Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After hearing the adjutant's report, the Xinyang garrison officer said with a surprised expression: "What? Our division was ambushed in Tianmu Mountain? We need to send troops to rescue? How is this possible? That's a division! A division!"

The garrison officer repeated it again, and soon heard the adjutant smile bitterly: "General, when I received the telegram before, I thought it was false information. But after repeated verification, it is indeed a telegram sent by the No.13 Division.

Even from the several telegrams sent by the division, it must be that the current situation of the division is very unfavorable.The division returned to Xinyang this time without carrying any heavy weapons. If it is ambushed, the situation will be worrying! "

After such an explanation, even if the garrison officer could not accept this kind of accident, he hurriedly said: "Assemble the troops immediately and prepare to rush to Tianmu Mountain for rescue. It is enough to keep a brigade in the city, in fact, all the troops will go out to fight."

'Where's the Royal Association Army? '

'Let them stay and cooperate with the defense!Damn it, where did the Eighth Route Army come from? Didn’t some of our troops patrol the front line of Tianmu Mountain yesterday and didn’t find anything unusual? '

As the garrison officer of Xinyang, he naturally sent troops to patrol this supply line from time to time.And as far as he knew, he occasionally encountered guerrillas from the Eighth Route Army in Tianmu Mountain, and they were often of the hit-and-run kind.

Now I suddenly heard that one of their divisions was ambushed in Tianmu Mountain. Such news is really unacceptable.After all, he knew very well how many troops the Eighth Route Army would need to use in order to ambush the returning No.13 Division.

Thinking of the large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army secretly lurking under his nose, the garrison officers in Xinyang couldn't sit still.Once the division had any mistakes, as the local garrison officer, he would hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame.

In this case, he can no longer take care of the task of guarding Xinyang well.Once the No. 13 Division is completely wiped out, then in the entire territory of Xinyang, can their troops resist the main force of the Eighth Route Army sweeping across the territory?

Seeing groups of Japanese soldiers running out of the city in the heavy rain, the people living in Xinyang felt a little baffled.However, one can more or less guess that something important must have happened nearby, and it is not difficult for the little devil to leave the city at this time.

The Xinyang guerrilla brigade who did not participate in the Tianmu Mountain ambush looked at the Japanese garrison troops leaving the city one after another.But he said excitedly: "Okay! The main force of the little devils has finally left the city, and the rest is up to us.

Order a large team to enter the city from now on, contact our comrades in the city, and find out how many little devils are left in the city.As for the puppet army, let our comrades from the underground party contact us.Let's take Xinyang City tonight! "

As the leader of the local guerrilla brigade, he is naturally clear about the main force ambushing the Japanese division in Tianmu Mountain.As the military backbone drawn from the independent column, the guerrilla captain naturally hoped to participate in the ambush.

But in Luo Ruiqing's view, once the Tianmu Mountain ambush starts, Xinyang City, which has the largest number of garrison troops, will definitely have a large number of Japanese troops out of the city to provide support.Then at that time, Xinyang's city defense will inevitably be empty.

In this case, if it expands to a guerrilla brigade that does not have the next main force, it will be able to take Xinyang City down.In addition to cutting off the little devil's way back to the city, he could also seize a large number of supplies that the little devil had stored in Xinyang.

It can be said that this battle of Tianmu Mountain was also a battle against the Japanese army.To break the stalemate that has been forming between the two sides during this period of time.Unless the Japanese army sends more troops, Xinyang City will belong to the Eighth Route Army in the future.

The Tianmu Mountain ambush that stirred up the surrounding situation is still going on.As the main three regiments cut the Japanese army into two parts, they cooperated with the fourth regiment to launch a campaign against the Japanese rear guard.

Not long after, Xu Renyi, who commanded the battle, still had no time to rest, looking at the numerous dead bodies on the road.Continued: "Third Regiment Commander, I will transfer a main battalion from the Fourth Regiment to you, and now you have changed from blocking to attacking formation.

Cooperate with the first regiment and the second regiment, and give me the fastest speed to deal with the Japanese army that fell on the other side of the mountain pass.The fourth regiment is responsible for cleaning the battlefield and eliminating remnants of the enemy.You two, are you all right? "

'Please rest assured, teacher, to ensure that the task is completed! '

In the previous encirclement and annihilation campaigns, although a large number of little devils were eliminated, some little devils still went into the woods and planned to escape alone.Under such circumstances, it is natural that the Eighth Route Army should send small troops to pursue and suppress them.

For these little devils who ran into the mountains, Xu Renyi knew very well that they could not escape.In terms of the ability to drill through the woods, the little devil is no match for them.What's more, how long can the little devil hide in the mountains without supplies?

But in order to ensure safety, these little devils who escaped naturally had to be wiped out.After dealing with the little devils in the back, the officers and soldiers of the third regiment, who had just experienced a big battle, excitedly participated in the attack on the Japanese army in the front.

Hearing the fierce gunfire from behind, the main force of the Japanese army division, who was breaking out of the mountain pass, also realized that the troops behind had been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.Then, it should be their turn next!

As the head of the division, Tanaka Jingichi is also in a panic at the moment.In the previous battle to break out of the siege, the shells that fell from the sky from time to time also caused the division commander to lie directly on the muddy dirt road several times regardless of his appearance.

Looking at the head of the brigade who was also like a mud monkey, Tanaka Jingyi could only say: "How long will it take for the reinforcements from Xinyang to arrive? Damn it, why is it still raining? If there is air support, we won't be able to It was so embarrassing!"

At this time, Tanaka Jingichi, who was looking forward to the clear sky, looked at the dark clouds still piling up in the sky, but knew that the rain would not stop for a short time.This also means that he can only wait for the support of the ground troops, and don't count on air support.

Hearing Tanaka Jingyi's inquiry, the head of the brigade said bitterly: "The defenders in Xinyang are already on their way here. It's just that the road conditions here are not too optimistic. If they want to come here, I'm afraid it will take a certain amount of time." time."

From Xinyang to here, it is nearly [-] kilometers away.Even for the garrison troops in Xinyang, there is a batch of cars that can speed up their support.But a large number of troops who came to aid could only rush here on two legs.

In addition, it is raining now, under such circumstances, it will undoubtedly add a lot of burden to the marching of the troops.This also means that it is unknown whether they can wait until the reinforcements arrive!

Looking at the troops running past him, Tanaka Jingyi suddenly felt that he didn't want to leave anymore.Some voices said in a low voice: "Look for favorable terrain to start defense! It looks like this, it is difficult for us to break out.

Order the troops to shrink their strength, and we will fight a defensive counterattack against the Eighth Route Army here.If we can wait until reinforcements arrive, maybe we still have hope of breaking through.If we can't wait, we have to prepare for the collective jade fragmentation. "

Don't break out, stick to it and wait for help!Is this practice of putting one's death to one's death really useful?But compared to continuing to break through, it is also an effective way to preserve strength! (To be continued.)

Chapter 695 Trustworthy Troops!

(ps: The last day of the double monthly pass, book friends who have a monthly pass, hurry up and vote! Now one vote is worth two votes!)

The No.13 division was ambushed in the area of ​​​​Tianmu Mountain. When the news reached the headquarters of the Central China Front Army, it also caused an uproar among the top leaders of the Front Army.It is hard to believe that there is still an armed force capable of ambushing them in Xinyang.

However, with the constant telegrams for help from the No.13 Division, the commander of the Front Army, Hata Shunroku, finally realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Central China.It is clearer that they have been fooled again this time.

Whether it is winning the new county seat at night, or recovering Macheng.These actions were all for the Eighth Route Army to lure their main divisions to return.Then concentrate their superior forces to encircle and annihilate their returning main divisions.

Once this plan is successful, if they attack the three divisions in Henan, the overall attack power will be greatly reduced.Even with the large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army entering Henan, if one is not careful, their troops entering Henan will be in danger.

Looking at the rescue telegram sent by the No.13 Division, Hata Shunroku also said anxiously: "Order the aviation unit near Wuhan to take off immediately and go to Tianmu Mountain to provide air support to the No.13 Division!"

As a result, the chief of staff said helplessly, "Your Excellency, there is currently a thunderstorm in Xinyang, and our air force cannot take off at all. According to the forecast of the local meteorological observation station, this thunderstorm will last at least a day or so."

'That means we can't provide air support at all, right? '

'Yes, Your Excellency.However, our garrison in Xinyang, after receiving a telegram from the No.13 Division for help, they have already dispatched a unit to Tianmu Mountain for rescue. '

After listening to the chief of staff's report, Hata Shunroku shook his head and said: "From Xinyang to Tianmu Mountain, unless we use cars to transport troops. If the troops march alone, the distance is nearly a hundred miles. When the reinforcements arrive, the battle may be over.

Send me an order to call the No.13 Division and ask them to find a way to break through.If you can't break through, choose a favorable terrain in the mountains and stand by for help.Anyway, they also have tens of thousands of troops, I don't believe they can't last a day. "

But what Hata Shunroku didn't expect was that before his telegram was sent to the No.13 Division, as the division commander, Tanaka Seiichi had already made the decision to give up the breakout and stand by for help.Choose to build simple fortifications in the mountains and fight against the Eighth Route Army to the end.

Luo Ruiqing, who was in charge of the battlefield command, saw that the Japanese army began to gather at the location of the Chinese army.And built a series of blocking fortifications on the outside, and knew that the little devil did not intend to break out at this time, but chose to stick to it.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Go to someone, tell Master Xu, first clean up the little devils on the periphery. Since the little devils choose to stick to the center circle, then we will give them a little hope. The heavy artillery regiment targets the enemy's blocking position. Carry out gun position adjustments.

No shelling is allowed without an order from the headquarters.At this time, they still want to stand by and wait for help, which is simply wishful thinking.The favorable terrain around here is in our hands, what else can they do! "

As Luo Ruiqing's order was conveyed to the Second Division, the Eighth Route Army troops who were chasing them also fought very easily against the Japanese troops who were successively gathering at the position of the Central Army.Let a group encircle and wipe out a group, constantly devouring the strength of this Japanese army division.

At this time, those Japanese troops that were far away from the central army faced concentrated encirclement and annihilation by the superior forces of the Eighth Route Army.Not long after, the gunshots in Tianmu Mountain seemed to have weakened a lot.

Just when many people felt that the battle in the mountains was over.After receiving the news from Xu Renyi, the surrounding Japanese troops have been eliminated.Luo Ruiqing understood that the final battle of encirclement and annihilation could begin.

'Call the Heavy Artillery, they can start shelling.Tell Mr. Xu that the little devil from Xinyang has come out.We also want to end the battle early, and return to Xinyang City to celebrate! '

'Yes, Chief of Staff! '

For Luo Ruiqing, the heavy artillery regiment was brought to Tianmu Mountain to stand by, just to add an insurance to the victory.Most of the artillery units that shelled the Japanese army before were mountain artillery and field artillery directly under the artillery regiment of the army.

As for this kind of expensive heavy artillery, Luo Ruiqing will not use it easily unless necessary.After all, with the current capabilities of the arsenal, although this kind of shells can be imitated, the quantity is still pitifully low.

It's just that now it's time for the final battle of annihilation. Ending this battle early can also reassure the central government and the headquarters earlier.If this good news can be sent to the headquarters as soon as possible, Luo Ruiqing believes that those chiefs will be happy.

The heavy artillery regiment, which was already ready for shelling, followed Luo Ruiqing's order, and more than a dozen heavy artillery, which had been brought in with great effort, showed their ferocious faces again, and smashed heavy shells into the Japanese positions.
