25th, early in the morning. Xue Yue was waiting for the final moment of the general attack at the Kaifeng General Headquarters. Although all the units had arrived at their designated positions and there were no flaws in the battle plan, Xue Yue was always uneasy in his heart.

At noon yesterday, he sternly accused Gui Yongqing: Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army, was greedy for life and afraid of death, cowered in battle, and refused to carry out the order to defend the city, causing Lan to seal the city and fall into the hands of the Japanese chieftain Tu Feiyuan without a fight, disrupting the entire plan of our first war zone. If such despicable performance is not punished, it will disturb the morale of the officers and men on the front line and cause great harm to the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan. I hope that the Military Commission will check it at its discretion. Xue Yue knocked. Noon.

But the chairman of the committee still turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear. Xue Yue didn't get along with Gui Yongqing, but he started this evil strategy, and other descendants of the generals would do the same and learn from Gui Yongqing.

(In the end, Gui Yongqing was simply removed from his post.) Later, he also prospered in official fortune and became the commander-in-chief of the navy. There is no reason why the great cause of the party-state is undefeated. ）

The adjutant beside Xue Yue reminded, "Sir, it's time."

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Xue Yue ordered loudly: "Order all departments to launch an all-out counterattack against the 14th Division!"

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The artillery roared throughout Lanfeng, and the Eastern Henan Corps launched an all-out attack on Tufeiyuan.

On the Luowang Zhai side, the 58th and 155th Divisions attacked Luowang Station. The rest of the troops besieged Luowangzhai and forced the Japanese army to retreat to Quxingji.

On the Lanfeng side, the 88th Division attacked Lanfeng Station; The 87th Division attacked Xu Lou. After completing the task, Xue Yue ordered the two divisions to unite and recapture the important land of Lanfeng.

In the direction of Sanyi Village, the national army concentrated its superior forces to attack the first line of Chailou, Eighteen Villages, and Baowang Temple, approaching Sanyi Village.

The general offensive began at 8 a.m. on the 25th, with the whole army attacking on three fronts. What General Xue Yue needs most is time, and he must eliminate Kenji Dohihara before enemy reinforcements arrive.

At Lanfeng Station, the 88th Division fought unusually fiercely. The officers and men of the whole division regarded death as their home and were indomitable. They are fighting for the lost honor.

Before the war, Zhong Bin said to the officers and soldiers of the division that Lanfeng is the place of honor of the 88th Division! They must rush ahead of all the troops and complete the task assigned to the 88th Division by Xue Yue.

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the battle was in full swing. Zhong Bin didn't plan to ask the troops to rest and have lunch. He practiced a rotation system, which is the so-called wheel warfare. The 88th Division must not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe and eat.

"Kill~" "Kill~""......"

The 88th Division continued to charge towards Lanfeng Station, and the railroad tracks and ground were already covered with the corpses of the soldiers of the 88th Division.

The charging soldiers alternated cover for the attack, using the corpses of their comrades as cover. The battle was unusually tragic and bloody.

"Report!" A soldier walked into the command headquarters and reported: "The Lanfeng defenders sent two squadrons to reinforce the station, and the three battalions were a little overwhelmed."

In a bloody battle in the morning, the 88th Division recaptured half of the station. Can ...... now

Zhong Bin immediately ordered: "Tell the second battalion to arrange fire behind the third battalion and let the third battalion withdraw." The first battalion served as a reserve, ready to be on top at any time. ”

The Japanese army sent reinforcements, which Zhong Bin had expected. But how many reinforcements do they have? The Japanese army fought on three fronts, and they could be consumed to death. Zhong Bin's operational intentions were obvious, and he fought a tug-of-war and a war of attrition with the Japanese army based on favorable forces and favorable space.

In the middle of Lanfeng's car, the 88th Division and the Japanese army rushed back and forth, and neither side took advantage of the terrain there, and the 88th Division did not fall behind at all.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the deadlock was broken.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......Boom Boom" "Boom Boom"

The Japanese troops to the east of the middle sector were attacked beyond imagination and were quickly routed.

Gao Yi and the independent battalion of the Yunnan Army suddenly killed from the flank, directly catching the devil off guard.

"What's going on!?"

Zhong Bin still didn't understand what was happening, and a soldier ran to report: "Report, a team has been killed from the northwest, and the firepower is very strong. Looking at the military uniform, it seems to be the Dian army. ”

"Whew~" Zhong Bin didn't know whether to be happy or angry. Although Zhong Bin was very happy to have the help of the Dian army, Gao Yi fought like this, completely disrupting his combat deployment.

Zhong Bin ordered: "Pass my order, let the Dian army withdraw for me, and ask his commander to come to see me." The second battalion blocked on the spot and was not allowed to attack! ”

"Yes!" The herald quickly left.

Not long after, Gao Yi broke away from the battle with the independent battalion and came to see Zhong Bin alone.

"Report, the commander of the major company of the Yunnan Army came to reinforce on the order of the battalion commander."

Gao Yi didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know that he had disrupted the deployment of the entire battle.

Zhong Bin still forced a smile and said, "Welcome." ”

Gao Yi could see that Zhong Bin's expression was a little strange, and asked, "Teacher, did we do something wrong?" ”

Zhong Bin said: "To be honest, we are not in a hurry to capture Langui Station. The middle of the station is relatively wide, and there are no good firepower points on either side, so we can have a draw. But the rear of the enemy is their headquarters, with a small two-story building, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. My aim was to deplete the Japanese army's vital forces in the middle and then capture the enemy headquarters in one fell swoop. ”

Gao Yi felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, I should have come over to report to the division commander first." ”

Zhong Bin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm already very happy that you guys can come." By the way, you just said that you were on the orders of the battalion commander. You found Shao ...... That's right, it's Yi Ren. ”

Zhong Bin had already said something inadvertently, which made Gao Yi very surprised, so he replied: "Our Battalion Commander Yi went somewhere else. This kind of tough battle, whether he comes or not is actually the same. ”

Zhong Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay then." Company Commander Gao, you take your troops to rest first. After dark, when I had almost exhausted the enemy's forces, we launched a general attack on the enemy headquarters together. The equipment of your Yunnan army is beyond the reach of our Central Army. ”

Shao Fei didn't go anywhere else, but just took the special combat team to sleep in the woods near Lanfeng, because the night was his stage.

As the sun sets, the sky slowly takes on a black coat.

The gunfire at Langfeng station has not stopped since the morning. At this time, the gunfire was not as intense and dripping as during the day. The Japanese began to show fatigue, and the officers and men of the 88th Division were already ready to deliver the final blow to the enemy.

"Attack!" Zhong Bin gave the final order.

"Boom Boom" "......"

After a powerful grenade attack, the west side of the station was filled with murderous sounds. 88 was a battalion that launched a charge together with the independence of the Dian army.

"Dadada" "......"

The submachine gun platoon of the separate battalion bore the brunt of the attack and suppressed the enemy with powerful fire. The Japanese army was overstretched by Zhong Bin's consumption, how could they be able to block the thunderous offensive. It didn't take long for the troops of the national army to come downstairs.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

In a small two-story building, machine guns were erected at the windows and on the roof. Upon seeing the enemy, they quickly began to strafe wildly. This raindrop-like attack directly suppressed the troops below.

"Hidden! Take cover! ”

Gao Yi shouted loudly. The troops are still more than 30 meters away from the small building, and there is an open space in the middle, and even if there is something, the devil will raze it. If the attack is not carried out at any cost, the casualties will be immeasurable.

So the troops were all hidden behind the rock mass, and Gao Yi ordered: "Bring up the machine gun!" ”

Eight soldiers of the Yunnan Army raised two 13.2mm heavy machine guns to the front and aimed at the small building in front.

"Hit!"

"Tutu Tutu" "......"

The two heavy machine guns continued to spark and began to fire at the windows and roofs of the small buildings in front. Whether it's the windows or the roof where chips of dirt are constantly slipping, the powerful bullets seem to penetrate everything.

The soldiers of the surrounding 88th Division were completely dumbfounded, some of the recruits had never seen such a large-caliber heavy machine gun.

Other light and heavy machine guns also launched an attack on the devil's firing point.

The machine guns of the devils on the small building began to fire mute, and they were completely suppressed by the strong fire below.

"Rush!"

The 88th Division launched another charge, and after a while, it crossed the distance of thirty meters, rushed into the small building, and delivered the final blow to the remaining devils.

"Report! We've taken all of Lanfeng Station! ”

"So fast!"

Zhong Bin was overjoyed, thinking that the last stronghold would be a tough battle. I didn't think it was easier than before.

The soldier replied: "Thanks to the two heavy machine guns of the Dian army, the bullets are twice as large as those of other heavy machine guns. ”

"Got it. Immediately telegraphed to the headquarters that the 88th Division had successfully occupied the Lanfeng station. ”

This is the battle of honor of the 88th Division, and Zhong Bin can't wait for it. He wanted Xue Yue and the rest of the troops to know that the 88th Division was the strongest.

General Headquarters of Kaifeng Yudong Corps.

"Report! The 88th Division called. The troops succeeded in capturing Lanfeng Station and requested the next mission. ”

"So fast."

Xue Yue couldn't believe it, and took the message and looked at it carefully. He didn't expect that 88 would be the first to complete the task assigned by himself when most of the troops were killed and wounded and morale was low. It seems that Zhong Bin is a general, and he did not disappoint himself and Song Xilian.

Xue Yue asked, "Is there a situation in the 87th Division?" ”

The adjutant replied, "No, there is still a fierce battle in Xu Lou." ”

Xue Yue ordered: "Pass my order, order the 88th Division to repair in situ, and wait for the 87th Division to finish the battle, and go all out to capture Lanfeng!" ”
