Chapter 427: Li Weimin's Plan

Gangcun Ningci's staff officers argued for a day, and gave a variety of opinions, anyway, the final decision is in the hands of Gangcun Ningci, there are any good ideas and bad ideas, it depends on how you Gangcun Ningci decides, and the final responsibility is you, Gangcun Ningci, and it has nothing to do with them.

Gangmura Ningji rubbed his aching temples, and the officers under him had only two suggestions, one was to retreat, and the other was to fight. However, the number of people who supported the retreat was relatively large.

But Gangcun Ningci decided to fight again, this whole day the little devils not only held meetings, but also transported the materials they hoarded to the front line, this is their last batch of materials, now Shanxi has become a pot of porridge, Heshun County has also been breached, and the Japanese army in Taihang Mountain can not get more supplies.

The soldiers hiding on the second basement floor completely went into a dormant state during the day, but in order to prevent the soldiers from feeling that black and white were reversed, Ma Wanzhong ordered the oil lamps to be lit in a fixed place in the passage. Although the second basement floor is like daylight, at least you can see the appearance of the passage.

After the successful sneak attack last night, Ma Wanzhong quietly returned the same way with the soldiers, but Ma Wanzhong did not stop when he heard the gunfire because of their return, and knew that the little devil had done it himself.

Therefore, Ma Wanzhong decided whether to launch another attack tonight, but whether the frequent attacks would attract the attention of the little devils and expose the fortifications on the second basement floor was a question that Hu Guoshan should consider.

Daytime was never the best time for the 33rd Independent Division to operate, and even if there were no Japanese planes in the sky, night fighting was the best option for the inferior side.

When Taihang Mountain fell again in the evening, Gangcun Ningci changed his hesitant attitude today and became decisive, and he decided to continue the attack on the 33rd Independent Division. Now that the commander has made a decision, all that remains is to carry out the order.

However, just when the Japanese army was busy preparing, the night made Taihang Mountain dark again, but there were no drunken little devils tonight. The little devil's sentries and patrols were staring wide, and with the lesson of last night, it was likely that the Chinese soldiers had infiltrated from places they had not expected, after all, the little devils were not very familiar with the entire underground fortifications of the first line of defense.

The Japanese troops in the underground fortifications in the middle of the night are asleep, they have received the order to attack the whole line tomorrow morning, although they do not know what decision Gangcun Ningji made, but judging from the current state of the whole army, tomorrow will inevitably be a bloody battle.

The 33rd Independent Division has completely cut off information from the outside world, and the only person who can contact them is the headquarters of Li Zongren in the Fifth Theater, but there is no valuable information between the two sides except for reporting the situation on the battlefield.

At this time, Li Zongren's attention was focused on the attack on the whole front, and they did not know that Gangcun Ningci had left Wuhan and went to Taihang Mountain. In the past few days, Li Zongren has achieved good results, although the Chinese army still suffered heavy casualties on the local battlefield, but they have grasped the initiative on the battlefield and recaptured several county towns from the little devils.

Until this evening, Li Zongren sent a congratulatory telegram to Liao Fan, the content of which was to congratulate the 33rd Independent Division on its total annihilation of the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi.

Liao Fan was confused at first when he received this telegram, the Japanese army had surrounded them for almost a month, and Liao Fan really didn't know anything about the situation in Beitai Peak. However, Liao Fan concluded that it was really a bit of a fool's dream to annihilate 30,000 Japanese troops with only a few thousand troops of the Second Regiment.

But since this telegram came from Li Zongren, Li Zongren would certainly not say nonsense, and there must have been an important change in it, perhaps the Japanese attack was frustrated or suffered huge casualties, so that the news was a little evil.

The dense gunfire and explosions that came again from the first line of defense in the early morning woke up the sleeping Japanese troops, but they were already prepared, and the bright torches were instantly lit up in the underground fortifications, and the Japanese began to counterattack.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ma Wanzhong immediately returned to the second underground floor with the soldiers. At the end of the battle, Gangmura Ningji came to check with a few guards, this time the Japanese killed three Chinese soldiers, and could have captured a wounded Chinese soldier, but at the last critical moment, the wounded Chinese soldier pulled the grenade on his body and died with the two little devils who rushed up.

Of course, the three corpses were not what Gangmura Ningji wanted, what he wanted was where the Chinese army came from.

Gangcun Ningji strictly questioned the soldiers standing guard and patrolling, and knew that the Chinese soldiers could not have entered the fortifications from the outside, so the reason for the incident must have been in the fortifications.

"Let the warriors find me the secret passage in this fortification!" After some careful consideration, Gangmura Ninji suspected that there was a hidden passage in the underground fortifications, and this secret passage must lead to the second square line of the Chinese army, so they were able to easily sneak in and attack.

But the little devils did not suspect at all that the Chinese soldiers who were attacking them were at their feet.

