Chapter 643: The Tiger Guards are coming! Unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable!
Guangdi, more than 30 kilometers east of Suicheng.
The sound of gunfire continued. In a mountain area, a figure dressed in militia clothes was lying in a trench.
While he was loading his rifle, a soldier ran up to him with his body hunched.
"Captain, something's wrong. The Japanese soldiers who passed by our ambush site didn't seem to be very interested in fighting. They attacked like crazy, trying to break through the defense of our ambush point."
Xiao Hu squatted in the trench. This ambush was in response to the great victory of the Huben Army in Sudi. The entire Guangdi was almost ablaze.
There were large-scale battles involving tens of thousands of people, and smaller ones involved a battalion of more than 2,000 soldiers who set up an ambush on the road leading to Suicheng.
The purpose was to ambush the troops heading towards Suicheng.
After all, they now have a lot of troops gathered in Huicheng, preparing to attack Huicheng.
"What's going on in Suicheng?" Li Chengxiang thought for a moment and asked loudly after hearing this.
"Zheng Lu and his men have already entered the city!" Xiao Hu responded immediately.
"Then we must keep blocking them! This is a death order."
Li Chengxiang spoke in a firm tone. At this time, a shell fell on their position.
boom!
The heavy machine guns set up by the Japanese kept firing at their positions. There were three infantry battalions, which was far beyond the difficulty of blocking them.
"No wonder the Japs are going crazy. The crazier they get, the more effective our blocking efforts are. Tell the brothers, until Brigade Zheng's order to retreat comes down, the people in the position will remain!"
Li Chengxiang spoke in a firm tone.
After all, Huicheng has not been taken down yet. If their blocking position is lost, it means that this group of Japanese support will reach Huicheng.
Although the number of Japanese soldiers exceeded their expectations, there were tens of thousands of people attacking the city behind them, and they must not let these troops affect the siege.
"Captain... we have troops from the mountain city behind us. If we withdraw our defense, they can still hold on. Besides, their regimental commander also said that they can hold on to these little devils..."
Xiao Hu said this in a persuasive tone, because he knew that if the battle continued like this, the entire brigade of more than 2,000 people, according to the speed of the Japanese attack, they could only hold out for two hours at most...
If there is no order to retreat within two hours, all that awaits them is annihilation.
"Either they come, or we hold our ground here. There's no retreat. Since we've chosen to take up arms, we should do as the Tiger Guards did and reclaim our homeland. One generation dies, three generations live! Most importantly, I don't believe in mountain cities!"
Li Chengxiang said firmly that although they did not have the strength of the Huben Army to recapture one homeland after another, they had now entered the city of Sui and the opportunity was right in front of them.
They have already picked up their guns and are determined to fight for their chance of survival no matter what!
And the most important thing is that Shancheng's behavior is despised by others.
Xiao Hu, who was standing by, gritted his teeth and responded firmly, "Yes!"
"Big Knife Team!" Li Chengxiang's voice came.
In the trenches, a team of about fifty people appeared early in the position behind them, with shining broadswords in the hands of these soldiers wearing militia uniforms.
The blade was already stained with a lot of blood. Every soldier's face was covered with dirt, and there were more or less wounds on their bodies.
"The Japanese on the right wing are charging again. Follow me and charge down. Let's fight hand-to-hand..." Li Chengxiang's eyes were somewhat sad as he gave orders quickly and simply.
"Life and death are determined by fate! If I die in battle, Xiao Hu will take my place. If Xiao Hu dies in battle, the deputy captain..."
After he said this, he picked up the big knife beside him. A cloud of smoke passed by him, and he was responded by the firm voices of a group of soldiers.
"Yes!"
"Get ready!" Li Chengxiang said, moving quickly in the trench.
On the right wing, they were preparing to use the only three machine guns on the position to cover the charge, with their swords raised and their eyes like wolves.
In the sky where their blood-stained swords pointed.
"rush!!"
With a shout, bursts of whistling sounds were heard in an instant, like war drums.
call out!call out!call out!
As if in response to the broadsword pointing to the sky, the iron and firearms of the old era alternated.
boom!
The sound of an explosion followed, and Li Chengxiang's gaze froze. The entire big knife team stood there in a daze, unable to move forward.
As soon as the Japanese soldiers advancing on the right wing showed their heads, artillery shells fell on the place where they gathered.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and a lotus of flesh and blood exploded. Blood mist and flames rose up, and all the Japanese soldiers outside were blown away. Finally, they fell to the ground in pain, wailing in agony.
Blood and flesh began to rain in that area, falling around the Japanese soldiers, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.
Some shells fell directly on the Japanese mortar positions.
Just one artillery shell created the most beautiful fireworks show on this battlefield!
Rumble!
Explosions rang out one after another at the Japanese mortar positions.
I saw another huge ball of fire superimposed on top of another ball of fire. The explosion pushed the flames away, forming a new flame. The heat wave even rushed directly to the guerrillas' positions, making the big knife team feel the temperature on their faces.
The hair of the soldiers lying on the battlefield looked like grass being blown by the wind.
"This kind of artillery fire...Ahu, what's going on!" Li Chengxiang shouted loudly.
"I don't know, he's not one of ours!" Xiao Hu ran over quickly with his body bent, and his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
Although the two were guerrillas, they were very familiar with the situation around Huicheng. These were definitely not the artillery fire from the troops they knew.
It was extremely terrifying, like a sharpshooter shooting with a mortar!
"Who could it be..." Li Chengxiang recalled many troops in his mind, but they were all rejected.
Just as he was about to speak, a burst of killing sounds rang out.
"kill!!!"
The sound was so loud that it startled many soldiers on the battlefield, and even Li Chengxiang shuddered inwardly.
Because the sound of killing came from the flank of their position, if they hadn't been able to understand the sound, they would have even thought it was the enemy.
"Death Flag...Tiger Army!!!"
Xiao Hu pointed at the soldier who had already rushed to the front of them and spoke loudly.
"The Tiger Guards have arrived in Guangdi!"
"They're coming!"
"Brothers! Kill!!!"
"..."
For a moment, when many guerrilla fighters on the entire position saw this scene, many of them shouted.
At this moment, only one voice could be heard on the entire battlefield.
The land's intimate cry.
Li Chengxiang's eyes moved slightly, the shouts touched his heartstrings, he held the big knife tightly in his hand, and walked quickly.
The Japanese were completely defeated almost instantly!
It was not the kind of rout that led to an evacuation, but rather it was as if they saw the god of death approaching them step by step. Some Japanese soldiers simply dropped their guns and fled.
The Japanese soldiers who once showed off their power in Guangdi were completely crushed at this moment.
"This is the Tiger Brigade that pacified the three regions..."
Li Chengxiang was stunned. He felt goose bumps on his hands and his heart was beating very fast. He held the big knife tightly in his hand and swung it instinctively.
Although he had heard of the Tiger Guards, what he saw with his own eyes made him feel that such a battle was far beyond his understanding.
They were once chased and attacked by the Japanese and bombarded with heavy firepower, but those well-trained Japanese were like children in front of the Tiger Guards and could not organize an effective defense at all.
He dominated the world, sweeping across the land like a savage barbarian facing the charge of heavily armored cavalry!
It collapses at the first touch.
"Captain...the battle of the Tiger Guards is over." Xiao Hu's tone was filled with disbelief.
The battle is over?
The Japanese suppressed them for several hours, even though they were the blocking side and had the advantage of terrain, they still fought for so long.
From the time the Tiger Guards' artillery fire fell to the time they charged, the entire process took no more than twenty minutes!
More than two thousand Japanese soldiers were wiped out in less than twenty minutes?
You have to know that in the battle of Guangzhou, the two infantry battalions of the Japanese were chasing their entire division as it retreated.
Even in the battle of Suicheng, if a battalion had been stationed to defend a position, their force of more than 10,000 men would not have been able to defeat it.
But now, twenty minutes!
Even if there were two thousand pigs here, it would be difficult for them to finish killing them in such a short time!
"This is the Huben Army." Li Chengxiang swallowed, his eyes always on the Huben Brigade that was cleaning the battlefield in front.
And the way they cleaned up was... cleaning with gunfire, with a row of people going over to clear it out.
"The Huben Army seems to be leaving! No... a large force is coming!" When Li Chengxiang looked at the battlefield, he came and went like the wind, without even making any unnecessary stops.
In the distance, a large and dense army was marching quickly. The troops that had just participated in the battle continued to advance. It was obviously just the vanguard of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
I've heard countless stories about the might of the Tiger Guards, and I've heard countless legends about Lin Tianchen. But only by seeing it with my own eyes and experiencing it can I understand just how terrifying the Tiger Guards are.
Their life-and-death battle was like a passing scene in the hands of the Tiger Guards' vanguard.
As soon as the death flag was raised, the Japanese were unable to resist at all. After their defeat, another army immediately surrounded and killed them... The Japanese didn't even have a chance to retreat.
The lethality of modern weapons is like the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death in the hands of the Tiger Guards.
"too strong!!"
Suicheng.
The flames of war were everywhere and the smoke rose into the sky.
The sound of gunfire seemed to become the wailing of this ancient city, and bullets and shells continued to destroy it.
In the entire city of Sui, in the east, when the soldiers attacked the city, the siege had already evolved into street fighting.
Every street has become a grinding mill. Blood has begun to stain the ground and flow into the ditches through the cracks.
In the Japanese command center in the city, a messenger was reporting.
"Sir, the Pudong evacuation team has already evacuated to the border of Guangzhou City, but they are still evacuating south without stopping."
An officer in front of him heard this and stared at the map with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"These empire rubbish couldn't defeat a force from Jin that had marched a thousand miles. They were completely defeated in just three days of street fighting."
After Yamashita Matsuda threw the stack of information about Lin Tianchen in his hand to the ground, he looked at Takahashi Kazutoshi who was standing in front of him with anger on his face.
"Sir, you should know that even the 800,000-strong Kwantung Army, which is known as the strongest in your army, could not defeat the Tiger Guards. Do you think we can still defeat such a team on land?" Takahashi Kazutoshi said in a cold tone.
"Is this the excuse your navy used to propose to headquarters to shift the strategic focus south to Southeast Asia?" Yamashita Matsuda said without giving in.
"You just haven't fought against the Tiger Brigade. Their street fighting, attacks, soldiers, and their artillery fire are simply beyond your imagination." Takahashi Kazutoshi responded again.
After all, the scene in Pudong still frightened him in his heart. Miyamoto Shizuo, who was known as a strategic master in China and the dean of the military academy, issued a warning to Lin Tianchen.
You can't gather in a group, the formation must be dispersed... When fighting the Tiger Guards, you either push forward or hold your ground, you can't flee in front of them...
These are the combat experiences gained by the Kwantung Army at the cost of their lives.
He experienced it and felt that it was indeed so, but what could he do? He still couldn't stop it.
The strength of the Tiger Guards lies not only in the commander Lin Tianchen, but also in the charges and tactical styles of the soldiers, which are not on the same level as theirs.
Sometimes the gap in equipment was also widened by them, and the Tiger Guards, equipped with anti-tank equipment, were completely unstoppable.
In addition, as soon as heavy firepower appeared, it was counted.
Kazutoshi Takahashi knew that a team that had defeated the Kwantung Army had no chance of winning.
"That's because of the incompetence of you, Navy Malu!" Yamashita Matsuda said loudly upon hearing this.
Just as he finished speaking, a messenger came running over in a hurry.
"Report... Report, the troops in Linyuan County have lost contact!"
"There's been no telegram from the support troops in Sanhe City!"
"News from the troops in Gu County...the Tiger Guards are coming!"
The staff officers who were drawing maps and discussing how to retake the east of the city and prepare for a counterattack were all stunned.
Coming from Pudong so soon?
For a moment, the entire command room was silent, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
No one expected it to happen so fast!
Yamashita Matsuda was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, staring at the map intently.
boom!
A huge explosion sounded from outside the city at this time, causing Yamashita Matsuda to shake his body instinctively, and his eyes immediately turned to the city.
"The Tiger Guards are attacking the city!"
