Chapter 42: The Last Stand

Everyone's faces were very serious in the front enemy command of the Third War Zone.

Because this is the third meeting today, the content of the meeting is how to rescue Yao Ziqing's troops from the Baoshan Mountain.

Not long ago, they received news that the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to attack Baoshan, and at the same time, they were also sent by an emergency telegram from the commander.

"Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

Faced with the inquiry from Commander-in-Chief Chen Cixiu, all the senior national and military leaders in the Third War Zone drooped their heads.

It’s not that they didn’t speak, but that Baoshan is now in a dead end.

When our side is already in decline, forcibly sending troops to reinforce is to fly into the flames.

The previous 67th Division is the best proof.

Chen Cixiu continued: "With the defeat of our army, Yao Ziqing's troops made repeated military achievements in Baoshan, which greatly encouraged the morale of the people across the country and the soldiers on the front line.

Now, under the publicity and momentum of various media, Yao Ziqing's troops have become the benchmark of our army and a heroic force that thousands of people admire.

Therefore, whether it is in view of the orders of the commissioners or the great cause of the war of resistance, Yao Ziqing and Yang Jing must be rescued."

When he said this, he was looking at Luo Youqing.

Because Yao Ziqing's troops are his 15th Army.

It is worth mentioning that although Luo Youqing is only the deputy commander of the 15th Army, because the commander-in-chief Chen Cixiu also serves as the commander-in-chief of the front-end enemy in the war zone, the 15th Army is actually commanded by all his powers.

Seeing the commander-in-chief looking at him, Luo Youqing thought for a while and said in embarrassment: "Captain Chen, our army has fought with the Japanese invaders for more than a month, and each unit has suffered heavy losses.

It’s not that I have sent troops to reinforce me before, you know that the 67th Division was air strikes by Japanese troops just halfway.

Not only was the way to Baoshan cut off by the Japanese army, the 67th Division also suffered extremely heavy losses.

So, now I want to send troops to reinforce Baoshan, I really have the will but lack the strength!”

Chen Cixiu said: "Brother You Qing, I know all these, but the Chairman has an order, how can we not obey it?"

Luo Youqing said: "The Japanese army suffered a great loss in Baoshan and would definitely destroy Yao Ziqing's troops at all costs. Now gathering heavy troops to siege Baoshan is the best proof.

It is too difficult to rescue Yao Ziqing's army now."

How could Chen Cixiu understand what he said? If the Japanese army had not suddenly launched a fierce attack on Baoshan, the Chairman of the Imperial Force just now would not have sent it.

Chen Cixiu continued to ask, "What should we do in the opinion of Brother You Qing?"

Luo Youqing thought for a while and said, "Captain Chen, Baoshan is now a bottomless quagmire, and no matter how many soldiers are sent to go there, they will not be able to fill it.

If we forcefully increase troops, it will disrupt our army's deployment and put the defenders on the entire battlefield into a passive position.

Therefore, I suggest that we can launch an attack from the Japanese army head-on, so that the Japanese army can feel the pressure, so as to divide the troops to defend and weaken the offensive against Baoshan.

In this way, the chances of Yao Ziqing's troops breaking through successfully will be much higher."

Chen Cixiu said: "However, Yao Ziqing and Yang Jing have just made great achievements in Baoshan and have become heroes of the nation and role models for the three armies.

If they fail to break through successfully, how can we explain to the Chairman?”

How could Luo Youqing not see that Chief Chen wanted him to be this evil man?

So he immediately changed his previous attitude and said to him with a serious expression: "Sir, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. What we need to take into account is the entire war zone and even the entire China war!

It is true that Yao Ziqing's troops have made great achievements, but compared with the entire Shanghai, the country of Nanjing, and the tens of millions of people in Jiangnan, you should know which one is more important.

On the battlefield of Songhu, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were fighting bloody battles with the enemy without fear of life and death. Why couldn’t Yao Ziqing’s troops be loyal to the country?”

After Chen Cixiu pondered for a moment, his deep eyes swept across the rest of the people one by one: "What do you mean?"

Everyone responded in unison: "Bi Jie and others think there is no better way than Deputy Commander Luo's proposal."

"Okay! I understand!" After a pause, Chen Cixiu ordered with a serious face: "Tell me the order, and the front-line troops will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army! To cooperate with Yao Ziqing's troops to break through from Baoshan!"

At the end, Chen Cixiu added: "Please pay attention to ensuring the safety of each department!"

"yes!"

Everyone took the order with a loud bang.

…………

Baoshan.

The fierce battle continues.

Because Yang Jing arrived in time, he used conscience-free cannons to destroy three Japanese tanks in succession and kill dozens of enemies. This greatly hit the Japanese army's arrogance and greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.

Yao Ziqing was able to defend the east gate smoothly.

However, after the attacks between the east and west gates suffered consecutive setbacks, the Japanese army immediately changed the focus of the attack and gathered heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on the north gate.

There were only seventy or eighty soldiers from the third company who guarded the north gate, and the important firepower was deployed in the east and west gates. Therefore, under the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, the defense line of the west gate was quickly broken.

Saito Eagle is a major captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment under the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, under the 5th Brigade.

Since the command of the 68th Infantry Regiment was raided by Yang Jing and there was no commander for the time being, the 6th Infantry Regiment replaced his attack on Baoshan County.

At this time, the North Gate had been broken, and the old Japanese devil, Saito Eagle, was full of energy and rushed into the city with confidence.

He wanted to give the defenders some strength, and also let the Imperial Army of the 68th Regiment see how his 6th Regiment fought.

"Kill the chicken and give it to (charge)! The warriors of the empire, it's time to serve His Majesty the Emperor, attack, attack!" Saito Hawk waved his sword in his hand and ordered sternly.

Suddenly, hundreds of Japanese soldiers immediately stopped rifles and rushed into the city wall with caves in the city gate.

On the Japanese Type 38 rifle, those sharp bayonets reflected a creepy cold light under the light of the city's flames.

"Brothers, open fire! Fight, fight against these little Japanese guys raised by the bitch!"

The third company commander who retreated from the city wall hid in a ruin and shot the Japanese who rushed towards the streets with a few "bang bang bang".

One of the Japanese commanders who took the lead in charge fell to the ground immediately.

The gunshots were the orders, and the next moment, all the remaining forty or fifty defenders opened fire.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In an instant, it bounced like rain, whistling and pouring out.

"Puff puff puff..."

The Japanese who were charging forward kept screaming and knocking to the ground.

"Baga! Fight back, fight back! Machine gun team, grenade team, firepower suppression!"

Saito Hawk held a saber in his left hand and held a turtle box again. While pulling the trigger, he kept scolding his subordinates for firing and fighting back.
