Li Yunlong said: "Three days is not enough? ”

Ding Wei also said: "Yes, if the offensive cluster of the Mongolian army wants to attack Datong with the reinforcement cluster of the North China Front, it must disengage from the Sui army, once the two sides are disengaged, the Sui army only needs one day to re-complete the defensive deployment, and three days is even enough to build a complete trench fortification chain." ”

Li Yunlong said: "If you want to replace our three detachments, three days is enough time to build a fortress." ”

Ding Wei said with a sigh: "It seems that the three of you are doing it, our first team and Lao Kong's second team are not vegetarians." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yunlong grinned and said, "All three of us can do it." ”

"Commander Ding, and regimental commander, you are talking about infantry fortifications." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "The fortifications that took three days to build are enough to resist the devil's infantry, but it is far from enough to resist the devil's armored troops, especially the formed armored divisions. ”

The Mongolian army now has an armored division!

And according to the information provided by the underground party, this armored division has more than 300 tanks.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei had never seen the powerful penetration capability of a formed tank division, so they lacked a clear concept of tank fortifications, and felt that fortifications that could block infantry assaults could also block tank assaults, but in fact such an idea was very dangerous, and it would be fatal at a critical moment.

"Panzer divisions? You mean tanks? Li Yunlong said, "The devil's tank is not a big deal, isn't it easy to solve it with a few Molotov cocktails?" ”

"Commander, that's a small-scale armored force, and it has to be in the right terrain."

Wang Ye said with a smile: "The assault of large-scale armored forces is another matter entirely, you might as well imagine that more than two hundred or even three hundred tanks are lined up in several horizontal formations, pushing all the way over, how to resist?" Before our infantry could rush forward, they were beaten into a bloody sieve by the heavy machine guns on board. ”

Large-scale clusters of tanks can form effective protection against each other.

And behind the tank cluster, there will definitely be devil infantry to follow.

At this time, it would be naïve to fantasize about being able to rely on Molotov cocktails and explosives packs to disintegrate the assault of armored troops, but to the extreme.

Ding Wei said: "Xiao Wang, is it really so terrifying for a large-scale armored force assault?" ”

"Really." Wang Ye nodded, and said very seriously, "A large-scale armored force launching an assault is really a torrent of steel, and the flesh and blood are absolutely unstoppable." ”

Seeing Wang Ye so cautious, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong couldn't help but believe it.

The brigade commander also believed it, because Wang Ye has rarely said anything so far.

At that moment, the brigade commander said: "Then what should I do?" You can't help it at all, right? ”

"Of course there are solutions." Wang Ye said, "The simplest and most direct way is to organize armored clusters of the same size or even larger, and launch-for-tat assaults. ”

"But this method is definitely not negotiable for us in China."

"So we had to resort to another method, which was to dig a wide trench and build anti-tank cones with ash."

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "The tank can easily cross the infantry trench, but the wide trench with a width of more than three meters cannot be crossed, and the anti-tank cone cast by the ash can also make the tank's track suspended, thus losing its mobility, but the amount of work to dig the wide trench is far more than that of the ordinary infantry trench, and the casting of the anti-tank cone requires ash, and it needs a lot of ash, Wuyuan definitely does not have so many ash reserves, and it must be urgently transferred from Guanzhong or Gan Ningqing, but this takes time, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least ten days. Or even longer! ”

Ding Wei said: "To put it this way, three days is really not enough. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Then what should I do?" Or give Liang Gang a wake-up call? ”

Kong Jie said: "How to remind? Tell him to hold Datong at all costs for at least ten days or more? If we really say that, Liang Gang still has to turn his face with us? ”

Kong Jieyan was unintentional, but Wang Ye's heart moved when he heard it.

At that moment, Wang Ye said: "Maybe we don't need to remind Liang Gang." ”

"What do you mean?" Ding Wei said, "You mean that someone else will remind him?" ”

While a few people were talking, a communication soldier walked in with a telegram and handed it to Wang Ye with both hands.

After reading it, Wang Ye said: "Look, let me say it, Chang Kaishen gave Liang Gang a death order, asking the 94th Brigade of the Central Army to hold Datong for 10 days at all costs, and also ordered my Northwest Jin Column to cooperate from the flank. ”

Kong Jie said: "Do you really ask the 94th Brigade to defend Datong for ten days? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to send them to death? ”

"This kind of thing is nothing to Chang Kaishen." The brigade commander snorted, "That's what he's always done. ”

"But we can't watch the Japanese army eat the 94th Brigade of the Central Army." Ding Wei said in a deep voice, "Because the Japanese army has eaten the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, it will be our turn to advance the Northwest Column." ”

"Yes, if the lips die, the teeth are cold, and we can't see death without help." The brigade commander said, "This favor must be helped." ”

"The question is how to help?" Wang Ye said, "With the fortifications of the fortress, we can inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese army, but if we abandon the preset fortifications and go to the Japanese-occupied area to fight a field battle with the devil's heavy army group, it will be an egg hitting a stone, and our Northwest Column of Jin Province cannot do such a stupid thing." ”

Li Yunlong suddenly said: "Why don't you fight Taiyuan again?" ”

"That's a good idea." Ding Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "At present, the defenders of Taiyuan have only one wing, and we have a precedent of capturing Taiyuan, even if we only need to act like this, we can arouse the 120,000 vigilance of the devils, and then the Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops to reinforce Taiyuan, so there will be fewer reinforcements sent to Datong." ”

The brigade commander said with a final word: "That's it, three dozen Taiyuan!" ”

……

About three hours later.

"What, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is heading south?" Okamura Ninji looked at Seizo with a shocked expression, which was really a bit unexpected for him.

It's only been half a month, and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has recovered?

And then accumulate war materials to launch another wave of large-scale offensives?

Could it be that the 386th Brigade has really built an arsenal and put it into production?

But Okamura Ninji was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Has the situation been verified?" ”

"Hello." "The 9th Flying Squadron of the First Army has sent reconnaissance planes to verify that at least 20,000 of the 8th Route Army are marching south along the Tongpu Highway, and there are still a large number of mules and horses in the queue, and the materials carried on horseback are not only ammunition boxes, but also mountain artillery and infantry artillery parts. ”

"Damn, so the 386th Brigade really wants to fight Taiyuan!" Okamura Ningji said hatefully, "They must be in order to deal with the 94th Brigade of the Central Army in Datong and buy time for the Sui Army to deploy defenses." ”

Youmojing said in a deep voice: "Even if this is the case, I'm afraid we can't afford to ignore it." ”

"Of course, you can't take it lightly." Okamura Ninji said solemnly, "We must not take the 386th Brigade lightly. ”

After a pause, Okamura Ningji said with a dark face: "In this way, the personnel and equipment of the 28th Division don't need to get off the train, just send the four military trains to Taiyuan and get off again!" ”

"Hello."

……

At this time, Liang Gang had already led the main force of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army to Datong City, and Duan Rongqing and Liang Jun hurriedly came to the south gate with guards to meet Liang Gang.

"Brigade." Duan Rongqing and Liang Jun saluted.

It can be seen that Duan Rongqing and Liang Jun are a little proud.

This is also human nature, after all, capturing a big city at a very small price, and completely annihilating one of the devil's infantry brigades, this is a big victory anyway.

Liang Gang returned the military salute and asked, "How are the casualties of the troops?" ”

"The casualties of the troops are not large." Duan Rongqing said, "As soon as the battle started, the Jiaolong squadron eliminated the command of the devils, and the next battle was much easier, that is, when the hundreds of devils who were hiding in the two courtyards and resisting stubbornly were finally eliminated, some casualties were paid, but the problem was not big." ”

Liang Gang asked again: "How much has been seized?" ”

Duan Rongqing said: "There are a lot of weapons, but not a lot of ammunition. ”

Liang Gang sighed lightly when he heard this, it seems that the army stationed in Mongolia is not rich.

