Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

Seizo reported to Okamura Ninji: "Hayashi Fangjun and Takeshita-kun have just sent a telegram saying that the 110th Division and the 27th Division have been blocked on the southern edge of the Wohu Mountains, and they have invested the forces of two infantry wings to launch a continuous onslaught, but after a fierce battle all afternoon, they have not been able to advance an inch. ”

"Huh?" Okamura Ningji Huo Ran got up, "You can't even advance an inch after an afternoon of fierce fighting?" ”

"Yes." Yousue Jingsan said with a dark face, "The fortifications built by the 386th Brigade in the Crouching Tiger Mountains are the same as the fortifications in Yunqi Town and Tiandagang, and the scope is larger, Lin Fangjun and Takeshita-kun have sent troops to make a detour, but after a detour, they found that there will still be the same fortifications blocking the way." ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Is that the cave fortification?" ”

"Yes." There are three ways of the end of the essence, "It is the almost ubiquitous cave fortifications throughout the mountainous area, and these caves are connected to the tunnels, the Eighth Route Army can realize the rapid transfer of personnel and equipment through the tunnels, and can also launch a counterattack against the imperial army from the tunnels, so it is useless for the imperial army to occupy part of the caves." ”

At this time, Takuya Mizuhara finally found an opportunity to interject and said: "Your Excellency, General, according to the information obtained by our gendarmerie, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army seems to call this set of tactics a groundhog tactic. ”

"Groundhog tactics?" Okamura Ninji snorted and said, "The name is quite apt. ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "Not only is the name apt, this tactic is still very powerful, it can perfectly circumvent the firepower advantage of the imperial army, artillery below 105mm caliber is almost useless, unless the imperial army uses large-caliber heavy artillery or heavy aerial bombs, it is not enough to threaten the individual soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the cave." ”

"Large-caliber heavy artillery?" Okamura Ninji's face became extremely embarrassed.

Because the 3rd Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery had just suffered a heavy blow at five o'clock this morning.

As for the heavy bombs, it goes without saying that the tunnel fortifications of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are all over the northwest of Shanxi, where did the aviation get so many heavy bombs? There is also not enough gas.

Takuya Mizuhara said: "I have studied this tactic and found that there are only two ways to crack it, one is the earthwork industry, using tunnels to tunnels, in fact, it is the local method of dealing with groundhogs in our countryside, that is, to dig the holes in the ground, so that it completely loses its concealment, so that the Eighth Route Army is also exposed to the warp fire of the imperial army, mortars, grenadiers and even infantry guns and other curved firepower can cause accurate killing. ”

"But earthwork is too time-consuming." Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "What about the second way?" ”

Takuya Mizuhara said: "The second way is to go back in time, I don't believe that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army can build the entire Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain into such fortifications." ”

Seizo said: "The 110th Division and the 27th Division sent troops to make a roundabout. ”

"That's just because the detour wasn't far enough." Takuya Mizuhara said, "You can continue to take a detour in the distance." ”

Okamura Ninji asked, "With Sue-kun, how far did the 110th Division and the 27th Division make a detour on both sides?" ”

"This ......" has three ways of the end essence, "Lin Fangjun and Takeshita-kun didn't say it, maybe more than ten kilometers." ”

After a pause, Yusue Seizan said again: "Otherwise, I will send a telegram to Lin Fangjun and Takeshita-kun, and ask them to immediately send troops to reconnoiter farther away." ”

"It's too time-consuming to send infantry reconnaissance."

After a pause, Okamura Ninji said again, "There is Sue-kun, immediately call the 9th Flying Team and ask them to arrange a reconnaissance plane, and I will fly to the Crouching Tiger Mountains in person." ”

"No, Your Excellency, it's too dangerous."

Yusue Jingsan said in a deep voice: "Or I'll go." ”

Hearing that Okamura Ninji was going to personally fly to the northwest of Jin to carry out aerial reconnaissance, Yoshimoto Sadachi and others also stopped him.

