Morning light dew, Taierzhuang, 31st Division Headquarters.

"Didi......"

The electric sound sounded, and after a while, the communication company commander hurriedly walked up to Division Commander Chi with a telegram, "Division Commander, the commander of the 52nd Army is calling." ”

"Commander Guan?" Master Chi's expression moved, and he suddenly raised his head, "Read!" ”

The commander of the communications company picked up the telegram and read it aloud: "It is a pity that the army did not come south in time because of the mission, and now I am ordered to attack the enemy's flank and back in Taizhuang with all of it, and we can contact the enemy this afternoon. ”

"Good!" After hearing this, Division Commander Chi perked up and looked around at the officials, "Let the brothers hold on a little longer, the brothers of the Central Army are about to arrive!" ”

"Yes!" The officials agreed loudly, and their spirits were uplifted...... Reinforcements are finally here!

Staff Officer Qu looked at Division Commander Chi and hesitated, "Division Commander, are we organizing more death squads...... Regain lost ground and prepare for a counteroffensive! ”

Master Chi was stunned for a moment, frowning and silent...... Last night's death squad did regain the northwest corner position, but only thirteen of the fifty-seven brothers survived!

Want a position? Want a brother? It's a cruel choice!

Zhangshan, Li Siwei woke up from his dream, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he had heard the movement of the brothers outside the barracks, and this movement made him feel kind and relieved.

Lifting the quilt, Li Siwei sat up slowly, the wound was still a little painful, but it was not very bad...... I didn't hurt my bones this time, as long as the wound didn't crack, it would be healed soon!

Li Siwei gently put his legs down on the bed, but he couldn't put on his shoes at all, so he had to sit back and shout out the door, "Gan Fei!" ”

"Squeak......

The door was pushed open, and Gan Fei hurriedly walked in, "Commander, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Siwei smiled at him reluctantly, "Go, call Ji Kui and Liu Heishui." ”

"Yes!" Gan Fei turned around and hurried away.

Li Siwei sat at the head of the bed, his eyebrows frowning slightly...... With the current strength and weapons and equipment of the three regiments, with appropriate tactics, it is not impossible to destroy the little devils in Chaogou Village! But...... You can't do that, at least not yet!

"Da Da Da ......"

Liu Heishui and Ji Kui hurriedly came, got into the house, and stood in front of Li Siwei, "Commander, what is the task?" ”

Li Siwei glanced at the two of them and smiled, "You two have practiced very hard, and you have sweated so hard!" ”

The two of them smiled, "Regiment commander, what you said, sweat more in training, and shed less blood in wartime!" ”

"Well, just remember!" Li Siwei smiled with satisfaction, paused, and looked at Liu Heishui, "Heishui, how many artillery pieces do we have, how many shells do we have?" ”

Liu Heishui groaned slightly, "There were originally four field guns of seven or five caliber and one hundred and sixty shells in the stronghold on this mountain; Six mortars of 50 caliber with 120 shells...... We brought eight mortars, thirty-six shells, and that's all there was to the artillery. ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded, and looked at Ji Kui again, "Ji Kui, Lao Tzu has put these guys in your hands, only one point, crush the little devil's artillery to Lao Tzu!" ”

Ji Kui was stunned, "Yes!" ”

In the artillery battle of Yedianji, he was injured and went to Zaozhuang, and later Zaozhuang fell, he moved to Yicheng again, and returned to the team there, and now, he hangs the rank of company commander and pulls up the artillery company.

When Liu Heishui heard this, he looked at Li Siwei suspiciously, "Regiment leader, why don't you just kill this little devil?" We have the strength! ”

It's rare to capture the artillery of the little devil, and it's too wasteful to use it like this!

Li Siwei glanced at him and shook his head gently, "Lao Tzu will kill them, but the time has not yet come!" ”

"The time has not come?" Liu Heishui and Ji Kui were both stunned.

Li Siwei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The commander of the war zone has arranged a pocket array in Taierzhuang, and he wants to lure the little devil in and him hard!" However, if we make too much movement here, the little devil will definitely be alert, and if we slip away, it will be a miserable loss! So, until the order for the counteroffensive comes down, we can only hold our ground and drag them here. ”

Liu Heishui suddenly said, "In other words, we can't eat this little devil in one bite, and we can't be depleted by them." ”

Li Siwei smiled bitterly and sighed, "That's it, it's going to be difficult to ......"

Liu Heishui and Ji Kui were silent, the little devil was like the evil wolf who chose people to devour, it was more difficult to trap them than to kill them!

Li Siwei's expression suddenly changed, and his voice sank, "Ji Kui, are you sure?" ”

Ji Kui was shocked, and stood up with a "snap", looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "Yes!" ”

In the wild shop set, he shook the artillery of the Saito detachment without falling behind, and here, he was also confident that the artillery of the little devil would be suppressed! Because at this time, he can be condescending, and he has the firepower that is not weaker than his opponent!

"Good!" Li Siwei perked up, "You guys go and arrange it immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The two said yes and hurried away.

Li Siwei looked at the backs of the two and disappeared at the door, slowly leaned against the wall, and sighed secretly, counterattack! Let's counterattack early, lest you have too many dreams at night!

At the beginning of the rising sun, the 52nd Army went all the way south, and at this time the military headquarters had arrived in Mengzhuang, recovering more than ten villages and towns along the way.

The military headquarters was temporarily stationed in Mengzhuang, and as soon as Commander Guan entered the temporary headquarters, he heard the sound of gunfire in the northeast direction, and he was immediately shocked...... That's the direction of Lanling, how can there be enemies there?

"Jingle Bell ......"

Soon, the phone rang.

Commander Guan hurriedly picked up the phone, and heard Commander Tang's voice ringing on the other end of the phone, "Yudong, Lanling, Xiangcheng have found enemy traces, according to intelligence, it is the enemy ...... Linyi."

"The enemy of Linyi?" General Guan was stunned, "Linyi has fallen?" ”

"No," Commander Tang muttered, "It has been confirmed, Linyi is still in the hands of our army...... There are only more than 5,000 Japanese troops in this force, presumably the reinforcements sent to Taierzhuang by the Sakagaki Division! ”

It turned out that Linyi could not be attacked for a long time, and I heard that the Segu detachment had suffered frequent setbacks in Taierzhuang, so the Sakagaki Division transferred three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade from the Sakamoto detachment, bypassed Linyi, went straight to Taierzhuang, and cooperated with the Seya detachment to fight.

In the area of Xiangcheng and Lanling, the enemy of Linyi who came in a hurry met unexpectedly with the 20th Army Corps and fought a hasty encounter.

Commander Guan already understood, and hurriedly asked: "Commander, the enemy in Linyi is not to worry, our army continues to advance south......

"No," Commander Tang interrupted him, "Yudong, we can't leave our backs to the enemy in Linyi, otherwise it will be easy to suffer from the enemy." ”

Commander Guan was stunned, "However, the commander once promised Division Commander Chi that the 31st Division only needs to withstand for three days, and our division will inevitably move south...... Taierzhuang can't become a second Tengcheng! ”

"Yudong!" Commander Tang's voice sank, "The overall situation is important!" You stop going south, and turn northeast...... We must encircle the enemy of Linyi and eat it together with the enemy of Taierzhuang! ”

"Yes!" Commander Tang had made up his mind, and Commander Guan was powerless to argue.

The sun rose in the east, and the Okamoto brigade left Chaogou Village and slowly advanced towards the Zhangshan stronghold.

Last night, the Sato squadron and the Watanabe squadron attacked the strongholds of Tianzhu Mountain and Kitayama at night, but in the blink of an eye, they were all wiped out, and only a person who was burned beyond recognition fled back, and he swallowed his breath without saying a few words...... This defeat made Okamoto Shaozo tremble!

He firmly believed that the defenders in this stronghold were different from the Chinese troops he had encountered before, they were too cunning!

