Cangyan Mountain, headquarters of the 39th Army.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and the war room was still brightly lit and crowded.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Liu Yi rushed into the war room and said to Yue Weihan: "General, the new 9th Division set up an ambush near Guanglu Mountain, and completely annihilated Cai Xiongfei's puppet 8th Division in one fell swoop, killing more than 1,000 people and capturing more than 6,000 people!" However, Chi Chengfeng, this kid, was too murderous, and he actually hacked Cai Xiongfei, who had surrendered, alive in public. ”

"Split it, split it, isn't it just a dog." Yue Weihan said indifferently.

Liu Yi nodded, and said: "In addition, the new 53rd Regiment also defeated the puppet 7th Division, the new 51st Regiment and the New 52nd Regiment also completely gained the upper hand in the battle with the 5th Division of the Yue Army, and the commander of the New 51st Regiment, Ma Zhenting, even fought an ambush by the Yehe River, and completely annihilated the squadron of chariots of the Yue Army that went out of the city to assault, the total seat, and twenty chariots!" ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan nodded happily and said, "What about the new 39th Division?" ”

"There is no news from the new 39th Division for the time being......" Before Liu Yi's words fell, Colonel Liu Xin hurriedly walked into the war room.

"The main seat." Colonel Liu Xin stood upright and saluted Yue Weihan with a standard military salute, "The new 39th Division has made an urgent telegram that the 13th Division belonging to the 6th Group Army of the puppet North China Public Security Army has been completely annihilated ten minutes ago, of which more than 500 people have been killed and more than 4,000 people have been captured, and the number of guns and ammunition seized is still under tight statistics. ”

"Hehe, the new 39th Division has also finished its work." Liu Yi smiled when he heard this.

"Hmm." Yue Weihan said happily, "I really want to see Okamura Ningji's expression at this moment." ”

………… Shimen, the headquarters of the North China Front.

"What!?" Hearing this, Okamura Ninji got up, glared at Major General Hirata, and said in disbelief, "The 8th and 13th divisions of the Imperial Alliance Army were all wiped out, and the 7th division was defeated?" ”

"Hello." Hirata Masaki bowed his head suddenly, his expression gloomy.

Now it seems that the deployment of the nine divisions of the Imperial Allied Army in the first line was a complete mistake!

The opposite squadron only launched a night assault, and actually annihilated two divisions of the Imperial Allied Army, plus defeated one division, so that the first batch of nine divisions of the Imperial Allied Army lost one-third of its strength at once, and at such a rate of attrition, it could not last for three days, and all the Imperial Allied Army formations might be canceled.

Okamura Ningji also pointed at these imperial alliance troops as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect to make this scene!

"Yaga Yaru!" Okamura Ninji said angrily, "Sand, this is simply an army made of sand!" ”

After a long time, Okamura Ningji calmed down the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice: "Order, the 5th and 10th divisions immediately deploy on the line from Pingshan to Zanhuang, and rush to repair the fortifications overnight to prevent the night attack of the Chinese army!" Send a telegram to Beiping again, and order Qi Xieyuan to transfer the 2nd Army of the Imperial Association Army to Shimen! ”

"Hello." Hirata Masashi bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order away.

………… March 21, the thirtieth year of the Republic of China (1941), at 7 a.m.

As soon as the sky was brightened, more than 100 heavy artillery pieces of the 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Yue Army began to bombard the Tumen Fortress, and after the two test firings, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces began to fire at a continuous rapid rate, and tons and tons of grenades poured into the various hills of the Tumen Fortress as if they did not want money.

Suddenly, the various hills of the Tumen Fortress were blown to earth and rocks, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

Half an hour after the bombardment, the first batch of bombers from the air regiment directly under the North China Front Army also arrived, and dozens of fighter-bombers formed a formation of three planes in more than a dozen echelons, swooping down from the sky one after another, throwing heavy aerial bombs one after another on the various hills of the Tumen Fortress.

………… The main bunker of Baoqian Mountain, the second floor underground.

There was silence in the rest room deep underground, only the huge explosion transmitted from the surface of the earth, which shook everyone's eardrums, and at this moment, even the solid reinforced concrete floor was shaking, and the light bulbs on the ceiling were shaking violently, and the light cast by them became flickering and dimming...... However, Li Qinglong looked calm, and was even in the mood to make coffee.

Li Qinglong's only left eye squinted slightly, his calm kung fu is by no means pretended, for the bunker fortification group of Tumen Fortress, this one-eyed dragon does have enough confidence, the little devil's heavy bomb is powerful, but it can't drill into the ground, if you want to destroy the bunker fortification group of Tumen Fortress, don't even think about it.

"Dandan, sing a little song." The one-eyed dragon suddenly turned his head and looked at the attendant lieutenant beside him with a smile.

Since Yuhu became Yue Weihan's attendant adjutant, the senior generals of the 39th Group Army have been very hot-eyed, and they all want to find themselves a beautiful and powerful attendant adjutant, there are many beautiful female soldiers in the group army, but there are few powerful ones, so until now, only the one-eyed dragon has fulfilled his wish and conquered Major Hu Dan of the communication team.

Major Hu Dan was born in the military command, and once hunted Sakagaki Seishiro with Liu Tiezhu's special operations team, although her skills are not as good as those demonic soldiers in the special operations brigade, but three or five ordinary soldiers are really not her opponents, so Li Qinglong is undoubtedly quite satisfied with Hu Dan, the attendant adjutant and lover.

Hu Dan couldn't help but glance at Li Qinglong, and said angrily: "When is this, are you still in the mood to listen to Xiaoqu?" ”

"What time is this? When it's time to shoot! Li Qinglong suddenly stretched out his right hand, hugged Hu Dan's small waist, and then forcibly hugged her plump and delicate body to his thigh, Hu Dan took a sip, but he didn't mean to resist, anyway, this is Li Qinglong's officer's lounge, and no one will come in and disturb without permission.

………… The shelling and bombardment lasted exactly two hours!

It was not until 9 o'clock in the morning that the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Army's field heavy artillery stopped shelling, and the six batches of more than 200 bombers that arrived in the air regiment directly under the North China Front Army also threw away all the bombs and carried out several rounds of dive and strafing at the Tumen Fortress, which was filled with gunsmoke, and finally flapped their wings and returned home.

At 9:15 a.m., the army finally began its ground offensive.

Li Qinglong, who had just gone up to the ground observation post, looked out through the artillery mirror, and could vaguely see about two squadrons of devil infantry driving more than 1,000 puppet troops into a fan-shaped straggler formation, slowly approaching the outermost trench of Tumen Fortress.

The three trenches on the periphery of the Tumen Fortress were silent, and not even a figure was visible.

Seeing that the [***] position on the opposite side had no reaction, the devil puppet army suddenly began to accelerate.

When the devil puppet army was still two hundred meters away from the outer trenches, hundreds of [***] officers and soldiers suddenly came out of the trenches, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and dozens of mortars had been erected, and the next moment, the dense machine gun fire suddenly covered the entire wilderness in front of the Tumen fortress.

The puppet army that was charging forward suddenly fell down one by one.

The devil soldiers hiding behind are not much better, they are the focus of dozens of mortars in [***].

The first attack of the devil puppet army only lasted less than ten minutes, and then retreated in a hurry, but hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield, and there were many more devil puppet soldiers who were only wounded, and were lying in a pool of blood struggling, wailing, and moaning...... Immediately afterwards, the army began to retaliate against the shelling of the surname, and the little devil was still the same.

However, this time, it was no longer the hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment that carried out the shelling, but the field artillery wings of the various field divisions and regiments of the Chinese Army, and in a short period of half an hour, hundreds of field howitzers of the 17th, 18th, and 20th Divisions of the Chinese Army poured hundreds of tons of shells into the Tumen Fortress.

Then, the army began a second attack.

In the face of the strong Tumen fortress and a complete defense system, the army did not have many options.

Heavy artillery can't be blown up, aerial bombs can't be blown up, and the army can only use crowd tactics to consume [***] ammunition.

In fact, not only the army, but also the most elite German army in the world, in the face of strong fortress fortifications, there are also not many ways, when the German army blitzkrieg attack on France a few years ago, it was also because the German army took the Netherlands and Belgium by surprise, bypassing the strong Maginot Line, and finally drove straight into Paris to succeed.

Okamura Ninji originally had a chance to bypass the fortified Tumen Fortress, and the Yue Army originally had a chance to start a brutal war of attrition with the [***]39th Army in the Taihang Mountains on both sides of the Tumen Fortress, but unfortunately, the Tojo Rank and File, who were far away in Tokyo, made a stupid decision, forcing Okamura Ninji and the Yue Army to storm the Tumen Fortress.

Under the powerful and dense firepower of [***], the second attack of the puppet army was quickly repulsed.

Hundreds of corpses were once again left on the battlefield, and many of those wounded in the last attack died because they were not treated in time.

Then the army began a third round of shelling.

Then it was the fourth charge of the puppet army.

It was only when it was completely dark that the army ended its ninth attack.

At this time, the wilderness outside the Tumen fortress was already full of corpses, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than 2,000 corpses, not counting the wounded who had not yet breathed, of course, the vast majority of them were the two devils of the puppet North China Autonomous Army, and the number of devil soldiers killed in the battle was relatively small, and the total number of them was only five or six hundred.

The army did not mean to take advantage of the darkness to rescue the wounded, and it was impossible for [***] to repay the grievances with virtue.

For the two devils who aided the abuse, the officers and men of the [***] 39th Group Army will never have the slightest mercy.

In the eyes of the [***] soldiers, these two devils are no longer Chinese when they put on the dog skin, and shooting them is not a psychological burden at all.

………… Shimen, the headquarters of the North China Front.

Hirata opened the folder and reported to Okamura Ninji the battle damage of the puppet army after a day of fierce fighting: "The 18th Infantry Regiment of the 114th Division suffered 547 people, and more than 100 people were seriously wounded, the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the Imperial Allied Army lost more than 2,000 people, and the 8th Flying Regiment of the Aviation Regiment directly under the Front Army lost two medium bombers (shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns). ”

After listening to Hirata's report, the corners of Okamura Ninji's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently twice.

In one day, just one day of fierce fighting, there were more than 600 casualties of elite infantry, this is basically the basic combat unit of an infantry brigade, although there are more than 1,000 people in an infantry brigade, but the real infantry is more than 700 people, according to the consumption rate of an infantry brigade every day, a wing can be defeated in three days, and a division can be defeated in 12 days!

And according to the results of the war games of the General Staff, the [***] team of the Tumen Fortress can hold out for at least four months!

In other words, if the Yue army chooses to attack to the end, it is likely to lose ten field divisions before it can take Tumen Fortress, and there must be enough puppet troops to serve as cannon fodder for the Yue army, judging by the casualty ratio of the Yue army and the puppet army after the first day of attack, the loss of the puppet army will be as high as 50 divisions!

This is an extremely terrifying number, and the puppet North China Security Army now has a total of only 18 divisions.

When Okamura Ninji was secretly frightened, the attendant adjutant suddenly entered and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, General Qi Xieyuan, Commander-in-Chief of the North China Security Army, has asked to see you. ”

"Qi Xieyuan?" Okamura Ninji frowned and ordered, "Bring him in." ”

"Hello." The attendant adjutant took the order and quickly walked into the office with Qi Xieyuan.

"Qi San, welcome to you." Okamura Ninji stepped forward with a warm face and hugged Qi Xieyuan warmly.

Qi Xieyuan is a thin little old man, and he is even more of a hardcore man, but he is still dissatisfied with Okamura Ningji taking his troops as cannon fodder, and he said with a sad face at the moment: "Okamura Taijun, the losses of the Emperor's Cooperative Army in the past two days are too great, can the Imperial Army take the lead in tomorrow's attack?" ”

"Yaga!" Hirata said angrily, "Yours, dare to talk to the imperial army about conditions? ”

"Hirata-kun!" Okamura Ningji glared coldly at Hirata Masa, and then said to Qi Xieyuan with a smile on his face, "Qi Sang, the casualties of the Imperial Cooperative Army in the past two days are indeed very large, but tomorrow the Imperial Cooperative Army will still have to take the lead in the main attack, please understand this, but as compensation, after the Battle of Taihang Mountain, I can consider expanding the Imperial Cooperative Army." ”

"Oh? I wonder how many group armies Okamura Taijun plans to add to our Imperial Army? Qi Xieyuan suddenly had some thoughts, as an officer leading the troops, he hoped that the larger the size of his troops, the better, this is like a gambler, the army is the bet in his hand, the more troops, the more sufficient the bet, and the more he wins.

Okamura Ningji said: "Qi Sang, how about giving you the establishment of eight more group armies?" ”

"Please rest assured that our Imperial Alliance Army will swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor to the death!" Qi Xieyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking about this old thing, as long as Okamura Ningji agreed to expand the organization, it didn't matter if all the eight group armies were wiped out now, anyway, there were young people in North China, as long as the empire did not fall, the troops could be pulled up again at any time.
