After eating at noon, Liao Fan sat in the command headquarters and quietly waited for the news from the front. The little devils were very punctual, and appeared at the forward position on time at twelve o'clock, and under the leadership of their squadron leader, two Japanese squadrons began to spread out in the forward position.

Collecting the corpses was a lot of work, and even battle-hardened veterans were extremely reluctant to see the bloody corpses of their comrades. According to Liao Fan's order, the Japanese army first collected the corpses closest to the forward position.

The corpses closest to the forward positions were only a dozen meters away, and the soldiers of the little devils had to sneak their eyes at the Chinese positions from time to time, and then all they saw were Chinese soldiers patrolling them with guns. The little devils obviously didn't care if they exposed their thoughts, and even a few little devils looked directly at the Chinese position.

Peeping into the defenses of the Chinese positions, this is not just an order given to them by their superiors, in fact, they also want to know what this line of defense looks like, if they don't figure it out, they can only wait for their companions to come and collect their corpses.

The work of collecting corpses at the forward position was carried out in an orderly manner, and the little devil had no intention of making trouble. However, Ma Wanzhong didn't think so, thinking that more than 80 percent of the corpses of the little devils were concentrated at a distance of 100 meters from the forward position, and at a distance of 100 meters, if a group was negligent, the little devils would be able to get close to their position in less than a minute.

The commander of the little devil had been standing on the hillside watching the work at the front of the position, and in two days, more than a thousand of their soldiers had died, and countless warriors were lying in the hospital. Gangcun Ningci sent telegrams from Wuhan every day to scold him with blood, and if it weren't for the change of battle, he, the commander-in-chief of the front, would have been removed from his post long ago.

And last night, he had already received the news that Shanxi had made a pot of porridge at this time, and the anti-Japanese armed forces behind the enemy seemed to have received an order, and when their troops were empty, they suddenly attacked, and it was said that this stronghold in the northwest of Shanxi had been captured by the Eighth Route Army, so the commander of the little devil wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.

Now he has an opportunity in front of him, as long as he can grasp this opportunity, he will be able to break through the first line of defense of the Chinese army, and then send a telegram to Gangcun Ningji to ask for credit.

At this time, Gangcun Ningci was sitting in the headquarters of Wuhan and worried, everything went well a few days ago, but since the army attacked Taihang Mountain, it seems that everything has changed. Not only did the troops in Taihang Mountain suffer frequent setbacks, but now the troops attacking the Fifth Theater also encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army.

No matter how the planes and tanks bombed the positions of the Chinese army, the Chinese soldiers would rather die than retreat, and the Japanese front-line troops did not make the slightest progress in one day today. It seemed that they were about to approach and take the old estuary, but in the position twenty miles away from the old estuary, a Sichuan army force with its rudimentary equipment forcibly blocked them.

"The well-equipped Central Army was defeated, and the Gui Army, which was fighting for its own sake, was defeated, why was this Sichuan Army able to hold out for so long?" Gangmura Ninji couldn't figure out what the Sichuan army, with three people and one gun, relied on to resist the frantic attack of their armored vehicles, tanks and planes.

"Order the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry to support the 3rd Division, which is responsible for the frontal advance, and let them attack the Chinese troops defending the front from the flanks!"

The Japanese Third Division suffered a setback, and Gangcun Ningji had to redeploy his troops, wanting to use cavalry to break through the Japanese troops defending at the front, so that all the troops could approach Laohekou as soon as possible and destroy the headquarters of Li Zongren in the Fifth Theater.

However, there was a roar in the sky, which made Gangcun Ningji's heavy heart become painful. It turned out that the roar was thunder, and as the thunder rang out, raindrops began to fall in the sky. The originally hot and humid weather in Wuhan also began to become refreshing with the rain dripping, but Gangcun Ningci was still sweating profusely.

It finally rained again in Hubei, and Li Zongren kept complaining that God always had a gloomy face and didn't give them a drop of rain. Now, God is finally raining at the most critical time. In the middle of the afternoon, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the roads, which were not very good, became muddy, and the little devils' horses and trucks were stuck in the mud, and it was difficult to take a step forward.

"Order...... Li Zongren began to dispatch troops, this is an important opportunity given to him by God, as long as he seizes this opportunity, he will be able to bring back the inferior position in these days of warfare, and then regain the initiative on the battlefield.

At this time, the battle of Suizao had reached a critical moment, and a heavy rain in the sky brought Li Zongren a wonderful opportunity, this was his last chance to turn defeat into victory, because the little devil was still twenty miles away from his headquarters.

Gangcun Ningci kept sending telegrams to the troops on the front line to speed up the march, and Li Zongren also kept giving his troops the latest combat orders, telling them to rush to the designated place as quickly as possible. The rain was pouring down, and the two legs were obviously a step faster than a four-wheeled car.

The soldiers who braved the rain were racing against time, and they had reduced the weight of their bodies to the lightest, except for weapons and ammunition, they had discarded their clothes and bedding, all in order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible.

After a day and a night of forced marching in the rain, the troops of the Fifth Theater finally reached the established position, and the troops of the Fifth Theater completed the final encirclement of the Japanese Third Division. But the war did not end with the encirclement of a small devil division in the 5th theater of operations.

The moment Gangmura Ninji learned that the Third Division was surrounded, he immediately mobilized all his troops to rescue the Third Division, and a decisive battle kicked off in the Fifth War Zone, and hundreds of thousands of troops were continuously sent to the battlefield.

Liao Fan of Taihang Mountain is also praying for rain, obviously God gives Li Zongren face but does not give Liao Fan face, the sun is shining, and the little devils who attack seem to be too lazy to pick up their guns. The collection of corpses was halfway through, and the corpses within eighty meters of the front of the position had been collected.

"Flag Talk!" The commander of the little devil commanded one of the soldiers beside him.

The two squadron leaders of the Japanese army who were in charge of collecting the corpses seemed to see the flag at the same time, and began to scream in their mouths, and the Japanese soldiers who were collecting the corpses suddenly left aside the corpses of their companions in their hands, picked up their guns and rushed towards the Chinese positions.

"Bang Bang Bang"

With the sound of the gun, several soldiers standing guard died under the guns of the little devils before they could react. At the same time, the Chinese soldiers, who were waiting in the position, also opened fire.

Obviously, Ma Wanzhong's preparation played a role, and at the moment when the gun rang out, the hidden soldier quickly set up the machine gun and continued to shoot long shots, as long as the little devil who was targeted had no chance to escape.

"Da Da Da"

The ferocious firepower of machine guns and submachine guns was much better than that of the little devil's rifles, and when the Japanese troops charged at the Chinese positions, they were instantly suppressed and could not raise their heads at all.

The two sides were firing at each other, and the commander of the little devil certainly did not think that he would be able to take the position of the Chinese army with only two squadrons, and before the operation, he had already ordered the troops of the two brigades to stand by, and as long as they waited for the order, they would act immediately.

The sound of gunfire was a good order, and the two battalions of imps began to attack the Chinese troops in the entire line of defense in a charging formation.

"Boom Boom"

The violent explosion and the air wave generated by the explosion made the attacking little devils feel terrified, and the shells pouring in the sky fell, dealing a fatal blow to the Japanese troops exposed in the open space, and the Japanese soldiers left dozens of corpses in an instant.

The two Japanese squadrons that suddenly attacked were suppressed at a distance of 50 meters from the forward position, and in the face of the ferocious fire of the machine guns, they were now only passively beaten, and before the supporting troops arrived, they had already lost the strength of a squadron.

The Japanese did not receive an order to retreat, and they were still struggling to support themselves. Ma Wanzhong saw the Japanese troops coming from the telescope, in fact, he had already prepared, but he didn't expect the artillery battalion to give them support at this time, but Ma Wanzhong didn't plan to waste his preparations.

"Use the flying thunder cannon to deal with the Japanese army in front of us as soon as possible, we can't waste time with them!"

At a distance of fifty meters, the flying thunder cannon can be said to be where to hit.

"Boom Boom"

The power of the flying thunder cannon is much stronger than the shell, more than a dozen catties of yellow explosives were ejected out, falling into the enemy group, the surrounding little devils are either dead or injured, just five minutes of bombardment, the remaining little devils were blown up and the bones are gone.

A regiment of deployed machine guns quickly returned to their original positions to resist the follow-up attack of the two brigades of the little devils. Liao Jundong saw that the situation ahead was stable, so he ordered to stop firing, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion had no choice but to endure the itch in their hearts and obey the order.

The commander of the little devil saw that the attack failed, so he gave the order to retreat, but it was a pity that this attack took the lives of nearly a brigade of imperial soldiers.

And Ma Wanzhong on the position became the most worried person, the little devil suddenly made a difficulty, which means that the little devil can not rely on the little devil to collect the corpse and burn it in the future, and the next work can only rely on their group of soldiers, the most important thing is that they used artillery in a battle just now, whether it is a mortar, a mountain cannon or a flying thunder cannon, the little devil who was directly hit by the shell became a pile of flesh and blood, I hope that the soldiers will be arranged to collect the corpse of the little devil at night, and it will not leave a psychological shadow on the soldiers.

Because today I was busy negotiating with the little devils, and then collecting the corpses, so today there was a battle with the little devils in the 33rd Independent Division of Taihang Mountain, and the most important reason was that the materials that the little devils had hoarded in Wangzhai and Shimen were destroyed, and now the Japanese army did not dare to launch an attack rashly.

For the first time since the little devils attacked, it was quiet in front of the position.
