The deaths of Shun and Toshiyoshi Komatsu caused the surviving devils of the Komatsu Brigade and the Hashimoto Brigade to fall into complete panic. Although the officers repeatedly shouted that they could only survive by rushing forward, there were still many lonely devils who fled the battlefield by night. From the beginning to the present, only Masao Hashimoto has organized a decent counterattack among more than 2,000 devils. He started with more than 100 little devils, launched a counter-charge from the left, gathered the scattered devils along the road, and when he collided with the first brigade, he already had 300 people.

When the trumpet sounded, the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Brigades, who had already been working hard, rushed out like leopards. Liu Shurong, the commander of the 1st Brigade, shouted in his characteristic broken gong voice: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The meat has already been eaten by the guys of the 3rd Brigade and the artillery regiment, and if we don't hurry up, we won't even have soup to drink! ”

Flares rose into the sky one after another—and the gunmen's accuracy suffered. The shadow of the shadow of the building, so that there was an error in the judgment of the distance, the two sides began to fire guns when they were separated by three or four hundred meters - from time to time, the sound of a shell or grenade breaking through the air sounded, the sound of the "boom" explosion was wrapped in the sound of gunfire like a bean, and people fell down from time to time in the charging queue.

The distance between the two sides has been shortened, so that the tank regiment and the artillery regiment will not dare to fire at will. They don't need to open fire, more than 3,000 people fight more than 300 people, and they use automatic weapons, and bullets rain down, even if the distance affects the accuracy, it is enough to send these more than 300 devils to hell several times. Masao Hashimoto was still at the front at first, and when he rushed out of the ground for about fifty meters, he felt that something was wrong. Then, when a squadron leader earnestly begged him to retreat, he pretended to give in a few words, and then turned around and ran away, surrounded by several military policemen of the brigade headquarters.

As soon as the captain fled, the morale of the devils was seriously frustrated, but the squadron leader fooled people into trouble, and he brandished his command knife and shouted to the remaining hundred devils: "Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, it is time for us to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Then, he actually sang the Japanese military anthem: "This heart has run to the sea of the sea of Tsukushi." With this martial artist's body, if he can't return, even if he dies in battle, he will be a ghost to protect the country. He made a vow in Hakozaki and was summoned by the gods, and the soul of Yamato will remain in history forever......"

Many little devils chanted along, and in the face of Lang, the person rushing over from the First Brigade, they began to withdraw their bullets while singing.

"What are you singing on a dog day?" Some soldiers asked their comrades-in-arms.

"It's like a little devil's military song."

The 1st Division moved to the north and south, fought with the Japanese army many times, and was very familiar with its tactical tactics. As the oldest team in the cadet army, whether it is an officer or a soldier, the martial spirit is first-class, and many soldiers stop shooting and wait to meet the little devils. Xia Yuncai, the commander of the 101st Regiment, stayed in the original 29th Army Broadsword Team, and the most proud thing he usually boasted of was to chop off the head of a little devil with a big blade. He happened to be standing beside Liu Shurong at this time, and when he saw this, he leaned into the brigade's ear and said, "Brigade, let's have a white-knuckle battle with the little devil, right?" Good no good? ”

"Nerves!" Liu Shurong glanced at him, and shouted like a broken gong: "Brothers, open fire, fire and fire, hurry up and extinguish these dogs, and then we will attack Linyi." ”

More than 100 devils were stabbing with guns and singing songs towards the thick human wall of the first brigade, but they had an indomitable momentum. The devil squadron leader walked at the front, his hands clenched tightly in his command knife, and his face turned red from the hoarse singing. When the singing stopped, he hissed at Liu Shurong and shouted, "Officer Zhina, let's have a duel between samurai!" ”

Among the personnel directly under the brigade beside Liu Shurong, there was a staff officer named Liu Feng who understood this sentence because he happened to learn Japanese, and he said to Liu Shurong with a smile: "Brigade seat, that leading devil officer wants to fight you alone." ”

"Hah!" Liu Shurong laughed loudly, and then snatched the Wei Qing-style assault step from the hand of Zhang Deshan, the commander of the guard company next to him, and raised his hand to shoot. A gunshot rang out, and a ball of blood burst out on the devil's officer's forehead, and he fell down without warning. The brigade commander's gunfire made some guys with a big knife complex wake up immediately, and the big guys slammed the trigger one after another, and the guns covered the past like a storm, and those devils who had just become high morale because of the singing of military songs and were ready to die were like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Zhang Deshan and Xia Yuncai looked at Liu Shurong with white eyes, and suddenly had a feeling at the same time - their brigade leader is becoming more and more like the one sitting in Guangdong - this is too realistic, right?!

At 0:25, the two brothers Huang Haifu and Huang Hailu plus the mountain division led by Guo Muyi and Jiang Banjun completed the division. To Huang Haifu's regret, they did not meet the Japanese soldiers who came to the rescue. He talked to Guo Da on the phone and confirmed that the 1st Division had completely occupied the advantage and was clearing out the remaining enemy, so he decided to seize the time to attack Linyi.

Linyi, as the front station of the Japanese army's attack on Xuzhou, has hoarded a large number of military supplies, but there is only one detachment stationed here. The news that he was killed by Zhou Tai has been confirmed, which means that the Japanese army in Linyi City has lost its supreme commander. Considering that in this way, the Japanese army in Linyi City would definitely have a leaderless situation, Huang Haifu's intention to attack Linyi was a little more eager.

It was also the tank regiment that took the lead, and the mountain division slaughtered towards Linyi City with great momentum. The reconnaissance battalion of the mountain division was completely scattered by Huang Haifu, and within a radius of five kilometers in front of the tank regiment, two- and three-wheeled Great Wall brand military motorcycles roared back and forth, forming a vast early warning line.

In a Great Wall light armored vehicle that followed the tank regiment, Huang Haifu asked Guo Muyi: "Old Guo, Linyi Chengjian, do you have any good way to break the city?" ”

Guo Muyi said: "There is a lack of information provided by the fox pupil agents, only the situation of the enemy army, but not the situation of our people in the city. If there are only devils in the city, I have a good solution. Now, we have to use conventional tactics. ”

"The commander-in-chief sent us to Xuzhou this time to give our army a chance to fight. It's a pity that the terrain here is completely different from our usual training program—" Huang Haifu said with emotion.

Saying that the listener had no intention, Guo Muyi's eyes lit up and shouted, "There is!" ”

"Huh?"

Guo Muyi looked at Huang Haifu, her eyes were bright, even if the light in the car was insufficient, Huang Haifu still felt their agility. Guo Muyi took out the topographic map of Linyi City from her portable document bag, then spread it out and turned on the lights in the car. He pointed to the name marked on the map and said, "Division, please see, one of the Japanese barracks is at the north gate, and the other is located in the middle of the city to the south. Among them, next to the barracks in the middle is the material warehouse. Our goal is to kill and wound the enemy as much as possible and destroy its stockpiles, and we do not necessarily have to capture Linyi, so that we can take advantage of the long-range firepower of the tank regiment and the artillery regiment to solve the battle without bloodshed. My idea is this, let Xiao Liang take a few soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion to sneak in with walkie-talkies on their backs, and then he will command the artillery regiment and tank regiment to cover the devils. We don't know the specific arrangement of the devils now, we can bombard the warehouse first, and then lead the devils to take the initiative to attack, and then turn the muzzle of the gun to hit hard, supplemented by infantry attack, and definitely be able to kill and injure as many devils as possible at the minimum cost. ”

Huang Haifu listened, his eyes also lit up, he looked at the map carefully, and added: "The enemy situation in Linyi City is unknown, in order to cooperate with Xiao Liang's actions, let's choose a gate to feint." The little devil doesn't know the intentions of our army, and he definitely doesn't dare to let it go, in this way, Xiao Liang's coefficient of being discovered will inevitably be greatly reduced, and at the same time, we will have more opportunities to choose. Depending on the situation, you can choose to hit the devil first or bombard the warehouse. ”

"Okay, Master, then please give the order!"

It's nice to have a walkie-talkie, at least the transmission of orders is almost time-consuming. It is important to know that on the ever-changing battlefield, fighter planes often pass by.

The orders were conveyed, and Xiao Liang, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion who was on guard duty at the front, immediately found a few skilled ones, and then rushed to Linyi with a walkie-talkie on his back.

At this time, they were less than five kilometers away from Linyi.

At night, there was an effect of amplifying the sound, and although the place where the devils led by Xueyi Shi and Banshun fought was more than twenty-five kilometers away from Linyi, Aoki Seijiro still heard a clear gunfire while standing in the gatehouse of Linyi's west gate.

There were originally six brigades of more than 7,000 devils in Linyi City, which belonged to the Aoki Wing and the Okamura United, but because the brigade belonging to the Okamura Wing was pulled away by Aoki, the remaining four brigades in the city were all under the command of Aoki, so he had the ability to refuse to accept the order of Tuo Benshun and chose to stay in Linyi instead of going to the rescue.

The Japanese are inherently contradictory and like to go to extremes in their choice of everything. For example, in the attitude of a soldier towards his boss, even if he usually behaves deferentially and obediently, as long as he is against him, or thinks that he is right, then he will behave extremely rebellious, even if he knows that it is an egg hitting a stone, he will never look back. This is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese army, which is strict in administering the army, has repeatedly appeared first-line middle and low-level officers who dare to disobey the orders of the base camp and repeatedly provoke and intensify incidents.

Since Aoki Seijiro dared to disobey the order of the Trigger Benshun, he was already mentally prepared to go to the military court, when the large army of the Mountain Division appeared in his field of vision, the little devil not only did not feel panicked, but had a kind of dark psychology to be satisfied - he knew that the Trigger Shun was finished, and as long as he could hold Linyi, then not only was he not guilty but had merit, maybe the position of the Trigger Benshun would be his.

When Komatsu Toshiki received a telegram asking for help, Aoki had already gathered his team and prepared for battle. In order to prevent the people of China from making a fuss by taking advantage of the night and making a trick of attacking the east and west, he divided the four brigades into eight teams, each team guarded a city gate, and the rest surrounded the mountain artillery troops and acted as reserves.
