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

"That's the little devil's tank. Don't be afraid of it. I'll tie some more grenades later. When he drives over, stuff it down in his stomach, and he'll definitely lie down."

"The devil still has cannons, and it looks like there are quite a few."

"We also have cannons, as long as the devils dare to fire, our artillery brothers will turn them into scrap metal!"

......

The convoy of devil soldiers stopped about a mile away from the position of the Chinese officers and soldiers. The devil infantry quickly left for a kilometer, setting up artillery in the field, digging machine gun fortifications, and were very busy.

On the other hand, the Chinese officers and soldiers stood in the trenches with their arms folded, pointing and whispering to the shadowy ghosts not far away.

"Don't watch the excitement, big guys. It seems that the little devil wants to attack Gaoyou to sleep today. They are going to attack later. They all go back to their positions."

Seeing that the devils had already set up their positions, it seemed that they had no intention of camping. The officers in various positions called their brothers to enter the fortifications to prepare for battle.

"It seems that the little devil has spent a lot of money. There are not only five tanks, but also a lot of field artillery and infantry artillery. This battle is not easy to fight."

On the incomplete city steps at the head of Gaoyou City, Li Changjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief, also led more than a dozen senior staff officers under his command and the responsible officers of each battalion to observe the movement of the devils from a distance with binoculars.

Now that the devils have revealed their strength, they really have a chill down their spines. If they really fight with the devils in Gaoyou, the two groups of them will be finished in less than three days.

So after the deputy commander judged the devil's strength, he no longer had the idea of ​​fighting the devil in Gaoyou. The reason why he wanted to fight the devil now was to find a reason to withdraw his troops.

At that time, even if he is questioned by the theater command, he can still say that they have already fought the devils, and they will withdraw if they can't fight.

"Tell the brothers, even if it's hard to fight, you have to touch the devils. If you withdraw without a fight, you will be ashamed and slandered. How many eyes are staring at us now, brothers, take it for yourself , and you can't let the little devil into the city so easily!"

"Don't worry, sir, we will never let the little devils enter Gaoyou easily, at least we will let them bleed!" The head of the third guerrilla regiment assured with a lack of confidence.

Everyone has already understood the meaning of Li Changjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief. They want to fight the devils, but they can't fight to the death. Thinking that Gaoyou, which has just been liberated, will fall into the hands of the devils again, everyone is unwilling.

But what can be done, the little devils are powerful, and they are not as good as the little devils in terms of the quality of soldiers or weapons and equipment.

Just like what Li Changjiang, the deputy commander in chief, said, if you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as the little devils are still on Chinese soil, there will always be a chance to eliminate the devils. the most important.

If they had encountered such a large-scale army of devils before, they would have fled away long ago.

But this time, they jumped into Gaoyou's pit by themselves, and had to fight the little devil. They were all full of helplessness, and they had already scolded Yang Ling bloody in their hearts.

But they have forgotten that this is what they jumped into this pit willingly, and they can't blame others.

"You all go to the various positions to supervise the battle in person, fight the devils first, and then withdraw until tomorrow." Li Changjiang, the deputy commander in chief, waved his hand and ordered.

In his opinion, no matter how strong the devils are, it is not a problem for more than 3000 of them to persist for one night.

As long as they persisted for one night, no matter what the situation was, he would lead people to evacuate without hesitation. A dilapidated Gaoyou City was not worth the loss of his troops.

"Tom tom tom!"

The field in the distance suddenly burst into red lights. In a short period of time, the devil's field cannon had been adjusted to shoot at Zhuyuan. The cold cannon was raised high and opened fire in the direction of Gaoyou.

"Boom—boom—"

Mushroom clouds suddenly rose from the Chinese defenders' positions on the outskirts of Gaoyou. The high-explosive bombs blasted the soil on the ground, and then flung them fiercely towards the surroundings.

"Conceal! Conceal—"

Amidst the billowing smoke and tremors, those guerrilla officers and soldiers who had been watching the excitement before were suddenly stunned. Facing the turbulent and sweeping air waves, they couldn't stand still.

The high-speed flying shells fell into the smoke and dust with the howling sound of tearing the air, and exploded again. Many officers and soldiers on the position were staggering before they could stand up, and were overturned heavily again.

