Chapter 635 Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed (please subscribe!) ）

Looking at the corpses of the warriors, they were quickly carried from front of them to the rear for burial. Seeing the seriously wounded with blurred blood, they were quickly carried to the field hospital in the rear amid the screams. A kilometer away, under the repeated wheeled attacks of the Japanese army, the second trench was already in danger.

Division Commander Li Yuanqing's heart can be said to be extremely nervous. A pair of eyes, constantly looking at his big rear, hoping that the reinforcements he was looking forward to could arrive sooner.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and under his expectations, a blood-red military flag fluttering in the wind finally appeared in Li Yuanqing's telescope. Immediately, the troops formed in two formations drove towards the battlefield.

"It's here, it's finally here, our reinforcements have arrived. Lao Wang, I'll give it to you here, I'll go meet our reinforcements..."As he spoke, Li Yuanqing, who had a moving face, rushed out of the headquarters with a few guards and rushed towards the location of the reinforcements...

Reinforcements stopped in front of him, however, to Li Yuanqing's surprise. appeared in front of him, in addition to Sun Cheng, the head of the guard regiment that he was very familiar with, there was also Liu Hua, the supreme commander of the field army with a smile on his face. Under the reminder of the guards around him, after a short period of shock, Li Yuanqing suddenly reacted and asked with a surprised expression.

"Ah, chief, why are you here, without a word..."

"Division Commander Li, the main forces are here, of course I have to follow. Let's make a long story short, listening to the sound of gunfire, the battle ahead should be very fierce. Tell me about the specifics. ”

"Yes, Commander... Commander, the situation is like this, since this morning, the xiǎo devils have been attacking us continuously as if they had gone crazy, taking the squadron as a unit. So far, this attack has not stopped. Now holding the position is still the 37th Regiment, which has just been replenished. However, because there were too many recruits, in less than half a day, the 37th regiment once again paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties. At present, the entire position has fallen into a precarious position. Li Yuanqing replied with a frown.

"Well, it seems that the xiǎo devil is wanting and desperate. Don't wait for me, Commander Sun, take your guard regiment and replace the 37th regiment in front for me, remember, fight for every inch of land with xiǎo devils. Without my orders, it is forbidden to take a step back. In addition, the plane of the xiǎo devil is really too annoying, I seem to remember, your guard regiment has an air defense company, find a way, knock the plane of the xiǎo devil down for me. Liu Hua nodded, turned around, and ordered decisively to Sun Cheng, the head of the guard beside him.

"Yes, Chief, promise to complete the mission..."

The guard regiment equipped with Jīng Liang had just taken over the entire position, and immediately used almost terrifying firepower to shatter the more than 100 devil soldiers who had launched another attack. Eventually, after leaving the corpses all over the place, he retreated in embarrassment.

In the face of the sudden and fierce fire of the Eighth Route Army, the former enemy commander of the Japanese army, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Wing, knew that reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army had arrived. And the wheel tactics that he had spent half a day unleashing, at this moment, there was no need to continue.

Therefore, in order to avoid a large number of unnecessary casualties among the troops, he decisively ordered the troops to stop the offensive and request air support.

In the face of the continuous bombardment of three aircraft at high altitude. In Sun Cheng's hands, there was a company of high shè machine guns and nine tǐng high shè machine guns. However, because of shè cheng, it basically has no effect. I could only watch the xiǎo devil plane, throwing bombs into his position.

"Regiment Commander, the flight altitude of the Xiǎo Devil Plane is too high, just outside the range of our high machine guns." Watch as the fierce explosions were thrown into the sky and turned into a pile of debris. The commander of an air defense company with an air defense position already arranged. It can be said that it is in the eyes and anxious in the heart. Facing Sun Cheng, the head of the regiment who came to inquire about the situation, he asked anxiously.

"It seems that we must use yòu bait to attract the plane of the xiǎo devil." Sun Cheng muttered to himself.

I looked at the blocking position around me that had turned into a sea of fire, and looked at the three xiǎo devil planes in the sky that could almost be called unscrupulous. The regiment commander Sun Cheng decisively ordered: "Order the artillery company, immediately build an artillery position, and shell the Japanese starting position, immediately." Commander Zhou, I let the mortar company, as a bait to attract the plane of the xiǎo devil. Therefore, I hope that you can shoot down these three planes in the first time to reduce the losses of the artillery company as much as possible. ”,

"Yes, Commander...."

The artillery group composed of 12mén mortars of the artillery company immediately let out a roar of anger at the sound of Sun Cheng's order. One by one, the shells quickly and accurately entered the starting position of the Japanese army a kilometer away.

In an instant, in the dense explosion of shells, the Japanese army set out from the position, and was immediately enveloped in a thick smoke of gunpowder. The explosion of almost every shell takes the life of at least one xiǎo devil.

Facing the troops that had fallen into húnluàn, facing the arrogant artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. The commander of the Japanese wing, without any hesitation, immediately gave the order to destroy the enemy's artillery positions to the three planes in the air.

At an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, it is tantamount to an impossible thing to accurately drop a bomb into an artillery position of only a few tens of square meters. However, in the face of the orders of the commander on the ground, the pilots of the three planes, having to bow their heads as an air force unit, began to obey orders.

"Buzz...", a huge roar fell from the sky and reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Immediately after that, three bombers arranged in the shape of a 'pin' quickly swooped down towards the position of the ground artillery position, preparing to drop bombs.

However, just as the pilots of the three planes were about to press the bomb drop button, an accident happened. Dozens of sudden thick tongues of fire, in just a moment, completely enveloped their own planes. Before he could react, the leader flying in front turned into a fireball and slowly fell to the ground with a huge explosion.

At the same time, under the combined blow of the aircraft debris from the explosion of the lead plane and the dense rain of bullets, the two planes that followed closely behind did not have any accidents. One after the other, explosions erupted, turning into two huge fireballs. The three xiǎo devil planes, for their light enemy, finally paid the price of the annihilation of the entire army

Without the disturbance of the Japanese planes, the casualties of the guard regiment on the blocking position were immediately reduced by more than half. Compared to the excitement of the fighters on the position, because the troops managed to shoot down three planes. The xiǎo devils, who had lost air support, immediately became like their artillery units, and became turtles with shrunken heads.

The front-line commander, in order to cope with the division commander who supervised the battle behind him, Lieutenant General Fukuda, still launched a continuous offensive as in the morning, and started a wheel battle. However, these attacking forces, at the special request of the wing commander, did not exert all their strength.

Soon, this scene appeared on the battlefield of the Quartet camel. More than 100 devil soldiers, under the cover of grenadiers, mortars, and heavy machine guns behind them, launched an attack forward. However, just when the guard regiment on the blocking position had just opened fire and was preparing for a counterattack. The yellow sèlàngcháo, which was composed of Japanese troops, immediately retreated like cháo water.

Seeing the battle situation in the forward positions, with the arrival of the guard regiment, it slowly stabilized. Beside Liu Hua, Li Yuanqing, who had been tense in his heart, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said.

"Chief, the front has finally stabilized."

"Well, judging from the current situation, in a short period of time, the Japanese army should not make much movement. Let's go, go back to the headquarters, and report to me about the situation of the regiments of the 13th Division and the specific deployment of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. Liu Hua nodded and said, turned around, and walked towards the headquarters of the 13th Division.

The day, under the stalemate and restraint of the enemy and our armies, passed quickly. Early the next morning, while Liu Hua was nibbling on dry food and waiting for the telegram, a familiar footstep reached his ears. Immediately after, the communication staff officer who followed him appeared in front of Liu Hua with a telegram and a jī face.

"Staff Officer Wang, is there any news from the artillery regiment?" Liu Hua asked rhetorically.

