Rise From Eight Hundred

Because Wang Xiaoqiang was focused on how to take the lighter, but he completely ignored the look from his former commander Ye Chenghuan.

With Tang Tuanzuo's understanding of Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, how could he not know that he had to hide the good stuff in front of him?

Watching Wang Xiaoqiang and his guards disappear into the darkness, Ye Chenghuan smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, you are a bit unkind! Anyway, I have to get this wine."

Tang Tuanzuo also grinned: "Director Ye, is Gu Xishui ready at the west gate?"

"Well, Gu Xishui just sent a telegram, and they have installed the explosives!" Ye Chenghuan nodded and replied with a strange look.

It is not enough to describe Tang Dao as a god. From the perspective of Ye Chenghuan, who is already a close comrade of Tang Dao, the best adjective is unpredictable.

Shimen, a transportation hub relatively close to Shanxi Province, has never appeared on the counterattack map of the Second War Zone because the eastern part of Shanxi Province has been completely captured by the enemy and the 20th Division is heavily guarding it. It was not until this counterattack in the eastern part of Shanxi that Shimen came into the sight of all Chinese generals, but that was more imagination than reality.

The previous 80,000 troops pointed their spearheads directly at Shimen, hoping to contain the Japanese North China Front Army and make it difficult for it to withdraw troops to support the Central China battlefield in the short term to achieve the goal of a decisive battle between the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Japanese Central China Front Army.

But as the curtain of the war gradually opened, until the main force of the eastern Shanxi army really arrived at the foot of Shimen City, Ye Chenghuan, who had become the third in command of the Four-Line Regiment, knew that his commander had actually started to lay out plans for Shimen five months ago.

Yes, waiting for several hours under the city without attacking the city, Tang Dao was not waiting for the Second Brigade of the North China Security Army to be frightened and quietly "cooperate"!

To be precise, he was waiting for the insider in the city to send out news!

Moreover, this time, the insider that Tang Dao was waiting for was not affiliated with the Military Control Commission or the 80th Army's underground anti-Japanese armed forces, but the intelligence system of the Four-Line Regiment.

Less than half a month after the Four-Line Regiment entered Dakouzi Cave, more than 20 veterans of the Four-Line Regiment's security department disappeared inexplicably. Their list was not even in the political department in charge of personnel and politics. Even Ye Chenghuan did not know the existence of this group of people.

They had only one top leader, that is, Tang Dao, who was a top secret in the Four-Line Regiment. If Tang Dao died that day, this group of people could not even prove that they were members of the Four-Line Regiment.

Tang Dao, who had experienced the Battle of Shentouling, deeply realized the importance of intelligence from the moment he stepped into Licheng, but Tang Dao knew that his fate must be in his own hands.

Therefore, it was imperative to develop his own intelligence system. Even though there were many places to spend money when he first arrived at the station, Tang Dao still squeezed out some funds and sent personnel to sneak into major cities in North China occupied by the Japanese army, which naturally included the important town of Shimen.

In less than five months, the spy network built by the loyal veterans was still very weak, and most of them were still struggling to survive at the bottom of the city. Except for being familiar with the corners of the city, the others had not yet been fully on the right track.

But in Shimen, the secret agent codenamed "Honglonglong" of the Four Lines Group developed very well because of his special identity.

With the assistance of a Japanese soldier who saved his life, he monopolized 30% of the grain sales and transportation in Shimen.

In the war years, what is the most valuable commodity? In addition to the food that can keep people alive, even arms can only be ranked behind it. The money is made faster than the printing press.

As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill, and the Japanese also love money. With an army officer of the left-level as an endorsement and money as a way forward, "Honglonglong" can be said to be doing well in Shimen City. Even heavyweight generals like Kawagishi Saburo have visited his home.

Of course, the purpose was not to have this meal, but to test whether this person was loyal to the sun and take away 100 taels of gold.

In the Japanese-occupied area, all Chinese were leeks in the field, Chinese merchants were workers who cut leeks, and the Japanese were the ones who got the fruits of their labor without any effort.

Otherwise, what do you think the purpose of robbing land is? Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the mountains, reciting poems and painting?

When Tang Dao confessed to his political director and chief of staff that the insiders in the city had already dug a 200-meter-long cave under the wall of the West Gate, the director of the Night University, who was still frowning and calculating how many casualties he would have to bear to attack the city, was almost blinded by the light of his own regiment commander.

It's very good. It's okay to have set your sights on Shimen for a long time. The key is that the immortal you sent actually dug a tunnel under the noses of the Japanese. How did you do it?

Also, the so-called code name "Boom Boom", are you serious? It's too casual!

That was because Director Ye Da didn't know names like 'Red Spider', 'Galvatron', 'Bumblebee', and Commander Tang himself was called 'Optimus Prime'

Of course, Tang Dao was not meant to pay tribute to the little iron men on the planet Cybertron. If it appeared in this era with such a name, absolutely no one would know it. The code name can completely replace the password, which simplifies many procedures.

The tunnel was originally used for passage. Although it was not wide, a fully armed soldier could pass through it with his back bent. Otherwise, why would Tang Dao wait all the time? It was until Wu Jihei sent a small group of soldiers into the city from there, and then they joined forces from inside and outside.

But as the Second Brigade of the North China Security Army completely surrendered, this plan was no longer used, and an upgraded version of the raid plan was adopted instead.

The reconnaissance company had more than 40 people, who entered the stone gate from the defense zone of the Second Brigade and carried in 400 kilograms of explosives, which scared Liu Zhuangfei so much that he almost turned against them.

After all, 400 kilograms of explosives could not only blow a big gap in his East Gate wall, but also wipe out most of his infantry battalion.

In order to show that he led the Second Brigade to fight bravely, he arranged two infantry battalions at the East Gate. In accordance with the arrangement made by He Tian Shao Zuo in the evening, two infantry battalions were also deployed in the North City. To the north of He Tian Shao Zuo's headquarters, he personally commanded two infantry battalions and a guard company to assist in the defense of the railway station and baggage warehouse!

To put it bluntly, this puppet army major general who had submitted the "signature letter" had already made plans. The two infantry battalions defending the east gate were destined to be cannon fodder. The two infantry battalions near the north city were all up to luck. If they could escape, they would escape. If they couldn't escape, it didn't matter. What he really wanted to take away were Liu Fengchi's infantry battalion and the infantry battalion personally commanded by the lieutenant colonel adjutant and his own guard company.

It was closest to the railway. As long as the Four-line Regiment left him a gap, he could take the defeated soldiers along the railway and escape to Baoding through the Hutuo River. Tang Dao even allowed him to set up a blocking position along the Hutuo River to pretend. That meant that even if I was defeated, I had blocked the Chinese pursuit and gained a glimmer of hope for the Imperial Army.

As for how many people could escape, I couldn't control it!

Tang Dao's words were all verbal promises. Even if he didn't believe it, he could only pretend to believe it, because there was no other way out.

But this does not mean that this brigadier general of the security army is a fool and does not leave himself any backup.

He has more than 1,100 soldiers in the East Gate defense position. Even if he is defeated, he must be defeated later than the Japanese position. Otherwise, even if he escapes back to Baoding, the Japanese upper echelons who are angry and ashamed may take him as a defeated general!

The defense of the East Gate is his bottom line!

Seeing the Chinese quietly carrying in hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, Liu Zhuangfei must be furious!

As a result, the soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment ignored him and had no intention of burying explosives in his East Gate position. Instead, they wore the uniform of his Second Brigade and entered the city at night.

It seems that they went to bomb the Japanese. Liu Zhuangfei was completely relieved. He called a colonel commander who was stationed at the East Gate and issued a death order of "raising vigilance and defending the East Gate to the death", and he stayed away from this place of trouble.

After receiving the report from the lieutenant squad leader who was supervising the battle at the East Gate, Kawada Shaozuo, who was at the command center in the city, finally felt relieved.

Although the Chinese army was besieging the city, his Shimen defenders were doomed to fail, but there was still hope.

The division commander Kawagishi Saburo and the front chief of staff called him personally, saying that he only needed to hold on for two days and reinforcements would arrive!

Kawagishi Saburo was not playing tricks. The two infantry regiments in HD were trying their best to get rid of the Chinese with the help of friendly forces and would arrive at Shimen within 48 hours.

3,000 against 30,000, it was definitely a sure defeat. If the Chinese attacked in a hurry, let alone two days, if they attacked overnight, he might not have a chance to see tomorrow's sun.

But the Chinese only took one day to rush from Niangzi Pass to Shimen, which was a distance of more than 70 kilometers. They should be very tired after running all day. They haven't launched an attack yet, so they probably need to rest for a night. Doesn't that buy him 10 hours?

Kawada Shozuo, who saw a glimmer of hope in this despair, was also desperate. He used to look down on the Second Brigade of the Security Army, but after receiving a call from his superior, he regarded the Second Brigade as the most important chess piece to support the two days.

4,500 Security Army, no matter how poor their combat effectiveness is, can still be equivalent to most of the Imperial Infantry Battalion!

The Chinese played the trick of "surrounding three and attacking one", which was just right, allowing him to put the main force in the other two places.

There were 3,000 people in the city, except for the infantry battalion under his command, and more than 1,700 people were second-line soldiers such as baggage soldiers and engineers.

Kawada organized more than 1,700 second-line soldiers into 7 infantry squadrons, 4 of which were responsible for entering the main positions of the west and south walls. In this way, he only needed to send out two main infantry squadrons to make the strength of the west and south walls reach more than 600 people each. He transferred two infantry squads to supervise the second brigade, and then used the two infantry battalions of the second brigade to defend the north city attacked by the Chinese sheep.

In this way, he still had nearly 300 main infantry and nearly 1,000 second-line soldiers from 3 squadrons in his hands. He could provide support to the three positions at any time according to the battle situation, and even had spare strength to defend the baggage warehouse and the railway station.

