On the side of the artillery regiment of the Third Infantry Division, a violent explosion was heard far away in the dark night, and the soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Division and the Fifth Infantry Division also heard the movement here, and the commanders of the two infantry divisions thought in their hearts almost at the same time, sure enough, the little devil was restless and sent a small force to sneak attack.

As a result, the commanders of these two infantry divisions immediately issued an order asking the artillery regiment to strengthen their precautions, and sent several search units to the nearby area to carefully search for the traces of the little devils.

The other two death squads of the little devils, at this time, were less than two kilometers away from their target, the artillery regiment of the middle [***] team, and the commander of the little devils who led the team, seeing the faint explosion in the west of the city, thought to himself, it must have been exposed, it seems that it is impossible to complete the task today, so the other two little devil death squads began to prepare to give up this mission and return to the city......

In Zhangjiakou City, the headquarters of the 30th Division of Little Devils.

Minamijiro, the head of the Little Devil Division, was still waiting for the news of the death squad in his office, and Nanjiro was slightly excited and expectant in his heart at this time, hoping that the three death squads he sent could surprise him, hoping to bring good news.

Nanjiro thought in his heart that in order to ensure success, the members of the three death squads selected this time were all veterans, and the weapons equipped were all automatic weapons, and the team was led by several experienced Nakasa or Shaosa.

Nanjiro, who was full of hope in his heart, saw that the three death squads had been set off for almost two hours, and there was no movement outside, he couldn't help but feel a slight disappointment in his heart, and he couldn't help but blame a few little devil commanders who led the team.

The little ghost chief of staff next to him saw that his division commander was a little anxious, so he comforted: "Your Excellency, our warriors will surprise us, I'm sure, in less than half an hour, there will be an earth-shattering explosion outside." ”

When Nanjiro heard this, he was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Our warriors are omnipotent, this time, the heavy artillery group of the [***] team is waiting to be blown up by our warriors." ”

The chief of staff of the little devil was very happy to see Minamijiro, and he also nodded again and again, agreeing with Nanjiro's statement.

Sure enough, there were several explosions outside, and listening to the direction from which the sound came, it seemed to be the direction of the location of a heavy artillery group of the squadron, and the chief of staff of the little devil immediately said happily: "Your Excellency the division commander, listen, there seems to be movement in the direction of a heavy artillery group of the squadron [***], it must be our death squad that has begun to move." ”

Minamijiro also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Within a few minutes, several loud sounds immediately passed by, and when they heard these huge explosions, Nanjiro and the little devil's chief of staff both showed excited looks on their faces, and Nanjiro laughed and said: "Our warriors have already succeeded, let's wait to hear the fierce explosions of the heavy artillery positions of the [***] team in the distance." ”

"I think this sound is definitely the most beautiful sound in the world." The chief of staff of the little devil also said with a smile.

After the two finished speaking, they both listened carefully, and the two of them thought that the sound of large-scale shelling on the artillery position of the [***] team would be heard immediately, and this violent sound of martyrdom would continue to be heard.

But the truth obviously disappointed the two, the few violent explosions just now were just the sound of a few explosive packets exploding in the little devil death squad, and after these explosions, the night was quiet again.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes ......, until ten minutes passed, and there was no violent explosion sound as the two imagined, and the hearts of Nanjiro and the chief of staff of the little devil slowly sank as time passed.

Now, the two finally know that the hope for the death squad just now was too high, and they were happy too early, and now, there has been no large-scale explosion for so long, and the heavy artillery group of the [***] team must be safe and sound, and a few little devil death squads must be more than lucky.

In the direction where the other two death squads were, although there was no movement yet, Nanjiro, who had a gloomy face, still thought in his heart that these two death squads were also dangerous.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the dense gunfire to be heard faintly in the north and south of the city, and Minamijiro was silent in his heart, and the other two death squads also exchanged fire with the middle [***] team......

Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Group.

Although it was already late at night, the lights in the headquarters were still bright, the soldiers were coming in and out, and the radio station in the confidential room was also busy, receiving and sending various telegrams from the front line.

In the spacious operations hall of the headquarters, more than a dozen combat staff officers and quite a few communicators and guards were also constantly busy, and in the operations hall, Zhang Yunfei, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Liu Dazhu, and Fang Zheng were all seated.

Zhang Yunfei was leisurely drinking the hot tea brewed by the guards, Liu Dazhu and Fang Zheng were also happily sitting next to Zhang Yunfei, and Zuo Qingquan and Comrade Deng Wenping were looking at the military map on the table together, occasionally exchanging happily.

A correspondent, holding a telegram, walked in quickly, saluted Zhang Yunfei, and reported loudly: "Hello chief, there is a call from Zhangjiakou, half an hour ago, the little devil sent three death squads to attack our artillery position, but they were all annihilated by us. ”

Hearing this, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, who was looking at the map, raised his head and said humorously: "Commander-in-chief, the little devils can't help it, it seems that our artillery has completely hurt them." ”

"Yes! Our artillery killed thousands of little devils in the shelling during the day, and the little devils really hurt. Zhang Yunfei also said happily.

Zhang Yunfei thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Send another transport company, and then send dozens of truckloads of artillery shells to the three artillery regiments in Zhangjiakou overnight, and shell the little devil again tomorrow." ”

A transport company, with dozens of trucks, can transport shells of several hundred tons at a time, nearly 10,000 rounds of 105-mm howitzer shells, and it seems that tomorrow, the little devils will suffer again.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei's words fell, Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also said happily: "Commander-in-chief, if we transport so many shells at once, we are not afraid that the three artillery regiments will tear down the city wall of Zhangjiakou tomorrow." ”

After speaking, everyone laughed, in the past, the little devil often bullied the [***] team with heavy artillery, but this time, it was the turn of the little devil to be bullied by the 36th Group Army.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, also smiled at the other party and said: "Old side, our commander-in-chief has transported so many shells at once, and you are not afraid that our arsenal will not be able to produce them, and the shells will not be available at that time." ”

"Old Fang, you can't spoil our commander-in-chief, it's hundreds of tons of artillery shells at once, when we were in the Eighth Route Army, don't talk about artillery shells, even rifle bullets have to be spared one by one." Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, said jokingly.

Fang Zheng smiled slightly: "Two chiefs, at present, our artillery stocks are sufficient, and our commander-in-chief will send people to transport them a few more times, but they will not be able to transport them, don't worry, my old side will definitely not hold you back, usually our major factories are working hard to produce, just so that everyone can use them to their heart's content today." ”

When everyone saw Fang Zheng say this, they all laughed happily.

Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, and said to Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department: "Old Deng, now we are not what we used to be, we must always put the lives and safety of the soldiers first, and we will definitely not use troops to charge if we can use artillery bombardment." ”

Everyone also sighed, a little moved in their hearts, they didn't expect the commander-in-chief to take the lives of the soldiers so seriously, even if a lot of ammunition is consumed, as long as the casualties can be reduced, the commander-in-chief will not hesitate to do it.

Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone was a little emotional, and he also smiled faintly, and then said: "I expect that the vanguard of the little devil reinforcements will arrive in Zhangjiakou tomorrow morning and give an order to the flying team. ”

Seeing that the plane will be dispatched again tomorrow, everyone's hearts are slightly excited, and they begin to be full of anticipation......

Early the next morning, after a night's march, Chu Tianming's Sixth Infantry Division had reached a place less than 50 kilometers east of Guisui, and further west, it began to enter the mountainous area east of Guisui.

Yesterday evening, the Sixth Infantry Division first set off from Fengzhen, where it was stationed, to Jining, and a road was built between Fengzhen and Jining, so that the troops could easily reach Jining, and then set off from Jining and marched to Guisui.

Although Chu Tianming's Sixth Infantry Division was equipped with several hundred large trucks, it was far from enough compared to the Sixth Infantry Division, which had more than 20,000 people, so the two regiments of the vanguard set off from Jining City by truck overnight, and drove for three or four hours along the rugged road, and only arrived at the place called Baoan Town at dawn.

Baoan Town is a fallen area, and a small devil squadron is stationed, but it has been wiped out by Chu Tianming's soldiers with lightning speed.

Chu Tianming stepped out of the off-road vehicle, looked at the small security town, and ordered loudly: "Everyone rest outside the town, don't disturb the people, all the trucks go back the same way to pick up the follow-up troops." ”

The large army behind it, also starting from Jining, is marching here on foot, and now it is estimated that it is only twenty or thirty kilometers out of Jining City, and these trucks just take some more troops to reach here.

As for the armored divisions, cavalry divisions, etc., their mobility is much stronger than their own infantry divisions, and they have already reached the designated position two or three hours ago, taking advantage of the darkness, and now they are estimated to be resting and waiting for the commander-in-chief's order to attack
