In the early morning, the war turned red half of the sky.

The second battalion of the 381st Regiment was the main attacker (the first battalion was taken away by the regiment commander Wu Youyuan, and the deputy regiment commander Ding Yiming replaced the commander). Although the second battalion was slightly worse than the first battalion, it was also the main battalion.

The battalion commander of the second battalion is Cao Yawen. He wears a pair of glasses, and is very literary and looks like a teacher.

Then you are deceived by his appearance. This man is ruthless. People like the battalion commander Tu Man are ruthless. They are famous for being vicious in wars. During the confrontation exercise of the New 38th Brigade, the brothers suffered a lot of losses.

"What's going on? The Fourth Company had been in normal times and it only took less than fifty meters. I didn't have breakfast this morning, but I still had diarrhea?"

"Battle, although the Japanese army hastily fought, this simple fortification is not bad, it is no worse than us at all, and its marksmanship is better than us. If we hadn't been plotted against, we might not have been able to trap others here..."

"Noisy, go there!" Cao Yawen grabbed the phone rudely, "Select four companies for me!"

"Captain 4th Company? Don't you always say that the fourth company is stronger than the first company? The fourth company can also chew the hard bones that can be gnawed, and now I'm looking at whether you can chew the hard bones of the 132 high ground. I'll give you two hours to prepare. Before noon, you must take down the 132 high ground!"

"Yes, please rest assured that the camp will be in peace. My company will guarantee to complete the task!" The fourth company commander said confidently.

The Japanese army surrounded was a mixed brigade with a total of 1,000 troops, which was more than the Japanese army surrounded by Huangshan Temple. The two troops together accounted for two-thirds of the Japanese army landed from Baidu Bridge and Xiliang Mountain in Niudao.

In other words, the main force of the landing Japanese 45th Regiment was trapped by the New 38th Brigade.

Niudao's rescue troops were only one brigade.

If a brigade of troops is dismantled and used, no one may be able to save it. However, if you make a desperate bet, you can save one unit and then concentrate your efforts to rescue another one, which may turn defeat into victory.

After weighing the pros and cons, Niudao Man decided to save Takamoto brigade first. Because Takamoto is very close to Baidu Bridge, if he leads the team to rescue Tongchengzha, the opponent will likely take the opportunity to attack Baidu Bridge and close their only way of retreat.

Niu Daoman personally commanded his troops to attack Huangshan Temple, intending to rescue the trapped Takamoto Brigade.

The main force of the 382nd Regiment of the New 38th Brigade and a supplementary regiment (neither battalion) were besieged by Longben Brigade, with a total force of about 2,000.

Major Takamoto, who received the order to cooperate with the breakout, also commanded the remaining Japanese troops to launch a fierce charge on the 382nd Regiment's position from 7 o'clock in the morning.

The blood dyed the earth red, and when it reached the most tragic time, it actually started a hand-to-hand battle.

Bite with your mouth, kick with your feet, insert your eyes, break your son's legs...

The attack was repelled, and the Japanese army was defeated by the bravery and persistence of the Chinese team. They were timid and heartbroken. No matter how Major Takamoto scolded him and shot the retreating soldiers, they could not stop the failure of the Japanese army's attack.

Tongchengzha battlefield!

Bang!

A soldier from the 382nd Regiment covered his left eye and shouted in pain: "Ah. My eyes..."

His eyes were hit by a Japanese soldier on the opposite position, and his eyeball was shattered. Although his life was saved, this eye could never be seen again!

"Be careful, the Japanese devils have great marksmanship, machine gunners, firepower suppression!" On the position, the platoon leader shouted loudly, reminding the soldiers below to pay attention.

Da da...

The battle is bloody and cruel, and it is a life-and-death battle.

The Maxim heavy machine gun roared angryly. A 12.7 mm pointed bullet poured out, and the Japanese army behind the simple fortifications could not lift up.

Although the Japanese army generally have better equipment than ****, that is relatively common. Now they are facing a Chinese team that is almost no worse than their weapons and equipment. They are even better than the Japanese army in light weapons firepower.

Such a battle does not seem to have too many skills, it only depends on the real combat power of both sides and the command ability of grassroots officers in front of the battle.

The grassroots officers of the Japanese army received strict military education and rarely made common sense mistakes when commanding, and the troops were very skilled in cooperation, which could be said to be without flaws.

In contrast, although the New 38th Brigade was born into the teaching corps, it was not the same unit as before. The grassroots officers had a slightly weaker ability, but they were more flexible.

Therefore, the gap between the two sides is not very big, but the new 38th Brigade is above the Japanese army in terms of military strength and firepower. The landing Japanese troops did not support the heavy artillery, and their artillery strength was even worse than that of the new 38th Brigade.

When the New 38th Brigade evacuated Nanjing, Leng Feng handed over all the Japanese heavy equipment seized to Luo Yufeng and took it away. Later, through various channels, some were secretly made. In terms of the number of artillery, the New 38th Brigade had long exceeded any brigade of the original teaching corps.

In addition to the lack of heavy artillery above 150 mm, the New 38th Brigade's mountain artillery, infrasher artillery, and mortars of various calibers combined have hundreds of mortars.

This is why many miscellaneous army's number of artillery can't match.

"Okay, I got it."

"The Brigade, Commander Zhu, reported that the Japanese army had been besieged in an area less than three square kilometers south of Tongling Gate."

