Base System of Bashu Heroes

At this time, intensive gunfire sounded from the positions outside the village. The Japanese infantry following the Sakura Death Squadron heard the gunshots in the village and began to attack the outer positions. The Liujiayao position was attacked from both inside and outside, and was caught off guard.

It suddenly fell into chaos, and every company's position was in disarray.

Gao Minshan, who returned to the battalion headquarters, already had a premonition that this battle would be unlucky. While notifying confidential personnel to destroy important documents, he frowned and said to the radio operator: "Urgently send a report to the regiment. The Liujiayao position has suffered an unknown attack."

The army attacked violently and asked for troops to be sent for support."

The radio operator did not dare to neglect and immediately informed the regiment of the situation at Liujiayao's position.

Because wireless intercoms were often captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield and the Japanese army obtained important information from the intercoms, under the advice of the scholar, Chen Jiaqi and others, only division and brigade level officers were deployed, and the regiment and battalion level headquarters remained.

Use a traditional transmitter.

After notifying the regiment headquarters of the situation at Liujiayao's position, Gao Minshan glanced at everyone. The military situation was urgent, and he had forgotten all the words he had planned to say to boost morale. Liujiayao's gunfire came one after another. With the help of weak

Under the bright moonlight, green figures were everywhere in the village. Gao Minshan's heart tightened. There was only one platoon in the battalion headquarters. He knew that the fall of the battalion headquarters was inevitable. Instead of fighting to the death, it was better to withdraw to the outside positions and wait for reinforcements.

After making up his mind, Gao Minshan ordered the communication soldiers: "Inform the first company and the second company to gather at the kiln entrance position of the third company. They must reach the kiln entrance position within 15 minutes."

"Yes!" The signal soldier responded and ran away to inform all the personnel of the camp at Gaomin Mountain to break out of the village.

As soon as Gao Minshan left the camp headquarters, he was immediately pressed to the ground by several submachine gun blasts from outside. He was unable to move, and the point of impact was getting closer and closer, only a few dozen centimeters away from his head. The two Japs jumped up under the cover of fire...

…

The red-eyed Gao Minshan took up the assault rifle and fired a long shot regardless of the danger. The two Japanese were beaten to pieces like a honeycomb. The guard platoon leader Zhang Xiao gathered the guard platoon and rushed up from behind. The soldiers continued to fight as usual.

The same thing happened, with assault rifles and general-purpose machine guns in front of them clearing the way, and soldiers in the back holding bright bayonets and rushing forward. Gao Minshan shouted in a bad voice: "Don't rush, everyone lies down..."

It was too late, and several Japanese submachine guns swept past like a fierce wind. Several soldiers behind Zhang Xiao fell down like chopped sorghum...

"Damn..." Gao Minshan roared wildly, tears welling up in his eyes. He waved his hand and swept the assault rifle in a fan pattern. The Japanese special forces members relied on cover to fight back, and the gun battle became a confrontation.

Zhang Xiao, the guard platoon leader, directed two machine gunners to use firepower to suppress the Japs. Panting, he climbed to Gao Minshan and said, "Batalion Commander, the way back is also blocked. The Japs are coming up from behind."

Gao Minshan was shocked: "Damn, do the devils have wings? These devils are really extraordinary..."

Zhang Xiao's eyes also turned red: "Battal Commander, I will lead a squad and several people from the battalion headquarters to charge and clear a bloody path for you."

Gao Minshan shouted: "No! Stop talking. These Japanese are extremely capable in combat. A purposeless charge will only lead to sacrifice in vain. Let me think about it."

At this time, there was loud gunfire from behind, and Nakamura Koichi's special forces had occupied most of the village. Lao Wang, the cook at the battalion headquarters, was holding a crooked machine gun that had been captured before and was sweeping the place. The grooms, correspondents, and radio operators from the battalion headquarters were sweeping the place.

They all held their guns and relied on the terrain to form a rear blocking line. The situation was extremely urgent. There were enemies in front and behind. Gao Minshan had a taste of being attacked from both sides today.

Gao Minshan tore off his clothes and let himself wake up in the cold wind. He knew that all the soldiers were counting on him now, and he must not be irritable. Since the day he joined the Sichuan Army, he has never encountered such a dangerous situation. Today is considered a dangerous situation.

Caught up.

Based on experience and the sound of gunshots, I can tell that there are not many Japs in front, but they are all masters of street fighting. Since the Japs want to take the back route, they must focus their troops on the front, with their pockets open for you to get through. I am breaking out from behind.

He gave the order: "Machine gun cover, everyone with bayonets fixed, civilian personnel carrying the wounded on their backs, the rest of the people charge against the Japanese, those who rush out gather at the entrance of the kiln and prepare."

Two general-purpose machine guns and several assault rifles fired. The remaining 30 or so cadres and soldiers shouted and turned around to face the Japanese and made a tragic attack. In an instant, the crossfire of submachine guns formed a dense barrage. Another barrage.

Seven or eight soldiers fell down, and the remaining soldiers were pinned to the ground by the fire. Gao Minshan's eyes were on fire, he pushed away the machine gun shooter, raised the machine gun and shouted: "Mom, let's fight..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xiao, shirtless and holding a bazooka rocket launcher, leaping out of the hidden low wall and jumping onto the roof. Gao Minshan was stunned at the sight of it. The Japanese army's marksmanship on the opposite side was almost miraculous. At this time, he jumped onto the roof.

