At this time, another communication soldier ran in and handed Tada Jun a telegram, and Tada Jun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, "They counterattacked?" The Eighth Route Army of the Xiaoyi Fenyang generation is counterattacking, and the Shanxi New Army and the 129th Division are also attacking, do they want us to swallow them all? ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi immediately said, "This is attacking from the south and defending from the north, and they know that we are going to break through from the north, so they deliberately attack from the south." ”

Tada Jun slapped the table and scolded, "Trap, this is a trap completely, damn it, there must be a mole among us!" ”

Takeda Takeshi smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Your Excellency Commander, now is not the time to talk about the traitor, we must make arrangements immediately, and now that the enemy has jumped out, I think it is safe." ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi also agreed and said, "Takeda-kun is right, I think it's still the original plan, but change it, we will put two wings in the east, west and south, and all the other troops will be concentrated in the north to make a passage out!" Moreover, most of our aviation forces have been wiped out, so we must do a good job of air defense and send electricity to General Terauchi to send troops to our aid. He will not sit idly by and watch our three divisions be defeated, and he cannot afford to take this responsibility. In addition, we are sending troops from Hebei, Suiyuan, Chahar and other places into Shanxi to change our overall strategic situation. ”

Tada Jun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a call, now is not the time to save face, it is more important than anything else to keep the warriors of our three divisions." ”

-- Beiping

"How is this battle, is this Tada Jun an idiot? Who sent him to Shanxi in the first place? "Shouichi Terauchi almost smoked when he looked at the battle report, the whole three divisions, and seventy percent of the planes in North China, actually fought like this.

"Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to pursue the matter, we must immediately send troops to rescue the Third Army. Otherwise, none of us can afford the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor. A staff officer said with his head bowed.

Terauchi Shouichi walked around boredly and said, "Of course I know, but to gather the strength that can save the Third Army, it will take at least two divisions, and we are still full of guerrillas in North China, looking at the situation in Shanxi, one or two wings will not change much in the past." At least one division or regiment is required. Our forces were so scattered that it would take at least a week to concentrate them, and according to the telegram, several of our roads into Shanxi were captured by the Eighth Route Army. I'm afraid it will take more than two weeks to break into Shanxi, I hope Tada Jun can hold on, damn Tada Jun, these levels have been beaten down for a week. Did he notice something wrong at all? ”

A staff officer whispered: "Didn't you also say that when he reported it, it should be a guerrilla attack?" ”

"Huh?"

"Subordinates are talking nonsense." When the staff officer saw Terauchi Shouichi coming over, he hurriedly pumped a few big mouths into his mouth.

Terauchi Shouichi snorted, and then said, "Order all the aviation troops to concentrate in Baoding." Tada Jun said that there was a Soviet air force, which is very likely, and a large number of Soviet air forces appeared on Chiang's side, Baga!! These bastards, sooner or later they have to teach them a lesson! ”

At the beginning, Terauchi Shou concentrated his troops to rescue Tada Jun, but the distant water could not save the near fire, and at this time, a major counteroffensive was being staged in the city of Xiaoyi.

In the city of Xiaoyi, the tug-of-war with the Eighth Route Army was a wing of the 20th Division. Due to the accuracy of the marksmanship, the Japanese army had flexible grenadiers. As a result, their defensive capability was stronger than their offensive capability, and the Eighth Route Army, which was dominated by local troops and garrison corps, was very difficult to attack, and could only capture the Japanese positions after repeated artillery bombardment.

The only fortunate thing was that the Japanese artillery was extremely inadequate because it had to support four battlefields, and the only ones that supported these Japanese were mortars and infantry guns, and all the mountain guns were moved to the north to open the exit.

And on the side of the Eighth Route Army was the entire firepower of the artillery corps of the Eighth Route Army. Twelve 122 howitzers and eighteen 107 rocket guns were divided into two teams to support the two battlefields of Xiaoyi and Fenyang, and any stronghold of the Japanese army would be destroyed by the ruthless heavy artillery.

The Eighth Route Army, which had been suppressed and fought for more than half a month, vented all its grievances on these Japanese soldiers who were stuck in half of the city, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Battalion commander, the regimental headquarters ordered us to take Dongguan within an hour, and in ten minutes there will be a round of artillery bombardment to support us. Let's take the opportunity to take Dongguan! If you say that you can't beat it anymore, I'll let you be the squad leader. The communications soldier said wiping his sweat.

