It was already daybreak, and the officers and soldiers of the Anhui Advance Brigade and the Independent Regiment who had gathered on the square dispersed one after another, preparing for the fierce battle that was about to come.
Xu Rui watched coldly, and keenly discovered that the mental state of both the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhong Advance Brigade and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment had become very different from before. The panic and fear on the faces of the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhong Advance Brigade disappeared, and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment
Their expressions became more determined, and it was obvious that they were all mentally prepared.
And this is what Xu Rui wants to see most. In the next battle of Feicheng, if the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhong Advance Brigade and the Independent Regiment are not mentally prepared, it will be difficult for them to persist until the last moment, because at this moment
The troops approaching the city are the Kumamoto Division, which is known as the most capable of the seventeen permanent divisions in Japan!
The Kumamoto Division and the Sendai Division can be described as the pride of little Japan!
When Wanzhong advanced to the brigade and added an independent regiment, it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of training, equipment, and military strength. If it was not possible to overwhelm the opponent mentally, then the outcome of this battle could be imagined, even in the final analysis.
Optimistic estimates suggest that it can only last for two to three days at most.
If you are not careful, Feicheng may fall within a day!
However, if the officers and soldiers of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade and the Independent Regiment can be mentally prepared, then there is still a chance for the Battle of Feicheng. It is certainly a wishful thinking to defeat the Kumamoto Division, but with brutal street fighting, we can persist for ten years in Feicheng.
But it is entirely possible in half a month, the veteran will not die, and the spirit will be immortal!
In another time and space, the Chinese People's Volunteers, armed with ideas and equipped with millet and rifles, defeated the Fifteen-Nation Allied Forces headed by the US military, which were armed to the teeth. This fully proved that spiritual power is decisive and its role is
Even more than weaponry and training!
Therefore, Xu Rui must spiritually inspire the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhong Advance Brigade and the Independent Regiment.
However, although Chairman Chiang's radio speech just now inspired the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhong Advance Brigade and the Independent Regiment to a certain extent, Xu Rui still felt that it was not enough. He had to find a way to further stimulate the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers.
It would be best to allow them to have spiritual interactions with the 400 million compatriots behind them.
Looking at the broadcast speaker mounted on the telephone pole, Xu Rui suddenly had a brilliant idea.
At that moment, Xu Rui found Sai Hongfu and asked: "Xiaobai, let me ask you a question. Since we can receive Wuhan's broadcast signals here, can Wuhan receive the broadcast signals from us?"
"Of course it's possible." Sai Hongfu said, "But we don't have broadcasting equipment."
"I remember that in the list of materials seized from the Japanese headquarters, there was a damaged broadcasting equipment. It seemed that it was given to the fourth detachment at that time, but the fourth detachment didn't seem to take it away. Let's take a look." After that, Xu Rui took it.
Following the thunder, he went straight to the warehouse of the former Feicheng garrison brigade headquarters, and then actually found the damaged radio from the warehouse.
Sai Hongfu also brought a female soldier who was responsible for technical maintenance. This female soldier was named Chunli. She was one of the four key female soldiers that Sai Hongfu brought from the Qingbai Regiment, and she was specifically responsible for technology. After inspection,
Chunli said: "There is no problem with the equipment, but the transmission signal strength is too weak and Wuhan may not be able to receive it."
Xu Rui immediately asked: "Can you increase the output power?"
"Yes, yes." Chunli nodded and said awkwardly, "But modification takes time and requires parts. I don't know if there are enough spare parts here."
Xu Rui said flatly: "Just tell me what parts you need, and I will find a way to get them for you. You just have to modify them, but there is one thing that must be modified in the shortest possible time. It is best if it can be modified before noon today."
good!"
Chunli nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
Just as Chunli finished speaking, a harsh air raid siren suddenly sounded outside.
"The Japs' attack planes are coming." Xu Rui's eyes turned cold and he turned around and shouted, "Leizi, give me the order to move all personnel in the headquarters into the tunnel."
After saying that, Xu Rui was the first to rush towards the air defense tunnel.
Faced with the heavy bombing by the Japanese bombers, Xu Rui would not show off his strength. Even though his body was far better than that of ordinary people, he was still just a body of flesh and blood. If he was hit by a heavy aerial bomb at close range, he would not be able to show his strength.
He will still be blown into pieces of flesh all over the place, so it is better to hide in the tunnel honestly.
The old devil Hata Shunroku also got angry. The Aviation Corps directly under the Central China Front dispatched four aviation groups, with as many as ninety-six Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft divided into sixteen echelons. They took off from Nanjing Ziyuan Airport and passed through half a dozen echelons.
After a flight of two hours, they flew over Feicheng one after another, and then began to dive and drop bombs.
After dropping the aerial bombs, repeated dive and strafing followed.
The Japanese attack aircraft group's indiscriminate bombing of Feicheng lasted for more than four hours, from 7:08 in the morning to about 11:30 noon. By the time the last group of Japanese attack aircraft turned around and returned, the entire Feicheng had already
It was completely shrouded in smoke and fire. Looking across the city, it was almost impossible to find a single intact house.
