Ye Tufei said easily, and the brothers listened happily.

Unloading the objects that had nothing to do with the battle, Ye Tufei was going to lead the team to deliver this frost to Little Japan on the Eastern Front as quickly as possible.

As soon as the team shook off their legs, Ye Tufei suddenly stopped.

"That's not right!" Ye Tufei said to himself: "No, we have to stop, we have to let me think about it." ”

Ye Tufei said, throwing himself under a big tree on the side of the road.

"Is Keigo Yamashita so easy to get rid of?" Ye Tufei asked himself the first question.

The answer is clearly no.

But the problem is that these brothers easily threw off Keigo Yamashita's troops, why is this?

There is only one possibility, and that is that Yamashita Keigo has given up his plan to pursue him.

"What could be more important to Keigo Yamashita that would make him give up pursuing him?" Ye Tufei asked himself a second question.

As soon as this question was raised, combined with the judgment of the battle situation on the Eastern Front just now, Ye Tufei's thinking suddenly became clear.

Little Japan on the Eastern Front should not be passive or inferior at an ordinary level, it must have encountered a situation close to extinction, which made Yamashita Keigo give up on himself and rush to the rescue.

In order to support the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front, Little Japan sent bombers, but this situation of taking turns with fewer sorties did not look like assisting the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front to break through.

Adhere? Support?

These two words were combined, and Ye Tufei suddenly understood Yamashita Keigo's sinister intentions.

"We can't rush over, we have to stop and stop the Japanese on the Western Front!"

Ye Tufei gathered everyone together again and talked about the strategic situation he had just figured out.

"Yamashita Keigo is trying to come up with a central flowering tactic, in one fell swoop to eat the team that is fighting with the Japanese army on the Western Front, whether this team is Yan Xiwen or not, but the team fighting with Little Japan must be our Chinese team, we can't sit back and watch Yamashita Keigo's conspiracy succeed!"

Fight him under the mountain and Jingwu a blocking battle!

Drag Keigo Yamashita firmly to death in Erlang Mountain!

The brothers quickly formed a unity.

The best point of attack is the exit on the east side of the valley pass, where there are fortifications built by Little Japan, which can now be used to deal with Little Japan.

The brethren of the whole army immediately rushed to the exit of the valley passage on the east side with a running speed.

Time, at that moment, was measured in seconds, and if they could reach the valley pass on the east side one second earlier, then the chances of successfully blocking Keigo Yamashita would be one more point.

Fortunately, Ye Tufei had already made changes to the valley passage, and the road that looked quite open could not withstand the crushing of the chariot at all, and in addition, Yan Xiwen and the others also did some work in the valley passage after learning that Hu Xiaozhou was arrested.

Yamashita Keigo's goal was to completely annihilate the enemy forces on the Eastern Front, and for this purpose, he could not give up his tanks, combat vehicles, artillery, and other baggage, so although the distance through the valley was much closer, the speed was really not fast.

Ye Tufei led the team and finally arrived at the exit on the east side of the valley passage before Keigo at the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as the distribution of troops was arranged, Yamashita Keigo's vanguard arrived.

————

There were always four small Japanese bombers circling in the sky, and these four bombers brought great trouble to the attack of Han Hongxun's department, and they could not charge the Japanese troops trapped on the two small heights, so they could only avoid the bombing of the small Japanese planes as much as possible according to the terrain.

Those Japanese troops trapped on the small high ground were not in a hurry, and for more than two hours, they did not even have a breakthrough operation.

Han Hongxun is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he already knows what little Japan has in mind.

However, he still has time.

Ye Tufei once explained to him the various obstacles and dangers in the Erlang Mountain valley passage, and told Han Hongxun that it would take at least four hours for the small Japanese armored troops to pass through the Erlang Mountain valley passage.

Now, the four-hour time is only halfway over, and Han Hongxun has at least two more hours left.

In addition, in order not to be dumpled by Little Japan, Han Hongxun also ordered the Yellow River Brigade, which was originally tasked with carrying the buttocks, to build a position at the exit of the valley passage on the eastern side of Erlang Mountain, and to alert the Japanese troops coming from the Western Front at any time.

It's a decent tactical arrangement.

The main reason why Han Hongxun did not order the Yellow River Brigade to go to the eastern exit of the Erlangshan Valley Pass to block the Japanese army was that he knew that with the Yellow River Brigade, it would not be possible to complete this blocking task at all. Rather than letting the Yellow River Brigade be crippled and scrapped because of that time, it is better for him to accept it when he sees it and withdraw his troops in time.

On the battlefield, Han Hongxun could not organize a charge against the Japanese army, and could only rely on small-caliber artillery to maintain the attack on the Japanese army on the mountain.

In this way, the stalemate lasted for almost two hours.

"Withdraw! Division, we can't eat this Japanese army, and if we continue to fight, the possibility of being counter-encircled by small Japan will become more and more great. Han Hongxun's chief of staff made a timely reminder.

At this time, although the casualties of the Japanese troops entrenched on the two small hills were heavy, Han Hongxun's unit was also seriously injured by the bombers of the small Japanese.

Han Hongxun blushed and dismissed the chief of staff's suggestion: "General Zhang Zizhong once said that the outcome of the battle is often determined by the last five minutes, and whoever can hold out for the last five minutes will be able to achieve the final victory!" We are very difficult and dangerous now, but aren't the Japanese troops on the opposite hill even more difficult and dangerous? ”

Hold on for the last five minutes!

The chief of staff sighed and went to talk to Huang He on the phone, he had to grasp the dynamics of the Japanese army on the Western Front, if the Yellow River Department in charge of vigilance found signs of the Japanese army coming on the Western Front, then these five minutes would be immediately shortened to five seconds.

Just as he was about to touch the phone, Huang He called first: "Hurry up and report to the division, our army's flank has found a large number of troops of unknown origin!" ”

Han Hongxun picked up the phone and shouted: "You tell me clearly, what is the unknown origin?" Isn't it Little Japan? ”

Huang He hesitated for a moment and replied, "The information is still unclear, but judging from the clothing and equipment of the team, it should not be Japanese." ”

Not Japanese? Who else could it be?

Han Hongxun's first thought was that Ye Tufei and they had broken through.

But Huang He denied it on the phone: "This team has at least three regiments of troops, and it is definitely not Ye Liuye and them!" ”

Yan Xiwen was beside Han Hongxun, and suddenly thought of Lu Yao: "Could it be Commander Lu and them?" ”

Yan Xiwen reminded Han Hongxun: "Brigade Commander Huang, contact that team immediately, they are likely to be Commander Lu's team." ”

Before Huang He could get in touch with that team, a messenger sent by that team came here.

Sure enough, it was Lu Yao's troops.

Two days ago, Lu Yao thought about and understood the strategic intentions of Little Japan, and immediately decided to move the whole army in the direction of Erlang Mountain, just in order not to be discovered by Little Japan, they once again broke into pieces, day and night, and it took two nights to go around to the east side of Erlang Mountain.

"The Western Front is the focus of the Japanese army, and they will definitely attach great importance to the security of the flanks and rear, so there is no chance to start from the Western Front at all, so I will take the team around the Eastern Front?" Ten minutes later, Han Hongxun and Yan Xiwen met Lu Yao.

"Commander Lu, how did you touch this piece? This is still more than ten miles away from the Erlang Mountain battlefield? ”

Lu Yao smiled and pointed to the sky: "There are little Japanese planes leading the way!" ”

As soon as he mentioned Little Japan's plane, Han Hongxun was angry: "Damn, seeing this mouthful of fat, I just can't eat it, I blame this little Japan's plane for being too powerful!" ”

Lu Yao picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield.

"How many troops does Little Japan have?"

Yan Xiwen replied: "There are about a thousand people, after a few hours of fighting, I estimate that their casualties will not be less than three hundred." ”

Lu Yao turned around and said to Han Hongxun: "Senior Commander Han, you are right, if Little Japan has no air superiority, the Japanese troops on these two lonely mountains are indeed a piece of fat, and it will not take an hour to eat this piece of fat cleanly." ”

Han Hongxun pointed to the top of his head and replied helplessly: "Little Japan has always maintained four bombers on the battlefield, and with them overhead, we can't attack the high ground at all!" ”

Lu Yao smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you think of a way to deal with these bombers?" ”

Han Hongxun spread his hands and said, "Do we have anti-aircraft guns, how to deal with them?" ”

Lu Yao said: "Machine gun! Lure the little Japanese bombers into dive bombing and then use machine guns against them! Division Commander Han, the air forces of the little Japanese are not under the control of the local divisions, as long as we can take down one of them, maybe the air forces of the little Japanese will withdraw from this battle! ”

Han Hongxun slapped his head and shouted, "Why didn't I think of it? I only thought of using machine guns to limit their bombing, why didn't I think of luring them into dive bombing? ”

Lu Yao said: "Just leave the little Japanese planes to us, we are a new team to the battlefield, and the little Japanese planes will despise us." Division Commander Han, Political Commissar Yan, you are ready for a strong attack, and as soon as the planes of Little Japan withdraw from the battlefield, we will immediately launch a full-scale attack! ”

When Lu Yao commanded the team to appear on the battlefield and made a gesture to charge from the flank to one of the high grounds, the little Japanese plane really swaggered over.

Lu Yao's team didn't seem to attach much importance to those things in the sky, and still made an offensive posture.

This behavior greatly annoyed the Japanese pilots, and the captain of the main engine gave an order and began to do dive bombing with his wingman!

As soon as the two planes came down, they suddenly saw dozens of machine guns on the ground.

The Japanese pilot was taken aback and hurriedly pulled up the plane.

However, it was too late.

The wingman was only a second late, and the pilot of that wingman was a little bit less lucky......

Ten seconds later, the wingman fell with thick black smoke in tow.

The remaining three bombers saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around.

Han Hongxun gave an order, and the four main attack regiments, together with the Erlangshan anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade and more than 5,000 soldiers, launched an attack on the two heights at the same time.
