On the Qiaogou battlefield, the extremely fierce and loud sounds of gunfire and gunfire blended together, like a grand and majestic symphony of destiny, echoing in the valley and resounding between heaven and earth.
Cries of death and wails of pain blended into the scene. The most ferocious and powerful human armed violence groups were colliding with each other. One side was attacking, the other was defending, and both sides were fighting crazily. This was a more ferocious and intense war than in history.
At the mountain top division headquarters, the middle-aged man, who was the supreme commander of the battlefield, held the optical telescope tightly with both hands and focused on the Ranzhuang area ahead through the lens.
Today, the battlefield situation has undergone tremendous changes. As the Japanese troops in the Xiaozhai Village area broke through the main ambush area of the 686th Regiment and merged with the Japanese troops in Ranzhuang at the forefront, the entire battlefield was divided into two and became two main combat areas. Ranzhuang —Caijiayu.
The Ranzhuang area has the largest number of Japanese troops, close to 1,700 people. The Japanese army is in an offensive and breakout situation, while the 685th Regiment is on active defense, establishing a road fire blockade, taking advantage of long-range firepower, and cooperating with the 1st Battalion of the 686th Regiment to continuously encroach on the Japanese troops in Ranzhuang. Vigorous.
Whether the Japanese army attacks the 685th Regiment's position or uses the highway to break through, they will pay an extremely heavy price. As for cowering in place and passively defending, sorry, the mortar company directly under the 685th Regiment is not a vegetarian.
The combat order received by the 685th Regiment was very simple. It did not seek to completely annihilate the Japanese army, but only sought to maximize the destruction of the Japanese army's effective strength.
The Japanese troops in Caijiayu were about 1,400 strong. The main force of the 686th Regiment, the divisional mortar battalion and the 687th Regiment were outflanking them. They still used the advantage of artillery fire to approach step by step, constantly eroding the effective strength of the Japanese troops in Caijiayu and destroying their supplies and vehicles.
For the two Japanese troops in Ranzhuang and Caijiayu, the current battle situation is extremely uncomfortable. They are divided in the middle and cannot move forward or backward. They can only passively take the beating.
In a sense, the Qiaogou ambush battle has evolved into a unilateral massacre of Japanese reinforcements by the 115th Division. The difference is only in the efficiency and time of the massacre.
"The Caijiayu area has entered the final stage. All Japanese cars and baggage vehicles have been destroyed. The remaining Japanese troops are less than a thousand. They can eat up the Caijiayu Japanese army in two hours at most." A gentle and magnetic voice came out, and the chief of staff of the division stood on Beside you, report the latest battlefield situation.
"Two hours..." The middle-aged man looked away when he heard this, smiled and shook his head, and asked with concern: "How are the casualties of our troops in Caijiayu so far?"
"Ninety people died, and 30 people were seriously injured. Minor injuries have not yet been counted," the chief of staff said.
"One hundred and twenty casualties are acceptable, but the Japanese army will not give us two hours. If nothing else happens, the Japanese aircraft will be here soon."
The middle-aged man sighed slowly and turned to look at the battle situation in the Ranzhuang area. The 685th Regiment's formation was very stable after switching from active attack to active defense. There was no need to worry about it. He nodded with satisfaction and turned to the right position. On the Laoyemiao Highlands, yellow figures like ants came into view: "Old man, how many Japanese troops do you think have been on the Laoyemiao Highlands?"
"I estimate two to three hundred, with more to come." Hearing these words, the chief of staff raised his optical telescope to look at the Laoye Temple Highlands, pondered for a moment, and gave the estimated number.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Then wait a little longer."
"Report to the division commander, there is an urgent message from headquarters." At this moment, the communications staff officer arrived and stood at attention to report and submit the top-secret message.
"Interesting, the little devil is not only anxious, but also so anxious that he almost loses his mind. Look, I said the little devil won't give us 2 hours." The middle-aged man took the top-secret message from the headquarters, read it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh. , and handed the message to the chief of staff.
"Hiss... crazy, the kid is really crazy. There are two batches of aircraft support. The first batch is four Type 95 fighters, the second batch is 9 Type 93 bombers, plus an independent brigade of Tojo Hideki. Regiment, the reinforcements have reached 16,000 people." The chief of staff took advantage of the situation to catch the telegram, browsed the content, with a look of horror on his face, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
crazy!
