Age of Rebirth

Chapter 540 Seven Falling Stars

The sword fluttered, blood splashed everywhere, and the snow-like light of the sword made the Japanese army terrified, and the desperate momentum destroyed the nerves of the Japanese soldiers. They will never forget the murderous spirit of the 29th Army Broadsword Team in the suburbs of Beiping. Hard work, terror strikes my heart, and I retreat steadily.

General Zhang led the guard group, like a long embankment, immediately curbed the momentum of the Japanese army's charge, pure hand-to-hand combat, and the broadswords equipped by the troops played a great role. , a burst of blood and flesh flew, and there were pieces of bloody corpses under the feet. The Japanese army was killed and went back, and the breakthrough was blocked.

General Zhang Zizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the place. He breathed a sigh of relief, and if he persisted for another five hours, the task could be completed. He ordered the soldiers to rush to repair the fortifications immediately and prepare to meet the little devils next attack.

It was so dangerous just now, he was very angry with the commander of this position. The positions in other places were also attacked by the Japanese army. Why didn’t they lose it? The head of the regiment was sad for a while, and he told the general that just now, the battalion commander defending this position, under the condition of being seriously injured, fought to the death and refused to retreat. Finally, he rang the grenade on his body and died together with the Japanese devils. [

There are more than 500 people in this battalion. Now, there are only less than 100 people left, and only one deputy company commander is in command. The other officers have all been killed. After Zhang Zizhong heard this, he was silent for a long time, waved his hands, and asked the remaining soldiers to gather , more than a hundred soldiers in ragged clothes and covered in gunpowder smoke stood neatly in front of the general.

Among them, there are many bandages on their bodies, their faces are blackened by the gunpowder smoke, and they only have bright eyes that shoot unyielding light. Zhang Zizhong faces these fearful soldiers with full respect. A military salute is a general's gift to ordinary soldiers With the highest respect, he choked up and didn't say anything. However, thousands of words were gathered in this military salute.

The soldiers of the 29th Army finally showed their prestige, and the resentment accumulated for many years was finally vented in Shangqiu. With such soldiers, Zhang Zizhong was full of pride.

He personally inspected every position, and the tall figure appeared from time to time beside the soldiers who were busy building fortifications. After watching all the fortifications, he felt a little tired. In the tragic hand-to-hand battle just now, Zhang Zizhong killed five or six soldiers with his own hands. Little devil, he feels that he has never felt more comfortable. Being able to kill the enemy is the greatest wish of a soldier.

After a short rest, he used the binoculars to observe the Japanese army's position on the opposite side. The sun was reluctant to recede the last twilight. The day was so long. Unconsciously, he raised his body a little. Suddenly, a burst of heavy machine guns shot over, and the general's tall body shook a few times before he fell to the ground.

The head of the guard following behind the general shouted heart-piercingly: "Commander!" He hugged Zhang Zizhong's body, three rounds of heavy machine guns shot through his chest, and blood gushed out uncontrollably. Frantically plugging the wound, the other guards rushed to call for the military doctor.

When the military doctor arrived, General Zhang Zizhong was already on his deathbed. After hearing the news, Feng Zhian, the deputy commander of the corps, tightly held his gradually cooling hand, and couldn't help the tears rolling down his eyes. Friends, General Zhang Zizhong's dim eyes suddenly lit up, his lips quivered a few times, but he didn't make any sound.

However, Feng Zhi'an understood the general's meaning. With tears in his eyes, he said loudly to the general: "Xian Chen, don't worry, I will definitely take the old 29th Army under his wing and complete the task assigned by the teacher!" Nodding, Feng Zhian, who was holding his hand, felt his hand loosen, and the general's arm slipped quietly.

The military doctor rushed forward to feel his pulse. After a long time, he shook his head miserably at the deputy commander. The head of the guard fell to his knees in front of the general, crying loudly. He couldn't forget that he was just a wandering orphan. Taken in by the general, he has long been a lonely ghost. For so many years, he has always been by the general's side, and he has long regarded him as his father.

With tears streaming down his face, he muttered to himself, what kind of guard chief am I?You can't even protect the general, blame me!Why didn't you protect him personally?As he said that, he suddenly pulled out his gun and pressed it against his temple. Feng Zhi'an, who was on the side, was horrified, and suddenly took the gun from his hand, and sternly reprimanded him, "What are you doing? Don't tell me you made the general unable to close his eyes?" ?”

The head of the guard raised his head and looked at Feng Zhi'an sadly, "Deputy Commander, as the commander's head of the guard, if I failed to protect the general, I could not escape the guilt, how could I have the face to face the tens of thousands of brothers in the entire corps?" , the only way to have peace of mind is to die, so please fulfill me!"

Feng Zhi'an closed his eyes tightly, facing the sky, and muttered to himself: "Xianchen, why did you just go like this, I love you so much that you are a brother, and from now on, who will you talk to at night by candlelight, competing for blushing, and drinking and talking happily?" ? No more! The Japanese invaders were not expelled from the country, and you died before you left the school! God is jealous of talents!"

