I am a wolf warrior

The brigade commander turned his attention to Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Wang Ye and several regiment leaders, and said solemnly: "The fraternal units of the Taiyue Military Region and the Taihang Military Region are fighting hard, and they are taking their lives to buy us time, so we There is no more time to waste here, we must return to Anhua immediately!"

"Now?" Li Yunlong said in astonishment, "Brigade Commander, it's broad daylight now. Marching in broad daylight will attract devil planes, which will increase unnecessary casualties."

Ding Wei also said: "Besides, the troops fought continuously for three days and nights, and only slept less than six hours in between. They are already very tired. Should we find a place to sleep for a few hours first?"

"No, I can't take care of these anymore." The brigade commander said, "Every minute we delay here, the brothers in Taihang Military Region and Taiyue Military Region will suffer more casualties."

After a pause, the brigade commander said again: "Tell the soldiers, don't be afraid of hardship, let alone tiredness, you must persevere! Perseverance is victory! The victory of the Shanxi Northwest Campaign is close at hand!"

Wang Ye then warned: "When marching, don't walk in a straight line, but walk in a serpentine line! This way, even if you are attacked by devil planes, you can minimize casualties."

"Yes." The brigade commander said, "take the serpentine line."

……

Taiyuan.

Inoue Yasushi walked out of the communication class quickly.

Yoshimoto Teiichi immediately asked expectantly: "Inoue-kun, how are you doing?"

"The progress is still not going well." Yasushi Inoue shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The No.30 Sixth Division and No.30 Seventh Division have even used chemical weapons, but the effect is not satisfactory."

"Damn it." Yoshimoto Sadaichi said bitterly, "This bunch of trash!"

After a pause, he continued: "A total of seven infantry brigades plus two artillery brigades, even using chemical weapons, still can't defeat the Tuba Road in Taihang District and Taiyue District."

The several staff officers present and the section chief were all silent.

Yoshimoto Teiichi turned his gaze to Shibata Shinichi again, and asked, "Shibata-kun, has the aviation reconnaissance been dispatched?"

"Don't worry, Commander, the scouts have already been dispatched." Nobuichi Shibata replied, "This meeting should have almost reached the sky above Killing Zhukou. I believe news will come back soon."

As soon as the voice fell, a communications staff officer hurried out.

"Your Excellency, Commander." The communications staff paused and said, "Aeronautical scouts report that the Eighth Route Army, in addition to leaving some cavalry to clean up the battlefield, its infantry main force is advancing along Tongpu Road to Anhua!"

"What?" Yoshimoto Teiichi suddenly turned his head to look at Mizuhara Takuya.

Mizuhara Takuya smiled wryly and said, "This is a bit beyond my expectation."

After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said again: "Two days ago, the Eighth Route Army was out at night, trying to avoid marching or fighting during the day, but today it is uncharacteristically marching during the day."

"Damn it!" Yoshimoto Sadaichi scolded, and he didn't know who he was scolding, and then said to Shibata Shinichi, "Shibata-kun, immediately dispatch all the attack planes and fighter planes of the 9th Flying Squadron to bomb the Eighth Route Army And dive and shoot, we must hold them back no matter what, and we cannot let them return to Anhua too soon!"

"But, Commander..." Shibata Shinichi said with some embarrassment.

"Our 9th Flying Regiment has run out of gasoline and aerial bombs."

"What?" Yoshimoto Zhenyi was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "How could this be?"

Shibata Shinichi said with a wry smile: "Because the supplies of our 9th Flying Regiment were robbed by the Eighth Route Army in the last Taiyuan Battle, although the Front Army Headquarters allocated some temporarily, the amount was very small, and it had already been dispatched during the previous two days' flight. All were consumed during the battle."

Chapter 507 Another Annihilation of the Whole Army

"Baga!" Yoshimoto Zhenyi said angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Hai." Nobushi Shibata paused, but he thought to himself, would it be useful to say earlier?It's not that I didn't apply for supplies from the Front Army Command, but was the result useful?

The Front Army Command should give priority to ensuring the needs of the 3rd Flying Regiment.

Because the 3rd Flying Regiment had to assist the North China Front Army in sweeping up the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region.

