Chapter 500: Sacrifice

Anhua.

Sadae Inoue has realized the danger.

The First Army stationed in Shanxi has three divisions and two brigades, and now the Third Brigade is far away in Yuncheng, and it is impossible to get out of it at all, and the Fourth Brigade not only has to guard Taiyuan, but also has to guard the Zhengtai Railway, and it is also unable to draw a single soldier, and the only ones who can transfer troops to reinforce their 69th Division are the 36th Division in Changzhi and the 37th Division in Fenyang.

However, the reinforcements of the 36th Division were entangled by the Eighth Route Army in Taihang District, and the reinforcements of the 37th Division were blocked by the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue District on the Shuangqin Highway and could not advance an inch.

For at least three days, their 69th Division received no reinforcements.

Therefore, at least for these three days, their 69th Division can only rely on itself.

Therefore, Inoue Sadawei attached great importance to the defensive deployment of Anhua, and personally took his adjutant and several staff officers to the outer positions for inspection.

"Yaga, the trenches are too shallow!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"This repair is also called a fortification? Refurbished. ”

"Damn, heavy machine-gun positions must be reinforced!"

While inspecting, Inoue Sadae unceremoniously pointed out the deficiencies of the fortifications and ordered the soldiers to improve them, and most of the devil soldiers who received the guidance bowed respectfully.

While I was on patrol, the head of the communications section, Mei Igarashi, came running.

"Division Commander!" Mei Igarashi ran to Inoue Sadawei and said with a dark face, "The main force of the 290th Infantry Wing is surrounded by the heavy group of the Eighth Route Army near Chenzhuang!" ”

"What? Encircled by a heavy army group? ”

Hearing this, Ingoue Sadawei's expression suddenly froze.

"Yes, heavy siege." Mei Igarashi paused and said, "Tanimura-kun, there are at least a dozen regiments and more than 20,000 people in the Eighth Route Army participating in the attack!" ”

"It can't be!" Inoue Zhenwei shouted, "The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin is obviously still in Ping'an County, how can it suddenly appear in Chenzhuang?" ”

Igarashi Mei said: "Division commander, could it be the Eighth Route Army that ambushed the Tokutian United in Zhanggezhuang last night?" ”

"That's not possible." Inoue Zhenwei said, "Although Zhang Gezhuang's Eighth Route Army ate the Tokuda United, but after a fierce battle, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be small, I never believe that they can recover their combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, I never believe that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to fight continuously, this is completely illogical!" ”

According to previous intelligence, the Eighth Route Army hardly had the ability to fight continuously.

Igarashi Mei said: "However, the commander of the division, it is a fact that the Tanimura Wing was heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Not necessarily the truth!" Inoue Zhenwei said, "After all, in addition to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin, there are also their so-called militia, this must be the militia of the Eighth Route Army, a group of rabble, the telegram ordered the Gucun United, don't care, continue to attack and advance in the direction of Anhua!" ”

Igarashi Mei said awe-inspiringly: "Division Commander, this ......"

"It's an order!" Inoue Sadawei snorted coldly and said, "In addition, order the 9th Flying Team to send all the attack planes and fighters to cover the Tanimura Wing to the south." ”

"Hello." Igarashi Meton head.

……

Chen Zhuang, the temporary headquarters of a detachment of the Northwest Column of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Xiaoxian hurriedly walked into the headquarters and reported: "Commander, the attack ahead is not going well. ”

"Expected." Ding Wei said, "After all, this is during the day, and there is still a big difference between fighting at night." ”

Li Xiaoxian said: "Yes, night combat training is the key training subject of our Northwest Column of Shanxi Province, in a sense, our Northwest Column of Shanxi Province can be the best unit in the whole of China at night combat, and the devil does not often conduct night combat training, so in night operations, we can use our own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings." ”

After a pause, he said: "But there is no such advantage in daytime combat, at most it is five or five." ”

"There is no five-five-five." Ding Wei shook his head and said, "In the past two years, although the equipment of our Northwest Column has improved, and the training intensity has also increased, the proficiency in controlling technical equipment such as grenadiers and mortars still cannot be compared with the devils, thanks to our strength is six or seven times that of the devils, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight." ”

Li Xiaoxian turned his head and glanced in the direction of Taiyuan, and said: "Commander, I'm not worried about anything else, I'm worried that the devil's bombers and fighters will come over to join in the fun, after all, it's broad daylight......

