"Woooooooooo......oo Boom, boom, boom......" The chief of staff had been away for less than five minutes when the screech of shells across the sky reached his ears.

Lieutenant General Ito's face changed, and he shouted: "It's infantry artillery, at least ten infantry guns will fire at us again!" ”

Soon, a large number of fireballs rose into the air outside the tent, and the firelight generated by these fireballs directly illuminated the station, and then the chief of staff rushed in.

"Sir, we have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, please move immediately, it's too dangerous here!" The captain of the guard brigade, who came in with the chief of staff, reported with a nervous expression.

Lieutenant General Ito did not embarrass his guard captain, and while preparing to transfer, he ordered: "Chief of Staff, contact the field artillery brigade and kill the infantry artillery exposed by the Eighth Route Army for me...... I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army hidden near us to have such a strong artillery fire! ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After the order was given, more dense explosions began to sound outside the tent, and one of the shells smashed directly into the tent less than twenty meters away.

The scorching air wave pushed the tent directly, and it was almost overturned!

"Captain of the Protection Division!" The captain of the guard commanded with a look of trepidation, and then seven or eight guards rushed into the tent and gathered around the division commander, intending to block the bullets and fragments that might fly around him with their bodies.

A lieutenant rushed in with him, with a panicked look on his face!

"Division commander, the east of the garrison is attacked by the Eighth Route Army, they have gathered at least thirty mortars to shell our defensive line, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army wants to swallow our Middle Route Army in one bite!" A very bold idea popped into Lieutenant General Ito's head.

Although he was taken aback by this idea, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

Immediately ordered: "The artillery will strike back immediately...... Chief of Staff, send a squadron from the mobile unit to reinforce the eastern defense line, and in addition, draw one-third of the troops and heavy weapons from the tank brigade and the anti-tank squadron to pass, and be sure to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army! ”

This time, the chief of staff did not leave directly, and proposed after giving the order to a combat staff officer next to him.

"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army has gathered so many infantry artillery and mortars to attack us, it must not be just for sneak attacks and harassment. For the safety of the division command. I suggest that we immediately contact the 136th Wing and ask them to send at least one infantry brigade to reinforce us~ No, one brigade is too little, it is not ruled out that this is the Eighth Route Army encirclement point to send reinforcements, they must send at least two infantry brigades to reinforce us! ”

"As for the remaining infantry brigade, protect the field artillery and heavy artillery that the division has strengthened for them!"

"Also, we should order the tank unit of the reinforced 135th Wing to send half of the tanks back to the division headquarters. They're fast, and it only takes half an hour to get back! ”

Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for almost a minute before deciding, "Just follow your suggestion and give the order~"

"Also, immediately contact all the troops we can contact to find out the number, strength, and equipment of the Eighth Route Army that attacked them!"

"We have been sweeping their base for so long, and we have always wanted to touch their main force but couldn't touch it~ Why did so many Eighth Route Army troops pop up around us overnight!"

As the minutes passed, the anxious Lieutenant General Ito did not wait for the good news from the chief of staff, but he waited for even greater bad news.

"Sir, the defense line south of our station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, they used at least one brigade of mountain artillery, the intensity of the artillery bombardment was very high, and the squadron guarding the south suffered more than half of the casualties before the attack began?"

"What about our artillery? Why not fight back yet! Lieutenant General Ito finally couldn't help but scold.

"The counterattack has already begun~ However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, the infantry guns, mortars, and mountain artillery that they are shelling are all scattered in units of two or three, and they are constantly shifting artillery positions during the shelling, and it is difficult for our field artillery brigade to lock them down and kill them, and the effect of the counterattack is very poor!" The chief of staff, who hurried over, reported helplessly.

"Eight Tooth Road!" Lieutenant General Ito scolded with anger.

As soon as the four words were spoken, another staff officer rushed in, with a thick smoke of gunpowder on his face.

"Division commander, the north of the garrison was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

"And to the east, which was attacked at the beginning, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and the three armored vehicles that had just gone up were all destroyed in the shelling of the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

Lieutenant General Ito was also anxious and immediately asked, "Chief of Staff, how many troops do we still have!" ”

"Two infantry squadrons, two tank squads, two anti-tank squads ~ the rest of the infantry and armored units are in artillery positions, protecting the artillery!" The chief of staff reported like a few family treasures.

"Send them all out, and you must block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army!" Lieutenant General Ito gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Also, contact the tank brigade, the 136th Wing, and ask them to speed up and quickly reinforce the division headquarters. The tanks from the tank brigade must be rushed back within half an hour, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”

The violent explosions on the battlefield became the best cover for the transfer of the two tanks in the hands of the direct team, and the dull roar did not attract anyone's attention.

"Captain, in front of you is the devil's artillery station~ The field artillery has all been erected, and it is being bombarded with our artillery~ The heavy artillery is being arranged, and it should not take long to participate in the battle!"

"Absolutely not let their heavy artillery fire!" Li Wen decided very decisively.

"The power of the heavy artillery is too great, a cannonball can be smashed down, and the fighters within a radius of tens of meters can shock people to death with the shock wave alone. Once these heavy artillery pieces are fired, the casualties of the three newly formed main battalions will definitely be more than we imagined! ”

"Battalion Commander Kim, is your assault battalion ready? If you're ready, we'll kill them now and raid their artillery positions! ”

"It's done, let's go now!" Jin Kai replied with excitement on his face.

When there were still more than two hundred meters from the artillery position, the dull roar of the engine finally overwhelmed the sound of the artillery on the artillery position and reached the ears of the infantry around the artillery position.

The devil infantry subconsciously fired a shuttle of bullets in the direction where the sound sounded.

It's okay not to shoot, but as soon as you shoot, the devil regrets it.

The headlights of the two tanks suddenly turned on, and the devil infantry in front of them were directly illuminated, and then the on-board machine guns and the assault battalion following the tanks opened fire.

Four vehicle-mounted machine guns, more than twenty light machine guns, fired together, and the bullets swept towards them like an impenetrable storm of steel.

Many devils still have shocked expressions on their faces, and the bullets have already beaten their bodies into a sieve!

"The Eighth Route Army wanted to sneak up on artillery positions...... Fight back, fight back immediately, resolutely block them, protect the artillery positions! The infantry squadron leader was also frightened, but quickly reacted and commanded with a strong grip of panic in his heart.

"Da Da Da ......"

Several machine-gun firing points around the area opened fire quickly, but the fluttering bullets hit the tank's armor and did nothing but stir up a string of sparks. The two tanks continued to slash at them with a roar, and the heavy machine guns on board were also staring at them!

Lieutenant General Ito, under the protection of the guards, anxiously waited for reinforcements to arrive quickly.

At this time, not only did he lose the vigor he had had a few days ago, but he also began to worry about his life.

"Division commander, the artillery position has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the guard troops are almost unable to hold it!" Suddenly, a figure burst into the tent. Before Lieutenant General Ito could see the other side clearly, the sound of a frightened report reached his ears.

"Impossible...... The artillery position has an infantry squadron and three armored vehicles, how could it be impossible to hold it in the first place! Lieutenant General Ito's last bit of sanity calmed him down and stared at his subordinates and asked rhetorically.

"Tanks, the Eighth Route Army dispatched two tanks!" The subordinate hurriedly replied.

"It's over...... The artillery is finished......" These words popped up in Lieutenant General Ito's mind at once, and his face turned pale with a brush!

I forgot about the two tanks that the Eighth Route Army had just captured in Xiangfen City.
