"Report to the Captain!"

"The cavalry battalion commander reported that our 12 Katyusha rocket launchers killed a brigade of devils with only one salvo!"

"At present, the devils of the 1st Division have no signs of breaking through!"

About 6 kilometers away from Datong City, the troops around him were marching mightily, and a telegraph soldier reported to Kong Jie.

By Kong Jie's side, Ding Wei stood with his hands in his hands, and the political commissar and chief of staff of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment also stood aside.

Just now, the devil's reconnaissance plane flew over, and because the devil's plane flew a little high, the distance was a little far.

In order to get the big troops to rush to Datong as soon as possible, Kong Jie did not let the air defense forces set up all the artillery and shoot at the devil's plane.

"12 Katyusha rocket launchers killed a brigade of devils in one salvo?"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up suddenly, this was not the first time that the Katyusha rocket launchers had shot at the devil.

But it was the biggest success.

In the frontal battlefield of the national army, if you want to kill a large group of devils, you have to pay at least 3 to 5 times the lives of the same national soldiers.

Moreover, this round of Katyusha firepower was killed by the elite troops of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army.

The corners of Ding Wei's mouth were also slightly upturned, knowing that the Katyusha rocket artillery was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

A salvo of 12 rocket artillery guns can have the effect of at least one or two artillery divisions, and it is also one or two heavy artillery divisions to take out a devil brigade in one salvo.

Then a salvo of 4 Katyusha rocket launchers can hit the effect of an artillery brigade in a short time.

At the beginning, 1,500 recruits were exchanged for 4 Katyusha rocket launchers from Lao Li.

Blood is not lost!

Ding Wei said in a disdainful tone: "Lao Kong, it seems that this devil of the 1st Division was frightened by a round of rocket artillery, and he didn't even dare to escape?" ”

"The 1st Division has a heavy artillery wing." Kong Jie analyzed, "If the devil wants to escape, he will definitely carry this heavy artillery wing, but the devil didn't run, I guess, the devil is afraid of this heavy artillery wing, and it will be blown up by our Katyusha rocket artillery." ”

Ding Wei nodded: "It's not impossible." ”

Wang Yingcai, political commissar of the Independent Regiment, analyzed: "If the devil wants to blow up our Katyusha rocket artillery, he can only send fighters and bombers to bomb it. ”

Xu Shansheng, political commissar of the new Second Regiment, smiled slightly: "When the devil's plane arrives, it's no longer in a hurry, at that time, our main infantry force has already surrounded Datong." ”

Kong Jie immediately shouted loudly: "Pass my order, all troops speed up and advance, and within an hour, surround Datong!" ”

With Kong Jie's order, the speed of the various departments advancing towards Datong increased by a few points.

As for whether the 1st Division could be blocked, Kong Jie and Ding Wei didn't care too much.

It is best to block the 1st Division in Datong, if it is not blocked in Datong, it doesn't matter.

Because the main forces of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, as well as the heavy firepower of the New First Regiment to attack Datong in the north, the 1st Division was originally covering and feintting.

It is best to destroy and severely damage the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and it doesn't matter if it can't.

Although the current 1st Division is a first-class division, the main force has been wiped out, and it can't make any waves at all.

If you take it out alone and fight in the field, you can't even beat the new second regiment or the independent regiment.

About an hour later, the main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment blocked the waters surrounding Datong.

An hour ago, the devil's reconnaissance plane went to reconnoiter around Datong and saw only 20 trucks, but did not find the heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the North China Front Command did not send fighters and bombers to bomb for the time being.

In the former enemy headquarters, Kong Jie looked at the southern city wall of Datong through the vision of the artillery mirror.

The chief of staff of the independent regiment reported the situation to the commander Kong Jie:

"Report to the head of the regiment, there are no devils outside the city at present, and all the devils have all retreated into the city, even the devils on the city wall are not many."

Three regiments of artillery units were already beginning to mount their guns and prepare for the attack.

The infantry was hurrying to eat breakfast and replenish their strength.

Although after a rapid march all night, the warriors could immediately go into battle.

But people are iron, rice is steel, and only when they are full of food and drink can they fight more energetically.

Ding Wei, the deputy commander on the side, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Kong, the situation is wrong!" ”

"Lao Ding, what's wrong?"

