When these fires were lit, the officers and soldiers of the various departments attacking at the front had already noticed that they were all veterans of a hundred battles and had a lot of experience, and the Japanese army lit these bonfires at the front of the position for lighting and heating, and they would not waste their energy to do some useless things, so there were only two possibilities for these bonfires. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Commanding the artillery and directing the air force to carry out air raids, it was already winter, and the visibility was extremely low in the dark night, so it was naturally extremely weak to carry out bombing, but what about these bonfires in the dark night, didn't they delineate the bombing range?

After realizing this, Li Jian suddenly ordered: "Order to go down, and light a bonfire on our position, and all soldiers must be within the range of the bonfire!" ”

"Yes!"

"Quickly convey the news to the army commander, and let them quickly prepare for the arrival of the Japanese plane!" Li Jian said urgently.

"Yes!"

......

"Commander, news from the front, the Japanese army lit a bonfire at the front of the position, and it seems that the air force is going to be summoned to launch a night air attack, Li Jian means to quickly convey this news to the whole army and light a bonfire on his own position to confuse the sight of the Japanese army!" Xiao Benyuan said.

"This method is good, immediately send an order, let them follow suit!"

"Yes!"

After the order was given, the soldiers of each unit also took out the wooden sticks and some flammable things from the ruins, and lit piles of bonfires on their own positions, and the whole battlefield was illuminated as if it were daylight.

"Tell the artillery to bombard these exposed Japanese bonfires!" Li Jian ordered.

After the order was issued, the soldiers of all units also bombarded the Japanese position, and under the heavy and light artillery fire, the Japanese campfire was blown up, but when these Japanese soldiers reacted, it was too late, and the roar of Japanese fighters had already sounded in the sky.

At this moment, heavy aerial bombs flew towards the positions where the Japanese troops were fired, and in the roar, these Japanese soldiers were directly bombed by their own people.

What is even more serious is that in order to enhance the lethal effect, the Japanese army used a large number of anti-personnel aerial bombs that had already burned incendiary aerial bombs, and all of a sudden the Japanese army's position not only exploded and roared, earth and rocks flew wildly, but also a mass of intense heat burned on the Japanese army's position, and even if some Japanese soldiers were not killed, they were ignited by the flames and rolled on the ground with a scream.

The planes that were supposed to bomb our army turned to bomb themselves, and directly caused huge losses to the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese front gradually became chaotic, but this was only partial, after all, Li Jian and they only extinguished the fire in the forward positions of the Japanese army, but the help of the Japanese army was also indispensable, after all, Li Jian They paid a heavy price for attacking the front, and the two sides were still in a stalemate, so that the forward positions of the Japanese army were full of loopholes and became precarious.

The Japanese bombardment lasted for ten minutes before it ended, that is, in these ten minutes, the forward positions of the Japanese army were directly subjected to heavy bombardment and machine gun fire, with heavy casualties, and the most important thing is that the key points were ignited by the bombing and fire, and the entire defense line almost collapsed!

Just as the Japanese planes were leaving, Li Jian categorically ordered: "Order to go down, the whole army will attack!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers in the field were overjoyed, just as these Japanese planes had just withdrawn, but a series of shouts of killing sounded on the ground again, and the soldiers of various units launched a fierce charge along the gap in the Japanese position, and some of the Japanese soldiers who survived the resistance were killed in the sound of gunfire, and the rest hurriedly began to retreat!

The front retreated, the back was attacked, the Japanese defense line gradually began to waver, and with the breakthrough of the front line, the resistance of the rest of the defense line also became loose, the 28th Army, the 30th Regiment attacked the direction of the Japanese army also began to retreat, the two regiments immediately began to pursue, and the Japanese front became extremely chaotic!

At this time, Li Fan also tore apart the three lines of defense of the Japanese army, and was in the core of the rear position of the Japanese army, but to Li Fan's surprise, the Japanese army's counterattack was not launched soon but began to break through to the side, seeing this, Li Fan finally understood that the Japanese army finally couldn't resist, they were going to retreat, and the outcome of this bloody battle would soon be known!

"Order the troops to suspend the total and stand by on the side!" Li Fan said.

"Why? Now that the Japanese army is retreating, wouldn't it be better for us to take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Yang Decai was puzzled.

"The strength of one of our battalions can block the retreat of the Japanese army with more than a wing, and we can't stop the first wave of charge!" Li Fan said.

"And then we watched them flee from us?" Yang Decai said angrily.

"Of course not, we have to divide and block part of the Japanese army from encircling and annihilating to expand the results of the battle!"

"You take people to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army, it is best to stop one or two of their brigades and then cooperate with the large army to encircle and annihilate them"!

"Yes"!

......

"Order down, the 29th Regiment quickly withdraw from the defensive line to prevent them from being flanked by the Japanese!" Lu Daoyuan ordered.

"Yes!"

