Chapter 793: The Decisive Battle of Taihang Mountain (15)
The Kwantung Army was bent on showing their strong combat effectiveness in front of the Japanese army in North China, and they were the most powerful troops leading the Imperial Japanese Army. Therefore, after the Kwantung Army reached the front line, it went crazy and attacked the positions held by the Chinese soldiers.
The Japanese army's tidal attack made the troops on the front line unbearable at all, and they still had time to catch their breath between battles, but now the soldiers were eager to grow three heads and six arms. The forward positions were lost for a time, but fortunately reinforcements arrived in time to help the troops on the front line recapture the lost positions and stabilize the situation.
The Kwantung Army finally admitted that it was not fought by itself, and after losing a battle for position, the offensive was suspended.
"Gather all the ammunition you can collect on the battlefield!" The company commander urged the soldiers not to rest, now is not the time to rest, the Japanese offensive will not stop, they must make preparations.
The company commander already knew that Hu Guoshan had given the order to hold on for two days, and these two days would be the most difficult time, with no supplies, no support troops, and no one to cover their retreat even after two days.
But he couldn't tell the soldiers the news for the time being, he didn't know what was going on in the hearts of the fighters at this time, he wanted to keep the faith in the hearts of the fighters to fight, and only faith could support their tired bodies.
Having faith in critical moments can help them get through the hardest of times.
……
For the first time, the Kwantung Army met their opponents, and they did not blame Okamura Ninji's troops for not keeping up with them, and then stabilized the positions they had captured. For the first time, they encountered such a strong Chinese army, they could not even believe that it was a Chinese army, and they began to suspect that the combat effectiveness of their troops was declining.
"We have been able to capture the positions held by the Chinese army, but we did not stabilize it in time, and the reinforcements of the Chinese army came up! If you capture the position of the Chinese army next time, you must first stabilize it, and then use this as a support to attack the Chinese army's position in depth! ”
The Kwantung Army began to learn their lessons, they admitted that their opponents were tough, but they also admitted that they were not enough.
The most feared opponent in the war is such an opponent, they have calm commanders, there are well-trained soldiers, and such troops are invincible on the battlefield, but today their opponent is the New 33rd Army.
After carefully analyzing the battle situation, the Kwantung Army launched several fierce attacks on the Chinese positions in succession, but they did not rush and attack as fiercely as the previous times, because there was an additional regiment of reinforcements on the Chinese position, and they would not have any good results if they continued to rush and fight like this, and they had to prepare a steel grave for them with their artillery.
The fierce artillery fire reflected half of the sky, and the soldiers under the blood-colored remnant sun were already red-eyed by the fire, and their true skin color could no longer be seen clearly under the dark complexion, and they fought with the Lord of Hades a few times in the blood and fire.
The sky finally darkened, and the soldiers realized that it was really dark, and it was no longer black obscured by gunsmoke.
"Huh~ Lao Tzu has lived another day!"
Under such heavy artillery fire, it is a test for any living creature, and the warriors just hope that they will be alive and see the sun tomorrow again.
The Japanese made great progress today, and although they did not capture the positions held by the Chinese troops, they had succeeded in shaking the positions of the Chinese troops once. Okamura Ninji also did not expect that the Kwantung Army would successfully attack the Chinese position once, which was a surprise and a shock to him, he underestimated the strength of the Kwantung Army, and they did have arrogant qualifications.
"Let the logistics department send a wave of supplies to the Kwantung Army, remember that it must be our best supply!"
Although he had a disagreement with the lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army, he still had to treat these emperor's warriors, after all, they were here to work for Gangmura Ninji, and it was good to be able to solve the problem for him.
"By the way, now you can contact those people in Shanxi, and tell them that tomorrow night I will arrange for aviation troops to bomb the troops of the New 33rd Army in Shanxi, hoping that they can help mark the ground!"
The second line of defense held by the Chinese army has shown signs of loosening, and it is believed that they will be able to successfully break through the positions of the Chinese army in the next few days, and the chaos in the rear of the new 33rd Army at this time will certainly be of great help to them in destroying the new 33rd Army.
In the past few days, Yan Laoxi has been constantly tortured mentally, and he has constantly deceived himself with his own reasons, which is for their Jin Sui Army, for the interests of the country, and for the righteousness of the country.
In Yan Laoxi's heart, the New 33rd Army, like the New Fourth Army, did not obey Chongqing's orders, they were rebels. Yan Laoxi has already begun to drill into the horns of the bull and walked into a dead end, which will be his grave Yan Laoxi.
"Knock Knock"
The knock on the door startled the pensive Yan Laoxi, and he only came down when he heard the voice of the chief of staff.
"Sir, there's movement on the Japanese side!"
The chief of staff took out the telegram and showed it to Yan Laoxi, and after receiving this telegram, he rushed to see Yan Laoxi without stopping.
"Great, but how do we mark their aviation units on the ground?"
"Sir, I've arranged this recently, don't worry, it's going to be foolproof!" The chief of staff told Yan Laoxi that he should arrange everything.
There were so many troops in the Jin Sui army, it was still easy to find a dozen or twenty dead soldiers, let them pretend to be Japanese and wait outside the barracks of the new 33rd Army, as long as they heard movement in the sky, they would use a mirror to signal the planes in the sky underground.
Yan Laoxi breathed a sigh of relief, the torture of the past few days is finally coming to an end, and when the time comes, there will be only him and the people with the head of the word in Shanxi, as long as he unites with the Central Army, the people who clean up the head of the word will not be captured.
According to Yan Laoxi's order, after the Japanese bombardment is completed tomorrow, they will forcibly enter the defense area of the New 33rd Army in the name of helping the New 33rd Army to assist in the defense of the Japanese army, and then take advantage of the fact that Liu Chundao's troops have not yet arranged defenses, they quickly control Liu Chundao's troops, and of course they will be killed in the face of resistance.
However, Yan Laoxi still couldn't hold his breath, since the last time the Jin Sui army invaded their defense area, Liu Chundao has been guarding Yan Laoxi, and Liao Fan has planted an inside line in the Jin Sui army, and the Jin Sui army is transferred as if it is being transferred in front of Liu Chundao's eyes, Liu Chundao knows every move of the Jin Sui army.
"Invite Chief of Staff Li and Brother Liao over!" After Liu Chundao learned that the Jin Suijun had begun to move, he knew that the Jin Suijun was going to be unable to hold his breath again, and it was time to spank them and teach them a lesson.
"Senior Commander Liu, Brother Fan's order is that if the Jin Suijun dares to do anything to us again, they will destroy as many as they come!"
Li Lingfei conveyed to Liu Chundao the last order that Liao Fan gave him, that is, the interests of the New 33rd Army could not be provoked again and again, and they had the ability to defend their own interests.
Liu Chundao didn't expect Liao Fan to give him such an order, at most he thought about teaching Jin Suijun some lessons, and never thought about completely eliminating them.
"Wouldn't it be easy to leave an excuse for others, saying that our new 33rd Army enemy is actually doing things in the same room at present?" Liu Chundao was worried that if they eliminated the troops of the Jin Sui army that invaded them, it would cause unnecessary trouble to the new 33rd army.
"The growth of the new 33rd Army needs a stepping stone, this stepping stone is not only the Japanese, in the process of establishing every country, there will inevitably be people of the same clan fighting each other, since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! Historical merits and demerits will naturally be commented on by future generations! Liao Jundong also supported Liao Fan's order.
"History is written by the strong, Brother Fan has already told me that the Jin Suijun is already secretly communicating with the Japanese!"
"Secret communication with the Japanese?" Liu Chundao exclaimed, "But what's the use of the Jin Suijun secretly communicating with the Japanese?" Now that the Japanese army is entangled with our division commander Hu's troops on the eastern line of Taihang Mountain, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose, can the Japanese army be able to ensure that our army's defense line is opened in the next few days and come to Shanxi to support the Jin Sui army? ”
Liu Chundao couldn't understand why the Jin Suijun wanted to secretly communicate with the Japanese, could it be that the Japanese had learned some secret technique to be able to send the army directly to Shanxi bypassing their defense area in Taihang Mountain.
"The little devil's army will definitely not be able to pass, and they will never have a chance to step into Shanxi in the future, but the little devil still has a plane in the sky! Our air defense facilities are equal to none! In Li Lingfei's words, the sky will always be their weakest link, and he will never dare to forget the weakest part of the New 33rd Army.
"Japanese planes are coming to bomb us?"
Liu Chundao suddenly understood that if there were really Japanese planes patronizing Shanxi tomorrow, then it would be able to prove that the Jin Sui army was secretly communicating with the Japanese, and they would be tantamount to treachery, and in this case, he would not show mercy to his subordinates.
"This is just my speculation, and I don't dare to guarantee what kind of means the Japanese army will use, but heaven is the only thing I can think of!"
Li Lingfei racked his brains and thought that if the Japanese army really wanted to help the Jin Sui army, the only way to do so was to use aviation. If the Japanese army arranges the army, not to mention whether it can reach Shanxi, Yan Laoxi is also a person with a face, how could he cooperate with the Japanese army so openly and honestly and destroy the future of the Jin Sui army. And the Japanese army arranged aviation to support them, and the maneuverability among them became very strong.
"The artillery brigade is ready, although there is no way to help you fight the Japanese planes in the sky, but it is more than enough to deal with the Jin Sui army!" Liao Jundong has already ordered the artillery brigade to be ready for battle.
"Hmm...... Actually, I still ......" Liu Chundao didn't know how to express his thoughts.
"The leader of the common word once said, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, I will offend people! There is nothing to estimate, and the new 33rd Army is not muddy and cannot stand any gossip! Liao Jundong knew that Liu Chundao had scruples in his heart.
