"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

As soon as Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and others ran out of the regimental headquarters, one aerial bomb after another smashed down to the ground like meteorites outside the sky, wrapped in the sound of breaking wind tearing the air.

At the same time, the artillery wings directly under the divisions and regiments of the Japanese army east of the first-line gorge also launched bombardments one after another.

A large area east of the first-line gorge was suddenly blown up into flames and smoke and dust.

Countless plants and trees broke off, rocks cracked, and the shock wave generated by the explosion scattered in all directions, and finally rolled down the slope into the mountain stream.

The huge roar resounded through the sky, as if the end of the world was coming.

The surrounding birds and animals were frightened and fled the area as fast as they could.

Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and the others turned a blind eye to this, and continued to resist the devil's artillery fire and rushed towards their respective defense areas.

And the soldiers of each battalion and company also hid in the fortifications built in advance at the first time.

Therefore, the devil's ground-air joint bombing seems to be terrifying, but in fact, the casualties caused to the Tiger Ben Regiment are not large.

In particular, the inflatable field artillery positions of the Tiger Regiment once again attracted a lot of firepower from the Devil Aviation.

……

After 40 minutes, the combined ground-air bombardment of the devils finally gradually stopped, and immediately, tens of thousands of Japanese troops immediately divided their troops and launched a fierce attack on the position of the Tiger Ben Regiment west of the first line of the gorge.

And Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and others also arrived at their own defense areas one after another, and ordered the troops to launch a counterattack.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tubu! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

Suddenly, the sound of fierce gunfire and explosions resounded almost throughout the first-line gorge area.

This time, the Japanese army came with heavy troops, and as soon as they started, they went all out, aiming to complete their efforts in one battle and completely annihilate the Tiger Bun Regiment.

Fortunately, as the defender, the Tiger Regiment occupied favorable terrain in advance and built strong fortifications.

At the same time, large minefields have been deployed.

Therefore, the Japanese army launched several charges one after another, but failed to successfully cross the first line of the gorge to the moat.

In the end, due to the heavy casualties, the attack had to be stopped.

…………

The picture pulls to Hefei, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

A staff officer of Osa, with a telegram, came to Okamura Ninji and Fujiwara Takeshi, and reported to the two of them with a respectful face: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the 13th Division of the Imperial Army has successfully conquered the mall. ”

"Yo Xi!"

Fujiwara Takeshi's face suddenly showed a chrysanthemum-like smile, and he immediately turned around and came to the battle map, found the location of the mall, and said: "Your Excellency, now Gushi and the mall have all fallen into the hands of my Imperial Japanese Army.

It means that we have completely cut off the retreat of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army and the reinforcements of other Chinese armies geographically! ”

As he spoke, the old devil's eyes suddenly burst out with two wolf-like fierce eyes, and he continued with a cold face: "This time, the tiger group will definitely be unable to escape!" ”

Okamura Ninji said with some disapproval: "Fujiwara-kun, now that the 101st, 6th, and 106th divisions of the imperial army have arrived in Jinzhai County, with these three imperial armies, it is enough to destroy the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army!"

And our ultimate strategic intention is to cooperate with the main force of the Central China Imperial Army up the Shuojiang River to conquer Wuhan and completely annihilate the entire China, rather than dealing with a small Tiger Ben regiment. ”

After a pause, Okamura Ninji immediately turned his head to look at the staff officer Dazuo on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Call back to the 13th Division of the Imperial Army, and order the Ogisu Standing Army to continue to lead the 13th Division of the Imperial Army to pursue the victory, and march to Guangshan and Huangchuan before the Chinese army has a firm foothold and a solid defense line has not been established!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, no!" Fujiwara Takeshi interrupted: "I don't know if you have noticed, since the Battle of Songhu began, every time the imperial army has suffered a setback, it is almost inseparable from this hateful tiger group!"

Baoshan, Songjiang, Kunshan, and later Yangzhou, Jinling, and even Xuzhou battlefields, are all the same!

If it weren't for this Tiger Regiment, the casualties of the imperial army on the battlefield of China would have been reduced by at least more than half!

Even, Wuhan may have fallen into the hands of the imperial army!

Therefore, compared to other Chinese armies, this Tiger Ben Regiment is the real top confidant of the Imperial Army!

Even if it takes a few more days to annihilate the Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army, it will be completely worth it! ”

After a pause, Fujiwara Takeshi continued: "And this Yang Jing is extremely cunning, in the previous battles, the imperial army had more than once forced him into a corner.

But in the end, all of them let him escape smoothly!

This time, it was hard to surround it on all sides, so it must not be allowed to break through and escape again! ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji pondered for a moment, and finally nodded thoughtfully, accepted Fujiwara Takeshi's proposal, and turned to look at the Dasaku staff officer who came to report and said: "Call back to the 13th Division of the Imperial Army, tell Ogisu Libing, and immediately lead the troops to cut off Jinzhai's retreat to Gushi and Mall!"

The Tiger Ben Regiment must not be allowed to escape westward from the Jinzhai Territory, otherwise he will ask! ”

"Hello!"

There was a handful of black-haired devils left in the middle of the people, and Dazuo paused heavily, and then turned around and went out of the door, rushing towards the confidential room.

