"Brigade commander, I mean, we won't wait for the direct third brigade behind the little devil. With the strength of our guard brigade itself, in the shortest possible time, solve the little devil in front of us. "The chief of staff directly said what he thought.

"Chief of Staff, I don't want to fight, your appetite is bigger than mine. Let's go into the headquarters, and tell me your reasons. Regarding the opinion of the chief of staff in front of him, Bruce Lee, as a brigade commander, did not dare not pay attention to it. This is because the chief of staff in front of him, but in order to improve the combat effectiveness of his guard brigade, the commander has specially assigned an operational staff officer from the staff department of the military district headquarters who has been following him for several years. It can be said that the chief of staff in front of him was handed over by Commander Zhang Hua.

"Brigade commander, you see, our battalion, although it lost more than four hundred fighters. However, it only took them less than an hour to annihilate more than 1,000 people. If on the second line of blocking positions, the little devils will once again lose a few hundred people. The total strength of the little devils in front of us is only 4,000 people. The little devils of 4,000 people, except for their planes in the sky that make us fearful, in other respects, none of our guard brigades is weaker than them. Therefore, I think that our guard brigade is fully capable of eating the army in front of us...", the chief of staff said with certainty.

"Well, Chief of Staff, let me think about it..." After all, this matter is related to whether or not we can completely annihilate the army in front of us, and at the same time, it is also related to the cooperation of our guard brigade and the three brigades directly under it. You must know that the order of the headquarters is that our two brigades cooperate with each other, flank the front and rear, and jointly destroy the enemy. If our guard brigade fights this battle alone, will there be a suspicion of rushing to attack..."Brigade commander Bruce Lee did not make a decision immediately, but slowly fell into contemplation.

"Brigadier Commander, in fact, there are two important reasons. If we really stick to it like this, and block it step by step, the little devil's plane will cause us huge casualties. If we can surround all the Japanese army in the shortest possible time, let the rear launch an attack, and completely mix with the Japanese army. In this way, the plane of the little devil is completely useless ... When the time comes, we can rely on a large number of light and heavy machine guns in our hands to make short-distance contact with the Japanese army and consume their vital strength. Looking at the brigade commander who was lost in thought, the chief of staff did not want to let go of such a good opportunity to reduce the casualties of the troops, and continued to suggest.

"Okay, let's fight ourselves. When the time comes, Brigade Commander Wang will blame him, and I will personally go to him to make amends... In a word, we will fight as much as we can reduce the casualties of the troops. Chief of Staff, immediately draft a telegram to the High Commander and report it to the Commander of the High Command, asking the Commander to approve the battle plan we have just drawn up. Brigade Commander Bruce Lee slapped the table in front of him violently, made the final decision with certainty, and ordered loudly.

"Yes, brigade commander, I will send a telegram to the commander immediately, asking the commander to approve our battle plan..." After receiving the brigade commander's affirmative reply, the chief of staff replied affirmatively, turned around and began to order the operator to send the report.

"Staff Officer Wang, immediately notify the three regiment commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting in the shortest possible time, and there is something important to announce. In addition, in the name of the brigade headquarters, a report was sent directly to the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion, so that they could retreat after inflicting a large number of casualties on the Japanese army. Tell the second battalion commander that he must pay attention to the casualties of the troops and not fight hard with the little devils..."Looking at the departing chief of staff, the brigade commander Li Xiaolong ordered to another combat staff officer beside him.

In less than ten minutes, the three regiment commanders came to the brigade headquarters one after another. At the same time, the return call from Commander Gao Yuan also reached Bruce Lee's hands at the same time. The final result was not surprising, and Commander Gao agreed to the battle plan without any hesitation. The Guard Brigade was required to completely annihilate the remnants of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army while reducing the casualties of the troops as much as possible.

"Comrades, I think everyone has seen the battle of the regiment and the battalion just now. More than 500 fighters, under the wanton bombardment of enemy planes, completely annihilated more than 1,000 soldiers. It can be said that the 1st battalion achieved a very resounding victory. However, our battalion, too, paid a heavy price for this ... Therefore, after discussion, the chief of staff and I decided to change the combat plan of our guard brigade. Changing the blocking army to the total annihilation of the army, relying on the strength of our guard brigade itself, at the right time, to launch an attack on the army in front of us and wipe out all of them..."Looking at the three regiment commanders sitting in front of him, brigade commander Bruce Lee loudly stated the specific reason for the emergency meeting.

"It's great to annihilate the army... Brigade commander, you just give the order...""Yes, I was thinking about this question just now, there are less than 5,000 little devils left, as long as we grasp the opportunity, we are fully capable of annihilating these little devils..." "Brigade commander, you give the order, just now a regiment and a battalion are almost wiped out, this time our regiment must be the main attack, to avenge the sacrificed soldiers of the battalion...."Just after the words of the brigade commander Bruce Lee, the faces of the three regiment commanders showed a trace of excitement, and said confidently.

"Okay, comrades, all quiet, now let the chief of staff assign specific tasks to everyone..."Seeing everyone's fierce reaction, Bruce Lee became even more confident in his decision, and signaled to the chief of staff beside him.

"Comrades, according to my discussion with the brigade commander, the tasks of each regiment are as follows: a regiment of the guard brigade, with the remaining ten blocking positions, resolutely block the little devils. With the favorable terrain, as much as possible to kill and injure as many living forces as possible. The second and third regiments immediately assembled, and made a concealed detour to the two flanks of the Japanese army, completely surrounding the Japanese army. I'll give you only two hours, and after two hours, the troops will attack immediately. The battalion directly under the brigade headquarters is the general reserve for the entire campaign, and it will be ready to fight at any time..."In the expectant eyes of the three regiment commanders, the chief of staff announced the battle plan that had just been discussed.

"Yes, brigade commander, chief of staff, we promise to complete the mission...."After getting the task they wanted, the faces of the three regiment commanders showed excited looks. Immediately he got up from his seat and assured loudly.

"Very well, after the adjournment of the meeting, the regiments will start to move immediately. However, I would like to remind everyone that it is necessary to pay attention to air defense. Above our heads, there are also little devils' planes. A regiment, when acting as a blocker, you must be careful, don't fight hard with the little devils, you know, behind you, there are still ten blocking positions that can be used..."Looking at the three regiment commanders in front of him with a confident face, Bruce Lee finally reminded.

"Yes, brigade commander, you can rest assured, you will ensure the completion of the mission....", the three regiment commanders replied at the same time. Under the gaze of Bruce Lee and the chief of staff, the three of them quickly left the headquarters and ran towards their respective positions.

At this moment, the remaining 4,000 people of the 109th Division had already come to the blocking position of the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Battalion under the leadership of the division commander. With the lesson learned the first time before the blocking position, this time the little devil no longer carried out any blind attacks. Instead, he ordered the air force to first carry out a saturated bombardment of the blocking positions in front of them.

"Boom, boom, boom...."In the bursts of explosions, the position where the second battalion was located was immediately covered by gunsmoke, and the entire land began to tremble in the bursts of explosions. Although, the fighters had already drilled into the anti-artillery holes dug in advance before the air raid. But well, without the blow of anti-aircraft fire, the planes of the little devils bombed almost close to the ground. One bomb after another, as if they had eyes, landed accurately on the position. Bulldoze the trenches on the ground, and blow up the anti-artillery holes one by one....

Finally, in the expectant eyes of everyone, the three planes finally threw the bombs in their bellies, waved their wings, and left the battlefield very reluctantly... However, after nearly 10 minutes of intensive bombardment, this blocking position, which was several hundred meters wide, had completely changed. Even the only trench that had been specially reinforced, at this moment, was reduced to an outline. More importantly, several anti-artillery holes, which were directly hit by bombs. As the entrance of the cave was dug up, not a single intact corpse could be found in the entire anti-artillery hole. Everywhere there were shattered stumps and broken arms, internal organs and dirt mixed together, very bloody..."Battalion commander, the casualties have been counted, a total of 103 soldiers have been killed, 12 people have been seriously injured, unable to participate in the battle, and now they have been carried down...."After counting the casualties of the troops, the instructor of the second battalion reported to the commander of the second battalion in front of him with almost a pair of red eyes.

"Little devil... I'm at odds with you... Comrades, immediately repair the trenches, prepare for battle, avenge the sacrificed comrades, and let the little devils pay for their blood debts..."Hearing the loss, the second battalion commander clenched his fists tightly, and ordered angrily to the soldiers around him... Perhaps it was the casualties of their comrades that made the fighters angry. Just when the little devils of a squadron, under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, charged to a distance of three hundred meters from the position. All the fighters are already lying in their newly restored single bunkers, rifles in both hands, ready for battle....

