Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

It is not yet known how long their main force, the first division, can hold up in front.It is now less than four hours before dawn.Send a report to the 51st Army, ordering them to step up their offensive and try not to make life easier for the little devils in the town.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the 77th Army, hoping that they could make a breakthrough as soon as possible.Also, has the 71st Army reached the attack position now?According to the time, they should have arrived by this time, right? "

'Half an hour ago, we sent an inquiry telegram and have not yet received a reply! '

'Send another telegram to inquire!If they arrive, let them rest and attack after daylight.At that time, the attacking troops on the other three sides will also appropriately share some pressure on them.

As long as the town can be completely surrounded, it's just a palm-sized area, I see how the little devil can defend it.There are nearly [-] troops, even if I use the crowd tactics, I will drown the little devils. '

Seeing that both the 51st Army and He Zhengdao had made breakthroughs, Li Zongren also heaved a sigh of relief.Through this kind of victory, he also has a little more confidence in victory.Therefore, Li Zongren gradually relaxed and planned to encircle and wipe out the remaining Japanese troops steadily.

On the other hand, the 77th Army and the 71st Army who were informed of the news at this moment also felt a little incredible.In Feng Zhi'an's view, although there are not many little devils responsible for stopping them, their firepower is indeed very powerful.

After several rounds of attacks, his troops suffered heavy losses.Just when they were about to fight the little devil, a message from the 67th Army made Feng Zhi'an feel bad.

'You son of a bitch, the brats have increased their troops again! '

Originally, I hoped to spend slowly with the little devils, after exhausting their defenders in the position, and then concentrate the main force to break through the Japanese position in one fell swoop.In the end, the little devil was not stupid, and soon sent reinforcements to the west to support the battle.

This means that after they fought for a long time, the little devil's defenders fought more and more.Such news would make Feng Zhi'an a little depressed, which is also a normal thing!

Qiu Jingshan, who once again served as the combat staff of the headquarters, also said at the right time: "Sir, the little devils are increasing their troops at this time, thinking about it because they are afraid that we will take down their positions. It's just that, we can't continue to fight like this.

When the liaison officer of the 67th Army came over, I also chatted with him a few words.Originally, I wanted to ask them to send troops to respond, but the liaison officer said that they don't deploy many troops here, and I'm afraid they won't be able to provide us with much support.

However, at the junction between us and them, Commander He also sent a reconnaissance battalion to harass.With them responding in that position, it can also share a little pressure for us.It's just that this position is too small, and we can't fight openly! "

'yes!The few key positions chosen by the little devil are indeed very powerful.In addition, we don't have artillery in our hands. If we want to capture their position, we really need to chew a little bit.This battle is so frustrating! '

The victories of the 51st Army and the 67th Army really put pressure on Feng Zhian.Even his troops were the last to arrive at the battlefield among the three troops.But Feng Zhi'an also knew that they couldn't take down the western position, which seemed somewhat embarrassing.

However, the current situation is like this, even if Feng Zhian wants to resolve the battle quickly.But he also understands that little devils are not that easy to fight.As for asking the 67th Army for help, he couldn't say that.

What's more, Qiu Jingshan has made it very clear that the 67th Army is also powerless now.Thinking about this period of time, they have been fighting continuously for so long, and Feng Zhian can understand the difficulties of the 67th Army.

At this moment, the troops heading south from the small town for reinforcements retreated decisively after crashing into the minefields.This also means that the Japanese army sticking to the town has chosen to give up retaking the blocking position in the southeast direction! (To be continued.)

The fifth and fourth chapters are all soldiers

When the 71st Army, which was responsible for the main offensive mission, arrived at the position north of the town, they learned that the Japanese blocking position in the southeast had been broken through. {? Hearing this news, Army Commander Song Xilian also seemed very surprised.

Song Xilian came here in pursuit of the escaped Japanese army, and Song Xilian knew very well that the Japanese army was still very good at defense.Even if he had the upper hand in his troops, he still didn't pull the troops over until now.

What surprised Song Xilian even more was that the little devils in charge of the 71st Army's pursuit had many troops desperately blocking them, which not only caused a lot of casualties to the 71st Army, but also delayed their arrival at the planned attack position.

And now that they had just arrived, the 51st Army and He Zhengdao's troops had successfully captured the position held by the Japanese army in the southeast, which really surprised him.But he also knew that this was good news for his attack tomorrow.

At least for the Japanese army in the town, the southeast direction is the closest to the town, and the attack distance is naturally the shortest.This means that the little devils stationed in the town must send heavy troops to defend in the southeast direction.

With all the fighting and calculations, there are only more than 1 Japanese troops left near the town.If the little devils divide their forces to defend in other directions, then the 71st Army will attack the north side, and there will be relatively fewer little devils to deal with.

After receiving the telegram from Li Zongren, Song Xilian also quickly ordered the troops to rest to reserve energy for tomorrow's battle.During this period of time, they should be the most frequent troops in the fifth theater.

But if they refuse to take the lead, it will really let the 51st Army or the 77th Army steal the limelight again.During this period of time, their achievements will also be greatly reduced.Song Xilian was also very clear about this.

Although with the permission of Lao Jiang, he will fight this battle at all costs, and strive to wipe out the No. 16 division of the Japanese army that is trapped in the town.But Song Xilian still hopes that after the battle, the 71st Army can preserve as much strength as possible.

If the old troops are really going to be wiped out, even if Lao Jiang gives him priority to replenish troops and restore the combat effectiveness of the 71st Army, it will not be possible in a short time.It takes a long time to complete military training and troop integration.

He Zhengdao, who also learned of the arrival of the 71st Army, has received confirmation from Li Zongren.The next general offensive will be undertaken by the 71st Army.He Zhengdao also didn't feel any surprise about this decision.

Just judging from the current situation, He Zhengdao had a hunch that the next attack of the 71st Army might not go smoothly.The little devils who are driven to a dead end often show amazing fighting power.

If you want to wipe out the more than 1 little devils who are trapped in the town, the 71st Army may not be enough.But the 71st Army fought a blockade before, and then took on the combat task of breaking the blockage of the little devils.

The 71st Army, which has also been fighting continuously for several days, even if it doesn't need to launch an attack immediately, but only rests for a few hours, how can it recover its physical strength and state?In contrast, the little devil can still get a good rest in the town.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Xiangdong, let our people go to the 51st Army and the 77th Army. Considering tomorrow's battle, I suggest that we should use small troops to attack tonight.

For other troops, hurry up and find a place to rest.Considering that the little devil may send the air force to assist in the battle tomorrow, I also ask the two army commanders to think about air defense.After all, there is not much time left until dawn.

As for our attack, order the mountain artillery unit to shell the town every half hour.Remember, you can use up to three mountain cannons per bombardment.Each mountain cannon fires three shells and then moves, don't fix it in one place. "

Li Xiangdong, who heard these words, immediately smiled and said: "Commander, it seems that the little devil will not be able to sleep tonight!"

'Although this strategy of exhausting troops does not do much damage to the little devil.But if we can cause some troubles for the little devil, then let's not be polite to the little devil.Let Lin Tie's reconnaissance battalion remember to observe the impact point of the shell.

It would be great if you can find the place where the little devil stores supplies, or the little devil's barracks and artillery positions.Things that can be solved with shells should be solved with as few bullets as possible.

As for the troops on the front line, order them to beware of the little devil's defensive counterattack.In addition, build concealment and anti-aircraft fortifications. I think the little devils will bombard the positions we have captured tomorrow, so comrades should be careful. '

Compared with other generals of the Eighth Route Army, most of the time, they would not easily use the mountain cannon as a weapon.Like He Zhengdao, every time a war is fought, the shells will be used generously, but it is still different.

At least in He Zhengdao's view, if one cannonball can solve two little devils, then he still feels profitable.If you use infantry to attack, sometimes you may need to pay the life of a soldier to solve the two little devils.

These days, although shells are very expensive, they are cherished.But He Zhengdao always felt that the lives of soldiers were the most precious.As for the shells, as long as the battle is won, He Zhengdao believes that the capture will not be too small.

For the next battle to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army in the small town, if the 71st Army can really take it down by itself, then He Zhengdao will not snatch any spoils.If he is asked to send troops to assist, he will definitely not let go of the spoils.

At least He Zhengdao was very interested in the supplies that the little devil brought into the town, as well as the heavy artillery that was still preserved.In this place, many of their supplies need to be seized to be replenished.

If you really want to use materials from the base area, regardless of the consumption of time or manpower and material resources, in He Zhengdao's view, the price is quite high.In this case, if the supplementary materials can be seized, why not do it?

Representing the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in Wuhan this time, He Zhengdao already has a record of encircling and annihilating the Tenth Division.This means that he has already certified himself for the Eighth Route Army.The rest is how to get the most benefit.

In order to establish the Central China Military Region in the Dabie Mountains area, the funds and materials needed are not a small amount.As for the central government and the headquarters, the help that He Zhengdao can provide is probably not too much.

The trade negotiations with the Soviet Union were successful, and the Eighth Route Army, which bought a large amount of supplies with real money, actually had little money in their pockets.This means that they still need to live a hard life in the future.

Under the circumstances of self-reliance, He Zhengdao naturally knew the importance of materials to them.This is why He Zhengdao is not taking on the main attack task, but has been complaining about the huge casualties of the troops.

It not only keeps a low profile, so as not to make the Central Army too vigilant, but also can reap certain benefits. Why not do such a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone?But now, it is far from the time to steal the limelight from the Central Army.

Following He Zhengdao's order, the reconnaissance troops occupying the southern position also continued to reinforce the potholes built by the Japanese army before.Considering the possible raid by the little devil tomorrow, the fortifications constructed must be able to withstand air raids.

As for the blocking fortification deployed at the entrance of the town to confront the little devil, the reconnaissance team didn't put much effort into building it.The reason is that the reconnaissance troops are eager for the little devils to come out and attack them!

What's more, if the little devil wants to come out at this time, he still needs to wade through the monitoring of the reconnaissance team and those minefields that have not been trampled clean.It can be said that the 67th Army in the southern position at this moment is the most leisurely and relaxed army.

After receiving the advice given by He Zhengdao, Xu Youchang also realized that there is not much time before dawn.Compared with He Zhengdao, there are not many troops here, so they can find a few safe places to hide, but they have to place a large number of troops.

For a while, including the 77th Army, after sending out small troops to harass the Japanese army, the rest of the troops began to prepare for tomorrow's air defense.In this way, the Japanese army also felt that the attack pressure they were under was greatly reduced.

In response to such a situation, Keisuke Fujie, who also had no way to rest, said in surprise, "Abandon the attack of a large force, and attack with a small force to harass. What kind of conspiracy are these people playing?"

In Fujie Keisuke's view, night is undoubtedly the best opportunity to capture the town he is defending.At this time, the troops in the fifth theater did not seize the time to attack, but weakened their offensive strength. There must be something wrong with it!

On the other hand, the chief of staff with a tired face said: "Your Excellency, division chief, they may think that they have reduced their attack power after successfully encircling us! They should know that they cannot break through the blocking line we set up overnight."
