    As the first batch of artillery shells roared towards the positions of the Chinese government troops, Shanxia Feng's long-suffering heart felt like a small window had been opened. He suddenly became enlightened and felt indescribable joy as he looked at the splashing water on Xiyun Peak.  Mu Mu, looking at the black smoke rising from the city of Duyun, His Excellency the Commander nodded and kept muttering "Go west, go west," while patting the young staff officer who was almost beheaded.  On his shoulder, he said, "Great! Let's work together in Missi Missi. (_-< Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work >-)**"

    The young staff officer who had been frightened half to death by the Commander could not figure out whether those words were true or fake. In front of this moody commander, the young staff officer was not at all in the mood to have breakfast with him.  After a meal, he would lose ten years of his life. He said "Hai, hai" in agreement, with a flattered expression on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about how to find an excuse to stay away.

    The first time the Japanese heavy artillery bombarded the city of Duyun, it was as if they had eyes. Guo Huawen's army headquarters was not near the shells, and there was nothing wrong with the material warehouses in the city. Commander Liu Zhi happened to be staying.  This place became the first target of Japanese artillery bombardment.

    Liu Zhi was sleeping soundly. His performance last night greatly satisfied his vanity. At the following press conference, he boasted again and again. Watching the spotlights flashing, Liu Zhi was fat.  His round face was full of expressions of complacency, and he did not see the gnashing expressions of the officers of the 19th Group Army in the audience. He did not see Guo Huawen's face, which was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.

    At the subsequent banquet, Liu Zhi was in high spirits. He drank until the glass was dry. He returned to the place where he stayed with satisfaction until he was drunk. Chu Tian did not attend such an occasion at all. In order not to cause trouble for Guo Huawen, he sent  Several soldiers put on the uniforms of the 19th Army and mingled in the venue, watching everything.

    Listening to the description of several soldiers who almost broke their hearts with laughter, Chu Tian smiled and shook his head while listening, and then reported the news of Liu Zhi's arrival in Duyun to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli called back, "Liu Zhi is here to take the credit.  Yes, ignore him. A new round of Japanese attacks should begin. Pay close attention to the battle in Duyun and report at any time."

    With several loud noises and a huge shock wave, all the glass in the room was shattered. Liu Zhi, who was sleeping soundly, jumped out of bed in fright. Before he could figure out what was going on, several more sounds followed.  There was a loud noise nearby, and the room suddenly trembled. Liu Zhi was knocked to the ground by the shock wave.

    Now I understand that the place where I stayed was under shelling, and the Japanese started to attack?  "Come here, come here quickly!" Liu Zhi shouted loudly, pulling his neck. Several guards rushed into the room. Several shells fell one after another. The fire was shining and the bricks and stones were flying. Liu Zhi saw with his own eyes that the one at the back was  The guard had most of his head lifted off by the roaring shrapnel.  **

    Dark red blood mixed with snow-white brains spurted out along the half-broken head. Immediately, the body of the guard fell heavily into the room. Liu Zhi was frightened. He stared with frightened eyes, his face turned pale, and he was trembling all over.  He was so paralyzed that he could not move. After serving as a soldier for more than twenty years, this was the first time he saw a soldier whose head was decapitated by a cannonball and died in front of him. The red and white colors were shocking before his eyes.

    Several guards lifted up the commander-in-chief and moved desperately to a safe place. Less than five minutes after they left, the room where Liu Zhi was staying was razed to the ground by a violent explosion.  Amidst the sound, Liu Zhi and several guards finally got into a basement.

    Seeing Liu Zhi's dazed look, his guard captain shouted loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, we are safe now." Liu Zhi's eyes finally brightened up, and his first words were, "Quickly order Guo Huawen to arrange the troops  "Protect me to evacuate," the guard captain said with a wry smile: "Commander-in-Chief, we'd better wait for the Japanese bombardment to end, it's too dangerous outside now!"

    Liu Zhi waited in the basement for two hours in fear before the Japanese shelling ended. When he got out, he saw that the city of Duyun had almost changed. There were ruined walls, rubble and masonry everywhere, and collapsed houses.  The citizens, who were still crying and wailing with flames and smoke, were frantically digging for their relatives in the rubble.

    Liu Zhi didn't care about all this. What he cared about was how to leave this terrifying place as soon as possible. Liu Zhi cursed himself in his heart, "It's so unlucky that the Japanese attacked me just after arriving in Duyun. Why bother?"  Come join in the fun and stay in Fuquan. It¡¯s so dangerous. This Guo Huawen wants to kill me.¡± Well, this matter is Guo Huawen¡¯s fault again. He doesn¡¯t even think about who asked him to come to Duyun.  Already?

    When we arrived at the group army headquarters, it was very busy inside. The staff officers were rushing in and out with nervous expressions. From a distance, they heard Guo Huawen shouting: "Headquarters security regiment and city defense troops immediately launched rescue operations throughout the city to put out the fire."  ,rescueInjured citizens, count the number of casualties. The Communications Department will immediately resume telephone contact with the Xiyunfeng *** Brigade. Hurry, I want to know the specific situation.  "

    Liu Zhi ignored this and said in a commanding tone: "Commander Guo, immediately arrange for your subordinates to escort the general headquarters to leave Duyun. I have to rush back to the command position to coordinate and command the overall battle." He finally found the best one.  High-sounding reasons and excuses.

    Guo Huawen put down the phone and looked at Liu Zhi, who was as ugly as a dead man and wearing pajamas with eyes full of panic, and said: "I'm sorry, Commander Liu, most of my troops have been engaged in the battle, and some of them are participating in the rescue in the city. No troops can be sent.  Come on, but I very much agree with the general headquarters evacuating Duyun City. After all, the commander-in-chief has a different identity and shoulders heavy responsibilities. How can he stay in such a dangerous place? "

    Liu Zhi ignored Guo Huawen's sarcastic tone. He did not want to stay in this unfortunate place for a minute. Under the disdainful eyes of Guo Huawen and all the staff officers at the 19th Army Headquarters, Liu Zhi drove through with his entourage.  The ruined city was littered with injured citizens moaning in pain and crying for their loved ones as they fled out of the city in a hurry, heading towards Fuquan.

    Those reporters from the Central News Agency who followed him didn¡¯t know whether Liu Zhi was just trying to escape and forgot about them, or whether they chose to stay voluntarily and did not leave. Their figures appeared in the streets and alleys of Duyun.

    Compared with the situation in Duyun City, the situation on Xiyun Peak was even more serious. The Japanese heavy artillery shells had flattened the positions, and it was impossible to tell where the trenches were and where the fortifications were. Chi Zifeng thanked Chu Tian for his suggestion and reinforced the deeper positions.  Most of the bomb-proof holes withstood the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery.

    However, all the telephone lines leading to the regiments and battalions were cut off, and the brigade headquarters lost contact with the troops below. Chi Zifeng did not know the current casualties of the troops. The only thing he could do was to fight against the turbulence.  In the brigade headquarters of the small boat, we waited for the Japanese bombardment to end.

    The soil on top of the hidden part of the brigade headquarters kept falling down, and the telephone placed on the shell box was knocked to the ground. Chi Zifeng realized that this time the Japanese shelling was worse than that time.  Fierce, this should be what Chu Tian said about the Japanese heavy artillery. "The little devil really made a fool of himself," Chi Zifeng said to himself.

    As soon as the Japanese bombardment ended, Chi Zifeng was the first to get out of the hiding place. He could not see the trenches and fortifications. He only saw huge craters everywhere and soldiers who emerged from the mud. They were covered in mud and their military uniforms could no longer be seen.  The original color, "Enter the position immediately, the Japs are about to attack," Chi Zifeng ordered, God knows where the position is.

    The soldiers of the ** brigade had no choice but to lie down on the hot and soft soil. Some clever soldiers were busy digging out the soil under their bodies. Soon, they became simple trenches. Although they could not block heavy machine gun bullets, they were better than  His body was exposed to the bullets of the Japanese army. At this moment, the remaining soldiers became enlightened and dug in one after another.

    Under Xiyun Peak, rows of Japanese soldiers' steel helmets reflected the dazzling halo in the sun. The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns responsible for cover roared wildly, and bullets penetrated the floating soil. From time to time, there were shots from the Central Army.  The soldier's body suddenly trembled, his head tilted and he closed his eyes. Dark red blood flowed from his body.

    A fierce battle began. The Japanese soldiers charged toward the main position of Xiyunfeng like crazy. The soldiers of the ** brigade had red eyes and gritted their teeth and shot desperately. Yamashita Fengwen was also crazy. He deployed the strength of two brigades at once and carried out  In the continuous group charge, the barrels of the Czech light machine guns of the ** Brigade were almost worn out.

    From morning to night, the sound of gunfire on Xiyun Peak almost never stopped. Chi Zifeng could not remember clearly how many Japanese charges he had repelled. He just kept receiving reports that a regiment commander was seriously injured.  The second regiment commander was killed, and several battalion commanders were killed. When darkness once again enveloped Xiyun Peak, the last Japanese attack was repulsed. Chi Zifeng made a visual inspection and found that the nearest corpse of a Japanese soldier was less than fifty meters away from the forward position.  .

    Taking a deep breath of the air full of gunpowder smoke, Chi Zifeng ordered: "Check the casualties, count the ammunition and weapons." The numbers were quickly reported. Chi Zifeng looked at the chief of staff in disbelief. It only took a day.  , the ** Brigade suffered more than 4,000 casualties, including more than 3,000 killed in action, and almost ran out of bullets and grenades. If the Japs attacked again, the ** Brigade would have no choice but to use bayonets.

    The Japanese army did not take advantage. Under the main position of Xiyun Peak, there were five to six thousand corpses of Japanese soldiers lying in random directions. The strong smell of blood could not be blown away even by the night wind, and the ** brigade sacrificed the entire brigade.  More than two-thirds of the casualties were incurred, and several key officers were killed.

    After receiving Chi Zifeng's report, Guo Huawen put down the phone and sat down heavily on the chair. Today, the ** Brigade's casualties were beyond imagination. It has been disabled. We can replenish troops and ammunition, but in the long run, Duyun will not be protected.  , under a long attack, there is no strong city that can be defended.

    &nbsp; Accepting Chu Tian's suggestion, he joined forces with Tang Qiuli to deal with the crazy Japanese army in front of him. However, he still had tens of thousands of people in his hands, enough for the little devil to gnaw at him for several months. So he asked for help like this. He really couldn't bear to do that.  Yes, once he joins forces with Tang Qiuli, what will the government think?  What will his immediate boss Liu Zhi do?  Guo Huawen was hesitant and worried about gains and losses.
