Chapter 646: It didn't go well

"Slowly, how are your captain and the mine guard team doing?"

Ma Wanzhong was very excited after hearing the news of the mine protection team, the mine protection team went behind the enemy for so long, and exchanged their safety for the safety of the Jingcheng area, especially since there was no news of the mine protection team, Ma Wanzhong was even more restless.

The soldier of the mine protection team took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Ma Wanzhong, which was the retreat route of the mine protection team drawn by Shen Zhengwen.

"Commander Ma, this is the retreat route that our captain drew in front of me, and he will order the troops to cross the blockade line at noon today! Hope ......"

"Troop assembly!"

Before Ma Wanzhong could finish speaking, he immediately ordered the surrounding troops to gather and prepare to rescue the mine protection team.

"Chief of Staff, how is the training of our armored forces?"

In Ma Wanzhong's division, there were three Japanese Type 95 tanks and five Japanese armored vehicles, which were all the armored forces of Ma Wanzhong's division, and the rest were trucks captured from the Japanese army.

"Division Commander, the most basic knowledge is the most basic, if you talk about tactical literacy, but there is no at all!"

Ma Wanzhong has not been trained for Butan cooperative operations, and it would be good if he could go to the battlefield without killing his own people.

"No matter how much, let the armored forces follow! On the battlefield, they will cooperate! ”

Ma Wanzhong led his troops to personally meet the return of the mine protection team.

……

In Datong, after Liao Fan got the information, he arranged tasks for the troops, and the large army began to march towards the Great Wall, and their second phase of the battle plan was about to begin, as long as the second section of the plan was completed, they could cut off the passage of the Japanese army in Shanxi to the north.

After the Japanese commander returned to Taiyuan, he ordered the troops to assemble as quickly as possible, and now was their best chance. Now that the New 33rd Army has gone north, and the National Army and the Eighth Route Army have also started fighting, what they need is such an opportunity.

Tens of thousands of troops marched northward, and these soldiers were all excellent soldiers of the New 33rd Army, who had sufficient weapons and ammunition and sufficient logistical supplies. Every soldier was in high spirits, and they came to the battlefield with the dream of defending their homes and defending the country.

Along the way, the New 33rd Army did not engage in large-scale battles except for sweeping the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army.

When there were still five miles away from the forward position of the Japanese army, Shen Zhengwen ordered the troops to build fortifications on the spot and confront the Japanese army. The troops had already missed the good opportunity brought by the previous heavy rain, and in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, the new 33rd Army could only use its best fighting method - night attack - to launch the first wave of attacks.

However, the Japanese army was also on guard, and the new 33rd Army had a great reputation since it first came out, and the Japanese army had suffered repeated losses on the battlefield, so it was impossible not to study the fighting style that the New 33rd Army was best at.

As night fell, the Japanese set up huge searchlights on their positions, because they did not have to worry that the Chinese would bomb them with planes. Moreover, the Japanese army also prepared a large number of flares, just to guard against the night attack of the new 33rd Army.

The night became brighter than the day, and the battalion commander, who was the commando leader, saw the situation on the Japanese position, and his teeth itched with hatred, so he could only angrily order the troops to retreat, waiting for tomorrow night to see the situation.

"Is it the same on both the Eastern and Western fronts?" Li Weimin asked about the situation in other directions.

"Report to the division commander, our situation is similar to the situation encountered by the battalion commander Fang, there is a huge searchlight every twenty or thirty meters on the little devil's position, and there are no dead ends at all at the distance of one hundred meters in front of the position, we were discovered by the little devil as soon as we showed up, and a soldier was injured!"

"Division commander, the Japanese army has really made a bloody investment this time, I have been lying in the field for more than three hours, and the patrol of the Japanese army has also been significantly strengthened, and the patrol team is even denser than the intelligence, so we have no way to start at all, unless we attack!"

The intelligence sent back by the scouts was not wrong, these things were all temporarily increased by the little devils in order to deal with the night raids of the New 33rd Army, and on the battlefield, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the situation was changing rapidly.

"You go back and take the troops first, try again tomorrow night, if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way!"

Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army has made complete preparations to deal with the attack of the new 33rd Army. However, the 35,000-strong army could not be withdrawn because of the slightest difficulty.

"If the night attack doesn't work, we'll attack!"

At this time, Li Weimin realized that the Japanese army was still very strong, at least in terms of basic development, the Japanese army was much stronger than them, although they had a power plant in Taihang Mountain, but it was only supplied to schools and hospitals, where could it be as generous as the Japanese army.

Even the large searchlights on the position, they did not have a single one in the entire defense area.

If the New 33rd Army really has the equipment of little devils, then there is no need to rely on night attacks, such as airplanes, if the New 33rd Army really has airplanes, the Japanese army will be able to blow up their positions at night, not to mention using searchlights, or using a torch.

"If God opens his eyes, there will be another heavy rain, even if it is only for an hour!"

It's a pity that there is no weather forecast in this clear sky, even if there is a weather forecast, it can't be said that it will rain when it rains, at least Li Weimin doesn't have Zhao Caizhu's ability, and he can see the clouds and recognize God's face.

The armies of both sides did not sit idle, and launched a tentative attack during the day, with casualties on both sides, and the soldiers proved that the information provided by their scouts was accurate, at least the soldiers did not suffer in front of the Japanese bunkers.

However, the soldiers did not destroy the important fortifications of the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the New 33rd Army reached a stalemate at the beginning of the battle.

Liao Fan had already expected that the battle would not go well, because when they attacked Datong, it was too smooth, and when they were preparing for the second phase of the offensive plan, the Japanese army was also preparing, and by the way, they also learned about the combat style of the new 33rd Army.

When a Japanese army command began to study the New 33rd Army and wanted to target the New 33rd Army, at least he would not be defeated too quickly, and the Japanese army successfully contained the official affairs of the New 33rd Army on the first day.

However, for Liao Fan, this is not a bad thing, since they came to Taihang Mountain, they have faced a lot of hard battles, but the development of the new 33rd Army is too smooth. There is a feeling of pride and complacency spreading among the troops, just like the last time the Japanese army attacked Jingcheng, the reason why they faced such a situation, Ma Wanzhong almost let the little devil be destroyed, it was because Ma Wanzhong was too proud and too light on the enemy.

Although the setback of the troops is easy to hit the morale of the soldiers, it depends on which unit it is, and Liao Fan will not believe that his troops will collapse.

"Brother Fan, transfer our heavy artillery, otherwise we will definitely lose a lot of troops when we capture the defense line of the Great Wall!" Huang Changsheng didn't expect that their troops would suffer such difficulties from the beginning.

Liao Fan just shook his head gently, since the Great Wall was built, all dynasties and dynasties will maintain it, and the Great Wall cannot be destroyed in their own hands, even if it is not for the sake of traditional Chinese culture, they must also think about themselves.

In the future*, who will remember their bloody battles against the Japanese army on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives to protect this weak country? Those who live in peace will not remember their hardships, only how many ancient Chinese civilizations they destroyed with artillery.

"Brother Fan, Master Ma's telegram!" A soldier ran into Liao Fan's headquarters and handed the telegram to Liao Fan.

"Good thing, the mine protection team finally has news, and Lao Tzu knows that Shen Zhengwen, this kid, will not go to see Lord Yama so easily!"

Liao Fan hadn't seen such happy news for a long time, although he didn't know what the mine protection team had experienced behind enemy lines, but it would definitely not be easy to think about it, after facing the encirclement and interception of the little devils for so long, he was able to come back, obviously Shen Zhengwen, as a commander, must have played a lot of roles.

"This is good news, the mine protection team has finally had news after many difficulties and dangers, it seems that Shen Zhengwen's military command ability is not ordinary!"

Now the New 33rd Army from top to bottom believes that the mine guard team is the only unit in the New 33rd Army that has been wiped out by the Japanese army, and no one can think that they will come back alive.

"Lao Ma has already led the troops to respond, I hope the mine protection team can return safely!"

At this time, the mine protection team is facing the biggest crisis, and they are entangled by little devils. In addition to the Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese troops on the blockade line also participated in the battle, and the mine protection team was already encircled.

After breaking through the siege three times without success, Shen Zhengwen decisively ordered the troops to switch to a defensive state.

"Captain, the Japanese army is deploying troops!" The one-armed staff officer said to Shen Zhengwen.

"The Japanese thought we were going to break through and put the main forces in front of us, but it seems that you are right, I should listen to your advice!" Shen Zhengwen said to his staff officer.

"Captain, it's right to save the people, but we don't think the same!"

It is certainly right to save the people as an army, but in the end, it led to the annihilation of their entire army, and it is obviously not a situation that one person can change.

"The Japanese army will be able to react in a while, and when the time comes, they will attack us, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out alive!" Shen Zhengwen shook his head, "It's a pity that those ordinary people still haven't escaped death." ”

The one-armed staff officer did not speak, the situation on the battlefield was like this, and no one could have predicted what would happen in the next second. Shen Zhengwen was able to lead his troops to such a result in the first battle, and looking at the entire New 33rd Army, how many people could do this.

The mine protection team made a big circle in the enemy's war zone, bypassing the encirclement and interception of many Japanese puppet troops, but in the end, they were wiped out.
