Tu Menghu nodded silently, he knew the old man's wishes. The old man's life was only two wishes: the prosperity of the country, and the rise of the navy.

In history, when the old man was 91 years old, he burst into tears when he learned that the Volunteers had invaded Seoul. Fifty-seven years is like a dream, the whole country fell to Seoul, don't give up on the shallow water of the dragon, and finally raise your eyebrows.

"Please rest assured! Meng Ben swears here: I will let Ding Ming Gong see the rise of China in his lifetime! You can see my navy boasting overseas! ”

"Hahaha...... Good! I'll fight for it and live a few more years! Watch my Chinese nation stand up again, and watch our navy boast overseas!! ”

Just when Tu Menghu and Sa Zhenbing were talking, the war in Xuchang City had also entered a white-hot state.

After learning that the Jin Sui Army had been completely subsumed into the Wehrmacht system, the Japanese attack became even more frenzied. The 114th Division launched three attacks during this day.

Li Shaotang, commander of the 250th Brigade of the 84th Division of the 17th Army, was forced to personally lead his troops into battle, while the 251st Brigade urgently entered the position to support the operation under the leadership of the brigade commander Gao Jianbai.

"Boom! Rumble!! The tunnels on the "Boom ......" position were constantly bombed, and the beams of the houses where the tunnels were built were blasted into slag and flew in all directions.

There were constant explosions on the battlefield, and screams were heard in the anti-artillery holes behind.

"Hold on! Hold on, brother...... "Countless men took bandages and wound medicine to bandage those soldiers who had broken their hands and feet and were covered in blood.

"Give me a good time...... Give me a good time......" A man who had lost a hand and a foot kept screaming: "I can't stand it anymore...... Okay, okay, give me a good time......"

"Hold on! You can hold on! The wife and children at home are still waiting for you to go back......" The man who helped him bandage roared with tears: "Lao Tzu has smeared so much medicine on you, don't you die!" If you die, these pills will be wasted! Wake up for Lao Tzu! Awake!! ”

The battle continued, and countless Japanese troops continued to rush forward and surging towards the position. Batch after batch of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army shouted and fought with the Japanese army.

"Quick! Get on the ground!! Li Shaotang couldn't see that he was a brigade commander at all, but he saw that his clothes were all covered in blood on the battlefield. I can't tell if it's his blood or someone else's. The hands and feet are fairly intact.

But the bloody bandage on his chest silently told him how tragic the war had been.

Gao Jianbai, the commander of the 251st Brigade who came up to support, was not much better, and his face was scratched several times. There was a bandage around his head, but the brigade commander was still staring at every move of the Japanese troops on the opposite side of the position with red eyes.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... The roar of the heavy machine guns ...... sounded over the position, and they were immediately hit by Japanese artillery fire. Countless Japanese troops continued to raid their positions along the skirmish line.

"Kill with Lao Tzu!!" After the Japanese army rushed more than 100 meters, Gao Jianbai, the commander of the 251st Brigade, roared angrily and rushed towards the charging Japanese soldiers.

The two sides began to engage in a white-knuckle battle for an unknown number of times.

"Red deer!! It's all idiots! It's been almost a day now! Why haven't you taken this position yet?! What the hell are you eating?! Don't you have a little dignity as an emperor?! ”

"Hail!!" Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, scolded in the front command headquarters, but several wing commanders could only say yes loudly.

"Akiyama, Chiba, Yamada! I have already given you more than one chance, and I wonder why you have neither taken the position nor died on the battlefield, but stood in front of me! ”

"Obaof, Nagaya, Nagayama! I want to know. I asked the artillery to give you the greatest fire support, and even pulled out most of the firepower points of the Jin Sui army on the opposite side, why haven't you taken this position yet?! ”

"Hail!!" Several brigade commanders and wing commanders didn't even dare to reply more. can only respond loudly against the spit of Shigeji Suematsu.

