The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The bullets pierced through the gunpowder smoke like streaks of dazzling light, enveloping towards the opponent.

"Puff puff..."

Many people had just fired one shot, and before they had time to fire the second shot, blood spattered from their chests, and they fell convulsively into the dark trenches.

All of a sudden, bullets rained and blood spattered, and the devils lay down on the spot in a panic and shot, trying to suppress the counterattacking guerrillas.

The charging guerrilla officers and soldiers burst into loud shouts of killing, turning a blind eye to the roaring bullets, fighting and charging, charging forward and backward.

"Da da da....."

The devil's machine gun was also set up, and it fired at the charging brothers, and the brothers were cut down like wheat.

"Boom! Boom!"

But the devil's machine gun only roared for less than a minute, and the mortars of the machine gun company providing fire support behind blasted the devil's machine gun fire support point to pieces.

"Grenade, throw!"

Soon, the charging brothers rushed into the range of the bombs, and one after another grenades and grenades were thrown towards the devil with all their strength.

"hidden!"

Seeing the grenades flying over one after another, the devil soldiers were terrified, and they all performed standard dodging actions.

But following bursts of roaring volley explosions, scorching air waves engulfed hot fragments and swept across.

No matter how standard the devil's evasion tactics are, it is useless, because many explosions are volley explosions, and the covering blows make the devil soldiers howl for a while.

"kill!"

The brothers charged at the little devil with bright bayonets in a murderous spirit. The dozen or so little devils who were lying on the trench and shooting were immediately knocked down by the guerrilla brothers who jumped into the trench.

The little devils in the back kept aiming and shooting, but on the left and right wings, more guerrillas rushed into the trenches and fought with the devils.

The devil had to give up shooting, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the guerrilla officers and soldiers on the ground. For a while, the knife was shining, the blood was rushing, and roaring and screaming were mixed together.

"Bagaya Road!"

The devil's commander, Akamatsu Yamaguchi, saw a hand-to-hand battle with the Chinese army on the smoky front, and his face was livid with anger.

"Your reinforcements!"

"Hi Yi!"

Soon, another wave of little devils with bayonets rushed towards the melee position.

"Order the cannon battery to block the little devil!"

A blacksmith, the battalion commander, cut off the head of a little devil with a single knife. Regardless of the blood sprayed all over his face, he turned his head and gave instructions to a brother holding a bayonet behind him.

After the panting brother responded loudly, he bypassed several battle groups that were fighting together, and ran towards the position of the machine gun company.

Soon the Type [-] infantry guns and grenade launchers of the machine gun company roared angrily, and one after another high-explosive bombs rained down on the devil's reinforcements.

In the scorching explosion, those little devils who were howling and wanting to rush to the battle for reinforcements were immediately turned upside down, their stumps and limbs were flying all over the place, and they couldn't rush up for a while.

The devil's commander, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, quickly ordered the artillery to fight back angrily. They came this time with several 75mm mountain cannons.

These mountain cannons launched a retaliatory bombardment against the position of the machine gun company. For a while, the scorching shells continued to pass over the heads of the melee crowd, and enveloped each other. Many places were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and black smoke billowed .

The first battalion of the blacksmiths was a powerful force that had withstood the test of war. Although the current reduction in the number of troops had greatly reduced their combat effectiveness, they were fighting more and more bravely, and they would gain the upper hand in the melee.

When the blacksmith's first battalion was fighting desperately with the little devil in the forward position, the second battalion led by Wu Changqing also came up in time for reinforcements.

The second battalion also suffered heavy losses in Baoying, and now only half of the battalion is left. They launched an attack on the devils on the flanks to cope with the battle in the main position.

The devil's flank was threatened, and the little devil who was fighting with the blacksmith and the others had to retreat for fear of being encircled.

Although the hand-to-hand combat between the brothers and the little devil only lasted more than ten minutes, the bayonet fight was very exhausting, and the brothers did not dare to pursue it. They chased the retreating devil for a while and then retreated.

"Quick, consolidate the position!"

The position has been bombarded by the little devil's artillery fire, many trenches have collapsed, and the machine gun trenches have been razed to the ground. The blacksmith commanded the brothers to rearrange the firepower points of each support.

The devils were repulsed by the blacksmith and the others. Naturally, they were not reconciled. After half an hour of artillery preparation, more than 200 devil infantry came up again under the cover of the mountain cannon.

It's just that this time it's not as easy for them as before. In front of the tyrannical firepower network built by the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, the devils who are screaming arrogantly charging are like paper, and they put down without even touching the trenches of the position. After killing dozens of corpses, they had to retreat again.

The two sides fought fiercely until dawn, the blacksmiths and the others were firmly in control of the positions outside the city, but the firepower of the devils was strong, and after only two hours of fighting, the blacksmiths and their most powerful company had only two squads left.

Text Chapter 190 Seven Conceived Ghosts

Outside the city of Huaiyin, there was a roar of gunfire and dense gunfire, and the position was shrouded in billowing smoke. The officers and soldiers of the guerrillas went up to reinforce them in batches, and the wounded were sent down continuously.

The sudden appearance of the devils in Huaiyin caught the defenders of Huaiyin by surprise, but fortunately, the troops managed to stabilize the line of defense and did not let the devils break into the city.

"The situation has been clarified. The devils who came to attack were the Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade coming from the direction of Yancheng, not the devils from Baoying."

With the efforts of the intelligence department, at dawn, Zhang Liechen and the others finally figured out the situation of the attacking devils.

"Aren't the troops of the [-]th Security Brigade monitoring these devils? Why did they suddenly rush to Huaiyin? The [-]th Brigade didn't respond at all."

Hearing that it was a ghost from the Yamaguchi brigade, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Liechen said helplessly, "I'm afraid that the little devil Mingxiu went to Chen Cang secretly to deceive the eyes of the Eighth Security Brigade."

"There are more than 1000 devils, and they came prepared with mountain cannons. I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst and organize the evacuation of the people and factories immediately before the devils encircle us."

Although the defense has been stabilized at this moment, the situation is still not optimistic, Zhang Liechen said worriedly.

Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander, shook his head and said, "Huaiyin is the last city in our guerrilla zone. If we lose it again, we will have no place to stand. Therefore, I oppose the evacuation. Once the people are organized to evacuate, it will make the frontline soldiers lose their confidence." vacillating, leading to a worsening of the situation.”

Yuan Guangtao looked at the people attending the meeting and said, "At this critical moment, we can't be cowards. The army and the people must unite as one, fight for every inch of land, don't give up an inch of land, and stick to Huaiyin."

"Captain Yuan, I understand your feelings. I also want to stick to Huaiyin, but our troops have just withdrawn from Baoying and have not rested and replenished ammunition. Now sticking to Huaiyin is like hitting a stone with an egg. My suggestion is to cover the people's factories and evacuate first. Then give up Huaiyin and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the devil."

Zhang Liechen has always carried out Yang Ling's guerrilla warfare, that is, he does not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and focuses on eliminating the devil's vital forces.

"I don't agree. Chief Yang ordered us to take the initiative to withdraw from Baoying to fight guerrillas. But in the end, not only did Baoying fall, but the army was almost wiped out by the devils in the countryside. This is a bloody lesson."

"We rely on Huaiyin to fight devils, but once we give up Huaiyin, we will become homeless ghosts."

"I think we should focus on preserving our strength and not fight the devils head-on," said Liu Zhi, commander of the Fifth Battalion.

"The devils have hit the door of the house, and they still have the strength of a fart."
