To the north of Luodian, the temporary base of Zhongruiying.

In the battalion, Zhang Xinghan was wiping the iron sword given to him by Commander Peng Shan. In hand-to-hand combat, the power of the sword was much greater than that of the bayonet.

Moreover, in terms of stinging skills, the soldiers of the National Army were slightly inferior to the Japanese. This was caused by the long-term training of the Japanese army. The National Army was busy with civil war, lacking formal and effective training, and its physical backwardness.

So it is not a matter of one day or another to change this situation. The big sword has been one of the eighteen squadrons of the Chinese weapon list since ancient times. It is a weapon that the Chinese people are very familiar with. Since it is not possible to improve the situation where the enemy is better than us in the battle, why not use the big sword instead of the bayonet?

The big sword is simple to make, and almost everyone can equip the soldiers of the National Army. This will help the soldiers of the National Army gain advantages in hand-to-hand combat and kill the Japanese army more effectively.

Didn’t the 29th Army, which was born in the Northwest Army, cut off thousands of Japanese devils in the Battle of Xifengkou with its big blade?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan had an idea in his mind and had to find a way to get a batch of big swords. He was unable to take care of other troops, but at least all the officers and soldiers of the Zhongrui Battalion had to be able to use one sword. At that time, he would teach the sword skills of the 29th Army's big sword team to all the officers and soldiers of the bayonet. In this way, if they compete with the Japanese, the soldiers would not suffer too much.

Just as Zhang Xinghan was in deep thought, the radio station in the camp started to ring.

Zhang Xinghan stood up and walked forward quietly. He saw that the confidential officer Du Qianxue was receiving the translated message with all his attention.

Soon, Du Qianxue translated a complete message, took off her headphones and placed it on the table, picked up the message and turned around, stood up at the same time and said, "Camp, Nanjing call back."

"Oh!" Zhang Xinghan's eyes hurriedly passed over Du Qianxue's beautiful face, reached out to take the message and read it quickly, and immediately said, "It's great, so that all the soldiers of my Zhongrui Camp can be assured to kill the enemy without any worries." As he said that, Zhang Xinghan walked out with great strides.

He wanted to inform the entire battalion of the news and Luo Tianyou, who was worried about disobeying the military order.

……………………

Luodian, the position of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division of Xiaotang Village.

Since the last attack failed, the Japanese army mobilized more troops and launched another fierce attack on Luodian under the cover of tanks and cannons.

Under the command of the division commander Peng Shan and the leadership of the brigade commander Wang Yan, the officers and soldiers of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division fought desperately with the Japanese aggressors and vowed to resist to the death. The entire Luodian Town was surrounded by deafening shouts and explosions. In addition to the 10th Brigade that had just begun, the Japanese 11th Division also added a large force of the 22nd Infantry Brigade and two combat chariot squadrons to launch a full-scale attack on the national military positions in the Luodian area.

In addition to Peng Shan's 11th Division, Li Shusen's 67th Division, in Zhenbei, there are also the 98th Division and the 14th Division that have just retreated from Baoshan.

The four divisions of the National Army fought fiercely in the 11th Division of the Japanese Army centered on Luodian, and the 3rd Division fought fiercely.

Luodian Town South, the 62nd Regiment of the 31st Brigade.

Yu Ziwen, the colonel leader of the 62nd Regiment, was calling the First Battalion of the Frontline to inquire about the situation of the frontline. More than half an hour ago, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops again to launch an attack on the First Battalion of the 62nd Regiment under the cover of tanks and aircraft.

Half an hour has passed since the fierce battle, and the sound of gunfire in the direction of the first battalion has gradually weakened, but the telephone number between the regiment headquarters and the first battalion cannot be reached.

"Hey! Hey! One battalion, one battalion? I'm so kind, please reply when I hear it!" Colonel Yu Ziwen kept calling loudly with the microphone.

But there was no response on the other end of the phone. Yu Ziwen slammed the phone and turned his head and said sternly: "Communication Soldier!"

"Yes!" A burly correspondent responded.

"Run me immediately to the first camp position, check the situation, and order them to stick to me no matter what, and not give up any inch of land!" Yu Ziwen ordered angrily.

"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately accepted the order and immediately left quickly.

……………………

On the first camp, the smoke of gunpowder had not dissipated, and the entire position was full of broken limbs and broken arms, full of pungent smell of blood, and the clouds in the sky were very low.

On the last line of defense in the position, a captain company commander roared and fired wildly at the attacking Japanese.

In the trenches beside the captain's company commander, dozens of wounded soldiers also opened fire wildly. These soldiers were already in a state of madness. Too many comrades and brothers were blown to pieces by the Japanese shells in front of them, and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere. Too many brothers became heroic in the hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese.

At this time, they had only one thought in their minds, that is, to take revenge, kill as many Japanese devils as possible, and avenge their dead comrades.

The left eye of the captain's company commander was already covered with blood, and a thin piece of gauze had already been soaked in blood and turned into a piece of blood. A thick layer of shells had been piled up at the foot of the captain's company commander.

In front of them were full of Japanese corpses. The entire battlefield was full of dead bodies like Shura hell, and some small craters were filled with blood that had turned a little black.

From time to time, some fireballs passed through the sky, which were the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers. The grenades immediately exploded when they fell, causing a scarlet flame and thick smoke.

Gradually, the gunshots and the roars of the soldiers slowly stopped, and the Japanese attack was repelled again.

A soldier with a big sword on his back crawled towards the captain's company commander, "Company Commander, we have thirty-two brothers left, and the first platoon commander is also killed. Let's retreat. If you continue to fight, the entire battalion will be over."

"Can't retreat! Do you still remember the last words before your death?" the captain immediately opposed.

"Remember, the battalion commanded us that we must not retreat without the orders of the regiment headquarters. We must fight to the last battle and defend the position." The soldier said with a silence, "But..."

"Nothing is true! We are soldiers, and we must never retreat without orders! At most, we can kill ourselves and serve the country!" The captain said decisively.

At this moment, a rapid bombardment sounded again in the sky. The captain company commander immediately threw the soldiers to the ground and said sternly: "Lying down, everyone is hidden!"

"Boom!" The Japanese volley shots suddenly fell down in the first round, and suddenly exploded violently. The violent shock wave exploded into a big pit.

The entire position was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and the violent explosion caused a violent sensation in the entire position. The captain's company commander only felt the land under him shaking for a moment.

During the artillery fire, the communication soldier sent by Yu Ziwen ran towards the position with his waist and braved the Japanese's dense artillery fire.

"Is there anyone from the first battalion? Is there anyone alive? The first battalion!" The communication soldier looked at the tragic battlefield in front of him and shouted loudly.

Amid the rumbling cannons, the captain company commander slowly raised his head and saw the communications soldiers rushing towards him from afar. Seeing that there were shells falling from time to time and exploded not far beside him, the captain company commander hurriedly scolded: "Let's go down, damn, go down!"

However, the captain's company commander's voice was covered by the deafening sound of artillery, and the artillery soldier could not hear his prompt at all and was still running forward.

When he was about seventy or eighty meters away from the captain's company commander, he found the captain's company commander and immediately ran quickly towards this side with joy.

"Damn it, lie down and don't run around!" The captain company commander roared quickly when he saw this. At this moment, "其!" A sharp whistle sounded and a shell fell directly behind the communications officer.

The huge shock wave immediately exploded the running communications soldier. The captain company commander could clearly see that the lower half of the communications soldier was empty, and the entire upper half was blown out more than ten meters away.

"Ah!" The captain company commander roared, got up and rushed out, heading straight for the correspondent soldier.

The Japanese shelling continued, and from time to time, shells fell and exploded. The captain rushed forward desperately, and miraculously rushed across the line of fire and rushed to the injured communication soldier.

When he helped the communication soldier up half of his body, he found that the communication soldier was dying. His lower half of his body was directly blown to pieces from his thighs, and the blood had dyed the land under him red.

The communication soldier looked at the captain weakly and said, "Where is your battalion commander?"

"The battalion commander has died. Now I am the highest military commander here." The captain company commander replied hurriedly.

"The regiment, the regiment has a command, and I ordered you to hold your position. No, no orders are allowed to retreat..." The communication soldier finished speaking intermittently, and after he finished speaking, he tilted his head and died.

"Brother?" the captain company commander hurriedly.

"I have less than half a company left under my command, why don't the regiment send reinforcements? Ah?" the captain company commander shook the body of the communications soldier and said loudly.

Soon, the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, and the shouts of the Japanese attacking troops sounded again in front of them. The captain company commander gently lowered the body of the communications soldier, turned around and returned to the position, but found that the soldier who had advised him to retreat had been killed.

A shell landed near him, frying him into blood and blood, his entire back was completely blurred, and he couldn't find a piece of good meat.

The only thing that was complete was the blood-soaked sword on his back. The captain company commander walked over and untied the sword on his body, and suddenly stood up and stared at the Japanese who were rushing towards him in groups again.

He shouted: "Brothers! Get the bayonet! Fight with them!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!" Dozens of remaining soldiers responded in unison, and followed the captain's company commander out of the trench with guns. The captain's company commander held the bloody sword in both hands and rushed forward with a roar.
