I am a wolf warrior

……

In Gujiayu Village.

Including Commander Sun Bin, all the soldiers and militiamen in the third division were rushing to repair the fortifications, and Carlson was also digging trenches with an engineering shovel.

Although there have been three or four consecutive days of heavy rain in Northwest Shanxi, the water seepage is not serious.

Digging out the [-] to [-] cm thick yellow mud layer on the surface, the bottom is almost dry, so there is no need to worry about the collapse of the tunnels or trenches, they simply do not exist.

But drainage of trenches and foxholes was a problem.

If it is a slope, drainage is fairly simple, but if it is on flat ground, drainage becomes a big problem.

For example, the trench that Gu Xiaobei and Carlson are digging right now happens to be on a flat ground, and it is absolutely impossible to drain water into the tunnel, so it can only be accumulated in the trench.

So to transfer the soil back and forth, you can only step on the knee-deep water.

Then if you accidentally slip your foot, you will fall into the muddy water.

After one morning, everyone became mud monkeys, including Carlson.

Gu Xiaobei approached Sun Bin and said, "Commander, this is not possible, comrades have worked too hard."

"Is there any way?" Sun Bin said with a sad face, "No matter how hard you work, you have to dig. Otherwise, after three days, the devils will come and attack us, but we have no place to hide. Wouldn't it be the end of the calf?"

Gu Xiaobei said: "Commander, I think it can be divided into two steps. First, dig a branch hole from the underground tunnel network, and stop after digging to the surface. When the weather clears, we will dig a trench at the entrance of the hole. In the end, digging foxholes outside the trenches will be much more efficient, and now it’s exhausting and inefficient, so it’s not worth it.”

"That's a good idea." Sun Bin's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's do it like this."

Now all the fighters went back to the tunnel to dig a hole.

The inside of the tunnel will be much drier.

……

The three divisions of the Shanxi Northwest Military Region, more than 1 local troops and militiamen, dug tunnels, trenches and foxholes day and night, and four days passed in a blink of an eye.

For the past four days, the Wolf Warriors have been fighting outside.

During the day, find a suitable terrain to lay an ambush, and at night, I will specifically attack the devils who are camping. Anyway, if the devils sleep, I will not sleep, and if the devils do not sleep, I will not sleep.

Except for the occasional nap between battles,

For more than 90 hours, the team members did not have a full night's sleep.

Just a moment ago, the Wolf Warriors Brigade attacked another avant-garde unit and delayed the 1st Division for at least two hours, but the Wolf Warriors Brigade could only stop there.

Because not far behind them is the county seat of Nao County.

Not only the county town, but also the weather finally cleared up.

"Captain, look quickly." Wei Xilai said excitedly, pointing at the eastern sky, "The sun!"

Including Wang Ye, the team members who were marching on the mountain road turned their heads one after another, but they saw a bright red sun really rising on the horizon in the distance.

Although there are still clouds, they can no longer cover the sun's brilliance.

"Grass!" Wei Dayong couldn't help cursing, "Finally the sky is sunny!"

Duan Peng also said: "If it rains again today, everyone will be moldy."

Wang Xikui shook off the rainwater on his body, and said, "It's all moldy."

While talking, the vanguard team had turned back, and the team leader Liang Jun said: "Captain, there is no suitable terrain ahead, and we are almost at Nao County."

"Are you in Nao County?" Wang Ye said, "Then let's stop here and go back."

Wei Dayong whispered: "Captain, we've already arrived in Nao County, why don't we go in and say hello to Commander Ding?"

When Wang Ye heard the words, his heart was moved, and he said that if there were no accidents, after the completion of the blocking mission, the Shanxi Northwest Column would definitely split up and break through. When we meet, I am afraid that we will go to Nanjing Military Academy to study.

Immediately Wang Ye called Feng Xianghe over and said, "Mouse, it's time for you to return to Jian."

"Guijian?" Feng Xianghe was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment, "Captain, I'm in the Wolf Warriors Brigade right now, what is Guijian?"

Wang Ye said: "I mean you should go back to a team. If there is no accident, after the completion of this blocking mission, our Northwest Shanxi column will definitely break through separately, so we will definitely encounter all kinds of enemies during the breakout. Dangerous, so the task of reconnaissance becomes crucial, so you have to bring a squadron back to a squadron."

Feng Xianghe stood up and saluted again: "Captain, take care then."

After all, he came from the new team, and Feng Xianghe had no objection to returning to the first team.

"Take care too!" Wang Ye shook hands and hugged Feng Xianghe and the team members from the new regiment one by one.

After sending off Feng Xianghe and the members of the first team, Wang Ye also called the butcher Yang Hu and the members of the new 2nd regiment over, and sent them back to the second team with the same rhetoric.

In the end, there were only 30 people around Wang Ye.

Wang Ye glanced over, but he saw Wei Dayong, Wei Xilai, Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng, Duan Peng, Lin Han and other familiar faces, as well as the newly joined Liang Jun.

Sure enough, people are biased.

The elites are all by Wang Ye's side.

……

In Nao County, the north gate tower.

Hearing that the devils were approaching the city and the sky had cleared up, Ding Wei hurried up to the north gate tower with Chief of Staff Li Xiaoxian.

Standing on the tower and looking down to the north, you can clearly see the Tongpu Highway and Tongpu Railway coming in parallel, but both the railway and the road have been completely destroyed by them.

"Head, the devil is here." Li Xiaoxian pointed to the north and said.

There is no need for Li Xiao to remind, Ding Wei has already seen through the binoculars that three devils have already climbed the mountain ridge in the north, as for the back of the ridge, because the view is blocked, they cannot see.

"Only three pioneers have come." Ding Wei's guard said.

Ding Wei said: "Chief of Staff, send a platoon to kill these pioneers and give the devil a gift."

However, before the words fell, several gunshots suddenly sounded from the mountain ridge in front of them, and immediately the three leading soldiers of the devils fell into a pool of blood at the same time.

Ding Wei said: "Chief of Staff, have you sent someone?"

"I don't have one." Li Xiaoxian looked confused, and then said again, "By the way, it must be a member of the Wolf Warriors Brigade."

As soon as the words fell, more than thirty people emerged from behind the mountain ridge, and rushed towards the north gate of Nao County stepping on the mud.

Still far away, Li Xiaoxian recognized Feng Xianghe and shouted: "Commander, it's a rat! It's a rat!"

After a while, Feng Xianghe and more than [-] people came to the north gate. At this time, the city gate of the north gate had been sealed, but fortunately there was a tunnel connecting the inside and outside. Ding Wei immediately sent someone to take Feng Xianghe and them into the city. .

As soon as Feng Xiang and the others entered the city, a large number of devils appeared on the northern mountain ridge.

The 1st Division is really approaching the city.

Chapter 569

Anhua County.

The brigade commander and Li Yunlong have also boarded the south gate tower.

Standing on the tower of the South Gate and looking down into the distance, you can already see the queue of Japanese troops coming along the Tongpu Highway.

"The devil is here." The brigade commander said in a deep voice, "he is finally here."

While speaking, Li Xia also hurriedly boarded the tower.

Li Xia reported: "Brigade Commander, devils have also been found in Nao County and Ping'an County."

"As expected." The brigade commander snorted, "The devils came quite neatly."

Speaking of this meal, the brigade commander turned his head and asked Li Yunlong again: "Li Yunlong, are you all ready?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said again: "Brigade Commander, you just put a thousand hearts on it. According to your instructions, our three detachments have already prepared, and we guarantee that the devils will be smashed in Anhua County!"

The brigade commander nodded, and then said: "I'm not worried about your three teams, I'm not worried about the first and second teams, I'm worried about the first and second divisions, but fortunately, the weather has just cleared up, and even the highway They are all muddy, not to mention the small roads and mountain roads, so the first and second divisions will not be attacked within three days."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brigade Commander, don't worry. Didn't Xiao Wang say it? It's fine to stay for half a month."

The brigade commander sighed: "But after all, it's just a war game on the sand table. Who dares to say what the actual combat result will be? After all, devils are not pawns, and Neiji Okamura is not a marionette!"

Now Li Yunlong couldn't answer.

……

Ningji Okamura has arrived in Taiyuan.

The 1st Army Command has also become the temporary headquarters of Ningji Okamura.

Yusue Seizo, along with Masao Inamori and several other combat staff officers, had already displayed the latest situation of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army on the sand table. Ten divisions were divided into four groups, and they had already entered Nao County, Anhua County and Outside Ping'an County, a semicircular encirclement was formed for the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi, the commander of the 1st Army, sighed: "It is really unimaginable that ten divisions have gathered in a combat depth of less than [-] kilometers. This force is too dense."

Yoshimoto Teiichi seems to be expressing emotion, but in fact there is a hint of sarcasm.

That means, Neiji Okamura, do you know how to use soldiers?Can so many troops gather together to expand?

