"Head, I'm out of bullets"

"I don't have it anymore"

Several of Kessler's heavy machine gunners stopped firing one after another, and the ammunition hand responsible for feeding them held up the empty ammunition box and showed a wry smile to Kessler, Kessler remembered that when he suppressed the machine guns of the Sato Brigade according to Zhao Zhi's order, the bullets of the heavy machine guns were consumed too much. Looking at the large area of earthy yellow halfway up the mountain, Kessler was extremely remorseful, knowing that this would be the case, he brought more bullets with him.

"The heavy machine gun is ready to be withdrawn, and the light machine gun is cut in half" was just about to be used on the blade, and Kessler wanted to keep some of the light machine gun's bullets in case of a pinch. The ceasefire of the heavy machine guns on the pass made the Japanese still a little confused, but then the firepower of the light machine guns also weakened suddenly, which made Takeda Dingsan overjoyed, and the people of China were short of ammunition.

"Order all the troops to press up, this time we must take the pass" Takeda Dingzo drew his command knife and brandished, the fire on the pass weakened so that he gained a trace of confidence, changed the tactics and no longer used the pig tactics of the Japanese army divided into several groups, with the help of the terrain cover began to attack again, and finally after paying hundreds of casualties, the attack reached a position less than 100 meters from the top of the pass, the cunning Japanese army actually used the corpses of their companions to build a bunker, and Kessler and them launched a confrontation.

"Head, this can't be done, our casualties are too great" One of Kessler's machine gunners covered the wound on his shoulder and howled, less than a hundred meters away, giving the Japanese soldiers' accurate marksmanship a chance to put their marksmanship to use, in just a few minutes, Kessler's machine gunners were killed and wounded more than a dozen, and the number of machine gunners' casualties continued to increase.

"Okay, that's it, send sappers to blow up the mountain road in the pass, and I can't let their tanks and armored vehicles come" The Japanese offensive that climbed the pass was like a rainbow, so that Takeda Dingzo saw the hope of victory. A group of sappers with explosives rushed to the first position of the pass, and after a few explosions, several huge pits appeared on the already narrow mountain road, and the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles simply could not cross the pit of this size, and the armored team commanded by Chekov was temporarily blocked in the pass, unless he could immediately organize manpower to fill the pit.

The gunfire on the gunsmoke pass was loud, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and Kessler, who was scorched and blackened, was busy dealing with the attacking Japanese army, but suddenly received an order from Zhao Zhi on a walkie-talkie, telling him to hit all the ammunition and must repel the Japanese attack, otherwise he would immediately withdraw from the battle. The battle has been fought to this extent, Kessler can't withdraw even if he wants to, the Japanese army has shortened the distance between the two sides to 70 meters, and retreating at this time is simply using the Japanese army as a live target.

"Hit all the light machine guns, and drive the Japanese monkeys down the mountain" Kessler also came to the fire, and personally opened fire on the Japanese soldiers with a machine gun, and the light machine guns that hit the fire together aimed at the corpse wall built by the Japanese soldiers with corpses and fired fiercely, and the bullets that were fired tore the corpses and the Japanese soldiers hiding behind all of them into pieces, and after Kessler exerted all his strength, the Japanese troops who attacked the middle of the mountain were finally pushed back, and the angry Takeda Dingsan was pale.

"Yaga, you are all a group of rice buckets, if you can't take the pass again this time, you will all have seppuku" Takeda Dingzo gave each of the embarrassed officers a slap in the face, and gave an ultimatum with a gloomy face. The officers who were forced to helpless looked at each other, and hurriedly divided up to gather their soldiers and prepare to start a new round of attacks, but they all knew very well that such an attack would come again, and they still couldn't take this pass, because they didn't have many bullets.

"Boom" "Boom" Just when the Japanese troops were about to attack, mortar shells suddenly came from their rear, and the non-stop falling mortar shells blew up the whole group of Japanese troops who were ready to attack. "Your Excellency Dazuo, it's the Chinese army, it's the Kuomintang army" The adjutant of Takeda Dingzo helped up the commander who was pressed under him, pointed to a flag that suddenly appeared in the distance with a dull face, and exclaimed in surprise. That's right, Takeda Dingzo's adjutant saw it well, and the flag that suddenly appeared in the distance was the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, and the place where that flag appeared was the rear of the remnants of the 225th Wing, which means that Takeda Dingzo and they have been surrounded.

"Kill" A large number of German-style steel helmets exclusive to the national army rushed up, and the fierce gunfire instantly devoured the disabled Japanese troops in the rear, and the mortar shells that kept falling in mid-air never stopped bombarding the Japanese army. The news of the appearance of the national army has been passed on to Zhao Zhi by Kessler, and Zhao Zhi is not surprised by this sudden appearance of the national army unit, because the commander of this national army unit is Xu Yunzhao, who was driven out of Zhangwu County by Zhao Zhi before.

