Previously, after wiping out the Japanese artillery squadron, Lin Feng asked Gu Hai, Ma Tianxiang, and the others to collect the Japanese equipment. They said that they were destroying it, but in fact, they were all sold to the mall.
He didn't expect that selling items could also increase the VIP level of the mall. Not only could he buy high-level items with a higher level, but he could also get a discount.
Now that his VIP level had reached Level 4, a new batch of weapons had been unlocked in the mall. The 80mm Krupp Howitzer was one of them.
This howitzer had a barrel length of 1195 mm, a weight of 21.5 kg, and a maximum range of 4500 meters. It was twice as long as the Japanese Type 92 Infantry Cannon, but its weight was almost the same.
"How is it? Do you know how to use this cannon?" Lin Feng turned his head and asked.
Not only Old Hu, but the 20 soldiers behind him also knelt down in front of Lin Feng. They had seen a living person transform, but they had never seen a howitzer transform.
"Yes, yes…too good. In W-Han, our division only had two 75mm Krupp howitzers, one size smaller than this. During the battle at Wanjialing, I used that cannon and destroyed the Japanese's headquarters with one shot!”
Old Hu patted his chest proudly.
"Alright, take the binoculars and listen to my orders. Explode these Japanese with all your might!”
Lin Feng took out a pair of binoculars and handed it to Old Hu.
Old Hu looked at the brand-new German-made binoculars in Lin Feng's hands and quickly rubbed his hands on his pants before taking the binoculars. He was so happy that his mouth cracked to the back of his head.
Lin Feng left Seal Regiment #7 behind. As long as his men were around, he would be able to calculate the points for the Japanese that were blown up.
After arranging the artillery positions in the middle of the mountain, Lin Feng quickly met up with Ma Tianxiang outside the town and began to arrange the battle plan.
"According to the intelligence we got from the scouts, the Japanese have about three large groups of soldiers. They don't have any heavy weapons and have nearly 4000 people. They are all gathered at the ferry and the bridge to build fortifications. They should be planning to defend themselves after taking the bridge and wait for reinforcements!”
Ma Tianxiang held the captured map of the Japanese and pointed to a few locations.
"…We only have 325 people now. Brother Lin, how do you think we should fight?”
Ma Tianxiang and the other officers all looked at Lin Feng, unable to conceal the excitement in their hearts.
Lin Feng stared at the map and pondered for a moment. He pointed at the map and said," Newwall Town is an ancient town, and the roads are not wide. This is also why they have been unable to take down the bridge for so long…We will split our forces and block these three main streets, then…"
After hearing Lin Feng's battle plan, everyone's mouths were wide open in shock.
Lin Feng was planning to wipe out the entire Songdao United Team!
If it was a few hours ago, Ma Tianxiang would have thought that Lin Feng was crazy. He knew the combat ability of the Japanese's first-class troops. In Jinling, his 160th division had fought head-on with the Songdao United. Although they had withstood the Japanese's attack, more than half of his troops had suffered casualties.
But now, he only had 300 people, but he wanted to surround and annihilate a Japanese regiment. If Lin Feng had not done unbelievable things time and time again, he would have really thought that Lin Feng was a spy sent by the Japanese and sent them to their deaths.
"Brother Lin, we'll fight however you say. We'll listen to you!”
Gu Hai was the first to express his opinion. He now worshipped Lin Feng to the extreme. Even if Lin Feng wanted him to die, he would not say anything.
"You guys guard the central street of Newwall Town. Is there a problem?”
Lin Feng stared at Gu Hai and asked.
"Don't worry! Even if I die, I won't let the Japanese take half a step forward!”
Gu Hai patted his chest and expressed his determination.
He knew very well that the war was imminent, and morale was the most important thing. Otherwise, once the war started, they would be defeated. The defense line formed by the 300 people would be chewed up by the Japanese in an instant.
A few officers at the side looked at Ma Tianxiang. His eyes were fiery as he said,"Ever since the failure of the defense of Jinling, I haven't had a good night's sleep. Every time I think of the tens of thousands of compatriots who died under the Japanese's butcher knife, I hate myself. Why didn't I die in Jinling City? Today, we have the chance to face the bastards of the 13th Regiment. The remaining brothers of the 160th Regiment, even if we die…we will not retreat!”
"It is our lifelong wish to fight against the 13th Regiment again…Please give the order!”
All the officers around them stood upright like javelins.
Lin Feng looked around and said with a burning gaze,"Golden spears and iron horses are like tigers that swallow thousands of miles. To build thousands of years of meritorious service, to leave a name in history, a real man should be like this! Today is the day we become famous!”
The moment Lin Feng said this, everyone was in awe. It was as if a ball of fire was burning in their bodies.
……
"Brothers, this bridge is related to the lives of tens of thousands of our Xiang soldiers. Whether we can defend it or not depends on us!”
Feng Yongshou's face was black and grey as he roared with his blood-red eyes.
"Battalion Commander, our brothers 'homes are on the other side of the river. If the Japanese want to cross the river, they will have to step over our brothers' corpses!”
" That's right. His head fell off, and there's a bowl-sized scar…"
"Eighteen years later, I'm still a good man!”
Feng Yongshou looked at the bridgehead. There were only a hundred or so brothers left. Almost all of them were injured, but none of them showed a timid expression. They all stood straight and stared at him without blinking.
Xu Weizhi walked over and said in a desolate voice,""Old Feng, we don't have much ammunition left…I've ordered people to place explosives on the bridge! Are you really not planning to leave?"
"You can go! Even if I die, I will die on the north bank of the bridge!”
Feng Yongshou roared with his eyes wide open.
Xu Weizhi sighed softly and said to an officer beside him,""You take Second Company and Third Company and retreat to the south bank of the river.”
"Battalion Commander, you can't stay!"
the officer said anxiously.
"This is an order! Our Dian Army's Third Corps is still on the way to retreat. If we blow up the bridge, how can we face our hometown?”
Xu Weizhi said angrily.
" Then we won't leave either. We'll stay..." The officer was also unyielding and shouted with his neck straightened.
" Bullsh * t, if we all die here, the Japanese will rush across the river. What about the people on the other side of the river? Who will protect them…"
Before Xu Weizhi could finish his sentence, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side suddenly charged forward again.
Because the bluestone paved street was only a dozen meters wide, the large group of Japanese soldiers could not display their full strength. They could only use the tactic of taking turns to charge, trying to drag down the G Army.
It had only been a few hours since dawn, but the Japanese had already charged six or seven times.
Seeing the countless Japanese soldiers holding their bayonet and roaring ferociously at the bridge defense line again, Feng Yongshou took out a 20-gun box cannon and shouted,"Brothers…fix your bayonet and fight the Japanese!”
At this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp sound that tore through the air.
Wu---
He was all too familiar with this sound. It was the ear-piercing sound of cannonballs falling from the sky, like the hymn of the Grim Reaper.
"The Japanese have cannons!"
This news was no different from adding insult to injury. The reason why the Japanese hadn't occupied the bridge yet was largely because they didn't carry any heavy weapons. However, if the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the outcome was self-evident.
Boom!
The loud explosion of the artillery shell entered everyone's eardrums, causing the earth to tremble. The green-black stone pavement was blasted into pieces.
However, all the soldiers on the bridge were surprised to find that the shells had landed on the Japanese's position.
A bomb swept up more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, creating a cloud of blood mist.
"The Japanese's cannon actually missed?”
Feng Yongshou and Xu Weizhi looked at each other in disbelief.