It was tantamount to suicide. It was too late for Gao Minshan to stop it. He only heard Zhang Xiao yelling: "You little devil, I'm going to kill your grandma..."

At the same time as Zhang Xiao's words fell to the ground, several submachine guns were aimed at him. The 11.43mm bullets fired by the Thompson submachine gun immediately made his body a bloody mess. A miracle happened. Zhang Xiao pulled the trigger of the bazooka the moment he was shot.

With the trigger, the high-explosive bomb fired by Bazooka drew a beautiful arc-shaped parabola in the air and flew straight into the Japanese army group 100 meters away. When Zhang Xiao fell, there was a loud sound of landslides and ground cracks.

, a powerful shock wave passed by like a hurricane. The wooden houses on both sides were like toys made of cardboard, and the Japanese special forces members all flew into the air. In an instant, broken bricks and tiles and the broken limbs of the Japanese rained down.

They fell one after another, and suddenly a small square appeared in the vision of the soldiers. The road to breakout was opened. The remaining soldiers carried the wounded on their backs and roared out of the village...

Liujiayao was attacked, and the Thirteenth Division of the Japanese Army pressed against the Mengcheng line. This was completely beyond Liu Tianchu's expectation. The Japanese Army's goal was Xinyang, and Huangchuan was their main attack direction. Why should they go all out to get through it?

Mengcheng's front line? Liu Tianchu was puzzled. Could it be that the Japanese army wanted to make a detour? Given the madness of the Japanese army, it was entirely possible to do so. This could be seen from the arrogance of the Maruyama brigade in not marching according to the designated route.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianchu gave a helpless smile. In this Wuhan battle, one division of the Japanese army dared to attack several armies of the national government, and it was invincible. The targets that the Japanese army wanted to capture were almost unfavorable. The 13th Division intended

After breaking through Mengcheng and attacking Huangchuan and Xinyang from the flanks, Tanaka Shizuichi's move was obviously aimed at the Sichuan army, intending to avenge the defeat of the Huaihe River. Liu Tianchu secretly laughed in his heart, the troops were so petty in fighting, caring about personal gains and losses. 13

The division had already launched an attack, and he had no reason not to accept it. He immediately ordered the Langyi Division and Feng Huaizhu Division near Liujiayao to march to Mengcheng to block the attack of the Thirteenth Division.

The early morning sun shone on the kiln entrance position, casting a golden glow. Gao Minshan, who led a dozen survivors from Liujiayao to evacuate to the kiln entrance position, received an order from the regiment headquarters: they must defend the kiln entrance position for 24 hours to stop the Thirteen

The division's advance troops buy time for the entire division to organize defense. An armored battalion of the armored division is already on the way for reinforcements. When the situation is critical, air support can be called.

The armored battalion will arrive soon, and there will be air support. Gao Minshan's confidence greatly increases. After receiving the order from the regiment headquarters to hold on to the kiln entrance, Gao Minshan immediately counted the casualties. Because the order to retreat was timely, in addition to the heavy casualties from the battalion headquarters, each company

There were not many casualties, and Gao Minshan felt a little relieved.

In the temporary command post at Yaokou, Gao Minshan raised his binoculars to observe the Japanese army on the opposite side. Because they were suddenly attacked last night, the number of the enemy was unknown. Now he could see clearly. Judging from the Japanese army's tents and the amount of smoke rising,

There were two brigades of the Japanese army opposite, and in the two huge tents on one side of the tent, the soldiers entering and exiting were dressed differently from the Japanese army infantry. Like themselves, they wore grass-green training uniforms.

Gao Minshan seemed to understand that these soldiers with strong combat qualities must be the Japanese Sakura Death Squadrons that Li Dayong often mentioned. After knowing this situation, Gao Minshan took a breath and secretly rejoiced that last night was really dangerous. He immediately reported the situation to the regiment headquarters.

.

After learning of this situation, Liu Tianchu immediately informed Li Dayong, and Li Dayong's eyes immediately lit up: "Military seat, is the information accurate?" Li Dayong couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Tianchu replied: "It should be accurate. I encountered this unit when we forcibly crossed the Huaihe River. This unit belonged to the Thirteenth Division. It is now known that the one who attacked Mengcheng was the Thirteenth Division, and the one who attacked Liujiayao should be Sakura."

Suicide Squad.”

After confirming that it was the Sakura Suicide Squad, Li Dayong lowered his head and began to think deeply. Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Liu Tianchu asked: "What are you thinking about? Want to meet the Sakura Suicide Squad in Liujiayao?"

Li Dayong shook his head: "A meeting is necessary. The best way to deal with special forces is special forces, but I will not go to Liujiayao. Nakamura Koichi's Sakura Death Squadron will not be used in positional warfare. I am thinking, what will he do next?

Where was the target of the attack?"

Liu Tianchu opened his mouth in surprise: "You mean, Nakamura will attack the next target?"

Li Dayong nodded without a doubt: "Surprise operations are the characteristics of the special forces, not to mention that he has two brigades as backup." Then he said to Liu Tianchu: "Military seat, please notify us immediately, and the division, brigade, and regiment level headquarters will strengthen security defense.

..." He paused and then said to Ronghua: "Adjutant Ronghua, from now on you will be in command of the security camp. We will guard the military headquarters 24 hours a day. Do not relax at all times."

Ronghua next to him still saluted and replied expressionlessly: "Yes! Don't worry, battalion commander, I will never leave the commander's side."