"Order, the whole regiment quickly retreated to the east side of the city and prepared to flank the retreating Japanese troops!" Wei Peicang, who received the order, ordered.

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, all the units retreated, directly giving way for the Japanese army to retreat, and the Japanese troops who came to the aid did not attack, but consolidated and found in the area of the east gate trying to cover the retreat of the large army.

Soon the retreating troops of the Japanese army had already appeared in Li Fan's eyes, and Li Fan resolutely ordered: "Stabilize it for me, and attack when there is still one brigade left in the Japanese army!" ”

"Yes!"

The Japanese army did not encounter any resistance on the way to retreat, and it was smooth, but it was not unmistakable that they were chased and killed by the main force of the Yunnan army in the back, and many Japanese soldiers were shot and fell down in the sound of gunfire.

When the retreating Japanese army had already reached the East Gate area, Li Fan categorically ordered: "Order down, open fire, and divide the Japanese army!" ”

"Yes"!

After the order was issued, the various units attacked one after another, and the attack was fiercely launched in the diagonal stabs, and the guns rang out in unison, and the retreating street alone was subjected to heavy fire from seven or eight light machine guns, and the first shot directly caused dozens of Japanese casualties, and similarly, the rest of the positions were also attacked and shelled!

Behind was the main force of the four regiments, and the Japanese army couldn't care so much in a panic, so they had to continue to charge, and the troops who rushed out even forgot to rescue the troops behind, so Li Fan and they didn't pay too much to establish a direction on the Japanese position, and surrounded the Japanese army with a large group or so.

"Order down, the twenty-eighth regiment and the thirty-third regiment will advance in a roundabout way and continue the pursuit, and the thirty-first regiment, thirty-second regiment, and thirty-third regiment will launch an encirclement and annihilation!" Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said.

"Yes"!

Just when these Japanese soldiers who rushed out finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wei Peicang also resolutely ordered: "Attack!" ”

After the order was issued, all units launched attacks one after another, shells launched a fierce attack on the Japanese crowd, machine guns and rifle grenades greeted the Japanese crowd, and the 29th Regiment was relatively complete, so the momentum caused by this was not comparable to Li Fan's battalion, under a round of attacks, the Japanese army had three more squadrons of Japanese troops were divided, and at the same time, the Japanese troops quickly launched a counterattack, trying to rescue the encircled Japanese troops.

At this moment, the darkness in the distance suddenly sounded a dream, the two heavy artillery battalions of the 58th Army, and the two hillside battalions also fired fiercely at the Japanese army, and the Japanese rescue force was subjected to fierce bombardment as soon as they turned back, and the casualties were extremely heavy for a while.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the encircled Japanese brigade had been crippled, and the 30th and 28th regiments continued to pursue, and under such an offensive, the Japanese had to retreat quickly.

In order to prevent pursuit, the retreating Japanese troops actually used the few remaining poison gas bombs to blockade to avoid the pursuit of the troops.

However, the remnants of the Japanese army did not withdraw after the 3,000 people, but there were still three squadrons of Japanese troops inside were violently surrounded and annihilated, although these Japanese troops resisted extremely fiercely, but under the fierce bombardment of mortars with numerical superiority, these resistances were gradually weakened until the various departments launched the final general attack, and the remaining dozens of Japanese troops committed suicide by disembowelment, and this bloody battle of Changde finally came to an end.

"Hey! I'm Lu Daoyuan, taking over the Ninth Theater Command! ”

After a while, General Xue Yue's voice came out: "I'm Xue Yue!" ”

"Chief Xue, our army has recovered Changde, the remnants of the Japanese army are retreating in a hurry with less than 3,000, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers are too tired to pursue!" Lu Daoyuan said.

"Great, I will personally ask for credit for you on behalf of the Ninth War Zone, and I will also report these achievements to the chairman, this is the glory of the 58th Army and the glory of the people of Yunnan!" Xue Yue said overjoyed.

"Thank you, Chief Xue, our department is still counting the casualties and asking the train to transport the wounded soldiers!"

"You can rest assured that everything will be put in place for us immediately!"

"Chief Xie Xue!"

Putting down the phone, Lu Daoyuan said: "The military department has been transferred to Changde!" ”

"Yes!"

The battle has ended, and the various units are also cleaning up the battlefield and counting the casualties, and this inventory really counted some things, more than 80 Japanese wounded soldiers, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition.

At this time, Li Fan was not interested in picking up the loot at all, he directly led his troops to the East Gate area to search, even if Lu Hai died, he would bring the body back.

However, Lu Hai and some soldiers in the east of the city were also a little dazed, and the entire eastern part of the city was full of corpses and ruins, some of which were even buried in the ruins, and there were broken limbs and flesh everywhere, and there was no way to start.

"What should I do?" Yang Decai asked.

"Dig three feet into the ground and find out, I'm going to take him back!" Li Fan clenched his fists and said.

"Yes"! (To be continued.) )
