The northern suburbs of Yiwu, the lotus leaf pond.

Heyetang was originally the defensive position of the 2nd Railway Regiment to the Guards Division, but two hours ago, it was captured by the 370th Regiment of the 62nd Division of the National Army.

Almost immediately after the 370th Regiment occupied Heyetang, they received an order from the division headquarters, ordering that in addition to continuing to maintain pressure on the Japanese, their regiment should also seize the time to build a defensive position.

This order from the division headquarters made Lu Xing, the leader of the 370th Regiment, confused the mind.

However, Lu Xing was a hard-core confidant whom Zhang Lingfu dug up from the 74th Army and was absolutely obedient to Zhang Lingfu's orders, so even though he was very puzzled, he still strictly implemented the orders issued by the division headquarters.

After receiving the order, Lu Xing immediately sent a battalion to continue attacking the Japanese army. The remaining two battalions were based on the Japanese fortifications in Heyetang and began to seize the time to repair the fortifications.

As a result, several main battlefields were repaired just now, and the Japanese Guard Division launched a large-scale counterattack.

After receiving the report, Lu Xing immediately climbed to the top of the observation post and looked forward. He didn't need a telescope at all. He could clearly see that the black Japanese soldiers were rushing over the mountains and fields with bright bayonets. Judging from this posture, the Japanese were obviously fighting back with all their might and preparing to break through!

"Communication officer, communication officer!" Lu Xing immediately shouted.

The communication platoon leader immediately ran to Lu Xing.

"Tell me the order." Lu Xing said sternly, "Each battalion, company, platoon, defend its positions to the death. Without my order, no one is allowed to attack without authorization, and no one is allowed to attack!"

...

The 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion and various direct companies of the 370th Regiment still have the opportunity to switch to defense, but the 1st Battalion, which is in an offensive state, has no time to switch to defense.

Seeing the black Japanese coming up like a tide, his own battalion was soon flooded, the first battalion commander quickly ordered the troops to scatter and find trenches and bunkers.

A squad leader hid in a trench with more than 30 officers and soldiers in the class.

As a result, just as he hid, the black Japanese rushed up like a tide.

Faced with hundreds or even thousands of Japanese soldiers, the officers and soldiers of this squad were inevitably a little panicked.

Only the squad leader was calm because he had received orders from his superiors before the attack, so he had a clear idea.

When the shift leader yelled: "Don't panic, don't be confused, don't care about the wings, don't care about the wings, concentrate all the firepower for me to block the front and lock the front!"

At the command of the squad leader, the only M1919 light machine gun in the class, plus more than 30 Galand fully automatic rifles, opened fire and poured dense rain of bullets on the Japanese soldiers who were rushing in.

In an instant, the Japanese who were swarming in fell down in rows.

After being hit by this sudden blow, although the Japanese did not stop attacking, they still, driven by instinct, began to detour towards the blank area of ​​firepower on both wings.

Due to insufficient firepower, this class can only block the front.

Seeing that the Japanese had already detoured from the left and right wings, when the squad leader was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, he was shocked to find that the Japanese had actually crossed them directly and walked towards a deeper distance, left, right!

Less than a quarter of an hour, at least a thousand Japanese rushing towards the front.

Although after the Japanese passed by, they chased them with firepower and piled up dozens of them.

But more Japanese broke through and ran away soon, disappearing behind the ridge.

More than 30 officers and soldiers in the class looked at each other, with the blessing of escaping from death and the confusion in their heads. Are the Japanese blind? They even ignored them who were so close to each other?

"Squad leader, are you chasing me?" asked a veteran.

The squad leader shook his head and said, "Don't chase after me, stay honestly!"

Facts have proved that the decision not to chase was correct, because shortly after the first group of Japanese soldiers broke through, another group of Japanese soldiers rushed in from the front, and at least thousands of people were there!

If they were chasing them just now, they would be beaten by the Japanese biting their butts.

This problem does not exist now, just wait for the Japanese to come to the door!

...

The same scene continues to happen on all fronts of the entire battlefield.

During this breakout, the Guard Division dispatched all personnel. Iida Shojiro even organized more than a thousand doctors and nurses from the field hospital to form a temporary infantry brigade.

Nearly 40,000 people were divided into thirty-nine infantry brigades and broke through separately!

The order given to the various infantry brigades was to break through separately, wait until they broke through the encirclement and meet with friendly troops before counterattacking. Note that the old Japanese command was not to keep moving towards Hangzhou, but to fight back after the breakthrough was successful!

After the order was issued, Iida Xiangjiro followed the guard brigade and chose a direction to launch a breakthrough.

By this time, Iida Xiangjiro's division and regiment headquarters had actually lost its command function, and the subsequent battles could only be fought by various brigades, squadrons and even squadrons.

As for what it can be played in the end, only God knows.

...

Zhong Yi also lost command of all participating troops.

The last order issued by Zhong Yi was to let all the participating troops fight themselves, the battalions fight themselves, the companies fight themselves, the platoons fight themselves, and even the squad fight themselves, and then choose an appropriate time to launch a pursuit to the Japanese army.

As for how to choose this right time, it can only rely on the grassroots commanders.

The only thing Zhong Yi could do was to let the participating divisions repair the fortifications in advance before the Japanese Guard Division broke through in a large scale, so as to withstand the first counterattack of the Japanese Guard Division and the divisions to aid each!

Zhong Yi can't control the rest of the things that come later, nor can he have the ability to control them anymore!

Because after the order was issued, Zhong Yi had lost command of the troops.

The only thing Zhong Yi can do now is to order all the 1st Aviation Division to dispatch and provide air support to the participating divisions as much as possible, but this support is limited.

After giving the order, Zhong Yi said to Yu Liangzhen: "Master, I'll go to bed for a while. Regardless of the outcome, I don't have to wake me up before I come out."

After saying that, Zhong Yi turned his head and walked into the lounge and lay down.

Soon, thunderous snoring sounded again in the lounge.

Tao Guang, Xuan Tiewu, Yang Bufei and others looked at each other again.

Isn't it? At this time, the surname Zhong can still sleep?

Is this guy pretending to be calm, or did he give up on himself even though he knew there was no hope for this battle?

Xuan Tiewu subconsciously wanted to follow in and wake Zhong Yi up, but asked Yu Liangzhen to stop him.
Chapter completed!
