"Division commander, it's noon."
Looking up at the sun above his head, a staff officer said to Takeda Senju: "Let's replace the offensive troops."
The troops of the 41st Division, the 10th Brigade, the 14th Brigade and the 16th Brigade did not all rush forward, but were divided into two parts and fought in turns.
The first part of the battle lasted all morning. Although it was very brave, the soldiers' physical strength was also very exhausted.
"Yeah." Takeda Chiju hummed.
Soon, the Japanese offensive troops were replaced by the other half of the troops who had rested all morning.
Although the artillery cover was gone, the combat effectiveness of this half of the army took on a new look.
The new half of the team was replaced and the battle lasted for more than an hour. The 45th Division was defeated.
"Replace the 45th Division with the 67th Division." Bo Zuoyi tried hard not to let his emotions fluctuate.
Although it was predicted in advance that tens of thousands of people might be killed or injured by forcefully stopping the Japanese.
But at this moment, looking at the two defeated divisions, Bo Zuoyi still couldn't bear the pain in his heart.
"Yes." The staff officer went to deliver the order.
"If you don't leave, we won't leave. We will fight side by side with the 67th Division."
"I will continue to fight against the little devil."
"Our master is seriously injured and unconscious. What qualifications do I have to withdraw?"
"I won't listen to anyone without orders from Master. I will continue to fight against the little devil!"
…
There are only two to three hundred men left in the 45th Division, and most of them are wounded.
When the 67th Division came up, these soldiers were unwilling to withdraw and wanted to continue fighting.
The people of the 67th Division did not stop them, and the injured soldiers who could not move were carried down. Those who could fight continued on the battlefield with the 67th Division.
On the battlefield, the Japanese artillery was completely silent.
With their strong fighting power, their soldiers continued to attack the 67th Division's positions.
The situation of the 67th Division was the same as that of the previous two divisions. Under the crazy Japanese attack, casualties surged and the positions were constantly torn open.
"Pass my order and order the troops on the encirclement line to divide into a regiment each to reinforce the 67th Division." Bo Zuoyi carefully observed the situation on the Japanese side through the telescope and told the staff.
The Japanese army divided the troops into two parts, one part fought and the other part recuperated.
This forced Bo Zuoyi to be on guard, as the Japanese army might break out from elsewhere.
For example, the Japanese army attacked the 39th Division. The 39th Division was destroyed, and the 45th Division was advanced. The 45th Division was destroyed, and the 67th Division was advanced.
Under such circumstances, Bo Zuoyi could only send reserve troops to attack, instead of randomly dispatching other troops on the encirclement line for reinforcements.
Because once the other troops on the encirclement line are divided, the defense of the encirclement here will be weak. If the other half of the Japanese troops take the opportunity to attack from the weak point, they can easily penetrate the encirclement.
Now, the Japanese have replaced the troops who fought in the morning. They are a tired army. The remaining half are also fighting with the 67th Division. It seems that the Japanese will not break out from other directions for the time being.
The 45th Division and the 39th Division are basically gone, and the 67th Division cannot be lost again.
The 67th Division was gone, the reserve team was gone, and the Japanese just rushed out.
Therefore, at this time, troops can be mobilized from the encirclement line to reinforce the 67th Division.
"Yes." The staff officer quickly went to deliver the order.
The 67th Division could no longer hold on, and reinforcements on the encirclement line arrived.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they relied on their powerful firepower to block the Japanese attack head-on.
Under the constant battle of attrition, the Japanese soldiers finally ran out of ammunition.
Without the support of ammunition, the accuracy of the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship and artillery fire were meaningless, and their combat effectiveness immediately showed a cliff-like decline.
No matter how skilled the Japanese soldiers are at bayonet fighting, they still have to get close to have a chance.
The newly arrived Jinsui Army reinforcements organized a fire wall with their powerful firepower.
No matter how the Japanese soldiers charge, they can only keep piling up corpses here and can no longer move forward.
"Commander Bo, it's blocked. The Japanese are finally blocked." Seeing that the Japanese soldiers could no longer move forward, the staff officer finally stopped trembling in his tone.
"Pass my order, leave two regiments of reinforcements with the 67th Division, and the other reinforcements will quickly return to the defense." Bo Zuoyi was very calm.
Now, the Japanese soldiers are out of ammunition, so they only need to use firepower to suppress them.
But it is also necessary to prevent the other half of the Japanese soldiers from breaking through from other directions, even if the opponent's ammunition is exhausted, they still have to guard against it.
"Yes." The staff officer quickly went to deliver the order.
"Baga, this is impossible, this is impossible!" Seeing that the troops' attack was blocked, Takeda Chiju jumped to his feet.
It goes without saying what it means when the troops' attack is blocked.
"Division Commander, the main reason is that the troops have run out of ammunition." The staff officer also looked very unwilling.
Although the Jinsui Army reinforced the 67th Division, it was not important at all.
As long as the emperor's army still has ammunition, it is only a matter of time before it breaks through the opponent's encirclement.
But now, there is not much ammunition left, and it is difficult to fight out.
The expected high-spiritedness has turned into what it is now, and no one is willing to accept it.
Who can accept that his former defeated general will now sit on his neck and shit on him?
"Attack, let me continue the attack!" Unwilling to accept it, Takeda Chiju continued to order the Japanese soldiers to attack.
The Japanese howled and continued to charge and attack.
But the Japanese soldiers without ammunition are just like grass and beasts without tusks.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The light and heavy machine guns of the Jinsui Army, combined with artillery, beat the charging Japanese soldiers hard.
Countless Japanese soldiers fell, and the Japanese charging formation was quickly torn apart. Even if the Japanese soldiers had the spirit of Bushido in their hearts, the Japanese soldiers were quickly reduced in number, but the Bushido spirit could not provide any ammunition to the Japanese soldiers.
Finally, the Japanese soldiers abandoned a large number of corpses and were beaten back.
"Hahaha, little devil, keep rushing, why don't you stop?"
"Little devils, your grandpa and I are waiting for you here. Come over if you feel like it."
"Little devil, you too have today."
"Little devil, don't be a coward, come up here!"
…
Seeing that the soldiers of the Jinsui Army had killed the little Japs back, their morale immediately soared and they all started shouting.
"Commander Bo, the Japs have no ammunition. We just need to trap them and win without a fight." Seeing the Japs soldiers being killed and sent back, the troops cheered, and the staff officer became excited.
Bo Zuoyi looked up at the setting sun and said: "Pass my order, attack across the board, and seize the time to eliminate the Japanese."
When the staff officer heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
The Japanese have no ammunition and are trapped.
Next, we only need to encircle but not attack, and we can win without fighting. Why rush over and fight the Japanese? Doesn't this increase the casualties of the troops?
"The Japs have no ammunition, so they are just tigers with their teeth pulled out." Bozuoyi looked solemn, "But a tiger with teeth pulled out is still a tiger. They will definitely send a message to Yoshio Shinozuka immediately. If Yoshio Shinozuka gives Without their support and making their teeth sharp again, we may lose the chance to completely eliminate them."
Ten thousand Japanese soldiers under the command of Hiratani Daxiong were besieged, and Yoshio Shinozuka even applied for several transport aircraft for support.
This time, Takeda Chiju has even more Japs in his hands. If Shinozuka Yoshio knows about it, he will definitely seek help from Okamura Jining.
Gangcun Cining's side will definitely not ignore death. Once the Japanese transport plane airdrops ammunition, it will not be good.
Now, it is getting dark, and the Jinsui Army has one night to seize the opportunity to clean up the little devils.
Otherwise, if Gangcun Cining airdrops ammunition at dawn tomorrow, it will be too late.
"Commander Bo, do you think the Japanese might send planes to support you?" The staff officer looked at Bo Zuoyi, "This is unlikely. The last time Pinggu Daxiong was..."
"No matter how big or small, one thing is certain. Our soldiers have guns and ammunition in their hands. If they fight the Japanese soldiers without ammunition, it is like adults beating children. This is a God-given opportunity to eliminate the Japanese soldiers." Hirosaku Yi Dao said, "Yes, I admit that if I push all the troops up, even if I can eliminate all the Japs, I'm afraid there will be some casualties. But I think these casualties are worth it. Because our Jinsui Army once avoided During the war, many soldiers are afraid of the Japanese soldiers. Now letting the large forces destroy the Japanese soldiers can make the soldiers no longer afraid of the Japanese soldiers."
"Commander Bo, you are right." The staff officer stopped talking and immediately went to deliver the order.
With Bo Zuoyi's order, the Jinsui officers and soldiers on the encirclement line immediately crawled out of the trenches and pounced on the Japanese troops in the middle of the encirclement like locusts.
Fire clouds burned the sky red. The officers and soldiers of Shanxi-Suiyuan were covered with bright red sunset, their morale was like a rainbow, and they rushed to charge:
"Kill!"
"Come on, you little Jaeguang!"
"Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come, make him a little devil!"
"Fuck him, little devil, come on!"
…
Seeing that the Jinsui Army immediately launched a full-scale attack, Takeda Chiju was instantly confused: "Baga, isn't this Jinsui Army going to besiege us for several days and then win without a fight?"
"Baga, the Jinsui Army is trying to avoid long nights and dreams. It is eager to eliminate us."
"Damn Jinsui Army, they are bullying us and we have no ammunition."
"Baga, it's so abominable!"
…
When the Japanese officers around Takeda Chiju saw this, they all went crazy.
This once defeated general now took advantage of the Emperor's army's ammunition to run out and rushed over. This was his trump card.
They surrounded us from all directions, but at least they allowed us to live a few more days.
The Jinsui Army, on the other hand, was eager to eliminate them and refused to even give them a night.
"Quick, quick, quick, send power to the headquarters immediately and call for support." A Japanese officer hurriedly shouted at the radio soldier.
Although it was going to be dark soon, even if General Yoshio Shinozuka could borrow an aircraft from Jining Okamura for support, the aircraft would not be able to provide reinforcements in the dark.
The Japanese radio soldiers quickly generated electricity.
Takeda Senju and other Japanese officers could no longer care about anything. The Jinsui Army had already rushed over with a roar.
At this time, all the emperor's army can do is polish their bayonets to face the enemy.
"Kill Gadi!"
Takeda Qianju waved his command sword and ordered the Japanese soldiers to meet the enemy.
Although the Japanese soldiers occupied favorable terrain, they had no ammunition, and the favorable terrain was unable to exert their defensive combat capabilities.
All they could do was charge towards the Jinsui Army with bayonets in hand.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The death squads of the Jinsui Army all held machine guns. The Japanese soldiers who charged up were directly swept away by the death squads' machine guns, falling in pieces like wheat.
"You little devils, you massacred our compatriots, and you too are here today, so go to hell."
The death squads had used up all the machine gun bullets. They abandoned the machine guns, picked up cold weapons and pounced on them.
Behind them were more Jinsui officers and soldiers, all rushing to catch up, for fear that if they were slow, others would kill them.
The once ferocious Japanese soldiers faced such a crazy attack from the Jinsui Army, they were like cabbage being robbed in the vegetable market.
"idiot!"
"Long live!"
"Long live the First Army!"
"Long live the 41st Division!"
…
The Japanese soldiers screamed sadly. They fell down from the detective and were quickly slaughtered and eliminated.
"Old Li, Commander Bo moved very quickly. He didn't even have to surround the Japanese for a few days and directly pressed the large troops up. Do we want to go over and get a share of the pie?" Kong Jie from behind saw the Jinsui Army launching a full-scale attack. , turned to ask Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong waved his hands and said: "Forget it, the Japanese soldiers without ammunition are just sheep with fire sticks. Let's not join in the fun."
In the past, the New Regiment caused Pinggu Daxiong to lose its supplies and food, but did not pounce immediately. That was because the New Regiment's capital was not large enough and they were worried about increasing troop casualties, so they could only slowly consume Pinggu Daxiong.
At present, Bo Zuoyi's situation is different.
Hirosakugi has sufficient troops and large enough capital, so he can take advantage of Takeda Senju's food and supplies to go head-to-head with Takeda Senju.
Of course, the cost of fighting head-on was also high, with at least three divisions suffering casualties.
The Jinsui Army suffered so many casualties, so why should we join in and fight for their heads? This is not the case... The Japanese soldiers tried their best to destroy the bolt parts of their guns before fighting with the bayonets, and it is not right for us to fight against the Jinsui Army for a bunch of rags. Lao Li's style.
Okay, no more nonsense.
The main reason is that our new group has a small number of people and cannot capture the Jinsui Army, so we will not join in the fun.
