The 114th Regiment of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army launched a continuous strong attack on Xitong. After one day and one night, more than 1,500 officers and soldiers were injured and killed, but they still failed to shake the position of the special melee team.

Bathed in love, he dreamed of defeating the special melee team and killing Zhang Junhao, so that he could be promoted to three levels in a row to become a general and won the honor of no honor. Colonel Maruyama, the captain of the 114th Regiment, had to fall into cruel reality from his dream. The ideal was too full and the reality was too backbone. No matter how smart and capable he was, in front of Zhang Junhao and his special melee team, he was just a mad dog. Apart from barking in vain, he was not an opponent of the special melee team led by Zhang Junhao. If you continue to fight in this way, the 114th Regiment must be wiped out. Not to mention becoming a general in the future, even this colonel will not be able to be a general.

The rebuilt 114 Regiment was all recruits, only eighteen or nineteen years old, and none of them had ever been on the battlefield. The tactical literacy was very poor, and the combat effectiveness was much worse than expected. How could such a team be the opponent of the Special Melee Team? Letting such a team attack the Special Melee Team is no less than giving away a head.

That night, war was still on the front line, with shells exploding everywhere, and the flashes of the shells illuminating the night sky.

Colonel Maruyama ran along the cliff to the command of the 18th Division and begged the general of Shin-1st Tanaka to allow him to lead the remnants to retreat.

How could the Shin-Yin Yi lieutenant General Tanaka let Colonel Maruyama lead the team to retreat? The order given to him by the 33rd Army Command was clear. Even if all teams were fully captured, they must seize Xitong. If they could not defeat Xitong, Shin-Yin Yi lieutenant General Tanaka would have to have a caesarean section.

General Shin-1 Tanaka was more afraid of death than Colonel Maruyama! If he didn't wear makeup to escape in the direction of Mengguan, he would have been dead. However, as the highest commander on the north side, he knew more about the serious consequences of retreating without authorization. Retreating without authorization means running away. The 33rd Army Command has the right to implement battlefield discipline on him. As long as the 33rd Army Command does not issue a retreat order to him, he can only stick to Xitong and continue the battle with his teeth. After the team died, he led the command personnel to launch an attack.

Although Shinichi Tanaka is now afraid, because powerful reinforcements are coming soon, at least on the surface, they can still remain calm.

Lieutenant General Tanaka Shin-yi said to Panic Colonel Maruyama: "The 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division will arrive in a few more hours. Once the corps arrives, it will be able to fight side by side with the 114th Regiment. The 128th Regiment and the 151st Regiment of the 53rd Division will also arrive tonight. Masao-yichou Watanabe will maintain a synchronous offensive with our side. Not only that, the ten howitzers and ten tanks transferred from Hachimo from the 33rd Army Command will also arrive within a few hours. The command of the 33rd Army Command is very clear, and all those who retreat without authorization will implement battlefield discipline. Since powerful reinforcements can arrive in a few hours, what are you still worried about? Return to your command post immediately and continue to lead the team to attack and attack me!"

Colonel Maruyama heard that such a powerful reinforcements would arrive soon, and his self-confidence immediately burst out, with a smile on his face, and he stood attentively and said hi.

At this time, the 33rd Army Command had arrived at Meng Gong. Lieutenant General Masato Hondata-Tao-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta

The reason why Lieutenant General Honda Tatsumasa, commander of the 33rd Army, convened the meeting of these two division commanders because the commander of the 56th Division was originally responsible for commanding Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao Watanabe, but Lieutenant General Watanabe did not achieve good results. Now that the two regiments of the 53rd Division, as well as heavy artillery units and tank units have arrived, it is natural that the commander of the 53rd Division, Takeda Shin, should be ordered to be responsible for commanding the south side of Xitanabe. However, Lieutenant General Takeda Shin took office in April and was not qualified. Lieutenant General Honda Shin was worried that the veteran Masao Watanabe would not listen to Lieutenant General Takeda Shin, so it was necessary to summon the two division commanders together to say a few more words.

Now for the 33rd Army, Zhang Junhot's melee team occupied Xitong and inserted it into the Japanese confidant like a dagger. If it was not removed, the Japanese army would inevitably perish. It was the consensus of the three lieutenant generals of the 33rd Army to do their best to regain Xitong at all costs.

Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao immediately made a statement and would definitely assist the 53rd Division in the attack on Xitong.

Lieutenant General Takeda Xin also stated that as soon as his team arrived in Xitong, he would immediately replace the original team and launch a continuous high-intensity offensive against the Special Melee Team. He also guaranteed that within one day, he would defeat the Special Melee Team. Lieutenant General Takeda Xin spoke very loudly, which was quite unsuccessful, and it would be like a success.

As soon as the meeting ended, Lieutenant General Takeda Shin-kun, the 53rd Division commander, and Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao, took a bus to the Xitong Front.

