Chapter 634 will start with the 124th Division (ask for subscription!) ）

Half an hour later, while Liu Hua and Zhou Baozhong were anxiously waiting, Li Yuanqing's battle plan was finally sent to his hands. Looking at the battle plan in his hand, Liu Hua's eyes were like a huge treasure, and he couldn't help but look at them.

"Combat staff officer, immediately on the map, find me a place called the Sifang Camel..."

With the telegram in hand, I came to the huge military map, and the four camels had been clearly marked. Immediately, a combat staff officer stood up and explained to the two.

"Long, Sifang camel is located in the southeast area of Baishan County, and the straight-line distance from Baishan County is 8o kilometers. The highway from Shanhaiguan to my Baishan county seat is crossed by this quadrangular camel. In addition, the terrain of this quadrangular camel is very suitable for blocking battles. The whole square camel is like a cauldron that has been cut off. As long as the Japanese army enters this cauldron, it will inevitably be attacked by our army from three sides. It can be said that it is a good place to attack and retreat. ”

Combined with the battle plan in his hand, Liu Huaxun marked Li Yuanqing's deployment on the map. Soon, Liu Hua's mind clearly showed the entire battle scene. Then, he said with a moving face.

"Haha, this Li Yuanqing really knows how to choose the terrain, such a good terrain was actually bumped into by him. God help me, it seems that this quadrangular camel is the grave of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army. ”

"Commander, you mean that Li Yuanqing of the 13th Division plans to annihilate the 124th Division of the Japanese Army with the strength of one division, how is it possible?" Regarding Liu Hua's laughter, Zhou Baozhong asked in disbelief.

"I didn't say that just one 13th Division could completely annihilate the 124th Division of the Japanese Army. However, I believe that with the deployment of Li Yuanqing of the 13th Division, there is absolutely no problem in eating an infantry wing of Xiao devils in this quadripartite camel. As for the 124th Division after the loss of two infantry wings, it will depend on our main forces to eat it together with his 13th Division. Liu Hua explained.

"You see, Division Commander Li quietly hid his two main regiments on the backs of these two mountains. At that time, as long as the vanguard of the Japanese army entered this pocket formation under the condition that Li Yuanqing took the initiative to abandon his position. Then, the two main regiments will recapture the two high and low with lightning speed. Then, from three sides, they attacked the Japanese troops trapped in the encirclement. When the time comes, if more than 10,000 people in our hands suddenly appear in the rear of the Xiao devil. You say, is Xiao Devil rescuing a besieged infantry wing, or is he organizing a defense on the spot and waiting for a breakout?"

Seeing Zhou Baozhong nodding thoughtfully, Liu Hua said with a resolute face: "Such a good fighter is in front of us, no matter what, we can't miss it." I decided that this time, we would take the 124th Division of the Japanese Army and eat everything that was left of him..."

Zhou Baozhong, who reacted from the shock, also immediately spoke: "Commander, you just give the order!" ”

"Well, order the column guard regiment to run forward and reinforce the Quartet Camel Defenders, which will be assigned to the command of Division Commander Li Yuanqing. At the same time, he ordered Division Commander Li Yuanqing to postpone the execution of his plan to annihilate the enemy before the arrival of our main forces. The troops who hold the frontal position, no matter what the cost, will give me a position to the death. Liu Hua ordered with a decisive face.

"Order all the troops in Baishan County to assemble immediately, and the artillery regiment and air defense battalion will go out first. Remember, during the entire march, we must guard against the aerial reconnaissance of the Xiao devil reconnaissance plane, and immediately carry out the execution..."...

With the issuance of a series of orders, the entire Baishan County immediately began to act. Looking at the headquarters that was also busy, Liu Hua opened his mouth and said: "Old Zhou, the follow-up troops will be commanded by you and march to the Sifang Camel area in concealment. I followed the guard regiment and went to the four camels first. In the hands of Division Commander Li Yuanqing, there is only one regiment of troops used to block head-on, and I am worried that he will not be able to bear it..."

"Please rest assured that Zhou Baozhong will ensure the completion of the task."

Zhou Baozhong assured with a confident face, and then, to the head of the guard regiment Sun Cheng who came in a hurry, he ordered with a serious face: "Commander Sun, the safety of the commander will be given to your guard regiment." If, by then, I see that the commander is hurt a little, don't blame me for the military law. ”

"Please rest assured, Commander, the safety of the chief is absolutely guaranteed..."

Return to the Quadrangular Camel Battlefield. Without the supply of various ammunition, the Japanese field artillery wing, more than 50 artillery pieces. As the last shell ran out, he had to be a shrunken turtle. However, even if the Japanese army did not have the support of large-caliber artillery, the 37th Regiment on the blocking position did not take it well. ,

In the rear of the blocking position, the remaining 12 guns of the artillery battalion were all holding high the muzzles of the black dongdong, ready to reinforce the front-line blocking troops at any time. However, in the face of the Japanese bombers constantly circling in the sky, in order to avoid the fate of the remaining twelve artillery pieces being destroyed again. Li Yuanqing, the commander of the division, had to order the artillery battalion to also act as a turtle with a shrunken head and wait for the arrival of night.

Without the support of the artillery battalion, the mortar company of the 37 regiment, grenadiers. Although they all used their fastest speed, they constantly fired shells at the Japanese attacking troops in front of the position. However, the mortars and grenadiers attached to the Japanese army also returned fire with denser and more accurate shells.

The shells fired by both the enemy and us, you come and go. In the end, because of the superiority of the Japanese army, both in quantity and quality, the mortar company of the 37th Regiment had to be defeated. In this way, more than 1,000 soldiers of the 37th Regiment directly fought under the fire of various Xiao calibers of the Japanese army.

Finally, the plane, which had been hovering over the heads of the fighters for a whole day, had to fly out of the combat area and back to its own nest because it was dark. The artillery battalion behind the position, which had been a turtle with a shrunken head for a day, quickly took off its camouflage and joined the ranks of blocking the attack.

Under the blow of sudden, heavy artillery fire. The last attack of the Japanese army had to leave behind pieces of corpses and withdraw from the position in disarray, ending their own pointless attack for a day.

"Division commander, the attack of the Xiao devil has finally been repelled by us...."Looking at the ghost soldiers who left Hao Hao Dangdang, looking at the blocking position that had been blown to pieces and the corpses of the soldiers could be seen everywhere. Hu Beiwen, the head of the 37th regiment, finally let go of his tense heart, and said with a long sigh of relief to Li Yuanqing behind him.

"yes, finally repelled. Ordered the artillery battalion to give me a round of shells at half-hour intervals facing the Japanese garrison, so that they could also taste the taste of being bombed. At the same time, the guard company and reconnaissance company of the division headquarters were ordered to replace the 37th regiment in the forward position for rest and recuperation, replenish physical strength, and treat the wounded. More brutal battles are yet to come? Li Yuanqing nodded and ordered decisively.

With the huge battlefield, it was slowly shrouded in darkness. The battlefield, which had been noisy for a day, finally fell completely silent, except for the sound of shelling every half an hour.

The 13th Division was temporarily in the headquarters, and Hu Beiwen, the commander of the 37th Regiment, was reporting to Li Yuanqing in front of him the specific losses of his 37th Regiment in the past day with a gloomy face.

