Xu Rui was not aiming at the wing headquarters, but the division headquarters of the 13th Division. 【】

Before Xu Rui fired the artillery, the division commander of the 13th Division, Ogizhou Libing, had already gathered the chief of staff, Nakagawa Hiroshi, and several operational staff officers to prepare for a large-scale counterattack, the intention of this counterattack was to destroy the living forces of the 180th Division as much as possible, even if it could not drive the 180th Division back to the north bank of the Huai River, at least they would not be able to retreat.

However, before the counterattack plan could be formed, the communications staff officer sent to Heights Nine brought back a shocking piece of news.

"Division Commander!" The communications staff officer who was sent almost crawled into the war room, and reported miserably, "The Kono Brigade stationed on the No. 9 Heights was suddenly attacked by the superior forces of the Shina Army, and the position has been broken, and more than 700 people from the Kono Brigade under the captain Kono Shaoza have been collectively shattered. ”

"Nani?!" Ogishu Libing was stunned when he heard this.

This news is like a bolt from the blue for the Ogisu Standing Army, and the Kono Brigade has not been guarding the No. 9 Heights for a day or two, when the fortifications were relatively simple before, they all withstood the onslaught of the 180th Division in turn, and now the Kono Brigade has almost built the entire hill into a fortress, but instead let the 180th Division be completely annihilated?

"What did you say?" After a long time, Ogizhou Libing finally reacted, grabbed the communication staff officer, and roared angrily, "Say it again, repeat what you just said." ”

The communications staff officer stubbornly repeated what he had just said.

"It can't be." Ogishu Libing let go of his hand and said in disbelief, "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa also felt a little incredulous, and asked the communications staff officer: "Ono-san, have you figured out what the hell is going on?" The Kono Brigade has already turned the entire hill into a fortress fortification, not to mention the 180th Division, and the Chinese Army may not be able to take it in a short period of time even if two more divisions are transferred from the north bank. ”

The communications staff officer gasped and said: "According to the report of the defeated soldiers who fled back, the Shina Army sent a small force, although this small force is not many in number, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, they successfully infiltrated and destroyed the Kono Brigade Headquarters, and it is precisely because of the loss of effective command that the Nine Heights will be lost. ”

Ogisu Libing and Nakagawa Hiroshi glanced at each other, and a word flashed in their minds.

Special operations, is it special operations? The squadron actually used special operations?

But Ogisu quickly denied his speculation, how is this possible, how is it possible?

Even in the world, special forces and special operations are still new arms and new tactics that have just emerged, he absolutely does not believe that there will be special forces in the squadron, and he does not believe that the squadron knows how to fight special operations.

You must know that even their Imperial Japanese Army does not have real special forces, and in the strategy and tactics of the Imperial Army, there is no mention of real special operations.

When the two looked at each other, there was a sudden explosion outside the tent.

The explosion was so close that it almost exploded in his ears, so that Nakagawa Hiroshi hurriedly rushed up and threw Ogizhou Libing to the ground, while shouting: "Commander of the protection division, hurry, commander of the protection division!" ”

"Panic what!" Ogizhou Libing was furious, and pushed Nakagawa Hiroshi away, "Go outside and see, what's going on!" ”

Before the words fell, a scream of "sigh" sounded outside the tent, but this whistle sounded quite long, and there should be some distance from the landing point, so Nakagawa Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Nakagawa Hiroshi could rejoice, an incomparably loud bang sounded.

"Boom!" At the same time as this extremely violent explosion sounded, a huge wave of air also violently invaded, and the headquarters of the Ogizhou Division was overturned into the sky, and the Ogizhou Libing, Nakagawa Guang, and more than a dozen combat staff officers in the headquarters were immediately overturned to the ground, and two unlucky eggs were even swept into the sky.

When I looked up again, I saw that the entire sky was completely engulfed by the rolling flames.

After a long time, the aftermath of the explosion finally passed, and Ogizhou stood up strugglingly, only to find that his division headquarters had just been hit by an eighteen-level typhoon, and it had become scattered, and behind the division headquarters, there was a huge fire ball.

Hundreds of barrels of diesel fuel that had been stored there in the open air have been completely devoured.

"Yaga, oil, Yaga, my oil! Yaga. "The soldiers of Ogizhou sat paralyzed on the ground, only scolding their mothers, today's battle, but it was really lost to grandma's house, the salient was eaten by the 180th division, not to mention, the hundreds of barrels of oil hoarded in the division headquarters were also tragically destroyed, how can the offensive on the Huaihe battlefield continue, how can it continue?

At this moment, Ogishu Libing really had a dead heart, thinking so, Ogizhou really pulled out his saber, but after all, he still didn't have the courage to put the knife on his lower abdomen.

(Dividing Line)

This huge explosion also alarmed the Celestial Tigers on the other side of the high ground.

Xiang Tianhu has just received a report from the cavalry battalion commander Tie Gang, saying that he has broken through to the headquarters on the top of the high ground, and at the same time, the 541st Regiment has also sent a signal soldier back to report that the entire battlefield has basically fallen under control, which means that the battle in the salient has come to an end, and Xiang Tianhu took out his pocket watch to look at the time, and it was only half an hour.