"You're going?" Okamura Ninji still recognized the ability of Yusue Seizo, so he agreed immediately, and said, "You can go, and report the observations to me at any time." ”

……

Crouching Tiger Mountain, on a nameless hill.

Wang Ye took Wei Xilai and Duan Peng to lurk on this nameless hill.

From this hill, you can just overlook the battlefield on the hillside below.

Through the scope on the sniper rifle, you can clearly see the repeated attacks of the Japanese army on the nameless mountain village below, but they were easily defused by the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division.

The 1st Battalion was accompanied by several other district squads.

All the troops added up to more than 1,000 people.

However, with the perfect tunnel fortifications and marmot tactics, they were stunned to block the onslaught of the two infantry wings of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army did not make any progress for a whole afternoon.

Wei Xilai said: "Captain, this groundhog tactics are really powerful, and the devil has been beaten miserably." ”

"Little Gray, show me your sniper scope." Duan Peng didn't have a sniper scope or a telescope, but he couldn't help but want to see the scene of the Japanese army being defeated, so he begged Wei Xi to come.

But Wei Xilai refused to borrow it, and refused without thinking: "Don't give it." ”

"It's stingy." Duan Peng said, "I'll just take a look, and I won't be able to do anything, can I lose a layer of skin or what?" ”

"If you don't give, you don't give, and you won't give it if you say it's broken." Wei Xilai was not moved at all, but just watched the scene of the Japanese army retreating through the scope.

Wang Ye really couldn't look at it, so he handed the telescope to Duan Peng.

"Thank you, Captain, hehe." Duan Peng grinned and took it.

This time, Duan Peng got his wish, and finally saw the scene of the devil retreating.

But after seeing it clearly, Duan Peng was disappointed, and immediately scolded: "Little Gray Ash, you are playing a dog's day, although the devil has been repulsed, but he is not embarrassed at all?" There weren't a few deaths at all. ”

"I said you would believe it?" Wei Xilai sneered, "Are you a pig brain?" ”

"!" Duan Peng was speechless, what else could he say? I let a little kid play it.

Wei Xilai asked Wang Ye the deepest question in his heart again, and asked: "Captain, this groundhog tactic doesn't look very powerful, a single fortification is easy to be occupied by devils, but why does it become more powerful when there are more of them, and no matter how the devils fight, they can't beat it." ”

"It's called Infinite Defense." Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's not difficult for a devil to capture a single fortification, and it's easy to even capture dozens of fortifications, but what about a hundred?" Hundreds, thousands? People have psychological limits, and no matter what they do, they can't repeat it indefinitely, otherwise they will definitely have a psychological breakdown. ”

"In addition, the ammunition carried by the devil's individual soldiers is also limited."

"It's no problem to capture a few, dozens of fortifications, but as soon as there are too many of them, there will be not enough ammunition, so you can only retreat."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye said again: "Of course, the most important thing is that after the devils retreat, we will soon be able to restore the lost fortifications, and everything will return to the original state, which is the most fatal blow to the morale of the Japanese army, and it is easy for people to be psychologically exhausted and slack." ”

Wang Ye didn't say that the blocking battles in the Wohu Mountains and Jiugong Mountains, and even the previous blocking battles in Yunqi Town and Tiandagang were actually a copy of the Tieyuan Resistance Battle, or a strengthened version.

Although the combat effectiveness of the local armed forces of the three military subdivisions in the northwest of Shanxi Province cannot be compared with that of the 63rd Army of the Volunteer Army, the fortification system in the Wohu Mountains and Jiugong Mountains is much more complete than that in Tieyuan.

The 63rd Army was able to block the four divisions of the Drifting Army in Tieyuan for 12 days, killing and wounding more than 15,000 Drifting Army, so the troops of the three military divisions in the northwest of Shanxi Province blocked the four mountain divisions of the Japanese army in the Wohu Mountains and the Jiugong Mountains for half a month, and there was no problem at all.

As Wang Ye spoke, the Japanese attack force retreated like a tide.