It is said that the gasoline and aerial bombs of the 3rd Flying Regiment are not enough, because the base camp allocated most of the gasoline and aerial bombs to the navy and the Pacific battlefield.

To put it bluntly, domestic industrial production capacity cannot keep up with demand.

Especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the demand gap was even greater.

Although the base camp had stockpiled a lot of combat supplies in the past two years, it was still stretched thin.

Yoshimoto Teiichi soon realized it, and immediately said with a dark face: "So now, we can't do anything except watch the 69th Division come to an end?"

All the section chiefs and staff officers remained silent.

At present, it seems that I can only watch.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi let out a long sigh, and sat down on the chair slumped.

In addition to his annoyance and helplessness, Yoshimoto Zhenyi found that he was actually a little lucky. Fortunately, he had just been appointed as the commander of the First Army not long ago, so the account of the destruction of the No. 60 Ninth Division was beyond his control. superior.

Otherwise, he is likely to set an ignominious record for the shortest-term army commander.

……

Let's talk about the Shanxi Northwest Column of the Eighth Route Army.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the northwestern Shanxi column rushed back to Anhua and quickly entered the outer attack position.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Artillery Regiment directly under the Shanxi West Column rushed to Anhua, and quickly built an artillery position in a large valley five kilometers away from Anhua.

Brigadier and Wang Ye are still very cautious.

Although they were not bombed by the Devils Air Corps all the way north from Killing Zhukou, the brigade commander and Wang Ye still did not take it lightly, and still built the artillery position in the middle of a large lush valley, so that even the bombers of the Devils Air Force could catch up with them. It is also difficult to find the target when it comes to bombing.

The endless green gauze tents provided excellent cover for the artillery.

Unless the Devils Air Force has the ability to carry out a carpet bombing of Baogu within a radius of more than ten kilometers, it is impossible to destroy the artillery of the Shanxi Northwest Column.

So does the devil aviation have this ability?

The answer is obviously no, there is no such ability at all.

After all, this is a green gauze tent, which cannot be burned even with sulfur bombs.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery regiment began to wash the ground with artillery fire on the outer positions of the Japanese army.

The entire shelling lasted a full hour, and a total of more than 1 shells were fired.

The simple fortifications built by the Japanese army on the outskirts of Anhua were plowed upside down.

At [-]:[-] p.m., after a short rest, the main force of the column invested six regiments of troops, and launched a sweeping general attack on the Japanese defensive positions outside Anhua!

……

Ichiro Akiyama, the commander of the Japanese army who was captured in this battle and joined the Eighth Route Army after reformation, wrote in one of his memoirs:

We know that the large forces of the Eighth Route Army have returned.

We also know that the Eighth Route Army has transferred heavy artillery units.

We also guessed that Anhua's situation would turn bad,

However, when the Eighth Route Army started shelling and launched a general offensive, we realized that the situation was far worse than we had imagined. Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in Showa 12, we have never been so desperate.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, rows of shells fell on our positions from all directions.

The artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were hidden in the cornfields a few kilometers away, and they could not be seen, but their shells poured into our positions row after row.

Due to the tight schedule, we only had time to dig trenches that were not deep.

There was not even time to reinforce the side walls of the trench with timber.

Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells fell in rows, our position became fragmented.

I curled up and tried my best to curl up into a ball before barely hiding in the newly dug anti-blasting hole.

Diagonally opposite my blast hole is the blast hole dug by Inoue-kun and Kobayashi-kun. Their blast-proof hole is very big and deep. In addition to Inoue-kun and Kobayashi-kun, three people hid in it. .

Then, when a shell fell, their bunkers collapsed.

I really want to help them, dig them out of the collapsed blast hole.

However, I dare not, because not a moment ago, when Lu Ye-kun stooped and ran in front of our bomb-proof hole, a shell fell, and we escaped by hiding in the bomb-proof hole, but Lu Ye-kun But he was blown upright, and his body disappeared from the waist down, leaving only a piece of broken flesh and blood on the ground.

Lu Ye-kun wailed for more than ten seconds before finally dying.

But his eyes never closed, and he kept staring straight at me.

Before his death, Kano Junlin had been begging me, begging me to take the suicide note in his jacket pocket back to Japan and give it to his wife.

