The victory at Pingxing Pass could be said to be the first major victory in the war. Judging from the situation at that time, it was supposed to be a losing battle. However, under the command of Ye Biao and the others, this battle was fought quite beautifully. It was one of the few highlights in the history of the war.
When Lin Dong and the others were about 20 kilometers away, they could already hear the sound of gunfire. Everywhere they saw, there were only broken roofs and broken walls. There was not a single civilian, because those who could escape had already fled, and those who could not had already fallen to the ground.
Lin Dong and the others had appeared in the direction of the Chinese army's territory, and in front of them was the battle zone with the Japanese.
Countless soldiers weaved through the battlefield. The Chinese and Japanese strongholds changed hands several times, and the Chinese and Japanese sides fought back and forth.
Every stronghold had become a mill of flesh and blood, devouring the forces of both sides.
In a hidden mud house, a group of Chinese military bigwigs were gathered.
Commander Ye Biao's brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were filled with madness.
" Chief, Changchong, Lizipo, and Changfeng have been taken by the Japanese again. We can't hold Pingxing Pass anymore. We've already lost tens of thousands of people here. We can't go on like this, can we…" Deputy Commander Wushuang Nie suggested to Ye Biao hesitantly.
Ye Biao shook his head and knocked on the table. He said seriously,""We can't retreat. Call the 318th Artillery Regiment to go up and blow up all the Japanese in these strongholds. Not only do I want these four strongholds, but I also want to take down Bandeng Mountain, Datikou, and even Longwei Slope. We definitely can't let the Japanese take advantage of us in this battle!”
" But the enemy's attack is too strong. Our weapons are not as good as the Japanese's. We need to kill ten people to make up for one Japanese's life..." Wushuang Nie clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unwillingness.
"I don't want to hear about casualties, I just want to hear about the position. Pass on my order, 318th Artillery Regiment, bomb indiscriminately!”
At this moment, an operator suddenly shouted,""Warning, there's a frontline telegram!"
"Bring it up!" Wushuang Nie quickly took it and almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Ye Biao felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"The Japanese are driving their armored troops over! F * ck, it's two full regiments of Type A armored troops, equipped with 38 100mm howitzers, 68 75mm mountain cannons, and 120 37mm rapid-fire field cannons…This battle can't be fought anymore. Even if we use our lives to fill the gap, Pingxing Pass won't be able to hold on. Chief, give the order to retreat. We don't have to fight the Japanese here…"
Ye Biao clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble.
Retreat? How? Once they retreated, half of Shanxi would be given to the Japanese!
But if they didn't retreat, how could they defend this Pingxing Pass?
For a moment, Ye Biao was in a dilemma.
In the distance, in the hidden command center of the Japanese army, the highest commander of the Japanese army, Itagaki Seishiro, was calmly dispatching his subordinates to force their way through several openings.
"Humph, let's fight, let's fight again. Let's see what these Chinese people have to fight with our Great Japan Empire. Using human lives? No matter how much he consumes, I'll let him consume it. I'm definitely going to eat this flat pass! I'm also going to take Shanxi!"
Itagaki Shoushiro's words immediately caused a wave of flattery. The Japanese high-ranking officials looked at the map with smiles on their faces as they saw the Chinese army that had been forced into a corner. For them, it was only a matter of time before they destroyed this army.
Although the Chinese army still had the advantage in numbers, the difference in weapons was too great…
On the battlefield, the Japanese artillery was firing their cannons to their heart's content. The Chinese army was already retreating, and even if they hid in the trenches, they would not be able to avoid the danger of being killed. In this battle, all the Chinese people had lost all confidence…
The Chinese soldiers in the trenches all had ugly expressions on their faces. A tall general suddenly stood up and shouted,""Brothers, even if we retreat now, we will die. The enemy's artillery has already sealed off our retreat. Instead of being blown up by them, it is better to go deeper and die with them!”
"Yes, let's die together with them!"
"I'd rather die than become a slave to a subjugated country!"
"Brothers, kill…"
The remaining 100 Chinese soldiers were planning to rush out of the trenches and die with the enemy.
Suddenly, a tall warhorse whinnied as it flew over their heads. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at this ridiculously large, jade-like, snow-white, handsome horse. A general on the handsome horse held a long spear with a red tassel, and the scarlet cape behind him was extremely eye-catching!
Warhorses charged out one after another, charging at the arrogant Japanese soldiers without hesitation.
"Who are they?" All of the Chinese soldiers were stunned. They quickly climbed up the trench and looked in the direction where the warhorses had gone.
Everyone thought that they would definitely die if they charged forward like this. However, when they stuck their heads out to take a look, they realized that not a single knight had fallen under the dense barrage of bullets and artillery fire. Not a single warhorse had died!
These people were naturally Zhao Zhaoyun and his undead army. Although they only had 109 cavalry, their charge seemed to have the aura of a thousand troops!
"How dare a mere pirate act so presumptuously! Brothers, I want to kill them all!!!”
" Phew…" The illusion of the Undead Knights was instantly dispelled. Under the ice-blue cloak, the warriors and warhorses of the Forest of Bones attracted all eyes at this moment…
