"Your Excellency Matsushima, your decision is simply the greatest. This group of Dragon Country pigs would never have thought that the first time we fought with them was just a sound attack. ”

"Hahaha, Oshima-kun praised it. Who would have thought that the Chinese would one day be defeated by the culture left by their ancestors. ”

Opposite the poplar forest, 5 miles away.

In the combat headquarters of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Army——

Matsushima Kaede, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army's poplar forest defense line and the captain of the first wing, was drinking coffee.

Hearing the praise of his colleagues, although he was modest, his face was full of irrepressible pride.

"Your Excellency Matsushima, can you tell me how you know the specific coordinates of the Dragon Country Pig Artillery Position?"

"I'm sorry Oshima-kun, it's a secret, so let's assume that His Majesty the Emperor is protecting you and me."

Matsushima Kaede looked at the sand table in front of him, reached out and pulled up the small flag with the Japanese flag from their current position, and inserted it into the position of the coordinate poplar forest.

"According to intelligence, our opponent is the new regiment of the 129th Brigade under the 386th Division of the Eighth Road. According to intelligence, at the time of the retreat to the poplar forest, the strength of the new regiment was less than two hundred. ”

"After these rounds of fighting, it is estimated that there will be one more battle, and we will be able to set foot on this land."

Oshima excitedly said, "Hahaha, that's great! If you do it against the Great Japanese Empire, it's all dead, it's all dead! ”

Inside the Poplar Trench –

Ding Wei, who was originally in command in the back, also picked up an AK and went to the front line.

"Captain! There are less than eighty of our brothers left to fight! ”

On Ding Wei's side, the battle situation was very tragic, and during the time when Yang Ming and others went to the artillery company position, they had already repelled four Japanese attacks.

If it weren't for the sophisticated weapons that Yang Ming had equipped, I am afraid that there would be more casualties now, or even the entire army.

But even so, after several rounds of fighting, the fighters were a little overwhelmed.

This group of small Japan is like dying, the troops in front fall, and the rear continue to make up, and each charge will be followed by a wave of death squads.

"What about Yang Ming's side, why don't you have artillery support yet?" Ding Wei's expression was solemn, and sorrow lingered in his heart.

If the war continues like this, the war situation will not be optimistic, and it will be a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated.

Is he going to fold here today?

The political commissar beside him proposed: "Regiment commander, why don't you send someone over to take a look?" Something was wrong with the artillery battery. ”

"Okay, here'......"

Ding Wei felt right, and he was also a little worried about the situation over there.

However, before the words fell, a sudden rumbling cannon sound was heard from the southwest direction of the poplar forest, and several cannons were fired together, and the sound was deafening, like a roaring beast.

Then it burst out of the air like rain, and roared towards the Japanese army who had launched another attack.

Ding Wei was overjoyed when he saw this, "Great! This stinky boy came at a better time! ”

One after another, the shells fell densely on the Japanese positions, and the life of the reaper invaders was like a reaper.

Some fell on the side of the charging Japanese troops, some on machine gun points, and some directly near the wing headquarters.

"What's going on?! Eight Ga Ya Road! ”

Matsushima Kaede was smashed in the face by the ash falling from the top, and he scolded angrily.

"Report to the Wing Commander, the Eighth Road on the opposite side is firing at our position."

"Nani?"

"Didn't that group of rubbish sneak attack succeed?" Matsushima Kaede's incredulous interval immediately thought of a possibility, and he was angry, "Cunning Eight Roads! Dead, dead, drip! ”

He was very unhappy when he saw that the faces of the report's subordinates were a little wrong. "Just a few dragon pigs scared you like this, it's really embarrassing to be a soldier of the Imperial Japan,"

"Joint ...... Your Excellency, Wing Commander, let's retreat quickly, the shells of the Eighth Route have already hit us. Their shells were as if they were running out, and they hadn't stopped firing since they started firing just now. ”

"The subordinates looked at the amount of shells fired, and it should be dozens of cannons fired at the same time alternately."

What they didn't know was that if it weren't for the reloading time of the shells, Yang Ming would definitely let all the cannons be fired together, which would be enjoyable.

"What?! When did this group of dirt roads have such abundant equipment support? Matsushima Kaede couldn't believe it, but the continuous sound of cannons in his ears also reminded him that what his subordinates said was true.

Oshima persuaded: "Matsushima-kun, otherwise, let the soldiers withdraw first, rest and recuperate for a while, and then fight." If we continue to fight like this, the casualties will be too great. ”

In fact, he listened to the continuous sound of artillery in his ears, and his heart was shocked, and he deeply doubted whether the information given by the secret services was accurate.

Matsushima Kaede was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, it was really embarrassing, just now he was leisurely drinking coffee and waiting for the good news to come back from the front.

The next second was blown up, and the command headquarters was almost gone. However, he also knew that Oshima was right, so he had to give the order.

At the same time, I was thinking about what to do next.

The commander of the North China Front, Nishinomiya Motoji, gave a death order to take the Yangshulin side at all costs, and if he failed, he had to apologize to the emperor for his disembowelment.

"Matsushima-kun, we must fight quickly, the weapons and equipment on the side of the Eighth Road are excellent, and the third wing of the field nosuke was almost wiped out before, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past."

"Oshima-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing this, Matsushima Kaede hurriedly asked, Oshima has always been resourceful, and he should have an idea when he looks like him.

"This ...... The wilderness has just been stabbed by the cunning Dragon Pig, saying that he used inhumane biological and chemical weapons. ”

After listening to Oshima's idea, Matsushima Kaede hesitated a little.

Burning ......

Indeed, the poplar grove is numerous, making it ideal for setting fires. But once he is stabbed to the international level like the nosuke of the wilderness, it means that his future path to advancement will also be broken.

"Your Excellency, as long as you win, I believe that Your Excellency Xigong will definitely understand the extraordinary means we use in this extraordinary period."

Similarly, if it weren't for the fact that Nosuke Harano almost buried the entire wing in the hands of Hachiro, disgraced the commander of the Western Palace, would he not be able to protect him?

That's all there is to it.

Matsushima Kaede immediately made a decision and ordered to wait until it was dark, and launched an attack as soon as it was dark.

"Lao Zhang, the head of the regiment is fine."

After receiving the news of the enemy's withdrawal, Yang Ming hurried back to the Yangshulin position.

Looking at Ding Wei, who was leaning against the trench with his eyes closed, he subconsciously lightened his steps. Seeing Zhang Dabiao waiting on the side, he asked softly.

"What time is it?"

"Captain! 6:17 a.m. Yang Ming replied.

Then Zhang Dabiao's voice sounded, "You can rest for a while, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night." ”

"I'm fine." Ding Wei wiped his face, stood up and asked, "Old Yang, what's the situation with the artillery company?" ”

Yang Ming hurriedly described the situation briefly, and everyone couldn't help but scold Little Japan for being cunning.

"Regiment commander, have you ever thought about how this little Japanese could quietly touch the artillery company?"

The vicinity of the artillery positions is not without defense, and it is necessary not to alarm them, unless you understand the specific arrangement.
