Dozens of warplanes roared past the Japanese positions, and then a string of black, metallic bombs fell from the sky and fell on the Japanese positions."
Boom" A violent explosion completely shattered the silence of the early morning, and pieces of fire rose into the air, and the Japanese position was instantly plunged into a cloud of artillery fire.At the same time, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army also sounded with a rumbling cannon, and one shell after another pierced the sky, with a piercing whistling sound, like hail towards the position of the devil."
Boom" A violent explosion sounded one after another, one after another, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the sky and the earth changed color.The little devil was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the artillery to carry out artillery countermeasures, and at the same time asked the Japanese army and aviation to give emergency tactical guidance.However, the devil was not prepared and rushed to the battle, and fell into disadvantage at the beginning, and in this large-scale and extremely fierce artillery battle, the little devil suffered heavy losses.In the headquarters of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao looked at the sand table in front of him with a serious face, holding a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out a puff of white smoke from time to time, raising his wrist and glancing at his watch, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he reached out and took the cigarette butt in his mouth, turned to Yang Xuecheng next to him and asked: "It's almost time, how is the situation on the front line" Yang Xuecheng frowned and replied: "At present, the battle on the front line is fierce, and our army suddenly launched an attack. ”Li Guotao nodded noncommittally, and then said with a serious face: "I can't wait any longer, order the troops to launch a general attack on the whole front and defeat the Japanese 7th Division as soon as possible." ”"Yes" Yang Xuecheng hesitated for a moment, and finally answered, and then hurriedly turned around to convey the order.It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and after several hours of artillery fighting, the Devils' fortifications were completely destroyed.Li Guotao's order was immediately transmitted to all front-line troops, and then the participating units of the Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive on the whole front.The main forces of the newly formed 1st Division and the newly formed 2nd Division of the Eighth Route Army, relying on the Tazishan position, launched a fierce attack on the position of the Japanese 7th Division in front.The armored division and cavalry division of the Eighth Route Army quickly interspersed with a roundabout approach to the rear of the Japanese army in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.In the loud horn of the charge, thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed out of the position, roaring loudly and killing the devil's position.The battle became extremely fierce from the beginning, and the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army swept towards the devil's position like a surging tide.However, the devil is also unusually tenacious, although the incident happened in a hurry, the preparation is insufficient, although the little devil urgently built the defense line, has been destroyed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, has become a mess, but the tenacious little devil still relies on these dilapidated positions, desperately resisting the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army.At the same time, the newly formed Fourth Division and the Independent First Division of the Eighth Route Army also launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Japanese 14th Division and other units in order to contain the main force of the devils and buy time for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to defeat the Japanese Seventh Division.The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and although the Eighth Route Army attacked rapidly, the frontal attack was blocked under the stubborn resistance of the devils, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.However, the Eighth Route Army did not give up, and still launched attacks in turn without interruption, not giving the little devils any respite.At this time, the armored division and the cavalry division, which were responsible for the detour, made a breakthrough, successfully broke through the outer defense line of the 7th Division, and then made a detour towards the rear of the 7th Division.With the roar of the rumbling motors, hundreds of tanks and armored divisions formed a torrent of steel, crushing forward with an indefinite momentum.Behind them, trucks full of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army followed behind the armored cluster, forming a long queue and slowly moving forward.There were also a large number of heavily armed soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the side of the road, protecting the armored cluster and the convoy, running forward quickly, for fear that if they took a step slower, they would fall behind.At the same time, on another road a few miles away from the armored division, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, riding tall and mighty war horses, quickly advanced forward.The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, like the roar of war drums, which was daunting, and the road raised a cloud of smoke and dust, which swept like a giant dragon from a distance.The rear of the Seventh Division was under serious threat and could fall into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army at any time, the little devil suddenly panicked, and the Seventh Division immediately began to retreat, preparing to retreat south, so as not to be surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.At the same time, the 14th Division and the other two independent mixed brigades learned that the situation was not good, and after a short period of coordination and communication, they finally absolutely withdrew from their positions and moved closer to the 7th Division, and all the troops retreated south together after they were assembled.Li Guotao was naturally very happy when he got the news that the Japanese army had begun to retreat on all fronts, and immediately ordered all the troops participating in the front line to continue the pursuit and strive to defeat the little devil in one fell swoop.Under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, the devils who retreated in a hurry suffered heavy losses, and the little devils had to leave part of the troops behind to block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force retreated quickly, hoping to escape from Siping as soon as possible.On the way to retreat, the troops of the 7th Division on the front line were attacked by the main force of the armored division, and the little devils, who had no position to rely on, were suddenly defeated and suffered heavy losses under the impact of the armored cluster.The remnants fled to the southwest instead.At this time, the cavalry division arrived in time and cooperated with the armored division to pursue the Japanese rout.The rout of the 7th Division, after making peace with the 14th Division and other units, then fled together in the southwest direction, trying to avoid the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.It is not slow for a short-legged little devil to escape for his life, but no matter how fast he is, how can he be faster than tanks and armored vehicles, and how can he be faster than cavalry.The armored division and the cavalry division followed and killed all the way, and the infantry units of the Eighth Route Army also bit the devil's ass fiercely and chased after it.The little devil was defeated, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.In order to avoid the doom of being completely annihilated, the little devil could only adopt the method of gecko breaking off its tail to survive, constantly leaving the troops behind, trying to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and buy time for the main force to break through, but these remaining troops, without exception, were all successfully annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.The morale of the participating units of the Eighth Route Army was greatly boosted, and they continued to chase and kill all the way with the momentum of great victory.From the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening to the dawn, the Japanese army was routed all the way for more than 100 miles, with heavy losses.aa2705221:
