Zhang Chu stood on a dirt slope, holding a telescope, observing the battle situation on the front line.

Since Chief of Staff Song said that he would give up the opportunity to fight to others, of course he would not intervene. But looking at the situation on the battlefield, it is still necessary.

Fill in the gaps. Identify problems in a timely manner.

The Japanese are not soft persimmons. The battle is not going to be easy.

In fact, it is.

After the initial chaos, the Japanese gradually intensified their counterattack.

Bazooka is really powerful. However, the grenadiers of the Japanese invaders were not bad. The range of both is several hundred meters. It's possible to play against each other.

It must be admitted that the Japanese grenadiers played very well.

All are veterans. It was very accurate.

It's more accurate than a bazooka. Blow up one by one.

Sniper rifles could not stop it in time.

The Japanese invaders used grenadiers to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the effect was quite good.

That little thing, lighter than a bazooka. Hide behind the ruins and launch. Extremely difficult to spot. Hit and run. It was difficult for the Eighth Route Army to catch up with it.

However, a 50-mm grenade will definitely cause casualties.

Objectively speaking, death is not the most troublesome. Injuries are the easiest to attrition.

The wounded must be treated immediately.

One wounded, it takes two fighters to tow it back.

This will greatly reduce the offensive force.

However, the wounded cannot be saved without help. It can seriously affect morale.

The result......

When they reached the vicinity of the city wall, they were unable to attack again.

The regiment of Jiangbei Wei was like this. The same is true of Ni Dong's regiment. Other regiments are about the same.

It's the end of the crossbow.

Neither of the units had enough strength to continue the fighting.

What to do?

I had to withdraw and rest.

At the same time, more forces were mobilized from all sides in order to fight again.

Hiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yaga!"

"Order the rest of the wings to come back immediately!"

"Immediately!"

Kazuo Remi was very nervous.

Although, the dirt road is a temporary retreat. However, everyone knows that they will attack again soon.

Now, the surroundings of Lulong County are all dirt roads.

I don't know the exact number of people. But at any time the whole army will be wiped out.

If Tubalu is allowed to enter Lulong County, the headquarters of the 118th Division will be finished. He, the commander of the lieutenant general's division, was either a jade crush, or he became a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army.

No matter what the result is, it is impossible for him to accept.

Now, the only ones who can save him are the rest of the 118 division. It is absolutely impossible to count on other divisions.

In fact, near Lulong County, except for the 118th Division, there was no other main force of the Japanese army. Scattered garrisons or something, it's useless at all. Don't count on them.

"Yaga!"

"Order them to come back as fast as possible!"

"Yaga!"

Kazuo yelled hysterically.

The chief of staff did not dare to slack off. Hurriedly give the order.

All the stations are busy. Desperately urging other troops to come back for reinforcements.

The North China Front Command naturally also knew. However, they did not interfere.

Miyano didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

The Tuba Road in eastern Hebei actually rose overnight, and it actually had the combat effectiveness to besiege a division of the Japanese invaders.

It's just horrible.

That's a complete Japanese division!

It is still subordinate to the 118th Division of the Kwantung Army. The combat effectiveness is quite strong.

The Japanese troops stationed in Lulong County also had a wing, plus a garrison brigade. That's about 5,000 people! Tubalu actually dared to besiege the county seat, and even killed under the city wall?

There are some worries.

Will this Lulong County become a new ignition?

If the 118th Division can't hold on......

If Jidong is lost......

"Yaga!"

"It's impossible!"

"There will be no problems with the 118th Division! There will be no problem in Jidong! ”

"I think too much......

Miyano was full of excitement. Hurry to expel the terrible thoughts.

How can you be so pessimistic?

The Eighth Route Army has no precedent for eating a division of the Japanese invaders!

Even the 26th and 29th Divisions, which are surrounded at this moment, have not been eaten by the Eighth Route Army!

Not to mention the 118th Division!

Suddenly......

An inexplicable sadness swelled up.

But I thought of the 26th Division. There are also 29 divisions. These two divisions were besieged by Tubalu, and their lives were on the verge of death.

There is no rescue force left.

Taiyuan is too busy to take care of himself. No reinforcements were possible.

Although a large number of Japanese troops were sent to North China. However, at present, it can only be used to deal with the Eighth Road in the central Hebei region. There is simply no ability to go in other directions.

It is necessary to defeat the Eighth Route in the central Hebei region first.

But what if there is no way to defeat it?

Or what about protracted battles?

Datong, Taiyuan, Yuncheng......

I'm afraid that life in these places will become more and more difficult. In the end, it is like a dead vine that has been cut down, slowly drying up and dying.

Shake one’s head.

Don't dare to think about it.

At this point, we can only take one step at a time.

……

"Whoever it is!"

"As long as you can walk, you can gather in Lulong County!"

"That's right! The more comes, the better! ”

"Order the local comrades to mobilize as many soldiers as possible!"

"As long as you can carry a gun, you have to!"

Here, Chief of Staff Song is also a strong soldier and has mobilized a large number of personnel.

What is most lacking right now is people.

There are only 10,000 people, which is still too small.

Want to conquer Lulong County. At least 50,000 people are needed. If there were 100,000 better.

