Let's go back and talk about Xu Yougeng's side.

In the blink of an eye, the devil had approached within thirty meters, and there were seventy or eighty people, while the soldiers of the seventh company were already less than twenty people.

At this point, there are only two options.

Either turn around and retreat, but there is a high probability that it will be used as a live target by the devil.

Either they launched a counter-charge with a bayonet, fought with the devil with a white knuckle, and fought the ball.

Xu Yougeng chose the latter without hesitation, but just as he was about to give the order for a surprise attack, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, without warning, dazzling bullet streamers swept from the side and rear, and the devils who were charging forward immediately fell in rows.

This time it's no longer one by one, but one by one!

At this density of firepower, there must be at least ten or more heavy machine guns!

Looking up quickly, Xu Yougeng was pleasantly surprised to see that more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles had lined up in an arrow-shaped assault formation, quickly crushing over from the side of the devil's barracks.

In front of this torrent of steel, the flesh and blood of the Japanese army could not be stopped at all.

In the blink of an eye, a Japanese squadron that had just counterattacked was completely killed and wounded.

A few of them were lucky enough not to die, but they were also run over by tank tracks and crushed to death.

After a while, more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles arrived in front of them, along with a reinforced battalion of a division, and Xu Yougeng immediately jumped out of the trench with the surviving soldiers of the seventh company to meet him.

"Youplough, it's you kid." The turret of a Type 97 tank is raised from the inside.

Immediately, Li Sigen's head poked out of the turret and beckoned to Xu Yougeng.

"Four! Your dog's day is coming, if you don't arrive again, the fuck will have to collect Lao Tzu's body. Xu Yougeng said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Li Sigen hurriedly apologized.

"Halfway through, a bridge collapsed, and it took a while to rebuild the bridge, but it was delayed."

"Xu Yougeng, Li Sigen, what are you doing? Huh? When the two were greeting each other, a voice sounded, but they saw Shen Quan rushing to him with anger on his face.

When the tank company was charging just now, it easily knocked out the mortar position of the devil.

The main force of the three regiments led by Shen Quan was finally able to rush up and join Xu Yougeng's Seventh Company.

"Don't be fucking stunned, rush, hurry up and fight forward!" Shen Quan said, "Defeat the little devil!" ”

"Yes!" Li Sigen agreed, and immediately retracted into the turret, and then the Type 97 medium tank turned around on the spot, and the other nine tanks and six armored vehicles also turned around one after another, and once again diagonally returned to the devil's barracks.

With the addition of the tank company, the situation immediately changed dramatically, and the devils began to retreat one after another.

Xu Yougeng soon discovered this and shouted excitedly: "Commander, the devil can't stand it!" ”

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Shen Quan said with a solemn face, "The devil retreated in an orderly manner, this is not a rout, the devil should take the initiative to retreat!" ”

"Retreat on your own initiative?" Xu Yougeng said, "Are devils stupid?" Leave a barracks with well-fortified barracks not to defend? Running outside to the open field to fight with us? ”

Shen Quan's brows also tightened suddenly.

That's where he gets confused.

But in the next second, Shen Quan reacted.

"It's not good, the devil wants to seize the commanding heights!"

After Shen Quan reacted, he shouted: "The devil is trying to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the pig killing mouth!" Then with these two commanding heights, form a horn momentum and stick to it! ”

"Huh?" Xu Yougeng was stunned.

"Gotta stop them!" Shen Quan yelled.

Then Shen Quan personally led the 1st Battalion to cut diagonally to the commanding heights on the right side of the pig killing mouth.

However, before the soldiers of the 1st Battalion could get closer, dense machine-gun fire poured down violently from the commanding heights on the right side of the pig-killing mouth, and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion fell a lot in an instant.

……

In the forward observation post.

The brigade commander and Wang Ye had also discovered the unusual behavior of the Japanese army.

"Huh?" The brigade commander snorted lightly and said, "The devil doesn't look like a rout, but like an orderly retreat." ”

"Yes, it's an orderly retreat under alternate cover." Wang Ye smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the devil wants to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the pig killing mouth and wait for help." ”

"Huh?" The brigade commander said urgently, "This is not going to work. ”

Wang Ye said abruptly: "Don't worry, brigade commander, the devil is wishful thinking." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ye said again: "Unless the devils leave heavy troops at the commanding heights on both sides of the pig killing mouth in advance, otherwise with the current situation, the two sides have been completely mixed together, and the devils can't get rid of the pursuit of our army at all, so even if they seize the commanding heights on both sides of the pig killing mouth, it will be too late to build a defense line......

However, before the words fell, more than a dozen dazzling tongues of fire suddenly bloomed on the commanding heights on the right side of the pig-killing mouth.

"It's a heavy machine gun!" The brigade commander's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "And at least one squadron!" ”

Wang Ye's face also collapsed instantly, this was something he never expected, the devil deployed a heavy machine gun squadron on the commanding heights on the right side of the pig's mouth? This means that there is at least one infantry brigade on the commanding heights on the right.

An infantry brigade is deployed on the right commanding heights, so what about the commanding heights on the left side of the pig-killing mouth?

If there is a brigade on each side of the commanding heights, it can form a strong cover for the main force of the 28th Division, and the main force of the 28th Division can calmly withdraw to the commanding heights on both sides.

In this way, the battle on the flat ground has become a battle on the high ground.

It is also a tough battle, and the difficulty of attacking on high ground is much greater than that on flat ground.

Because the Northwest Column of Jin Province now not only has a powerful artillery group, but also a tank company to assist in the battle, it can not only achieve artillery coverage without leaving dead ends in the flat ground attack, but also invest the tank company to forcibly break through from the strongest point of the devil's fortifications, so Wang Ye dared to say that there was a seventy percent chance of winning, otherwise, go dream.

But in the highlands, the situation is completely different.

Turning into a highland attack, the tank company lost its role in the first place.

Then the devils can also use the anticline of the mountain to avoid artillery strikes.

If the Northwest Column of Shanxi Province is compared to a strong crab, the artillery regiment is undoubtedly the left claw of this crab, and the tank company is the right claw of this crab.

But now that the two big claws are useless, this battle will be difficult to fight.

Suddenly, fine cold sweat oozed from the foreheads of the brigade commander and Wang Ye.

"Xiao Wang." The brigade commander felt that his mouth was a little dry, and said in a difficult tone, "If you put in the second detachment now, can you stop the main force of the 28th Division?" ”

"Brigadier Commander, it's no longer possible." Wang Ye said, "The devils have already deployed heavy troops on the commanding heights on both sides of the pig mouth, and have built firepower points in advance, and at this time, it will be futile to try to intercept the main force of the 28th Division, and they will only be slaughtered by the heavy machine gun fire of the devils on the two commanding heights." ”

In the final analysis, the devil camp is not far from the commanding heights on both sides of the pig-killing mouth.

Originally, there was only a gap of less than one kilometer, and the second detachment inserted it further, and it was completely exposed to the range of the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points at the commanding heights on both sides.

The brigade commander sighed when he heard this.

In fact, he also knew that it would not work.

The brigade commander said: "I can only fight on the high ground." ”

While speaking, Wei Dayong came in with Duan Peng panting.

Wang Ye's fire came up and kicked Wei Dayong to the ground with one kick.

"Wei Dayong!" Wang Ye was obviously angry, and he didn't call his nickname and called his name directly, "Is your dog's brain full of paste?" Huh? ”

"The devils have deployed heavy troops at the commanding heights on both sides,"

"You didn't report such an important military situation?"

"Huh? Are you blind or stupid? Shame on the fucking special forces captain! ”

After scolding a few words, Wang Ye still felt puzzled, and kicked Wei Dayong a few times.

Wei Dayong lay on the ground without saying a word, but the brigade commander rushed up to stop Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, don't do it." ”

At this time, Duan Peng knelt down in front of Wang Ye with a puff, and said miserably: "Captain, shoot me quickly." ”

"Duan Peng, what are you doing? You get up. Wang Ye said with a dark face, "Hurry up and get me up, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"No, Captain, it's all my fault." Duan Peng shook his head and said, "The monk explained before leaving, let me closely monitor the devil infantry on the commanding heights on both sides, although the devils on the mountain returned to the camp yesterday evening, but the monk was afraid that they would not return to the camp tonight, so let me keep an eye on it, if the devil did not withdraw to the barracks after nightfall, report him immediately, but I ......"

Speaking of this, Duan Peng said with a guilty face: "But when it was almost evening, I saw two devils quietly entering an abandoned tunnel, so I followed in from behind, I didn't expect one of the devils to be a rabbit Xianggong, and the two devils touched into the tunnel to do that kind of disgusting thing......"

Wang Ye scolded: "Don't talk about these useless things, you just say the point." ”

"Yes." Duan Peng replied, and said, "I ended up with those two devils, but just as I was about to return along the same route, I happened to encounter a counterattack by the troops of the first division. ”

"One of the shells happened to land at the mouth of the tunnel."

"That tunnel had collapsed once, and it was re-dug later."

"And it was not reinforced with wood, and as soon as the cannon fell, the tunnel collapsed again."

"Then I was stuck inside and couldn't get out, so I could only dig out desperately with a bayonet."

Speaking of this, he said: "When I finally dig it out, the outside has already been made into a pot of porridge, so I quickly found the monk to report the situation, but ......"

"Holy!" Wang Ye scolded for half a sentence.

The second half of the sentence endured desperately.

At this moment, Wang Ye really experienced Zhuge Liang's mood on the valley above.

This is really a matter of man, success is in heaven, who the would have thought that such an accident would happen?

But as soon as he turned his head and saw Wei Dayong, who was still lying on the ground and didn't get up, the fire in Wang Ye's heart surged up again, and he raised his foot to shine on Wei Dayong's ass and kicked it again.

The brigade commander hurriedly came up again to stop it.

"Oh, Xiao Wang, why are you beating people again?"

Wang Yeyu was still angry, pointed at Wei Dayong and scolded: "Duan Peng's greed was blocked in the tunnel, it is a dereliction of duty, but as the captain of the reconnaissance detachment, won't you send someone to review it?" ”

Wei Dayong held his head with both hands and didn't say a word, looking pitiful and willing to be beaten and scolded.

When Wang Ye was about to scold a few more words, Li Xia suddenly walked in quickly and persuaded him: "Captain, you really can't blame the monk for this, he was busy and dizzy at the time." ”

"After the reconnaissance detachment arrived at the mouth of the pig,"

"Both to find suitable artillery positions and to calculate ballistic parameters,"

"It is necessary to calibrate the coordinate parameters for each area of the devil's military camp, and then calculate the shooting elements."

"In addition to the huge amount of calculations, there are also frequent reports, and there are only a few people in the reconnaissance detachment, and they are all eager to grow three heads, six pairs of arms and eighteen legs."

"You see the monk's shoes are worn out."

Hearing this, Wei Dayong subconsciously retracted his feet.

But the brigade commander and Wang Ye still saw it, and saw that a pair of cloth shoes on Wei Dayong's feet had holes.

Wang Ye clearly remembered that these cloth shoes were made for him by Cheng Yue herself, and they had been worn for less than half a month, and now they have worn out holes.

Wang Ye sighed and bent down to help Wei Dayong.

"Monk, why don't you explain it on your dog day?" Wang Ye said angrily.

"What's there to explain?" Wei Dayong turned over and got up, drooped his head and said, "There was such a big mistake, it is indeed my job that I did not do my job." ”

Wang Ye said: "Your mistake this time is really not small, but it may not be saved." ”

"Captain!" Wei Dayong's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked with a look of hope, "You mean that there is still a possibility of saving, right?" ”

"It depends on how many devils are on the commanding heights on both sides."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye asked Duan Peng again: "Duan Peng, how many devils are there on the mountain?" ”

"About three thousand." Duan Peng replied without thinking, "Two thousand devil infantry and one thousand sappers to build roads." ”

"There's still a fight!" Wang Ye immediately turned his head to the brigade commander and said, "Brigade commander, in the battle of more than two hours just now, we have annihilated at least more than 5,000 devils, so the number of devils who retreat to the commanding heights on both sides of the pig's mouth will not exceed 4,000, and most of these 4,000 devils are auxiliary troops such as artillery, baggage soldiers, and medical soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of infantry, so even if we fight a highland attack, we still have a chance to eat the 28th Division." ”

The brigade commander nodded, "But I'm afraid the time will exceed the budget a lot." ”

"Yes." Wang Ye nodded and said, "Considering that the devils will definitely send out aviation to bomb indiscriminately during the day today, it is difficult for us to organize a powerful offensive, at most we can only interfere with the devils and prevent them from having too much energy to strengthen the fortifications, and only at night can we launch a strong attack, so at least it will not be until tomorrow morning to be able to resolve the battle." ”

"Tomorrow morning?" The brigade commander's face fell, "Okamura Ninji will definitely not watch the 28th Division being eaten." ”

"That's for sure." Wang Ye nodded and said, "If nothing else, the 4th Brigade stationed in Taiyuan will definitely go north overnight to reinforce it, and the two divisions of the southern cluster in Hongniwan will also rush to reinforce frantically." ”

At this time, Li Xia suddenly said: "Commander, captain, the devil has come." ”

After speaking, Li Xia handed the two telegrams in his hand to Wang Ye: "This is the telegram just sent by the Taiyuan underground party and the reconnaissance detachment monitoring the southern cluster of the Japanese army. ”

"!" After reading the telegram, Wang Ye couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

After finishing it, he said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, the 4th Brigade has gone north from Taiyuan, but the two divisions of the southern cluster in Hongniwan did not rush to kill the pigs for reinforcements, but went straight to Yunqi Town. ”

"Huh?" The brigade commander's face changed slightly when he heard this, this is not a common sense.

"Okamura Ningji sings about Wei Wei saving Zhao." Wang Ye said hatefully, "He knew that we would not let the devils slaughter the people, so he went directly to the people in the base area to force us to give up our plan." ”

The brigade commander frowned and said: "Xiao Wang, although our tactical deception successfully tied the devil's southern cluster in Hongniwan for a whole day and half a night, that is to say, it took eighteen hours, but the problem is that we also made a mistake in the encirclement and annihilation operation of the 28th Division, and it needs to be delayed for twenty-four hours!" ”

After a pause, he said: "In this way, we still have a loss of six hours, is there enough time?" ”

Wang Ye spread out the map, measured it and said: "Judging from the map, it is about nine o'clock in the morning, the southern cluster of devils can enter Yunqi Town, and if they are not blocked at this time, the devils will be able to enter Heyuan County in the evening, so that the fathers and villagers who retreat from the Heyuan Highway will be blocked in the east." ”

"Nope." The brigade commander said, "This is absolutely not going to work. ”

Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of ordinary people who retreated from the Heyuan Highway, even if there is only one, they must not let the devils wantonly slaughter, and they must also send troops to protect them.

Wang Ye said: "I'll take a regiment to Shouyunqi Town!" ”

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "If there is a street fight, I am still sure that I will hold on until tomorrow evening." ”

The brigade commander raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "But the problem is, it's already four o'clock, and the devil's southern cluster can reach Yunqi Town at about nine o'clock, and you can get to Yunqi Town in only five hours?" ”

Wang Ye was also speechless, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would arrive at Yunqi Town within five hours.

Of course, he himself is fine, but the possibility of other fighters running more than sixty kilometers in five hours, and it is still a rugged mountain road, is almost zero.

The intensity of this march is too perverted.

The wolf warrior brigade can afford it.

After a little silence, the brigade commander said to the guards: "Xiao Liu, go and call Commander Sun." ”

In just a moment, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry regiment, entered the forward observation post proudly and shouted another report.

"Captain Sun, I'll give you a task." The brigade commander didn't have any extra nonsense, and directly issued a combat order, "Immediately lead the cavalry regiment out of Yunqi Town, and then go out in the direction of Hongniwan after arriving at Yunqi Town, after encountering the main force of the devils, don't fight head-on but you can't avoid the battle, find a way to hold them back, until the chief of staff orders you to retreat." ”

"Yes!" Sun Desheng didn't say half a nonsense, snapped his leg and saluted again, and turned to leave.

The brigade commander said to Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, the task of blocking is handed over to you, no matter what, you have to drag the devil's southern cluster until the main force of the column arrives to reinforce it!" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye smiled and said, "The brigade commander can rest assured that the task will be completed." ”

Seeing Wang Ye turn around and leave, the brigade commander gritted his teeth and shouted: "Pass my order, the offensive of the first and third detachments will not stop, and continue to put pressure on the 28th Division!" ”