Immediately, the troops of the 2nd Division recovered all the stragglers that had been lost.

Some of the tunnels connecting the foxholes were blown up by Japanese explosives packs, but they were quickly re-dug by the militia that cooperated with the operation, and the local troops of the 2nd Division soon entered the foxholes.

The Japanese army had no way to do this, although their mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars and grenadiers were all aimed at the defensive positions of the second division, but it was useless, because the local troops and militia of the second division did not go to the ground at all, and they all completed personnel scheduling through tunnels, so the artillery units of the devils could only stare dryly.

Seeing this, Wang Ye relieved himself and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no problem." ”

Before the words fell, a buzzing roar suddenly sounded in the southeast sky.

"Devil plane!" Wei Xilai looked up suddenly, saw it clearly, and then said, "There is only one reconnaissance plane!" ”

Wang Ye looked up, and sure enough, he saw a Type 97 Nakajima reconnaissance combat plane flying towards this side, and the flight altitude of the devil reconnaissance plane was not high, but unfortunately it was far away.

Wei Xi said, "Captain, do you want to him?" ”

"It's too far away." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Waste of bullets." ”

Wei Xilai regretfully put down the sniper rifle and watched the devil plane fly by.

Another half an hour passed, and just as Wang Ye was about to get up and leave, the buzzing roar suddenly sounded again.

This time, it was Duan Peng who was the first to discover the devil plane, and said in a low voice: "Captain, it was the reconnaissance plane just now, and the dog flew back again, it seems that it is reconnoitring our position." ”

Wei Xilai also shouted: "Captain, the devil plane is coming towards us." ”

When Wang Ye turned his head to look, he really saw that the Nakajima reconnaissance plane just now flew straight towards them.

Obviously, because the three of them were wearing camouflage, the devil pilot did not notice their existence, so not only did they not fly very high, but they were not far from the small hill where they were hiding.

Wang Ye estimated that if the devil reconnaissance plane kept its flight path unchanged, then when it swept over the small hill where they were hiding, the distance would be at most 500 meters!

At that moment, Wang Ye shouted in a low voice: "Little Gray Ash, you hit the fuel tank, I hit the pilot!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Xilai replied in a low voice, and immediately raised the sniper rifle in his hand.

Wang Ye also raised his rifle and locked onto the pilot in the cockpit through the scope.

However, at the moment when Wang Ye pulled the trigger, his heart suddenly moved.

Wang Ye clearly remembered that Okamura Ningji, an old devil, liked to take a plane to the front line to reconnoitre.

During the Nanxun Campaign, the Japanese 11th Army was beaten to the ground by the troops of the Ninth Theater commanded by Xue Yue, and in the end, it was Okamura Ninji who personally flew over Jiujiang on a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance, and finally discovered the loopholes in the defense of the national army, and then ordered the Japanese 106th Division to break through from it, causing great passivity to the national army.

However, Xue Yue was not easy to mess with, and adjusted his deployment in time to give Okamura Ningji a backhand blow, and almost annihilated the 106th Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop, which was the famous Wanjialing victory.

It can be seen that Okamura Ninji really likes to take a plane to the front line to conduct reconnaissance.

At that moment, Wang Ye's muzzle moved back slightly, aiming at the devil pilot sitting in the rear cabin.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the reconnaissance planes that were skimming at high speed against the ridge slowed down, so slow that Wang Ye seemed to be able to see the outline of the plane's propellers clearly.

Wang Ye gently pressed the trigger of the rifle.

"Horn hook! Horn hook! Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

Through the scope, Wang Ye clearly saw that the pilot's head in the back seat suddenly tilted to one side.

In the next moment, the entire Nakajima reconnaissance plane in the field of vision burst into a large fireball, but it was hit by Wei Xilai in the fuel tank and exploded in the air.

"Ding!" There was another soft thud, and then a pleasant metallic sound sounded again.

"Kill the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front, there is the end of the essence three, and reward a golden treasure chest!"

"Hahahaha, I hit!" The next moment, Wei Xilai's excited shout sounded in his ears, "Captain, I shot down another devil reconnaissance plane, hahahaha!" ”

Wang Ye said happily: "Okay, tonight I will reward you with two taels of melon roast." ”

"It's only two?" Wei Xilai said, "Captain, is it okay to be half a catty?" ”

"You want half a catty?" Wang Ye smiled and said, "Okay, then change it to a reward of half a catty of dried sweet potatoes." ”

"Huh?" Wei Xilai's face fell, no, what I want is half a catty of sweet potatoes to burn, not half a catty of dried sweet potatoes, captain, aren't you a scoundrel?

Duan Peng let out a gloating laugh.

Let you be a dog, and now you will be punished.

……

Taiyuan, the combat hall of the headquarters of the 1st Army.

According to the immediate report provided by Seizo Arisue, Masao Inamori, the commander of the Operations Division of the 1st Army, had already presented the defensive deployment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the Crouching Tiger Mountains on the sand table.

Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice: "Judging from the sand table, the fortifications of the 386th Brigade do not completely cover the entire mountainous area, but only rely on the towns, townships, and villages in the mountainous area for point-like deployment. ”

"That's normal, too." Yoshimoto said, "The Crouching Tiger Mountains are more than 100 kilometers in circumference, if all of them are built into such fortifications, what a huge project it must be?" ”

Okamura added: "Almost every small village has a small defensive position on the periphery of the village, and more than 1,000 foxholes have been dug based on the original tunnel system. ”

"On the periphery of the large village are medium-sized defensive positions with thousands of foxholes."

"Around several market towns are large positions, with more than 5,000 foxholes."

"But the fortifications of small villages, large villages and large market towns have formed a chain of fortifications."

Speaking of this, Okamura Ningji pointed to the sand table again and said: "This chain of fortifications completely locks the Crouching Tiger Mountains, and there is no gap in the middle, but if the imperial army tries to pass through the gap in the middle, the troops can only set up a long snake formation, and it is easy to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and it will fall into a dilemma that is difficult to take care of." ”

Yoshimoto Sadami sighed and said: "The results of the 110th Division and the 27th Division attacking for an afternoon without an inch have fully proved that in the face of the tactics of the 386th Brigade, a strong attack is not possible, so only by adopting the method of earthwork to advance little by little, it will take a long time, at least two months." ”

"Two months is too long." Okamura Ningji shook his head, turned around and walked to the high-power walkie-talkie, and took the walkie-talkie from the hand of the head of the communications section, Yasushi Inoue, "Moses Moses, there is a late monarch, the reconnaissance of the Crouching Tiger Mountain area is over, and there is no need to go to the Jiugong Mountain area, you go directly to the plain area in the middle of Lao County, Ping'an County and Anhua County......"

While the old devil was talking, there was a sudden bang on the other side, and the communication was cut off.

Okamura Ninji was stunned for a moment, and continued to call into the walkie-talkie: "Moses Moses, is there a last king?" ”

However, there was no response from the other side, and only the blind sound of the beep continued to come.

Okamura Ninji instantly realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered Inoue Yasushi to contact the 110th Division on the front line of Wohu Mountain.

Soon, the report of the 110th Division arrived, and the Type 97 Nakajima reconnaissance plane in which Seizo was riding was shot down and exploded in the air while conducting reconnaissance in the Crouching Tiger Mountains.

Obviously, Seizo Yusue must have been killed.

"Yaga!" After the speculation was confirmed, Okamura Ninji's lungs exploded.

First the division commander of the 28th Division, Ishiguro Sadazo, then the 73rd Division's Yoshio Ando and Kamei Kazuhide, the 74th Division's Takamura Yoshiro, and then the 2nd Cavalry Brigade Miyamoto Katsuo, and now the deputy chief of staff, Seizo Arisue...... Since the beginning of the sweeping operation against the northwest of Jin, six generals have been killed!

The losses of the participating troops are still secondary, and even the casualties of the generals are so high that they are simply terrifying!

Yasushi Inoue said again: "Your Excellency, there are eyewitnesses from the 110th Division who reported that it was a sniper of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army who shot down the reconnaissance plane that General Aru was riding. ”

"That's probably not your average sniper." Yoshimoto said, "It should have been Wang Ye's special forces." ”

"Yes, it must have been Wang Ye's special forces." Takuya Mizuhara nodded, "There is no one else but him." ”

"Wang Ye, Wang Ye, this Wang Ye again!" Okamura Ninji gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, one day, I will catch this person and break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”

After a pause, he said: "No, it's not sooner or later, but this time you have to catch him, you have to!" Then hang him up, and I'm going to cut his throat with my own hands with my saber! ”

……

At this time, in the Crouching Tiger Mountains.

There is a loud singing voice echoing in the bare loess mountains.

The team members who embarked on the return journey were singing the military song that Wang Ye taught them.

"The red glow flies in the west mountain at sunset, and the soldiers shoot targets and return the camp to the camp."

"The red flowers on the chest reflect the colorful glow, and the happy singing is flying all over the sky, and the chatter is shivering, and the chatter is shining."

Singing this, Wei Xilai suddenly said to Wang Ye happily: "Captain, I shot down a devil plane this time, shouldn't the commander reward me with a big red flower?" ”

"Want big red flowers? Okay, turn around and let the commander reward you. ”

Wang Ye responded casually, but his attention was focused on the pile of golden treasure chests in the corner of his field of vision.

Up to now, he has accumulated nine golden treasure chests, and only one is missing from being able to synthesize the Supreme Treasure Chest.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye had a strong impulse in his heart, should he try to sneak into the devil barracks tonight and kill another devil general?

Although there will be dangers, what if the combined Supreme Treasure Chest opens a bullet-level physique? Then he can kill a division alone! It's inexplicably exciting to think about.

However, Wang Ye thinks that there should be no such good thing?

Because so far, this dog system has hardly helped him substantially.

Other people's systems provide dozens or hundreds of tons of munitions, and no matter how bad they are, they can provide potatoes, rice, and other provisions, but their systems only provide skills, and the conditions are harsh to death.

So according to this logic, there is no need to think about bullet-level physique.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye dispelled the idea of risking to sneak into the devil's military camp.

It is said that it is a hundred and a half ninety, and it looks like he is about to gather ten golden treasure chests, but it turns out that the boat capsized in the gutter, which is called injustice, and he Wang Ye does not do such a stupid thing.

Wei Xilai said again: "Captain, in addition to the big red flower, there is also sweet potato roast. ”

"Fart's sweet potato burn." Duan Peng said, "Dried sweet potato, half a catty of dried sweet potato." ”

"." Wei Xilai didn't have a good breath and said, "You rookie egg, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”

"Hey, you only joined the army a few days before me?" Duan Peng's most disgusted thing was that others said that he was a recruit, and he was immediately annoyed, "Are you embarrassed to say that I am a recruit?" ”

"If you enlist a day earlier, you're also a veteran." Wei Xilai said, "What do you want to rebel about, you recruit eggs, you want to salute when you see the veterans, hurry up, give me a military salute." ”

"Get out." Duan Peng scolded, "I won't give you a salute." ”

"Hey, dare to be rude to a veteran?" Wei Xilai said angrily, "Go back and tell Brother Yong and let him clean you up." ”

"Just the monk's three-legged cat's kung fu, and still clean me up?" Duan Peng said, "I'm almost cleaning him up, if the captain hadn't called to stop last time, I would have beaten him down a long time ago." ”

Listening to Wei Xilai and Duan Peng arguing there, Wang Ye's heart was relaxed.

So far, the threat of the Wohu Mountains and the Jiugong Mountains has been basically lifted, and it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to break through the triangular defense line formed by Laoxian, Ping'an County, and Anhua County in a short period of time, so there should be no problem, and the more than one million people trapped in the vicinity of Wanmadu can calmly cross the river and move.

……

Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Tower.

