During this time, our imperial army has cut off their connection with the main force of the national army.

Even if they can get supplements in terms of military strength, they will not get supplements in terms of weapons and supplies.

Therefore, even if the combat effectiveness of the Huben regiment has improved after the First World War in Gushi, it will not increase too much.

With the strength of the 3rd and 6th divisions, they can be wiped out! "

"But!...the imperial army suffered far more casualties than the Chinese army in the battle of Gushi!"

"That's right!" After a pause, Ningji Gangmura said again: "But don't forget, both the 3rd Division and the 6th Division have been replenished after the war!"

Seeing that the chief of staff seemed to be remonstrating, Okamura Ningji also felt that his worries were not unreasonable. After all, every failure of the imperial army was the result of careless underestimation of the enemy.

So he said again: "Of course, your worries, Chief of Staff, are not unreasonable. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I will request the Front Army Command to assign the 28th Division to my command to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the Huben Regiment!"

It is worth mentioning that in order to capture Wuhan, the 9th and 16th divisions under the command of Neiji Okamura had already entered the Wuhan area and were no longer subject to his control and deployment.

At present, Okamura Ningji has only the 3rd and 6th divisions, as well as a number of directly subordinate units available for deployment.

At this time, the phenomenon of insufficient Japanese troops has begun to take shape.

After the First World War in Gushi, although the 3rd and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army both added new soldiers, their overall combat strength was much weaker than before.

Therefore, after such a remonstrance from the Chief of Staff, Okamura Ningji also felt that in order to ensure that the Huben Regiment would be wiped out without any accidents, more troops had to be deployed to join the battle.

…………

After receiving the order, the ghost soldiers of the 3rd and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army withdrew one after another, and even the troops that were chasing the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army stopped their pursuit on their own initiative.

In this way, it happened to give the independent regiment departments on the verge of collapse a very rare respite.

The forces of the devils who besieged Tong Lingshu and the others were also greatly reduced.

In the end, only a little more than one brigade was left, and they continued to besiege them.

Obviously, the devils think that the New Fourth Army is not enough to pose a big threat to them, so naturally they will not leave too many troops.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, these Japanese troops, under the order of a Zhongzuo officer, finally launched a group charge towards the lonely mountain where Tong Lingshu's headquarters was located.

Tong Lingshu's department knew long ago that it was only a matter of time before the little devil launched an attack.

Therefore, it has long been ready for battle.

And relying on some favorable terrain, several lines of defensive firepower were built.

Maybe it was because the little devils didn't pay much attention to Tong Lingshu's department, or these little devils were eager to take orders to Huoshan County, so this time, the little devils didn't even make a tentative attack, so they directly launched a general attack.

Nearly 2000 devil soldiers, under the cover of light mortars, grenades, and light and heavy machine guns, rushed towards the top of Gushan Mountain like locusts crossing the border.

When the devil's vanguard entered the 150-meter attack range, Tong Lingshu decisively gave the order to attack.

To be honest, at this distance, the fighters of the independent regiment could not hit the target accurately and effectively.

But there was no way, if these little devils were allowed to get closer, the devils would charge straight up before they had time to fire.

Fortunately, the independent regiment was funded by Yang Chen, and they had a lot of light and heavy machine guns at once.

At this time, more than 30 light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and the dense bullets formed a huge cross-fire net, immediately knocking down the little devils who were charging ahead.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the rest of the little devils had to find a suitable bunker nearby.

The independent regiment temporarily disintegrated the first wave of the little devil's charge, but it also exposed all the firepower of the machine guns.

The Devil Artillery, who became furious, immediately adjusted and fired at Zhu Yuan, aiming the muzzle at the firepower of the light and heavy machine guns of the Independent Regiment.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!..."

The artillery of the Devil Artillery is extremely accurate and accurate, and the hit rate is almost over 50.00%.

Many shells hit the target accurately, and the violent explosion blasted the machine gunners of the independent regiment flying out with their guns.

After several rounds of rapid fire, at least a dozen or so machine gun positions of the Independence Regiment were destroyed, especially heavy machine gun positions.

This is the result of the independent regiment realizing that the situation is wrong and decisively shifting the position of the machine guns. This has kept nearly half of the light machine guns, otherwise the loss will only be greater.

Although the rest of the shells did not hit the machine gun position, they also landed on the independent regiment's position, causing varying degrees of casualties to other soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Devil's machine gunner immediately opened up all his firepower, completely suppressing the firepower of the independent regiment.

The rest of the devil infantry charged again.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!--"

"Da da da da da da da!——"

Just when the situation of the Independence Regiment was extremely critical, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from behind the devils.

A devil's second lieutenant scrambled and scrambled, and hurried to the devil's lieutenant who was supervising the battle ahead. He didn't even have time to tidy up his hat, and reported in panic: "Report...Report to Your Excellency! The enemy...the enemy's reinforcements are here !"

"Nani? Reinforcements? How can the enemy have reinforcements?"

The devil's lieutenant was surprised, because even if the army withdrew, the other ministries also left a lot of imperial troops to clear up the remaining enemy troops.

It stands to reason that at this time, it is impossible to have reinforcements.

After thinking for a while, the devil's lieutenant shouted: "Theirs, how many people are here?"

"It's densely packed, countless, and their firepower is too fierce. What they hold in their hands is either a light machine gun or a submachine gun.

At this time, the artillery position has been captured by the enemy, and they are heading towards this side.

Your Excellency, the lieutenant, all the troops have withdrawn!Ours, hurry up and withdraw too! "

"boom!"

"Boom!——".

As soon as the Second Lieutenant Guizi finished speaking, a few shells landed not far from the crowd, and the violent explosion did not cause any casualties to the little devil, but it frightened them very much.

A few shells dropped from the sky made the devil Zhongzuo hesitate.
