The straight line distance on the map is about thirty kilometers from Black Wind Inlet to Pig Killing Inlet.

However, the actual distance is more than forty kilometers. It is undoubtedly very difficult for the Northwest Shanxi Column to complete the forty kilometers of mountain road within five hours. This is completely a forced march.

The most tiring one is undoubtedly the communication team.

Because the communication team cannot keep marching,

The radio station must be set up from time to time to communicate.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, about eight kilometers away from the Pig Killing Mouth, the communication team set up a radio station again to communicate with several reconnaissance teams and various military sub-districts that had been sent out.

Because of the tight time, the professional quality of telecommunications is high.

So Li Xia did not dare to make a fake newbie, so he personally wore headphones to copy the radio signal.

It took about ten minutes to record the radio signals on paper one by one, and then translated the dot and dash symbols into text in the shortest time. Then, the communication team ordered the radio to be put away and put on horseback to continue the march.

Li Xia himself rode a fast horse to catch up with Wang Ye and handed the telegram to Wang Ye.

There was a telegram, which was sent by the reconnaissance team that monitored the Japanese clusters in the north and south directions, three military divisions, and also by Wei Dayong from the pig killer's mouth.

In addition, there are telegrams sent by Anhua Command.

Wang Ye asked Wei Xilai to use flashlights, and after reading the telegram, he reported to the brigade commander one by one.

"The Brigade Commander, the Japanese who were rushing from the north have already rushed to Tiandagang overnight and launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions of our third division first regiment. At present, the two sides are fighting fiercely."

"But Sun Bin said that it's not a big problem."

The brigade commander was already out of breath and could only nod and signal.

Wang Ye took a breath and continued, "The Japanese who surrendered from the south are still in Hongniwan, and are working hard to repair fortifications overnight."

The brigade commander continued to nod.

Wang Ye said again: "The situation of Yezhugou, Yelangyu, Xijikou and Shouzhukou Fortress is similar. The Japanese army in front of him are still attacking day and night, but the strength is not high. Obviously, the Japanese army wants to wait until the simple road is built and their tanks and armored vehicles are on the mountain before launching a large-scale attack."

After saying this, he said, "But the problem is not big."

"Because when designing fortifications fortifications, the Japanese armored power was already taken into account. Our side firepower was enough to pose a threat to Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. Therefore, even if the Japanese army had coordinated combat with armored troops, it was nothing more than a slightly faster collapse."

The brigade commander nodded and nodded again.

Wang Ye said again: "The four chariot companies have set out from Anhua and will probably arrive at the battlefield two hours after the war begins. They can accidentally kill out of the pig-killing mouth and give the Japanese a back stab."

"When the tank company attacks, the first regiment in the second division will also send a battalion to jointly attack."

After saying this, Wang Ye said again: "If the 28th Division of the Japanese Army did not leave enough troops in front of the Zhuzhukou, this backstab might have killed them!"

The brigade commander nodded, and he already knew the meaning.

Wang Ye finally said: "Then the telegram sent back by the monk. Because they were worried about exposure, they did not conduct reconnaissance during the day yesterday, but after night, they conducted detailed reconnaissance. The camp of the 28th Division of the Japanese Army was located in an open area outside the Zhushoukou, which was about three kilometers in a radius, and a large number of guard posts were sent out on the periphery."

“So to be on the safe side, we have to spread from five kilometers away.”

"To attract the attention of the Japanese, create opportunities for the backstab of the armored company,"

"I think we can launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the east and south at the same time."

"In addition, Wei Dayong's team also divided the coordinate parameters for each camp of the Japanese."

After saying this, Wang Ye said: "The various troops participating in the war can call for firepower support from the artillery regiment by comparing the coordinates."

"Yeah." The brigade commander nodded, suddenly stopped and supported his knees with both hands, "In this way, the troops can almost stop and take a break and fill their stomachs first."

Taking advantage of the soldiers eating dry food,

The brigade commander called Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cao Sanlian over again.

Before the brigade commander could speak, Wang Ye had already spread the map on the ground and asked Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli to aim at the map with flashlights.

“Appoint a task now.”

The brigade commander finally breathed evenly and said to Kong Jie first: "Kong Jie, you will lead the guard regiment to Taiyuan, find a suitable location to repair the fortifications, and prepare to face the original Japanese in Taiyuan."

"Yes!" Kong Jie agreed, and closed the tobacco pipe and left.

The brigade commander couldn't help but shout loudly again: "Listen, without my order, you are not allowed to take a step back when you die!"

"Yes!" Kong Jie turned around and turned around, saluted the brigade commander solemnly, and said loudly, "Please rest assured, commander, our guard regiment will nail to the defensive position like a nail. Before receiving the command, even if the entire regiment is fighting all, I, Kong Jie, will never take a step back!"

"Li Yunlong." The brigade commander turned his gaze to Li Yunlong again.

"You will lead the third team to unfold from the east of the Pig Killing Mouth."

"Remember, three groups are launching at the same time and launching attacks at the same time!"

"Another, Xiao Wang will give you a few maps later. The subdivided coordinates of positions in various Japanese military camps have been marked on the map. You send these coordinates to each regiment and tell them that if you encounter stubborn firepower points from the Japanese during the attack, you will call for artillery fire support according to the coordinates marked on the map."

"Yes!" Li Yunlong stood attentively and agreed solemnly.

The brigade commander said again: "Li Yunlong, please let me know."

"Before this, you always shouted in front of me to fight the Japanese, fight the Japanese."

"Now the opportunity is in front of you. Don't let me down!"

"Brig Commander, don't worry." Li Yunlong said with wide eyes, "If our third detachment cannot break through the Japanese defense line and cannot complete the mission, you can cut off my Li Yunlong's head as a chamber pot."

"Come again, I can't use a chamber pot as big as yours." The brigade commander snorted.

After pausing, the brigade commander turned his eyes to Ding Wei and said, "Ding Wei, your team will be launched from the south of the Pig Killing Mouth. There are also three regiments that will be launched at the same time and launch a fierce attack at the same time."

"I won't say much about the specific requirements compared to the third team."

"But I want to emphasize in particular that if the Japanese 28th Division is forced into a corner, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be rushed, so it is very likely that the elite forces will be organized to counterattack. You must be mentally prepared for this."

"Yes!" Ding Wei said seriously, "I will be cautious and will never let the Japanese 28th Division break through the south."

The brigade commander turned his gaze to Cao San Company and said, "Cao San Company, don't worry about the location of the artillery position. The reconnaissance team of the Wolf Warrior Brigade has already chosen for you."

“I only have one requirement for you.”

"The walkie-talkie must be kept open."

"And don't misheard the coordinates sent back in front."

"So as to prevent the shell from falling on one's own heads."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "Finally, don't save me shells! If you have the ability, you can destroy all the 30,000 shells you brought this time!"

Cao San stood attentively and replied: "Yes!"

The brigade commander raised his wrist again and said, "Now, check it out."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Cao Sanlian and Wang Ye raised their right wrist at the same time.

The brigade commander glanced and said, "It is now 0:00 am on the 28th, and the general attack time is one. Before the general attack, the artillery regiment will prepare for artillery fire, starting from 0:30 and lasting for half an hour."

"Yes!" Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Cao Sanlian and Wang Ye agreed in unison.

Then Wang Ye took Ma Yuan and Chen Mingli to mark the map quickly.

The map of Pig Killing Mouth is ready-made, and many copies were prepared before leaving.

So what they need to do now is to append coordinates to the map.

In less than a moment, Wang Ye and the other two marked six maps.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei each left with three maps.

Wang Ye and the others continued to mark more maps to the artillery regiment.

At least one marked map must be ensured for each artillery company.

...

Outside the pig killing mouth, the 28th Japanese Division camp.

Although gunfire and explosions were heard from time to time on the hillsides on both sides of the pig's mouth, Ishiguro Sadatsu, who was lying on the camp bed, still slept soundly.

That's what the veterans are like.

Even if the bomb explodes in my ears,

I can still fall asleep when it's time to go to bed.

This ability is not innate, but is trained.

Therefore, when there were dense gunfire sounds on the east and south of the camp, Ishiguro Sadazusa did not respond.

After more than ten minutes, it was not until the Chief of Staff of the 28th Division, Rigengawa Aoshi rushed in and shook hard that he finally woke up Ishiguro Satozo.

"Ligengawajun, what's wrong?"

Ishiguro Sadazo stretched and asked lazily.

"Teacher Commander, I'm in trouble." Ligankawa Yong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Just just now, there was a warning post on the south side of the camp at the same time, and tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army were found!"

"Ten thousand Eighth Route Army?" Ishiguro Sadazo suddenly tightened when he heard this.

After listening again, Satozo Ishiguro realized that the gunshot did not come from the direction of the pig's mouth, but clearly came from the east and south sides of the pig's mouth, about three kilometers away.

This distance has almost advanced outside the military camp of their division.

At that moment, Ishiguro Satozo took Rikinawa Ao to the outside of the Fangding tent. Looking around, I saw that the entire barracks of the 28th Division had been alarmed. Countless lights were lit up in the camps of the artillery corps, search corps, chariot brigade, baggage corps and field hospitals, as bright as daylight.

The camps of the three infantry corpses on the periphery were relatively calm, and they could even be said to be pitch black.

However, Ishiguro Sadatsu knew very well that this was not because the three infantry corps were slack, but because the camps of the three infantry corps were on the periphery of the entire division camp and needed to face the enemy's attack. Therefore, too many lights would be turned on, which would only expose the target to the enemy's gun. Only fools would do this.

Of course, there were only two infantry regiments left in the camp at this time.

And it is not a fully organized corps, and there are actually only about four brigades of troops.

There was also a dissatisfied corps at this time, which was on the hillsides on both sides of the pig's mouth to protect the engineers and build roads.

Looking further outside, you can see flowing light pouring out on the distant hillside. Needless to say, these are definitely the trajectory of the stray bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army.

Judging from the trajectory distribution of stray bullets, there are Eighth Route Army in the east and south directions of the Zhukongkou. The Eighth Route Army pulled out the attack front width is at least seven or eight kilometers.

It gives people the feeling that people are full of people all over the mountains.

Ligengawa said sternly: "Second Commander, such a wide attack on the front is very likely to be the main force of the 386th Brigade!"

"This is impossible!" said Ishiguro Sadatsu, "During the daytime, the General had just reported that the main force of the 386th Brigade had already gone to Yunqi Town, and their target was the Southern Cluster of the Imperial Army."

"That's just the judgment of the General."

Sadato Ishiguro said: "Your General may have misjudgment, but the marching speed of the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army cannot be fake. In the evening, they had already arrived near Yunqi Town. If you want to come to kill the pig, you have to go back to Anhua to take a detour. Rigengawajun wouldn't think that the Eighth Route Army can march for 80 kilometers in four hours, right?"

Ligengawa Yu said: "Maybe there is a small path from the Black Wind Inlet to the Pig Killing Inlet?"

"This is impossible." Sadatsuzo Ishiguro said, "There is a Heiyun Mountain between the Black Wind Quest and the Pig Killing Quest. Crossing mountains and ridges and walking on small roads will only take more time than walking on the big road."

Just as the two old Japanese were arguing, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in the night sky ahead.

Hearing this short and sharp whistling, Sadatsu Ishiguro and Erikawa suddenly changed their faces.

"Eighth Route Army artillery attack, please be careful!" Ligengawa Yukawa rushed and threw Satozo Ishiguro to the ground.

Almost the moment the two Japanese fell to the ground, a shell had landed twenty meters away and exploded with another bang.

The air waves generated by the explosion instantly overturned the square top tent of the division headquarters. The canvas table, canvas stools and canvas camp beds placed in the tent were instantly lifted into the air.

