Qixia Town.

Second Lieutenant Taro Iwaki was ordered by squadron leader Captain Hiroki Sakai to take his squad of more than 50 people to the north to support the town of Zikou.

On the way, they met a company of locust allies, and under the leadership of the company commander Wan Xicai, they ran out of their barracks with great excitement.

Seeing Taro Iwaki, Wan Xicai suddenly approached him as if he had seen his own father and asked:

"Taijun, is it the Eighth Road calling?

These dirt eight roads, dare to offend the majesty of the princes, it is really self-defeating! ”

The third battalion and one company of the 8th Independent Regiment of the Locust Association led by Wan Xicai were stationed in Xipan Town with Taro Iwaki's team before, so he was very familiar with Taro Iwaki, and when he saw each other at this moment, he naturally felt very cordial.

Seeing Wan Xicai, Iwaki Taro also barely showed a little smile, when he was in Xipan Town, this dogleg was very useful.

He didn't hide it from him, and replied casually:

"Wan Sang, it's true that Tubalu is attacking the town, Your Excellency the Squadron Leader ordered my squad to go for reinforcements, why don't you go with me?

If you make a meritorious contribution, I will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of His Excellency the squadron leader, and when the time comes, it will be easy for you to be promoted to battalion commander! ”

Hearing that there was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Taijun, Wan Xicai was immediately very excited, and nodded hurriedly:

"Okay, no problem, my soldiers are all willing to serve Taijun!"

This guy is a hardcore traitor, and he just wants to be promoted and make a fortune.

Therefore, when he heard the sound of artillery outside in the barracks, he immediately gathered his soldiers, fooled them that they had a chance to make a fortune, and then ran out of the barracks.

The purpose is, of course, to behave in front of the little devil, so as to get the appreciation of the little devil.

Now that I have what I want, I can't wait to kneel and lick Taro Iwagi's stinky feet immediately.

Hurriedly waved his hand:

"Brothers, Grandpa Taijun asked us to go to Zhenzikou for reinforcements, the big guy cheered up, ran and marched, let Grandpa Taijun see the combat effectiveness of our Locust Cooperative Army!"

Hearing this guy's shameless words, many of the people in his company immediately pouted with disdain.

Secretly scolded: This dog doesn't like to be a man, prefers to be a dog, it's really cheap!

But there are also a large number of people who promise in an uproar:

"Yes, company commander!"

……

Seeing that these guys were still as obedient as ever, Iwaki Taro was very satisfied, patted Wan Xicai on the shoulder and said:

"Wan Sang, Lingdi, is really a good friend of my locust army!

I, Taro Iwaki, will always remember your friendship! ”

When Wan Xi heard this, he suddenly felt that his bones were lighter.

Secretly poked and poked and decided, when he arrived at the entrance of the town, he must ruthlessly teach the attacking Tubalu a profound lesson.

He didn't believe at all that Tubalu could take down this solidly defended Qixia Town!

He thinks that the current Tubalu attack is just giving him credit for Wanxi.

……

More than fifty little devils, with a hundred second devils, hurried from the town to the north entrance of the town.

Lieutenant Akihiko Maeda, the squad leader who was originally in charge of the defense of the north entrance of the town, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that reinforcements had finally arrived.

Immediately command them, climb the wall at the entrance of the town, and fire their guns at the attacking eight roads outside.

Wan Xicai, the commander of the Second Devil Company, originally thought that the incoming Tuba Road was just a local guerrilla force or a small main force, and it would be easy to retreat.

- Even the sound of those cannons was nothing more than the homemade earthen cannons of the guerrillas.

That's why he rushed out so aggressively to mess with Taro Iwaki.

But now, when he saw the figures of the Eighth Route soldiers who were digging trenches in neat gray military uniforms, and saw the tongues of fire spewed out by the three heavy machine guns on the opposite side, he was a little confused.

Is this still a three-gun dirt road?

In particular, at this time, an infantry gun of the first company of the special service battalion suddenly opened fire, and a shell fell on the bunker firing port at the entrance of the town.

"Ahh ~”

This is a desperate wail of serious injuries and death!

Seeing this, Wan Xicai's face turned white with fright.

I immediately cried out in my heart: How is this special thing different from what I imagined!

The eighth master actually has a cannon!

I'm not going to be finished today, is I?

