Li Lei's original order to the 4th and 5th battalions was to build a defensive line in Yangyuan, confront the Japanese Ninth Division, and entangle it.

But now it seems that this plan has failed.

If the troops of the 4th and 5th battalions were allowed to hold back the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the casualties would be very large.

Li Lei looked at the middle ground between Yanggao and Yangyuan.

"Order the 4th and 5th Battalions to immediately pursue the 9th Division of the Japanese Army and continue to harass and sneak attacks.

After the Japanese army and the third battalion exchanged fire, they attacked the Japanese army fiercely from behind.

The 3rd Battalion was ordered to build three lines of defense between Yanggao and Yangyuan to block the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

Wang Han's flying brigade was ordered to carry out non-stop bombing of the Japanese Ninth Division to slow down the Japanese attack.

The 2nd, 7th, and 8th Battalions were ordered to attack the Japanese 5th Division immediately after the shelling. Be sure to destroy them within a day. ”

Li Yunlong wrinkled his brows: "Regiment commander, we used one infantry battalion and two tank battalions to attack the fifth division of the Japanese army, and the strength is a bit insufficient."

Zhou Weiguo's second battalion has a strength of 15,000 people, and the two tank battalions and infantry add up to about 10,000 people.

It was a bit difficult to destroy the 5th Division of the Japanese Army in one day. ”

Li Lei nodded: "There must be difficulties, but now the fifth division of the Japanese army has been annihilated by half of our troops."

Now their troops are not fully deployed.

A large number of Japanese troops are still along the railway line.

There is no depth and no trenches.

It's a lot easier for us to attack.

Tell Zhou Weiguo that this time to annihilate the fifth division of the Japanese army, his second battalion is the main attack.

The other two battalions cooperated and listened to Zhou Weiguo's command.

Chen Tianfang and Fang Tianyi were both participating in such a big encirclement battle for the first time, and they lacked experience.

Let Zhou Weiguo take them. ”

In this case, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army will have to face the attack of three battalions of the 1st Regiment for the time being.

Coupled with Wang Han's flying brigade, the annihilation of the Japanese Ninth Division should be possible.

Li Lei continued: "From now on, the third, fourth, and fifth battalions will be under the command of Yang Liqing.

Tell Chen Feng and Sun Chenghai not to only fight by themselves, but to listen to Yang Liqing's command.

Yang Liqing's command ability is above the two of them, so it is more reassuring for him to command me. ”

The three battalions, which received Li Lei's order, immediately moved south from Yanggao and set up three lines of defense between Yanggao and Yangyuan.

In order to delay the offensive of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

Chen Feng ordered the 3rd Battalion to set up a large number of mines at the front of the position.

A large number of trenches and tunnels were also dug.

At the same time, a lot of barbed wire was set up.

All the guns of the third battalion were adjusted to a large angle and set to the maximum firing range.

Dozens of tanks, which were placed behind the positions, were used as artillery.

Because the main task of the third battalion was defense, Chen Feng concentrated his forces on the defensive line.

The 4th and 5th battalions in Yangyuan were immediately dispatched to pursue the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

The most excited is Yang Liqing, who has small eyes.

With this smile, his eyes were gone.

All that's left is a big round face.

could have been a battalion commander in the first regiment, but he felt that he was already the pinnacle of his life.

For Yang Liqing, as long as he can fight, it doesn't matter if he is the regiment commander or the battalion commander.

In the past, he was the commander of the division, but the total strength was only 5,000 at best.

Although he is now the battalion commander, his five battalions have a small strength of 20,000 people.

What is this concept?

This is a temporary mess.

The gold content of his battalion commander is too great.

Now Li Lei put him in command of three battalions.

My God, this is the first time I have commanded an army of more than 40,000 men.

Can you not be excited?

Yang Liqing immediately ordered the 3rd Battalion to defend with all its might, and resolutely blocked the 9th Division of the Japanese Army at a place about 50 kilometers south of Yangyuan.

The 4th Battalion was ordered to pursue the 9th Division of the Japanese Army from the left side.

With five battalions, he pursued the Japanese 9th Division from the right side.

Yang Liqing's plan was that the 3rd Battalion blocked the way of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 4th and 5th Battalions were to flank the left and right, striving to annihilate the Japanese army within two days.

Three battalions, the number of artillery pieces added up to a very impressive amount.

Tanks also add up to a hundred.

And there are also two hundred planes of Wang Han in the air.

With such a force, Yang Liqing is still sure of annihilating the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army.

This was the first time he commanded so many troops, and it was the first time that he commanded troops alone and annihilated a division of the Japanese army.

So after being excited, Yang Liqing was also a little uncertain.

Yang Liqing immediately sent a telegram to the regiment headquarters, asking Li Lei if he had anything else to explain.

Li Lei, who saw the telegram, smiled.

This Yang Liqing is usually not like this!

How is it now mother-in-law's?

Zhao Gang said: "It is the first time that Battalion Commander Yang has independently commanded so many troops, and he is a whole system to annihilate the Japanese army, so it is normal to be a little cautious. ”

Li Lei nodded: "Tell Yang Liqing that I will not participate in the annihilation of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army this time."

I have already handed over the command of three battalions to him.

There is also the support of Wang Han's plane in the air.

Let him let go of his hands and feet.

I don't ask about the process, I just want the result.

Won, I invited him to drink.

If he loses, he will go back wherever he comes.

For the time being, it will always be the capable and the mediocre. ”

Yang Liqing, who received Li Lei's telegram, had a straight face, and his whole person became serious.

The head of the regiment's wine, he Yang Liqing drank it.

The three battalions were like a big net, and they rushed towards the Japanese Ninth Division.

And for the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, every second was a torment.

Although the three battalions withdrew from the battle against the Japanese 5th Division.

But the shelling of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army by the remaining troops did not weaken much.

Howitzer units remain the main force.

Of course, the large number of infantry guns should not be underestimated.

Plus there are mortars and hundreds of tanks.

On the positions of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, explosions were heard everywhere.

Smoke fills the air.

Either fire or smoke, the Japanese army has already been blown up stupidly.

Although many devils have not been blown up yet, they have been blown up like the walking dead.

I don't even know how to hide.

Besides, there's nowhere to hide.

The artillery fire is so dense that no matter where you hide, you will be blown up by the artillery fire.

An hour of shelling was over.

The commander of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, Otozo Yano, was completely blown up, and his soul was gone.

The loud sound of cannon had already burst his eardrums, and he was deaf.

The whole world is surprisingly quiet for him now.

There were dead people everywhere, explosions everywhere.

The devil ran back and forth like crazy.

But for Otozo Yano, it all seems like a pantomime.

He couldn't hear anything.

This feeling of seeing and not hearing made Otozo Yano very aggrieved.

It's like watching an island country film without sound, there is no passion at all.

Otozo Yano turned his head to look, and his chief of staff was already hanging.

He died a miserable death.

The whole body was scorched.

It's black.

I don't know why the head is not burned.

His eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be struggling before he died.

Now beside him, the entire headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, there are more than a dozen people.

A Japanese soldier reported to Otozo Yano.

But he couldn't hear it at all.

Yano Yin pointed three fingers to his ear: "I'm deaf, write it down for me on paper." ”

The Japanese soldier was stunned.

Nani???

Our division commander is actually deaf?

Really?

In order to verify that Otozo Yano was really deaf, the Japanese soldier Osa whispered: "I'm your father." ”

Yano's Otozo only saw what the Japanese army Osa said.

There was no sound at all.

So he said, "I said, I'm deaf, take a pen and write it down." ”

The Japanese soldier raised his voice: "I'm your father!" ”

Yano Otozo was furious, kicked over, and kicked the Japanese soldier Osa away: "Yaga!! I said I was deaf! Are you deaf too? Immediately, immediately, take a pen and write down the message you want to report!! ”

That Japanese soldier Dazuo was kicked and, grinning in pain.

He rubbed his ass and got up.

Baga ......

The division commander was really deaf.

After the artillery bombardment was over, Li Lei ordered the 3rd, 7th, and 8th battalions to immediately launch an attack on the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Tell the troops to use the most fierce offensive method and strive to annihilate the Japanese Fifth Division in the shortest time."

The headquarters has sent a telegram that the First Route Army of Shenchi and the Second Route Army of Yanmen Pass have exchanged fire with the devils.

Listening to the meaning of the headquarters, the battle was very stalemate.

The casualties of the troops were heavy.

There wasn't much time to buy for the temporary group.

The Japanese reinforcements from Shijiazhuang were moving westward on a large scale at this time.

You can reach Taiyuan in no time.

When the time comes, the troops in Shenchi and Yanmen Pass, let alone blocking the Japanese army, can retreat, it is difficult to say.

Zhou Weiguo had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

After returning from abroad, he hadn't fought much in a small half a year.

This time, it was not easy to catch the fifth division of the Japanese army, and if he didn't kill them, Zhou Weiguo couldn't get over it in his heart.

And this time, the regiment commander said very clearly, two tank battalions are responsible for cooperating with his second battalion.

In other words, the main force that annihilated the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was his 2nd Battalion.

Now that the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army has suffered more than half of the casualties, if it can't be defeated, then he Zhou Weiguo will go home directly to pick up the child.

"Order the troops, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th companies, to attack from the front.

The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth companies made a roundabout outflank from the left flank.

Tell the 7th and 8th Battalions to have their tank units spread out in the frontal positions of the Japanese army, and our infantry, to cooperate with the attack. ”

Fang Tianyi and Chen Tianfang, who received Zhou Weiguo's news, immediately ordered the troops, all tanks, to drive in front of the Japanese frontal position.

Two hundred tanks, all the way over, just the smoke from the engines, obscuring the sky.

The frontal defensive position of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was a pile of simple fortifications.

Because there was no time to dig trenches, Otozo Yano ordered that the corpses of the dead devils and the charred trains be carried out as improvised trenches for them.
