Chen Shizhang, the commander of the 40th Division, stood beside Huang Baitao, and his face was also burning with a burning burn.

Chen Shizhang wanted to defend himself that the equipment of the 1st regiment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was much better than that of the 118th regiment, and the training was better than that of the 118th regiment. However, even he himself felt that the reason was too pale. Equipment training was only superficial. Compared with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the officers and soldiers of the Army lacked the aura of no other than me.

To put it bluntly, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui once participated in the Battle of Hulu Reed Valley and had psychological advantages against the Japanese army.

However, the Di Army almost never achieved victory when facing the Japanese army. Not to mention psychological advantages, it is brave enough to not tremble when facing the Japanese army.

"Military throne, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui began to fight hand-to-hand with Japan," the adjutant suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang's expression trembled as he heard this, and then he raised the telescope in his hand again.

"Is this... Sun Laobao?" The high-magnification telescope greatly narrowed the scene of the battlefield ahead. Chen Shizhang saw the officer of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army rushing in front at a glance. Although he couldn't see the outline of his five-tube, Chen Shizhang felt extremely familiar just by looking at his figure and his crisp and neat assassination.

When Sun Laobao was in the 40th Division, he was the best assassination master.

"Sun Laobao?" Huang Baitao's eyes also fell on Sun Laobao who was lying on the battlefield and asked, "Brother Shi Zhang, are you talking about the assassination master?"

"Yes." Chen Shizhang said bitterly, "He used to be our army."

Huang Baitao's face suddenly fell. Such a brave officer could not stay in the army. Xu Shijiu was recruited. Let's look at the officers under Xu Shijiu. Gao Shenxing, Li Mu, and Li Zihan are all not good at it. Even Niu Sigen, a patrolman who was born in a wild way, is now a brave general.

Could it be that Xu Shijiu really has a temperament that attracts so many brave people?

Or there is a characteristic in Xu Shijiu that can allow his officers to be transformed subtly, from cowardly and incompetent to brave and war-friendly generals?

"Martial throne, we may lose this contest." Chen Shizhang said.

Huang Baitao nodded and sighed, "It's certain that you lose, I hope you don't lose too embarrassingly."

Chen Shizhang pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "Military, do you want the guard battalion to be put into battle now?"

According to the agreement between Xu Shijiu and Huang Baitao, both sides could only invest one regiment of troops to participate in the battle. However, neither side agreed that no other battalion could temporarily strengthen the regiment that was put into the offensive. Huang Baitao took advantage of this loophole and temporarily incorporated Chen Shizhang's guard battalion into the 118th Regiment and acted as the general reserve team.

Now that the 118th Regiment is progressing slowly, it is necessary to invest in the guard battalion with stronger combat effectiveness.

However, once the guard battalion enters the battle at this time, after the Japanese front collapses, the 118th Regiment will not be able to draw too many troops to chase the enemy. In this way, the number of killing enemies and the results of the battle will greatly shrink. This is something that Huang Baitao does not want to see, so he really refuses: "No, it's not time yet."

There is a reason why experts like to hold bayonets in reverse.

When holding a bayonet directly, you can basically only use two actions of stabbing and chopping. If you hold a bayonet in reverse, you can have many complex actions such as wiping, pricking, picking, cutting, and hooking. It is more concealed and difficult to prevent before the knife is released. Of course, if you do not have a strong assassination foundation, holding a bayonet in reverse is purely seeking death.

However, veterans like Sun Laobao are of course not seeking death.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Japanese lieutenant slashed the air with a knife, Sun Laobao hit the knee and pushed hard on the abdomen of the Japanese lieutenant. The Japanese lieutenant immediately curled up with pain. Sun Laobao shook the bayonet in his hand and stabbed it downwards, and he had already pierced the Japanese lieutenant's head. The stabbing blade pierced through the back of the Japanese lieutenant's head and then penetrated it from his mouth.

The Japanese lieutenant's brain was pierced by a bayonet and he didn't even say a word, and he died on the spot.

Another Japanese soldier rushed over with a bayonet. Sun Laobao even dodged half of his body to the side, and narrowly avoided the knife. Just as the little Japanese bayonet was sliding against Sun Laobao's cheek, Sun Laobao had already pulled the bayonet out of the head of the Japanese lieutenant and wiped it from the throat of the Japanese soldier like lightning.

