Zhao County area, Shahe Village.

When the puppet soldiers arrived at the village, they went into every house and began to rob things.

If the common people resist a little, it is a rifle butt, and those who dare to use a knife will be killed directly by the puppet army.

Moreover, these puppet armies are still fighting in the name of resisting Japan and saving the country and raising materials on the spot.

The people in the village dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Not only the puppet army, but also many regular militarist armies and national armies are also grabbed wherever the battle goes.

"Commander, report to Commander!"

In the village ancestral hall, the traitor Sun Liangcheng and his puppet soldiers are resting.

The communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, and reported:

"Just now, the commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, Takashi Takamori, called and asked you to be the commander-in-chief of the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army in Shimen City and Zhengding, and hold Shimen and Zhengding for two days, and retreat to Baoding two days later.

When Sun Liangcheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Put Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's troops in Shimen and Zhengding as cannon fodder, and paint cakes for Lao Tzu to join the Japanese."

"Ying Senxiao's abacus of this old dog, dozens or hundreds of kilometers away, Lao Tzu heard it."

"If Lao Tzu hadn't run fast, he would have been killed by the Eighth Road at this time."

"I also became a Japanese citizen, go to him."

Sun Liangcheng has never been interested in becoming a Japanese citizen.

If he becomes Japanese, if Japan is defeated one day, then there is no turning back.

Joining Wang's puppet government, Sun Liangcheng also wanted to survive.

"Immediately call back to Yingsen Xiao, and say that Sun is grateful, and the Second Front Army of the Locust Cooperative Army, even if it is fought to the last man, it must hold Shimen City and Zhengding for two days."

In order to successfully reach Yu Province and join the main force of the national army, Sun Liangcheng prepared to talk to Yingsen Xiaoxu and the snake.

In fact.

Sun Liangcheng did not know that the 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division were attacking the Eighth Route Army in the Jinju area.

The 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division attacked the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong is top secret, and the devil does not absolutely trust the puppet army, so it is impossible for the devil to let the puppet army know.

Sun Liangcheng also thought that the 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division were fleeing in the direction of Baoding.

After all, Baoding had the main forces of six divisions and three brigades of the Japanese army there.

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer quickly drafted a telegram and asked the telegraph officer to send it.

"Pass the order, brothers quickly withdraw!"

After the telegram was sent, Sun Liangcheng looked at the watch in his hand, he had rested for a quarter of an hour, he was afraid that the main force of the Eighth Route Army would catch up, so he immediately issued an order to retreat.

With Sun Liangcheng's order, the puppet soldiers carried the large bags of grain they had snatched on their backs, and rushed south with their legs.

……

Jinju battlefield.

"Report, the defensive line of our army's left position was broken through by the devils, and the main force of the devils launched a general attack on us."

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff answered a phone call and reported to District Chief Lu in a solemn tone.

"What are you talking about, the left flank line of defense was broken through by devils, what's going on? Wasn't the left flank line strong all the time? ”

When District Chief Lu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The first few attacks of the devils, they didn't even touch the forward position of the left flank, why was it suddenly broken through?

According to the mouth of the wounded devil, it was the troops of the 40th Division of the Devil who attacked the position on the left flank, and more than two-thirds of the troops of the 40th Division of this Devil were recruits.

Although the combat effectiveness is not crotch-pulling, it is not comparable to the kind of B division that has been in battle for a long time.

"According to the forward position report, it should be the 11th Division and the 40th Division, and they suddenly switched their offensive positions."

The Chief of Staff analyzed:

"This new group of devils has very strong combat effectiveness, very accurate marksmanship, and very powerful stabbing skills, and is definitely not a unit of the 40th Division."

"it." District Chief Lu scolded angrily, "The devil actually played tactics with us? ”

Since the main offensive direction of the 11th Division of the Devils is the main position of the Jizhong troops.

So.

District Commander Lu transferred all the elite troops in Jizhong to the direction of the main position.

"Have the troops on the left flank been withdrawn from the forward positions?"

District Chief Lu asked in a solemn tone.

"Not yet!" The chief of staff shook his head, and his tone was also very solemn, "Our troops are fighting with the devils, and the devils' large army is coming to the position for reinforcements!" ”

District Chief Lu frowned and asked, "Has the devil's army arrived?" ”

The chief of staff said: "Not yet! But it should be soon, should it be soon, should reserves and cavalry regiments be sent to reinforce the positions on the left flank? ”

If the devils are allowed to occupy the left flank position, then the devils will be able to outflank and attack the middle and right flank positions of the Jizhong troops from the rear.

At that time, the main force of the Jizhong troops will fall into a situation where they will be attacked by the enemy on their backs.

As a result, the entire defensive line of the position was routed.

The devils must not be allowed to occupy the left flank positions!

District Commander Lu quickly analyzed the current battle situation in his mind, and said: "Order the 2nd Brigade of the Reserve and the Cavalry Regiment to immediately support the left flank position, and then order all artillery fire to carry out a blocking artillery bombardment 150 meters in front of the left flank position to prevent the Japanese army from attacking the left flank position." ”

"Yes!"

The battle situation was urgent, and the chief of staff stepped forward, turned around and went to give the order.

The chief of staff quickly shook the handle, and then put the phone to his ear: "Immediately pick up the artillery corps, this is the headquarters, I order you, immediately carry out blocking artillery bombardment 150 meters in front of the left flank position, and immediately carry out blocking artillery bombardment 150 meters in front of the left flank position!" ”

After hanging up, the chief of staff continued to shake the handle and gave orders to the reserves and cavalry regiments.

At this moment, the communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, gave a military salute, and then reported.

"Report, the front headquarters is in an emergency!"

"Read!"

District Chief Lu waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" The communications staff officer then held the telegram in both hands and read, "The main force of the new regiment has defeated the Japanese puppet army in Shimen City and Zhengding, and the commander of the new regiment has personally led more than 40,000 people, and has set off from Shimen by car, and will be able to arrive at the Jinju battlefield in three hours at most. ”

District Chief Lu suddenly became overjoyed when he heard this.

"It is worthy of being the most capable new corps of our Eighth Route Army, and it only took half a day to defeat thousands of devils and tens of thousands of puppet army troops."

The political commissar on the side sighed emotionally.

"Of course, let alone thousands of devils and tens of thousands of puppet troops, even if it is the main force of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of devils, it is not the opponent of the new First Corps."

District Chief Lu is full of energy, just like a person who is in good spirits at a happy event.

Under the attack of the devils, holding on for three hours, the pressure on the troops in Jizhong was not so great.

Although the new regiment is still a regimental establishment, within the Eighth Route Army, some officers are accustomed to calling the new regiment the new first corps.

"That's a lot of money!" The chief of staff who gave the order came over and said with emotion, "Our Eighth Route Army, only the new regiment has so many cars, transporting tens of thousands of troops at one time. ”

Several combat staff officers on the side were also shocked.

Dispatching thousands of vehicles to transport troops at a time is difficult for even devils to do.

What is a motorized unit? This is called a real motorized force.

Two words, cow break!

"The chief of staff stayed at the command headquarters and used walkie-talkies to contact him in case of emergency."

"Let's go, let's go to the front and take a look at the situation on the left flank position."

District Chief Lu was also full of energy, picked up the binoculars from the table and walked out the door, and the political commissar and guards, as well as several combat staff officers, followed quickly.

The walkie-talkies of the Jizhong troops were given by the headquarters, but there were not many troops equipped with them, and they were only equipped at the battalion level, so the Jizhong headquarters was naturally equipped.

District Chief Lu rode his horse and soon came to the headquarters of the defending troops on the left.

The troops responsible for commanding the defensive forces on the left were the troops of the Second Army Division of the Jizhong Military Region.

District Chief Lu stepped on the ladder and looked towards the left flank position.

In the smoke of gunpowder, I saw that the battle on the position had reached a fever pitch, and hundreds of soldiers on both sides were engaged in a fierce white-knives battle on the position.

The white-knuckle battle has been going on for some time, and the positions are covered with the corpses of fighters on both sides.

What a melee, the perfect combination of military will, courage and fighting skills.

Even if they are not the elite of the Jizhong Army, they dare to fight bayonets with the devils of the A Division, and there is no one who is instigated by them.

The troops that dare to see the red with bayonets are the ones that are excellent.

The white-knuckle battle was like a knockout match in a sports competition, and in less than a quarter of an hour, most of the people on both sides fell, and those who survived were the assassins.

On the rear artillery positions, the Jizhong troops gathered several hundred artillery pieces, including 60-mm mortars, 82-mm mortars, and more than 100 75-mm mountain guns, and carried out a blocking artillery bombardment at a position 150 meters in front of the position.

Dense explosions took place in front of the position, and smoke rose from the sky.

The overwhelming sound of explosions drowned out the shouts of killing and the sound of bayonets colliding on the position.

District Chief Lu's blocking artillery tactics really worked, and the devils who came up with reinforcements were either killed or bombed so that they didn't dare to come forward.

Of course, with the support of Li Yunlong, the Jizhong Military Region can afford to fight such a rich battle.

More than half a year ago, the Jizhong troops were only a pure second-level military region troops, and they were chased everywhere by 20,000 or 30,000 devils.

However, this time is different from the past, and the current troops of the Jizhong Military Region are directly facing one division of the first division and two division of the second division of the Japanese army.

without falling into the wind.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the reserve 2 brigade.

Doodoooooo –

The sound of the rush trumpet sounded.

"Rush, !!"

"Kill, !!"

In the overwhelming explosions, the overwhelming shouts of killing sounded, and the soldiers of the 2nd Reserve Brigade began to charge towards the left flank position, like a gray tide sweeping towards the position.

On the ground, although the rest are assassination masters.

But there are not many devils left, and the remaining devils' physical strength is almost to the limit.

With the participation of the Reserve 2nd Brigade in the white-knuckle battle, the white-hot white-knuckle battle situation instantly formed a one-sided situation.

Even if it takes a few fighters to deal with a devil.

However, the strength of the Eighth Route Army still has an absolute advantage, and the batch that came up are all the main elite troops that are refreshed.

In less than five minutes, all the devils fell.

An elite brigade of devils was completely annihilated, and the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties.

……

As the cannon fire stopped.

The Reserve 2 Brigade took over the positions on the left flank and quickly gained a foothold.

"Yaga, Ya Lu!"

In the Japanese headquarters, watching the Eighth Route Army carry out blocking artillery bombardment and the main attacking force was blocked, Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori angrily pulled out the lieutenant general's sword and snapped the table in front of him.

He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong would not hesitate to throw tens of thousands of shells to shell the front of the left flank position.

Directly formed a zone of artillery fire.

Under intensive artillery fire, the attacking forces simply could not go up.

The sound of artillery stopped, which meant that the attacking elite brigade that took the lead in rushing into the position of the Eighth Route Army had all been shattered.

Seeing that he had lost the best opportunity to occupy the left flank of the Eighth Route Army, Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori was furious.

Seio Nishihara on the side also sighed.

It's not that the locust army is incompetent, but that the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, and the locust army lacks air support...

If the locust army has air support for this attack, it will be able to take out the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

And without the blocking and artillery bombardment, the infantry of the Locust Army can capture the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!

Pity...

"How is the offensive of the 40th and 56th divisions?" Takamori tasked with a frown.

He had already ordered an attack on all fronts, and the 40th and 56th Divisions also dispatched their main forces to attack the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the elite reserve troops of the Eighth Route Army had already reinforced the left flank position.

The 11th Division also lost an excellent opportunity to occupy the left flank of the Eighth Route Army.

"The attack of the 40th Division and then the 56th Division was not smooth, especially the 40th Division, and the losses were not small."

Chief of Staff Seio Nishihara replied.

Although the attack of the 40th Division and the 56th Division did not go smoothly was expected by Takashi Takamori, after all, even the 11th Division did not capture the position of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention the 40th Division and the 56th Division?

But hearing the news, Takashi Mori was still ugly.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, a second-level military region, were so difficult to fight.

If the locust army encounters the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, such as the New Regiment and the 129th Division, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to fight.

"By the way, Lieutenant General Sun Liangcheng, commander of the Second Front Army of the Locust Allied Army, called back, he was very grateful for the opportunity to join the nationality of the Great Japanese Empire, expressed his willingness to join the Great Japanese Empire, and also said that the Second Front Army would hold on to Shimen City and Zhengding for two days until the last man in the battle."

Looking at the solemn and gloomy expression on Takashi Takamori's face, Seio Nishihara said good news.

As expected by Seio Nishihara, Takamori Takashi heard the news, and his face suddenly softened by two points.

What if Sun Liangcheng could hold Shimen City and Zhengding for two days, and let him join the nationality of the Great Japanese Empire?

"As long as the store and Zhengding are still in our hands, the main force of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will not be able to pass, and we are still very safe."

Takashi Takamori nodded and continued:

"Although the locust army will not be able to capture the positions of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops for a while and a half, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not have the strength to launch a counteroffensive against us."

"Order all units to suspend the offensive and sum up experience!"

"Hey!" Seio Nishihara bowed his head suddenly, turned around and went to give the order.

……

At the same time.

On the highway from Shimen City to Jinju, a convoy of more than 10 kilometers long is heading towards the Jinju battlefield.

All Jiefang trucks, each truck loaded with a new regiment of heavily armed composite battalion fighters.

Some of the Liberation trucks were loaded with shells and artillery, and behind the Liberation trucks, new 122-mm howitzers were pulled.

In addition to trucks and howitzers, there are more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles.

Li Yunlong sat in a jeep and looked at his majestic marching team with binoculars, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face!
