Chapter 558: New 9th Brigade

readx; "Today is a day of fighting, all units of our army stubbornly attacked, and the army also stubbornly resisted. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lao Hei introduced the battle situation of today's day: "Our 26th Division launched continuous attacks in the course of this day, occupied part of the positions of the Japanese army, killed and wounded a large number of Japanese troops, but our unit also suffered heavy casualties, in fact, the 151st Regiment 2nd Battalion and 1 Company, after seizing the position of the Japanese army, was countered by the artillery fire of the Japanese army, and the whole company fought to the last man, and none of them survived. ”

The atmosphere in the division headquarters was somewhat solemn.

Gao Fei frowned and listened there: "The difficulty of the battle, we were prepared before the start of the winter offensive, the army was not crushed with one blow, and their determination to resist even exceeded our imagination in many aspects. Especially when the army has absolute air and artillery superiority"

As he spoke, he paused slightly: "Although the army has absolute superiority in firepower, it does not mean that our artillery fire is completely incapable of resistance. In today's battle, our army concentrated all the artillery battalions and carried out a sudden suppression attack, which achieved very good results, so while we could not compete with the Japanese army as a whole, we could adopt the method of partial suppression to confront the Japanese army! ”

A room full of officers were there listening, and Goofy continued:

"Before the war, we planned a strategy to strike at the enemy with superior forces, and we made it clear one by one, but after the war began, the implementation was not sufficient. In today's war, all our officers and men have high morale and have sacrificed their lives and forgotten to die, but the coordination between various departments is still insufficient. Concentration, all available forces must be concentrated into a fist! While the 26th Division was attacking frontally, where was the 6th Division for the time being? Where is the 93 division? Where is the new 9 brigade? ”

The more Gao Fei spoke, the more stern he became, and Ma Debi smiled bitterly: "Commander, all my departments are in a fierce battle."

"I know you're all fighting hard, but fists, fists, if only one of them would be a fist with all its strength!" Goofy interrupted his subordinates, and his voice raised slightly:

"The combat effectiveness of the enemy on our right flank is not strong, and the puppet army also occupies a large part, and the left flank is the elite of the army, which is very capable of fighting, because I decided to readjust the deployment tomorrow. The 93rd Division was divided into two divisions, each responsible for the left and right flanks, the 26th Division, and the 6th Division, all of which were concentrated and severely attacked by the 45th Wing of the Army, and first made a gap for me from here. At the same time, concentrate all my artillery fire and give me a hard blow! ”

Goofy did not mention the mission of the new 9th Brigade, and those who are familiar with Goofy's temper know that there must be a particularly difficult mission waiting for the new 9th Brigade.

Sure enough, Gao Fei glanced at the lock pillar: "The staff department has a battle plan, which is very bold. Everybody came and watched."

Calling his subordinates to the map, Gao Fei pointed to the map and said: "The entire defensive formation of the army is very complete, once any point is attacked, then the neighboring troops can quickly reinforce it. Even if our army divides its troops and contains it, so that the army cannot form a corresponding trend for the time being, the role it plays is still short-lived and limited. Judging from the battlefield in charge of our department and the Ninth Theater, between the 6th Division and the 33rd Division and the 14th Brigade of the Reading Army, there is a complete line of defense, and it moves in full swing, but there is a big loophole in its junction! ”

As he spoke, Gao Fei pointed a little bit on the map: "Here, through the mountains!" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on the position of Gao Fei's finger, and Gao Fei took a deep breath: "Tongshan, adjacent to Wuning and Xiushui in the south, Yangxin in the east, Xianning in the north, and Chongyang in the west, is in the center of the entire defense system of the Yue Army. Here, a brigade of the Yue army was stationed. I have already discussed with Commander Xue Yue that the Ninth War Zone will concentrate all its artillery and troops in the Ming Dynasty, launch an attack at the same time as me, attract all the attention of the Yue army, and then send an elite army to seize Tongshan, cut off the connection with the Yue army, and plant a nail on the seven inches of the long snake formation of the Yue army! ”

Everyone understood who commanded this elite force, and everyone looked at the lock post.

Gao Fei didn't immediately explain: "It's not too big a problem to capture Tongshan, but the difficulty is what to do after seizing it?" A steel defense must be built there, no, flesh and blood to be exact! Once the situation of Tongshan is lost and the echoing situation of the Yue army is broken, the Yue army will inevitably launch the craziest attack on Tongshan like a gambler who has lost everything, and that period will be the most arduous and difficult time."

"Commander." The lock post looked very calm: "Give the order." ”

Looking at his good brother, Gao Fei said with great difficulty: "Lock pillar, this task is not something that ordinary troops can do, in terms of excellent equipment, the new 9th Brigade is one of the best in my fourth theater of operations, and even among all [***]." Moreover, for the sake of the sudden and swift surname of the operation, a well-equipped brigade formation is already the limit. That's why I'm going to give you this task, but I think you know better than I know the difficulties and hardships in it! ”

Suozhu suddenly smiled: "Brother Fei, if you decide something, is there any room for negotiation?" ”

Gao Fei also laughed, he was indeed unreasonable sometimes, but then his face sank: "Suozhu, take your new 9th Brigade to prepare overnight, and once the battle begins, my Fourth and Ninth Theaters will concentrate all their artillery fire to cover your actions." Remember, you must move quickly, be fast, don't care about any situation around you, even if you see me dying in the hands of the Orientals, don't care, your only destination is only one, Tongshan! ”

"Yes!" The lock post replied loudly.

"Lock the pillar, six days, give me six days to stand up to the death!" That's all Gao Fei can say.

"Xiucai, the task of the lock pillar this time is the task of asking for the head!" After the officers left one after another, the old black face was worried: "You also said that it is not a big problem to take Tongshan, but how to hold it is fatal." You see, here is the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, and here is the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army, that is to say, the new 9th Brigade will have to use the strength of one brigade to fight against one division and one brigade of the Japanese Army. ”

Gao Fei was silent, and instead of answering directly, he suddenly asked, "Do you know what the biggest advantage of the lock pillar is?" ”

Lao Hei shook his head blankly, and listened to Gao Fei say: "The biggest advantage of the lock post is to believe in me and listen to me, no matter what I ask him to do, he will do it if he can, and he will do it if he can't do it." Therefore, the only one who can perform this task must be the lock pillar alone! ”

"When you're a brother, it's not fucking human." Lao Hei muttered, and then his eyes were full of worry: "Six days, how can you survive these six days?"

This is what Gao Fei is most worried about, six days, how can he survive these six days

November 27th.

"Goofy, this madman!" Xue Yue muttered: "I really want to take a brigade to fight a division and a brigade of the devil, madman, this person is more like a madman than me!" ”

"The new 9th Brigade is well-armed, equipped with a large number of German submachine guns, machine guns, and grenades, I think, maybe it can withstand it, right?" The chief of staff said cautiously on the side.

"Well-equipped? You go to the top and show me! Xue Yue glanced at the chief of staff dissatisfied: "Even if each person has a machine gun, how many heads can they grow on their bodies, and can they withstand the repeated charges of the person himself?" Six days, how did they spend these six days? ”

The chief of staff was a little helpless and reminded the commander in a low voice: "Commander, the time for the attack is up." ”

Xue Yue picked up the phone, and his tone became irritable and fierce: "I am Xue Yue, order, all artillery fire, and bombard the army!" Yes, all, how many shells can be fired for Lao Tzu! But, no more! ”

As he spoke, he picked up another phone fiercely: "Attack, take out the foundation, attack!" Don't tell me about casualties, don't! You can go as far as you can! ”

Shelling, which sounded simultaneously in the 9th and 4th theaters of operations.

