When night fell, the Japanese did not make any movement until early in the morning, when the sound of bugles broke the tranquility of the night;
Immediately afterwards, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing broke out. It seemed that the Japanese were about to launch a major night offensive, and the Eighth Route Army's position was already "in chaos."
In the headquarters of the Central Corps, Chen Hao and Li Qing were playing chess and did not show any signs of panic. The night shift personnel in the headquarters were busy with their work in an orderly manner.
"Old Li, when do you think the Japanese will take action?"
Chen Hao asked curiously, Li Qing shook his head and said:
"The Japs are still using harassment tactics to hide their true purpose. It seems that Old Japs Xiangyue understands our Chinese art of war!
We don't have to guess when he will take action, just be ourselves. "
Chen Hao nodded in agreement and continued to play chess with Li Qing. Everything that should be arranged was arranged, and the rest was left to the commanders at all levels. The two commanders who stayed at the rear could really do what they wanted. not much.
During the Eighth Route Army's operations, the division of labor among commanders at all levels was clear, and the two column commanders could not serve as "micro-operators."
That night, the Japs were engaged in real and deceptive battles all night long. It was not until the sky turned white that the Japs harassed and harassed them.
I have to say that Old Devil Xiangyue is very patient!
During the day of the next day, the Japanese continued to launch attacks, all at the brigade level or even the squadron level. This was not worth mentioning in a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.
On the night of the second day, the Japanese engaged in another night of harassment and harassment. All units of the Eighth Route Army took turns on duty to accompany them.
The Japs' harassment battle lasted for three full days. During these three days, the two sides did not even have a large-scale battle. The old Japs showed enough patience.
However, the Eighth Route Army was obviously tired. It seemed that they no longer took the Japanese harassment seriously. It was time to sleep and rest.
At the Central Corps headquarters, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in and handed Li Qing a message;
After Li Qing read it, he handed it to his son Chen Hao. After Chen Hao read it, the two looked at each other and smiled. Chen Hao said:
"Old Li, it's quieter tonight than usual. You've been harassing us for three days and three nights. This is to prepare us to have a good night's rest. This old devil Xiangyue is quite considerate."
"Old Chen, how can he be considerate? He is paralyzing us. If nothing else, tonight should be the day when they launch a general attack."
Chen Hao said with great agreement:
"If I guessed correctly, the Japs used the big noise caused by these three days of harassment to cover their deployment of troops. This should be preparation. The old Japs are preparing to make a desperate move and complete the victory in one battle!
It's a pity that the surprise Lao Chu prepared for them has also arrived. This is destined to be an unquiet night, and the leading role must be the armored column we have been hiding. "
Li Qing said excitedly:
"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. The focus of our assault this time is also on the northern line. We should cooperate with the 103rd Column that has penetrated behind the Japanese. We will penetrate the Japanese blockade from the front. If we meet head-on, the brave will win!"
As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, the rumbling sound of artillery was faintly heard from the northern front. Chen Hao waved his fist and shouted loudly:
"Listen, the devil is taking action!"
On the northern front, the Japanese secretly mobilized three heavy artillery brigades. Nearly a thousand heavy artillery fired almost at the same time. Thousands of artillery were fired in unison. The old Japanese soldier Xiangyue finally used the big move that he had been holding back for several days;
Since the bombardment parameters have been adjusted before, the Japanese heavy artillery group fires in the pre-calibrated area, so the night does not affect the effect of their bombardment.
The position of Column 101 was covered by dense Japanese artillery fire, and the old Japanese soldier Xiangyue outside the command headquarters was boiling with excitement.
Although he was too far away and could only faintly see some firelight, this did not prevent him from using his big head to make up his mind. He said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Udu, with an intoxicated look on his face:
"Uto-kun, do you see, this is the power of the empire!
Thousands of heavy artillery fire at the same time. This is the luxurious feast I prepared for the Chuxiong Division of the Eighth Route Army. Such a grand occasion is absolutely unique in the Eastern battlefield;
No army can withstand such fierce artillery fire coverage. When the artillery bombardment is over, the warriors of the imperial army can only go up to collect the corpses of the Chinese! "
Yudu was also in a good mood. Seeing that the commander was in a lively conversation, he said jokingly:
"Your Majesty Commander, after tonight, the Central Corps of the Eighth Route Army will become history, and you will also make history!
Since the Tiger of China rose from Hedong, it has won almost every battle, and no one has ever completely wiped out more than one regiment of Chu Xiong's troops;
This time, Your Excellency, you will create a miracle of annihilating the first-level troops of Chu Xiong's regiment. This is absolutely unique in the empire. All the famous generals will be dim in front of you, just like the light of a grain of rice and the light of a bright moon, it is difficult to compete with them. also! "
Both Udu and Xiangyue were familiar with China. They would drop their book bags when they were excited, but Xiangyue was quite useful.
Lieutenant General Udu was right. There are only a handful of generals in the empire who can take advantage of Chu Xiong. The one who can establish an organization and annihilate tens of thousands of people under Chu Xiong is absolutely unique!
After dawn, the name of Xiangyue Qingji will be heard throughout the world, and who else will be the first general in the East?
Thinking of this, he said enthusiastically:
"Udu-kun, it's time to start. Let the warriors collect the corpses of the Chinese people!"
Yudu accepted the order excitedly. No wonder General Xiangyue was full of confidence. In just the past half hour, the Japanese's three heavy artillery brigades and thousands of heavy artillery fired nearly 20,000 heavy artillery shells at the Eighth Route Army's positions!
On average, five people would score one shot. Even the gods couldn't handle this density of firepower.
At the headquarters of the Central Corps of the Eighth Route Army, Li Qing and Chen Hao also praised Xiangyue Qingsi for his generous work. Chen Hao couldn't help but praise Xiangyue Qingsi:
"My dear, this is Xiangyue old devil who is really the master of big things. If we hadn't withdrawn the main force in advance, the 101st Column would have been able to withdraw from the formation after just half an hour of shelling."
Li Qing also echoed:
"Did you hear the roar of the tank group? There will be no less than 300 tanks. This old devil is the master of big things. It's time to surprise the old devil and entertain the devil's bastards!"
After Li Qing finished speaking, he looked at his watch. There was still one minute left before the general attack time agreed with Column 103!
He turned to the communications staff officer standing by and said:
"Commander Liu, send the signal flare, three shots as the signal, fire!"
Tens of seconds later, three red flares appeared in the sky. They happened to be seen by Xiangyue Qingji, and an ominous premonition suddenly filled his heart...
"Bagaya Road, are you working with some conspiracy?"
Perhaps to satisfy Koyuki Kiyoshi's curiosity, more than 60 Wei Shen cannons from the artillery regiment directly under the 103rd column and its subordinate units opened fire almost simultaneously;
Smashing more than 400 rockets at the Japs' heavy artillery positions, they set off a fireworks feast for Xiangyue Lao Japs.
Almost at the same time, on the southern front, cannon shells fired by hundreds of self-propelled artillery flew towards the Japanese tanks, overturning each Japanese tank...
"Bagaya Road..."
"Bagaya Road! I fell into a trap!"
After Xiangyue said this, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his chest without suppressing it...
