Chapter 564: Combat Engineers

"Go up! Pull out that stronghold for me!"

Xiao Wu, the captain of the engineer brigade wearing the golden major general's epaulette, said with a cold face.

Many people have always criticized Xiao Wu for his promotion speed so quickly that he jumped into becoming a general in a short period of time.

Indeed, engineers in the army have never been particularly prominent. What they do is not the kind of troops that destroy cities and villages and swallow thousands of miles of tigers, but always complete the most difficult but not outstanding things at the most difficult times.

That's all.

But Zheng Yong was still persistent in excluding all oppositions. Almost every battle, he would commend Xiao Wu and his engineers' troops for promotion. In this way, the engineers' troops gradually developed into the engineering brigade, and Xiao Wu was promoted step by step to major general.

This time, the 91st mixed brigade of the Island Army was attacked, and the engineer brigade was quickly transferred to the war zone and started fighting as soon as possible.

What they face is the Morita United team of the Ninety-One Mixed Brigade.

It has to be admitted that the island army has a very good set of fortifications. The fortifications built on the spot are constructed using all the favorable terrain nearby, and the firepower of each light and dark are properly equipped, which has caused the attacking troops to suffer several setbacks in succession.

The task that must be completed in front of the blasting engineers now is to open up a bloody road for the charge troops at all costs.

Xiao Wu, who was personally on the front line, made the engineer brothers feel heavy pressure.

"Go! Go! Go and another group of people!"

A captain's voice kept ringing in the soldiers' ears, urging the engineer brothers.

Another group of people rushed up, but then the island army's crazy firepower defeated the soldiers again. The captain was a little anxious. The captain was supervising himself behind him. If he couldn't take it down, no one had the face to see the captain.

He took off his military uniform on his upper body, picked up the blasting equipment himself, and shouted loudly at the back.

"Machine gun cover!"

The two machine guns roared wildly, temporarily suppressing the firepower of the Island Army. The captain rushed forward quickly, and the machine gun of the Island Army fired again. The captain lay down as soon as possible, and the machine gun bullets splashed in front of him.

The captain crawled a few steps and gradually approached the enemy's stronghold.

The roar of the machine gun became more and more crazy...

Xiao Wu, who was supervising the battle behind the scenes, suddenly saw a figure standing up and rushing forward desperately in the fierce rain of bullets. Then he saw that the figure finally rushed to the enemy's position.

Soon, an explosion began and a big hole was blown up in front of the enemy's position.

But the captain never came back...

"Continue!" Xiao Wu's heart tightened for a moment, but he still said expressionlessly.

No one felt more distressed than Xiao Wu. The figure who knew that figure was his cousin, who was taken to the army and into the engineering brigade, and gradually climbed from a soldier to a captain, and made many achievements.

Xiao Lu was dead. When his uncle and aunt handed over his precious son to him, patted his chest and agreed to them, and would take good care of his cousin no matter what.

But now, how do you face your uncle and aunt?

He sighed softly and raised his telescope again...

"Captain, the command I just received from the military headquarters. An infantry brigade of the Island Army is moving here, trying to rescue the besieged enemy. The military headquarters ordered that our combat engineers immediately build fortifications on the spot to block this island army and buy time for the complete annihilation of the 91st Infantry Mixed Brigade!"

"I understand." Xiao Wu responded lightly, then shouted coldly: "Qi Hong!"

"Come!" The young regiment commander Qi Hong responded loudly and walked over.

Xiao Wu glanced at him: "Take your troops and hold the islanders tightly! Don't let an islander come over!"

"Yes, I won't let an islander come here!" Qi Hong said loudly with great enthusiasm.

Engineers can fight as well, and none of the engineer brothers are cowards.

The Takata Infantry Brigade did not look down on the troops opposite him. According to investigations, some engineers in the Chinese army temporarily built fortifications in an attempt to stop themselves from advancing.

Takada Jinzo believed that the Chinese army could fight, but it was ridiculous to try to use an engineer unit to block his advancement.

I am an elite unit in the Imperial Army, and no one can stop me from moving forward!

But the subsequent progress of the battle situation was much beyond Takada Jinzo's expectations.

The Chinese soldiers fought very tenaciously, not inferior to any troops at all. Their firepower, good marksmanship and well-trained were for an entire hour, forcing the Takada Infantry Brigade to make no progress.

Takada Jinzo became a little impatient.

The order I received was to get closer to the 91st Infantry Brigade today and launch an attack on the Chinese army at the same time to resolve the siege of the 91st Infantry Brigade as soon as possible.

But now, I was dragged here by a unit of engineers...

"Hunoguchi!" Takada Jinsan shouted.

"exist!"

"Take your troops and rush over, you must break through the Chinese snipers. Noguchi Hanori, remember you are a soldier of the empire, remember you are a warrior of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations. Long live the Emperor!"

Noguchi Huan pulled out his command knife with murderous aura and roared with hissing: "Soldiers, follow me to charge, the great god Rizhao will protect you, long live the Emperor!"

A squadron of island soldiers pressed up against the hysterical cry of Noguchi Kasumi.

The planes of the island army also appeared over the battlefield at the right time, bombing the positions defended by the Chinese engineers, trying to completely destroy the unit's determination psychologically.

"The devils are coming up, brothers, I will resist it. I made a military order in front of the captain. If I lose the position, the captain will use my head as a chamber pot. I don't want to die yet!"

Qi Hong's voice sounded on the position, but then a sound came with gunfire.

"Team, your head is so small, it's not enough for the captain to urinate at night. Don't be too sentimental!"

A burst of laughter broke out from the position, and Qi Hong looked over. It was Xiang Zhanbo, the leader of his battalion, who was under his command. He smiled and cursed: "You Xiang Zhanbo, you are just fucking unethical. If the position cannot be defended, I will use your head as a chamber pot first!"

They were not afraid at all. Neither the charge of the Japanese on the ground or the bombing of planes in the sky, they could not stop their determination to fight the Japanese pirates to the end!

"The ranks, the Japanese are coming from the west!"

A voice interrupted Qi Hong's words, and he said angrily: "Where are the people on the western position?"

"A platoon of brothers was killed, all killed!"

"Fuck!" Qi Hong cursed loudly.

The positions in the west cannot be thrown into the hands of the Japanese, otherwise their flanks will be attacked by the Japanese.

Qi Hong took off his military uniform and threw it hard on the ground: "All the young officers and guards are here for me!"

Dozens of low-level officers stood up one after another, and a large number of soldiers who were not the Young Officers' Guards' Order...

Qi Hong is a standard guardian officer, and he is one of the seventeen executive members of the Young Officer Guardian Order. In any case, he cannot let the Young Officer Guardian Order be embarrassed here!

"Xiang Zhanbo, you are here to take over the command. You and I will take back the position!" Qi Hong's voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "You are all from the Young Officers and Guards. The commander takes the lead in charge. If you don't win, you'd rather die!"

"If you don't win, you'd rather die!"

More than a hundred officers and soldiers shouted like this together.

After rushing up, Qi Hong, the lieutenant colonel leader of the combat engineering regiment, took the lead in rushing up. They were not the main force of the army, but at this time all the officers and soldiers fought with the enemy like the real main force.

Like an angry tiger, Qi Hong stabbed two Japanese soldiers one after another with the bayonet in his hand.

At this time, he saw a Japanese man rushing up with a commanding knife fiercely.

Qi Hong's bayonet was still in the body of the Japanese who were stabbed to death by him. He let go and avoided the Japanese's knife. He accidentally tripped his feet and fell to the ground.

Beside him was a corpse of his own. Qi Hong reached out and touched it, took out the iron reward from the soldier's corpse, and tried his best to block it. The sword that the Japanese fell down happened to fall on the iron reward, bursting out scattered sparks.

Noguchi's arm was numb. He had some regrets that he almost could kill the Chinese officer.

He saw the Chinese officer climbing up again and smashing him hard with iron reward. Noguchi Huan hurriedly raised his command knife like the Chinese officer.

There was another loud bang, and Noguchi stumbled and took two steps back.

The command knife in his hand had been broken into two pieces, and what made Noguchi Huan the most despair was that he saw a layer of blood in front of him.

This iron reward not only cut his command knife into two pieces, but also fell accurately on his head.

When he saw the iron reward fall down again, Noguchi Hanori tried his best to hide, but it was too late.

One and two strokes, the iron reward fell one after another. When it finally stopped, Noguchi Huan's head was already smashed to pieces, and he could not tell the original appearance at all.

Qi Hong spat hard at the corpse on the ground.

He looked at the position and the brothers he brought had gradually controlled the situation of the battle and drove the enemies who rushed to the position again.

He smiled arrogantly. Who said that engineers can only pave roads and bridges? His engineer brothers can also fight!

In other words, those colleagues are more lucky. If they are assigned to the main force, they might be the brigade commander division commander now.

"The team leader called and asked how our situation is here."

"Tell the captain that the position is still firmly in my hands, and no inch is thrown to the Japanese!" After wiping the sweat on his head, Qi Hong put his hips on his hips and gasped for a few times, and said.
Chapter completed!