Fortunately, there was no one in the tent, so no casualties were caused.

However, Ishiguro Sadatsu had no time to be grateful for this, because he judged from the explosion that the caliber of this shell was at least 75mm, and this was not a 92 infantry cannon!

If it was just the 92 infantry artillery, it might be a small army of the Eighth Route Army.

But if it is a mountain cannon above 75mm caliber, it must be the main force.

"This is just a test firing of the Eighth Route Army artillery group!" Ligenkawa Yong made an accurate judgment almost at the same time, "Second Commander, hurry up and move to the underground command post!"

At this time, the Japanese army's good tactical qualities played a decisive role.

Although it was the attacking side, the 28th Division still did not slacken at all. It still strictly followed the combat process and built extremely strict battalion defense fortifications, including the underground command post of the division headquarters.

Before, it was just because the weather was too stuffy, so Ishiguro Sadatsu sleeps in the ground tent.

At that moment, the two old Japanese moved into the underground command post quickly. Almost the moment the two old Japanese rushed into the underground command post, rows of shells were smashed down.

Immediately, the earth was shaking, and Ligengawa Yong fell to the ground without any warning.

Ishiguro Sadazo looked out through the cannon mirror and saw that the entire military camp had fallen into a sea of ​​fire.

"Baga!" Looking at the bright redness in my sight, Ishiguro Satozo said with a dark face, "There must be at least one artillery corps, or even two corpses. It's really the main force of the 386th Brigade has arrived!"

At this time, Ligankawa Yu finally got up from the ground.

After patting the dust on his body, Ligenkawa Yong said in a deep voice: "Second Commander, report to the headquarters quickly. I am worried now that the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is likely to be attacked by us!"

"What? Take us to do it?" Ishiguro Sadazo was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

This question was something he had never thought of. The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was attacked by their 28th Division? What a joke, their 28th Division is not comparable to a third-rate division like the 69th Division!

You should know that the three infantry corpses of their 28th Division all come from permanent divisions, and the corps numbers are within forty, unlike the three corpses of the 69th Division, which are all ranked outside 200.

So, Ishiguro Sadatsu never thought that the 386th Brigade would attack them.

In an instant, a strong sense of shame surged in Shinozo Ishiguro's heart, and he felt insulted.

"Bagayaru!" Ishiguro Sadazusa said viciously, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is so arrogant. With just one brigade, they want to defeat our 28th Division? It's simply a delusion, too arrogant!"

But Rygankawa Yu kept calm enough and said, "Secretary Commander, please report to the headquarters quickly."

"No, I can't report it to the headquarters!" Ishiguro Sadatsu was furious after hearing this and said with a dark face, "Rigengawa, do you think that with our 28th Division, we can't defeat a mere brigade of the Eighth Route Army?"

After a pause, Ishiguro Sadazo said again: "Are you worried about not being able to catch the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army? Now, they actually came to the door by themselves. Now the Imperial Army is a waste of trouble, so don't report it for the time being. It will not be too late to report it when we defeat or even wipe out the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

Ligankawa Yong insisted: "Second Commander, this is a procedure."

Ishiguro Sadazo said furiously: "Rigengawakun, am I not clear enough?"

"Sorry, division commander." Ligankawa Yu still insisted on his own opinion, "I must fulfill my duties."

Speaking of this, Regengawa Ao, despite Ishiguro Satozo's firm opposition, walked into the shelter next to the command post and ordered the communications soldiers inside to send the message back to Peking via the radio.

Although Shizusaki Ishiguro was angry, he had no choice but to Renegawa Yu.

At this moment, Ishiguro Sadazo could only turn his attention back to the ground position.

But I saw that the Eighth Route Army artillery bombardment continued, and the explosions continued.

The smoke and dust generated by the explosion have completely covered the entire military camp, so Ishiguro Satozo could only see red lights flashing in the smoke that spread, but they didn't know how much the specific loss was.
Chapter completed!
