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

After they arrived in Yichang by boat, they did not immediately go into battle. Instead, they rested and waited in a nearby village because they had been fighting in the previous stage and were very tired.

Major General Nara, head of the Devil's 26th Brigade, wanted to destroy the defense line of Yichang's outer defenders by his own strength, and then rushed into Yichang before the 3rd and 39th Divisions.

It is a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Facing the tenacious resistance of the Chinese defenders, their troops suffered heavy losses and have not yet broken through Yichang's outer defense line.

And now the vanguard of the 3rd Division has arrived in the north of Yichang, fighting with the troops of the Chinese 199th Division.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Major General Nara, the head of the 26th Brigade. If the 3rd Division was the first to attack the city, he would not be able to explain to their division commander.

Fortunately, I heard that the wolf squadron with strong combat effectiveness is nearby, so I immediately invited the wolf squadron to help them break through the front line of Tumenya and Yaqueling.

The Wolf Squadron is not affiliated with the 11th Army. They fought with the various units of the 11th Army this time for actual combat experience.

Now that there is an opportunity to go to the battlefield, Makino Guanyi will naturally not refuse, and the victory in the previous stage has given them a commendation, and they are eager to get more honors.

"Makino-san, this Chongqing army is different from the previous Chongqing army. They are well-equipped and extremely tenacious in their resistance. My two infantry regiments attacked in turn, but they failed to take their position."

Although Major General Nara, the head of the 26th Brigade, knew that their opponent was the Chinese 18th Army, an elite unit of the Central Army, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the defenders, so he suffered a big loss.

The 18th Army, as one of the attacking armies directly under the Military Commission, has more than one level of equipment better than ordinary troops, and its soldiers are also excellent.

Moreover, the 18th Division, their predecessors of the 11th Army, fought bloody devils on the Luodian battlefield in the Songhu Battle, and Luodian was also known as the Flesh Mill.

Faced with such a force that has come out of the flames of war, although the Devil's 26th Brigade belongs to the Type A division, if there is no cooperation from the aviation and heavy artillery units, it is still unclear who will die.

Makino Guanyi couldn't help but show contempt when he saw that the brigade commander, Major General Nara, defended the army so powerfully.

However, Major General Nara is the commander, and he still maintained enough humility as a major: "General, don't worry, our Wolf Squadron will definitely let you down!"

"Then I'll leave it to Makino-san." Seeing that Makino Kanichi was full of confidence, Major General Nara felt a little at ease.

"Makino-san, I've prepared meals to clean up the dust for you. After eating, you can follow the troops to launch an attack. What do you think?" Major General Nara said.

"General, let's come back for dinner after we take down the Chongqing Army's position."

Makino Kanichi rejected Major General Nara's proposal, he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield.

"That's good, I wish you all the best."

When Major General Nara saw the sharp-edged Makino Kanichi, an imperceptible dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he quickly covered it up with a smile. After all, they needed the help of the Wolf Squadron now.

"Hi!"

After Makino Kanichi stood up and saluted Major General Nara, the head of the 26th Brigade, he strode out of the command post.

Text 350 Chapter [-] Battlefield Sniping

The artillery shells flew over the positions of the 54th regiment of the garrison outside Yichang again with the howling sound of tearing the air, and the momentum was astonishing.

"Anti-cannon! Anti-cannon!"

The officers and soldiers of the 54th Regiment who were hiding in the broken trenches cursed and crawled to hide in the anti-battery holes. Many of them were directly thrown into the anti-battery holes by the air waves of the explosion.

The devils have already controlled the Yangtze River waterway in the lower reaches of Yichang, and a steady stream of weapons, ammunition and supplies are transported to the front line by water under the escort of gunboats.

The current devils can be said to have sufficient ammunition. In order to rush into Yichang before other troops, the 26th brigade of the devils also went all out. After an hour of artillery preparation, tons of shells poured on the 54th regiment The position on the line between Yaqueling and Tumenya.

All of a sudden, the defensive positions on the Yaqueling and Tumenya lines were covered by earth-shattering artillery fire, and the positions that had turned into a piece of scorched earth were turned upside down again. .

Although the anti-blasting holes are half-embedded in the ground, covered with crossbars and tamped with soil more than one meter thick, many of the anti-blasting holes were blown up in the face of the devil's fierce shelling, and countless remains were left behind. The broken limbs were blown up and flew around.

The officers and soldiers hiding in the anti-blasting holes seemed to be on a precarious ship, swaying left and right by the tremor force of the explosion.

Their ears were buzzing, and the falling sand quickly covered them with a thick layer of mud. Their noses and eyes were full of dust, and they were living earth-born grandchildren.

The officers and soldiers hiding in the bomb-proof cave no longer cared about cursing the little devil who wasted the shells. The choking smoke was pouring in from the gap in the quilt blocking the entrance of the bomb-proof cave, and there was a coughing crowd in the dark bomb-proof cave. Voice.

The observation post left outside had been blasted into several pieces by the devil's shells, and the bloody corpses were buried by the kicked up sand.

Looking at the Yaqueling and Tumenya positions shrouded in artillery fire, Major General Nara, the commander of the Devil's 26th Brigade, had a sneer on his cold face. Under such artillery fire, the Chongqing Army guarding the positions would definitely be destroyed. sex blow.

Thinking that their 26th Brigade would be the first to attack Yichang, he couldn't help being excited. As a soldier, there is nothing more proud than capturing an enemy's city.

When the commander of the Devil's 26th Brigade looked at the garrison positions covered in billowing gunpowder smoke in the command post behind and was sure of victory, in the front trenches, the Devil's infantry assault troops were ready.

The dark devil infantry all had their bayonets out of their sheaths. Looking around, the trench was completely bright. They squatted on the ground, waiting for the order to attack after the artillery fire stopped.

Among these devils' regular troops, the devil's major, Makino Kanichi, was fully armed, and led his wolf squadron to stare at the distant position with murderous intent, trying to tear the opponent to pieces like a very hungry wolf.

The devil's artillery fire turned the defensive positions of Yaqueling and Tumenya upside down. After the artillery fire plowed through, the entire position could not be seen clearly, and it was a mess.

"Kill Gaga!"

When the devils' officers at all levels heard the artillery fire, they pulled out their sharp sabers one after another and swung them forward fiercely. Like a tide, the devils rushed towards the defenders' positions from several directions.

The officers and soldiers of the defenders hiding in the air-raid shelter seemed to have passed for centuries before they felt that the ground had stopped shaking.

"The devil is coming up soon! Prepare to fight!"

The officers pushed aside the sandbags and quilts blocking the outside of the air-raid shelter. Through the thinning gunpowder smoke, countless devils with bayonets were rushing up, turning their heads and yelling at the officers and soldiers who were blown dizzy.

All the officers and soldiers suffered temporary deafness in their ears, but they are already veterans who have fought many battles with devils.

Seeing the actions of the officers, one knew that the devils were coming up, one by one grabbed their guns and rushed out of the air-raid shelter, and the officers and soldiers covered in mud one by one lay down, pulled the bolts of their guns, and began to aim at the fast-moving devil infantry .

"boom!"

"boom!"

First there were one or two muffled gunshots, some devils were shot and fell to the ground, followed by more gunshots, the devils were shooting, the defenders were shooting, the bullets flew across, the mud splashed, and the blood mist filled the air. .

"Da da da!"

"Teng Teng Teng-"

The light and heavy machine guns moved into the air-raid shelter soon began to roar, and the devil's grenade launchers and mortars immediately smashed over.

"Oh!"

More than a dozen tanks of the devil also crushed the mutilated corpses on the ground, and the chains spun blood and rushed upwards quickly, firing at various heavy fire points from time to time, causing casualties in the surrounding area as soon as one shot passed.

"Demolition team, prepare Molotov cocktails and grenades! Go up and blow up the devil tank!"

Seeing the Devil tanks charging up like a steel monster, the company platoon leaders on all the defense lines roared.

One by one, the officers and soldiers of the demolition team, holding Molotov cocktails and holding cluster grenades, rolled out of the position despite the hail of bullets, and rushed towards the devil's tank.

"Puff puff!"
