With the addition of the three main groups of the Eighth Route Army, the scale of the Yuci Campaign was further upgraded. Since each unit was assisted by the "three major artifacts" produced by Liuzhen, the efficiency of the battle was greatly improved;
In the past, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had to walk around the turrets and bunkers before seeing them. They became decorations in front of the "Mulan" rocket launchers and Wei Yixiao flying thunder cannons. After a few rockets were fired, a turret turned into a living coffin.
The "Iron Bastard" was also having difficulty, being beaten by the Eighth Route Army's "Mulan" so hard that he didn't even dare to leave his nest.
The firepower output of the division's artillery regiment is even more terrifying, with a total of 20 107mm 6-barrel rocket launchers, 24 Weiyixiao cannons, and 16 75mm howitzers;
This is not an artillery regiment, it's not an artillery brigade!
With these trump cards in hand, Lao Liu is confident enough to fight offensively;
In the past, one brigade was almost the limit, but now even if a Japanese division dares to enter the base area, he dares to push back. Man, with cannons, you will have confidence!
At the 129th Division Headquarters, the phone rang. Old Liu picked up the phone out of habit. The voice from the other side was the voice of Cheng Huazi of the 772nd Regiment:
"Commander, the Yamashiro Battalion has been completely wiped out by our 772nd Regiment. The Wei Yixiao cannon explosive packs are almost exhausted. You can replenish me with 100 more, and Hua Mulan cannon shells with 50 more."
When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately became unhappy and laughed and cursed:
"You blind man Cheng, how dare you open your mouth like a lion? The Yamashiro Battalion has long been reduced to nothing by Wei Shenpao. To encircle and annihilate such a disabled unit, how dare you ask for 100 explosive packs?
You think I'm a magician, right? I'll give you 50 of them. After eating the Yamashiro Brigade, you can continue to assist the brothers in encircling and annihilating the 18th Brigade Headquarters. If a Japanese escapes, don't ask me for explosives in the future. "
"Commander, if you want to give me twenty more explosive bags, I will chop off the head of Major General Machida of the 18th Brigade and bring it over to you as a chamber pot."
"Cheng Cheng, how come you have the same moral character as that boy Li Tiejun? They are bargaining for more, trying to get more;
I will give you all the explosive packs and rockets you want. The 18th Brigade must be annihilated as soon as possible!
Chuxiong is still surrounded by a Japanese division, it's up to you. "
"Bang!"
Cheng Xiazi had hung up the phone and went off to chase and annihilate the Japanese in a hurry. Brother Chu couldn't let anything go wrong. They would still count on him if they were richer in the future.
Lao Liu was confused on the spot, turned around and said to the political commissar:
"This kid has grown so capable that he even dared to give up my phone number. I need to treat him well after this battle is over."
The political commissar couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then said:
"Old man, Cheng Xiazi is worried about Chu Xiong's safety, and is afraid that there will be no wealthy people to fight against in the future;
Not only him, but also Li Tiejun, He Wei and others, when they heard that Chu Xiong was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, they tried their best to fight against the Japanese soldiers;
I can't wait to go to Fuhu Town right away. It seems that Chu Xiong's popularity is not generally good. "
Old Liu nodded and said:
"Chu Xiong is a good comrade. With his selfless assistance in the past few years, the combat effectiveness of our 129th Division, including Lao Chen's 81st Division, has improved a little. It is normal for everyone to think of him well;
It was Lao Nie. As soon as he heard that Chu Xiong was in danger, he led 10 regiments to kill him!
Lao He, who was far away in northwest Shanxi, also sent 8 regiments to flank Taiyuan to contain Xiao Zhuoyi's independent second brigade and prevent him from sending more troops to the Yuci battlefield.
This time he is a brigade commander, but he has mobilized several of our division commanders. Xiao Zhuoyi'nan is dueling with our entire Eighth Route Army. "
The political commissar put away his smile and said:
"A journey can tell a horse's power, but time can tell a person's heart. Comrade Chu Xiong is a true Bolshevik. What he has done for the Eighth Route Army and the common people in the past few years is obvious to all;
This time, in order to cripple the mobile corps in the hands of Xiao Zhuoyi, they went deep into dangerous areas and acted as bait. This senseless selfless spirit is worth learning.
After crippled the tens of thousands of Japanese mobile troops, Xiao Zhuoyi was unable to launch a raid on the Eighth Route Army base area within half a year. How many fewer soldiers and civilians would have to die in the base area? "
Lao Liu also nodded deeply and said:
"Fight with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. In this battle, we are going to fight for peace in the base area for at least half a year. Even if we have to pay a sufficient price, it is worth it. It is better to fight this battle in the devil's security area than in ours." Fight in base areas.
In a decisive battle with the Japanese on the outside, the lives and property of the people in the base area will be much less lost. This strategic idea must be learned and carried forward in the future. "
In the east of Nie City, see the defensive position of the Chengwu Detachment
It also corresponds to that sentence, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river;
One day ago, I saw that the Chengwu detachment was still holding down the Eighth Route Army in Nirvana. Now it was their turn to be held down and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops surrounding them happened to be the troops of the 81st Division.
It’s not that I won’t report it, the time has not yet come!
"Mr. Fengmu, the Eighth Route Army opposite us is another powerful force of the 81st Division - the 81st Brigade. The brigade commander, Monk Xu, studied under Shaolin in China and is also a martial arts master;
Chu Xiong has also studied with Wudang disciples. He is half a Wudang disciple and is said to be a martial arts master!
The two had a duel together six months ago, which caused a sensation in China and became a legend. "
After hearing this, Colonel Minegi said disdainfully:
"Chinese martial arts are just fancy fists and embroidered legs, which are nothing compared to the Japanese swordsmanship!
Now is the era of hot weapons, and the era of samurai is gone forever. Do Chu Xiong and Monk Xu really think they are medieval samurai?
Can such a barbarian win a modern war? After a while, Monk Xu's troops won't be like the Boxers a few decades ago, holding up swords and spears, shouting that they are invulnerable and charging towards the imperial army, right? "
The words of Colonel Mineki caused the two of them to laugh. In their opinion, what kind of battle would a Shaolin monk fight?
At the 81st Division headquarters, Lao Chen and Xu Monk, whom the Japanese despised, were making final arrangements. As expected, the main offensive task was handed over to Xu Monk's 81st Brigade;
The artillery regiment of the division headquarters provides fire support for the 81st Brigade, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd regiments directly under the division serve as reserve regiments.
"Monk Xu, the Japanese planes have been circling around. My artillery regiment can only provide you with fire support for 15 minutes. After the attack, it must be moved. The rest will be left to your brigade;
This 35th Division, despite the fact that there are more than 8,000 people, is just an empty frame. It has already been crippled once by Chu Xiong;
Many soldiers were scared out of their wits. Such a unit had no combat effectiveness at all, so they had to be quick and not give the Japanese planes time to react. "
"Commander, don't worry. With the fire support of the division's artillery regiment, if we still can't fight well, we will be ashamed of Brother Chu for causing so many treasures!"
Lao Chen nodded and said:
"Now let's check the watch. At 13:17, the artillery bombardment will be launched on time at 13:30, and at 13:45, the infantry will launch the general attack;
The Japanese plane has just returned, and we still have at least an hour. Once the Japanese plane appears, we must get involved with the Japanese and make them use the enemy's weapons.
Okay, you can go down and get ready! "
