The next morning, after Li Guotao had breakfast, he hurriedly came to the command headquarters, Ma Zhenguo saw Li Guotao and hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Commander, all units have begun to prepare to launch an attack according to the plan, and according to the current situation, they can launch an attack on time this afternoon." ”Li Guotao nodded, and then asked: "Is there any situation on the Japanese side?"
"The Japanese army on the opposite side has never moved. ”Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied."
I know this, I'm asking about other aspects of the Japanese army."
Li Guotao waved his hand and interrupted Ma Zhenguo's words.Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied: "In the enclosure in the north, our army has blocked the devils, and the Japanese army has no intention of continuing to attack for the time being.As for the front line of the Great Wall, the 21st Division, which was urgently transferred back from Henan to support, has already rushed to Tangshan, and the 36th Division has already moved north to Langfang, and it is estimated that it will be able to rush to Jixian this afternoon. ”"Well, that means that the North China Dispatch Army has gathered the strength of three divisions.As for the Kwantung Army, only two divisions have been dispatched so far. ”Li Guotao said thoughtfully."
For the time being.According to the latest intelligence, the Kwantung Army has gathered more than one division in the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, and judging from this situation, the Japanese 11th Division may set out from Shanhaiguan and advance in the direction of Rehe. ”Ma Zhenguo continued.Li Guotao lowered his head and looked at the map on the table, nodded slightly and said, "According to the current situation, the 11th Division is estimated to start from Shanhaiguan, reach Qinglong, and then enter Rehe.It seems that this time, the three divisions of the North China Dispatch Army only pinned down the strength of our army from the front line of the Great Wall, and it was these three divisions of the Kwantung Army that really launched the attack. ”Ma Zhenguo smiled and said: "This is not unexpected, the Kwantung Army has always been known as the elite, this Rehe was originally their defense area, and now it was suddenly recovered by our army, and the Kwantung Army can be described as disgraced."
The Kwantung Army naturally hoped to save this face, so it did not want the North China Dispatch Army to interfere too much.Moreover, the Kwantung Army is probably also full of confidence, believing that the dispatch of three divisions and regiments, coupled with the North China dispatch army to contain us, is enough to defeat us completely. ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "Your analysis is reasonable, and this is still very beneficial to us."
The passes of the Great Wall are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we only need to use a small number of troops to hold back the North China Dispatch Army, and then we can concentrate our forces to deal with these three divisions of the Kwantung Army. ”Ma Zhenguo smiled and nodded and said: "If we can defeat this Ninth Division first, it will be even more sure of victory" "Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, looked at the map with his head down, and said with a firm face: "So this battle, we must win." ”At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, more than 20 fighters of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Regiment suddenly flew over the Japanese position.Soon, in the midst of a piercing whistling, strings of black, metallic bombs fell on the Japanese positions like hail."
Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded one after another, and since the special combat team had already detected the location of the Japanese artillery position in advance, the devil's artillery position was given priority.Earlier under the bombardment of our army suffered heavy losses, although the artillery positions of the little devils were somewhat camouflaged, but to no avail.The devil's anti-aircraft firepower also had little effect, and in the first round of bombing alone, the Japanese artillery wing lost more than half.At the same time, the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, which concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces of various types, began to bombard the Japanese positions.Although the Japanese army had detected that the Eighth Route Army was actively mobilizing before, and there seemed to be signs of an attack, the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Li Yilang, did not take it to heart at all, in the eyes of this old devil, he had a whole division in his hands, and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side did not have an advantage in terms of strength at all, unless they were crazy, they would not dare to take the initiative to attack, so the Japanese army was not well prepared, and the Japanese army immediately fell into chaos as soon as the attack of the Eighth Route Army began."
Baga Yalu" looked at the chaotic headquarters, Tong Li Yilang couldn't help but scold angrily, and shouted loudly with an angry face: "Immediately send a telegram to the aviation troops, request air support, immediately send orders to all wings, hold their positions, and block the attack of the Zhina people no matter what." ”Although Li Yilang was a little caught off guard, this old devil was experienced after all, and he did not become overwhelmed because of this, and immediately issued one order after another.The devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order."
Boom" There was a violent explosion outside, the whole ground trembled slightly, and Li Yilang's face became even more ugly, frowning and muttering to himself: "How can this be, how can a group of earth eight roads have such powerful firepower." ”The artillery of the Eighth Route Army bombarded the main positions of the Japanese army for twenty minutes, and then began to fire extendedly.At the same time, the loud trumpet suddenly sounded.Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed out of their positions with loud roars, like a surging tide, rushing towards the Japanese position.As far as the eye can see, on the battlefield that is several kilometers long, the mountains and fields are full of the figures of the Eighth Route Army bravely rushing to kill, and the momentum of the Eighth Route Army is like a rainbow, in the earth-shattering shouting and killing, with an indomitable momentum, rushing towards the position of the little devil.Yang Dashan's newly formed 4th Brigade was responsible for launching an attack from the left flank, and at this time, Yang Dashan was rushing towards a small hill occupied by the Japanese army with dozens of soldiers under his command and more than 200 soldiers from other companies and platoons.When the soldiers rushed halfway up the mountain, a blazing tongue of fire suddenly erupted from the top of the mountain, and several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed in front were caught off guard and immediately swept to the ground by the dense rain of bullets.The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the back, seeing that the situation was not good, lay on the ground one after another, and the company commander roared angrily: "Machine gun cover, grenadiers for Lao Tzu to bombard his mother" "Lie down and pay attention to concealment" Yang Dashan quickly lay behind a big rock, and loudly ordered the soldiers behind him to hide.Then he raised the 38 cover in his hand and aimed at the devil machine gunner on the top of the mountain, from Yang Dashan's position, it was just right to see that the machine gunner exposed half of his helmet, and after Yang Dashan aimed, he immediately pulled the trigger.aa2705221:
