Outside the south of Baishan County, inside Liu Hua's headquarters, it can be described as busy. Because of the four main attacking forces, the attack was overwhelming. All kinds of battle reports from the front line, like snow huā, flew into Liu Hua's hands.

"Commander, commander of the 2nd Division, Yu Keqin, reported that after the troops entered the city, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army. In the county seat, the remnants of the Japanese army were like crazy. Almost every house had to be fought for with our army, and the attacking troops were completely mired in street fighting. ”

"So far, the progress of the troops has been slow, and the ratio of losses between the enemy and the enemy has reached an astonishing one to one, and these casualty figures only represent the number of casualties." Wang Qiang took a battle report he had just received, and rushed to Liu Hua with an anxious face to report.

Regarding the report of division commander Wang Qiang, Liu Hua did not answer immediately, but asked Wang Qiang in front of him: "Well, how is the situation of the third division, the first division, and the fifth column from the south?" ”

"The three regiment commanders of the 1st Division have just sent a battle report, and the situation encountered by the troops is similar to that of the 2nd Division. The same situation was encountered by the 3rd Division, as well as by the 5th Column. At present, every step forward of the troops into the city has to pay a huge price in casualties, and the progress is very slow. Wang Qiang replied with a frown.

"It seems that the xiǎo devil is ready to do the battle of the trapped beasts." Commander Liu Hua couldn't help muttering to himself.

However, in just a moment, a thick murderous aura appeared on Liu Hua's face, and then he ordered with a sneer.

"Since the xiǎo devil wants to go crazy, then let's fulfill him and let him go crazy without an object. Ordered all troops to stop the attack immediately and build a defensive line on the spot to prevent the Xiǎo devils from counterattacking. At the same time, Chōu transferred four infantry artillery companies to reinforce each of the four attacking units. Tell the commanders at all levels to use artillery shells to open the way for me and blow up the entire Baishan county to the ground. Let the xiǎo devils have nowhere to hide, and let the county seat of Baishan become the tomb where they are buried. ”

"Yes, Commander, I'll give the order right away...."

With the assistance of a ménmén infantry cannon, it is no longer a problem to stand in front of the fighters and let the xiǎo devils serve as shelter houses. In the rumbling sound of cannonballs, one house after another, in the explosion of shells, turned into a pile of rubble. As for the xiǎo devil who was hidden in the house and was ready to fight the trapped beasts, there was no accident, and he was directly buried under the heavy rubble, and his life and death were uncertain.

In this way, the four attacking forces once again broke through and quickly advanced to the headquarters of the Japanese division. At its own speed, it shrank its own encirclement and compressed the living space of the Japanese army in Baishan County. And the ending of the whole battle, at this moment, is also very clearly manifested in front of everyone.

However, just when the two main regiments of the fifth column, which was the main attack in Mén, south of Baishan County, had just broken through the city defense and were about to break inward, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, who was protected by more than 300 devils Jīng Rui, had quietly moved to a distance of less than 50 meters from the entrance of the city.

Seeing that directly opposite him, almost a regiment of troops of the Eighth Route Army. Originally thinking of the muddy water mōfish, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto quietly slipped out of the county seat of Baishan. can only change his original intention and change the sneak attack to a strong attack.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto immediately summoned his subordinates, all the captains of the two infantry squadrons, pointed to the city wall a few hundred meters away, which was still belching smoke, and said, "Warriors, as long as we can break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in front of us, we will be able to successfully break through. Therefore, I hope that everyone, in the battle to be waiting, will bravely kill the enemy, and launch an attack on the troops of the Eighth Route Army with the mentality of being the emperor at any time.

Just as Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's words fell, seven or eight, who had already been nurtured by the god of bushido jīng and had already become die-hard militarists, the captain of the squadron, replied in unison.

"Please rest assured that the division commander will live up to his expectations, and ask the division commander to give an order..."

"Yo Xi, very good...", Lieutenant General Yoshimoto nodded with satisfaction in response to everyone's answers. Immediately, he ordered with a serious face.