Before he finished speaking, the roar of an airplane's engine suddenly sounded in the southeast sky.

", devil plane?" Li Xiaoxian slapped his mouth fiercely, "My crow's mouth." ”

"Pull it down, you summoned it." Ding Wei walked out of the shelter and looked up, and sure enough, he saw that more than a dozen planes had come out of the thin clouds in the southeast.

Without exception, the plaster patterns under the wings of these planes are devil planes.

Judging by the size of the model, three were bombers, and the rest were combat reconnaissance aircraft.

However, even if it is a combat reconnaissance aircraft, it can also carry one or even two aerial bombs under the belly.

At the moment when Ding Wei and Li Xiaoxian were stilting their heads to watch, the two combat reconnaissance planes of the first echelon had already swooped down towards the ground, and when they reached an altitude of about 500 meters, the two aerial bombs broke away from the belly of the plane and roared down.

Immediately afterwards, more devil fighters launched dives one after another, and for a while the screams were endless.

"Fuck." Ding Wei scolded, "The bombing attack against the devil air force is a casualty, and the charge against the devil's machine gun is also a casualty, order the troops to launch a general attack, rush up and get mixed up with the devil!" ”

"Yes!" Several communicators said yes and ran away.

……

Seeing that almost all the rookie pilots hurriedly threw away the bombs from a height of five hundred meters, Toshio Nishizawa couldn't help but shake his head, these guys who had just graduated from aviation school were really timid.

Wouldn't it be possible to lower the flight altitude a little more? Are you so afraid of hitting the ground?

You guys are like this, how dare I leave Shanxi with confidence and go to the Pacific Theater?

Yes, just two days ago, Toshio Nishizawa had already received an order to go to the Pacific theater.

Because the shortage of pilots in the Pacific Theater is getting bigger and bigger, the veteran pilots of the 9th Flying Squadron have almost been emptied, and now it is finally Toshio Nishizawa's turn.

After Toshio Nishizawa was transferred, the 9th Flying Team was left with only a group of rookies.

At that moment, Toshio Nishizawa said to the radio station, "Hey, what are you fools doing?" Throwing a bomb from a height of 500 meters, how to ensure the hit rate? ”

"Do you know how much a bomb costs?"

"If you are as wasteful as you, the empire's finances will have to go bankrupt sooner or later."

After a pause, Toshio Nishizawa said again: "It's all for me, see how I dropped the bomb!" ”

At this point, Toshio Nishizawa pushed the joystick violently, and the Nakajima-Ichi fighter under his crotch immediately dived down to the ground, and the wings swept through the air and instantly let out a whining scream.

Toshio Nishizawa's plane swooped straight down at a great angle.

It was not until it was less than 100 meters from the ground that it was violently lifted, and at the moment of lifting, the 25kg aerial bomb hanging under the belly of the aircraft had fallen off, and the aerial bomb that broke away from the belly immediately turned its head downward, and plunged into the position of the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and then exploded violently, and the air wave generated by the explosion almost caught up with the tail of Toshio Nishizawa's plane, but Toshio Nishizawa's plane finally escaped by a millimeter and successfully pulled up.

"Beautiful!"

"Hooray!"

"Squadron Leader is awesome!"

The communication channel burst into cheers.

It can be heard that these rookie pilots worship Toshio Nishizawa to the core.

After returning to the air, Toshio Nishizawa piloted the landline to make a big circle first, and then said from the communication channel: "Now, I'll show you another dive strafing, look carefully!" ”

The next moment, Toshio Nishizawa dived again.

……

On the ground, four regiments of the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Column and two regiments of the three detachments were attacking the Japanese Tanimura Wing from all directions.

Among those who participated in the attack were the three regiments commanded by Shen Quan.

Toshio Nishizawa just dropped bombs on the sortie positions of the three regiments.

Due to the low altitude of the bomb and the extremely high accuracy, the 25-kilogram bomb just now caused at least more than 10 heavy casualties to the Third Regiment, of which four soldiers died on the spot.

Shen Quan was already on fire in his belly.

Seeing the same fighter swooping down again, Shen Quan was immediately angry.

