Chapter 478 Farewell Telegram!
Chapter 481 Farewell telegram!
The nearly 6000 Eighth Route Army led by Ding Wei ambushed the devil reinforcements coming from the direction of Ping'an County in a place called Guangou.

Compared with Xiaoye Village, where Kong Jie led his troops to ambush, Guangou was an ideal ambush location.

Guangou is actually a canyon, and the road from Heyuan County to Pingan County passes through the bottom of the valley.

The vicinity of the canyon is the standard loess terrain in Northwest Shanxi, with almost no vegetation, only a few bushes, iron-blue rocks exposed, and almost no vegetation.

After the devil's reconnaissance plane flew over, Ding Weicai led his troops closer to the ambush site, and not very close at first, two kilometers away from the ambush site.

After the devil's scouts and vanguard passed by, Ding Weicai ordered the troops to press up.

Not long after, more than 3000 devils and puppet troops came in mighty force.

Next, the artillery group began to exert force. Under the continuous shelling of 9 large-caliber heavy artillery, 2 105mm howitzers, and more than 30 75mm mountain artillery, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry pressed forward, and after more than an hour of fighting, they finally wiped out most of the enemies.

Because the soldiers of the two companies made a mistake in cooperating, the devils of a squadron and some puppet troops tore a hole and fled back to Ping'an County.

But this is harmless to Ding Wei, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen.

The devil fled back to Ping'an County, and he happened to be attacking the city anyway.

Therefore, Ding Wei led his troops to attack in the direction of Ping'an County, destroying more than 30 ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers along the way, and it didn't take long for them to approach the city of Ping'an County.

……

Heyuan County, outside the West City.

The battle went so smoothly that it almost became a one-sided massacre.

With the fighting power of the new regiment, the 224rd Squadron of the 3th Regiment was quickly wiped out, the city wall was occupied, and the devils' retreat was completely cut off.

Coupled with the continuous output of heavy firepower such as machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, the long-range artillery support of 2 artillery battalions.

The more than 2000 devils who rushed out of Xicheng were wiped out in less than half an hour.

Wei Dayong, the battalion commander of the second division outside the Dongcheng Gate, also reported that the devils who tried to break out of the siege had been repelled twice, and the devils suffered heavy losses.

Immediately afterwards, good news came from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, killing a large number of devils.

Regarding Ding Wei and Kong Jie's tactical command ability, Li Yunlong is still very relieved. Among the commanders of the entire Eighth Route Army, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are both ranked first.

At this point in the battle, Li Yunlong heaved a sigh of relief, and the overall situation was almost settled.

Today's battle alone has severely damaged the 36th Division, and the main force of the 36th Division has been wiped out, which means that 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1000 tons of food have been obtained.

Li Yunlong expected a tough fight, and was prepared for it.

In Heyuan County, there were more than 7000 devils and puppet troops. When they attacked Heyuan County, Li Yunlong was ready to cause at least 5000 casualties.

But Li Yunlong didn't expect the devils to break through so early and directly hit the muzzle and muzzle of the Xinyi regiment.

The aerial bombs dropped by the Devil's plane caused some losses to the Xinyi Group.

However, the Devil's plane did not dive to drop bombs accurately, but dropped bombs at high altitude, and the bombs were dropped under a powerful anti-aircraft firepower net.

Some devil pilots dropped the aerial bombs carried by the bomber before aiming, and then hurriedly pulled the plane into the clouds.

This led to a very low hit rate of the aerial bombs dropped by the Devil's plane.

After the battle outside the city, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

Xing Zhiguo looked at the burning devil tank.

There is something about the devil's infantry and tank coordination, but not much. The densely packed devil's infantry followed the tank and tried to rely on the tank to fight a bloody path, but it hardly played any role.

Although the bazooka rocket launchers of the soldiers in the third division were not very accurate, they couldn't hold back the large number of rocket soldiers and bazooka.

Xing Zhiguo said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that these tanks just burned like this. If they can be captured by us, there will be a tank company."

"It's a pity, it's just the little devil's tank." Li Yunlong looked calm, "It's small and thin-skinned, and its firepower is just that way, so it can only bully our poorly equipped troops."

As the equipment provided by Boss Chen got better and better, Li Yunlong's vision has long been improved and he has become very picky.

If you want to change to another army, with the cover of 12 tanks and more than 20 Devil planes, maybe the Devils can really break out of the encirclement.

However, Li Yunlong's tactic of flattening the anti-aircraft gun completely shattered the devil's dream of breaking out of the encirclement, turning each devil into minced meat, and fulfilling their dreams of jade.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "These 12 tanks can be regarded as a tank squadron, and they can be exchanged for 8 75mm mountain guns from Brother Chen."

Hearing this, Xing Zhiguo immediately felt no pity. Maybe after this battle, the new regiment will be able to get the tanks that were aided by Brother Chen.

While talking, they raised their binoculars and looked towards the battlefield.

Looking around, the entire battlefield has become a mess.

The lucky devil still has a whole corpse, the unlucky devil doesn't even leave the whole corpse, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, a lump of internal organs on the left, one amputated limb in the west, and one foot can step on the intestines if you are unlucky On the next day, the feces in the intestines exploded in an instant, and the scene was extremely disgusting.

Seeing this scene, many recruits from the third division vomited out the meat sandwiches they ate at noon on the spot, and had to continue cleaning the battlefield after vomiting.

Although the recruits had participated in several battles before and seen disgusting scenes, they were nothing compared to the current scene.

However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang remained calm as usual.

The battlefield is like this, and they have seen more disgusting scenes than this.

Not only Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, but even veterans such as the squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander were unresponsive, urging the recruits to clean up the battlefield quickly.

At this time, the street fighting in the city was still going on, with intense explosions and gunfire.

Li Yunlong held up the binoculars, but there was a look of expectation on his face. The devil played a trick and tried to break out from the west gate.

Then, there is a high probability that the head of the division, Jing Guanren, is among these devils...

……

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Within half an hour, bad news reached the headquarters one after another.

"Report that the 222nd Regiment was shelled in Xiaoye Village, [-] kilometers northwest of Anhua County."

"Report, the 223rd Wing was ambushed in Guangou, [-] kilometers southwest of Ping'an County!"

After receiving these two messages, Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't think there was anything wrong, and the Eighth Route Army's encirclement and reinforcements were expected.

At most it's just a fight.

The main infantry and main artillery of the Xinyi Regiment are both in Heyuan County, unless they have double or triple the strength, coupled with powerful artillery firepower, they will have a chance to eat these two reinforcements.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't know that Ding Wei's new second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment had already been expanded, each with an artillery battalion.

The size of each artillery battalion is equivalent to that of an artillery regiment of the Japanese army. In addition, Li Yunlong transferred heavy artillery to support it. The artillery firepower is already stronger than that of the artillery regiment of the Japanese permanent division.

Immediately afterwards, worse news reached the headquarters.

"Report, there is an artillery wing shelling the 222nd Wing, which has large-caliber heavy artillery!"

"Report, there is an artillery wing ambushing the 223rd Wing, which has large-caliber heavy artillery, and the Eighth Route Army has at least 6000 people!"

When Yoshio Iwamatsu, Hua Guzheng and the others heard this, their expressions changed immediately.

Artillery Wing, large-caliber heavy artillery, and the Eighth Route Army have at least 6000 people. The Eighth Route Army is here to destroy the reinforcements!
According to this calculation, there are 1 Eighth Route Army soldiers participating in the ambush, and there are more than 2 people in Heyuan County.

The Eighth Route Army had to send troops to stop the 3rd Brigade and prepare for reinforcements from Taiyuan.

According to this calculation, the strength of the Eighth Route Army may be nearly 3!
"This is impossible!" Yoshio Yanmatsu shouted, "Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many troops, did they come out of the ground?"

Hanaya Masao, Miyazaki Masao, and all the combat staff were unable to reply to Iwamatsu Yoshio's words.

The battle hall fell into deathly silence.

"Report to General!"

Communications Staff Officer Nakamura Takeo held a telegram in his hand, walked in with a panicked expression, and reported to Yoshio Iwamatsu, "Masaburo Mase, the communications team of the 36th Division, sent a farewell telegram!"

"What, a farewell telegram?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu turned around suddenly, his face full of disbelief, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Hi!" Takeo Nakamura confirmed, "Farewell telegram, the 36th Division sent a farewell telegram!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu snatched the telegram from Takeo Nakamura's hand, only to see that there were only 6 words on the telegram: Farewell telegram, the last

The content of the farewell telegram was only two words, and the content behind it was gone, which indicated that the telegraph operator encountered an accident after sending out only these two words, either the telegraph machine was broken or the telegraph operator died.

But the four words of the farewell telegram already represent everything.

Lieutenant General Jingguan and the locust army who broke out from the encirclement have most likely already devoted their allegiance to the Japanese locust.

The entire combat hall fell into deathly silence again!
This is another Japanese lieutenant general who was killed by Xinyi regiment and Li Yunlong.

This pair of Yoshio Iwamatsu, who had just taken office, was like a bolt from the blue to the headquarters of the First Army and even the entire First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's face was pale, his body was on the verge of falling, Hua Guzheng hurriedly supported him, and asked in a concerned tone: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you alright?"

"Hanagu-kun, I'm fine!" Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand, looked at Takeo Nakamura, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? With the cover of tank squadrons and planes, how could Lieutenant General Iseki fail to break through? What's going on? ?”

"Hi!" Takeo Nakamura lowered his head, trying to keep his tone as smooth as possible, "I have already contacted the reconnaissance plane. According to the observer of the reconnaissance plane, the flying team directly under the North China Front Army attacked the defensive positions of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The flying team was shot down 4 2 aircraft, damaged [-] aircraft, and then the Eighth Route Army used heavy anti-tank weapons, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns to aim at the imperial army tanks and imperial infantry that broke out..."

Although the devil's fighter jets and bombers flew away, the devil's reconnaissance plane was still circling at high altitude in Heyuan County to observe the battle situation.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was furious when he heard the words.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

Every time he yelled, he slapped his palms on the desk, and the whole desk was about to crumble.

After slapping the table three times, Yoshio Iwamatsu said with tearing eyes, "It's fine to use machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to deal with tanks, but to use them to shoot infantry flat. People like Li Yunlong should be court-martialed!"
