Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 863 Chapter 863
The next day!

8 o'clock in the morning!
"The first war zone was in front of the Yellow River defense line, and beat the Japanese invaders hard, killing more than 3000 enemies!"

The hoarse shouts of newsboys resounded through the streets and alleys of Jiangxia, a city in central China where the government is temporarily seated.

People flocked to grab the morning newspapers in the satchels hung diagonally by the newsboys.

The battle of Songhu failed, and the defense of Jinling was even more defeated. North China was almost completely lost. China retreated steadily on the two fronts. Attacking several provinces in central China from the north and southeast, no matter how much the government propaganda department cheers, the reality is that the situation of the entire war is rapidly deteriorating.

This is no longer a severe loss of hundreds of thousands of troops due to the failure of two battles, but that the entire country is in a precarious situation, whether it is the already poor refugees, the middle class with little assets, or those at the top of the pyramid. Elites are in a state of extreme anxiety.

Because they don't know, hope is there.

The massacre in Jinling shattered the luck of countless people, so how can we get rid of the skin?If the Japanese occupy the whole of China, even if you want to be slaves on your knees, the Japanese must be willing, otherwise, no matter whether you are an elite or an ordinary citizen, you will only have a dead end.

No matter how clear the sky is, the thick haze will always linger in people's hearts, but on the early morning of February 2, the sun seemed to really shine down.

The first war zone, which had lost repeatedly, actually fought a big victory, killing more than 3000 Japanese troops. This is an extremely rare number of annihilated enemies since the Jinling Defense War. Said, but a drop in the bucket!

However, who can deny that this is a rare victory?The government will not deny it, and the people will not.

"The new eighth division under the command of the first war zone merged with the independent regiment under the 43rd army, invested more than 14 people, and ambushed the 2nd infantry regiment under the enemy's 3000th division on the south bank of the Bihe River, and killed them under the captain of the Osso regiment Ishiguro Masakura More than [-] people were seized!
OK!OK!Our Guizhou Army and Sichuan Army are brave! A middle-aged man in a long robe and glasses stood on the street, chanting loudly, while patting the electric poles beside him, admiring loudly.

"Then, sir, have we won the front line in Yu Province?" A rickshaw driver who stopped by and stopped cautiously asked.

"That's right! Sir, after slaughtering so many devils, do we want to win!" A [-]-year-old boy also asked in agreement.

"Victory." The middle-aged man looked at the eager people around him, and his throat suddenly choked.

He really wanted to say to these compatriots at the bottom: Yes, we are going to win!
But as a teacher of Jiangxia University, although he doesn't know much about war, but with his experience, he also knows that the annihilation of 3000 Japanese invaders can only be regarded as a battlefield-level victory. To win this war, it takes The Japanese invaders to be wiped out are not 300,000 or 3, but [-] or even [-] million!

But at such a time, can he say to these compatriots who are eager for news of victory: Isn't this kind of victory not enough?What a blow it was to them who were eager to win!

"Victory, of course it is a victory! This time the 14th Division invaded from the north, and it was extremely arrogant. It threatened to break through Henan Province and reach northern Hubei in two months. The natural moat of the Yellow River, let alone two months, even two years, they don't want to break my province of Yu.

The biggest advantage of victory in this battle is that the battle of Xuzhou is imminent, but it is a good start for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers I have gathered in the theater. I believe that this battle will definitely be very different from the previous ones! "The middle-aged man raised his arms, impassioned!
"Okay!" The people surrounding the middle-aged man cheered with all their arms.

The long-lost smile appeared on everyone's face!Even people in ragged clothes who were still shivering in this winter morning felt that the cold wind seemed not so harsh at this time.

"Fuck you, if the little devil dares to come to Laozi Jiang Xia, the kidnappers will come and fuck them together!" The rickshaw driver also grinned. "Come on, sir, where are you going? I'll deliver it for free! Just give me the newspaper!"

"That's no good. I'll pay for the car, but I can't give you the newspaper. I have to rush back to school to tell the students the good news!" answer.

"Then sir, please tell me carefully in the car that those troops won the big victory, so that I can talk to my wife and children when I go back, otherwise I won't be able to deal with my little bastard who likes to ask questions. "The coachman didn't insist on it, and instead retreated to the next best thing.