There is no shortage of weapons and ammunition. There is only a shortage of people.

The Japanese 118th Division is still very capable of fighting. After all, it is a long-term subordinate to the Kwantung Army battle sequence. Elite personnel, well-equipped, and difficult to deal with.

With the current combat level of the Eighth Route Army, it cannot be done without at least three times the strength of the army.

If it's four times, five times better.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a correspondent arrived in a hurry.

Chief of Staff Song did not raise his head.

"What's the matter?"

"Report! A large group of British people came out of Lulong County. There are more than fifty. It was expelled by the Japanese invaders. How to dispose of frontline requests. ”

"What? Briton? ”

Chief of Staff Song was a little stunned.

Are there still British people in Lulong County? And so much?

When I think about it, I feel relieved. There are a lot of Britons here. Because the Kailuan Coal Mine is nearby.

When the Japanese came, they forcibly entered the gang. The British were also not able to resist.

In Europe, the British had already been beaten by the Germans. The losses are very heavy.

But the Japanese did not dare to poison the British for the time being. The two sides have not yet finally torn their faces.

"What are they doing out there?"

"I don't know."

"Zhang Chu, go take a look!"

"Good!"

Zhang Chu did not refuse.

After all, it is a person from the next generation. I know a little bit of English.

Looking at the people around him, it is estimated that he is the only one who understands English. Professional counterpart.

So I came to the front.

found that in the open space in front of me, there were many Britons crawling,

Because the fighters at the front did not receive orders, they were not let over.

"Don't shoot!"

"Let them come!"

Zhang Chu ordered.

Only then did the fighters on the front line collect their guns and make way for a passage.

"Crawl here!"

"Crawl here!"

There were fighters shouting loudly.

The Englishmen slowly climbed forward.

Zhang Chu: ......

Don't use English?

Oh, there's definitely a translation in there.

Maybe there are foreign devils who speak Chinese very well. After all, I have been in China for many years.

It is said that the United States has a president named Hoover, who also served in the Kailuan coal mine for many years.

"Crawl here!"

"Crawl here!"

Under the guidance of the front-line fighters, the British crawled over one by one.

Zhang Chu watched quietly. Suddenly, I saw a Japanese soldier moving quietly from 300 meters away. Apparently trying to shoot cold.

Hemp eggs!

The Japanese want to set up a blame!

They wanted to wait for the British to enter the Eighth Route Army position and then shoot them.

In this way, the Eighth Route Army was suspected of killing the British. It could lead to diplomatic disputes. Not good for the Eighth Route Army.

Think beautifully.

Take out a Garand semi-automatic rifle.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Preemptive.

Two shots in a row were fired and two Japanese criminals were killed.

As soon as the gun rang out, the British panicked. One by one, they got up and rushed forward.

"Cover!"

"Cover!"

Front-line fighters opened fire one after another.

Zhang Chu calmly pulled the trigger. Kill the Japanese invaders one by one.

Want to blame the Eighth Route Army? Think beautifully!

Die!

Finish a magazine. Change the magazine immediately.

Shine again.

Changed ...... again

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

At this time, the rocket artillery roared.

Dense rockets rained down. Completely cover the Japanese positions.

If you want to say what kind of artillery covers the largest area, rocket artillery has to say that it is the second, and no artillery dares to recognize the first. A dozen rocket launchers fired a salvo, and hundreds of rockets fell in one breath.

That fierce!

The Japanese position was suddenly in flames!

Don't say it's a cold shot. It's good to be able to save your own life.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Zhang Chu concentrated on shooting cold shots.

Specializing in the artillery fire, looking for the devil who came to the fore. Make sure to kill with one shot.

If the devil is lucky and doesn't get killed by a rocket, it's too cheap for it. Hurry up and send a bullet and let it go to Anameasu.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

Four magazines were changed in a row.

Killed thirty Japanese criminals in one go. The gunfire gradually stopped.

The British also entered the trenches of the Eighth Route Army safely. One by one, they all obediently squatted under the trenches. It's very cooperative.

"Get up!"

"Cat walks forward!"

Zhang Chu shouted loudly in Chinese.

Since some people know Chinese, they are too lazy to speak English.

Sure enough, those British people could understand. Those who didn't understand were quickly reminded by their peers. Then move back along the trenches.

Finally came to the relatively safe rear. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Then they all looked at Zhang Chu.

"Kid ......"

An Englishman pretended to be affectionate.

In their eyes, Zhang Chu is indeed very young. There is nothing wrong with calling a child.

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Chu asked quietly.

The man took it. But we don't care.

The Eight-Nation Coalition of that year had their share. Later generations also had their share of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

During the War of Liberation, the British battleship Purple Quartz deliberately prevented the People's Liberation Army from crossing the river. Shelling from both sides. Considerable casualties were inflicted on the PLA.

This blood debt is impossible for the Chinese people to easily forget.

"We're going to Tianjin!"

"Tianjin."

"Yes!"

An Englishman replied.

He was the oldest. Presumably the heads of other Britons.

Zhang Chu nodded.

Going to Tianjin? Yes!

But......

Wait until the battle is over!
