Seeing Zhang Xinghan rushing out by himself, Hou Wanshan immediately picked up the rifle in his hand and yelled: "Firepower Cover!" The officers and soldiers of the 217th Regiment were all indignant and opened fire violently to provide fire support to Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan jumped out of the trench, hugged his waist, and quickly touched the Japanese armored vehicle with the zigzag line. The Japanese machine gunner was at a high place and had a wide view. He soon discovered him.

He quickly turned around and fired, but he didn't want to follow his companions just now.

A series of heavy machine gun bullets poured over like a heavy rain. Zhang Xinghan quickly turned sideways, rolled a few times, and immediately got up and ran forward quickly.

The Japanese heavy machine gun quickly turned the gun, and the bullet almost chased Zhang Xinghan and slammed it, stirring up a dust curtain.

Running to a raised earthblock, Zhang Xinghan quickly rolled over and narrowly avoided the bombs that hit him.

After standing up, Zhang Xinghan used all his strength to continue running forward because he saw a bullet crater not far ahead. As long as he entered the bullet crater, the Japanese heavy machine gun could no longer hit him due to angle problems.

Zhang Xinghan was running forward frantically, and the Japanese machine gunner also howled like a hideous face and shot wildly, trying to shoot Zhang Xinghan in one fell swoop.

Seeing that he was still two or three steps away, Zhang Xinghan suddenly jumped. At this moment, a dense rain of bullets almost passed by him. Whether from the perspective of the Japanese machine gunner or from the high ground, he thought that Zhang Xinghan had been hit.

Because after almost a minute, Zhang Xinghan never stood up again. At this time, the shooting between the two sides continued, and the fierce sound of gunfire was still deafening.

Seeing that Zhang Xinghan never stood up again, Zhao Heita and Hou Wanshan shouted loudly at the same time: "Zhang Wazi! Xinghan!"

"Little Japanese, I'll fuck you 18 generations of ancestors!" Hou Wanshan was extremely sad, roared angrily, pulled the trigger repeatedly, and shot fiercely at the Japanese.

Zhao Heita also pulled the bolts repeatedly and shot out one bullet after another.

At this time, the Japanese armored vehicle rumbled up and was about to pass the crater. At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and then a dazzling ball of fire rose up and wrapped the armored vehicle.

The Japanese chariot captain was directly shocked to death by the explosion, while the machine gunner was wrapped in flames and burned wildly.

Seeing that the two armored vehicles of the Japanese had been destroyed, the regiment commander Wang Changhai picked up his iron sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Scout the guys! Follow me!"

"Damn!" Hou Wanshan and Zhao Heita pulled out the big swords on their backs, shouted loudly, and jumped out of the trench first.

"Kill!" All the officers and soldiers of the 217th Regiment picked up big swords, roared like thunder and jumped out of the trench, and rushed towards the Japanese in a mighty manner like a flood.

The 29th Army's weapons, ammunition, gunshot skills are not as good as those of the Japanese. It is absolutely a disadvantage to shoot with the Japanese. The only way is to fight against each other, engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, and exert the spirit of the Big Sword Team. This can not only avoid the Japanese artillery fire and heavy machine gun strikes, but also exert the power of the Big Sword Team.

The officers and soldiers rushed down like a tiger going down the mountain. After losing the cover of armored vehicles, their morale was damaged. When the Chinese officers and soldiers picked up the sword and rushed down, they were even more trembling. However, under the pressure of the commander, they could only bite the bullet and greet them.

Zhao Heita and Hou Wanshan both thought Zhang Xinghan had been killed. Their roars were deafening, and they waved their big blades to take the lead and rushed to the front.

However, just when they rushed to the violin's armored vehicle that had been blown up just now, Zhang Xinghan was waving his big sword and fighting with the rushing Japanese.

Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but feel sore, they roared angrily, and rushed forward with a big knife: "Zhang Wazi, Xinghan!"

Zhang Xinghan tried hard to cut over a Japanese devil. Just as he was about to turn around, a Japanese soldier rushed up from the flank with a bayonet.

