There was a slight commotion and commotion in the military tent, more than a dozen Japanese officers stood in the tent and talked about it, Kitaoka Yoshino paced into the tent, the wolf-like eyes swept over the faces of every officer in the tent, and the stern gaze made the hearts of those present chill.

Kitaoka Yoshino came to them and let out a long sigh and said, "We have not been stopped or defeated since we came to the land of China, which has always been invincible, but in Shanghai; in Maoshan; Here I was defeated at the hands of a Chinese army, and in our ranks the National Youth League became a terrible iron army, and many soldiers were timid when they heard that my opponent was the National Youth League; If we are afraid, we will start losing one battle after another, and are you qualified to be the emperor's warriors like you are now? You are no different from those people of China, the same incompetence. ”

Kitaoka Yoshino was on the side, and there was silence under the foam, and Kitaoka Yoshino looked at everyone again and said: "We took Zhangdian not to win this battle, but to wash away the previous shame for ourselves; The shame that the National Youth League brought to us. ”

"Take down the shop and wash away the shame!" A junior officer shouted.

At this time, the whole camp was full of shouts: "Wash away the shame!" Wash away the shame! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire! ”

Kitaoka Yoshino bowed his head with satisfaction and said, "Two hours later, we will launch another attack on the Zhangdian position of the Shina people. ”

"Hey!" The officers below shouted in unison.

Because Sun Weiru gave up the Hanzhuang soldiers to defend Mo, Nanjia understood the defense capability of the right flank of the state, so that the strength of the 1st Division could be fully spread out in front of this position, and the pre-cadre column of the National Youth League was all transferred to Zhangdian, plus the 6th Division took over the defense line of the independent column of the National Youth League, which could free up Su Li's hand to support Zhangdian and teach the column to accept the original; The defensive position of the 4th Battalion, the defense of the National Youth League in Zhangdian is like an iron wall.

Sun Zhiyu was really relieved of Zhangdian, so he moved the entire regimental command center to the Zhangdian defensive position, and commanded the battle of the Zhangdian position.

Zhangdian position in the original devil's fortifications and added a number of horizontal and vertical trenches and tunnels, divided into five lines of defense, each line of defense trench has several traffic tunnels, Mingbao hidden pillboxes dozens, plus a few mortar positions, once fired, then only see a dense network of fire and countless revenge muzzle flames.

There are three important ways for the National Youth League to win battles often; building fortifications; Strong and refined; Obedience to unity, especially in the positional defensive warfare, the Japanese army often suffers the loss of the National Youth League, the Japanese army has always thought that the Chinese army does not have strong fire support, so the positional war is vulnerable, but every time it encounters the position of the National Youth League, it is like biting a steel plate, as hard as biting a steel plate, the most important thing is that they pay great attention to the construction of fortifications and reasonable arrangements, of course, there is no shortage of those experts and officers who can fight positional warfare in the National Youth League.

Sun Zhiyu is an expert in positional warfare, he looked at every officer in the command headquarters and said with a long sigh of relief: "Hmm! All right! We may not have enough troops, and there are no tactics to use in this battle. We are facing a fierce battle. ”

Leng Bing said on the side: "Chief of Staff! We've got all the ingredients in place now. We divided the defensive position into five lines, and at the junction of the third and fourth lines of defense, we took advantage of the previously dry riverbed and widened and deepened it into an impenetrable anti-tank trench. Each of our defensive positions is equipped with a large number of forts and pillboxes. ”

Sima Feng continued: "The place we are staying in now is the core of the fifth line of defense. This was originally a hill, after our construction, it is now the command center of the Zhangdian defense line, there are three layers of shooting holes up and down, fifty firing holes, with this command headquarters as the core, and a series of trenches and tunnels are connected, although it is the last line of defense, but it is also the strongest line of defense. ”

Sun Zhiyu looked around and said, "It seems! You've put a lot of thought into it! How is the current deployment of troops? ”

Yuan Feng immediately replied: "Now most of our army is almost pressed on the first line of defense. The devil can be said to be unable to move an inch. ”

Sun Zhiyu looked at the sand table of the commander's general heart and said to himself: "Our first line of defense has a weakness. ”

"What?" Zhang Wenshan looked at the sand table nervously when he heard this, but he didn't see the name after all.

Sun Zhiyu still looked at the sand table and said, "Order all troops to withdraw to the second line of defense." ”

"What? Remove? Leng Bing couldn't believe his ears and asked, "Chief of Staff!" Why withdraw? ”

Sun Zhiyu pointed to the sand table and said: "Our first line of defense, the left flank is exposed, the devils have not yet been discovered, once discovered, we will return to the middle of our first to second line and surround all my large troops." Blow up all the forts and retreat! ”

Zhang Wenshan looked at the side sand table in the search for the feather and found that he really said to himself: "No wonder! This son is known as a military genius. ”

Sun Zhiyu picked up the binoculars and looked at the position and said, "The troops are not allowed to withdraw to the third line of defense at will without my orders. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Wenshan thought for a moment and said, "Are we telegraphing the situation here in Tuanzuo?" ”

Sun Zhiyu thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's necessary." He's annoying enough, too. ”

After a burst of fierce machine gun fire in the towers of Caojiazhuang, I saw a group of soldiers of the National Youth League braving the rain of bullets and bullets through the firepower network, Shen Shaofan was also among them, he leaned on the watchtower and poked his head down to make a gesture towards Xue **, Xue ** lowered his head and said softly: "Brothers, I counted to three, and fired at the watchtower in front to cover the head of the regiment to capture the watchtower in front." He checked the sniper step in his hand, looked at Shaofan, and bowed his head at him.

Shaofan also bowed his head knowingly and said, "Everyone, pay attention." As soon as Company Commander Xue opened fire, we formed three echelons to charge at the watchtower in front and capture the watchtower as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Shaofan waved his hand at Xue ** and saw Xue ** shouting: "One; Two; Three fire! I saw several soldiers shooting at the watchtower in front of them at the same time. Shaofan saw that the devil was suppressed by Xue ** and others, and shouted: "Up! Above! Above! Fast! Fast! Fast! "I saw five or six soldiers running wildly, and the devil's machine-gun bullets jumped out at their feet; Just as their heads flew by, Shaofan gasped and ran to the door of the watchtower with that shaky gaze.

"Grenades!" Shaofan shouted loudly, and saw two soldiers kicking their feet and throwing two grenades at the same time, and the three of them leaned against the wall together, and after a huge explosion of smoke and gunpowder ash flew out, the three of them slowly groped into the watchtower with guns.

Xue ** also took a few soldiers to attack the watchtower, and when he heard a burst of gunfire from upstairs, Xue ** ran upstairs to see it, took a long sigh of relief, put the sniper step on his shoulder, and smiled at Shaofan, and saw several devils lying in the corridor.

Xue ** smiled: "We have controlled all the watchtowers, what should we do next?" ”

"Compress the encirclement." Shen Shaofan smiled and said.

At this time, Mitani Kuzhi and Shimizu Setsuro were already sitting on pins and needles, constantly calling Xia County to ask for support, but Xia County did not want to support Caojiazhuang, but the troops were firmly nailed there on Highway 6, Japan did not expect that the Chinese army on Highway 6 had never taken a step back from the original ambush to the current position, and he had already had a lot of troops blocked on Highway 6.

The Zhongtiao Mountain Theater seems to be chaotic, in fact, the situation is still controlled by the squadron, especially Zhangdian, at this time the battle situation seems to have changed again, the focus of the whole battle seems to have shifted from Caojiazhuang to Zhangdian, the Japanese army's support for Caojiazhuang was blocked, Kawagishi Bunzaburo simply came to a Li Dai Taozhuang plan, and the troops who came to support Caojiazhuang were put into the attack on Zhangdian.

The Japanese army in Caojiazhuang could not get timely assistance, and Mitani Kunao and Shimizu Setsuro had to try to break through, but because they lost the best opportunity to break through at the beginning, their two wings had now been defeated by the National Youth League 1; 4. The reconnaissance four battalions and the pistol company were divided and surrounded in a few narrow places in Caojiazhuang, and in the evening of the next day, the wings of Mitani Jiuzhi and Shimizu Setsuro were really unbearable, and at the same time in the evening, they broke through to the west gate of Caojiazhuang and threw all the night raiders of the Imperial Association Army and the poor Sanzi in the village.

Highway 6 also had a dramatic variable, the Japanese army's support forces could not open Highway 6, so all the troops turned back to the temple, and threw the main force on the defensive position of the National Youth League in Zhangdian, just one day changed, Zhangdian changed from an auxiliary battlefield to the pressure of the attack of two Japanese divisions, the battalion came to Highway 6, and after the colonel Peijun's troops left, the battalion took over the blocking position on the other side.

The originally bustling Highway 6 became extraordinarily quiet for a while, and the hills on both sides of the hill flickered in the evening breeze at night, flashing of bonfires. The White Dragon's spy battalion stepped out of the trenches from the dust full of gunsmoke and looked at the messy battlefield.

