Two hours later.

The Gui army occupied the forward position of Hujiazhuang and quickly built a defensive position according to the bunker fortifications left by the Japanese army.

The two regiments of the 173rd Division quickly rushed in through the torn crack to expand the gains made this evening.

They had to hurry up, keep pushing forward, and then attack from the center in all directions.

It's easy to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's quite difficult.

Just hitting the forward positions of the Japanese army, paying such a huge price, it is almost impossible to break into it and complete the feat of breaking through in the center.

At this time, the generals of the Gui army did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, was very happy to learn that the 173rd Division had broken through the forward position of the Japanese army in just over two hours, and immediately sent a telegram to Bai Chongxi.

"Okay, two hours have broken through the forward position of the Japanese army, so the remaining time is enough to complete the central breakthrough and tear the entire division of the Japanese army to pieces in one fell swoop! Inform the artillery, artillery bombardment of the central positions of the Japanese army! ”

"Yes!"

The 173rd Division broke through the forward position of the Japanese army, and the situation was very good, Bai Chongxi looked at the combat map with a smile on his face.

Command of the 21st Army.

Liao Lei took his hands, listened to the sound of artillery from the front line, and said: "The god of war is worthy of being the god of war, the combat capability of the 173rd Division is far inferior to that of several other divisions, but it was the first to break through the Japanese defense line, I don't believe that the 173rd Division can break through the Japanese defense line before several other divisions, there is no doubt that this is the credit of the god of war." ”

Several other civilian officers at the division headquarters, as well as adjutants, were quite puzzled by this.

One of them said: "Commander, this war is not a matter of one person, although the 173rd Division is not as good as several other divisions, but no one can say for sure about this war, the first few battles were not good, and it may be better today." ”

Someone next to him echoed: "Yes, although this god of war is powerful, but on the battlefield, it is just a little more powerful in combat, in the face of the Japanese army's guns, no matter how powerful the combat ability is, it is also an ordinary person, one shot hits the vital point, he will die, it may not really be that he rushed in with the 173rd Division." ”

Although the others did not speak, the expressions on their faces carried trust in their words.

They are all people who have fought several battles and know the cruelty of war.

No matter how hard a person fights a war, it is useless, after all, this is a war with six divisions and more than 50,000 troops, and it is difficult for one person to play a role.

It's not that they don't believe in the combat capabilities of the god of war, but the facts are in front of them, no matter how strong the combat capability is, can it be stronger than the light and heavy machine guns, tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese devils? Blowing up a Japanese tank requires a huge price, especially in this kind of battle of several divisions, and the casualties are immeasurable.

Therefore, they believe that this is the extraordinary performance of the officers and men of the 173rd Division.

However, only ten minutes after they finished speaking, the communications corps came from the front with even more exciting news.

"Xia Zhanshen single-handedly defeated the Japanese devil command and killed one Dazuo, two Zhongzuo, two Shaozuo, and several captains."

As soon as the news came out, the entire command fell into a dead silence.

Liao Lei stepped forward, quickly took the document in the other party's hand, and read it carefully, his eyes shining brightly: "Two days. No, it won't take two days, tomorrow, this news will shock the whole of China, the supreme commander of the Japanese army killed by us in the Songhu battlefield. ”

Dazuo's military rank is Wing Commander, and Wing Commander is equivalent to their regimental commander.

How difficult it is for the Japanese devils to deal with, and the troops who participated in the Battle of Songhu are quite clear, and it is even more difficult to capture their headquarters.

After almost two months of fighting, so many exhibiting troops, none of them hit the Japanese devil headquarters, and now, their troops tore apart the forward positions of the Japanese devils, Xia Yuan even smashed the Japanese army headquarters, eliminated so many generals, and it is estimated that it will be in the newspaper again tomorrow.

Liao Lei was happy: "Look, look, what do I say, this god of war is powerful, as far as I know, he can use a rifle to knock out the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devil, in this world, who can use a rifle to knock out the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devil." ”

Everyone looked at each other.

They really haven't seen a soldier who uses a rifle to knock out the fire point of the Japanese devil's machine gun, maybe even if there is, most of them shoot indiscriminately, and there are many blind cats who meet dead rats, but there are very few who can really do a hundred shots.

Liao Lei believes that the god of war can do a hundred shots, after all, he has been in the newspapers, his deeds have been widely circulated, and many warlords from all walks of life have spread rumors that they have accepted the god of war under their command, and there is absolutely no need to worry about fighting.

Even Commander Chen was full of praise for Xia Yuan, which shows that the other party has real skills.

At this time.

The 173rd Division occupied the forward position of the Japanese army and was rushing to the rear position of the Japanese army.

After a new round of bombardment by the artillery of the Nationalist Army, most of the rear positions of the Japanese army turned into ruins, and many Japanese soldiers died under this round of bombardment, and the positions became fragmented.

Hujiazhuang, with the ruins as a cover, the attack on the 173rd Division was relatively much better, the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese devils were restricted, and many soldiers of the national army hid in the dark, hiding among the ruins, cautiously approaching the Japanese position.

Subsequently, after the artillery bombardment of the national army ended, thousands of people rushed to the Japanese positions in the vast darkness.

There was only one wing of the Japanese army, which was more than 1,000 people, and a division of the national army had more than 5,000 people.

However, the Japanese army did not expect that their forward positions would be broken through so quickly.

The second line of defense in the rear relied on the ruins as a position, and after the tragic battle on the plains, there were again brutal street battles.

At any time, soldiers on both sides will meet in narrow alleys, ruins.

Close combat is much more brutal than long-range shooting, and the pungent smell of blood wafts over the ruins with the smoke of gunpowder.

"Keep up, when you encounter Japanese devils, don't rush up alone, in a group, there are not as many Japanese devils as we are."

In the darkness of the night, amid the sound of gunfire, a group of people quickly approached the Japanese position, they emerged from the ruins of their houses and made a rapid advance along the broken streets.

Caught off guard, he encountered another Japanese detachment, but because it was too dark, the two sides met each other, thinking it was their own.

As soon as the artillery fire flashed, a soldier of the national army glared and found that the clothes of the unit were different from theirs, and the helmets were all wearing grids, and shouted: "Japanese devils!" ”

This sound directly woke up the two sides.

"Only that man!"

"Japs."

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

The Japanese soldiers reacted the fastest, raising their guns to aim, pulling the trigger, and fighting at short distances, depending on who drew their guns faster.

Bang.

The gun went off.

The soldiers of the national army also pulled out their guns, pulled the trigger, the bullets on both sides intertwined, shot face to face, both sides suffered casualties, and then quickly drilled into the ruins on one side, and then engaged in a fierce bloody battle in the ruins several meters long, and only those who survived could live.

As a large number of national soldiers advanced, the war became more and more brutal.

In every section of the alley, the street has Japanese machine gun fire, or rifle watching, the national army's advance speed is quite slow, often one section of the next alley, a lot of people have to be sacrificed.

At this time, in the east of Hujiazhuang, a company led by Xia Yuan took the lead in breaking through the Japanese Hujiazhuang defense line.

The bunker fortifications and machine gun fire built by the Japanese army, in such a close battle, could not withstand Xia Yuan's round of grenade bombardment, the company commander of this company is also a smart person, after seeing Xia Yuan's powerful combat ability, he immediately ordered the soldiers to collect all the grenades on their bodies, carried by three soldiers, and followed behind Xia Yuan.

In addition, other soldiers were ordered to give priority to the grenades on the Japanese soldiers when they encountered the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

In this way, under the grenade opening the way, encountering the Japanese machine-gun fire point, it was completely unable to resist the attack of this company, Xia Yuan opened the way with the grenade, and after blowing up the Japanese machine-gun fire point, the company commander of this company immediately ordered the soldiers to rush up and capture the position of the Japanese devils.

Such a smart decision, even Xia Yuan was full of praise for it, so it was much easier for them to tackle tough problems.

Relying on Xia Yuan's humanoid mortar, they advanced all the way, from the south of Hujiazhuang all the way to the north of Hujiazhuang, and were the fastest to break through the Japanese position among all the offensive companies of the 173rd Division.

Subsequently, the company commander of this company ordered the signal corps to transmit the situation here to the rear, and the other companies that received the news quickly drilled into the rear position of the Japanese devils from the hole torn by Xia Yuan.

Originally, for them, this would be a battle for a cool position.

The two sides had to fight here for at least half a day, but they never thought that after only an hour of tearing apart the forward positions of the Japanese army, they were transferred down from above, and in the newspapers, the person known as the god of war took a company of troops to tear open the rear positions of the Japanese devils and plunged them into it like a sharp knife.

This kind of terrifying combat capability shocked not only the company commanders who participated in the battle, but also the battalion commanders and regiment commanders who followed.

As this opening was torn open, more and more companies drilled into it, and the south and east of Hujiazhuang were all captured by the national army, leaving only the west and north still belonging to the Japanese position.

But everyone knows that as long as the two openings are torn apart, the time when Hujiazhuang will be beaten down by them will not be far from them.

Commander He of the 173rd Division sighed: "With this general, why worry about victory." ”

According to the information from other attacking units, they were still struggling to attack the forward positions of the Japanese army, but they were all blocked by the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and suffered heavy casualties.

On the other hand, the 173rd Division tore apart the forward positions of the Japanese army in two hours and occupied the two directions southeast of Hujiazhuang in one hour, which was not far from Hujiazhuang, which was the result of defeating the Japanese devils.

"Go, inform the combat troops on the front line that Xia Yuan is the center of the battle and attack the Japanese army's firepower point, and there must be no miss."

"Yes!"

Everyone knows that this god of war is not a paper tiger, but a golden tiger, which is not only attractive, but also very useful.

The general offensive was launched at nine o'clock, and it had been fought for more than three hours, and the time was approaching early in the morning, after the eastern front of Hujiazhuang was torn apart by the 173rd Division, the operation became a containment from the south and a flank attack from the east.

Xia Yuan took the unknown company and still rushed to the front of the team.

Behind this company, follow four companies to clean up the mess.

At this moment, the combat plan of a regiment under the 173rd Division has changed, Xia Yuan led a company into the Japanese position like a sharp knife, and several companies fighting together in the rear quickly cleaned up the mess, and the hole poked out by this sharp knife became bigger and bigger, and this kind of operation was much more efficient than before.

It is precisely in this way that everyone realizes the horror of the god of war.

With the God of War following the eight companies, it has become an ace company, and its combat ability has soared.

On the other hand, the few companies that followed in the rear were far from having such an effect, even if the Eighth Company had already torn a hole, it was still not easy for these companies to expand the opening.

"Special code, looking at how easy it is to fight eight times, it won't take long for it to go in, it's our turn to fight, this little Japanese devil is like going crazy, as hard to gnaw as a special code stone."

It had been half an hour since the Eighth Company had been fighting, and they had been fighting from the opening of the Eighth Company to both sides, and they had been fighting for more than half an hour before they had advanced a street, and the speed and efficiency were too slow, on the other hand, the Eighth Company could not see their figures at all, and could only hear the sound of fierce fighting from the front.

It can be seen that the Eighth Company is still moving forward.

"You're a few companies."

After fighting for three hours in a row, Xia Yuan's spirit was highly concentrated, and it was a huge consumption of physical strength and spirit, after taking down a machine gun bunker of the Japanese devils, Xia Yuan rushed in with people, and after seizing two 92-type and three crooked handles, he finally had a gap to take a breath.

He sat down on the ground, used his bayonet to open the box containing cans from the Japanese devils, took out three cans, and threw them to the three soldiers who followed him.

From the beginning of the fight to the present, these three people have changed two batches.

Following him does not mean that he is absolutely safe, but it is quite dangerous, in order to be able to reach the maximum throwing range, he always has to rush to the front, approach, and then throw grenades, and the three people who followed him also suffered casualties.

Xia Yuan could let the soldiers of this company attract the firepower of the Japanese devils, and he quietly approached and threw grenades.

But in that case, the casualties of this company would be very large.

This is a small casualty to reduce the big casualty.

The danger is more dangerous, but it's nothing.

It's much better than letting the entire company go on an adventure, this company has only more than 100 people, and until now, there are still more than 70 people left, and if you change the previous way of attacking, it is estimated that even the surviving 70 people will not be able to fight here.

It was already quite close to the center of the Japanese army, and these seventy-odd people began to set up defenses around, staring at the Japanese devils.

They seized a large number of Japanese devil equipment, and after replacing the weapons and equipment of the Japanese devils, their combat effectiveness also soared, especially the capture of light and heavy machine guns, many of the grenades thrown by Xia Yuan were airburst mines, and the shrapnel did not enter the bodies of the Japanese devils, and there were very few broken machine guns, so it could almost be seen that there were at least two crooked handles of Japanese devils in their squad.

The bigger it is, the fatter it gets.

Xia Yuan opened the can, found two wooden sticks on the ground, lifted the inner layer of his clothes, rubbed the wooden sticks, and after feeling a lot cleaner, he picked up the food in the can and stuffed it into his mouth.

"We're the Eighth Company."

"Eight companies, okay, it's a good fight."

"You are too powerful, our company commander said that we have never seen such a powerful soldier as you."

"Humble." Xia Yuan ate the sea and ate it, his mouth was stuffed with food, his mouth puffed out, and said, "You eat quickly, recover your strength, you're welcome, there are a lot of canned food here." ”

As he spoke, he patted the wooden box under his buttocks.

In addition to cans, there are ammunition and grenades, and there are quite a few of them.

The three of them listened, opened the can, found two wooden sticks of different lengths on the spot, and began to eat.

Bang bang.

The sound of gunfire outside startled the three of them to raise their heads and grab their guns.

"Don't worry, the Japanese devils' counterattack, let your people stand up to it first, the Japanese devils can't get in."

Xia Yuan was not surprised, he brought the Eighth Company all the way in, and it was strange if the Japanese devils could not fight back against them.

After fighting for so long, although a lot of people died in the Eighth Company, the remaining soldiers were all rich, and they got a lot of bullets, grenades, and rifles on their bodies, as well as crooked handles, 92 style, and it was not easy for the Japanese devils to beat them.

What's more, it is a good thing for the Japanese devils to fight them, originally the southeast and southeast directions were under fierce attack by the 173rd Division, and they also had to draw troops to look at the abdomen, so that the Japanese devils had fewer and fewer troops for front-line operations.

After listening to Xia Yuan's words, the three of them felt a lot more relieved, and what the God of War said was accurate.

The commander of the eighth company knew that the god of war was resting, and led people to resist the attacks of Japanese devils in all directions, their firepower was already different from what it used to be, and there were only two or three Czechs in the company before, but now there are not only Czechs, but also crooked handles, Type 92, and Type 92 heavy machine guns have four, and there must be two crooked handles in each squad, and one squad looks in one direction, which is enough.

The Japanese devils can't get in.

They want to buy some time to let the god of war rest and rest. After all, this way in, completely relying on the god of war alone, bombing the Japanese firepower points, infantry, with his help, the Japanese devils in front of them were blown up by grenades, unable to stop the effective firepower, the eighth company rushed like this, and broke through the Japanese defenses.

Not only that, the eyesight of the god of war is quite powerful at night, and some of the dark whistles of the Japanese devils, they didn't find it, and the god of war found out, one by one.

Not only is the bomb throwing ability terrible, but even the marksmanship is quite powerful.

After all, it was in the newspaper, and was called the god of war, the god of killing, as far as they know, the Japanese devils that the god of war killed along the way had to have a wing, only in Luodian, he led the night raid team known as the 'ghost', and eliminated a large number of Japanese devils.

Later, he was Zhao'an by the 51st Division, entered Luodian to participate in the battle, and then eliminated a large number of Japanese devils.

Even the commander-in-chief was full of praise for his combat ability.

This is unprecedented in the entire history of operations.

Xia Yuan wiped the oil and water on his mouth, watched the three of them chew heavily, and smiled: "Is it enough, not enough is there here, there are more." ”

"Sir, let's just eat one, it's important to fight Japanese devils."

A soldier with a black face, who looked very young, carried two guns behind him, one was brought out when he left the province, and the other was picked up from the Japanese devil, and there was a box of grenades under his buttocks, which was carried from the Japanese devil's position.

The other two also had a box of grenades under their butts.

"Okay." Xia Yuan opened a box of canned food again and looked at it: "Yo, canned beef, yes, I like the taste of beef, the taste of beef of Japanese devils is still okay, when we were fighting in the past, we all chewed grass roots, and sometimes, we couldn't eat a bite of food for three or five days." ”

After fighting to resist US aggression and aid Korea, from the 7th Interspersed Company, there was a shortage of food.

All the way to the present, the logistics and supplies have not kept up, and food has always been a problem for them.

Only once in Ganling, there was enough food, but no one could eat it, there was a lack of water, and the tunnels were full of compressed biscuits, and they couldn't eat a little, and the foam of the biscuits could pierce people's mouths and bleed.

The No. 1 pit that Xia Yuan was staying in was okay, and he had been trying to solve the water source problem during the time he entered Shangganling, even if the final amount of water was relatively small, but it was better than nothing, and the No. 1 pit was also the best pit in all the pit conditions, and the other pit had to use blood to moisten his lips and throat because of the lack of water.

Therefore, how happy it is to be able to eat canned food freely.

Of course, this is all he called back little by little.

"You have to hit the station, and only by hitting the station can you quickly get fat."

Whether it was on the Korean battlefield or on the domestic anti-Japanese battlefield, Xia Yuan always kept one thought in his heart, he wanted supplies, and there were many enemy garrisons.

If it weren't for the fact that this time he crossed a tall man of more than 1.8 meters, most of the Japanese devils were 1.5 meters or 1.6 meters tall, and even Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Central China Army of the Japanese Army, was only 1.39 meters tall, or he would have touched the position of the Japanese devils and made more supplies.

After eating a can, he grabbed a handful of soil, washed it as if it were water, rubbed the oil on his hands clean, grabbed a handful of grass in the corner of the wall and rubbed it, and shouted with a gun: "Go, beat them." ”

The Eighth Company was besieged by the strength of a squadron of the Japanese army, and it was able to maintain a well-maintained formation even though it was attacked on both sides and the command was killed, but the American army could not do it, and the Japanese army was able to do it entirely because the Japanese army was militaristic, and their command system penetrated deep into each group.

The three-three system tactics have the shadow of Japanese devils, and if the company commander is sacrificed, the deputy company commander can command, the deputy company commander sacrifices the platoon commander and squad leader to command, and the squad leader of the combat unit can also command. When attacking, all kinds of slogans, positions, sequences, and signals are quite tight, big signals, small signals, medium signals, and the lines are not chaotic.

On the battlefield, the sound of guns and cannons is constant, and some can deafen their ears, and they can only be seen on TV when they listen to others shouting and transmitting orders from a long distance.

When it came to the battlefield, they all relied on gestures to attack.
