Chapter 1109: Wulitun

Of course, Chen Qingzhi naturally handed over these trivial matters to others, and his eyes were still focused on the battlefield.

The Chennault Air Force, which had great expectations, did not come to the skies over North China, which made many people quite disappointed, but anyone with a little strategic vision can actually understand why Lao Chiang made such an arrangement.

After all, when supplies are cut off, the consequences are unimaginable.

During this time, the battle between Yan Laoxi and the devil won and lost each other, but the stalemate could not be broken, the frontline was fighting day and night, the war on one side had just been extinguished, and the war on the other side had already sounded.

Both sides are trying to create a more favorable environment, but the front remains deadlocked.

In order to break the deadlock, both sides have exhausted all means!

But the result was not as good as expected, whether it was the devil or the Huaxia army, there was no way to occupy the enemy's position for a long time, the two sides came and went, but it was difficult to advance and expand the results, because both sides had enough soldiers to replenish!

……

Wulitun, a small mountain village that was not noticed at all, but because of the war, it made it famous!

Because of this small Wulitun, there are no less than tens of thousands of casualties on both sides of the enemy!

The topography of Wulitun is very interesting, outside the tun is a small river that is not too wide but not too narrow, this small river directly around the Wulitun came to a sharp turn, so that Wulitun formed a favorable defensive position surrounded by the river on three sides, and at the same time, the terrain of Wulitun is higher than the surrounding more than 100 meters, so that here is an excellent attack position, once the artillery position is placed on it, the idea is to effectively suppress the surrounding enemy.

At the beginning, this position was in the hands of a regiment of the Northwest Army, Wulitun was not big after all, and it was already the limit to be able to put down a regiment, and any more would be purely a target for the enemy's artillery.

If you say that this Wulitun is here alone, it is a big deal to bypass it, but on the contrary, there are two mountain ranges on both sides of this Wulitun, and the mountains are occupied by the two armies respectively.

In this way, the geographical location of Wulitun is very important, because no matter which side wants to attack, then it is this Wulitun that must be captured first.

You can say that the commanders of the two sides are competing, or you can say that the two sides want to attack, and the surrounding area of Wulitun is the best terrain.

In short, around this Wulitun, repeated battles broke out again and again.

And now, Wulitun is in the hands of devils.

……

"Third Regiment Commander, this time you are the first meritorious, the task is severe, I don't need to introduce Wulitun more, you also know the situation there, the task I give you is to take Wulitun as quickly as possible, and then respond to the follow-up artillery to build a position to cover the attack of the whole division!"

Liu Ji said to the commander of the third regiment under his command, Liu Ji is the brigade commander of the independent brigade, and this time the task was personally ordered by the commander's department, in addition to the use of two divisions, it was also supported by twelve heavy artillery.

It is said that this time it is the elite of the Central Army, and a German armor division is ready to insert the heart of the devil from here, and these people are just to open the way for the elite of the Central Army, and the task of Liu Ji's entire brigade is only to take Wulitun, and the friendly forces of the other two divisions only need to break through the first line of defense of the devil, and the rest of the matter can be completely handed over to the elite of the Central Army.

It is said that this is a big plan, but the staff officers of the Commander's Department have been planning for a long time, and in addition to this German armor division, there are almost 120,000 troops ready to support here at any time.

Liu Ji didn't know the overall plan, because after the last intelligence leak, the combat order was almost always issued before the start of the war, even now, his brigade was ready to go to the battlefield, but as a brigade commander, he didn't know what the goal was this time.

However, looking at Wulitun in front of him, Liu Ji always had a bad feeling in his heart.

The small Wulitun, I don't know how much artillery bombardment it has withdrew, the original hillside has been flattened a lot at this time, and you can still see from a distance that in the scorched black land, the devil soldiers in khaki military uniforms are cleaning the trenches.

As for the originally clear river, it was already muddy, and there was already some congestion at the bend of the river, but what was congested with them was countless corpses, both enemy and enemy.

Because there was no one to salvage, they were densely packed together.

"Hey, what the hell this place is!"

Liu Ji shook his head and sighed, but the military order was like a mountain, and he could only give the order to attack!

The trumpet sounded, and hundreds of warriors rushed out in black pressure, some carrying improvised rafts in their hands, and some warriors simply holding wooden planks, sticks and the like.

Because the river is not wide, a warrior with good water skills can even rush through it with only a piece of wood!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The cannon rang out suddenly, but instead of attacking the charging warriors, the shells rained down behind them.

I don't know if it's really because the terrain of Wulitun is a little higher so it has an advantage, or if there are other reasons, in short, these shells can hit the rear position.

At the same time, the covering artillery fire also sounded, smashing down towards Wulitun, but it was obvious that the artillery fire was not intensive, as if it was deliberately leaving hands to prevent the Wulitun from being completely blown up.

No one knows what the chiefs think, obviously Wulitun is such a big place, and it is completely possible to clean up the devils on it, but the commanders just don't give such an order, even the devils on the other side.

With each repeated attack, the artillery always fired a few symbolic shots, and the rest was handed over to the infantry!

It's as if the commanders of both sides agreed to lose a large number of their own soldiers in this Wulitun!

The fighters do not understand so much, but they do not forget their tasks.

"Rush! Kill the devil! ”

A soldier kept rushing into the river and then swam towards the front, and at the same time, the devils stationed on it also shot back, and another round of scramble began, blood flowed, and the sound of gunfire was accompanied by the loss of countless lives......

"Your Excellency General, my subordinates don't understand, why don't you use heavy artillery to smash that Wulitun? The warriors of my empire don't need that little Wulitun as a support point at all, on the contrary, there, the imperial warriors shed too much blood! ”

A devil officer asked his division commander in confusion.
