After more than six hours of rapid marching, the northwest column of Shanxi finally arrived at the pig-killing mouth more than 40 kilometers away, and it was already more than one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

A reconnaissance team led by Duan Peng had been waiting for more than an hour at the mouth of the pig.

"Captain, Commander." Duan Peng saluted Wang Ye and the brigade commander respectively, and said, "The monk and another reconnaissance team are monitoring the devils going north in Taiyuan. ”

After Wang Ye found out that the modern horn was not practical, he simply ignored his position, and the entire special operations brigade was commensurate with its nickname or name, regardless of its position.

The only exception is Wang Ye.

For Wang Ye, including Wei Dayong, they are all commensurate with captains.

At first, Wang Ye tried to correct it, but after a few corrections had no effect, he didn't bother to correct it, no matter what the team members called, anyway, he was not afraid of the devil's beheading.

However, the other members of the team are always referred to each other by nicknames or names.

Wang Ye nodded and asked, "When was the last time you were in contact?" ”

"Ten minutes ago." Duan Peng said, "According to the latest information provided by the monk, the Japanese army going north has already passed through Wangjiayu, and it is still seven or eight kilometers away from here. ”

"It's just in time!" Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The brigade commander even directly issued an order: "Pass on my order, all infantry regiments immediately seize the commanding heights on both sides of the road, the artillery regiment will step up the construction of artillery positions, and the cavalry regiment will find a place to rest and recuperate." ”

Several of the communicators at the headquarters responded yes and left separately.

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander with blank eyes.

This time, the main force went south, and Kong Jie was left in Anhua by the brigade commander to contain the devils.

Because the most important thing to fight such a battle is execution, Kong Jie is the most suitable.

"What, have you ever thought about the addiction of commanding?" The brigade commander's gaze swept over the faces of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and asked with a smile.

"Brigade commander, forget it." Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "He has already fought two battles in Zhanggezhuang and Chenzhuang, and he has already been addicted to it, so leave the battle of killing the pig's mouth to me." ”

"Why should I forget it?" Ding Wei can let other things, but he doesn't want to let this thing go.

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "Brigade commander, let me tell you the truth, the battle of Zhanggezhuang was okay, but the battle of Chenzhuang was not ideal, and I have already gained some experience after these two battles, so I believe that if the brigade commander still hands over this battle to me to command, then I will definitely be able to perform better!" ”

"Lao Ding, you're not interesting enough." Li Yunlong was immediately anxious when he heard this, "Can't all good things be done to you, it's also our turn to try it, right?" ”

That is, Ding Wei, if it were to be replaced by Cheng Shifa, Li Yunlong would have scolded his mother directly.

For Ding Wei, Li Yunlong is still very restrained, even if he scares people, he also leaves room for others.

Ding Wei said without giving an inch: "Lao Li, I really don't want to fight with you, I really have some ideas in my heart, I want to verify it through this battle, next time, I will let you when I have the opportunity next time, okay?" ”

"Pull it down, next time." Li Yunlong said, "I can't meet such a good opportunity once in many years, if I miss today, can I command a real column to fight a big battle with the devil in the Year of the Monkey?" ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Lao Ding, let's count Lao Li begging you, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't fight." The brigade commander snorted and said angrily, "This is a devil, not Tang monk meat, why did you grab it?" ”

His eyes fell on Ding Wei, and the brigade commander said again: "Ding Wei, since you have an idea in your heart, then you still command this battle." ”

"Thank you, Brigadier." Ding Wei snapped upright, raised his hand and saluted, "Brigade commander, please rest assured, in today's battle, I, Ding Wei, must fight at a high level, and we must win the greatest result at the lowest cost!" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." The brigade commander nodded, and his gaze turned to Li Yunlong again.

I saw that Li Yunlong had turned his gaze to the wilderness on one side, and he was sulking with his mouth flat.

