When Ken Muto heard this, his brows furrowed. Hiroshi Yamada's northward attack speed is too slow, and the Japanese troops on the northern route under the command of Kenichi Muto have suffered too many casualties, and the 15th Brigade has already suffered more than half of the casualties.

"Send a report to Yamada Hao, and order Yamada Hao to command the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade, go north at all costs, and take Guangling City for me as soon as possible! That's right. What did the fighters of the Air Force arrive in the sky over our department? ”

At this time, Muto Kenichi remembered that Naosaburo Okabe, the temporary commander of the First Army, had already dispatched more than a dozen Japanese air force fighters from Datong Airport to take off to help them break through and attack Ul County.

The devil staff officer accompanying the army immediately replied: "Division commander, there are at least five minutes left before the aviation fighters can reach the sky above our department!" ”。

"Alright! Baga Ya Road, aviation guys! Rush them, hurry! Give an order to Kenichiro Yokogawa, let Kenichiro Yokogawa continue to attack the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in the south! We can't relax our attacks, or our morale will be gone! At this time, Kenichi Muto had to look at his eyes first and said in a condensed voice.

The staff officer of the accompanying army reminded: "Your Excellency the division commander, according to the losses reported by the 15th Brigade and Regiment, plus our previous battle losses, we only have less than 10,000 horses left at this time!" There are also hundreds of seriously injured people, and I am afraid that they will not survive in this weather within ten minutes. ”。

"Now there is no other way, at this time and this weather, we only want to attack and advance in Wei County, and hold on to wait for reinforcements after capturing Wei County, so that after the main force of the 3rd Brigade on the South Road goes north to capture Guangling, we can counterattack and counter-encircle Li Yunlong's main force! Otherwise, it will be too late to break through in other directions at this time. The key is that we are running out of food, grass and ammunition, and Wei County is less than five kilometers away from us. Execute the order! ”

Muto Ken said with a gloomy face, who would have thought that one day his wild goose would be looked at by Li Yunlong, a cunning Chinese man!

But what can't help but convince Kenichi Muto is that the other party is so cunning and so awesome, who made you too arrogant and underestimate the enemy?

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders!" The devil paused with the staff of the army, and he could only carry out Kenichi Muto's orders.

And soon, Kenichiro Yokogawa, who had received Kenichi Muto's order, suddenly sighed helplessly in his brigade headquarters. Once he continues to storm and break through to the south, his 15th Brigade still has more than 4,500 remaining living forces, and I am afraid that it will not consume many elite troops on the way to break through!

But Kenichi Muto's consideration was also right, if he didn't continue to attack and advance at this time, the previous attack efforts would be in vain.

"Baga Ya Road! Keep attacking and advancing, kill, kill! Kenichiro Yokogawa finally drew his samurai saber and slashed forward, and the devil's divisions of the remaining brigades under his command continued to advance fiercely towards the defensive blocking positions composed of the third and fourth battalions of the new 1st Regiment and 2,000 guerrillas.

"Boom, boom!"

"Tutu Tutu Tutu Tu Tu !!"

.................

The light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, the only remaining artillery fire, continued to carry out fierce artillery bombardment and fire on the blocking line held by Ma Wenhai and He Yongjie's troops. Suddenly, the positions held by the two men and horses and the guerrillas were suddenly filled with gunfire and smoke, and the sea of fire was boundless.

The snow on the blocking position had already been completely melted away by the Japanese artillery shells, and a new group of soldiers on the position who were constantly killed and wounded by the devil's artillery fire was gradually appearing.

However, in a war between us and the enemy, it is impossible for only one side to suffer heavy casualties and the other side to suffer no casualties. Even if they were ready for the shelling of the devils, the new regiment of soldiers who were blocking the attack on the trenches were hit by the fragments of the shells, and the casualties increased.

However, because Li Yunlong and others were prepared to ambush the Japanese group along the way of Kenichi Muto, under the barbed wire line, the headquarters of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army under the command of Kenichiro Yokogawa still dropped countless corpses, stumps and broken arms in front of the trenches guarded by the 3rd and 4th Battalions under the following offensive, and scattered them everywhere on the position.

The screams started, and when he saw Kenichiro Yokogawa, who was supervising the battle, he was unwilling, and the battle was too aggrieved.

"Brigade commander, our fighters are here!" Just when Yokogawa Kenichiro's face was difficult to see, the chief of staff Ono Ryusansa, who was standing beside him, suddenly pointed to the roar of fighter planes rumbling over the north, and saw one fighter plane after another roaring.

Kenichiro Yokogawa looked at the telescope in his hand to the north, and immediately said happily: "Yo Xi, haha, the fighters of the air force have come to help." Quick, give the air force the coordinates of the ground bombardment, and let them bomb me hard. Order the 30th Infantry Wing, give me the 1st and 3rd Infantry Battalions to which the Wing belongs, prepare two battalions for me to attack fiercely, and strive to break through the enemy's blocking line to the south in one blow, and hurry up! ”。

"Hai, brigade commander, I understand my humble duties." Xiao Ye Long Sanzuo paused heavily, and his expression was also very happy, and he finally had air cover to break through.

Not only did Yokogawa Kenichiro see the devil's fighter plane coming to help, but the roaring sound of the fighter plane also made Li Yunlong see from the telescope more than a dozen Japanese fighters in the north sky in the distance.

"Made, the devil's fighter planes are still coming to help quite fast! Order the 3rd and 4th battalions, the 3rd partisan detachment, pay attention to concealment! Order Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun to hurry up, lock the encirclement, and restrain Kenichi Muto's neck for me, and labor and management will strangle the remnants of this old devil! ”

Li Yunlong immediately beckoned the regimental staff officer not far away, waved his hand and said with a sneer.

"Yes, Captain!" The staff officers of the headquarters quickly responded, and then conveyed to the commanders and fighters of all battalions and units through field telephones that they should pay attention to air defense concealment.

At this time, Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire had also been carrying out artillery strikes, and without waiting for Li Yunlong's order, seeing the Japanese fighters attacking from the north sky, Wang Chengzhu immediately ordered all artillery to temporarily stop large-scale shelling. Instead, he ordered all the guns to pay attention to concealment at once, and to concentrate all the anti-aircraft artillery fire and prepare to strike at the incoming enemy planes.

After the ground coordinates given by Kenichiro Yokogawa on the ground, the roaring Japanese fighters divided into two groups to carry out low-altitude bombardment of the blocking positions of the third and fourth battalions, and the other wave carried out focused bombardment of the artillery positions where Wang Chengzhu was located.

It's just that Wang Chengzhu and others already have a plan for the attack of the devil's fighters, and once the devil's fighters appear, the anti-aircraft firepower of all units ready to be ready at any time will fiercely shoot into the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom!!" Only 11 Japanese fighters attacked, and after separation, they fired and bombed at low altitudes, although the momentum was violent, causing a great morale boost to the devils on the ground who were preparing to attack the south.

But soon, the devils on the ground saw the new regiment of anti-aircraft fire cross-cutting and violently strafing the sky, hitting the incoming Japanese fighters, and at least five Japanese fighters fell to the ground with black smoke and exploded on the spot.
