Chapter 525: The Counterattack Begins!

Realizing the plan to counterattack on all fronts, it is possible that the little devils have already known. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the commander of the war zone, even if Li Zongren would have expected someone to leak the news, he didn't expect the news to leak so quickly.

What made Li Zongren angry and blushing the most was that the news turned out to be sent by He Zhengdao. What does this mean, this shows that when He Zhengdao met with him before, he told him that there were Japanese spies under his command, which was not nonsense.

This time, it was obviously a record given away by He Zhengdao, if it was a failure because of their intelligence leakage, Li Zongren, as the commander of the theater of operations, would not be embarrassed to see He Zhengdao next time?

As soon as he received the telegram, Li Zongren forwarded the telegram to the 71st Army, which was the main attacker. At the same time, in the telegram, Song Xilian was also secretly ordered to strictly investigate the relevant intelligence personnel of the headquarters to see if it was leaked by their army.

Song Xilian, who received the telegram, also frowned when he saw the telegram and said, "Such confidential news was leaked?" What happened to the 67th Army in advance? It seems that the reconnaissance unit of the 67th Army is indeed very powerful!

Here we are, order our reconnaissance troops on the front line to carry out reconnaissance of the rear garrisons of the Japanese army, and see what the little devils are doing at this time. We also ordered all our troops to immediately enter a combat state and be ready to counterattack on all fronts at any time. ”

Since the news may be leaked in advance, it is naturally possible that the battle for a counterattack on all fronts will start in advance. From this telegram, Song Xilian was able to confirm to some extent that the Eighth Route Army already had troops that had infiltrated the vicinity of the 16th Division.

This meant that once the battle began, they could meet the troops of the Eighth Route Army at any time. Although it was a counterattack on all fronts, Song Xilian knew that this time he counterattacked on all fronts, and his 71st Army still served as the main force.

After issuing this order, Song Xilian also found an officer from the military department who specialized in intelligence reconnaissance and ordered him to strictly investigate the leakage of the telegram. The intelligence officer was also a little surprised by this order.

Even after hearing the order, he said: "Throne, such a confidential telegram, even I didn't know about it before." I also ask the military seat to inform me that those people have been in contact with this matter before, and the lowly officials can investigate them one by one. ”

'Yes! I'll give you the list later, but when investigating, be careful not to go too far. It is possible that this news did not leak from our military headquarters. But no matter what, this kind of thing should be prevented before it happens! ’

'Yes, Throne! ’

The same thing unfolded in the rest of the troops that received the secret message. Not long after, Li Zongren received a telegram that the news had leaked from the 51st Army stationed on the periphery of Gushi. A staff officer of the military department leaked this telegram.

While the military department was conducting a secret investigation, the staff officer of the major resisted arrest and was shot dead on the spot. Following the death of this major, the 51st Army even eliminated a Japanese special high school intelligence station not far from where they were stationed.

Li Zongren, who learned the news, said angrily with panic on his face: "It is ordered that all armies and personnel who can have access to the secrets of the military department during the war will be strictly examined and supervised, and they are not allowed to leave the headquarters at will.

If anyone loses this kind of face again, don't blame me for not giving them face to these military commanders. If a good fighter plane is lost because of the leakage of intelligence in advance, which affects the entire battlefield situation, who will bear the responsibility. ”

Xu Youchang, commander of the 51st Army, who received the telegram, also felt panicked on his face. Most importantly, the major who resisted arrest and was killed was also an intelligence officer sent by the Central Army to their military headquarters.

It can be said that this is an intelligence officer of a military command. But who would have known that he was a double agent?

In the face of Li Zongren's telegram of condemnation, Xu Youchang still forwarded the news to Li Zongren. Knowing that the major who was killed turned out to be an intelligence officer sent to the 51st Army by the military commander, Li Zongren also felt that this matter was really embarrassing.

As an intelligence officer specializing in intelligence work for the national government, it turned out to be a spy bought by little devils. This kind of thing, if Lao Jiang knew about it, he would probably feel ashamed. However, this matter should not be pursued for the time being.

Tell the 51st Army to collect evidence, and when the battle is over, he will personally report the situation. When the time comes, I am afraid that the person in charge of the military command will also have to explain to Lao Jiang how their intelligence officers were instigated.

The matter about the leak of information has come to an end, and at this moment the front-line reconnaissance of the 71st Army has received an exact reply. The 16th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally stationed in the rear, was really preparing for retreat.

Even an infantry wing they sent to attack on the front line of Fujin Mountain was actually building fortifications at this moment. Even though some infantry was still sent to attack, they were more often used to confuse.

Song Xilian, who received the news, also couldn't help but be angry and said: "Raised by a dog*mother, these little devils are really too deceitful!" Send an infantry wing, just to confuse us, and they look down on people too much.

Passing on my order, the artillery units began to prepare for the shelling, while paying attention to the anti-aircraft vigilance. At the beginning of the artillery bombardment, each division launched a counterattack on the current enemy on all fronts in accordance with the predetermined order of attack, and pursued the fleeing Japanese troops as quickly as possible. ”

'Yes, Throne! ’

After Song Xilian gave the order, the artillery positions that had been hidden before were soon filled with artillery. According to data from front-line scouts, these artillerymen were also quickly ready for shelling.

When everything was ready, Song Xilian also quickly said: "Let's shoot!" ”

Those officers and men of the 71 st who were hiding in the blocking position had also received orders from the military headquarters, and although many officers and men did not understand why they had taken the initiative to attack the little devils if they did not fight a good defensive battle.

For them, it is more or less insuring to stay in a strong fortification. If they really want to rush down the mountain to melee with the little devils, they are afraid that they will choke enough. But this kind of puzzlement, they also don't dare to say anything.

As the artillery of the 71st Army began to shell, the Japanese wing commander who was staying at the bottom of the mountain and preparing to block the attack also had a headache and said: "Baga! Damn, they actually have a mountain artillery unit, which has been hidden and useless before.

Send a telegram to the division command saying that we are being shelled by them, and request tactical guidance from the air force. The same orders were given to the units and brigades to prepare for a blocking battle. It is necessary to block these attacking Chinese armies and buy time for the transfer of divisions and regiments. ”

In fact, for the Japanese infantry wing that is serving as a feint today, they did not expect that the task of a feint attack would turn into a task of blocking. But no matter what, they had to stop the 71st Army that was coming down the mountain.

If the 71st Army really wants to break through their blocking positions, it will be very difficult for their divisions to retreat. After all, with so many troops retreating, it is not easy to simply transfer the supplies they had previously delivered to the front.

And what they didn't know was that at this moment on several roads where the sixteenth division had retreated, the combat detachments of the reconnaissance brigade had already launched an operation. On these roads, mines began to be laid to delay the retreat of the 16th Division.

According to He Zhengdao's order, the task of the reconnaissance brigade this time, in addition to blocking the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which may come to help, is also to delay the retreat of the 16th Division and strive to keep the supplies of the little devils.

The three-way camouflage troops, which were originally used to confuse the little devils, were soon in the sight of the Japanese army. Even the Japanese bombers that flew over Huaibin also felt a little angry when they looked at the county town that had become empty.

After all, before they also sent fighter planes and airborne several radio stations in the county. As a result, when the plane returned, I realized that the Japanese soldiers I saw were simply disguised by the Eighth Route Army. The radio stations they voted for were all blind.

After going around and not seeing the target they wanted to bomb, all the little devil bomber could do was to drop the bomb they were carrying into Huaibin City. Looking at the constant sound of explosions, Liu Nuosheng, who stayed outside the city, was also very happy.

When he was pretending to be a little devil before, Liu Nuosheng and the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade were really worried that the little devil would drop bombs. To their surprise, the little devil's plane spun around his head from time to time, but he never dropped the bomb.

This means that the Eighth Route Army has taken the pulse of the little devil. In many cases, they can get a head start and let them escape. If they were still in Huaibin City at this time, they would hardly have to think about it, they would have paid a lot of price.

Thinking of this, Liu Nuosheng was also very happy and said: "Camp Commander Chen, thank you for reminding me this time!" ”

'Brigadier Liu is polite! It turns out that we will inevitably cooperate often in the future, and we are also allies. Since it is a friendly army, we naturally hope that your army can preserve its strength and not let the little devils succeed. However, in the future, we will strengthen air defense! ’

As the commander of the combat battalion of the 67th Army stationed in Huaibin, this Chen battalion commander knew very well that they would still have a good relationship with the Huaibin Garrison Brigade in the future. It is even possible to draw this garrison brigade to the side of the Eighth Route Army.

After the little devils bombed Huaibin City, the battle of Fujin Mountain, which had lasted for two or three days, quickly moved from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. When the artillery units of the 71st Army launched an artillery bombardment, the assault troops from all walks of life were killed from the bottom of the mountain.

Those little devils who acted as feints were soon attacked fiercely. After retreating, the little devils who were acting as feints from all walks of life quickly entered the blocking position they had built before and launched a blockade against the 71st Army.

Switching from attack to defense, many little devils also feel aggrieved. But even so, they had to stay the course. If the 71st Army really wants to break through their blocking position, their divisions will also be in danger next.

Knowing that the 71st Army had begun to counterattack, Keisuke Fujie, who was also retreating, also felt worried. After all, judging from the current situation, the situation is only very unfavorable for them.

Even though the military headquarters had already informed them, the 13th Division was sent to help. But the problem is that they are not close to the rear. This way to smoothly join the 13th Division, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

For this sharp turn for the worse, Keisuke Fujie also felt incredible. But more than that, in his heart at this moment, Keisuke Fujie is also really afraid of the troops participating in the Eighth Route Army. After all, this is a unit that has annihilated three Japanese divisions! (To be continued.) )