The brigade commander was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong, look at your little bit of interest, which one is in a hurry?" ”

"Brigade commander, you are a full man, but you don't know that a hungry man is hungry." Li Yunlong said with a dark face, "You are the commander of the two columns of Taiyue and Northwest Jin, and you have the opportunity to command thousands of troops and horses to fight a big battle, but our Lao Li does not have such an opportunity, and finally seized an opportunity, brigade commander, you gave Lao Ding again, alas, I am sad." ”

"Alright." The brigade commander scolded with a smile, "There are so many devils in Shanxi, are you still afraid that there will be no war?" ”

Li Yunlong immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with a flattering face: "Brigade commander, then we have to talk about it in advance, and let me come anyway when we have a chance next time." ”

"Okay." The brigade commander said, "Next time to you." ”

After a pause, the brigade commander turned his head and asked Ding Wei: "Ding Wei, now you can say, how are you going to fight this battle?" ”

The expression on Ding Wei's face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Brigade commander, after two battles in Zhanggezhuang and Chenzhuang, I found that although the quality of the devil's soldiers has declined to a certain extent, the frontal attack is still quite powerful. ”

"So what?" The brigade commander said thoughtfully, "You plan to avoid the front?" ”

"Yes, in fact, we don't need to be tough with the devil at all." Ding Wei nodded and said, "We can take advantage of the weakness of the devils who are eager to reinforce Anhua, let go of their forward troops, focus on their rearguard troops, and then force their forward troops to turn back to rescue, at this time the devil's formation will be completely chaotic, and the ideology will also fall into chaos, so that we can avoid the devil's edge and greatly reduce our own casualties." ”

"Hmm." The brigade commander thought so.

Ding Wei is already a little interesting.

……

Almost at the same time, the 94th Brigade of the Central Army also went to Wild Boar Gully.

It has to be said that the officers who have come out of the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy are still very good at leading troops, and not to mention the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, at least the ability to march long distances is not lost to that of the Eighth Route Army.

Because the distance from Fu'an County to Wild Boar Ditch is about the same as from Anhua to Killing Pig.

"Brigade Seat." Zhu Jiahua put his hands on his knees and gasped, "How to fight this battle?" ”

Liang Gang's physical fitness is much better than Zhu Jiahua's, although he is also sweating profusely, but at least he is not panting.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Liang Gang said: "The equipment of our 94th Brigade still cannot be compared with the Japanese army. ”

"I agree." Guo Guanying said, "Hard work will definitely cause heavy casualties." ”

Liang Gang said: "Therefore, we must adapt measures to local conditions, the situation, and the enemy. ”

"Adapting to local conditions? Adapting to the situation? Adapting to the enemy's conditions? Guo Guanying said confusedly, "Brigade, I understand the meaning of adapting measures to local conditions, that is, to make rational use of the terrain, and I also understand that to take measures according to the situation, that is, to make reasonable use of the situation, but what does it mean to adapt measures to the enemy's conditions?" I really can't think of it. ”

Zhu Jiahua said thoughtfully: "Brigade seat, does it mean taking advantage of the enemy's weakness?" ”

"Yes, it's to take advantage of the enemy's weakness." Liang Gang smiled slightly, and said, "For example, the devils who went south from Datong, their weakness is that they are in a hurry to go to Anhua. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Gang's expression sank, and he said with a sad face: "In the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, do you still remember how our Central Army lost? ”

"Remember, I will never forget it in my life." Zhu Jiahua said solemnly, "We are too anxious. ”

"Yes, our troops are advancing too fast in street fighting." Guo Guanying said with a dark face, "So much so that there was a disconnect between the infantry and the armored troops, and as a result, the Japanese army had an opportunity!" ”

Liang Gang said: "So, do you know how to deal with devils?" ”

"Got it." Guo Guanying nodded and said, "Let go of their forward infantry and hit their rearguard baggage." ”

Zhu Jiahua said with some worry: "But the brigade seat, will the devil's forward infantry simply go south to attack Anhua County lightly?" Wouldn't we be dishonest with the Eight Roads? ”

"No, it won't." Liang Gang said abruptly, "The devil striker doesn't dare to travel south. ”

After a pause, he said: "In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi is no longer the Eighth Route Army of two years ago, if the forward infantry of the devils dares to go south lightly, they will definitely be gnawed by the Eighth Route Army to the point that there is no scum left." ”

……

In the mouth of the pig killed.

