After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said to Zhang Qingji, who had been following him: "Go, bring my gun!" ”

"Master! You're ......."

"Execute the order!" At this time, Zhang Chi no longer talked nonsense with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes!" Zhang Qingqi responded, and immediately went back to the house to bring out Zhang Chi's sniper rifle, and skillfully installed a sniper scope for him while running.

Zhang Chi took the sniper rifle, and a feeling of reunion after a long absence arose in his heart.

This kind of reunion after a long absence does not mean that Zhang Chi has not touched a gun for a long time, in fact...... Zhang Chi wipes the gun when he has time and doesn't have time, and when he is tired with his brain, he will practice marksmanship.

But take it back to the battlefield...... Zhang Chi can't remember how long ago it was.

"Staff Officer!" Zhang Chi ordered: "You take my place as the commander, and first come to a mortar suppression!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang nodded in understanding.

Now is an extraordinary moment, so there is no question of whether the division commander can go to the battlefield in person...... In fact, there are really not a few division commanders in the national army who go to the battlefield in person, such as Dai Anlan and Xiao Yaoxiang......

This is partly determined by the advanced degree of the troops' equipment; when the troops' equipment is weak, the morale is very important, and it is not unusual for the division commander or even the army commander to go to the battlefield in person; if the equipment is advanced or even much more advanced, this advantage itself can give the troops high morale; at this time, the division commander and army commander will not only play no role in going to the battlefield, but will give the enemy the opportunity to kill the division commander and army commander and severely demoralize.

In short, there are no fixed rules on the battlefield, and the division commander is not unable to go to the battlefield, but to see if it is necessary.

At this time, it was absolutely necessary for Zhang Chi to go up and boost his morale, because the soldiers had not fought such a tough battle with inferior equipment to the enemy for a long time.

Zhang Chi didn't think much about it, and with two communicators and a few guards, he ran along the traffic trench to the first line of defense with a rifle on his waist.

"Woo ......" Just as Zhang Chi and the others were running forward, the mortar company of the expeditionary force fired shells at the tanks approaching the Japanese army.

This is mainly to buy a little time for the troops on the front line...... If the Japanese were allowed to advance forward under the cover of tanks like this, they would have advanced to a distance of 200 meters in less than ten minutes.

And the distance of 200 meters is a dangerous line for fighting the Japanese army...... The Japanese would use the advantage of grenadiers to suppress the firepower of the expeditionary force and swarm up.

If this is the case, then the first line of defense will soon collapse.

Now firing rows of mortars can slow down the Japanese attack, which can give the soldiers more time to prepare, and also give Zhang Chi time to go up and personally command.

Running all the way forward amid the sound of cannons, Zhang Chi was a little angry in the process...... Damn, I used to run on such a long distance without blushing and panting, but now I'm a little weak after running for a while, and I don't know if this is because the cotton clothes I wore were too thick or because I sat in the office for too long, it seems that I still have to pay attention to refining my body in the future.

It took about ten minutes for Zhang Chi and his entourage to run into the front-line trench, and hurriedly poked their heads out next to the trench to take a look...... The Japanese tanks had advanced to a range of 300 meters.

"Master!" Seeing Zhang Chi and his party running in, the fellow villagers hurriedly leaned over and lay down beside him, saying, "Why did you come up?" ”

"Less nonsense!" Zhang Chi said: "Let me command, let's fight a tough battle!" ”

"Okay!" The fellow townsman was infected by Zhang Chi's self-confidence, and turned to the soldiers beside him and shouted, "Brothers, the master has spoken...... Today is a tough battle. Is there confidence? ”

"Yes!" The warriors replied in unison.

According to the recollections of the soldiers after the war, they said: "I was really a little panicked when I first saw the devil's batch of tanks coming up, although I knew that the devil's tank was thin-skinned, but we had no artillery and no machine gun, and the range of rocket artillery was only about 200 meters, but this was at night...... It's good to be able to hit a hundred meters, so you have to guard against the devil's grenadier, followed by the devil's charge and bayonet, this battle can't be fought at all! Many people thought or hoped to be given the order to retreat. ”

"Now that I think about it, I really couldn't withdraw at the time...... The place to defend is so big, the devil's tank pushes all the way forward, and as soon as it withdraws, the entire 'research institute' is pushed! ”

"Everybody doesn't know what to do! But the teacher came up and shouted...... I have the bottom in my heart, and suddenly I feel that we can win this battle! ”

"That's not ...... When has Shiza ever lost a battle?! ”

……

Therefore, this is not only a matter of the division being on the front line to command, but also the prestige of Zhang Chi in the army and the myth that he has always been almost invincible, which has given the expeditionary force a shot in the arm.

"Flares!" Zhang Chi gave an order.

......Two flares flew into the air to illuminate the Japanese army's offensive formation.

Perhaps it was because it was difficult to advance in the dark night, or the Japanese army knew that the expeditionary force had no time to prepare, so they walked forward step by step, and the tank tracks raised some snow from time to time, like raising white waves in front of the expeditionary force, a rifle that had been loaded with bayonets flashed one after another behind the tank, and occasionally a few shells exploded nearby to reflect a little crimson fire, as if eager to drink blood.

Actually, Zhang Chi really didn't have any ideas at this time.

Let's fight, the Japanese army has tanks as cover, even if the semi-automatic rifles and other firepower in the hands of the expeditionary force are stronger than the Japanese army, but they can't stop their footsteps.

If you don't fight, there is the "research institute" not far behind, and there is really no way back.

So...... There is only one way, and that is to counterattack!

But in this case, the counterattack seemed to be a move to find death, because before the expeditionary force could rush in front of the Japanese army, the machine guns and artillery on the Japanese tanks would knock the expeditionary force to the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Chi found a flash on the waist of a Japanese soldier in the telescope...... It was the light reflected from the two pieces of glass used for observation on the gas mask.

Japanese soldiers with gas masks?! Why?

Are they going to use gas bombs?

This is not quite in line with common sense, the poison gas bombs were used in the Chinese battlefield to the south, and the troops in the north, including the troops of the puppet state of Manchukuo, were basically unequipped because they had no combat needs.

In the next second, Zhang Chi understood why...... the "research institute" is the place where poison gas bombs are produced and researched, and there are still more than 100,000 poison gas bombs in the underground warehouse.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi had an idea!
