I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 386 The troops that support them in breaking out have arrived

Everyone looked at the river which was as bright as day, and didn't know what to do.

Zheng Yaoxian changed into a captain's uniform of the Central Army, which he got from somewhere.

He picked up a Zhongzheng rifle with a bayonet, which looked quite realistic.

The soldier who said that his engagement was broken off kindly reminded him.

"Sir, if you try to break out wearing this outfit, you'll become a sitting duck."

"Thank you, little brother, this military uniform is something I wore before.

Since we are going to fight the devils to the death today, let's wear it on the road."

The soldier looked at Zheng Yaoxian's military uniform with envy.

"Sir, if I could wear our Chinese military uniform again, even if I died, I would be buried in my ancestors' graves."

Zheng Yaoxian: "Hahaha, when we charge later, please stay away from me, or you will be implicated by me."

"Do you really think I'm stupid? When the time comes, the Japanese machine guns will definitely shoot you first.

If I stay with you, I will be covered with holes."

Everyone was squatting in the dark trench, chatting about random things.

Only when the Japanese's flares rose into the sky could everyone see each other's faces clearly again.

"Da da……"

"Observation post, where are the gunshots coming from?"

"Reporting to Commander Fei, there are people shooting behind the Japanese defense line.

Sir, listen, the sound of gunfire is very dense, not all of it is the sound of the Japanese Type 38 rifles. "

There was no need to listen to any gunshots at this time. It was just two kilometers behind the Japanese defense line.

There had already been continuous artillery fire, with flames from exploding shells and grenades shooting into the sky.

The Loyal and Patriotic Army could see everything clearly on this side of the river.

Fei Huanan came over to Zheng Yaoxian excitedly and said, "Mr. Zheng, someone is fighting with the Japanese.

Also, listen to the gunshots, they are getting closer and closer to us, and their speed of breaking through is too fast."

The Loyal and Patriotic Army on this side of the river also heard it.

The troops that broke through the Japanese defense line over there didn't even stop.

They basically broke through while marching.

The Japanese defense line could not stop their advance at all.

Fei Huanan, the commander-in-chief on this side of the river, can clearly see what is happening over there.

Perhaps the Japanese thought Fei Huanan was scared, because the Loyalty and Patriotic Army had not dared to attack for four or five hours.

Therefore, the Japanese troops on the other side of the bridge withdrew two squadrons of soldiers to return for defense within ten minutes.

Five minutes later, the gunfire from behind the Japs came closer and closer.

The Japanese battalion commander on the opposite side had no choice but to dispatch another squadron of soldiers to support the defense lines of the two battalions behind him.

Zheng Yaoxian whispered to Fei Huanan: "Don't show your heads. Follow my orders. Let's prepare to break out."

The Japanese captain looked at the Nationalist positions while listening to the gunshots getting closer and closer from behind.

He felt that today's battle was too strange and a little beyond his understanding of battle.

The national army that was fighting against him on the other side of the bridge was actually the "rebel army" of the Chen puppet government.

In the afternoon, they only attacked three times before retreating to the other side of the bridge and no longer attacking.

Their intentions were very clear. They were either waiting for reinforcements or preparing to break out at night.

But they had confirmed several times that there were no reinforcements from the National Army nearby.

It is said that the Japanese insider in Taizhou City has already found out the military's attitude.

The Nationalist troops there were busy dealing with the New Fourth Army and did not have the courage to come over to provide support.

There were no other armed forces nearby that had the ability and courage to rescue the people from the hands of these three battalions.

As for their plan to break out at night, that was even more impossible.

The river is so deep that it's almost submerged, so there's no point in thinking about armed swimming across it.

Besides, we have a flare every five minutes, and four searchlights are illuminating the river surface.

Before you even get into the water, the light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers here have already covered you.

Even if the national army on the other side can go into the water, what can it do?

They were just a group of living targets. The riflemen of the Imperial Army were enough to make the National Army bleed like a river.

But what puzzled the three captains was that the other side was too quiet. Could it be that they were preparing to surrender tomorrow morning?

Don’t they understand that even if they surrender again, they will be executed tomorrow morning?

In fact, they had already received orders that all captured "rebels" would be executed on the spot once they were caught.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the defensive force behind them called their captain.

A troop of unknown number launched a surprise attack, and with just a single salvo of firepower, one of their squadrons was wiped out.

Now the first line of defense at the back has been broken through by the enemy.

The other two squadrons, which had no time to counterattack, immediately retreated under the leadership of the squadron leader.

Together with three squadrons from another battalion, they organized three lines of defense to block the reinforcements of the National Army.

But they could see clearly from the wooden bridge that the Japanese defense behind them seemed useless.

It was like they were being pushed.

Their defense line was retreating rapidly and was about to collapse.

This is why the two Japanese battalion commanders, along with their squadrons, quickly returned to provide support.

The Japanese captain had someone underground and was worried about the safety of those behind him.

Another squadron of Japanese soldiers was sent to support the defense at the rear.

He was also a little frightened. He had been in China for such a long time, but had never encountered such a powerful army.

You have to know that this is the war zone between China and Japan. The large number of National Army troops coming here cannot be hidden from the surveillance of Japanese spies.

It could only be a small elite force of a few hundred people.

Listening to the movements of the Kuomintang's automatic weapons, you can tell that most of them are using submachine guns.

You know, with the financial resources of the National Army, it is not difficult to organize a force of 500 people.

But for elite troops armed with automatic weapons, this number is almost the limit.

However, this form of combat will always result in heavy losses.

It is very likely that after such a big battle, these elite troops will suffer heavy losses and all their equipment will be lost.

Would those bigwigs of the National Army be willing to give it up? Not necessarily. So what are the origins of these people?

The one who came to help the Loyal and Patriotic Army break out was Commander Yang of the Gannan Marine Division.

Whether they are agents from the Japanese Special High Police or the national army in Taizhou city.

Because their actions were so covert, no intelligence personnel were able to discover them.

This time, Commander Yang brought three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion.

There is another one, which is a special company sent by the division headquarters.

Add to that the artillery company he borrowed from the Jiangnan Militia Division, and there would be about 4,000 people.

He left the Zibo Heavy Battalion and the regiment headquarters in the militia division.

He had no choice but to stay, because people were afraid of him, so they took the artillery company away and left him as a mortgage.

In fact, he was entrusted by Song Wenwan to go to Taizhou to pick up Zheng Yaoxian and Fei Huanan.

This tactic emphasizes the feeling of a thousand-mile raid.

It was too easy for him to expose his target if he acted with the people from the Zizhong Battalion and the regiment headquarters.

They had already discussed the countermeasures beforehand and agreed to cooperate internally and externally.

Originally, Captain Yang and his men were waiting outside the blockade line to pick them up.
