The picture is pulled to Shanxi, the headquarters of the second theater commander.

Although Yang Chen did not call Yan Laoxi back, Yan Laoxi has been paying attention to the changes in the battle situation in the Gushi region.

In the morning, Yan Laoxi had just eaten breakfast and was reading the newspaper in the office.

Zhang Riming, the adjutant of the attendant guard, suddenly hurried in from outside, Yan Laoxi raised his head and asked, "By the way, Riming, you came just in time, how is the situation on the side of the Tiger Bentuan?" ”

"Boss, I came here to report this matter to you."

When Yan Laoxi heard this, he came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Hurry up!" ”

"Here's the thing......"

So, Zhang Riming told the situation as it was.

After listening to this, Yan Laoxi was furious, slapped the newspaper in his hand on the desk in front of him, and said hoarsely in an almost roaring voice: "This hateful Bai Jiansheng! To put it nicely, it is to contain the Japanese army and buy enough time for the Fifth Theater to deploy defenses.

In fact, in order to preserve his own strength, he pulled Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan out to be cannon fodder!

What a national righteousness, bullshit! That's all fucking bullshit!

If it was really for the sake of national righteousness, why didn't his army drag it up? ”

"The total seat is angry!" Zhang Riming said while comforting: "Boss, what should I do now?" ”

"Quickly generate electricity to the Tiger Bentuan, so that Yang Chen can break through as soon as possible and return to Shanxi! No matter what the consequences, I will carry it for him! ”

…………

At the same time, Yan'an, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The top brass of the Eighth Route Army is also holding an emergency meeting.

It's also about the Gushi region, the Tiger Bentuan.

The front-line underground party spies have already reported all the changes in the battle situation in the Gushi area and the situation of the Tiger Regiment.

After some deliberation, the top management of the Eighth Route Army unanimously decided.

As China's heroic unit and the backbone of the nation, the Tiger Regiment must not be allowed to be completely annihilated by the Japanese army in the Gushi area.

So on the one hand, he sent electricity to the Tiger Bentuan, and asked Yang Chen to take the Tiger Bentuan to break through quickly.

On the other hand, he also sent a telegram to the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River, ordering the New Fourth Army to mobilize troops and prepare to deal with the Tiger Ben Regiment's breakthrough encirclement.

The purpose of this move is not only to repay Yang Chen's favor.

It is also for the sake of the big picture, because in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, now is the era of the national united front.

The country and the nation have reached the most critical time, no matter the party, no matter the faction, as long as they are armed against Japan, our party personnel should do their best to provide assistance, fight with them, and jointly protect the homeland and country!

What's more, what is surrounded by the little devils is still a heroic unit with supreme prestige.

What's more, Yang Chen was not afraid of the punishment of the seal, committed crimes against the wind, and provided countless weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army free of charge, as well as heavy materials such as food and medicine.

…………

The picture pulls back to the beginning.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

The sound of explosions on the battlefield continued.

With the artillery battalion firing at full capacity, the Japanese attacking troops were inflicted huge casualties.

After several rounds of shelling, more than half of the nearly 10,000 attacking troops invested by the three divisions of the Japanese army suffered casualties.

Although many of these casualties were caused by the light and heavy weapons firepower of the defenders of the Tiger Regiment.

However, the vast majority of casualties were actually caused by artillery battalions.

Especially the 48 heavy howitzers of 155mm caliber, almost every time they go down, they will melt dozens or even hundreds of little devils.

Of course, this refers to the time when the fire has just been opened and the devil attacks the crowd is at its densest.

Coupled with napalm, it caused a huge psychological shock to the devil.

As a result, all the living devils have a deep fear.

Regardless of the military order, let alone the corpse of his companion who was blown up to a bloody and miserable scene.

They turned around and ran away, and the offensive collapsed!

"Baga Ya Road! Give me back, attack! Offensive! ”

Some of the devil officers tried to stop the soldiers from retreating, but their morale collapsed, and no matter how much they shouted, it was to no avail.

In the end, he had to give up the reprimand and retreat back with the remnants of the army.

When the news came back to the headquarters of the 6th Regiment of the Japanese Army, the division commander Toshio Tani couldn't help but be taken aback: "Nani? The attacking troops were bombarded by mysterious heavy enemy artillery? ”

"Yes, division commander! The heavy weapons used by the enemy, which were extremely powerful, inflicted huge losses on the attacking troops!

Especially those incendiary bombs that our army has never seen, they have caused a huge psychological shadow to the imperial army! Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho bowed his head sharply and replied with a solemn face.

Gu Shoufu didn't care about being angry, but frowned and asked puzzledly, "What kind of heavy weapon is it?" China. The army should not be equipped with heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm, right? ”

"I don't know what to do." Shimono Ichiho thought for a while and said: "In the previous battle of Zhoukou, the Tiger Ben Regiment annihilated the heavy artillery brigade of our Great Japanese Empire.

Could these be the heavy howitzers that were captured by the Imperial Army before? ”

Gu Shoufu thought about it and thought it was very possible, but in order to find out the specific situation, he pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Get me the wing captain who commands the attack, I want to understand the situation myself!" ”

"Hay!" Shimono Kazuho answered, and immediately sent someone to inform the Japanese soldier in charge of the attack.

It didn't take long for the big sa to come with a sincere fear.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, you have been incompetent and have disappointed you, please punish you!" In charge of directing the attack was the commander of the 6th Regiment, the 11th Infantry Brigade, and the 13th Wing, Nakamura Noshu Daisa, who took the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistake as soon as he entered the door.

Gu Shoufu waved his hand and said: "Nakamura-kun, you don't have to blame yourself in a hurry, tell me, is the heavy artillery you encountered a 150mm heavy artillery equipped with the Imperial Army's heavy artillery brigade?" ”

When Nakamura Noshu heard this, the division commander had no intention of punishing himself, and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, although I am not sure whether the heavy artillery used by the enemy is the heavy howitzer lost by the imperial army, but its power is definitely not under the heavy howitzers of the imperial army's 150mm caliber.

And even more!

Also, the enemy used incendiary shells in conventional shells.

After the explosion and spread of this incendiary bomb, the incendiary material produced cannot be extinguished at all after attaching to the human body.

In addition to causing huge casualties to the imperial army, it also brought a great psychological shadow to the imperial army.

This is also the main reason for the failure of the imperial army's offensive this time! ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! According to the 3rd and 9th Divisions, the Tiger Regiment also used this secret incendiary bomb during the Battle of Zhoukou. ”

After Nakamura Noshu finished speaking, the chief of staff, Shimono Kazuho, followed and added.
