Although they were bombarded by grenades, the remaining Japanese still showed a fearless look and continued to fight in with their shining bayonets raised.

At this moment, a burst of artillery shells flew from behind the position.

Phew! Phew!

Boom!

The Japanese in front of the position were immediately covered by artillery fire.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

With a surprised look on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Where did this cannon come from?"

Han Chongcheng shouted: "The sound of this artillery sounds like the Bofors Mountain Artillery. If I guessed correctly, it should be the artillery company directly under the military headquarters coming to support us!"

Liang Shanhao sighed: "This shell came in time!"

At this time, an officer who looked like a lieutenant colonel came towards the position.

Behind the lieutenant colonel were a group of soldiers holding rifles.

As the gunfire rumbled, the lieutenant colonel saluted Liang Shanhao.

Liang Shanhao also saluted the lieutenant colonel.

The lieutenant colonel shouted in a serious tone: "Commander Zhang, commander of the 51st Army Supplementary Regiment Chang Baisheng has been ordered by the military to come for reinforcements!"

With joy on his face, Liang Shanhao exclaimed: "That's great! Captain Chang is such a timely help!"

Commander Chang shouted: "Captain Zhang, what's the next fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier from the first battalion ran back.

With a look of disgrace, the communications soldier shouted urgently: "Report to the regiment, the first and third battalions can't stand it any longer! The little Japs attacking from the flank hit too hard. The first battalion suffered heavy casualties, and the commander of the second battalion was seriously injured.

Request support!"

A trace of solemnity flashed across his face, and Liang Shanhao shouted: "Commander Chang, one battalion is left behind, and the other two battalions are asked to rush over immediately for reinforcements!"

Captain Chang shouted: "Captain Zhang, don't worry!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, Captain Chang led his soldiers and ran towards the flank position.

By this time the bombardment had ended, and there were only sporadic Japanese soldiers left in front of the Bengbu position.

Under the cover of their companions, the wounded Japanese soldiers retreated towards the Huaihe River.

Liang Shanhao immediately ordered a pursuit of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

As the Art of War goes, don't pursue a poor enemy.

But at this time, Liang Shanhao wanted to kill all the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Picking up a Czech-style light machine gun from the ground, Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, charge me! Don't let the little devil go back alive!"

It was nearly dusk, and more than 400 soldiers rushed out of the trenches carrying various weapons.

Three to five minutes later, all the Japanese soldiers were slaughtered.

He raised his hand and swept away the dying Japanese squadron leader with a sweep. Liang Shanhao shouted: "Second Battalion Commander!"

The second battalion commander shouted: "Yes!"

Looking at the getting darker night, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Tell the brothers to carry all the Japanese officers onto the rubber boats!"

Looking confused, the second battalion commander shouted: "Tuanzuo, where are you going to sing?"

A bad smile broke out on his face, and Liang Shanhao shouted: "Of course it's to give the little Japs a kick in the butt! Hurry, put all the corpses of officers above the sergeant sergeant on them for me, and find some pieces of paper for me. I'll give them to the Japs."

Commander, write something!”

The second battalion commander agreed and ordered the soldiers to do as Liang Shanhao said!

However, the second battalion commander did not find a pen, and only found a blank piece of paper on a Japanese lieutenant.

Since there is no pen, Liang Shanhao can only use local materials!

Suddenly pulling out a dagger from his waist, Liang Shanhao stabbed a Japanese corpse severely.

A stream of blood gushed out from the devil's corpse.

The Second Battalion Commander and other soldiers standing near Liang Shanhao were stunned.

Liang Shanhao shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Spread the paper for me!"

After hastily agreeing, the second battalion commander spread out a piece of white paper!

Liang Shanhao stretched out a finger and dipped it in the blood of the little Japanese corpse, and then wrote on the paper.

One minute later, two lines of freehand cursive writing were completed.

Writing in cursive script, the second battalion commander smiled and said: "Seat down, the little devil can't even vomit blood after reading this!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "I just want the little Japanese to vomit blood, go and stick it on the Japanese squadron leader!"

The second battalion commander responded: "Yes!"

After a while, more than a dozen rubber boats floated slowly towards the other side of the Huaihe River in the night.

…

24th Regiment Headquarters.

With a worried face on his face, the captain shouted in a deep voice: "Is there any news from each brigade?"

The chief of staff shook his head: "Not yet!"

After pondering for a while, the commander shouted: "Immediately order the island team to attack immediately!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, captain of the regiment, you must not do this. It is already getting late, and I'm afraid the attack will be unfavorable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier ran in and shouted: "Report to your Excellency, the captain, that the troops attacking from the flank have returned!"

The chief of staff shouted: "How many people have returned?"

The signalman shouted: "There is only one infantry team, and everyone is wounded!"

His face darkened, the captain shouted: "Nani? What's going on?"

The signal soldier shouted: "The imperial soldiers attacking from the flank were flanked by the reinforcements of the Chinese Army and almost suffered heavy losses!"

The commander of the regiment sighed: "Baga! Baga! How come this 51st Army is different from the original Northeast Army and has become so good at fighting?"

The chief of staff responded: "After the Nanjing Massacre, it seems that the resistance of the Chinese army has become more and more intense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a squad leader ran in with a look of panic on his face.

There was a trace of panic in the squad leader's voice: "Report... report to the commander, your Excellency, the riverside... the riverside..."

The captain shouted: "What happened to the river?"

The squad leader shouted: "There are corpses of imperial officers by the river, and they are all lying on the rubber boats and they are back!"

With a stunned look on his face, the captain shouted: "Nani! The Chinese army is so abominable! Come on, take me to see it!"

The commander of the regiment came to the Huaihe River, and the rubber sheets with the corpses of imperial officers came into view.

At that moment, the captain was so angry that he was furious.

At this time, the chief of staff came over with a piece of white paper: "Commander, can you take a look?"

After taking a look, the captain shouted: "It's all in Chinese, I can't understand it!"

Before the war began, the Chief of Staff had disguised himself as a Chinese civilian and conducted intelligence activities in important cities across China, so he was naturally very proficient in Chinese characters.

The chief of staff translated the red letters on the white paper verbatim!

The content on this piece of paper almost greets the ancestors of the Japanese captain all over again.

After listening to this, the Japanese captain was so angry that he felt as if he had eaten shit and was speechless for a long time!

Liang Shanhao's psychological attack was quite destructive.

The Japanese captain's mind was surging, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only curse Baga towards the other side.

The chief of staff ordered the soldiers to carry the imperial officer in the rubber boat ashore and burn it overnight.

In two consecutive attempts to seize the beach, most of the troops were lost. This was the biggest defeat the 24th Regiment Captain had suffered since entering China.

The battle in Songhu was so fierce that the 24th Regiment could withstand it, but the defeat by the Huaihe River was really ugly.

The captain of the 24th Regiment was so ashamed that he really couldn't explain it to the division commander.

At night, the orderly prepared a sumptuous Japanese meal for the commander, including sushi.

After eating and drinking, the commander took out a short knife and stabbed his stomach severely. Then, enduring the severe pain in his lower abdomen, he grabbed a Southern Type 14 pistol and shot him in the head.

But the Southern Type 14 pistol jammed.

With no other choice, the captain could only pick up the dagger and continue to end his life.
Chapter completed!
