Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "After these few days of hard fighting, both Wang Guangyu and Du Kaishan have suffered considerable casualties. They are in urgent need of additional troops. Wang Guangyu is still finishing the battle in southern Yilan. In addition, we must use no less than one brigade of troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the eastward detachment of the Sixth Division."
"Moreover, they also planned to advance westward and outflank the 14th Division's retreat, in order to confuse the enemy's Japanese army's judgment of the battlefield situation and the posture they made to mobilize the 11th Division. Therefore, within three days, one The main force of the vertical movement cannot be transferred eastward for the time being."
"On the way the chief of staff and I came, we received intelligence that the 29th Division stationed in Muling to take over the defense of the 8th Division had been marching towards Yilan with no less than two regiments of troops at night. Bolli front-line reinforcements. In view of the current situation, the original plan of the fifth brigade to rush to your left and Du Kaishan on your right to form an encirclement of the Eighth Division can only be temporarily changed."
"Now the fifth brigade has changed its original combat plan on the way eastward and joined the central Boli battlefield to cooperate with the second brigade to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the westward detachment of the sixth division. Moreover, they will also use a force to protect your On the flanks and rear, block the 29th Division's northward advance, especially your detour, attract the attention of the Japanese army, and cover the expansion of Du Kaishan."
"Although Du Kaishan can guarantee to arrive on time, they are more used as a surprise force, which means that they will not be dispatched easily until the critical moment. No matter how hard the fight here is, there is no order from the headquarters. They will not attack, and their previous combat casualties are in urgent need of replacement. Even if they arrive on time, they will not be able to participate in the battle for at least two days."
"Whether you can hold back the third detachment of the 10th Division and lure out the main force of the 11th Division is very important to the headquarters. You must grasp the rhythm of the battle. You must not only hold the position, but also ensure that you cannot let the enemy out. The 11th Division noticed something and retreated."
Before Yang Zhen could even finish his last sentence, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from the front line that had been quiet just now and seemed to be completely silent.
When Tao Jingfei heard the sound of gunfire, he was slightly startled. He immediately sensed that something was going on at the front line. He immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call the front line, at least to understand what happened.
But when he picked up the phone, he found that the call had been disconnected, and he couldn't get through no matter how he tried. Tao Jingfei, who was a little anxious, ignored the fact that the commanders of Military Region No. 1 and No. 3 were right in front of him, so he grabbed the two tiles beside him to call. The dual-purpose communication machine does not use code words and directly calls the front line positions in plain language.
The extensive use of walkie-talkies has indeed brought unexpected convenience. The field telephone lines have been cut off, but Yang Zhen's troops have been equipped with walkie-talkies at the company level. This communication tool is close to the distance, but extremely convenient at this time. played a key role.
As soon as Tao Jingfei started calling, Ma Fengqi, commander of the Second Independent Brigade, who was urging the troops on the front line to seize the time to build fortifications, replied from the other end of the intercom: "Just now, the Japanese army suddenly attacked with the main force, supplemented by small groups of troops. Using infiltration tactics, they launched a fierce attack on the front-line positions."
After receiving the answer from the front line, Tao Jingfei confirmed again with some disbelief: "This is impossible. According to the investigation, the Japanese army, which is seizing the time to adjust its deployment, is now at least fifteen kilometers away from the Laoheibei line. How could it be possible? Suddenly appeared on the front line of Laoheibei, and the minefield in front of our forward position has been deployed, it is impossible for them to attack directly without even clearing the mines."
Hearing Tao Jingfei's unbelievable tone, Ma Fengqi over there said directly: "Political Commissar, it's true. You can now hear the firing of the rifle machine gun from my side, as well as the explosion of Japanese artillery shells. Xiao The Japanese troops are now concentrating at least one brigade to launch a fierce attack on the front line of Futun, our army. The Japanese army moved very suddenly, as if they emerged from the ground. The place where the attack was initiated was not even 500 meters away from our front line positions. "
"And from the confessions of the two wounded Japanese soldiers captured when we just repelled the first round of Japanese offensive, we learned that when we retreated, the Japanese were not too far away from me and kept biting us. Their forwards were not far away. We are only five kilometers away, but they keep attacking."
"While we were repairing the front-line fortifications, two light-armed brigades from the 63rd Regiment of the 10th Division of the Little Devils and two squadrons of the 11th Division had arrived. One of them was lurking in front of our position. meters of place.”
"Just now, under the cover of a small number of infantry artillery and four mountain artillery, a large group of troops suddenly launched an attack on our front-line position. Listen, there is almost no pause in the sound of gunfire here. It is the Japanese army. They are launching a fierce attack on our front-line positions."
"Before launching the attack, this Japanese army did not clear mines at all. They directly used people to forcibly walk out the attack line from the minefield, and did not conduct any fire reconnaissance. They directly came up and launched a full-line attack with the squadron as the organization. They They didn't even fire flares before the attack was launched, they just launched the offensive in the dark, and they didn't fire flares until they stepped on a mine."
"While launching an attack on our front-line positions with a brigade of troops, on the flanks, two squadrons of troops adopted the tactics of small groups of troops and multiple penetrations to penetrate me in depth. I was doing my best to repair the flank troops of the fortifications. He was unable to prevent himself and was infiltrated into multiple squadrons."
"I have now mobilized a battalion of troops and am doing my best to suppress them. However, this group of devils is very cunning. The suppression troops have captured them several times but they have been able to break free. After this group of devils cut off the phone line between the front line and the headquarters, , the troops are divided into two groups, they are entangled with the suppression troops all the way, and they are charging deep into me. Now maybe this group of devils followed the phone line and reached the headquarters. You must be more careful."
Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun heard the answer on the other end of the walkie-talkie clearly. Tao Jingfei looked at Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ma Fengqi on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Don't let the Japanese enter the rear positions. No matter what, I will handle it. You are at the front and must block the Japanese attack. You must not let the Japanese break through our front-line positions. I will order the artillery to fully support you."
Putting down the walkie-talkie in his hand, Tao Jingfei took off a submachine gun from the wall of the headquarters. After loading the bullet, he raised his head and heard that more than a squadron of Japanese troops were infiltrating deeply. They might even rush directly to the headquarters. , but acted calmly, and said to Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, who were watching his disposal with interest: "No. 1, No. 3, you stay here with me, I will immediately mobilize a battalion to protect you."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "Nonsense, what kind of battalion should I transfer? Not to mention that the Japanese might not be able to touch here. Even if they can touch here, there is a company from the headquarters security battalion here, as well as one of your security companies, the Du Er Brigade." The strength of one reconnaissance company and three companies cannot protect us."
"You can just keep the guard company we brought here. As for the other troops, you can move them to the back to protect the artillery positions. I can tell you that what I brought this time is the top priority. If you lose one to me, I can't spare you."
"With that battalion of troops to protect us, we might as well seize the time to wipe out this Japanese army. Lao Ma's artillery is about to arrive. At this juncture, it is not a good thing to sneak in more than one squadron of Japanese troops. First, it is easy. Exposing the firepower of our army is also a threat to the artillery."
"And you, what are you going to do with a gun? You are the commander here, and your position is here. You, the commander of the army, are required to go there in person to eliminate the Japanese troops that have infiltrated. The people below are just doing it for free. Yes, you will personally command the cleanup. If there is any accident in the forward position at this time, who will coordinate the overall situation and report to whom?"
"The two of us are not here to command your troops for you. You just stay here and take command. You are not allowed to go there. It is the responsibility of the battalion and company commander to charge into the battle. It is not your turn as the commander. Go in person, if you are disturbed, go into battle in person with your arms rolled up and your sleeves exposed. I will use these commanders, so why should the political commissar sit here?"
When Tao Jingfei heard Yang Zhen's reprimanding words, he hesitated for a moment, then put down the submachine gun in his hand and called to Lin Feng, the deputy chief of staff of the division whom he had brought from the first division, who was on standby outside: "Take my rifle with you immediately. The guard company and the reconnaissance company of the Second Brigade will carry out careful clearing operations against the Japanese troops that have penetrated into the deep positions of our army, and we will definitely eliminate this infiltrating Japanese army as quickly as possible."
"Also, you can send two companies to me to protect the artillery position. There must be no mistakes there, and these devils must not be allowed to come within 500 meters of the artillery position."
Lin Feng heard Tao Jingfei's explanation, took the submachine gun handed over by Tao Jingfei, and said neatly: "Political Commissar, don't worry, I promise to complete the task. I will definitely eliminate this group of devils in the shortest possible time." After that, He saluted Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun and left in a hurry.
After Lin Feng left, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Guo Bingxun beside him: "Old Guo, do you think the Japanese's trick with us is just an imitation of others? Isn't this what we did in the battle with the Japanese Fourth Division? Are you using a latent tactic? I didn’t expect that this time the little devil would be able to do it for us."
Guo Bingxun nodded and said: "The tricks of these devils are indeed interesting, but they are still a little bad at this. If it were us, we would have to wait for a while, at least two hours later, and wait. The more we sleep more deeply and relax more, the more effective we will be when launching an attack. To be honest, this little devil is not as calm as you before."
