Chapter 481: Farewell Telegram!

Nearly 6,000 Eighth Route Army led by Ding Wei ambushed devil reinforcements from the direction of Ping'an County in a place called Guangou.

Compared to Onomura, the ambush site of Kong Jie's troops, Guangou is an ideal ambush point.

Guangou is actually a canyon, and the road from Heyuan County to Ping'an County passes through the valley floor.

Near the canyon is the standard loess shape of northwest Shanxi, with almost no vegetation, only a few shrubs, and the iron-blue mountain rocks are bare, and there is almost no vegetation.

After the devil's reconnaissance plane flew over, Ding Wei led his troops to approach the ambush site, and they were not very close at first, two kilometers away from the ambush site.

After waiting for the devil's scouts and vanguard troops to pass, Ding Wei ordered the troops to press up.

It didn't take long for about 3,000 devils and puppet armies to spread out.

Next, the artillery group began to exert its strength, and under the continuous shelling of 9 large-caliber heavy guns, 2 105-mm howitzers, and more than 30 75-mm mountain guns, the devil puppet army suffered heavy losses.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry pressed forward, and after more than an hour of fighting, finally annihilated most of the enemy.

Because of the miscooperation of the soldiers of the two companies, the devils of a squadron and a part of the puppet army tore open a hole and fled back to Ping'an County.

However, this is harmless for Ding Wei, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen.

The devil fled back to Ping'an County, and he happened to attack the city anyway.

Therefore, Ding Wei led his troops to attack and advance in the direction of Ping'an County, and destroyed more than 30 ordinary reinforced concrete pillboxes and artillery towers along the way, and it didn't take long for the troops to come to the city of Ping'an County.

……

Heyuan County, outside the West City.

The battle went exceptionally well, almost as a one-sided massacre.

With the combat effectiveness of the new regiment, the 224th squadron of the 3rd Wing was quickly eliminated, the city walls were occupied, and the retreat of the devils was completely cut off.

In addition, heavy firepower such as machine guns and anti-aircraft guns continue to be output, and the long-range artillery fire support of the two artillery battalions.

More than 2,000 devils rushed out of Xicheng and were annihilated in less than half an hour.

Wei Dayong, the battalion commander of the 2nd Division outside the East City Gate, also reported that he had repelled the devils who tried to break through twice, and the devils suffered great losses.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Wei and Kong Jie successively reported good news and killed a large number of devils.

Li Yunlong was still very relieved about Ding Wei and Kong Jie's tactical command ability, and among the commanders of the entire Eighth Route Army, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were ranked first.

At this point, Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief, and the overall situation was almost decided.

Today's battle alone has already inflicted heavy losses on the 36th Division, and the main force of the 36th Division has been wiped out, which means that 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1,000 tons of food have been received.

Li Yunlong expected a hard battle, and he was ready for a hard battle.

There are more than 7,000 devils and puppet soldiers in Heyuan County, and Li Yunlong is ready to suffer at least 5,000 casualties in attacking Heyuan County.

But Li Yunlong didn't expect the devil to break through so early, and directly hit the muzzle and muzzle of the new regiment.

The aerial bombs dropped by the devil's plane caused some damage to the new group.

But instead of diving and dropping bombs accurately, the devil planes dropped bombs at high altitudes, and they dropped bombs under a powerful anti-aircraft fire net.

Some devil pilots dropped the bomber's aerial bomb before they could take aim, and then hurriedly pulled the plane into the clouds.

This led to a very low hit rate of aerial bombs dropped by devil planes.

After the battle outside the city, the warriors began to clean up the battlefield.

Xing Zhiguo's eyes looked at the devil tank that was burning.

The devil's infantry coordination is a little something, but there are not many, and the dense devil infantry follows behind the tank and wants to rely on the tank to fight a bloody way, which hardly plays a role.

Although the fighters in the third-tier Bazooka are not very accurate, they can't stand the large number of rocketeers and Bazooka.

Xing Zhi said in Chinese with pity: "These tanks are burned like this, it's a pity, if they can be captured by us, they can still make a tank company." ”

"It's a pity, it's just a little devil's tank." Li Yunlong looked calm, "It's small and thin, and the firepower is like that, so we can only bully our poorly equipped troops." ”

As the equipment provided by Boss Chen became better and better, Li Yunlong's vision had already improved and he became very picky.

If you want to change to another unit, under the cover of 12 tanks and more than 20 devil planes, maybe you can really let the devils break through.

However, Li Yunlong's tactics of flattening the anti-aircraft artillery completely shattered the devils' dreams of breaking through, turning the devils into minced meat, fulfilling their dreams of broken jade.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "These 12 tanks can be regarded as a tank squadron, and they can exchange 8 75mm mountain guns from Brother Chen." ”

Hearing this, Xing Zhiguo immediately didn't feel a pity, maybe after this battle, the new regiment would be able to get tanks from Brother Chen's aid.

As they spoke, they raised their binoculars and looked at the battlefield.

As far as the eye can see, the entire battlefield has become a mess.

The lucky devil also has a whole corpse, the unlucky devil didn't even leave a whole corpse, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, a lump of internal organs on the left, a amputated limb in the west, and a foot on the intestines with bad luck can step on the intestines, and the feces in the intestines burst instantly, and the scene is extremely disgusting.