The big knife in his hand suddenly swept out, hitting the Japanese rifle, and swung the Japanese bayonet. With a "puff" sound, a sharp big knife stabbed directly into the Japanese abdomen.

Hou Wanshan said to Zhang Xinghan excitedly: "Xinghan, I knew that you didn't die so easily!"

"Company Commander!" Zhang Xinghan smiled.

"Stop talking, let's do these damn Japanese maggots first!" Zhao Heita also waved his big knife and urged a Japanese soldier.

"Kill! Kill!" Zhang Xinghan and Hou Wanshan both let out a thunderous roar, waving their big blades into the enemy group.

………………………………………

At the foot of a mountain not far from Highland No. 1, the front enemy command of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Chief of Staff Huo Yizhen San ran into the command center in a furious manner, and failed to hold his feet at attention and reported to Suzuki Mitsuto: "General, the attack of the 5th Infantry Regiment failed. They were counter-charged by the Chinese army. Two chariots were destroyed. The main attack troops were defeated by the Chinese army by hand to hand combat. The brave Japanese Imperial Army suffered heavy losses, and two hundred warriors were loyal to the empire."

"What? Counterattack?" Suzuki Mitsuto was a little unbelievable. Although the Empire Warriors were at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat last night, Suzuki Mitsuto always believed that this was because the Empire Warriors were not good at night battles, and were attacked by Chinese troops. Therefore, they were defeated.

However, if it was caused by night attacks last night, what about today? Today, the Imperial Army not only used artillery beyond imagination to launch artillery, but also used armored vehicles to cover the attack, but was actually defeated by the Chinese army head-on. It also lost two precious armored vehicles.

Before Huo Yishi San answered, Suzuki Mitsuto was furious and roared: "This is simply a shame! The shame of the Imperial Imperial Army! The Imperial Imperial Army of the Great Japanese, will be invincible and will be able to defeat it! Can't you still capture a small Qifengkou? Generate power to the division headquarters and ask the air force to provide air support! Bombing the Highland No. 1 and Highland No. 2! Ordering the artillery to fire with all your strength! I want to razed the entire Highland No. 1 to the ground!" Suzuki Mitsuto was almost mad, and he didn't care about the lack of resources in the Great Japanese Empire, and how precious steel shells were.

"Hayi!" Huo Yizhensan quickly lowered his head, then turned around and strode away.

In the following battle, the Japanese dispatched planes bombed Xifengkou and Heights 1 and 2 in turn, and the most threatening were the Japanese artillery. Due to the limitations of ammunition capacity and range, it was impossible for the aircraft to bomb for a long time. The Japanese artillery could almost uninterrupted artillery bombardment with sufficient shells to provide artillery support for infantry.

Under the cover of artillery, the Japanese launched attacks on the No. 1 and No. 2 several times, and once even rushed to the high ground. After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, the officers and soldiers of the National Army drove down the Japanese attacking troops. In one day, the Japanese launched a crazy attack. The entire outer periphery of Xifengkou was blood flowing like a mountain, and both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties.

In the evening, the Japanese attack finally stopped, the fierce gunfire disappeared, replaced by rare tranquility.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Xifengkou Pass City, the 109th Brigade and the 109th Brigade.

General Zhao Dengyu's injured left leg had been bandaged. In addition to the commander of the 217th Regiment, Wang Changhai, the commander of the 218th Regiment, Ji Xingwen, there were also commanders of the 110th Brigade, Wang Zhibang, and several commanders of the 110th Brigade.

There was only one kerosene lamp in the brigade department, so it looked a little dim, and there was a large military combat map on the table.

General Zhao Dengyu looked around and looked at everyone present, then said: "Dear colleagues, today we are ordered to fight the Japanese invaders here. It is up to all the brothers to fight bravely. The soldiers bleed and sacrificed their blood to ensure that the city of Xifengkou is not lost, making it difficult for the Japanese invaders to advance half a step forward! This time we are summoned to hear everyone's views on this battle so that we can formulate a more detailed combat plan, firmly defend Xifengkou, and block the attack of the Japanese."

"Host! I have a few opinions!" Wang Changhai, the leader of the 217th Regiment, stood up and said.

"Please tell me, Captain Wang!" General Zhao Dengyu nodded and signaled.

"Bizhi believes that although we blocked the Japanese attack this time, we also paid a very heavy price. As we all know, the Japanese are well-equipped and well-trained. They not only have powerful artillery, but also have planes and tanks to assist in the war. It can be said that there are planes in the sky and cannons on the ground. What do we have? We only have rifles and grenades. Today's battle can withstand the Japanese attack, all of which are the brothers' lives for their lives! In terms of hand-to-hand combat, we are not afraid of him, but when it comes to firearms, we can only sigh!" Wang Changhai expressed his opinion with some depression.

"Yes! What Captain Wang said makes sense! In terms of hand-to-hand combat, we Chinese are the ancestors of the Japanese! But the Japanese have planes, cannons, tanks, and especially the Japanese artillery. This thing poses too great a threat to us! At least two-thirds of the casualties of our regiment today were caused by the Japanese artillery!" Captain Ji Xingwen, the commander of the 218th regiment, stood up and took it.

"Well! Commander Ji is right! Our regiment suffered heavy casualties under the fierce artillery of the Japanese! In my opinion, if you want to defend Xifeng's mouth, you have to knock out the Japanese artillery first!" Wang Changhai nodded in agreement.

General Zhao Dengyu nodded when he heard this, then turned his head to General Wang Zhibang, the commander of the 110th Brigade beside him, and said, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"I think both of them are right! The Japanese invaders have taken advantage of firearm equipment. Like the fierce battle during the day today, it is very unfavorable for us. Instead of being passively beaten, if you stop attacking! Unexpectedly attacking the Japanese artillery positions in one fell swoop, killing the Japanese's majesty!" General Wang Zhibang replied in a little thoughtful manner.

"Well! What Brother Wang said makes sense! When fighting with the Japanese during the day, they had cannons, tanks, and planes in the sky. This was not good for me. And when it was night, it was a great opportunity for us to use our close combat and night battles. Therefore, I intend to draw a group of brothers who are very skilled and good at using big swords to re-form the big sword team and attack the Japanese artillery positions at night! What do you think?" General Zhao Dengyu nodded and asked immediately.

"I agree!" General Wang Zhibang took the lead in speaking.

"We have no objection!" The leaders of each group also expressed their opinions.

"Okay!" General Zhao Dengyu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to General Wang Zhibang: "Brother Wang, the candidate of the Big Sword Team, will draw 300 brave and good warriors from each of you and my brigades, and I will personally lead the attack on the Japanese artillery positions! You will stay and command the battle."

"Brother Zhao! I agree to the transfer of personnel! But you are injured, and the Japanese artillery positions are cautious, so they cannot be unprepared. This is a fierce battle! So, I think you should stay and command, and I will bring the big sword team!" General Wang Zhibang said sincerely.

"Brother Wang! You and I know that this is a life-and-death life! Shunchen, a martial artist, was a state-owned man when he joined the army. Now that the country is in trouble, he is fortunate to lead his army to fight against Japan. He has long put life and death aside. Even if he dies in the battlefield, he will be considered a place to die! If I don't come back, the 109th Brigade will be commanded by Brother Wang and fight against the enemy together! We must ensure that Xifeng's mouth is not lost. I have decided, I hope Brother Wang will be successful!" Zhao Dengyu said with a moving expression.

"Yeah!" General Wang Zhibang also looked moved: "Brother Shunchen, don't worry, the gun is there, the person is there, and the position is there. As long as there is one person in my 37th Division, the Japanese will not want to go further from here!"

Zhao Dengyu saluted after hearing this, and then turned around and said to Wang Changhai and Ji Xingwen: "You will draw personnel from each battalion immediately. In an hour, the brigade department will gather!"

"Yes!" Wang and Ji agreed with each other and then turned around and left together.
