Late that night, Li Guotao led the newly formed Second Brigade and other units to rush to the vicinity of the ancient town.When Lin Feng and Guo Lihui heard that Li Guotao had arrived, they hurried to Li Guotao's temporary headquarters."
Commanders" Lin Feng and Guo Lihui respectfully saluted.Li Guotao raised his hand and returned a military salute, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard" At this time, Li Yongfu, who was standing next to Li Guotao, laughed and said to Lin Feng: "Old Lin, you can show your face this time, the soldiers of a brigade are chasing devils, and a division is running around, and I feel excited when I think about it." ”"Haha" Lin Feng said with a smile: "It's not as good as your old Li Ya who recovered Shuozhou in one fell swoop, such a miraculous feat was swallowed by you alone, and my eyes are red with jealousy." ”Li Guotao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to praise each other, let's discuss the matter" As soon as Li Guotao said this, several people immediately quieted down.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "The 32nd Division of the Japanese Army has been surrounded by us, and it can be said that it is impossible to escape.However, we can't be careless, the 32nd Division is surrounded, and the devils will definitely send troops to the rescue, so we must annihilate the 32nd Division in one fell swoop before the devil's reinforcements arrive. ”Lin Feng swore and said: "The current 32nd Division is already at the end of its strong crossbow, we have so many troops, it is not easy to eliminate them. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Yes, the 32nd Division has suffered heavy losses and its combat effectiveness has seriously declined, but after repeated battles, our Seventh Column is already exhausted, and we are not much stronger than the little devils at this point, so I decided that the troops will rest for a night tonight, let the soldiers recover their strength, and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning to annihilate the Japanese 32nd Division in one fell swoop." ”Several people nodded when they heard this, and they naturally knew very well what the situation of their troops was.Li Yongfu nodded and said: "I agree with the commander's opinion, judging from the current situation, if the little devil wants to rescue the 32nd Division, the troops that can be sent are nothing more than the Independent Ninth Mixed Brigade and the Independent Third Mixed Brigade, but no matter what the little devil is, they can't rush to the ancient town in a short time, so we don't have to rush for a while." ”Lin Feng nodded in agreement and said, "If the little devil really sends these two troops to support, maybe after we annihilate the 32nd Division, we can go back and destroy them with an independent mixed brigade." ”Li Guotao said with a smile on his face: "Don't think about things so easily, the little devils are not fools, they won't do anything to send them to death, let's destroy the 32nd Division first, as for whether we can continue to expand the results of the battle and destroy their reinforcements all the way, it depends on luck." ”Guo Lihui said with a smile: "The commander is right, it is already a miracle to be able to destroy a reorganized division of devils, and we can't be too greedy" Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, let's go here today, I see that everyone is tired, let's go back and rest early, but we must order all troops to strengthen vigilance and prevent devils from breaking through at night, this cooked duck, we can't let it fly." ”"Haha, please rest assured, this boiled duck wants to fly, but it can't fly."
Lin Feng said with a smile."
That is, if it wants to fly, Lao Tzu will shoot him down with one shot."
Li Yongfu continued.A few more people chatted a few more words, and then got up and left.Li Guotao has also been tired in the past few days, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, explain to a few staff officers, and go back to sleep.Early the next morning, although he hadn't slept enough, Li Guotao still got up from the bed very early and hurriedly came to the headquarters.A staff officer hurriedly greeted him and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, all units are ready to attack." ”"Very good" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Last night, didn't the little devil try to break through?"
"No, for a whole night, the Japanese army has been hurrying to build fortifications. ”The staff officer hurriedly replied.Li Guotao nodded, then walked to the front of the sand table, and asked with a frown: "Did I reconnoiter the location of the devil's artillery position last night?"
”"The special combat team infiltrated the devil's defense area and successfully found the location of the devil's artillery position, which is here."
The staff officer hurriedly pointed to the sand table and replied.Li Guotao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he sighed softly and said: "This Kimura Hyotaro is cunning enough, worthy of being an artillery expert, and building the artillery position on the anti-slope position here, the artillery fire can not only cover the entire battlefield, but also avoid the artillery fire of our army." ”"Yes, Commander.Our staff officers have already studied it just now, and our artillery is simply not able to knock out the artillery positions of the devils, and if we want to pull out this nail, we can only use the air force. ”The staff officer nodded.Li Guotao nodded and said: "It seems that there is no other way, immediately send a telegram to the air force, inform them of the location of the devil's artillery position, and request air force support." ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, turning to deliver the order.The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to the attack on Shuozhou by the Seventh Column, and specially ordered the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army to give full cooperation; for this campaign, the air side built a temporary airfield in Hunyuan County, and all the fighters of the Eighth Route Army Air Force have been transferred to the Hunyuan Airfield, so that they can support the Seventh Column nearby.The news soon reached Hunyuan Airport through radio waves, and the pilots of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Regiment were already in full position, and all the fighters were filled with fuel and ammunition and were ready to attack.With the order of the commander on the ground, one after another fighters quickly slid out of the runway and flew into the blue sky, and after completing the formation in the air, more than 20 fighters flew straight to the direction of the ancient town.Hunyuan Airport is only less than 100 miles away from the ancient town, and it didn't take long for our air force formation to fly over the ancient town, and then the bomber formation directly pounced on the devil's artillery position according to the information it had received in advance.Strings of bombs with a swarthy metallic sheen fell from the open hatch and landed towards the Devil artillery positions on the ground."
Boom" was followed by a violent explosion, and a ball of flames rose on the ground, and under the wild bombardment of our air force, it didn't take long for the devil's artillery position to fall into a sea of fire.aa2705221:
