On Mawu Mountain.

Wang Ye, Wei Dayong, and Fan Guanyu were closely watching the movements in Datong City through binoculars.

At about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the originally dark and dead silence of Datong City suddenly resounded with dense gunfire and explosions, as well as the red light produced by the explosion.

As soon as you look at this movement, you know that it is the devil tank firing guns.

"Captain, the devil is attacking again." Wei Dayong said, "This should be the last attack." ”

Wang Ye was silent, holding the telescope with both hands and looking at the Datong city that was burning in the flames of war.

Although they are separated by at least ten kilometers, because there is no shelter in the middle, you can clearly see the red light blooming in Datong City, and you can also hear the faint sound of gunfire.

The sound of gunfire continued for half an hour and gradually thinned out.

Then, calm returned to Datong City, and the fire gradually went out.

Wang Ye raised his wrist and looked at the Panerai luminous watch, but saw that the hour hand could point to zero.

A new day has arrived, and in a few hours, the sun will rise again in the east, and the whole world will once again wake up from its slumber, but the more than 7,000 officers and men of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, including Liang Gang, will never wake up again, and they will sleep in Datong forever.

Wang Ye couldn't help but sing one of his favorite songs.

"Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back, do you understand, do you understand?"

"Maybe I will fall and will never get up again, do you still have to wait, forever?"

"Maybe I can't open my eyes again, do you understand, my silent feelings?"

"Maybe I will sleep forever and never wake up again, do you believe that I have turned into a mountain?"

Singing and singing, tears quietly slipped down, but fortunately, it was dark night, so it was not discovered by Wei Dayong and Fan Guan.

But in fact, Wei Dayong and Fan Guanenough have also been infected by Wang Ye's lyrics, and they can't help but cry when they think of the cruel fact that more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army were martyred.

Fan Guan couldn't even control his emotions and sobbed in a low voice.

Fan Guanshu asked while sobbing, "Chief of Staff, what kind of song is this?" ”

"Bloodstained demeanor." Wang Ye said, "A very good song, a song that people can't forget once they hear it." ”

Wei Dayong turned his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without a trace, and swallowed even more: "Captain, I really didn't know that you could still sing, and you still sang like this...... I want to curse. ”

Wang Ye sighed: "If you want to cry, cry out." ”

"I don't cry." Wei Dayong said, "It's just a pity. ”

Why is it a pity? Of course, it was a pity for the more than 7,000 brothers of the 94th Brigade.

"yes, that's a shame." Fan Guandao also sobbed and said, "Why don't they break through." ”

"Because they're soldiers." Wang Ye said with a serious face, "Soldiers must obey orders. ”

"Do you have to obey Chang Kaishen's order as a fool?" Fan Guan was so angry that his face flushed.

Wang Ye said: "Chang Kaishen is a fool in our eyes, but in the eyes of the more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, he is not, that is their leader. ”

As he spoke, suddenly gunshots rang out again in the wilderness ahead.

Immediately after that, there were sporadic fires, and they were rapidly approaching in the direction of Mawu Mountain.

"Captain, there's a situation!" Wei Dayong raised the telescope as he spoke, and then said, "It seems that the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army is chasing and killing someone." ”

Wang Ye had also seen this scene through a telescope.

Although the light is not good at night, the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army is still faintly visible with torches.

At that moment, Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "It should be the remnants of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army that have broken through, let's go, let's go down to Mawu Mountain to meet them!" Hurry up! ”

……

Liang Jun galloped on his horse as he turned around and fired.

About a hundred meters behind him, a puppet Mongolian cavalryman fell from his horse.

Although the war horse was running at high speed, Liang Jun, who grew up on horseback since he was a child, still easily found a balance on the bumpy horseback, so the hit rate was very high.

The cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army also fired back, and from time to time bullets whizzed past Liang Jun's ears.

The distance of one hundred meters is a bit far for these cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army, although these guys are the same as the Liang army, they also grew up on horseback, but they used to use bows and arrows.

But Liang Jun has been playing fast guns since he was seven years old.

So this is not a fair contest, but a dimensionality reduction blow.

Liang Jun clamped the horse's belly with his legs, freed his hands to pull the bolt and withdraw the shell, and then pushed the bullet into the chamber, and then turned back to shoot again, the gun rang out, and a pseudo-Mongolian cavalry fell off his horse a hundred meters away.

The puppet Mongolian cavalry was furious and fired again in response.

Liang Jun sneered, pulled the bolt again, and then pushed the bullet into the chamber and then pulled the trigger.

This time, however, there was no gunshot, only a click of empty warehouses, and there were no bullets.

"!" Liang Jun burst into a foul mouth, reached out to touch the canvas bullet bag on his chest, but found that the entire bullet bag was empty, and not a single bullet was gone.

Liang Jun could only carry the rifle back to his shoulder.

The Liang army stopped shooting, and the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army behind him immediately became excited.

"He's out of bullets!" A company commander of the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army shouted, "Catch alive, don't kill you!" ”

The cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army, which was chasing all over the mountains, raised their guns one after another and stopped shooting at the Liang army, but they soon discovered that this was wishful thinking.

Because Liang Jun's riding skills are superior to theirs.

After chasing this for a long time, the distance between the two sides was not closer, but kept widening.

The company commander of the puppet Mongolian army who led the team immediately became anxious, and shouted: "If you can't catch the living, you can do the dead!" ”

The cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army once again pressed down the muzzle of the gun and opened fire on Liang Jun and his mount, and from time to time bullets creaked and screamed past Liang Jun's ears, and Liang Jun pressed his body to the lowest level, almost clinging to the horse's back.

In doing so, the area of the human body can be reduced to a minimum, and it is not easy to get shot.

However, the war horse could not reduce the area of the bomb, and under the desperate shooting of the puppet Mongolian cavalry without money, a bullet finally hit the left hind leg of the war horse.

If it only hits the hips or leg muscles of the horse, or even the abdomen, the horse will not immediately fall to the ground, and can continue to run for a long time until the blood flow is clear.

But once you are hit by a bullet in your leg bone, you will fall to the ground in an instant.

Liang Jun's war horse was unfortunately hit by a bullet in the leg bone, and immediately fell to the ground with a neigh, and Liang Jun on horseback was also heavily thrown to the ground.

Dozens of puppet Mongolian cavalry came like a tide and surrounded the Liang regiment.

Liang Jun unloaded the rifle on his shoulder again, put on the bayonet, and prepared to fight the bayonet with the puppet Mongolian cavalry, but the puppet Mongolian cavalry just walked around him and did not approach rashly.

Just when the Liang army was hesitating whether to take the initiative to attack, gunshots suddenly rang out.

The puppet Mongolian cavalry surrounding the Liang army fell more than a dozen in an instant, and the remaining puppet Mongolian cavalry was also stunned in an instant, what is the situation? Who's shooting?

It wasn't until the second row of guns rang out that the puppet Mongolian cavalry woke up like a dream.

And along with the sound of gunfire, the sound of horses' hooves also sounded in the woods ahead.

"Company commander, we're in ambush!" A puppet Mongolian cavalryman shouted.

"Retreat!" The company commander of the puppet Mongolian army turned his horse and ran back, and the remaining dozens of puppet Mongolian cavalry also scattered in a hurry, and they ran away in a blink of an eye.

Liang Jun turned his gaze to the group of cavalry that suddenly appeared.

The cavalry, which numbered a hundred or so, soon approached.

One of the cavalrymen stopped and asked, "Of the Ninety-fourth Brigade?" ”

"Liang Jun, Squadron Leader of the Jiaolong Squadron of the 94th Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army." Liang Jun agreed, and then asked, "Which unit are you?" ”

The man said: "Captain of the Wolf Warrior Brigade of the Northwest Column of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ye." ”

"Wang Ye, are you Captain Wang?" Liang Jun saluted, "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Wang Ye also waved his hand, and asked, "What about your brigade commander and other brothers?" ”

"They ......," Liang Jun immediately said with red eyes, "I was the only one who was ordered to break out with the roster of brothers, and the others, including the brigade, have already been martyred." ”

Wang Ye had actually guessed that this would be the case.

But he sighed when he heard it.

At this time, Fan Guan turned back and said, "Chief of Staff, the brigade of the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army is here. ”

When Wang Ye looked up, he saw that thousands of puppet Mongolian cavalry had been overwhelmed, and it would be troublesome enough if they were entangled.

At that moment, Wang Ye said: "Liang Jun, come with us." ”

After speaking, Wang Ye turned around and shouted: "Monk, bring one of the captured war horses over." ”

In the exchange of fire just now, dozens of puppet Mongolian cavalry were killed and more than 20 war horses were captured.

Wei Dayong immediately took a black-covered war horse and threw the reins to Liang Jun.

The Liang army turned over and got on the horse, followed Wang Ye and they disappeared into the forest, and when the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army arrived, the Eighth Route Army had already disappeared in the same place, and only dozens of corpses of the puppet Mongolian army remained.

……

Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.

Although it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, the battle hall of the North China Front Headquarters was still brightly lit, and everyone, including Okamura Ninji, was anxiously waiting for news from the front.

Because if Datong cannot be recaptured in one day, the Pingsui Railway cannot be opened in one day.

If the Pingsui railway is not open, the Mongolian army will have no way to launch an attack on the Suijun army.

And if you can't defeat the Sui army and capture Wuyuan, you can't capture the Hetao.

If the Hetao could not be captured, it would not be possible to cut off the retreat of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

This will cause a series of chain reactions that will affect the entire subsequent combat operation.

Time passed slowly in an anxious wait, and at nearly midnight, a communications staff officer walked into the battle hall with a folder in his arms.

The communications staff officer walked quickly to Okamura Ninji,

With an excited face, he reported: "Your Excellency, the 49th Infantry Wing of the 1st Division has seized the area south of the city, and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army has been completely annihilated!" ”

"Hooray!" The staff officers immediately cheered.

Seeing this scene, Okamura Ningji's face instantly collapsed.

Even a slap in the face of the communications staff officer.

"Yaga Yaru!" Okamura Ninji scolded angrily, then looked around and hissed loudly, "Happy, aren't you?" What do you have to be happy about? ”

The communications staff officer was stunned on the spot.

The cheers of the staff officers also stopped abruptly.

Yusue Seizan received the telegram and instructed the communications staff officer to leave quickly.

Okamura Ningji was still angry, and continued to shout at the staff officers: "A heavy division, a chariot division, and an elite division with a number of less than thirty besieged the lonely city garrisoned by only one brigade of the Zhina Army, and actually fought for seven days and nights, and paid an extremely heavy price!" ”

"Playing like this, you still have a smile on your face?"

"You can still cheer like this?"

"What about your shame? What about your view of honor and disgrace? ”

The more Okamura Ningji spoke, the more angry he became, he picked up a cloisonne ornament next to him and smashed it on the ground, only to hear a loud bang, and the cloisonne ornament that he had spent a lot of money on was shattered into a piece of broken porcelain.

The staff officers of the headquarters were so silent that they didn't even dare to breathe.

It was only at this time that the staff officers of each section found out that Okamura Ninji had started a fire that was so terrifying.

Okamura Ningji snorted coldly, and said to Yusue Seisan: "Yousue-kun, immediately call the Mongolian army and the 1st Division, and ask them to count the battle losses and material consumption in this battle overnight, and they must report to the headquarters before dawn." ”

"Hello!" There are three times of the last essence.

……

In Chongqing, the official residence of Huangshan.

Chang Kaishen and the senior generals of the party-state also couldn't sleep tonight.

More than 7,000 officers and men of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, including brigade commander Liang Gang, were martyred, and the situation in Suiyuan Province deteriorated again.

The loss of the five plains seems inevitable.

Bai Jiansheng said: "Chairman, Wuyuan will definitely not be able to hold it, so it is better to order the Sui army to withdraw into Hexi as soon as possible to preserve this living force." ”

"Is it really impossible to hold on?"

Chang Kaishen's face was a little pale.

Because the five plains can't be defended, the Hetao can't be defended.

And behind the Hetao is Guanzhong, and behind Guanzhong is Hanzhong.

Once the Japanese army occupies Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and forms a two-sided flank attack posture with the Japanese army in Wuhan against Sichuan, Chang Kaishen cannot imagine what the consequences will be.

Do you want to move the capital again?

"Chairman, I really can't hold it."

Liu Fei also said: "The Sui army does not have enough time to adjust the defensive deployment. ”

However, Liu Fei's words had just fallen, and a voice suddenly sounded: "No, time is definitely enough, the Sui army has enough time to readjust the defensive deployment." ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen Huo Ran turned his head.

Liu Fei, Bai Jiansheng, and the senior generals present also turned their heads to look over.

only to find that the person who spoke just now was actually a young colonel officer, and his face was tense.

Bai Jiansheng's face immediately showed contempt, and he said disdainfully: "Where did this raw melon egg come from?" How can you have any room for such a militaristic event? Don't get out of here! ”

"Wait." Chang Kaishen said unexpectedly.

"Yunfei, do you think the Sui army has enough time to adjust its defensive deployment?"

Good guy, it was Chu Yunfei who dared to question Bai Jiansheng and Liu Fei just now.

"Yes." Chu Yunfei said in a categorical tone, "The 94th Brigade has been holding out in Datong for seven days and nights, and it has won enough time for the Sui Army to adjust. ”

"Nonsense." Bai Jiansheng said angrily.

Liu Fei also said: "Seven days is not enough time. ”

Tang Zong also said kindly: "Brother Yunfei, before you came, Director Liu had already led everyone to do wargame deduction repeatedly, and the ten-day deadline was not said casually, but the conclusion of wargame deduction. ”

"Team Leader Tang, I've read your deduction record carefully." Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "It's okay overall, but you seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade, so you were too conservative in setting the battle loss parameters of the garrison army, in my opinion, the battle loss of the garrison army in Mongolia can be increased by two times on the existing basis." ”

"What did you say?" Liu Fei was stunned and said, "We underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade? ”

"No, I'm not saying that you underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade." Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "What I want to say is that you seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade. ”

A whisper suddenly sounded in the battle hall.

Bai Jian said angrily: "Chu Yunfei, right? You just said that the battle losses of the troops stationed in Mongolia can be tripled? Do you know what it means to triple the battle losses of the troops stationed in Mongolia? ”

"Of course I do." Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "It means that the 94th Brigade can achieve a one-to-1 battle loss, and the existing strength of the 94th Brigade is 6,000 people, which means that it can cause the same number of Japanese casualties." ”

"It's ridiculous." Bai Jiansheng sneered, "So far, there is no national army that can match the Japanese army on the battlefield with the same battle loss ratio, do you think the 94th Brigade can do it?" ”

"Yes." Chu Yunfei said seriously, "I think they can do it." ”

"Huh." Bai Jiansheng sneered again, and immediately turned his gaze to Chang Kaishen, as if to say, I don't want to talk nonsense with this raw melon egg, Chang Chang, you can do it.

Chang Kaishen looked at Chu Yunfei with burning eyes and asked, "Yunfei, are you sure." ”

"Headmaster, I'm pretty sure." Chu Yunfei said solemnly, "And dare to guarantee with the head on the item, if the 94th Brigade can't fight a one-to-one battle loss ratio, I, Chu Yunfei, am willing to lead the army!" ”

"Good!" Chang Kaishen said, "Then according to the one-to-one battle loss ratio, re-conduct the war game deduction." ”

After a pause, Chang Kaishen said again: "Yunfei, this time you command the Sui army, Jiansheng and Weizhang command the Japanese army, and see if the Sui army can hold Wuyuan!" ”

"Yes!" Chu Yunfei said loudly.

Immediately, Chu Yunfei stood at the head of the sand table.

Bai Jiansheng and Liu Fei stood at the end.

Chang Kaishen and other senior generals and staff retreated to both sides of the sand table.

Taking advantage of the moment when Tang Zong and the combat staff officers of the third group were playing a war game, Liu Fei said: "Young man, you have overlooked a very important factor, even if the 94th Brigade can fight a one-to-one battle loss, the Sui army will not be able to hold the five plains. ”

"Oh, really?" Chu Yunfei said abruptly, "I don't know what factors I ignored? ”