I was afraid that I would become the second Shikano-kun, so I couldn't muster up the courage to leave my bomb hole to help Inoue-kun and Kobayashi-kun who were buried alive.

An hour later, the shelling of Eighth Route finally stopped.

At this time, there is no need to dig Inoue-kun and the others.

Because no one survives being buried alive in the ground for more than an hour.

Let them sleep forever underground in a foreign country, but Lu Ye-kun's suicide note was collected by me.

There was a sharp whistle on the ground, and Captain Kasahara roared hoarsely: "The Eighth Route Army is attacking, check the weapons and ammunition, and get into your shooting position!"

Suppressing the dizziness, I picked up the rifle and entered the shooting position.

I saw that the entire position was completely shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke, which could not be seen clearly from more than ten meters away.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, the eyes were so hot that they could not be opened, and the edge of the trench under the arm was also hot, as if it had just been roasted by a fire.

"All machine gun groups, step up and clear the shooting circle!"

"The grenadier team and the heavy machine gun team reinforce their positions!"

Captain Kasahara was still roaring at the top of his lungs: "Infantry detachment, mount the bayonet!"

I mechanically pulled out the bayonet from my waist and inserted it into the card slot, pulled the bolt to push the bullet into the chamber, and then opened the rifle safety.

Loading the bayonet in advance will affect the accuracy of the rifle, so in most cases we will not load the bayonet in advance, only in specific situations.

And today, this is the specific situation.

Because Captain Toda was worried that we would not have time to attach bayonets.

After I was ready, I turned my gaze to the side again, and I saw that Sergeant Gu Cun was leading his heavy machine gun team members, beating the ground desperately with their engineering pickaxes, trying to compact the floating soil that had been loosened by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire.

Because the recoil of a heavy machine gun is far greater than that of a light machine gun, it must have a solid ground support.

Unfortunately, however, there was no time, as the Eighth Route Army had launched a general offensive.

The first thing that sounded was the resonant charge horn of "Dud Da Da Da Du Du Du". In the following three years, I was fascinated by this sound countless times, but at this moment, I only had fear in my heart.

Accompanied by the loud and clear charging horn, there was a tidal wave of shouting and killing.

At this time, the gunpowder smoke covering the position had dispersed, and it could already be seen 100 meters away.

But I saw that countless Eighth Route Army had covered the entire land, surging up like a tide.

Those who have never experienced that kind of scene will never understand the shock and trembling of the soul when you stand on the opposite side of this wave.

The feeling cannot be described in words.

It's as if you have been abandoned by the whole world, and the only thing that fills the space between heaven and earth is your enemy, countless enemies rushing towards you.

My legs were weak at the time.

Although I have already experienced many battles.

"Shoot! Full fire, kill them for me, shoot!"

Amidst the growl of Captain Kasahara, the entire team opened fire.

Including the Tanimura heavy machine gun team that was temporarily assigned to our team, but one side of the bracket fell into the floating soil before a bullet was finished, and it could no longer shoot.

Because the muzzle jumps wildly as soon as the gun is fired, this can only waste bullets.

There was no suitable position for the heavy machine gun, so Sergeant Tanimura ordered Private Kawada to carry the heavy machine gun on his shoulders.

After barely hitting two metal spring plates, Private Kawada's shoulders and the hands holding down the heat pipe of the machine gun began to emit green smoke, probably almost roasted.

The heat of a heavy machine gun is amazing.

But Private He Tian gritted his teeth and remained silent.

But even so, the firepower did not last long.

Because a grenade fell, and it landed beside Sergeant Tanimura.

Sergeant Tanimura and Second Class He Tian were immediately overturned by the blast, and the Type [-] heavy machine gun carried on the shoulders of Second Class He Tian also fell into the trench.

First Class Kigu rushed forward to try to pick up the heavy machine gun again.

But there is no chance, because the Eighth Route Army has rushed to our trenches.

I fired a shot, missed, and then rushed out of the trench with a bayonet-loaded rifle in my hand, preparing for the final battle with the Eighth Route Army, but I was completely dumbfounded at the time.

A tall Eighth Route Army rushed towards me.
