.On October 15th, at 5 a.m., outside Liulin Town, the temporary command post of the 39th Japanese Army Regiment was set up in the wild.

"Your Excellency Colonel, the attack on Liulin Town has been prepared. Please give orders!" Major Hirayama-soaked his corps captain.

"Start!" Colonel Jita Duojiazang glanced at the head of the young army officer under his command, and issued an attack order in a slightly stiff tone.

To be honest, Colonel Zhitian Duojiazang, like most Army officers, often have no good feelings for the young and strong people who are fanatical and frivolous in their subordinates, and think they are too naive. Things in the world are so wonderful. Speaking of which, these so-called steady officers, including Colonel Zhitian Duojiazang, came from impulsive young officers back then. But these experiences did not hinder the veteran commanders who were successful and famous, and looked at the abilities of those young and strong officers who had only graduated from the military academy. In the eyes of the colonel, the person in front of him, who was the rank of the rank of the 25-year-old, was the representative of the annoying young and strong officers of this regiment. In this way, the captain of the regiment would have any good feelings for the young and strong people.

Moreover, on his way back from Liulin yesterday, it was Pingshan Zuo who took the lead in inciting the lower-level officers to make trouble that forced Colonel Zhitian Duojiazang to rectify the troops and return to the army at night. What annoyed the colonel the most was that under the pressure of everyone, he had to grant the front-line command of this battle to Pingshan Zuo, a bastard who was disrespectful.

The Colonel had kept this account in his heart, and at this moment he would talk to Pingshanzhuo with a happy face. If it weren't for the public's anger and the fact that he had improper command in this roundabout battle, Colonel Duojiazang, who had long since managed to punish Pingshanzhuo, would have been charged with the crime of superiority.

"Yes!" Major Peace of Pingshan responded respectfully, and finally made Colonel Duojiazang, who was in a state of burning heat, feel a little relieved.

He was very interested in his psychological activities with his weak-hearted boss. He was naturally very insightful with Pingshanzhuo's shrewdness. He just didn't want to have any unhappiness with the colonel because of these subtitles. In fact, Pingshanzhuo was not the arrogant, ignorant and passionate officer that the Colonel imagined in his heart. Objectively speaking, he was a very steady person. The reason why he forced Colonel Tian Duojiazang to return to the army and fight again last night was a last resort. There were not many unspeakable personal purposes.

Major Hirayama Zuo is one of the few outstanding professional soldiers in the Japanese army who are not arrogant or irritable. When Colonel Jidaodada was not yet out of the psychological shadow caused by the joint attacks of the Chinese army in the ground and air. The No. 10-year graduate of the Military Academy Showa 10th year, he had learned a lot of first-hand information on the battlefield from the squad leader who directly participated in the attack on Liulin Town. After breaking the score, he concluded that the troops that defended Liulin Town by the Independent 100 Division were already strong outside and worked hard at the outside.

In addition to being very accomplished in military command, Grandpa Hirayama is also a very confident person. He always firmly believes that his analysis is accurate.

As far as Pingshan knows, the Chinese army's strong brigades have experienced sharp declines in combat power after several major battles. Among them, Pingshan personally experienced several main divisions of the Chinese army's Central Army defending Nanjing, such as the Central Guidance Corps, and the 88th Division, who suffered a lot in Shanghai, played a lot of battles when defending Nanjing. The battles performed far less than those when fighting against the Japanese army in Shanghai.

It was precisely based on his confidence in his judgment and a strong sense of mission that Master Hirayama took action and launched the military admonition a few hours ago. Master Hirayama's original intention was to hope that the 39th Regiment could fight a beautiful battle to restore the "military reputation" of the 10th Division and the 39th Regiment. In the past six months, the 10th Division has suffered too many defeats and cannot be defeated again.

Unfortunately! The cunning Major Hirayama's judgment is correct. And the real situation of the 199th Regiment is much worse than Hirayama expected.

Ma Siyuan, the highest commander of the Chinese army in Liulin Town, faces a grim situation. Outside, the Japanese army's troops are in a dilemma. The relationship between the new and veterans inside is unprecedentedly tense because he killed five new recruits who escaped with guns while catching deserters. At the moment of the enemy, this internal friction within the 199th Regiment further weakens the combat effectiveness of the 199th Regiment, which is not as good as before.

Although Sun Liu's cavalry outside the town can echo the defenders in the town, it is not quenched by far. Ma Siyuan knew very well that the Liulin Town garrison needed to add some veterans with combat experience at this time. But he could not let Sun Liu's cavalry dismount and enter the town to fight? Not to mention how much combat effectiveness the cavalry can have after dismounting, it was because he issued this order. Will Sun Liu execute it? In this kind of internal trap, whether he can defend Liulin Town.

Ma Siyuan almost lost confidence. Although he was not sure whether he could defend Liulin Town before reinforcements arrived, Ma Siyuan, who could die in the line of duty, felt that he could do it. There were too many commanders who led the Chinese army to flee and caused the division to lose territory. Ma Siyuan was a lower-level officer and was not afraid of death. There was no reason to appreciate it in the Mengshi. The letter from the direct commander became a brigade-level officer before losing face to the country!

"The Japanese invaders gathered heavy troops to rush to the positions we were defending. The enemy and us had a very different military strength and equipment comparison, and it was difficult for the staff to maintain the materials for a long time. Please send reinforcements to arrive within two hours, otherwise the Liulin position would be difficult to maintain. The staff was determined to survive and die with Liulin. If the Japanese army captured Liulin Town before the reinforcements arrived, the staff should not live alone and die for the country! Long live the Chinese nation! 4:50 am on October 15th. One hundred independent brigades.

The deputy brigade commander of the lieutenant colonel and the 199th regiment Ma Siyuan. After sending a speechless phone call in his private name, Ma Siyuan walked out of the mailroom with his head held high. The 27-year-old deputy brigade commander of the lieutenant colonel thought of his fiancée wife who had been engaged for less than two months. Only he could explain the taste of that was clear. However, one thing is certain, Ma Siyuan had put life and death aside at this moment.

The Japanese came very quickly. As soon as Ma Siyuan finished the telegram, the Japanese army launched an attack on the positions of the 199th Regiment. As usual, the Japanese army first launched a fierce shelling of our positions by the artillery under the regiment, and then the Japanese army pressed towards the positions of the 199th Regiment according to the ground combat plan and attack formation formulated by the Hirayamazo.

Ma Siyuan's heroic behavior of personally taking charge of the front line still stabilized the morale of the army to a certain extent. At least before the Japanese infantry attacked, there was no incident of the new recruits that Ma Siyuan was most worried about before the war began. Of course, among them, the five deserters who were just killed also played a great role.

"Everyone opened fire!" The moment Ma Siyuan gave the order to open fire, all the weapons in the 199th regiment were spraying the flames of death at the Japanese who were pressing forward step by step.

The Japanese attack troops in three relatively loose lines suffered little losses under the firepower strikes with a huge difference in accuracy in the Chinese army. When the Japanese army rushed to the 199th Regiment, the Japanese army suddenly changed its formation, and all three scattered soldiers lay on the spot, and launched a fierce attack with the 199th Regiment. At this time, the Japanese reserve team also pushed towards the front of the 199th Regiment in a looser formation.

The trick played by the Japanese was a new tactic that Pekan had only come up with Pingshan Zuo. The core of this new tactic is to entangle the Chinese army with the troops that were first invested in combat, and then put into the powerful reserve team to advance forward under the cover of the vanguard, in order to finally form a battlefield form of close-range shooting with the Chinese army. If the 199th Regiment had a city wall to support, the Japanese army would have to suffer a great loss. However, although Liulin was named a town, there was no village wall. The officers and soldiers of the 199th Regiment could only rely on the temporary excavated trenches to deal with the Japanese army, but in fact they did not take much advantage. Pingshan Zuo saw this point and concentrated his superior forces to attack the northeastern sides of Liulin Town. He tried to defeat the 199th Regiment from the front and forced it to defeat Liulin Town from the south or west.

Major Pingshan believed that as long as the 39th Regiment took down Liulin Town, it had completed the combat goals assigned by the division headquarters. As for surrounding Liulin Town and annihilated the Chinese defenders? That was completely unnecessary. Because in this way, the Chinese defenders would definitely fight to the death. It would inevitably cause major casualties in the 39th Regiment, and it would inevitably cause negative impact on the 39th Regiment's final mission to execute the division headquarters of the division headquarters and cut off the 17th Regiment's journey southward.

