At five o'clock in the morning, a trace of fish belly white has already appeared in the eastern sky.
The Jinsui Army, which had been attacking fiercely all night, finally gave up. As a green signal flare was launched into the air, the Jinsui officers and soldiers who had just launched a desperate charge towards the Japanese defense line turned around and retreated. In less than a moment, they were gone from
The battlefield was completely evacuated, and even the bodies of their fallen comrades were taken away with them.
The battlefield that had been filled with excitement just now suddenly fell into deathly silence.
In Pingding City, the headquarters of the 80th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.
"Order..." Colonel Suzuki Kenji, commander of the 80th Infantry Regiment, suddenly turned around and ordered to Lieutenant Commander Shigekura Kama, the deputy commander, "The 3rd Infantry Regiment will step up its rest and replenish ammunition until the Shimen Air Force stationed in Taiyuan arrives.
, that is, launch a counterattack against the Chinese Army and regain the position lost last night!"
"Your Excellency, Colonel, do you want the 3rd Infantry Brigade to withdraw to the city to rest?" Kamakura Shigekura said worriedly, "The 3rd Infantry Brigade has been fighting fiercely with the Chinese Army all night, with heavy casualties, and the officers and soldiers have been greatly exhausted mentally and physically. Why not
Move the 1st Infantry Battalion or the 2nd Infantry Battalion outside the city?"
"Shigekura-kun." Suzuki Kenji waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "The defense battle to quell the peace will be a protracted war of attrition, and it will never end in three or five days. We must make a reasonable deployment of troops. The infantry 1st
The brigade and the 2nd Infantry Battalion must not act rashly and cannot go into battle for at least three days."
Shigekura Kama insisted on his opinion: "Your Majesty Colonel, if the Chinese Army launches another surprise attack, I am worried that the 3rd Infantry Brigade will collapse due to lack of physical strength..."
"Shigekura-kun." Suzuki Kenji said coldly, "It's already dawn. Do you think the China Army will risk being bombed by the Imperial Air Force to attack?"
Kamakura Shigekura was silent, a hint of fish belly white has indeed appeared in the eastern sky. In half an hour at most, the sky will be bright. In another forty minutes, Shimen's aviation bombers stationed in Taiyuan will be able to take off normally and arrive for bombing. Look
It seems that the Chinese *** team will indeed not launch another attack.
Niangziguan, the forward headquarters of the 39th Army.
Dong Qiwu, the commander of the 101st Division of the Jinsui Army, and Li Mingding, the chief of staff, walked into the war room with dark faces. They first saluted Yue Weihan with a slap in the face, and then Dong Qiwu's face fell down, and he said in a very depressed tone: "Commander Yue, you are humble.
You are incompetent and failed to take down the county seat. Please punish me."
Yue Weihan just stepped forward and patted Dong Qiwu on the shoulder.
The forward observation post has already reported the entire war process to the forward headquarters in detail. The heroic performance of the 101st Division of the Jinsui Army has also been greatly recognized by Yue Weihan and others. Needless to say, the officers and soldiers of the 101st Division are all good. Jinsui Army
All the officers and soldiers of the army are also good, and they have not disgraced the ***!
Group Army Chief of Staff Liu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Commander Dong, although your 101st Division failed to capture Pingding County, it caused great damage to the Japanese troops outside the county and greatly consumed the Japanese army's energy.
The troops' offensive has laid a solid foundation. If we win this battle, the 101st Division will be credited with the first victory!"
"Huh?" Dong Qiwu said in astonishment, "You are sitting down and you want to continue fighting?"
Li Mingding also said with confusion on his face: "It's almost dawn, why are you still fighting?"
"Just because it's almost dawn, we have to continue fighting!" Yue Weihan said with a smile, "Before, whether it was the Battle of Qinghe, the Battle of Shimen or the Battle of Niangziguan, our army always launched attacks at night, but chose locations during the day.
Hidden, so the little Japanese will definitely have an illusion and take it for granted that we will only attack at night."
Liu Yi continued: "If you really think so, you are totally wrong."
"Soldiers are deceitful! Since it's a war, how can we stick to the rules? This time we have to catch him unawares during the day." Yue Weihan suddenly showed a cunning smile on his face, and continued, "This is our ancestor.
The essence of the art of war passed down to us is to take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared!"
Dong Qiwu and Li Mingding looked at each other in awe. They finally had a preliminary understanding of Yue Weihan's tactical command ability. No wonder this guy has been able to repeatedly defeat the Japanese army and create miracles since the emergence of Sihang Warehouse. Yue Weihan's leadership and training of troops
Let’s not talk about his level, but his tactical command ability is enough to be proud of.
Forward position.
At dawn, the battlefield was completely silent.
Chu Zhongtian quietly entered the attack position with his teaching team.
The teaching brigade directly under the Thirty-ninth Group Army is a special force. It is composed of 200 officer students who have just graduated from the Central Military Academy and 300 combat backbones transferred from the main regiments of the Baoshan Division. The 500 team members are all officers with military ranks.
The lowest rank is also second lieutenant, and most are lieutenants.
After Tang Dashan, Chu Zhongtian finally entered the front-line troops and began to lead troops.
Although the teaching brigade is only a battalion-level unit, due to the special nature of the unit, the level was adjusted to the regiment level. Chu Zhongtian's military rank also became colonel. The deputy captain Li Chusheng was a student who returned from studying in the United States and worked as a translator for Helen.
Baby, what is carried on the leader's shoulders now has the rank of lieutenant colonel.
This was a surprise attack and a gamble, betting that the Japanese would relax their vigilance.
The 200 officer cadets who had just graduated from the Central Military Academy were participating in combat for the first time and seemed a little nervous.
The 300 veterans drawn from the main regiments of the Baoshan Division have already participated in countless battles, so they appear calm and composed. They just do what they have to do. If they have nothing to do, they just close their eyes and take a nap. Anyway, they will never waste their precious time and
Energy is wasted in tension and fear.
Chu Zhongtian was loading bullets into the magazine of the cleansing box. This guy also had a particularly wide and heavy bullet bag slung on his shoulder. However, the bag contained not rifle bullets, but dozens of large bullets.
Four-edged coffin nails, these coffin nails are thirty centimeters long, and the tips are all sharpened!
"Captain, do these things work?" Yang Donglin, who was next to him, suddenly came up to him, smacked at the bag on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder, and said, "Are you bluffing?"
Yang Donglin is the cadet with the best performance in various subjects among this batch of officer cadets.
Yang Donglin was extremely excited to be able to join the heroic unit of the Baoshan Division. With his outstanding achievements, he will definitely win the favor of Commander-in-Chief Yue. In addition, there is a general lack of grassroots officers now, and no matter how bad it is, he can still cause trouble in the front-line troops.
He was a battalion commander, but after arriving at Jingxing Pass, the cruel reality dealt him a heavy blow.
Yue Weihan did not recruit 200 students into the front-line troops, but formed a teaching brigade!
What makes Yang Donglin even more intolerable is that Commander-in-Chief Yue actually appointed a guy who couldn't read a few Chinese characters and had never attended any military academy to be the captain of the teaching brigade. In Yang Donglin's view, he was chosen at random among the 200 military cadets.
There is no one who is more qualified than Chu Zhongtian to serve as this captain. Of course, the most qualified one is Yang Donglin.
Therefore, Yang Donglin and other officer cadets looked down on Chu Zhongtian, the captain of the teaching brigade, from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Zhongtian ignored him. Yang Donglin and other officers and students looked down on him. How could he look down on these "scholars"?
If it weren't for Yue Weihan's insistence, Chu Zhongtian would rather serve as a company commander in a certain main regiment than be the captain of the Lao Shizi teaching brigade. In Chu Zhongtian's opinion, the 300 veterans in the teaching brigade are all real good soldiers.
But these 200 officers and cadets are so fucking stupid. Their guns may not be very accurate, but they can't hold them down one by one. Why?
"Bluffing!?" Li Chusheng, who was sitting next to Chu Zhongtian, couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "Within 30 meters, if the captain wants to shoot you in the left eye, he will never shoot through your right eye."
"Hey." Yang Donglin said suddenly, "Who believes it?"
"How about you give it a try?" Li Chusheng said coldly.
"Just give it a try." Yang Donglin said coldly, "Those who come from the Central Military Academy are not intimidating!"
"Shut up, everyone!" Chu Zhongtian said coldly, "Check the equipment more quickly and start the attack in five minutes!"
"Captain, why do you have to wait another five minutes?" Yang Donglin frowned and asked, "What's wrong with attacking as early as possible?"
"Didn't you see that smoke is already rising from the kitchen opposite?" Chu Zhongtian said coldly, "In five minutes, the little devil will have breakfast. Then we will catch him off guard!"
"They are both from the Central Military Academy, but why is the gap so big?" Li Chusheng said suddenly, "Originally, I thought that everyone who came from the Central Military Academy could be as capable as the commander-in-chief. But now I know, it turns out that the Central Military Academy
Among the students trained by the military academy, there are not only elites like the commander-in-chief, but also...that, you know."
Yang Donglin was furious and was about to retaliate when a group of Jinsui troops suddenly came up.
A colonel from the Jin-Sui Army came forward and asked as he walked: "Colonel Chu, who is Colonel Chu?"
Chu Zhongtian suddenly stood up, stood at attention and said: "I, Chu Zhongtian, am the captain of the teaching team."
"Colonel Chu!" the officer snapped to attention and saluted, "I, Wang Zanchen of the Jinsui Army, led 300 officers and soldiers in my unit, and requested to join the battle order of the teaching brigade!"
"This..." Chu Zhongtian looked at the colonel rank on Wang Zanchen's collar badge and frowned, "Isn't it inappropriate?"
"Just treat me as a soldier!" Wang Zanchen said solemnly, "We will resolutely obey Colonel Chu's command without any hesitation!"
Chu Zhongtian turned his head and suddenly found that there was an old man and a child behind Wang Zanchen, and the child who was only seven or eight years old was actually wearing a heavy filial piety on his body, so he said: "Colonel Wang, what's going on?"
"Alas." Wang Zanchen sighed and said bitterly, "This is Chang Dad and Hu Zi. Dad Chang's son is Hu Zi. His father is a company commander of the 301st Regiment of our 101 Division. Hu Zi's mother is
Members of the stretcher team, both of them died last night, and they are here to take revenge!"