"Defense, defense" Takeda Dingzo didn't care about Kessler on the pass now, he was just busy directing his soldiers to organize defense, and the menacing national army blocked it. "Your Excellency Dazuo, let's escort you to retreat, we don't have much ammunition, we can't stop them" Takeda Dingsan's adjutant and a few personal officers pulled Takeda Dingzo and drilled into a piece of bushes and weeds, this kind of battlefield where thousands of people are fighting, it is too normal to get rid of some people, not to mention that Kessler guarding the pass They don't have the strength to go down the mountain to pursue, Zhutian Dingzo They just need to guard against Xu Yunzhao's troops.

The junior officers who had been left behind by Takeda were still frantically organizing the soldiers to fight back, when they suddenly heard someone outside the encirclement shouting in Japanese that their division commander, Takeda Dingzo, had fled, and told the rest of them to lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise they would all be killed. In this way, the Japanese army originally didn't believe it, but after looking around, they couldn't find the division commander and a few senior officers, and at present, only the officer with the highest combat rank is just a captain.

Morale is a very wonderful thing, sometimes it can make people enthusiastic and invigorate the pursuit of hundreds of miles to defeat the enemy, sometimes it can make a unit lose its fighting spirit in an instant, and even the combat effectiveness is completely destroyed, the current 225th Wing is the latter situation, after learning that their division commander escaped and abandoned them in a hurry, the remaining 225 Wing soldiers chose to give up resistance and surrender to the troops of the national army. Their only demand was to immediately treat the wounded soldiers and release them home, they were tired of the war and wanted to return to their homeland alive.

"Chief Zhao, your battle plan is really wonderful, this is the first time we have captured so many Japanese prisoners" When Zhao Zhi led a group of mercenaries guarding him to cross the pass, Xu Yunzhao, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a smile on his face. The Japanese soldiers who surrendered were squatting in the valley below the pass, and their weapons were collected very smoothly, and even some Japanese soldiers took the initiative to help put their rifles together, which made it very easy for the national soldiers who were responsible for guarding them.

and Xu Yunzhao looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and shook Xu Yunzhao together, Xu Yunzhao and his infantry regiment were driven out of Zhangwu County by Zhao Zhi, which was originally a plan set up by Zhao Zhi and Xu Yunzhao, because long before Xu Yunzhao chose to come to Zhangwu County to support Zhao Zhi, the military commander sent Xu Yunzhao information, and one of his logistics staff officers was a spy bribed by the Japanese army. After learning that an infantry regiment of the national army was stationed in Zhangwu County, the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi was really fooled, and took advantage of the emptiness of Zhangwu County's troops to transfer the 225th Wing from Yuncheng.

In order not to startle the snake, Xu Yunzhao informed Zhao Zhi in code words when he was gathering with Zhao Zhi, so after hiding from everyone, Zhao Zhi and Xu Yunzhao sang a double reed. Otherwise, after the 225th Wing was ambushed at Stone Beach and lost all its heavy weapons, where would Takeda Dingsan have the courage to rush to Zhangwu County, didn't he just receive the information from the special high school about the emptiness of Zhangwu County's troops, Zhutian Dingsan, who lost heavy weapons, wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Zhangwu County's troops to take the county seat and save face in front of the division commander, but unexpectedly fell into Zhao Zhi's trap.

Xu Yunzhao, who pretended to be driven out of Zhangwu County by Zhao Zhi, handed over the Japanese spies lurking in his regiment to the military commanders the day after leaving the county seat, but he led his troops over the mountains and mountains to go around in a big circle, and quietly lurked in a mountain col more than 20 miles away from Banqiao, and even Xu Mang, who he trusted the most, did not know where the destination of this trip was. It wasn't until Kessler's ambush plan failed, and Zhao Zhi watched the people of the 225th Wing cross the pass into the boundary of Zhangwu County, and then quietly ordered Yu Dazhi to take a team of scouts to contact Xu Yunzhao, the reason why he did not choose radio contact was that Zhao Zhi was afraid that the 225th Wing would detect their telecommunications.

For the sake of Xu Yunzhao's combat strength, Zhao Zhi secretly told him about a weapon hiding place outside the city before Xu Yunzhao left Zhangwu County, otherwise Xu Yunzhao's troops would have so many machine guns and mortars. When Kessler just exchanged fire with the Japanese army, Xu Yunzhao was like an attack, but Yu Dazhi stopped him, but it was not his husband's intention to defeat the Japanese army, or to teach the Japanese army a lesson, they would continue to send troops to attack Zhangwu County, and if they wanted to fight, they had to seize the right time and fight hard.

"Sir, I found it, this is the flag of the 225th Wing, this is the command knife of the Wing Captain Takeda Dingzo that our people picked up" Yu Dazhi, dressed as a Japanese officer, hurriedly ran over, and the joy on his face couldn't help but make people laugh. Zhao Zhi took the flag of the 225th Wing and looked at it, turned around and looked at the confused Xu Yunzhao with a smile and said, "My Grand Master Xu, it's time for you to go out in person."
