On Gao Cang's position, Japanese soldiers from two squadrons tried to break out many times, but after more than twenty soldiers died, they finally gave up resistance and set up defenses in the tunnel to prevent the Chinese army from charging towards them.

Gao Cang had no intention of attacking them, and the little Japanese could see that the Chinese army wanted to trap them alive in the tunnel.

We have been without water or food for a whole day, and the water droplets seeping out from the cracks in the rocks have become treasures that the little devils are vying for, and urine has become their most cherished water source.

Some little Japs didn't want to die in humiliation like this, so they rushed out and wanted to launch a suicidal charge, but machine guns were already aimed at the way they came out, and the Japanese army could only leave a few corpses in the corridor.

At the beginning, the little devils tried to drag the bodies back, but after a day without water, they no longer had much energy to take care of the dead people.

"There is news from the battalion commander, asking what happened to the little devil!" the flag soldier reported.

"What else did the battalion commander say?" Gao Cang asked.

"He also said that the little devils may adjust their attack tomorrow, so we should be prepared and we must not let the little devils on the battlefield cause us any trouble."

"Adjust the offense? What other methods can the little devils use?" Tian Kezhi asked.

"Report the situation of the little Japs in our position to the battalion commander. Tell the battalion commander that we will be careful." Gao Cang said.

It was rare for the soldiers to have a very peaceful night. There was no sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield, and there were no night attacks by Japs. Zhao Zhiguo also slept very peacefully.

In the middle of the night, the captain of the little devil changed.

Although the Japanese army changed the commander, their offensive method was still the same. The newly appointed commander issued a military order to their brigade commander. If the road was not opened within two days, he would have his belly disemboweled.

Apologize.

Even though the supply of artillery shells was insufficient, the Japs launched a strong attack under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks.

This time the little devils once again experienced a loud noise, and the violent explosion seemed to blow away their souls.

"Boom boom"

The last two huge "Mareizi" that Zhao Zhiguo and the others planted in front of the position exploded with tremendous power, knocking down a tank and an armored vehicle belonging to the Japs on the spot.

With broken pieces of porcelain and iron nails flying in the sky, many of the Japanese soldiers quickly remembered the explosion they had experienced for the first time. The scene was almost exactly the same.

The newly appointed Japanese commander never thought that there would be such a scene, and he gradually understood why Taro Yamamoto did not open the road.

But the newly appointed Japanese commander did not care about the lives of their soldiers. Without the support of armored troops and artillery, he still ordered the troops to attack because he knew very well that he had issued a military order and he would die if he could not take the Chinese army's position.

, in this case he can only risk everyone's life.

The Japanese army frantically attacked Zhao Zhiguo's position for two days, but the position remained motionless. The front of the position was covered with more Japanese corpses, and the Japs still failed to capture the Chinese army's position.

"Battal Commander, our casualties are getting bigger and bigger! There are a few seriously injured people who may not be able to make it through."

At night, Qin Dongsheng dragged his tired body against the wall and reported today's casualties to Zhao Zhiguo. Ten more of their brothers were killed today, and the number of wounded increased by a dozen. The most important thing was that their seriously wounded could only be left behind.

On the battlefield, there is no way to treat him in time, he can only wait for death slowly.

"The crazier the Japs attack, the more it proves the importance of our position, so the less we can let the Japs pass. Tomorrow is the fifth day, right? I guess Yao Pengju and the others have already thought of a solution in Heyun County."

Zhao Zhiguo loaded the pistol with enough bullets little by little, and then checked his firearm.

"Battal Commander, why don't you take the brothers and leave, and I'll stay and rearrange." Qin Dongsheng said, "We haven't received any news from our superiors so far. Maybe they have abandoned us."

Their defense line has collapsed for five days, and they have lost contact with the regiment and division headquarters for five days. There are fighting everywhere, and the regiment and division headquarters may have been lost.

If Pingcheng is lost, they will only be wasting their lives by staying here.

"I know what you are thinking. In fact, I am also a little shaken."

Zhao Zhiguo was also thinking that they had indeed lost any contact with the outside world. It didn't matter whether the county where the regiment headquarters was located was in their hands. If Pingcheng had been lost, it would be meaningless how long Zhao Zhiguo could hold on here.

"Battal Commander, I, Qin Dongsheng, have not been with you for a long time, but without the battalion commander, I, Qin Dongsheng, would not have changed so much. So, battalion commander, you should lead the troops and leave. I promise that as long as I, Qin Dongsheng, live,

, we must hold on until the fifteenth day.”

Qin Dongsheng wanted more brothers to survive. If the Japs continued to attack like they did in the past two days, their battalion might not be able to survive until the fifteenth day.

By that time, the remaining brothers will also have many wounded and exhausted soldiers, and the possibility of them successfully breaking through is very small.

"Remember what I told you? You will be the one who commands thousands of armies in the future. How could I abandon a talent like you? There are also those brothers who have followed us through life and death. I want them to point their fingers at me.

Do you think I, Zhao Zhiguo, am a deserter?" Zhao Zhiguo felt heavy.

"Battal Commander, I have witnessed our battalion becoming stronger step by step. From the beginning, three soldiers in the army could not share a gun, to now, each soldier can stand alone. The person who truly leads the army to become stronger is

You, and no one else, as long as you live, I believe you can lead a team that can fight better than it does now."

Everyone knew that without Zhao Zhiguo, their troops would not have such a strong combat effectiveness. Everyone on the position could die, but Zhao Zhiguo could not die.

"Stop talking about this. The fifteen days I said are fifteen days. After fifteen days, I will take you away together. I, Zhao Zhiguo, will not leave any brother behind. What's more, Yao Pengju hasn't taken action yet, we still have

Odds of winning.”

"Can we really still win?"

"Yes! It must be possible! I believe, and you must believe too, that as long as the Japanese army stretches the front too long, it will become more and more difficult for them to supply. Without supplies, even if they reach Pingcheng, they will have no choice but to retreat!"

Zhao Zhiguo knew that this plan would work, but he did not know how long it would take for his plan to work.

Fifteen days was just what he thought was the time. If the Japs' frontline troops could hold out for fifteen days, it would be meaningless for them to hold on to their positions for fifteen days.
