"The 26th Division was disrupted by the intensive firepower of the 1st Guards Division. They certainly had no chance to send a request for help or an early warning telegram to the outside world. The southern cavalry brigade was still marching towards Wuyuan without any hesitation or retreat. The Japanese army

The two reinforcements must have come and gone!"

Lu Zhuoran pointed at the map with excitement and said to Jiang Dong and everyone.

"There are still two hours until dark. Now it seems that we should be able to end the battle before dark." Li Zhaoying looked at Jiangdong,

"Should the 2nd Division move in advance? The main force of 10,000 Japanese troops was wiped out in a very short period of time. The Mongolian Army Headquarters in Guisui will definitely not have time to react. As long as we are fast enough, there is a great chance to

Tomorrow we will capture Guyang and Baotou."

Jiang Dong looked at Li Zhaoying with some surprise.

"The battle of the 2nd Division has just ended. Do the soldiers still have the strength to carry out a long-distance attack?"

Li Zhaoying and Han Mo looked at each other, with relaxed smiles on their faces at the same time. The former said:

“The most intense fighting was in the first two hours of the morning, and then all the troops were rested, and the losses of ammunition and personnel were not large.

And we came by car this time. It only takes 6 hours to drive from Guyang to Wuyuan. The soldiers can rest in the car to recover their strength and continue to attack Guyang and Baotou. It’s not a big problem!”

A gratified smile appeared on Jiang Dong's face. He did not make a decision immediately, but looked at the vast border and said:

"The Soviet Union is a bear that cannot afford to gain early. There is a lot of movement on the border now, but the Soviets cannot maintain this situation for a long time.

If we want them to take more actions, we must produce greater results.

By then, we don’t need to say anything more, the situation will force the Soviet Red Army back!”

Everyone in the headquarters listened to Jiang Dong's words quietly with serious expressions.

"Occupying Baotou and Guyang is only the first step. The troops must continue to advance eastward along the Pingsui Railway and attack the little Japanese in Shanxi from the north and south, so that the liberation war and the oil defense war can truly be combined into one!"

The Pingsui Railway is connected to the Tongpu Railway to achieve the predetermined strategic goals. Jiangdong's large infrastructure plan can be moved from southern Shanxi to northern Shanxi, connecting North China with northwest China, and even the Soviet Union as far away as possible.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Dong looked at the officers of the 2nd Division and ordered,

"The troops will rest for another two hours and set off for Guyang after dark. The staff office will contact the Hunter Brigade and the Military Intelligence Bureau in advance to obtain detailed enemy information!

The specific time of the general attack will be determined after the reinforcement operation is completed!"

"yes!"

The officers of the 2nd Division left the headquarters after saluting.

"Legion commander, what should we do with the prisoners of the Japanese and puppet troops? We don't have the extra troops to guard them?" Lu Zhuoran said with a frown.

"All the Japanese prisoners were handed over to Ifo Mizukawa, and they were temporarily left in Wuyuan to help repair the county. The puppet troops were pulled out to work as coolies for the two reinforcements."

"clear!"

…

…

The road turned into a flaming snake, the remains of weapons and equipment were flying in the flames, and the horses carrying supplies galloped in the hail of bullets, neighing, screaming, and whistling in unison!

Every moment, Japanese soldiers fell to the ground howling miserably. Many of them completely lost their minds and scurried around like headless flies in the hail of bullets. In the end, they were sent away by bullets and shells fired from a certain direction, ending their dirty work.

life.

Lieutenant General Shigenori Kuroda, commander of the 26th Division, climbed out of the burning military vehicle with blood on his face. Because blood had entered his eyes, everything he saw was blood red.

The most trusted and relied upon staff officer had been blown into two pieces, with endless pain on his gray face.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Division Commander..."

The captain of the 12th Infantry Regiment crawled to the side of Kuroda Shigenori on his hands and knees, "We were ambushed by the Chinese, and the captain of the 11th Infantry Regiment has already fallen into pieces for His Majesty the Emperor.

The tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery have all been destroyed, and the roadbed is too high. The warriors cannot find any bunkers and are being massacred!"

Two orderlies were helping Kuroda Shigenori wash away the blood on his face with a water bottle. The cold water was poured on his head. Kuroda Shigenori felt that his mind was becoming clearer.

The military doctor quickly put a bandage on his wound.

Kuroda Shigenori used this time to see clearly the situation on the battlefield. The Chinese had been prepared for the ambush. The location of the ambush was unexpected. The most important thing at the moment was to end the chaos of the troops and then choose a direction to break out.

It is simply not feasible to stand still and wait for reinforcements. First, there is no suitable terrain, and second, reinforcements are unlikely to come.

"Let the warriors not panic and retreat to the mountains behind, quickly!"

The commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment had a look of despair in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the mountain pass has been occupied by the Chinese, and their armored vehicles are attacking the artillery and baggage troops behind the team.

The only place where there are no enemies now is in the southwest!"

Kuroda Shigenori issued the order without thinking,

"All warriors should break out to the southwest immediately, and must not stay on the road and let others slaughter them!"

As for the commander, there is still the second half, which is that to the southwest is the frozen Wuliang Suhai without any bunkers. Breaking out to the southwest is a dead end.

Kuroda Shigenori had already turned his attention to other directions. The commander of the regiment sighed. He would die if he stayed where he was, and he would die if he broke out. There was no difference.

"Boom boom boom..."

The 150mm infantry artillery is the most powerful of all current artillery fires. Each shelling will take away the lives of at least 10 little devils. At the same time, the explosion of the artillery shells also left huge craters on the road, which was heartbreaking.

Japanese soldiers shivered in the crater.

…

Rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, mortars, etc. all emerged from the snow. The roaring firepower was like two burning iron chains, locking the Japanese army on the road.

The snow on the road and on both sides of the road melted in the overwhelming explosion, and the snow water was dyed light red with blood, flowing toward the shallow river beach.

Zhou Cexun and Wei Guodong did not rush to launch a charge. The Japs between the two fire lines were living targets without any bunkers. In comparison, the units of the 1st Guards Division were in a more favorable and safer position, and the soldiers could calmly charge towards them.

The little Japs shoot, but the Japs soldiers have to face bullets fired from multiple directions!

"Chi chi chi..."

The machine gunner continuously pulled the trigger, firing long bursts of fire at the little Japanese on the wolf's spine.

"Puff puff puff..."

Blood flowers are blooming!

The Japanese army did not choose to break out towards the mountain pass. An Ziliang led the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion to launch an attack under the cover of armored vehicles.

Li Kang followed the armored vehicle with soldiers from the 3rd company, shooting at the Japanese soldiers as he walked.

"Bang!"

Li Kang pointed the muzzle of the gun at the back of a Japanese soldier and pulled the trigger without hesitation. However, the moment he pulled the trigger, the back in the scope suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The bullet did not hit the intended target, but flew forward several tens of meters and hit another fleeing Japanese soldier in the thigh.

Li Kang pouted in dissatisfaction.

This has happened several times.

The target did not disappear out of thin air, but was beaten into pieces by the machine cannon mounted on the armored vehicle.

On the way to the attack, there were countless corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground. Most of them were in pieces, and very few were complete.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion stepped forward on piles of flesh and blood. Their military boots and trouser legs were wet with blood, and the soles of their shoes made a squeaking sound when they walked.

"Mother……"

A Japanese soldier's stomach was smashed, and his intestines flowed all over the floor. He was a young soldier less than 20 years old. His hands were weak and he held the intestines that flowed outside. With tears in his eyes, he called for his mother.

The pronunciation of the word "mother" is similar all over the world. Li Kang heard the cry of the young soldier. He turned his head and glanced. When he was hesitating whether to help this little devil solve his pain, the armored vehicle in front of him had stopped moving.

He rolled over hesitantly.

"Bang!"

In the battlefield where guns and artillery fired, Li Kang seemed to hear a dull explosion, like a ripe watermelon exploding in the summer sun.

The wheels of the armored vehicle ran over the faces of the Japanese soldiers. When Li Kang walked to that position, he only saw bone residue and pulpy minced meat on the ground.

His eyes paused on the meat pie for a second, and then turned back to the flesh and blood battlefield.

Living people were reduced to pulp, and the scene was tragic and bloody.

From the mountain pass to the turning point of the road, less than 1 kilometer of the road was covered with meat patties. The soldiers in the reconnaissance camp were no longer newborn calves. The bloody scene did not affect everyone's combat effectiveness, and no one lay down on the roadside to vomit.

Their attention was all on the Japs.
