Chapter 212: Scorching Changsha
"What happened to the troops on the periphery"? Xue Yue said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The 58th Army is still thirty kilometers away from Changsha, and it was blocked by a wing of the Japanese army, and it was fighting hard, and the same was true of the 20th Army, and their two troops were already the fastest marching." Wu Yizhi said.
"Inform them, don't entangle with the enemy, move closer to Changsha at all costs, as long as an army arrives in advance, we will win this battle"! Xue Yue said.
"Yes"!
......
The night shrouded the ruins of Changsha City, as well as the high Yuelu Mountains, and the raging fires burned in many parts of the city, as if to tell us that this was only a temporary tranquility and that war was coming soon.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, after Peng Zhonghua, director of the Eighth Route Army's office in Hunan Province, completed the task of transferring the people, he decided to go to Yuelu Mountain on a starry night and let Xue Yue assign them tasks.
"Director, do you think we will win this battle?" A young soldier of the Eighth Route Army said.
"The brothers of the 10th Army have been holding back the Japanese army for two whole days, which was unthinkable before, but the 10th Army has not done it yet, and I believe that this battle must belong to us"! Peng Zhonghua said.
Peng Zhonghua took a breath and said: "The front is General Xue's headquarters, and the central government tells us to do our best to help General Xue, brothers work hard."
"Yes"!
Just as everyone was climbing, a group of uninvited guests also arrived in the jungle of Yuelu Mountain, this is a Japanese army's team, there are as many as sixty or seventy people, at this time they also climbed to the top of the mountain by night!
"Kobayashi-kun, if we can blow up this heavy artillery position of the Chinese army this time, we will definitely be rewarded by the headquarters, and maybe we will even be received by His Majesty the Emperor." A Japanese soldier Cao said.
"Yes, this heavy artillery position is the biggest obstacle to our offensive this time, once we blow them up we win." The squad leader named Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Report, there is a situation ahead". A Japanese soldier ran over and spoke.
Several people hurriedly ran over, but found that the so-called discovery was a black telephone line buried in the forest, and these soldiers looked for more telephone lines, the Japanese army is not stupid, so many telephone lines lead to the top of the mountain, indicating that there is another command on the top of the mountain, and so many wires, indicating that this command is very important, especially the army that listened to the Chinese telegraph also knows that Xue Yue is on the front line, but he doesn't know the specific location!
With so many telephone lines, it is very likely that Xue Yue is on Yuelu Mountain, and Xue Yue is more important than bombing the headquarters of a Japanese army, and this credit is a great credit!
Kobayashi Juncao suddenly said in ecstasy: "Follow the phone line and search upwards"!
"Yes"!
These Japanese soldiers began to search upward, and soon found that there was a cave in a col in front of them, and there were several soldiers stationed outside.
Xiaolin Juncao's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he ordered: "See, this is definitely the command of the Chinese army, and if we fight it, we will be of infinite use in this life"!
"Yes"!
The Japanese army began to approach Xue Yue's headquarters, but fate was always so coincidental, just when they were more than a hundred meters away from Xue Yue's headquarters, a team of more than thirty people also appeared in the forest on the side!
It was Peng Zhonghua and their Eighth Route Army!
"Director, there are devils"! A soldier hurriedly came up and reported.
"You see clearly, this is Yuelu Mountain"? Peng Zhonghua's face changed dramatically.
"Clearly, there are quite a few people"!
"Oh no, the Japanese have touched it, Chief Xue is in danger, and I ordered to take the initiative to approach this group of Japanese soldiers to attack them"! Peng Zhonghua said.
"But the director of our firepower is insufficient, and the number of Japanese troops is several times that of us"! A soldier hurried.
"What do you know, Chief Xue's safety is related to the situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War, even if we all die today, as long as Chief Xue is safe, it is worth it, as soon as the gunshots go off, Chief Xue will find out, they will take precautions, and the Japanese army's plan will be ruined"!
"Pass my orders and beat these devils"!
"Yes"!
Everyone quickly moved closer to the direction where the Japanese army was, Peng Zhonghua pulled out his hand and loaded it violently and led everyone to move quickly to the side, and sure enough, he found that there were Japanese troops marching in the darkness of more than 20 meters!
"Hit"!
As soon as the words fell, everyone opened fire in unison, although the equipment was simple and the firepower was insufficient, but everyone still did not hesitate to shoot at the Japanese troops in the mountains and forests!
Caught off guard, six or seven Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground in an instant, and Kobayashi-kun, who was hiding behind a tree, knew that he was exposed, and resolutely ordered: "Pass the order, attack on the whole front, you must capture the command headquarters and kill Xue Yue"!
"Yes"!
Since the Japanese army is exposed, they will naturally not hide it, and their firepower is several times that of the Eighth Route Army, under the fierce firepower, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army soon exceeded ten people, and it is difficult to be suppressed by the fierce fire of the Japanese army!
"Chief Xue is not good, the Japanese army may have touched it"! Wu Yizhi said urgently.
"I know, as soon as I heard it, it was the Japanese army's 38 big cover, with a strength of about a small team, and it was Peng Zhonghua who exchanged fire with them"! Xue Yue said calmly.
"How do you know"? Wu Yizhi said curiously.
"I can't hear the sound of those broken guns on the eighth road? Send a battalion of spies out to annihilate them"! Xue Yue said with a smile.
"Yes"!
Just when Peng Zhonghua sacrificed six or seven more people, and Peng Zhonghua's bullets were finished, in the woods on both sides, Xue Yue's guards suddenly appeared, and they all had Bobosha submachine guns in their hands, and the fierce firepower was like a violent storm and quickly roared towards the surrounded Japanese army!
Under such fierce fire and being attacked from all sides, a small squad of the Japanese army was completely annihilated after holding out for less than ten minutes!
This battle is thrilling, the Japanese attack force is insufficient, but if Peng Zhonghua does not find out in time, it is very likely to be caught off guard by the Japanese brother, so it is not impossible to be terminated from the command, but they will naturally declare defeat if they expose it, after all, Xue Yue still has a special battalion in his hand!
In the direction of the 58th Army, although Xue Yueyi was urging with the order, the attacking troops still could not withdraw, and the Japanese army also knew the intentions of our army, and also set up many roadblocks in the direction of Changsha, and if they wanted to get close to Changsha, they had to fight over!
Three hours ago, the 58th Army attacked the Japanese defense line on the whole line, trying to tear a hole, but the Japanese army occupied a great advantage in the terrain, and the attack only broke through the Japanese army's first-line position for three hours, and the Japanese counterattack also came very quickly, and the ammunition flying down from the almost vertical high slope has been pouring wildly on our army's position.
The casualties are still expanding, the mountains and forests are also burning under round after round of shelling, the charge has been fired by the Japanese army again and again, and the attack continues!
"Commander, the losses of our troops are expanding, this group of Japanese troops relies on the mountains to form a defensive line, and they know in advance that we will definitely pass by here, and it is not cost-effective for us to break through from here"!
"The more we spend a while here, the more dangerous it will be to occupy the front, once the hearth is penetrated by the Japanese army, you know what it is, at all costs, even if there is a division in front of us, we will crash into it!" Sun Du slammed the table and said.
"How many gas bombs were sent by the 60th Army last time"? Sun Du said.
"And 500 more". Liu Zhengfu said.
"Order the artillery to hit me with all these poison gas bombs, and the soldiers in gas masks will form a commando team to assault in all directions, no matter what method you use, you must break through the Japanese defense line before dawn, if anyone dares to fight and not advance, Lao Tzu will personally kill him"! Sun Du said murderously.
"Yes!"
"Luhai, do they have any news"? Sun Du said.
"They reported to us that the main positions of the Japanese army were not heard."
"Keep an eye on the radio and report back as soon as there is news"!
"Yes"!
A moment later, the artillery of the 58th Army opened fire again, and one after another gas bombs flew towards the Japanese position, and these highly toxic things produced by the Japanese army should also give them a taste!
The Japanese army never thought that they had not yet launched poison gas bombs, and the Chinese army on the opposite side actually released poison gas bombs on their own initiative!
Caught off guard, many Japanese troops did not have time to put on gas masks and began to retreat, and in such a situation, all departments and lines formed assault teams with gas masks and began to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese positions!
At this time, all the artillery of the 58th Army began to bombard the Japanese forward positions violently, and just as the shelling began to extend, many soldiers pulled grenades and threw them in, and then a pair of soldiers began to assault the Japanese trenches!
Just when the two armies were fighting hard, a Japanese squad appeared in the middle of the defensive line, and it was Lu Hai and Haizhi who were treating them!
If you want to pass through here quickly, the best way is nothing more than to end the command system of the Japanese army, and once the Japanese command is chaotic, there will be a chance to take advantage of it!
"These dark mountains are so big, it's hard to find, where do you think the little devil's headquarters should be"? Haizhiji said.
"Find the phone line, follow the direction of the phone line"! Lu Hai said.
Everyone searched again, and after a while, Haizhiji finally found a telephone line under a tree, and then launched a search, and it took a long time to find a Japanese wing command post!
Although the Japanese brigade command post was not found, it was enough to destroy a Japanese wing command post to make the Japanese command system go wrong!
"Leave a squad of soldiers to cover, and the rest of the men will not only fight but also make a move, tie up all the grenades for me, and give them a sound"!
"Wouldn't it be too bold to do this, how can we withdraw"? Kaijiji said worriedly.
"What are you worried about, fishing in troubled waters, the old routine, fetch me all the white towels, everyone keeps up with the people they know, you can't speak, and you can't fall behind"!
