Half an hour passed quickly.

To the surprise of Ge Dazhuang, Li Goudan and Lin Han, the Japanese army did not launch a retaliatory artillery attack this time, nor did they rush to launch a second attack.

Ge Dazhuang said: "It's weird, why hasn't the devil moved?" ”

Li Goudan said: "The little devil shouldn't be scared of us, right?" ”

"Brigade Li, what do you want?" Lin Han said angrily, "The devil is not scared. ”

"Well, that's not what I said." Li Goudan said a little embarrassed, "Then tell me, why hasn't the devil moved yet?" ”

"I don't know." Lin Han Road.

As he was talking, Wei Xilai suddenly said, "Captain, there is movement!" ”

Wang Ye was leaning against the wall of the underground shelter and closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the words, he stood up: "What is the movement?" ”

Wei Xilai snorted and said: "At six o'clock, it seems that there are devil sappers digging tunnels, but I didn't see the devil outcropping, I only saw a handful of loess raised upward. ”

"I'll see." Lin Han reached out to grab Wei Xilai's sniper rifle.

"Don't touch the gun." Wei Xilai decisively refused, this was his treasure.

"Stingy." Lin Han snorted, and could only lie down in front of the lookout hole and look with the naked eye.

Although Ge Dazhuang is the head of the local regiment, he is also expected to have a telescope, so he raised the telescope to observe at the moment.

Li Goudan, the captain of the county brigade, could not be equipped with a telescope, so he could only watch with his eyes, hoping that Ge Dazhuang would show him after reading it.

Wang Ye also raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw that there was loess rising on the devil's position in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye was happy, it was really feng shui in turn, two years ago they beat Li Jiapo, and they used the civil work industry, and now they have replaced it with the devil to play Yunqi Town, which is actually a civil work industry.

Ge Dazhuang said: "This is a civil work, Director Wang, this is troublesome." ”

"Ah, earthwork?" Li Goudan was stunned and said, "It's really a bit troublesome now." ”

Wei Xilai now also has rich combat experience, and when he heard this, he snorted lightly and said: "The devils use the method of earthwork to advance, and our firepower will not be able to hit them." ”

Li Goudan said: "It's not just a problem that the firepower can't hit, the devil will dig up all the tunnels." ”

"Don't panic." Wang Ye said abruptly, "If the devils want to dig, just let them dig it, wait for them to advance the tunnels to our position, wait for them to dig all the tunnels around Yunqi Town, and get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, by then the battle to kill the pigs has already been over, and the main force of the column should rush to Yunqi Town." ”

"Seems to be right." Only then did Ge Dazhuang and the others react.

Wang Ye said again: "What's more, we are not completely helpless. ”

"I know." Wei Xilai hurriedly said, "When the devils push the tunnel to within fifty meters, we can attack them with grenades, bullets can't hit the tunnel, but grenades can still be thrown into the tunnel." ”

"This is it." Wang Ye said, "Anyway, what we have is a grenade." ”

……

Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.

Okamura Ninji made up for sleep after lunch, and when he returned to the battle hall, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and he saw that Seizo was working on the sand table with several combat staff members of the General Staff.

Seeing Okamura Ninji, Seizo Arisue hurriedly nodded and greeted: "Your Excellency the General." ”

Okamura Ninji waved his hand and asked, "There is Mojun, has the Southern Cluster taken Yunqi Town?" ”

A look of embarrassment flashed across Yousue Jingsan's face, and he shook his head and said, "Not yet, the Southern Cluster is still fighting with the Eighth Route Army outside Yunqi Town, and it seems to be fighting quite hard." ”

"What's going on?" Okamura Ninji's face instantly fell.

There are three ways to say the end of the essence: "Because the Eighth Route Army invented a very disgusting tactic. ”

"Disgusting tactics?" Okamura Ninji frowned, "I don't know what kind of disgusting tactic it is?" ”

There are three ways to the end: "Isn't the Northwest Jin Bandit Area the same as the Central Hebei Bandit Area that has excavated a large number of tunnels?" Yunqi Town is also surrounded by spider web-like tunnels, which were originally only used to transfer personnel, equipment and materials, and the entrances and exits of the tunnels are generally very hidden, and even camouflaged. ”

"But the Eighth Route Army in Yunqi Town is unusual."

"They've dug thousands of exits to the network of tunnels that are two to three kilometers around Yunqi Town!"

"Then build these thousands of exits into firing points, which can not only avoid shelling, but also allow the Eighth Route Army to quickly transfer between these firing points through tunnels."

After a pause, Yusue Jingsan smiled bitterly: "It's really tricky. ”

"Baga, it's really cunning." Okamura Ninji also frowned.

Yusue Jingsan said with a wry smile: "In the face of such a tactic, a strong attack is obviously not possible, because the casualties are too great, although there are two divisions in the southern cluster, they can't afford it, so Liu Chuanjun thought of the tactics of earthwork, which is to dig tunnels, advance in a broken line, and then launch a surprise attack after advancing to the tunnel entrance, and use this tactic to destroy and fill the tunnel exits one by one, until all the thousands of tunnel openings outside Yunqi Town are filled." ”

Okamura nodded and said, "That's a good idea." ”

Yusue Seizan smiled bitterly: "But it will take a long time. ”

Okamura Ninji sighed when he heard this, time, time again.

His eyes fell on the sand table, and Okamura asked again, "What about the situation in the other directions?" ”

Youmo Jingsan immediately pointed to the sand table and said: "Your Excellency, General, please see, the 71st Division is in Yelangyu, and the 72nd Division is advancing very slowly at Xijikou, only advancing more than 100 meters. ”

"The collapse defense of the Eighth Route Army is too disgusting."

"The 1st Division also advanced only more than 300 meters in the wild boar ditch."

"But the good thing is that the improvised road outside the boar ditch is about to be repaired."

"In other words, the vehicles of the 2nd Tank Wing and the 1st Search Team can drive up the mountainside to assist the infantry in launching an attack on the bunkers of the Eighth Route Army on the slopes on both sides of the Boar Gully."

Speaking of this, there is a sue Seizan and said: "With the protection of the chariot, I believe that the advance speed of the 1st Division will be greatly accelerated, and it is optimistically estimated that there is a high probability that it can break through the Wild Boar Gully Fortress within a week." ”

Okamura Ninji said: "What did you just say, this method of battle is called a rout defense?" ”

"The technicians of the special high school deciphered the secret code of the Eighth Route Army, and found that the term rout defense was frequently mentioned in the previous messages between the 386th Brigade and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Don't say it, it's really apt." Okamura said, "This is really similar to the collapse of the body frame when the cars hit each other, except that the body frame collapses and cannot be recovered, but the defenders of the fortress of the Eighth Route Army can launch a counter-assault after retreating and recapture the lost bunker." ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji asked again, "Wait, what did you just say?" The technician of the special high class deciphered the cipher code of the Eighth Route Army? ”

Youmo Jing said: "But the Eighth Route Army has just changed again." ”

"Damn it." Okamura Ninji was a little annoyed when he heard this.

After a pause, Okamura asked again, "What about the North Cluster?" Is there no progress either? ”

"Yes." Yusue Jingsan lowered his head and said, "The local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army gathered in front of Tianda Post have at least 5,000 people, plus they firmly occupy the advantage of the terrain, so despite the continuous onslaught of the northern cluster, there is no way to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Yagayalu." Okamura Ninji said hatefully, "Are the northern cluster and the southern cluster all pigs?" If the frontal attack is blocked, won't there be a flank detour? Wouldn't it be okay to send a wing to make a detour? ”

There are three ways of the end of the essence: "The north and south clusters are roundabout, but it's useless." ”

Speaking of this, there was a sue Seizan and said: "The Southern Cluster even sent two infantry wings to detour behind Yunqi Town to cut off all his contact with the outside world, but it was useless. ”

"The Eighth Route Army is not the Central Army, let alone the Jin Sui Army."

"As long as the flank positions of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army are lost, the whole line will be shaken in an instant."

"But the Eighth Route Army, even if you surround him, you won't waver in the slightest."

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, before the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in Tiandagang and Yunqi Town are completely eliminated, the northern cluster and the southern cluster do not dare to go deep rashly. ”

In a word, the Japanese army was also afraid that the Eighth Route Army would cut off the back road.

Once the back road is cut off, you will be made dumplings if you don't do it well.

In any case, the northwest of Shanxi is the territory of the 386th Brigade, and under the premise that the back road has not been opened, Okamura Ningji does not dare to let the two major clusters in the north and south rashly go deeper.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji turned his attention to the battlefield of killing pigs.

"What about killing the pig's mouth?" Okamura Ninji asked, "How is the 28th Division?" And when will the 4th Brigade that went north to reinforce arrive at the pig-killing mouth? ”

"The situation of the 28th Division is still good, because the attack aircraft of the 3rd Flying Division continue to provide air fire support, so the defensive pressure is not very large, but the 4th Brigade has been strongly blocked by one of the main forces of the 386th Brigade, and it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch." ”

"Can't move an inch?" Okamura Ninji said angrily, "What a waste. ”

"Yes." Yousue Jingsan thought so, "The combat effectiveness of the various divisions and brigades of the First Army has been attenuated too much, and it seems that the past few years of garrisoning Shanxi have been too comfortable. ”

Okamura Ningji said: "If it weren't for this, why would I have transferred troops from Hebei to sweep the bandit areas in the northwest of Jin?" The northwest of Jin is the defense area of the First Army, this group of waste, rice buckets! ”

After a pause, Okamura Ninji said again: "Has the artillery group of the 386th Brigade participated in the battle?" ”

"Nope." "Until now, the artillery group of the 386th Brigade has not moved. ”

"It's a big problem." Okamura Ninji lamented, "With Sue-kun, I'm afraid the 28th Division will be in big trouble now." ”

Yusue Seizan couldn't help frowning, he felt that it was very inappropriate for Okamura Ningji to say this, you are the commander of the North China Front, and you are the backbone of the entire Front Army, how could you say such frustrating words?

Sure enough, as soon as Okamura Ninji's words came out, the faces of the dozen or so staff officers present all changed.

But Okamura Ninji soon realized that he had missed his words, and immediately remedied: "However, I believe that the 28th Division will be able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements!" ”

He asked again: "How is the preparation of the 110th Division?" ”

"All the personnel on leave have all returned to the team, and the supplies are also being loaded, and it is expected that some of the fighters and supplies will be able to depart from Zhengding by this evening, and they will be able to meet with the 4th Brigade tomorrow morning, and if nothing happens, they will be able to advance to the 28th Division at noon tomorrow." ”

"Yo Si." Okamura nodded happily.

"Call the 28th Division, no matter what, hold out until noon tomorrow."

"Hello." There was a heavy head in the end, and he turned around and arranged to send a report to the 28th Division.

……

Kill the pig, the temporary headquarters of the 28th Division.

Isamu Tonegawa walked into the underground shelter and said, "Division commander, there's a telegram from the headquarters. ”

Ishiguro Sadazo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Is it about reinforcements?" ”

"Yes." "Due to the ineffective operation of the 4th Brigade, the Front Army Headquarters has urgently decided to transfer the 110th Division from Zhengding to reinforce the pig mouth. ”

"110 Division?" Ishiguro said, "When will it arrive?" ”

"Tomorrow at noon." Tonegawa said in a deep voice, "Let's hold on until noon tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow at noon?" Ishiguro Sadazo's face was slightly relieved, and he said, "It's not a big problem tomorrow at noon, but if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will really be a little troublesome." ”

Speaking of this, Ishiguro Sadazo commanded again: "Order all wings to conserve ammunition as much as possible, as well as dry food and drinking water. ”

Due to the rush of retreat in the early hours of this morning,

The 28th Wing did not carry too much combat materials, so by now, not only the ammunition has been in an emergency, but there is not much dry food and drinking water left, and the dry food can still persist in fighting when hungry, but if there is no drinking water, people will not be able to hold out for too long, so they must be uniformly rationed.

"Hello." Tonegawa slammed his head.

……

On the other side, Li Xia was also reporting the battle situation to the brigade commander.

Li Xia said: "There have been a small number of Japanese troops bypassing Tiandagang and Yunqi Town, but fortunately, the people in Yunqi Town and the villages near Tiandagang have been evacuated, so there are not too many casualties." ”

The brigade commander frowned and said, "Have these Japanese troops continued to advance towards Heyuan County and Fu'an County?" ”

"Nope." Li Xia said, "After these Japanese troops made a detour, they only flanked Yunqi Town and Tiandagang. ”

"It's fine." The brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the Japanese army is also worried about being cut off by us, so they dare not rush into the hinterland of our base area. ”

"Yes." Li Xia said.

The brigade commander said: "In this case, we still have time. ”

Just as he was saying that, Wei Da walked in breathlessly.

"Monk?" The brigade commander stared at him and asked in a deep voice, "The mission is complete?" ”

Wei Dayong stood upright, and Shi immediately said proudly: "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance mission has been completed, and I assure you that there is absolutely no shooting blind spot for the devil!" ”

"Where's the figure?" The brigade commander happily said, "Give me the map!" ”

Wei Dayong immediately took out a map from his pocket.

The brigade commander stretched out his hand to take it, and sure enough, he saw sixteen circles drawn on the map.

It is clear that these sixteen circles, each circle represents an artillery position, and sixteen artillery batteries are exactly one artillery company and one artillery position, and even the parameters are marked.

Wei Dayong had even measured the shooting yuan for the artillery.

"Beautiful!" The brigade commander couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Immediately copy sixteen copies and distribute them to each artillery company!" ”

Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli next to him hurriedly took over the map and marked the artillery positions determined by Wei Dayong on the other sixteen new maps, but these maps did not need to mark all sixteen positions, each map only needed to mark one of the artillery positions, corresponding to one of the artillery companies.

"Damn." The brigade commander turned his attention to the pig-killing mouth.

"I don't believe that the dog can survive tonight!"

……

It was dark, and the devil bombers, which had been raging all day over the pig's mouth, finally withdrew.

"Damn, now the roots of my ears are finally clean." Li Yunlong put down the binoculars and spat at the sky, "Otherwise, I won't be able to live this day." ”

After a pause, he said, "Da Biao? Zhang Dabiao?! ”

Zhang Dabiao trotted to Li Yunlong and asked, "Regiment leader, now the general attack?" ”

"General attack?" Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "It's not time for a general attack yet, didn't the brigade commander say before that the artillery has to plow the devil's positions on the two commanding heights before the general attack." ”

Zhang Dabiao frowned and said: "The problem is that there are inevitably blind spots in the artillery. ”

"That's not something we should think about." Li Yunlong said, "This is Lao Cao's business. ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Lao Tzu called you over to ask you, how many fighters are left in your regiment?" ”

Zhang Dabiao immediately said with a serious face: "Including the lightly wounded, there are more than 1,200 combatants in our regiment. ”

"Damn, there are more than 1,200 left?" Li Yunlong's face fell, and he scolded, "Zhang Dabiao, you dog, how did you command?" Why don't you know how to save some troops? Huh? ”

"Regiment commander, the 28th Division is a hard bone." Zhang Dabiao said solemnly.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to this nonsense." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Zhang Dabiao, you listen to me, after the shelling is over later, after the order for the general attack comes down, I want your 1st regiment to rush to the commanding heights on the left as quickly as possible, and you must rush to the front of the team to get rid of the devils here, do you hear?" ”

Good guy, I don't want to fall behind Ding Wei, I don't want to fall behind the team.

"Commander, don't worry." Zhang Dabiao patted his chest and said, "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

After a pause, he deliberately added: "If you can't complete the task, you can just shoot me, head of the regiment!" ”

Li Yunlong was still very relieved of Zhang Dabiao, and said with a smile: "After completing the task, I will invite you to drink sweet potato roast." ”