This top-secret message from the headquarters all revealed the unabashed madness of the Japanese troops in Shanxi.
The Japanese army's intention is very simple. They will reinforce Qiaogou at all costs and rescue the troops of the 21st Brigade who were ambushed.
There were a total of 16,000 Japanese troops, and the reinforcements were so exaggerated that it made people feel frightened.
If we look back at friendly forces...
reinforce?
Don't even think about it.
The middle-aged man was calm and calm, turning a blind eye to the overwhelming Japanese reinforcements and said, "Talk about what you think."
"The external situation on the battlefield no longer allows us to continue fighting, and we are unable to complete the combat goal of annihilating the Japanese army within three hours. My opinion is to execute the headquarters order and evacuate proactively." The chief of staff remained calm, thinking After careful comparison and thinking, he said: "We now have a big advantage. The Japanese casualties are roughly estimated to be about two thousand."
Three hours, this is a critical time point.
The 115th Division can resist two batches of Japanese aircraft support head-on, but if the 21st Brigade cannot be completely wiped out within three hours, then the Japanese First Support Corps will arrive at the Qiaogou battlefield and change the situation of the battle.
Can it be done?
Of course not.
Regardless of the fact that the two groups of Japanese troops in Ranzhuang and Caijiayu were being beaten unilaterally, in fact, it would take at least 6 hours to achieve the goal of total annihilation, with about a thousand casualties.
Friendly forces have not yet arrived, but Japanese reinforcements are approaching. The external situation on the battlefield is not conducive to the 115th Division fighting alone. If it insists on fighting, it will only increase the casualties of the troops and will not change the final result.
"Shu Zi, lack of wisdom and strategy."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly when he heard the words, looked at the Pingxing Pass in the distance on the left, sighed deeply, his face changed, and then issued orders one after another as the supreme commander of the battlefield: "Then withdraw, order the troops to follow the instructions on the 3rd Plan for an orderly evacuation. In addition, notify the mortar battalion to shoot out all the shells as quickly as possible without leaving a single shell."
"The engineer battalion is ready to begin finishing work."
If it weren't for this group of friendly forces, how could the battle situation, which could have completely wiped out the reinforcements of the Japanese 21st Brigade, turn into what it is now?
Cooperation and cooperation, no cooperation and no cooperation.
A decisive battle, a decisive battle, a decisive battle without a fight.
It was clear that they only needed to send reinforcements and cooperate with each other to capture the Japanese reinforcements, but in the end, they didn't even want to talk about the military exploits they were talking about, so they just stayed and watched.
This kind of so-called friendly army is really hard to find in eight lifetimes.
The order was quickly passed down. Soon, the attacking troops of Ranzhuang and Caijiayu received a retreat order from the entire battlefield command center. Although they were confused, they still strictly implemented the order and began to change from active attack to active retreat. .
All units of the 115th Division, which had the initiative on the battlefield, were in a state of being able to advance or retreat. The Japanese troops who were attacking were defeated steadily, and the Japanese troops who were retreating did not dare to pursue them.
"Hahaha, fight, let me take aim at the little devil and hit him hard! Fire all the shells, not a single one left! The whole battalion fires quickly!" Zhao Zhangcheng, who had received the latest order from the mountain ridge area on the right side of Caijiayu, entered immediately In a state of chicken blood, he shouted excitedly and excitedly at the artillery soldiers.
What is the happiest thing for an artilleryman?
Fuck.
What's more fun than having sex?
Of course, two shots.
So what's more fun than having a couple of shots?
There is no doubt, open fire with all your strength and use up all the shells!
You must know that Zhao Zhangcheng cannot give an order to light up the artillery shells. He can only execute it with an order from the division headquarters. Now, this order has come.
In an instant, the newly constructed artillery position seemed to be filled with the joy of the New Year. After a brief pause, all the artillery soldiers were infected by Zhao Zhangcheng. They were as excited as if they were infected with chicken fever. They frantically dismantled the remaining ammunition boxes and took out the shells. Carry out loading.
The whole camp cums quickly!
In the sky, steel cannonballs suddenly appeared all over the sky. The cherry blossoms fell at a speed of 5cm per second, and the mortars and Japanese soldiers hugged each other at a speed of 134m per second.
The picture is stunningly beautiful and romantic.
This is a romance that only belongs to the soldiers of the mortar battalion. This is a romance that only belongs to the elites of the Long March.
