Li Changsheng hurriedly said: "In the past two days, the Japanese army has not taken the initiative to attack, and our army has won successive battles, and morale is high.The units have been actively preparing for a counteroffensive.Generals at all levels asked for war one after another, hoping to launch an attack on the Japanese army as soon as possible. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I have also heard some rumors, the soldiers have said that in these battles, the limelight has been stolen by the armored division, and the soldiers feel ashamed, so they want to save face and prove to everyone that even the infantry division is not worse than their armored division." ”Li Changsheng said with a helpless smile: "The troops have indeed had such rumors in recent times, but the soldiers are also holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, ready to do a big job, so in the past two days, the troops have been actively preparing for the war, and they have already prepared for a full-scale counteroffensive.I also believe that our soldiers will be able to fight this battle well, but after all, this battle is very important, so I will personally rush to the front line.Old Li, tell me your specific battle plan now" "Okay" Li Changsheng nodded, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the map, and said with a serious face: "According to the plan we agreed on in advance, we will launch an attack on the whole front early tomorrow morning, in which the new 4th Division is responsible for launching an attack on the Japanese army from the southwest to contain the main force of the Japanese 7th Division, and interspersed with one of them in the northwest direction to cut off the connection between the 1st Division and the 7th Division of the Japanese Army, and the new 1st Division and the 3rd Division of the main force of our army, An all-out attack will be launched from the direction of Glass Mountain, and strive to defeat the main force of the Japanese 7th Division as soon as possible. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, this battle plan is very simple, but it is also the safest way, Li Guotao thought about it and asked: "What about the armored division, how do you plan to arrange it" Li Changsheng hurriedly replied: "According to the plan, the armored division will rush to the front line of Glass Mountain tomorrow morning, after the general attack begins, the armored division can take advantage of its strong mobility, and pass through Maolin Town all the way to the north, so as to prevent the Japanese Seventh Division from retreating in the direction of Changling County." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded after hearing this and said: "This plan is generally not bad, since this is the case, let's implement it according to your plan, but the key to this battle lies in whether our army can defeat the Japanese Seventh Division in one fell swoop, once the battle drags on for a long time, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on our army, so this attack must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and strive to completely defeat this seventh division in the shortest possible time." ”"Please rest assured, commander, promise to complete the mission."
Li Changsheng swore and promised.Li Guotao nodded, turned to look at Yang Erhu and asked, "Yang Erhu, although the other two divisions are the main attackers in this battle, the task of your new fourth division is also very important.As soon as the battle starts, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army will definitely send troops to the rescue, and you will divide a part of your forces, intersperse behind enemy lines, and intercept the reinforcements of the Japanese army, are you sure?"
”Yang Erhu swore an oath.Early the next morning, Li Guotao got up early, and after a simple breakfast, he rushed to the front line.Li Changsheng stayed in the front-line command headquarters to take command, and this was the position of the newly formed Fourth Division, so Yang Erhu accompanied Li Guotao and briefly introduced the situation to Li Guotao.Li Guotao walked around the position, saw that the morale of the soldiers was high, and he was very satisfied, and then came to a forward observation post, where Yang Erhu stopped Li Guotao, signaling that there might be danger ahead, and the commander could not go any further.Because this is located on a high ground, the situation of the Japanese position on the opposite side can already be observed, so Li Guotao did not insist on continuing to move forward, raised the telescope and looked at the opposite position, only to see that the Japanese position was calm, and he did not realize that the Eighth Route Army was about to launch a large-scale attack.Li Guotao nodded slightly, then put down the binoculars, and asked with a serious face: "How long is there until the general attack time?"
"According to the plan, our army will launch an attack in half an hour." ”Yang Erhu raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and hurriedly replied."
There is still half an hour left," Li Guotao couldn't help frowning."
Why can't the commander be a little impatient, hehe, to be honest, I'm also in a hurry, and I can't wait to launch an attack immediately and completely defeat the little devil on the opposite side."
Yang Erhu said with a smile.Li Guotao nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "Has the armored division arrived?"
"It has arrived at the designated position, and it is now resting, after the general attack is launched, the armored division will assist the other divisions to launch an attack together according to the established plan." ”A staff officer next to him hurriedly replied."
Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured, then we just need to wait patiently now." ”Half an hour is not long, but not short.Soon the time for a general offensive finally came, and the front command immediately ordered all units to launch a full-scale offensive according to the original plan.The order to attack was quickly transmitted to the front-line positions through the telephone line, and soon the rumbling sound of artillery sounded on the artillery positions of our army, and the dense shells flew towards the Japanese positions like raindrops, and the violent explosions suddenly sounded into one, and pieces of artillery fire rose into the air, completely swallowing up the positions of the little devils in the blink of an eye.At the same time, a violent roar of motors sounded in the air, and one after another, fighter planes, drilled out of the clouds, with a piercing whistling sound, like a predatory falcon, rushed towards the devil's position on the ground.Strings of black, metallic bombs descended quickly from the air and smashed into the Japanese positions on the ground."
Boom" A series of deafening explosions sounded, and the entire ground trembled slightly in the violent explosions, and the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke completely swallowed up the position of the little devils.Li Guotao held a telescope to observe the Japanese position opposite, with a smile on his face, and nodded with satisfaction.aa2705221:
