"Commander, what's the matter?" Tang Bing came over and said.

"Look, there are so many tanks in front, find a way to build a tank-centered defense line below." Chen Fei said.

"But you can, I'm afraid that when the devil's heavy artillery comes, it will be self-defeating, if you can have a little more time, you can establish a complete defense system." Tang Bing scratched his scalp and said.

"Then send someone down quickly, and at the same time you discuss it with the two divisions on the left and right, otherwise the devil's next charge may be centered on the tank, in this case, the distance is too close." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I see." After Tang Bing finished speaking, he hurriedly left to make arrangements.

Chen Fei saw that the troops began to dig trenches, so he went downhill.

"Commander, the Military Commission sent an urgent telegram to ask us about the situation here." Liu Xiaomei ran over and said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Ambushed by the devil's army, with heavy casualties, now the sister slope is the defense line to block the devil, the specific number of the devil on the opposite side is not known, it should be a division, and the troops have been shelled by 150 mm heavy artillery." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.

Chen Fei wanted to follow the devil's previous thinking, and he would definitely retaliate, and it was estimated that the devil's large-scale attack would not be long before it came.

But what Chen Fei didn't expect was that until the evening, the devils did not attack for seven hours, and the reconnaissance battalion sent out came back to tell the devils that the defense in front was very strict, and they couldn't understand it at all. Chen Fei was in the small forest headquarters, smoking a cigarette, his heart was in a mess, what was going on, this time it was troublesome, the military committee sent telegrams one after another to him to report the situation, and at the same time ordered not to stay in Sister Slope. Now the 33rd Army is blocking on the spot, and extending the reinforcement of Hengyang, which is disobeying the order and is going to be killed.

"Commander, what's the matter with the devil not attacking? Can you send a force at night to open a way for the whole army? The old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said: "I think the devil didn't attack because he was not sure about opening the sister slope position, so he turned to the defense and blocked us from reinforcing Hengyang, by the way, do you know which devil's army is on the other side?" ”

"The tank unit is the tank wing of the 11th Army, let's kill 25 tanks this time, if it is a tank wing, there should be a lot of tanks opposite, and the infantry should be a 65th division, by the way, just now the Military Commission called, this time the devil group 10 divisions, as for the artillery, there is no detailed material, but there is reliable information, the devil dispatched four or five field artillery wings, two divisions of the air force, I drummed in my heart as soon as I saw it, how to defend this Hengyang." The old steamed bun smiled bitterly.

"The principal means to hold for two weeks, we still have too few troops, 200,000 elites are in Burma, and the troops that can be mobilized by the principal are miscellaneous or Xue Yue's routs except for us and a few of them, two weeks is really difficult, and the pressure on the 10th Army is too great." Chen Fei said.

"Then let's ······ now" The old steamed bun asked.

"Wait one more night, until dawn there is no sneak attack by the devils, let's attack, the small army can't break the devil's defense line at all, attack with all your strength tomorrow, notify me tonight, rest if you can rest, let the cooking classes make a good meal." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I see, I'll get your message across." The old steamed bun said as he left the headquarters.

Ten divisions and regiments have nearly 300,000 people, not including the air force, artillery, and all kinds of directly subordinate troops, damn, no wonder Xue Yue can't hold it, now it's one to one, we are not strong enough to fight with the devil with the same strength, Chen Fei could only smile bitterly when he thought about it.

"Wang Liang, contact Lao Zhangtou and ask them where they are? Let them speed things up. Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Wang Liang replied.

"Report!" Chen Fang came in and said.

"Say." Chen Fei said.

"Commander, the casualty statistics are out, 641 people were sacrificed, 105 people were seriously injured, Dean Sun said that less than 30 people could be saved by these 105 people, and the sacrificed and injured soldiers were basically injured by devil fire." Chen Fang said.

Chen Fei really felt a headache when he listened to Chen Fang's report, and he sacrificed so much in just one face, and he really didn't know how to fight the next battle.

"Commander, Commander!" Chen Fang looked at Chen Fei, who was frowning, and shouted.

"Well, is there anything else?" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei's rhetorical question made Chen Fei not know how to answer.

"Oh, oh, no······ It's okay, then I'll go back. Chen Fang stammered.

Chen Fei nodded, and Chen Fang Chong turned around and bowed his head to leave.

"Ah~" Chen Fang bumped into Liu Xiaomei, who was about to come in.

"Sister Xiaomei." Chen Fang said.

"What's wrong? Why are you so absent-minded? Liu Xiaomei asked.

"No, oh, the commander is in a daze inside, the casualties of the troops are too great, and he is not happy." Chen Fang said.

"Well, who said no, the next battle will be more intense, protect yourself." Liu Xiaomei said.

Chen Fang nodded and left.

Liu Xiaomei looked at Chen Fang's back and thought, silly child, aren't you also sad.

"Report!" Liu Xiaomei walked into the command headquarters.

"Hmm." Chen Fei replied with his nose.

"Commander, we've been notified that the troops may have to move forward." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Yes, if the devil doesn't attack, we can't be here all the time, after all, the Tenth Army of Hengyang is still waiting for us." Chen Fei said.

"Then army commander, do you still want to pull the telephone line with the divisions and regiments, if the troops want to move, I don't think you need to pull it." Liu Xiaomei said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Pull, you still have to pull, but you don't need to go to the regiment, just pull to each division headquarters." ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.

Chen Fei nodded, and Liu Xiaomei said again: "Commander, Mrs. Wen Juan is calling: This battle is of great significance, Changsha is lost, the commission is furious, and Xue Yue is ashamed. There are less than 60,000 formed troops near Hengyang, so Wan Wangfujun is careful······ Be careful! Liu Xiaomei said.

Chen Fei nodded again, he didn't know the battlefield situation, but he was in it, he could only grit his teeth and insist, defending here was the best choice, but he couldn't rescue the 10th Army, and if he advanced, he might fall into the encirclement of devils, and he couldn't be sure if he could rush to Hengyang.

Liu Xiaomei looked at Chen Fei, who was in a trance, and thought to herself, the army commander had never been in a daze in a big war like this, it seemed that the pressure on the army commander was too great, and she could only leave silently.

Chen Fei thought about it for a while and decided to approach Hengyang.

"Wang Liang, Wang Liang, let's go, go see Zheng Laofart." Chen Fei said as he walked out of the headquarters.

The field hospital was not far from the headquarters, and at this time, it was just getting dark, and the burning torches lit up the vicinity of the hospital red.

"Commander, Commander, Commander······" When the doctors and nurses saw Chen Fei coming, they all shouted immediately.

"Where is Old Fart Zheng?" Chen Fei asked a military doctor.

"Oh, here." The medic replied.

Chen Fei said to Old Zheng who was lying on the marching bed smoking a cigarette: "Battalion Commander Zheng, yes, it seems that there is nothing wrong." ”

"Huh? Commander, why are you here, hehe, the orderly quickly gets a chair for the commander. ”

"No, I'll stand." Chen Fei said as he took out the flue.

At this time, Dean Sun came over and said, "The commander is here." ”

"Well, how is Camp Commander Zheng?" Chen Fei said.

"It's not a big deal, I took the shrapnel out, it's fine." Dean Sun said.

"Well, it's okay. Camp Commander Zheng, are you familiar with the path we are taking now? Chen Fei said.

"Is the commander talking about Hengyang?" Zheng Lao said.

"Nonsense." Chen Fei said.

"Familiar, very familiar, this is the official road, if it is normal, you can reach Hengyang in a day and a half." Zheng Lao said.

Chen Fei nodded and asked, "I don't know how many devils are blocking troops on this road?" The Military Commission keeps urging us to attack forward, can you tell me how many commanding heights there are on this official road? What is the flat land? How many corners are there? ”

"I'll make a sand table." Zheng Lao said.

"There's not so much time left, so let's just scratch on the ground." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, Commander, do we have to go this way? There are two other paths to take, but both are trails. Old Zheng said.

"I've seen the map, the other two roads are detours, I can't get to Hengyang in three days, I can only send a small force, we have to go from the official road." Chen Fei said.

"Commander, the official road is not easy to walk, there are countless commanding heights you said along the way, although the devil has just arrived, it is more than enough to stop us." Zheng Lao said.

"This kind of hard-fought style of play is not my style in the first place, but now no matter how difficult it is, I have to break through, and the first time is not enough; Second, the other two trails, the devil will definitely send troops to block them, the roads are narrow, but it is more difficult to break through; Thirdly, there is really no way to say it. If we attack forward, at least the Military Commission will not say anything, and the other troops will have nothing to say, so that the principal can better coordinate the local troops. Chen Fei said.

"Oh······ Commander, I understand, I didn't expect there to be so many Taos in it. In this way, commander, I will lead the troops to open the way, I can do it. Old Zheng got out of bed as he spoke.

Chen Fei looked at Dean Sun, and Dean Sun smiled bitterly and said, "I'll send Sister Cuihua to follow him." ”

"Sister Cuihua?" Chen Fei asked.

"Oh, one of our nurses here, he Camp Commander Zheng didn't look at Sister Cuihua with the right eyes, everyone in our hospital knows it." Dean Sun said.

"Oh, really?" Chen Fei looked at Zheng Laofart, who was touching his nose in embarrassment.

"Hehe, change one, change one, we don't want Cuihua to take risks." Old Zheng said with a smirk.

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Let's go, just follow me to the headquarters if it's okay." With that, he left.

Old fart Zheng winked at Dean Sun and followed Chen Fei away.

The attack is always greater than the defensive sacrifice, this time the difficulty of the 33rd Army's attack can be imagined, the 33rd Army headquarters is brightly lit, and several commanders surround Zheng Lao Fang and listen to him explain the road conditions of the seventy or eighty miles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the situation, I will open the way, and our troops will advance around the military headquarters in a zigzag shape." Zheng Lao said.

"Damn, when will it be your turn to open the way, you old Zheng is familiar, I will open the way for the whole army with you!" Zhao Liuda shouted.

"That's fine, that's fine." Old Zheng smirked.

"Zigzag advancement, such a small road, how to keep the team, the devil fired a heavy cannon, it's all over!" Zhao Liudao.

"Commander Zhao, there are mountain roads on both sides of the official road, not without roads, two divisions are on the left and right, which can not only maintain the troops on the official road, but also clear the devils on both sides." Zheng Lao said.

Everyone looked at each other and thought it was possible.

"That's okay, as soon as Lao Zhangtou's quartermaster office arrives tomorrow, we will act, and the troops will advance quickly and be entangled with the devils, so that the devils' heavy artillery will not be effective." Chen Fei said in a decisive way.

"Yes." The crowd replied.

"When you go back, tell your brothers to grit your teeth, the battle will become more and more brutal, but we must move forward, even if it is a big sacrifice." Chen Fei said loudly.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

This night, it was extremely calm, the devil did not send a soldier to harass, but the trenches of the 33rd Army were almost dug, and even the devil tanks under the slope were lined up and turned into good fortifications, which was Chen Fei's stipulation that the troops must have fortifications in the field,

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Liang ran into the headquarters and said to Chen Fei: "Commander, Lao Zhangtou has arrived." ”

"Okay." Chen Fei looked at his watch and said.

"Do you want to let them take a break, Lao Zhangtou didn't stop for a moment after receiving the order, and he was probably tired and lying down." Wang Liang said.

"No, inform Zhao Liu to act." Chen Fei walked out of the headquarters while speaking, Chen Fei walked out of the headquarters at this moment, the 33rd Army moved, Zhao Liu's independent brigade hid behind the abandoned tank, a sharp howl came, Zhao Liuyi waved his hand, the soldiers of the independent brigade walked out of the bunker and rushed forward, in front of the sister slope is seven or eight acres of open space, the open space is soft, it should have been combed by yesterday's artillery fire, the soldiers can't go fast at all, they can only walk slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time some soldiers fall because they are walking fast.

"Shelling! Shelling! Fast! Fast! Several company commanders shouted, and shells flew whizzing.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The shells exploded in the formation of the fighters, and Zhao Liu's eyes were red and he shouted: "Hurry, hurry, rush forward!" ”

As the most courageous unit of the 33rd Army, the Independent Brigade is receiving the tempering of blood and fire at this moment, and no words can express the tragedy of the war.

"Rush! Rush! If you go back now, you're going to die, and you're going to die! Kill! The shouts of killing one after another can make people's blood boil, and at the same time, they can also make other soldiers feel different heroic.

A large number of soldiers fell and died on the road of the independent brigade, and the soldiers behind continued to move forward, closer, closer, closer, and finally some fighters rushed out of the open space, and suddenly the devils in ambush on the side of the official road all got up and shot at the soldiers of the independent brigade.

"Dada~"

"Bang hook, bang hook!"

The dense bullets knocked down quite a few fighters.

"Get down! Get down! The commander of an independent brigade shouted, presumably the commander of a company that rushed to the front.

"Grenade! Throw grenades! The company commander shouted, and at the same time threw a grenade himself in front of him.

"Boom, boom!" The grenade exploded, but the effect was not ideal, it did not weaken the devil's shooting at all, but attracted the devil's grenade, Zhao Liu held the binoculars, looking at the dust and fog caused by the explosion in front of him, and the smoke of gunpowder, so that he could not see the battle situation in front clearly.

At this time, because the independent brigade had already connected fire with the devil, the devil's heavy artillery had stopped, and suddenly Zhao Liu finally saw in the smoke of gunpowder that the troops had rushed up and connected with the devil at the other end of the clearing.

"! The Separate Brigade is all charged! Kill! Zhao Liuda shouted, and at the same time got up and led the directly subordinate guard company, heavy machine gun company and other troops to start rushing forward desperately.

"Artillerymen, grenadier fire support, fast, fast!" Zhao Liu shouted as he ran.

The Independent Brigade has a total of 24 mortars, before the charge, Zhao Liu arranged for Chief of Staff Chen Hexi to gather all the mortars, and now it is the time to need mortars and grenadiers to support, Chen Hexi took mortars and more than a dozen grenadiers behind the Independent Brigade to brave the devil's artillery fire and bullet rain, and insisted on building an artillery position.

"Launch!" Camp Chief Chen shouted.

"Tom tom!" Shells flew towards the devil's position.

At this time, due to the frontal containment of the independent brigade, the 67th and 68th divisions on the left and right sides successfully crossed the blind spot of the devils in front and began to encircle the devils.

On the sister slope, the old steamed bun looked at Chen Fei and said: "Commander, the casualties of the Independent Brigade are too great, if this is the case, what is the point of us rushing to Hengyang." ”

", doesn't that make sense? Every soldier's sacrifice counts, how the did you be a chief of staff! Chen Fei scolded angrily.

The old steamed bun was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to answer the call, Chen Fei was very annoyed now, the devil's blockade seemed to be very resolute, such a 33rd Army, rushing to Hengyang would really be like what the old steamed bun said, there was no point at all.
