129th Division

Like the 136th Division, the 129th Division also launched an attack on the Japanese flanks at the same time. The Japanese flank defense was relatively weak, and there were basically no cement fortifications. The only civil fortifications were also blown up by the artillery fire of the 136th Division, and several trenches dug by the Japanese were also blown up beyond recognition.

The 129th Division, which had more than 30,000 people, first dispatched five or six regiments, and nearly half of its troops launched an attack, while the remaining troops were on standby as reserves.

Most of the more than 10,000 people were holding rifles and slowly approaching the Japanese's position. Unlike the 136th Division, the 136th Division had fierce firepower and artillery support, so the soldiers could charge with confidence.

The 129th Division lacked heavy weapons, and the soldiers basically held rifles, one platoon had one or two machine guns, and one regiment used several small-caliber mortars.

A little ghost wing stationed on the flank had already discovered the soldiers of the 129th Division. At the beginning, the soldiers were all hidden, and the Japanese did not know the specific number, but now the soldiers stood up, leaned back, and used the cover of the terrain to slowly approach the Japanese's flank position.

The Japanese corps leader stood in the trenches, holding a telescope, and clearly saw the situation of the Eighth Route Army in the distance. He found that the Eighth Route Army unit opposite was different from the Eighth Route Army unit attacking head-on.

The frontal attack was obviously Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division, with well-equipped soldiers. Although the Eighth Route Army unit opposite was large, estimated to be tens of thousands, most of the soldiers were wearing shabby Eighth Route Army uniforms. In such cold weather, only a few soldiers were wearing cotton coats, and most of the soldiers were wearing single clothes.

The weapons and equipment are also different from the Eighth Route Army on the front. Most of these Eighth Route Army hold rifles, and the rifles are also diverse, made in Hanyang, Zhongzheng, Type 38, etc., and the number of machine guns is also very small. There are basically no infantry heavy firepower support weapons such as infantry artillery and mountain cannons.

Seeing this, the Japanese corps captain was also full of confusion. He quickly picked up the phone and reported the situation to his division commander, saying that a large number of Tujiao Route Army were found on the flanking positions, with an estimated number of tens of thousands.

After the call, the Japanese corps leader saw that the Eighth Route Army was getting closer, and quickly ordered the Japanese to prepare for the battle.

The Eighth Route Army, which was originally a thousand meters away from the Japanese flank position, stepped forward carefully for hundreds of meters. After walking in front of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were only two or three hundred meters away from the Japanese position.

The Japanese on the opposite side began to shoot. Although the Eighth Route Army soldiers were poorly equipped, their combat quality was not bad at all. When they saw the Japanese on fire, they all lay down, lay on the ground, raised their guns, and aimed at the Japanese on the opposite side to shoot.

Although the Japanese had more machine guns, the number of Eighth Route Army troops was absolutely superior, and they were even more in a while.

Commander Liu, who was closely monitoring the situation at the command center in the rear, saw that his troops of tens of thousands were blocked by a regiment of the Japanese, immediately ordered loudly: "Hurry up and notify the artillery regiment, fire, suppress the Japanese, and shoot all the shells, I can't do it."

Zhang Yunfei next to him saw the expression of Commander Liu, smiled slightly, and then comforted Commander Liu and said, "Brother, don't be anxious, the battle has just begun."

The Commander Liu, who felt that he had lost his composure, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was angry with the Japanese for a while, so I was a little anxious."

The 129th Division Artillery Regiment, which received the order, immediately used more than 30 70-mm infantry artillery and mountain cannons to shell the Japanese flank positions, and shells exploded on the Japanese positions.

The Japanese's firepower suddenly became weaker. Tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers saw their artillery showing their power, and immediately stood up and took the opportunity to charge towards the Japanese's position.

The first line of defense of the Japanese flank positions was broken through by the 129th Division after less than half an hour. At least thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed.

The hundreds of remaining Japanese retreated back to the second line of defense in a dilemma.

The Japanese corps captain who was watching the battle in the rear saw the 129th Division's attack smoothly, and his face turned pale. He said sternly to the chief of staff next to him: "Order the artillery squadron to shell the Chinese army that entered the first line of defense, and give them some color."

"Hi, I'll go and convey the orders." The Japanese Chief of Staff hurried into the command center, grabbed the phone on the table, and conveyed the orders to the artillery squadron.

In less than five minutes, the Japanese artillery squadron had more than a dozen Type 92 infantry artillery artillery artillery guns immediately attacked the 129th Division, which entered the first line of defense.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who had just entered the first line of defense were caught off guard by the Japanese artillery fire that suddenly arrived. Some Eighth Route Army soldiers who had not had time to hide were bombed to the ground by shells.

Seeing that his artillery was playing a role, the Japanese corps captain said to the chief of staff next to him with joy, "Yo Xi".

The movement here was clearly seen through the telescope by Zhang Yunfei. Seeing so many Eighth Route Army soldiers sacrificing under the Japanese artillery fire, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly said to the correspondent: "Import the Artillery Regiment quickly and blow the Japanese artillery position away."

Wang Daquan, who received the order, quickly commanded an artillery battalion and thirty cannons, turned the gun mouth, aimed at the Japanese flank positions, and fired at the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese's Type 92 artillery squadron, with more than a dozen small-caliber cannons, was a tragic situation in front of the large-caliber howitzer. Only a few rounds of artillery fire were used, hundreds of shells bombed the Japanese artillery positions into the sky.

Seeing that the Japanese artillery position that posed the greatest threat to him was removed by a friendly army, tens of thousands of soldiers from the 129th Division cheered happily.

He also began to check weapons and ammunition, preparing to attack the Japanese's second line of defense. When the Japanese on the flank saw their artillery being knocked away by the Eighth Route Army's large-caliber howitzers, they were full of despair. Nearly 2,000 Japanese who lost artillery support, lost their artillery fire support. Under the attack of tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army, it was only a matter of time before the defense line was broken.

When the Japanese corps leader saw this scene, he was very scared. He quickly grabbed the phone on the table, called his division commander and asked for support.

The Japanese detachment leader didn't know that his division commander was in a very bad mood now. The front line of defense was blown up by the fierce artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. Then the Eighth Route Army dispatched tens of thousands of people to charge.

The first line of defense in front lasted less than twenty minutes and was broken by the sharp offensive of the Eighth Route Army. An infantry corps stationed at the first line of defense was almost broken, with only two or three hundred people withdrawing back to the second line of defense.

At present, the first line of defense on the front has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is resting and chatting inside the first line of defense to replenish ammunition.
