Sure enough, as Li Guotao guessed, in the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army left Jingcheng County and went straight to Niangzi Pass.According to Li Guotao's order, the troops along the way only made symbolic resistance and withdrew directly to Niangzi Pass.But even so, after the Japanese army captured Zhaijiazhuang, it was already dark at this time.The little devil didn't dare to march at night, because the main force of the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Niangziguan, and it was too dangerous to march at night, and the little devil also knew this, so he didn't dare to take risks at all.Although these little devils were eager to take the Niangzi Pass, after the previous battle, they also knew the power of the Eighth Route Army, so they didn't dare to take this risk again.With the 14th Division's front car signed, both Xuandao Takashi and Osako Tongzhen have become a lot more cautious.But that night, the little devil was not idle, and the main force of the 46th Division also left Jingcheng County and rushed to the vicinity of Zhaijiazhuang to make peace with the 47th Division.Early the next morning, the Japanese army, with the main force of the 46th Division as the vanguard, left Zhaijiazhuang and went straight to Niangzi Pass.After Li Guotao received the news, he hurriedly rushed to the headquarters of the Taiyue Military Region, and after Commander Chen saw Li Guotao, he was very happy and said with a smile: "Haha Guotao, you have fought so beautifully in Jingcheng County. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "Commander Chen said that he laughed, speaking of Jingcheng, it was a bit of a fluke that Jing Cheng was able to win this battle. ”"Alright, you kid don't have to be humble with me."
Commander Chen waved his hand and said.Li Guotao said seriously: "Although we have annihilated some of the little devils in Jingcheng County, the main force of the Japanese army is still there, and now we are attacking my Niangzi Pass on a large scale, and the real vicious war has just begun." ”Commander Chen smiled and nodded, "That's right, the real war has just begun.However, our army has made sufficient preparations, and it is simply wishful thinking for the little devil to break through the Niangzi Pass.This time, your seventh column will first act as a reserve, just so that the soldiers can take a good rest, restore their combat effectiveness, and see how the soldiers of our Taiyue Military Region kill devils. ”"Okay" Li Guotao nodded with a smile and said, "With Commander Chen personally in command, I believe that this time I will be able to defeat the little devil in one fell swoop." ”Commander Chen glanced at Li Guotao with a smile and said: "You kid don't have to put a high hat on me, this time we are facing a little devil with more than two divisions, to be honest, I really don't have a bottom in my heart."
However, although there is no certainty that it will be defeated in one fell swoop, there is absolutely no problem in holding the defense line of Niangzi Pass and keeping the little devil out of the pass. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "The key to the problem now is the 10th Division of the Japanese army, if this little devil rushes to Niangzi Pass, this battle will be even more difficult to fight." ”When Commander Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "I also got the news from the headquarters about the 10th Division, and at present, we have no way to stop this 10th Division from rushing to Niangzi Pass, and now I only hope that they can arrive later."
But even if they arrive, they won't want to break through my mother's defense. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Now that the main force of our army is storming Xinzhou, it is said that it has occupied most of the urban area, and it is only a matter of time before Xinzhou is taken."
Moreover, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army have also sent troops to participate in the war, and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army in the western and southern Jin regions, and everything is developing in the direction of our army. ”"Hmm" Commander Chen said with a firm face: "So no matter what, we must guard the Niangzi Pass at all costs and keep the little devils out of the Niangzi Pass." ”On the rugged mountain road, a devil officer looked at the position of the Eighth Route Army in the distance with an angry face, pulled out the command knife at his waist, and roared loudly: "Warriors, the opportunity to make contributions to the Great Japanese Empire has come, kill one" With the order of the devil officer, thousands of little devils immediately raised their bayonets, and rushed towards our army's position with a scream.On the position of the Eighth Route Army, Su Xiufeng looked at the approaching little devil with an indifferent face, and a sneer couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and after the little devil rushed to the best range, Su Xiufeng raised the box gun in his hand and aimed at a little devil, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hit Lao Tzu hard" said and pulled the trigger without hesitation.A crisp gunshot rang out, and a little devil who rushed over fell to the ground.The other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also pulled the trigger one after another, and for a while, the gunfire was loud, and the dense rain of bullets flew towards the little devil like splashing water.The terrible screams immediately rang out, and the little devil who rushed in front was instantly swept down.The little devil in the back was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, looked for favorable terrain and hid on the spot, raised the gun in his hand and began to fight back.Before the battlefield, there was a rain of bullets, you came and went, the sound of guns and cannons was deafening, and the battle was extremely tragic.The fierce battle lasted for about ten minutes, although the little devil kept charging, but he was never able to break through the defense line of our army, and the front of the position was already covered with a corpse of the devil, but the little devil did not give up, and still attacked like a mad attack.Su Xiufeng commanded his soldiers to have a good time, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said respectfully: "Report to the regiment commander, the brigade commander ordered us to retreat immediately." ”"Why retreat," Su Xiufeng asked with a puzzled expression."
The brigade commander said that according to the order of the headquarters, the little devil should be put in Niangzi Pass to fight again, so let's retreat immediately, make peace with the main force of the brigade, and rest for a while."
The soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly explained."
Bastard" Su Xiufeng couldn't help but scold, raised the box cannon in his hand and pulled the trigger again and again at the little devil who rushed up, until all the bullets in the gun were empty, and then he gave up, shouting loudly at the top of his voice: "Brothers alternate cover, withdraw from the position immediately." ”With Su Xiufeng's order, the soldiers immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the little devil immediately rushed up frantically when he saw this, wanting to take the opportunity to defeat the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.However, our army retreated in an orderly manner, fighting and retreating, and the plot of the little devils failed in the end, although they successfully broke through the defense line of our army, Su Xiufeng also successfully led the soldiers to get rid of the pursuit of the little devils and retreated.aa2705221:
