Qudu Village, Xinle County.

At this moment, a big battle is breaking out here!

Moreover, this is the first battle in the Japanese North China Front Army’s major mobilization campaign!

The 12th Independent Regiment of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army, more than 35oo were lined up to attack the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Qudu Village, Xinle County!

The artillery fire roared!

The machine gun sounded!

The shouts of killing are shocking!

One by one, the Japanese army was charging forward again and again without fear of death!

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and war, and the breath of blood and fire was like the god of death, covering this land.

The Eighth Route Army, which fought against the 12th Independent Regiment of the Japanese Army, was the 769th Regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division.

~~~~~~

The 769th Regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

"Captain, no, the Japanese launched a fierce attack on my left-wing position!"

"Captain, our right wing position is being attacked by the Japanese army!"

"Captain, the first line of defense of our regiment headquarters is now covered by the Japanese artillery fire, and the entire first line of defense has completely turned into a sea of ​​fire!"

The battle just started less than 2 minutes ago, and one bad news came one after another like a storm!

The moment the battle began, Jin almost entered a white-hot stage!

The firepower of a reorganized Japanese wing is no joke.

With the same force, the Japanese army's firepower configuration is more than 5 times that of ordinary Eighth Route Army!

The situation on the battlefield seemed to have formed a one-sided situation from the beginning.

Zheng Guozhong, the leader of the 769th Regiment, seemed to have not been affected by the harsh war situation at all.

"Hahaha, the little Japanese devils are finally here!"

The regiment commander Zheng Guozhong laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the Japanese really respect us. The first battle to clean up the security and mobilize North China is our 769th Regiment!"

Hearing this, several people around him were immediately unable to laugh or cry.

You should know that their 769th Regiment is indeed one of the most capable regiments of the Eighth Route Army, but the troops here are less than 80 people.

In contrast, the Japanese army was a reorganized gang with more than 35oo people.

The strength of the two sides is extremely different.

This battle is worrying!

An Eighth Route Army soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, when is this time? You can still laugh, your heart is so big!"

The other person also said anxiously: "Captain, according to the plan of the division headquarters, we should withdraw now and we cannot delay any further, otherwise we will be swallowed by the Japanese in one bite!"

"Yes!" The rest of the people around him also advised him.

"No hurry!"

The leader of the regiment Zheng Guozhong waved his hand and said, "What's going on? The good show has just begun. If you retreat at this time, wouldn't it waste the Japanese's hard work and ruin the reputation of our 769th Regiment?"

Hearing this, everyone was speechless!

The 769th Regiment is one of the most capable regiments among the Eighth Route Army, and the regiment is also an old Red Army unit.

The regiment was predecessored by the Red 28th Regiment during the Huangma Uprising on November 14, 1927. It experienced various battles and was actually one of the troops with the most wars in our army, with a great record.

And he has almost never lost a battle, and is an ever-winning group that is invincible and invincible.

The night attack on the Japanese Yangming Fort Airport is one of the regiment's masterpieces.

This regiment is the famous "Hundred General Regiment" among the entire Eighth Route Army.

116 generals from the Republic were successively "fighted".

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his regiment commander was the founding general, Chen Xilian.

The second regiment commander: Kong Qingde, founding lieutenant general, and later served as deputy commander of the Wuhan Military Region;

The third regiment commander: Wang Jinshan, founding lieutenant general, later served as commander of the 12th Army and consultant of the Nanjing Military Region;

The fourth regiment commander: that is, the current regiment commander, Zheng Guozhong, founding major general, and later served as deputy commander of the Chinese Navy;

The regiment commander Zheng Guozhong smiled sternly and said, "Comrades, my 769th Regiment is one of the heroic regiments of the entire Eighth Route Army. The first battle in this Japanese army's grand sweep campaign was to target our 769th Regiment."

"If we are afraid of this first battle and withdraw now, what should the other brother troops do?"

"If we can't drive this head well, it will inevitably have a very bad impact on the morale of my entire 385th Brigade and even the entire 129th Division!"

After the words fell, everyone around them fell silent.

Yes, we are a hero group. If we withdraw, wouldn’t it have a great impact on the morale of the army?

We are the 769th Regiment, the 769th Regiment that is invincible and invincible!

We can't just withdraw before we can work hard with the Japanese!

If we retreat now, wouldn’t it be a shame for our 769th Regiment!

"hehe!"

The commander Zheng Guozhong glanced at everyone present and said, "Therefore, we can't retreat in this battle, not only can we withdraw now, but we can't retreat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

"We must nail it here like a nail, giving the entire brigade, the division, and the army a reassurance!"

"We must use practical actions to tell everyone that the final victory of this war must belong to our Eighth Route Army and our people!"

After the last words, the group leader Zheng Guozhong almost yelled.

"But, but~~~!"

Suddenly another person stood up and wanted to oppose his decision, but was interrupted by the regiment commander Zheng Guozhong.

"Chief of Staff, I know what you are going to say?"

The regiment commander Zheng Guozhong said in a deep voice: "The orders given to us by the division headquarters and the brigade headquarters are indeed to hide if possible, and use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to destroy the Japanese siege. However, the commanders of the division headquarters and the brigade headquarters obviously did not know that the first battle of the Japanese's large-scale mobilization was to attack our 769th Regiment."

"Even the division commander and the brigade commander still do not agree that we will stick here and fight the Japanese with great joy, but today I want to tell you something."

"They are away, and the military orders are not accepted!"

He knew the importance of this battle too much.

If the start is not smooth, everything will be unhappy;

If the start goes well, everything will have room for improvement.

If this battle is withdrawn before it can be fought much, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the morale of the entire army!

If you are away, you will not accept any military orders!

It was not Zheng Guozhong's original intention, but it was forced by the situation!

After the words came to an end, everyone present immediately shouted.

"Captain, we will fight whatever you say!"

"Yes, our 769th regiment hasn't been afraid of anyone yet!"

"Damn the Japanese, even if they want to swallow our 769th regiment in one bite, we will still break his teeth!"

At this time, the chief of staff of the 769th Regiment also made up his mind and sighed: "You are the regiment commander, I will listen to you!"

"Okay~~~!"

Suddenly, the regiment commander Zheng Guozhong hammered the table in front of him and whispered loudly: "Brothers, then let's have a good fight with the Japanese today. If we don't hurt the Japanese, we can't withdraw anything we say!"

"My reputation of the 769th Regiment will not allow any defilement!"

The regiment commander Zheng Guozhong shouted: "Now I order that everyone in the regiment will immediately go into the battle and beat me up the Japanese devils!"

~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

The news that the 769th Regiment and the Japanese army fought in Xinle County, Shijiazhuang spread throughout the Eighth Route Army in an instant.

Everyone knows that this big sweep has finally arrived!

Moreover, as Xinle County moves, Japanese troops from other parts of North China will also fight one after another.

Ouyang, who was far away in Guantao County, pressed his hands hard on the map in front of him, looking at Yang Liqing and others, and said gently: "Three thousand miles of beacon has arrived, how can the 769th Regiment be beautiful? Whoever takes the lead in this battle and whoever is brave in this battle? My leading guerrillas should be willing to give up the lead!"

"Now I order the leader guerrillas to attack!"
