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

"Captain, why don't you encircle and destroy them now?" The combat staff officer with devils was very puzzled by Yamaguchi Akamatsu's order.

Akamatsu Yamaguchi replied with a grim face: "Now the morale of the Chinese army is high. If they close the siege at this moment, they will definitely break through the siege and cause unnecessary casualties to the Imperial Japanese Army."

"Now that we have built a strong position outside the city, after the Chinese army has been beaten to death, we will send troops to encircle them. Wouldn't it be easier to destroy them?" Yamaguchi Akamatsu pointed to the trenches outside the city, the bunker and The position of the barbed wire arrangement said.

When the young officers around heard this explanation, they showed expressions of sudden realization.

"The captain is wise!" The officers of the Yamaguchi brigade all showed admiration for the red pine in Yamaguchi, and flattered them.

In this way, they can wait for work with ease, and give them a fatal blow when the guerrillas are exhausted. I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy.

"Gentlemen, the Chongqing army is launching a large-scale attack on our army on a long front. At this difficult time, I ask you to fight the enemy with all your strength, smash their counterattack, and consolidate the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

"Hi Yi!" More than a dozen officers gathered around stood tall and bowed their heads in unison.

When the leader of the devils, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, was standing on the highest tower in Huaiyin City to observe the situation outside the city, the guerrillas also stopped and looked at the devils' defense.

Huaiyin City does not have a city wall, but only a large area of ​​soil around the settlement, and the devil's preset position is built around this large area of ​​soil.

"Damn, the little devil seems to want to stick to it."

When the guerrilla commander led more than a dozen detachment leaders under him to hide behind a slope to observe the situation, he took a breath when he saw the fortifications outside.

The devil built three ring-shaped ditches relying on the soil polders, each of which is about 50 meters apart, and is connected by traffic ditches in depth.

Between these trenches, some bunkers and circular machine gun fortifications were built as fire support points, and there were wooden stakes and barbed wire deeply embedded in the ground at the front.

These are only visible fortifications, and there are still so many invisible traps and dark forts.

The little devil is not only equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, but also has complete fortifications. Seeing this iron-fortified outlying position, many guerrilla detachment leaders felt a little guilty.

If they were allowed to fight the devils in the vast countryside and fight guerrillas, maybe it would be okay, but if they were to attack such a complete and fortified fortification, their scalps would be numb.

"Go, take a look at the other side."

The excited guerrilla commander didn't look very good now, and he called the detachment leaders to investigate in another direction.

They rushed over aggressively to recover Huaiyin County, but the devils built so many strong fortifications that many people have already started to retreat in their hearts.

The guerrilla commander led the detachment leaders around and found that the devil's defense was impeccable, with no flaws at all, which made them difficult.

"Let's talk about how to fight this battle?" After seeing the devil's position, the guerrilla commander asked the detachment leaders.

The detachment leaders all looked at each other, looking at each other, without making a sound.

"Just now you were clamoring to take the lead, why, are you all dumb now?" Seeing the silent detachment leaders, the guerrilla commander's expression darkened.

These detachment leaders are not fools either, they shot the first bird, and now the devils are treating them seriously, if they go to the first battle, it will be no wonder if they don't hit their heads and bleed.

"Liu Jinhu, tell me." The guerrilla commander set his sights on Liu Jinhu, the first team leader.

Liu Jinhu also scratched his head and scratched his head for a while before he spoke: "Commander, why don't we siege for a long time, the little devil has nothing to eat or drink, at most half a month, this Huaiyin will be destroyed by itself..."

"I'm afraid the devil didn't starve to death, we starved to death first." A detachment leader shook his head after hearing this.

Since the devils mobilized three divisions to mop up at the beginning of the year, the Sulu Theater Command had to withdraw to the southern Shandong area.

Their northern Jiangsu area is now blocked by the devils, and food supplies cannot come in. If it weren't for the local people to help them, they would have starved to death long ago.

