Chapter 109: Introducing Your Lord into the Barrel (2)

Hirose Shusuke looked at the attack direction helplessly. It was more appropriate to say that it was helpless than despair. He did not expect that the Chinese army guarding the city would be so difficult to deal with? At this moment, a trace of fish white appeared in the sky, and the hard battle for more than three hours had no results. Judging from the more than 500 wounded soldiers who carried the position down, at least 500 imperial soldiers were broken in front of the enemy's position.

At 8:40 am on March 10, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, under the personal supervision of the battle of his division commander, Masato Hiemon, fought for five hours. After more than 2,000 casualties, finally broke through the last line of defense of the Chinese defenders from the right wing. About 200 remnants of the Chinese defenders were defeated and fled.

The commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Masashi Masashi Eemon, ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and insisted on going to the front line to watch the battle. It can be said that such rapid progress made Masashi Masashi Eemon himself a little surprised. Masashi Masashi Masashi Masashi was very clear that if it was the previous battle, the 6th Division had more than 2,000 casualties to break through the three enemy lines of defense, I am afraid that the division commander would not be able to escape the condemnation of the command.

However, Chengde's situation is special. In contrast, the Eighth Division is still fighting hard against the impregnable Seng Guanfeng, while the Tenth Division and the Fourteenth Division have made no progress. Only its 6th Division breaks through the enemy's defense line, everything is compared.

Standing in the front-line command post, Masaemon Omoto looked at the fleeing Chinese soldiers in the artillery mirror and was excited. He directly attacked the old streets in Chengde city, went straight to the core area to destroy the Chinese army's command center, captured or shot Zhang Xuewu. It seemed that everything was so simple. Compared with the other three waste divisions, the Sixth Division would definitely make the first great achievements!

Like Masaemon Omoto, Zhang Xuewu also personally arrived at the frontier of the old street to arrange command. The soldiers from a battalion of Zhao Xinyu, the newly formed 3rd Regiment, poured soybeans on the bluestone road and ice on the street. The beans rolled all over the ground, smashing the Chinese soldiers who poured the beans into the sky.

Zhao Xinyu looked at the master who always had strange tricks in shock. Zhao Xinyu now had more than simply admire Zhang Xuewu, but had already upgraded to the level of admiration.

However, the abandonment of armor from more than 200 remaining troops of the Fifth Battalion of the newly formed Third Regiment, which was responsible for the task of luring the enemy, also opened Zhang Xuewu's eyes wide open. Zhao Xinyu frowned and pressed his hand on his pistol holster at his waist and remained silent. Everyone knew that this was obviously beyond the scope of the real luring the enemy into depth. It was very obvious that the Fifth Battalion was completely defeated.

Zhang Xuewu didn't say anything. With one battalion, he could still withdraw more than 200 people with repeated attacks from the Japanese army and a brigade. Zhang Xuewu thought that the battalion commander was a talent, so he smiled at Zhao Xinyu and said, "Yes, your regiment's fifth battalion has done a very good job of luring the enemy into depth. You should know that the Sixth Division opposite us is a difficult role. If you don't play like Japan, you will definitely not take the battalion commander. Go and call the battalion commander of this battalion, I want to see you!"

Hearing the expectations of the throne, Zhao Xinyu kicked his commander and said, "Didn't you listen? Call the fifth battalion commander Hu Zhenglong over here, do you understand running?"

But in a while, a typical Northeastern man with a height and a big horse ran over and stood attentively and saluted: "Hu Zhenglong, the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion of the new third regiment, met the master!"

Zhang Xuewu frowned slightly as he heard Hu Zhenglong’s irregular report. Seeing Hu Zhenglong open his arms in a cold weather, he left two Mauser pistols on his waist, crossing a flower mechanism diagonally, and holding a Czech-making machine in his hand. Not far away, a guard soldier carrying ammunition was not daring to lean over, and looked here timidly. Zhao Xinyu, who was beside him, hurriedly explained: "Capital Commander Hu turned out to be the deputy of the Second Pistol Regiment of Tang Yulin. Tang Yulin only cared about family fortunes and property. Deputy Hu was angry and demanded to lead his troops to fight against Japan. The 1,200 people he brought to form a battalion. He is currently my lieutenant colonel battalion commander!"

Zhang Xuewu nodded and looked at Hu Zhenglong and said, "How many people are there in your fifth battalion?"

Hu Zhenglong was slightly stunned, looked around the brothers sitting on the ground not far away, and said a little dismal: "Besides more than 200 minor and serious injuries, there are only about 200 people left!"

Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "If I hand over the main position on the front of the old street to you, are you sure?"

The main position on the front of the old street? Hu Zhenglong looked around in confusion, and then said incredibly surprised: "The girls' high school behind the old street is the place where the division headquarters is located!"

Hu Zhenglong was suddenly stunned because he found that Zhang Xuewu was looking at him with interest. Hu Zhenglong felt a little sad for a moment. He was as black as a crow in the world. He first competed with the main players. If he had known this, he would rather take his brothers to beat the Japanese like grass. Now he was treated as cannon fodder and was exhausted on the side ridge of Majiagou? His more than 1,200 people even included less than 400 people who were missing their arms and legs! What kind of evil did he do?

Hu Zhenglong took a deep breath. He knew that it was not that easy to get involved in the Central Army, especially the newly formed First Division, which is equipped with German instructors holding German equipment. Could it be that the division seat wants to sue the letter?

However, if the position of the old street is lost, the women's middle school where the division headquarters is located will be directly exposed to the attack of the Japanese army. The division headquarters will not be unclear about the interests between them. Hu Zhenglong immediately said without hesitation: "Please rest assured by the teacher. I can't guarantee anything else. The only thing Hu Zhenglong can guarantee is that the generals of my Fifth Battalion guard the old street. The Japanese can only step over our bodies. If I put it in my death, I can't take care of that much."

Zhang Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "Then don't be your battalion commander!"

Ah? Hu Zhenglong was stunned. Before he could recover, Zhang Xuewu continued: "Get out a battalion of the division reserve team and handed it over to the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hu Zhenglong, deputy of the new third regiment, to defend the main position of the old street! Order the Assault Company 1 and Assault Company 2, I want to give a lecture!"

Soon, within the Women's Middle School, the two companies of Assault Company 1 and Assault Company 2 had a 189-person reinforcement company.

These two assault companies were specially prepared by Zhang Xuewu for the old street fighting. Each squad had a standard sixteen people, eight people and one combat group. Each person was equipped with two Mauser pistols and a P-18 submachine gun. Each combat group was equipped with a Czech light machine gun. Because Zhang Xuewu had disarmed the two reinforced regiments of the Tang Yulin Pistol Brigade, the richest one now is the Mauser pistol, which is commonly known as the muffle gun. Tang Yulin's Mauser pistols are all real 28 rapid-fire types imported from Germany, equipped with insertion ten and twenty-round magazines. The standard cowhide rigging equipment is six ten-round magazines and four twenty-round magazines, with a total of one hundred and forty rounds.