Bai Long and Zhao Meng were sitting around the campfire munching on steamed buns, when a telegraph man came over and handed over a telegram: "Report! Telegram from the head of the regiment! ”

Zhao Meng asked on the side, "What orders does Shaofan have?" ”

Bailong said: "The Japanese army of Shaofan is desperately breaking through in Caojiazhuang and is coming in our direction. The battle in Caojiazhuang is estimated to end in the early morning of tomorrow, regardless of whether the Japanese troops in Caojiazhuang can be completely annihilated, they will return to Zhongtiao Mountain to refocus their forces on the Zhangdian defense line, and Shaofan wants us to hold on to Highway 6 until dawn tomorrow and then return to Zhangdian. ”

Zhao Meng thought for a moment and said: "The troops of Mitani Jiuzhi and Shimizu Setsuro are retreating in a hurry, and they are bound to pass through Highway 6, it seems that we still have a battle to fight when we return to the army." ”

Bai Longsi lowered his head for a moment and said: "Now that the focus of the Japanese army has shifted to Zhangdian, I don't think the devils will have reinforcements to support the wings of Sangu and Qingshui, plus they have been tired from fighting in Caojiazhuang for a long time, we seem to be able to do it with the deal of waiting for work." ”

Zhao Meng stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth in three bites, and said with a mouth full of steamed buns: "I'll go and prepare immediately." ”

Bai Long waved his hand and said, "Slow! We can't stay in the current position. ”

Zhao Meng also echoed when he heard this, and lowered his head and said, "It's the same!" We've been fighting here for a day and a night, and no stupid devil will ever pass through here. ”

The steamed bun in Bai Long's hand was smashed by him, and he thought carefully in his heart and asked, "Lao Zhao! Where will you go? ”

Zhao Meng opened the map and pointed: "The two wings of Sangu and Qingshui will not retreat to Yuncheng, then they will choose to retreat to Xia County, if they go to Xia County, there is only one place on this road, it is ......"

"Xifengang!" Zhao Meng and Bai Long said in unison.

Bai Long looked at the map and said: "Xifengang is located in a mountainous forest, and the slope is not suitable for mechanized troops to march, no wonder the reinforcements in Xia County would rather choose Highway 6." ”

"But it's a good place for mountain troops and cavalry troops to march. I wonder if Shaofan will have an ambush there? Zhao Meng said.

Bai Long packed up his things and said, "Shaofan, this person has always been cautious in fighting, I don't think he will miss this place." Ordered the troops to transfer their positions to Xifengang. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Meng bowed his head and left.

The center of gravity shifted again, the blocking position on Highway 6 had lost its original meaning, and Bai Long and Zhao Meng turned their target to the remnants of the two wings of Sangu and Qingshui, and their troops quickly advanced towards Xifengang.

Of course, how could Shen Shaofan miss the place of Xifengang, where Morakot's cavalry company was secretly ambushed in the woods not far from Xifengang, where it was an ideal cavalry ambush, the dense jungle and the noisy forest could cover up many signs of the cavalry, they were originally here waiting for the devils to rescue the Japanese army in Caojiazhuang, but what they didn't expect was that they stayed for a day and a night and didn't see half of the devil's figure. What they didn't expect was that they were waiting for a Japanese army that had already collapsed, and at the same time, they also made a miraculous feat for the total annihilation of the two wings of Mitsuya and Shimizu.

The last battle of Caojiazhuang returned to Caogong Bridge, several Japanese troops who were divided and encircled, paid a very heavy price to converge on the Caogong Bridge, the strength of the original two wings is now less than one wing, all the troops rushed towards the west gate of Caojiazhuang, for a time, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army increased several times when the line of death, Shaofan ordered the troops to withdraw from the position just to do a little blocking, and let the devils leave Caojiazhuang.

Shen Shaofan calculated that the devils would retreat towards Xifengang, so he ordered the 4th battalion to encircle and annihilate in the back, and along the way, like rabbits, the troops of Sangu and Qingshui were driven towards Xifengang, and the troops who stayed in the village cleared the devils and the imperial army remaining in the village all the way; Traitor, of course, the poor third son can't escape.

When Setsuro Shimizu and Kunao Mitani came to Xifengang with their troops, they were already sleepy and tired, and the soldiers still had a trace of fighting spirit in order to save their lives, and they went into the dense woods. Xifengang is actually a hill, but to the west, it is a very lush wood, which extends to the outside of Xia County.
