At this time, in the station, the armies of the two sides were strangled together, and it was difficult to distinguish each other.The Japanese bombing just now, because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, did not dare to bomb the station, so the Eighth Route Army's attack on the station was not affected by the devil's bombing.Li Guotao also raised the telescope again to observe, then put down the telescope, and said with a serious face: "Immediately order the newly formed Second Brigade to send a force to attack the station from the southwest, and be sure to take the station as soon as possible." ”"Yes," a communications soldier next to him replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.The order was quickly conveyed, the loud charge horn sounded again, and in the southwest of the station, more than a thousand soldiers of the Eighth Route Army roared loudly, holding the steel guns in their hands, and rushed towards the station desperately.At this time, under the fierce offensive of the new 1st Regiment, the little devils in the station had suffered heavy losses, and now the 2nd Brigade of the new formation sent another unit to attack from the southwest, which accelerated the speed of the defeat of the Japanese army.The fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the little devils in the station had been basically annihilated, and the Eighth Route Army successfully captured Shuozhou Station.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send orders to all troops to prepare to launch an attack on Shuozhou City." ”"Yes" A soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order.In the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shuozhou City, Nagashima Osa was furious, smashed everything that could be smashed at hand, and scolded angrily: "These damn dirt roads of Baga Road, my conscience is greatly broken. ”At this time, a devil officer hurriedly ran in, lowered his head and said cautiously: "Report Your Excellency Dazuo has just received a report from the front line that the station has been lost, and all the imperial troops guarding the station have been shattered. ”"Nani" Nagashima Osa couldn't help but widen his eyes, with an expression of disbelief, and muttered to himself in despair: "How could it be so fast, how could that person capture the station so quickly, didn't he already ask for reinforcement from the Army Airlines, where are the fighters of the Imperial Japanese Army?"
"Report Your Excellency Osa The fighters of the Imperial Army just arrived to support, but they were attacked by the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army, losing nine bombers, and the bombing effect was not obvious, and it did not contain the offensive of the Eighth Route Army. ”A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied."
Baga" Nagashima Dazuo was suddenly furious, and scolded loudly with a hideous face: "A group of waste, all of them are rice buckets" "Your Excellency Dazuo is angry" The devil officer hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency the Commander has sent the Independent Third Mixed Brigade from Taiyuan to the north to support Shuozhou, and the 32nd Division has also set out from Datong to support the south, as long as we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, we can not only successfully defeat these hateful Tubalu, but even take the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”"Yo Xi" Nagashima Osa heard this, his face became a little better, and he nodded and said, "No matter what, you must hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
Ordered all troops to shrink all troops into the city, use the city fortifications, strictly defend to the death, and absolutely not allow the Eighth Route Army to enter the city. ”Several devil officers at the scene of "Hai" responded in unison.After our army captured Shuozhou Station, Li Guotao and Political Commissar Meng also left the front line and returned to the front line headquarters.Chief of Staff Ma Zhenguo pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "At present, the main force of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army in Datong has left Datong and is heading south to support Shuozhou, but because the railways along the way have been destroyed, the little devil can only choose to take the road.The troops of the 120th Division and the local troops also destroyed a large number of roads and planted a large number of minefields along the way to stop the devils, but this only slowed down the devils' march. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded noncommittally, frowned and asked: "What about the Japanese army on the Taiyuan side" "On the Taiyuan side, the Japanese army has dispatched the independent third mixed brigade to urgently support Shuozhou, and at present, this little devil has left Taiyuan and headed north.However, Taiyuan is still far from Shuozhou, and the railway and highway networks along the way have been completely destroyed, and our army will try to block them along the way to slow down the speed of the devils.Therefore, the Japanese troops in the Taiyuan direction posed no threat to us for the time being, mainly the Japanese 32nd Division in the north. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a serious face.Li Guotao nodded and said: "Well, what you said makes sense, even if this independent third mixed brigade can rush to the vicinity of Shuozhou in time, there is a new fourth brigade in the south to block it, and it shouldn't be a problem to block this little devil."
The most tricky thing now is this 32nd Division, which is the strength of an integrated division, and although the combat effectiveness of the newly formed 3rd Brigade is strong, it is not easy to completely block this little devil, so we must speed up the progress and capture Shuozhou as soon as possible. ”"I really can't imagine that Tada Jun, the old devil, really sent the 32nd Division to support Shuozhou, so that Datong will only have an independent ninth mixed brigade left, if the Sixth Column can unite with the 35th Army and other departments to launch an attack on Datong, it can also effectively contain this little devil."
Political Commissar Meng said with a frown.Li Guotao nodded and said: "The headquarters is stepping up communication with the Eighth War Zone, but it is not enough to say that this matter will not succeed, after all, the relationship between the two parties is quite delicate now."
If only the six verticals are relied upon, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose a substantial threat to Datong.Therefore, we must not pin all our hopes on others, and we have to rely on ourselves to do everything. ”"Well, what Guotao said makes sense, everything has to rely on us."
Political Commissar Meng nodded, his eyes stayed on the location of Yuan Shulin Station marked on the sand table, and said with a serious face: "At present, the new Third Brigade has built a defense line at Yuan Shulin Station, which will also be our last line of defense, and we must take Shuozhou City before the 32nd Division breaks through this defense line." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Immediately telegraph this situation to Lin Feng, let them prepare for battle, if the Japanese army arrives, no matter what, they must block the attack of the little devil." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully, turned around and walked towards the confidential room.Li Guotao glanced at the sand table, frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately order the new First Brigade and the new Second Brigade to prepare for a full-scale attack on Shuozhou City, and strive to break through the Japanese army's city fortifications before it gets dark today." ”"Yes," the two communications staff officers replied in unison, then turned to deliver the order.aa2705221:
