The commander of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Artillery, Isamu Sato, was shouting at him bareheaded, and the artillerymen who did not know that a catastrophe was about to come mustered up their last energy, and then threw more shells at the Kuomintang troops in Chaoyang County. Several artillery pieces were damaged in the Kuomintang artillery counterattack just now, and several bloody corpses were lying there strewn around, and no one had to clean them up. There was only one thought in the hearts of all the people, that is, to fire the cannons as quickly as possible, even if all the thirty-six cannons after the war were scrapped because of the high frequency of fire. This is no longer the time to worry about this, the infantry on the front line have already gambled their lives to fight to the death, if they lose, the whole war may be lost!

Isamu Sato's bald head was still steaming, and he vaguely knew that today's night attack was a key battle in the Manchurian Incident! If defeated, the empire's continental dream can continue, in case ..............., uh, there is no case! With more than 70,000 officers and men of the Imperial Army in three divisions and such powerful firepower, it is absolutely impossible to lose. The artillery observers on the front line sent back the news that the infantry had broken through to Chaoyang County and were now fighting with the Chinese army, and the collapse of the Chinese army was just around the corner!

It's just that it was like this three hours ago, and it was still like this just now, he vaguely knew that he was a little not optimistic, so he was a little irritable and excited, no matter what, his more than thirty heavy artillery was going to kill more soldiers of Zhina!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack ......"

A soldier of an infantry squadron on the perimeter guard suddenly let out an exclamation. This alert squadron was sent by the 19th Division, and most of them were Koreans, and their military quality and discipline were not comparable to those of genuine Japanese soldiers. I don't know what these North Korean pigs saw? Some of the artillerymen who heard the exclamation thought numbly, but they soon realized that something was wrong, and in the deafening sound of the cannon, there was a loud noise similar to the roar of a motor! Then dozens or the last tanks appeared in front of these unarmed Japanese artillerymen as if they had fallen from the sky. The tanks rumbled over and spewed fire in all directions. Reaping the lives of stunned Japanese artillerymen, it's like a bunch of iron death!

Even Isamu Sato was stunned by the scene in front of him, where did they come from? Has the infantry cluster at the front completely collapsed? What should I do to resist these iron lumps that move and kill? Bite with your teeth, or hit with your bald head? The entire artillery position was suddenly in disarray. North Korean coolies carrying shells scurried around, artillerymen frantically searched for small arms, and some gunners tried to turn 150mm heavy howitzers around and open fire on tanks!

But how could these well-trained Kuomintang armored soldiers give them the opportunity to practice artillery fighting tanks? The tanks scattered in all directions for complete free attack, and the infantry who came along with the tanks also attacked or slaughtered Japanese artillery and Korean coolies with grenades, submachine guns, machine guns, and bags! Well, they're the Kuomintang! I don't talk much about policy.

A large number of Japanese artillery and Korean coolies fell on the artillery position, but these tanks tried not to damage the precious Taisho four-year 150mm heavy howitzers, although the Japanese artillery killed many Chinese officers and soldiers tonight, but these cannons are innocent, and the tank crews are also half artillery, and they can also use these cannons to bombard the Japanese later. As for the leader of the group of sinful Japanese artillery, Isamu Sato didn't know which tank he had crushed into meat sauce, Ling Hun should have gone to Kudanzaka! This is also the best home for this Japanese officer?

"It can't be!" Ling Kalong shouted with a pale face, the telegram in his hand had been crumpled into a ball, and the three divisions fought one Kuomintang division and two Jin army divisions. And it was a surprise attack, and it didn't even win! Seven or eight thousand people were lost in just one night, and the heavy artillery brigades of three divisions and regiments also gave the Kuomintang tanks a pot! Is the war really going to be lost? Takashi Hishikari didn't believe it anyway, it's so surprising! It's incredible!

There was silence in the headquarters, no one dared to speak, and no one dared to look at Ryokari Takashi who was about to go berserk.

"Ishihara! What's going on? Ryokara's blood-red eyes rolled, and finally fixed on Ishihara Wan'er, the instigator of the Manchurian Incident.

Ishihara looked up at Ryokaraka, who was thundering, and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Three divisions can't beat one Kuomintang division (two Shanxi divisions were ignored), this Manchurian incident seems to be unstoppable, as one of the culprits, I don't know whether to apologize in the end? Ryokaraka's gaze turned to Itagaki Seishiro, who was strongly advocating the attack on the first division of the Kuomintang with three divisions, and seeing that he was going to do it again, Miyake Koji hurriedly stepped forward and spoke first: "Your Excellency." He believed that it was time to decisively abandon the plan to strike at the 1st Division of the Kuomintang, withdraw the troops to Beipiao, and then establish a defensive line along Beipiao, Yixian, and Jinzhou. And then...... Then ask for reinforcements from home

There was silence in the room, and now Japan had committed more than 400,000 troops in Manchuria! Fifteen of the seventeen permanent divisions have already been put into battle. Troops must be sent again...... I'm afraid that there will be no soldiers to send for a while? Ling Long was stunned for a moment, and asked calmly: "Can sending troops again guarantee the victory of the Manchurian Incident?" ”

Faced with Ryokari Takashi's question, Miyake Mitsuji nodded heavily: "Your Excellency, the Kuomintang in China does not have many troops in Manchuria, and their land communication line is blocked by the China GCD, and the only reliable line of communication is through the Bohai Bay by sea. As long as the Imperial Navy is determined enough, it will definitely be able to cut off their lines of communication, and then the Empire may win this war. ”

This plan is almost a copy of the plan proposed by Ishihara a few days ago. The premise is that the Kuomintang occupies the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, and the GCD is severely damaged and then expelled from western Liaoning, so that the territory of the Kuomintang in Dongbi is between the Japanese-occupied area and the GCD. And the key to this plan is to what extent should the GCD army be weakened?

Ryokari Takashi figured out a little bit after a little thought, Matsui Ishone's battle report did not mention the GCD Army and the Northeast Army from beginning to end, it was obvious that this part of the troops was no longer in Chaoyang, they should have made a detour to the north to relieve the siege of the besieged GCD Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army...... What should they be hit?

Ryokari paced a few steps inside the room with his hands behind his back, and finally walked in front of Ishihara Wan'er: "Ishihara-kun, what should the North Ticket look like?" ”

Ishihara Wan'er was slightly stunned, and he hesitated: "The lowly suggestion is to let go of the encirclement in the north of Beipiao, and let the GCD army flee to the northwest, but the imperial army should chase them all the way to Chifeng, no, they should be expelled to a place further west to keep them away from Manchuria, and then secretly support a neutral force to rule Rehe, so as to block the eastward advance of GCD." In this way, the contradictions between them and the Kuomintang will become more and more intense. ”

The snow was still falling, and it was heavier and more rapid than it had been last night. The white-haired wind blew on the face like a knife cutting.

Zhu D stood at the head of Beipiao City, looking around, it was all white. Armed only with rifles and bullets and carry-on equipment, the GCD officers and men of the brigade staggered along the ice-covered official road to the north. All the insertions were discarded in the front-line positions, and the artillery deployed in the rear of the battle line was also destroyed on the spot and abandoned! Mortars, heavy machine guns, and other relatively light "heavy weapons" were carried on horses and shoulders to retreat with the troops. From cadres to fighters. They all shivered in the wind and snow, but they didn't stop at all. The blue-gray procession, stretching from the county town to the end of the horizon, seemed to have no end.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

Several plumes of smoke suddenly rose in the middle of the long march, shrapnel whistling and flying in all directions, and with each explosion, a mass of flesh and blood was raised. However, the officers and men of the GCD who were marching slowly did not seem to be afraid of death at all, and they did not seem to see the fire and loud noise of the explosion, and still braved the artillery fire step by step on the snowy field! Fortunately, the Japanese artillery fire was not too fierce, and the accuracy was not high, but the bombardment was endless, as if the Japanese artillery shells could not be used up at all.

In addition to this kind of artillery bombardment, which was not very effective, the Japanese troops of the three divisions around Beipiao City actually did not take any action. The surrounding battlefield continued to sound gunfire for eleven days, and at this time it gradually thinned out.

A brigade that had been blocking the north of Beipiao City also withdrew this morning, making way for the retreating Chinese army! Fortunately, these Japanese soldiers came to such a move inexplicably, otherwise the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army, which had fought hard for many days and suffered great losses, would not have been able to fight at all!

"Let's go." Zhu D took one last look at Beipiao City, and then got into the car, Peng Dhuai, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, sat in the same car with him, General Peng also had a gloomy face, and said no, the atmosphere in the car was gloomy and depressing.

"Commander-in-chief, there are heavy casualties!" Peng Dhuai couldn't help but open it first. "After this battle, our Eighth Route Army has lost more than six percent. And it's all old foundations, this time it hurt the vitality! This gang of *** Kuomintang, it was good for seven days, but it turned out to be a full eleven days! It's been 11 days! ”

Zhu D glanced at the fireballs rising outside the car window, and shook his head: "This time it wasn't the Kuomintang who called, they didn't move their nest in Chaoyang, this is the devil's intention to let us go." ”

Peng D Huai was stunned when he heard this, thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement with Zhu D's opinion: "But what is the purpose of the Japanese?" Could it be that they set up an ambush on the way to annihilate us and the Third and Fourth Route Armies? ”

"Possibly." Zhu D shook his head again: "Maybe not, the Japanese may have other conspiracies, maybe they want us to fight a civil war with the Kuomintang?" Who knows? ”

"Fight the Kuomintang?" Peng Dhuai muttered: "The Japanese are powerful? Or is the Kuomintang powerful? ”

Soon after Zhu D left, more than 6,000 people of Wang Erzhuo's 22nd Division, who was in charge of the palace, also withdrew from Beipiao and withdrew to the north, and the Japanese army immediately strategized Beipiao County.

After the occupation of Beipiao, the Japanese army transferred the 3rd Division, the 5th Division, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade to form a pursuit corps, and the commander of the 3rd Division, General Kawashima Yoshina, launched a unified pursuit to the north. In the Daheishi Mountains, about 267 kilometers northwest of Beipiao City, the Japanese pursuit corps was attacked by Li Jishen,

The stubborn resistance of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Route Armies under the personal command of Feng Yuxiang. Another bloody battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies has begun!

The shells overturned the frozen land again and again, leaving huge craters on the snowfield, the thick smoke of gunpowder filled the entire battlefield, the shelter shook violently in the sound of explosions, the military coat on Feng Yuxiang's shoulders did not move, and in the telescope, the hastily dug trenches on the forward positions had almost been leveled. Feng Yuxiang and Li Jishen's detachment of the encirclement was lightly armed and rushed to march without carrying heavy artillery, so that it was completely inferior in artillery fire, and the only three mountain artillery regiments were forced to open fire with their hearts and minds, and they had to quickly shift their positions after firing a few shots.

"Boom" Another 150mm shell exploded nearby, Feng Yuxiang chuckled in his heart, could it be that the Japanese invaders appeared at their command post? "Command transferred!" Feng Yuxiang shouted, and hurriedly rushed out, his huge body ran so fast that even the young staff officers in the headquarters couldn't catch up. No sooner had the group run out of the shelter than a rush of artillery fire hit the earth-made shelter and razed it to the ground.

By the time Feng Yuxiang arrived at the reserve command post, the Japanese infantry attack had already begun, and several earthy yellow figures were scattered across the entire hillside, looking very sparse. Halfway through the climb, the artillery fire of the Third Route Army began to fire, 80-mm mortars, and the mountain guns of the army-affiliated artillery regiment opened fire together, and the rows of smoke columns instantly covered the charging Japanese troops. However, it didn't take long for the Japanese artillery to start shelling frantically again, and this time the target was the artillery positions and firing points of the G Army that had just opened fire! Shells from both sides came and went in the sky, and the artillery positions in front of the two armies and behind the G Army were chaotic with smoke and dust, and shrapnel rained down! After an artillery battle, calm returned to the battlefield, and the charging Japanese soldiers were either killed or retreated in a hurry.

