Niu Tiangui came to his brigade headquarters with several regiment commanders with his hands tied and bandages, and said to Zhang Mingyu: "Military seat! Our 1st Brigade successfully completed the mission, completely annihilated the 11th Wing of the Chinese Army, and captured countless weapons and ammunition! ”

Zhang Mingyu was not too excited, a heavy artillery brigade was so powerful that the firepower bombarded fiercely for nearly an hour, plus an elite reinforced infantry brigade would be an accident if it could not completely annihilate these more than 3,000 little devils in the night battle. Zhang Mingyu's 20,000 or 30,000 shells were not fought in vain, and the devil was also flesh and blood, and he suffered heavy casualties under the powerful artillery fire.

Zhang Mingyu said to Niu Tiangui: "I just received information that the devil has transferred three more divisions from the south, and now he has arrived in Ningwu, and he may attack our army at any time!" Now I command・・・・・"

Niu Tiangui and several regiment leaders immediately straightened up and looked at Zhang Mingyu with their eyes brushed.

Zhang Mingyu paused and said: "I ordered the first brigade to build fortifications on the spot to defend the Yellow River along the Zhunmuqi, and not allow a devil to cross the river within three days, can it be done?" ”

"Rest assured, the mission is guaranteed!" Ushida Gui and several regiment leaders replied in unison.

"Don't agree so absolutely, what you are facing is not as simple as a devil wing, but the devils of at least two divisions, I said ugly things in front, if you can't hold it, I will not only deal with it by military law! You are not worthy of being the elite of my iron army, you can only feed the horses to Lao Tzu's base! Zhang Mingyu said.

"Rest assured, the military seat is in the position, and the people are in the position!" Niu Tiangui replied sharply: "Our first brigade is the elite, don't think about feeding the horses!" The devils want to cross the river, unless they step on the corpses of all the officers and soldiers of our First Brigade, otherwise they will rest and cross the Yellow River! ”

"Good! I will transfer the strength of an infantry regiment to strengthen your brigade when I go back, and I will leave you a tank armored company, remember that tanks cannot attack during the day, devils have anti-tank guns and aircraft bombing, and tanks are best used to counterattack at night! Zhang Mingyu instructed.

"Yes!" Niu Tiangui once again closed himself and stood on the right path.

Zhang Mingyu returned to Ordos from the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, and at this time Xu Hu also returned to Ordos with a 1/2 tank battalion to replenish fuel and ammunition.

Ling Tianbao's second division in the direction of Fugu County along the Yellow River Bridge echelons arranged in-depth defensive positions, Ling Tianbao with two companies of troops to hold the bridgehead, due to the relationship of time, the reading army did not build a pillbox at the bridgehead, but dug many hidden forts at the bridgehead, covered with wood and mud, after adding snow, after the cold air frozen, all the bunkers became layers of smooth ice.

A few days later, hundreds of "snowdrifts" of all sizes appeared on the side of the bridgehead of the Yellow River Bridge, the small one is a single bunker that can only accommodate one person, and the big one is a large bunker that can accommodate more than ten people.

These snow-made bunkers were so hard that the fighters bombarded them with 82-mm mortars and couldn't shake them at all, and finally tried them with 105 howitzers, which only showed that the skin shook off a few layers, but it couldn't destroy it.

Tests have proved that as long as it is not a direct hit by heavy artillery of more than 105 caliber, it is still difficult to destroy these "snowdrift bunkers".

After Zhang Mingyu returned to Ordos, he immediately discussed countermeasures with Zhang Biao and others, and at this time, the troops he could still use were the Fourth Division, which was not very strong in combat effectiveness, and the First Division (one less brigade) with the strongest combat effectiveness, most of the tank and armored regiments, and a cavalry regiment, and a special forces detachment.

In order to unify the deployment, Zhang Mingyu temporarily placed this brigade under the command of the First Division, and in addition, an infantry regiment was drawn from each of the two brigades in the base area and Ordos to supplement the First Brigade of the First Division defending Zhunmuqi. After all, what they want to stop is the 5th Division and the 20th Division, which are very strong in combat!

After everyone sat down, Zhang Mingyu immediately said: "Brothers, the situation is very serious now, the devil has mobilized three more field divisions, intending to destroy us in one fell swoop, if we do not win this battle, we will die without a place to be buried, let alone how to enter Tokyo City in the future." ”

After speaking, Zhang Mingyu opened the big map, pointed to the route of the army's march and said: "The army is divided into three routes at this time, one of which starts from Suiyuan, Datong, and a total of three divisions have attacked our army's Baotou.

The second road is the Fifth Division and the Twentieth Division, and the third road is the three divisions and regiments that were urgently transferred from the southern front, namely the Sixth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Divisions. ”

"Military seat, the fifth division is strong in combat, and with only one brigade, I'm worried about whether Niu Tiangui's kid can hold it!" Zhang Biao asked.

"What I ordered Niu Tiangui was to hold it for three days, and if he couldn't hold it within three days, he wouldn't have to do it as the commander of the first brigade!" Zhang Mingyu lit a cigarette in his hand and said.

"And what about three days later? What does my first division do? Zhang Biao asked.

"Look here," Zhang Mingyu pointed to the map and said: "This is called Jiahe County, Jiahe County has a Yellow River crossing, you can cross the Yellow River here, and there is no army there, the task of your first division is to run six hundred miles in three days, cross the Yellow River, and then raid Ningwu, the command of the three divisions from the south is here, your task is to eliminate them and recover Ningwu, as long as the headquarters of these three divisions are eliminated, then immediately cooperate with the second division to prepare to encircle and annihilate these three devil divisions!" ”

"Ahh Six hundred miles in three days? Zhang Biao asked with a long mouth.

"Not only six hundred li, but two hundred li to cross the Yellow River to reach Ningwu, and your first division will attack Ningwu before the early morning of the third day. Destroy the command of the army! Zhang Mingyu continued.

"Eight hundred miles? Even if my people can run to the place, I'm afraid I'll be tired and half dead! Where is there still the strength to fight devils? Zhang Biao asked.

"The tank battalion will go with you, as long as you can keep up with the speed of the tank, you can arrive on time, I don't listen to you scratch, if you can't complete the task after three days, you can jump into the Yellow River yourself!" Zhang Mingyu said sharply.

Seeing Zhang Biao's embarrassed face, Zhang Mingyu encouraged: "This victory is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Li Army and hundreds of thousands of people in the base area, if you can complete the task in time, we can inflict heavy losses on the army, and we can sweep through North China, and the devils in North China are powerless to stop the pace of our iron army!" Therefore, this battle is not allowed to be defeated! Do you understand? ”

"Understood! Swear to complete the task, if you can't complete the task, Lao Tzu will jump into the Yellow River to feed the fish! Zhang Biao replied loudly.

"Alright, let's go and prepare!" Zhang Mingyu waved his hand.
