On the Baoding front, the two main army groups plus the two armies led by Tian Ziqi and a group army of Lu Liming surrounded the little devils, and the Japanese army launched a counter-charge against them many times, but they were all beaten back!

Although the Japanese army was surrounded, in addition to their own armored units, they still retained strong combat effectiveness! The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and every inch of land became the focus of contention.

The little devil stubbornly supported his position, and the important firepower points were constantly covered and destroyed by the artillery division, but as long as the position was not lost, the little devil would re-establish a firepower point in the old place in just half an hour!

The Japanese army's style of play was completely fatal, and suicide attacks appeared frequently, and many inexperienced Chinese soldiers were frequently hit! On a dozen square meters of land, there were more than 300 corpses lying at most, corpses on top of each other, and both sides paid a lot of price in order to compete for every inch of land!

"We can't fight like this anymore, we must capture all two firepower points before dark, otherwise the Japanese army can use these two firepower points to launch a counterattack against us from the flank!"

As long as it gets dark, the variables on the battlefield will also increase, and in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Cunqi ordered the troops to seize two important firepower points on the Japanese position!

"Commander, you also saw it during the day, it's not that the soldiers don't work hard, our soldiers rushed up twice, and they were all beaten back by the little devils with human bombs!"

A unit under the commander of the army was responsible for capturing these two firing points, which were the two fiercest firepower points during the day, and their army alone lost more than 700 casualties at these two firing points, and the little devils suffered even more casualties.

Cun Qi is very aware of the importance of these two firepower points to the Japanese army, as long as they break through the two firepower points of the Japanese army, the Japanese army's activity space can be further compressed, and at night they have to hold these two firepower points, and the Japanese army will not dare to break through from their direction!

"Call Brother Liao and tell Brother Liao that in ten minutes we will charge these two firing points and let them cover the Japanese positions in front of us for ten minutes! Then cover the Japanese positions in depth for five minutes! Cun Qi ordered, "Let the installation brigade cover you, after capturing the position, don't attack the Japanese army in depth, we will hold these two places tonight!" ”

"Boom Boom"

After receiving Cunqi's request for help, the artillery division immediately carried out a covering strike on the Japanese firepower point, although it was only ten minutes, but the firepower of the artillery division was not what it used to be, and the density and firing speed of the artillery fire were also two or three times that of before!

As the raindrops of shells fell on the Japanese position, the little devil looked at it with a bewildered face, and then died with a confused face, because the caliber of the falling shells was larger than the other, and some Japanese soldiers were not killed at all, but were shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shells.

Before the explosions ended, the fighters launched a charge at the Japanese positions! The experience of the previous attacks told them that before the shelling stopped, the Japanese began to redeploy their forces to the fire points blown up to the north, so they had to be fast, and they had to take the lead in attacking their positions before the Japanese redeployed their forces.

"Kill!"

The Chinese soldiers had just rushed to the position, and the Japanese soldiers also rushed to the position under artillery fire! At this moment, the sound of artillery stopped, and the soldiers on both sides seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats! However, the next second was all shouting and killing, and the soldiers on both sides fought together!

"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang"

Because the Japanese army was close to the position, when they saw Chinese soldiers appearing on the position, their commander immediately sent additional soldiers to the position! However, the armored brigade came up to the rescue, although they have not yet learned to cooperate with the infantry tank, but as a mobile support force, they can still do it!

The armored brigade kept firing and suppressed the Japanese troops rushing up from the rear, and the Japanese troops fell one after another, and the Japanese troops who came to support them could not get close to the position at all!

"One company and two companies, press the Japanese army down for me, and the third company will build a fire support point to suppress the Japanese army!"

They must build a firepower point as soon as possible, organize the Japanese reinforcements to charge forward, and catch up with the troops in the rear, and the armored troops must not be exposed to this place for too long, otherwise they will become a live target for the Japanese army!

When the soldiers of the third company heard the order of the battalion commander, they immediately separated from the Japanese army and began to build individual fortifications less than ten meters away from the place where the first and second companies were still fighting!

"Da Da Da"

A simple single fortification was not enough to cover all the bodies of the soldiers, but it was enough for the soldiers, and the soldiers of the first and second companies quickly retreated while they fought hard to shoot at the Japanese army.

The fighters temporarily stabilized their foothold in the position!

"Order the machine gun company and the third battalion to support quickly!"

Seeing from the telescope that the position was taken, the regiment commander immediately ordered the troops to quickly move closer to the attacking troops with heavy firepower, and in order to gain a firm foothold and reduce casualties, it was necessary to have heavy firepower, and the troops who had just charged did not have a little heavy firepower in their hands except for rifles *!

As the situation of the position stabilized, the armored forces also quickly broke away from the forefront, because the tank is a coffin without moving on the position, and if the tank is not covered by enough cover, it is too wasteful to use the fixed turret.

Heavy fire from the rear support reached the positions and began to establish fire support points! The Japanese army did not give up, and constantly sent troops to charge the fire support point, wanting to take the opportunity to recapture it, the heavy fire point on the position played a role, and they could consume the Japanese army from a distance, and before the Japanese army approached the position, most of the troops were lost in the process of charging.

It was getting dark, and the Japanese attack slowed down, but the soldiers did not let their guard down, and the besieged little devils would definitely jump over the wall and fight with them.

In Taihang Mountain, the soldiers of the guard division finally held out until dark, the mountain road where the Japanese army was advancing had been blown up, and the little devils did not dare to light torches to risk clearing the road, and lit torches in the dark night unless they didn't want to live!

At the same time, the food in the pockets of the little devils was also declared exhausted, and the rations they brought with individual soldiers were only enough to last for three days.

The Japanese troops who had suspended in the valley did not dare to rest, for they were afraid that the Chinese army would sneak near them while they were asleep, and then plant explosives, and finally they would die under the stones. In fact, the guard division had been circling in the mountains with them for a day, and they were already physically exhausted, and they didn't have the energy to do anything at night!

"Retreat, retreat is our only option!"

They have no water or food, and if they continue to advance, they will eventually starve to death in the mountains.

"We are the warriors of the Great Japanese Emperor, how can we retreat at this time, His Excellency the Commander is still waiting for our good news! This is our only best chance to destroy Taihang Mountain. ”

The commanders of the four divisions of the Japanese army were arguing, and their reasons for advancing and retreating were also unified!

"You are being deserters, how can the warriors of the empire choose to be deserters!" The commander of the advancing Japanese division pointed to the commander of the retreating division.

There is no material supply, no support, even if they can break through the Taihang Mountain, what can they do, when they rush back from the mountain, where will they still have the strength to participate in the battle! And it is not certain where they will be able to go tomorrow, judging from today's situation, the Chinese soldiers will use the same method to stop them tomorrow!

It was a very physically demanding thing to re-clear the road that had been blown up, and their fighters would be dragged to death without food, water, and heavy work.

Of course, these commanders don't have to worry about not having food, let alone doing heavy work, because the dirty work will never be their turn to do it.

The commanders of the four divisions of the Japanese army argued with their subordinates, for them, it was really a lot of pressure to evacuate at this time, and maybe after retreating, there was only a dead end waiting for them! Because there is no order to retreat, the retreat of the troops without permission is to go to a military court, and they generally commit suicide by cutting their stomachs before they go to the military court, and then retain the dignity of the last soldier!

The four little devil division commanders don't have the courage to commit suicide by cutting their stomachs, at least not now, if things come to a critical juncture, they may make this choice, but now they won't!

In the end, they decided to march for another day tomorrow, and if they couldn't find their goal, they would retreat, and as for the rest of the matter, the four of them would bear it together! But tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for them.

"Hurry up and rest! There is no need to arrange soldiers to be on duty, they are all resting, and tomorrow may be even more tired! Li Lingfei urged the soldiers to rest!

Today's time is a day, the physical exertion of the soldiers is huge, and the physical exertion of the little devils is also very much, and the road is not cleared, it is impossible for the Japanese army to sneak attack at night!

Tomorrow is the most critical day, and the battle in Baoding may end tomorrow, and then they will have enough troops to deal with the little devils in the mountains, so no matter what happens tomorrow, they must drag the little devils and not let the little devils get close to their station!

"Brother Fan, Chief of Staff Li sent a telegram, the situation on his side is quite stable, but he hopes that the soldiers of the logistics department can send them more explosives tonight! There are no traces of the retreat of the Japanese army! ”

"Go and inform Sun Boyong, how much does Li Lingfei want, how much * do they want, how much * do they give, since the little devils have entered Taihang Mountain, don't let them withdraw easily!"
