If the 14th Brigade marched alone on the nearly forty-five-kilometer mountain road, Xiao Anbao would be sure to complete it within nine hours. However, due to the burden of the Americans, the marching speed was seriously slowed down. At nine o'clock that night, they We set out from Siocon at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon and walked for fifteen hours. It was not until 12 o'clock in the afternoon that we walked out of the forest and discovered the Japanese military camp. Fortunately, although the rain became lighter, it did not stop. , Therefore, the Japanese aviation forces were still unable to dispatch, so Xiao Anbao still had the upper hand,
After driving for fifteen hours in a row, the Americans were as tired as a male dog that had just made peace with a dozen female dogs. Many people fell down immediately after receiving the order to rest where they were. Douglas was considered physically fit. It was better, but his face was also blue at this time, and his body seemed to be twenty or thirty kilograms lighter, as if he could be blown down by the wind at any time.
As for Xiao Anbao, during the most difficult period of the march, he helped a cadet carry a machine gun. However, at this time, he still looked in high spirits. To Douglas, he seemed to have taken stimulants.
A poncho was stretched out by Lu Da. Wang Mintian took out a map and a red and green pencil. Xiao Anbao took the pencil, drew a circle on it, and said to the three group leaders surrounding him: " It looks like the rain will stop at any time, and we don’t have much time left. Tiger, I’ll ask you to play forward, are you having any difficulty?”
Wang Laohu rubbed his nose and said angrily: "Sir, you underestimate me, Old Wang. Just relax, our 504th group promises to give you a good start."
Xiao Anbao smiled with satisfaction and said: "The opponent is the Fourth Division. You know, as long as they are willing to surrender, then we will try to kill as little as possible, melon."
"Xiangbancheng" is the nickname of Xiang Bancheng, the leader of the 505th regiment. Xiang Bancheng frowned and said: "Prince, you called me Xiangbancheng again."
Xiao Anbao pursed his lips and said: "Your group will go around here, Lao Luo, your group is ready to respond. There are Filipinos here, so don't let any of them go."
"Yes." Old Luo Luohong responded happily,
"Rest for a quarter of an hour, then take action. Tell the brothers that when we return to Guangzhou, I will give everyone a week-long vacation so that everyone can get enough sleep."
"yes."
The three regiment leaders quickly disappeared in the rain. Douglas then walked up and asked Wang Mintian what happened.
Wang Mintian looked at Xiao Anbao and did not answer his question directly. Xiao Anbao understood some English. He glanced at Douglas and said: "Tell him it's okay. If nothing happens, we can meet up with Sharp and the others in an hour at most." "
Wang Mintian then told Douglas that the Xuebing Army would launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.
Douglas looked at the trainees sitting back to back, with a look of extreme surprise on his face, and said: "Should we launch an attack at this time? The soldiers can hardly even hold their guns. This will affect the combat effectiveness." of."
"I know." Xiao Anbao said solemnly: "But look at this day." He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and continued: "The rain may stop at some point, and once the rain stops, the Japanese aviation force will be able to Provide support. At that time, we won’t save anyone and just run away into the mountains and forests.”
Douglas felt relieved, but still said: "But..."
Xiao Anbao waved his hand and said firmly: "I believe my brothers, they may not be able to hold their guns steady, but as long as the battle really starts, I firmly believe that we will win."
Douglas looked at Xiao Anbao's firm expression and felt a force in his heart. He turned to look at the students sitting back to back in the rain. Seeing that they were still holding the steel guns in their hands even if they closed their eyes, he vaguely felt After understanding something, I suddenly thought to myself: "Is this the power of faith?"
At the garrison position outside Sibuco City, Sharp, accompanied by Marunan, inspected the position. Seeing that the clouds in the sky were tending to dissipate, he couldn't help but become worried. Sharp was also an old soldier and knew the situation when the Japanese army had control of the air. Standing still and waiting for reinforcements is actually a dead end. At this time, the correct strategy should be to take the initiative to break out. However, the remnants of the 61st Division and the 81st Division are not Xiao Anbao's cadet troops. If Xiao Anbao's troops are still here, then there are Taking the lead, they will definitely be able to break through the Japanese blockade. Thinking like this, the image of Xiao Anbao in his mind suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
When the sound of gunfire suddenly came from the Japanese position, Sharp had already returned to the frontline headquarters. Hearing the sound of gunfire, he was startled at first and thought that the Japanese army had launched an attack in the rain. Then he realized something was wrong and asked Ma Lunan: "Where is the shooting?" .”
Of course, Malunan couldn't give an answer, so the two men rushed out with a group of people from the headquarters and rushed to a small high ground on the left side of the headquarters. They did not see the Japanese but only found a column of smoke rising from the Japanese position. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted wildly: "Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived." Then, regardless of other people's expressions and reactions, he pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Give me the order to attack, and attack immediately."
Sharp had a good ability to seize opportunities. Regardless of whether reinforcements had arrived or not, it was indeed the best time to launch an attack. As the commander-in-chief, he led his guards and rushed to the front line without hesitation. This heroic move immediately infected the others. Therefore, the remaining troops of the 61st Division and the 81st Division rushed out of the barracks and positions, and launched a counterattack against the invading Japanese troops for the first time.
In the time and space before Ouyang Yun traveled through time, when the Japanese talked about the Fourth Division of Osaka, they called them the most useless division in the world. In addition, there was another saying that because there were members of the Fourth Division. existence, the Chinese army often bursts out with amazing fighting spirit, so it will lose the battles that it can obviously win. Therefore, many Japanese troops avoid the Fourth Division like snakes and scorpions, even if they fight alone, they are unwilling to join forces with the Fourth Division.
After trekking more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads, the trainees of the 14th Brigade were already exhausted and could not even hold their guns steady. However, just because their commander said that the one facing them was the Fourth Division, they immediately As if he had been on stimulants, he became lively and vigorous again. When Douglas saw this scene, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. He saw that the student's legs were weak just now and he suddenly jumped forward like a tiger. , he was dumbfounded and murmured at the same time: "It's crazy, it's really crazy, what kind of power is this? If all Chinese soldiers are like this, then which country in the world has the ability to defeat them. "
The Americans were shocked, but what about the Japanese soldiers of the Fourth Division and those Filipino puppet troops?
When the battle just started, the Japanese soldiers of the Fourth Division behaved quite well. However, when the unique camouflage uniforms and Wei Qing-style firearms of the Xuebing Army came into view, their fighting spirit collapsed almost instantly.
