During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

The first company of the first battalion of the regiment took the lead in taking action, skillfully operating the artillery and launching round after round of fierce attacks on the enemy.

"Bakayarō! We were attacked!"

The Japanese captain was furious when he saw his side suffered such heavy losses.

While roaring in frustration, he hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to lie down immediately to avoid the rain of shells.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into chaos.

"Company Commander!

Look here!

The enemy's vanguard has already engaged in fierce fighting with us!

The battle is so stalemate, should we request reinforcements to help us?"

A fearless soldier shouted anxiously to the company commander beside him.

At this time, the battlefield was filled with smoke and flames, and the deafening sound of gunfire and artillery continued to rise and fall.

Before the soldier finished speaking, more than a dozen artillery shells streaked across the sky like meteors, whistling straight towards the Japanese attacking forces with fierce momentum.

In an instant, explosions resounded through the sky and dust flew everywhere. The Japanese soldiers were dazed by the sudden and fierce artillery fire and fled in panic.

However, the artillery equipment these Japanese devils possessed was very limited. The largest caliber was only the 75mm Type 60 infantry gun and the mm mortar, in addition to some grenade launchers.

Faced with such intensive and fierce bombardment from our death squads, the Japanese had no time to organize an effective counterattack.

Only the few mortars and grenade launchers occasionally let out a few dull roars, but compared with the powerful firepower of our large-caliber artillery, this counterattack force was insignificant, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The Japanese captain stood in the rear, shouting at the top of his lungs to command his soldiers to counterattack.

But no matter how he shouted for orders, the situation could not be effectively controlled.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, the captain finally gave up helplessly.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue fighting, but the gap in firepower between the enemy and us is too great.

With their existing military strength and weapons and equipment, they are simply unable to compete with them.

The Japanese knew that their heavy firepower would be in danger of being destroyed if exposed, so they did not send it to support easily.

On our side, although we successfully blocked the enemy, we also fell into trouble.

The Japanese army brigade that had originally launched a fierce attack along the railway had to stop temporarily after encountering stubborn resistance.

These cunning Japs had intended to find another way to bypass our defense line, but the brave and fearless soldiers had already laid a tight net along the railway. The defense was so tight that not even a fly could fly in, leaving the Japs no chance to exploit.

After learning the outcome of the battle that day, Zhao Gang remained very calm and composed.

He knew in his heart that as long as he could successfully stop the Japanese from advancing, it would be worth it even if he paid some price.

Soon, the four division commanders in charge of commanding the death squad sent a reply to Zhao Gang, saying that as long as they were willing to increase investment in heavy weapons, they would be fully confident of defending the current area and making it impossible for the Japanese to move forward.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not send any fighter planes to participate in the battle that day.

It turned out that they had learned in advance that the defenders had also deployed fighter jets here, so they did not dare to act rashly.

The use of fighter jets is extremely cautious.

As news of the day's battle quickly spread back to the headquarters and the Nanjing Command, all parties were shocked and sent urgent telegrams to Zhao Gang.

Can they withstand the enormous pressure, hold their positions firmly, and ensure that the Japanese cannot break through from this direction?

Faced with numerous concerns and doubts, Zhao Gang felt a great sense of responsibility, but he still firmly stated that he would do his best to complete the task!

Zhao Gang instructed Jiang Xue to send the crucial telegram on his behalf without hesitation.

In the telegram, he spoke earnestly and forcefully: "I, Zhao Gang, swear here that I will defend this place to the bitter end!

I firmly believe that I can withstand the enemy's overwhelming attack.

At the same time, I sincerely hope that the superiors can also grit their teeth and get through this difficult time.

Our Shanxi Province is a land of great feng shui. We will never allow those brutal and cruel devils to trample on it wantonly, forcing our fellow countrymen to live under their iron hoofs and suffer humiliation and hardship! "

“Not only that, we must firmly hold this land and ensure that the support routes to the northwest and other rear areas as well as those connecting with the outside world are safe and sound.

Only in this way can we ensure a continuous supply of materials and provide solid support for subsequent battles."

Zhao Gang's words were like an inspiring war drum, inspiring people and boosting their morale.

However, there was a small group of people in the headquarters who scoffed at this, thinking that he was just boasting and talking nonsense.

You should know that Zhao Gang's troops had fought bloody battles in the Niangzi Pass area before.

But in the end, they were unable to withstand the enemy's fierce offensive.

Therefore, these people prejudiced themselves and believed that Zhao Gang's so-called bold words were just empty talk.

However, it is not.

At that time in Niangzi Pass, Zhao Gang had only two divisions under his command, and there were no other friendly forces around to provide mutual support.

In the desperate situation of being isolated and helpless, although they tried their best to resist, they eventually ran out of ammunition and food and were wiped out.

On the same night, inside the Japanese command center, the atmosphere was so heavy and oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

As the commander of the 14th Division, the ferocious-looking Japanese soldier was furiously calling an emergency meeting of all commanders at all levels involved in today's combat operations.

He widened his eyes, glared fiercely at the group of dejected subordinates in front of him, and cursed mercilessly.

Obviously, the regimental commander could no longer tolerate the terrible performance on the battlefield today.

In his eyes, these subordinates were simply a bunch of cowards, all of them were good-for-nothings and had no combat capability at all.

Facing such a vulnerable enemy, he was unable to defeat him for a long time, which was really humiliating for him.

After a round of scolding, the regiment commander frowned and thought to himself: If this goes on, let alone successfully completing the task assigned by the North China Front Army within half a month as planned, I am afraid that even whether we can win this battle will be a big question mark.

It seems that we must use heavy weapons and equipment tomorrow and increase the intensity of the attack, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous...