"Division commander, a day's fighting, the second trench we held onto, has changed hands many times. However, in the end, with the support of the rear artillery battalion, it was recaptured from the hands of Xiao devils. However, for this, our 37th regiment also paid a very heavy price. ”

Seeing that the division commander motioned for him to continue, Hu Beiwen continued to speak:

"In one day's fighting, our army once again killed and wounded at least 1,300 Japanese soldiers. However, our 37th Regiment also paid 589 soldiers to die, and 116 soldiers were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. In addition, there was the price of minor injuries to more than 300 fighters. At present, there are only more than 12oo of the combatable soldiers of our 37th regiment. ”

Hearing the huge casualties of the troops, Li Yuanqing's heart was also very sad. However, thinking of the telegram that the commander personally came in the morning, Li Yuanqing's face immediately showed a trace of resoluteness. Facing the political commissar Wang Xiaoming beside him, he asked, "Lao Wang, how many people are left in our new corps?" ”

"After the replenishment of the 37th Regiment last night, there are now less than five hundred people left." Political Commissar Wang Xiaoming replied.

"Five hundred, that's enough. Captain Tang, Commander Jin..."Li Yuanqing nodded, and then shouted to the other two regiment leaders in front of him.

"Divisional commander, is there any task? The 37th Regiment has been fighting hard for two days and one night in front, and it should be our turn..."As soon as Li Yuanqing's words fell, there was a hint of sharpness in the eyes of the two regiment commanders. Immediately, Tang Kai, the head of the 38th regiment, asked with an expectant expression.

"Let the two of you down, the task of your two regiments is to continue to hide for me. However, in order to maintain the needs of the next battle, the two of you, from your own regiment, each chou transferred a company of veterans to supplement the 37th regiment. Of course, I will compensate you for the corresponding number of recruits. As for the remaining recruits, together with two veteran companies, they were all replenished to the 37 regiment to cope with the shy operational needs. Li Yuanqing shook his head and ordered decisively. Regarding Li Yuanqing's order, Jin Dazhong, the commander of the 39th Regiment, who had not spoken, was obviously very unconvinced by this arrangement. As soon as the division commander's words fell, Jin Dazhong asked with an unhappy face.

"Ahh How can this be? Teacher, how long are you going to hold us back? Don't let Lao Hu's 37 regiment eat all the dishes, and our remaining two regiments will drink the northwest wind..."

And as soon as Kim Dae-jung's words fell, several other regiment commanders, including the political commissar and chief of staff, all cast suspicious glances at him. Obviously, everyone is very incomprehensible about their own deployment.

Seeing this, Li Yuanqing knew that if he did not tell the ultimate combat goal, it would be difficult for him to be convinced by the order he had just given. So, in everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Yuanqing continued to speak.

"Comrades, I know that you do not understand my deployment very much. However, here, I want to tell you that in this operation, our appetite is not only to block the attack of the Japanese 124th Division. There is also an important task, which is to cooperate with the main force under the command of the commander and eat all the 124th divisions without any left. ”

Seeing everyone's shocked gaze, Li Yuanqing continued.

"Therefore, the two regiments of 38 and 39, until the final general offensive arrives, must not move. In the meantime, I'm having good news for you. If nothing else, the column guard regiment will arrive here tomorrow morning and be placed under the command of our 13th Division, which will be responsible for blocking the Japanese 124th Division. Now, do you have any questions about the order I just made? ”

"No..." For a while, the puzzled looks on the faces of several people disappeared immediately. Then, there was a hint of jī moving, and he replied in unison.

"Very well, if there is no doubt, the ministries must strictly follow the orders I have just made. After the arrival of Commander Hu, the recruits, and the infantry companies sent by the 38th and 39th regiments, you must complete the reorganization of your troops between dawn tomorrow morning and continue to block the attack of the Xiao devils. How, are there any problems? Facing the head of Hu Beiwen in front of him, Li Yuanqing asked.

"No problem, division commander, even if you fight all my 37 regiments, and resolutely block the offensive of Xiao devils, please rest assured." Hu Beiwen replied affirmatively.

"Very good, I believe that all the commanders and fighters of the 37th Regiment will be able to successfully complete the task. Political commissar, the next meeting will be given to you..."Li Yuanqing nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered.

In the headquarters of the Japanese division, under the continuous shelling, in order to let his subordinates have a good rest. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Fukuda, had to order the main forces of the division to retreat five kilometers. After the main force of the unit completely withdrew from the range of the artillery battalion, the troops were ordered to camp on the spot and rest and recuperate.

However, to the surprise of the division commander, Lieutenant General Fukuda, at this moment, a huge encirclement was slowly forming around him. At this moment, Lieutenant General Fukuda is holding his subordinates accountable for today's unfavorable attack.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the losses of the troops have been counted so far?" Looking at the angry Lieutenant General Fukuda in front of him, the chief of staff replied in a loud voice.

"Read..."

"Hai, according to statistics, in today's one-day attack, the 124th Division of our Imperial Japanese Empire paid a heavy price of more than 13oo casualties. Among them, 897 were directly killed and 328 were seriously injured, completely losing their combat effectiveness. At present, the Second Brigade of our Second Infantry Wing has almost lost all of its strength, and the entire brigade has completely lost its combat effectiveness. ”

"Smack..."A crisp sound of porcelain breaking sounded, and a bottle of sake placed in front of Lieutenant General Fukuda was smashed to the ground by Lieutenant General Fukuda. Then, he scolded with an angry face: "Baga..."

Turning around, he saw the commander of the Second Infantry Wing who was facing him with a gloomy face and a word, and asked: "Yoshino-kun, nearly a thousand Imperial Army soldiers have been killed, and someone must pay for this." Today's attack is under your specific command, and it is up to you to decide what to do..."

Faced with Lieutenant General Fukuda's questioning, the wing captain knew that one of his three favorite generals had to be sacrificed today. Otherwise, he would not be able to perform jiao to the division commander in front of him. Thinking of this, Yoshino Daisa wiped the cold sweat that was constantly breaking out on his forehead, and then replied.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Division Commander. In today's one-day battle, commanders at all levels have almost entered into their due responsibilities. However, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, in the process of attacking, because of the light enemy of the captain, eventually led to the destruction of the entire army, under the counterattack of the enemy. For today's battle, I humbly thought that the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade would pay an indelible responsibility. After the meeting was dismissed, he was instructed to give orders in person. Let the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, in the name of a soldier, apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. ”,

"I don't want to listen to explanations, I just want results. Okay, after dealing with it, just think I'll make a report," Lieutenant General Fukuda nodded with satisfaction. A pair of sharp eyes, after sweeping the commanders at all levels in front of him, spoke.

"According to the battle report from the former enemy headquarters, at present, several other armies, after bloody battles, have advanced a distance of at least several tens of kilometers. However, my 124th Division has been here for dozens of hours, but it has not stayed here. Your Excellency, the former chief of staff of the enemy's commander-in-chief, was very dissatisfied with the progress of our division. Therefore, we are required to ask our 124th Division, no matter what the cost, to break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front of us before it gets dark tomorrow. I don't know, do you have confidence? ”

"Haih," a dozen senior officers replied in unison.

"Yo Si. Now I order, the remnants of the baggage wing, reduced to two infantry squadrons, to be supplemented by the second infantry wing. At the same time, tomorrow's offensive will be completed by the 3rd Infantry Wing. In addition, the cavalry wing, which is responsible for the surrounding vigilance, reports immediately if there is any situation. Alright, now adjourn the meeting..."Lieutenant General Fukuda ordered decisively.

Early the next morning, with the arrival of Japanese air reinforcements, the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which had just been replaced, once again launched a squadron-sized series of attacks on the 37th Regiment. A bloody battle, on the Quartet camel blocking position, inevitably unfolded again.

Time passed minute by minute, and with the Japanese army attacking again and again, after leaving the corpses on the ground, they retreated in embarrassment. In the trenches, the soldiers who held their positions were constantly suffering casualties under the continuous attacks of Japanese sharpshooters, mortars, grenadiers, and even air reinforcements.
