Li Jianfeng came with the general trend, but he was not as cautious as Wang Zhengyi, and immediately launched a front-line attack on the position of the New Ninth Regiment.

He was so urgent. Firstly, he was really passive and anxious because of Wang Zhengyi's actions. Secondly, he wanted to show his strength and have a deterrent effect, so that Wang Zhengyi would be honest and not be aggressive.

In fact, after Wang Zhengyi saw the arrival of Li Jianfeng's troops, he stopped fighting. For Wang Zhengyi, taking Nan Hengyan had already met his expectations.

Of course, it would be better if he could win Fenglun, but for him, taking Fengling would have mixed advantages and disadvantages. The good thing was that he could be more proactive, but the bad thing was that he would directly conflict with Li Jianfeng.

Most people would choose the former and like to take the initiative in their own hands, but Wang Zhengyi likes to work secretly and balance things the most.

Therefore, he is not very determined to win the sealing ridge, which is why he has been in a stalemate with the Xinjiu Regiment for so long. The offense and defense between the two sides are more like dealing with errands.

Now that Li Jianfeng is here, he even retreats and stops attacking directly. He is not willing to do anything to Li Jianfeng.

Li Jianfeng also wanted this effect, but he never expected Wang Zhengyi to help. It would be a blessing if they didn't hold him back and take advantage of him.

At this time, Li Jianfeng's troops, except for sending some troops to monitor Wang Zhengyi's movements, all other troops were devoted to the attack on Fengling.

The dense artillery shells blew up the position of the New Ninth Regiment into thick smoke. At this time, Li Jianfeng was strong and energetic, and he knew what saving was. As if he didn't need money, he smashed into the position held by the New Ninth Regiment.

This posture really doesn't look like the puppet army, it really has the posture of the Japanese soldiers.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the puppet troops moved toward the outer positions of the New Ninth Regiment in company units.

The puppet troops did not even make a tentative attack, but launched an all-out attack. Armed with bayonets made by Hanyang or Zhongzheng rifles, the puppet troops advanced alternately under the cover of light and heavy machine guns behind them.

The fourth company of Li Xueyuan was holding the forward position. During this battle, Zhang Yunfei handed over the peripheral defense line of Fengling to He Jingtang's second battalion.

He Jingtang was born in the regular army, and he was more experienced in regular positional warfare. Although the second battalion's combat experience was not as good as that of the first battalion, Zhang Yunfei still put the second battalion in charge of the defense line outside Fengling.

With the cooperation of deep and heavy machine gun fire, the Fourth Company relied on the complete fortifications built by itself to use the terrain to resist the attack launched by the puppet troops.

Now the New Ninth Regiment, like the other Eighth Route Army, lacks heavy firepower, but it does not lack in individual weapons. Zhang Yunfei still accumulated a lot of property.

With sufficient ammunition, complete fortifications, and the well-positioned Fourth Company, the puppet offensive was completely defeated and basically failed to achieve any results.

Especially the several light machine guns, which formed an accurate and ruthless force. Coupled with the almost violent rain of grenades that hit them all over the face, the puppet troops attacked round after round, just like running into an iron wall. They were beaten again and again.

Beat it down.

From this aspect, it shows He Jingtang's skill in setting up defensive positions.

Looking at the defeated attacking troops, Li Jianfeng looked very unhappy. The New Ninth Regiment was also an old rival, and he knew how difficult it was.

I know, I know, but Li Jianfeng is still a little disappointed with his troops. His troops need to be strengthened in terms of weapons and equipment, but when faced with eight groups in front of them, their performance is still unsatisfactory.

So the adjutant next to him said: "Pass my order to organize a death squad and a supervising team. If anyone rushes forward, I will reward you with three hundred silver dollars. The supervising team will bring machine guns. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be shot to death."

"Don't they have a military law in the Central Army? I will implement it once today. The officers retreat first and kill the officers. The soldiers cower and kill the soldiers. The whole team cowers and the whole team sits together. If they can't take it down again, I will kill them today.

There’s going to be a killing spree.”

Despite his murderous tone, the adjutant received the order and did not dare to stay. He immediately turned around to convey the order.

After the adjutant left, a lieutenant colonel who was close to Li Jianfeng looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "Sir, we must not damage our vitality in this battle."

"The Eighth Route Army has built complete fortifications. It can be seen that they have been carefully set up by regular defenders. Moreover, their firepower deployment and troop allocation are quite experienced and fully prepared. Especially the depth of firepower allocation is also very good. Those few

The fire blockade composed of light and heavy machine guns suppressed our attacking troops too hard."

"Most of our attack routes are under the fire blockade of the Eighth Route Army, and until now, they have actually not tried their best to cope with it. We are simply trying to use the Eighth Route Army's defense to make up for it."

"If we attack with such force, even if we solve this eight-pronged attack, we may lose both sides. Commander, you have so many years of experience and it is not easy to accumulate this little capital. If all the capital is spent, how can we maintain the situation?"

"We can capture the soldiers, but what about the loss of weapons and equipment? That guy Wang Zhengyi can't afford it early. Why doesn't he dare to attack and capture Fengling before we come? Isn't he also afraid that an eight-way counterattack will cause huge losses? We

Once the losses here are too great, we will become a meal for Wang Zhengyi and other surrounding forces who are eyeing the surrounding forces. Now, no one has much confidence in how long the Japanese can last. They may collapse soon. These are not, but

Our ability to deal with chaos in the future, sir, you must not act on your own initiative!"

"What you said is all nonsense. Can I not know this truth?" Li Jianfeng's face was a little gloomy, and what his confidant said did make sense.

This is his current predicament. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and everyone can sum it up with rhetoric. What he needs now is to break this predicament, and what he needs is a solution.

"It's not like you don't know the speed of development of this gang. If you let them continue to develop, maybe one of their guns will be put to my head. Instead of letting them take advantage of our scattered garrison, they will eat them up one by one.

, it’s better to strike first, at least now we little devils can use it to connect the eight roads in various places with each other. If these little devils really pack up and leave, then we will have no one to take advantage of."

"Besides, I don't understand the Eighth Route Army. We won't stop until the little devils get out. I want to keep this team under my command. We must first keep the territory so that we can have a steady supply of soldiers and food and pay. Without territory, we

Come up to raise food and pay and recruit soldiers?"

In troubled times, those who can become a figure will not be too bad in terms of character, good or bad, and ability.

Zhang Yunfei and Li Jianfeng wanted to go together. Zhang Yunfei wanted to solve the puppet army's troubles in one fell swoop. Li Jianfeng also had this idea, even more urgently than Zhang Yunfei.

The Eighth Route Army controls a large area of ​​the countryside. If the Eighth Route Army is not destroyed, how much oil can be squeezed out from just the few villages and towns it controls, even if they are wealthy places.

Besides, what he wants is power, and he wants to raise troops, not just to make money. There is not much territory, and there is no soldiers and food. Without supplementary soldiers, there will only be a little wasted life. Without food, there is no hope of expanding the team.

Already.

Look at the little devils now. They have lost a large part of the countryside, and they have begun to live a hard life of eating bran-thick vegetables.
