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

"Baga! You stupid pig!"

The angry captain Ichikawa Yozo slapped the captain hard, beating the captain dizzy.

"Hi Yi!" The unlucky captain was beaten, but he didn't dare to dodge, and he carried it bravely.

Seeing the smoke billowing in Ruichang County and the forward soldiers standing there in a state of distress, the captain of the regiment, Yozo Ichikawa, kicked the distressed captain hard.

"Go back and gather the troops!"

"Hi Yi!" The captain began to gather his wounded soldiers as if he had been pardoned.

The captain of the regiment, Yozo Ichikawa, wanted to rush into Ruichang County ahead of the rest of the troops, but he didn't expect that the unsatisfactory captain not only failed to win, but lost troops and generals, which made him very annoyed.

"Abusan, quickly clear the Chinese army in the city, our 145th Regiment must be the first to enter the city!"

Coalition Captain Ichikawa Yozo gave an order to Battalion Captain Abuda standing beside him.

"Hi!" Captain Abuda agreed confidently, but with the lessons learned from the past, he still asked, "Commander, I request artillery support."

Regiment leader Yozo Ichikawa nodded and said, "I will let the artillery brigade support you."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Captain." After finishing speaking, Captain Abu Da turned around and walked towards his own troops, preparing to launch an attack on Ruichang County.

Just as the 145th Regiment was actively preparing to attack Ruichang County for the first time, the head of the 111th Brigade also arrived at the north gate of Ruichang County. They also encountered resistance from the 302nd Regiment, and the attack was repelled .

"Call for artillery support!"

Major General Shan Chiheng, the head of the 111th Brigade, did not hesitate at all. Facing the Chinese army relying on the building complex for defense, he ordered viciously to cover and destroy the opponent with artillery firepower.

The 106th Division not only has an artillery unit directly under it, but also the commander of the 11th Army specially assigned the 52nd Mountain Artillery Regiment to fight with them in order to strengthen their offensive capabilities. The artillery firepower is very powerful.

After Yang Ling and the others repelled the devil's attack, they had already expected that the devil would launch a crazy revenge. After all, they had fought countless battles with the devil, so they retreated one after another to prevent the shelling.

"The devil is firing!" Just as Yang Ling and the others retreated to defend against the shelling, a brother suddenly shouted.

Countless sharp whistling sounds came from the sky, and shells of various calibers smashed down towards Ruichang County.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

Continuous explosions sounded like muffled thunder, and the whole city jumped suddenly as if it had been hit by an earthquake, and then black and red flames rose into the sky.

A strong explosion wave was stirring in the county seat. Amidst the violent tremors, tiles and bricks flew across, smoke and dust piled up, and the entire county seat was covered by billowing thick smoke.

The devil's bombardment was ferocious and intense, and the smoke and dust from the explosion covered the sky over the city, turning it gray. Pieces of streets were blown into ruins, rotten wood flew across the air, and windows and wooden doors were blown to pieces.

The small city of Ruichang County was shaken by the ferocious bombardment. Houses collapsed and turned into rubble. The fire blazed and many places were razed to the ground.

Although Yang Ling and the others had expected the devil's bombardment, they did not expect it to be so violent. They were like a boat swaying in a stormy sea, and they might capsize at any time.

The brothers' ears were half-deaf from the deafening roar, and the choking smoke drifted over, making them feel tight and short of breath.

Faced with the bombardment of the 106th Division of the Devils, the entire Ruichang County was plunged into a sea of ​​gunpowder and flames. The bustling neighborhoods became rubble and ruins, and raging fires were ignited in many places.

Black pillars of smoke rose from all over the city. Looking at the city trembling under the shelling, the devil soldiers outside the city showed no expression at all. They wished they could be blown to pieces.

"Kill and change!"

As soon as the sound of the guns stopped, Ichikawa Hirozo, the captain of the 145th Regiment, who couldn't wait to take the first place, drew his saber, and a brigade of devils rolled forward like locusts and rushed towards the smoke-shrouded Ruichang County.

"Attack!" The head of the Major General of the 111th Brigade in the north of the city was not far behind, and more than 1000 devils also armed with bayonets, rushed towards Ruichang County, all wanting to compete for the first place.

The devil's artillery stopped, but the ears of the brothers were still buzzing. In the hazy gunpowder smoke, the east and north blocks in front of them had been reduced to ruins by the shelling.

"You bastard, you really think highly of us." Qin Shou and the others felt lingering fear as they looked at the burning ruins.

If they ran a step slower just now, they would have been blown to ashes under the impact of artillery fire just like those houses that were bombed down.

"Get ready to fight, the devils are coming up!" The violent shelling of the devils made Yang Ling and the others realize that this battle might not be so easy to fight.

When they first got the task of holding on for two hours, they were relatively optimistic. Now it seems that the 106th Division has all pressed up, and the pressure on their shoulders has increased sharply.

However, the military order is like a mountain. They must hold the devils here to cover the transfer of the main force. If the main force is stuck by the 106th Division, the loss will be great. Sometimes, someone must stay and sacrifice to take care of the overall situation.

The sound of gunfire soon rang out in the ruins, and those little devils who thought that the Chinese officers and soldiers were wiped out by artillery fire were hit head-on, and the bullets fired from the ruins harvested the devil soldiers in pieces.

Many paralyzed ghost soldiers paid enough price. When the troops who heard the gunshots and rushed to support arrived, they had already become corpses in a pool of blood.

"Baga! Pursue!" Facing the Chinese officers and soldiers who left with one blow, the angry devil soldiers began to pursue in the ruins.

But Yang Ling and the others didn't fight the devils head-on. Instead, they relied on the ruined buildings to fight with the devils, constantly nibbling away the devil soldiers entering the city. They just needed to stall for time.

Text 5Chapter 16 Evacuation

The devils scrambled into Ruichang County, wanting to grab the credit for capturing Ruichang again, but they didn't know that Ruichang County, which was blown into ruins, was full of traps and became dangerous.

Yang Ling and the others knew very well that they would definitely suffer losses if they wanted to confront these powerful devils head-on, so in order to avoid the unnecessary sacrifice of their brothers, they started a guerrilla street fight in the ruins to delay time.

The brothers scattered among the ruins in groups of three or five to hide, firing sniper shots at the devil's search troops from time to time.

A squad of devils was carefully searching forward along the rubble-strewn ruins. The houses on both sides of the street were only charred walls. The roofs were destroyed by the artillery fire and turned into open-air patios.

The two devil soldiers rested their guns on their shoulders, covering each other and kicked open the half-covered charred wooden door. With a loud crash, the wooden door fell to the ground, billowing a cloud of smoke and dust.

Holding a gun, a devil cautiously leaned out half of his body and looked into the house. He saw that the house was burnt black, and was about to step back when the gunshot rang out.

"boom!"

A bullet flew over from a high place, puffed into the devil's shoulder, and splashed a cloud of blood.

"Ah!" The wounded devil howled like a pig, rolling on the ground.

"There are people from China!" The dozen or so devils around reacted quickly, and they all looked for concealment and lay down, raised their guns and swayed around, looking for a place to shoot.

A devil wanted to drag his injured companion who was rolling on the ground behind the wall, but just as he leaned out, the gunfire rang out again.

"boom!"

The ghost who ran over staggered, a fountain of blood spurted from his neck, and fell to the ground convulsively.

Seeing another soldier being overturned, the leader of the Devils Division cursed angrily: "Baga! Lu!"

However, two consecutive shots had exposed a Chinese officer and soldier lying on the broken wall not far away, and the devils raised their guns and started shooting.

"Da da da..." The devil's machine gun also roared, sending mud and dust flying across the wall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Chinese officer jumped off the broken wall and ran towards the ruins in the distance.

"Kill him!"
