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

Inside the telescope, black smoke billowed from the ruined walls into the sky, countless houses were burning in the flames of war, and dense gunshots and explosions came from the city from time to time.

"How long will it take to end the battle in the city?"

After putting down the binoculars, the devil's commander, Akamatsu Yamaguchi, turned to ask the haggard combat staff officer.

The combat staff replied with some helplessness: "Your Excellency, Captain, we have divided and surrounded the remnants of the Chinese army in the city, but their resistance is very tenacious, and the number of them is greater than our intelligence knows, so we must completely eliminate the Chinese army in the city. It will take a while."

"More people than intelligence knows?"

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu frowned and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain, according to the information sent back from the troops fighting with the China Army, there are at least four battalion-level troops of the China Army in the city. They should be the main force of the China North Subei Guerrilla Corps." serious.

"Isn't the main force of the China Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps in the area south of Baoying?" Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu was full of doubts.

"I'm afraid that what Watanabe's detachment is besieging is just a small group of China's army that attracts attention. What we are facing is the main force of the China's army." The combat staff said his guess.

After hearing this, Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu pondered for a while, and felt that there was still such a possibility.

The information they got was that there was only one battalion of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla garrison in Huaiyin City. It stands to reason that under the surprise attack of their one brigade, the battle had already ended.

However, the current battle in the city is still in a stalemate. The opponent has not been defeated, and still maintains a tenacious fighting power. This is indeed far from the known information.

Thinking that his opponent has become the main force of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's back felt chilly.

If it hadn't been for one's own party who caught the other party by surprise during the night raid, judging from the current tenacious resistance in the city, it is really hard to say who will win. After all, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has a precedent of annihilating an infantry brigade.

"The people in the intelligence services are such a bunch of idiots—"

Thinking of this, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu couldn't help cursing in a low voice, he was almost tricked by the intelligence department.

"Your Excellency Captain, don't worry. Although there are more Chinese soldiers in the city than we thought, their main force has already been defeated by us and fled. At this moment, only a few scattered small groups of troops are stranded in the city. We will soon be able to control the entire army." City." The combat staff officer comforted.

After hearing the words of the combat staff officer, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's face eased a lot, and this is not a blessing in disguise.

They thought that there was only one garrison battalion of the Subei Guerrilla Corps stationed in the city, but now they defeated the opponent's main force by accident. It must be said that their luck was exceptionally good.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, which was a headache for the headquarters, if they were defeated and wiped out.

The Watanabe detachment heavily encircled and suppressed the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, but suffered heavy losses. With a mere infantry brigade, it defeated the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps.

Comparing the two, it undoubtedly appears that he is more heroic, but in contrast to the incompetence of the Watanabe detachment.

And now the commander of the Watanabe detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, was shot dead by the guerrillas in Baoying. If he can make meritorious service this time, he might be able to be promoted one step, turning the Watanabe detachment into the Yamaguchi detachment.

"Order all the troops in the city to intensify their attacks, clear out the remnants of the Chinese Army in the city, and make sure to end the battle before dark."

Now Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu can't wait to take Huaiyin and report the victory to the headquarters.

"Hay!"

After the devil's messenger paused heavily, he immediately ran down the mound to convey the order.

At this moment, dozens of disheveled ghost cavalry rushed towards the mound in the distance.

The devil's commander, Akamatsu Yamaguchi, turned his head and looked at the cavalrymen who were running towards them. Seeing that they were covered in blood and their clothes were torn and dirty, he couldn't help frowning.

This cavalry squadron was temporarily deployed to their infantry brigade to strengthen their brigade.

He had previously given the cavalry squadron an order to go around to the north of the city to intercept the retreat route of the guerrillas in the city, but now he came back with a disheveled appearance, which made Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's expression uncontrollable. sank.

The blood-stained cavalry squadron leader thought it was an easy task, but who knew that they underestimated the enemy and suffered heavy injuries, so they had to retreat now.

The squadron leader of the cavalry got off his horse, and quickly ran up the mound with shame on his face, and stood still in front of the captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

"What happened, why are you in such a mess?" Looking at the blood-stained cavalry squadron leader, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu asked calmly.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we encountered a large group of Chinese troops in the north of the city. We... We were invincible and had to retreat." The cavalry squadron leader bowed his head heavily, and said with shame on his face.

"How many people are there in the China Army?" Yamaguchi Chimatsu was also startled, and asked hastily.

The cavalry squadron leader hesitantly reported: "At least the size of an infantry battalion..."

"idiot!"

Hearing that the other party was only the size of an infantry battalion, the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu couldn't help but slapped the cavalry squadron leader, causing the cavalry squadron leader to stagger.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu said angrily: "A mere infantry battalion has beaten your cavalry squadron to nothing. You have completely disgraced our Imperial Japanese Army! You are ashamed of His Majesty's trust!"

"Hi!" The commander of the cavalry squadron was also full of grievances when he was scolded by the commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi.

"Captain, their fighting power is amazing..." the cavalry squadron leader wanted to explain.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu didn't want to hear his explanation, he directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and ordered viciously: "Now I order you to bring your people back to kill and wash away the shame!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, the strength of the Chinese army is stronger than we imagined. The cavalry squadron has just suffered a defeat. Let them temporarily rest and replenish before launching an attack. What do you think?" At this moment, the combat staff had to stand up to smooth things over for the cavalry The squadron's failure was excused.

The captain of the cavalry squadron saw that the combat staff officer stood up to speak in time, and couldn't help but give him a grateful look at his old classmate.

"Hmph!" Commander Yamaguchi Chimatsu snorted coldly, and said to the cavalry squadron leader, "Go down and wait for orders."

"Hi!"

After the defeated cavalry squadron leader responded, he immediately took his men to rest in a desperate manner.

"Send a report to the headquarters that our army attacked Huaiyin and encountered the main force of the North Subei Guerrilla Corps of China. Our army fought bloody battles. At this moment, it has been defeated and the remnants of the enemy are being eliminated in the city. However, our troops are insufficient. A small group of China's defeated troops fled north. Tactical guidance to the troops, giving it a devastating blow."

The cavalry squadron retreated after losing the battle. After thinking about it for a while, the commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi felt that the pressure on them would be much less if the aviation unit sent fighter planes to assist in the battle.

"Hay!"

Text Chapter 210, [-]: Having Fun in Bitterness

The devils' attack in the city stopped temporarily. Although the gunfire stopped, there were no devils searching and clearing the houses under the cover of grenades.

But the brothers hiding in the ruins did not let down their vigilance, because they knew that the devils were hiding behind the bunkers and broken walls more than a hundred meters away from them, and they did not leave, ready to pounce on them at any time and tear them to pieces.

The devils were indeed as guessed by these blood-covered, charred brothers, they just suspended their attack, and in the dead atmosphere, they were gestating a new round of attack.

The devil commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu knew that what they encountered might be the main force of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, and it was like meeting an opponent. While making Yamaguchi Akamatsu excited, he also wanted to kill the opponent in one fell swoop in a better state, instead of falling into an endless battle. consume.

Therefore, the devil soldiers temporarily stopped attacking, but they did not leave the line of fire. They rested in their positions to replenish their strength.

The devil soldiers are all recharging their energy, preparing to give a thunderous blow to the guerrilla officers and soldiers hiding in the ruins.

Boxes of ammunition were transported from outside the city into the city, and distributed to the devil soldiers who had little ammunition left.

The devils transported almost all heavy weapons except the 75mm mountain cannon to the line of fire in the city, aimed at the buildings suspected of hiding guerrillas, and began to adjust the shooting parameters.