In less than half an hour, the devil in the protrusion was simply and neatly solved, and this battle was called a happy battle.

"Rejoice! It's so exciting, it's so exciting! "Shouted three times to the Heavenly Tiger, and in the next moment, there was a loud explosion on the opposite side of the high ground, this explosion was so violent, not only the sound was deafening, but even the shock wave transmitted from the ground was extremely strong, it is completely conceivable how terrible it would be to be in the center of the explosion?

Xiang Tianhu and Yan and Hui looked at each other, what is the situation, over there on the high ground, it should be the devil barracks, right?

Then, Xiang Tianhu and Yan Youhui were shocked to find that flames rose on the other side of the high ground.

The flame rose up hundreds of meters high, almost burning the entire night sky red, until it rolled up a hundred meters in the air, the churning flame finally faded, and then turned into a dull red smoke, and continued to roll high into the sky, while rapidly expanding to all sides, and finally formed an incomparably huge mushroom smoke cloud.

"Your baby, what's going on?" Xiang Tianhu lost his voice.

Yan Youhui shook his head blankly, you ask me, who do I ask?

Although Xiang Tianhu didn't know what was going on in the devil's barracks on the other side of the heights, one thing was certain, that is, the devil must have been unlucky this time.

At that moment, he said to the Heavenly Tiger: "Go, go to the high ground!" ”

After saying that, Xiang Tianhu turned around and left, and Yan Youhui hurriedly followed with the guards.

When Xiang Tianhu walked to the high ground surrounded by Yan Hehui and the guards, the officers and soldiers of the 541st Regiment were cleaning the battlefield there, but it could be seen that all the officers and soldiers were a little absent-minded, Yan and Hui asked the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and the commander of the 541st Regiment was really not there, not only was the regiment commander not there, but all the officers above the platoon commander had run out.

Obviously, these officers all went to the high ground to see the excitement of the devils.

(Dividing Line)

On the top of the high ground, a large group of officers of the 180th Division were watching the devils lively.

"Donkey Day, this time the little devil is miserable."

"This fire is burning, the devils should be cooked."

"It's baked, just in time to taste the taste of the roasted devil."

"If there is no fuel, the devil's iron king will all have to lie on his stomach, and the battle behind him will be easy to fight."

"Nai Nai is a bear, we have had enough of the suffering of the devil Iron King Eight these days, and then it is time for the little devil to taste our power in turn."

The officers knew what the fire meant, and they were all excited.

When Tiegang and several company platoon commanders of the cavalry battalion looked at Xu Rui again, they even worshipped, war is like this, you have the ability, you can lead everyone to win the battle, everyone will worship you, although Tiegang and these companies and platoon commanders are not from the Dameishan Independent Brigade, not Xu Rui's subordinates, but this does not prevent them from respecting Xu Rui.

"Sir Xu, you can really do it, you can hit a second shot at such a long distance."

"Sir Xu, the devil has met you, but it is really eight lifetimes of blood mold."

"Chief Xu, it's really enjoyable to fight with you, it's so enjoyable, it's so ****** enjoyable."

Because of reverence, several company platoon commanders of the cavalry battalion began to call Xu Rui a commander.

Tiegang couldn't help but have a whim, and said: "Brother Xu, otherwise don't go back, stay in the 180th Division, there is a small fight in the ravines and ravines, how can you be so happy as today, isn't it?" As long as you stay, I will let you be the commander of the cavalry battalion, if you don't look down, I will go and tell our division seat to give you a main commander! ”

As soon as Tiegang's voice fell, a voice immediately picked up: "Gangzi is right, Brother Xu, as long as you are willing to stay, don't talk about a main regiment commander, give you a brigade commander!" If you don't think it's fun enough to be a brigade commander, it's not impossible for me to let you be the division commander, how about it? ”

Everyone hurriedly looked back, but saw Xiang Tianhu and Yan Hehui striding over.

The first half of Xiang Tianhu's sentence is true, it just so happens that a brigade commander of the 180th Division was killed, there is a vacancy, if Xu Rui stays, he is really likely to appoint Xu Rui as a brigade commander, of course, Xu Rui really wants to be the brigade commander, in addition to Xiang Tianhu's opinion, he also has to ask for the approval of the army commander Zhang Zizhong, but Xiang Tianhu is confident that this is definitely not a problem.

As for giving the division commander to Xu Rui, this is a pure joke.

But this also shows Xiang Tianhu's appreciation of Xu Rui, he is really tempted.

"Brother, stay, don't go back to that poor ravine." Xiang Tianhu walked up to Xu Rui and said sincerely, "Follow me, and I will give you a brigade of elites when you turn back, so that you can have the opportunity to truly show what you have learned in your life!" ”

"Brother Xu, the master has said so, you can agree."

"Brother Xu, you just stay!"

Yan Youhui and Tiegang also persuaded one after another.
