Takuya Suwahara said: "There is no turning back when he draws the bow. General, we have already bet too many bets. Now it has become a situation where it is difficult to get rid of the tiger, so we can only continue to invest in the bet!"

Okamura Yasuji's expression froze and said, "You mean, the chariot troops?"

"Yes!" Takuya Suwahara said solemnly, "From the current situation, it is impossible for infantry to quickly penetrate into the core area of ​​the bandit area by relying solely on infantry, so the chariot troops can only coordinate with infantry to launch an attack."

After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said: "In short, it is necessary to ensure that seven to eight infantry brigades break through the Eighth Route Army's blockade and take the lead in seizing the core area of ​​the bandit area, otherwise this battle will inevitably last for a long time!"

Okamura Yasuji actually had this idea, but hesitated.

But after listening to Takuya Mizuhara's opinion, he immediately made up his mind.

At this moment, Okamura Yasuji said: "Order the 3rd Chariot Division to dispatch 5 chariot squadrons immediately, and cooperate with the infantry brigades to advance quickly in a team!"

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasushi paused his head.

...

At this time, on the battlefield near Chenzhuang.

A regiment of the Second Detachment led by Wang Ye, the 2nd Battalion of the Guards and the Five Local Battalions of the Third Division was launching a fierce attack on one of the infantry brigades of the Japanese army, while Sun Bin led the other four battalions of the Third Division and the militia to fight to the death to block the other four Japanese infantry brigades, and the battle was very difficult.

Originally, I could have barely persevered.

But it was no longer possible when the Japanese army threw into the tank.

The four combat directions soon became air leakage from all sides.

While fighting here, a communicator ran over panting and reported: "Commander, the Japanese offensive is too fierce. The 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment has retreated to Xiaochenzhuang!"

"What?" Sun Bin was shocked when he heard this.

The order given by Wang Ye was to use favorable terrain, fight and retreat, and continue the Japanese army's advancement speed as much as possible, which required the high consistency of several battalions responsible for blocking and militia.

If one of the battalions retreats too quickly, the other four battalions will become passive.

Now, the battalion of Xiao Chenzhuang is obviously retreating too quickly and has threatened the other three battalions. Once Xiao Chenzhuang is abandoned, the Japanese on the way will be able to encircle the retreat of the other three battalions and militias. The entire defense line will collapse immediately and there will be no way to fight the battles behind.

This is actually breaking one point and breaking the entire line.

At this moment, Sun Bin could only say to Gu Xiaobei: "Xiaobei, bring a guard company to support Xiaochenzhuang immediately!"

There is a guard battalion in the third division, which is a reinforcement battalion with about 500 people. It is the last reserve team in Sun Bin's hands. Sun Bin originally did not intend to use the reserve team easily.

But now there is no way.

And Gu Xiaobei can only let him go to the battlefield.

Because except for Gu Xiaobei, there are no cadres around him.

There were not many veterans in the third division. Last time in Yunqi Town, Tiandagang fought fiercely and sacrificed many veterans. Now even many platoon leaders and company commanders were promoted by surprise.

So in the third division, Gu Xiaobei is already a veteran.

Gu Xiaobei did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed: "Yes!"

Seeing Gu Xiaobei turning around and leaving, Sun Bin reminded again: "Xiaobei, be careful!"

Gu Xiaobei turned around and turned around, saluted Sun Bin, and then turned around and hurried away.

As soon as Gu Xiaobei left, Carlson immediately took his team and carried the camera on his back. Carlson followed him with a rifle instead.

When Gu Xiaobei led the guard company to hurry up, Xiao Chenzhuang was already in danger.

While ordering the troops to quickly enter the position, Gu Xiaobei called over a soldier who was standing on the position.

"This brother." Gu Xiaobei curled up in the trench and asked the warrior, "Where are you Captain Niu? Where are Niu Dae eggs?"

"Our battalion commander?" The soldier wiped the sweat from his face, perhaps blood, and said tragically, "He has sacrificed."

Gu Xiaobei's face changed slightly and he asked again: "What about your instructor?"

The warrior gasped and replied, "Sacrificed too."

"Ah?" Gu Xiaobei's face became increasingly ugly, and he said, "What about your deputy battalion commander and deputy instructor?"

"Everything was sacrificed, all of them were sacrificed." The soldier said more and more miserably, "not only the deputy battalion commander, the deputy instructor, but also our company commander and instructor. The company commander and instructor of the other two companies have also died. The highest position is the deputy platoon leader of the third platoon."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Xiaobei wanted to cry.

Carlson learned the whole story through the translation and was also in awe.

Moreover, Carlson could not imagine that the officers of a unit had such great casualties and had not collapsed yet? What kind of magic does this unit have? Even if they face such a huge sacrifice, they can always maintain high fighting spirit!

Unstoppable, Carlson felt a strong impulse to explore and record the force.

Carlson said to his escort Tom: "Tom, get the camera up quickly, I want to record the video!"

"What did you say?" Tom protested in disbelief, "Sir, the Japanese army is about to attack. At this time, let me set up a camera to record video. Are you serious about this?"

"Yes, I'm talking to you very seriously now." Carlson stared at Tom's eyes and said word by word, "I'll ask you to rack that damn camera, right away, right now!"

"Damn it, I'll stop doing it!" Tom threw down the camera and turned around and ran.

"You want to go crazy with these Chinese guys, just as you like, I don't want to die."

"What a piece of shit." Looking at Tom who was running away with his head in his arms, Carlson cursed and could only set up the camera himself and point the lens at the front position, and started shooting directly facing Gu Xiaobei.

...

Taiyuan, the combat hall of the 1st Army Command.

"Baga, I have invested five chariot squadrons in concert to fight, but I can't even tear open the groundhog defense line of Okamura." Okamura Nishi said gritting his teeth, "This is really incredible."

"Hayi." Takuya Suwabata replied, "It can be judged from the initial propulsion speed of these 15 infantry brigades. Wang Ye actually did not realize that there was a fatal loophole in his groundhog defense line, so he did not expect that the Imperial Army would invest 15 infantry brigades to launch saturated infiltration."

"However, it is indeed surprising that the 386th Brigade was able to quickly adjust its defense deployment in the event of surprise and stubbornly resist the infiltration of the fifteen infantry brigades of the Imperial Army."

"It is even more shocking that the Imperial Army still cannot quickly form a breakthrough after it is put into five chariot squadrons."

Speaking of this, Takuya Suwahara continued: "This is enough to prove that the tenacious combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the superb command ability of Wang Ye."

Hearing this, Okamura Yasuji became more and more determined.

This time, no matter what, it will be severely damaged or even wiped out the 386th Brigade.

There are also Chen Gen and Wang Ye, who will capture or kill these two guys alive no matter what.

It would be too dangerous to let these two Eighth Route Army generals with extremely superb command and achievement alive, and it would be even more like a disaster for the North China Front Army.

At this time, Takuya Suwahara said: "But the 386th Brigade's military strength disadvantage is objective after all, so I can assert that the Imperial Army will soon be able to make a breakthrough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Communications Division Chief Inoue Yasushi walked in quickly.

"Your Excellency General." Inoue Yasuto reported first, "Sasaki Brigade has advanced to the vicinity of Xiaochenzhuang."

"Xiao Chenzhuang?" Okamura Yanji's eyes immediately fell on the sand table. Mizuhara Takuya found Xiao Chenzhuang's location on the sand table as soon as possible and pointed the wooden pole to Okamura Yanji.

Masao Inamori quickly pushed the war game representing Sasaki's brigade to the location of Xiaochenzhuang.

After seeing the location of Xiao Chenzhuang clearly, Okamura Yasuji's eyes lit up and said happily: "Very good. If the Sasaki Brigade can detour for two kilometers further forward, it can get rid of the entanglement of the 386th Brigade, and it will completely penetrate into the core area of ​​the bandit area. At this time, whether it is to cover the two wings to cover the brothers' troops to expand their results, or to launch the groundhog fortifications near Chenzhuang on the spot, the initiative will be taken to me!"

Takuya Suwara also smiled and said, "It is obvious that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has been used to its limit, so the entire defense line has become a linear defense. At this time, the Imperial Army only needs to break through one of them, and the entire defense line of the 386th Brigade will shatter like an eggshell. The general's rebel is already done!"

"Hey, this is too early to say." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said.

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji ordered Inoue Yasu: "Inoue, please call Sasaki Brigade not to get too entangled with the Eighth Route Army in Xiaochenzhuang. If you encounter obstacles in the gap between the villages, you must defeat it in the shortest time at all costs, and continue to penetrate forward with great strides!"

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasushi paused his head.

...

The battlefield near Xiaochenzhuang.

Carlson held the camera while shaking the handle while pointing the lens at Gu Xiaobei.

Although it was nighttime, the entire battlefield could still be clearly seen with the red light generated by the explosion of shells and grenades, as well as the burning of wheat straw piles, sweet potato vines and other debris on the position.

Since the Japanese army chose a gap between the two villages, the fortifications built in advance were not useful.

Gu Xiaobei and his team could only fight with the shallow fox pits and trenches that were temporarily dug, so they fought very hard and the casualties of the troops were also very heavy.

"Battleman Gu, tank! The Japanese tank is coming up again!"

The warrior guarding a fox pit in front of him roared.

Carlson slightly adjusted the camera lens and saw the Japanese tanks.

It should be a Type 97 medium tank. While advancing, it was straggling violently with the front-firing machine gun. The dazzling tongue of flames swept through the fox pit ahead.

The warrior who had just issued a warning was instantly beaten into a sieve.

From the camera lens, Carlson even saw the sprinkling of liquid in the night, it was blood!

"Moulder Bottle!" Gu Xiaobei's voice sounded, "Moulder Bottle! Get the moulder Bottle and kill the Japanese tank!"

"Capital Commander Gu, there are no more mobilizers!" A voice sounded, "Our mobilizers were not many, and the only few were used up just now!"

"Explosive pack!" Gu Xiaobei's voice sounded again, "Get the explosive pack!"

"Explosive pack, explosive pack is here!" A militia soon sent the explosive pack.

Then, without waiting for Gu Xiaobei to give orders, a soldier picked up the explosive bag and jumped out of the trench.

In the night sky, the soldier roared slightly hoarsely: "I am a Communist, I will go first!"

Carlson stared at the warrior through the camera. He was obviously a veteran who had experienced many battles. He did not rush forward in a daze, but instead took a zigzag route and made various tactical avoidance actions.

However, it was useless, because there were a large number of infantry behind the Japanese tanks.

The dense machine gun and rifle fire poured over, and the soldier quickly fell to the ground.

"Donkey, I'll fight with you!" Another soldier jumped up from the trench and rushed towards the soldier who had fallen to the ground before, and picked up the explosive bag from the soldier's body and continued to rush forward.

It was still useless, and another dense firepower poured over, and the second soldier fell into a pool of blood again.

"Damn it!" Gu Xiaobei took off his military cap and slapped it on the ground, shouting loudly, "Firepower cover! All machine guns and submachine gun fire cover!"
To be continued...