Midnight, the 4th Regiment of the Second Division on the north side of Xitong replaced the 114th Regiment to launch a strong attack on Xitong.

Ten tanks on the south side of Xitong rushed westward, and ten howitzers gathered fire to the Xitong Melee position and artillery position. The 128th Regiment of the 53rd Division, led by Colonel Kikutoki Yoshinosuke, followed the tank troops to advance to the Xitong Melee position. Under the command of the 151st Regiment, under the command of the gang leader Kumagoro Hashimoto, was temporarily a reserve force and ready to pounce on Xitong at any time.

In an instant, the night sky in Xitong was illuminated by the explosion of Japanese artillery shells, and the gunshots were dense like strong winds and rain.

Zhang Junhao sat upright at the table in the command post of the Japanese army in Xitong. The continuous explosion of heavy shells shocked the house. Dust fell on the roof from time to time, and the teacup on the table jumped from time to time.

The situation is extremely serious, and the special melee team is quite like a small boat in the ocean and may capsize at any time.

Xie Xinming, Wang Jinxian, Yugong Yingzi, and Yu'er stood aside and looked at Zhang Junhao.

Zhang Junhao reached out to the guard and shouted: "Telephone."

The guard ran over and handed the microphone to Zhang Junhao. Zhang Junhao took the microphone, dialed the phone, and the phone was connected.

"Jack, the Japanese artillery has been bombarded for five minutes, why haven't you fought back yet?"

"Captain, we have discovered the Japanese artillery positions, but since the Japanese artillery positions are five kilometers away, although the Japanese artillery positions are built on flat ground, due to the obstruction of mountains, it is difficult for our artillery to strike them accurately. We are looking for a suitable angle for firing."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must first destroy the Japanese artillery positions for me. Next, we must bombard all the Japanese tanks. If we cannot destroy the Japanese artillery positions, we will be killed by all the Japanese artillery tanks!"

"I understand! Please rest assured that once we find the right angle, we will definitely destroy the Japanese artillery positions."

"very good!"

After Zhang Junhao hung up the phone, he looked to the south.

From time to time, there was the whistling sound of shells flying in my ears, and then the violent explosion after the shells landed.

Xie Xinming said: "Captain, let the commando go and destroy the Japanese artillery positions."

Zhang Junhao shook his head and said, "How could the commando be close to the Japanese artillery position? Thousands of Japanese troops gathered in a narrow area on the south side. Attacking the Japanese army now is equivalent to voluntarily killing them."

Xie Xinming looked to the south and said worriedly: "If our artillery can't destroy the Japanese artillery positions, once the Japanese artillery is corrected in place, the brothers of the infantry detachment will soon be killed!"

Zhang Junhao said: "We must believe our artillery soldiers. They are all veterans of a hundred battles and will definitely think of a good idea. If they can't think of a good idea, we can only fight with the Japanese army."

On the artillery position of the Special Melee Team, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, the captain of the Third Infantry Detachment, shouting at the infantry and ordering the infantry to follow the artillery command and push the artillery.

There were huge iron giant wheels on both sides of the two howitzers, and more than twenty people pushed together, and the cannons were constantly moving.

After the artillery stopped at one place, Lieutenant Colonel Jack personally stood behind the artillery and observed the distance. When he found that the angle was wrong, he asked the infantry to push the artillery to another location again.

After trying five locations in a row, Lieutenant Colonel Jack made relevant orders loudly to the artillery, and the artillery took action quickly as Lieutenant Colonel Jack’s orders.

After a few minutes of busyness, the artillery soldiers reported to Lieutenant Colonel Jack that they were ready to fire.

Lt. Col. Jack issued an order to fire.

Two howitzers fired to the south at the same time, and two shells roared over the ridge and flew towards the Japanese artillery positions.

A strong flash appeared behind the mountain.

Lieutenant Colonel Jack nodded.

He shouted to the artillery: "Just follow the parameters just now, and fire continuously until no Japanese heavy artillery shells fly over."

After the artillery loudly said yes, they corrected the parameters and continued firing.

Lieutenant Colonel Jack ran to a huge rock protruding from the cliff and stood there using a telescope to observe the south side of Xitong.

No Japanese artillery shells flew over from afar, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Lieutenant Colonel Jack ran back and shouted at the mortars: "Calliate fire to strike Japanese tanks."

Twenty mortars immediately fired at the Japanese tanks.

Lieutenant Colonel Jack talked to Zhang Junhao on a walkie-talkie.

Zhang Junhao smiled and said, "Jack, you made great contributions again. Within five minutes, the Japanese heavy artillery did not fire a single shell on our side."

"I decided to use two howitzers to continuously fire the Japanese artillery positions and use mortars to strike Japanese tanks."
Chapter completed!
