The troops of the 31st Brigade, whether it was the 62nd Regiment or the battalion directly under it, did not suffer much losses in the battle to capture Meilankou, compared to the mountains of captured materials, the large number of killings produced by such a small number of casualties among the brothers was what Mei Chunhua was happy about.

"Brigade commander, it is estimated that the devils will be killed in about 3,000 people, and the 62nd Regiment will suffer more than 800 casualties. Too many supplies have been seized, and the brothers are still cleaning them up. ”

Yin Zuogan, who was covered in gunpowder, returned to the temporary brigade headquarters and wanted Mei Chunhua to report the situation.

"So smooth?"

"Sending a report to the division headquarters, the army headquarters, and the theater of operations, our 31st Brigade launched a battle at dusk, lasted six hours, killed more than 3,000 enemies, and completely captured the Meilankou area, and is now reorganizing the defensive line; A list of meritorious service personnel will be attached later. ”

Mei Chunhua kept pacing, but Mei Lankou was won, no matter what, this great achievement is now under the 31st Brigade.

"Yes!"

After saluting, the communications staff officer left with a smile on his face.

"Brigade Commander, what method did Battalion Commander Feng use? In this battle, even if the soldiers of the 62nd Regiment were brave, they only had merit in capturing the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and the rest, without the 62nd Regiment, would have been like this; I suggest giving the first credit to Feng Yi! ”

Yin Zuogan smiled bitterly, of course he wanted this merit, in this way, maybe he could be promoted to major general brigade commander, this great achievement was enough for him to be promoted from colonel to major general.

"Feng Yi said that it has nothing to do with him, he is attacking with you; Is that the case? ”

Mei Chunhua asked.

"When I came, it was true that he was already hiding in front of the line, but I didn't know what he had done before that; Brigadier Commander, please take a step to speak. ”

Yin Zuogan pointed around, there were too many people, and he couldn't say some things.

"Huh? Okay, let's go out for a walk! ”

Mei Chunhua nodded, he was now desperate to know what was going on.

"Got one?"

Mei Chunhua handed Yin Zuogan a cigarette, Yin Zuogan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he seemed to still have that kind of smell in his nose now, and he didn't dare to accept it.

"What's wrong?"

Mei Chunhua clicked on it herself, took a sip and asked.

"After the attack on the devil's barracks, the brothers found something while cleaning the battlefield."

Yin Zuogan didn't know what to say, and expressed it euphemistically.

"What's that? It can't be a gas bomb! ”

Mei Chunhua asked.

"That's it, but it's all been fired, walking in the barracks and in the field, there are a lot of them, stuck in the dirt, and all the things in it have been volatilized, I guess the devil has hit that thing."

Yin Zuogan whispered, and then kept looking around, fortunately, there was no one in sight, in fact, the two chiefs spoke, without greeting, and ordinary people did not dare to come over.

"Even if a devil officer is a pig, he can't put this thing in his barracks; You said it was put by Feng Yi? But what did he come from? ”

Mei Chunhua asked.

Yin Zuogan shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

"Let's go, let's ......"

Mei Chunhua took two puffs of cigarette, his frowning brows gradually relaxed, he remembered that when Feng Yi came back from Dahuo, he had reported to him, saying that a batch of devils' equipment had been seized, and this thing would not have been seized at that time! But how far did the devil go deep into the battle line with these things? What are their intentions?

"Continue more than ten kilometers to the west is the mouth of the lake, and the devil wants to sneak attack the mouth of the lake."

Mei Chunhua muttered and let out a sigh of relief, what he couldn't understand was why Feng Ye didn't want to admit it?

"Save the Hukou crisis, stick to Tangshan, and capture Meilankou!"

Mei Chunhua continued to mutter, he felt more and more that Feng Ye had done a lot of things within his authority that were enough to affect the battle situation.

"Clean up the bodies of those special bombs and find a place to bury them, but don't bury them all, leave a dozen of them, and let the sappers pack them and ship them back, this is evidence of the devil's use of poison gas bombs in China, and I will submit them to the Military Commission."

Mei Chunhua finally spoke and gave an order to Yin Zuogan.

"Yes!"

"But ......"

Yin Zuogan wanted to say, it's impossible for these devils to get a guy for themselves!

"It's nothing, that's what the devil put it. The first merit of this battle was you and the 62nd Regiment, and the second attack was Feng Yi and his direct battalion. ”

Mei Chunhua waved his hand, he now somewhat understood why Feng Ye was reluctant to admit it, he was afraid of being used as a scapegoat, but now he didn't want his brother to suffer.

"If you want to be promoted to Major General Brigade Commander safely, this is the result. Remember! ”

Mei Chunhua patted Yin Zuogan on the shoulder, and then walked away alone, as a person who has been in the military and political circles for so long, Mei Chunhua knows that let alone Feng Yi, even he can't afford to take the responsibility of releasing that thing, and the pressure of the European and American powers can't even stop the Military Commission.

The 31st Brigade took Meilankou, and the 106th Division of the Devil soon knew, in order to prevent being attacked from both sides, the 123rd Wing of the Devil Japanese Army opposite the 33rd Brigade was ordered to retreat, and the Devil was stunned by this wave of night battles of the ** squadron, they didn't know what means the ** squadron used, and in just a few hours, almost one wing was annihilated.

The main force of the 33rd Brigade, under the command of Ye Peigao and Wang Yan, seized the weak link of the devil, took the opportunity to smash the Japanese 123rd Wing Headquarters, wounded its wing commander Kijima Daisa, killed 87 people under Fujita Shaosa, and destroyed the position of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Mountain Artillery.

The wing captain who fled back in embarrassment reported the entire battle situation, and in the face of accusations, the devil's poison gas captain could not speak, he did not expect that all the poison gas bombs of that squadron were captured by the Chinese and used on the heads of the Japanese army themselves.

"Don't argue, I order the 136th Brigade to launch an attack on the position of the 11th Division with the 106th Field Artillery Wing, the 12th Independent Mountain Artillery Wing, and the 106th Engineer Wing, and surround and annihilate the Chinese's elite 11th Division before dawn."

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura slapped the table and told Kendai Iino to stop, the 111th Brigade is basically crippled now, they were originally based on the 113th Wing as the main force, and the 147th Wing has not had time to replenish the troops lost in the security operation, and now there are only half of the soldiers; Fortunately, the combat strength of the 136th Brigade was still there, and with the Ueno Artillery and Mountain Artillery units, he believed that the 11th Division, which hastily occupied the Meilankou area, would either withdraw or be wiped out.

Similarly, the 33rd Brigade and the 31st Brigade met in the Meilankou area, and the forward command post was set up in a large tent, which was left by the 113th Wing, and it was only fitting that it could be used as a forward command post.

"In view of the special terrain of the Meilankou area, it is useless to hold on to this area, and the war zone and the military headquarters mean that the 11th Division will clench into a fist and continue to attack the devils in the direction of Longtan Mountain; Moreover, just now the division headquarters has ordered the 61st Regiment to immediately change its guard, and it will arrive here in two hours at most. ”

Ye Peigao slapped the map on the table, and in the dim candlelight around him, the three regiment commanders and two brigade commanders stood beside the table in unison, waiting for Ye Peigao to give the next combat order.

"There are still two hours before the early morning, and the 16th Division should be here soon; The troops were ordered to seize the time to rest and eat; Two hours later, we handed over our positions and continued our assault on Longtan Mountain. ”

Mei Chunhua slapped the map, and the attack power displayed by the two brigades tonight gave him great confidence.
