Now on the entire battlefield, Li Ziyuan's position is the highest. Now that Li Ziyuan does not allow them to go up, they must obey orders. Although he was the commander of a machine gun company during this Red Army period, the regiment commander who was a veteran in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui period was much more senior than Li Ziyuan. But you can usually be unconvinced by Li Ziyuan, but no one dares to disobey orders on the battlefield.

The battlefield discipline in the Eighth Route Army was extremely strict. No matter how old you are, if you disobey an order, the least possible thing is dismissal. At this time, when I went to the battlefield, I didn't say that I was giving a chance. If you disobey orders on the battlefield, no one will tolerate you. You can lose the battle on the battlefield, but if you disobey the battlefield order, there is nothing to say.

The first of the three major disciplines and eight points of attention is to obey orders and listen to commands. This order is not for a few individuals, but for the whole army. In the Eighth Route Army, which was forbidden by order, no one dared to disobey, otherwise why set up a political commissar. Therefore, no matter how unwilling these two are, they can only obey Li Ziyuan's orders.

The two people who had no choice but to let the running panting troops be put on standby by by the political commissar for a temporary rest. The regiment commander relied on the temporary headquarters set up by Li Ziyuan on the artillery position of the Japanese puppet army, drooling while looking at the captured mountain artillery over there, while waiting for Li Ziyuan to give an order.

It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't see the head of the regiment who was relying on him to leave, but he didn't see it at all. Just holding a telescope, there to constantly observe the battle situation. It wasn't until the radio station that was behind at the turn arrived that the sweaty confidential staff officer who ran with the radio handed a telegram to Li Ziyuan, and Li Ziyuan made a different move.

After Li Ziyuan took it and looked at it, he just said to the confidential staff officer: "Call back to the military region, our department has already fought a fierce battle with the headquarters and directly subordinate troops of the Wang puppet Sixth Front Army that broke through the siege of Jincheng, as well as the seventh division of the puppet army and the first division of the Japanese army. Now that it is impossible to leave the battlefield, the military region is requested to transfer the battle at the junction of Gaoping and Changzhi to the command and responsibility of the four divisions. ”

Just when the confidential staff officer finished recording Li Ziyuan's callback, turned around and was about to leave. After pondering for a while, Li Ziyuan said: "Add a sentence to the telegram, I have now fought fiercely with the enemy of Jincheng for six hours, give me another eight hours, and I promise to completely annihilate the enemy of Jincheng breakthrough." ”

After the confidential staff officer left, the regiment commander who had come in reinforcements and the political commissar who had completed the placement of the troops and rushed over couldn't help but look at each other. At present, this old man's whole army is going south, and he has not received orders from his superiors at all. And the tone is still so loud, giving him eight hours to guarantee the total annihilation of the enemy in front of him.

In front of him, there were not only one formed division and two regiments directly under the puppet army, but also artillery, baggage, engineers, and garrison troops, plus military police, Japanese police, and armed expatriates. In one breath, your brother actually wants to stew so many Japanese puppet soldiers in one spoonful, where did you get such a big appetite.

With so many Japanese puppet troops, they are giving you eight hours to annihilate them all, isn't this a bit too much? Even the division commander back then probably didn't dare to say this. If it can't be solved in these eight hours, not to mention that your troops are disabled, I'm afraid that the surrounding Japanese reinforcements will also arrive.

It's just that for the incredulous expressions on these two faces, Li Ziyuan didn't see it at all. After the confidential staff officer went to relay the telegram, Li Ziyuan held the telescope again and continued to pay all his attention to the battlefield that had been chaotic at the moment.

As time passes, the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. It turned out that the blocking troops here were compressed by Li Ziyuan and organized into a reinforced battalion, and they were also put into the battlefield from the direction of He Sanliang. And the newly arrived regiment with full strength was never thrown into the battlefield by Li Ziyuan.

This fierce battle was fought from the early morning to the afternoon, and both sides, who were already exhausted, were still holding on with their willpower. But the puppet army is not a Japanese army after all, and it does not have such tenacious willpower, and the decline has been constantly showing at this time. After the entire formation was completely disrupted and divided, there were constantly small groups of puppet troops disarming and surrendering.

Liu Haishan, who was fighting a fierce battle with the main force of the Japanese army that was breaking through with Jincheng, also put the last bit of reserves at hand into it. The Japanese army, which has always been known for its tenacious willpower, finally did not withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army, which was even more tenacious than their willpower. The original formation, which had always been as complete as possible, was divided into more than a dozen large and small pieces.

And when the two armies were fighting together before, they could only watch Zhou Tong, who was in a hurry on the chaotic battlefield, after discussing with Liu Haishan. Liu Haishan slowed down the momentum of the attack slightly, and his mortar immediately pushed forward to the point where the two armies were engaged, smashing * into the Japanese who were divided and standing back to back in an attempt to make a final resistance.

Zhou Tong's artillery participation in the battle became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army. With the explosions one after another, Japanese soldiers were constantly killed and wounded. The remaining Japanese troops wanted to stand out, but they were blocked by the dense fire of the eight roads in front of them. Liu Haishan's tactical adjustment, although the progress was a little slower, but his own casualties were also greatly reduced.

Liu Haishan has undergone tactical adjustments, and with the support of Zhou Tong's mortar fire in advance, he is now fighting more and more easily. And the other troops participating in the Ludong Army Division, under the command of He Sanliang, also successively solved the main force of the puppet Seventh Division. Two of the three regiments were largely annihilated, and the remaining one and a half battalions of the remaining regiment were already in a situation where they were powerless to resist.

On the entire battlefield, only the special service group directly under the puppet front army, as well as the teaching group, are still trying to continue to resist. The pistol battalion, which protects the puppet headquarters organ, is also desperately resisting. The troops of the Fourth Division are still clinging to it. Although it also killed and injured most of the troops, it was difficult to solve it for a while.

The situation on the battlefield changed, Li Ziyuan did not hesitate at all, and handed the telescope in his hand to the regiment commander and political commissar who were by his side before saying: "Now it's your turn, and your main direction of attack is one, that is, the location of the headquarters of Wang's puppet Sixth Front Army." ”

"Enemies in other directions, you don't need to worry about it. Your task is to cooperate with the troops of the four divisions to completely break the resistance of their headquarters organs. It can be said that whether or not this battle can be won completely is in your hands. Do you have this faith, if not, I can replace it with someone else. ”

Li Ziyuan's radical remarks were undoubtedly quite unacceptable to the regiment's commander and political commissar. I've been on standby here for several hours, and I can only watch the excitement of the troops in front, but I can only wait honestly in the back, which has made these two save up their strength.

Now Li Ziyuan's suspicious words have stimulated these two conservatives. After the two of them glanced at each other, they said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured, even if we beat the last person left, we will also complete the task." The brothers fought tenaciously, but we were definitely not bad. ”

For the unanimous assurance of these two, Li Ziyuan smiled and said: "I don't like to use my mouth to perform, but to fight with real knives and guns." Your troops are almost the same, and it is only when the mules go to the battlefield that they know about it. What I want to see is how you behave on the battlefield. ”

Li Ziyuan's words fell, and after the two of them glanced at each other, after giving Li Ziyuan a standard military salute, they didn't say anything more, turned around and set off immediately with the troops. Looking at the backs of the two people, a smile appeared on Li Ziyuan's lips. Said to Wang Jun beside him: "Blow the trumpet of the charge and give the order for the general attack." ”

Wang Jun, who received the order, waved his hand at the row of more than a dozen soldiers who had already stood behind him without the slightest hesitation. When the loud charge horn representing the general attack order resounded throughout the battlefield, the various participating troops, who were already extremely tired, immediately regained their spirits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Inspired by the Charger, the final general attack was launched against the Japanese puppet army in front of him. And Li Ziyuan put it on the battlefield, this unit that recuperated for several hours, became the last straw that crushed the enemy. This group was stimulated by Li Ziyuan's radical generalization, and it was like going crazy.

After going to the battlefield, he didn't care about the entanglement of scattered Japanese puppet armies in other directions, and went directly to the headquarters of the puppet Sixth Front Army. After this new force appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the puppet army that was still resisting quickly slipped to the bottom. Some of the puppet soldiers who were still resisting before completely gave up the will to resist.

From the first person to lay down his weapons and disarm, surrender was like a plague spreading rapidly. First, the remnants of the puppet Seventh Division that couldn't resist, and then even the puppet direct spy regiment and teaching regiment, which had the most tenacious resistance before, began to disarm and surrender one after another.

The puppet army that disarmed and surrendered was escorted off the battlefield in batches. And as the puppet army began to disarm in large numbers, the gunfire on the battlefield gradually became scarce. Except for the remnants of the Japanese army and the puppet pistol battalion, which continued to resist, and an hour after the general attack was launched, most of the remaining puppet troops had all surrendered after exhaustion.

After nearly a day of fierce battles, the Eighth Route participating in the battle has been exhausted to the peak, and these puppet troops are also exhausted. After handing over their guns, many puppet soldiers sat on the ground with a kettle and poured water into their mouths desperately. is numb, and he can't even care about the corpse of the robe next to him.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Li Ziyuan said to Wang Jun: "Tell Liu Haishan that I am giving him half an hour, and the remaining Japanese army must be completely resolved." Let Zhou Tong fully cooperate with him, and don't be reluctant to shell. By this time, the life of a warrior was more important than anything else. ”

Just after Wang Jun turned around and left to convey the order, the confidential staff officer handed a telegram to Li Ziyuan. After receiving the telegram, Li Ziyuan looked at it carefully, and unexpectedly did not say anything. just silently put the telegram in his pocket, and rushed to the direction where the puppet army was still resisting with the guards.

As for the contents of the telegram, except for the severe criticism given by the head of the military region for Li Ziyuan's practice of acting on his own initiative without waiting for a reply from his superiors. There is also a very important order, that is, to send the puppet commander-in-chief of the Sixth Front Army alive to the military district headquarters.

On the telegram, the military region also named some cultural relics and treasures that this Tanglin thief, who had stolen and excavated the most luxurious tombs of Qianlong and Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, had been carrying with him. The telegram even made a detailed list of these artifacts and treasures, demanding that they must be safely delivered to the military district.
