"Report!"

"Just now a telegram has been sent from the General Headquarters of the Front, a new regiment of tank units has been deployed, and the cavalry units have arrived at the designated positions!"

"The commander of the new regiment ordered our Jizhong troops to immediately attack the enemy!"

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, the communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand and reported to the head of the Lu district and the political commissar of the military region.

District Magistrate Lu and the political commissar of the military region, as well as a number of high-ranking officials of the military region, suddenly showed smiles on their faces.

It's just that everyone's smiles are a little fierce.

On the Jinju battlefield, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei fought fiercely with 1 A division and 2 B divisions of the Japanese army for a whole day.

In this battle, the command of the Jizhong Military Region gambled on the fate of the entire Jizhong Military Region.

If the Jizhong Military Region withstood the Japanese attack, then based on its previous experience in cooperating with the new regiment, the Jizhong Military Region would definitely be able to make a fortune after the war.

But if the Jizhong Military Region is defeated by devils, if a large number of veterans and elites sacrifice, morale will be seriously hit.

Then the troops of the Jizhong Military Region will fall into a state of slump from now on.

Fortunately.

The troops of the Jizhong Military Region, under the onslaught of the devils, finally held out until the main force of the new regiment arrived.

"Pass my orders!"

"The troops of the Jizhong Military Region will give me a counterattack on all fronts!"

District Chief Lu rolled up his sleeves, and his tone was fierce and murderous.

Mr. Lu was born in the Northeast Army, and successively served as a company commander, battalion commander, division staff chief, and regiment commander in the Northeast Army.

Since 1933, he has participated in the Anti-Japanese War in Rehe.

In 1936, he organized the Northeast Armed Comrades Anti-Japanese Salvation Vanguard, served as the general captain, and participated in the "Xi'an Incident".

Old man Lu has been fighting Japanese devils for nearly ten years!

This year is the happiest year for Master Lu to fight Japanese devils!

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer straightened up and turned around to give the order for an all-out counterattack to all units.

With the issuance of the order of the Jizhong Command, all brigades and regiments of the Jizhong Military Region sounded the clarion call for an all-out counterattack.

"I have long heard that the new regiment is the most capable unit of our Eighth Route Army, and now we can finally see the mystery of this army."

There is an operational staff tone looking forward to it.

"Isn't it?"

Another combat staff officer said:

"The new regiment has a large number of tanks and heavy artillery, and the devils can't win when they see it."

"Did you hear the previous two waves of cannons?"

"That's a new regiment of heavy artillery firing at the devil."

District Chief Lu said with a slight smile, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

He also wanted to meet the commander of the new regiment, Li Yunlong, and the mental outlook of the troops of the new regiment.

After this battle, the Jizhong Military Region should be able to make a fortune, right?

……

The western front of the Jinju battlefield.

Tanigawa Quanji Osa, led the 11th Cavalry Wing, urging the war horses to kill the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army.

It didn't take long for Tanigawa to see the defeated 56th Wing of the Baggage.

Nagasaki Yoshio Nakasa and the rest of the baggage soldiers were overjoyed when they saw the cavalry coming to meet them.

"The cavalry unit of the Locust Army has arrived."

"Yo Xi!"

"Get on board!"

Yoshio Nagasaki and his baggage soldiers ran towards the cavalry.

The baggage soldiers and devils thought that the cavalry was here to save them.

Devils are generally short in stature and not high in weight, and there is no problem for an Oriental war horse to carry two devils for a short time.

As long as they mounted their military horses, ran into the woods, and retreated in 94 trucks, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army could not catch up.

But the next operation of the devil cavalry made the expressions of Nagasaki Yoshio Nakasa and the devil's baggage soldiers almost sluggish.

I saw hundreds of devil cavalry, some of them brandishing three-two cavalry swords, and some of them holding four-four or four cavalry rifles, and they did not slow down at all, and directly passed through the formation of the fleeing baggage troops.

There were even heavy soldiers who were ready to mount their horses, but they were knocked away by the military horses a few meters away, and they vomited blood and died.

"Nani?"

The operation of the devil cavalry almost burned the brains of Yoshio Nagasaki and the baggage soldiers.

Not only did your cavalry wing not run, but also dared to attack the hundreds of tanks of the Eighth Route Army head-on?

Isn't this death?

"Captain, what are we going to do?"

A baggage soldier asked Yoshio Nagasaki Nakasa.

Yoshio Nagasaki couldn't understand the operation of the cavalry wing, gritted his teeth and said: "The 11th cavalry wing is covering us, let's retreat immediately!" ”

At this time, Yoshio Nagasaki and his baggage soldiers could attack with the cavalry wing, or they could turn around and retreat.

However, Yoshio Nagasaki knew very well that everyone would have to die if they attacked together.

"Hey!"

"Retreat!"

Nagasaki Yoshio Nakasa immediately led the remaining hundreds of baggage soldiers to the direction of the woods.

In the woods, there was also a squadron of baggage troops, as well as hundreds of large vehicles and thousands of mules and horses, as well as a large amount of war materiel.

Perhaps at this time, the commander of the 11th Division, Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori, had already sent the main force to respond.

During the attack, Yoshio Nagasaki and his baggage soldiers went by truck, and they were murderous.

When he returned, Yoshio Nagasaki and the baggage soldiers ran back on two legs, embarrassed.

Looking at the woods 1.5 kilometers ahead, the devils couldn't help but speed up a little faster.

The other side.

"Kill and give..."

Tanigawa looked at the overwhelming tanks in front of him, which made his scalp tingle, and gave the order to charge to the death.

Seeing the dense devil cavalry rushing over, the new group of tank soldiers in the tank couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

What are the devil cavalry doing here?

Although there were only five or six hundred devil cavalry, the five or six hundred cavalry were still terrifying when they ran.

Before the devil cavalry arrived, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was the first to give the order.

"Fire!"

The new tank crews quickly understood that the devil cavalry was launching a Banzai charge.

Then he opened fire without hesitation.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

75-mm tank shells constantly exploded in the charging formation of the devil cavalry, raising a puff of explosive smoke and rolling up the sky full of debris of dirt.

Almost every shell exploded, and there were devils and military horses who fell to the ground in a terrible howl.

Even more terrifying than the explosion was the on-board M2 heavy machine gun.

"Dada......"

The dense gunfire like a popping bean sounded continuously.

There are constantly devil cavalry broken by the barricades of large-caliber heavy machine guns, and the men and horses are broken.

In the face of such ferocious artillery fire and a rain of large-caliber machine gun bullets like raindrops, almost all of the devil cavalry who charged at the tank unit were shot, and even the tank ran over the bodies of the dying military horses and devil cavalry, leaving a puddle of flesh and mud.

Times have changed.

The appearance of heavy machine guns such as Makqin, the era of cavalry is gone.

Not to mention putting the cavalry at the face of tanks, the king of land warfare!

The decisive attack of the devil cavalry on the tank unit did delay the tank unit of the Eighth Route Army for some time, but it was harmless and could not affect the direction of the entire campaign.

But the appearance of the devil cavalry.

But let the devils of the 56th Wing of the baggage soldiers live for a while longer.

With the 11th Cavalry Wing being completely annihilated, the remaining hundreds of devils of the 56th Wing of the Heavy Infantry are only 100 meters away from the woods.

In order to run faster, many devils threw away their 38 rifles and light machine guns.

Although all three divisions had spare weapons, the loss of guns was a serious matter for Japanese soldiers, but life was even more important at this time.

80 m ......

50 m ......

30 m ......

20 meters away from the edge of the woods, and the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were left far behind, and the faces of Nagasaki Yoshio Nakasa and the devil's baggage soldiers showed a trace of joy for the rest of their lives.

Just go into the woods and they can live!

The tanks of the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to outrun the cars!

But at this moment, Yoshio Nagasaki Nakasa, who was running at the front, suddenly saw pitch-black barrels sticking out of the woods, as well as black muzzles.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

Yoshio Nagasaki Nakasa exclaimed on the spot.

However, it was too late.

Da Da... Tongues of fire erupted from the edge of the woods, and dense gunfire rang out, and Yoshio Nagasaki, who was running at the forefront, was instantly beaten into a bloody sieve by a rifle bullet.

Under the fire network composed of more than 200 Type 56 submachine guns and dozens of Type 56 light machine guns.

The hundreds of devil baggage soldiers who escaped were all shot in less than two minutes.

There was a man who was injured in the leg and the slowest runner was still a few hundred meters away from the woods.

When the devil saw this, he was so frightened that his face was full of fear, and he turned around and ran.

Seeing this, Wang Yousheng was about to pick up a five-six submachine gun to shoot this devil, but he was pressed down by Duan Peng.

Duan Peng motioned to Wang Yousheng to take a look at Wang Xikui next to him.

Wang Yousheng understood in seconds, and immediately put away the five or six submachine guns, and at the same time covered his ears with both hands.

"Tom!"

With a huge gunshot, debris flew, and the head of the devil a few hundred meters away on the opposite side exploded almost synchronously, like a watermelon, it was instantly exploded, and red flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"If you hadn't grabbed people's heads with Lao Tzu."

"Lao Tzu can blow the heads of these hundreds of devils with this large-caliber semi-sniper rifle!"

Looking at the envious eyes of the team members, Wang Xikui turned off the insurance of the love gun, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his pretending tone.

"Vice Captain, when will you use this gun for me?"

Wang Yousheng coaxed.

"Fuck off!"

"As for your kid's marksmanship, let's practice it for two years first!"

Wang Xikui suddenly laughed and scolded.

"Take advantage of the wind, immediately report the situation here to the regimental headquarters, and inform the heavy tank battalion that we have occupied the woods and let them not fire into the woods."

Duan Peng's eyes calmly gave an order to the correspondent Ma Chengfeng.

"Yes!"

Ma Chengfeng immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called.

Ma Chengfeng, Wang Yousheng, Xiang Tiancheng, etc. are all very good seedlings that are worth cultivating.

……

"Report to the regiment commander, just now the Sword Brigade reported that they have occupied this piece of woods and captured a large number of combat materials, trucks, mules and horses from the three divisions of the devil."

The front headquarters of the new regiment.

After receiving the report from the Sword Brigade, the communications staff officer walked quickly to Li Yunlong's side, pointed to the map on the table and reported to Li Yunlong.

"Haha!" Li Yunlong's characteristic voice sounded, "Duan Peng, this kid, did a good job!" ”

Li Yunlong's expression was very satisfied.

A few minutes ago, he was still thinking about where the devil had hidden all the war materials, and Duan Peng reported to the regiment headquarters that a large number of baggage had been captured.

1 Division A and 2 Division B, with a peak strength of about 60,000 people.

Even if the devil was completely annihilated by a devil wing in Ziyun Mountain, in Shimen City and Zhengding, a brigade was severely damaged, and 3 brigades remained in Shimen City and Zhengding.

But the devils who left from Shimen City and Zhengding still have at least nearly 50,000 troops.

How could it be that so many devil troops did not carry trucks, mules and horses and war supplies?

The devil's baggage troops were indeed well hidden, and even the reconnaissance planes of the new regiment did not find it.

However, the sword brigade seized almost all of the devil's baggage, which really gave Li Yunlong a big surprise.

"Regiment Commander, the 6th Heavy Battalion has arrived."

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou came over and reported to Li Yunlong.

There was a huge team of more than ten kilometers, some teams arrived, and some teams were still on the way to come.

"Order Monk Wei to immediately attack the enemy from this direction."

Li Yunlong pointed to the map, looked solemn, and gave an order.

"Yes."

Wang Dehou looked at the map, turned around and went to give the order.

The direction that Li Yunlong pointed to was the northwest direction of the entire battlefield.

The devil must have fled in the direction of Bao, more than 100 kilometers north of the battlefield.

To the east of the devil, there is the main force of 60,000 troops of the Jizhong Military Region.

To the north of the devils, there are 50,000 interspersed troops of the new regiment, blocking the passage of the devils' northward advance, and the combat effectiveness of the 50,000 troops of the new regiment is several grades stronger than the 60,000 troops of the Jizhong Military Region.

It is very difficult for the devil to break through to the north.

To the east, there is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

Therefore, the devil is likely to break through to the northwest of the battlefield in a hurry.

And the newly arrived reloaded 6th Battalion can just plug this gap.

……

As Li Yunlong expected, the devil was indeed fleeing north.

But it's a pity that not long after the devil's vanguard fled north, it was subjected to intensive shelling.

Hundreds of 75-mm mountain guns and hundreds of 82-mm mortars blew up the devils on the spot.

The devils who turned in quickly broke back.

"Nani?"

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the way to the north?"

"At least 50,000 troops?"

When the Japanese army headquarters, Takashi Takamori and Naiichi Aoki heard the news, they immediately felt a chill down their spines.

Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori asked in a deep voice.

The 234th Infantry Wing of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army, which had just turned north, was shelled, and Takashi Takashi thought that the artillery unit of the Jizhong Army of the Eighth Route Army had moved to the north.

But as soon as the 234th Wing reported, Takashi Takamori realized that he was wrong.

Lieutenant General Aoki Seiichi frowned: "Eagle Sen-kun, how do I feel more and more wrong in this battle?" Where did the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the north come from? ”

Takamori's face became more and more ugly, and the old devil also smelled a trace of something unusual.

Ying Sen Xiao said in a deep voice: "The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the north should have arrived very early, if the main force of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack from behind us when we attacked the main force of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, then at this time, our three locust army divisions have been defeated by the Eighth Route Army, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army did not do this......

Speaking of this, Ying Mori Xiao paused, his face became more and more solemn and gloomy: "This shows that the Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate us!" ”

Aoki Seiichi, Seio Nishihara, and a group of devil officers, hearing Takashi Takamori's analysis, suddenly changed their faces.

"Two generals, please see."

Seio Nishihara says:

"This is the Jinju battlefield, our east is the Eighth Route Army Jizhong Army, it is difficult to defeat the Jizhong Eighth Route Army in a short period of time, and there is a main force of the Eighth Route Army in the north, and the firepower is very strong."

"There are hundreds of tanks of the Eighth Route Army in the west, attacking us!"

"If the Eighth Route Army is planning to annihilate us, it must have deployed troops to the south of the battlefield."

"Ironclad tactics?" Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki gasped when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Seio Nishihara nodded solemnly and said.

"Report, the Eighth Route Army of Jizhong just east has launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Locust Army!"

An operations staff officer ran over to hear the report.

When the devil officers heard this, their faces became more and more ugly.

If the Eighth Route Army really used the iron-walled encirclement tactics, then the all-out counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei showed that the iron-walled encirclement tactics had been formed at this time and began to narrow the encirclement.

The Eighth Route Army surrounded all the locust army in the circle, and then used the iron-rolled triple sweeping tactic invented by General Okamura Ninji to deal with the locust army in the encirclement......

Just thinking about it, the devil officers can't help but feel numb in their scalps!

"Northeast!"

Seio Nishihara pointed to the map and said:

"In the northeast, the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops and the Eighth Route Army infantry must have been connected together."

"The tanks of the Eighth Route Army are coming from the west, and in the northwest direction of the battlefield, there is definitely no encirclement yet."

"Your Excellency the division commander, this is the weak point of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, we should break through from here immediately!"

"We have military horses, and we can quickly break through from the northwest of the battlefield." Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki said worriedly, "But what about our soldiers? How did they break through? ”

Once these officers broke through from the west on horseback, they would definitely be discovered by the Eighth Route Army.

They may be able to break out of the encirclement, but the Eighth Route Army will definitely be able to find the weak point in the encirclement and quickly plug it.

At that time, tens of thousands of locust armies will be completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

"I can't care about that much!" Nishihara Seio said in a deep voice, "As much as you can break through, you can break through as much as you want, and the other troops can order them to disperse and break through, and then move towards Baoding!" ”

Takashi nodded indifferently: "Let's break through immediately, Nishihara-kun, you stay and immediately issue an order to the various wings to break through and transfer to Baoding!" ”

"Hey."

Seio Nishihara opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only pause.

Takashi Takamori and Seiichi Aoki, as well as a group of devil officers, turned on their horses and ran towards the northwest of the battlefield.

Seio Nishihara and a communications squad from the 11th Division headquarters remained in place.

"Turn on the radio and order all wings and brigades to disperse and break through and move towards Baoding!"

Seio Nishihara looked at the leader of the communication team and ordered in a deep voice.

"Hey."

The communications team leader bowed his head suddenly.

Two lieutenant generals and officers of the division and regimental headquarters, under the protection of more than 100 devil cavalry, rushed towards the northwest of the battlefield.

At this time, the heavy synthetic battalion led by Wei Dayong had not yet arrived.

The north-western direction of the battlefield is indeed the weak point of the encirclement.

However, the devil's movements were discovered by a new regiment of troops from the north.

A dense rain of shells soon fell on the devil cavalry.

At the same time, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Eighth Route Army and intercepted the devil cavalry.

……

(It's the end of the month, ask for a double monthly pass, thank you!) ）