"Report! The positions of our 3rd Artillery Regiment were covered by Japanese heavy artillery! Seven 75-mm mountain guns were destroyed, and more than one person was killed or wounded. A staff officer put down the phone in his hand, his voice trembling a little.

"Damn! How? Didn't you tell them to play for three minutes and then transfer? Why don't they listen! Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but scold: "Damn, what kind of battle is this?" Put Lao Tzu's troops in front of the consumption, he Li Renchao is a communiqué si revenge! I want to respond to the organization."

Feng Yuxiang's scolding was like turning on the door of a faucet, and the officers in the command headquarters began to complain, accusing Li Jishen of deliberately depleting the strength of the Third Route Army. Some people simply made it clear that this Li Jishen deliberately made such an arrangement in order to avenge the annihilation of the 19th Route Army in the Battle of Xugou......,.........

"Enough!" Feng Yuxiang heard that his subordinates were becoming more and more different from the revolutionary army, and the face of Nie ~ Zhen, the political commissar on the side, became more and more pale, and he hurriedly spoke: "We are revolutionary soldiers, and we must unconditionally obey the arrangements and orders of the organization!" The organizational order is for us to hold the Great Black Mountain and buy time for the safe transfer of friendly forces. Now we have to think about how to defend the Great Black Mountain and not let the Japanese invaders cross a step! Do you understand! "Understood!" All the officers didn't dare to do anything more, and Nie Rzhen looked at Feng Yuxiang, and there was nothing ...... This person is famous for his good temper in the middle f, so the group of old officers in the Third Route Army who have not been reformed dare to say so many strange things, if Zhang Guotao is still there, they will not dare.

Feng Yuxiang gave him a look, and the two walked out of the command headquarters, lit a cigarette in a leeward place, and just smoked silently.

"Comrade Huanzhang, only our Third Route Army is intact of the three Route Armies of the Liberation Corps."

Nie ~ Zhen smoked for a while, and finally spoke: "So it is reasonable for Commander-in-Chief Li to let the Third Route Army in front." And Commander-in-Chief Li is a democrat, not a GCD, and he is different from us, understand? ”

Feng Yuxiang was slightly stunned, looked at Nie Rzhen's serious expression, and nodded his head unconsciously. Although he joined the GCD a long time ago, he has never put himself in a ...............correct position, and the comrades who came into contact with him on the Chinese side also treated him as a person of the people, and did not really regard him as a party member.

Nie Rzhen smiled and said: "This time in the battle of Liaoxi, our team suffered heavy losses, in this case, we GCD people should be brave to shoulder the heavy burden, so this time the organization handed over the task of the Great Black Mountain Blocking Battle to our Third Route Army is our trust in Comrade Feng Yuxiang." ”

"Okay, my Lao Feng will definitely not live up to the trust of the organization, with my Lao Feng here, this big black mountain is impregnable!" Feng Yuxiang patted his chest and made a package ticket. However, at this moment, he didn't realize how tragic the Great Black Mountain Blocking Battle would be!

After returning to the Bang Wave Division, Feng Yuxiang received a telegram from Mao Zdzhen, asking him to hold on to Dashan for at least five days to cover the transfer of the main force in the direction of Ao Han Banner.

Holding on for five days, it doesn't sound too difficult, Feng Yuxiang didn't care, the Third Route Army had no losses in the early battle, and it was the old army he brought out, and the combat effectiveness was still good.

However, in the next five days, more than ten miles of fighting around Daheishan continued, blood flowed like rivers, gunfire and artillery continued all night, soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, reports of casualties among senior generals appeared frequently, and the Third Route Army lost two brigade commanders, four regiment commanders, and countless casualties below the battalion and company commanders. After five days of bloody battles, the total strength of Feng Yuxiang's Third Route Army was less than 20,000!!