The various materials piled up outside the railway station were originally to be blown up according to the requirements of Kawagishi Saburo and Okamoto Saburo, but Kawada could also hear the heartache of the two Saburo-level superiors.

After all, Shimen was the front-line supply base determined by the front half a year ago. The food and ammunition of the 200,000 troops attacking Jin Province were all transported here, enough for the 200,000 troops to eat for half a year, and most of the captured from the front were also transported here and then transported to Pingbei City and Jincheng.

If converted into money, that number can even make many people lose count of how many zeros there are for a while.

What if? If this batch of supplies can be protected, it is not difficult for the young left to become a big left! Isn't there at least one big left position vacant in the 39th Infantry Brigade?

It can only be said that Kawada, who is already like a gambler with red eyes, is still dreaming of winning a bet and turning over a new leaf!

However, it was also because of the crazy gamble of the Japanese Army Shao Zuo that the foundation was laid for the great victory of the Chinese Army at Shimen!

If this guy really blew up the supplies in advance, Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang would be so distressed that he couldn't eat for a few days! He would not drink wine at all.

The battlefield is changing rapidly. Intelligence in the city shows that the Japanese army has deployed two infantry squadrons on each of the two city walls, but as a commander, neither Tang Dao nor Wang Xiaoqiang will deploy troops based on the number of troops of the opponent.

No matter how many enemies there are, since they have decided to fight, it is basically a lion fighting a rabbit. It is not over until you are slapped to death.

Like Wang Xiaoqiang, there are two infantry regiments with nearly 5,000 people, and more than 20 large and small artillery for support. Ye Chenghuan knows that he will win, but he will not be able to enter the city in less than two hours.

The South Gate, which was mainly attacked by the First Infantry Battalion of the Four-Line Regiment, had a force of 4,000 people. With the tunnel dug several months in advance and the 400 kilograms of explosives smuggled in by the Second Brigade of the Security Army, how long could the Japanese hold out?

Standing in a temporary bunker 800 meters outside Shimen City, looking at the earthen walls reflected by the Japanese searchlights, Ye Chenghuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to lead his troops directly to such a big city, and he never thought that it might really be possible to take it down in one go!

Tang Dao, the director of the Operations Department of the Shimen Front Command, looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Dayu, send a telegram to the Shimen Front Command, the Sihang Regiment, and all the regiments on the Shimen Front. At 8:45 p.m. on September 16, the 921st Division of the 80th Army, the 101st Division of the 22nd Army, the Sihang Regiment directly under the Army, the 17th Division, the 12th Division, and the 104th Division under the war zone will launch an attack on Shimen, the headquarters of the 20th Division of the Japanese invaders on the Jindong Front.

Telegram to all Chinese officers and soldiers participating in the war, not afraid of sacrifice, and bravely kill the enemy. After this battle, whether alive or dead, your names will be with The Chinese nation is together.

Long live the Chinese nation! "

"Long live the Chinese nation!" Wang Xiaoqiang, who received the telegram, had his eyes shining and picked up the phone: "I order all artillery to target all Japanese fortifications on the city walls and gates. Cover the city walls and gates with artillery fire for ten minutes and fire!

In addition, all units are ordered to leave no reserve troops in this battle. Either the enemy dies or we die. Damn it, kill the devils!"

"Long live the Chinese nation!" Leng Feng, who was standing on the Niangzi Pass and looking at the direction of Shimen, concerned about the main force of the regiment, closed his eyes gently after receiving the telegram handed to him by the signalman behind him, and muttered to himself in the breeze.

At that moment, no one knew that under his calm expression, there were turbulent waves!

One day, he will lead the army to stand in front of the big city occupied by the Japanese army, roaring "Fire!" If he doesn't kill all the devils, he will be sorry for his younger brother and relatives.

"Long live the Chinese nation!" The white-haired general received the telegram from Tang Dao, his hands shook fiercely, and his voice was resolute and courageous. "In the name of the Shimen Front Command, the whole army shall follow the order of Director Tang and launch an attack on the Japanese invaders on time. The whole army shall follow our order. Those who miss the opportunity to fight shall be executed; those who are afraid of fighting and do not move forward shall be executed."

"Long live the Chinese nation!" Liu, the commander of the 921st Division, and Cheng, the brigade commander, saw the telegram sent by Tang Dao under the oil lamp, and walked out of the command center together. They stood in the cold forest, looking into the distance, their hearts surging.

Has the battle to counterattack a big city finally begun?

"Long live the Chinese nation!" The stingy old man took the telegram sent by Tang Dao handed over by the fifth sister, and touched his head with less and less hair. "This kid, I am annoyed with him most of the time, but I can't help but like him a little bit! Especially during the battle."

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and laughed! It was as if she had returned to her girlhood.

Before the brilliant artillery fire, the sudden dense transmission of radio waves from all parts of the Jindong front made the communication officers of the Chinese and Japanese armies on duty stunned collectively.

Radio, is it out of order?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" 150 Heavy Force spoke first, and gorgeous bullets bloomed on the city wall, thus opening the curtain of the most glorious battle of this Jindong counterattack.
