Looking at the few devil soldiers who were scared out of the urine, a group of brothers laughed, and the resentment of many years was thrown out of the clouds in this laugh, once upon a time, these devil soldiers were rampant on the land of China, and five or six Kuomintang soldiers could barely deal with a devil soldier with a big cover, the 79th Army Independent Brigade, the predecessor of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army Independent Brigade, fought bloodily with the devils around Luodian and Nanjing in Shanghai, how many heroic brothers died on the battlefield, how many brothers died under the devil's bayonets, guns, shells, artillery fire, and poisonous gas, And those ordinary people who were strung with wire by devils in the city of Nanjing and escorted to the Xiaguan wharf to be slaughtered, if you have a spirit in heaven and see the current virtue of the little devil, I am afraid you can close your unyielding eyes, after eight years, the Chinese who have suffered a lot have finally seen the hope of victory, and they can finally drive these Japanese devils out of China.
At the moment when the fat man led a regiment and Xiao Zheng's three regiments of men and horses to completely annihilate the remnants of the devils who intercepted and surrounded, the two devil brigades from Hangzhou and Shanghai, twenty miles in front of Lijiawan, were attacking the blocking position held by Lao Xu, Lao Xu's brothers suffered heavy casualties, and many of the front-line blocking companies lost most of them, and some even killed the entire company and platoon on the blocking position.
Zhou Wu, who received the news that Lao Xu's situation was not good, immediately personally took a brigade of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei and a mobile regiment reinforced by the old commander of the 79th Army.
The attacking Devil Brigade found that the New Fourth Army in the direction had been reinforced, and the attack on the various positions of the Devils was blocked, so they ordered their little devils to suspend the attack and rest for a while to fight again.
At this moment, their commander received a telegram from Shunroku Hata, the headquarters of the Nanjing Front, claiming that the Yamada Brigade had successfully broken through from the north of Lijiawan and was now turning south to return to Nanjing, and had already contacted the devil team sent out from the direction of Taizhou, and that the reinforcement mission of your unit had been completed and that they would immediately return to their respective stations.
As soon as the Devil's Brigade received the news that the Yamada Brigade had broken through, it immediately ordered its two brigades, except for a small part of the Devil's Brigade, to continue to attack Lao Xu's position, so as to confuse Zhou Wu and them and prevent the New Fourth Army from pursuing them, while the Devil's Brigade quietly turned around and retreated in the direction of Hangzhou and Shanghai in the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, this trick of the little devil can't hide from Zhou Wu's eyes, and the news from all over the country that the little devil has turned around and retreated south soon came to Zhou Wu's side, Zhou Wu and Lao Xu carefully analyzed it, and thought that these news should be correct, because these two devil brigades went deep from Jiangnan alone, and ventured north, the purpose was to rescue the Yamada Brigade trapped in the Lijiawan area, and now that the Yamada Brigade has broken through, then it makes no sense for them to continue to stay in the area, Unless you still want to be surrounded by our Jiangbei New Fourth Army again, but the devils will never be stupid to this point, their retreat is inevitable, since the devil's large army has retreated, then these small troops who came to attack are their broken back troops, Zhou Wu immediately ordered those teams under his command to immediately launch an encirclement and annihilation action against the devil's broken back troops, unable to eliminate your brigade and regiment large troops, against you broken devil small troops, our Jiangbei New Fourth Army is still very sure now.
Indeed, now there are a total of seven or eight thousand men and horses of Lao Xu's New Fourth Army near the town, plus a brigade of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army brought by Zhou Wu and a national regiment supported by the old commander of the 79th Army, the total strength has reached about 15,000 people, and the weapons are relatively advanced, especially the mobile regiment supported by the old army commander, which is an American-made carbine and a lot of mountain artillery mortars.
After the break, those devils have at most one devil brigade, fifteen or six hundred people, with an absolute numerical advantage of ten to one, if Zhou Wu can't destroy these little devils at this time, then he will be the commander of the independent brigade of the New Fourth Army.
Zhou Wu gave an order, more than 10,000 brothers of the New Fourth Army and the 79th Army Mobile Regiment launched a general attack from all directions towards the devil brigade after the break, the mountain artillery and mortars have been independent of the brigade of those small artillery smashed towards the devil formation, explosions came one after another, fire smoke rose up, covering most of the sky on the position, facing the New Fourth Army soldiers who rushed over like a tide, the small devils on the position were mostly killed on the position after desperately resisting, The remaining small group of about 100 little devils under the leadership of the captain of the devil brigade hastily abandoned the broken rear position and went south to catch up with his brigade, Zhou Wu received the news that there would still be more than 100 little devils who escaped south through the net, and immediately ordered Lao Xu: At all costs, completely and cleanly annihilate this devil brigade Lao Xu was also anxious, it was estimated that there were teams of the New Fourth Army in all directions, how could there be more than 100 little devils who escaped from the urgent investigation, and found that it was on the blocking position in the south, and there was a problem with a company on the defense, Lao Xu was furious, and he wanted to enforce battlefield discipline on the spot by the company commander who was guarding the position, but he was reminded by the brothers who came to report the situation: "Deputy brigade commander, all the brothers of that company have died on the position, and the team of those little devils who ran out originally had as many as four or five hundred people, It was on the corpses of the brothers of this company that they rushed out."
When Lao Xu heard this, his body shook suddenly, and his eyes moistened with indecision: What a lot of tenacious brothers, I almost blamed them, a company of more than 100 brothers held their positions to the death, all of them died, and eliminated three or four hundred fierce devils who desperately escaped, brothers, don't worry, if I Lao Xu hadn't chased those devils and killed them this time, I wouldn't have done it here in the New Fourth Army and went home to farm and watch for you Lao Xu immediately ordered the battalion closest to that position, asking them to catch up at all costs and block the devil team that was fleeing south, and ordered the battalion commander: "Catch up with the devil team, and block them, and give you credit, otherwise you, the battalion commander, will be the end."
At the same time, Zhou Wu and Lao Xu ordered Xiao Tianming to bring a regiment of troops to catch up, surround this devil team, and annihilate them, Zhou Wu said to Xiao and them: "Old Xiao, whether you can wipe out all these broken little devils this time depends on you, I believe you can complete the task victoriously."
When Xiao Tianming heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Luzao, don't worry, we have wiped out the team, even if we bite with our teeth, we will bite those devils to death."
Xiao Tianming knew that this was Zhou Wu's trust in the brothers of the original puppet army who had defected to him, and if he was there, who would hand over this task to a team that had just defected at this critical juncture Xiao Tianming immediately selected a group of capable brothers in his team, and personally led the team to hurry to the south.
After a forced march, the battalion under Lao Xu finally intercepted the devil soldiers who ran out twenty miles to the south, these hundred or so devil soldiers were also desperate, seeing that their retreat was cut off by the New Fourth Army, and rushed to the New Fourth Army of this battalion like crazy, the battalion commander who blocked the attack took his brothers to lie on the ground and desperately block the devils who rushed over, and suddenly killed and injured a lot of brothers, the battalion commander was anxious, pulled out the big knife behind his back, and shouted to his brothers: "Brothers rush up with me, Entangle these devils" More than 400 brothers and more than 100 devils desperately trying to break out of the siege fought together, the sonorous metal collision, the dull "flutter" sound of bayonets piercing into the human body, and the continuous sound of gunfire like fried beans constituted the main theme of this position, these devils are very tenacious, in the case of the number of brothers far less than the brothers of the independent brigade, they were not timid, and the brothers were tied, the two sides were on par, shouting and killing one after another, the soldiers on both sides were fighting to the death for their own beliefs, in the rice fields, Scuffling and rolling, the mud in the rice fields was all over their bodies, and their heads were full of muddy water, but these soldiers on both sides who were fighting desperately to the death had no scruples, thinking that they could put their opponents to death.
Suddenly, there was a charging horn behind the devil, and when the brothers who blocked the devil heard it, their spirits were lifted, and they shouted to the brothers: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill all these little devils."
Xiao Tianming's brothers finally arrived, in order to be able to get here in time, Xiao Tianming personally took a company of brothers to ride fast horses, and the remnants of the devils who were fighting with the brothers of the Independent Brigade saw a bunch of cavalry coming from their backs, and they panicked at that time, and hurriedly rushed towards the south.
But these devils thought wrong, Lao Xiao saw that those devils fled into the rice field, he didn't even blink his eyes, the first horse rushed to the rice field, although those horses were slow in the rice field full of water, but they were definitely faster than the legs of the little devils, Lao Xiao Tianming's cavalry brothers caught up with those fleeing devil soldiers, and beckoned to the devils with big knives, one by one, clean and neat, killing the little devils running around, the ghosts cried wolves, and they couldn't form an army, A few devils who ran back were killed by the brothers of the Independent Brigade who were waiting there as if they were shooting targets, and the devil soldiers who were shot fell straight down in the rice fields, splashing one after another, and the dirty blood soon stained the entire rice field.
Lao Xiao hacked to death a few devil soldiers who were still resisting on the horse, and suddenly found that there was a devil officer with an Oriental knife ten meters in front of him, which was probably the broken devil captain, and immediately slapped the horse's ass with the back of the knife, and the war horse neighed, and immediately rushed to the devil officer holding the Oriental knife. t1706231537:
