On the hill.

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Watch as tanks, armored vehicles, and cavalry roll back and forth in the encirclement, reaping the lives of devils like iron rolls.

Until a few hours later, there were not many devils left alive.

Although there are still sporadic battles, there are not many of them, and it will not be long before the battle is completely over.

At this time, it was not yet dark, looking at the corpses of devils all over the ground in the field of vision of the artillery team, as well as the dense shell craters.

Li Yunlong was full of emotion in his heart, but it was a pity that the ink in his stomach was really limited, not to mention that he wrote poems himself, and he couldn't even read a single sentence of other people's poems.

"This iron-rolled sweeping tactic is really powerful."

Looking at this big battlefield, Ding Wei commented: "Okamura Ningji, this old devil is a bit powerful. ”

The battle, which was expected to end in half a day to a day, was almost over in just a few hours.

In the beginning.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were both skeptical about this tactic, after all, Li Yunlong was also using this tactic for the first time, but they still believed in Li Yunlong unconditionally.

To be honest, Li Yunlong himself was a little drumming about this tactic in his heart, but fortunately, the result did not disappoint him.

Although there were casualties among cavalry and tanks, as well as armored vehicles, and some of them were blown up by the impact of the devil's flesh bullets, the casualties were within acceptable limits.

The armor protection of tanks and armored vehicles was very good, and the casualties of tank and armored troops were not large.

And the tanks and armored vehicles destroyed in the battle can be reported to Boss Chen, so that Boss Chen can reimburse.

On top of that, in battles with the First Division, heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery were reimbursed twice.

Moreover, by destroying or capturing a ghost car, tank or armored car, a new regiment can get a car, tank or armored car.

This business is customized according to the standards of the second-line division, and if you destroy or capture a ghost car, tank or armored car of a division regiment, you can get two cars, tanks or armored vehicles.

The same is true for cannons with a caliber of less than 150 mm, destroying and capturing a 75-mm mountain gun of a devil can obtain two American 75-mm mountain guns.

In the field of view of the artillery team, I watched the burning and destroyed ghost cars, tanks and armored vehicles.

There are also tanks and armored vehicles that have not been destroyed, and the captured ones can still be used, and the captured ones can still have business.

The devil's cars that weren't destroyed were all loaded with war materials.

The corners of Grand Master Li's mouth turned up slightly, this battle has made a fortune!

Hearing Ding Wei's words, Li Yunlong came back to his senses and asked, "Old Ding, what did you just say?" ”

"I said." Ding Wei said, "Okamura Ningji, this old devil is a bit powerful, there are not many people who can come up with this kind of tactic and make Lao Tzu feel powerful, Okamura, this old devil is one." ”

Ding Wei is also an arrogant person.

However, looking at Li Yunlong's silly expression just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

This kid is still that virtuous.

Now commanding the main force of the 50,000 Eighth Route Army to fight, in addition to aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, destroy and capture the altars and jars, see this kid is happy.

No matter how rich he is, this kid will not be able to change the strength in his bones.

"Okamura Ninji, this old devil is a fart."

Grand Master Li said in a disdainful tone: "No matter how powerful this old devil is, it's not that we have been tricked around, maybe the old devil of Okamura Ningji is really Boss Chen's senior agent." ”

Of course, Li Yunlong was joking.

Okamura Ningji, the old devil, still has something, otherwise he would not be the commander of the North China Front, and even later became the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was hired by President Chang as a secret military adviser to the national army.

However, at the moment, Okamura Ninji is being played around, and that is also a fact.

Kong Jie pursed his lips: "If it weren't for the weapons, ammunition and intelligence provided by Boss Chen, what would you do with Okamura Ningji?" ”

"Okamura Ninji has nearly 200,000 Japanese elites in his hands."

"Hmph."

"As for the new regiment you used to have, Okamura Ningji casually sent a second-line division and wiped out Ling."

"I said you're dumbfounded." Li Yunlong scolded, "Which side the hell are you from, how can you purify the morale of your mother's long-term enemies and destroy your own prestige?" ”

"Lao Li." Kong Jie hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that......"

At this moment, a telegraph came over with a telegram in his hand and gave Li Yunlong a military salute:

"Report to the regimental commander, Jinchaji Military Region, independent 2nd Brigade telegram."

Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at it, and said: "The 2nd Independent Brigade has withdrawn from the ambush position to a safe area. ”

Although the equipment of the 2nd Independent Brigade has been strengthened, it mainly uses Japanese equipment and artillery firepower, and it is certainly not the opponent of the 26th Division.

What's more, there is also a heavy artillery wing in Datong.

At first, the task of the 2nd Brigade was to hold off the 26th Division for a few hours.

However, there have been some changes in the battlefield situation here, and the devils fled thousands of people and went in the direction of Datong, so the 2nd Brigade had to evacuate.

"Since there is no independent 2nd brigade to block the attack." Zhao Gang put down the binoculars and said, "Calculate the time, the 26th Division should be about to arrive, right?" ”

The straight-line distance of the entire ambush battlefield is about 7 kilometers.

However, the road is not a straight line and there are quite a few curves, so the total length is more than 10 kilometers.

The new regiment could have retreated now, but Li Yunlong was reluctant to capture them.

Of the more than 800 trucks of the 1st Division, it is estimated that only half of them were destroyed, but some of them were destroyed, but about half of them were not destroyed.

These trucks were loaded with war materiel.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the 1st Division are also first-class among the Japanese army, and after cleaning the battlefield, these weapons, ammunition, and war materials can be transported back, which can equip the militia units of tens of thousands of people.

Why tens of thousands of people?

Because a few people in the militia and one gun are enough.

"It should be almost there." Li Yunlong looked at his watch and looked fierce, "Let's go and meet the 26th Division for a while." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong led everyone towards the bottom of the mountain, and then the former enemy's general headquarters also began to move.

……

After receiving an order from the command of the North China Front.

The commander of the 26th Division, Shigetoku Kuroda, led the 26th Division, the Suzuki Wing, and the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing on a rapid march.

It took a full four hours to finally approach the ambush site.

There are still six kilometers from the ambush site.

Shigetoku Kuroda and Mitsuo Nakazawa were sitting in an armored car when the armored car was parked on the side of the road, and an operational staff officer reported to Shigetoku Kuroda:

"Report to the commander of the division, the 1st Infantry Brigade is 2 kilometers ahead, and has found the enemy's ambush position, but the enemy has already left, and the 1st Brigade Commander Yamada Shaoza judged that the enemy has been away for more than 2 hours, and the strength is not less than 5,000 people."

After Mitsuo Nakazawa returned to the airport by plane, he caught up in a car.

Command of the Suzuki Wing and the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing was taken back from Kuroda Shigetoku.

To prevent being ambushed, Shigetoku Kuroda sent an infantry brigade to explore the front.

According to the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army, the devils all know that in addition to leaving reserves without permission, the Eighth Route will also send troops to block the attack.

With such a large formation, the Eighth Route must have sent the main force to block the attack.

"The troops who fought on the eighth road are gone? What's going on? ”

Nakazawa Sanfu's brows furrowed suddenly, and a bad feeling surged in his heart, could it be that the battle is over?

Could it be that the soldiers of the encircled 1st Division have already been wiped out?

"Nakazawa-kun doesn't have to worry."

Seeing this, Kuroda Shigetoku comforted: "It may be that the Eighth Route Army, which is blocking the attack, heard that my 26th Division had arrived, and fled in fright, after all, it was only four or five thousand Eighth Routes, how could it be possible to block the 26th Division's troops?" ”

Yesterday at noon, Kuroda Shigetoku was still telling Mitsuo Nakazawa that the 26th Division could be reinforced at any time if the 1st Division encountered any situation in the northwest of Shanxi.

Unfortunately, Kuroda Shigetoku was right, and the next day the 1st Division needed reinforcements from the 26th Division.

For Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin, Kuroda Shigetoku was also extremely jealous.

On this cold day, people can freeze to death outside, and Balu can still send 50,000 people to ambush?

It's outrageous.

Seeing that Mitsuo Nakazawa was still gloomy, Kuroda Shigetoku said again:

"There are at least 20,000 locust soldiers in the ambush circle, and these locust soldiers are the most elite warriors in the empire."

"I'm sure they won't be wiped out so easily by the Eight Paths."

"Nakazawa-kun, you have to cheer up and lead the locust army of the 1st Division to rescue them."

Kuroda Shigetoku said secretly, even if it is 20,000 pigs, it is impossible to be killed so quickly, right?

What's more, it was the elite of the more than 20,000 locust soldiers.

One of the three devil reconnaissance planes that went to the battlefield was shot down, and the other two reconnaissance planes were already fleeing for fear of being shot down.

So neither Mitsuo Nakazawa nor Shigetoku Kuroda knew that the battle was nearing its end at this time.

Mitsuo Nakazawa glanced at Kuroda Shigetoku speechlessly, standing and talking without backache, the ambush circle is not the soldiers of your 26th Division, if it is the soldiers of your 26th Division, you are more anxious than me.

