Chen Shizhang, commander of the 40th Division, was standing next to Huang Baitao, feeling his face burning as well. Chen Shizhang wanted to defend himself by saying that the equipment of the 1st Regiment of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was much better than that of the 118th Regiment, and its training was better than that of the 118th Regiment, but even he felt that this reason was too much. Pale, equipment training is only superficial. Compared with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Army lacked the momentum to sacrifice themselves for others. To put it bluntly, the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had participated in the Battle of Huluweigu, and they had a psychological advantage against the Japanese army. "The First Army, when facing the Japanese army, has almost never had a victory. Not to mention the psychological advantage, it is considered very brave to be able to face the Japanese army without trembling in the calves. "Military seat, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has begun a hand-to-hand battle with Little Japan," the adjutant suddenly shouted. "Huh?" Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang looked stern at the same time when they heard this, and then raised the telescope in their hands again. "This is Sun Laobao?" The high-magnification telescope zoomed in on the battlefield ahead. Chen Shizhang could see at a glance the officer of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army rushing at the front, although he could not clearly see the outline of his five tubes. , However, just looking at his figure and his crisp assassination movements, Chen Shizhang felt extremely familiar. Back then, Sun Laobao was in the 40th Division, but he was the leading assassination master. "Sun Laobao?" Huang Baitao's eyes also fell on Sun Laobao, who was fighting on the battlefield, and asked, "Brother Shizhang, are you talking about that?" An assassination master?" "Yes." Chen Shizhang said bitterly, "He was also in our army before." Huang Baitao's face suddenly darkened. Such a brave officer was not allowed to stay in the First Army, and he was recruited by Xu Jiujiu. After passing by, look at the officers under Xu Jiujiu. Gao Shenxing, Li Mu, and Li Zihan are all very good. Even Niu Sigan, a patrolman with a wild background, is now a capable general. Could it be that Xu Nineteen really has a kind of temperament, so he can attract so many brave people? ??Or maybe there is a quality in Xu Jiujiu that can subtly transform his officers, turning them from cowardly and incompetent people into brave and capable generals? "Military seat, we may lose this contest." Chen Shizhang said. Huang Baitao nodded and sighed: "We are bound to lose, but I hope it won't be too embarrassing." Chen Shizhang pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "Military seat, do you want the guard battalion to go into battle now?" According to Xu The agreement between Nineteenth and Huang Baitao was that both sides could only commit one regiment to participate in the battle. However, neither party agreed that no other battalion could temporarily strengthen the regiment that went into the attack. Huang Baitao took advantage of this loophole and sent Chen Shizhang's The guard battalion was temporarily incorporated into the 118th Regiment to serve as the general reserve force. Now that the 118th Regiment is making slow progress, it is necessary to invest in a guard battalion with stronger combat effectiveness. However, once the guard battalion is put into battle at this time, after the Little Japan Front collapses, the 118th Regiment will not be able to mobilize too many troops to pursue and kill. In this case, the number of enemy killed and the results will be greatly reduced. This is Huang Baitao What he didn't want to see, so he refused: "No, it's not time yet." (Dividing line) There is a reason why assassin masters like to hold their bayonets backwards. If you hold the bayonet straight, you can basically only stab and chop. If you hold the bayonet backwards, you can perform many complex actions such as wiping, pricking, picking, cutting, hooking, etc. Moreover, it is more concealed and more difficult to prevent before drawing the bayonet. Of course, if you don't have a strong foundation for assassination, holding the bayonet backwards is just looking for death. "However, a veteran like Sun Laobao will certainly not seek death. Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Japanese second lieutenant slashed the air with his sword, Sun Laobao hit his knee hard on the Japanese second lieutenant's abdomen. The Japanese second lieutenant immediately groaned in pain and curled up. Sun Laobao turned the bayonet in his hand and moved it down. The Japanese second lieutenant had already been stabbed through the head. The sharp blade penetrated the back of the Japanese second lieutenant's head and came out from the mouth. The Japanese second lieutenant¡¯s brain was pierced by a bayonet. He didn¡¯t even utter a word and was killed on the spot. Another Japanese soldier rushed over with a bayonet in hand. Sun Laobao only ducked half way to the side, narrowly avoiding the knife. Just as the small Japanese bayonet slid past Sun Laobao's cheek. , Sun Laobao had already pulled out the bayonet from the head of the Japanese second lieutenant, and wiped it across the throat of the Japanese soldier like lightning. There was just a pop sound, and the hot blood splashed violently. Sun Laobao rushed forward again, but the Japanese soldier's knees weakened and fell to the ground, and streams of blood arrows spattered from his open neck. Shooting in all directions, after kneeling for a moment, the Japanese soldier fell forward and fell heavily to the ground. The red blood immediately soaked the ground under him (dividing line). In a sparse pine forest on the left side of the battlefield, there were sounds from time to time. Bursts of dull neighing. The war horse is psychic, and Oolong has already smelled iron and blood from the air.The taste started to become restless, and Peng Wu had to keep caressing Oolong's neck to slightly control his restless mood. Huang Baitao thought of a way to take advantage of the loophole, and Xu Shijiu certainly wouldn't wait. Xu Jiujiu also temporarily incorporated Peng Wu's cavalry battalion into Li Zihan's 1st Regiment, but the cavalry battalion did not participate in the first stage of the offensive. Xu Jiujiu's idea was actually the same as Huang Baitao's. The mission of the cavalry battalion was Just wait for the Japanese front to completely collapse before breaking out, and use its powerful maneuverability to expand the results. Although judging from the battle situation, Li Zihan's 1st Regiment's offensive was obviously more powerful than that of the National Army's 118th Regiment. The 18th Regiment had advanced less than 500 meters, while Li Zihan's 1st Regiment had already advanced nearly 1,000 meters. , However, after all, there is only one squadron of Little Japan opposite the 118th Regiment, but there are three squadrons opposite Li Zihan¡¯s 1st Regiment. Therefore, no one can guarantee that Li Zihan¡¯s 1st Regiment will be able to break through in front of the 118th Regiment. Japanese defense line. And once the 118th Regiment is allowed to break through the Japanese defense line first, even if it only takes ten or twenty minutes, it will have an advantage in the number of enemy kills. After all, compared with the engagement stage, it can kill the enemy more in the pursuit stage, Xu Shijiu I don¡¯t want to lose to Huang Baitao in this contest. Of course, Japan's field troops generally do not collapse across the board. Even if the entire army is destroyed, there is rarely a total collapse. This may be related to the weak combat effectiveness of the national army, but on the Chinese battlefield, especially in the first four years of the Anti-Japanese War, , indeed there has never been a complete collapse of the main divisions of the Japanese army. During the Battle of Xuzhou, the main forces of the Japanese Pei Regiment and the 10th Division were beaten to the point where they were almost completely destroyed, but they did not collapse. In the Battle of Wanjialing, the Japanese 10th Pei Regiment was even beaten to the point where there were only more than 500 remaining soldiers, but it also did not collapse across the board. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, even if you defeat Japan, there is no way to expand the results, because the results you achieve on the battlefield are already the greatest results. But after all, the garrison troops of Little Japan are not considered combat troops. Once the situation goes bad, the whole line may collapse. The Little Japan opposite has both field troops and garrison troops. As long as the field troops in front are defeated, that is, the independent infantry. The 56th Brigade, the remaining gendarmerie, puppet troops and other units were the prey of the cavalry battalion. Peng Wu was waiting for a signal, waiting for the order for the cavalry battalion to attack. Unknowingly, the setting sun had already set on the hill. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. The hour hand was already pointing to 4:30 in the afternoon, even though it was already April. The days are much longer than in winter, but there are still less than two hours until dark. Peng Wu's face inevitably showed a hint of anxiety. If he still couldn't break through Little Japan's defense line within an hour, and if Little Japan was allowed to wait until dark, then his cavalry battalion would lose any effect. In the dark night, the war horses It is impossible for the cavalry to gallop freely, and the cavalry cannot participate in the battle. However, no matter how anxious Peng Wu was, time was still passing by bit by bit. However, the signal to attack that Peng Wu expected never appeared, and the battle did not seem to go smoothly. Although Haneda's military police and the puppet army could not fight a tough battle, they relied on the flanks of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade to fight a defensive battle, but they failed. It was still possible. Although the offensive of Li Zihan's 1st regiment was fierce, it still seemed a bit reluctant in the face of the three front and rear lines of defense built by the old Japanese Haneda on the right wing. ¡°In the final analysis, the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army still lacks heavy firepower. Even Dazi's artillery could not participate in the battle this time because it could not keep up with the infantry. Otherwise, even if it was only to send a few artillery soldiers to carry mortars and use horizontal aiming technology to accompany the infantry on the firepower points of Little Japan. Targeted clearing can also greatly reduce the resistance of infantry.
