Chapter 189: Marching into Shanxi!
Seeing that the machine gunner and more than a dozen devils died together, Xu Wen's eyes suddenly moistened, and he raised the submachine gun in his hand and chased the devil behind him!
The chasing devils fell in pieces, and Brother Wang, who had already retreated to the main position, turned around and didn't see Xu Wen, he shouted loudly: "Xu Wen! Xu Wen! Where are you, dog? With that, he ran back down the traffic trench.
At this time, the submachine gun in Xu Wen's hand kept shooting, and the devils who had just rushed into the traffic trench were swept to the ground one after another, and Xu Wen roared like crazy: "The little devil is coming!" Come on! ”
The two devil infantry held bayonets and wanted to quietly go around behind Xu Wen, when a string of gunshots rang out behind them, and the two devil soldiers fell to the ground in response.
Brother Wang's thunderous shout sounded behind Xu Wen: "Xu Wen, you fucking retreat!" ”
But Xu Wen didn't seem to hear it, and he was still firing wildly at the devil! Seeing that there were more and more devils, Brother Wang strode forward, grabbed Xu Wen with one hand, and kept shooting at the devils with a gun in the other, and said loudly: "Hurry up!" Otherwise, it's all over! ”
While speaking, Brother Wang was shot in the left leg, and with a thud, he fell to his knees on one knee! At this time, Xu Wen seemed to have just woken up from a dream, he set up Brother Wang with one hand, and then stepped back and left, the submachine gun in his hand kept firing backwards to block the chasing devils.
Brother Wang endured the pain and said, "Boy, let go of me, you quickly retreat!" Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave! ”
"Brother Wang! Stop it! I won't leave you! Xu Wen gasped.
Brother Wang pulled the trigger to knock down the two closest devils who were chasing, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't make a mistake, neither of us can go if you drag me like this!" Hurry up! I understand your intentions, now that you are a qualified soldier of the Reading Army, let me go and retreat! ”
"I don't! From the first day I entered the force, I learned not to be abandoned, not to give up, this sentence, but I have never been able to understand the meaning of this! Today I understood! Don't abandon, never abandon any of your brothers, comrades-in-arms! Don't give up, don't give up until the end! We are brothers! Xu Wen swallowed a little.
At this time, the bullets of the submachine guns in the hands of the two of them had been exhausted, and the two threw the submachine guns to the ground, and Brother Wang pulled out his pistol and said, "Good brother!" You will always be my good brother! ”
"Hmm!" Xu Wen nodded and said, "Big brother!" I can fight and die with you, brother, I am happy! ”
"Good! Don't seek to live together, but to die together! Good brothers! Brother Wang said that the pistol in his hand was not idle, and he put down several devils in a row.
Soon all the bullets of the two of them were gone! At this time, they had been surrounded by about dozens of devils, the two of them back to back, their eyes coldly swept over every soldier around, and the two of them pulled out the ghost-headed machete from behind their backs at the same time.
At this time, a devil squad leader said in stiff Chinese: "You are very brave, I admire you very much, quickly put down your weapons, and say that this imperial army treats prisoners preferentially!" ”
"Phew! Fuck you, the Reader Army only has the dead and no surrenderers! If you want Lao Tzu to disarm and surrender, do your mother's spring and autumn dreams! Xu Wen scolded sharply.
"Well done, brother! That's right! Since the beginning of the Lijun attack on Nanjing, there has never been a single mischief who surrendered! The military seat has said it from now on! Even if you want to die, you have to die like a man on the way to charge! Brother Wang said loudly.
After speaking, Brother Wang took off the military hat on his head and wiped the cold ghost-headed machete in his hand with him. The two raised their steel knives almost simultaneously.
Then he said sharply in unison: "Three in a row!" Offensive????! After saying that, the two of them rushed forward???????
The two of them slashed and killed several devil soldiers in a row, and at this time, Xu Wen was stabbed in the right shoulder, and Brother Wang's right leg was also stabbed with a bayonet.
Blood was pouring out of their wounds, but they didn't know it, they only had one thought at this time, and that was to pull a few more pads on their backs before they died!
Just when the two of them were gradually falling apart, a series of gunshots and the shouts of the soldiers sounded from behind the devil! Xu Wen looked back and saw that Liu Changsheng, the commander of the third company, was rushing towards them with nearly a hundred soldiers.
Hundreds of meters away, Liu Changsheng held a light machine gun in his hand and shouted while firing fiercely: "The third company is here!" Little devils are not afraid of death, come on! ”
At this time, a large group of soldiers either from the traffic ditch, and some from the flat ground to carry out a counter-charge towards the army! Behind Liu Changsheng and them, there were more Reading Force soldiers jumping out of the trenches and rushing towards them!
For a time, the entire battlefield fell into an extremely fierce battle, and the Reading Force fought back, and the powerful and dense light weapon firepower suddenly dizzy the attacking Yue Army.
It turned out that the first regiment of the first division had arrived, and with the reinforcements of the first division, Ling Tianbao's confidence suddenly increased, and he had been pressed and beaten by the little devils for the past two days! He also held back the fire in his heart!
Immediately ordered the troops to counterattack on all fronts, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Ninth Division, which was the main attacker! Soon, the soldiers of the 2nd Division on the battlefield were engaged with a large group of Japanese troops, and the initial firepower gradually evolved into a tragic white-knuckle battle.
Both sides are engaged in the most primitive and tragic struggle to the death, everyone has the idea of either you die or I die, and the shouts and insults of the whole battlefield are endless!
Because the 2nd Division was counterattacking on all fronts, the 35th Wing, which was in charge of the attack, was defeated and retreated, but the 9th Division quickly reacted and sent the remaining three wings almost all together into the battlefield.
The two sides soon formed a white-hot phase of stalemate, and finally the frenzied devils threw two wings of the 6th Division into battle.
The soldiers of the Second Division had been fighting fiercely for a long time, and soon the situation on the battlefield changed, more and more devil soldiers poured into the battlefield, and more and more of the soldiers of the Reading Army fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing that the second division was about to be unable to support it, a large group of soldiers of the Reading Army wearing white uniforms and holding dazzling bayonets appeared from the northwest direction of the battlefield.
Niu Tiangui took off his colonel's uniform, then threw it aside, and waved the big knife in his hand: "Brothers, kill!" ”
"Kill!" The thousands of Readpower soldiers behind him shouted, the bayonets in their hands, and suddenly crushed the battlefield like a flood of absolute mention.
After a long march, the first regiment rushed to the second division, and after a short two hours, it had recovered its strength, and at this time, the second division had been fighting with the devils for nearly two hours.
With Niu Tiangui and thousands of physically strong warriors joining, soon the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed, and the morale of the Reading Force was greatly boosted! Every soldier roared and lunged forward! The wounded soldier pulled the grenade on his body with a few devils in his arms.
The entire battlefield immediately appeared to one side, and the Reading Force pressed the devil to fight, and the devil slowly turned from the initial retreat to a rout, and then to a rout.
Although the army sent the last reserve troops, it was to no avail, and the devils on the battlefield were defeated too quickly. And the reading force is unforgiving, and they beat the water dogs one after another! The Great Pursuit began!
??????
Division headquarters of the 6th Division.
"What? The rout of our army on all fronts? The commander of the Sixth Division, Ichiro Saki, said with a look of disbelief: "Didn't I already send a reserve wing?" How did it rout so quickly? ”
"Your Excellency, General, due to the sudden addition of an extremely powerful Chinese army! That's why the imperial army will be beaten and have no power to fight back! "The man who was covered in blood said that the army was in the middle of the road.
"A strong squadron?" Ichiro Saki asked with a look of disbelief.
"Yes!" The Nakazuo suddenly bowed his head and said: "The combat effectiveness of this branch of the people in the white-knuckle battle is far higher than that of our imperial army warriors, and often the three imperial army warriors are not the opponents of this army!" It can be said that our division and the ninth division were defeated by this army! ”
"Yaga! The Reading Force has such a strong combat force, it seems that it was only their motley troops who fought with us before, and this force is their main force! Ichiro Saki said with some anger.
"General! You'd better give the order to retreat! Otherwise, all the warriors of our Sixth Division will be eaten by the Zhina! "That Nakasa said.
"What about the Ninth Division?" Ichiro Saki asked.
"The commander of the Kamura Division has already moved to battle with the second and third brigades of chariots! The soldiers of the 9th Division, who had lost their command, had already fled on all fronts! Nakasa replied.
"Yaga Tooth Road! Kamura, bastard! The scum of the empire escaped with the chariot wing without permission! Dead, dead, drip! Ichiro Saki said angrily.
"Order the 1st Brigade of Chariots to cover the retreat of the infantry, and the whole army retreats!" Although Ichiro Saki was very angry at Kamura's unauthorized escape, he did not lose his surname.
"Hay!" The soldier suddenly bowed his head and immediately took the order.
Outside Yang Village.
