The Japanese stopped after a thousand meters away from the stronghold.

Soon, a 70mm caliber Type 92 infantry cannon was unloaded from a tricycle and was quickly pushed directly in front of the stronghold.

When Liu Er saw this 92 Infantry Cannon, his eyes turned dark.

Damn, now it's so troublesome, the Japanese actually brought all the cannons!

Before Liu Er could change his mind, the Japanese's Type 92 infantry cannon began to fire.

"Boom!" I saw a flash of lipstick, followed by a loud bang, and then there was a clamor behind me. When I looked back quickly, I saw a bunker that had collapsed and rolled up smoke and dust.

"Damn xx!" Liu Er's eyes turned red and the bunker collapsed. Most of the dozen brothers guarding the bunker could not save their lives. The most important thing was that the only heavy machine gun in their camp was also destroyed.

"Quick!" Liu Er yelled, "Retreat the machine gun quickly, hurry up!"

However, it was too late. Before the Self-Defense Force could withdraw the remaining two light machine guns, the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon fired two more guns in succession, and the remaining two bunkers collapsed immediately.

With a distance of one thousand meters, it is difficult to have a large target like a bunker, hit rate is low.

After the bunker was flattened, the Japanese immediately dispatched a small team of infantry to start the first wave of attack.

About fifty Japanese soldiers spread out along both sides of the highway and launched a wavy attack.

Although Liu Er had participated in the battle, his combat experience was limited and his command ability was average. As soon as the Japanese unfolded, he couldn't wait to issue the order to open fire.

The self-defense forces guarding the positions opened fire one after another.

But the distance is nearly a thousand meters, and the hit rate is simply terrible.

The Japanese soldiers spread out in a wavy straggler line were not even lazy to bend over and strode forward with bright bayonets.

At five hundred meters away, the unlucky Japanese finally fell to the ground, so the Japanese began to bend down and accelerate at the same time. At this time, the Japanese supported firepower was also set up, and fired suppression of the Self-Defense Force in the stronghold from the left and right wings. The Self-Defense Force was immediately hit by the fierce machine gun fire.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese were less than fifty meters away from the stronghold.

The attacking Japanese began their final sprint and threw out a row of grenades.

Accompanied by the explosion of "boom boom", dozens of smoke and dust rose from the stronghold.

At least a dozen grenades fell into the trenches, blowing the Self-Defense Forces to the point of flesh and blood.

Liu Er, the battalion commander of the Self-Defense Force, was also killed on the spot. A piece of fragment cut off half of his skull. After falling to the ground, his brain was flowing all over the ground.

"Second brother?!" Liu Wu was stunned for a moment.

But Liu Er can never respond.

"Brothers, fight with the Japanese devils!"

Liu Wu roared, rushed out of the trench with a bayonet.

The self-defense team members guarding the trenches also rushed out of the trenches and launched hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers in front of the positions.

However, on one side are well-trained infantry, while on the other side are just slightly trained militias, the result can be imagined.

Although the Self-Defense Force has more than 200 people and has an absolute numerical advantage, it cannot fight against the Japanese soldiers with only more than 50 people in hand-to-hand combat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, less than fifty people were left in more than two hundred militias.

But there were less than fifty militia left, and they still refused to retreat.

Liu Wu stabbed and stabbed a Japanese man who was hugged by the militia to death. He didn't want to exert too much force, and even the militia behind the Japanese stabbed.

When Liu Wuzheng was upset, a dense gunshot suddenly sounded in front of him.

When he looked up quickly, Liu Wu was surprised to see that many national troops suddenly rushed out of the paths on both sides of the highway, and on the hills on both sides of the highway. He didn't know when heavy machine guns were set up to drain the dense firepower on the Japanese, and even the Japanese left behind were not spared.

"Brothers of the Self-Defense Corps, don't panic."

"The Russians are from the 23rd Army. The Russians are here to save you!"

"I'm so bad, little Japanese will die for me, brothers, rush!"

Looking at the Sichuan Army soldiers rushing towards him like a tide, Liu Wu suddenly felt his feet soft and he fell to the ground. It seemed that this life was saved.

...

Almost at the same time, outside Fenghua County.

The main force of the 16th Division was driving by in a mighty manner.

"Master's seat!Master's seat..." Amid the shouts, Luo Wenliang, the leader of the 48th regiment, ran over panting.

Before Li Tianxia could speak, the Chief of Staff Wei Zhenyue, who was standing there, had already started cursing: "Wenliang, what did you do? There is only one infantry squadron of the Japanese in Fenghua County, but it hasn't been taken down yet?"

A hint of shame appeared on Luo Wenliang's face.

"There are actually not a few Japanese left." Luo Wenliang said with a dark face, "but they occupied two courtyards in the city and resisted stubbornly. These two courtyards are extremely strong, so they can't take them for a while..."

Wei Zhenyue still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Tianxia.

Li Tianxia waved her hand and said, "Leave a company to surround the remaining group of Japanese devils. The main force of the 48th Regiment immediately followed the main force of the master and advanced at full speed along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway!"

"Ah? Stay there without any hesitation?"

"Master, is this OK?"

Wei Zhenyue and Luo Wenliang both questioned.

"Didn't you read the telegram from the headquarters carefully?" Li Tianxia said coldly, "The headquarters' order is to allow us to advance to Xinchang County in the shortest time to prevent the Japanese 17th Division from shrinking its troops so that the brothers can disperse the 17th Division in various county towns, and divide the Japanese in the strongholds and then annihilate them."

"So we can't stay in Fenghua County for too long."

"Bring your troops and follow the master's main force!"

After saying that, Li Tianxia put on the rickshaw and rushed away again.

"Did you hear it? Hurry up and follow the main force." Wei Zhenyue reminded him and also stepped onto the rickshaw to follow Li Tianxia. In a blink of an eye, the two disappeared on the road.

Luo Wenliang came to his senses and shouted: "1st Company Commander!"

A captain officer hurried to Luo Wenliang and shouted: "Yes!"

Luo Wenliang said in a deep voice: "I will leave the Japanese in Fenghua County to you."

After saying that, Luo Wenliang turned around and shouted: "The other battalions, follow the main force of the master, hurry up!"

When the order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the 48th Regiment quickly assembled and then lined up to follow the main force of the 16th Division.

...

At the same time, the 17th Division Division headquarters in Xinchang.

Hirono Takiyoshi had realized something was wrong and canceled the order to reinforce each stronghold half an hour ago, and ordered the garrisons of each outer stronghold to withdraw to the county seat.

However, after the order was issued, no troops were withdrawn back to Xinchang County.

Just as he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, Chief of Staff Matsushima was coming in quickly.

"Matsushima-kun." Hirono Takiyoshi said anxiously, "Or no troops have withdrawn?"