All the artillery fire that was concentrated was overwhelming, and it was almost impossible to drown everything on the battlefield. The earth shakes, the sky collapses, and it seems that the cannons of the [***] team will not give up if they don't make a hole in the sky!

Crazy, messed up!

Never before had the army been subjected to such heavy artillery fire. Everything on the position was crumbling under the bombardment of artillery fire, and the whole earth seemed to collapse as if it were about to be bombarded.

Guan Heqing looked at all this dumbfounded, dazed and at a loss. Even near his own headquarters, shells fell from time to time.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the Division Commander calls the phone."

Guan Heqing hurriedly rushed to the phone, hurriedly picked up the phone, and had to raise his voice to let his words come out: "Yes, our department is being attacked by the people of China who have never been attacked by artillery fire, unprecedentedly!" What the? The same is true for other places? The situation is unknown, the situation is unknown, I don't know what the Chinese want to do! Yes, I will do my best to prevent a sudden attack by the squadron, please rest assured that the position will never be lost in my hands! ”

Putting down the phone, Guan Heqing was confused, what do the Chinese want to do?

From the analysis of the intelligence obtained, according to such a style of play, the artillery reserve of the [***] team will not last long, do they want to end the battle today?

No, Guan Heqing shook his head affirmatively

"Pillar Lock!"

"Here!"

Glancing at the heavily armed Pillar and the brothers of the new 9th Brigade, Gao Fei hugged his brother vigorously: "Pillar Lock, the attack has begun, and all the forces of my Fourth and Ninth Theaters have been put into it, in order to cover your actions, cover a brigade with the strength of two theaters, unprecedented, let's act!" ”

"Brother Fei, don't worry, I won't let you down!" The lock pillar saluted Gao Fei with a military salute, then turned around and said loudly: "New 9th Brigade, go!" ”

Looking at the backs of the lock pillars and the brothers of the New 9th Brigade leaving, Gao Fei suddenly said loudly:

"Lock the pillar, come back alive!"

Lock the pillars and come back alive. Gao Fei whispered the words again in his heart

The artillery attack of the [***] team has reached an unprecedented stage of madness. But the shells seemed to be a little aimless, as if they were trying to suppress the Japanese army from momentum.

Subsequently, a large number of Chinese soldiers were thrown into the battlefield. Everywhere in the mountains, you can see the figure of Chinese soldiers charging to death.

Not many Chinese soldiers knew the purpose of the attack, but that wasn't something they should be concerned about, and since the commander gave the order to charge, those who were soldiers had only one choice:

Obey!

Under the cover of artillery fire and soldiers, the new 9 brigade began to move!

They are like a dexterous snake, surrounded by hunters, keenly looking for any opportunity of their own. At this time, all the attention of the Yue army has been attracted to the battlefield, and the small snake of the new 9th Brigade under their noses has become a "blind spot" for Yue himself!

In the artillery fire and the continuous charging of soldiers on both sides, the new 9th Brigade quickly looked for fighters, encountered a large group of enemies, they never fell in love with the battle, quickly left the battlefield, encountered a small group of enemies, immediately concentrated all their forces, a charge, crushed the enemy, but never pursued, and re-oriented towards the set goal: through the mountain, for a crazy rush!

He began to notice this unit, and the planes were quickly pulled to the battlefield and began to bombard this unit that suddenly appeared on the battlefield in an attempt to stop their advance, but this could not stop the advance of the new 9th Brigade in the slightest.

There is only one goal: to get to the mountain!

"What does this force want to do?" The commander of the Sixth Division, Machijiri Liangji, frowned, and he had just learned this information: "Where did this unit come from?" ”

Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho was also puzzled: "We are still continuing to reconnoitre. I think it's a unit in the Shina army that has left the main battlefield, right? ”

"It's not!" Machijiri shook his head with certainty: "Judging from the aerial reconnaissance, this unit is very organized, and their goal is very clear, they have encountered us several times on the road, but they have not engaged in any fierce battles, I think this situation is definitely not accidental!" ”

Shimono Kazuho glanced at the division commander in confusion.

Machijiri Liangji's eyes fell on the map and did not leave for a long time

"Brigade, there is Tongshan in front!"

"Okay, is the army prepared?"

"No, after careful reconnaissance, the army has no defense!"

The lock pillar swung his fist vigorously: "Order, attack immediately!" Rush into Tongshan, not a single one is left! ”

"Baga, Tongshan, Tongshan!" Machijiri suddenly shouted, "The goal of the Shina people is to pass the mountain!" ”

"What?" Shimono Kazuko suddenly rushed to the map, and Machijiri Liangji's voice became a little crazy: "Tongshan, the people of Shina want to go to the mountain, connect the mountain phone, connect the mountain phone!" ”

The phone was connected, and before Shimono Yihuo could speak, he had already heard a fierce gunshot on the other end of the phone, and Shimono Yihuo's heart sank: "I'm Shimono Yihuo, how is your situation?" ”

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Tongshan has been suddenly attacked by the Chinese army, their firepower is strong, and their fighting spirit is tenacious, and they have reached the door of my headquarters."

"Hold on, you must hold on, I will immediately ask His Excellency the Commander of the 33rd Division to give you reinforcements, hey, hey, speak!" Shimono shouted at the phone, but there was no sound anymore.

Shimono Kazuho put down the phone with a heavy heart, came to the front of Machijiri Liangji, and shook his head in despair.

As if anticipating such an outcome, Machijiri sat down: "This trick of the Shina people is very vicious, they attract our attention with all their artillery fire, and then cover a force to carry out a surprise attack on Tsuyama. As soon as the mountain was lost, there was no echo between us and the 33rd Division, and the people of China could calmly attack us! ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should I do now?"

Machijiri was silent for a while: "Give me the call from Commander Okamura."

"Brigade seat, the enemy of Tongshan has been mostly wiped out!" Qin Hancheng, the commander of the 18th regiment, came up and reported.

"Okay, build fortifications at once and prepare for battle!" Suozhu looked at the captured map and did not look up: "The main battlefield of Tongshan is on the periphery, and there is nothing to hold on to in the city, so once the periphery is lost, it will be difficult for us to hold out in the city for how long." Qin Hancheng, the 18th regiment pulled to the front line! ”

"Yes!" Qin Hancheng replied loudly.

"Send a telegram to the commander, my new 9th Brigade has occupied Tongshan!" Suozhu said, and glanced at Qin Hancheng: "As soon as Tongshan is lost, the army will inevitably counterattack, we must hold on here for six whole days, and we are not allowed to lose Tongshan, and tell the brothers, even if we fight to the last person, we must hold the position for me to the death!" ”

"Don't worry, Ryokza." Qin Hancheng smiled indifferently: "Our new 9th Brigade is the first elite of the Fourth War Zone, and we can't lose face, but it's just that it's freezing this day, and it's going to snow again at night. ”

"Where am I going to get it for you?" Suozhu smiled bitterly: "I just saw it in Tongshan, and in order to strengthen the defense of Tongshan, the people in the city have been driven out. Just now we attacked Tongshan, and the Orientals actually blew up the supply depot, and we didn't grab anything at all. ”

"Huh?" Qin Hancheng opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Brigade seat, in order to bring more ammunition, we only brought a day's dry food, we were expecting to be able to take Tongshan to replenish it, but what should we do now?" ”

"If you don't have anything to eat, you have to fight!" Suozhu's still immature face flashed with determination: "I don't care about anything else, the commander let us stay here for six days, not one less day." If you don't have anything to eat, you eat the bark, you eat the roots, you eat everything you can put in your mouth, and when this battle is over, I invite the brothers to eat meat, the big chunks of fat! ”

Qin Hancheng suddenly found that the brigade seat in front of him was becoming more and more like a commander!