Sure enough, it was "a goose all day long, but the goose pecked its eyes"!

But at this moment, he couldn't retreat immediately, so he could only shout at his subordinates to block the front and slip back quietly.

Although it is important to perform in front of Taijun, it is even more important to save the dog's life!

He is so happy that he can get to this day, but he relies on his flexible brain!

……

Outside the town, on the position of the first company, Han Yang, Zhao Shihong and others also used binoculars to see the little devil coming to reinforce the army.

Han Yang couldn't help but say with satisfaction:

"Okay, the first wave of reinforcements from the little devils has finally arrived, and now as long as we defeat this batch, the little devils should ask Qubei County and Jinyang City for help, right?"

Zhao Shihong also nodded:

"There is only one little devil with more than one squadron in this Qixia Town, and now here, it looks like there should already be two squadrons.

Coupled with the fact that they still have to defend the south side of the town in case we attack from the east and west, it is estimated that there is not much mobile force left, and the defeat of these two squads is enough for them to desperately ask for help. ”

"Order the artillery, aim at the wall, and fire three rapid fires!"

Han Yang categorically ordered.

With this order, the two Type 92 infantry guns immediately began to adjust their shelling of Zhu Yuan.

Unlike the previous night when he hit Heyuan County, he could only rely on the faint light to observe, and the blind shelling was different, but now it is broad daylight, and the vision is very good.

The artillery observers took the binoculars and made an observation, and then selected the most dense positions of the little devils, reported the distance and direction, and the gunners carefully calculated the shelling yuan, and then made adjustments.

Soon, three shots were fired from each of the two guns, and six shells smashed into the wall at the entrance of the town.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Six cannons rang out, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the town, the Iwaki squad that ran up to the city wall to defend was blown to pieces, and seventeen or eighteen people were reimbursed, and many seriously injured were wailing on the ground in Fusang dialect:

"Ahh It hurts! Save me! ”

"My legs! My leg is broken, medic, help! ”

"Mom, I'm going to die, I want to go home......"

……

In addition to the little devils, Wan Xicai's two devils also died seven or eight people, and the rest suddenly rushed back like frightened birds, which highlighted Wan Xicai, so frightened that he hurriedly shouted:

"Bastard, you guys give me back!

If you run again, Taijun will kill your whole family! ”

But at this time, the little devil was in no mood to deal with them at all.

When Taro Iwaki saw that his squad would be reimbursed by one-third of his face, his heart immediately bleed, and he immediately shouted to Lieutenant Maeda Akihiko:

"Maeda-kun, the artillery shells of the Tsuchihachi Road are so abundant and the artillery skills are so exquisite, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on, so let's quickly ask His Excellency the squadron leader for help!"

Maeda Akihiko originally thought that there were not enough shells on the Tsuchihachi Road, so the attack just now was progressing so slowly, but the six shells just now gave him a blow to the head.

Bombarding the infantry with shells, this is too extravagant!

Cannonballs are expensive!

At this moment, when he heard Taro Iwaki's words, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said to him:

"Onishi, Iwaki-kun, your views are very sharp.

Now I order you to take charge of holding this place for me, and I will personally report to His Excellency the Squadron Leader and ask for tactical guidance! ”

Then he did not wait for Taro Iwaki to object, and shouted:

"Gentlemen, the glory of the Locust Army needs to be defended, and now I appoint Second Lieutenant Iwaki as the temporary commander to be responsible for defense, and you must obey the orders of Second Lieutenant Iwajo!"

As a lieutenant squad leader, Maeda Akihiko's words certainly made those little devil soldiers a little confused, but they still had to listen.

They hurriedly agreed in unison:

"Hey!"

Then Maeda Akihiko patted Taro Iwashiro on the shoulder and said:

"Iwaki-kun, here, I'll entrust it to you!"

After saying that, he pulled his feet and ran towards the town.

……

Maeda Akihiko's operation can be described as crisp and neat, without any mud and water, and Iwaki Taro did not react at all, and became the supreme commander on the battlefield at this moment.

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded:

"Nani?

I just suggested that Maeda-kun ask for help from His Excellency the Squadron Leader, why did it become that I was in charge of the defense here?

This ......"

However, no one answered his questions, only the incessant sound of gunfire and the occasional sound of cannonball.

Of course, it's more about the terrible wails of the little devil and the second devil!
