A cold saber air brushed over their necks.
"Crack, Kick!!"
The blood sprayed like a column, and the two watermelon heads rolled to the ground with a "plop".
Chapter 322 Li Hong's Sadness
, the fastest update to the latest chapter with a system to fight devils!
Li Hong's explosive power was truly terrifying. He swung his knife and even chopped off the heads of two devils.
Now his strength is really terrifying, the little devil's fight with Li Hong is like giving away his head.
The little devils around fell down one after another, and the number of devils decreased sharply.
After more than ten minutes, with the joint efforts of the security team and the Sichuan army, all the little devils were wiped out.
After the battle was won, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and cleared away those devils and wounded soldiers.
The battlefield was full of gunpowder smoke, and the flames of explosions were burning everywhere. There were piles of corpses on the ground, and most of these bloody corpses belonged to little devils.
After a tug-of-war, the two lines of defense outside the city were recovered and returned to the hands of the Chinese army.
If there were no security regiment reinforcements in the battle of Nanguan County, not only the defense line outside the city would be lost, but the defense line positions inside the city would also be lost.
After this battle, nearly 3000 casualties were suffered by the Devils, more than 4000 by the Sichuan Army, and less than 300 by the Security Corps.
Although Nanguan County was defended after hard work, Li Hong didn't feel lucky at this time.
The little devil temporarily lost the battle and failed to attack, but with the little devil's barbaric style, he may make a comeback at any time.
Nanguan County is a crucial strategic location and the only way to attack Xuzhou. It is absolutely impossible for the little devils to withdraw their troops. It is very likely that the Japanese army will continue to increase their troops to capture Nanguan County.
Subsequently, Li Hong deployed his troops outside the city, and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment and the Sichuan army re-fortified and built fortifications on the position.
Not long after, Peng Debiao took several officers to the front line to inspect the battlefield in person.
Peng Debiao held Li Hong in high regard, and he went to Li Hong specifically to thank him.
"I'm really grateful to Captain Li. Without the support of the security team, Nanguan County would have fallen into the hands of the devil." Peng Debiao bowed his hand to Li Hong and thanked Li Hong sincerely.
"Mr. Peng, you are serious. This is what I, Li Hong, and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment should do." Li Hong saluted and smiled slightly.
The two of them were chatting about the deployment of the defense line of the position, while patrolling the various positions on the front line.
On the way of inspecting the positions, Li Hong paid special attention to the weapons and equipment of the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army.
He had heard before how the Sichuan Army's weapons and equipment were so backward and poor, but now that Li Hong had seen the Sichuan Army's weapons and equipment with his own eyes, the real situation was far worse than he imagined.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ordnance and supplies of the Sichuan army are really not much better than the original security team.
Even if the Sichuan army's weapons are poor, the key ammunition is still very scarce. The ammunition that each soldier can use is only a few rounds. It is almost impossible to fire the bullets open.
After inspecting a position, Li Hong saw a soldier of the Sichuan Army tinkering with an old slide rifle.
Judging by the way the soldiers showed it, it seemed that they cherished it very much, like a treasure.
Li Hong walked up to the young soldier and said calmly, "Brother, show me your weapon."
"Yes, sir."
The Sichuan soldier handed the weapon in his hand to Li Hong.
Li Hong pulled the bolt a few times, looked at the magazine, and quickly disassembled some parts of this old-fashioned rifle.
The rifling of the firearm was worn out, the parts were damaged in many places, the bolt was extremely difficult to pull, and it was easy to jam.
Judging from the degree of wear and tear of this gun, it is estimated that this gun is older than the soldiers.
"Where are the bullets? I'll try the gun." Li Hong asked the young soldier.
The soldier was silent, just shook his head.
Seeing the helpless look on the soldier's face, Li Hong heaved a long sigh. Suddenly, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
Among the soldiers of the Sichuan army, it is lucky to have an old-fashioned rifle, mainly because there are no bullets. This is the real situation of the Sichuan army.
Then, Li Hong asked again about the soldiers' rations.
Among the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, most of them were yellow and emaciated, and their food bags were basically shriveled. The officers and soldiers basically only ate wild vegetable soup once a day, and black cornbreads that were as hard as stones.
Foods such as grain and rice are basically invisible, and only the wounded can eat them.
Just ask, without weapons and ammunition, without enough food supplements, how can they fight?
The Sichuan army fought against the Japanese invaders, they really fought with their lives, and they fought recklessly with their flesh and blood. This must be admired.
The Sichuan army does not have unified weapons and equipment, some soldiers are still using firecrackers, and even some reserve teams still use cold weapons.
Li Hong had seen the fighting power displayed by the Sichuan army. They were fearless on the battlefield, and their fighting power was not much worse than that of the Central Army.
The Sichuan army fought terribly, and many officers and soldiers were injured or injured. In the final analysis, it was a problem of weapons, equipment and logistics supplies.
Considering that the Sichuan army's weapons and equipment were backward, Li Hong immediately ordered all the captured weapons and equipment to be given to the Sichuan army.
As long as it is an anti-Japanese team, he will not be stingy again, and will definitely send a wave of weapons, equipment and supplies generously.
Li Hong not only gave all the things he seized to the Sichuan army, he also sent dozens of grenades and mortars, fifty boxes of canned meat, and a lot of medical drugs to support the Sichuan army.
These weapons and artillery are really nothing to the security regiment, but to the Sichuan army, they are simply a luxurious gift package of military weapons.
As long as this batch of weapons and equipment is available, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army will inevitably be greatly improved, and it will also reduce the casualties of many officers and soldiers.
Seeing Li Hong's generosity, Peng Debiao was immediately moved.
"Commander Li, for your generosity, Peng and the soldiers of the 53rd Army will always remember it."
Li Hong smiled disapprovingly: "Mr. Peng, it's just some weapons and supplies, don't take it to heart."
He was relieved a lot to be able to help the Sichuan army.
After inspecting the positions, Li Hong and Peng Debiao returned to Nanguan County, where they discussed how to defend against the next Japanese attack.
……
It is located in Wufu Town, 35 kilometers away from Nanguan County.
Wufu Town is the logistics base of the 37th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the station of the field hospital.