With a puff sound, the hot blood splattered violently. Sun Laobao rushed forward again, but the Japanese soldier fell to the ground with his knees soft and his knees. A stream of blood splattered from his blooming neck. After kneeling for a moment, the Japanese soldier fell heavily to the ground. The red blood instantly moistened the ground under him.

There were a sparse pine forest on the left side of the battlefield, and there were bursts of dull horse neighs from time to time.

The war horse was connected to the spirit, and Wulong had already smelled the smell of iron and blood from the air and began to become restless. Peng Wu had to keep stroking Wulong's neck to slightly control its restless emotions.

Huang Baitao thought of taking advantage of loopholes, and Xu Shijiu certainly wouldn't wait.

Xu Shijiu also temporarily organized Peng Wu's cavalry battalion into Li Zihan's 1st regiment, but the cavalry battalion did not enter the first phase of the offensive. Xu Shijiu's idea was actually the same as Huang Baitao. The cavalry battalion's task was to wait until the Japanese front collapsed completely before breaking out and use its powerful maneuverability to expand the results.

Although from the perspective of the battle situation, Li Zihan's 1st Regiment's offensive was obviously more fierce than the 118th Regiment of the National Army. The 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment was less than 500 meters away. Li Zihan's 1st Regiment had already advanced nearly 1,000 meters. However, there was only one squadron opposite the 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment, while Li Zihan's 1st Regiment had three of them.

Therefore, no one can guarantee that Li Zihan's 1st Regiment will be able to break through the Japanese defense line in front of the 118th Regiment.

Once the 118th Regiment is allowed to break through the Japanese defense line first, even if it is only a dozen or twenty minutes ahead, it will have an advantage in the number of killing enemies. After all, compared with the battle stage, it is more capable of killing the enemy in the pursuit stage. Xu Shijiu does not want to lose to Huang Baitao in this contest.

Of course, the Japanese field troops generally do not collapse on the whole line, and even if the entire army is destroyed, they rarely collapse on the whole line. This may be related to the weak combat effectiveness of the national army, but on the Chinese battlefield, especially in the four years before the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was no case of the Japanese main division collapse on the whole line.

During the Battle of Xuzhou, the main forces of the Little Japanese No. 10th Division were beaten to the point where the entire army was almost destroyed, and they did not collapse.

In the Battle of Wanjialing, the 10th Peak Regiment of the Little Japan was even beaten to only more than 500 remaining soldiers, but they did not collapse on the whole line.

Therefore, on the front battlefield, even if you defeat the Japanese, there is no saying that you will expand the results of the battle, because the results you achieve on the battlefield are already the greatest results.

But the Japanese garrison troops were not considered combat troops after all. If the situation was not good, they might collapse on the whole line. The Japanese opposite had both field troops and garrison troops. As long as they defeated the field troops that were in front, that is, the 56th Battalion of Independent Infantry, the remaining gendarmerie, puppet troops and other troops, they would be the prey that the cavalry battalion wanted to kill.

Peng Wu was waiting for the signal and waiting for the order of the cavalry battalion to attack. Before he knew it, the sunset had already been set on the hills. He took out his pocket watch to see the time. The hour hand was barely pointing to 4:30 in the afternoon. Although April has now entered, it has been much longer than the day in winter, but it is still less than two hours before dark.

Peng Wu's face inevitably showed a hint of anxiety. If he could not break through the Japanese defense line within an hour, if he was dragged until dark, his cavalry battalion would lose any effect. In the darkness, war horses could not gallop freely, and cavalry could not participate in the war.

However, no matter how anxious Peng Wu was, time was still passing by little by little.

However, the attack signal that Peng Wu was looking forward to never appeared, and the battle situation did not seem to be smooth.

Although the old Haneda's military police and the puppet army could not fight tough battles, it was still possible to rely on the flanks of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade to fight a defensive battle. Although Li Zihan's 1st Regiment's offensive was fierce, it still seemed a bit reluctant to face the three front and back defense lines built by the old Haneda's old devil on the right wing.

After all, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui still lacks heavy firepower.