Okamura Ningji looked out the window at the direction of Jinzhai along the setting sun, and asked, "By the way, didn't it mean that the 101st, 6th, and 106th divisions of the Imperial Army had already launched an attack two hours ago?"

How's the battle going? ”

As soon as Okamura Ninji's words fell, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in from outside: "Your Excellency, the big thing is not good, the attack of the 101st Division and other units of the Imperial Army has failed!" ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji's face instantly turned gloomy.

Fujiwara Takemichi: "Your Excellency, the defeat of the 101st Division of the Imperial Army and other units is completely reasonable.

Otherwise, if the Tiger Regiment is so easy to deal with, then this army is not worthy of becoming the top confidant of the Imperial Army! ”

"Hmmm! Fujiwara-kun has a point! ”

After calming down, Okamura Ninji nodded thoughtfully, and turned to the communications staff officer who came to report and instructed: "Pass on my order, in a tense battle, Lieutenant General Ito Masakaki, commander of the 101st Division of the Imperial Army, will be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and the 101st, 6th, and 106th divisions will be under unified command of the operation.

In addition, it is getting late today, so all units on the front line can be ordered to rest and recuperate for a while and postpone the attack.

Blockade in a roundabout way in advance, consolidate the position, and do not give the enemy a chance to break through.

Wait until dawn before you attack! ”

"Hay!" The devil's communications staff officer bowed his head sharply and immediately took the order to leave.

It is worth mentioning that the 6th Division is one of the 17 standing A divisions of the Japanese army, while the 101st Division and the 106th Division are ad hoc divisions.

Therefore, it was originally supposed to be the division commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Shiro Inaba was more suitable as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

However, considering the disappointing performance of the 6th Division and the fact that Shiro Inaba had just taken office, he was slightly less qualified than Ito Masaki, so Okamura Ninji appointed Ito Masaki as the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Battle of Jinzhai.

……

The picture pulls to the first-line gorge, the joint command of the Japanese army.

Masaki Ito, Shiro Inaba, and Junrokuro Matsuura and others all looked a little sad because of the defeat just now.

It wasn't until after receiving a call back from Okamura Ningji from Hefei that the devil generals breathed a sigh of relief.

Ito Masaki did not take the front of the enemy's commander-in-chief, but turned his head to look at Shiro Inaba and Junrokuro Matsuura, and said in a consultative tone: "Inaba-kun and Matsuura-kun, if you have no opinion, then do as your Excellency the commander instructs, and wait for tomorrow morning to launch an attack." ”

Shiro Inaba, who had just taken office and was eager to show himself, obviously felt that Okamura Ninji was too cautious, so he disagreed: "Ito-kun, according to reliable information, our strength is at least 10 times that of the Tiger Den Regiment of the Shina Army.

To annihilate it is just a matter of turning over, so why waste time and leave it a chance to break through and escape? ”

Ito Masaki said: "Inaba-kun, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army, after this battle, I believe you have seen it."

Not only is the combat effectiveness of this army far stronger than that of the ordinary Chinese army, but its commander Yang Jing is an extremely difficult opponent!

Although the Tiger Regiment was at a disadvantage in strength at this time, it could not be taken lightly.

It must be foolproof and not give them a chance to break through in order to annihilate them all!

Your idea of underestimating the enemy, when you were on the battlefield of Fuyang before, Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu and Lieutenant General Ji Jia Ryosuke must have had it.

But as you can see in the end, not only did they fail to annihilate the Tiger Bun.

On the contrary, he was defeated repeatedly, and finally Yang Jing led his troops to complete a shocking reversal, and relied on inferior troops to severely damage tens of thousands of encirclement and suppression troops of the imperial army in the movement war!

So, let's learn from it!

What's more, the terrain of the first-line gorge is so dangerous, and after dark, the artillery power of the imperial army cannot be brought into play, and at the same time, we cannot get the tactical guidance of the imperial army's aviation.

Even if we can cross the first-line gorge and annihilate the Tiger Ben regiment of the Chinese army in the mountainous area west of the first-line gorge, we can't ignore the casualties of the imperial army, right? ”

Shiro Inaba felt that Masaki Ito's analysis was very reasonable, and besides, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to take office as the commander of the 6th Division, even if he didn't say anything more.

And the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, had no opinion on this.

So they were ordered to leave.

The main forces of the 101st Division immediately went to the east of the first-line gorge and the key roads of the passes.

The main wings of the 6th and 106th Divisions also outflanked the north and south flanks of the first-line gorge in a roundabout way, preparing for the attack.

Just wait for tomorrow morning, and then immediately attack.

……

The picture pulls back to the west side of the first line of gorges.

Yang Jing took Ma Tong to a high point, holding a telescope to see the devil's actions.

After a while, Ma Tong put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Tuanza, the little devil is so aggressive, can he continue to attack?" ”

Yang Jing said: "The attack of the little devil is nothing more than the three-plate axe, at this time it is too late, and there is no support from the aviation, so there should be no attack." ”

Ma Tong said again: "Then who are they?" ”

Yang Jing said: "Prepare for tomorrow's attack." ”

As he spoke, the corners of Yang Jing's mouth couldn't help but rise with a cold smile: "Tell the artillery battalion, give me a few cannons first, and let these little devils enjoy the fireworks." ”

"Yes!"

Ma Tong agreed with a bang and quickly ran away.
