Chapter 464: Jizhong Attack and Defense

"Water, water!" Zheng Weiguo felt like a fire in his chest, and he woke up with a sudden struggle. When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was already lying on a big kang, turned my head to look around, and found that this guy was lying on the tail of the kang and snoring, and hurriedly stretched out his foot and kicked him.

The pillar looked up in a daze, and shouted happily: "Oh, Boss, you're awake!" ”

Zheng Weiguo hummed with some difficulty and said, "Go and pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst." ”

"Hey, you're waiting!" The pillar answered, hurriedly took a porcelain jar to pour water, and soon ran back.

Zheng Weiguo took a sip and took a sip, feeling refreshed, and asked, "Pillar, how long have I been lying down?" ”

The pillar said, "It's not short, Chief, you've been in a coma all day!" I didn't wake up all night last night, oops, it made us anxious. Fortunately, Dr. Bai came to see it, and said that your problem is not big, and you can wake up. We were not at ease, and took turns to take care of it. Look at me, hehe, I'm asleep. ”

Zheng Weiguo saw that his eyes were red, and he probably hadn't slept all night, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Then he asked, "How is the battle going?" Who's in command? ”

Zhu Zi hurriedly said: "Alas, you are in a coma at this time, the little devil is fighting fiercely, fortunately, Chief of Staff Zhou can control the scene, otherwise he will be beaten to Lixian." ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What happened yesterday, have you found out?" ”

The pillar nodded, and said with some resentment: "Check it out, Boss!" It's the little devil who uses a new weapon that can put ultra-high voltage electricity on our telephone lines. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded slightly. said: "Well, I feel like it, it seems that Okamura Ninji really got a lot of treasures!" Hey, by the way, was there a big casualty in yesterday's accident? ”

The pillar glared at him and said, "Why not?" Even you, forty or fifty people were electrocuted in front of each telephone, and there are still more than 20 unconscious, and eleven brothers died on the spot. The loss of equipment is also very large, and the telephone system on our side and the telephone system in one partition are almost all scrapped. As he spoke, he hammered the edge of the kang a few times with some annoyance.

Zheng Weiguo was taken aback. Hurriedly asked, "What about Professor Yang?" ”

Zhu Zi said with annoyance, "Professor Yang was the most seriously injured. I'm still unconscious! Political Commissar Cheng is a little better, and he woke up last night. Samza had the best luck, just walked to the door, only to fall. Swollen his arm. ”

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "Is this still called good luck? ”

The pillar argued: "What's wrong? The assistant was standing in front of the switch. If it weren't for a step forward. Then the arc has to hit the body. Commander Lu of the First Division was also lucky, and was about to pick up the phone, but was delayed by Chief of Staff Wang. He suffered only a few minor injuries. The experts came to confirm it, saying that as long as they directly contact the telephone equipment, they would have to lose half their lives if they didn't die. ”

Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, fortunately, the call was not answered at that time, otherwise he and Professor Yang, Political Commissar Cheng, Chief of Staff Zhou, and Commander Lu would not have been wiped out by the little devil's high-voltage electricity? Then Jizhong is really going to make a big mess.

After asking about some information, Zheng Weiguo felt low energy, and his head was dizzy again, so he had to lie down again. Fortunately, this body is still quite strong, and after drinking a bowl of porridge, I finally recovered a little bit of vitality, and I was able to sit up slowly, but I couldn't walk around under the kang, and I couldn't make it hard.

Zheng Weiguo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Does Zhilan know about my injury?" ”

The pillar smiled and said, "I have already ordered the senza, but I am afraid that my sister-in-law will be worried, so I will hide it and not say it." ”

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "That's good!" He patted the edge of the kang again and said, "Oh, I'm still fighting, and I can't lie down like this, I have to go to the war room to have a look." ”

The pillar hurriedly stopped and said, "This is not good! Boss, you're still empty! He came to see you once just now, saying that he was there for things outside, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "The chief of staff is also injured, how can he be allowed to carry such a big matter alone?" You help me up, I need to go and see. ”

The pillar refused to live or die, twisted his neck and said, "No! ”

Zheng Weiguo wanted to get up by himself, but he didn't expect a gold star to appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Hey, I said why are you a kid?" Is it important to recuperate from injuries, or is it important to fight? Help me up, or I'll shoot you! ”

Zhu Zi muttered: "If I am killed, I have to heal my injuries first!" Anyway, he refused to live or die, so angry that Zheng Hu rolled his eyes.

In the middle of the dispute, Chief of Staff Zhou came, and while he was still in the courtyard, he shouted happily: "Is the general seat awake?" That's great! After saying three or two steps, he walked in, and when he saw that Zheng Huzi had really woken up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Zheng Weiguo looked up and saw that Chief of Staff Zhou was tired, with one arm still hanging on his shoulder, and hurriedly asked, "Old Zhou, your injury is not in the way, right?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's the left hand that is injured anyway, so don't delay anything." Then he asked, "How are you feeling now, Boss?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled helplessly: "Damn, it's like running seventy or eighty miles in one breath, and my whole body is about to fall apart; It's like being beaten with seventy or eighty sticks, and it hurts everywhere! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou comforted: "I have heard from the doctor, knowing that it is a good thing to have pain, which means that the nerves are not injured, and it is good to take care of them, and there will be no sequelae." ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "Alas, it's not the right time to hurt!" Lao Zhou, what is the boundary of the little devil now? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was silent for a moment and replied: "General Seat, Gaoyang and Anguo have fallen, and Boye is afraid that he will not be able to keep it, and we are now considering whether to hold on to Lixian for a while." ”

Zheng Weiguo asked rhetorically: "Can you hold it?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou replied: "I dare not say more, there is no problem in guarding for a month." ”

Zheng Weiguo asked again: "The west can be guarded for a month, but what about the east?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "You can rely on the Ziya River and the Fuyang River, defend the big city in the north, and guard the river in the middle." In the south of Shouxian County, it is not a problem to guard for half a month. ”

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "General seat, it is impossible to retreat according to the original plan at the moment. Because no matter which direction we move, we will lead a large number of enemy troops over. Unless we retreat to the northwest of Jin or Zhongtiao Mountain, it will only lead to the fall of more base areas. Moreover, the Japanese army's supply capacity is stronger than we thought, and unless we can effectively cut off their supply lines, it will be very easy to force them to end this encirclement and suppression. ”

Historically, the troops in central Hebei were suddenly transferred to the northwest of Shanxi, and some of the troops were withdrawn to northern Shaanxi. With the strength of the 41st Army. Killing to the northwest of Jin is naturally not a problem. But the losses are huge. You can't do that unless you have to.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Hard fighting is not a way, you have to think of another idea." However, Lixian County and other strategic places. I think I can hold on for a week or two. I won't say much about the importance of these places. And it itself has relatively complete fortifications. It's a shame to just give up. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, Boss, I think so too." The Japanese army is now gaining momentum. If its spirit is not severely defeated, the battle in the future will be even more difficult to fight. ”

……

The Japanese side did not know that an unintentional move by them almost eliminated the command center in the Second War Zone. Its troops are still launching a fierce attack on the Baoding-Cangzhou line in a step-by-step manner. It is only 120 kilometers from Gaoyang, which was occupied by the Japanese army, to Shaheqiao Town in Cangxian County, and it can be opened in two days under normal circumstances.

However, the Japanese army also began to taste the strength of the units in Jizhong. It is true that under the tutelage of Okamura Ningji, the North China Front has made great progress in the past two years, but the units in central Hebei have not been idle, and they have made great progress in training, tactics, and equipment. Although they were caught off guard by the Japanese at first, under the command of Chief of Staff Zhou, the main forces quickly entered the battle and stabilized the situation of the battle.

On the east bank of the Tang River, the Japanese army supply station. The green river banks, the white tents, the clear water, if there is no smell of blood in the air, can be said to be a very beautiful picture of late spring.

A sudden sound of gurgling sounded in the grass not far away, and two heads slowly came out. A villager dressed as an old farmer pointed to the front and introduced: "Camp Chief Huang, that is the material distribution center for the little devils. You see, dozens of tents are all pulled in cars, and all the trucks are piled up by the river! ”

Battalion Commander Huang picked up the binoculars and looked, good guys, there are more than 40 tents, lined up in three rows along the Tang River, like a white lace. However, there were tents, but there were not many troops defending them.

"The little devil sent such a few people to guard? Not afraid of being served? ”

"It's not just a little bit of people! If you look further north and south, there is also the barracks of the little devils! ”

Battalion Commander Huang took a closer look, and sure enough, there were many troops deployed near this military station. If you rush to the military station, I am afraid that you will end up with an enemy on your back.

"What's going on, battalion commander?" The fellow looked at Camp Commander Huang eagerly, and said expectantly, "Can you fight down?" ”

Battalion Commander Huang smiled: "No problem, you can just look at it when you are old!" ”

That night, a piece of ground on the east bank of the Tang River suddenly loosened, and after a while, a head came out of it, and after looking around, it quickly drilled back. It wasn't long before a dark shadow jumped out of the hole, reconnoitred around, and made sure that there was no enemy before the cricket screamed.

Soon, one after another, black shadows came out of it, including four light machine guns and two Makqin Bang Bang cannons. Taking advantage of the familiar terrain, this small unit quietly approached the Japanese military station and walked to a distance of almost a kilometer before stopping.

At this time, the Japanese army's perimeter cordon was already behind them. However, once an attack was launched on the station, the surrounding Japanese puppet army could still be quickly reinforced. This is also the reason why the Japanese army dared to put supplies in the field.

The soldiers stared wide-eyed at the Japanese station. I saw that on the bank of the Tang River not far away, several bonfires had already been lit by the Japanese army, and the tents were like lanterns. From time to time, you can still hear Japanese soldiers singing.

"What kind of fun is the little devil singing, it's so fucking ugly!"

"Exactly! Then let's shut them up! ”

A few soldiers lightly lifted a Makqin Bang cannon up, and first fired a shot at the place where there was a bonfire, and there was a loud bang. The grenade was fired so accurately that it landed right in the middle of the campfire, and the firewood and charcoal inside were blown up in all directions, sparks in all directions, and several tents were set on fire in an instant.

The Japanese soldiers sitting around the campfire were startled, and before they could understand what was going on. The Bang Bang Gunner has pulled the trigger all the way down. Just listen to the boom boom boom...... A total of more than 20 grenades were smashed over, and the bonfire was exploded at once. Not to mention the Japanese soldiers who sang around the bonfire, a large area was blown down horizontally, and those who were not hit by shrapnel were also burned to the point of being burned by the charcoal fire.

"Hit, hit, squad leader!"

"Don't talk nonsense, withdraw! Fast! ”

As soon as a chain of bullets was fired, the thump cannon team immediately moved along the established route. The surrounding Japanese troops heard the sound of artillery and hurriedly looked around. But they saw nothing. In fact, this small army did not go far. Still lurking not far from the station. The Japanese shelled the nearby traffic arteries indiscriminately for a while, and finally had to give up in a huff.

"Ba Ge Yalu, the tent is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

The Japanese troops at the station trembled and scattered and hid for a while. When he found that there were no more shells, he hurried to put out the fire. Japanese troops swarmed out of the tents. They all took various containers to the river to scoop water. There also appear to be several diesel-powered pumps.

Battalion Commander Huang looked at it, lowered his voice and said to the soldiers: "Write down the location of the little devil, and wait for the next place to fight in a crowded place." Do you see it all? ”

"See clearly!"

It didn't take long for the Japanese to finally put out the fire, and they were tired like dead dogs, and they drilled into the tents. The scout hurriedly ran back and reported: "Battalion commander, the little devil is back in the nest again, do you want to fight!" ”

Camp Commander Huang sneered and said, "Finally seize the opportunity!" Then he asked: "How many 37 shells did you bring?" ”

One of the officers in charge of the supply replied: "Four base grenades, half a base Brimstone!" ”

According to the latest regulations of the World War II Zone, one base of Bangbang artillery is 100 shells, and four and a half bases are 450 rounds, which is enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot.

Camp Commander Huang happily punched the guy and scolded with a smile: "Why did you bring so much? ”

Everyone laughed.

Battalion Commander Huang waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone be careful, you can fight as much as you can." But one thing to remember, don't be stupid and don't hit the nail in one place. If you are killed by the little devils, it doesn't matter if you give your life, don't be embarrassed by me. Do it! ”

"Wait a minute, battalion commander!" A communicator with a portable Siemens radio station on his back hurriedly ran over.

"What's wrong? Say it! ”

"The superiors learned that there was a little devil's military station here, and they were ready to kill it with heavy artillery, and asked us to provide accurate coordinates and help them calibrate their bearings."

When the fighters heard this, they were all dumbfounded. A machine gunner with a nervous temperament couldn't help but shout, "Ah, then we're not working for nothing?" ”

"Shhhhh Camp Commander Huang reprimanded in a low voice, and said, "Tell me, what are we doing here at risk?" ”

"Do you need to ask? Bomb the little devil's military station! ”

"It's not over? Anyway, it's all bombing, let's carry forward the style tonight, so that the brothers of the heavy artillery unit will also show their faces! ”

When everyone heard it, they all applauded.

Soon, the data on the position of a group of Japanese military stations was determined, and then quickly transmitted by radio to the artillery headquarters located in the rear. The reason why it can be measured so quickly is that in addition to the strict training of the troops in peacetime, the digital calibration of important areas is also a very important aspect. The so-called digital calibration is to strictly measure the target area, and then mark it with numbers in a unified manner, and draw a diagram after the last one. During the battle, the artillery does not need to re-survey, but only needs to adjust the shooting target elements by working on the map.

This set of methods began to be implemented as early as two years ago, and after many improvements and adjustments, the artillery units already have a very mature and perfect surveying and mapping operation system. To some extent, it even surpassed the level of the Japanese army, and it was a bit like the king of later generations.

"Attention artillery platoons! Enemy troops stand in front of you, give the direction of shooting! Ruler 880 to the left 120 high and low 38 degrees! Charge No. 1! Instantaneous fuse! Ready to load! ”

"Report, a row is loaded!"

"The second row is loaded!"

……

"Ready, put!"

Boom Boom Boom ...... A full thirty-six artillery pieces were fired at once, and dozens of fire dragons streaked across the sky, covering the Japanese military station in an instant. The materials piled up in the tent and the Japanese soldiers guarding them were all torn to shreds, and then flew into the air. This kind of intensive bombardment immediately stunned Battalion Commander Huang and them.

A soldier was stupidly looking at the tragic scene in front of him, when he suddenly felt a cold on his nose, and hurriedly reached out to touch it, but it was not any liquid spilled from the sky, and he couldn't help but wipe it on the ground in disgust.

"Battalion commander, why don't we also shoot two shots!"

Battalion Commander Huang said happily: "Forget it, don't waste shells!" The number of people in each squad was counted and prepared for retreat. ”

"Wait a minute, battalion commander, I have an idea."

"What an idea, say it quickly!"

"Battalion commander, you said that this round of bombing is over, will the little devil send someone to the scene to check?"

Camp Commander Huang said angrily: "You still need to ask, it will definitely be!" ”

"Are we ...... then?"

Camp Commander Huang happily patted the guy and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I like this idea." Do you want to do it, brethren? ”

Everyone lowered their voices and said, "Think, fuck it!" ”

"Well done, brethren. From now on, everyone immediately starts to hide. I guess the little devil won't be here until tomorrow morning, so we'll have to spend a lot of time. Whoever wants to feel that they can't hold it, bring it up immediately, don't shout in the middle of the stomach. ”

……

At noon the next day, Okamura Ninji and Yamashita Fumimasa were drinking sake and playing Go. The two talked and laughed, and they didn't take this battle seriously.

A staff officer suddenly hurried to the door and saluted: "Your Excellency, commander, there is an urgent telegram from the front!" ”

Okamura Ninji pressed down on a chess piece and said without raising his head: "Read!" ”

"Hello!" The staff officer bowed and read: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Major General Tanaka Ken unfortunately died in battle near Momozuka Village in Gaoyang County this morning......"

Yamashita Fengwen stood up in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Nani! Hasn't Gaoyang County already been occupied by our army, and how did Tanaka-kun die? ”

……

To the east of Baizuka Village, a bush suddenly moved, revealing an excited face of Camp Commander Huang: "Rub, blow up a big official from the devil, it's worth it!" Quick, get out! The fighters shouted excitedly and quickly disappeared into the field after the battalion commander. Hearing the news, the Japanese soldiers who chased after them only picked up a bunch of shell shells, and they were so angry that they screamed. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, I debated with someone today and it turned out to be late. Alas, the mountain people will never do such a meaningless thing again, they are boring.
