"Hit!" With a burst of applause from the commander. The guns characteristic of the Weiqing-style and the sick-going guns hissed, and the defenders' guns finally roared as the Japanese landing force approached the riverbank. The bullets were so dense that the devils who were standing on the bow of the boat and preparing to wade ashore fell one by one, and many devils were planted in the rushing river water, and they were instantly taken away by the river flooding.

Qian Tai's right index finger kept pulling the trigger, and with every movement, one of the devils on the opposite boat would inevitably fall. The Japanese army is not good at night fighting, and this is not a lie. Qian Tai now personally experienced, the Japanese are indeed not good at night fighting, this kind of night landing warfare, the darkness is the best cover, however, the Japanese just fired a large number of flares, these flares illuminated the river bank transparently at the same time, but also let the little devil have nothing to hide, every gunshot almost a devil was knocked down, under the demonstration of Qian Tai and other company platoon commanders, the cadets responded calmly to the battle, giving the Japanese army a heavy blow.

"Don't stop, rush up!" Some of the devil officers screamed, knowing very well that in such a situation, cowardice would only increase the casualties of the troops, and on the contrary, their numerical superiority could only be exploited if they were glued to the defenders. At this moment, bushido is a luxury, and being able to clash with the defenders and entangle with them is king. The close defense ability of Wei Qing-style firearms is too strong, if it is a continuous firing state, if it goes down, you will fall a large area.

"Boom!" A column of water rose to the left of a fishing boat, and in the rain of shrapnel, a devil standing on the starboard side fell down with a scream. The defenders' mortars began to exert their might, a dozen, or even dozens of mortars fired in a salvo, the blow was covering, and Takada Sugio saw that the imperial army was loaded into the river from time to time around him, his teeth clenched, and he still maintained an upright posture.

The soldiers below did not know the specific situation, but as one of the middle-level officers, Takada knew that this battle was not optimistic for the 2nd Army. The defenders occupy the right place at the right time, and the attackers must pay a bloody price if they want to take a step forward. Since ancient times, the Yamato nation has never lacked warriors who have dedicated their lives for the survival and development of the entire nation, but there is a limit to this, after all, compared to 40,000 people, the population of the empire is still too small, 70 million, one-fifth only, if all the people awakened, then, the empire will never have a chance. Fortunately, the people of China have never been monolithic, so the empire was able to quickly occupy the three northeastern provinces with lightning speed, and then occupy North China and even East China. However, in the process, the Empire's decision-makers undoubtedly made a mistake of principle by not quickly occupying South China, which gave the Chinese the opportunity to draw support from overseas. Takata had no doubt that if the Scholar Army was allowed to develop, then sooner or later, the great cause of the Empire's Greater East Asia Co-prosperity would surely fall in the hands of this warlord army.

Ouyang Yun must be killed, and only by killing the spiritual leader of the Xuebing Army can the empire make a breakthrough in Central China and even South China.

No matter how lively the fight was in front, Takada did not pretend to be colorful. His eyes stared at the seemingly deep mountains and forests in the distance, and all he thought about in his heart was how to break through the encirclement and then kill Ouyang Yun, the great disaster of the empire.

Patches of devils fell on the banks of the Shengzhou and Chau Tau rivers, but more devils broke through the area, and they immediately relied on the huge craters caused by the previous shelling to build landing positions. Heavy machine-gun positions and mortar positions were assumed, and in stark contrast, the density of mortar fire and machine-gun blockades on the defending side decreased. Mortar shooters were blown to the ground, machine gunners were knocked out one after another, and although they were soon replaced by cadets, the gap created by this was irreparable - more devils rushed to the river beach, and then wave after wave of charges began.

Chan Tai couldn't remember how many devils he had killed. In fact, since the fierce battle, there are only a dozen or so of the more than 30 cadets around him who have finally gathered.

From the moment he killed the first devil, Chantai realized that something was wrong, they were too abrupt. Far away from the large army, although they firmly held the high ground by relying on the terrain, however, with the appearance of devils on the left and right, he soon felt powerless. The front and left and right directions need sufficient troops to defend, but there are only a dozen people, and only three or four people can be maintained on each side, and this kind of firepower density is no longer enough to completely suppress the offensive of the devils.

Xiaoqin finally escaped from Qian Tai's mind, and since a bullet flew over Qian Tai's left cheek, he forgot Xiao Qin's sad and bright face. One brother after another fell to the flying bullets, and his heart ached, and for a moment, tears even flowed out. "Tugen, wake up! Soil roots! He hissed, and then, the student soldier with the nickname Tugen never opened his eyes again, his hand still holding the Weiqing-style assault step tightly, and he never relaxed the slightest bit of fighting.

"Hit! Fight! Qian Tai suddenly hissed and shouted, and then half-crouched and raised the assault step in his hand, which he didn't know who it was, and pulled the trigger with all his might.

"Hit!" Beside him, the two cadets gritted their teeth and cried out in pain, also half-crouching and firing fiercely. A net of fire burst out, and the three devils jumped and fell, and then more devils rushed up. Suddenly, the two cadets trembled one after the other, and the next moment, they shouted and fell to the sky, until the moment they fell to the ground, the guns in their hands were still roaring towards the sky, but they were never able to stand up again.

A student soldier who suddenly stood upright suddenly trembled and fell down after knocking down a devil on the opposite side - watching him fall, white tassels left tears in his eyes - after wishful thinking and severing relations with Ouyang Yun, she already felt that her heart was dead, however, after witnessing the process of this student soldier dying in battle, she still shed tears.

"There is no one in the Cadet Army, if you are afraid of death, I can have someone send you back now!" In the face of everyone's stopping, Bai Tassel shouted, and then rushed to the front line with her two box cannons.

All the cadets were fighting intensely, and no one realized that their brigade commander had come to their side. When death came unexpectedly, no one flinched, they resolutely stepped forward, unaware that in the plan of the general headquarters, they were a group of cannon fodder - the longer they went down to the grassroots level, the more Bai Tassel realized the distance between themselves and Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun thinks about the problem and starts from the overall situation at all times, so it is inevitable that some troops will be counted as cannon fodder many times. Before this, Bai Tassel had no opinion - there would definitely be death in a war, it was just a question of who would die, or who would die first.

However, when it was her turn to learn the Seventh Brigade, she was irrepressibly angry.

But she forgot that the defense of Cotton Boat Island was originally in charge of the Eighth Brigade, and she took the initiative to ask for a replacement because she couldn't accept Ouyang Yun's special care. When she first arrived on Cotton Boat Island, she was lost. No matter how decisive she behaved on the surface, however, when she really left Ouyang Yun's side, her thoughts came spontaneously. Even, she began to think, or, between Chen Jiayao and him, is the former the initiative? This kind of thought made her very entangled and painful, because at this time, she actually thought of taking the initiative to apologize to Ouyang Yun - the little woman is still too simple, or, she is too poisonous in this era - she thinks about this matter from the perspective of a woman in this era, and naturally she has the tip of the horns.

It didn't take long for the little woman to fall into this tangled mood, because soon the stalemate phase of the Battle of Madang was over. When the Japanese army began to move frequently on the other side, because of her identity, she quickly realized the crisis that followed, and immediately entered the role.

At this moment, the strategic guiding ideology of the General Headquarters is already very clear. First deal with the Yangtze River Fleet to ensure the safety of the troops in the north of the Yangtze River, and only then consider how to inflict heavy losses on the 2nd Army.

If you want to solve the Yangtze River fleet, the key is to rely on the artillery forces, then, for a certain period of time, the defense of the fortress will have to rely on the play of ground forces. Of course, this kind of written language is more subtle, in fact, because the border with the Japanese army is only Cotton Boat Island, so this also means that for a long time, the 7th Brigade will have to rely on its own strength to withstand the Japanese ground attack. To put it mildly, the 7th Brigade will be abandoned by the General Headquarters for a considerable period of time, becoming the only obstacle to the Japanese attack on the fortress.

If Bai Tassel was still in the command, she would not have any objection to the command's decision. Proceeding from the overall situation, there is nothing wrong with this decision of the command. However, because she was the brigade commander of the Seventh Brigade, for the sake of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, it was impossible for her to maintain a position with Ouyang Yun.

This time, the Japanese army made a real move, not only because the artillery attack was unprecedentedly fierce, but also on the unprecedented scale of the landing force.

Knowing that it would be impossible for the Seventh Brigade to get artillery support from the headquarters within a certain period of time, Bai Tassel resolutely went to the front line. The battle by the river began, and she immediately took the rest of the 301st Regiment out of the dugout and rushed to the front.

"Brothers, follow me!" She said this, brandishing her shell gun and rushing to the front. , the brigade commanders are all on board, and the cadets naturally have nothing to say. Groups of cadets rushed out of the air-raid shelter with Weiqing-style assault steps and submachine guns, and soon entered the rudimentary defensive position.

When Qian Tai decided to stay behind, he already had the consciousness of dying in battle. Therefore, when she turned her head and saw the white tassel, she was surprised but completely moved.

The white tassel resolutely attacked, just to fulfill his duty as the commander of the Seventh Brigade. She didn't know what to say, her actions fell in the eyes of the cadets, but it meant something else - the commander-in-chief even sent his own woman, brothers, the commander-in-chief did not abandon us!
