On the city wall of Raoyang County, Zhao Jinglin held a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhu Yaohui, who was standing next to him, also looked worried, and turned to look at Zhao Jinglin.

frowned and said: "Lao Zhao, it's not a way to fight like this, the devil's tank is too powerful, and I'm afraid the position outside the city can't hold it." ”

"You mean to abandon the positions outside the city?" Zhao Jinglin asked casually.

Zhu Yaohui nodded and said: "If you continue to fight like this, you are wasting your troops, it is better to withdraw into the city, use the city fortifications, and continue to resist the attack of the devils." ”

Zhao Jinglin hesitated, frowned and said, "But once we give up the position outside the city, we won't have any way out." ”

Zhu Yaohui said: "We have made sufficient preparations, using the city fortifications, we should be able to resist for a while, no matter how bad it is, we can also retreat to the city and fight with the little devils in the streets." ”

Zhao Jinglin pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!" The front-line troops were ordered to take cover alternately, withdraw into the city, and continue to hold on. ”

"Yes~!"

Zhao Jinglin's order soon reached the frontline position, and the troops immediately began to gradually abandon the positions outside the city in accordance with the order, and withdrew towards the city under alternate cover.

A devil officer who commanded the attack, after discovering this situation, immediately raised his command knife excitedly.

Roared loudly: "The earth eight roads can't stand it, they have already begun to retreat." Let me continue to attack, defeat these hateful Tubalu in one fell swoop, and occupy Raoyang County! Kill and give~! ”

With the order of the devil officer, the little devils rushed forward one by one more frantically and killed.

On the devil's position, the commander of the Black Island Division saw this scene through the telescope and said excitedly: "Yo Xi! Big drop good! ”

"These abominable dirt roads have finally been defeated."

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is wise, and under your wise command, these hateful Dirt Eight Roads are simply unable to confront the Imperial Japanese Army."

"Yes, these Tubalu attempts to fight against the imperial army, that is, they do not measure their own strength and bring about their own destruction."

"Now that the Dirt Eight Roads have been defeated, after losing their positions outside the city, these Dirt Eight Roads can only hide in the city, so that they will become turtles in the urn, even if they want to escape, they can't escape. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is wise. ”

"Haha~!" The commander of the Black Island Division couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

"Immediately send an order to the front-line troops, continue to strengthen the offensive, and be sure to occupy Raoyang City as soon as possible and eliminate these hateful Tubalu!"

"Hello!"

The order of the commander of the Black Island Division was quickly transmitted to the front-line position, and after the little devils captured the position outside the city, they did not stop at all, and continued to hold their bayonets and rush forward as if they were desperate.

"Brethren! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! Block these little devils who are talking about dogs. ”

"Da Da Da Da~!" Dense gunfire rang out again, and a string of fiery tongues of fire quickly shrouded the little devil.

"Puff~!" The bullet hit the devil with a muffled sound, and the little devil who rushed in front instantly fell a large piece.

"Keep attacking~! Kill and give~! ”

However, the little devils are also unusually tenacious, in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Eighth Route Army, these little devils still refuse to give up, and continue to rush forward one by one like crazy.

For a while, the battle became more intense, the smoke outside Raoyang City was filled, guns and cannons were fired, and the ancient Raoyang County was completely shrouded in a war.

……

"Report ...... Report to the head of the regiment, the headquarters urgently telegraphed. ”

Liu Hong hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and after only one glance, he couldn't help frowning.

Wu Feng hurriedly asked, "Regiment leader, is the battle situation unfavorable on Raoyang's side?" ”

Liu Hong sighed slightly and said: "The little devil stormed Raoyang City, and my troops defending the city resisted stubbornly, but the little devil dispatched tanks and even used planes to bomb Raoyang City. ”

"At this time, the positions outside Raoyang City have all been lost, and the defenders are forced to retreat into the city to continue to hold on, and the current situation is not optimistic."

Wu Feng sighed slightly and said: "It seems that the little devil is also in a hurry this time, so he will put on a desperate posture, the little devil is bound to win Raoyang City, it seems that he is ready to take Raoyang City first." ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "The little devil's intention is very obvious, they just want to take Raoyang City first, gradually compress our living space, and force us to fight a decisive battle with them." ”

"But what they didn't expect was that we didn't plan to avoid the war at all, and we had already planned a decisive battle with these brutes in Raoyang."

"And Raoyang City is the grave of these little devils!"

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Having said that, if the Raoyang defenders are defeated and Raoyang is lost, our battle will not be easy." ”

Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand and said: "We don't have to worry about this, it is Zhao Jinglin's troops who are guarding Raoyang City, don't you know this kid?" is known for being good at guarding, and they can survive so many tough battles, and they will definitely not be able to get out of the fork this time. ”

"Hmmm! If it is Zhao Jinglin guarding Raoyang, then there is really nothing to fear, I believe that they will be able to defend Raoyang City. Wu Feng nodded and said.

"Defending Raoyang is only the first step to ensure success, our ultimate goal is to completely eliminate this Black Island Division, and in order to ensure the victory of this battle, we must not take it lightly."

Liu Hong said thoughtfully: "The commander ordered us to rush to the vicinity of Raoyang, stand by, and be ready to support Raoyang at any time. ”

"Our speed is still a little too slow now, immediately order the troops, accelerate the advance, and arrive at Raoyang City as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Wu Feng hurriedly answered, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.

With Liu Hong's order, the troops immediately increased their speed and continued to drive towards Raoyang.

Liu Hong led the independent regiment on a rapid march, but the journey was very smooth, and he arrived more than 30 miles north of Raoyang in the early morning of the next day.

Then, in accordance with the orders of the command, they were on standby and ready to attack.

"According to the plan of the headquarters, the time of the counterattack is set for tonight, that is to say, the defenders of Raoyang must hold on for another day."

"It is foreseeable that after dawn, there will inevitably be a fierce battle!"

Liu Hong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, frowned and said: "There are about two hours before dawn, and now we can only rely on Zhao Jinglin and themselves, as long as we survive this day, the final victory will be ours." ”

"Tell the troops, be sure to pay attention to concealment, let the soldiers seize the time to rest, and recover their strength as soon as possible. In addition, the vigilant troops should also strengthen their vigilance and must not be careless. ”

"Yes!"