After scolding for a while, Shigeharu Suematsu took a deep breath and said fiercely: "I told His Excellency the Commander that I will definitely take this position today. Then for my honor as a soldier. I'll personally lead the next assault! ”

"Nani?! No! His Excellency the Division Commander ......: "The Chief of Staff, Saburo Isata, finally spoke out at this time, and when he heard that the division commander Shigeji Suematsu was actually trying to charge in person, he had to speak out to stop it.

"Say no more! Isoda, if we don't take this position, it will be a great damage to the honor of our 114th Division! Moreover, the base camp will lower its opinion of us. When the time comes, our 114th Division will most likely be reduced to a second-line division, is this what you want to see?! ”

"But. His Excellency ...... Divisional Commander, "Saburo Isoda wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Shigeharu Suematsu.

"Say no more! If we can't take this position, then the fate of our 114th Division in the future can be imagined! Shigeji Suematsu took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry." I'm not going to rush at once. I'll give you one last chance, and if you don't rush up, I'll do it! ”

"Hail!!"

The Japanese army retreated again, and Li Shaotang and Gao Jianbai on the position lay on the position panting. It will take some time for the Japanese to adjust to the shelling. Taking advantage of this time, all the wounded and killed soldiers were carried off the position.

"Brigadier Commander! Brigade! The commander called, look at ......" The herald ran to Gao Jianbai's side under the leadership of the adjutant. Loud voice.

Gao Jianbai was appointed temporary commander of this position. Li Shaotang is his deputy for the time being, and Li Shaotang is a little dissatisfied with this, but he can only sigh.

"Shaotang, come and see. The commander told us to withdraw now......" Gao Jianbai frowned and finished reading the order, and sighed at Li Shaotang.

"What?! No way! Lao Tzu doesn't go! Thousands of Lao Tzu's brothers died on the battlefield, if Lao Tzu withdraws, what face will he have to meet the brothers?! Lao Tzu doesn't go!! ”

Li Shaotang became angry on the spot when he heard Gao Jianbai's words, and the seven or eight thousand people in the two regiments of the 250th Brigade fought until now, and only about 3,000 people can still stand.

The position that he exchanged for the flesh and blood of his soldiers was suddenly ordered to withdraw, how willing do you call him?!

"If you don't go, you have to go! Execute the order!! Gao Jian Bai Tie turned to the adjutant behind him with a blue face and trembling lips: "Order all departments!" Immediately withdraw from the position and hang up all the tattered pants that have been changed! ”

"Yes!!" The adjutant replied loudly. And Li Shaotang suddenly shouted: "Don't go!" I'll tell you about Gao Jianbai. Either you kill Lao Tzu here, or you fight to the death with Lao Tzu on the battlefield! ”

"If you want to carry out the order, you will do it! I don't believe in this! Thousands of my brothers are lying here, and Lao Tzu can't do it if he wants to withdraw like this! I'm just going to die, and I'm going to die on this front!! ”

"Li Shaotang! I'm the highest magistrate here! You have to carry out the order! Gao Jianbai was also angry, and scolded Li Shaotang: "Do you think Lao Tzu is greedy for life and afraid of death?!" Our 251st Brigade also has more than 3,000 brothers lying here! ”

"Lao Tzu is not reconciled! Lao Tzu is also hot! But what can you do if you are not reconciled?! The Japanese are just stronger than us in terms of firepower! Gao Jianbai took a deep breath and said, "You think I want to withdraw?!" I'm willing to withdraw?! But this is the order! ”

"As soldiers, we make it our duty to obey orders! This is our vocation, and we should do it......"

Saying that, Gao Jianbai lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "How long has it been?!" Our two brigades filled with more than 7,000 brothers. How many more can we fill in?! If you continue to fight like this, will you be willing to wait until our two brigades are all filled in?! ”

Li Shaotang was speechless, looking at the gunsmoke and mutilated corpses on the battlefield. There are also those soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who are constantly carrying down, and his tears fell out of his eyes all of a sudden.

