    When the Japanese soldiers rushed seventy or eighty meters in front of the defenders' position, Zhang Hao decisively pulled the trigger and ordered the soldiers to open fire!

    At this time, the soldiers who were waiting in formation were already full of anger. After hearing Zhang Hao's order, they opened fire one after another!

    "Da da da"

    Rifles are screaming, machine guns are roaring, and dense bullets are shooting at the Japanese army as if they are free!

    The little devils were also shocked. They never expected that the troops on the defender's position would wait for them to arrive unscathed. Judging from the intensity of the opponent's firepower, the number of defenders on the opposite position had definitely not decreased.  It has even been enhanced a lot.

    Facing the strong counterattack firepower of the defenders, the Japanese soldiers who rushed up were immediately beaten and staggered, and each soldier was beaten into a sieve by the intensive firepower!

    When the poisonous gas dissipated, they saw all the soldiers on the garrison position wearing gas masks in neat order. The scene was very shocking!

    Seeing this scene, Yoshizumi Ryosuke was confused, and the Japanese troops on the front line were confused!

    As we all know, the main material for making gas masks is rubber, but China produces very little rubber, and most of it needs to be imported from Southeast Asia.

    Once any kind of material is imported, it will definitely be extremely expensive, so the price of gas masks has also soared with the price of raw materials.

    ??And the Chinese government¡¯s economy itself has not been very good in recent years. Before the war, the calibers of light weapons were not even unified. Who would care whether the troops are equipped with gas masks.

    Therefore, in fact, more than 90% of China's troops are not equipped with gas masks. Although the remaining 10% of the troops are equipped with gas masks, they are only equipped with a small part. Each regiment only has one or two hundred.  It is rare to see troops equipped with gas masks on a large scale.

    On the other hand, although the defenders on the front line of Bengbu cannot be counted clearly, there are at least several thousand troops in the front trenches alone. Each of these people has a gas mask. This scene really shocked the Japanese officers who were watching the battle.

    But even so, Yoshizumi Ryosuke did not order the troops to retreat. At this point, they had no other choice but to fight hard!

    In view of this, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately ordered the infantry brigade assembled behind him to go up as well. Even if he sacrificed his life, he would flatten the small Bengbu city opposite.

    With the crazy attack of the Japanese army, a thick layer of Japanese corpses was spread on the forward position. Blood flowed down the ground, and then gathered at the anti-tank trench, forming a large pool. The land along the way was dyed red with blood.  .

    This attack lasted for more than two hours. The Japanese army deployed four infantry brigades of infantry and all tank troops, and also used all artillery on the front line, but they still failed to capture the defenders' forward positions.

    During this period, the Japanese aviation force came twice for reinforcements, but it was still of no use. Instead, the defenders beat down 7 fighter planes!

    Of course, the defenders did not get a good deal either. A large number of wounded people in the city were killed by poison gas bombs, and the troops at the front also suffered heavy losses. When the battle was at its fiercest, Li Guoyao even used the Huang Mazi unit to protect the field hospital.  Also sent out.

    As for the other directly affiliated troops of the Seventh Division, almost none of them was idle. They were all engaged in the battle, and both sides used their full strength.

    After being repulsed, Yoshizumi Ryosuke still refused to give in. After resting for a while, he continued to order the troops to attack. He did not believe that so many troops under his command could not even defeat the small city of Bengbu.

    This time the Japanese army was even crazier than before. Even when the front-line troops were attacking, the artillery from the rear still did not stop, especially those large-caliber heavy artillery. Their huge destructive power would occasionally blow up the Japanese soldiers rushing in front.

    Although crazy, the effect is quite obvious. Under such a crazy attack by the Japanese army, the forward position of the defenders at the south gate suffered heavy casualties. A large number of soldiers were killed and their bodies had no time to be transported out of the trenches, so that the trenches were "overcrowded" and extremely  Greatly affected morale.

    At this time, the veterans of the Dujiu Brigade who were responsible for the defense of the main position of the South Gate were almost all lost. The new recruits were facing the three-dimensional attack mode of the Japanese army in the air and on the ground, and their confidence was seriously lacking. If the Dujiu Brigade's brigade headquarters was not behind, I am afraid that  The troops at the front are likely to collapse.

    The battle lasted until around 7 o'clock in the evening, when the Japanese army finally rushed to the front line of the south gate, and the two sides fell into a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

    Seeing that the front-line troops finally broke into the garrison position, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others were so excited that they continued to invest more troops in the front-line!

    ?Knowing that the front line of the south gate had been breached, Li Guoyao was a little shocked, but he was not angry. He was very satisfied that the battle had reached this point. Although they had lost the outer position, they still had the Bengbu city wall.

    Although the defensive power of Bengbu's city wall is not strong, it can still hold out for several hours. Anyway, the troops on the outside have begun to counterattack. As long as they can hold on until dawn, the Japs will inevitably withdraw their troops.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to call the troops outside and ordered them to withdraw to the city immediately to continue fighting.

    Following Li Guoyao's order, the defenders outside the city withdrew into Bengbu City one after another. The outer positions of Bengbu were finally captured by the Japanese army.

    After capturing the first-line position, the Japanese army did not stop. They followed the defenders' retreat route and marched all the way to Bengbu City, and officially launched a siege at 8:30 p.m.

    When the siege started, in the mountainous area to the west of Chu County, a large force was marching hastily. This force was well-equipped, but dressed in various colors, and did not look like a regular force at all.

    Yes, this was the Jiangnan guerrilla force that Li Guoyao separated from the 7th Division. After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Lu Wenlong and Jiang Feng began to prepare. In the afternoon, Jiang Feng had already rushed there with more than 300 people.  Chuxian county seat, and has successfully sneaked into Chuxian county seat.

    Of course, the reason why they could easily sneak into Bengbu City was mainly thanks to the Japanese, because just yesterday the Japanese army posted a notice in the city to recruit a group of young and middle-aged people to load and unload supplies and do other work for them.  The treatment was pretty good. In addition to food and drink, I was also given 10 kilograms of grain every day.

    This is food. The most important material to survive in troubled times is not money and materials, but food that can fill your stomach. 10 kilograms of food a day can basically feed a family of five, so I know that working for the Japanese may be dangerous.  , and may be poked in the back by the villagers, but many people still go there.

    Jiang Feng and others sneaked into the city after learning the news. Of course, their purpose was not to help the Japanese, but to carry out operations at night.

    After Jiang Feng and others left, Lu Wenlong personally led the main force of the Jiangnan guerrillas and set off after the sun set for the county seat of Chuxian County. He expected to arrive outside the city at around ten o'clock, at which time the troops inside and outside the city would launch attacks at the same time.  , it should not be difficult to capture Chu County.

    At the same time, on the other side of the mountainous area, a huge cavalry force was also marching quickly under the cover of night, and their target was Nan Qiao.

    As the first stop for Japanese troops transporting to the front line from Nanjing, Nanqiao has always been an important logistics base for the Japanese army. What's more, Nanqiao is now also responsible for the supply of logistics materials for the entire Japanese army, so it has also become a  Li Guoyao was determined to win.

    In addition, on a mountain road between Dingyuan and Bengbu City, a large number of national troops are setting up ambush positions, and their target is Chongteng Detachment. Once Chongteng Detachment plans to withdraw from here to Dingyuan City, it will be embarrassing  , Li Guoyao's subordinates will let them know why the flowers are so red.

    As the troops deployed on the periphery of the 7th Division were mobilized one after another, the counterattack was about to begin!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