In the early morning of the next day, the Japanese army, which had been preparing for a day yesterday, launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense of the 33rd Independent Division, and dense shells fell on the defense line, and the little devils launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Chinese soldiers from all directions before the artillery fire was over.

Since Li Weimin received the news from Hu Guoshan, he immediately arranged for soldiers to go to the garrison to reconnoiter the situation of the little devil in Taihang Mountain, and last night he had learned that the little devil had occupied the first direction, and all the troops had retreated to the second line of defense.

Although the 2nd Regiment had already suffered more than half of the casualties in the decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi, it was impossible for Li Weimin to watch the division headquarters being broken by the Japanese army, and he had already assembled all the troops yesterday, leaving 2,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion to garrison the Beitaifeng garrison, and the rest of the troops had to wait for orders to be thrown into the next battle at any time as long as the soldiers who could afford to hold guns.

Fortunately, yesterday a day, Gangcun Ningci was in a meeting with his officers and did not attack the second line of defense, even if it was a tentative attack, which just gave Li Weimin time to prepare, and last night Li Weimin had already sneaked into the area around the original camp of the little devil with the soldiers of the second regiment.

Although he arrived at the designated place, Li Weimin did not let the troops attack, after all, the advantage of the little devil's strength was still there, and the Japanese army still had the advantage of the terrain, and the second regiment would not play a role even if it fought for the lives of all the soldiers.

Since the little devil has besieged the division headquarters of the 33rd Independent Division like an iron bucket, it is impossible for Li Weimin to take his troops to do things like eggs and stones, so Li Weimin has shifted his goal elsewhere!

In the early morning, the Japanese army's fierce artillery fire woke up Li Weimin, who was sleeping in the field, and Li Weimin saw from the telescope that the Japanese army had launched a full-line attack on the second line of defense.

……

In order to consolidate the defense of Heshun County, Hu Guoshan ordered the soldiers to block all the city gates in the county with sandbags, but after waiting for a day and a night, the little devil did not have the slightest movement, which began to make Hu Guoshan wonder if taking Heshun County could really play the effect he wanted, and let Gangcun Ningci withdraw his troops from Taihang Mountain.

Hu Guoshan also muttered in his heart, and constantly sent scouts around to reconnoiter the movements of the little devils, and finally came to a conclusion that the little devils really didn't have time to patronize them.

Overnight, the little devils lost five county towns in western and northwest Jinxi, 2,500 imperial warriors were killed, and nearly 10,000 imperial troops surrendered, which was a bolt from the blue for the Japanese army. Faced with the predicament of western and northwest Jin, the commander of the little devil in Shanxi had no troops to send, and he asked Gangcun Ningci for help, but Gangcun Ningci focused all his energy on Taihang Mountain, and had no time to take care of his telegram for help.

Faced with the situation in Shanxi, Gangcun Ningci planned to make a desperate bet. However, Gangcun Ningci has no desperate capital, and if this battle continues to drag on, then his logistics will be completely cut off.

Hu Guoshan also knows the situation in Shanxi, and now that their three regiments are guarding the north-south communication line in the southeast of Jin, the little devil's supplies will definitely be exhausted.

Now the county town of Heshun has become a peaceful place in Shanxi, in the last battle, most of the common people have moved away, and now they are the ones left in the county seat. Moreover, Hu Guoshan ordered the city gate to be blocked, and the remaining people had no intention of traveling for their own safety.

However, the people in the county town heard a knock on the door during the day, and when they came out to check, they found a bag of white noodles in front of their house. It turned out that Hu Guoshan ordered the soldiers to arrange, and the people were afraid of the war and hid at home, but they might not eat or drink, so Hu Guoshan ordered to use the grain in the little devil's warehouse to help the local people.

There was peace in Heshun County, as if this place had been forgotten.

In the middle of the afternoon, Hu Guoshan received the news sent by the Second Regiment, after seeing the news, Hu Guoshan thought for a long time, and finally he discussed with Zhao Caizhu, and decided to leave 1,500 people and 5,000 strong prisoners of war led by Zhao Caizhu to continue to hold on to Heshun County, and Hu Guoshan led 3,000 people to cooperate with the actions of the Second Regiment.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Guoshan arranged for the soldiers to bring a letter to Li Weimin and agreed on the time of the final attack. Then Hu Guoshan began to integrate his troops and horses and prepare to set off.

After the sandbags blocking the city gate were cleared, Hu Guoshan set off with 3,000 soldiers and a dozen cannons from the small devil's arsenal, leaving Zhao Caizhu with his troops to continue to hold Heshun County, if the operation was unsuccessful, they would return to Heshun County to continue to hold the line of communication in Jindong.

The artillery roared in the Taihang Mountains, and the attacking Japanese army seemed to have inexhaustible physical strength, constantly launching onslaught on the forward positions without gaps......