Immediately afterwards, the forward Kagoshima Regiment of the Kumamoto Division dispatched an infantry squadron and took the lead in launching an attack from the east gate. The 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment directly abandoned the dilapidated city wall fortifications and instead relied on the ruins of buildings in the city to carry out decisive operations.
The brutal street battle that is destined to be recorded in the annals of Chinese history has officially begun!
"Hit me, beat me, beat me hard, and kill these bastard little devils!"
Gao Chuping raised a twenty-gun box cannon and aimed it at the street entrance in front of him with a long burst of fire. The scorching hot bullets splashed over in a fan shape in an instant. Unfortunately, the Japs rushing in from the opposite side were also veterans. Not only were the skirmishers separated by huge distances,
Moreover, his tactical movements were extremely skillful. Gao Chu emptied a magazine, but he didn't even knock down a single enemy!
"Damn it, these little devils have turned into spirits!" Gao Chu cursed as he removed the magazine and replaced it with another.
At this moment, a veteran nearby shouted to the company commander to be careful, then swooped up and knocked Gao Chu away. Almost at the same time that Gao Chu was knocked away, a grenade had already landed on Gao Chu just now.
There was a loud bang where he was standing, and Gao Chu was immediately blown away several meters away by the air wave generated by the explosion.
"Fourth?" Gao Chu climbed up from the rubble with a disgraceful face, and turned back to the original place to help the veteran, only to find that the whole face of the Fourth had been turned into black charcoal by gunpowder smoke, and his upper body was wearing a khaki military uniform.
They were all burned into strips of cloth, and the fourth man's face and chest were full of hideous wounds that opened outwards.
From these wounds, dirty black blood was gurgling out.
As soon as he saw this situation, Gao Chu knew that the fourth child was hopeless.
The fourth man's lips murmured twice, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Gao Chu put his ear close to the fourth man's mouth, but still couldn't hear clearly. Another veteran next to him had sharp eyes and saw the fourth man's fingers.
Xiangxin said, and immediately took out a military ID card from the pocket of his nearly broken jacket.
Gao Chu opened the officer's ID card and found a photo inside.
In the photo, there is a tiger-headed child smiling sweetly at the camera.
"Is this your son?" Gao Chu burst into tears and screamed miserably, "From now on, he is my son. If you are gone, fourth child, I will take care of him!"
A faint smile appeared on Lao Si's face, then he tilted his head and took his last breath.
Gao Chu solemnly put the photo into his shirt pocket, and when he looked back at the street ahead, his eyes had turned red. Looking from a distance, it was like two groups of fire were burning. It looked weird and even more transparent.
Looking extremely ferocious, at the crossroads ahead, dozens of little Japs were using skillful tactical movements to alternately cover and rush forward quickly.
The next moment, Gao Chu held his neck and roared hoarsely: "1st Battalion and 2nd Company, all bayonets are fixed..."
The remaining fifty or so soldiers of the 2nd Company took out their bayonets one after another, stuck them into the slots, and stood up from the ruins one by one.
Seeing the more than fifty remnants of the 2nd Company standing up from the ruins with bayonets in hand, the more than fifty Japanese who rushed in from the opposite side immediately became excited. These Japanese from Kagoshima were really different from other Japanese.
The other Japs were silent as they charged, but these Japs kept barking like wild beasts while charging.
More than fifty Japanese soldiers took out the bullets from their guns and rushed towards him, howling and screaming.
Gao Chu spat at the swarming Japs, and then raised the ghost-headed sword in his hand. The next moment, the fifty or so remnant soldiers behind him surged down like a flood that had burst a dike, but Gao Chu
He took his time, holding the sword flat with both hands, and walked forward unhurriedly. In just a moment, the two waves of people had already collided head-on.
The Japanese soldiers of the Kagoshima Regiment are indeed powerful. They fought hand-to-hand with the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, but they did not fall behind!
He Guangming's 1st Battalion is the elite of the Northwest Army. All of them are veterans who have crawled out of the dead. Many of the key veterans even participated in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. However, such a unit is in a difficult situation in the alliance with Kagoshima.
In the hand-to-hand combat between the two teams, they were unable to gain any advantage and were even at a disadvantage.
Gao Chu stared with scarlet eyes and stepped into the battlefield.
After a Japanese superior soldier saw Gao Chu's collar badge, he immediately screamed excitedly, and then stabbed Gao Chu with a bayonet. However, Gao Chu just turned sideways and avoided the fierce blow from the Japanese superior soldier.
Stabbing, and then swiping the ghost-headed sword in his hand, the Japanese soldier hit Bai Sensen's blade with his neck. The next moment, the Japanese soldier's neck split open like a goldfish's mouth, and there was a stream of jets.
The blood arrows shot out with a roar.
Gao Chu kicked down the Japanese superior soldier, turned his ghost-headed sword and strode forward. In front of Gao Chu, a Japanese second lieutenant had already taken a stance and raised the saber in his hand.
