Chapter 872: Fierce Battle in the Xiyang River Valley (7)

The 12 Japanese bombers roared and swooped down from a high altitude to the ground, and when they locked onto the targets of our army's position, they dropped bombs one after another, and as the bombs landed and made a violent explosion sound, our army's entire position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames.

When the commander of the Suzuki Division discovered that the Japanese bombers had appeared in the skies, he immediately ordered all brigades, regiments, and wings to launch the most fierce counterattack against the positions of the 85th Division of Laohutou and the 17th Division of Shaoyuan under the cover of aircraft, in an attempt to break through with the cover of indiscriminate bombardment by aircraft

All units of our army had no sense of air defense and did not know how to dodge the bombs dropped by the Japanese bombers, and the troops suffered heavy casualties in the three waves in which the Japanese bombers bombed the positions like crazy.

The Japanese bombers dropped all the bombs they carried on our positions, and all the officers and men of our army braved the enemy's wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, bravely held their positions, and waged a bloody battle against the Suzuki Division, which broke through to the east exit under the cover of the planes.

The Japanese troops, who launched a strong counterattack, failed to break through the defense line of our blockade with the help of air support from aircraft, and had to quickly retreat to the Xiyang River valley under the powerful firepower.

After another day of hard counterattack, the Japanese army's weapons and equipment, food, medicine, and important military supplies were almost exhausted, and if they were not replenished in time, the Suzuki Division trapped in the Xiyang River Valley would naturally collapse and die if it did not need our army to launch a powerful attack.

The commander of the Suzuki Division once again asked Commander Sugiyama Moto of the North China Front Army that in order for the division to successfully break through the defense line of the Chinese troops on the Xiyang River, it must immediately provide the troops with important military supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food, and medicines, which are in short supply.

Commander Sugiyama Mototo's direct order to the commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, ordered Major General Yoshishige Mizuhara, commander of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade on the Nakajo Mountain Front, to prepare a large number of important military supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine as quickly as possible and deliver them to the Yuncheng Army Aviation Flight Group.

The 36th Flying Group of the Yuncheng Army Aviation was ordered to send three transport planes loaded with weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, and important military supplies prepared by the Suwon Yoshige Brigade, which must be dropped on the Suzuki Division stranded in the Xiyang River Valley this night.

The night slowly darkened, and under the dim light of the command room of the 17th Division, Division Commander Zhao's biggest headache at this time was that the troops fought fiercely with the Suzuki Division in the Xiyang River for 11 days.

In particular, the troops' weapons and ammunition consumption is very large, and the brigades, regiments, and even battalions and companies are almost running out of ammunition and food; if they cannot be replenished in time, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced, not to mention, and it is very likely that the Japanese army will counterattack and lose the positions it holds.

Deputy Division Commander Chen stood in front of Senior Commander Zhao and said tentatively: "Master, have you noticed that this person Lei Yunfeng is a little magical, he can foresee many things in advance before they happen, I think this person should not be underestimated." ”

"Deputy Division Commander Chen, Lei Yunfeng is just a spy leader of the military command, I have heard that this young man has some ability, but according to what you said, he seems to be unpredictable, I don't know what you want to remind me of when you say this vaguely."

"Division, we are now engaged in a protracted and bloody battle with the Japanese army, and the troops are almost out of ammunition and food, so it is better to find Lei Yunfeng and see if he has a good way to solve the urgent needs of the troops."

"Just him? Is it useful to find him, Deputy Division Commander Chen? I see that you are sick and go to the doctor, a military commander spy leader, there is a way to fabricate charges in private to frame good people, and now I have him to ask him to find a way, hum, I think this is nonsense. ”

"Master, we have now reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, please ask Lei Yunfeng to ask him for a way, if he does it, he will be happy, if it doesn't work, there will be nothing less, what do you say, Shiza?"

"Since Deputy Division Commander Chen is so insistent, then call this little guy to ask, but I'll give you a reminder first, don't get your hopes up."

Deputy Division Commander Chen got the permission of the division, and immediately sent someone to find Lei Yunfeng, and the first sentence of the split was: "Captain Lei, there is no need for me to shy away from some words, you may also know that the 17th Division and the Japanese army fought fiercely in the Xiyang River Valley for 11 days, and at this time they were almost out of ammunition and food, and if they could not get the urgently needed military supplies in time, I am afraid that they would ......." ”

"The two divisions, don't you want me Lei Yunfeng to play tricks for the two of you, and conjure up important military supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food, and medicines urgently needed by the 17th Division for the two commanders in person, right?"

"Why not? If you can do it, you will be the savior of my 17th Division, and I can immediately ask Commander Wei of the Western Route Army to appoint you as the quartermaster of the 17th Division, with the rank of major general, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it. ”

"I heard that Division Commander Zhao wanted to use this low-level agitation method, hoping that I would conjure up important military supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine urgently needed by the troops for the two divisions, right? Not right now, though, after midnight should be fine. ”

"Lei Yunfeng, this is a war in the army, there is no joke in the army, if you dare to spit out wild words and accept it, once you can't do it, do you know what the consequences are?"

"Division, I dare to make a military order with the head of the Xiang, if you think it is not enough, then put the heads of the five brothers of my supervision team, if you can't solve some weapons, ammunition, food and medicine and other important military supplies for the 17th Division at midnight, you will cut off the brains of me and the five brothers I brought with me."

"You, you're simply crazy, I just heard that you Lei Yunfeng has great courage, there is nothing you dare not do, there is no task that you dare not agree to, today is considered to be a lesson, and you actually spit out wild words in front of the enemy, do you know the consequences?"

"Master, I, Lei Yunfeng, am a gentleman, spitting is a nail, since I promised to hand over some military supplies to you after midnight, I am not spitting wild words. But I'm going to use the 54th Regiment to cooperate with me, I wonder if the division agrees? ”

Division Commander Zhao and Deputy Division Commander Chen didn't expect Lei Yunfeng to speak so simply, and it was completely impossible to do what he promised, but in this way, they dared to use the heads of themselves and their five brothers to make a military order, which was simply looking for death.

Anyone who dares to say such a thing in such a bad environment will think that this kid is either a madman or has been kicked in the head by a donkey, and what he says is not human at all.

But at this time and at that time, the troops were on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, and the two divisions could only use dead horses as live horse doctors, not only staring at Lei Yunfeng with a serious face and saying:

"Lei Yunfeng, a gentleman is hard to follow, if you can get the urgently needed military supplies for the 17th Division after midnight today, let alone use the 54th Regiment to cooperate with you, even if you ask me and Deputy Division Commander Chen to listen to your command, we will not have any conflict."

"Master, Master, you must not say that, how dare I, Lei Yunfeng, command you two? Now please sit down and wait for the good news, after midnight I will definitely provide the 17th Division with weapons and ammunition, food, medicine and other important military supplies in varying quantities. ”

Deputy Division Commander Chen looked at Lei Yunfeng in his heart and asked, "Commissioner Lei, can you reveal some news?" In this way, Master Zhao and I still have a little bottom in our hearts. ”

"No, no, no, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, please don't be impatient." Lei Yunfeng said and looked at his watch and then said: "In three and a half hours, we will see each other, wait patiently, I will go down and arrange it first." ”

"This little bastard, what he says is like singing, even singing must have a script, but this guy doesn't even open his mouth to speak, I see that he will be able to explain what I want after midnight in another three and a half hours."

"Master, Lei Yunfeng is not a gangster who speaks wildly and doesn't do his job, since he dares to take on such an important task, he must have something to rely on, but he doesn't know ......."
