Chapter 442: Heavy Rain

Whoa, whoa, whoa

The soldiers of the brigade stepped on the muddy road with their feet in the stagnant water, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The rain drenched their bodies, but the weather made all the soldiers happy, because this kind of weather meant that the Japanese planes would no longer appear on their heads, and the Japanese artillery would be greatly reduced. From time to time, someone slipped and fell to the ground in a hurry, but the soldier who had turned into a clay figure would immediately get up again. Some of them simply took off their shoes because the military glue was too slippery and uncomfortable to step on the ground with wet mush. At every stretch of the road, you can see military trucks lying in the rain and stuck in the muddy ground, with the help of some people, holding straw and wooden planks in the muddy puddles under the wheels to help the truck drive out of this ghost place.

"Moving your mouth above, running rotten feet below, really, can't it rain a little bit in this hellish weather?" A soldier pulls out a muddy shoe and brings out a trail of muddy water.

"Be quiet, fuck, ahead." The comrade-in-arms next to him reminded in a low voice.

"Master!" The soldiers in front had already saluted.

"Excuse me, excuse me, hurry up when you should hurry." Liu Zhendong waved his hand impatiently, although his military boots were deep, they were really difficult to walk on this kind of road, and when he stepped down and lifted it again, his shoes looked like they were going to fall inside.

"Brother Yaoguang, don't leave it at that, I'll leave my flank to you." Liu Zhendong straightened the raincoat on his body a little and said.

"I wish Brother Shouyi a victory! Just leave the flanks to me. Jin Kuibi bowed to Liu Zhendong.

"I don't worry about you doing things, go, don't go. Later, the military seat sent telegrams one after another. Don't overdo these thousands of devils. I'm afraid I'll be overtaken by the military seat when I go back, and I made a military order before I came out. Liu Zhendong waved his hand and strode forward, without the help of the guards, and stepped on the horse quickly.

Watching the guards pull Liu Zhendong's horse away in the rain, Jin Kuibi thought of what Liu Zhanxiong had said to him before, and felt quite emotional, it stands to reason that Liu Zhendong is also one of the commanders of the main division in the northwest, but Liu Zhanxiong is a military commander from an outsider, and he can also do military orders. is also a general in the Northeast Army, Jin Kuibi often contacts Wu Keren's side, and Li Chunrun, who is also there, has not disobeyed Wu Keren's military orders, and the Northwest Army in front of him does seem to know the general situation. Previously, Liu Zhanxiong led the military headquarters to directly block the onslaught of a wing and an independent tank squadron, and now Liu Zhendong, as the division commander, personally led his troops to attack in the rain. Even without those trucks, the Northwest Army still showed amazing tenacity. It seems that the strength of the Northwest Army is not only those luxurious equipment, even these division commanders and officers are extremely daring to fight. That's it alone. In the past, the Northeast Army could never do it, but now it is under the persecution of national hatred and family hatred. In the face of the Northeast Army pointed out by Qianfu, it suddenly issued a strong will to fight.

Herod

Mules and horses, war horses pulled heavy carts in the tow of soldiers, helping their men all the way forward.

Boom

The sound of guns and artillery in the area of Sanhe Town did not stop all night, and He Songling had been fighting hard with Nagasai Tokutaro until the back, when the Tong Zeguang Brigade of the former 29th Army, who was resting in Baoding, personally led a unit to Cuizhuang Town to attack the Nagai Tokugawa Wing, sharing part of the pressure, and He Songling dragged the main force of the Japanese Wing. Originally, the equipment of Tong Zeguang's brigade was slightly backward, and it was very difficult for the Northwest Army to replenish its own heavy weapons at this time, but it was only a certain amount of machine guns and small-caliber artillery for Tong Zeguang's brigade. Under the rain wash, the Japanese army made a certain discount in both artillery bombardment and infantry shooting.

"Hey, what, Senior Commander Liu arrived with his troops quickly? Okay, okay, my side can launch an attack at any time to cooperate with Division Commander Liu. ”

Tong Zeguang heard He Songlin's voice on the phone, and his face was full of joy under the lights.

Syllable! When he hung up the phone, Li Jiusi, who was dressed in rain, pushed the door in, "Brigade, the resistance of the Japanese army over there in Santaizizhuang is quite fierce, we don't have many hole cards in our hands, Brigade Seat transferred the last mortar company to me, and I will definitely win Santaizizhuang tonight!" ”

Li Jiusi wiped the rain from his face, pushed the door and said loudly.

"No need, take back your regiment for me, let's take Li Zhuang and Heilongkou first." Tong Zeguang smiled and said.

"Take it back? Let's not fight Santaizizhuang, no, the main force of Division Commander Liu has arrived? Li Jiusi was stunned for a moment, but in the end, he was extremely experienced in battle, and it was impossible for Tong Zeguang to let go of Santaizizhuang and not fight, so he quickly reacted that it must be the main force of the Northwest Army that surrounded and annihilated the Japanese army.

"Good guy, this time I see that the Japanese army can still fly into the sky." Li Jiusi slapped it on the table, they said it was a brigade, but in fact, after the rectification, it has only recovered to more than 3,000 people. At this time, the main attack in the area of Sanhe Town was still the main force of the Northwest Army on He Songlin's side. At this time, the Japanese army was stubbornly resisting, and Li Jiusi originally felt that the strength of the attack in his hand was not enough, and at this time, the front line responsible for the attack was shortened by one-third, and Li Jiusi had a lot more confidence in his heart.

"There is not much time left for us, regardless of casualties, and finish off the Japanese army in front of us as quickly as possible. We have less than twenty-four hours left. Tong Zeguang said with a solemn face.

"What, the town of Xiongzhou is so miserable?" Li Jiusi said with an incredible face, he has seen the combat strength of the Northwest Army, the main force of the 16th Division in Xiongzhou Town has more than 5,000 people, and there is also a brigade of the 41st Army, although it is a little worse, there are more than 3,000 people, adding up to more than 8,000 defenders, the situation is so critical.

"The main force of the 5th Division, as well as a division of the 20th Division. The division commander of the Japanese army, Gu Shoufu, was crazy this time, and took the 20th Division to personally supervise the battle in the area of Xiongzhou Town, and the Japanese troops concentrated in Xiongzhou Town now not only exceeded 7,000, but also the follow-up Japanese reinforcements continued to arrive. Division Commander Li's side can withstand it for the time being, but if the delay lasts for a long time, we are all in danger of being caught up by the Japanese army. ”

Tong Zeguang said, the original plan of the Battle of Baoding Shijiazhuang was to rely on the defensive line that had been gradually built between the two places to fight a defensive war, this time the initiative to counterattack Xiongzhou Town was only because of the fighter planes that suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhao Tieshu's 2nd Army could only draw part of its troops, if it could not encircle and annihilate these four brigades before the arrival of the Japanese army, then it could only choose to give up. Even if the Northwest Army did not rely on effective fortifications and directly fought with the Japanese army, it would be extremely disadvantageous, after all, the heavy artillery of the Central Plains Field Corps at this time was not as good as the Japanese army. What's more, Zhao Tieshu's 2nd group has not yet been equipped with heavy artillery. (To be continued.) )
