Li He is the secretary of the Qianxi County Party Committee, and he came with Zhang Zizhong.

That night, under the leadership of Li He, the 52nd Army Headquarters, the directly subordinate troops and the 2nd Division began to retreat and entered Qianxi.

The road in the green gauze tent was narrow, only two meters wide, but it was very good, very strong and smooth, and it did not hinder the movement of the army much.

The road is not straight, Guan Linzheng understands that as long as he enters the green yarn tent, the army can also march during the day, and the little devil's reconnaissance plane can not easily find it.

There are ravines in the green gauze tent, and the devil's reconnaissance plane can't tell the difference between a trench and a road, and people walking on the road will also be submerged by the dense green gauze tent.

The next day, the military headquarters was stationed in Wangguanying Town, which was almost 50 miles away from Yutian and Tangshan.

After stationing, Zheng Dongguo saw that Guan Linzheng's face was very solemn, and couldn't help asking, "Junzao, is there anything wrong?" ”

After a moment of silence, Guan Lin said: "Gui Ting, in the past two days, have you found anything unusual?" ”

Hearing Guan Linzheng ask about this, Zheng Dongguo's face also sank, and he said, "I haven't seen the ordinary people here. ”

Guan Linzheng nodded.

The people are still those people, but in just one year, they feel a kind of pressure from these ordinary people.

The people here are organized, and they are so tight, so tight that they can feel an inexplicable pressure.

Guan Lin Zheng said: "Guiting, the green gauze tent here is also very particular. ”

Zheng Dongguo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Military seat, what's the point?" ”

Guan Lin Zheng said: "If we are not led by anyone and enter the green yarn tent, it may not be easy to get out." ”

Zheng Dongguo didn't understand, he looked at Guan Linzheng.

Guan Lin Zheng said: "Have you noticed that the ditch here is not one direction. ”

Zheng Dongguo thought about it, really, he understood, this green gauze tent was a huge maze.

I can't say how useful this maze is, but if it does, it might really save lives.

The key to this matter is this mind.

-- On 18 July, Fengtai Town, 70 miles southwest of Tangshan, was heavily guarded, and the premier, Mr. Peng, Han Lihong, Ji Hongchang, Song Zheyuan, Fu Zuoyi, Wei Lihuang, Yan Xishan, Tong Linge, Zhang Zizhong, Guan Linzheng, Wan Fulin, and other high-level military and political leaders in North China gathered here.

As for the battle situation, even everyone here, many of you are also in a fog and confused.

All of this was led by Han Lihong, and without him, it would be impossible for these people to sit together, so he was the core leader.

Han Lihong's face was grim, and he stood in front of the huge map, explaining his entire battle plan. Finally, he faced everyone and said, "This is the whole battle plan, what do you think, tell us." ”

It took a long time for these powerful figures to come to their senses.

Except for the Prime Minister, Mr. Peng and Song Zheyuan, even Zhang Zizhong didn't know the whole plan, so he was as shocked as everyone else.

On the side, the prime minister said: "If this plan can be realized, we will occupy a great strategic initiative, and even from now on we can no longer pose a threat." ”

Wei Lihuang said: "Mr. Han, the key to this plan is the Battle of Baoding. ”

Han Lihong said: "General Wei, the battle of Baoding is foolproof, I will let him die as much as the little devil comes." ”

Wei Lihuang nodded and stopped talking.

Han Lihong has established an incredible reputation, no matter how incredible Han Lihong said and how close it is to his own practical interests, as long as Han Lihong speaks, it seems that there is no need to doubt it at all.

These days' war briefings, not only Guan Linzheng saw it, but others also saw it, so they were very clear about the power of the green gauze tent with the trench, which was also a big reason why Han Lihong's plan shook them to the ground, but still no one questioned it.

Wan Fulin said: "Mr. Han, your plan is just one word for everyone, and the 53rd Army has nothing to say even if it is all spelled out, I only have one request." ”

Han Lihong said: "General Wan, please speak." ”

Wan Fulin said: "The little devil is the most suitable for the Iron King Eight, I hope to give us more anti-tank mines." ”

Han Lihong said: "I'm sorry, General Wan, I won't give you a single anti-tank mine." ”

Wan Fulin was stunned, and everyone else was stunned.

Han Lihong can't say it if he doesn't give it, and even if he doesn't give it, he doesn't need to be so polite, right?

Wan Fulin's face sank and asked, "Mr. Han, what do you mean?" ”

Han Lihong smiled and said, "General Wan, I want to give you something better than anti-tank mines." ”

So that's the case, Wan Fulin breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked, "Mr. Han, is it a battle defense artillery?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Han Lihong said, "It's a hundred times better than the battle defense artillery." ”

The battle defense artillery is specialized in tanks, and there is something a hundred times better than the battle defense artillery? Wan Fulin looked at Han Lihong and said, "Mr. Han, you're not kidding Wan, are you?" ”

With a solemn expression, Han Lihong said: "General Wan, just because you pin your head to the waistband of your pants to fight devils, no matter when, I respect you very much." ”

Wan Fulin felt extremely happy, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked, "Mr. Han, is there really something better than the battle defense cannon to fight the Iron King Ba?" ”

Nodding, Han Lihong said, "Let's show it to everyone now, okay?" ”

Wan Fulin was the first to support.

It was already ready, looking at the steel plate that was pierced like paper, these bits, even if they were still a little hesitant in their hearts, dissipated in the power of the new weapon of the bazooka.

At this moment, the fantastic goal that Han Lihong had just announced didn't seem so out of reach.

Confidence is the guarantee of victory, especially in a war that requires the full cooperation of many forces with different positions.

One of the most important purposes of holding this meeting and showing up the bazooka is to strengthen the confidence of these people.

As the meeting ended and the crowd dispersed, the most critical part of the plan began.

-- Another empty city.

Tangshan was also empty, which made Itagaki Seishiro feel extremely bad.

As a spy, Seishiro Itagaki is an idiot, and cutting off his heels is not as good as the one who was chopped off, but if he leads the troops to fight, Dohihara is very good, but it can't compare to Seishiro Itagaki.

After entering the Great Wall, Itagaki Seishiro fell into a strange state, on the one hand, he looked down on the Shina army, on the other hand, he was more convinced of his own strength, the Imperial Army was the most powerful army in the world, but in the face of the endless green gauze tent, there was a strong feeling that he could not make it.

Originally, the understanding of North China, especially the inner side of the Great Wall, was to a nuanced level, but the green gauze tent and the trench could hardly change everything, and they seemed to have entered a completely unknown wild land.

Moreover, this wild land is full of dangers, if you want to enter to investigate the situation, there is no possibility at all, to enter is to die, no exceptions.

In the face of all this, even if you have the means to reach the sky, even if the soldier saint Sun Wu comes, you don't have a curse.

At first, although it felt a little bad, the confidence of winning did not have much impact, but when he arrived here, facing the empty city of Tangshan, Itagaki Seishiro's heart suddenly became a little chaotic.

Tangshan is not an ordinary city, it is a strategic place, he occupies Tangshan, if under normal circumstances, the back road of more than 100,000 troops from Luo Wenyu to Shanhaiguan will be cut off, but ......--Guan Linzheng was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Under the moonlight, there was no end in sight to the dense trenches.

In order to encircle the Fifth Division and the 109th Division of the Yue Army and cut off their rear roads, the devils had to build trenches within 20 miles of Yaziyu Village, Changgezhuang Village, Gongli Village, Hemp Village, Xiliangzihe Village, and Xiyang Zhuangzi Village between Yutian and Zunhua.

The task of the 52nd Army was to block the front and rear attacks of the Yue Army in this area.

Originally, for the sake of the final victory, Guan Linzheng was prepared to fight all the 52nd Army, but now, seeing the trenches and fortifications built, he knew that no matter how hard the battle was, it would never be so miserable.

Twenty meters apart is a trench, and between the trenches there is a passage every fifteen meters. Moreover, these channels are not yet a rectum, they are funnel-shaped.

This structure is not only conducive to them to block the Japanese army that has entered the position, but also conducive to their counterattack and recapture the lost position.

Working with the devils, desperately, the 52nd Army has never been afraid, what they are afraid of is the bombing of the devils' planes and fierce artillery fire. Now, with such dense trenches, there is no fear of a surprise attack by devils, and naturally the soldiers can be dispersed to the maximum.

The devil's bomb is not endless, such a bombing method, let alone the devil, no one can stand it.

In this way, it is equivalent to greatly diluting the devil's air superiority and artillery superiority, and the rest is that everyone is desperate.

"Gui Ting, it's all like this?" After reacting, Guan Linzheng asked Zheng Dongguo beside him.

"Not only." Zheng Dongguo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Junzao, come and take a look." ”

Following Zheng Dongguo, Guan Lin went down to the trenches.

There are individual bunkers in the trenches.

The bunkers were made of reinforced concrete, half a foot thick, and could contain two soldiers and ammunition and water in each individual bunker.

Guan Linzheng's eyes widened in surprise again and asked, "Gui Ting, what's going on?" ”

Zheng Dongguo said: "The military seat, the individual bunker is assembled from several pieces. As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a protective bunker from his bunker and placed it on the edge of the trench.

This doesn't need Zheng Dongguo to explain, Guan Linzheng understands at a glance that with this individual protective bunker, the probability of casualties among soldiers must be reduced by at least half.

At this time, Zheng Hansan, the head of the regiment on the side, said: "Military seat, division seat, the Black God Army really didn't say anything, no matter what the fight is this time, the brothers have nothing to say." ”

Guan Linzheng nodded, very moved in his heart, he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Raising his eyes and looking into the distance, after looking at it for a while, Guan Linzheng asked, "Guiting, how did they do it?" ”

That's a lot of work, but it took only five hours to complete, which is incredible.

Speaking of this, Zheng Dongguo sighed lightly and said, "Junzao, [***] is really amazing, I really don't know how they organized these ordinary people." ”

Guan Linzheng understood that digging out the fortifications so quickly was not only something that could be done with a large number of people, but also had to be extremely efficient.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

At this moment, a great earthquake trembled, and ten thousand cannons rang out in the direction of Yutian more than twenty miles away.

For a long time, the fierceness of the little devil's artillery fire, everyone's impression couldn't be deeper, but at this moment, seeing that their own firepower was even more fierce than the little devil, from Guan Linzheng, the army commander, to ordinary soldiers, everyone's feelings were extremely complicated.

Proud, proud, excited, and uplifting ...... -- this night, Seishiro Itagaki slept very unsteadily, and woke up at the slightest movement.

"Your Excellency General, the 109th Division is under attack by the Chinese army in Yutian." At 2:15 a.m., Chief of Staff Nishimura Śōōsa said with a stern face.

When Itagaki Seishiro heard this, his eyes lit up, as long as the branch army has action, it will be easy to do, I am afraid that the branch army has been hiding in the dark and has not moved, which makes people's hearts furious.

From Zunhua to Yutian and then to Tangshan, a total of less than 80 kilometers, but five divisions were arranged along the line to advance in unison, and there would never be a problem, and Itagaki Seishiro never believed that the Shina army could do anything to them, which is also the reason why although it felt bad, he did not really feel any danger.

"Nishimura-kun, what's the situation?" After a deep groan, Seishiro Itagaki asked.

"The attack of the Shina people is extremely fierce, and we have suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the Yamaoka Heavy Division requests our reinforcements." Nishimura Lewin Road.

Seishiro Itagaki was taken aback and asked, "Nishimura-kun, how can this be?" ”

Nishimura Levin said: "The artillery fire of the people of China is extremely fierce. ”

Not good! Itagaki Seishiro's face changed suddenly.

--- Shouichi Terauchi's heels are green.

In the early morning of two days ago, the Chinese army cut off the road between Zunhua and Yutian and launched an attack on the 109th Division.

Subsequently, the entire line of the Chinese army abandoned the defense line of the Great Wall.

However, the Chinese army abandoned the Great Wall defense line, but did not give up resistance, but moved the position from the Great Wall Pass to the Qingsha tent.

The green gauze tent, which was used in military affairs, was originally only used for guerrillas, but in the hands of the Zhina people, the green gauze tent turned decay into magic, and became the most terrible nightmare for the attackers.

With the help of green gauze tents and trenches, the Chinese army increased the intensity of their resistance, and their casualties increased significantly.

