.June 1st, at midnight. On the high ground near Qiuzhuang, north of Shabu Town. Although Qiuzhuang is a small village with only 180 households, the area of ​​the high ground in front of the village is as big as three or five Qiuzhuangs. Under the dim moonlight, looking from afar, this continuous slope for several miles is really a bit like a tiger and dragon. At this moment, there are thousands of "hungry wolf" peeking at the wind and grass below the slope.

In the middle of the highland, at this time of war, Cheng Jiaji, the commander of the new 20th Army, who was in great responsibility, was hiding in the leeward to engage in "corruption".

Few senior officers of the New Twenty Army did not know that their military captains had an inexplicable quirk since half a year ago. Whenever they had the opportunity to spend the night in the wild, as long as they did not catch the bad weather with heavy rain, the military captains would abandon their tents, wrap them in two military blankets, and lie on the cold ground to deal with them all night.

The upward and downward effect are a fine tradition of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Cheng Jiaji, a major general and commander, set an example and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Those divisions and regiment commanders dared to swagger in the military tent to enjoy happiness. So, the officers lie in the military blanket and lie in a long sleep, which became a symbol of fashion and identity in the New Twenty Army. At the beginning, officers at all levels only had a continuity and maintained a consistent pace with Shangguan. Over time, the "smart" people gradually discovered that this "fashion" had advantages such as making the chief officers sleep alertly and the troops react quickly when encountering emergencies, which helped to harmonize the relationship between the upper and lower levels. In the end, the personal habits of the highest commander became a military force.

Unwritten military rules, so that a soldier was promoted to an officer, and he was called "to wrap a bun with fur strips". Even Lieutenant General Huang, who rarely praised others, occasionally met during the last military confrontation exercise, praised the style of the New Twenty Army, saying that Cheng Jiaji's move was full of the legacy of the land first and then generals advocated by famous generals, and said that he would promote it vigorously throughout the entire army. At that time, the faces of several division commanders of the New Eighteenth Army changed color. It goes without saying that not everyone liked to sleep in the open. He secretly complained about Cheng Jiaji's innovativeness and led everyone to suffer foreign crimes together. Whether others praised or criticized Cheng Jiaji, the person involved, turned aside, refused to comment, and still did his own thing.

In fact, he has never had the habit of asking for trouble and lacks the enthusiasm to "take a show". The reason why Cheng Jiaji has this controversial "family". There is a irresponsible pain. All of this starts with Cheng Jiaji sleeping on the hillside next to the Rhino Foot Port half a year ago. Since then, Cheng Jiaji accidentally discovered that only in this environment can he see his parents and girlfriend in another time and space that are unknown how many days apart from him. With this understanding, Cheng Jiaji is deeply in love and wants to get out and walk on the arduous journey of self-abuse. "Boss Cheng! Boss Cheng!" Cheng Jiaji's luck today seems to be not good. He is a once-in-a-lifetime super dream of getting married with his girlfriend. As soon as he was a critical juncture, he was disturbed by Wen Songyuan, a human-shaped fly.

Wen Lao Er conceived the romantic affairs of Chunxiang in Zuihualou. Maybe it was time to inform the "Hedong Lion". Otherwise, once the matter was leaked, the risk I would take would be quite high. If Wen Songyuan could be "fortunate" to know that Cheng Jiaji was squinting his eyes and looking at his heart, he might not be sure that his heart would kill the "Boss" on his head.

After deciding to betray Wen Songyuan severely, Cheng Jiaji felt that his mentality was much more balanced. He said to Wen Songyuan very gently: "Wen Lao Er, you are a general after all, so you can't have a bit of temperament. Talking about it, what's the matter?"

Wen Songyuan was obviously frightened by the unique tone of Tang Monk in the subconscious imitation of "American Journey to the West". He was stunned for a few minutes before he vented his anger as if he was whispering to Cheng Jiaji's ear: "Boss Cheng, the Japanese have come out of the turtle shell, and there are a large crowd of people, with 17,800 people."

This time it was Cheng Jiaji's turn to be shocked. What does it mean to have 17,800 Japanese devils? Two full brigades! There are so many soldiers in the Zhongyuan Rules area, so there is not even half a mobile soldier in Qinzhou City. He doesn't want Qinzhou anymore!

At the same time, the same doubts were trapped by the manager of the camp who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai Jing's posture, waiting for the Zhongyuan Ruoyi to take the bait. He wanted to catch a golden carp, but he caught a great white shark. How to deal with this scene!

At one o'clock in the morning, there were crowds of people in Qinzhou and Shabu Town on the wilderness.

To be honest, the Japanese are more thorough in the military saying that the old Chinese old want to fight a fire. It is almost three years since China and Japan started a full war. In the past three years, whenever a certain part of the Japanese army was surrounded by the Chinese army, the Japanese reinforcements from all directions could bring the dying Japanese army out of desperate situation by the besieged troops. This is why since the July 7th, there have been many cases of Chinese army defeating a Japanese army.

, the crux of the possibility of a cadre's clear annihilation is that, unlike the propaganda we have received since childhood, under non-special terrain conditions, even if the Japanese army is good and helps the car wheels with small feet, their marching ability is generally higher than that of the Chinese army. The maneuvering power is all-round. It is undoubtedly a factor that cannot be ignored today, and China is still at a relatively disadvantage in the entire Sino-Japanese war.

But for some reason, the Japanese army, who had been rushing out of Qinzhou City, was actually anxious and striding in a slow rhythm, heading towards Shabu Town under the sky that had been red with fire and signal flares. The abnormal situation that the Japanese reinforcements, which attracted much attention from China, could not escape the eyes of the Chinese scouts lurking around the Japanese army, and quickly passed it back to the command centers at all levels of the Chinese army through them, adding new troubles to the already doubtful generals.

"His Excellency the Acting Commander, is it that the order to speed up the troops' movement, or send a corps to advance first? The Chinese attacked fiercely, and this time, in just four hours, Colonel Tamoto called the military to speed up the pace of combat guidance." Major General Aoki always felt that he was walking like an outing like this. Before the brigade could reach the ground, the loss of Shabu Town might be quite large.

"Just maintain the current marching speed, there is no need to divide the troops. I can trust Tian Benjun's command ability. He shouted fiercely but he could still support him for a while. Aoki, please supervise the various field corpses and make them pay attention to the overall uniformity of the entire army, and do not allow light troops to advance." Faced with the inquiry question of Aoki, the actual "acting deputy commander", when Aoki himself was a junior chief of staff, he was already a veteran of the local army. He was polite to the Earth's Chief of Staff. This time he responded extremely tough. Not only did he deny Aoki's suggestion in one sentence, he pushed Aoki to the opposite side of Aoki's own opinion.

It was not unexpected that Kazuichi Kazuichi squatted in Shabu Town, where the fortifications had been crippled in the previous four days of battle, Colonel Damoto and his 124th Regiment, which had been rebuilt half a year ago, had been under some pressure in these four hours. But among the more than 18,000 "soldiers" he brought out of the city this time, only two and a half field corpses and a 9,000 baggage corpses. The remaining seemingly vast army of nearly 10,000 troops were just the same as those of the two "corpses" that came out of Qinzhou City during the day to scare away the 36th Army. They were even mixed.

More than a thousand days ago, the puppet army was transferred from Guangzhou to maintain public security in the city. With such a comprehensive quality of the soldiers, how dare you put the field troops into battle alone? You should know that the number of people who quietly peeked at the Japanese army under the gloomy night sky was unknown, but the Chinese army that was determined to exist and intend to cut off the Japanese army's return may jump out like a cheetah at any time, biting its favorite prey. Without a certain number of regular troops as a skeleton, those clerks who have only received intermittent military training, the vendors will definitely establish the delicious yellow sheep in the cheetah's mouth.

Of course, the opponents of the battlefield who are not underestimated will not be naive, and they will think that China will be exactly the same twice in a day. In his expectation, it is best to be able to rely on the number of 1,800, which is so huge that it will definitely make the Chinese commander feel hot, and force the Chinese army that is attacking Shabu Town to retreat. Otherwise, they will only fight hard. Under the supervision of those veterans who have been through the battle, Zhongyuan Yuangui firmly believes that the 10,000 "new recruits" who are temporarily recruited can still play a corresponding role. To be honest, it is inevitable that ordinary citizens who have not received complete systematic military training will be driven to the battlefield. Although they understand in their hearts that everything is for Japan's national destiny, when they make this decision, they will inevitably have some "conscience uneasy" if they are not as heartless as iron.

As expected by the Central Plains, before the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Shabu Town, the "water" contained in the Japanese soldiers was confirmed by the Chinese side through scouts to observe and the intelligence sent by the agents from the city.

"The Japanese are crazy. Most of the nearly 20,000 people are fakes wearing yellow skins. Isn't this a gift to me? Cheng Da, I think the camp will let us break out soon." Cheng Jiaji, who knows that the Japanese expatriates have received strict military training, does not think the situation is as optimistic as Wen Songyuan said. Although the quality of reinforcements from the Japanese this time is not very good, there are too many people. Just count the three expatriates to one regular Japanese army, so from Qinzhou, Japan is from Japan.

The actual combat power of a person is 12,000 Japanese. This conservative number greatly exceeds the upper limit of 8,000 people that we had previously estimated. It is even more amazing to count the intrinsic nature of the Japanese on those "quasi-soldiers". After calculating the comparison of the forces between the two sides in his mind, Cheng Jiaji patted Wen Songyuan's shoulder and said with confidence: "Wen Lao Er, send the orders to let the brothers go to bed with peace of mind, and there will be no orders before dawn."

Facts have proved that Cheng Jiaji's judgment was accurate. After thoroughly understanding the reality of the Japanese army, the battalion director who was rich in command at the forefront was ranked in the sea of ​​the Chinese army, neither sounded the horn of the net as scheduled, nor chose to give up. Instead, he took the simplest and safest response measures, and consumed! Use a nightly war of attrition to make the Japanese giant pig, which was a bit too plump and overwhelmed by the Zhongyuan Rules Division.

There is no coincidence in the war of attrition, and the more capital you have, the greater your chances of winning. The battalion director who had only three divisions could directly enter the battle was afraid that there would be a mistake in the shortage of troops. He threw his reputation for half a lifetime to a young Japanese devil. He was quickly transferred from a nearby 100,000 to the rear-end division directly under the war zone, and ordered the 36th Army, who was hiding in the Overturned Ridge to quickly reorganize the army and carry out side attacks on the Japanese attacking troops.

Six divisions have more than 50,000 people against 20,000 Japanese troops. From the previous battles since the Sino-Japanese War, the two armies have been handed over. Not to mention that there are 40% of the Chinese troops. They are either recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have no practical experience or defeated soldiers who have been beaten by the Japanese army during the day. Fortunately, the Zhongyuan Rules are full of flaws and cannot count them. In addition, China has taken advantage of the two sides to attack. After two rounds, they have made up for one leg and fought with each other. The strength is similar, and the battle has reached its level. From 2:00 a.m., 70,000 to 80,000 people have been in this relatively small area around Shabu Town, and they have been thrust into each other. This kind of pushing and grinding style is the most cruel.

After that, there was no earth-shaking. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the established troops were "collectively missing". In some focus areas, the combat mode was often that a squadron of the Japanese army was only exhausted by a battalion of the Chinese army. Before the battalion could breathe a breath, a brigade of the Japanese army came up. Then, the subsequent troops of China and Japan, one by one, which were larger than the other, came on the stage one by one. The scale of the battle was getting bigger and bigger, and the number of casualties naturally increased. The piles of corpses on the ground were piled up higher and higher, until both sides felt that there was no way to stop the troops. On the battlefield where the killing sound was shocking just now, only the gurgling sound of blood slowly flowing on the ground and the wailing sound of the severely injured who were on the verge of death.

The killing is far from over, and later, this scene of human tragedy will be repeated in another area that was considered valuable by a commander on one side.

In this way, the fierce battle continued until dawn, and was "stopped" by a bomber group that came early in the morning to "dissuade" the Japanese army.