"What's the matter?" Arisue Seizo retorted firmly in Okamura Neiji's position, "The depth of the battle in the first two stages of the Songhu Battle was only less than 20 kilometers. Have you established five divisions? And those five divisions are permanent divisions with a four-unit system, with a total strength of more than [-] troops!"

"Although there are many divisions gathered in Northwest Shanxi right now, the total strength is only 15."

Speaking of this meal, Yusue Seizo said again: "Considering the reduction in personnel in the early stage, the actual strength of the imperial army participating in the second phase of the battle is only 12! The depth of 12 kilometers, [-] people, is it very dense? "

"Hey, that's not what I mean." Ji Benzhen said hastily, "I mean, is it too much to mobilize ten divisions, including a tank division, just to deal with a mere brigade of the Eighth Route Army? ?”

"I have to ask your 1st Army this question." Okamura Ningji said, "If your 1st Army hadn't been defeated repeatedly, not only ruined the 2nd Guards Division and the 69th Division, but even lost Taiyuan, Therefore, providing a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and even the machinery and equipment of the arsenal, how can there be today's situation?"

"If it weren't for the 1st Army's early defeats, would I have made such a big fuss?"

Speaking of this meal, Okamura Ningji said coldly again: "Does Yoshimoto-kun hope that the imperial army will fail again and send another batch of supplies to the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?"

Yoshimoto Teiichi stopped talking now.

Neji Okamura snorted coldly, and said again: "It takes all your strength for a lion to fight a rabbit, not to mention that the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is not a harmless rabbit to humans and animals, but a beast! Mobilizing ten divisions to carry out the sweep may cause a lot of trouble. There is suspicion of wasting troops, but it is better than failing due to insufficient troops."

Speaking of this meal, he said: "What's more, ten divisions may not be too many in terms of the current situation, but the generals are enough. The [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is more ferocious than you can imagine! You idiots, do you still think that the [-]th Brigade is the [-]th Brigade from two years ago?"

Okamura Ningji said this very bluntly.

Including Yoshimoto Teiichi, the people at the 1st Army Headquarters were immediately blushed.

But thinking about it carefully, what Neiji Okamura said seems to be correct. In the past two years, especially since this year, the combat effectiveness of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has indeed undergone a radical improvement.

At this time, Yasushi Inoue, the head of the Communications Section, walked in and handed over a telegram to Arisue Sei San.

有末精三看完向冈村宁次报告道：“大将阁下，第1、71、72、73、74师团以及战车第3师团已经在崞县、平安县及安化县城外全部展开，但是由于山路泥泞，骡马难以通行，所以第26、27、75、110师团暂时还没办法展开。”

"As expected." Okamura Ningji said, "The two wings are not in a hurry."

After a pause, he continued: "Let's start with the three counties on the front."

At this time, Takuya Mizuhara quietly exited the battle hall.

……

Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Tower.

Chang Kaishen, He Jingzhi, Chen Cixiu and other senior generals have already gathered in the combat hall on the first floor.

However, what is shown on the sand table in the hall is not the battlefield in western Zhejiang, but the battlefield in northwest Shanxi.

Obviously, Chang Kaishen and a group of senior generals of the party and state are more concerned about the victory or defeat of Northwest Shanxi at this time, because the victory or defeat of this battle is likely to be related to the direction of North China.

"Principal." Tang Zong hurried in.

"The Taiyuan Station of the Military Command has sent another secret message."

"Quick." Chang Kaishen said, "Quickly put it out."

Tang Zong replied yes, and started the sand table work with a few staff officers.

In less than 10 minutes, Tang Zong and the others had already completed the sand table operation, fully presenting the latest movements of the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi on the huge sand table.

After seeing the situation on the sand table, all the senior generals present were stunned.

"My God." Chen Cixiu said, "Ningji Okamura really used ten divisions?"

"It's unbelievable." He Jingzhi also said, "In the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army only invested five divisions in the first two stages. Now, in order to deal with a mere brigade of the Eighth Route Army, they actually used ten What a division! Is the [-]th Brigade really making Neji Okamura so afraid?"

Bai Jiansheng said: "Brother Jing, the ten divisions in Northwest Shanxi are still incomparable with the five divisions that participated in the Songhu battlefield. The five divisions that participated in the Songhu battle were all permanent Divisions, each division has a full staff of nearly 3 people, including nearly 4 reserve soldiers, and five divisions have 20 people."

"The fighting power of those five divisions is really not ordinary."

"These ten divisions in Northwest Shanxi, only the first division can still be seen."

"Oh, by the way, there is also the 28th Division that is also an elite group, but it has already been eaten by the [-]th Brigade."
