The atmosphere in the Datong headquarters was a little tense, the main force of the Japanese army had already surrounded Datong from three sides, and although the new 33rd Army had prepared combat materials, the news about Liao Fan was once again pushed to the cusp.

The Japanese spies lurking in Datong once again spread the news of Liao Fan's death among the common people, but under Huang Changsheng's compulsory order, no soldier in the army dared to talk about Liao Fan.

But as the rumors spread more and more, although the soldiers didn't talk about it, they understood more and more in their hearts that I was afraid that Liao Fan's matter was true.

The main force of the Japanese army besieged Datong from three directions, and the little devils also understood very well that the siege of the city was the reason for the attack on the heart, although they had an absolute advantage over Datong's troops in terms of numbers, especially that they still had armored troops, but if they really fought with the new 33rd Army, they would definitely lose both.

Therefore, the Japanese army decided to spread the news of Liao Fan's death first to shake the morale of the New 33rd Army.

Of course, Huang Changsheng and Li Weimin also knew that the wind about Liao Fan's death was blowing again in Datong City, although they were suppressed among the troops, but once they had a problem with the command and were thwarted by the little devil once, the problem would immediately become acute, and directly poke a big hole in the troops on the front line, like a balloon that was blowing air, and quickly dried up.

The only way to solve this problem is Liao Fan, as long as Liao Fan can wake up and stand in front of the soldiers, all rumors will be self-defeating. But now the doctors can't guarantee that Liao Fan will wake up, how can they let Liao Fan stand in front of the soldiers.

The situation in Datong is not a crisis, but it is a bit of a strong outsider, just because there is no support from Liao Fan.

"The little devil is definitely not here to congratulate us, we must fight this battle, otherwise our situation will take a turn for the worse!"

Huang Changsheng looked at Li Weimin, whose face was still a little pale, and he was also a little nervous in his heart, the combat method of their special operations brigade was completely different from the large combat method of the large army, and now he wanted to arrange nearly 40,000 troops in Datong, and he was a little lacking.

However, with Li Weimin here, Huang Changsheng was a little relieved at that time, but he was still worried that the troops would not be able to fight this battle, so that the little devil would take advantage of the situation.

"The Japanese army we are facing now has reached more than 60,000 troops, and it is estimated that the Japanese army will send more troops to the front line in the next few days, and we are facing a lot of pressure!"

In such a large-scale defensive battle, Li Weimin lacked confidence in his heart, as the saying goes, a hundred secrets are sparse, what he is worried about is this omission, so that the little devils will take advantage of the loopholes, and the rout of the 40,000 army is very "spectacular".

"As long as the little devils don't surround Datong, we can send the supplies and soldiers from behind!"

In Datong, the Japanese army only surrounded Datong from three sides, and the rear road of the troops in Datong was not cut off by the Japanese army. The main reason is that although the Japanese army has an advantage in strength, they do not dare to disperse their forces, for fear of being broken by the Chinese army.

In particular, the troops bypassing Datong may be attacked from both sides by the Chinese army's reinforcements and the Datong defenders, and if they cannot take Datong in a short time, the troops bypassing Datong will have only a dead end.

In order to concentrate its forces and consume the vital strength of the New 33rd Army, the Japanese army decided to set up a position in front of Datong and fight to the death with the New 33rd Army. At least the Japanese had the advantage of armored clusters.

"The Japanese army hasn't figured out our situation yet, so they don't dare to rush in, just now Lao Hu and Lao Ma also sent news, they were also attacked by the Japanese army, it seems that this time the Japanese army is going to eat us!" Li Weimin said.

Now the entire New 33rd Army has been attacked by little devils from the west, north, and east, and only the Japanese army in Hebei can really threaten Taihang Mountain. If the Japanese army in Hebei really wants to gather troops, it will not be less than the Japanese army faced by Datong, and Ma Wanzhong's division has a maximum of 20,000 men, and the area defended is larger than the area defended by Li Weimin, so these three sides, counting Ma Wanzhong's troops in the east are under the greatest pressure.

Of course, they were not worried about the attack of the Japanese army in Shanxi on Hu Guoshan's division at all, and what they should be worried about should be the little devils in Shanxi, whose strength was inferior to Hu Guoshan's division, and they also took the initiative to provoke Hu Guoshan. Don't look at Hu Guoshan's usual five big and three rough looks, but when it comes to military issues, he is thoughtful.

The most important thing for Li Weimin and Huang Changsheng at present is to take care of their troops.

"Should we tell Brother Liao about what we are doing here?" Li Weimin asked.

Li Weimin shook his head: "I can't tell Brother Liao, now that Brother Liao has just gone back, it's not appropriate for us to call him back in a hurry." ”

Now on the border of Datong, Huang Changsheng has arranged for the communication troops to notify them, and all the troops have been put under martial law, in order to prevent the little devil's troops from engaging in sneak attacks and sabotage.

In particular, Yingxian County, as an important county seat on the rear supply line of Datong, is a transfer station connecting Taihang Mountain, Datong and Shanyin, and there can be no problems.

The rear is stable with complete supplies, and Li Weimin and Huang Changsheng are ready for a decisive battle with the little devil.

As for Ma Wanzhong, who was far away in Jingcheng, he didn't have such an easy burden as Hu Guoshan and Li Weimin, the last time the Japanese army attacked Jingcheng, they were able to get out of trouble safely, all thanks to Shen Zhengwen and the brothers of the mine protection team to go deep behind enemy lines, so that the little devil gave up the attack.

It is precisely because of the transfer of thousands of miles to the mine protection team that the mine protection team was almost wiped out, and only a few hundred soldiers remained.

Although the mine protection team has been recruiting troops recently, the time is too short, and it is difficult for the mine protection team to have a strong combat effectiveness before it is formed. However, the daring personality of the mine protection team left a deep impression on both Ma Wanzhong and the little devil.

The Japanese army in Hebei can be said to be determined to win the Jingcheng mining area, although they took the initiative to withdraw last time, so they lost a lot of troops and did not take much advantage. After going back, the Japanese army can be described as a fierce soldier, ready to fight the new 33rd Army in the Jingcheng area at one time.

This time the Japanese army was fully prepared, and in order not to have the situation last time, the Japanese army staff headquarters also specially supplemented the Japanese army in Hebei and updated the equipment.

For Ma Wanzhong's division, after learning of the Japanese attack, the focus of their defense was still on the Zhengtai East Line located south of the Jingcheng Mining Area, as for the defense line north of the Jingcheng Mining Area, the Japanese army would inevitably attack, but the main force would inevitably press on the Jingcheng City.

Jingxian has been a battleground for soldiers since the Warring States, and the Chinese have fought on this land for thousands of years, exhausting all kinds of concurrency means.

However, for both sides, it is now their own war, and only when one side is completely defeated can the other side live in peace on this land.

Ma Wanzhong also learned the lesson of the last time, this time he did not give up, but arranged the defense line and waited for the Japanese attack.

The Japanese army in Shanxi was the first to launch a counterattack, but the real large-scale offensive began from Hebei. The Japanese armored units, as the pioneers, launched a fierce attack on the first line of defense laid out by Ma Wanzhong.

The little devil's tank is the most arrogant, although the flying thunder cannon prepared by the new 33rd Army early in the morning can be said to be an artifact, as long as one hits is enough to knock the little devil's tank to the nest. However, the flying thunder cannon has the shortcomings of the flying thunder cannon, the loading speed is slow, it cannot carry out accurate strikes, and it is fighting with the Japanese tank on the plain terrain, as long as the little devil's tank has full horsepower, the role of the flying thunder cannon cannot be reflected at all.

To the delight of the soldiers of Ma Wanzhong's division, after Li Weimin's division was equipped with bazookas, their division ushered in the first batch of bazookas, although it was less than half of the number of Ma Wanzhong's division, but it was enough for the soldiers on the front line.

The Japanese tanks charged so unscrupulously that they wanted to tear through the first line of defense arranged by Ma Wanzhong in one go, but the soldiers lying in the trenches had already prepared bazookas and aimed at the tanks that rushed into the firing range.

Although the bazooka made by the New 33rd Army has little power and short range, it is enough to deal with the thin-skinned tanks of the little devils.

When they were still about thirty meters away from the position, the fighters suddenly got up from the trenches and aimed their bazookas at the Japanese tanks, which had already been loaded with ammunition.

"Boom Boom"

As the explosion sounded, the Japanese tanks turned into fire coffins, lost power in an instant, and could no longer play any role.

At the beginning, the tank was blown up, and the little devils didn't care at all, after all, if they were defending their positions, they would definitely find a way to destroy the tank, the weapon that posed the greatest threat to them, in the first place.

It was precisely the little devils who did not pay attention to it at first, and frequent explosions began to be heard in front of the position, not only the tanks of the little devils, but also the armored vehicles, all became the objects of bazooka care, and at a distance of about 30 meters from the forward position, there were more than 20 fires burning, which were all destroyed tanks and armored vehicles.

After the Japanese retreated, they realized that the losses of their armored forces were too bad, and so many tanks and armored vehicles became scrap metal, and the little devil couldn't believe it.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Chinese can destroy our most powerful weapons on land so easily? ”

The Japanese front-line commander may have been a little unable to accept the reality for a while, and the new 33rd Army became a little too strong almost overnight. He clearly remembered that the last time they attacked Jingcheng, their armored troops caused the New 33rd Army to suffer a big loss.

But now in the face of the same army, the attack has become so difficult, which can make the little devil annoyed. As everyone knows, when the little devils are strengthening their combat strength, the Chinese are also using their own wisdom to change themselves, and in this protracted war, it is the wisdom of both sides that fights.