"Withdraw!! ......" Li Shaotang burst out of his throat, and the whole person collapsed to the ground......

Xuchang city. Gao Guizi looked at it expressionlessly

The man across the table. After a while, he said, "You asked us to take it down, we pulled it down." But how to defend this Xuchang City, you give a chapter out. ”

"I lost more than 7,000 soldiers on the battlefield, and if you want to withdraw with a word, I will withdraw. If you can't hold this Xuchang City......"

"I can't hold it, it's because I'm already dead on the ground. You don't have to shoot it. The man in front of Gao Guizi laughed softly and said, "Defending Nanjing will not be much easier than guarding Xuchang, we have all defended it." Do you think we're going to be able to hold it here?! ”

Gao Guizi was silent, as a soldier, he really didn't want to admit that his 17th Army was inferior to others. But actually. From the examples of the battle to the results, the 17th Army is really more than a step behind.

"I will assign my men to your troops, they are the best fighters. It is the most powerful elite of our entire Wehrmacht. As he spoke, the man's face became solemn and he said to Gao Guizi: "Originally, it was in accordance with the regulations. We cannot be directly present in your troops. But this is my request to the commander. ”

"You beat you badly, I saw it. I don't want my comrades to die on the battlefield in vain. The man said solemnly to Gao Guizi: "Actually, I think it is extremely unreasonable to let you participate in this battle. ”

"You have not been trained, and you don't know how strong the firepower of the Japanese army will be! You don't even know the formation that the Japanese will take in a white-knuckle battle. That's it. In fact, you are murdering those soldiers! ”

"Bang!" Gao Guizi slammed his fist on the table and yelled at the man: "You can insult me Gao Guizi personally." But you can't insult the soldiers who died on the battlefield! They're all men! Bloody man! None of them took a step back! ”

"I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just talking about things!" This man was not stunned at all, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I will let you see this!" As long as your men cooperate, I will show you how to hold your ground with minimal casualties! ”

"I'll wait!" Gao Guizi stared at this man for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If you can really do it, I, Gao Guizi, as the commander of the Seventeenth Army, thank you!" ”

The man smiled and turned and walked out of the headquarters.

This man is from the crow's Lin Shan River. The reason why he targeted Gao Guizi like this was that he received an order from the General Staff of the Wehrmacht.

Su Zongzhe believes that if these arrogant generals want to honestly come to the imperial capital to study military affairs, then they must have a good record to show them.

Undoubtedly, this battle of Zhengzhou is the best opportunity. The crows directly entered the Jin Sui army in a way that did not reveal their identities, and then directly used tactics to convince them.

There is no better way to convince than this, and at the same time it is one of the best ways to bring both sides together. The Jin Sui army was different from the defenders of Nanjing, who were a group of soldiers who had been left behind.

It is because of how easily they are integrated into the Wehrmacht. These Jin Sui troops were also different from the Gui troops. The two bigwigs of the Gui family have made it clear that they will absolutely support any decision of the Wehrmacht General Staff.

Even the reforms implemented by the coalition government were tried out within the control of the Gui faction with the full support of the two Gui bigwigs. They don't have Yan Xishan's mind of taking a handful of everything, although they also think about their own interests, but their relative utilitarianism is smaller than that of Yan Laoxi.

"I've already told Gao Peiwu, let's go into the position and prepare now." After coming out, Lin Shanhe found his team members and said to them directly.

"The meaning of the Chief of General Staff is very clear, let us show Jin Suijun what is called real tunnel warfare! It's all old people in the army, I won't talk nonsense! Don't lose the face of the commander-in-chief on the battlefield! ”

"Yes!!" These men replied excitedly, they had always wanted to be able to go to the battlefield and fight happily. But their status as crows often restricts their movements.

This leaves them with a lot of things to do in secrecy. This is a rare opportunity. They can play all their position skills without any scruples, and they are naturally excited.

After the order was announced, Lin Shanhe began to talk to everyone about the battle plan he had discussed with several staff officers. Sapper shovels and weapons were distributed to the crows.

Although they hadn't experienced such a battle formation for a long time, none of them had survived. After the order was announced, the men divided into several detachments and quickly and covertly entered the second-line position.

As soon as they arrived at the position. Without any orders, these men tacitly cooperated and began the transformation of the tunnel—the Jin Sui army had already built fortifications here.

It's just that these fortifications were somewhat damaged under the shelling, and the crows still need to repair the place.

A group of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who withdrew from the forward positions watched them busy, although they could see that these people were not the soldiers of their own Jin Sui Army, but many of them could see that these were definitely the elite of the elite.

Even though the Japanese troops in front of them were constantly bombarding their positions with artillery fire, these men maintained a silent but steady pace and excavated and rebuilt the fortifications.

One by one, the traffic trenches were reinforced, and the anti-artillery holes were also renovated. The bunkers on the positions were demolished to a certain extent, and the supplies were built in other places that were more useful to the crows.

"Who do you belong to?! How did you get here?! After looking at it for a while, Gao Jianbai finally asked these men in a hoarse voice.

A man in his thirties, dressed and unable to tell what the army sign was, stepped forward. He grinned at Gao Jianbai and said, "Brigade Commander Gao, we are a unit under the National Defense Force. I have come to take over your temporary garrison so that you can go down and repair. But we won't be able to hold on for long, and I hope you can take over as soon as possible after repairing......"

Gao Jianbai nodded. He gave a military salute and said, "Hard work!" ”

Then he withdrew from the position with the wounded soldiers, looking at Gao Jianbai's back, a crow complained: "Boss, why do you say anything to let them take over the battle as soon as possible?!" Just us people, I still don't believe that the little devil can get in?! I can't hold this position. We'll just wipe our necks and forget it. Save the crow from being embarrassed......"

"You kid knows a fart!" The captain scolded with a smile: "This Gao Jianbai is a man! With his 251 brigade, he blocked the little devil's six attacks, and they didn't have our skills! ”

"It's for this blood. Lao Tzu convinced him that he was high and white. To say these words to him is to respect those Jin Suijun brothers who died thousands on the battlefield. These are bloody men, and our national defense forces have always respected these men in our hearts! Do you understand?! ”

"Yes! Captain, I know it's wrong! This man was not ambiguous, and said in a deep voice to his captain: "Don't worry, captain, I will definitely kill more devils in a while to avenge the brothers of the Jin Suijun!" ”

The crow is preparing, but Shigeharu Suematsu is full of ambition. He boarded the positions guarded by the original 250 and 251 brigades, and looked at the mess above with satisfaction.

"Yo Si! The monarchs are worthy of being the model of the emperor's ** people, and after all, they repelled these damn Chinese dolphins! Shigeharu Suematsu said in a deep voice to the scarred commanders of the two brigades: "For this, I will personally ask the base camp for your credit!" Please also work hard for the sake of the empire's strategy! For the centennial national fortune of the empire! ”

"Hail!! Empire Onboard!! ”

Bursts of cheers rang out from the Position Mountain, and the Japanese soldiers who had attacked the position couldn't stop howling loudly. And the crows here are still silent, constantly reinforcing their fortifications.

"Let those dolphins on the other side live one more night, tomorrow! We're going to send them all to hell. Shigeharu Suematsu looked contemptuously at the constantly reinforcing positions and snorted coldly: "Just like that, do you think you can withstand the iron hooves of the empire?!" What a ridiculous wretched wretch......"

"It seems that these devils will not come to die today, so let the brothers hurry up and clean up. Don't drop the chain for me tomorrow! You know what?! ”

"Yes!!"

ps: The mobile phone is a day of pit daddy, and I go to repair it half dead...... Broken eggs......
