At the World War II Zone Headquarters, the chief of staff rushed in with excitement!
"Commander-in-Chief, good news from the front line. We have killed all the more than 2,000 little Japs and captured nearly 2,000 puppet troops. We have won this battle!"
"good!"
A smile flashed across the commander-in-chief's serious face!
I was very happy to answer: "Old man, I know that if the Eighth Route Army can do it, our Jinsui Army can do it too!"
"Pass my order and the troops will immediately enter Datong City and set up defenses outside Datong!"
"The Eighth Route Army just sent a telegram: The Japanese and puppet troops are less than 30 kilometers away from Datong City. They are trying their best to intercept them and are expected to arrive at the outskirts of Datong City at noon tomorrow!"
"I require the forward troops to enter the city within three hours and take over Datong City!"
"The follow-up troops will be stationed at the outer defense line of Datong City before dawn!"
"We must build at least two blockades before the Japanese army comes over!"
"Although the Japanese army is coming fiercely, its total strength is only one infantry regiment, and it does not bring heavy artillery!"
"We were blocked and harassed by the Eighth Route Army along the way, and we must have lost a lot of people!"
"It is estimated that there will still be 3,000 people left after they kill the enemy!"
"We have two main divisions and one artillery regiment. No matter how hard it is, we can repel the little Japs who come to kill them!"
"Tell the division commanders not to think about preserving their strength when fighting. As long as they capture Datong City, I will replace all the soldiers, equipment, ammunition, and old men they lost on the battlefield to ensure that they are not weaker than before!"
"
"Also, after the forward troops stationed in Datong City, the theater immediately issued a successful report that we had captured Datong and annihilated nearly 10,000 Japanese troops!"
"Rumble..."
In the violent explosion, the Jinsui Army position was quickly submerged in artillery fire!
"Weng buzz..."
At the critical moment, Japanese planes also came over to help!
A set of two bombshells, drop them without any money!
Artillery and aircraft took turns to attack, and it took half an hour to stop!
More than five hundred Japanese soldiers formed a skirmish line, and under the cover of heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenades, they attacked the Shanxi-Sui Army defense line in a mighty manner!
Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and a large number of heads suddenly appeared from the Jinsui Army position that had been blown down by nearly ten centimeters!
Someone is lying in the ruins, waiting for the little devil to rush over!
Someone is wielding an engineering shovel to repair the trenches that have been damaged by the bombing!
There were also people carrying stretchers, carrying corpses and wounded out of the position one by one...
There are busy figures everywhere!
"beat……"
The frontline commander of the Jinsui Army shouted loudly, and the sound of gunshots like exploding beans rang out from the position!
In order to hold on to their position and completely occupy Datong, the Jinsui Army also fought tooth and nail!
The person in front died, and the person behind immediately rushed to meet him and continued shooting!
A heavy machine gun was blown away, and another one was immediately brought up from behind and continued shooting!
The limited mortars are still firing, and as many shells as possible are fired before the mortars are destroyed!
The two sides fought from noon to six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sound of gunfire never stopped!
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
A series of more violent explosions suddenly sounded on the battlefield!
This is the Shanxi-Sui Army Mountain Artillery Regiment firing after being silent all afternoon!
The artillery shells directly hit the middle of more than 2,000 Japanese troops, catching them off guard!
The Japanese army responded quickly and moved troops as soon as possible!
But the thirty-six mountain cannons are not vegetarian!
The shells came one after another, like rain, chasing them!
After finally withdrawing from the range of mountain artillery, the Japanese commander painfully discovered that he had lost nearly 500 men in less than five minutes of shelling!
Coupled with the offensive losses during the day, a fully equipped infantry regiment has suffered more than one-third casualties!
The garrison group set out to take position, and Xiao Yuan rushed over in a hurry!
When he saw Li Hao, he gasped and reported: "Captain, the fight is about to begin!"
"In the afternoon, the Japanese took advantage of the aircraft reinforcements and overpowered the Jinsui Army to fight!"
"As soon as the plane left, the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which had been silent all afternoon, began to counterattack!"
"A whole mountain artillery regiment with thirty-six mountain cannons fired directly at the Japs assembly area, driving the Japs back nearly two kilometers. The attacking troops were also counterattacked by the Jinsui Army, resulting in heavy casualties!"
This is the retreat opportunity that Li Hao has dreamed of!
His eyes lit up and he asked: "How is the battle situation now?"
"The Jinsui Army went against the norm and switched from defense to offense. Under the cover of artillery, they took the initiative to attack the retreating little Japanese!"
"The Japanese army turned from offense to defense and relied on three highlands ten kilometers east of the city to defend!"
Li Hao replied thoughtfully: "Jinsui Army became smarter this time!"
"Know how to take advantage of night battles and artillery fire to kill a large number of Japanese troops and reduce your defensive pressure during the day!"
"If my judgment is correct, the Jinsui Army on the front line must have received a death order to kill the more than 2,000 little Japs left on the front line at all costs!"
"As long as we kill them, even if the Japanese continue to send troops to attack Datong, it will still take time!"
"The Jinsui Army can take advantage of this opportunity to completely control Datong and build Datong into a military fortress!"
After saying that, Li Hao turned his attention to Hong Linfeng!
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese army and the Shanxi-Sui Army are fighting in full swing. This is the perfect opportunity for us to retreat!"
"It's half past seven now. Order the convoy to prepare for attack immediately. We will set off as soon as eight o'clock arrives!"
Hong Linfeng quickly replied: "Don't worry, captain, everything is ready!"
"The drivers are all miners who have joined our Eighth Route Army, so there will be no problem!"
"There is a soldier from the guard company sitting in the co-pilot!"
"There are two soldiers lying on the carriage equipment, plus three more soldiers transported by the car. The guard company and the reconnaissance company are all following the car to protect the convoy!"
"The cavalry company has been expanded to 83 cavalry by using captured war horses and cavalry found during absenteeism. They will assume the forward and rearguard tasks of the entire convoy!"
"In addition, the three main battalions, the artillery companies cooperating with the operation, and the independent battalions dispatched by the political commissar are all in place. They will launch an attack on the target when the time comes!"
"Captain, you go back to the base with the baggage team and the rest of the team, and I'll go back to the base with the team on the road!"
Li Hao shook his head and ordered: "No!"
"I made the entire retreat plan, and I must personally take command to ensure that there are no accidents during the retreat!"
"Let's switch. You take the mountain road and I follow the car on the highway. That's it!"
"Start taking action now and try to get back to the base before dawn!"
"There are still several Japanese brigades there to block us. The first thing the troops will do after returning is to defeat them with lightning speed. Then they will wait for you to return to the base area to set up an arsenal, restore strength, and build a powerful garrison.
