The pain of Major General Honda Masato did not last long.

Under such a high-intensity artillery attack, not to mention the army, even the troops that are better equipped than the army, the reason is very simple, as long as the fierce beast enters the slaughterhouse, the ferocity becomes the pleasure of stimulating the butcher's laughter.

The artillery group scattered the dense marching formation, and the mortars and light and heavy machine guns of the three brigades brought the Japanese troops moving in all directions closer together, and accepted the ravages of the artillery group again. In this way, after a few rounds, Honda Masako and Tsukibu found sadly that if this continued, the army would be broken up and destroyed.

Honda Masasai was determined to fight a bloody way, and ordered the remnants of the embankment detachment to take the lead, and the whole army concentrated on attacking the northern mountain beams, and lived and died here.

After receiving the order, he got up from the crater and wanted to organize the troops and storm the mountain beam to the north. This organized troops, and Di Bugui couldn't help but curse Baga and Baga, because his troops had lost half of their strength in the shelling.

Di Bujiagui is a veteran who participated in the Russian War, has rich battlefield experience, and scolds and scolds, but he understands in his heart that he is now in a race against death, and only by opening a gap can he save the troops. So, he personally led the team and killed the mountain beam in the north.

The scenes of the Japanese army charging on later films and television are basically a large group of Japanese soldiers charging forward intensively with bayonets, which is misleading. In particular, some generals of the army, such as Okamura Ninji, went to Europe to investigate the reasons for the defeat of the German army in World War I, and studied tactics very deeply.

As soon as the troops attacked, the troops of the Second Brigade defending the high ground on the left immediately discovered that the formation of the charge of the army was actually the same as the tactical movements of the imaginary enemy during their training, and that several people were dragging a machine gun and forming battle groups one after another, taking advantage of the terrain to cover and evade the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

One of the reasons why Honda Masasai chose to attack the northern Shanliang was that the northern Shanliang Mountain was relatively slow and easy to attack, and after opening the passage here, he could advance to the north of Jin. Another reason is more important, that is, after Honda Masako's observation, he found that the troops defending the northern mountain beam had relatively few torches, and the firepower was not as dense as the other three aspects. The all-out attack of the Tsukibuki's troops seemed to confirm Honda's judgment, and although the Tsutsubuki's troops were about to be killed, the torch line of the defending Shina troops seemed to be moving backwards, and there were signs of loosening of the defensive line.

Seizing the opportunity, Honda Masasai drew his command knife and ordered the wounded to stay behind to block the enemy, and all the soldiers took up arms and charged to the northern mountain beam, breaking through the enemy's line in one fell swoop.

The remnants of the army all attacked the northern mountain beams.

Although the shells kept falling, although the light and heavy machine guns of the squadron defending on the mountain beam on the north side were as windy as the wind, they could not stop the desire of this group of soldiers to escape. Their fatigue was gone, and one by one they howled and shot as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and swarmed towards the mountain beams to the north.

It seems that the squadron sensed that the defensive line of Shanliang in the north was likely to break through, and the artillery group concentrated on bombarding the charging Yue army, with the intention of naturally trying to prevent the Yue army from breaking through.

The machine-gun fire and mortar fire on the northern mountain beam were getting weaker and weaker, and Honda Masasai believed that the squadron [***] had been killed too much by the accurate fire of the Imperial soldiers, and the firepower could not keep up and was thin, and if he tried harder, he would rush out.

The Second Brigade is the 12th Division of the original Red Seventh Army, and the backbone troops are the Second Guard Regiment of the Guard Division and the Second Battalion of the Eighteenth Regiment. The Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Second Brigade was the original Second Guard Regiment and the 34th Red Regiment, and its equipment and training were the same as those of the First Regiment led by Wang Dahu. The regiment commander Zhang Minsheng and the political commissar He Ke all followed Liu Yimin all the way from the Xiangjiang River to kill the warriors of the Red Eighteenth Regiment. They deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, just to concentrate the remnants of the Second Brigade and attract them to the front of the position to be destroyed, so that some devils would not slip away by taking advantage of the night and the mountain.

Poor Honda Masako, who has only learned a little bit of Sun Tzu's art of war, doesn't know what kind of army he is facing, not to mention knowing himself and his opponent, and he doesn't even know the opponent's number, so he dares to wave his army to kill him, and there is no reason for heaven if he doesn't die.

Seeing that the light and heavy machine gun fire of the [***] team on the mountain beam was getting quieter and quieter, Honda Masato was overjoyed, and waved his command knife again, and all the remnants of the army let out a crazy roar, no longer doing hidden tactical attack movements, and began to bend down and run. Because they all knew that when they climbed up the mountain beam, they tore open the gap, and under the cover of night, the [***] team could no longer take them.

Fantasy is beautiful, and when fantasy is suddenly shattered, it becomes cruel.

Honda Masasai suddenly found that in front of his troops, there was a camouflaged trench, and at this moment, all the Chinese soldiers hiding in the trench got up, and the basic firearms in their hands were firearms, and the density of firepower was the only one Honda Masasai had ever seen in his life.

The dense and continuous rain of bullets, like a tidal wave, spilled up and poured up, digesting the last strength of the Second Division, and there was not a trace of dregs left.

Honda Masasai stared at his frightened eyes, and before he could shout "Amaterasu", he was knocked to the ground on his back by the impact of the bullet. He didn't believe until he died, how could the backward China have such a powerful force with such firepower.

Zhang Minsheng, the commander of the fourth regiment, glanced at the battlefield that had calmed down, his eyebrows were full of smiles, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Dogs, come on, grandpa is waiting for you!" ”

At two o'clock in the morning on the 21st, Liu Yimin successively received telegrams from Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu Jianjian.

Liu Yimin, who was excited, couldn't help but stand up, walked in front of Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, and hugged the two tightly together.

Rao is Luo Ronghuan is surname is as calm as a mountain, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered in his mouth: "The entire Chahar Dispatch Corps, just like this, all of them were wiped out by us?" That's the most elite devil! ”

Cai Zhong said: "With the main force of the Fifth Division, we are equivalent to killing more than 30,000 elite devils, and we are destroying them in a systematic manner. I'm afraid I'm going crazy now. ”

After Liu Yimin's mood calmed down a bit, he continued Cai Zhong's words and said: "I don't just want to be crazy, I guess Emperor Ben wants to eat Shouichi in the temple!" This great victory will greatly encourage our people to fight to the death against the Kou, and it is of great significance. However, there is also a negative effect, that is, the army will keep an eye on us, and next, I am afraid that the army will concentrate its forces against us. ”

Liu Yimin still has something to say in his heart, that is, he is worried that the base camp of the Chinese army will adjust its policy and turn dealing with the Soviet Union and the United States into concentrating on dealing with China, in which case, the pressure will be too great.

However, Liu Yimin always had an idea in his heart, that is, to rely on the strength of the Chinese to completely defeat Yuben, lest he only admit defeat to the US army and the Soviet army, but not defeat at the hands of the Chinese [***] team, as was the case in later history.

In order to achieve this goal, the Chinese people will have to make greater sacrifices and efforts.

Cai Zhong has long been very confident in Liu Yimin, and it is not too much to say that he admires it exactly, so he opened his mouth and said, "What are you afraid of?" If we come to one division, we will destroy one division, and if we come with two divisions, we will destroy two divisions. We will kill as many devils as there are until we kill all the devils! ”

Liu Yimin laughed and punched Cai Zhong: "Director Cai's words are good and imposing." We just have to keep taking the initiative to attack and eat the devils part by piece. After fighting like this for a few years, the essence of the devil will be exhausted, and in the end, let them send all the student babies to the battlefield, and take the initiative to surrender as soon as they hear the charging horn of the Eighth Route Army, afraid that we will be afraid to the core. At that time, the Chinese people's war of resistance was completely victorious! ”

Luo Ronghuan nodded, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed it into Liu Yimin's hand, and said: "Division commander, send a report to [***] and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, I'm worried that they, like us, have been waiting for news!" ”

Liu Yimin immediately ordered Qian Zhuangfei to send a report to the chairman and Mr. Zhu, reporting that the enemy's reading force was completely annihilated and mixed into the second brigade and the reading force mixed into the 15th brigade.

Cai Zhong suggested that the good news of the destruction of the main force of the Provisional Air Corps of the North China Front Army should also be reported, and that Chiang Kai-shek should be reported at the same time, so as to get him to give him some more money.

Liu Yimin shook his head and said that he would report it when all the results were counted tomorrow, and a press conference would be held. Now report to Chiang Kai-shek, and Madame Chiang will know at once that perhaps she will not leave tomorrow, and may offer that we hand over the captured planes to her, and that our losses will be great. As for asking Chiang Kai-shek to give money, I have never had any hope, where can we use his money to use the money we earn from opening mines and factories and developing the economy to be comfortable with it? Chiang Kai-shek could not be left to chance at any time.

Luo Ronghuan absolutely agreed with Liu Yimin's words in his heart, and he should be absolutely vigilant against Chiang Kai-shek. Especially Song Meiling, she must be sent away tomorrow. He said, "Division commander, you arrange for all the troops to assemble and rest, and then go to rest after the arrangements are made." Tomorrow morning, Director Cai and I will go to see off Mrs. Jiang, and we will report back to you after seeing them off. However, tomorrow after Madame Chiang leaves, we must hold a press conference to publicize our great victory, expand the influence of our party and army, and boost the morale of the people throughout the country. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yimin didn't say much, and directly ordered Liu Jianli to send troops to take advantage of the situation to recover Xinkou and rest the troops south of Xinkou; Zeng Zhongsheng was ordered to lead his troops to rest on the spot and wait for further orders.
