In this expedition, Tian Zheng led the main combat forces of the 54th Group Army stationed in Liaocheng and Tai'an. There are the 1st Guard Regiment of the Military Headquarters, the 162nd Division, the 127th Division, the Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Engineer Regiment, the Reconnaissance Battalion, the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade and most of the baggage brigade. There are more than 27,000 people on the trail. The troops were all deployed in predetermined positions as foreseen. The forward headquarters of the military headquarters was set up in the deep mountains more than ten miles away from the Lugou Bridge.

At present, the Japanese and Chinese armies are in the middle of a battle, and the officers and men of the National Revolutionary Army of our country are fighting bloodily, withstanding the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, and picking up guns and grenades with their flesh and blood to give the Japanese troops who are frantically attacking head-on! But the proportion of casualties is huge!

After three rounds of negotiations, the Japanese army has already completed the deployment of military forces, and at this moment it has completely torn off its camouflage mask and is ravaging the land of China like a mad dog.

"Reconnaissance battalion, quickly find out the enemy's artillery positions and the location of the barracks, and guide the target for our heavy artillery regiment!" After Tian Zheng's order was issued, more than 250 people of the reconnaissance battalion set off in full gear!

About two and a half hours later, the reconnaissance battalion sent a telegram pointing out the orientation of the Japanese frontal attacking force northeast of the Lugou Bridge. Tian Zheng looked at the eyes of Xie Feng of the Heavy Artillery Regiment who was waiting for an order, "Commander Xie Feng of the Heavy Artillery Regiment!" Your unit quickly removed its camouflage and covered the Japanese positions that the reconnaissance battalion had already guided! The reconnaissance battalion is the eyes of your department! In this battle, the military department has the privilege of deploying your unit and cooperating with your department to shoot and observe! ”

Xie Feng saluted and went out. Less than fifteen minutes later, with a low whistling, the first school shell of the heavy artillery regiment was fired! After receiving impact point feedback from the reconnaissance battalion. Xie Feng quickly calculated the deviation, and another three minutes passed. The first salvo of the heavy artillery regiment began!

I only heard a deafening roar of artillery resounding in the sky, and then I saw the artillery positions and barracks of the Japanese frontal troops attacking the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army in the distance burning! A heavy artillery regiment was a salvo of one hundred and twenty 105-mm howitzers. What a sight to behold! The heavy artillery regiment fired only two salvos before receiving a telegram from the reconnaissance battalion saying that the Japanese frontal offensive had stopped. According to preliminary estimates, this artillery strike dealt a fatal blow to the heavy firepower of the Japanese army, and at the same time added at least hundreds of casualties to the Japanese infantry unit. The Japanese frontal offensive collapsed. However, the reconnaissance battalion suggested that the heavy artillery regiment should be immediately transferred and camouflaged to avoid the Japanese army mobilizing planes to reconnoiter and bomb!

Sure enough, as soon as the Japanese attack stopped, it took less than half an hour. I saw that two Japanese planes had already appeared in the sky flying at a low altitude, apparently looking for the artillery position of the heavy artillery regiment. However, Xie Feng had already taken precautions in advance, and the army green camouflage net was covered with the branches and leaves of the trees, and from the height of the plane, he could only see a patch of green that caught his eyes, which was regarded by the Japanese army as a woodland and returned in vain.

This round of artillery salvo suddenly played the majesty of the 54th Army! Hit out the fire of the heavy artillery regiment out! It also played the momentum of our Huaxia troops! Although Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, who was in the headquarters of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was wondering where such a powerful artillery unit came from to support them, and at the same time, the Japanese army on the opposite side was also wondering about the origin of this force. However, this did not prevent our Chinese people from sweeping away the malaise that had been in place for several days. Defeat is retreating, and here comes an exciting and exciting news!

"Zhao Qilong of the 162nd Division, your troops will not move, and they will strictly guard the east side of Beiping City. Strictly guard against the sneak attack of the puppet security team of the puppet Hebei Eastern Defense Communist Autonomous Government! Lu Cheng of the 127th Division, your department is also strictly stationed on the northwest side of Beiping City according to the original plan, and strictly prevent the four divisions of the puppet Mongolian army from sneaking attack! Guard a regiment of Yan Xiaoliu! Your department is the first echelon. Go to the northern position of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and communicate with the army commander Song Zheyuan. Cooperate with them for a counter-attack operation! The Second Regiment of the Guards Xie Ning! Your department is the second echelon. The main task is to serve as a follow-up force and fire support for the first echelon! Tian Zheng decisively ordered!

Taking advantage of this meeting, the Japanese army was beaten and covered with their heads, and their morale was weakened for a while, which was the best time for our army to expand its results! In a war, we must seize the opportunity and never hesitate. Take advantage of your illness to kill you! At this moment, there are heavy troops on both flanks, and presumably the two miscellaneous armies will not be able to make any waves. With the officers and men of the 29th National Revolutionary Army and the 1st Guard Regiment and the 2nd Guard Regiment working together in front of it, it will not be difficult to recover part of the position!

Attacking the frontal positions of our army were most of the 1st Brigade and 11th Brigade of the Japanese North China Garrison Army. There were more than 15,000 people. The battle ground between the two armies was located near Nanyuan. This was the focus of the Japanese offensive and the focus of our army's defense. The two armies have been fighting here for a long time. The defense of Nanyuan was the 29th Division of the 37th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Division Commander Feng Zhi'an. Due to the importance of the war, Deputy Army Commander Tong Linge also visited the front-line headquarters in person to boost morale and supervise the war.

When Yan Xiaoliu, the commander of the 1st Guard Regiment, found Feng Zhi'an, the commander of the 37th Division, he was discussing the next defensive plan with the deputy commander Tong Linge. The Japanese firepower was too fierce, and just two charges had already caused more than 1,000 casualties among their own soldiers. However, their own side lacked heavy firepower, and they had no power to fight back against the Japanese aircraft and artillery. If it weren't for the two salvos of the heavy artillery regiment just now, I'm afraid that today's Nanyuan position would be really dangerous!

"What? You said you were the one who shot the shelling just now? Feng Zhi'an was surprised when he saw Yan Xiaoliu, who was fully armed, and a group of elite soldiers in camouflage uniforms.

"Thank you for your help! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold that position just now! Deputy Army Commander Tong Linge said with emotion.

"I still don't know the number of the friendly army in the road?" Tong Linge held Yan Xiaoliu's hand tightly and asked.

Yan Xiaoliu's figure was solemn, and he saluted and said, "The first guard regiment of the 54th Group Army of Huaxia Kingdom, the regiment commander Yan Xiaoliu salutes the commander!" ”

Tong Linge hurriedly returned the salute. "Is it the 54th Army?" Tong Lin Pavilion's seriousness came out with a glimmer of joy!

"Report sir, yes! It was our army's heavy artillery regiment that shot just now! Our army's military seat instructed to take advantage of the Japanese army's panic to let our troops join forces with the Gui army to carry out a positional counterattack! Expand your results! ”

"Expand the gains? Fight back now? Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and taking advantage of the current pause in the fighting is a good opportunity to strengthen our defenses and treat the wounded! Moreover, the military strength of our army is not comparable to that of the Japanese army at all, and whether it can hold its position to resist the next round of attacks by the Japanese army is a question, so what is there to talk about an immediate counterattack? Is it just one of your guard regiments? How many people are there? One intensive strafing by the Japanese army will all fall! Division Commander Feng Zhi'an said a little speechlessly.

Tong Linge waved his hand, "For public security, you will order to cooperate with friendly forces!" I believe in friendly forces! ”

Yan Xiaoliu saluted Tong Linge, "Our department has decided to go up the mountain along the trail and carry out a sneak attack from the east side of the Japanese army!" However, our department is not familiar with the nearby terrain, and we need your army to provide a detailed map of the nearby terrain, and we need your army to send troops to directly contain and attract Japanese firepower! ”

Feng Zhi'an looked at Tong Lin Pavilion. To be honest, now they think that taking the opportunity to let the troops take a breather and recuperate is the king. But since Tong Linge was willing to believe in this Yan Xiaoliu in front of him, Feng Zhi'an had no choice but to agree.

"Good! Let's exchange codebooks! Radio contact! Our army will fully cooperate with the friendly forces in this operation! Tong Linge nodded heavily. Said. (To be continued......)
