There were not so many artillery pieces on the 8th Road, that's quite sure. Now the Eighth Route can send so many artillery in one go, either the artillery of the puppet 50th Division on the southern front defected to the enemy, or they lost all their artillery. It is absolutely an unforgivable sin for them to conceal such a big matter and not report it, resulting in heavy losses for friendly forces.

And those damned ones, they are all blind air forces, and the aerial reconnaissance information they send is not continuous. Not to mention the number of enemy troops, even they did not see that they had so many artillery. Do their eyes only look to heaven?

The enemy army actually carried a large number of artillery, and such important information was actually ignored. This made Major General Toyoji Okumura extremely angry. He was very negligent in the aviation and made a reproach. For him, this kind of mistake in intelligence gathering is absolutely intolerable.

But he forgot that after he found out about the eight roads in front of him, he was so excited that he didn't even do the necessary battlefield reconnaissance, so he directly launched an attack. If he had reconnoitred in detail, with the Japanese army's consistent battlefield reconnaissance capability, it would not have been impossible for the artillery of the Eighth Route to fall behind.

Major General Toyoji Okumura, who judged the strength of this eight-way force, still based on past experience, made a big mistake in principle. It's just that this guy doesn't want to take responsibility, so he pushes it out if he can. He didn't expect him to do this, which seemed a little extremely inauthentic.

On the one hand, he asked for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he complained behind his back, accusing them of not doing their best when conducting aerial reconnaissance. Reinforcements from the ground forces, it is definitely too late at this time, and the only thing that can save him at the moment may be the aviation forces. But he pushed the responsibility on the heads of others.

This Japanese army major general is not authentic, and this is not the only thing. This old man also put the responsibility for delaying or losing the ground battle on the puppet army around him at the first time. I have long forgotten that I insisted on changing my combat intentions and insisting on launching a general attack before dark, so as to completely eliminate this eight-way force in one go.

It's just that this guy is crazy no matter what, or to shirk responsibility, but at the moment there is nothing he can do about the situation in front of him. The Japanese army, which was blocked by dense firepower, would have found a way to stand out if it could have been highlighted, and it would have been necessary to wait for his order? These Japanese troops are not stupid, they would rather be exposed to the bombardment in the bare ravines than retreat?

Many times the Japanese army is indeed a tendon, and it is a little dull in tactics. But this does not mean that the heads of junior officers of the Japanese army are really made of granite. It's just that for the Japanese troops trapped in the valley on the flanks of Luofengling, heaven is far away, but hell is very close. Because for them, they are already in hell.

The Japanese troops in the valley on the flank of the main peak of Luofengling tried to withdraw from the valley many times but never succeeded. And Major General Toyoji Okumura on this side made a mistake in his own decision-making, which led to the Japanese army having no room to fight back. I could only watch my subordinates struggle under the shells of the Eighth Road.

The puppet army division commander wanted to retreat, but was dispelled by Major General Okumura Toyoji Tie Qing's face. And this Major General Toyoji Okumura watched his subordinates under artillery fire in pain*, but there was nothing he could do. Just as he forced the puppet army commander with a gun, he turned around and pulled his men out of the fire pit.

But he was stunned to find that the face of the puppet army division commander beside him suddenly became extremely pale with a telegram he had just received. Even without his consent, all the front-line troops were hurriedly withdrawn. This made Major General Toyoji Okumura feel very annoyed.

It's just that his adjutant, after muttering a few words in his ear, Major General Okumura Toyoji's face also became very pale. But looking at his own troops who were under artillery fire at the moment, his face changed and he insisted that the puppet army stop retracting. Continue to forcibly launch an attack on the position of the main peak of Luofengling in order to relieve the Japanese troops over there.

Regarding this old man's toughness, the pseudo-division commander was not satisfied: "Major General Okumura, our headquarters is about to give way to the Eighth Road." At this time, you are asking me to rescue your hopeless troops? Isn't that a bit too much for you? ”

"If Gaoping is really captured by the Eighth Road, and our headquarters is ended by the Eighth Road, but we fail to return in time, I'm afraid your superiors won't be able to spare you. How many of your men do you have left? Just for the sake of such a few people, you actually let us not even take care of the headquarters, this deal is too cost-effective for us. ”

"Aren't you still half a squadron by your side? Although the artillery over there is no shells, aren't they serious Japanese officers and soldiers? Since your Japanese army is far superior to ours in combat, I think you have fewer troops, but there is no problem in rescuing your troops. ”

Major General Toyoji Okumura didn't pay attention to the words of this pseudo-division commander at all: "Gaoping is attacked by the Eighth Road, and the surrounding imperial garrisons will naturally be rescued." But you must cooperate with me now to defeat these eight paths once and for all. If you dare to retreat without permission, then I will enforce military discipline. ”

This threat of Major General Toyoji Okumura, if it is placed before the Eighth Road starts over there, this puppet army division commander is still a little taboo. After all, in the hands of Major General Toyoji Okumura, there are still quite a few troops. But at the moment, most of the living forces were covered by Li Ziyuan's artillery fire. At present, Major General Toyoji Okumura's account, this puppet army division commander has not bought much.

Not only did he not buy it much, but he also didn't pay attention to the threat of this Major General Toyoji Okumura at all. Not only did it not stop the move to gather troops, but on the contrary, it accelerated its progress. Major General Toyoji Okumura, who was furious by the puppet army's actions, immediately ordered himself to be the half of the squadron guards that he still had in his hands to stop the puppet army division commander from disobeying the order.

It's just that I originally planned to let these guys try what is called the Iron Fist of the Imperial Army, Major General Toyoji Okumura, but he forgot that he has half a squadron in his hands at the moment. He had a gun in his hand, but beside him, there was a pistol company with a Dagu flower maker and a shell gun.

His guards had just reached the commander of the Wang puppet army major general with a bayonet rifle in one hand. But he didn't expect that the pistol company behind the major general suddenly surrounded him either with a flower trap or a shell gun. The muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at Major General Toyoji Okumura and his guards.

This guy is from the original old Northwest Army. And according to the tradition of the old Northwest Army, all units with pistols. All are the most well-equipped and combat-ready troops. Even at critical moments, troops that can be used as steel knives. The most important thing is that these troops with pistol numbers are the most hardcore henchmen of the military commander.

These people, who only obeyed their own commanders, saw that the Japanese soldiers actually pointed their bayonets at their commanders. It doesn't matter what his current identity is, he doesn't need to give an order to surround him. Even a considerable part of them officers and soldiers have opened the insurance with weapons in their hands. As long as the Japanese troops in front of them made the slightest move, they would not pull the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this guy's henchman, he was so bold that he pointed the muzzle of the flower machine in his hand at himself. Major General Toyoji Okumura was taken aback, but he also regretted it in his heart. At this time, his mind was completely calm, and he knew that it would definitely not be beneficial for him to break up at this time.

The guards around him are not only inferior to the other party in terms of numbers, but also the flower mechanism in the opponent's hand is far stronger than the Type 38 rifle in close combat. If there is infighting now, it will not only be of considerable benefit to the Eight Roads. At the same time, you will also suffer a big loss. At least when the bayonets of their own guards pierced the opponent's chest, the opponent would also beat themselves into a hornet's nest.

At the critical moment when the two sides were tense, they didn't think that the major general on the other side was qualified to be on a par with him, and dragged him to hell together. Major General Toyoji Okumura, who adheres to the principle that heroes do not suffer losses in front of him, flinched first and waved his hand to signal his guards to put away their guns.

He ordered his guards first, and the weapons in their hands were not pointed at each other, but it did not mean that there was a possibility of reconciliation between the two sides at the moment. The problem that the two people are facing now is itself a problem that cannot be solved. It's like trying to tell if there comes the chicken or the egg.

In the end, it was Li Ziyuan on the main peak of Luofengling on the opposite side who broke the deadlock in front of him. During the quarrel between the two major generals, the battle situation on the front line of Luofengling changed drastically. With a loud trumpet on Luofeng Mountain, Li Ziyuan put in the last force of the all-out counterattack.

Li Ziyuan, who obviously doesn't have a lot of appetite, adheres to the posture of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. After his own artillery inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese troops on the flank of Luofengling, he invested the only company reserve in his hands. The two companies that had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle against the puppet 50th Division were temporarily reduced to one company, and all of them were put into an all-out counterattack against the Japanese army.

With the sound of the trumpet, this company that had watched his comrades fight bloodily before, and he could only accumulate enough strength in the back. Like a tiger coming down the mountain, he held a rifle with a bayonet. With the cooperation of the remaining forces of the frontal front-line blocking force, the Japanese troops who could still stand up at this time and rushed out towards the bottom of the mountain.

After launching a counterattack, Li Ziyuan quickly ordered the artillery, except for leaving one mountain cannon and two mortars to form a supporting fire to cover the counterattacking troops. The rest of the artillery fire was all reversed and instead launched a counterattack against the frontal puppet army. At the same time, Liu Siming, who was at the forefront, was ordered to organize those who could still pick up guns to cut off the connection between the Japanese puppet army in order to ensure the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army.

Li Ziyuan's purpose is very clear, to use the remaining artillery shells and a small number of troops to contain the puppet army. All the forces that can still be concentrated are used to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. So his counterattack on the front is basically based on bluffing. But the counterattack on the flanks was a real all-out effort.

The soldier with the bayonet rifle in his hand, the light and heavy machine guns that had been fully displayed at this time behind him, were almost under cover at any cost. and one mountain artillery and one mortar, which were turned into precision artillery strikes. The Japanese army, which was still standing on the flank at this time, launched a final attack.

And after most of the artillery fire from Luofengling shifted the target, the Japanese army, who was finally relieved, found themselves in a desperate situation at the first time. A large number of eight paths seem to have come out of the ground, coming from their front and two wings.

I wanted to resist, but I was suppressed by a large number of light and heavy machine guns from the other side, and I couldn't even lift my head. The few remaining crooked sub-machine guns had just been erected, and they were not blown into parts by the opponent's accurate* people with guns. It was blocked by the machine gun fire on the opposite side.
