10 a.m.

Jingcheng County, Baoshan Division Headquarters.

Liu Yi hurriedly walked into the war room with a telegram and said to Yue Weihan: "Military seat, Pang Hu's squad is in an emergency, the main force of the army's forward brigade has passed the Niangzi Pass!" ”

…………

12 p.m.

At the foot of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Deputy Division Commander Xu hurriedly walked into the war room and said to Division Commander Liu and Deng Gong: "The forward observation post reports that the main force of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army has passed through Niangzi Pass. ”

Master Liu cupped his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully, "It's almost there." ”

Deng Gong suddenly asked, "Senior Commander Liu, how do you say this battle will be fought by Baoshan Division?" ”

Division Commander Liu said: "Although the 20th Division of the Yue Army has nearly 40,000 people, the most difficult thing is the two infantry brigades, so the most reasonable way to play is to cut off the head and tail and block the forward brigade and the rear guard brigade of the Yue Army with two elite troops, and then concentrate the forces to quickly annihilate the supplementary corps, directly subordinate troops and division headquarters of the 20th Division. ”

After saying this, Division Commander Liu said in confusion: "The Baoshan Division will definitely use Jingcheng Pass and Niangzi Pass to block the forward brigade and rear guard brigade of the Yue Army, but the problem is that the main force of the Baoshan Division is 30,000 or 40,000 people, and with such a big target, how can it evade the reconnaissance of the Yue Army, and how can it conceal the enemy?" ”

"yes." Deputy Division Commander Xu also said thoughtfully, "How can the Baoshan Division conceal the enemy?" ”

If it is a small-scale ambush, the troops can find a hidden area on both sides of the road to ambush them.

However, a large-scale ambush war will not work, and the big target of 30,000 or 40,000 people will absolutely not be hidden on both sides of the highway.

In order to avoid early exposure, the troops involved in the ambush can only disperse and lie in ambush in a relatively distant area, and when the enemy is about to enter the ambush area, the scattered and concealed troops will quickly assemble and quickly enter the predetermined attack position, but there is a problem in the middle, how can the troops of the Baoshan Division evade the aerial reconnaissance of the Yue army when they are assembled?

Once the ambush of the Baoshan Division is exposed in advance, the Yue Army can completely shrink its forces before the troops participating in the ambush of the Baoshan Division enter the attack position, and seize the favorable terrain nearby to build a solid defensive position, once the Yue Army is prepared, with the strength and combat effectiveness of the 20th Division, the Baoshan Division will definitely be defeated.

Therefore, it is very important to engage the enemy in a large-scale ambush war!

It is precisely this that confuses Division Commander Liu and Deputy Division Commander Xu.

In fact, it is this that makes Kawagishi Bunzaburo feel fearless!

The Yue army has absolute air superiority, and it is just that the Baoshan Division hides in the forest and does not come out, but if there is wind and grass, the reconnaissance planes of the Yue Army hovering over the Shitai Highway will find it at the first time, and the Yue Army will be able to respond as soon as possible, so Kawagishi Bunzaburo is not worried that the Baoshan Division will ambush the 20th Division at all.

Phoenix Ridge, mountainside observation post.

Tang Dashan had just put down the binoculars and was about to smoke a cigarette when the guard next to him suddenly shouted: "Deputy Tuanzao, the little devil is here!" ”

"Huh?" Tang Dashan turned over sharply and sat up.

Sure enough, a team of devil soldiers had already driven on the road ahead.

There are not many devil soldiers in this team, more than 30 people, the queue is also a little chaotic, and they shoot indiscriminately at the mountains and forests on both sides of the highway while walking, and if they find suspicious targets, they will set up machine guns and sweep wildly, but fortunately, the fortifications where they are hiding in Tang Dashan are very hidden, and the little devils can't find them at all from 500 meters away.

"It's just a devil's spearhead, don't bother with it." After Tang Dashan finished speaking, he sat down again.

As soon as a cigarette was smoked, another group of the army drove over, and the formation of this group of troops was much more neat, and nearly 1,000 troops marched forward in a neat four-way column, and the footsteps of "clicking" could be heard from a few hundred meters away, and there were more than a dozen trucks at the end of the procession, six of which were also dragging six 92 infantry guns.

"Deputy regimental seat, detonate, right?" As he spoke, the guard reached for the detonator.

"What's the panic?" Tang Dashan shook off the guard's hand, and said coldly, "It was a sharp soldier just now, and this infantry brigade is also a pathfinder, the little devil is cunning, if we blow up this infantry brigade as the main force of the devil, then we will be able to fall into their annihilation, tell you, the main force of the little devil's brigade is still behind." ”

"Deputy Tuanzao, you're amazing." The guard said with great admiration, "I can't hide anything from you." ”

"That's it." Tang Dashan said triumphantly, "Lao Tzu has been fighting with the little devil for so long, as long as the little devil pouts his ass, Lao Tzu can know what they want to pee?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a huge roar of airplanes sounded in the sky.

When Tang Dashan and the two guards looked up in a hurry, they saw two devil planes whizzing over their heads.

The altitude of the devil's plane was extremely low, almost flying against the mountain, and after flying far away, it turned around and came back, and then began to circle back and forth over Phoenix Ridge.

After the two devil planes circled for more than ten minutes, there was finally movement on the road again.

"Vice-group, devil! A lot of devils! One of the guards pointed ahead and yelled in a very gaffe.

Tang Dashan hurriedly raised the binoculars to take a closer look, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but gasp!

On the wide and flat road, the black-pressed devil soldiers lined up in a neat eight-way column, and they were heading towards the Phoenix Ridge, and from the mountainside, the devil's infantry queue stretched for nearly two kilometers! Behind the infantry platoon, there is a huge convoy of hundreds of trucks!

"Deputy regimental seat, in another five hundred meters, the little devil will enter the minefield!"

Tang Dashan hurriedly put down the binoculars, turned his head and shouted, "Quick, give me the division headquarters!" ”

A little soldier quickly picked up the microphone and shook the handle of the telephone suddenly, and the phone was quickly connected.

"Division! Division! Tang Dashan took the microphone and shouted, "I'm Tang Dashan, I'm Tang Dashan!" ”

…………

Jingcheng County, Baoshan Division.

Yue Weihan took the microphone from Liu Yi's hand and said loudly: "Tang Dashan, I'm Yue Weihan!" ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "Tang Dashan, you have heard clearly to Lao Tzu, the target of the blasting is the devil infantry, don't care about their baggage convoy, don't care about their baggage convoy!" ”

"Yes, the demolition target is the devil infantry, regardless of the convoy!" Tang Dashan on the other end of the phone repeated loudly.

"Good! As soon as the devil infantry enters the minefield, it will be detonated immediately! Yue Weihan hung up the phone after saying that, and then turned back to Liu Yi and said, "Chief of Staff, order all brigades and regiments to quickly enter the attack position!" Then telegraphed to the Special Operations Brigade and the 1st Battalion to immediately seize Niangzi Pass and cut off the connection between the headquarters of the 20th Division and the Guards Brigade! ”

"Yes." Liu Yi stood upright, and then turned around and walked into the communication room next door.

In less than a moment, the communication room was filled with the sound of telephone soldiers.

"Hey, hey, 1 Brigade, 1 Brigade please answer when you hear it!"

"I am the division headquarters, I am the division headquarters, please answer when the 2 brigade hears it!"

"3 Brigade, 3 Brigade, the division headquarters orders your department to assemble immediately, assemble immediately!"

"Artillery regiment, artillery regiment, immediately enter the predetermined position and quickly build an artillery position!"

"Cavalry regiment, cavalry regiment, within ten minutes must be in attack positions! Must enter the attack position! ”

…………

Ten miles east of Niangzi Pass.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo's armored command vehicle was slowly moving along the road.

In front of the armored command vehicle was a black-pressed infantry queue with no end in sight, but behind it was a huge convoy of more than 20 Type 95 light tanks, hundreds of trucks, and hundreds of mules and horses.

The supplementary corps of the 20th Division and all the directly subordinate wings have all passed through Niangzi Pass.

Despite the fact that the aerial scouts reported that there were no squadrons in the area near Nyoko Pass, Kawagishi Bunzaburo left an infantry squadron at Nyoshi Pass to meet the 40th Infantry Brigade.

Hisazo Kizumura slapped a sunspot on the chessboard and said to Kawagishi Fumizaburo, "General, everything seems to be going well. ”

"Hmm." Kawagishi Bunzaburo nodded, slapped a white piece on the chessboard, and said, "However, we still can't be careless, the closer we get to Jingcheng County, the more we should be vigilant!" After saying this, he added, "Order, the 40th Infantry Brigade to speed up the march and catch up with the main force of the division as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the armored command vehicle suddenly stopped.

At the opening of the iron gate, a young staff officer suddenly closed his feet outside the car door, and said with a solemn expression: "General, the aviation scout reports that the Zhina political axe army suddenly appeared near Niangzi Pass, with at least one battalion in strength!" In addition, there are a large number of Zhina troops on both sides of the Shitai Highway 'Niangziguan to Jingcheng County Section', which is about five kilometers away and has ten regiments! ”

"Snap Lala......" A few sunspots in Kizumura Hizo's hand have already fallen on the chessboard.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo frowned, and ordered in an orderly manner: "Order, the cavalry wing immediately returns to Niangzi Pass, the rest of the divisions immediately stop advancing, the supplementary corps quickly grabs all the commanding heights on both sides of the road, and the field artillery wing immediately finds a suitable location to build an artillery position, and then orders the 39th Infantry Brigade to immediately return to help and assist the division headquarters to defeat the Chinese army!" ”

"Hello." Staff Officer Shao Zuo bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order.

Kimura Kuzo came back to his senses and said to Kawagishi Bunzaburo: "I didn't expect the Shina army to dare to ambush us. ”

"If you have an idea but don't have the strength to match it, it's called self-defeat." Kawagishi Bunzaburo said coldly, "The combat effectiveness of the Baoshan Division may be very strong, but it is absolutely impossible to annihilate the headquarters of our division before dark, however, in less than two hours at most, the Takagi Brigade and the Yamashita Brigade will be able to quickly rush to reinforce it, and then the Shina Army will be finished." ”

Kimura Hizo said worriedly: "General, I'm afraid that the Zhina army has another backhand." ”

"Backhand?" Kawagishi Bunzaburo pursed his lips and said with extreme disdain, "It's useless to have any backhand, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will be useless!" ”
