The Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun watched helplessly as the troops from the Mawushan Military Division passed through their defense area in a mighty manner, barely stopping to greet them.
After a long march, the troops of the Mawushan Military Division finally arrived at the Taihang Mountain base area.
Without waiting for them to rest and recuperate, the commander issued a combat order, allowing the troops of the Mawushan Military Division to go directly into battle.
Kong Jie's life has been very difficult recently. The base area he opened was in the southeast of the Taiyue Military Region. It was the first barrier to entering the hinterland of the Taiyue Military Region base area. The Japanese army concentrated a division and a half of troops and launched a crazy attack on the troops in the Sixth Army Division where Kong Jie was located. ground attack.
In addition to the new second brigade, the troops of the Sixth Army Division also formed two regiments and five county brigades. The military division was established relatively recently. Each of the two newly formed regiments has less than 1,000 people. Most of them are new soldiers and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak. The situation of the five county brigades is even worse. The largest county brigades only have 600 people. The remaining people can still maintain local security, but they are basically useless against the Japanese field troops.
The troops that can really fight in the Sixth Army Division are the three main regiments of Kong Jie's New Second Brigade, with a total strength of less than 10,000.
Faced with a massive Japanese attack, Kong Jie could only command his troops to conduct mobile defense. However, the battle depth of the Sixth Army Division was shallow and there was not much room for maneuver. As a barrier to the southeast of the Taiyue Military Region, in order to protect the core base area where the Taiyue Military Region headquarters was located, the New Second Brigade was also responsible for blocking the Japanese army.
Kong Jie had to concentrate his main force in the Jiuling Mountain area and start a positional battle with the Japanese army.
With the arrival of the main force of the Japanese army, there were also a large number of Huang Xiejun troops. Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the main force of the New Second Brigade and the main force of the Japanese army, they took the opportunity to capture most of the base areas of the Sixth Army Division.
Kong Jie couldn't get away now, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Not only that, the main force of the New Second Brigade is now tightly entangled in the Jiuling Mountain area by the Japanese army, and the situation is very critical.
That morning, the Japanese army launched three consecutive attacks on the position of the New Second Brigade. The New Second Brigade paid a heavy price and repelled the Japanese army.
[To be honest, I’ve been using @ lately
Draft a telegram and send it to Brother Dalong. "
Kong Jie was not the first person to think of asking Xu Dalong for help.
Ding Wei is smart, he has been thinking about it for a long time. Shortly before Kong Jie and Wang Zhengwei sent the telegram, Xu Dalong had received a telegram from Ding Wei, saying that they were blocking the Japanese army and hoped that he could send the air force to support them.
Without saying a word, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Zhao Gang, asking him to organize the air force to go to the Seventh Army Division to support Ding Wei's troops in combat.
After receiving Kong Jie's telegram, he also sent a telegram to Zhao Gang, asking him to send some bombers to assist Kong Jie in the battle.
Zhao Gang has already dispatched 16 bombers, and there are still 12 that can be used at home.
Following Xu Dalong's request, he sent a telegram to Kong Jie, asking them to provide specific coordinates, and soon he sent 12 bombers out.
After receiving the telegram from Zhao Gang, Kong Jie said: "Commissioner Wang Zheng, Old Zhao and the others are really interesting. They have sent 12 bombers to support us. Let our people quickly measure the location of the Japanese artillery positions. As long as they can blow up the Japanese Artillery positions, life would be much better."
Wang Zhengwei was very excited and sent his chief of staff to arrange the measurement quickly.
At 11:30 in the morning, the Japs once again launched a fierce attack on the position of the New Second Brigade. This time a large number of artillery was concentrated. The troops they bullied Kong Jie had less artillery and insufficient ammunition, so they simply pushed the artillery position not far from the New Second Brigade position and prepared to attack the New Second Brigade position. Bombarded fiercely to cover the infantry attack.
"Boom, boom, boom." The Japanese artillery began to test fire. The officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade did not have a solid position, and they all lay on the mountain. When encountering enemy shelling in this kind of terrain, there was no place to hide. The mountains were rugged and rocky. The shells exploded among the rocks, producing a large amount of gravel and causing many casualties.
Seeing that the large-scale Japanese artillery bombardment was about to begin, Kong Jie looked anxiously at the sky, hoping that his air force would appear quickly.
The midday sun was very dazzling. Kong Jie looked towards the sky and was blinded by the sunlight.
He put his hands on the arbor and looked for a while, but his arms felt a little sore again. He had to lower his head, rub his eyes, and prepare to look at the sky again. ….
"It's coming, it's coming, our plane is coming." At this moment, some sharp-eyed people saw those little black dots in the sky and couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Soon after, 12 bombers appeared in the sky. The officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade all know that only the Mawushan guerrillas in this area have a flying brigade. When they heard the sound, they knew that their plane was coming, and all the officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade cheered.
The Japanese troops who were preparing to launch an attack at Yamashita also discovered the plane in the sky. They also knew that it was an enemy plane and evacuated urgently.
They fled in confusion, looking for cover, hoping to escape the bombing of enemy planes.
The Japanese can run away, but the cannons on the artillery positions cannot be moved. According to the directions of the Japanese artillery positions sent by Kong Jie, the bombers of the flying group quickly found the Japanese artillery positions, and then began dive bombing.
The officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade could clearly see smoke and dust billowing from the Japanese artillery positions on the mountain. The heavy artillery pieces were like toys, blown to pieces by aerial bombs, and some flew high.
The officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade were very excited and kept shouting.
After blowing up the Japanese artillery positions, the bombers dropped the remaining aerial bombs on the Japanese infantry.
The Japanese troops had just been preparing to launch an attack and had already gathered together. Although they were temporarily evacuated, they could not get far in such a short period of time, so there were Japanese soldiers everywhere.
Aerial bombs kept falling, causing the Japanese to cry and howl, causing heavy casualties.
Kong Jie was very excited when he saw it. He waved his fist and said, "It's so exciting! This is enough for a little devil to drink a pot."
The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain went through this bombardment. Most of the artillery was destroyed and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They had to temporarily stop the attack and go back for lunch.
The Japanese army suspended its offensive, and the New Second Brigade
The officers and soldiers seized the time to repair the fortifications and prepare for the renewed Japanese attack in the afternoon.
However, as a large number of Japanese artillery were destroyed, the officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade felt much less pressure and their morale was higher.
In the operations room of the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters, the commander and chief of staff kept track of the changes in the entire battlefield situation.
The base area of the Taiyue Military Region was attacked by Japanese troops from almost all sides. The scope of the base area continued to shrink, and the enemy situation became more and more serious.
The commander is an experienced general. He knows that in order to break the enemy's siege, he must concentrate his forces and first defeat the enemy along the way. However, under the current circumstances, it is not easy to concentrate troops. Troops in various military divisions are fighting fierce battles with the Japanese army. How can they mobilize a large number of mobile troops?
Therefore, the commander has been looking forward to the chief of staff rushing over with troops from the Mawushan Military Division for support.
The good news finally came. The troops from the Mawushan Military Region finally entered the base area of the Taiyue Military Region.
The commander asked the chief of staff to seek the opinions of Xu Dalong and others, hoping that they would not rest and go directly into battle. Because the Japanese troops attacking the Taiyue Military Region base area were the strongest ones attacking Kong Jie's New Second Brigade.
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first. As long as the strongest Japanese army can be defeated, the offensive of other Japanese armies will naturally stop. ….
Therefore, he asked Xu Dalong and others to go directly to the defense area of the Sixth Army Division and join forces with Kong Jie to defeat the current Japanese army.
Misfortunes never come singly, good things come in pairs. Kong Jie and Wang Zheng were just happy because the guerrilla flying brigade bombed the Japanese artillery position. A telegram from Xu Dalong came over, saying that the main force of the Mawushan Military Division was heading to the Jiuling Mountain area and asked Kong Jie and the others Entangle the main force of the Japanese army and don't let them run away. When they arrive, the two armies will join forces to surround and annihilate the current main force of the Japanese army.
Kong Jie was very excited and said: "It's great to be able to fight side by side with Brother Dalong and the others again. Now, where are you going, damn little devils?"
He immediately ordered that the good news be conveyed to every commander and soldier, requiring close monitoring of the movements of the Japanese army. Once signs of Japanese army retreat were found, he would immediately launch a charge to entangle the enemy, so that the main force of the Mawushan Army Division could arrive and encircle and annihilate them. Enemy forces create conditions.
When the officers and soldiers heard such inspiring good news, their morale was greatly boosted. They were gearing up, waiting to join the main forces of the Mawushan Military Division to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain.
After Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong and others entered the base area of Taiyue Military Region, based on the intelligence, they immediately divided their troops into three groups.
Li Yunlong led two regiments of the New 1st Brigade, Wang Chengzhu's artillery brigade, and Zhang Dabiao led the other two regiments of the New 1st Brigade, plus the artillery regiment of the military division, to outflank the Japanese army on the left and right flanks. Sun Desheng led the cavalry brigade to directly cut off the Japanese army's retreat.
Xu Dalong took a capable command team from the Mawushan Military Division to Jiuling Mountain to meet with Kong Jie and others.
Kong Jie, Wang Zhengwei and others heard that Xu Dalong was coming and hurriedly came to greet him.
Seeing Xu Dalong, Kong Jie said excitedly: "Brother Dalong, I have been waiting for you. Now, we brothers can fight together again and teach the little devil a lesson."
Wang Zhengwei also came up to greet Xu Dalong warmly and said, "Brother Dalong, how many people are here this time?"
Xu Dalong introduced the strength of the Mawushan Military Division dispatched this time.
Kong Jie said excitedly: "It's great, now not a single little devil can escape."
Xu Dalong inquired about Kong Jie's current enemy situation, informed Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng respectively, adjusted the attack route, and completed the encirclement of the Japanese army.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters War Room.
Seeing the chief of staff return, the commander asked with concern: "Where are Xu Dalong and the others?"
The chief of staff said: "Xu Dalong and others have already gone to support Kong Jie and others."
The commander said: "Very good, the troops in the Mawu Mountain Division are very tenacious in combat. They can march directly for such a long distance without any rest and recuperation."
Fighting is worthy of being the main force of our Taiyue Military Region. "
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Commander, this time I have really seen Xu Dalong and his family. Although these guys are marching long distances, they are all traveling in cars, so they will not be tired at all. After arriving at the battlefield, You can go into battle."
The commander said with emotion: "Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong are really capable. This is the first mechanized unit in our military region, and it is even more mechanized than the Japanese army.
With such a strategic mobile force, the situation on the battlefield can be changed at any time. I believe that after they join Kong Jie's troops, they will be able to defeat the Japanese army in the southeast. "
The chief of staff said: "Commander, I see that Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong have a huge appetite. They should not only defeat the Japanese army there, but also want to completely annihilate the Japanese army."
