Zhou Zhidao, commander of the 151st Brigade, personally led the troops to rush up all the way up, in addition to the other two infantry battalions of Yang Ling's regiment, the guard battalion, the baggage battalion, the artillery battalion, and the engineer battalion directly under the brigade also arrived at the battlefield.

The strength of the Chinese army in the Minshan battlefield increased sharply, from regiments to brigades, and heavy machine guns, heavy mortars and other heavy weapons were also pulled up.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Chinese army, the Ono Ichiro Brigade, which had launched a menacing attack, immediately retreated obscenely when the situation was not good.

The arrival of reinforcements made Yang Ling and them breathe a sigh of relief, and a brigade of more than 1,000 people pressed up on the whole line, Yang Ling's heart was really a little frightened, worried that he would not be able to stabilize the defense line.

Once they can't stabilize the Minshan side and let the devil's troops break into De'an County, then the brothers of the Ninth Army who are fighting on the front line of Jinguanqiao on the Nanxun Line will be cut off by the devils to retreat, and Yang Ling can't afford such consequences.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time to relieve Yang Ling of the threat of their defensive line.

"Traveler!" Yang Ling stood up and raised his hand to the sweat-soaked brigade commander Zhou Zhidao and saluted a military salute.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao saw Yang Ling coming down from the battlefield covered in gunsmoke and blood, and his serious face eased.

Although the 74th Army was established only one year ago, it had already surpassed the German armament unit and played the limelight of the main force, among which the officers took the lead in fighting was a guarantee that they would be able to fight tough battles and win battles.

Now seeing that Yang Ling, a tiger general who had won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, had stabilized the collapsed defense line with only one battalion of troops, his heart couldn't be happier.

At that time, when he learned that the 302nd Regiment could not withstand the devil's attack and rout, he had prepared for the worst, and now it seems that he was too worried, with Yang Ling, the tiger general who took the lead, the devil did not want to step here.

"Come, sit down and talk about the situation."

Brigade commander Zhou Zhidao warmly beckoned Yang Ling to sit down and rest, in fact, when he learned that he couldn't bear it in front of him, he was also anxious, running all the way, and now he was tired enough.

Now seeing that Yang Ling and the others have stabilized the defensive line, he is also relieved, if he can't stabilize it, I'm afraid that he, the brigade commander, will also come to an end.

Yang Ling was not hypocritical, took advantage of the situation to find a stone and sat down, and began to report the combat situation to the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao.

"The devil on the opposite side is the Sixth Brigade, and there are currently at least two brigades of troops......"

Yang Ling reported the number of the devil on the opposite side and the number of firepower configuration to the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao, and explained the situation of their operations one by one.

Hearing that Yang Ling and the others not only stabilized the defensive line, but also killed hundreds of devils, the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao was very happy, and bluntly said that he wanted to ask for credit for them.

Although Yang Ling repelled the devil's attack and won a lot, an avant-garde battalion of the 302nd Regiment was completely wiped out.

So in the first round of their fight with the devil, no one took advantage.

The 74th Army is the main force of the Central Army, with strong combat effectiveness, but the other side is subordinate to the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, which is notorious and its strength cannot be underestimated.

When the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao learned that there were only two brigades on the opposite side, he immediately decided to press the whole brigade and attack in the direction of Ruichang to relieve the threat of the flank of the Nanxun line.

Worried that the reinforcements of the Japanese army would make the attack more difficult, the whole brigade could not take a break, and immediately turned from defense to attack and began to attack the devils in the direction of Minshan.

The Chinese army relied on the hilly area to build fortifications at the front of the Jinguan Bridge on the Nanxun Line to block and consume the Japanese army's vital forces, but this time the situation was completely reversed.

The devils of the two brigades relied on the hills of Minshan to build strong fortifications, but the attacking Chinese army had to attack upward, which was very difficult.

Although it is difficult to attack, the military orders on the battlefield are like mountains, and even if you know that you are going to die, you have to rush up.

Yang Ling's 301st Regiment belonged to the main force, although the three battalions lost hundreds of brothers, but the remaining two battalions were intact and were named by Zhou Zhidao to attack.

The regiment commander Zhang Handuo also knew that the task was arduous, so he brought the battalion and company commanders together and made some arrangements.

"Lu Xing!"

"Yes!"

"Your battalion is responsible for the main attack, don't hide it, give me all the strength, and strive to capture the devil's position in one go."

"Don't worry! Our brothers in the battalion will not disgrace you! ”

Seeing that the first battalion commander Lu Xing was full of confidence, the regiment commander Zhang Handuo turned his attention to the second battalion commander Chen Ming.

"Your second battalion is responsible for covering, once the first battalion opens a breakthrough, you will immediately follow up and expand the results!"

Chen Ming, the commander of the second battalion, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, buckled the steel helmet to his head, and nodded: "Understand-"

"The third battalion is a reserve, standing by in place."

Regiment commander Zhang Handuo deliberately took care of the third battalion, after all, the third battalion had just fought with the devils, and the casualties were not small, so he wanted them to rest for a short time.

Yang Ling is the deputy commander of the regiment and also serves as the commander of the third battalion, and he has no objection to the arrangement of the regiment commander Zhang Handuo, but is grateful to the regiment commander Zhang Handuo.

As a commander, he naturally hopes to reduce the casualties of his brothers to a minimum, and now the third battalion has suffered heavy casualties, which is not suitable for continuous combat, and being a reserve is the best choice.

"Are your respective tasks clear?" After the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, looked around and asked.

"Clear!" The battalion and company commanders' answers were neat and sonorous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if this attack is unsuccessful, go back and tell the brethren that whoever dares to retreat without permission and become a deserter will be shot!"

The regiment commander Zhang Handuo said this murderously, and the officers also restrained their smiles and became serious.

In the past, most of their troops fought in blocking and defensive battles, but this time it was a tough battle, and everyone's heart was ready to take their lives to fill it.

Yang Ling and the others soon led the troops to the foot of Min Mountain, and in the telescope, the situation of the devil's position was unobstructed.

The stout and sharpened wooden stakes in front of the position were planted in the soil at forty-five degrees, and there were many barbed wire fences wrapped around them.

Behind this obstacle is the cold machine gun position of the devil, looking at the dense machine gun fire points, Yang Ling's scalp is a little numb.

"Fuck, the little devil is moving pretty fast, and the barbed wire fence is up—"

Seeing the obstacle area composed of a large area of barbed wire with wooden stakes in front of the devil's position, the deputy battalion commander lay in the trench and took a puff of smoke and cursed.

A few hours ago, the land was still empty, and I didn't expect the devil to turn it into a death zone in a short period of time.

Although their three battalions served as reserves, he knew that in order to successfully break through that large area of obstacles, he did not know how many brothers would die in the main battalion, and they were all his own brothers.

Yang Ling's face was also solemn, he didn't expect that the little devil's ability to build field fortifications was so strong, now let alone attacking the devil's position, it would be difficult to just break through the area full of obstacles.

"Let the artillery battalion in the brigade support it, and blow up a road first-" Yang Ling retracted his gaze and said to the regiment commander Zhang Handuo.

Regiment commander Zhang Handuo nodded and said: "The devil's machine gun firepower is quite large, and all the explosives in the regiment are transferred to the first battalion, so that they can organize more demolition teams."