"The guard squadron, divided into three, with the xiǎo team as a unit, launched a surprise attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side from three directions, attracting the limited forces on the defense line of the Eighth Route Army. Remember, in the process of attacking, you must be fierce and ruthless, and play the momentum of our Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Division Commander, that you will be humbled to complete the mission...", under the gaze of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the four officers of the guard squadron replied in unison.

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto nodded with satisfaction, and then set his eyes on several officers of the Flag Squadron.

"The Flag Squadron, under my personal command. The main forces of the Eighth Route Army, which were on the opposite side, were successfully attracted by the attack of the guard squadron. The flag squadron immediately concentrated its forces, looked for the most effective breakthrough, and launched a surprise attack. In the shortest possible time, rush out of Baishan County. ”

"Hello..."

"Very good, give everyone five minutes to prepare. Five minutes later, the squadron of guards immediately began to move. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto finally ordered. Immediately, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, accumulating physical strength for the surprise attack to be held.

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye. The squadron leader of the guard squadron stood in front of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto with a resolute face and began to say his final goodbyes:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Guards Squadron will definitely not disappoint your expectations. Even if all the soldiers are crushed, it is necessary to talk about the main force of the Eighth Route Army to attract them. However, after leaving the lowly position, there is no longer a chance to protect His Excellency the Division Commander, so please take care of Your Excellency. ”

After speaking, the squadron leader of Shaozuo walked in front of more than 100 devil soldiers of the guard squadron with a resolute face, and said with a serious face.

"Warriors, you are all the best samurai in my Great Japanese Empire. Now, the time has come to be loyal to the Empire and to His Majesty the Emperor. I ordered the three infantry teams to move separately and launch a surprise attack on the positions of the Eighth Route Army from three directions, south, east, and west. Until the last person is killed, otherwise, no one is allowed to take a step back. Squadron of guards, now go ...."

As he spoke, the squadron leader saluted Lieutenant General Yoshimoto behind him, turned around and rushed out of the courtyard.

Ten minutes later, a burst of gunfire rang out in front of the defense line where the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division was located. Under the cover of a dense rain of bullets. One by one, shirtless and with a menstrual belt tied to their heads. With a rifle with a bayonet in his hand, he began to launch one death attack after another against the 37th Regiment on the opposite side.

Although, a squadron of guards, just more than one hundred and eighty xiǎo devils. However, these more than 180 devil soldiers, after all, were selected by the entire division. In terms of its combat effectiveness, almost every soldier, placed in the ordinary army, is a jīng rui who can act as a military cao or even a xiǎo captain.

Therefore, in the face of the powerful attack of the Japanese army, the soldiers who stood in front of the xiǎo devils, although they all tried their best. However, the dense rain of bullets doesn't seem to have much effect on these jīng sharp xiǎo devils.

What's more, the warriors who stood in front of the xiǎo devil fell one after another in a pool of blood under the shè blow of the jinggu jīng zhan marksmanship. The entire attack, in less than two minutes, the output firepower on the position, under the suppression of the xiǎo devil sharpshooters, was immediately weakened by almost a third.

"Dog's day, who are these xiǎo devils, why are they so powerful..."Seeing the continuous casualties of his subordinates, he saw the devil soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the position. Hu Beiwen, the commander of the 37th regiment, clenched his fists and smashed it the broken wall in front of him. Then, he said to Yin Zhongyu, the political commissar beside him.

"Commander, we'll know when the battle is over. Now let's transfer troops immediately, if we don't send reinforcements, the xiǎo devils will break through our defense line..."For the curse of the regiment commander, although, the eyes of the political commissar Yin Zhongyu were also full of anger. However, he was not carried away by anger, but asked anxiously at the head of the regiment beside him.

The political commissar's reminder immediately made Regiment Commander Hu Beiwen react from the shock, and then decisively ordered: "Then what are you waiting for, Chief of Staff, order the three main battalions, each Chōu to transfer the strength of one company, and reinforce the three infantry companies, quickly." When the time comes, whoever loses his position, I will shoot him. ”

In an instant, amid the sound of gunfire, the troops of the three companies quickly withdrew from their original positions and rushed towards the positions not far away, which were in the middle of the battle. And at this moment, there was only one company left in the defense of the two infantry companies in the city and the surrounding ones. As for the entrance of the city, there was only one platoon and two other heavy machine guns left.

Of course, on the battlefield, every move of the various units of the 37th Regiment was seen in the eyes of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto. Seeing the weak defensive strength of the castle, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's face immediately sneered, and said confidently to the three xiǎo captains behind him. "Warriors, more than a hundred warriors of the Imperial Army in the guard squadron, the opportunity given to us in exchange for their lives is in front of us. I hope that you will not disappoint the expectations of more than a hundred warriors of the guard squadron. ”

"Division commander, please give an order..."Several xiǎo captains replied in unison, their words equally full of confidence.

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto nodded in satisfaction and then ordered.

"Now I order, concentrate all the grenadiers of the flag squadron, shell the city mén, and destroy the two tǐng heavy machine guns at the mouth of the city mén. The 1st Xiǎo Squadron of the Flag Guard Squadron was the avant-garde, and immediately after the destruction of the two heavy machine guns, it launched an attack to open a breakthrough. The second xiǎo team, followed by the follow-up, and the third xiǎo team, which is responsible for the broken after. Get started now. ”

"Hello..."

Just when on the battlefield, everyone's eyes were all attracted by the three xiǎo teams of the Japanese guard squadron. The sudden explosion at the entrance of the city was like a thunderclap, waking everyone up.

Looking at the entrance of the city, which was instantly covered by artillery fire, and seeing the explosion of grenades, the two heavy machine gun positions that were destroyed in an instant. The head of the regiment, Hu Beiwen, and the political commissar Yin Zhongyu, stayed there all of a sudden, looking at the entrance of the city not far away that had been covered by gunsmoke, and they didn't even react from the shock.

Finally, when the 1st Xiǎo Brigade of the Japanese Flag Guard Squadron, more than 60 devil soldiers, rushed out of the street and launched a charge towards the entrance of the city, which had been shrouded in gunsmoke. The head of the regiment, Hu Beiwen, finally reacted from the shock. Then, I couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's not good, we went up to the Xiǎo devil's tune tiger and left the mountain. The chief of staff, quickly, ordered the fourth company, the seventh company, to immediately reinforce the entrance of the city and plug the gap. ”

The order of the regiment commander Hu Beiwen, although it was very timely. However, at this moment, the 2nd Xiǎo Team led by Lieutenant General Yoshimoto had already rushed out of the city along the breakthrough opened by the 1st Xiǎo Team. The two infantry companies in charge of reinforcements had just rushed to the entrance of the city when they were sworn to block by the Japanese 3rd Xiǎo team.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese guard squadron was in charge of the 3rd Xiǎo Brigade of the Flag Guard Squadron behind the palace. Under the counterattack of the superior firepower and strength of the 37th Regiment, it was finally completely annihilated. And until this moment, the number of the Japanese army that broke through was also reported to Hu Beiwen's ears at the first time.

The commander of the first battalion, who was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, ran to the political commissar of the regiment commander out of breath and reported loudly: "The regiment commander, the political commissar, has been investigated: the guard squadron directly under the Japanese division and regiment that has just begun to attack our army. As for the one that had just broken through, it was the flag protection squadron directly under the Japanese division. If nothing else, the flag of the Japanese division and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, may be among the troops who have just broken through. ”

"What, the xiǎo devil broke through with the division flag and the lieutenant general's division commander. It's a loss, it's a loss, such a big fish was actually let go by my Hu Beiwen. Quickly, immediately send a telegram to Commander Zhou of the follow-up troops to report the enemy situation. It is hoped that Commander Zhou, who is in the rear, will be able to lead the follow-up troops to eliminate the more than 100 xiǎo devils who broke through and capture the commander of the Japanese division. After a short period of shock, the head of the regiment, Hu Beiwen, immediately ordered while regretting.

At this moment, Commander Zhou Baozhong was taking the strength of the four main regiments to protect a large number of captured baggage vehicles, and quickly rushed to Baishan County. Unbeknownst to them, a big fish was coming towards them.

And when the entire convoy was still more than ten kilometers away from Baishan County. The communications staff officer, holding a telegram, rushed to Zhou Baozhong out of breath, and reported with an anxious face: "Commander Hu of the 37th Regiment is in an emergency. ”

Zhou Baozhong took the telegram, glanced at the ten lines, and began to read it quickly.

In an instant, just as Zhou Baozhong's gaze moved away from the telegram in his hand. A pair of eyes, like seeing a lot of treasure, can't help but light up.

"Haha, Chief of Staff, good news, this Hu Beiwen is fighting on the front line, and he hasn't forgotten me as a commander. Hu Beiwen reported that the commander of the Japanese lieutenant general division, with the divisional flag and more than 100 guards, was facing us to break through. You say, the commander of the Japanese lieutenant general's division, the flag of the division, is this considered a big gift..."Zhou Baozhong said to Chen Sheng, the chief of staff beside him with a puzzled face.

"Commander, is this true? What are you doing in a daze, Commander, hurry up and give an order, don't let such a big fish slip out of the hands of our fifth column..." At this moment, the chief of staff was also shocked by this good news and said excitedly. "Yes, command the 38 regiment, responsible for the protection of all trucks and bombs. The remaining three main regiments, with the highway as the center and an area of five kilometers to the left and right, formed a dragnet search and advanced towards Baishan County. After discovering the enemy, the units immediately fired warning shots and surrounded and annihilated them. ”

"Yes, Commander," replied Chief of Staff Jī movingly.

The final result was unsurprising, under the dragnet search of three regiments and more than 4,000 fighters. The Xiǎo devil, who had just rushed out of Baishan County and was less than five kilometers away, was once again surrounded by the soldiers.

However, at this moment, the situation faced by Lieutenant General Yoshimoto is even worse than that in the city. In Baishan County, there are also a large number of buildings that serve as rock bodies for their own soldiers. However, apart from the endless wilderness and thatched grass up to half a meter deep, there is basically no cover that can be used to build positions.

As a result, more than a hundred devil soldiers, and the soldiers only used one charge, and they all drowned them in the sea of people. More importantly, because the attack of the Eighth Route Army came too suddenly. The soldiers of the Flag Protection Xiǎo Team were drowned in the sea of people before they could burn the military flag.

The division flag of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army has also become the first division and regiment first-class military flag to be completely captured on the Chinese battlefield at this moment.

Outside Mén, north of Baishan County, with a large number of artillery, it joined the siege sequence. The units on the offensive frontline no longer encountered any major problems. Just when everyone, including the commander Liu Hua, was waiting for the victory report. A huge surprise, by telegram, was transmitted to the headquarters for the first time.

"Commander, Commander Zhou is in an emergency. In the process of marching to South Mén, the troops eliminated the Japanese flag squadron that had broken through from the county seat. Among them, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the Japanese division, was killed, and a flag of the Japanese division was captured. ”

Just as Wang Qiang's words fell, the commanders of the command began to applaud. Commander Liu Hua was stunned here, completely shocked and surprised.

Because, although the Japanese troops who died in the hands of Liu Hua have exceeded several divisions, even the division commanders at the rank of lieutenant general have several people. However, the capture of the Japanese army's division-level military flag was the first time it was encountered. At the same time, Liu Hua, who came from later generations, knew very well what a flag of a Japanese division and regiment meant to the Japanese troops.

So, Liu Hua, who reacted, ordered excitedly under everyone's surprised gaze. "Okay, Division Commander Wang, immediately inform the whole army, my fifth column, kill the commander of the Japanese division, and capture the Japanese flag. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the Party Central Committee in Yan'an to report the victory. I ask the Party Central Committee to publicize this matter to the whole world. ”
