The bullets spiraled over the heads of both sides, like the season when a meteor shower erupted. However, this "meteor shower" was extremely unfavorable because it symbolized death.

The rifles or machine guns in the hands of the Northeast Army soldiers were roaring, and the guys in the hands of the Japanese were not fire sticks, not to mention that they also had grenade launchers and infantry cannons.

The battle in the east of Bengbu City was extremely fierce. The Sixth Infantry Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army launched a desperate attack under the command of Major General Yoshiyun Akiyama!

"He You Ke (心)!" Akiyama Yoshihiro held his command knife covered with cherry blossoms, and the character "Wu" symbolizing the code name of the Ninth Division was particularly conspicuous.

Countless soldiers from the 6th brigade of the Japanese army were charging to the death.

Seeing this scene, Yoshihiro Akiyama's face full of flesh suddenly thrusts - he enjoyed this feeling very much, as if the day of being promoted to the commander of the division will be tomorrow.

"Your Brigade Commander, if nothing unexpected happens, Bengbu will be captured tomorrow! Congratulations! You will be your brigade Commander Wu Yun Changlong!" Fuji Ino Yoshi, the captain of the 35th Regiment, said excitedly.

"Yoxi, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Regiment are now attacking desperately. I believe there will be a result soon. Fuji-kun, your mission is to not allow a Chinese army to escape the encirclement!" Akiyama Yoshiyun also said excitedly.

"Hay!" Fuji Inu Yoshita said with his head down, as if he was complacent because he had flattered him as if he had flattered him properly.

The battle continued, and bullets and grenade launchers were still flying in the sky or hitting the ground, and then a burst of soil exploded.

There was smoke on the battlefield. Yoshihiro Akiyama was watching this scene in the telescope, but the smile in his eyes was already revealed, and he felt that he was sure to win.

"Yo Xi~ The Seventh Regiment is worthy of being the elite unit of my empire. It is really good at fighting." Seeing the leader of the Seventh Regiment, Colonel Isao, who was leading the attack, Akiyama Yoshihiro nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to Yoshiyun Akiyama's pride, the commander of the 114th Division, Mou Zhongheng (heng), had a dark face like a hot charcoal head.

"Master, why not, order to retreat! If you continue to fight like this, the 340th Brigade will be exhausted." Chief of Staff He Jianbin suggested to Mou Zhongheng.

Mou Zhongheng nodded and said, "You need to retreat, but you don't retreat at this time. It's not dark yet. Retreat at this time is to serve as a living target for the enemy. The front-line troops must hold on until dark! When it's dark, they will issue a retreat order."

As for why the retreat order was issued again in darkness, the reason was very simple. The brothers were determined to retreat on the front line because they still had a breath in their hearts. If the retreat order was issued at this time, it would undoubtedly vent the breath in the hearts of the soldiers.

Therefore, Mou Zhongheng must issue an order to retreat and break through after dark.

...

That night, the 340th Brigade of the 114th Division withdrew from Bengbu overnight and retreated to the north bank of the Huai River.

Bengbu falls.

At the same time, a charity dinner was taking place in Lanling City.

Kelaiju was the most popular restaurant in Lanling City at this time. After all, not only does the chef have good cooking skills, but the more noble consumption discourages most consumers. Generally, only those with outstanding talents in Lanling City will enter and exit here.

Today's Kelaiju is a little different. Today, the outside of Kelaiju is full of guards with live ammunition. I saw that these guards are very well-equipped with light and heavy machine guns. At first glance, they all have majestic weapons.

Only these soldiers, besides Commander Zhang's soldiers in the city defense, can there be other troops with such excellent equipment and murderous state?

This dinner was a post jointly posted by Lanling County Mayor Chen Dazhi and Lanling City Defense Commander Zhang Tianhai. The ones invited these well-known figures in Lanling City.

In order to allow these well-known figures to see the strength of the Zhiyi Group, Zhang Tianhai not only selected thirty strong and well-behaved soldiers from the army as guards who stood guard, but also directly pulled out the first battalion's machine gun company and spy company, which was extremely high in specifications.

Sure enough, after seeing that the invited figure was receiving this standard, he was extremely respectful. How many of the wealthy businessmen could receive such treatment? Of course, except for those businessmen who used money to support the armed uprising.

Basically, the people present can speak in Lanling County, but whether they are political officials or business owners, they all have a characteristic, that is, they are rich!

Now the Japanese army is getting closer. Originally, the merchants and wealthy merchants in Lanling were planning to go back to the countryside to escape the war. After all, the goal in this city is the biggest. If the Japanese army wants to take Lanling, the first thing they have to fight is Lanling County.

It was not until Zhang Tianhai brought the troops of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone that the anxious mood in the city gradually stabilized - after all, Zhang Tianhai's troops of the First Regiment were strong, which was visible to the people in the city.

Not only do they have many soldiers, but they also have many weapons, but they are not as poor as those Northwest Army, their weapons are very simple.

After all, the industry in the city is the most valuable, and no businessman would want to give up the industry in the city.

What do you say?

If there is 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 100% profit, capital will dare to risk his head; if there is 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all laws in the world!

At this time, people will not give up their lives for this little money, but this also indirectly reflects the essence of capital. Until the last moment, they will not give up easily.

After all, no one’s money is blown by the wind, especially in troubled times, money cannot be lost.

Although a gun is the king, it is true that money can make ghosts beat ghosts.

That night, Chen Dazhi and others had arrived, but Zhang Tianhai had not arrived yet. This was agreed privately by the two of them - they must give these wealthy families in the city a sense of intimidation so that they can rest assured of this army.

"Hello County Magistrate Chen."

"Hello County Magistrate Chen."

After entering the restaurant, many wealthy families saw Chen Dazhi and quickly stepped forward to say hello. After all, that was the county magistrate, right?

"Everyone, just sit down and find a seat quickly. It's not easy to say that I'm old and don't even know how to greet me." Although Chen Dazhi seemed a little old, his behavior was still unabashed in his life.

"Hahaha……"

There was a lot of laughter around and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, a wealthy family who was familiar with Chen Dazhi stepped forward and asked, "Old Chen, I see that the invitation is written with the names of you and Commander Zhang of the City Defense. Why didn't you see this Commander Zhang? I heard that this Commander Zhang is very young, less than twenty-eight, and I don't know if it is true or not."

"You will know in a while. Commander Zhang has an emergency official handling, so it will be late." Chen Dazhi stroked his beard lightly, but his eyes were already confused into a curve of a smile.

No wonder these merchants were curious. That day, there were only a very small number of merchants who were directly under the First Regiment in the Third War Zone. After all, they were busy liquidating their belongings at that time.

In addition, since Zhang Tianhai entered the city, he stayed in a quiet place and rarely walked out of the gate of the city defense headquarters. It was normal for them not to know each other.

Just as everyone was curious about the young and mysterious Commander Zhang, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Commander Zhang from the City Defense Command is here!!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard another sound of "Salute!!"

...