At this moment, the forward position of the defenders is like a crumbling boat, which may capsize at any time in the explosion like landslides and ground cracks. After only a few rounds of rapid fire, the position is completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust.

As soon as the devil came up, he gave them a big blow. The deputy commander-in-chief Li Changjiang and other senior officers standing at the head of Gaoyou City watching the battle were shocked, and at the same time, their faces were extremely ugly. The devil is too arrogant.

The devil's artillery fire was extending towards Gaoyou City, and began to bombard the Chinese officers and soldiers on the second line of defense in depth, while the first line of defense was already a mess, and the temporary trenches were all blown up.

When the devil's artillery fire was extended, about 400 devils with bayonets were divided into four offensive echelons. Under the cover of five tanks, they swooped towards the forward position like waves.

Text Chapter 957 Bombardment!

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander!"

The devil's artillery fire extended and shot backwards, like plowing the ground. The smoke from the rumbling second defense bombing was billowing, blowing up the forward position in a mess. The battalion commander dug it out of the dirt.

"Bah, bah—"

The battalion commander, who was almost buried and suffocated by the mud, turned his head and spat out the mud, and his hat was thrown off to nowhere, revealing a freshly shaved green head.

"The battalion commander is alright, the battalion commander is alright." Seeing that the battalion commander who was dug out was still alive, the brothers shouted excitedly.

He shook his head to wake up his chaotic head, looked at the dusty brothers around him, and then turned his head to look around. In the diffused gunpowder smoke, there were scattered brothers lying there, Already dead or alive.

"Battalion Commander, the devils are coming, let's retreat quickly."

Seeing their battalion commander looking around, as if he didn't understand the situation, a brother couldn't wait to speak.

Before they exchanged fire with the little devil, the devil dropped a shell. Most of the two companies arranged at the front were killed and injured, and they were no longer able to fight the devil.

The reason why these veterans didn't run away was that they wanted to dig out the battalion commander before leaving. They just didn't want to be charged as a deserter. After all, running away without authorization and running back with the battalion commander were two different concepts.

"Run away, pick up the gun and prepare to fight!" The first battalion commander of the third regiment kicked the veteran who was talking somersault, and stood up cursing.

"Battalion Commander, we can't win the battle. Everyone is dead..." Another veteran soldier saw that the battalion commander was about to fight, thinking that he hadn't recovered from the bombing, so he hurriedly added.

"Damn it, I'm still alive, who said I'm dead! Hurry back to your positions, if anyone dares to be a deserter, don't blame the gun in my hand for not recognizing anyone!"

The battalion commander, who used to get together to drink together when he had nothing to do, seemed to have lost his mind, but now he was completely out of his usual warmth, and instead looked grim.

"I followed six troops, and was kicked and beaten six times by the little devil, and tens of thousands of brothers died. I have had enough! I don't want to run anymore!" The battalion commander raised his pistol and shouted: " Ready to fight!"

Seeing their battalion commander shouting and kicking some people up from the ground, several veterans who wanted to run back to save their lives looked at each other, but they all turned their guns helplessly, turned around and rushed to the side of the trench wall, throwing The gun was mounted.

They really wanted to save their lives, but now they couldn't withdraw at all. If the battalion commander didn't withdraw, who would dare to withdraw? Maybe when they turned around, someone would shoot black guns behind them. They didn't want to die without knowing why.

The disheveled first battalion commander trotted on the smoky battlefield while shouting loudly: "Anyone who can still breathe, let me prepare for battle, and those who retreat without permission will be killed without mercy!"

Those brothers who were stunned by the explosion or buried in the mud also recovered one after another, found their weapons again, and lay down along the collapsed trench.

The entire trench was full of people before the devils bombarded them, but now there are only a few living people in almost a long section of the trench, but the battalion commander didn't say to withdraw, they didn't dare to withdraw, they could only resist.

The devils had full confidence in taking Gaoyou down. They didn't jump up on the bombing point like in every bloody battle in the past.

These troops formed by the devils' supplementary soldiers are not as bold and powerful as those veterans. Equipped better.

The first attack echelon of the devils pulled a sparse line of skirmishers, and the width of the line of skirmishers reached more than 300 meters. The devils in the second attack wave were more than 20 meters away, followed by the third wave …

The devil's offensive echelon is like an ocean wave. Such an offensive formation can not only avoid too dense personnel from being killed by artillery fire, but also maintain sufficient impact.
