Li Yunlong was shocked by hosting the independent group at the beginning

Feng Yuankai continued: "If I remember correctly, the reconnaissance battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Hailong has been out for half a year. If I guess correctly, he really came back with our commander.

Half a year ago, in order to rescue General Guan Linzheng, Commander Li and Adjutant Bai Shuangshuang disappeared together. In the past six months, no matter how many people we sent, Commander Li was not found.

Now, at the time of Shangqiu's life and death, our commander must have returned, and he will never leave us alone. Moreover, according to the report of the Zhengzhou Theater Command, the only reinforcements who came to rescue us were the Volunteer Division and the 88th Division.

But now the sound of the guns is obviously coming from two directions, so I don't think this is a trick of the enemy bandits, it must be the command back, because Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Hailong left Shangqiu half a year ago.

They have been operating in the enemy's heartland, and he has no chance of obtaining the latest code, and it is impossible to use the latest code to send us a telegram.

Moreover, if it was a telegram sent by the enemy bandits, what was their purpose?Mobilize our troops to the north of the city?

It's meaningless, the enemy army has been besieging Shangqiu for half a year, knowing that although other troops are unable to attack, they can still defend. Even if they transfer our troops to the north of the city, once we find out that we have been fooled, we still have enough time to redeploy our troops.

And we can't give up this opportunity. Maybe this telegram is really a turning point in the battle of Shangqiu. I will lead the troops to attack the enemy army in the north of the city with Commander Cao tomorrow, trying to break through the enemy's encirclement and respond to the troops commanded by Li. "

"Do you want to retreat?" Lieutenant General Fujita, the commander of the enemy's Shangqiu offensive force, said to his chief of staff, Major General Lin Mu, with a wry smile.

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Mu roared angrily.

Chapter 258 The God of Death's Protective Color

"Your Excellency, General, we have worked so hard to come to the Huaxia Continent, we have lost the lives of so many soldiers before we came to the city of Shangqiu, and we just went back empty-handed.

If this is the case, then why do we come here? We are here to seize the land of the Huaxia people, occupy their women, and enslave their men and children. We haven’t got anything yet, have we?

Are we going to let those soldiers who died in battle die in the wilderness, and go there empty-handed? "

Lieutenant General Fujita is a very kind officer, he loves his subordinates very much, so even if Lin Mu talks to him in this manner, he is not angry.

Fujita smiled wryly and explained to Lin Mu: "Looking at the map, the two Chinese armies, one left and one right, have broken through the two lines of defense outside his army seamlessly. I believe that the breakthrough of the third line of defense is just around the corner.

His army has been attacking the city of Shangqiu for half a year, and the soldiers are already exhausted. Now the Chinese people are determined to fight us desperately.

We are going now, although we have not captured Shangqiu, we have not lost the battle, and if we are defeated by the enemy and escape, it will be a repeat of the first battle of Shangqiu.

You must know that the Ninth Division was very conceited at that time, and was surrounded and wiped out by the Huaxia Army because it did not leave the battle in time. Although we now have the strength of four divisions in our hands, the determination of the Huaxia Army today is enough to offset it. Our huge force.

His Majesty the Emperor handed over this army to me, so I should bring them back to the Japanese invaders alive instead of letting them enter the shrine for future generations to pay homage to. I think it's time to withdraw the troops.

I hope you can quickly come up with a plan, and don't wait until the situation is irreversible to make a wrong decision in a hurry, Mr. Lin Mu, please think about it carefully. "

Major General Lin Mu was silent for a few minutes, and said: "Sir, is the situation really irreversible? What should the emperor explain, what should Commander Okamura explain, and what should we do with the face of the Japanese Army Department?"

Fujita said: "I am responsible for all of this. I will give an explanation to His Excellency the Commander and His Majesty the Emperor. As for the face of the Ministry of War, the lives of soldiers are far more important than face."

Their commander actually ordered them to retreat. The soldiers fought hard under the city of Shangqiu for six or seven months, with heavy casualties. Shangqiu could be conquered immediately, and wealth and women were already at their fingertips.

What are the soldiers working so hard for? Isn't it just for these?

Not only the commanders can't understand, but ordinary soldiers can't understand either. Some junior officers and sergeants haven't seen women for several months. What they think about day and night are those delicate Chinese women in Shangqiu City.

When they heard that they were about to retreat, these desperadoes cursed loudly. They were not afraid of death, and death was nothing to them.

Because they are also very poor in the country, they are looked down upon by others, and they have nothing to eat or drink all day long. They might as well go to China to sacrifice their lives in exchange for wealth and a woman they can't get close to even in their dreams in China.

It is really a taboo for military strategists to fortify the city with troops, and Fujita has been fighting the Chinese army under the city of Shangqiu for six or seven months, and the morale of the troops has already been worn down.

Many troops have changed commanders for multiple rounds, and the enemy's junior officers and sergeants like to lead the troops to charge with their personal courage, and the death rate remains high.

The newly added squad leader and squadron leader didn't understand the situation in Shangqiu area at all, and the combat loss rate of the command troops skyrocketed, forming a vicious circle.

Fujita is very aware of the changes in his troops. Although he still has [-] troops to drive, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Huaxia people who regard death as home and the hard fighting over the past few months have exhausted him physically and mentally.

Over the past few months, the Huaxia army has been trying to break through the encirclement, and the force they use is getting stronger and stronger. Although only two Chinese troops have broken through the outer encirclement, the turning point of the Battle of Shangqiu may be approaching.

Although the Volunteer Division and the 88th Division are only two division-level combat units of the Huaxia Army, it takes him to mobilize all the mobile forces of the two divisions to barely stop the Volunteer Division from advancing.

And last night, the entire army of the Kimura Regiment was wiped out, making it impossible for him to mobilize mobile forces to seal the gap, instead of waiting for the situation to get out of hand, he fled.

It's better to make a decisive decision and accept it while it's good. It can still be considered a tie. Although the Japanese army has lost face, it is much better than the troops returning in a big defeat.

The battle of the volunteer division came to an end after dark, and the Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the offensive of the other Chinese army continued unabated. They used the cover of night to use wave attacks and small group charges to continuously attack the enemy's third and last line of defense, and the enemy's defense line was in jeopardy.

However, due to the reduced offensive pressure on the side of the Volunteer Division, Fujita was able to draw some troops from the defense line of the No.20 Second Division to reinforce the enemy in the north of the city. Therefore, the enemy's [-]th Division vowed to stick to its position and resolutely wait for reinforcements. arrival.

Shouting long live, the Huaxia soldiers rushed towards the position of the Youwei Regiment like a tide, and then retreated like a tide, without the cover and support of heavy weapons.

Li Feng's brave and fearless soldiers were unable to break through the enemy's position. The enemy continued to fire flares into the air, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns were all firing at full speed, regardless of ammunition and barrel consumption.

If you can't keep your position, you won't even have your own head, so what's the use of protecting the machine gun.

Just after the enemy triumphantly repelled the sixth attack of the Huaxia Army, some veterans suddenly shouted in surprise: "China Chariot."

Their ears were very good. Sure enough, Night Breeze brought the sound of Huaxia tanks' tracks to their ears. The enemy soldiers hurriedly turned their guns and aimed all kinds of weapons in the direction of the city.

Soon, a dozen dark guys appeared, and they hurriedly fired flares into the air, flares

The white light shone on the armor of the tank, but did not emit a silvery white light, because these tanks were still painted dark black with black paint in accordance with the tradition of Master Hou Yi, as if it was the protective color of the god of death.

"Death is coming." An old soldier muttered to himself.

He is a survivor of the first battle of Shangqiu. Except for him, all members of the original army were wiped out by Huaxia tanks on the small high ground outside Shangqiu City. The old black tank.

Sure enough, the murderous Huaxia tanks soon appeared in his field of vision, and the enemy hurriedly pushed the four anti-tank guns that had been unwilling to use them out of the blast hole and entered the battle position.

Chapter 259 Exhausted

However, the distance is still far away, and the shells cannot penetrate the armor of the Huaxia tank. The enemy anti-tank soldiers wait patiently for the Huaxia tank to enter the effective range before opening fire.

Li Feng's seventh charge began. The enemy's flares had been exhausted. In the vast night, the enemy's machine gunners could only blindly block and shoot, and the accuracy was greatly reduced. Li Feng's war of attrition finally achieved results.

However, this was exchanged by more than 1000 soldiers with their own lives. The soldiers jumped up for a while, fell down for a while, and gradually approached the enemy's position.

With a signal from the platoon and company commanders, the soldiers threw out the hand grenades that were almost hot in their hands. Hundreds of grenades fell into the enemy's trenches in a beautiful arc. The two explosion points erupted almost simultaneously.

Countless flashes of light came and went, and for a while, the enemy soldiers were killed and injured, and several heavy machine guns that were spouting flames were blasted into the air together with the machine gunner.

With this blow, the four charging companies successfully entered the enemy's position and began hand-to-hand combat with the remaining enemy soldiers in the trench.

At this time, it was time to see who had more people. Li Feng quickly ordered the Zhuang Hailong brigade on standby to quickly enter the battle and expand the breakthrough. The enemy army had to deal with assaults from the front and rear directions at the same time, so the situation was very bad.

The enemy is not without countermeasures. In order to help the Shangqiu offensive troops who besieged Shangqiu, the enemy planned to dispatch [-] dive bombers to drop poison gas bombs.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's airfield was attacked by the Zhong Gang Battalion of the Eighth Route Army. The Zhong Gang Battalion blew up and injured 100 enemy bombers at the cost of 24 casualties, and killed [-] enemy pilots. shattered.

The enemy's [-]st Tank Division maneuvered towards Shangqiu at the fastest speed, but the bridges and roads along the way were either bombed or landmines were laid. The [-]st Tank Division was struggling and could not move quickly at all.