At two o'clock in the morning, the devil forward, who went north to reinforce, finally arrived to kill the pig.

At least a thousand devils lined up in four columns, running along the road, and the neat footsteps of the devils could be heard for several miles.

But the devil is still very cautious.

In addition to having a motorized infantry detachment serving as a spearhead,

On the slopes and ravines on both sides of the road, there are also devil rangers.

But fortunately, the main forces of the Northwest Column of Jin were ambushed two kilometers away, and the devil rangers couldn't find it.

On a hillside two kilometers away, Ding Wei was holding a quadruple military telescope and looking in the direction of the pig-killing mouth, through which he could vaguely see the Japanese army's ranks.

Wang Ye quietly came to Ding Wei's side and reported: "The devil is carrying a sedan array, and the two infantry brigades are carrying the baggage troops and the headquarters in the middle one after the other, and there is no third infantry brigade. ”

"Really? That's good news. Ding Wei groaned and said, "Let go of the infantry brigade in front, the artillery regiment concentrates its firepower to attack the rear guard brigade, and as soon as the artillery regiment's shelling is over, the entire column will launch a general attack!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Let the cavalry regiment prepare for an attack again, once the devil's forward brigade turns around and kills back, immediately attack from behind the devil and defeat the devil's forward brigade in one go!" ”

"Yes!" Several of the communicators said yes and parted ways.

……

Tonight was destined to be a difficult night for the Japanese troops in Anhua City.

In order to create the illusion that the main force of the Northwest Column of the Japanese Army was still in Anhua, Kong Jie's second detachment would organize a wave of attacks from time to time, constantly putting pressure on the Japanese army's peripheral positions.

The Japanese army placed only one infantry brigade in the outer positions, and in the face of the onslaught of the four regiments of the second detachment, the pressure was very great, especially the position at the east gate, which changed hands several times.

There were also a number of white-knuckle fights.

Although they finally held their positions, the old devils and little devils of the 69th Division, including Inoue Sadawei, became more nervous and uneasy.

Igarashi Mei said: "Division commander, from the combat effectiveness shown by the Eighth Route Army in Ping'an County last night, they shouldn't only have this ability, so they must be secretly brewing a bigger offensive." ”

"I completely agree with Igarashi-kun's judgment." Sadao Kato said, "Because the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army did not participate in the offensive from beginning to end, so until now, all the offensives of the Eighth Route Army have only been to paralyze the Imperial Army, make the Imperial Army make a miscalculation and relax its vigilance, and then launch a fatal blow!" ”

"Well, your analysis makes sense." Inoue Sadawei said thoughtfully, "So we must be prepared and order all temporary reserve brigades to be ready to reinforce the outer positions at any time." ”

In addition to an infantry brigade of the 292nd Infantry Wing and two mountain artillery wings,

Inoue Sadawei temporarily organized the remaining more than 4,000 devils into four reserve infantry brigades.

Due to the lack of weaponry, Inoue even requisitioned rifles and light and heavy machine guns from the puppet army.

After a pause, Inoue Zhenwei said again: "By the way, where have the reinforcements from Taiyuan and Datong arrived?" ”

Mei Igarashi sighed lightly and said, "We just contacted the 3rd Wing and the 11th Wing fifteen minutes ago, the 3rd Wing should have reached the pig killing mouth by now, and the 11th Wing should have reached the Wild Boar Gully by now. ”

"Kill the pig's mouth? Wild boar ditch? Inoue's brows immediately frowned, these two place names are a bit fierce?

While thinking about it, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in and reported to the head: "The division commander, I have just received an urgent telegram from the 3rd Wing, saying that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at the mouth of the pig, and they may not be able to arrive at Anhua on time before dawn. ”

Before the words fell, another communication staff officer walked out quickly, and said with a pause: "Division commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the 11th Wing, the Wing was ambushed by the Central Army of China in the Wild Boar Valley, and Fang Shuang is currently in a fierce battle, but it will definitely not be able to reach Anhua County before dawn." ”

Inoue's face fell.

