Ping'an County, the headquarters of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

Ryoichi Yamamoto rushed into the war room with a telegram.

"Division commander, division commander!" Ryoichi Yamamoto said excitedly, "Okamoto-kun has sent a telegram!" ”

"Oh yes?" Hearing this, Inoue Sadawei suddenly perked up, and couldn't wait to say, "Okamoto-kun has entered Heyuan County and established a communication station?" ”

"Not really." Yamamoto Ryoichi shook his head and said, "When Okamoto-kun arrived at Heyuan County, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army had already surrounded Heyuan County and had already launched a fierce attack, so it couldn't enter. ”

"But it doesn't matter, Okamoto-kun has already set up a communication station on a hill outside the city."

"Although the distance of this hill is a little far, the view is excellent, and you can take in the battle situation outside the east gate of Heyuan County."

"The first piece of information sent back by Okamoto-kun was also about the battle outside the east gate of Heyuan County, and the telegram said that the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th regiment of the Jin Sui Army fought extremely fiercely!"

"Several white-knuckle fights broke out between the two sides!"

"Yo Si! Yo West! Inoue Sadawei was overjoyed when he heard this.

After a pause, Inoue Sadawei said again: "Call back to Okamoto-kun and ask him to continue to closely monitor the battle situation in Heyuan County, but at the same time, he must pay attention to concealment and protect himself." ”

"Hello!" Ryoichi Yamamoto paused.

……

Outside the west gate of Heyuan County, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

"Anti-artillery, it's time, anti-artillery!"

With a reminder, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army on the position entered the designated area one after another.

A few minutes later, rows of shells rained down on the positions of the Eighth Route Army outside the West Gate.

Looking at the red light blooming in the night, Li Yunlong smacked his mouth and said, "Damn, Chu Yunfei, this kid is not a ghost, he is Chairman Jiang's protégé." ”

"American howitzers are prioritized for equipping the 358 regiment."

"Damn, if only our independent regiment could have a few American howitzers."

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this is a matter of time or time, sooner or later, the American howitzers of the 358th Regiment will be from our independent regiment, if Chairman Jiang is the captain of the transport team, then Chu Yunfei is the captain of the transport team, hehe." ”

"Haha, I love to hear that." Li Yunlong said, "Chu Yunfei is still a man, but his 358th regiment is a piece of meat in my eyes. ”

Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, I don't think I can underestimate the enemy. ”

Xing Zhiguo also echoed: "Yes, from the fighting spirit and technical and tactical qualities shown in this exercise, the 358th Regiment is obviously much stronger than other Jinsui Army units. ”

Zhao Gang said: "And in the exercise, our independent regiment did not take advantage at all. ”

Xing Zhiguo: "Both sides were wounded, although the Jin Sui army had more wounded than us, but this is because their artillery did not play a role, if this is a real battle, the two artillery battalions of the 358th Regiment can really fight, the casualties of our independent regiment will definitely be much more, so it really can't be underestimated." ”

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Thanks to this, this is just a drill, if this is a real battle, the two artillery battalions of the 358th Regiment will not even have a chance to open fire!" ”

Wang Yan said: "The regiment commander is right, this is just a drill, if this is a real battle, hehehe, Chu Yunfei doesn't even have the opportunity to command the battle, our wolf tooth squad will kill his regimental headquarters as soon as possible!" ”

"Boast as much as you want." Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo didn't believe it.

Wang Yan didn't say much.

……

It's dawn.

The Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army suspended the exchange of fire.

Both sides sent "corpse collection teams" to collect corpses on the battlefield.

Kazuo Okamoto hid on the top of a hill five miles outside the east gate, and with the help of an eightfold military telescope, he could see this scene very clearly.

As an intelligence officer, Kazuo Okamoto is very sensitive to numbers.

Even if he didn't count carefully, Kazuo Okamoto could roughly judge that there were at least two hundred "corpses" brought back from the battlefield by the Eighth Route Army!

The Jin Suijun side was slightly less, but there must have been at least a hundred corpses.

There are even corpses that are mutilated, which shows how tragic the fighting was!

After about ten minutes of observation, Kazuo Okamoto put down the telescope and began to draft the telegram, which was then translated into dots and dashes, and finally sent out by radio.

……

Ping'an County, 69th Division Headquarters.

Ryoichi Yamamoto walked briskly into the war room.

"Division commander, Okamoto-kun has sent a telegram again." Ryo Yamamoto, "At dawn, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army suspended the exchange of fire, collecting the wounded and corpses respectively. ”

"Just a battlefield outside the east gate, the independent regiment carried back more than 200 corpses."

"This is just a battlefield outside the East Gate, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army surrounded the entire Heyuan City, and attacked in four directions at the same time, so the total casualties of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army last night should be about 1,000!"

"In just one night, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army suffered thousands of casualties!"

"The situation on the side of the Jin Sui army may be slightly better, but it has at least more than five hundred casualties."

"Yo Si." Inoue Zhenwei nodded happily, and said, "Hasn't the main force of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army arrived yet?" It's been a night, and Jin Suijun's movements are too slow. ”

Yamamoto Ryoichi said: "It stands to reason that the main force of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army should have arrived, but Okamoto-kun can only observe the west gate of Heyuan County, and he can't take care of other directions, so I don't know it for the time being." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer hurriedly came in: "Chief of Staff, the headquarters replied that a long-range attack aircraft from the 16th Squadron of Attack Aircraft stationed in Taiyuan has rushed over. ”

"Yo Xi!" Inoue Sadawei said happily, "The long-range attack aircraft is good, not only the cruise time is long, but also the on-board radio can directly communicate!" ”

Speaking of this, he said to Yamamoto Ryoichi: "Yamamoto-kun, hurry up and establish communication with this long-range attack aircraft of the 16th Squadron of the attack aircraft, so as to receive information as soon as possible!" ”

"Hello!" Ryoichi Yamamoto paused suddenly, then turned around and hurried away.

Less than half an hour later, Ryoichi Yamamoto hurried back again.

"Division commander, communication with the No. 1603 long-range attack aircraft has been established." Ryo Yamamoto, "And No. 1603 has sent back the first piece of information about Heyuan County." ”

"The main force of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army has already arrived."

"It's just that it was blocked by the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army ten kilometers west of the city."

"And according to the observation of No. 1603, the battle situation in the blocking position in the west of the city is even more tragic than that of the four city gates!"

"Now the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army are two battlefields fighting at the same time, and they have become a pot of porridge."

"The situation has developed to the present, not to mention whether the high-level leaders of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army know about it, even if the high-level leaders of both sides know about it and are willing to come forward to stop this vicious battle, I am afraid that it will not be possible."

"Yo Xi!" Inoue Sadawei was overjoyed when he heard this, and God helped me.

There is no mistake