Li Fuze is a native of Shandong, a graduate of Daxia University in Shanghai, as a rare intellectual, he has been focused on training since he joined the army, at this time he was already a battalion commander, with three or four hundred soldiers under his command.

Li Fuze wiped his sweat and looked at the Dongguan in front of him, which had been ruined after repeated tug-of-war, and the Japanese army relied on this dilapidated Dongguan and used machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars to repel his three attacks.

Li Fuze nodded and said, "Call a company commander, damn, the regiment commander has called artillery support, and if you can't fight it again, you will really be laughed at by those old Red Army." ”

A thin man walked in and said, "Report, a company commander is rich in money." ”

Li Fuze said, "The regiment commander called for artillery support, and when the artillery is covered, you immediately lead people to rush up, don't be afraid of sacrifice, forget it, I'll lead the team." If you concentrate the machine guns of the second and third companies, I don't believe that you can't make a single opening. ”

Qian Dafu hurriedly said, "Battalion commander, don't go, I'll go, can't you trust me?" ”

Li Fuze glared and scolded, "I've been beaten down three times, if we can't beat it down again this time, my battalion commander will be removed as a squad leader, and I will pull you to be the deputy squad leader!" After speaking, he took a 38 rifle next to him and inserted a bayonet, put on a steel helmet and walked out, remembering that Qian Dafu hurriedly followed.

Hundreds of soldiers hid in the temporary fortifications, looking coldly at Dongguan, three or four meters away, Li Fuze looked at the pocket watch nervously, he suddenly put the pocket watch in his arms and said, "It's time." ”

Sure enough, within a dozen seconds, the soldiers saw hundreds of shells with flaming tails smashing into Dongguan, and the violent explosion and shock wave made people feel that this Dongguan would be blown to pieces.

Li Fuze stood up directly and shouted, "Just a round of artillery fire, don't wait, everyone follow me!" Kill all little Japan!! Avenge the folks! ”

Seeing Li Fuze rushing out, the other fighters hurriedly followed, and the shock wave of the explosion blew so that the soldiers' eyes couldn't open a little, and when the explosion disappeared. The fighters were already no more than 100 meters away from Dongguan.

The Japanese soldier who had not yet been killed shook his head, shook off the stones and dust on his body, and was just looking up to see the situation, when a big foot kicked him to the side, and Li Fuze stabbed the Japanese soldier in the chest with a bayonet and stepped on it. The bayonet twisted and pulled, and a fountain of blood bubbled up.

"Kill!" The soldiers rushed forward in a swren, and the remaining Japanese troops fought hand-to-hand, and the Red Pill Flag, which had only been flying for two days at Dongguan, was replaced with a blue sky and white sun flag.

Wenshui and Pingyao are a plain, but also one of the main agricultural production areas in Shanxi, the heavy snow has not melted two days ago, the fields and roads are still white, Lin Sanhu rode a war horse to a hillside, and looked at it with a telescope. From time to time, explosions and gunfire could be heard in the distance. It was the 115th Division fighting the 108th Division of the Japanese Army.

The two troops spread out in this plain, vowing to open the exit and break through the encirclement, while gritting their teeth and attacking, determined to destroy this force within the specified time, Lin Sanhu once again exerted his principle of artillery supremacy, picking out two regiments as arrows to attack, and the other troops defended all heavy artillery to support the attacking troops. With the exception of the 107 rocket launchers, which did not move to deal with the Japanese mountain artillery, all other weapons were already in battle.

Report. Our independent regiment has broken the first line of defense of the Japanese army and is in pursuit. The signal soldier stood up and said.

Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Order the follow-up troops to go up, don't be surrounded by the left and right flanks of the Japanese army, the artillery extends to both sides, and the independent regiment pursues 500 meters and then retreats to consolidate the position just occupied, and the follow-up troops take over the attack." ”

After speaking. Lin Sanhu took out two soybeans from his pocket, put them in his mouth and chewed them, then turned back to his horse and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front, I really can't see it clearly." ”

On the plain, the Japanese army continued to charge the positions of the 115th Division. The barrel of the machine gun was red, and I didn't see the Japanese army stop a little, and the artillery fire continued to explode on the positions of the two armies, Lin Sanhu looked at it and shook his head and asked, "Hasn't the Japanese mountain artillery been fired yet?" ”

The staff officer next to him shook his head and said, "Not yet, they seem to be waiting for something." ”

Lin Sanhu smiled contemptuously and said, "What else will it be, it's just that they want us to fire first, they are afraid of being bombed without air superiority, okay, just give him a chance, order our field artillery to open fire, and after the Japanese artillery fires, the rocket artillery unit will immediately counteract."

"Report, Mr. Zhu called, and sent the First Bomber Group to help our army, and they arrived at the battlefield in fifteen minutes." A communications soldier said with a smile.

"Wow, order the artillery to fire in five minutes! Contact the Air Force and completely knock out the Japanese artillery for me! Lin Sanhu said with a smile.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The field artillery team of the 115th Division began to fire at the Japanese offensive positions, and the 115th Division did not have many field guns, but only seven or eight of them, all of which were captured.

The commander of the 108th Division, Xia Yuan Xiongmi, looked at the few artillery pieces and immediately said, "Order the artillery to counteract, the first artillery team will move, and the second artillery team will continue to hide." The people of China are very cunning, so don't fall for them. ”

Lin Sanhu watched his artillery position being attacked, the corners of his mouth smiled, and only three or four minutes later, he saw a rocket flying into the sky, and the 107 rocket once again played an important role.

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi was surprised to see that his artillery was blown to pieces by an extremely dense artillery bombardment, and the barrels and wheels of the mountain artillery were blown up into the sky, and a field artillery brigade was reimbursed in this way.

"Fight back! Counterattack! The other field artillery immediately counterattacked!! Xia Yuan Xiong Mi shouted anxiously, he couldn't believe how many cannons could be made by such an artillery bombardment, eighty guns? Or a hundred?

"Planes, our planes!!" Under the shouts of the communication soldiers next to him, Lin Sanhu saw more than ten planes flying over the battlefield, this is the Il-2M aircraft, this aircraft is equipped with two 23 mm cannons and two machine guns, and is also equipped with eight 82 mm rockets.

"Yaga, shoot, shoot, knock down the plane of the Shina people!!" Shimoto Kuma came only to feel bitter in his mouth, when did the Imperial Japanese Army also use poor machine guns to fight planes, watching a group of Japanese soldiers holding 38 rifles to shoot at the planes in the sky, Shimoto Kumami almost wanted to bury his head in the soil, it was really embarrassing.

A soldier of the Japanese army held a crooked handle, and another soldier operated a gun at the Il-2M in the sky, but saw the plane deftly turn in a circle, and fired a round of 82 rockets at the machine gun group, the rocket hit a place about ten meters away from the machine gun group, but the shrapnel of the explosion still killed the Japanese army, more fighters threw bombs at the row of soldiers with rows of guns, and saw the ********Japanese army being tossed by the plane, Lin Sanhu immediately ordered the troops to attack again, with the support of artillery fire and aircraft, Once again, the Japanese were pushed back by 500 meters. Looking at the cheering Eighth Route Army and the waving blue sky and white sun flag, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi suddenly had a sense of helplessness.

"Your Excellency the division commander, there has been a breakthrough in the direction of Dujiazhuang, and we have conquered the forward positions there." A communications soldier said with a flushed face with excitement.

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, order to continue the attack, I will hold off the main force of the 115th Division here, and prevent them from supporting Dujiazhuang." ”

Three days later

-- Luliangshan Headquarters

Jiang Cheng looked at a snowflake spot that suddenly appeared on the radar, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's almost time to come." ”

Mr. Zhu learned that another batch of planes were flying towards Shanxi, touched his chin and said, "This should be the last Japanese fighter that can be called in North China, order our planes to be dispatched, and order all troops to step up the attack, Terauchi Shouichi seems to be about to act." ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "We have bombed the Japanese army badly in the past three days, and it is said that now the Japanese army is almost out of mountain artillery, and all of them have been blown up by us." ”

Zuo Quan said, "However, the Japanese army's attack is also very resolute, although the losses are very large, but it is still constantly breaking through from the middle of the 115th Division and the 120th Division, Lin Sanhu and He Long are attacking the southern front of the troops on the one hand, while retreating, and gradually become a U-shape with the Japanese army, the Japanese army has conquered Dujiazhuang, and there is only one Xiaqu Town left." If this continues, in about three days, the Japanese army will have successfully broken through. ”

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "In three days, it is still very difficult to completely eat these devils, and I ordered the 115th Division and the 120th Division to hold on and wait for the successful penetration of the southern front." After speaking, Mr. Zhu looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Xiao Jiang, that army has already been prepared, right?" ”

Jiang Cheng pointed to the map and said, "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, it's all here, and it took me a lot of effort to transport these things." ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "It's almost over, order them to dispatch, this is our last killer weapon, with our bombers, let's also try the blitzkrieg you said!" ”