"The Jinsui Army has made a fortune, so what are we going to do next?" Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong.
According to the original plan, the Jinsui Army besieged Takeda Senju, and Shinozuka Yoshio gave reinforcements to Takeda Senju. The new regiment and the independent regiment had the opportunity to intercept the reinforcements.
Now Hirosakugi is going to kill Takeda Senju directly, and this support is still a piece of cake.
"Kong Er, don't worry." Li Yunlong was very calm, "Once Takeda Senju is wiped out, Hiroshi will definitely turn around immediately to reinforce those six battlefields. Once the Japanese traitors in the six battlefields are wiped out, do you think Hiroshi will stop? "
"You mean, the Jinsui Army will definitely make a big fuss by then?" Kong Jie thought thoughtfully.
Once Takeda Senju was destroyed, the Japs and traitors in the six battlefields were also wiped out. The Japs' strength in northwestern Shanxi fell to the extreme. Harvesting the oil and water in northwestern Shanxi would be a waste. I am afraid that the Jinsui Army will not give up this opportunity easily. .
Of course, if there is chaos in northwestern Shanxi, the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment can also take advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters.
"That's for sure." Li Yunlong said, "Kong Er is stupid, let's hurry up and leave now, hide and rest first, and then..."
Kong Jie was puzzled: "Why should we hide? After Hiroshi killed Takeda Senju, he..."
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, Li Yunlong interrupted: "You are stupid, have you forgotten what we just did?"
"What did we just do?" Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong in confusion, "What didn't we do?"
"We robbed the arsenal of the Jinsui Army." Li Yunlong said, "Once Lao Yan learns that Bo Zuoyi has eliminated Takeda Senju, the first thing he will do is probably ask Bo Zuoyi to send people to find the robbed machine tools. You said that if people find it..."
"Li Yunlong, let me say it first. You did this and it has nothing to do with me!" Kong Jie immediately clarified the relationship with Li Yunlong again.
Indeed, the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment must immediately go into hiding.
Otherwise, when Bo Zuoyi's people find out that the machine tool has been robbed by the new group, they will definitely come to ask for it.
"Li Yunlong, if we hide, how can we get rich later?" Kong Jie asked again.
"Why can't we get rich? Let's get out of the way first." Li Yunlong was very calm.
In this way, while Bo Zuoyi wasted no time in destroying the remaining enemies, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led their troops to seize the opportunity and disappeared.
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"General, general, general..."
Moriyama Otani screamed like a slaughtered pig and handed the newly translated battle report to Shinozuka Yoshio.
Shinozuka Yoshio's heart suddenly sank when he saw Moriyama Otani's panicked look.
Last night, the Eighth Route Army's new regiment destroyed Takeda Chiju's baggage supplies.
During the day, Takeda Senju will go all out to break out.
Now that Moriyama Otani is losing his composure, could it be that Chiju Takeda didn't break out?
Yoshio Shinozuka quickly grabbed the telegram and took a look. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned and his mind went blank.
Looking at the handwriting on the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka said: "This, this, this, this..."
Yoshio Shinozuka instantly lost his ability to organize his speech. He thought it was Chiju Takeda who didn't break out.
Unexpectedly, the situation was worse than he imagined.
Not only did Takeda Senju fail to break out, but the large forces of the Jinsui Army also seized the time to launch a full-scale attack.
The emperor's army, which had no ammunition, had now become lambs to be slaughtered and was being slaughtered crazily.
Chiju Takeda asked Yoshio Shinozuka to send support immediately.
In this situation, I can have Mao's support.
The road is blocked by heavy snow, and even mechanized troops cannot drive through it all at once.
It was already evening, and even if the planes of the First Army were still there, it was impossible to force reinforcements in the dark.
In one night, the Jinsui Army was enough to wipe out Takeda Senju's army two or three times.
"General, general, what should we do? What should we do?" Moriyama Otani asked Shinozuka Yoshio in a panic.
"This, this, this, no...can't..." Yoshio Shinozuka, who could not bear such a huge blow, passed out without even finishing his words.
"General, General, General." Moriyama Otani quickly supported Yoshio Shinozuka, pinching the man, and shouted: "Call the military doctor quickly, the general has fainted, call the military doctor quickly!"