"Kuroda-kun." Mitsuo Nakazawa said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, let's move on." ”

At this moment, two telegraph soldiers came to the armored car with a radio station on their backs and reported to Kuroda Shigeton:

"Division commander, commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ningji, will talk to you personally."

"Nani?" Kuroda Shigetoku was taken aback, and it was still rare for Senior General Okamura Ninji to personally talk to the division commander Lieutenant General.

Kuroda Shigetoku immediately stepped out of the armored car, picked up the microphone in one hand and put it to his mouth, and put the earpiece in the other to his ear:

"Moxi Moxi, Your Excellency General, I am the commander of the 26th Division, Shigetoku Kuroda!"

"Kuroda-kun, where is your department?"

"Is it being blocked by the Eighth Route Army?"

In the earpiece, Okamura Ninji's deep voice came from, but because of the long distance, the signal was not very good, and the voice was intermittent.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Eighth Route Blocking Force has been scared away when they hear that our division has rushed to reinforce it."

"At present, the vanguard of our division is less than 7 kilometers away from the battlefield."

"Our division is unimpeded! Without a hitch! ”

Kuroda Shigetoku's waist is straight, and his attitude is very respectful.

Even his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Shigetaro Kazu, the commander of the Mongolian Army, was respectful when facing Okamura Ninji.

"Yo Xi!"

Okamura Ninji Road:

"Order your division to rush to the battlefield immediately, but you must pay attention to reconnaissance, and don't fall into an ambush by the Eighth Route Army like the 1st Division."

"Hey! Hi! ”

Kuroda slammed his head down twice at the radio station until he couldn't hear the sound in the receiver, and then handed the receiver and microphone to the telegraph soldier.

"What did Commander Okamura say?" Mitsuo Nakazawa asked.

"Commander Okamura ordered our troops to rush to the battlefield immediately." Kuroda replied.

Then, Kuroda Shigetoku looked at the communications staff officer on the side and said coldly: "Order, the 1st Infantry Brigade is moving faster, and you must pay attention to reconnaissance, so as not to fall into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer bowed his head suddenly.

……

Shigetoku Kuroda and Ninji Okamura didn't know.

Their conversation had been overheard by the new radio station.

Because the two old devils spoke in Japanese, and did not use secret language, and the location of the new regiment headquarters was very close.

Although the soldiers of the new regiment listening to the radio were Japanese with two knives, they could roughly hear what the two old devils were saying.

The telegraph soldiers immediately reported the situation to Chief of Staff Wang Dehou.

After that, Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, just now the telegraph military supervisor heard a radio conversation between Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front, and Kuroda Shigetoku, commander of the 26th Division. ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and asked, "Have you heard any valuable information?" ”

"Not really." Wang Dehou said, "Oh, by the way, Okamura Ninji and Kuroda Shigetoku don't seem to know that the main force of the 1st Division has been wiped out, and the 26th Division is continuing to reinforce, Kuroda Shigetoku said on the radio that it is less than 7 kilometers away from us." ”

Li Yunlong took the map from Huzi's hand and looked at it, and soon found the current location of the 26th Division on the map.

"Here." Li Yunlong clicked on the map, "The 26th Division should be here, are the artillery groups ready to meet the 26th Division?" ”

In this operation, five regimental artillery units were used alone.

They are the heavy artillery battalion, the 1st artillery battalion and the 2nd artillery battalion of the new regiment, as well as the artillery battalion of the independent regiment and the artillery battalion of the new 2nd regiment.

There are more than 200 mountain guns, howitzers and artillery pieces over 75 mm, and more than 600 60 mm and 82 mm guns.

The density of this artillery fire is not even worse than that of the European battlefield.

After the battle of ambushing the main force of the 1st Division, it was no longer possible to ambush the 26th Division, but Li Yunlong had already ordered all units to prepare to meet the 26th Division.

If it was only the 26th Division, it would not have been necessary to have such a large formation.

In addition to the 26th Division, the Japanese troops who rushed to reinforce also included the heavy artillery wing of the 1st Division, as well as the Suzuki Wing, and the thousands of devils who escaped.

In order to buy time for the troops to clean up the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had to fight with the remnants of the 26th Division and the 1st Division.

"The artillery groups are ready."

Wang Dehou nodded:

"The 10 battalions of our regiment have already moved forward, and the observers of each artillery group have arrived at the commanding heights of the nearby mountain peaks to guide the artillery groups to open fire."

"Once the devils of the 26th Division appear, they will be directly exposed to our artillery fire."

"Good."

Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression, with Boss Chen reimbursing the shells, the artillerymen only need to fire the cannons.