When many recruits of the Third Division saw this scene, they vomited out the meat sandwich cakes they had eaten at noon on the spot, and they had to continue to clean the battlefield after vomiting.

Although the recruits had participated in several battles before and had seen disgusting scenes, they were nothing compared to the current scene.

However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were calm as usual.

The battlefield is like this, and they have all seen scenes more disgusting than this.

Not only Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, but even the veterans such as squad leaders, platoon commanders and company commanders were all unresponsive, urging the recruits to clean up the battlefield quickly.

At this time, street fighting continued in the city, and the sound of explosions and gunfire was intense.

Li Yunlong held the binoculars, but his face showed a touch of expectation, and the devil played a trick to attack the east and west, wanting to break through the west city gate.

Then, there is a high probability that the division commander Jing Guanqian is among this batch of devils...

……

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

Within half an hour, bad news reached the headquarters one after another.

"It is reported that the 222nd Wing was shelled in Xiaoye Village, twenty kilometers northwest of Anhua County."

"Report, the 223rd Wing was ambushed in the area of Guangou, fifteen kilometers southwest of Ping'an County!"

After receiving these two news, Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't feel anything, and the Eighth Route Army's encirclement and reinforcements were expected.

At most, it's a dozen blockades.

The main infantry and main artillery of the new regiment are in Heyuan County, unless there are 2 or 3 times the strength, plus strong artillery firepower, there is a chance to eat these two reinforcements.

However, Iwamatsu Yoshio did not know that Ding Wei's new second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment had already been expanded, each with an artillery battalion.

The size of each artillery battalion is comparable to that of an artillery wing of the Japanese army, and in addition to Li Yunlong's transfer of heavy artillery to support, the firepower of this artillery is already stronger than that of the artillery wing of the permanent division of the Japanese army.

Immediately afterward, worse news reached the command.

"Report, there was an artillery wing of the 222nd Wing that shelled it, in which there were large-caliber heavy artillery!"

"Report, there is an artillery wing ambushing the 223rd Wing, which has large-caliber heavy artillery, and the Eighth Route Army has at least 6,000 people!"

When Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanaya Masashi and others heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

There are at least 6,000 people in the artillery wing, large-caliber heavy artillery, and the Eighth Route Army, which is here to eliminate reinforcements!

According to this calculation, there were 12,000 people from the Eighth Route Army who participated in the ambush, and there were more than 10,000 people in Heyuan County.

The Eighth Route Army also had to send troops to block the 3rd Brigade and guard against reinforcements from Taiyuan.

According to this calculation, the strength of the Eighth Route is probably close to 30,000!

"It can't be!" Iwamatsu Yoshio said loudly, "Where did the Eighth Route Army come from so many troops, coming out of the soil?" ”

Masao Hanatani, Masao Miyazaki, and a group of operational staff officers were unable to reply to Iwamatsu Yoshio's words.

The War Room fell into a deathly silence.

"Report to the General!"

Communications staff officer Takeo Nakamura held a telegram in his hand, walked in with a panicked expression, and reported to Iwamatsu Yoshio: "The communications team belonging to the 36th Division, Saburo Mase, has sent a farewell telegram!" ”

"What, farewell telegram?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu suddenly turned around, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Hey!" Takeo Nakamura immediately confirmed, "Farewell telegram, farewell telegram from the 36th Division!" ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio snatched the telegram from Takeo Nakamura's hand, only to see that there were only 6 words on the telegram: farewell telegram, finally

The fact that the telegram was only two words long, and that the rest of the telegram was gone, suggesting that the telegraph operator had suffered an accident after only sending these two words, either the telegraph was broken or the telegraph operator died.

But the four words of farewell telegram already mean everything.

Lieutenant General Iseki and the Locust Army Gate that broke through are most likely loyal to the Great Japanese Locust.

The entire war hall fell into deathly silence again!

This is another Japanese lieutenant general who was killed by Li Yunlong in the new regiment.

This pair of newly appointed Iwamatsu Yoshio was like a bolt from the blue to the headquarters of the First Army and even the entire First Army.

Iwamatsu Yoshio's face was pale, his body was shaky, and Hanaya hurriedly supported him, and asked in a concerned tone, "Your Excellency Commander, are you okay?" ”

"Hanaya-kun, I'm fine!" Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand, looked at Takeo Nakamura, and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell happened, with tank squadrons and aircraft covering, how could Lieutenant General Iseki fail to break through, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Hey!" Nakamura Takeo lowered his head and tried to keep his tone as smooth as possible, "I have already contacted the reconnaissance plane, according to the reconnaissance aircraft observer, the flight team directly under the North China Front attacked the defensive position of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the flight team was shot down 4 planes and damaged 2 planes, and then the Eighth Route Army used anti-tank weapons, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns and other heavy anti-tank weapons aimed at the imperial tanks and imperial infantry that broke through..."

Although the devil's fighters and bombers flew away, the devil's reconnaissance plane still hovered at high altitude in Heyuan County to observe the battle situation.

When Yoshio Iwamatsu heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Yaga!"

"Yaga!"

Every time he yelled, his palms slapped on the desk, and the whole desk was about to crumble.

After slamming the table three times, Iwamatsu Yoshio said with tears in his eyes: "It's okay to use machine guns and anti-aircraft guns against tanks, if you use them to shoot infantry, people like Li Yunlong should go to court-martial!" ”
