    After Meng Yandong killed several little Japs with the MP40 in his hand, he quickly lay down and hid under a hillside to replace his submachine gun with a brand new magazine.

    Now Meng Yandong is no longer a company commander. Because of his previous military exploits, he has been successfully promoted to captain and deputy battalion commander.  But this time he was leading a company to attack.

    Under the constant bombardment of the heavy artillery regiment, the Japanese frontline positions had long been bombed and people were turned upside down. Meng Yandong and the others, under the firepower of submachine guns, light machine guns and G43 semi-automatic rifles, quickly rushed to the Japs' position.  .

    In this kind of close combat and trench warfare, the little devil's 38-type rifle has a too long barrel and its manual bolt-action rifle has poor firepower sustainability, which makes it even more difficult to use in this kind of close combat.

    As Zhou Weiguo replaced the entire army with G43 semi-automatic rifles, the firepower of the Independent First Brigade was more than doubled.

    In this kind of trench warfare, the advantages of automatic firepower are fully utilized. The Japanese army is proud of the stabbing here, but it has become a useless thing.

    One by one, the Japanese soldiers continued to fall, and the soldiers of the First Independent Brigade strode forward on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

    The war continues, the attack continues, but the Japanese defense line begins to shake.

    Ito Masaki continued to dismantle the engineering regiments, baggage regiments, and cavalry brigades and add them to each regiment.  When their field artillery regiment was also destroyed, he simply added the remaining personnel of the field artillery regiment to each regiment.

    At this time, Ito Masaki had never thought that the Chinese army would attack so sharply. In just half a day, emergency situations had already appeared in every direction, and it seemed that his defense line was already crumbling.

    ?¡­

    "Sakamoto-kun! How long will it take for the cavalry regiment of the 9th Division to arrive?"

    At this time, Ito Masaki's face was so gloomy that he could shed water. It was only eleven o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour before noon, but it was only these three and a half hours.

    ?According to reports from various frontline units, their battle losses have exceeded 5,000 people.

    In three and a half hours, five thousand people were killed.  Even the Japanese army, which did not take human life seriously, felt distressed and vomited blood when facing such heavy casualties.

    "They have sent a telegram. They encountered the Chinese army's interception force in Luqiao Town. However, now they have given up attacking Luqiao Town and diverted to Qilitang, preparing to cross Qilitang to reinforce us! In addition, the Ninth Division's  Major General Akiyama Yoshiyun, commander of the 6th Brigade, has already led the 7th Regiment and the 35th Regiment of the brigade and is rushing towards us with light equipment. If they march quickly and overnight, they will arrive at 12 o'clock tonight  Arrive here or there, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to get here until noon tomorrow!¡±

    "Okay! Order the troops to hold on for another hour. Reinforcements from the Ninth Division will arrive in an hour. At the same time, order the troops to prepare for counterattack. Once the reinforcements from the Ninth Division arrive, we will break out from the right wing and rush out of China.  Army siege!"

    "Ha~yi~"

    Now Yi Dongzhengxi can be said to hate Zhou Weiguo to the core. He has never hated a person so much. Today's battle can be said to have ruined his bright future.

    Leading a division of more than 20,000 people, he was beaten to the point of collapse by the Chinese army in one morning, and troops from other divisions were required to come for rescue.  To him, these were the disgrace and humiliation of his military career

    Qilitang, Seventh Regiment Headquarters

    "Regiment seat, our defensive positions have been set up. Commander Chu of the Sixth Regiment just sent us a telegram that a Japanese cavalry regiment is coming to our defense area. It is estimated that the Japanese regiment will pass through us.  !¡±

    Dai Anlan¡¯s chief of staff, Sun Qiming, stood behind him and said.

    "Well! The Japanese army wants to pass through Luqiao Town, but where is Lao Chu's Sixth Regiment? The Japanese army is in a hurry and must bypass Lao Chu and come to our place. Get your brothers ready,  Wait until the Japanese army gets closer and then attack!"

    Dai Anlan spoke out while holding a telescope and looking at the observation port.

    "OK!"

    ??¡­

    Outside Qilitang,

    "Your Majesty, Colonel, the front is the position of the Chinese army. I have sent troops to investigate just now. This is the size of a regiment of Zhou Weiguo's army. It is impossible for us to go around it. Even if it isDetour, it will take us more than an hour to get to Changfeng County from here!  "

    The sixth colonel of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, Mori Yago, of the 9th Division, was riding on a horse. The person speaking next to him was his chief of staff.

    "More than an hour? Then go around it! Lieutenant General Ito Masaki won't be able to hold on for more than an hour, right?"

    There was a flash of disdain in the eyes of the Sixth Colonel Moriyago. A division was beaten by more than 10,000 Chinese troops and asked for support. This was simply a shame and humiliation in the eyes of the people of the Ninth Division.

    "But Your Excellency Colonel, the 101st Division is rushing in very urgently now. Our Division Commander also asked us to rush over as quickly as possible!"

    "Order the troops to rush over! The Chinese army actually set up a position here and ordered the troops to rush over at one go. Don't leave time for the Chinese army, rush over as soon as possible. After rescuing the 101st Division, we will turn around and eat these  Chinese army!¡±

    "Ha~yi~"

    The little devils began to charge. Mori Yagoliu didn't take the Chinese troops in front of him at all. In his eyes, as soon as his cavalry troops charged, they would collapse.

    In history, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, there were indeed many such situations.

    A group of little devils were chasing an infantry division of the National Army.  There were even cases where a squadron of cavalry could handle a city with ease.  It is precisely because of these reasons that the little devil becomes arrogant.  They do not take any Chinese army seriously.

    In addition to the victory in the early Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the Japs were even more arrogant

    What would it feel like with more than 3,000 cavalrymen stepping on the ground?

    That shocking scene made all the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment sweat in their hands.

    Even Dai Anlan was a little nervous. He knew the firepower configuration of the troops, but when the firepower was not fully utilized, he had no idea in his mind.

    But Dai Anlan will see it soon.

    When the Japanese cavalry troops entered 500 meters, the light and heavy machine guns began to roar.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
