Seya Kai's plot did not succeed in the end, because Wang Dahu, the head of the first regiment, came.

Seeing that the battle was basically over, Wang Dahu hurriedly gathered troops to move the battlefield to meet the reinforcements of the Yue army on the northern route, but the first battalion and one company of the whole regiment did not know what they were doing, and the battle could not end in half a day. Wang Dahu was anxious and rushed over with several other companies of the first battalion.

came over to take a look, it turned out that Zhang Guangming led a company to put on a formation and prepare to fight bayonets with the little devils. Wang Dahu smiled angrily, and yelled at Zhang Guangming: "Zhang Guangming, what are you doing?" Who told you to mess with the little devils? ”

Zhang Guangming hurriedly reported: "Report to the head of the regiment, the little devil said that if we have a seed, we will fight with them with bayonets, and if we don't, we will shoot." I think I've been afraid of the enemy for a while, and I want the little devil to see what the real stabbing technique is! ”

Wang Dahu roared impatiently: "The old battalion does not need to fight with the enemy with bayonets, the old battalion relies on brains, tactics, and synthetic qualities to fight!" The division commander said that only when the ammunition was exhausted should the bayonet fight with the enemy. Your brain is in water, and you dare to forget the rules set by the division commander? Don't be wordy with Lao Tzu, shout to the devils, count one, two, three and let them surrender. If you don't surrender, you will rush directly. Machine gun ready! ”

Wang Dahu gave this order, and the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army were all pointed at the devils.

Zhang Guangming hurriedly reported: "Regiment commander, there are major generals and big generals here, and I want to capture them." ”

Wang Dahu waved his hand: "It's very simple to capture them, just catch them after they are injured." ”

Zhang Guangming shouted in a Chinese language: "The little devil listened, Lao Tzu ordered you to surrender immediately." I'll count one, two, three, and you lay down your weapons at once, or you'll all be killed!" ”

After shouting, Zhang Guangming shouted twice more, and then shouted loudly: "One"!

Before the word "two" was shouted, the little devil in the front row put down his rifle. Zhang Guangming felt strange in his heart, could it be that this little devil really wanted to surrender? If it's really a surrender, give them a chance. Thinking like this in his heart, his mouth was two beats slower, and when Zhang Guangming's "two" word shouted, there was a situation where the little devil was, only to see the devils in the back row lying down one after another, and the little devil with the rifle in the front row shouted, raised a grenade and rushed over, and was about to drop the bomb.

Wang Dahu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of sharpness, and as soon as he said the word "type", the shell gun in his hand was shot out with a shuttle.

The soldiers' machine guns and Bayi automatic rifles all fired. Most of the devils lay on the ground, but some of them threw grenades at them, and the dust caused by the explosion obscured the view of the fighters. When the dust cleared, Zhang Guangming found that in just a few moments, his soldiers had sacrificed five and wounded more than 20, either scratched by shrapnel or wounded by the lying devil with a rifle.

Without waiting for Zhang Guangming to get angry, the bazookas, grenadiers, and 60 mortars of the 1st battalion of the fire support company that came with Wang Dahu hit it, turning the little devil's hiding place into a sea of fire.

Wang Dahu stared at Zhang Guangming fiercely, and said for a long time: "Zhang Guangming, you are really capable, it is the first time in a row that there have been such large casualties." You wait, the division commander will come to settle the account for you in person! After the battle, confinement for three days, a deep review! ”

Zhang Guangming's whole body was smoking, and he led the soldiers to outflank him, wanting to replenish the guns for the devils who were not dead. When I got to the front, I found that none of the little devils were alive, and the major general seemed to have detonated a grenade, and his body was torn apart, and only a rotten skull lay on the ground.

According to Liu Yimin's order before the war, after the battle, the troops of the Eighth Route Army quickly shifted their positions and rushed to deal with the reinforced devils, leaving only the baggage regiment to clean up the battlefield.

The orders received by Yang Wei, the head of the baggage regiment, and Wu Wenfei, the political commissar, were very simple, to quickly clean up the battlefield, disguise that the Eighth Route Army was encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Yue Army, and attract reinforcements from the Yue Army.

Yang Wei and Wu Wenfei were both old men sent by the central column to the Red Eighteenth Regiment at the time of the passage. At that time, Yang Wei, Tang Xingying and others were all working in the logistics headquarters, and they had seen Liu Yimin's methods of luring and confusing the enemy during the battles of Xiaoshui and Xikou. Today, this glorious task finally fell to the baggage regiment, and naturally it was carefully arranged, and two battalions were arranged to do this thing.

Yang Wei knew that by this time, the fool knew that the 10th Division was over, and it was impossible to believe that there would be any large-scale joint attack on the devils. Therefore, he chose a small village in the south of Binxian County, pretending to be a devil and holding on, and the Eighth Route Army attacked, and the two sides went back and forth there.

After receiving Lai Wuping's farewell message, Terauchi Shouichi sat on the chair one by one, completely without the joy of his own accurate prediction, his face was blue and white for a while, and his eyebrows were still shaking.

Okabe Naosaburo didn't know how to comfort His Excellency the Commander. Think about it, it was originally carefully planned, mobilized a large army, and hoped to wipe out the North China Plain and Shandong base areas of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, completely eliminate the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, and eliminate the troubles in their hearts. Fortunately, before entering the hinterland of Shandong, a permanent division fell into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, and the elite Eighth Brigade was wiped out in a blink of an eye, and the brigade commander actually sent a farewell telegram. This kind of thing is definitely a slap in the face, and no one can accept it if they are put into command.

As the chief of staff, Naosaburo Gangbe still had to perform his duties, and cautiously suggested: "Your Excellency, commander, did you order the air force to bomb with all its might, blow up a bloody road, and rescue the other units of the 10th Division?" ”

Terauchi Shouichi seemed to be petrified, and he didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard the words of Naosaburo Okabe.

There is no way to do it, but the battle ahead is tense, and after the Eighth Route Army has cleaned up the Eighth Brigade, it will definitely follow up the 33rd Brigade and its subordinate units, and the time cannot be delayed. Therefore, Naosaburo Okabe suggested again: "Your Excellency Commander, did you strictly order Okamura-kun's main force on the northern front to speed up and rescue the 33rd Division?" ”

Before Shouichi Terauchi could reply, the staff officer reported that the aviation units had reported the discovery of a large-scale artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, and that fighters with ammunition had already rushed to the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, preparing to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Without waiting for Terauchi Shouyi to make a clear statement, Naosaburo Gangbu was so happy that he shouted Yo Xi, and directly ordered the staff officer: "Order the aviation group, send additional planes, completely blow up Liu Yimin's artillery position, and avenge the eighth brigade of the jade shatter!" ”

Before the words fell, another staff officer ran over to report that the Imperial fighters had been ambushed by the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. The commander of the Seya Kai Brigade called in clear code and ordered the aviation to withdraw from the battlefield from the sea.

At this moment, Naosaburo Gangbe was also dumbfounded.

By the time Kei Seya's farewell telegram arrived, Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo had already received a report from the aviation group that the 10th Division was determined to fight to the last soldier.

A line of tears rolled down the face of Shouyi in the temple, and he said for a long time: "Gangbu-kun, record the order: The 2nd Division, the 35th Division, and the 41st Division immediately stop advancing towards Binxian, quickly join the division, build fortifications on the spot, and make long-term preparations for holding on." Ordered all the aviation units to be dispatched to avoid the Binxian battlefield and cover the meeting of the three divisions. In the event of an emergency, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji could directly order the troops to quickly retreat and disengage from contact with the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Naosaburo Gangbe reminded: "Your Excellency, it is not early in the morning, and it is too difficult for the aviation to return to the airfield after dispatching. ”

Shouichi Terauchi glared at him: "Nonsense! The main force of the northern front is now facing great danger, Liu Yimin is used to continuous attacks, his next target is the second division or the thirty-fifth division, do you want the tragedy of the tenth division to repeat? Command the aviation troops, no matter what, must take off, if the plane cannot land when returning, the pilot can parachute, the big word is that there are many planes! ”

As soon as Okabe Naosaburo Hai said, he hurried to generate electricity.

After Okabe Naosaburo left, Terauchi Shouichi returned to a state of contemplation, and he wanted to think carefully about the battle situation after the jade of the 10th Division was shattered.

After the 10th Division was settled, Liu Yimin commanded the troops to quickly shift their positions, set up an ambush position in the shape of a figure eight in the north of Binxian County, and began to meet the 2nd Division coming from the direction of Huimin and the 35th Division from Wudi to the south.

Originally, Liu Yimin had planned to attack all the way, pack up the second division or the 35th division, and strive to annihilate one division and regiment. However, considering that the news of the destruction of the 10th Division had already been revealed, the plan of the army to stop its advance, quickly form a regiment, build fortifications on the spot, confront our army, and fight all the way to annihilate one division and regiment was impossible to realize.

When Terauchi Shouichi's order was issued, the 2nd Division of the Shochi Army had already crossed the town of Baoji and joined the 35th Division in the northern part of Binxian.

The 2nd Division was constantly resisted by the main force of the cavalry brigade all the way, which affected the speed of the march. Although the 35th Division did not have a high degree of mechanization, it basically did not encounter much resistance, and its actions were much faster. The task of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion was to attract the main force of the 2nd Division to the east, but the 2nd Division was unmoved and attacked all the way south, and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion had to turn to harass the 35th Division. But the devil is a fully equipped division, how can a cavalry battalion alone be able to stop it. What's more, the order received by the 2nd Cavalry Battalion was only to lure the enemy, so the 35th Division successfully joined the 2nd Division in addition to throwing down a lot of corpses along the way.

Originally, the 2nd Division and the 35th Division received an order to rush to Binxian County and urgently reinforce the 10th Division. At this time, the two divisions were combined, and the 41st Division was speeding up behind them, and the ambitions of the little devils were extremely inflated, dreaming of launching a thunderous blow to the Eighth Route Army in Binxian County. Therefore, although the little devils saw the planes in the sky falling non-stop, and although they also knew that the 10th Division had been destroyed, they still divided their troops and pounced viciously towards the county seat of Binxian County.

After receiving the order of General Terauchi Shouichi, Lieutenant General Maeda, commander of the 35th Division, quit first, because he was an artillery expert and knew what the results of the shells of the eight artillery regiments falling on his head, he immediately found the commander of the 3rd Brigade and Regiment of the 2nd Division, who was in charge of the command of the former enemy, and affirmed that he was very powerful, and demanded that the order of General Terauchi Shouichi be carried out, immediately gather his troops, quickly retreat, break away from the battlefield in Binxian, build a defensive line with Baoji Town as the core, and wait for further orders.

After all, Maeda Osamu is a lieutenant general, and he is a well-known artillery expert in the army, plus there is an order from General Toshiichi Terauchi, and the arrogant commander of the 3rd Brigade also has to be considered. However, he said that he needed to ask Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji for instructions.

Osamu Maeda immediately urged to send a report to Lieutenant General Okamura. Before the report was sent here, an order from Okamura Ninji came over there, asking the troops to immediately stop their advance, quickly retreat, and build a defensive line on the front line of Baoji Town, so as to prepare for a long-term entrenchment.

The commander of the 3rd Brigade then ordered the 2nd Division to stop its advance and quickly withdraw to the front line of Baoji Town to build a defensive line.

When fighting in large forces, the most taboo thing is to change the order at night. Rao is said that the army's military orders are strict, and the second division is the elite of the elite, but he can't help tossing like this. Fortunately, the second division was a motorized division with strong mobility ability, and after receiving the order, the units quickly turned their heads and organized a retreat.

However, it was too late at this time, and the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army had already completed its redeployment, and the muzzle of the gun had been raised high.

At the chaotic moment when the army retreated, Liu Yimin gave the order to attack.

Li Chang is now a mentor, and he should be said to be the most excited person in the entire Eighth Route Army or the entire Central [***] team. As soon as the main force of the 10th Division was eliminated with artillery groups, the 2nd Division and the 35th Division were sent to the door again. Come to think of it, I am afraid that no one in the whole of China has ever commanded eight artillery regiments to shell at a single target, and he Li Chang was the first. This glory, this pleasure, that is what many artillery commanders dream of!

So, after Liu Yimin's attack order was issued, Comrade Li Chang, the commander of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, whose eyes were shining, folded his hands and chanted twice in his mouth, "Division commander, division commander, I love you", and then waved his big hand and roared three times in a row, "Open the cannon!" Fire! Fire! ”

For a time, thunder broke out on the flat ground, and swarms of shells streaked across the sunset sky, slamming into the retreating ranks of the Japanese army.

The 2nd Division and the 35th Division, with a total of more than 40,000 people, were originally in a multi-way attack formation, but this turn to retreat became a multi-way retreat formation with the butt backwards. On the main road, the fields were full of combat vehicles, armored vehicles, automobiles, self-propelled guns of the 2nd Division and cavalry and infantry of the 35th Division. As long as the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army calculates the distance, it is basically a bumper harvest of artillery.

Osamu Maeda had just given the order to retreat to the 35th Division, and the troops had just begun to organize a retreat, when the attack of the Eighth Route Army came. Maeda was worthy of being an artillery expert, and when he saw the might of the Eighth Route Army's artillery group, he knew that there was only one way in front of him, and that was to "run," and he had to run fast and run out of the range of the Eighth Route Army's artillery as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late. Therefore, he sent all the flag soldiers to convey the order to the troops and quickly retreat at all costs.

What Maeda Osamu didn't expect was that his 35th Division was not a permanent division of the Japanese army, it was a newly formed garrison division, and the soldiers were good at harming the Chinese people. As soon as the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army spoke, the 35th Division was completely in chaos, and the teams and groups of ssalms ran away, and they suddenly became a bandit team.

The artillery was roaring, the cannonballs were falling straight down like hail, and the army was dancing in the artillery fire.

Three red flares rose into the sky.

Tsunami-like shouts suddenly sounded on both sides of the retreating team, and countless Eighth Route Army shouted and chased after them from both sides, with a torrent of steel composed of tanks and armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army on the left, and countless Eighth Route Army on horseback on the right. The trumpet was accompanied by the roar of the artillery and the shouts of the soldiers, and the earth was blown to the blood.

At this time, whether it was the Second Division or the 35th Division, from lieutenant generals, major generals to soldiers, they all knew that the Eighth Route Army wanted to surround them and eat them. In particular, those recruits of the 35th Division began to reduce their burdens because they thought that the weapons and ammunition on their bodies were too heavy, which affected the speed of retreat. The first to abandon was naturally to separate the mountain cannons on horses, the field cannons drawn by war horses, and the ammunition on the ammunition carts, because the soldiers wanted to escape on horseback, to escape by car, and to escape by dragging the horse's tail, so they had to let them stay first, as for what to do in the future, this group of recruits didn't think about it, anyway, the empire has more weapons and equipment, and the lives of soldiers are the most precious. The next thing to abandon was the heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and grenadiers that the soldiers had to carry and carry, and then the rifles, grenades, and cartridge boxes. In the end, many soldiers of the 35th Division even abandoned their steel helmets, lunch boxes, and water bottles, and became complete long-distance runners.

The funniest thing is a squadron of the 35th Division, except for the dead ones, the soldiers who ran back alive even took off their military uniforms, and everyone was left with only a piece of crotch cloth left on their bodies.

This is not to blame the soldiers, firstly, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and those who ran slowly were torn to pieces. Second, the pursuit force of the Eighth Route Army pursued too fast, and the machine guns on tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and war horses were like a windy blow, and anyone who was slow down had to go back to his grandmother's house to be reincarnated. Thirdly, the army has always advertised that it is better to die in battle than to be a prisoner, because when a prisoner is a prisoner, he will be beheaded by the Eighth Route Army, and his soul will not return to the arms of Amaterasu.

Compared with the 35th Division, the 2nd Division was much tougher. The primary target of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army was them, and hundreds of artillery pieces were aimed at the motorized marching ranks of the Second Division, shells fell, and cars, armored vehicles, and tanks were constantly blown up. But the 2nd Division was not in chaos, the tanks lined up in several columns, pressing wide roads through the fields, guiding armored vehicles, cars, artillery and cavalry to retreat quickly. Even those soldiers who fell from cars and war horses could also shoot on the spot, and even most of them finally chose to detonate the grenade and die with the pursuing soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Of course, there are very few who can actually achieve the same fate, because the instructors are different from other troops, and they don't need to be taken prisoner unless you surrender voluntarily.

The army broke and fled all the way, until it ran to the territory of Yangxin County, and joined the 41st Division that had come up with reinforcements, and the artillery wing of the 41st Division launched an artillery bombardment in the direction of the pursuit force of the Eighth Route Army.

Fortunately, the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army did not keep up in time, otherwise, this group of devils would not know where to flee to gain a foothold!

Later, it was recorded in the history of military warfare that Binxian was defeated and fled as follows: "The 2nd Division and the 35th Division reinforced the 10th Division, and were attacked by a large-scale artillery group of Liu Yimin's division of the Eighth Route Army. The 2nd Division took advantage of its firepower superiority to resolutely counterattack, thwarted the 8th Route Army's encirclement conspiracy, and covered the safe transfer of the main force of the 35th Division to Yangxin County and join the 41st Division. The 2nd Division damaged 6 combat vehicles, 12 armored vehicles, and 42 automobiles, killed 52 soldiers, and lost more than 3,200 people. The 35th Division damaged 25 cars, 200 carts, 48 cannons, killed 223 and lost more than 4,800. ”

Of course, Xiao Yueben is this virtue, and he is accustomed to concealing battle losses, like the historical Battle of Tengxian County, Xiao Yueben only admitted that 60 people were killed. captured Luoyang, and Xiao Yue Ben also said that only a few dozen people were killed. Such a record of war history, which violates the common sense of war, can only be left as a laughing stock.

Anyway, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army really opened their eyes this time, and it was the first time they saw a little devil with an invincible myth so embarrassed. After the order to stop the pursuit was given, the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield, picking up foreign land, and making a fortune.

After a day of fighting, although the 10th Division was wiped out, the artillery fire was too fierce, and many of the devils' equipment were damaged, and not too many were captured. It was only at this time that the cadres and soldiers fully realized the joy of winning the battle, and the guns, artillery, horses, carts, shells, bullets, canned beef, rice, and ocean noodles were a lot, not to mention anything else, just horse meat, go back and marinate it well, and make it into jerky, which was enough for the troops to eat for a while.

Liu Yimin's mood was naturally very good, his face was full of smiles, and when he and Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhongce inspected the battlefield, he couldn't help but say: "It seems that this devil's newly formed army just doesn't fight, and he pees his pants as soon as the cannon sounds." Look how happy they are, faster than rabbits! ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Ronghuan said: "Nonsense, is there still a life if you run slowly?" The little devil does not run faster than the rabbit, but the frightened rabbit runs faster than the sika deer! ”

Liu Yimin laughed, turned around and said to Cai Zhong: "Director Cai, hurry up and report to the chairman and the boss that our army has completely annihilated the 10th Division of the Yue Army, defeated the 2nd Division and the 35th Division of the Yue Army, and the results are being counted." ”

Cai Zhong patted the horse and left, and went to send a report.

Luo Ronghuan looked at the sky and said to Liu Yimin: "Division commander, hurry up and order the sappers to start building bridges, the main force of our army will withdraw to Hedong overnight, and if it is too late, I am afraid that the army fleet will arrive, and it will be difficult to build bridges." ”

Liu Yimin nodded, and ordered all troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, teach the 1st Brigade to fortify the direction of Yangxin, and cover the retreat of the whole army.

(To be continued)
