Today, the first update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections......

Taiyuan, the command of the little devils.

The telegrams sent back from the front line one after another made Yoshio Kozuka feel irritable, but he didn't expect that not only the Jin Sui army in the south sent tens of thousands of men and horses to the north, but now it has reached Pingyao, and Zhang Yunfei in the north has also dispatched tens of thousands of troops to the south, and has now reached the Xinkou position.

What is odious is that this Zhang Yunfei relied on his large-caliber howitzer group to bombard the Xinkou position, and now it has caused a lot of casualties to the Xinkou defenders, and the Xinkou defenders have sent a telegram asking for tactical guidance.

The distraught Yoshio Kozuka walked around the office, and several little devil communication soldiers and little devil chief of staff in the office all bowed their heads upright and did not say a word, for fear that they would accidentally touch their heads.

After thinking for a long time, Yoshio Kozuka said to the chief of staff next to him: "Quickly send a report to His Excellency Okamura Ningji in Beiping and ask for tactical guidance." ”

A telegram from Taiyuan reached Okamura Ningci in Beiping, looking at the content of the telegram, Okamura Ningci was also powerless, the Battle of Wuhan had just ended, and the North China and Central China Front had suffered more than 200,000 casualties, and at present, all divisions and regiments were resting and waiting for reinforcements, and it would take several months to restore their previous combat effectiveness.

However, it can be seen from the telegram sent by the Taiyuan side just now that the current situation in Shanxi is not optimistic, and Taiyuan is facing a two-sided attack by the Chinese army, and it seems that it is necessary to transfer troops from North China to support Shanxi.

Fortunately, there is a Zhengtai railway from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, and if it goes well, the troops will have two days from receiving the order to assemble and arrive in Taiyuan.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ninji turned his head to the chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, and said: "Okabe-kun, immediately send the 10th Division that is resting in Shijiazhuang to support Taiyuan along Zhengtai Road, and tell the commander of the 10th Division, Ryosuke Isoya, that you must reach Taiyuan within forty-eight hours." ”

Hearing Okamura Ningji's order, Okabe Naosaburo said cautiously: "Your Excellency Division Commander, the 10th Division has suffered heavy casualties after the Battle of Wuhan, and there are only more than 22,000 people at present, and the domestic supplementary forces have not yet reached Shijiazhuang, and only the 10th Division is sent to reinforce Taiyuan, is the number a little less?" ”

Okamura Ningji pondered for a while and said: "Well, Okabe-kun has considered it correctly, so let's order the 16th Division, which is resting in Baoding, Hebei, to immediately assemble and go to Shijiazhuang to support Taiyuan along Zhengtai Road." ”

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I'll go and issue orders right away." Naosaburo Okabe slapped a sycophant before turning around and going out to deliver the order......

Xinkou, the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Yunfei and Division Commander Liu were lying in the trench together, holding binoculars and observing for a long time, and the shelling of the first artillery regiment had been going on for an hour, and the forward positions of the little devils had been changed beyond recognition, and only a few cement fortifications were still standing there alone.

Seeing that the time was ripe for attack, Zhang Yunfei said to Division Commander Liu: "Brother, I think the time is ripe to charge, you can charge, wait for our 136th Division to charge from the front, and your 129th Division to attack from the side, how about it?" ”

Division Commander Liu also wanted to attack from the front, but seeing that Zhang Yunfei's troops were well-equipped, all automatic weapons, and each company was equipped with several 60-millimeter artillery guns, and the weapons and equipment were more than one grade better than his own 129th Division, he was no longer hypocritical, and nodded: "Okay, then it's decided, and the side will be handed over to our 129th Division." ”

Now, Zhang Yunfei and Division Commander Liu have set up a joint command center together in Zhang Yunfei's temporary headquarters, after all, there are many radio stations in Zhang Yunfei's headquarters, which is convenient for contacting the troops below, and Zhang Yunfei's location of this command center is very good, which can not only condescendingly see the situation on the opposite battlefield, but also maintain a suitable distance from the position of the little devils, which is relatively safe.

The two returned to the headquarters and hurriedly ordered their troops to attack according to the agreed plan.

The troops that received the order sounded a loud charge and rushed towards the little devil's position like a tide, and at the same time, more than 100 cannons of the first artillery regiment began to extend their fire to hit the depth of the little devil's defense.

In the frontal position, rushing to the forefront was the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade, nearly 3,000 fighters with AK-47 rifles, rushing towards the position of the little devils.

In the forward position of the little devils, an infantry wing stationed here has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and in the shelling just now, only the little devils hiding in the cement fortifications, and some experienced little devils outside, survived with their rich battlefield experience.

Seeing the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushing over from the opposite side, the remnants of nearly 2,000 little devils hurriedly prepared for battle, and the few remaining machine guns were also set up by the little devils, and most of the machine guns were damaged by artillery fire in the shelling just now.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the first infantry regiment were getting closer and closer to the little devil's position, and when they were still two or three hundred meters away, the little devil on the opposite side began to shoot.

Several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed to the front were immediately knocked to the ground, and seeing their comrades sacrificed, the rest of the soldiers picked up their submachine guns and aimed at the little devil on the opposite side and shot fiercely.

In the face of the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, several machine guns of the little devils could not shoot at all, and often the machine gunners of the little devils were killed with submachine guns as soon as they started shooting.

The scattered shots of the little devil's Type 38 rifle were quickly covered by the fierce sound of "da, da, da" from the submachine guns of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils who were lying in the trenches and shooting were often shot by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army as soon as they appeared.

There were only a dozen or so imps in the cement fortifications, relying on the solid defense of the cement fortifications, and constantly firing from the shooting holes, causing a lot of casualties to the charging Eighth Route Army soldiers.

In front of the command department, Zhang Yunfei, who was watching the battle with a telescope, was also distressed when he saw this scene, and the soldiers with submachine guns were helpless for a while against the sturdy cement fortifications of the little devils.

But fortunately, the forward position of the little devils, the number of cement fortifications is not very large, and soon some fighters rushed to several cement fortifications less than fifty meters away.

Experienced fighters lay down one after another, avoiding machine-gun fire from the concrete fortifications, and one of the fighters, with several grenades tied together, crawled on the ground.

The rest of the fighters lay on the ground one after another, and used submachine guns to shoot at several shooting holes of the little devil's cement fortifications, and suppressed the fire, and the little devil's machine gun was immediately dumbfounded, and it is estimated that the machine gunner was killed by the soldiers.

The soldier with the grenade took the opportunity to quickly approach the cement fortifications, and after pulling the grenades, he threw a bundle of grenades into the cement fortifications of the little devil along the shooting hole.

Then there was a loud bang, a "boom", and the little devil inside was blown away, and several black smoke came out of the shooting hole, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Seeing that the fortifications of this little devil were eliminated, dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suddenly cheered, and the rest of the soldiers saw that this method worked, and they also followed suit.
