In Beiping, in the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army, Tada Jun sat on a chair, his face was gloomy, and he asked with a serious face: "How is the current situation of the 10th Division" Kasahara Yukio replied with a respectful face: "The 10th Division has all rushed to the front line of the Bauhinia Pass, and according to the itinerary, it is estimated that the Bauhinia Pass will be able to pass this afternoon."
Please rest assured, Your Excellency, that the Imperial Army has been carefully reconnoitred, and there is indeed no main force of the Tuba Road in the vicinity of Bauhinia Pass, and absolutely no one can stop the 10th Division from entering Shanxi.The only thing to worry about is that most of the road from Bauhinia Pass to Taiyuan is mountainous, and the road conditions are extremely poor, so it will take at least four to five days for the 10th Division to reach Taiyuan. ”Tada Jun's brows furrowed deeply when he heard this, and he said with a dissatisfied face: "This speed is really too slow, and the 10th Division must speed up and rush to Taiyuan as soon as possible." ”"Hai" Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully.Tada Jun pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Niangzi Pass side still needs to strengthen the offensive, even if it can't break through the Niangzi Pass, at least the main force of the Dirt Eight Road must be firmly contained in the Niangzi Pass, so that they can't support the other Dirt Eight Roads." ”"Hai" Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully, frowning and hesitating to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, and it was useless to say anything at this point.Yukio Kasawara never supported the 10th Division's entry into Shanxi via the Bauhinia Pass, believing that it would be too risky to do so, and that the 10th Division would go deep alone, and if it encountered danger, it would likely be wiped out.However, Tada Jun was bent on going his own way, and he was full of confidence in the 10th Division, thinking that with the combat effectiveness of the 10th Division, he could definitely go all the way to Taiyuan and defeat the enemy besieging Taiyuan.Then the Japanese army could completely turn the tide of the war and turn defeat into victory.Therefore, Tada Jun was able to defy public opinion and insist on implementing this plan.Yukio Kasawara glanced up at Tada, saw Tada Jun bowing his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about something, sighed softly, and turned around and left Tada's office.In terms of Niangzi Pass, under the order of Xuandao Takawa Da and Da Forced Tongzhen, the Japanese army concentrated all its artillery fire and bombarded the beacon tower, and for a time the cannon rumbled, and the shells continued to fall on our army's position like raindrops, and in the continuous violent explosion, the entire mountain was trembling slightly, as if it might collapse at any time.At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese fighter planes flew over Niangziguan again, and a string of aerial bombs fell on the beacon one after another, and a violent explosion broke out, and the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke completely covered the entire mountain.Xuandao Gao slowly put down the telescope in his hand, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "Yo Xi should be like this, now those stupid people should know the power of the imperial army" Da Qiang Tongzhen frowned and said: "Xuandao-kun, there is still a problem, if this problem cannot be solved, the imperial army will still not be able to capture Niangzi Pass, and may even be defeated." ”"Oh" Xuandao Gao frowned slightly, and asked: "I don't know what the problem Da Qiang Jun is talking about" Da Qiang Tongzhen sighed and said, "Logistics supply."
Last night, those hateful Tubalu sneak attacked Shang'an Town, and a large group of imperial army warriors were all shattered.It can be seen from this that the logistical supply lines of the Imperial Army are still under great threat from the Eighth Route Army.And since all the supplies last time were destroyed by the China, our ammunition reserves are running out at present, and such a large-scale bombing as it is now can not last long. ”Xuandao Gao couldn't help frowning, nodded slightly and said: "Da Qiangjun's worry is not unreasonable, it is said that today, there will be a batch of supplies to the front line, and it is necessary to ensure that this batch of supplies is successfully transported to the front line."
However, if you want to solve the problem fundamentally, there is only one way, and that is to capture Niangzi Pass as soon as possible. ”Da Forced Tongzhen sighed helplessly, things have developed to this point, it is indeed a little unexpected by this old devil, but the matter has come to this point, this old devil has nothing to do, although the future is uncertain, but it can only be hard-headed.The Japanese artillery bombardment finally stopped, and those nasty devil planes also flapped their wings and left, and a rare calm was restored on the battlefield, but the smoke of gunpowder that permeated the beacon tower refused to disperse.But this trace of calm did not last long, not long after the artillery stopped, on the Japanese position, a devil Shaozuo pulled out the command knife on his waist, pointed forward and roared loudly: "Imperial warriors, the opportunity to make contributions to the Great Japanese Empire has come, the imperial army will win, kill it" With the roar of the devil officer, hundreds of little devils immediately rushed towards the beacon tower with bayonets.Under the illumination of the sun, the cold bayonets reflected a dazzling cold light, and hundreds of little devils screamed wildly, and soon rushed to the bottom of the mountain, and then without any stop, they continued to rush towards the top of the mountain one by one.Under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, the beacon tower position was already in disarray, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of a battalion stationed in the position also suffered heavy losses under the shelling of the devils.A soldier of the Eighth Route Army, struggling to crawl out of a pile of corpses, glanced down the mountain, and immediately shouted loudly, "The little devil has attacked, and the brothers are ready to fight." ”In his shouting, from all corners of the position, more than 20 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army came out one after another, some of these soldiers had been wounded, but they still insisted on crawling to the position, raising their guns and aiming at the little devils who rushed up below."
And those who are not panting, get up and fight the devils, the little devils are about to come up," several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army shouted anxiously together.But no matter how they shouted, not even one of them stood up, and it was obvious that the rest of the people had already been sacrificed, a battalion of more than 400 people, and now only these 20 people remained.Looking at the remains of their comrades-in-arms, the faces of the soldiers couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, and some even couldn't help but burst into tears.Among the more than 20 soldiers who survived, the highest position was a company commander, who reached out and touched a handful of tears, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, listen to my orders, prepare to fight, and avenge the sacrificed comrades.Even if he dies, he must not let the little devil occupy the beacon. ”"Swear to defend the beacon tower" More than 20 soldiers shouted in unison.aa2705221:
