when he had made up his mind, he turned around. Behind him were the only two remaining regiments in Ximen and even in the entire northeast city of Taierzhuang. The head of the regiment, He Feng and Zhang Changtai, were standing there quietly, their heads held high, their eyes flashing with aggressive flames.

Li Zhekai was still a little worried, and he kindly reminded: "Commander, are you really going to do this?" ”

Li Pinxian waved his hand: "Bet!" Sortie! ”

"Yes!" He Feng and Zhang Changtai solemnly saluted him, and then turned around and ran to their respective teams.

"Brothers, attack!"

"Rush!" The soldiers clenched the steel guns in their hands, and Yuguan ran past Li Pinxian.

Li Pinxian climbed a section of the debris wall that had been blown down, and he shouted condescendingly: "Brothers, tear up the connection between the Seya detachment and the Anteng Division, defend it, defend it, you understand!" ”

First, several officers replied: "Understood! Fight to the death! Then there was the roar of thousands of officers and soldiers in unison: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! The roar shook the universe, resounded through the sky, and turned into a murderous aura. The officers and men of the mortar company not far away seemed to be affected by the cries and fired their guns more frequently.

Xue Feng exhaled heavily. After a long and rapid march, his ass was almost in two, and well, it was finally over - the enemy camp was close at hand, and the light of the battle from the battlefield a kilometer away made him even able to see the Japanese trucks five hundred meters away. The equipment of the Japanese army is more advanced than that of the national army, and no less than 500 taels of trucks are lined up in a boxy formation, and some of these trucks are still covered with tarpaulin, which is thought to be a baggage truck.

Xue Feng graduated from Yenching University, and his biggest wish was to one day stand in front of the blackboard and teach children knowledge. Stuart Redden is a competent principal and a man worthy of respect and trust. Although he is a foreigner, he sincerely wants to help China become strong. Xue Feng still remembers one of his words: The reason why China is poor is because of backwardness, and the reason why it is backward is because of the lack of popularization of education.

Xue Feng thought so. Xue Feng is the son of a small merchant in Beiping City, and if it weren't for Situ Leiden's exemption from his tuition, he wouldn't have been able to afford to study. From the standpoint of the Chinese, he has a more thorough understanding of the truth about why China is poor and backward. In the feudal dynasty, the children of commoners and poor families could not afford to read, and those who could read were the children of those big families, bureaucrats and rich families. Because education is not popularized, the country is ignorant and uncivilized, which has caused the poverty of the people and the backwardness of the country. The junior commander has a good saying: If you fall behind, you will be beaten. History is indeed like this, since 1840, how many invasions has the huge and backward China suffered, how many unequal treaties have been signed? How much wealth is left of the 5,000-year-old wealth of the Chinese nation?

This is a question that makes all the descendants of Yan and Huang feel ashamed and angry, and Xue Feng couldn't sleep at night for a while, not knowing where the road of tomorrow is for China.

Xue Feng joined the Cadet Army and was originally a teacher who applied for the job. Later, the Cadet Army formed a chariot unit, and it was necessary to recruit soldiers with certain cultural knowledge, and it happened that at that time, the Japanese army frequently provoked incidents in Jicha. Xue Feng was furious, and resolutely joined the Cadet Army and became an ordinary tank soldier. Xue Feng was knowledgeable and willing to study professionally, and soon became an excellent gunner. Then he followed He Zhengjiang to fight in the south and the north, and gradually accumulated merit and rose to the battalion commander of the chariot battalion.

Anyone who is familiar with it hates that straightforward way of fighting. Xue Feng was the same, when the battle order for the raid on the Japanese army came down, Xue Feng cheered and was full of confidence, thinking that this battle would definitely be victorious.

A subordinate asked him, "Yingzao, are you so sure you can win?" The little devils are several times more than us. ”

Xue Feng smiled and made a deep appearance: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, strange will win." If there is no main force of the Japanese army in the direction of Pixian, we will win this battle. ”

After Guo Muyi served as the supreme commander of the raid force, he heard Xue Feng's confident words from others by chance, and he did not hesitate to let Xue Feng's battalion serve as the sharp knife unit, and said to him: "Whether this raid operation can be successful depends on whether your sharp knife is sharp enough." Cutting in quickly and disrupting the enemy's chain of command, we won half the battle. Do you understand? ”

"Understand, sir, please rest assured, our battalion will live up to the name of the sharp sword!"

Those who have read the book are smart and a little cunning, Xue Feng grasped the words of Guo Muyi's words, and easily booked a title for his troops.

Guo Muyi was stunned at first, but then understood, he patted his chest and promised at that time that as long as Xue Feng could really play the role of a sharp knife in this battle, he would go to the army headquarters and give them the title of "sharp knife" to their battalion.

"Sharp knives! What a domineering name! Xue Feng thought so, shook his head violently, and ordered in a deep voice: "Ahead, enemy trucks, artillery!" ”

The crew members in this tank are all Xue Feng's old subordinates, and they are extremely familiar with each other's cooperation. He gave the order to exit, and the driver, Ma Guangyun, immediately released the accelerator, stepped on the brake and hung up neutral. The next moment, Zhang Jun, the school gunner, quickly shook the crank and adjusted the design angle. Then, he nodded, and the gunner Zhang Cheng immediately pressed the firing button.

"Empty!" With a muffled sound, the tank shook violently, and the muzzle of the gun spat out a meter-long flame. Seconds later, a Japanese truck was hit and exploded violently.

"Quicken, rush! Xiao Han, the machine gun is ready, remember, just hit the devil in front, and leave him alone on both wings-" After giving this new order in the car, Xue Feng put the microphone to his lips and pressed the send button to give an order to the chariots of the whole battalion: "All of them are here, just ahead, assault!" Pay attention to the priority of striking frontal enemies. ”

Seventy-six laser models increased the throttle almost at the same time, and the headlights suddenly became brighter, illuminating the surroundings. The infantrymen guarding the tank, under the guidance of the lights, screamed and rushed forward next to the tank, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front did not hesitate to pull the trigger because they found the target.

A devil who belonged to the logistics baggage unit of the 5th Division, who got out of the truck in a daze and peed, was stunned by the explosions just now, and the next moment he was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell down in a "breakdance".

The violent explosion woke up the devil baggage soldiers who were napping under and in the compartment, and a devil officer jumped out of the truck brandishing a pistol. He saw more than a hundred bright lights and hundreds of figures rushing wildly, and shouted in horror: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! He only had time to shout twice, and then he was engulfed in artillery fire, and he danced to meet Amaterasu.

Luckily, he was not in the middle of the convoy as he was directing the reserve troops to support the front-line positions, so he avoided immediate death. However, the chief of staff of the headquarters left behind Kaneda Mitsujun and a group of sub-junior staff officers were not so lucky, and the 19 tanks of Xue Feng's command post went on a rampage together and directly crashed into the square formed by the devil's convoy, and the machine gunners fired a salvo, and several tanks fired at the same time, sending all the more than 100 devils to hell.

Ji Zhenhai was facing the battlefield, and he keenly felt the changes in the rear of the Japanese position. When a series of explosions were heard in the rear of the Japanese position, and then a raging flame erupted, he immediately realized that his own raiding troops had attacked. He was overjoyed and waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the friendly army has launched an attack from behind the devils, and the little devils have been surrounded by us!" Kill! ”

"Kill!"

After the counterattack troops led by Chi Zhenhai unexpectedly occupied the first trench of the devil, they were immediately suppressed to death. Chi Zhenhai organized the troops to launch three charges in a row, and all of them were repulsed without exception, which made all the 31 officers and soldiers of the department red-eyed. At this time, they saw the hope of encircling and annihilating the devils, their morale soared, and they all rushed to the death regardless of it.

The defenders' charge, completely disregarding casualties, stunned Lieutenant General Antenliji, and he subconsciously said to himself: "The people of China are crazy, what do they want to do?" ”

Suddenly, a young man ran panting, and shouted from afar: "The branch man has killed from behind!" Your Excellency, the people of China have appeared in the rear of our army! ”

"What?" Antengliji blinked, and his heart, which was already a little apprehensive, suddenly turned cold.

Li Pinxian asked the mortar company at the northwest gate to fire grenades continuously, and although the ability to kill and injure devils was limited, the sound of explosions one after another played a role in confusing the public. Antenliji was so engrossed in the front-line battle that he really didn't hear the abnormality of his own formation, and when he looked back at this time, he saw the burning baggage convoy, and he only felt that his eyes were black, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Once Guo Muyi gave the order to attack, he no longer hid his troops. Seventy-six laser-type tanks and a brigade of infantry are not small, at least from the perspective of Antenliji, I only think that there is a large area of dense enemy troops, and I don't know how many people there are.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Shao Zuo held him up and shouted repeatedly.

"Eight grids!" Antenriji scolded hatefully and shouted: "Goto Yunosuke, quickly, lead your people to guard the rear." Keiyama Ichiro, hurry up and send a report to the commander of the Isoya Division and Kei Seya, asking them to reinforce immediately. ”

"Hello!" After Goto Yunosuke agreed, he shouted loudly and gathered his troops. Keiyama Ichiro looked embarrassed: "Your Excellency, our transmitters are all in the command headquarters......" He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear. The headquarters has been turned into a sea of fire, and this transmitter must have been destroyed.

"What?" Antenriji gasped for breath, his eyes widened and looked at Ichiro Keiyama, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then hurry up and run for help!" Eight grids, do you want me to teach this too? ”

"Hello."

"Your Excellency, did you let the Guoqi United give up the East Gate and the North Gate offensive and move closer to the Northwest Gate?" Shao Zuo, who came to call the police, asked tremblingly. Antenliji, who was in a state of rage, looked quite scary, which made him unconsciously feel concerned.

Antengliji looked at the flames of war burning not far away, and watched the laser-type tank directly break into the main formation with an overwhelming momentum, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "No, let them hold their positions, since the people of China can launch a counterattack in the direction of the northwest gate, they will also organize a counterattack at the east gate and the north gate." If they abandon their positions outside these two gates, then we are in danger of being encircled. Pass my order to let the soldiers shrink the defensive line, as long as they can hold until dawn, the tanks of the will be useless. Go, tell Suzuki Shoji and let him lead the chariot troops to meet him, if we want to resist the chariot rush of the Shina people, we need time to adjust the defensive order, so that he can buy at least half an hour for the main force. ”

"Hello!"

After the initial panic, the Japanese, organized by junior officers, launched a stubborn resistance. So far, there are more than 5,000 Japanese troops outside the northwest gate, and more than 2,000 of these more than 5,000 devils have been entangled in the front line by Li Pinxian's troops, and the rest have begun to move closer to Antengliji, using the time created by the chariot troops to meet the attack, rearranging the troops, and putting on a posture of stubborn defense.
