Check in from the bright sword

"Brother Li Gong, don't talk about it." Chu Yunfei said decisively, "I told you a long time ago, as long as it is anti-Japanese, no matter it is the Eighth Route Army or the Ninth Route Army, I, Chu Yunfei, will help out no matter what."

"The Eighth Route Army dares to defend Taiyuan to the death, and I, Chu Yunfei, will definitely accompany them!"

"I can't have people pointing at Chu Yunfei's spine behind my back and saying that the Jinsui army is a bunch of eggless cowards!"

Fang Ligong sighed when he heard the words, and stopped persuading him any more, because he knew that it would be useless to persuade him any more. Even Chief Yan would find it difficult to change Chu Yunfei's decision.

Chu Yunfei said: "However, since the mountain artillery company has been damaged, it should be transported back to the transport team of the Eighth Route Army. Company Commander Sun, you should go back too. You don't need to participate in the next Taiyuan defense battle."

"Yes!" Liu Jianxun raised his chest and raised his hand in salute.

Drum Tower, 386 Brigade Headquarters.

"Hey, hey hey hey"

"Hey, Xinyituan? Can Xinyituan hear you?"

"Hello, is the new second group? Please reply if you hear it?"

"Hello, independent group? Please reply if you hear it?"

Looking at the battered signal soldier, the brigade commander's face immediately collapsed.

Obviously, the traitor plainclothes team lurking around Taiyuan must be doing sabotage, cutting the telephone line between the brigade headquarters and the main regiment on the front line.

However, it doesn't matter.

The brigade commander immediately shouted: "Company Commander Yuan!"

Communication company commander Yuan Qinglin stepped forward and replied, "Yes!"

The brigade commander said: "Immediately send a cavalry messenger to get in touch with the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, and ask how the front line is doing?"

"By the way, bring back a walkie-talkie from the independent regiment."

"This thing doesn't need a phone line, so you can keep in touch at any time."

"Yes!" Yuan Qinglin replied, and hurried out of the Drum Tower.

Soon, more than a dozen correspondents left separately on military horses.

Watching the disappearance of more than a dozen correspondents, the brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief, wondering how the new second regiment was doing?

He wasn't worried about either the Independent Regiment or the New First Regiment. The only thing he was worried about was the New Second Regiment. Compared with the other regiments, the New Second Regiment's foundation was too poor, and it was difficult to improve its combat effectiveness all at once.

Chapter 324 Test

The new second regiment is facing a severe test.

The brigade commander placed the New First Regiment in Changning Town, and the New Second Regiment in the area of ​​Zhuangzi Township in Xiaodian County.

This was done firstly to protect the flanks of the New First Regiment, and secondly to reduce the pressure on the New Second Regiment.

Because the 41st Division of the Japanese Army went north along the Taichang Highway, the first-choice target must be the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment would at most be flanked by a small group of Japanese troops.

The brigade commander's judgment was basically correct.

The main attack of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army was indeed the new regiment.

However, after many attacks were frustrated, Shimizu ruled out the usual routine of the Japanese army, sending a partial division to cross the Migou in the southwest, and detour from the small valley between Liujiapo Village and Milan Village.

If it was just an infantry brigade, the New Second Regiment would still be able to withstand it.

However, the 41st Division sent too many partial divisions this time, and it was a wing.

Now the pressure on the New Second Regiment was great, and the head of the group, Kong Jie, even went to the front line in person.

"Commander, why are you here?" Guo Yuansheng, commander of the 1st Battalion, said, "It's dangerous here."

"Stop talking nonsense." Kong Jie said impatiently, "How is the situation now?"

"The situation is not optimistic." Guo Yuansheng's face collapsed, "The devil's offensive is too fierce."

While the two were talking, gunshots rang out again, and the devils attacked the new second regiment again.

Kong Jie hurriedly raised the binoculars. Through the field of vision of the binoculars, he could clearly see that a group of more than 50 devils with shining bayonets drew a sparse line of stragglers on the open plain. Pounced towards the position of the 1st Battalion of the New Second Regiment.

Kong Jie turned his gaze again, and saw a small hill on the right.

Move the field of vision further to the left, and you can also see a small hill on the left.

These two small hills, like two door gods, got stuck on the Japanese attack line.

But it's a pity that these two small hills have been occupied by the little devils.

Kong Jie's face darkened, and he pointed to the two hills and asked, "1st Battalion Commander, why didn't you seize these two hills? Why didn't you send troops to defend these two important commanding heights?"

"Leader, keep it." Guo Yuansheng said with a bitter face, "But in the end I didn't keep it."

"How did you fight this battle?" Kong Jie became angry, "Organize a counterattack immediately and take back the mountain! If you can't take back the mountain, I will shoot you, you bastard!"

"Yes!" Guo Yuansheng gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted, "1st company, 3rd company, assemble!"

Soon, more than 200 soldiers from the two companies gathered in the temporary repair trenches.

Guo Yuansheng said to Yang Kexin, commander of the 1st company: "Commander Yang, you are in charge of the hill on the left!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Yuansheng said to the soldiers of the 3rd company: "The 3rd company will follow me to the top of the mountain on the right! As soon as the sound of the cannons stops, I will charge for Lao Tzu. If you don't take back the mountain, you don't have to come back alive!"

"Yes!" More than 200 soldiers responded with a terrified expression.

Then, the two mortar companies of the New Second Regiment began shelling.

Dump rows of 90-caliber and 82-caliber grenades onto the front position.

The devil who was charging forward with a bayonet was blown upside down, so he quickly retreated.

Because this was originally just a tentative attack by the devils, then the devils also concentrated 12 75 mountain guns and 6 [-] infantry guns to suppress the artillery of the New Second Regiment.

The two mortar companies of the New Second Regiment immediately stopped shelling and moved.

Guo Yuansheng raised his pistol to the top of his head and yelled, "Brothers, go!"

The next moment, more than 200 soldiers from the two companies rushed out of the trench like tigers out of the box, and charged towards the two hills ahead.

At this time, the Japanese army had erected machine guns on two small hills.

In an instant, intensive machine gun fire poured down from the top of the mountain.