Kong Jie was turning the artillery mirror to look at the city wall, and when he heard Ding Wei's words, he quickly turned around.

Ding Wei analyzed: "The 1st Division gave up the fortifications outside the city, and even the fortifications of the city walls, clearly wanting to play street battles with us." ”

"I know that." Kong Jie's eyes narrowed, "The devil has a good hand and knows that he is not our opponent in the wild, so he simply hides in the city and does not come out." ”

If it is in the field, with the strength and equipment under Kong Jie's command now, the 1st Division can be beaten out of phobia.

It can fight with the 1st Division with a five-to-one, or even lower battle loss ratio.

However, if you play street fighting, the equipment and firepower superiority of the Eighth Route Army will not be brought into play.

Moreover, the battle loss ratio was infinitely pulled to one to one, because if you can't cover Datong City with firepower, and you want to occupy Datong and eliminate the 1st Division, you can only fill it with your life.

After a pause, Kong Jie's tone was helpless: "If it weren't for the fact that there were our Chinese people in the city, labor and management would directly take thousands of tons of artillery shells to cover the city of Datong, and the 1st Division would be a fart." ”

In terms of logistical supply, there is Li Yunlong's automobile battalion, which can pull war supplies from the northwest of Shanxi to Datong at any time.

In addition, there is Boss Chen's

"Herein lies the problem." Ding Wei's tone was solemn, "We really can't cover Datong City with artillery fire." ”

"Lao Ding, you estimate." Kong Jie asked in a deep voice: "Even if it is a street battle, how much casualties do we need to pay if we want to kill the 1st Division?" ”

Ding Wei said: "At least 10,000 casualties must be killed, this is still a conservative estimate, after all, street fighting is different from other battles, street fighting is the most brutal battle." ”

Kong Jie nodded, which was about the same as he estimated.

Even the fighters of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, armed with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, were able to continue firing and occupy a certain advantage in the exchange of fire with the Japanese in street battles.

But this advantage is not big and does not translate into an overwhelming advantage.

Kong Jie's eyes narrowed: "For us, this is a loss-making deal..."

If you can fight a five-to-one battle loss ratio and fight a one-to-one street battle, isn't it a loss-making deal?

It was also the first time that Kong Jie commanded so many troops to fight, and the main force of the independent regiment and the new second regiment totaled 30,000 people, plus the air defense units and artillery units of the new regiment numbered several thousand, with a total strength of nearly 40,000 troops.

This kind of corps-level battle made Kong Jie's pressure a little greater.

However, the books that Li Yunlong read were also given to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and now Kong Jie and Ding Wei's tactical command ability is only one grade worse than Li Yunlong.

"It's secondary." Ding Wei said, "What I'm worried about is that the Japanese North China Front will mobilize heavy troops to form a huge encirclement on the periphery of Datong and encircle us and eat us in one bite." ”

"Then let's have fun with the 1st Division." Kong Jie nodded.

Elephant Zhang is a loss-making deal, plus the independent regiment and the new second regiment may be dumplings by devils, and Kong Jie is even more unlikely to fight with the 1st Division to the end.

Seeing that Kong Jie did not plan to fight hard with the 1st Division, Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the commander of this battle is Kong Jie, and he Ding Wei is only the deputy commander, so he has to listen to Kong Jie's orders.

"Report to the regiment commander, the artillery positions have been constructed!"

"Do you want to fire at the Datong city wall?"

The chief of staff of the Separate Regiment reported to Kong Jie.

At this time, the 4 artillery battalions of the 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment, as well as the 150-mm heavy artillery battalion and the 105-mm howitzer 2nd battalion of the 1st Regiment, were already aimed at the four walls of Datong.

The devils at Datong Station have withdrawn into the city.

The tank battalion and the Katyusha rocket artillery battalion were hiding in the woods a few kilometers away.

The North China Front still has more than 30 fighters and bombers, which need to be guarded against.

However, the six artillery battalions have deployed a considerable amount of anti-aircraft firepower, ready to deal with the devil's aircraft, for air defense.

The 88-mm anti-aircraft gun battalion, the 20-mm machine gun battalion and the 37-mm anti-aircraft gun battalion of the new regiment came.

Plus the anti-aircraft fire of the Separate Regiment and the New II Regiment.

In anti-aircraft fire, it was satisfactory.

