Tada Jun sighed helplessly and said: "But if Shuozhou is captured by the Eighth Route Army, the Tongpu Railway will be completely cut off."
At that time, the imperial army of Datong will be surrounded by the Chinese people, without any support and supplies, and it will not last long. ”"At present, the all-out sabotage operation of the Eighth Route Army has destroyed a large number of railways and highways of the imperial army, and the transportation in various places has almost been paralyzed, and most of the imperial troops in various places have been restrained by the Chinese people, and I am afraid that they will not be able to give Shuozhou favorable support in a short period of time."
Yukio Kasahara said helplessly."
So we can only mobilize the imperial army of Datong to support Shuozhou now, but instead of sending the independent 9th Mixed Brigade, we will send the 32nd Division to fully support Shuozhou."
Tada Jun said with a serious face.Kasawara Yukio's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, and he frowned and said: "Your Excellency Commander, isn't this too risky, after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Suiyuan, if they counterattack Datong, I am afraid that they will not be able to guarantee the safety of Datong with only an independent ninth mixed brigade." ”Tada Jun sighed deeply and said: "I have also thought of this, but we have no other choice now, once there is a slight accident in Shuozhou, Datong will be even more dangerous."
The Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade was ordered to shrink its strength and hold on to Datong, even if it could not guarantee that Datong would not be lost, at least it could hold out for a while.As long as it can hold out until the imperial army relieves the siege of Shuozhou, the imperial army can turn the passive into the active and completely turn the tide of the war. ”Although Kasawara Yukio understood in his heart, he was inevitably still a little worried, and said with a frown: "Your Excellency the commander think twice" "I have decided to carry out the order" Tada Jun said with a firm face."
Hai" Yukio Kasahara responded respectfully, turned around and walked to deliver the order.In the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, it was also a busy scene at this time, and the chief of staff pointed to the city defense map of Shuozhou and said: "Everyone, please see, in the north of Shuozhou is the Qili River, and in the southeast is the Hui River.At present, our army has occupied Shilipu and Dongfuyuan according to the plan.According to the original plan, our army will launch an attack on Shuozhou City tomorrow.With the east as the main direction of attack, advance westward along the Qili River and the Hui River, first occupy the Shuozhou station, and then attack the east gate of Shuozhou. ”Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "At present, our troops have rushed to the designated position according to the plan, and the progress is going smoothly, and early tomorrow morning, according to the established plan, we will launch a full-line attack on Shuozhou City." ”"Yes," everyone replied in unison.Early the next morning, the main force of the Seventh Column launched an attack on Shuozhou in accordance with the original plan.The Japanese army in Shuozhou was already small, and a reinforced brigade was eliminated by the new 3rd Brigade before, and the strength was even more empty at this time.In the face of the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, Nagashima had no choice but to further shrink his forces.The Eighth Route Army was like a broken foot all the way to Shuozhou Station.Li Guotao braved the rain of bullets and rushed directly to the front line.Lying in the trench, he held a telescope to observe the situation at the station, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order the artillery brigade, and the artillery battalions under the new 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to concentrate all the firepower to bombard the Shuozhou Station." ”"Yes," a communications soldier next to him replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.It didn't take long for the rumbling sound of artillery from our artillery position, and a dense hail of shells smashed towards the Shuozhou station."
Boom" violent explosions continued to sound, and soon the entire station was plunged into a sea of fire, and the little devils guarding the station suffered heavy losses under the heavy artillery fire of our army."
Brothers, rush me" Gao Jian, the head of the first regiment of the new formation, roared angrily and took the lead in rushing forward.Then the loud horn of the charge sounded, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the newly formed regiment roared loudly, like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, and rushed towards Shuozhou Station.The first regiment of the new regiment was adapted from the original Anguo Independent Regiment, although the number has changed, but the soldiers of the new regiment have not changed, and they still maintain the fine style of fighting bravely and tenaciously.A devil officer in the station staggered up from a bombed house, although he survived, but this devil officer also suffered very badly, blood continued to flow out of the wound, and the clothes on his body were also burned black, like a corpse that had just crawled out of the grave.Although this devil officer was seriously injured, perhaps it was the effect of returning to the light, his consciousness was very clear, looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were approaching in the distance, he raised the command knife in his hand with difficulty, and shouted loudly: "Shoot and kill all these hateful people" After shouting these words, the devil officer had exhausted his last strength and fell to the ground with his head up."
Kill" In the earth-shattering shout, the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had already rushed over.The devil officer was in a trance, and saw that there were constantly soldiers of the Eighth Route Army passing by him, and wanted to get up and resist, but at this time he had no strength, so he could only watch as more and more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army passed in front of him and directly entered the station.Finally, the devil officer's eyes went black, and he completely lost consciousness, ending his life of sin.The little devils who survived in the station, although they resisted desperately, could not stop the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army successfully entered the station with a charge.But the little devil did not give up because of this, and still relied on the bombed houses in the station to resist desperately.A dull gunshot rang out, and behind an end wall in front, a tongue of fire suddenly erupted.Several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed in front were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another, and the Eighth Route Army behind stopped one after another, looked for a hidden place to hide, raised the gun in their hands, and kept shooting, trying to suppress the devil's firepower. ”Damn the grenadier, the machine gun that blew up the devil for Lao Tzu," Gao Jian shouted in annoyance.There were two muffled "knocks", and two grenades rose into the air, cutting a brilliant parabola in the air, and falling towards the back of the broken wall."
Boom" In the violent explosion, the devil's machine gun, along with three or four little devils, was instantly blown into the sky.As soon as the devil's gunfire stopped, Gao Jianke stood up, raised the gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let me continue to rush into the station, kill all the little devils," said and led his soldiers to continue to rush forward and kill.aa2705221:
