Commander-in-Chief Chen's family still stayed in Beitai, including Lin Wenjing, who was pregnant with Rokka, invisibly gave great encouragement to the military and civilians. Commander-in-Chief's wife and children did not leave, so what are we afraid of?

There was a lot of war outside, and Chen Zikun was firmly in the central military tent. It was not that he had the determination to live and die with the city, but that he had a complete retreat plan. This was the top secret in the military. Except for the senior management, the intermediate officers did not know it. If everyone knew that there was a way out, then the battle would not be fought.

The Wuhan strategy battle at the Japanese base camp officially kicked off. Some artillery and aviation sieges that besieged Beitai turned to Wuhan, leaving only one detachment of troops.

The detachment is a temporary marshal of the Japanese army to perform specific tasks. The brigade-level troops composed of the main field division were drawn to siege Beitai. The person responsible for this task was a major general named Tian Lu Chaoichi of the 15th Division. His main job was to reduce the organization's infantry regiment commander of the Third Regiment. Now a dissatisfied infantry regiment, a chariot brigade and an artillery brigade, forming Tian Lu Detachment.

The infantry corps that were dissatisfied was the 45th Regiment that lost the flag of the Emperor's Imperial Gang. According to the Japanese tradition, the number of this unit has been cancelled. The former commander of the regiment, Okamoto, asked the second captain of the emperor to thank the emperor for his caesarean section, and finally saved some face. At the request of the brigade commander General Umejima Manta, Lord Hata Shunrok finally agreed to let them make meritorious contributions and act as the vanguard force to attack Beitai.

The Tianlu Detachment was not impatient or impatient, and it was very well organized. Anyway, the Beitai retreat had been blocked, and the whole city had become an isolated island. With three fingers, it was necessary to squeeze the snails and take them safely. Why should I spend the heavy artillery shells that the Imperial Army had not had enough? It would be better to let the infantry be one street and one house be pushed over. Anyway, the cost of replenishing the soldiers was only one stamp. (Indicate the cost of the recruitment letter)

This is a strong urban street battle. The Japanese army has sufficient ammunition and strong morale. The disadvantage is that they are generally equipped with rifles with large bolts, with slow firing speed and lack of weapons to attack solid fire points. The advantage of the Chinese team is that they are equipped with a large number of rapid-fire portable machine guns and Mauser****. Although the range is not as good as the 38th cap, their firepower is fierce and they take advantage of the street battle. The disadvantage is that they also lack heavy weapons, and the most commonly used are grenades and mobilizers.

Beitai is different from almost all Chinese cities. It is an emerging city. The houses facing the street are all reinforced concrete structures. The grenade cannon can only scratch itch. The Type 92 infantry cannon can only break a hole. Field cannons with a caliber or above can produce results. If you use a caliber of 150, the effect will be better.

Faced with the complaints from his subordinates, Major General Tian Lu could only scold them: "Baga, the precious cannons should be used in important Wuhan strategy battles. Wouldn't you find a way?"

The Imperial Army was always stubborn, and they were both reckless. During the Russo-Japanese War, they were good at Yuzai Charge. The fine tradition has been maintained until now. When they encountered a difficult fortress, they lined up into human walls and rushed forward like a slogan of long live the emperor and used bayonets to solve the problem. However, this kind of fighting was too much, the weather was hot, and the ground was full of dead people, with a pungent smell. If the battle was not over, a plague would probably break out.

The successor to the commander of the Forty-fifth Regiment was a colonel named Yoshihiko Takeshita. This man was a Chinese expert and knew the human weaknesses of the Chinese soldiers. Under his command, a special attack began.

In the early morning, the soldiers of the model 17th Division guarding the streets found heavy footsteps coming from the mist opposite. When they showed their heads, they were shocked. There were hundreds of ordinary people who were forced to the forefront by the Japanese army. There were old people with white hair, women holding babies, and children of seven or eight years old, all of whom were trembling with no expression.

Behind them was a dark Japanese tank, and behind them were Japanese soldiers who were sluggish. They were short, and when they bent down, they could only see the top of the hat and the cold bayonet.

"Little Japan, I fuck your ancestor!" The soldier cursed and reported to the battalion commander.

In just one year, Liu Xiaoyong, a graduate of the Army Officer School, has been promoted from warrant officer to major battalion commander. He calmly came to the outpost position, observed the situation with a telescope, and ordered: "Retreat to the second line of defense."

The soldiers were puzzled: "It's not enough to retreat just by evacuating. The little Japanese are leading the way for the people. Should we fight or not?"

Liu Xiaoyong said: "You just need to withdraw, I have my own way."

The frontier soldiers quickly retreated to the position 100 meters later. The Japanese army occupied the position that had not been captured yesterday without any effort, but they were not satisfied and forced the people to move out the roadblocks and continue to attack forward.

Colonel Takeshita reported to Major General Tianlu on the battlefield phone to report the news of his first victory. The general was very pleased: "Mr. Takeshita, I will hand over the great task of relieving the shame to you."

The second line of defense is still a barricade, and the fortifications made of sandbags are equipped with a heavy machine gun, but there are multi-story buildings on both sides of the streets. After many days of tug-of-war, the buildings have turned into ruins. The black windows are like the eyes of a blind man, gloomy and terrifying.

Liu Xiaoyong picked up the phone: "Master, the Japanese are here, and use the elders as shields."

On the other end of the phone is Chen Qilin, the head of the Model 17th Division: "Boy, I don't care what method you use, just hold on for ten minutes, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Yes!" Liu Xiaoyong agreed very simply.

Ten minutes, one hundred meters, throw a mouse and avoid weapons, what should I guard it!

Only by using the flesh and blood body to push it up, Liu Xiaoyong inserted the wrench gun on his belt and picked up a rifle with a bayonet: "Brothers, meet each other on a narrow road."

"The brave win!" More than a hundred infantrymen rushed out of the barricade with bayonets.

When the Japanese tanks found the enemy rushed out, they immediately opened fire and fired. The people who were blocking the front were trembling in the rain of bullets. They quickly fell down or fled to the ruins on the roadside. The tanks continued to strafuse, and the **s fell to the ground one after another. The black hole of the Grusen 57 fast cannon was poked out from the barricade. This old-fashioned artillery in the Guangxu period had little range and power, but it was the only weapon in Beitai that could independently produce shells.

The mountain cannon was used as a melee weapon and was forced to do so. The 57-caliber flowering grenade was originally used to deal with vital forces. Armor piercing was not its own business, but the Japanese tanks were thin and large, and they were just right when they fought. A shell roared out, hitting the tank turret and knocked off the turret directly.

"Kill!" Liu Xiaoyong got up from the ground and entered the enemy's formation with bloody heads and faces, just like a glaring look on King Kong. The two armies launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

I have to say that the Japanese army did have a trick to fight against the sting, but they killed the master's tutors. The Chinese soldiers did not talk about the rules when fighting. They used all the bayonets and machetes. They were not as formal as the Japanese. They fought against the bayonets and returned bullets, so the exchange ratio was basically one to one, and it was a waste of life.

After repelling a wave of attacks, compatriots who were hostages fled to the Chinese position. Liu Xiaoyong looked at his pocket watch. Ten minutes later, the reinforcements had not arrived yet.

For Colonel Takeshita, the goal of forcing the enemy out of the trench to fight was achieved. He decided to repeat the same trick, send a squadron again, and begged the chariot brigade to send a Type 95 tank to open the road in front. The Tianlu Detachment was a temporary organization. The guys in the chariot brigade were full of complaints and were reluctant to work for Colonel Takeshita. They had their own plans, which was to fight to the death with the armored troops of the Chinese army. After all, street fighting was a thankless job for tanks.

Fortunately, Major General Tian Lu supported him, and the chariot brigade still sent tanks to cooperate. The soldiers of the 45th Regiment captured hundreds of citizens from the residential area as meat shields. As the war deepened, part of Beitai city fell into the enemy's hands, and there were as many such meat shields as there were.

The second wave of offensive began, and the roar of tanks came from across the street, mixed with the whine of the people. Liu Xiaoyong picked up the telescope and looked at it, and his heart couldn't help but feel ache.

The one who walked in front was their own parents! And the second sister who was holding the child, they were full of fear and staggering, and the youngest sister cried loudly, all frightened.

Liu Cunren's family was very unlucky. The area where they lived was first captured by the Japanese army. They didn't have time to escape and became a flesh shield. Lao Liu, who had been working in copywriting for a lifetime, had never seen such a scene. His legs were scared and weak. The old woman hugged her grandson, held her little daughter, and moved forward slowly. The Japanese soldiers urging him from behind: "Hayagu, Hayagu!"

"Dad, I'm afraid." The youngest daughter cried.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes, it'll be fine in a while." Liu Cunren burst into tears. It's nothing if he dies, his daughter is still young. The little Japanese is really careless and will not be able to forgive them even if he is a ghost in his next life.

Liu Xiaoyong bit his teeth and picked up a captured Japanese knife, and was about to jump out of the trench. Suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Standing attentive!"

When the commander arrived, Liu Xiaoyong turned around and saw Commander-in-Chief Chen and his division commander crawling into the bunker. Chen Zikun wore a khaki uniform of an ordinary soldier, without a rank, had two big eyes on his waist, was covered in dust and a black face.

"The little Japanese used the trick to make it impossible for them to succeed. Qilin, is the magic gun team in place?" Chen Zikun said.

Chen Qilin looked at the watch: "It should be in place."

Chen Zikun said: "What are you waiting for? Fuck him!"

The gunshot suddenly rang out, and the Japanese soldiers in the queue fell to the ground one after another, basically all shot in the head and killed one shot, but the current barricade was not shot. The squadron leader was shocked and looked around and could not see the enemy or the flames at the muzzle. However, according to the ballistics, the bullets should have come from the upper floors on both sides of the road.

He drew his command knife and ordered, and shot at the roofs on both sides.

Guns and cannons were fired, and the ruins of the building were blown up with smoke. Liu Xiaoyong took the opportunity to shout: "Everyone is lying down!"

The common people all lay on the ground, and the Japanese tanks were in a hurry to reverse, and the tanks that had lost their cover became targets on the street. The 88 gun, the most powerful weapon, appeared, and a shell roared out, piercing the thin-skinned tank into a big hole.

"Kill!" Liu Xiaoyong was the first to jump out.

Upstairs on both sides, behind the windows, expressionless sharpshooters calmly pulled the bolts of the US-imported Remington sniper rifle, pulled the shells, and put the Japanese soldiers' heads into the cross of the optical scope, and fired them decisively. There was a blood mist in the scope, and another head turned into a rotten watermelon.