"I understand, I'll surround it first and not hit it. Let's see Niu Daoman's reaction." Luo Yufeng drew a circle on the map and ordered.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The 383rd Regiment reported that a Japanese army of about five or six hundred men reinforced Huangshan Temple from Baidu Bridge, intending to rescue the trapped Takamoto brigade!"

"Oh, Lao Qin, it seems that Niu Daoman chose to save Longben first. He was afraid that he would go to Tongling Gate and we would take his way out." Luo Yufeng looked up and said to Qin Yankun, who was drinking tea slowly.

"Isn't this what we expected?"

"I'm worried that the Japanese army will increase their troops. Logically speaking, Niujima Man will take action first and then report this time, but the Japanese army will not sit idly by and watch Niujima Man fail. The Japanese army in Wuhu can still draw some troops if they squeeze."

"It makes sense, we must not be careful about this." Qin Yankun said, "What's the situation with Lao Leng?"

"The Okamoto United occupy Wujiang Town and is advancing eastward. However, it was blocked by the Honorary Division's Special Forces in Dongqingzhuang area and had almost never moved." Luo Yufeng said.

"Well, no matter whether Niudaoman has reinforcements or not, I think I can eat the Japanese army from Tongling Gate first!"

"I agree!"

"Do you want to ask Lao Leng for instructions?"

"It should be!"

Before this, the New 38th Brigade was actually just a small fight and did not show its true strength. If all its trump card was exposed, how could this arrogant guy Niu Daoman be fooled?

"I order the general attack time is set at 6:30 am tomorrow. All participating troops must attack according to the plan. If someone disobeys or changes the combat plan without authorization, military law will be carried out!"

"yes!"

The next morning, at 6:00 am on February 11, 1938, the Western calendar.

The New 38th Brigade besieged the Japanese main position. Black gun barrels stood up and lined up, emitting cold light, like a steel jungle, a shock that never happened, strongly impacting all the officers and soldiers participating in the war.

"Calculate all elements!"

“…”

"preparation!"

"emission!"

As the red flag in the hands of the commander waved downwards.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of the New 38th Brigade emitted a roar of shocking roar, and the shells soared into the sky. The artillery soldiers participating in this battle will be unforgettable for life.

It is rare to see so many artillery fired at one volley, and it is the Chinese team itself, although there are many types of artillery and different calibers.

But this rare volley made everyone realize that artillery is known as the god of war, and its power lies in its concentrated use and covering strikes.

A single artillery does not have this momentum and damage effect.

But it is so difficult to achieve such an effect. There are not many large-caliber artillery in China, let alone concentrated use.

After this scattered shot, the Japanese army was stunned and had never encountered such a fierce shelling. Especially the opponent was still the Chinese team that they thought was not difficult to deal with?

In an instant, fires rose everywhere on the Japanese position, and violent explosions and powerful shock waves pushed simple fortifications. The Japanese position, which had no deep defense, instantly fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Three rounds of fire were shot down. The Japanese army's positions were full of broken limbs and broken arms, and some were still not dead. They looked at the sky with despair, as if there was no pain. The gurgling blood dyed the soil under them brightly red.

This time, the New 38th Brigade revealed its family's assets. The Japanese army was howling and howling, crying for their parents.

Colonel Takeshita Yoshiguchi, who was commanding this Japanese army, had his eyes turned red, and his shoulders could not help but tremble, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.

The Chinese army is too ruthless. Why do they have such powerful firepower? They have to wait until they get ashore before taking it out? If they come here and do this when they land, will they still have a chance to get ashore?

Heavy artillery, heavy artillery!

Yoshiguchi Takeshita was very regretful. In order to achieve the goal of a fast concealed raid, they did not carry heavy artillery this time, but only six Type 92 infantry cannons and six 75mm field cannons.

In his opinion, there were twelve artillery pieces that were enough to suppress the Chinese army's firepower. From his consistent understanding of the Chinese army, their troops were poorly equipped, and even some elite troops, the artillery was rarely equipped.

However, he encountered such a monster, whose number of artillery not only exceeded that of them, but also far surpassed that of the Japanese army.

Of course, the opponent's artillery shooting accuracy is too poor, which is much different from the elite Imperial Japanese Army, but this kind of coverage attack does not require accurate shooting.

So, he was in a tragedy.

"Arson, how come the Chinese army has so many artillery..." Niushima Man was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out after receiving a telegram from Takeshita Yoshiguchi.

How about half?

Niushima Man was already a little panicked. He originally decided that even if Yoshihiko Takeshita was not available, he would be able to last at least three days. By that time, he had rescued Takamoto's brigade and could free up his hands to rescue Yoshita Takeshita.

He never expected that Yoshihiko Takeshita was on the verge of defeat without even a day and a half.

what to do?

Niu Daoman thought of a way to make the Takamoto Brigade trapped in Huangshan Temple break out in the direction of Tongling Gate, and he attracted the firepower of the Zhongzhang team within the encirclement.

At this moment, there were less than four hundred people left in Takamoto's brigade, and the ammunition was almost consumed. After receiving the order from Niushima Man, he almost committed suicide in despair.

Isn't this asking him to die?

However, this is indeed a surprisingly good idea. If you can rush out, you may be able to go back alive.

"What, what, what, what are you saying? Lung Ben's brigade broke through the northwest direction. Did he stop it?" Luo Yufeng really didn't expect that the besieged Japanese army would use such a move, attacking the east and west, and breaking through the northwest direction.