Unless the devils use more than 100 bombers and fighters to carry out large-scale bombardment towards the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, the remaining more than 30 fighters and bombers did not pose much threat to the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

"Pass my orders!" Kong Jie immediately ordered loudly, "Immediately order the artillery to fire at the city wall of Datong, and the shelling time will be half an hour, and the city wall of Datong will be blown up by Lao Tzu!" ”

In order to imitate Li Yunlong's tactical command, Kong Jie did not assist in the direction, and all four city walls were the main attack.

And as soon as he came up, he pulled out all the cannons and bombarded the city wall, not entangled with the devils at all.

The chief of staff of the independent regiment straightened up: "Yes!" ”

Subsequently, the chief of staff of the independent regiment took the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Hey, this is the headquarters, all artillery positions are firing at the Datong city wall, and the shelling time is half an hour!" ”

Taking advantage of the artillery test firing, Kong Jie looked at the staff officer and said: "Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the new regiment, saying that the 1st Division has been blocked in Datong City, and we are storming Datong, please rest assured that Regiment Commander Li will lead his troops south." ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff of the Independent Regiment hastened to prepare a telegram based on Kong Jie's dictation.

Kong Jie took it and looked at it, there was no problem, so he signed his name.

Subsequently, the chief of staff of the Independent Regiment handed over the telegram to the coder, who translated it into a code, and then handed it to the telegraph operator to send it in the form of a telegram.

Since the Japanese 1st Division was equipped with a heavy artillery wing, all artillery units approached the city wall to build artillery positions and aim for direct fire, and they would definitely be counterattacked by the devil's heavy artillery.

The artillery quality of the devil's heavy artillery wing is not covered.

Therefore, the artillery units set up artillery positions six or seven kilometers away from the city wall and in hidden positions.

Since it was to bombard the city wall, it was necessary to conduct a test firing in advance so as not to let too many shells enter the city and hurt the people.

At this time, the artillery units had already completed the test firing and calibrated the firing elements.

An artillery unit the size of six artillery regiments poured artillery fire on the city walls of Datong.

Boom boom...

The shells of the Eighth Route Army continued to rise into the air, cutting graceful arcs in the sky, and then falling on the city wall.

With the explosion of shaking the earth and shaking the mountains, the four walls of the entire Datong City were suddenly shrouded in fire and smoke.

Although there are a lot of shells, it is impossible to waste a city wall that is not guarded by devils.

Half an hour of bombing is enough.

If there were devils guarding the city walls, they would have to bombard it for at least a few hours.

……

Inside Datong City.

Headquarters of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army.

Listening to the dense explosions coming from all directions, the faces of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Yoshio Noguchi suddenly became extremely solemn.

Even the supreme commander of the 1st Division, not to mention the officers and soldiers below, were all panicked.

Dust continued to fall on the beams of the house, but Mitsuo Nakazawa turned a blind eye, he looked at Noguchi Yoshio and asked, "Noguchi-kun, you have worked as an artillery before, judge what caliber of artillery was used by the Eighth Route Army, and how big is the scale?" ”

Yoshio Noguchi listened carefully for a while before speaking.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the caliber of the cannon used by the Eighth Route Army includes 75 mm mountain guns, 105 mm howitzers and 150 mm howitzers."

"I can't tell what model, at least the size of 6 artillery wings!"

"Judging by the explosion of the shells, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army in each direction of the city wall is about the same."

"That is to say, the Eighth Route Army is the main attack in all four directions, and there are no assists!"

The expression on the face of Mio Nakazawa became more and more ugly, the Eighth Route Army attacked the 1st Division, and actually used 6 artillery wings!

There was also the heavy artillery division that opened fire in the morning, and the reconnaissance planes did not find any trace of it, and did not know where it was hiding.

The Eighth Route Army is so rich...

Mitsuo Nakazawa secretly exclaimed, compared with this Eighth Route Army unit, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, which is equipped with first-class equipment, is simply like a flower child.

"It's all the main attack, no assists... Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is Li Yunlong's usual mad dog tactic! ”

After a pause, Yoshio Noguchi, who had studied Li Yunlong's combat style, reported to Mitsuo Nakazawa.

Nakazawa Sanfu nodded, fortunately he did not fight a positional battle with the Eighth Route Army outside the city, and gave up the fortifications of the city wall.

Otherwise, the 1st Division would have to kill and wound at least 1,000 soldiers in this wave of artillery alone.

At that moment, Mitsuo Nakazawa ordered Yoshio Noguchi: "Noguchi-kun, you immediately prepare a telegram, immediately report this matter to the North China Front Headquarters, and request General Okamura Ninji to dispatch fighters and bombers to blow up the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

The heavy artillery position of the Eighth Route Army in the morning was not discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

But the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army are firing at the city walls, there is nothing to hide, and they will definitely be seen.

"Hey!"

Yoshio Noguchi bowed his head abruptly, and then began to prepare a telegram.

……

In a forest about 10 kilometers west of the site in Meng County.

The sun shines through the leaves, bringing a little warmth.

However, in this forest at this time, there was a thunderous snoring.

The soldiers of the new regiment arrived at dawn after a night of rapid marching, where they rested for the day.

And here, it is only about 30 kilometers away from the Zhengtai Railway.

The new regiment only needed to attack for another half a night of rapid marching before it could reach the Zhengtai Railway and launch an attack on the Japanese 33rd and 37th Divisions.

Li Yunlong finished breakfast, drank water, and slept at the bottom of a big tree with his back to replenish his strength and energy.

For people like him, who have experienced the Long March, he can rest anytime and anywhere, and he can also go into battle anytime and anywhere.

Less than ten seconds after leaning against the tree, Li Yunlong's snoring sounded.

Zhao Gang smiled slightly when he saw this, so he also planned to sit on a stone and rest for a while.

At this moment, the telegraph operator noticed that the radio signal was flickering, so he immediately put on headphones, and the radio sounded rhythmically.

Li Yunlong opened his eyes suddenly, startling Huang Erhu and Chen Baoshan, who were watching him sleep.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not a beauty, what's so nice to sleep?"

"Go, go, go to bed."

Li Yunlong sent Huang Erhu and Chen Baoshan and walked to the telegraph.

Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo also woke up and came over one after another.

Li Yunlong looked at his watch, and at this time someone was sending a telegram to the new group, which was probably sent by Kong Jie.

After a while, the telegraph operator wrote down the received code on paper, and the decoder quickly translated it into text before handing the telegram to Li Yunlong.

"Haha, Lao Kong's side is going well, and the devils of the 1st Division have been surrounded in Datong City."

After reading the telegram, the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled slightly.

Although the devils of the 1st Division were more wary of the new regiment, they still underestimated the special forces of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong used the same method as the 3rd Brigade to encircle the 1st Division of the Japanese Army in Datong.

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "If nothing else, Okamura Ningji will definitely think that the Eighth Route Army attacking Datong is our new regiment." ”

"Maybe." Xing Zhiguo also said with a smile, "The reinforcements of the North China Front Army of the devil are really rushing to Datong." ”

Wang Dehou also smiled: "Who would have thought that the real strategic target of our Eighth Route Army is the 33rd Division and the 37th Division of the Japanese Army?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou, "Chief of Staff, you immediately prepare a telegram to reply to Kong Jie, just say that you will act according to the plan, and another telegram will be drafted and sent to the headquarters of the 129th Division, asking where their main force is?" The rest hurried to rest. ”

Wang Dehou: "Yes! ”

……

At the same time.

Peiping.

Iron Lion Hutong, headquarters of the North China Front.

War Hall.

Communications staff officer Osamu Kitani held the telegram in his hand, walked quickly to Okamura Ninji, and immediately reported: "Report to the commander of the division, the 1st division is in an emergency!" ”

Okamura Ninji, Seizo Arisue and Moritake Tanabe are analyzing the battle situation.

"Read!"

Hearing Osamu Kitani's voice, Okamura Nenji waved his hand and said.

"Hey!" Osamu Kitani then took the telegram and read, "The Eighth Route Army used the artillery fire of more than 6 artillery wings to bombard the Datong city wall, and asked the headquarters to send fighters and bombers to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Nani?" Okamura Ninji's face changed slightly, "6 artillery wings? ”

On the side, there were Sue Seizo and Tanabe Moritake, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

This firepower is also too ferocious, 6 artillery wings, almost 200 cannons of 75 mm caliber or more.

There are also quite a few heavy guns with a caliber of more than 150 mm!

Did planes be sent to bomb the artillery positions of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Okamura Ninji suddenly hesitated.