"That's easy, let me tell you, reporter Tantai Mingyue knows it! It's the big reporter who followed the 67th Army to fight Songjiang. This time she followed the Four Elements Regiment, which is the independent regiment directly under the 43rd Army. The regiment leader is Tang. Commander Dao Tang, the one who has fought in the four elements and fought in Songjiang." The middle-aged man was immediately happy when he heard this, and sat in the car and chatted carefully with the driver.

The coachman listened with great interest, cheers came from time to time on the road, and smiles on people's faces increased.

That's what the news of victory does!It gave the panic-stricken Chinese people a shot in the arm, as if they felt that they were doing well again, even if it was not a big victory.

But the words of comfort that this middle-aged man 'coaxed' the ordinary people really came true. With the 'sacrifice' of the 2nd Infantry Regiment as a prize, the final result of the Xuzhou Battle is completely acceptable to the Chinese side.

The speed at which the Japanese North China Front Army lost its infantry regiment exceeded the imagination of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters. The two infantry brigades and four infantry regiments participating in the Taierzhuang battlefield lost two pairs.

This time it was not ambushed, but in fact, it was the elites of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army who were in charge of dealing with them this time. The three generals stared at each other, and one of the three generals had proved in time and space that even a division commander had the courage to devote himself to the frontline battlefield, while the other two were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Three generals who did not hesitate to die brought one hundred thousand soldiers who also did not hesitate to sacrifice. Even if they were lacking in firepower and equipment, it was not something less than [-] Japanese troops could match.

The Japanese once again stumbled in the face of fearlessness!Their firepower is not enough to completely defeat the current Chinese soldiers.

In fact, even the beautiful country, whose firepower is nearly ten times stronger than theirs, stumbled in front of a group of more determined Chinese soldiers.

It is not equipment that determines the direction of war, but people themselves!That great man's argument is confirmed by the battlefield again and again in this way!

Most Chinese people are celebrating the victory, but there are also many unhappy people, including Chinese and Japanese!
At the moment when people in various big cities in China fell into joy because of the news of victory, more than 20 Japanese planes attacked the defense line of the Yellow River Railway Bridge 30 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City.
Hiding in the underground bunker that took five hours to build, Mr. Jiang, holding a telescope and watching the Japanese plane several kilometers away dropping a heavy bomb like a hen laying eggs, puffed up his cheeks.

He thought that the North China Front Army might become angry and bombard it on a large scale, but he really didn't expect that the idiot of the indoor shroud was so small, and an infantry regiment was gone, so he would do his best to retaliate like this. The bombers are here!
Fortunately, because of the lessons learned from the previous two times, the Japanese pilots were as cautious as Lieutenant Sasaki, not to mention 1000 meters, not even 500 meters, and started dropping bombs at an altitude of 1800 meters.

This caused its accuracy to be far off. Many bombs that were supposed to be dropped on the 300-meter position on the south bank of the Yellow River even exploded on the north bank. Not even a few Yellow River carp were killed!
Of course, the Sixing Regiment's position three kilometers in front of the Yellow River Iron Bridge was also heavily bombed. In fact, the "wooden men" in worn-out military uniforms left by Tang Dao did not play their due role at all. The Japanese bombers did not send out reconnaissance planes for low-altitude reconnaissance. It means that at least half of the fighters dropped more than two dozen aerial bombs weighing 200 pounds over the position.

Blossoms of bullets rose up on the already empty position, and their power was so great that even Bai Sheng and others who were hiding on the iron bridge several kilometers away could feel the scorching heat of the air waves.

"Company commander, the little devil wouldn't drop bombs on the bridge!" A younger soldier saw this posture, and his face turned pale with fright.

The New Eighth Division has not been on the battlefield against Japan yet, and the engineering company is a bit stronger than their infantry brothers. Yesterday, they followed the Four Elements Regiment and fought against the Japanese, but yesterday the Japanese army dispatched fighter jets. Most of them are bombs weighing tens of pounds. Even if there are heavy aerial bombs, they are far away from the main position, and they can't feel them hiding in the trenches.

But now, the Japanese army dispatched all bombers, bombing the position in front of the bridge first, and then bombing the New Eighth Division's coastal defense positions, basically right under their noses.

