"Quick, hurry up! Brothers, hurry up and build a defensive position. The Japanese are coming soon. Heavy machine guns and light machine guns are arranged interlaced. Mortars must also be arranged. It depends on these guys to suppress the Japanese machine gun firepower points." Xu Feipeng, the commander of the 4th Regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, was taking a group of officers to patrol the positions.

They had just arrived here, and after receiving the order from the commander Qin Shou, they immediately rushed here from a hidden place to intercept the Japanese army. Although the soldiers were very tired, they immediately went to build a position.

"Has the reconnaissance company sent it out?"

"Captain, the reconnaissance company has been dispatched. If the Japanese have any movement, they will report it immediately."

Xu Feipeng nodded and continued to lead people to inspect the defense line.

The current location of the 4th Regiment is in a valley ten kilometers behind the Japanese army, which is only one kilometer wide. But if the Japanese 33rd Division wants to evacuate and retreat to western Myanmar, this is the only way to go.

Although this is not the first time the 4th Regiment has been on the battlefield, it is definitely the first time they fought alone. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the regiment were both nervous and excited. They hope to defeat the Japanese army in this battle and show their reputation. Let the rest of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army know that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is not only powerful in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments, but their 4th Regiment is also able to fight.

Xu Feipeng, the leader of the 4th regiment, was particularly urgent. He hoped that his abilities could be proved!

"Captain, don't worry. The Japanese have already suffered a lot of losses in the frontal attack. The remaining troops are only two or three thousand. If they really attack our defense line, we will definitely be able to withstand theirs." The battalion commander of the 1st Battalion Zong Ronghua patted his chest and promised.

"We must not take it lightly. Although the Japanese have been severely damaged, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. A little negligence may lead to a capsized ship in the gutter. This is the first battle we have fought alone, and we must win!" Xu Feipeng emphasized in particular.

"Yes, regiment commander." Several battalion commanders answered.

"The 1st Battalion first stands on the defense line. The 2nd Battalion builds the second line of defense. The 3rd Battalion serves as a reserve. The artillery battalion provides firepower support to the infantry in front." Although Xu Feipeng was a little nervous, he still issued orders in an orderly manner.

He knew that Qin Shou wanted to wipe out a division of the Japanese army. On the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army had fought for so many years, but never wiped out a division of the Japanese army. However, Qin Shou had this ambition and wanted to create miracles and break this record.

At this moment, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was retreating. After the troops attacking the front line of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army suffered heavy losses, the Japanese army knew that they had lost this battle. If they were not done well, they would have trapped the entire division.

Although this may be very small. They did not think that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army once ate the ability of one of their divisions. Even a division that was seriously dissatisfied, in order to avoid such a situation, Sakurai Seong-3 Lieutenant General chose to act cautiously and led the remaining more than 2,000 Japanese troops to retreat.

"Secretary Commander, do we want to send telegrams to the 18th Division and the 55th Division?" asked Colonel Tanaka Tetsujiro.

A hint of anger flashed across the face of Sakurai Semi-Nei Lieutenant General, and then shook his head: "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

The Third Lieutenant General Sakurai knew that this time, he was completely embarrassed. Among the commanders of the Japanese division, he could not raise his head. But what could he do? Who asked them to make this battle like this?

Of course, Sakurai Temple No. 3 Lieutenant General Sakurai did not think that he was wrong or that his troops were wrong. He blamed the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. If they had not taken down the Japanese arsenal and obtained so many advanced weapons, how could they have become so powerful? Their 33rd Division would not have been defeated so miserably.

"Wait, damn Chinese. When the 55th Division arrives, we will definitely kill you all." Lieutenant General Sakurai Sei-3 swore in his heart. If he did not kill all the anti-Japanese and national salvation troops, his anger and shame would not be washed away at all.

At this time, the scouts of the 4th Regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had already discovered the Japanese army marching along the highway. Because these Japanese army did not pay attention to concealment when marching. They were on torches and making loud noises, and the car's headlights were very bright, so they could be seen from a distance.

The scouts immediately notified the regiment headquarters of this situation.

"Captain, the Japanese are here, and we are still three kilometers away."

"Very good, each unit is in his place and prepare for the battle. What we face is a Japanese devil who was severely injured. There are not many people in total, only two or three thousand. As long as they block their retreat, when the main force arrives and annihilates them all, we will win!" Xu Feipeng issued an order, and at the same time he did not forget to cheer the troops up.

The officers and soldiers of the entire 4th Regiment were a little nervous and excited at this moment. They hoped that they could defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield and prove that their strength was no worse than that of several main regiments.

"Send a telegram to the army commander, we will definitely stop the Japanese army." Xu Feipeng ordered.

"Yes, the leader."

The communications soldier immediately sent a telegram notifying the military headquarters of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

On the front line of defense, the positions of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded. Although they withstood the Japanese attack and caused great casualties to the Japanese army. However, the losses of the 1st Regiment were not small. More than 1,500 people were seriously injured and killed in battle in the regiment, which was equivalent to losing one-third of its combat effectiveness.

There were also some casualties in the 3rd Regiment, the Guard Battalion and the Reconnaissance Battalion. These casualties were sandwiched together, and there were more than 2,500 people in total. This was definitely the most tragic battle since the establishment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

"Old Sun, don't forget to collect those intact weapons. We still have a large number of troops waiting to be used. The 1st Regiment needs to replenish the next, and it also needs a large number of weapons." Qin Shou reminded.

The current anti-Japanese and national salvation army lacks these weapons and equipment.

"Yes, commander." Sun Changwu nodded. The losses of the troops made him very heartbroken. However, it made him very proud that they were able to defeat Japan himself.

"Captain, the 4th Regiment has sent a telegram. The Japanese are retreating and will soon be in contact with the 4th Regiment." A correspondent soldier reported.

"Okay! I didn't expect the Japanese to be so cunning, so they were going to retreat. You can't let them retreat so cheaply. Chen Dehai, lead your 3rd regiment to chase me. Send a telegram to the 5th regiment, so that they can advance from the south immediately. Now, it's time for us to counterattack!" Qin Shou immediately issued a counterattack order.