Chang Kaishen went out for a busy day, and when he returned to Yunxiu Tower, it was already evening.

After a hurried dinner, Chang Kaishen came to the battle hall on the first floor again, he was most concerned about this battle in the northwest of Jin, and he had to ask about the latest movements of the battle in the northwest of Jin every day before he could sleep.

When Chang Kaishen walked into the battle hall, Chu Yunfei, Tang Zong, and several staff officers were busy.

Seeing Chang Kaishen coming in, Tang Zong, Chu Yunfei and several staff officers hurriedly stood up: "Principal." ”

Waving his hand, Chang Kaishen asked, "Naijian, Yunfei, what progress can be made in the northwest of Jin on this day?" ”

Chu Yunfei didn't speak, and finally Tang Zong reported: "Principal, according to the information provided by the Taiyuan Station of the Military Commander, the Japanese army has encountered great trouble, and after the 1st Division of Laoxian County was heavily damaged, Okamura Ningji invested four mountain divisions in advance and launched an attack on the Crouching Tiger Mountain and Jiugong Mountain from the north and south flanks. ”

"Okamura Ninji's intention is very clear, that is, to detour behind the 386th Brigade."

"Since there are 386 Brigade firmly guarding Lao County, Ping'an County and Anhua County, then directly hit the back."

"As long as the so-called base area behind the 386th Brigade is destroyed and the arsenal is destroyed, the 386th Brigade will basically lose its ability to continue fighting."

Chang Kaishen said: "There is nothing wrong with this idea. ”

"Yes, there is no problem with Okamura's train of thought." Tang Zongdao, "But in the process of specific implementation, we encountered a lot of trouble. ”

"Trouble?" Chang Kaishen said, "What's the trouble? ”

"It's the same groundhog tactic I mentioned a few days ago." Chu Yunfei continued, "With this groundhog tactic, the 386th Brigade successfully blocked the four mountain divisions on the north and south flanks. ”

Tang Zong continued: "After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army could not advance an inch. ”

"What?" Chang Kaishen shouted in disappointment, "The Japanese army is not allowed to advance an inch? ”

"Yes, not an inch." Tang Zong said, "That's why I said that the Japanese army was in big trouble." ”

After a pause, he said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no problem at all for the 386th Brigade to hold the northwest of Shanxi for half a month, and after all the people in the northwest of Shanxi are transferred, the 386th Brigade should break through from the front." ”

Chu Yunfei said: "If the 386th Brigade breaks through, the Japanese army will never be able to stop it. ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen became more and more disappointed when he heard this, "Doesn't this mean that the Japanese army has been busy for so long, and the final result is equal to zero?" ”

"That can't be said either." Chu Yunfei said, "The results of the battle are still there, at least the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was driven away from the northwest border area of Shanxi, and the arsenal was also destroyed by the Japanese army." ”

Chang Kaishen said: "But the 386th Brigade is unscathed!" ”

Chu Yunfei said: "It is impossible to be unscathed, but it is true that the loss is limited." ”

Tang Zong sighed: "After the battle in the northwest of Jinxi is over, Chen Gen and his 386th Brigade should be famous all over the world. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have to wait until this battle is over." Chang Kaishen said with a depressed face, "Chen Gen and his 386th Brigade have already been famous all over the world, no, they are famous all over the world!" ”

Speaking of this, Chang Kaishen was like eating a fly.

This time, he went to the Fan Mansion to participate in foreign affairs activities, and found that almost all the diplomatic envoys of the Western countries attending the meeting were talking about Chen Gen and the 386th Brigade, as well as the Northwest Jin Campaign.

Speaking of the brilliant achievements of the 386th Brigade, they all gave a thumbs up.

Some diplomatic envoys who didn't know the specific situation even ran to him to congratulate him, Niang Xipi, what is there to congratulate?

At that moment, Chang Kaishen said a little unwillingly: "Is there really nothing the Japanese army can do?" ”

ps: The number of words is less than two chapters, so I simply combine them into one chapter.