"Yes, chief, the commander of the artillery regiment Li Guanghui telegraphed that the troops had arrived at the rear of the Sifang Camel Battlefield and requested instructions for the next operation." The communications staff officer nodded and replied decisively.

"Okay, the artillery regiment has arrived, and our preparations are almost halfway completed. Staff Officer Wang immediately sent a telegram back to Commander Li of the artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment immediately looked for favorable terrain and built an artillery position. At the same time, the air defense battalion immediately rushed to the battlefield to find favorable terrain and arrange air defense positions. In addition, immediately send a telegram to Commander Zhou Baozhong, asking about the specific location of the troops, and be quick..."Liu Hua put down the dry food in his hand, glanced at the map in front of him, and ordered decisively. "Yes, Chief..."

As soon as the communications staff officer left, Li Yuanqing, who had heard the news, appeared in front of Liu Hua out of breath.

"Chief, is it that the main force has arrived..."

Liu Hua nodded, pointed to the map in front of him and said, "Division Commander Li, your artillery battalion must be very familiar with the entire Sifang Camel and the surrounding terrain. In this way, immediately remove some artillery, go to the rear, and assist the heavy artillery regiment in arranging artillery positions. If nothing else, tonight will be the end of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army. “

"Yes, chief, I'll let someone deliver the order..."After several days of bloody fighting, Li Yuanqing, who finally waited for the time of the general attack, immediately commanded a combat staff officer behind him.

Seeing Li Yuanqing return to the map again, Liu Hua continued to speak: "Since the general attack is launched tonight, then, now we have to start arranging our troops. Chief of Staff Peng, can you tell us about the specific situation of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army at present. Of course, the most important thing is their troop allocation. ”

"Yes, chief..."Peng Shilu, the commander of the 13th Division, who was directly named by Liu Hua, replied with a moving face. Then, pointing to the map in front of him, he spoke.

"According to the number of days of fighting, the number of Japanese troops who died at the hands of our blocking troops was at least 4,500 people. Moreover, these soldiers who died in battle were all the sharpest combat infantry of the Japanese army. Together with the number of wounded in the attack, it was calculated based on the strength of the four infantry wings of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army. At present, all the remaining infantry of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army is combined, and there are only two infantry wings left, with a number of 6,000 to 7,000 people. ”

Seeing that several people nodded in agreement, Peng Shilu continued to speak.

"However, we cannot ignore the Japanese army's logistics soldiers and various technical arms. At present, nearly 1,000 cavalry units of the Japanese cavalry wing are still intact and located around the main force of the Japanese division, serving as a guard and patrol mission. Together with their engineer wings, baggage wings, field artillery wings, and staff officers at all levels of the headquarters, all add up to a force of 6,000 men. However, the combat effectiveness of these 6,000 people can only be equal to 3,000 ordinary infantry of the Japanese army at most. So tonight, the actual strength of the Japanese army we need to face is between 9,000 and 10,000 people. ”

"In order to avoid accidents, let's calculate the combat objectives of this time according to the combat effectiveness of 10,000 ordinary infantry of the Japanese army. Division Commander Li, the remaining three infantry regiments in your hands, plus the assistance of the column guard regiment. How many xiǎo devils can be eaten, when the time comes, we will let in as many xiǎo devils as we want. Liu Hua nodded and set his eyes on Li Yuanqing.

Facing Liu Hua's questioning, Li Yuanqing thought for a while, and then replied decisively: "Chief, the two main regiments hidden in the front, plus the remnants of the 37th Regiment and the guard regiment that reinforced me, the total strength is still more than 6,000 people. If you add the advantage of terrain and firepower, there is absolutely no problem in eating an infantry wing of the Japanese army. ”

"What about the two of you? Do you have any opinions..."Liu Hua asked as he set his eyes on the political commissar and chief of staff of the 13th Division.

"Report to the chief, I completely agree with the division commander, we have more than 6,000 people, and we have eaten more than 3,000 Xiǎo devils, and there is absolutely no accident." The two men replied in the affirmative.

Facing the three people in front of him, Liu Hua nodded appreciatively, and then decided: "Okay, since you are so sure, then I will let three thousand xiǎo devils in." Division Commander Li immediately gave an order to Commander Sun of the forward position: In today's blocking battle, the troops will retreat while fighting, and while killing and injuring the living forces of the Japanese army as much as possible, they will give up the second trench to the Xiǎo devils. ”

"Yes, chief, the 13th Division guarantees to complete the task..."Li Yuanqing replied confidently.

Just after the discussion of the specific number of enemies destroyed by the 13th Division was completed, Commander Zhou Baozhong's reply had already been sent to his own hands.

"Report to the chief, Commander Zhou called back, the 15th Division is currently ten kilometers away from the Sifang Expansion Battlefield. In addition, in order to prevent Japanese reconnaissance planes from discovering the strategic objectives of our troops, the troops have stopped advancing and are concealing themselves on the spot. The communications staff reported.

"Well done, now is indeed not the time to storm our combat goals. Immediately called back to Commander Zhou Baozhong and ordered him to stand still, and after dark, immediately according to the original plan, wear chā in place. The main force of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army formed a situation of encirclement. Liu Hua ordered.

Immediately, seeing a few people in front of him, Liu Hua said with a smile: "Comrades, now we are ready for everything, and we only owe the east wind." As soon as it gets dark and the encirclement of the Japanese army is completed, the troops will immediately launch a general attack. ”,

After several days of attacking, the troops not only did not make any progress, but lost their troops, and nearly 6,000 Imperial soldiers were killed and seriously wounded. More importantly, the telegrams sent to him by the command of the former enemy can be said to be harsher than the wording. They all demanded that they take down the Sifang camel in the shortest possible time and march to the base of the Eighth Route Army.

"Baga, is it true that the glory of my 124th Division is really going to be thrown here today..."Looking at the group of dejected senior commanders in front of him, Lieutenant General Fukuda, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

Looking at Lieutenant General Fukuda, who was frowning at him, the chief of staff spoke: "Division commander, if there is strong artillery support, I believe that my heroic 124th Division will be able to successfully break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army." However, so far, the former enemy headquarters has been destroyed by a large number of unknown forces on the way to our army..."

"Failure is defeat, is it possible that the excellent Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire, after losing its powerful artillery fire, has no combat effectiveness? Forget it, you don't have to explain it to me. Lieutenant General Fukuda shook his head and said helplessly.

However, just when the atmosphere in the entire command headquarters became extremely oppressive, almost breathless. For several days, Yin Tengdazuo, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Wing, who had not launched an offensive and was resting in the rear, stood up and asked for battle.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, on behalf of more than 3,000 warriors of the Fourth Infantry Wing, I would like to ask you to fight. Since the three-day attack, the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side has been shaken and drunk under the repeated attacks of our three infantry companies. He believed that as long as he launched an attack on it with a more rapid offensive, the Eighth Route Army's blocking position would definitely be trampled under our feet. Your Excellency, Division Commander, if you can give me a chance. ”

Hearing this, he looked at Yin Teng Dazuo, who had a resolute look on his face in front of him. Lieutenant General Fukuda, who was frowning, was immediately relieved. patted Kondo Daisa's shoulder in front of him, and said with a look of relief: "Yo Xi, Yin Tengjun, you know the difficulties, and you are worthy of being the best samurai in my Great Japanese Empire." Okay, I promise you this request, today, it is up to you to attack, and I hope you can lead thousands of warriors to fulfill your promise. ”

"Haiyi, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander, I will guarantee the completion of the mission..."Yin Teng Dazuo replied with an excited face.

"Well, go ahead. In addition, the chief of staff reorganized all the artillery and engineer wings to which the division belonged. It was reorganized into ordinary infantry and supplemented into two infantry wings to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. Lieutenant General Fukuda nodded, and then ordered.