Now we are counting on capturing Huaiyin to get some food. If the siege lasts for a long time, not to mention the reinforcements from the devils, it will be a big problem for thousands of brothers to eat. They must solve it quickly.

The guerrilla commander looked at the team leaders under him, and shook his head secretly. He was usually arrogant and flamboyant, but at the critical moment, he would lie down.

"Okay, since we're here, we can't go back empty-handed like this." The commander saw that no one spoke, and broke the silence.

"According to the information, there are not many devils in Huaiyin City, at most a squadron. Although there are many puppet soldiers, it is not a cause for concern. As long as we break through the outer defense line, we still have a chance of winning."

Hearing what the commander said, the detachment leaders finally regained some confidence.

"It's not dark yet, if we attack now, we will be exposed to the firepower of the devils, and the losses will definitely be great, so I mean attack after dark."

"But who will take the lead?" Everyone agrees to attack after dark, but they don't want to be the first to rush up.

The commander looked around at the detachment leaders, and finally ordered: "Since you're here, don't even try to be a coward. When it's too dark, you'll be surrounded from all directions, and you'll have to go up and fight!"

Hearing the commander's words, although everyone felt a little risky, they had no other choice. Fortunately, they were not alone, so they agreed.

"Let me explain in advance, if anyone dares to retreat in front of the battle, don't blame me for being cruel!" The commander warned, looking at the uncertain crowd.

Everyone had a serious look on their faces, and they nodded in agreement.

"Of course, whoever leads the troops to attack Huaiyin first will be the hero of my ninth column. I will keep the deputy commander of the ninth column for him, and reward five thousand oceans!"

The guerrilla commander is also a veteran in the officialdom, so he naturally knows how to use a carrot and a stick.

As soon as his words came out, the leaders of the detachment became very excited, and they all patted their chests and expressed that they would move forward bravely.

The more than 3000 officers and soldiers of the guerrilla column did not launch an attack immediately, but buried their pots and made a living, took the time to rest and organize their weapons.

And the devils guarding the position seemed to be really short of troops and had no intention of attacking. The two sides just separated by the distance of the shooting range and waited peacefully until dark.

Text Chapter 845 Bloody Soldier

Boundless darkness came from a distance like a tide, engulfing the fields and reeds, the cold wind howled, night fell, and the world fell into a dark silence.

The cloud of war enveloped Huaiyin City, and the residents in the city closed their doors and turned off their lights early on. Huaiyin City, with a population of more than [-], left only the lanterns swaying in the cold wind, emitting a faint light.

The field outside the city was brightly lit, piles of bonfires were lit in the temporary camp of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, and delicious meals were cooked.

On the contrary, the side of the devil's position was bleak, and even the searchlights that were illuminated on weekdays were dark and unresponsive, leaving only the outline of the trench and bunker outside.

"Brothers, our troops have launched counterattacks against the devils in Hunan, Wuhan, and on both sides of the Yangtze River. The little devils everywhere are left to linger!"

In the camp of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, the guerrilla commander held a wine bowl aloft, and stood on the ammunition box for pre-war mobilization.

"it is good!"

The guerrilla brothers in a circle were all very excited when they heard the news, and their hard faces exuded excitement under the reflection of the fire.

"The little devil is dead. We have millions of troops fighting back this time. The chairman said that the little devil will be wiped out by us in one month at the latest!"

The guerrilla commander was spitting all over the place, and the brothers below heard their blood boiling, and every pore exuded a raging fighting spirit.

"Our friendly forces are recovering cities. Not to mention, Commander Yu Xuezhong has led his troops to Tai'an and Tongcheng. In the south, our 89th Army is also attacking Gaoyou, Chuxian, and Baoying. We are adjacent to No. The .11 guerrilla column is about to recover Lianshui!"

"Our Ninth Guerrilla Column is also a Chinese man with a handle. Can we watch the friendly troops eat meat and let us drink soup?!"

"Shoot into Huaiyin and destroy the devils!" The brothers shouted like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