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said loudly to the head of the guard: "You are wrong, it was not you who killed the commander, but the damned Japanese devil. If you are a man, go and kill a hundred or a thousand!" Japanese devils, avenging the commander, killing yourself like this, you are worthy of that? Commander Jiuquan will never tolerate you!"

The head of the guard stood up suddenly, wiped away the tears on his face, grabbed a light machine gun, turned around and went to the battlefield. Later, the old 29th Army came out with a vicious head against the Japanese soldiers and his head, so that he did it later. The brigade commander was merciless in killing the Japanese soldiers. Since then, the Japanese army has been weak and surrounded by the established system many times, and they dare not surrender to the brigade. They simply committed suicide and ended up happy.

Feng Zhi'an took over the command of the troops, and immediately reported the progress of the battle in Shangqiu and the news of General Zhang Zizhong's death to his teacher.

The bad news of General Zhang Zizhong's death in battle quickly spread throughout the entire army. The troops of the old 29th Army were different from other troops of the Independent Division. They would have the courage of the soldiers, and the death of the supreme commander would inevitably be a blow to the morale and morale of the troops. At this time, the Japanese army also launched a new round of offensive.

First bombarded the defenders' positions with fierce artillery fire, and then launched uninterrupted attacks wave after wave with the force of the regiment, with Isotani Rensuke's death order, and knowing the situation they were facing, The Japanese soldiers were like drinking ecstasy, regardless of casualties, and rushed desperately.

Immediately, the position of the Sulu Garrison Corps was compressed and retreated steadily. Some troops even gave up the street fighting fortifications with absolutely favorable terrain without firing a few shots, and retreated in depth. Report the news that the position is in danger and is about to fall, and ask for reinforcements.

Feng Zhi'an secretly groaned, what kind of troops did he have in his hand? Even the guard regiment of the Corps Headquarters was sent to the front to block the openings. Under the situation of fighting the Japanese army, it was impossible to even retreat. It was purely for the little devils. Being a living target, he turned around in a hurry. [

At this moment, an operator shouted in surprise: "Deputy Commander, the plane, our plane, call the Supreme Commander!"He took the walkie-talkie dubiously, and a man with an obvious southern accent said loudly, "Is this the commander of the Sulu Garrison Corps? I am Le Yiqin, the principal and chief instructor of the Dingbian Aviation School of the Independent Division. Order, bomb the Japanese positions, please indicate the target!"

Feng Zhi'an couldn't believe his ears, God, the teacher really has a lot of money, when did the plane come out?He hurried out of the command post, the sky, reflecting the brilliant sunset, more than 30 planes were flying towards Shangqiu, he believed it, the division commander really sent the plane!

The ground-air connection was quickly established. According to Le Yiqin's request, all the troops of the Sulu Garrison Regiment retreated one kilometer from the existing defensive position to avoid accidental injury. Feng Zhi'an immediately ordered the division commander to send a plane to reinforce the news , conveyed to every fighter.

In fact, these fighters had seen the plane a long time ago, and they were even more panicked. They knew that only Japanese planes were showing power over North China, and they could hardly resist the ground attack. When I got down, I couldn't even find the bones. That thing is amazing!

When they heard the order, saying that it was their own plane, which was here to blow up the Japanese devils, the soldiers all stared wide-eyed, with disbelief on their faces, followed the order half-believingly, and retreated one kilometer, fighting like a mad tiger. The Japanese soldiers suddenly felt the deadly rain coming from the opposite side, and it stopped strangely!

The Chinese army has fled!Scared away by our big Japanese eagle!The Japanese army screamed wildly. Under the command of the commander, the Japanese soldiers rushed over screaming. Just like the soldiers of the Sulu Garrison Corps thought, only the birds of our Great Japanese Empire can fly in the sky of Northern China. !

Isotani Rensuke and the senior generals in the command headquarters were completely confused. Didn't they receive the notice from the dispatched army headquarters to send an air force to help the battle?Suddenly, Isotani Rensuke's expression changed drastically. As a senior general of the Japanese army in North China, he certainly knew that the air force of the Imperial Japanese Army in North China had been wiped out by Tang Qiuli.

It wasn't his own, it could only belong to Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, and he shouted at the chief of staff anxiously: "Baga! It's an enemy plane, quickly order the troops to covert air defense! Organize air-to-air shooting!" The chief of staff also After waking up, he picked up the phone: "Moxi Moxi!" Before he finished speaking, there was a violent explosion, which shook the soil on the roof of the headquarters and fell down suddenly. Gu Lianjie and the senior generals of the Japanese army were disfigured by the flying dust, and they looked like donkeys that had rolled on the ground a few times.

Isotani Rensuke didn't care to wipe off the dust on his face, and hurriedly pointed the binoculars at his troops. What happened made him shudder, and until the moment of his life ended, he brought deep fear to hell.