"Comrades, stabilize me, the little devil is not close to a distance of 150 meters, and he must not fire in advance. All machine gunners, fight a shuttle to change positions, don't let the grenadiers of the little devils be targeted..."Looking at the soldiers around him with angry faces, the second battalion commander kept shouting and reminding one after another... Maybe it's because the heavy machine guns and grenadiers behind him are constantly emboldening him, or maybe the little devil who is in charge of the attack believes too much in the bombing he just had. In less than a few minutes, more than 200 Japanese troops advanced to a distance of 150 meters from the position. With the order of the second battalion commander, a burst of gunfire immediately sounded on the entire blocking position. Dozens of light machine guns shot a dense tongue of fire, like a line of death, the life of a fast reaper little devil... The dozens of little devils who were at the forefront of the charge immediately fell in a pool of blood after being hit by the dense fire that caught them off guard. However, most of the little devils behind him quickly lay on the ground with their skilled military movements, dodged the bullets that had just flew, and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the position..."Grenadier, shoot immediately, destroy all the firepower points of the Eighth Route Army....Heavy machine guns, we must suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and cover the infantry to continue to charge..."Under the personal command of a captain of the Big Zuo Wing, behind the little devil infantry, dozens of heavy machine guns and a neat row of grenadiers served as cover, and the design target was immediately adjusted, raining bullets and shells at the positions of the Eighth Route Army..."Shh Ahh And the little devil lying in front of the position, at the moment when the blocking fire weakened, immediately stood up, bent over, and ran the S-shaped charging route while holding the rifle in his hand to shoot..."Damn, why is the little devil's marksmanship so powerful." Battalion commander, you can't fight like this anymore. In less than a few minutes, at least two machine gunners were replaced for each machine gun, and dozens of fighters died under the fire of the enemy's grenadiers..."Looking at the corpses of the soldiers who fell on the position, the instructor lying next to the second battalion commander couldn't help but remind.

"Order all fighters to stop shooting ... When the remaining little devils rushed to a distance of thirty meters, all the machine guns opened fire in unison, and the riflemen all threw grenades, putting the little devils closer before firing. Damn, even if you fight bayonets, our second battalion can also wipe out more than 100 little devils..."After listening to the instructor's reminder, he looked at the more than 100 little devils left in front of him. The corners of the second battalion commander's mouth showed a sneer, and he ordered loudly... Suddenly, the blocking position, which was still shooting a dense rain of bullets just now, was as if the Eighth Route Army had completely retreated, without a trace of movement. However, at this moment, there are more than 300 fighters left, except for the machine gunner, who is still holding the machine gun in his arms tightly. The remaining riflemen took out the grenades on their waists one after another, ready to drop the bombs at any time..."Yo Xi, warriors, the Eighth Route Army has all retreated under the fierce blows of our heroic imperial army. Hurry up, rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army, occupy it, you are the heroes of the Imperial Army, the heroes of the 109th Division..."This is the first thought of the squadron leader of the Yue Army after seeing the quiet blocking position..."More than 100 little devils, under the command of the squadron leader, completely let go of their charging pace, and quickly rushed towards the blocking position that was close at hand. "One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters..." In front of him, a huge roar suddenly sounded. Immediately afterwards, I saw more than a dozen Eighth Route Army members from the silent position, holding a light machine gun, quickly stood up, and appeared in front of the Imperial Army..." Baga, hide quickly, there is an ambush...."The strafing sound of dozens of light machine guns, the screams of the little devils, and the shouting and scolding immediately sounded on the blocking position. Those little devils who were at the forefront of the charge, who were still confident just now, immediately showed a look of despair on their faces as the guns rang out, and then, with a trace of unwillingness, fell heavily on the way to their charge.

As for the little devils who managed to dodge the bullets and lay on the ground. Just when there was a hint of luck on their faces. A whirling sound that broke through the air quickly reached his ears through the dense machine-gun fire. Just as they raised their heads, a raindrop of grenades appeared above their heads, in their eyes..."Ah, Yaga, it's a grenade... We were fooled....boom boom...."A burst of desperate screams immediately rang out on the Japanese army's position. However, in just a split second, these screams were completely covered by the dense sound of grenade explosions... And those riflemen hiding in the trenches, regardless of these screams, threw the grenades on their waists into the group of devils one after another under the command of the battalion commander.

"Quick, retreat immediately, machine gun cover, the troops will retreat immediately..."In the dense explosion, the remaining more than three hundred fighters of the second battalion. With light and heavy wounded, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield along the communication trenches. As for the more than 100 little devils who were covered by the rain of grenades, after the continuous explosion of almost a thousand grenades, except for a few who were lucky enough not to die on the spot, the remaining soldiers have all turned into piles of minced meat..."Baga, the Eighth Route Army is really very cunning. Cang Maojun, order the Air Force to continue to bomb me, and kill all the Eighth Route Army on the position... Blow up their positions to me..."Seeing that the soldiers of another squadron of his own were wiped out without any warning, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, ordered with an angry face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. According to the report, the combat aircraft supporting one of our squadrons, which had run out of ammunition in the attack just now, have now returned. It will take at least an hour before we can get reinforcements from the air..."Looking at the endless sky, Chief of Staff Kuramoge Osaku reminded in a low voice.

"Baga, order the troops to stand by. After the air force units arrive, they must occupy the blocking position in front of them in the shortest possible time and break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army. Hearing that all the air forces had returned, the division commander sat listlessly on the ground and ordered, like a defeated rooster.

"Hey, Your Excellency the division commander, we will definitely break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time..."Looking at the division commander in front of him, who seemed to have lost all his sharpness, Chief of Staff Kuramo Dasa also replied speechlessly.
