Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.

Okamura Ninji had already decided to go to the Northwest Front of Jin.

Oshirodo Sanji was trying to dissuade Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, General, you are the commander of the North China Front, there is no need to personally go to the front line to command the battle. ”

"If you stay in Beiping, you can also command the battle."

"If you really don't feel at ease, you can appoint a commander on the front line and exercise command on your behalf, you really don't have to risk yourself."

Okamura Ninji said: "Oshiro-kun, you don't need to say it. ”

"There's the end of it." Dacheng Sanji could only ask for help from Yusue Jingsan, "You can quickly persuade Your Excellency the General." ”

However, there was only a sneer, he didn't know too much about the thoughts of the three rulers of the big city, it was nothing more than hoping that Okamura Ningji would stay in Beiping, and then appoint him to the front line to command.

This vision, how can it be possible to help the three rulers of the big city to achieve it?

Even if he appoints someone to go to the front line, it can only be that he has the last essence three, not the three rules of the big city.

At that moment, there was a sue Jingsan said solemnly: "I think Your Excellency the General's idea is right, the victory or defeat of the Battle of the Northwest of Jin is directly related to the battle situation in North China, and it is also related to the battle situation in the whole of China. ”

"There is the end of the king, you ......"

Dachenghu Sanzhi almost died of anger when he heard this.

Okamura Ninji said happily: "There is still a Sue-kun who understands my mind. ”

After a pause, Okamura Ninji said again: "Oshiro-kun, when I am not there, the affairs of the headquarters will be handled by you, and you will go with me." ”

"Hello." There are three first ways of the end of the essence.

The big city household Sanji can only follow the head.

Two hours later, Okamura Ninji had already boarded a special train bound for Zhengding County.

As soon as he got into the car, a communications staff officer held a folder and came to report the latest battle report this morning to Arisue Seizo.

After reading the telegram, Seizo reported to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, the various divisions advancing along the road and the side roads have been attacked by the 386th Brigade. ”

"Among them, the 1st Division suffered the greatest losses."

"In less than a quarter of an hour,"

"A reinforced squadron of more than 200 imperial soldiers will be collectively shattered."

After a pause, he added: "Moreover, the roads and bridges have also been damaged a lot, so the advance speed of the various divisions is very slow, and it will take at least three days. ”

"Three days, three days." Okamura Ninji said, "Telegraph to all divisions, don't worry. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji turned his head to look at the dark sky outside the window, and said, "Anyway, even if the weather is fine now, the people in the northwest bandit area of Jin will not be able to cross the river in a hurry. ”

"Hello!" There is a slight head of the end of the essence,

He also signaled the communications staff officers to go back and send telegrams to the divisions and regiments.

Okamura Ninji asked Yusue Seisan again: "Yousue-kun, did I ask about your affairs?" ”

"Hello." "I have asked domestic meteorological experts, but they have studied the meteorology of Manchuria and East China a lot, and they don't know much about the meteorology of northwest Shanxi. ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji's face instantly became gloomy.

But fortunately, Seizo Arisue quickly continued: "However, there is a valuable news from our inner line lurking in the top echelons of the Shina government. ”

"Oh?" Okamura Ninji said with interest, "What news?" ”

"Our internal line sent back the news that a president surnamed Zhu of Zhejiang University is a meteorology expert who has a deep study of the meteorology in China. Anyway, there will be a large area of heavy rainfall, and it will last for many days. ”

Okamura Ninji said: "In other words, it won't end in a short time?" ”

"It's going to take at least three to five days." ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura nodded happily.

Three or five more days will be enough.

……

In the county seat of Anhua, the headquarters of the Northwest Column of Shanxi.

"This thief, oh my God, it's really endless." The brigade commander stared out of the window with a gloomy expression, and said, "Thanks to the fact that our northwest of Shanxi belongs to the plateau terrain, the rain can't be accumulated, if it were my hometown Hunan, it would have been raining so heavily for so long, and it would have been flooded a long time ago, and I don't know how many people drowned." ”

As a native of Hunan, the brigade commander was really impressed by the flood.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "I heard that Henan is so dry that it can't be done, from the beginning of spring to the present, not a drop of rain has fallen, and all the crops have died, but the rain in our northwest Jin Province has not ended, how good it would be to be able to even." ”

"yes, it would be nice to be even." Zhao Gang sighed, "But the most troublesome thing now is that there is no way to cross the river, the people have not crossed the river for a day, we can't withdraw for a day, and I don't know how many days this rain will fall?" ”

While he was talking, Li Xia walked in with a solemn expression and reported: "Commander, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”

The brigade commander took the telegram and read it quickly, and his face suddenly became very embarrassed, or rather extremely solemn.

Li Yunlong asked, "Brigade commander, what's wrong?" What task did the head of the headquarters give us again? ”

"There are no tasks." The brigade commander shook his head and said, "I just gave us a situation that a meteorologist deduced a weather forecast related to our northwest of Shanxi through high-altitude meteorology. ”

"Weather forecast?" Li Yunlong was stunned and said, "What does this meteorologist say?" ”

The brigade commander said in a deep voice: "This meteorologist said that this rain is likely to fall for another three or four days!" ”

"What? It's going to be three or four days away! Li Yunlong lost his voice and said, "Isn't that the end?" Our work will have to be ruined. ”

"We won't have any problems with our work." Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "The northwest of Shanxi belongs to the Loess Plateau, and the water barrier is very strong, so let alone three or four days, there will be no problem in the second half of the month, but if it rains heavily for another three or four days, it means that the water level of the Yellow River will continue to rise." ”

"And when the water level of the Yellow River drops, it will take at least seven or eight days to ferry!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang said: "And if we want to send more than one million people to the west bank of the Yellow River, it will take at least seven or eight days, which means that we have to defend for at least half a month!" It's going to take half a month! ”

"Then keep it." The brigade commander said solemnly, "Just a month, a year, you have to keep it!" ”

"It's out." Li Yunlong's eyes widened, and he said, "Even if the devil is cast in steel, we have to break off one of his steel teeth!" Damn, I don't believe it yet. ”

……

In Gujiayu Village.

Including Commander Sun Bin, all the soldiers and militia of the Third Division were rushing to repair the fortifications, and Carlson was also digging trenches with an engineering shovel.

Although it has been raining heavily for three or four days in the northwest of Shanxi, the water seepage is not serious.

If you dig up a layer of yellow mud thirty or forty centimeters thick on the surface, the bottom is almost dry, so there is no need to worry about the collapse of tunnels or trenches, which simply do not exist.

But the drainage of trenches and foxholes was a problem.

If it is a slope, the drainage is relatively simple, but if it is on flat ground, drainage becomes a big problem.

For example, the trench that Gu Xiaobei and Carlson are digging now happens to be on a flat ground, and it is definitely not possible to drain water into the tunnel, so it can only accumulate in the trench.

Therefore, to transport the soil back and forth, you can only step on knee-deep stagnant water.

Then, if you are not careful, you will slip under your feet, and you will fall into the muddy water.

By the end of the morning, everyone was mud monkeys, including Carlson.

Gu Xiaobei found Sun Bin and said, "Commander, this can't be done, the comrades are working too hard." ”

"What's the solution?" Sun Bin said with a sad face, "No matter how hard you work, you have to dig it, otherwise the devil will come to the door three days later, but we don't have a fortification to hide, so won't it be the end of the calf?" ”

Gu Xiaobei said: "Commander, I think it can be divided into two steps, first dig a fork hole from the underground tunnel network up, stop after digging to the surface, and wait until the weather is clear, let's dig a trench at the entrance of the cave, and finally dig a foxhole outside the trench, so that the efficiency can be much higher. ”

"That's a good idea." Sun Bin's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

All the warriors went back to the tunnels to dig holes.

It's much drier inside the tunnels.

……

The three sub-divisions of the Northwest Shanxi Military Region, more than 10,000 local troops, and militia dug tunnels, trenches, and foxholes day and night, and four days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past four days, the Wolf Warrior Brigade has been fighting outside.

Find a suitable terrain to ambush during the day, and at night they will attack the camping devils, anyway, I don't sleep when the devils sleep, and I don't sleep if the devils don't sleep.

Except for the occasional nap between battles,

For more than 90 hours, the team members did not sleep a single night.

Just moments earlier, the Wolf Warrior Brigade had attacked another avant-garde unit and delayed the 1st Division for at least two hours, but the Wolf Warrior Brigade could only go so far.

Because not far behind them is the county seat of Laoxian.

Not only the county seat, but the weather has finally cleared.

"Captain, look." Wei Xilai pointed to the eastern sky and said excitedly, "Sun! ”

Including Wang Ye, the team members who were marching on the mountain road turned their heads one after another, but they saw that a red sun had really risen on the horizon in the distance.

Although there are still clouds, they can no longer obscure the sun's brilliance.

"!" Wei Dayong couldn't help but scold, "It's finally sunny!" ”

Duan Peng also said: "If it rains again on this day, people will be moldy." ”

Wang Xikui shook the rain off his body and said, "It's already moldy." ”

While he was talking, the top soldier group had already turned back, and the team leader Liang Jun said: "Captain, there is no suitable terrain in front of you, and you are almost in Lao County." ”

"Have you arrived in Lao County?" Wang Ye said, "Then let's stop here, go back." ”

Wei Dayong whispered: "Captain, this has already arrived in Lao County, why don't we go in and say hello to Commander Ding?" ”

Wang Ye's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and his heart said that if there was no accident, after the completion of this blocking mission, the Northwest Column of Jin Province would definitely break through separately, and after breaking through separately, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie would have to part ways, and when they met again, they would probably have to go to school at the Nanjing Military Academy.

At that moment, Wang Ye called Feng Xianghe over and said, "Mouse, it's time for you to return to the building." ”

"Rebuilt?" Feng Xianghe was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement, "Captain, I'm not in the Wolf Warrior Brigade now, what is it for?" ”

Wang Ye said: "I mean it's time for you to go back to a detachment, if nothing else, after the completion of this blocking mission, our Shanxi Northwest Column will definitely break through separately, then it will definitely encounter all kinds of dangers on the way to break through, so the task of reconnaissance has become crucial, so you have to take a squadron back to a detachment." ”

Feng Xianghe stood up and saluted again: "Captain, then take care." ”

After all, he came out of a new group, and Feng Xianghe had no resistance to returning to the team.

"Take care!" Wang Ye shook hands and hugged Feng Xianghe and the members of the new 1st regiment one by one.

After sending Feng Xianghe and the members of the first team away, Wang Ye called the butcher Yang Hu and the members of the new 2nd regiment to come over, and with the same remarks, he also sent them back to the second team.

In the end, there were only more than 30 people left around Wang Ye.

Wang Ye's gaze swept over, but he saw that Wei Dayong, Wei Xilai, Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng, Duan Peng, Lin Han and other familiar faces, as well as the newly joined Liang Jun, were all there.

Sure enough, people are eccentric.

The elites are all by Wang Ye's side.

……

In Lao County, the North Gate Tower.

Hearing that the devil soldiers were coming to the city and the sky was clear, Ding Wei hurriedly took the chief of staff Li Xiaoxian to the north gate tower.

Standing on the tower of the city and looking down to the north, you can clearly see the parallel Tongpu Highway and Tongpu Railway, but both the railway and the highway have been completely destroyed by them.

"Commander, the devil is here." Li Xiaoxian pointed to the north and said.

There is no need for Li Xiaoxian to remind him, Ding Wei has also seen through the telescope that three devils have gone up to the mountain beam in the north, and behind the mountain beam, because the line of sight is blocked, but he can't see it.

"Only three spearheads came." Ding Wei's guard said.

Ding Wei said: "Chief of Staff, send a platoon to kill these top soldiers and give the devil a meeting gift." ”

However, before the words fell, several gunshots suddenly rang out on the mountain beam in front of them, and then the three devil spearheads had fallen in a pool of blood at the same time.

Ding Wei said: "Chief of Staff, did you send someone?" ”

"I don't." Li Xiaoxian looked confused, and then said, "By the way, it must be someone from the Wolf Warrior Brigade." ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 30 people came out from behind the mountain beam, stepping on the mud and rushing towards the north gate of Lao County.

Still far away, Li Xiaoxian recognized Feng Xianghe and shouted: "Commander, it's a mouse!" It's a mouse! ”

After a while, Feng Xianghe and more than 30 other people came to the north gate, at this time the city gate hole of the north gate had been sealed, but fortunately, there was a tunnel connecting the inside and outside, Ding Wei immediately sent someone to take Feng Xiang and them to the city.

Feng Xiang and them had just entered the city, and a large number of devils appeared on the mountain beam in the north.

The 1st Division, really coming to the city.