It's really a matter of what you're afraid of.

……

At this time, there was an unnamed valley two kilometers north of the pig killing mouth.

"It's all there, jog!" Sun Desheng gave an order, and the war horse under his crotch began to enter the jogging rhythm, and the more than 300 horsemen accompanying him also accelerated.

The sound of hooves was heard, and there was silence in the direction of the valley mouth ahead.

After a while, Sun Desheng raised his right hand and shouted: "It's all there, run!" ”

With this shout, Sun Desheng clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch instantly took off with four hooves to speed up.

The cavalry accompanying him also increased their speed, and the originally chaotic sound soon converged into the sound of horses' hooves like a drum, beating on the hearts of the cavalry and the horses.

The horses and the cavalry on horseback instantly became excited.

"All of them are ......," Sun Desheng drew his saber and flattened it forward.

In the next moment, Sun Desheng's slightly hoarse voice resounded through the valley: "Charge!" ”

However, no matter how loud Sun Desheng's roar was, it was completely drowned out by the sound of the horse's hooves like a tide, and no warrior could hear his voice at all.

However, it doesn't matter.

Because the soldiers in the front row saw Sun Desun's saber, they immediately followed the charge.

When the cavalry warriors in the back row saw that the soldiers in the front row began to sprint, they also took out their sabers, and then urged their horses to start sprinting.

In less than a moment, the cavalry regiment had completed its acceleration and had also slaughtered itself from the nameless valley.

Out of the valley mouth, is the straight and wide Tongpu highway, the valley direction and the highway is about 30 degrees of angle, Sun Desheng just a little reins of the horse, the crotch of the war horse has turned onto the road, along the highway to the south.

Behind Sun Desheng, the entire cavalry regiment of more than 300 horsemen poured out like a tide.

I saw that fifty meters ahead, the black-pressed devil infantry was marching southward in a hurry.

The sudden thunderous sound of horses' hooves soon caught the attention of these devils.

More and more devils turned their heads and looked at the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared with a look of horror.

"Cavalry!"

"The Chinese cavalry!"

"The Chinese cavalry has been killed!"

"Nomura-kun, organize a defense on the spot!"

"Machine gun crew, hurry up and set up the machine gun!"

"Kasawara-kun, immediately seize the commanding heights on the right side of the highway!"

"Come back, you idiots, bring the heavy machine guns back, quick!"

Suddenly, the thousands of devils who were moving south along the road fell into chaos, and in such a situation, it was difficult for any troops to be calm.

It is even less possible to command like an arm.

But the devil's tactical literacy is really good.

Despite the haste of the change, the vast majority of the devils still responded with their usual training, and at least half of the devils crouched or lay down on the spot, raising their rifles to shoot.

There were even two crooked machine guns erected.

But the Type 92 heavy machine gun was not so fast, it took more time.

However, it was impossible for the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army to give the devils more time.

"Hah!" Sun Desheng roared, and the man had already stood upright from his horse.

The distance of fifty meters is only a few seconds for the cavalry who has completed the acceleration.

In a few seconds, the devil with a quick reaction still had a chance to shoot, and the devil with a slow reaction had just raised his rifle, and the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had already killed.

In the sparse gunfire, several cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army turned over and fell off their horses.

But more cavalry had already rushed into the ranks of the devil infantry.

"Kill!" In the flickering cold light, the snow-bright saber had been wiped like lightning.

But where the cavalry passed, the devil infantry half-crouched on the ground and ready to shoot fell to the ground one by one, and all of these devils were cut by sabers.

The neck is arguably the most vulnerable part of the human body.

It is also the most popular part of the human body for cavalry to attack.

Because of the attack on the neck, you can complete the slashing action with the least amount of physical strength.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army rushed through like a tide, and the devil infantry fell to the ground one by one, and in a blink of an eye, the cavalry wave had already cut through the marching column of the devil infantry, and an infantry brigade full of men had become scattered.
