Chapter 787: The Decisive Battle of Taihang Mountain (9)

"Commander, did we have brothers left on the other side of the river?"

Hu Guoshan's heart sank, except for the dead brothers, only a company of the guard battalion made Battalion Commander Hua disappear, and Hu Guoshan also guessed that it was probably Battalion Commander Hua and them who covered their departure.

Battalion Commander Hua led his troops to cover their departure, and in the end the Japanese army would inevitably surround them.

The battalion commander of the garrison had already guessed nine times out of ten when he looked at Hu Guoshan's expression, and if he went deep behind enemy lines, he would inevitably encounter such and such things, and it was inevitable that some soldiers would fall behind.

"Commander, come with me!" The battalion commander of the garrison did not say anything more.

There is an observation room on the highest point on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, where you can clearly observe the situation on the south bank of the Zhanghe River.

"The Japanese army has been whipping them since this morning, and the screams have been reaching the ears of the soldiers!" The garrison battalion commander knew that it was their brother, but he had no choice but to let the little devils torture them.

Hu Guoshan's binoculars have not been put down, but stared, he was very angry, very angry, at this time he wanted to kill people, but can the brothers of the guard battalion on the other side come back?

"They're still alive, but you can't save them!" Hu Guoshan was in a sad mood.

"The little devils are still torturing them!"

The Japanese did not spare the Chinese soldiers they captured alive, they hung the captured prisoners with ropes and whipped them, and at the forefront of the position, the Chinese soldiers in the trenches could clearly see that they were torturing their comrades.

The little devils want to torture them mentally, torture their spirits with their comrades-in-arms and brothers, and want to mentally disintegrate the defense of the other side, but how can the will of the Chinese inherited for thousands of years be easily disintegrated?

"Are the Japanese soldiers still alive last night?" Hu Guoshan thought of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers trapped on the river beach by them when the Japanese army forced them to cross yesterday.

"I don't know, there should be some alive, right?"

The garrison battalion commander didn't have time to pay attention to those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, hundreds of little devils were lying on the wet river beach, and there would definitely be a lot of frostbite overnight, and he would be happy to torture the little devils like this in this weather, so he didn't bother to care if there were still alive, they all froze to death.

"Arrange for a few fighters to touch it, find a dozen of them that are still alive, and then exchange our fighters back, and the corpses will also do!" Hu Guoshan couldn't bear to see his warriors being tortured at the hands of the little devils.

"I'm going to arrange someone!"

However, the Japanese had no intention of changing people, and as soon as their fighters were about to climb to the river beach, they were fired at by the Japanese heavy machine guns on the opposite bank, and the two fighters were knocked down on the spot, and the fighters were forced to retreat.

"Division commander, the little devil has no intention of changing people at all!" The garrison battalion commander was also very angry, but he didn't expect the little devils to even care about the lives of their own people.

Hu Guoshan pondered why the Japanese army did this, either the Japanese army thought that they wanted to take revenge by the Japanese troops trapped on the river beach, or what happened to the Japanese army made the Japanese army desperate.

Obviously, Hu Guoshan sat here and thought that there must be no result, but it is certain that he can't save those people on the other side, even if it is a corpse, it is difficult to estimate.

"Let the artillerymen prepare, give them some pleasure, don't let the little devils torture them!"

In the end, Hu Guoshan made a decision that was difficult to choose, that is, to give them a happy decision.

"I see!"

The garrison commander did not hesitate, because this was a kind of torture for anyone except the little devils, since this was the case, then make a happy decision, for their pleasure, but also for the pleasure of their own soldiers.

"Boom Boom"

The other side of the river turned into a sea of fire, which may have been another form of cremation for the warriors.

Heaven and earth became quiet again, and neither side had any intention of continuing to move, and it was clear that the attack on the Japanese had been successful last night, and it would take at least two days for the Japanese to launch another decent attack.

Hu Guoshan returned to his headquarters with the remaining soldiers of the guard battalion, and only then did he learn the news that the Japanese commander had died unexpectedly on the battlefield last night. Hu Guoshan knew that it was Camp Commander Hua who did it, so the little devil tortured them in that way.

"How is the situation at the front now?" Hu Guoshan tried his best to forget the sad things.

"The troops have stabilized, and the Japanese troops attacking from the north have also been gambled by Division Commander Li, although the situation is very unfavorable for us, but we can still hold on!" At the time when Hu Guoshan left, Zhao Caizhu was not idle, and went to the front line to take a trip.

"We can't be careless, these are just a small test of Okamura Ninji, we have to be ready at any time to withstand Okamura Ninji's entire force!"

Hu Guoshan knew very well that they were able to hold it up because Okamura Ninji had not yet used all his strength.

"Brother Fan sent a telegram this morning, and he asked when we intend to retreat!"

The counterattack of the New 33rd Army will start with the retreat of Hu Guoshan's division, but this counterattack is only to cut off one of Okamura Ningji's ten fingers, which only makes Okamura Ningji feel pain, but it is not enough to make Okamura Ningji hurt his muscles and bones.

Hu Guoshan knew Liao Fan's plan very well, which was why he wanted to die on the front line and mobilize all the strength of the Japanese army, so that they could have a greater grasp and a clear understanding of the opponent's troop deployment, so that they could cut off which finger of Okamura Ningji he wanted.

"Tell Brother Fan that we can hold on to the front line for at least two days, and when all the peripheral positions are lost, we will retreat!"

Liao Fan looked at the telegram sent by Hu Guoshan's division and shook his head gently, he never wanted to fight the Japanese army hard, every time he resisted the Japanese army once, they would be greatly injured, but this time they had no choice at all, he also understood why Hu Guoshan did this, Hu Guoshan was using the strength of one of his divisions as bait, and he wanted to fish Okamura Ningji.

But in this way, it may have a great impact on Hu Guoshan's division, which is the pillar of the new 33rd Army, and Liao Fan doesn't want his pillar to fall.

"Brother Fan, there is a move on the side of the Jin Suijun! This is the information sent by the personnel who infiltrated the Jin Sui army! ”

Yan Xuelin walked into the command headquarters, he is now fully responsible for the intelligence work of the military department, all the intelligence personnel are under his command and dispatch, and some intelligence lines are only known to him.

Liao Fan took over the information: "I didn't expect these people to really forget their ancestors and do whatever it takes for their own interests!" ”

"There is no specific information on this matter, whether it has anything to do with Yan Laoxi, but this matter is directly related to his chief of staff!" Yan Xuelin said affirmatively.

"Tell my brother, and Liu Chundao, let him be careful to guard against Jin Suijun's deception behind his back, I just want to see if he Yan Laoxi really wants to do such a thing for his own interests!"

Liao Fan doesn't hate Jin Suijun, after all, they are also China's national defense forces, but he hates traitors, hates the kind of behavior that only looks at the immediate interests, this kind of person will only stab him in the back.

"What if Jin Suijun really does something to us?"

If the Jin Sui Army really did something with them, the new 33rd Army would be the enemy.

"It is not for nothing that Liu Chundao was left in Taiyuan, I have no intention of transferring Liu Chundao to the front at all, and Chief of Staff Li is also in Taiyuan, I have already explained the matter over there Li Lingfei, if the Jin Suijun really does not want to be an upright Chinese, our new 33rd Army does not mind erasing them from Shanxi!"

Liao Fan has never been merciful to the enemy, and conceded interests in Shanxi, just to better unite the forces in various parts of China, after all, their real enemy now is the Japanese army, not their own people, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Liao Fan does not want to provoke them, but they still want to provoke Liao Fan.

Since ancient times, it has been the king of Hades to deal with, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, if the Jin Sui army is really not interesting, with their combat effectiveness, Liu Chundao's division of 50,000 people can at least withstand the combat effectiveness of their three armies.

Liao Fan left Liu Chundao's troops on the boundary of Shanxi just in case, now it is an eventful time, and many things cannot be guarded against, especially the kind that does not do the right thing and wants to stare at you every day to make mistakes.

There are countless warlords large and small in this land, and sooner or later they will all disappear, and Liao Fan doesn't mind doing it now, first completely purging the warlords in Shanxi.

Yan Laoxi is not a person who can swallow his anger, especially when he becomes a prince and a person with a head and a face, how can he be willing to succumb to a junior. If the situation in Shanxi can't be resolved, what else does Yan Laoxi have to face and confuse the princes' circle?

When the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the new 33rd Army, Yan Laoxi was happy with a handful of snot and tears, this is really God helping him Yan Laoxi, God is with Yan Laoxi! This is a great opportunity for Jin Suijun.

However, Yan Laoxi was not sure that the Japanese army would completely wipe out the New 33rd Army, and if the New 33rd Army came to settle accounts after the autumn, their Jin Sui Army would really mess up. In order to ensure that this scene is performed well, Yan Laoxi has planned it well, at least this matter must maintain his image as a good man on the surface, and he can't let the New 33rd Army know that he planned it, although this matter is from the Jin Sui Army, but he just needs to pretend that his subordinates are hiding it from him, presumably Liao Fan can't do anything about him.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the first thing they did was to think of asking the little devil to help them, although there was no Japanese army near Shanxi, but the Japanese army had planes and could carry out air strikes. However, Yan Laoxi forgot that he must also have strength to play a scoundrel, and in front of the Japanese army and the new 33rd Army, he Yan Laoxi did not have the strength to play a scoundrel.