"Pumpkin!" Shen Quan yelled at his guards, "Give me your submachine gun!" ”

Gu Xiaonan has been following Shen Quan for more than two years, and not long after the independent regiment arrived in Fuliang Mountain, Gu Xiaonan participated in the Eighth Road and soon became Shen Quan's guard.

As soon as Shen Quan stretched out his hand, Gu Xiaonan knew what he wanted to do.

As a guard, Gu Xiaonan naturally would not let the regiment commander take this risk.

At that moment, Gu Xiaonan shouted: "Commander, I'll go!" ”

After that, Gu Xiaonan pulled his legs and ran forward.

In just a moment, Gu Xiaonan came to the front of the devil's plane and waited with bated breath.

……

Although it was more than a thousand meters away, and one was in the sky and the other was underground, Toshio Nishizawa, who was driving the plane to dive, still discovered Gu Xiaonan's existence at a glance.

The reason is very simple, the other Eighth Route Army is either hiding in trenches or foxholes, or is evading in the vertical direction of his dive line, but only this Eighth Route Army does not dodge or run, and stands there straight.

Obviously, this Eighth Route Army can't be stunned there, but it should be trying to play with its life.

Interesting, this is trying to trade life for life with me? Then come on and see who dies in the end?

After realizing this, Toshio Nishizawa was not afraid, but felt extremely excited, and his eyes showed the excitement of a beast.

……

"Da Da Da!"

The devil plane, which swooped down from the sky, was the first to fire.

The dense rain of bullets instantly pulled out two eye-catching smoke and dust bands on the ground, rapidly approaching Gu Xiaonan's location from about fifty meters away.

"Pumpkin, hide!"

"Pumpkin, run!"

"Xiaogu, run!"

Nearby comrades-in-arms reminded loudly.

Gu Xiaonan turned a deaf ear, just held his head high and stared at the devil plane that swooped down.

At a certain moment, when the devil plane finally dived within 100 meters, Gu Xiaonan finally raised the submachine gun, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A dazzling streamer instantly shot towards the devil plane in the sky.

Almost at the same time, one of the smoke and dust belts pulled out by the devil plane on the ground also extended to Gu Xiaonan.

In the next moment, Gu Xiaonan's body shattered all of a sudden, and was smashed alive by the 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun of the Nakajima-1 fighter, it was really shattered!

Almost simultaneously, the cockpit canopy of the Nakajima-Ichi fighter was also pierced.

Toshio Nishizawa, who was trying to pull up, was shot twice, one of which hit the door, and he lost consciousness almost instantly.

The Nakajima-Ichi fighter plane, which had lost control, continued to dive downward under the effect of inertia, and then plunged headlong into the defensive position of the Japanese Tanimura Wing.

"Pumpkin!" Shen Quan let out a roar of regret.

At this time, the order from the headquarters was finally delivered, and a general attack was launched!

Shen Quan immediately roared hoarsely: "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet!" ”

In the next second, the loud charge horn sounded in every corner of the battlefield, and when they heard this loud charge horn, thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army launched a tidal charge with bayonets.

In the blink of an eye, countless Eighth Route Armies flooded into the Japanese army's defensive positions like a tide.

Looking at the soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies who have been completely mixed up and are engaged in white-knuckle combat, the devil air force in the air will lose its target at once, and I don't know what to do?

The large-scale white-knuckle battle on the ground was in full swing.

Although the Eighth Route Army occupies an absolute force ambush, there are more than 2,000 devils who have gone south from Lao County, and they are distributed on the battlefield within a radius of two kilometers, so it is impossible to kill them all so quickly.

The squadron of the Devil Air Force circled in the air for almost half an hour, but it still could not wait for the winner to be decided, so it had no choice but to return home.

However, not long after the return of the Devil Air Force, the victory and defeat were divided on the battlefield of Chenzhuang.

More than 2,000 people of the Japanese Tanimura Wing (lacking an infantry brigade) who went south from Laoxian County were completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, and the wing commander Tanimura Hayabusa was also captured alive by the Eighth Route Army.

……

Heyuan County, Field Hospital.

Finally finished the last operation, Wang Jiazhi went to the courtyard outside to catch her breath.

As a result, I saw a few nurses pulling ropes to dry gauze in the yard, so I hurriedly dissuaded: "Hey, how do you dry gauze in the yard?" Isn't this nonsense? It's going to attract devilish bombers. ”

After a pause, Wang Jiazhi said again: "Dry the gauze in the wilderness outside the city." ”

The two nurses sighed softly and hurriedly took the gauze and went outside the city to dry.

Wang Jiazhi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sit down to take a breath when Secretary Cao of the Heyuan County Party Committee came over.

"Dean Wang." Secretary Cao obviously ran all the way, and he was already out of breath, "Hurry up, you guys hurry up and prepare, the stretcher team of our county party committee is about to arrive at the hospital." ”

Wang Jiazhi said with a grim expression: "Secretary Cao, are there a lot of wounded?" ”

"Many, the casualties in the battle of Chen Zhuang this time are not small." Cao Shufang said distressedly.

While the two were talking, another nurse ran over with a panicked look and shouted: "The dean is not good, the seriously injured person in bed No. 9 in the third ward has been injured repeatedly!" ”

"Three wards?" Wang Jiazhi was stunned when she heard this.

"No, aren't all the wounded in the three wards recovering well?"

"I don't know." The nurse was about to cry profusely, "I was fine when I changed his dressing in the morning, but when I fed him at noon, I suddenly started to vomit blood, and it bubbled out like spring water." ”

"Secretary Cao, our hospital will be ready to pick up people."

Wang Jiazhi said a word to Secretary Cao, and followed the nurse straight to the third ward.

When she arrived at the No. 9 bed in the third ward, Wang Jiazhi saw the other two nurses with gloomy faces, and the other eight wounded people in the same ward who were recuperating were also sad.

Looking at the wounded on the hospital bed again, I saw blood leaking from his mouth and nose, and he had already swallowed his breath.

Wang Jiazhi picked up the small card on the bedside, and saw Gu Xiaoxi written on it.

Looking at this name, Wang Jiazhi immediately recalled that the wounded man was from Gujiayu Village, before the Battle of Northwest Shanxi began, the devil cavalry suddenly invaded Gujiayu, in order to cover the transfer of the old folks in the village into the tunnel, Gujiayu's militia team desperately dragged the devil's cavalry and paid heavy casualties.

This Gu Xiaoxi was injured in that battle.

His spleen removal operation was actually successful, but unfortunately, he still got an infection.

But as long as there is a sulfonamide multi-breath injection, Gu Xiaoxi will definitely not sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiazhi felt heartache and lungs, what a good soldier, he died like this.

It's really a pity, because the hospital doesn't even have a single sulfonamide injection.

According to the organization, many iodolamine reprimitate injections have been purchased from overseas through overseas Chinese in Nanyang, but this batch of sulfonamide reprimitive injections does not know when it will be sent to the northwest of Shanxi.

Sighing lightly, Wang Jiazhi said, "Report it." ”

The nurse in charge of the third ward took the card with tears in her eyes.

He also filled in Gu Xiaoxi's name on the list of the dead.

……

Heyuan County, the headquarters of the Northwest Column of Jin.

The news of the total annihilation of the Japanese army Tanimura Wing and the capture of the wing leader Tanimura Hayabusa has come back, and according to Ding Weizheng, he is personally escorting Tanimura Hayabusa to the county seat.

So the brigade commander and Li Yunlong are very happy now.

Although their 386th Brigade had already captured a general of the devil alive,

But this time, it is still very happy to be able to capture another devil Dazuo alive.

However, the brigade commander still turned over Wang Ye's old accounts, if it weren't for Wang Ye's thirst for killing, their 386th Brigade would have captured more than five generals alive, so why would it be a treasure to capture a Dazuo Wing Captain alive now.

Zhao Gang was also happy, but when he opened the list of the dead submitted by the Political Department, he was in a heavy mood.

The casualty figure in the Battle of Zhanggezhuang is actually very small, and the annihilation of so many devils only killed and injured less than 500 people, in fact, it is already very commendable.

The casualty figure in the Battle of Ping'an County was much greater.

At the end of the battle, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, of which more than 500 were killed.

But this is nothing compared to the Battle of Chenzhuang, because the Battle of Chenzhuang suffered more than 4,000 casualties, of which more than 1,000 were killed, and this casualty can be very heavy.

Flipping through the list of the dead, Zhao Gang was suddenly stunned.

Then he flipped it back again, and then pulled out the two dead lists side by side, and the two names on the two lists immediately caught Zhao Gang's attention.
