Under Wei Meng's contact, the commanders and political commissars of several regiments in the surrounding areas all secretly rushed to the agreed secret location.

Sikong Nian briefly explained his overall battle plan to the commanders, and then implemented the specific fighting methods and support locations of each regiment to the commanders of each regiment.

Because some regiments are still unable to come, other regiments will find a way to notify them of the specific battle plan.

Each regiment also knew its specific combat mission, and then quickly left.

This secret combat meeting was only known to Liang Qing, Tang Yu, Lei Zheng, Cao Lixin and others on the Taihang Mountain side, because they all protected Sikong Nian to go to the meeting.

With the support of the Eighth Route Army, Sikong Nian became more down-to-earth.

Both sides are preparing for this big battle, and it is all secret, and only regimental cadres and political commissars know about this operation in order to keep it secret.

Sikong Nian's side has long forbidden bandits and the Eighth Route Army to move around casually, and Tong Xi has been personally responsible for guarding and controlling it with the wolf tooth ghost horse.

The team left by Qi Rui, the wolf tooth ghost cavalry is still led by Tong Xi, and all the fighters of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade are all under the command of Sikong Nian, and these soldiers also have an important task, that is, to ensure Sikong Nian's safety.

Eleven days later, the devil command in the suburbs of Beiping

"Commander! All our troops are in place! Yukio Kasawara reports,

"Today is May 6th! Order the army to enter the mountains tomorrow! Okamura Ninji was also a little excited at the moment, because this was his first large-scale operation since he became commander-in-chief of the North China Front.

He must not lose this battle, because it is about his honor and prestige.

On May 7, 1941, tens of thousands of devils suddenly appeared outside the Taihang Mountain, and the 36th Brigade of the 36th Division in the north was led by Lieutenant General Jing Guancheng, the commander of the division, and more than 1,300 cavalry of the 4th Cavalry Brigade entered the Taihang Mountain.

To the east, the commander of the 110th Division, Mamoru Iinuma, led the 104th Wing and a brigade of the 15th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade into the Taihang Mountains.

To the south, the 41st and 34th Divisions and some other devil units combined together entered the mountains at the same time with the strength of nearly three wings.

Taihang Mountain

"Report to Captain Sikong! Devils from the East! South! Enter Taihang Mountain in three directions at the same time! "Hu Tian ran to report,

"It will take at least two hours for the devils from the north to come over, and it will take an hour and a half for the devils from the east to reach our position! The devils from the south were the first to arrive! Sikong Nian said,

"Captain Sikong! The devils in the south can reach the frontline positions in half an hour! Hu Tian said,

"We're going to beat the devil hard right here! In addition, inform Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao and let their fighters prepare for air support! "Sikong Nian calculates the time very accurately, these are all Qi Rui's good apprentices.

"Captain Sikong! Where did the Eighth Route Army go? Xue Nancheng asked,

"You don't have to worry about this, wouldn't you be able to fight without the Eight Roads!" Sikong Nian arranged for all the bandits to fight the first battle this time, and of course the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Ghost Rider and the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade would take them to fight together.

"It's not! I don't mean more people......"

"The front-line position can't put so many people at all, and besides, the front line has built very strong fortifications, what are you afraid of?"

"Captain Sikong! I'm not afraid! "How could Xue Nancheng be afraid in front of so many people,

"That's right! Captain Sikong, we are definitely not afraid! Leng Duo They also said,

"Since you're not afraid, hurry up and prepare! Remember! Half an hour later, all evacuated positions! Sikong Nian commanded,

"Yes!" There was time to retreat, which made Xue Nancheng feel a lot more at ease.

In the first line of positions, many of the fortifications here were built when Qi Rui was there, and after he left, Sikong Nian sent bandits and the Eighth Route Army to reinforce and expand, and this first front was set up in front of a valley.

The position here is an inverted triangle from low to high, Qi Rui and Sikong Nian said that this is a natural triangle killing formation, because once the battle starts, the positions on both sides will attack the enemy troops attacking the valley without dead angles.

Moreover, this triangular killing array can form a natural cross-fire network against the enemy, which increases the killing effect on the devils.

In addition, this time Sikong Nian will not spare ammunition, let the bandits attack with all their might, the purpose is to cause maximum damage to the devil, as long as the devil is repelled this time, I believe that the devil will not be able to slow down for half a year, and then the Zhengtai Railway will really be in his own hands.

This is the overall plan designed by Qi Rui when he left, and the idea is to refine the implementation of this plan.

The 41st Division and the 34th Division together had three more wings in front of the position, and because they were well camouflaged, the devils could not see the ambush from the surface.

"Report! A valley appears ahead! The vanguard asked if they wanted to move on!? ”

"Keep going!" In charge of the command was the commander of the 41st Division, Moritake Tanabe,

A brigade of devils quickly advanced, so that it was in range, and it was Tong Xi who commanded the battle on the front line, and everyone had to hear her command to attack.

Seeing that the vanguard of the devil brigade was still forty or fifty meters away from the ambush site, Tong Xi gave the order to open fire.

Suddenly, mortars, machine guns, grenades, and all kinds of attacks were fired at full power, and half of the devils in a brigade were lost in an instant.

Tanabe Moritake looked at the direction of the valley with a telescope and said, "It seems that we have already known about the bandits and the eight roads in the mountains!" ”

"Division Commander! The opponent's firepower is too fierce! And occupy a very favorable terrain! We are very passive! ”

"Mortar ready!"

As soon as the devil's mortar bombarded, Tong Xi ordered to stop the attack, and when the devil organized a charge again, she once again ordered full firepower.

At this moment, eight fighters suddenly flew overhead, and there were plaster flags on the tail, but after these fighters flew over, they directly bombarded and strafed the devil army.

Tong Xi knew that it was Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao whose air support had arrived, so he shouted: "Kill!" Hit hard! ”

Originally, this was a valley mouth, and the position was a triangular killing array, but now there are planes strafing and bombing in the air, and the devils of the three wings can only lie down on the spot to avoid bullets and bombing.

The plane fired two rounds and then flew away, and when the smoke cleared, the guns on the opposite position had not stopped.

"Division Commander! We seem to have fallen for it! ”

"Just looking at what you're looking at doesn't mean much! Don't panic! The fighters have already left, and besides, our reinforcements will arrive soon, order the mortars to continue bombing! ”

The mortar bombardment of the devils continued, and under the cover of artillery fire, the devils organized another charge, but they were quickly repulsed.