What frightened the young soldiers even more was that the bridge was filled with more than [-] kilograms of explosives. Once a bomb fell on the bridge, they would be blown to pieces along with the bridge.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the little egg. The Japanese are counting on this bridge to transport tanks and cannons to attack Zhengzhou. If that little devil comes to blow up the bridge, maybe the commander of the theater will award him a medal. I'm afraid he will die. Take it, you're dead!" Before Bai Sheng could speak, a veteran soldier glanced at him and said disdainfully.

"Old Chu said, don't be afraid, Aga, our engineer company was replaced by 8 cannons and dozens of machine guns by the commander of the regiment. How could he be willing to be killed by the Japanese before we did anything? Don't say it We are still hiding, and if we jump out and dance on the bridge right now, the Japanese can only stare blankly!" Bai Sheng smiled slightly, comforting the soldiers under his command.

"Company commander, you said Commander Tang, no, what did the regiment think, to exchange so many good things for our engineering company, we are not good at fighting, and I haven't fired a single shot until now." After the little soldier's mind stabilized a little, he couldn't help being a little curious.

The engineering company has been established for two years, but it does the rough work of digging trenches and building underground bunkers every day. Usually, other companies carry guns on their backs, and they carry shovels and picks. They are so dirty that even they hate it.

Veterans are like this, let alone new recruits. Ah Yan has been in the army for more than half a year, and he hasn't even touched a gun. That is, he went to the battlefield with Yang Xiaoshan yesterday and carried a gun on his back. Unfortunately, they were originally trying to lure the enemy. On the battlefield, the veteran who had scolded Aga just held down Aga. During the whole battle, Aga didn't even raise his head except for hearing the bullets whizzing past his head, so there was no chance of him shooting.

After the war, when the results of the battle were counted, it seemed that the two engineering platoons that went to the battlefield did not kill a single Japanese.

For such a company, it is not worthwhile to exchange 8 cannons and dozens of light and heavy machine guns. Even the soldiers themselves feel that it is not worth it. In the words of the Japanese, it is not worth it.

"Don't say Aga, you can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out either. However, after this battle, I believe you all know how powerful the group leader is. He has his reasons for trading so many good things for us. The head of the regiment has treated us with the utmost benevolence, and I have to let you know that for the few brothers who died in battle, the head of the regiment specially granted [-] oceans to each of them as a pension, but they did not die in vain!" Bai Sheng glanced at The faces of the officers and soldiers around him turned serious.

"This man is very simple, how do people treat me, how do I treat him, we are here today, not to mention that the Japanese can't drop bombs, even if they can, I will never say anything if the regiment chief tells me to go to the bridge Do you understand this truth?"

"Company commander, I understand! This is what you often say that soldiers die for their confidants, right?" Xiao Bing nodded fiercely. "We don't know how to fight, but we can dig trenches. Yesterday, Lao Chu and I dug a trench of more than [-] meters. A small officer even patted me on the shoulder to say thank you!"

"You kid is talking about Company Commander Qian!" The veteran's eyes showed envy. "How can you say that Company Commander Qian is so capable? You are only two or three years older than Aga, and you are already a company commander!"

"I heard that the Four Elements Regiment puts a lot of emphasis on military merit, and those who have military merit will be promoted. I heard that Company Commander Qian was only a first-class soldier a few months ago!" Some soldiers followed suit.

"Yeah! Otherwise, I told you to work hard in the future, not to mention that Company Commander Qian was promoted from a private to a lieutenant company commander in a few months. From a second lieutenant platoon leader to a lieutenant colonel battalion commander, after the battle against Songjiang, he will become a colonel!" Speaking of this, Bai Sheng sighed.

"However, we are not envious of this, so we took yesterday's battle to fight, you say, can it be fought like that if it is replaced by Jiang Shizuo?"

The soldiers of the engineering company were silent for a while!
The answer is almost a no-brainer.

The New Eighth Division may not be regarded as a division, but apart from having more people, what else can it compare with the Four Elements?There are two artillery companies, ranging from 150 caliber mortars to 75 mountain guns to 20mm machine guns, with a total of more than 40 guns. The devils who are usually proud and arrogant can only die obediently under such terrible firepower.

In addition to firepower, Tang Dao dared to ambush the infantry with no more than a thousand soldiers at a position of no more than 40 meters on both sides of the road to ambush the Japanese army whose strength was even greater than his own. Who can compare with such courage and courage?
"Look, the Japanese plane is leaving!" Xiao Bing excitedly pointed at the Japanese aircraft fleet hovering high above the sky and preparing to fly away.

