Liu Yimin's order was short and powerful: "Order all brigades, prepare in 10 minutes!" ”

As a matter of fact, the units of the Eighth Route Army that had withdrawn from the net had already entered a state of readiness, and these 10 minutes of preparation were mainly aimed at the artillery groups of the artillery brigade and the armored units of the 1st Brigade.

Enter the position and let the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars ignite.

With Liu Yimin's order, the artillery brigade and the first brigade of the Jiao 1st Brigade, which were hidden behind the defense line of the Qinggang Jilu Southwest Garrison Brigade, became busy. At this time, if one of the Japanese puppet army went to this area, they would find that many small villages on the Great Plains were camouflaged by the Eighth Route Army, and the small thatched houses were actually camouflaged by tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles! Including those wheat straw stacks, firewood and grass piles, they were all camouflaged by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!

Li Chang, commander of the artillery of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, has been waiting for orders since he received the report from the reconnaissance battalion that he had discovered the enemy's situation. After receiving the order, Li Chang also ordered: "Order all artillery regiments to remove their camouflage and enter the position!" The first round of strikes on the mobile units of the target devils, the second round of strikes on the artillery positions of the target devils, and the third round of attacks on the infantry clusters of the target devils! ”

The camouflage on the cannon's body was removed, and the gun position was advanced, and the muzzle of the cannon was raised to the sky, aiming at the place where the little devils gathered.

The signal corps kept shouting with the telephone, reporting the azimuth coordinate parameters, the artillery squad leader,

Platoon commanders and company commanders waved small flags according to the parameters and instructed the gunners to adjust the angles. The artillery positions were busy.

After receiving the order, Gao Yuan immediately ordered all the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Armored Regiment to fire and prepare for a surprise attack.

Zhou Yi, chief of staff of the First Brigade, has another task, that is, special operations against the air. His orders were simple: light a fire to smoke and prepare to fly kites and birds.

After receiving the order, Zhu Rui, the commander of the New Fourth Brigade, who was hidden on the east side of the Caoxian-Dingtao road, said to Zhao Jie, the commander of the New Eighth Brigade: "We don't need to prepare, we will go directly. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch the devil's rout. ”

Zhao Jie was an instructor of the first battalion when he was in the 18th Red Regiment, and later he was the director of the political department of the regiment, the political commissar of the regiment, and the director of the political department of the 11th Red Division. On the way north to resist Japan, he and Zhao Shan formed the Eighth Brigade together and became the political commissar of the brigade, which can be regarded as one of Liu Yimin's most trusted generals. After becoming the commander of the New Eighth Brigade, Zhao Jie commanded the troops to show sè in several major battles. He knows best how to teach the combat style of the 1st Brigade, and he also knows the level of equipment of the 1st Brigade. Zhu Rui's words spoke to his heart, as soon as the artillery group fired, the armored group attacked, and the cavalry group copied the back road, where would the infantry make meritorious contributions!

That's it, the New Fourth Brigade and the New Eighth Brigade began to advance to the center of the battlefield ten minutes ahead of schedule.

Zhu Rui and Zhao Jie had this in mind, and Cheng Cuilin, deputy director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and commander of the New First Brigade, who was hidden in the west, also had this thought. Until now, he also served as the political commissar of the 1st Brigade, where can he not know the speed and strength of the armored assault.

Cheng Cuilin did not even discuss with Wang Bingsan, commander of the 2nd Luxi Garrison Brigade, so he ordered the new 1st Brigade and the 2nd Luxi Garrison Brigade to immediately dispatch and rush to the center of the battlefield.

In Zhang Wan's headquarters, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong were all looking at their watches.

The 10-minute waiting time was so long that Liu, Luo, and Cai were all pacing while looking at their watches.

The pointer was ticking and ticking, and the hearts of the people who were shocked were all pounding. Rao is Liu,

Luo and Cai have been in battle for a long time, and they also have mixed feelings in their hearts at this time.

Cai Zhong suddenly said: "Luo Yan reported that the little devils were not completely dispatched, there are still devils in Cao County, and there are also devil strongholds on the road from Cao County to Longhai." With this fight, maybe they will escape, which is equivalent to not completely annihilating the 38th Division. After planning for so long, if we let the remnants of the 38th Division flee to Shangqiu, we will lose a lot of money! ”

Luo Ronghuan said lightly: "If you let go of the remnants of the devil, you are sorry for the people of Shandong who were burned and looted by the little devils!" ”

Liu Yimin didn't say a word, just looked at his watch and kept pacing.

Cai Zhong reminded again: "You can order the cavalry brigade to send another regiment to the south of Cao County to intercept the devils who may escape." ”

Liu Yimin stopped pacing and glanced at Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong: "You can't take war for granted. All the little devil brigades and squadrons have radio stations, and we are here to fight, not only the town of Cao County is small

The devil will know, and even the Emperor will soon know. Think about how they would behave when they were angry! I can tell you that soon the Japanese planes will pounce on them from all directions to cover the retreat of the remnants of the Japanese army. If our army wants to destroy the remnants of the devils in the county seat of Caoxian again, we must consider the terrible consequences of storming the troops under the Japanese fleet. There is no hurry, there are many opportunities. The little devils will send mén! This southwest of Lu is a flat river, suitable for our army's cavalry group, armored group [transport], the little devil is here to serve us food, just chatter! ”

Cai Zhong sighed: "It's a cheap little devil in Cao County." ”

As soon as the ten minutes arrived, Liu Yimin yelled: "Hit the signal flare!" Artillery fire! Teach the First Brigade to attack! Surrounded on all sides! ”

Three red sè flares take to the air!

Suddenly, the Qinggangji area changed and the earth shook.

Li Chang clasped his hands together and chattered a few words, and finally said that I love you. Wang Shanzhu looked upset and shouted: "Lao Li, are you finished?"

After Li Chang finished his speech, he jumped up and shouted: "Open the cannon!" Fire! Fire! The three artillery groups are all aimed at the devil's chariot team and car team, and give Lao Tzu a blast! ”

The artillery group of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and the heavy artillery battalion, rocket artillery battalion, field artillery regiment 1, field artillery regiment 2, mountain artillery regiment, medium mortar regiment, flying thunder artillery regiment, 1st Brigade artillery regiment, cavalry brigade artillery regiment, the entire seven artillery regiments and two directly subordinate artillery battalions all opened fire.

That's it, the three high artillery regiments of the air defense brigade have not yet opened fire, and their task is air defense, covering the battlefield.

The shells, rockets, and bomb bags all flew towards the Japanese 38th Division convoy and the 230th Wing's car convoy that had just arrived in Qinggangji, and then it exploded, exploded, exploded again!

The artillery units of the Eighth Route Army have gone through great battles, and now their artillery skills are very high, and the three artillery groups are all sub-configurations, and the front is naturally the Flying Thunder Artillery Regiment, with half of the cannon barrel buried in the ground, and the hair is a fried yào bag: followed by the medium-sized mortar regiment, their first round of strikes was aimed at the infantry of the Japanese army, followed by the field artillery regiment, the heavy artillery battalion of the mountain artillery regiment and the rocket artillery battalion, and their first round of strikes was the Japanese army's combat convoy and automobile team.

Major General Sakaiban, commander of the infantry of the 38th Division, led a mobile unit to Qinggangji, and the troops did not even get off the car, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army with the chariots and armored vehicles of the convoy as the lead, destroy the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, destroy the enemy in front of them, and then quickly advance directly to the county seat of Dingtao.

Sakai leaned out of the turret of the tank and held a telescope to observe the battlefield.

He had already observed through the lookout glass in the tank just now, and the 228th and 229th Wings reported well, the Eighth Route Army was indeed resisting one by one with battalion-level units, and slowly retreated north while fighting. The Eighth Route Army did not have heavy artillery, not even infantry artillery, and only some grenadiers and heavy machine guns supported the operation, so Sakai was not worried about hitting the shells.

Sakai observed for a while, and couldn't help but say yo Xi in his mouth. He had thoroughly observed the battlefield clearly, and the main forces of the 228th Wing and the 229th Wing had all caught up and were attacking the position of the Eighth Route Army. The 24 Mén infantry guns of the six brigades of the two wings were all thrown into battle, and the shells kept exploding on the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army, and the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army could only move and retreat without stopping. However, the strength of the Eighth Route Army here is not small, and the blocking positions are not far apart, and the attacking infantry brigade will not be able to chase far before it will be blocked, and it has to stop attacking.

Under such circumstances, as soon as the divisional and regimental combat convoys are put into battle, they can immediately tear through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army and completely outflank and eliminate the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army.

Major General Sakai, who had observed clearly, beckoned to the commander of the division's communications who was accompanying the army, and ordered him to report to Lieutenant General Yotomo Fujii, commander of the 38th Division in the county seat of Cao County, that the mobile unit had successfully arrived at the battlefield and was about to attack. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is requested to wait for the good news.

Sakai, who was smiling with a smile on his face, was about to give the order to attack, when he suddenly felt the chariot he was riding in jump, and then from the north came the thunder like the sky was cracking, and Sakai thought there had been a big earthquake, so he hurriedly looked, Amaterasu, when did groups of shining meteors fly in the sky?

After all, he graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and he was also honed on the battlefield, and Sakai's surprise was only a matter of a moment. He immediately understood that it was broad daylight, and it was not a meteor that was flying, it was a cannonball.

Sakai had never seen this kind of formation with his own eyes, and he had only seen the report that the Eighth Route Army's concentrated use of artillery fire had caused the Eighth Division, the Tenth Division, the Fourteenth Division, and other main forces of the Imperial Army to be collectively shattered in a short period of time. Groups and groups of artillery shells, rockets, and bombs flew from the sky in front of him and landed on the head of his convoy, and all the chariots, armored vehicles, and automobiles were all blown up in all directions, even turning the bottom into the sky. The most terrifying thing is that the Eighth Route Army did not know what kind of shells it was, dragging a long light wing to pounce down, a series of more than a dozen rounds, the area after the explosion was very large, the chariots and cars could not escape at all, the chariots of the imperial army as a sharp weapon on the battlefield, under the blow of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, were simply iron coffins.

Sakai's thoughts could only stay in his mind, and before he could even give the order to retreat, his head was cut off by a piece of shrapnel, and his bones rolled under the tank.

The shelling lasted only five minutes, and the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army shifted direction towards the Japanese 228th

The artillery positions of the Wing and the 229th Wing were hit.

At this time, the rumbling sound of artillery had already woken up the little devils on the artillery position. When these little devils saw that the convoys and automobile teams reinforced by the division were covered by powerful artillery groups, how could they not know what was happening? But little devils are little devils, and they are all fanatics who are willing to die for the emperor. Instead of shifting their positions, the devil artillerymen were busy observing the shelling data, preparing to counterattack the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army and cover the escape of the motor fleet.

The little devil is a mantis arm as a car, with those infantry guns of theirs, how can they be the opponent of the powerful artillery group of the Eighth Route Army? The artillery group of the Eighth Route Army has just begun shelling, and the exact location of the position of the artillery group of the little devil company is still unclear. And since the artillery position of the little devil has been shelled for a while, the direction was accurately transmitted back to the artillery position by the artillery observers who accompanied the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army. It's not, small... When the devil's cannon was still calculating the azimuth coordinate parameters of the Eighth Route Army's artillery group, the shells of the Eighth Route Army fell. Just one shot per cannon was tried shè, and the artillery position of the little devil was covered.

Next, it was the turn of the little devils 228 and 229 United.

The 228th Wing and 229th Wing of the 38th Division set off at 4 o'clock in the morning, relying on two tuǐ, and ran dozens of miles to the Qinggangji line. Originally, these two wings were advancing on the country roads on both sides of the Caoxian-Dingtao road, but at seven o'clock, a brigade of the 228th Brigade encountered the Caoxian County Brigade according to Fujii Yochi's prior plan..., both wings began to pounce on the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Qinggangji. From seven o'clock to half past eight, there was only one and a half hours, and with the two tuǐ runs of the little devils, from the east and west sides to Qinggangji, it is really difficult for these little devils.

When the cannon fired, the Wing Commander of the 228th Wing and the Wing Commander of the 229th Wing were meeting.

Because the main force of the convoy and the Fei 230 team in the car has arrived, they will soon launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army, and the 228th and 229th Wings can completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that is blocking in front of them under the cover of the convoy.

When the two wing commanders were discussing, the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and seeing that the motor vehicle fleet stretching for miles on the road was buried by the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army in just a few minutes, the two wing captains immediately understood what fate awaited them. The two old devils didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered to stop the attack and evacuate on the spot.

It should be said that the disposition of the two wings of the Japanese army was very correct, because no matter how fast the human tuǐ ran, it was impossible to be faster than the shells. It's a pity that the little devil found out too late, and when the evacuation order was conveyed to the major teams, the shells of the Eighth Route Army followed. It's just that to the surprise of the captains of the devil wing, the shells that arrived first were not the shells of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, but the 92nd infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army and the infantry artillery and mortar shells of the Eighth Route Army on both flanks.

At this time, the two devil wing captains Ben said in surprise: "It turns out that the Eighth Route Army that blocked the attack in front of him also has infantry artillery!" ”

Without waiting for the two wing commanders to sigh in surprise, the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, which had completed the shelling of the devil's mobile unit and artillery position, turned to the devil's infantry. Groups of cannonballs, groups of shells, like eyes, fell towards the gathering place of the little devils' major teams, blooming one by one, rolling up the dust and fog in the sky, and blowing up the little devils to cry and call their mothers.

The two devil captains lay on the ground and raised their binoculars to take a look, Amaterasu, the Eighth Route Army was charging on both sides, and they were rushing towards Qinggangji. The most terrifying thing was that in the dust and fog in the north, there were figures of chariots, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and the motors roared towards them.

The two devil wing commanders could no longer care about the capture of Dingtao, crawled on the ground and silently ordered to report to the division commander that they were besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and asked for urgent tactical guidance from the air force, and then ordered one after another to inform the field artillery wing that had not yet arrived at the battlefield to quickly enter the battle and cover the retreat of the troops.

What made the two wing commanders desperate was that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and their team was scattered by the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, and there were disgusting stumps everywhere, and they were running in all directions.

The soldiers who were hiding from the shelling, the signal corpsmen and the telegraph operators who were following them had already returned to the Yasukuni Shrine to report for duty, and their orders could not be conveyed.

The two wing commanders had no choice but to get up and take the lead in retreating, hoping to lead the troops to retreat.

If you want to run again at this time, it will be whimsical!

The Eighth Route Army's instructor was such a powerful unit that was beaten beyond recognition by the little devil heavy army group in just over ten days, and the cadres and soldiers were holding their breath in their hearts, anxious to find the little devil to settle accounts. Today's opportunity to settle accounts has arrived, and everyone in all units is fighting bravely to be the first, but they can't rush to the front.

Zhao Dahe, the commander of the armored regiment, sat on the command vehicle and commanded the heavy tank battalion and two light tank battalions to clear the way for the assault troops, and rumbled towards the devils.

Since Chen Shiqu became the instructor, he has never seen the power of the instructor's armored group assault. Today, he can be regarded as having opened his eyes, when hundreds of tanks of the armored regiment, hundreds of armored vehicles of the armored group, and nearly 700 taels of automobiles roared over the six or seven miles wide frontage and crushed the devils, Chen Shiqu, a famous general of the Red Army, sighed: "Such a unit is invincible in the world!" ”

After sighing, Chen Shiqu immediately ordered the trumpet to be sounded, and the whole brigade launched a charge!

When the armored group crossed the defense line of the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, Li Chang had already ordered all artillery groups to stop shelling. His artillery group has completed its mission, and the next thing is for the infantry, can't you eat it yourself and don't even leave a mouthful of soup for the infantry big brother, right? Li Chang understands this truth.

After the shelling stopped, Li Chang immediately called Liu Yimin and asked which one to beat next?

At this time, the general situation of the battlefield had been decided, and Liu Yimin immediately ordered all artillery groups to evacuate and transfer on the spot, do a good job of air defense concealment, and strictly prevent bombing by devil planes.

Li Chang shouted that it was not enjoyable, the devil's troops were too small, and there were not enough artillery groups to stuff their teeth.

Liu Yimin didn't talk to him and hung up the phone directly.