Okamoto sent a reconnaissance squad overnight, and until dawn, three came back, all with injuries...... This made him completely chilled, where would he dare to carry out any raids? The opponent's detection ability is obviously stronger!

Since you can't play yin, let's come hard!

Okamoto Shaosa gritted his teeth and took advantage of the firepower advantage of Okamoto's brigade to storm the Zhangshan stronghold!

As a model division for the modernization of the Imperial Army, Okamoto was still very confident in the firepower of the Okamoto Brigade: two Type 92 field guns of 75 caliber, four 92 mortars of 70 caliber, 50 890 grenadiers of 50 caliber, 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 38 light machine guns...... This kind of firepower is stronger than the miscellaneous division of the Chinese people!

However, the Zhangshan stronghold was originally built by the Isogu Division, and the firepower in the stronghold was also equipped by the Isogu Division!

Okamoto may have forgotten this, or maybe he just didn't expect that all the weapons in the stronghold had fallen into the hands of the three regiments.

A group of little devils were full of ambition and drove to the forward position of Zhangshan, and the command shot under a low hill four miles away from Zhanshan.

The two field guns advanced to the best firing point, and the artillery squad devils were busy setting up the guns and adjusting the parameters.

The officers and men of Yamamoto's squadron and Kimura's squadron divided into two routes, left and right, quietly approached Zhangshan, and would charge as soon as the cannon sounded.

The former enemy headquarters of the Okamoto Brigade, Okamoto Shaoza raised his binoculars and looked at Zhangshan from afar: the sun shrouded Zhangshan, the trees on the hillside were deliberately cut down, and they were cut cleanly, and the felled trees were scattered on the hillside; A path leads to the stronghold on the mountain, and there are no human figures in sight, but the barrels of guns are exposed outside the tunnel, and the defenders of China are already waiting for them!

Okamoto Shaosa slowly turned his neck and glanced at the Zhangshan stronghold...... Suddenly, he was shocked: the figure of a Type 92 field cannon appeared in his field of vision, right next to the tunnel!

Before he could come to his senses, he saw a flash of fire at the mouth of the cannon...... Okamoto Shaozo suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his liver and gallbladder were cold!

"Shhhh......h

Four shells pounced from Zhangshan and swooped into the positions of the artillery squad.

"Shhhh......h

More shells came in like flying locusts, densely packed!

"Bang bang bang...... Rumble ......"

The positions of the artillery squad were filled with fireworks.

"Bang bang bang...... Rumble ......"

The artillery squad, along with the positions, was engulfed in artillery fire.

Okamoto Shaosa was stunned, and the little devils were also confused...... That's it?!

Zhangshan, in the stronghold.

Liu Heishui looked at Ji Kui and smiled, "Now, the head of the regiment should rest assured, right?" ”

Ji Kui breathed a sigh of relief, "Good luck!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, "Turtle's, the commander of this little devil is either a stupid person, or he is an arrogant maniac......"

Okamoto Shaozo is naturally not a stupid person, but since the battle of Tengcheng, the big and small officials of the Isoya Division have become more arrogant!

At this time, this shelling was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Okamoto Shaoza sober up immediately...... The defenders in the stronghold are far stronger than you think!

"Shaoza," Captain Yamamoto hurriedly came, "did you attack as originally planned?" ”

"No," Okamoto shook his head, "Summons the ministries and retreat!" ”

"Retreat?" Captain Yamamoto was stunned.

Okamoto Shaosa nodded, "Yes, all the departments retreat!" The defenders have strong firepower, and it is not appropriate to storm ......"

"That'......" Captain Yamamoto was puzzled.

Okamoto Shaosa's face stiffened, and he muttered, "I still need ...... Think long-term! ”

Why wouldn't he be embarrassed?

The Zhangshan stronghold is like a hedgehog, although the Okamoto brigade is coming with great momentum, there is no way to start!

The raid failed! There is no chance of winning by storming!

The Okamoto brigade retreated in disarray.

Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he got Feng Zhenyi's report, drag it out, delay it for a moment, delay it for a moment, and wait until the counteroffensive order is down, everything will be easy to do!