At this time, there were no more soldiers on the battlefield who could stand, and the soldiers of the Reading Army were beginning to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded. In this battle, the 2nd Division and Niu Tiangui's regiment joined forces to completely annihilate the 9th Division, which had lost its command, while most of the 6th Division, with the cooperation of the tank brigade, successfully withdrew from the battle and retreated overnight to Yuanping County, 50 kilometers away from Ningwu.
After this battle, the army's attack on the southern route was basically crushed, and the first and second divisions were rounded.
When the news reached Huairen, Zhang Mingyu immediately instructed the First Division and the Second Division to immediately prepare to attack Xinzhou and march to Shanxi!
After a year of development, the original Flying Eagle squadron already had 300 J-1 fighters and more than 100 light and heavy H-1 bombers at this time! The conditions for a decisive battle with the Shanxi Army Air Force have been met. At this time, the Air Force of the Reading Force was not a Flying Eagle Squadron, but a Flying Eagle Division of the Air Force, with three flying regiments under its jurisdiction, each regiment under three flying squadrons, and each squadron had more than 30 fighters and 10 bombers!
In view of this, Zhang Mingyu immediately ordered Zhang Biao to organize manpower to build an airfield in Ningwu to provide take-off and landing for the Flying Eagle Division.
Due to the mountainous nature of Shanxi and the fact that there are many mountain roads, which is not conducive to the operation of the armored division, Zhang Mingyu decided to attack Shanxi this time, and the Flying Eagle Division will provide air support for the infantry.
Therefore, the construction of an airfield in Ningwu can greatly reduce the range of fighter jets, so as to provide more sustained air support for infantry.
As soon as the people around Ningwu heard that the Reading Force was going to build an airfield, they threw down the farm tools in their hands and volunteered to help, and in just three days, tens of thousands of people volunteered to build an airfield and defensive positions for the Reading Army.
And after Zhang Biao received Zhang Mingyu's order, he also ordered the first regiment to take the lead and attack Shanxi!
After Ishihara received the news that the Ninth Division had been annihilated again, and the Sixth Division had suffered heavy losses and had been forced to retreat to Harahira, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and was admitted to a high-risk ward.
Terauchi Shouichi learned that Ishihara Waner was seriously ill, and hurriedly flew to Taiyuan, preparing to personally command the decisive battle between the Yue army and the reading army.
But it is obvious that there is a big gap between the command ability of this Terauchi Shouichi and Ishihara Wan'er! The first thing he did when he arrived in Taiyuan was to transfer the 20th Division that had stayed in Taiyuan and the Zhengtai Railway to Yuanping, leaving only one Fifth Division to garrison Taiyuan and other places.
Due to the large number of troops being withdrawn, many strongholds and strategic points were empty, and there were only a small number of devil soldiers and the Imperial Army. The Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Central Army in Shanxi were ready to move, preparing to gather troops for a counterattack.
Nakajo Mountain [***] Second Theater Command.
Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater, Wei Lihuang, deputy commander of the Second Theater, and a cadre of generals from the Second Theater gathered in the war room.
Yan Xishan said with a Shanxi accent: "Today, I called everyone here because there is something important to discuss with you!" According to reliable information, most of the troops of the Yue army were transferred west to block the reading force led by General Zhang Mingyu. At present, there is only one Fifth Division of the Yue Army and some Imperial Cooperative Army in the entire territory of Shanxi, so I decided to prepare for the battle of recovering Taiyuan and recovering Shanxi! Now it's up to General Toshiru to announce the battle order! (Note: Due to the arrival of Zhang Mingyu, there are some deviations in history, Wei Lihuang was not transferred to the commander of the first theater at this time, but continued to stay in Jinnan as the commander of the second theater!)
Wei Lihuang walked to the big map, held the command pole and said: "According to reliable information, the army has an infantry wing and two garrison brigades stationed in Taiyuan and other places, and the rest of the places such as Shouyang, Yangquan and other places are weak, and there are only a large number of puppet army Han Annihilation and Imperial Army. Therefore, these places can be regarded as places abandoned by the army.
According to the study and decision of the Second Theater Command, all units of our Second Theater will immediately launch a counteroffensive against the puppet army in their jurisdiction, first recovering the territory of Shanxi except Taiyuan and Jinzhong, and then all units will join forces in Taiyuan to carry out a general attack on Taiyuan! ”
Yan Xishan stood up again and said, "I hope that all my colleagues will unite and serve the party and the state!" Fight bravely to kill the enemy and recover the land! We have a celebration party in Taiyuan! ”
"Yes!" A cadre of generals stood up and said with a bang!
