It's not that Lin Feng and Du Zifu don't believe in their favorite generals, but that the battle of Qingfengdian is important to the entire Baoding battlefield. If Qingfeng Store is not taken, even if Xiong Botao takes the front line of Anguo, Daxin, and Dongting, he will not be able to completely block the retreat of the Japanese army on the Baoding battlefield.

Even if he won Dingxian on time and went out to the front line of Mingyue Store. But if the Qingfengdian breakthrough is not closed in time, whether you can stop the retreating Japanese army by the enemy at that time is really two different things. After all, having fought with the Japanese army for so many years, whether it is Lin Feng or Du Zifu, they know the Japanese army too well.

It is possible for the Japanese army to retreat when it is defeated, and it is quite normal to be divided and encircled. But no matter how miserable the defeat is, there is no time for the rout and retreat, and there is no time for the overall collapse. That is to say, when the Japanese army retreated, in most cases, at least part of the troops, still maintained complete combat effectiveness.

Moreover, when the Japanese army retreated, it always had a clear division of labor. The troops after the break put up desperate resistance to buy time for the main force to break through. The Qingfengdian line was the only place for the Japanese army to retreat to the Shimen line. If you can't take down the Qingfeng shop. Once the retreating Japanese army rushed through Qingfengdian and rushed to Dingxian, then the impact on the overall situation would be too great.

And at this moment, Li He, who has entered a critical moment in the front-line battle of Qingfeng Shop, naturally does not know that his two top bosses, although they have made promises, they are still a little not too relieved. In fact, at the moment, he is under more pressure than his two top bosses who are not very reassuring.

He knew that in addition to taking the entire Qingfeng shop as quickly as possible, and completing the entire campaign deployment of the five wings of the Japanese army on the Baoding battlefield completely blocked by his superiors. There was no second option to choose from, and the arrogance in his heart made him not allow himself to fail.

Knowing that his previous preparations were too meticulous, Li He, who had been delayed for too long, knew even better. The time lost in preparation must be regained after it actually starts. Because he didn't know what the Baoding battlefield was like now, and whether there were Japanese troops who had broken through.

If there is, plus the enemy of Baoding, then the number will definitely not be too small. So he clearly knew that in the entire Qingfeng Shop battlefield, there was not much time left for him. Otherwise, once the retreating Japanese troops arrive, not only will they not be able to complete the task assigned by the division commander, but they will also be in the middle of a flank attack.

Although Li He was fully prepared and adopted a variety of tactics and means, he forcibly advanced into the depth of the Japanese army. Although his two companies of sharp knives had torn through the entire perimeter of the Japanese army. The second echelon completely destroyed the Japanese army in Qingfengdian, the first and second lines of defense in the east, and had begun to develop in depth.

But as more and more troops were put into the counterattack by Goichi Nakahata, the intensity of the counterattack also increased. His idea of completely dividing the defenders was never realized. Although with the cooperation of the attacking troops from the north and south, they were constantly bleeding the defenders, and the fighting of Nakahata Goichi was quite weak, and even a little unsustainable.

But he was never able to at least drive the Japanese army out of Qingfeng Store within the time he expected. He broke into the sharp knife battalion in the Japanese position, and always fought with the remnants of the Japanese army, in the town of Qingfengdian, which had become a ruin at this time, in the continuous fierce battle, the houses inside and outside the town had become rubble piles at the moment, and the communication trenches that had been exposed by the Japanese army had become large and small battlefields.

The follow-up second echelon was also entangled by some of the troops reinforced from both flanks by Nakahata Goichi regardless of casualties, with the cooperation of tanks. Although the attacking force was slow, it still continued to press the Japanese army on the Pinghan Railway to the west of the town, but the speed of the advance was always not fast, and even in some sections, it had become the last thing Li He wanted to see.

The Japanese reacted extremely quickly and immediately readjusted their deployment as soon as the flames of the incendiary bombs had subsided. In the middle of the road, shrink a portion of your forces into the rubble. With the first echelon of the Anti-United Nations, a rubble pile and a rubble pile. The battle went on with extraordinary difficulty.

Although the tanks dispatched by the Japanese were specially left on the eastern battlefield by him to provide direct fire support, a 76-mm self-propelled artillery battery was destroyed in the shortest possible time, in conjunction with the recoilless guns and rocket launchers equipped with the infantry. The tanks dispatched by the Japanese army did not pose a substantial threat to his second echelon.

However, the Japanese infantry successfully used the inside and outside of Qingfeng Store, and there was no difference between the battlefield, and the tactical suddenness of the Japanese army's sudden dispatch of tanks caught his second echelon off guard, and the time difference between them and the second echelon was deadly entangled.

Although he has been admonishing himself to be calm in his heart, the long-delayed battle situation made Li He, who was always observing the battle situation with a telescope, somewhat impatient. However, for walkie-talkies and radio stations, reports on the progress of various ministries are constantly coming. Instead of urging, Li He kept admonishing cadres at all levels to be stable.

While observing the battle situation, according to the report of the assault force, Li He repeatedly searched for the weaknesses of the Japanese army in the entire battlefield. After repeated confrontations, he gritted his teeth and threw all the tanks left to him by his superiors on the battlefield. Order the troops attacking from the north to the south and speed up the progress of the operation.

However, at this time the command post had been moved to the eastern periphery of the Japanese army, within a destroyed core fortification. Facing a somewhat stalemate battle, and Li He, who was a little anxious. Or has the defense system basically been disrupted, and he feels that the pressure is increasing, and the forces that can be used at hand, Nakahata Goichi, who is already one of the few left, don't know.

While they are constantly adjusting their deployments, a potential danger is approaching them. The entire battlefield was chaotic into an overall battle situation, and the battlefield of the two sides was staggered, so that the command posts of the two people were on the battlefield. In other words, at the moment, there is no guarantee of security in their respective positions.

As the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 25th Regiment as the Sharp Knife Battalion this time, it was one of the units designated by Li He to infiltrate the Japanese army through the communication trenches. But for Tang Zheng, the commander of the third company, he was also anxious at this time. After two hours of fierce fighting in the depth of the Japanese army, his troops had all broken up at this time, and all the troops around him were only one and a half squads left.

What annoyed him even more was that now not only was his troops out of control, but the key was that he didn't know where he was. After the Japanese army changed Qingfengdian into a key prevention and control area, they forcibly relocated the people here, and a fortress has been formed inside and outside the entire town.

Especially where he is now, many houses have been demolished by the Japanese army in order to open up the firing boundary. Add to that the preparation of artillery fire before the battle began, and the results of hundreds of incendiary rounds. The whole town is already in ruins, and the entire terrain has changed considerably.

Not to mention the Anti-Japanese Federation, which is born in all places, I am afraid that even the old people who have lived in the local area all their lives are here, and they can't find the southeast and northwest. The map of the town's structure that was sent to the attacking forces to find the local residents was now a piece of waste paper. Follow the diagram on it to intersperse, and you may run in that direction.

Looking at the rubble that was still bubbling around me, and listening to the dense gunfire around it. However, because of the obstruction of the ruins and broken walls, he only knew that there was fierce fighting around him, but he could not see the location of the brother troops. As for the other troops led by his instructor, they can't be seen now.

Tang Zheng, who put away the compass, frowned and cursed. After entering the depths of the Japanese army, he found that the Japanese army's communication trenches were built in all directions. As for where these zigzag traffic trenches lead, we can only wait to see. As a result, I just looked at it, and now there is only one and a half shifts left around me, and the instructor doesn't know where to rush.

The walkie-talkie he was carrying was damaged by the Japanese army's cold gun, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to contact the instructor and his superiors. If you send a correspondent to find it, then forget it. In such a chaotic battlefield, don't find troops, you are taking a soldier who has not many left.

Just when Tang Zheng, who was at a crossroads, had a headache about which direction to choose next. A squad leader behind him came up to him and whispered to him that several telephone lines had been found fifty meters to the left behind them. Just now they had already used their bayonets to kill two Japanese communications soldiers who had suddenly jumped out to check the line from a well-camouflaged concealment nearby.

Hearing this news, because Tang Zheng, who could not contact the friendly and neighboring forces, the dark clouds on his face suddenly dispersed. There are telephone lines, and they have also sent line checkers, which undoubtedly shows that there must be at least one brigade-level headquarters of the Japanese army in their own vicinity, and they are a fat fish.

If it is a field telephone at the squadron level, there will definitely be no continuous dispatch of line investigators, let alone several telephone lines. The end of these telephone lines, Tang Zheng can think of with his toes. Although the squad leader shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't see the radio antenna, he still felt that it would definitely be a big fish.

Tang Zheng, who had this opinion, did not hesitate at all, and took the only one and a half shifts under his command and touched it along the telephone line. When encountering the enemy, as long as it is a small group of enemy troops, in order to avoid startling the snake, he does not shoot as much as possible, but takes two veterans to solve it with bayonets.

Although he missed the selection due to injury and was not able to enter the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, he was not only a scout, but also served as a reconnaissance platoon commander. Although the reconnaissance aspects and means, as well as some necessary techniques, tactics, and weapons, are certainly not comparable to those of the reconnaissance units directly under the military region, they are not comparable to ordinary veterans.

In addition, the squad leader who reported to him was also a veteran brought from the reconnaissance company when he was transferred from the reconnaissance company to this company. The two men, plus a veteran, took advantage of the cover of the surrounding rubble piles to open the way with three triangular bayonets unloaded from their rifles, and cautiously groped their way along the telephone line. Fortunately, apart from scattered enemies, he did not encounter a large number of Japanese troops along the way.

In fact, Tang Zheng, whose walkie-talkie was broken, did not know that he was already in the first echelon at the moment, inserting a unit farthest into the depth of the Japanese army. And the energy of the Japanese army was attracted by the fierce battle behind him. Coupled with the casualties, the Japanese army, whose main forces were concentrated behind him, did not have too many troops in depth, so that his fishing operation went smoothly.

His good fortune came to an end when he walked through a short alley that had become a ruin. Although the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side was small, their vigilance was unusually high. Just as Tang was taking advantage of the ruins to cover up, he raised his binoculars and looked carefully to find the end of the telephone line.

A soldier behind him, however, accidentally stepped on a scrap brick that had been damaged by a cannonball, making a noise. As soon as there was a sound here, the Japanese machine guns on that side immediately swept over. The dense crossfire, Tang Zheng and his subordinates couldn't even raise their heads.