"Brothers, it's been daylight for a long time, hurry up, get your seats, it's time for me to work!" Bai Sheng's face was serious. "Remember, from the bridge head to the end of the bridge, the blasting is carried out in sections. If the blasting is not complete there, then I will blow it up again! I have promised the group that even if I leave a bridge pier for the devil, I will win this one in vain. Heads are hanging on that pier."

"boom!"

Above the Yellow River, gunpowder smoke soared into the sky.

The sound was loud and the smoke was thick, far surpassing the heavy bombs that the Japanese army had just dropped on both sides of the Yellow River.

High in the sky, Sasaki's eyeballs were rounded!

Yes, Lieutenant Sasaki is at it again!
Although his colleagues dislike him, as an "excellent pilot" who can escape from death every time, Sasaki is still called by Commander Dazuo to fight.

Perhaps, that person really hoped that he would never come back again, so as not to feel blocked when he saw him.

It's a pity that the Japanese commander may be disappointed again.

As the only escort fleet of the three bomber squadrons, the eight Jiuliu fighter jets flew at an altitude of 2500 meters. Because no bullet was fired from the ground, they had no chance to fly down to the sky.

Lieutenant Sasaki and his colleagues were basically in charge of looking out at high altitude. There was no threat in the air, and there was no resistance on the ground. They could only count the bullets on the ground to pass the boring time.

This time, the unlucky Sasaki finally did not hurt anyone. At the moment when the bomber group circled and flew north, the pilots of the remaining seven Japanese fighter jets breathed a sigh of relief.

However, their breath was really early.

The big iron bridge, which they hadn't done anything with, even began to "actively" self-destruct.

Intense gunpowder smoke soared into the sky, and the gunpowder smoke that had not yet cleared on both sides of the strait was 'in contrast'!
"Baga!" The Japanese fighter pilots roared collectively.

Why did the Chinese blast the iron bridge at this time? Needless to say the reason?Naturally, it is necessary to use their large-scale bombing to plant the blame on them, so there is no need to be ashamed to explain it to the people.

Then, under the watchful eyes of a group of 'smart eggs', the huge monster stretching across the Yellow River that could be clearly seen from high altitude began to gradually collapse.

A certain special attribute of Sasaki is still here waiting for them after all!
Yanjing!

"idiot!"

Indoor Shroud looked at the Chinese newspaper from Jiangxia on the table, "The Japanese invaders brazenly blow up important civilian facilities such as the Yellow River Iron Bridge, our military and civilians across the country will definitely fight the Japanese invaders to the end!", blushing and let out a roar.

The sense of shame of pure injustice has been lingering in the heart of this Japanese general for a long time.

This is indeed the case. The huge force of 30 bombers and 8 fighters that can be gathered in North China, in addition to causing more than a hundred deaths and injuries to the new eighth division that dug deep again and "lay flat and pretended to die", also carried on its back. The "notoriety" of blowing up the Yellow River Iron Bridge has no other achievements.

When the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters heard about this, they could only say to the North China Front Army's "evil deeds" that these guys had their heads kicked by donkeys?It was the indoor shroud that gambled his personal reputation to convince the bigwigs that he was framed by the Chinese.

However, the fact that nearly 40 fighters were dispatched and the Chinese took the opportunity to put it together has still become a big joke among the senior Japanese army. The indoor shroud's dream of being promoted to a marshal by virtue of his military exploits in North China is completely shattered. This joke alone is enough Let him hold his head up at the debriefing meeting.

Not to mention Tu Feiyuan, who has long been written down in the notebook by the indoor shroud with a strong sense of shame. If he can pull his hind legs, he will never pull his tail!

But the instigator of all this has already used the 5-hour rapid march to run 25 kilometers away, took a rest, and turned on the run mode again.

The Japanese are not stupid. When they come to their senses and send bombers to trouble the Four Elements Group, those big guys can't afford to go around.

Except for the first part of the remaining cavalry company to meet the engineering platoon on the bank of the Yellow River, the large troops of the Four Elements Regiment marched all the way in a hurry, running a full 50 kilometers in one day.

At that speed, even Tang Dao, who only made a short general mobilization of the whole regiment's urgent march in the early morning, was stunned.

I don't know when, the Four Elements Regiment has become a temperament that you can risk your life in a war, and retreat more than anyone else.

This looks great!