Duan Rongqing said again: "Brigade seat, I estimate that the devil reinforcements stationed in Mongolia and Beiping are about to arrive, why don't you withdraw?" ”

"Withdraw?" Liang Gang said coldly, "Who told you to withdraw?" On my orders, the 2nd Regiment controlled the East City and the South City, the 3rd Regiment controlled the West City and the North City, and the Artillery Regiment relied on several main streets and alleys to build artillery fortifications. ”

"Yes!" Several heralds agreed, and immediately sped away.

"Huh?" Duan Rongqing and Liang Jun were stunned, what was the situation? Is this to stick to Datong?

Liang Gang's eyes fell on Duan Rongqing, and he said: "As a reserve, a regiment is stationed in the central city with the brigade headquarters, ready to support any direction where danger occurs. ”

"Yes." Duan Rongqing agreed, and said, "Brigade seat, don't defend the city walls and outer positions?" ”

"No." Liang Gang sighed lightly and said, "There is no way to defend it, because our firepower is too weak, and defending the outer positions and city walls is just sending them to death. ”

"Huh? Ten days?! ”

Duan Rongqing was stupid.

Liang Gang didn't pay any attention to Duan Rongqing, and said to Zhu Jiahua: "Chief of Staff, immediately organize the people to transfer, after this big battle, most of Datong City will be in ruins, and I don't want the people to bury the city." ”

"Yes." Zhu Jiahua agreed, and immediately went to organize the transfer of the people of Datong.

Liang Gang climbed the south gate of Datong alone, looking at the direction of Chongqing for a long time and was silent.

……

Chongqing, Huangshan Mansion Yunxiu Lou Study.

Chen Bui respectfully reported: "Commission, the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qingdao have collected all the ash in stock, totaling about 200 tons!" ”

Chang Kaishen frowned and said, "Only two hundred tons? ”

"Yes, only two hundred tons were collected." Chen Bui whispered, "Actually, even if you can collect more ashes, you can't transfer them to Wuyuan in time, because you can't collect enough big trucks. ”

Chang Kaishen said in a deep voice: "If you can't collect trucks, you can collect cars and side three-wheelers." ”

After a pause, he said: "In short, we must send the ashes to Wuyuan at all costs!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Bui complimented, and when he turned around to leave, he was stopped by Chang Kaishen again.

"Hikoji." Chang Kaishen turned his head to look in the direction of Datong and said faintly, "At this time, the offensive cluster of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia and the reinforcements of the North China Front should be about to arrive in Datong, right?" ”

Chen Bui bowed his head and said: "Judging from the time, it should be fast." ”

……

It was getting dark.

Most of the people in Datong City have been transferred.

The rest of them refused to leave, and Liang Gang didn't want to force them.

Unless the devils are so mad that they go to the city to shoot mustard gas bombs, as long as the people hide in the cellars, their lives are generally not in danger, after all, Datong has been occupied by the devils for several years, and the devils should not engage in massacres after breaking the city, after all, this is contrary to the three noes policy formulated by Okamura Ningji.

Liang Gang, accompanied by Zhu Jiahua, Duan Rongqing and others, boarded the north gate of Datong.

Zhu Jiahua whispered: "Brigade seat, the 1st Division that came to reinforce from Beiping was blocked by the Jinchaji Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army stationed at the junction of Datong in Yingxian County was also entangled by the 386th Brigade, only the Mongolian army attack cluster that returned from Wuyuan to the division, although the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army was also fully blocked, but because the plain terrain was all along the way, it still couldn't be delayed for too long. ”

Liang Gang nodded, and asked again: "How many troops does the Mongolian army attack cluster have?" ”

Zhu Jiahua said in a deep voice: "According to the information provided by the Sui Army before, the offensive cluster of the Mongolian army consists of a chariot division, an infantry division and two cavalry divisions of the puppet Mongolian army, about 50,000 people. ”

After a pause, he said: "It has more than 1,500 vehicles of various kinds, about 300 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 100 artillery pieces of various kinds, and light and heavy machine guns. ”

Hearing this, Duan Rongqing and the others' hearts sank.

Even if there was no reinforcement of the 1st Division from Beiping, the attack cluster of the Mongolian army alone was enough to crush their 94th Brigade into powder, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Duan Rongqing turned his gaze to Liang Gang, because it was too dark to see Liang Gang's expression.

At this time, Liang Gang suddenly said, "They are here." ”

Duan Rongqing subconsciously asked, "Who is here?" ”

Liang Gang said: "Garrison Mongolian troops." ”

Duan Rongqing asked again, "How many came?" ”

As he spoke, Duan Rongqing looked out into the wilderness ahead.

Liang Gang said faintly: "It's all here, the entire attack cluster of the Mongolian army is here." ”

With Liang Gang's words, a faint light appeared under the dark night sky in front of him, and then this light point turned into a band of light, and then the band of light continued to thicken and extend to both sides.

Eventually, the entire strip of light turned into countless points of light.

Seeing this, Duan Rongqing, Zhu Jiahua and others couldn't help but gasp.

Because every point of light under the night sky ahead means a car or a tank.

In the blink of an eye, dense points of light were already covered with the black earth like a curtain, sweeping towards Datong like mercury.

Liang Gang looked back leisurely, and his eyes fell on Liang Jun.

Liang Jun immediately took a step forward and looked at Liang Gang with burning eyes.

Liang Gang smiled and said, "Liang Jun, the Japanese army is a guest from afar, don't forget to give the meeting gift prepared by your Jiaolong squadron to the little devil." ”

……

On an armored command vehicle.

The commander of the 26th Division, Kanshiro Shibayama, and the commander of the 3rd Tank Division, Kazusaku Nishihara, sat opposite each other.

Shibayama Kanshiro glanced out of the car window and said loudly: "Nishihara-kun, Datong is not far ahead, shall we rest for the night first, or will we attack immediately?" ”

Tanks and armored vehicles are so noisy that there is simply no way to communicate if they don't speak loudly.

Nishihara Yice said loudly: "The loss of Datong is a shame for our army in Mongolia, Your Excellency the commander must be very angry at this time, so in order to wash away the shame imposed on us by the central army, I think it is better to recapture Datong as soon as possible, what do you say?" ”

Shibayama Kaneshiro said, "Just listen to you, let's attack overnight." ”

"Yo Si." Nishihara Kazusei nodded happily, and said loudly to the chief of staff of the 3rd Tank Division, Katsuji Satake, "Order, the 3rd Mobile Artillery Wing, the Rapid-Fire Artillery Brigade, and the 26th Mountain Artillery Wing to immediately deploy on the spot, and the 5th Tank Brigade, the 6th Tank Brigade, and the 3rd Motorized Infantry Wing are ready to attack." ”

"Hello!" Satake Katsuji shook his head and said, "Division commander, do you need to use poison gas bombs?" ”

Nishihara Kazuse hesitated, shook his head and said, "Datong is a security area, so it's better not to use poison gas bombs for the time being." ”

"Hello!" Katsuji Satake pauses again, then opens the window, beckons a side three-wheeler to come up, and then conveys Nishihara's order to the herald on the motorcycle.

Nishihara's order was quickly conveyed to the various wings.

In less than half an hour, two artillery wings and a rapid-fire artillery team had already set up artillery positions, and rows of gun barrels were pointing diagonally in the direction of Datong.

Two tank brigades and more than 200 Type 97 or Type 95 tanks were also set up in various offensive formations in the wilderness, and behind the Japanese tank clusters were the black and suppressed devil infantry.

Under the illumination of the headlights, you can clearly see the steel torrent of the Japanese army.

Looking at the torrent of steel spreading out in the wilderness, Nishihara Kazuce only felt his blood boiling.

Katsuji Satake handed the flare gun to Ichisaku Nishihara and said, "Division commander, please give the order." ”

Nishihara Kazuce took the flare gun, and when the muzzle of the gun was facing the sky and was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly heard a boom in his ears, and even though he felt that the whole person was flying, he flew into the sky at once.

What's going on? Nishihara Kazuse was a little confused.

Looking down from the air, he saw that the place where he had just stood had bloomed with a dazzling red light.

Baga, I've been hit by the shells of the Chinese army? Or is it a mine? Before Nishihara could finish his thoughts, his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
