"Your Excellency Commander, our plane has arrived!"

In the headquarters of the Mongolian army, an operational staff officer pointed to the sky and said to Gansu Shigetaro with a happy expression.

However, Ganji Jutaro still had a solemn face, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Whether the commander on the opposite side is Li Yunlong, Ganji Shigetaro doesn't know, but he knows that the other party is difficult to entangle.

At the beginning, Gansu Jutaro was indeed more confident, but after the first round of confrontation, the enemy's defense did not leak, but the locust army suffered a lot of losses.

Jutaro felt his punch hit the nail, and instead of hurting the enemy, he was bleeding profusely.

Being able to be the commander of a group army of the Japanese army, Gansu Shigetaro may be arrogant and arrogant, but his tactical command ability and IQ will definitely not be bad.

If you want to rely on just a few dozen planes, you can defeat the Eighth Route Army, is it realistic?

What's more, according to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province had a lot of air defense weapons, and these air defense weapons were inevitably deployed by the commander of the Eighth Route Army for air defense around the artillery positions.

As expected by Jutaro Kazuta.

Ten minutes later, the communications staff officer reported to him:

"Report to Your Excellency Commander Evil, fighters, reconnaissance planes, and bombers are hovering over the positions of the Eighth Route Army, as well as around Datong, and no artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army have been found."

"Captain Kobayashi Takachi Osa, captain of the 2nd Flying Sentai Team, requests our unit to continue the offensive and increase the offensive, leading out the artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army."

"Aviation pilots, ready for a suicide attack!"

Ganji Jutaro's solemn face, after hearing this, couldn't help but move.

The key to whether the Mongolian army can win this battle lies in whether it can destroy the artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, although the infantry firepower of the Eighth Route Army is also very strong, and the Eighth Route Army has anti-tank rocket launchers.

But the steel torrent of the 3rd Division of the Locust Army Chariot Regiment can win this battle.

As long as the Mongolian army can advance to the city of Datong, the siege of the 1st Division will be relieved, and the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing of the 1st Division will be released.

There are planes in the sky and heavy artillery on the ground, and you are afraid that you will not be able to win the Eighth Route Army?

It seems that the North China Front Command also knew that the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army was very strong, and the conventional bombing did not work, so it changed to a suicide attack.

This also shows that the war situation in Shanxi is imminent, and even rotten, and the First Army has reached the moment of life and death.

Otherwise, Okamura Ninji would not have given the order for a suicide attack, and pilots with combat experience in any country are treasures.

Tataro took a closer look at the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Datong City is surrounded by plain terrain, and the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army is only five or six kilometers long, so there is obviously no way to stop the Japanese army from outflanking from the flank.

"Herald!"

Gansu Jutaro gave the order in an indifferent tone:

"Every two infantry brigades and two tank squadrons form an attack detachment, and three attack squadrons attack the enemy's depth from three positions, left, center, and right."

"In the event of an enemy tank or artillery bombardment, withdraw immediately!"

"Hey!"

The combat staff officer bowed his head suddenly.

Ganji Jutaro wanted to bypass the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army from the left and right flanks.

After all, on the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army, a large number of mines modified with explosives were deployed, and to attack head-on was to find death!

And in the middle of the lane, the previous assault detachment, that is, the decoy he threw out, had already laid down the mines, so it was very safe.

Subsequently.

Holding the command saber on his shoulder, Gansu Jutaro walked quickly behind the telegraph soldiers, and several busy telegraph soldiers and coders quickly stood up and saluted.

"Miyamura-kun, can you contact the headquarters of the 1st Division?"

Tataro looked at the communications staff officer:

"I want to talk to Lieutenant General Sanfu Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Division."

"Report to the Commander." The communications staff officer bowed his head, "Yes, but the call is easy to be monitored, I suggest sending a telegram to the 1st Division..."

Ganji Shigetaro looked at the sky, and his tone was cold: "Immediately connect the call of Lieutenant General Nakazawa Sanfu." ”

Sending a telegram is naturally the safest option, but it takes a lot of time.

And the most lacking thing at the moment is time, once there is not enough fuel, the aviation units hovering in the sky will have to return to the Beiping airfield.

After all, even if it's a suicide attack, you have to find a target, right?

As for the infantry of the Eighth Route Army on the ground, the Japanese pilots could see it.

But they all committed suicide attacks, of course, they had to pick high-value targets, such as the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, such as the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer suddenly bowed his head and immediately ordered the telegraph man on the side, holding the receiver and microphone of the telegraph machine, to call the 1st Division.

Not long after, the radio call of the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia was connected to the 1st Division.

Jutaro held the earpiece in one hand and put it to his ear in the other, and put it to his mouth with the other: "Moxi Moxi, Moxi Moxi..."

After a while, the deep voice of the 1st Division Nakazawa Sanfu came to his ears: "Is it Ganji-kun?" ”

"I'm the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia, Shigetaro Gansu." Ganji Jutaro said in a deep voice, "Is it Nakazawa-kun?" ”

Mitsuo Nakazawa was the division commander of the 1st Division, and Ganji Shigetaro was the commander of the Mongolian army, and the two had crossed paths before and met several times.

However, Nakazawa Sanfu somewhat disdained Ganji Shigetaro, although Ganji Shigetaro was the commander of a Japanese army group.

However, the total strength of the army stationed in Mongolia at its peak was only more than 30,000 people, and the overall strength was not comparable to that of the 1st Division.

However, the current 1st Division is not only far inferior in strength to the troops stationed in Mongolia, but also needs reinforcements from the troops stationed in Mongolia to have a chance to break the siege.

"It's me!" Sanfu Nakazawa's tone was a little hurried, "Gan Jijun, where is the main force of your Mongolian army?" ”

Ganji Shigetaro said: "We have arrived at the Shandi Village and the area of Lijiawan in the north of Datong City. ”

After a pause, Gansu Shigetaro looked at the watch in his hand: "The main force of our Mongolian army will launch a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in five minutes, and the flying team in the sky will cooperate, please counterattack your 1st Division immediately, and we should work together to defeat and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop." ”

Sanfu Nakazawa immediately expressed his position, and his tone was excited: "Gan Jijun, please rest assured, our 1st Division will launch a counteroffensive against the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Gan Ji Jutaro said, "After the Eighth Route Army is defeated, you and I will reminisce about the past." ”

After hanging up the call, Jutaro returned to the command position and asked the operational staff officer: "Are the three attack detachments ready?" ”

"Report to the Commander." The combat staff officer replied, "It's ready." ”

"Yo Xi!"

"Five minutes later, the three-way attack detachment will attack the Eighth Route Army at the same time!"

Operational Staff: "Hey! ”

……

At the same time.

In the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the communications staff officer was reporting to Kong Jie:

"The head of the reporting regiment, our telegraph operator, has just listened to the phone call between the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia, Shigetaro Gansu, and the commander of the 1st Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa."

At present, the scale of the independent regiment has surpassed that of a full-fledged division, so posts such as intelligence staff officers, operational staff officers, and communications staff officers have been established.

"Oh?" Kong Jie's expression moved, "What did the two old devils say?" ”

In this battle, Kong Jie has a lot of hole cards in his hand and is quite confident.

Even if the devil dispatched more than 40 planes to reinforce the operation, Kong Jie still lived up to Jutaro and Mio Nakazawa.

This was an opportunity given to Kong Jie by God, who used to command at most one division of troops, but now he can command more than one army to fight.

Now it's different, being able to command more than 40,000 main elite operations is already another level and level.

It's called corps warfare.

Although it is not a large corps, a small corps is also called a corps, isn't it?

Communication staff officer: "The two old devils conspired, the army stationed in Mongolia will launch a large-scale attack on our position in five minutes, and Gansu Shigetaro asked Nakazawa Sanfu to counterattack synchronously..."

Kong Jie nodded, the two old devils were still a little pressing.

Aside from the timing of the general attack and the agreed coordination, no other attack plans were revealed in radio calls.

Kong Jie looked at the communications staff officer: "Immediately inform Commander Ding that the 1st Division is about to counterattack, and let him prepare there." ”

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer turned around and left, picked up the high-power walkie-talkie, and called Ding Wei.

……

Five minutes later.

Opposite the forward position.

Kill to ......

More than 6,000 devils, under the guidance of nearly 70 tanks, attacked in a three-way formation of left, center and right, presented a multi-layered straggler line, and swooped towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

For fear of being covered by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, the devil's skirmish line was very open.

In the rear of the devils, mountain artillery, mortars, and Type 92 infantry guns opened fire at the rear of the Eighth Route Army's position.

The devil also knew that there was no one on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and this time the devil put in some mountain artillery during the shelling.

And.

The devil observed balloons and reconnaissance planes, and conveyed the location of the infantry of the Eighth Route Army to the headquarters of the Japanese army in Mongolia.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the devil has really started to attack."

"The devils attacked in three directions, with nearly 70 tanks and no less than 6,000 troops."

In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the operational staff officer reported to Kong Jie:

"The devil's artillery is firing at our hidden infantry positions."

While speaking, the combat staff officer had already marked the direction of the devil's attack on the map.

Kong Jie's eyes narrowed.

This time, the old devil of Tataro Ganji is playing for real.

In one attack, the forces of a tank wing and a mixed brigade were committed.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the southeast sky, and Kong Jie hurriedly held up the telescope to look.

As time goes on, the buzzing gets louder and louder.

Not long after, a dense super-large transport plane appeared in the field of vision of the telescope.

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time."

Grand Master Kong put down the binoculars and smiled coldly:

"The devil can call for air support, and so can we!"

Two days ago, Kong Jie ordered tens of thousands of shells to be buried in the position, and the shells of the Eighth Route Army were somewhat insufficient.

Thereupon.

Kong Jie applied to Li Yunlong for an airdrop of supplies, which was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today, with a total of 80,000 shells.

"Pass my order, except for the 203mm howitzer battalion, the artillery positions of the rest of the battalions are ready to launch artillery bombardment on the devil and cover Lao Tzu's artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer responded loudly. (End of chapter)
