Today, the second update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections......

Xinkou, the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yunfei came to the forward headquarters of the position, lying in the trench, holding a telescope, looking at the Xinkou position of the little devil opposite.

After the last shelling, the little devils who suffered a big loss rebuilt the Xinkou position, adding a lot of cement fortifications, but there are still a lot of civil fortifications.

It seems that the little devil still doesn't remember his surname for a long time, and seriously underestimated the power of heavy artillery, how can these civil fortifications withstand the bombardment of 155-mm howitzers.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch, there were still ten minutes before eight o'clock, and at present, all units were ready for battle, and all troops had entered the designated attack positions.

Opposite, the position of the little devils.

As soon as it was dawn today, the little devil saw a large number of Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, and the number seemed to be more than last time, and I don't know if there was that terrible shelling this time.

The last time the Eighth Route Army shelled the large-caliber howitzer group, the little devil remembered it as fresh as ever, and he had a lingering heart, the shelling scene was too terrifying, too tragic, and the one-hour shelling actually caused tens of thousands of casualties.

Fortunately, not long ago, the North China Army replenished more than 10,000 new recruits to these two divisions, and the two divisions and regiments currently stationed in Xinkou, namely the 34th Division and the 46th Division, have more than 40,000 little devils, as well as more than a dozen chariots and hundreds of small mountain artillery.

Although the two division commanders were full of solemnity, they couldn't say that they were worried, and they felt that their more than 40,000 little devils, although the offense was insufficient, the defense should be more than enough.

Eighth Route Army position.

Zhang Yunfei observed in the trench for a few minutes, and saw that the little devils on the opposite side looked like they were facing a big enemy, and they all entered the defensive position.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch, just eight o'clock in the morning, only to see the sound of cannon shooting faintly behind him, a few seconds later, Zhang Yunfei looked up at the sky, with extraordinary eyesight, Zhang Yunfei saw a faint streamer in the sky, let out a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the position of the little devil.

The current artillery regiment is a large regiment of more than 3,000 people, equipped with 120 155-mm howitzers, and the effect of 120 artillery shelling together can be imagined.

And this time, there were plenty of shells, and as early as a few days ago, a large number of shells, weapons and ammunition were transported from Datong to the temporary munitions warehouse in Shuozhou.

It only takes two or three hours to transport ammunition from Shuozhou to the forward position here by car, so this time the artillery regiment can let go of its hands and feet and bombard the little devils fiercely.

It didn't take long for most of the one hundred and twenty high-explosive shells of this round of shelling to hit the forward defensive positions of the little devils, and only a few shells were slightly out of the way and exploded nearby.

Seeing the good shelling effect, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face, it seems that the level of the artillery brigade has improved a lot in recent times.

On the opposite side, the commander of a division of the little devil happened to be holding a telescope, observing, and saw that in the first round of shelling, there were hundreds of shells exploding in his forward position, and the telescope was so frightened that the telescope almost fell to the ground.

Thinking of the hundreds of large-caliber howitzers, the commander of the Little Devil Division felt cold in his heart, and he also seemed to have little confidence in the newly built defensive position.

The artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army did not pay attention to the mood of the little devils, the shelling has been carried out in an orderly manner, one shell after another exploded in the position of the little devils, and the civil fortifications built by the little devils who thought they were quite strong, under the shelling of the 155 mm large-caliber howitzers, were like paper paste, as long as they were hit by shells, these civil engineering fortifications would be blown to the ground of mud and rocks, and the little devils inside were also blown away.

Even if the cement fortifications built by the little devils were hit by the shells, they were also crumbling, and wide cracks began to appear, as long as they were hit by the shells again, they would definitely be blown up, and the little devils hiding inside were not comfortable, although they were not shocked to death, but they were also shocked to the southeast and northwest, and a few were even shocked to the point that their faces were pale and their eyes were dull.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the Little Devil Division hurriedly returned to the headquarters and sent a report to Yoshio Kozuka in Taiyuan, saying that Xinkou had been attacked by tens of thousands of eight roads, and there was a large howitzer group shelling, and asked for tactical guidance.

Compared with the nervousness and helplessness of the head of the little devil division, Zhang Yunfei was in a good mood, holding the telescope and looking at it while saying to the deputy division commander Liu Dazhu next to him, yes, yes, Wang Daquan, this kid is getting better and better at fighting.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was talking to Liu Dazhu, a messenger ran quickly to Zhang Yunfei along the trench and said, "Division Commander Liu of the 129th Division is here and wants to see you, Division Commander." ”

"Let's go, Dazhu, let's go and meet Master Liu together." Zhang Yunfei said to Liu Dazhu beside him, and after speaking, he took the lead and turned around and walked towards the headquarters, and Liu Dazhu hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, he saw the tall figure of Division Commander Liu, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Division Commander Liu, you came in person, and you didn't say hello to me, I'll pick you up." ”

"Brother is too polite, I am on the order of the commander-in-chief, I came with troops to support you, this time I can bring more than 30,000 troops, and when the battle is over, my brother can replenish our division with a little weapons and ammunition."

Our division is not as good as you, it is estimated that after this battle, the little money that has been saved will be exhausted, in order to continue to resist, I have a thick face and look for my brother to replenish ammunition. ”

Zhang Yunfei listened to Division Commander Liu's words, and also felt the difficulties and difficulties of the 129th Division, so he said happily: "This time to fight the Xinkou position, our division does not want any weapons and ammunition for the little devils, all of them will be captured by your division, and after the battle, I will add one million rounds of ammunition to your 129th Division." ”

Although Yan Xishan was promised that all the weapons and equipment captured by the 136th Division belonged to the Jin Sui Army, in the Xinkou battlefield, Zhang Yunfei did not capture them at all, and there was no equipment for the Jin Sui Army at that time, and it could not be regarded as Zhang Yunfei's breach of contract.

It's a big deal to defeat Taiyuan at that time, and give all the weapons and equipment of the little devils in Taiyuan to the Jin Sui army, I believe that Yan Laoxi will not say anything, and there will be no dissatisfaction.

Master Liu, who was overjoyed, excitedly shook Zhang Yunfei's hand and said, "Really? Dude, you're really good. ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled and said: "Everyone is the Eighth Route Army, give more weapons and ammunition, it's nothing, anyway, it's all used to fight devils." ”

"Okay, okay, I like the person my brother wants, and this kindness has been recorded in our 129th Division." Master Liu also said heartily.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and walked out of the headquarters together, the shells of the artillery regiment were playing happily, seeing such a huge power of the shells, Division Commander Liu said enviously: "Your 136th Division is really rich, large-caliber howitzer group, it seems that there are at least hundreds of them." ”

"Hehe, this is all our belongings, and it took great difficulty to produce more than 100 doors." Zhang Yunfei said modestly.

"What? These cannons are produced by your base area, which is amazing, amazing. Senior Commander Liu couldn't believe it, and said with surprise on his face.

In fact, now Zhang Yunfei has equipped two 155-mm howitzer artillery regiments, each of which is equipped with 120 cannons, and Zhang Yunfei has concealed half of the cannons from Division Commander Liu.

Even so, an artillery regiment with more than 100 large-caliber howitzers also made Division Commander Liu envious, you must know that the artillery regiment directly under the 129th Division is equipped with dozens of 70-millimeter mountain guns and infantry guns, even these dozens of 70-millimeter caliber cannons once made Division Commander Liu proud.