Pingshanzhuo's move, which is intimately in line with the ancient military strategy of three quads and one, really plays a great role in shaking the originally unstable morale of the 199th Regiment.

Under the impact of the increasingly powerful firepower of the Japanese army, the casualties of the 199th Regiment were also increasing sharply, and among these soldiers who were injured in the battle, those veterans who were brave enough to fight the Japanese army accounted for a large proportion. On the contrary, those recruits who dodged on the positions and targeted survival were not much of a loss.

The 199th Regiment had more recruits than veterans, and now the two are constantly increasing. Gradually, the new recruits who were no longer under the command of the veterans around them turned around and fled to the west and south directions without Japanese troops. At first, one or two, but later ten or twenty, ones lowered their guns and turned their heads and ran away. Although Ma Siyuan was sobered up and shot a leading recruit on the spot, the other officers also rectified some of the new recruits who had jumped off the battlefield, but they still couldn't hold on. The worst thing was that under the order of Pingshanzhu, the Japanese army did not shoot at the Chinese deserters who put down their weapons like that, which further encouraged the deserter trend. For a time, the new recruits escaped from their positions. After only half an hour of war, the 199th Regiment had basically only veterans left there to fight against the Japanese.

"The whole regiment alternately covers and retreats to the town for street fighting." Ma Siyuan saw this and knew that the trench beside the town could not be defended anyway. Instead of consuming precious living forces and attacking the advantageous Japanese army, it is better to withdraw back to the town and fight street fighting with the Japanese army. If the fight is easy, maybe there will be a chance to hold on until the main force arrives.

Although the Japanese army did not spend much effort, they invaded Liulin Town and dismantled half of the Chinese army. But then, the Japanese fought much harder. After paying a considerable price, they completed the retreat in front of the enemy. After successfully shrinking to the second line of defense in Liulin Town, the veterans of the 199th Regiment, which successfully contracted to the second line of defense in Liulin Town, quickly met with the regiment reserve team with the highest proportion of veterans in the regiment. Under the command of Ma Siyuan, they vowed to use their tall houses and their strong close combat capabilities to attack the Japanese troops in the town and dragged them tightly into the streets and alleys of Liulin Town.

Without the drag of the new recruits, the veterans of the 199th Regiment were even more comfortable in fighting. The bullets they shot from everywhere in the town from time to time caused great casualties to the Japanese army. However, the Japanese were extremely uncomfortable with this tactic of only hearing the gunshots and not seeing people. As soon as they entered the town, they caught the 199th Regiment off guard.

In desperation, the front commander of the 39th Japanese Army's 39th Regiment, Major Hirayama-Zo had to order various Japanese troops to compete with him one by one to further compress the activity space of the Chinese army. At this time, Hirayama-Zo had realized that the battle in Liulin Town had only truly reached its climax.

After an hour of battle, after hundreds of casualties, the Japanese army forced the remnants of the 199th Regiment led by Ma Siyuan into its last core position. The Jiang Family Courtyard, the largest building group in Liulin Town, was composed of three finished two-story buildings arranged in a shape.

Basically, three dissatisfied companies composed of veterans of the 199th Regiment were determined to rely on the Jiang family compound to carry out their final resistance under the command of Ma Siyuan.

"Each company has tried hard to maintain contact. No counter-charge is allowed without the approval of the regiment headquarters. You must also pay attention to saving bullets and not empty guns." Ma Siyuan, who had been shot on his left abdomen, was lying on the big bed of the main house. While enduring the heart-wrenching pain, he was still insisting on commanding the troops to fight.

"The various squadrons that have entered Liulin Town must find ways to cut off the connection between the various support points of the Chinese army, and then defeat them one by one. The Kumano brigade, which has not yet been put into battle, will continue to be responsible for monitoring the Chinese cavalry units that may appear behind us. Please pay attention to maintaining the formation of the troops and the concentrated arrangement of firepower. You have to deal with extremely fast cavalry. You are all in a hurry, and we will not have much time left. If the battle cannot be ended within two hours, it means that all the efforts will be wasted. Please work together for the "honor" of the 39th Regiment!" Major Kamiya Kamiya was also dispatching troops to ensure that he could decide the world with one battle.
Chapter completed!