Moreover, although the strength of the resistance of the Chinese army has increased, it is very obvious that the intensity of this resistance is far from reaching the limit.

It was already clear that the people of China had trapped the 5th Division and the 109th Division in order to force them to fight a decisive battle in the green gauze tent.

All their advantages over the people of China will be either completely offset or greatly offset in the green yarn tent, and the rest may only be the quality of individual soldiers, and the quality of individual soldiers will also be greatly offset by the green yarn tent.

Terauchi Shouichi's heart was full of despair, this battle, they would lose, but it was only a defeat, but for him, it must be ruined.

The Chi man was so cunning that he knew it was a trap, but he had to keep jumping, and no one could stop him. This is because of the two divisions that were trapped, and even more because of the 300,000 troops of the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

If there were no 300,000 troops going north, there might still be a chance to break the wrist of the strong man and abandon the two divisions that were trapped, but because of the 300,000 troops going north, all this was no longer possible.

---Seishiro Itagaki had a blue face, he was immersive, and he felt the predicament he was facing more deeply than Shouichi Terauchi.

It was terrible here, he attacked tentatively, but the results clearly showed that the casualties were not bearable.

The command sent an order, what to do, he can decide with full authority, now, it is inevitable that his Fifth Division and the 109th Division will join forces, and the next choice to make is to stick to Tangshan or Yutian?

Holding on to Yutian can cooperate with reinforcements to attack the Chinese army that has cut off their back route, but in this way, it is equivalent to abandoning the predetermined strategy.

Holding on to Tangshan, it will be more and more difficult for reinforcements to rescue them, but once the rescue is successfully implemented, it is still possible to achieve the predetermined strategic goals.

What to do?

--Holding the binoculars, Seishiro Itagaki and Shigehou Yamaoka both had fire-breathing eyes, and they both felt like they were going to vomit blood.

They changed their methods of attack, but without exception, they were useless.

At first, after bombing and heavy shelling, the infantry attacked again, which failed; After that, risking their own artillery bombardment, they launched an attack in advance, but failed.

The position of the Chinese army is like a large elastic net, no matter how far they rush out, they will not be able to break through the net, and once they reach the limit, the net will return to its original state.

Fighting for positions with the Chinese in a trench like a dense web is the best result is that you die and I die.

There is no doubt that they cannot afford to fight like this, because once the consumption reaches a certain level, the Chinese army surrounded in all directions will definitely launch a full-scale attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Is it to stick to Tangshan, or to stick to Yutian? In order to make this decision, Seishiro Itagaki came to Tamada, and he wanted to see it for himself.

Itagaki Seishiro was originally extremely arrogant, but at this moment, he was also afraid. No longer hesitating, Seishiro Itagaki ordered the whole army to hold on to Tamada.

――――Boom!

Rumble!

Rumble!

"Yaga!" Itachi started again, and Seishiro Itagaki and Shigehou Yamaoka were so angry that they were going crazy.

This is a shell fired from an eighty-eight-millimeter anti-aircraft gun bought by the Black God Army from Germany.

The 88-mm anti-aircraft guns could fire more than 14 kilometers at a distance, while their most powerful cannons were 75-mm mountain guns and field guns, which could only hit 6 kilometers at most, so they had no way to deal with the shelling of the Chinese army.

This kind of gas, how can this imperial army ever suffer!

It's just that now you don't have to accept it.

Rushing up is to find death, sneak attack, and there is no way, and all around them, they are not only surrounded by boundless green gauze tents, but also full of mines.

Damn the Shina people are torturing them, not letting them sleep, not getting a moment of peace.

During the day, the Chinese army harassed them with this eighty-eight-millimeter anti-aircraft gun; At night, they were bombarded with 75-millimeter mountain artillery.

Whether it is day or night, they have no rut at all, and they can only be beaten.

There is something even more hateful, the people of China dig tunnels, like ground rats, and suddenly appear at any time and where, and disappear again after a sneak attack.

This kind of fighting is simply torturing people to death.

If this continues, how much combat power will they have left in a month or two? They are like a huge camel, and the despicable Shina people torture them little by little, making them weak all the time, so that they can finally give them a fatal blow.
