Xinkou, the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yunfei came to the forward command post of the position, lying in the trench, holding a binoculars, looking at the little devil's Xinkou position opposite.

After the last bombardment, the little devil who suffered a great loss rebuilt the Xinkou position, adding a lot of cement fortifications, but there are still a lot of civil engineering works. [

It seems that the little devil still doesn't have a long memory, and seriously underestimated the power of the heavy artillery. How could these civil engineering works withstand the bombardment of the 150 [-]mm howitzer.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch. It was 10 minutes before eight o'clock. At present, all the troops were ready for battle, and all the troops had entered the designated attack positions.

On the opposite side, the little devil's position.

At dawn today, the little devil saw a large number of Eighth Route Army on the opposite side. The number seemed to be more than last time. I don't know if there will be that terrible shelling this time.

The last time the Eighth Route Army's large-caliber howitzers bombarded, the little devil's memory was fresh, and his mind was full of lingering thoughts. The scene of the shelling was too terrifying and tragic. The shelling for an hour actually caused tens of thousands of casualties.

Fortunately, not long ago, the North China Face-to-face Army added more than 1 recruits to these two divisions. The two divisions currently stationed in Xinkou, namely the No. 30 Fourth Division and the 46th Division, have more than 4 little devils , there are more than a dozen chariots and hundreds of small mountain guns.

Although the two division commanders looked dignified, they were far from worried. They felt that although their 4-odd little devils were insufficient in offense, they should be more than sufficient in defense.

Eighth Route Army positions.

Zhang Yunfei observed in the trench for a few minutes, and saw that the little devils on the opposite side looked like they were facing an enemy, and they all entered the defensive position. Zhang Yunfei smiled casually, and waited for the little devils to suffer.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch. It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and he saw the sound of cannons coming from behind him. A few seconds later, Zhang Yunfei looked up at the sky. Liu Guang made a sharp whistling sound and flew towards the little devil's position.

The current artillery regiment is a large regiment of more than 120 people, equipped with 150 120 [-]mm howitzers, and the effect of shelling with [-] cannons can be imagined.

And this time, there are enough shells. As early as a few days ago, a large amount of shells and weapon ammunition were transported from Datong to the temporary arms warehouse in Shuozhou.

It only takes two or three hours to transport the ammunition from Shuozhou to the forward position here by car, so this time the artillery regiment can let go of their hands and feet and bombard the little devil hard.

It didn't take long for most of the 120 high-explosive shells in this round of shelling to hit the little devil's forward defensive position. Only a few shells missed slightly and exploded nearby.

Seeing the good shelling effect, Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction and smiled all over his face. It seems that the level of the artillery brigade has improved a lot recently.

On the opposite side, the head of a division of the little devil happened to be holding a telescope and was observing. When he saw the first round of shelling, hundreds of shells exploded in his front position. The telescope almost fell to the ground in fright. God, the number of large howitzers on the eighth road opposite has increased again. This time there may be hundreds of cannons.

Thinking of hundreds of large-caliber howitzers, the head of the little devil's division felt cold in his heart, and he also seemed to lack confidence in the newly built defensive position.

The shelling of the Eighth Route Army ignored the little devil's mood. The shelling has been carried out in an orderly manner. One after another, the shells exploded in the little devil's position. Under the bombardment, like paper, as long as they are hit by shells, these civil works will be blown up with mud and rocks, and the little devils inside will be blown up and disappeared.

Even the concrete fortifications repaired by the little devil were crumbling after being hit by shells, and wide cracks began to appear. As long as they were hit by shells again, they would definitely collapse. , but they couldn't tell the difference between the south, the east, and the north, and a few of them even turned pale and their eyes were dull. [

Seeing that the situation was not good, the head of the Little Devils Division quickly returned to the headquarters and sent a report to Yoshio Kozuka in Taiyuan, saying that Xinkou had been attacked by tens of thousands of troops and that there were bombardments from large howitzers, and asked for tactical guidance.

Compared with the nervousness and helplessness of the head of the little devil, Zhang Yunfei was in a good mood. He held the binoculars and said to Liu Dazhu, the deputy head next to him, "Yes, yes, this boy Wang Daquan is getting better at shooting.

While Zhang Yunfei was talking with Liu Dazhu, a correspondent ran up to Zhang Yunfei along the trench and said, "Commander Liu of the 129th Division is here, and I want to see you, Commander."

"Let's go, Dazhu, let's meet Master Liu together." Zhang Yunfei said to Liu Dazhu beside him, and after speaking, he took the lead and turned to walk into the headquarters, Liu Dazhu hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, he saw Master Liu's tall figure. Zhang Yunfei hurried forward and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Liu, you came in person and didn't say hello to me, so I can pick you up."

"You are too polite, brother. I am here to support you with troops under the command of the commander-in-chief. This time I have brought more than [-] troops. When the battle is over, brother can replenish our division with some weapons and ammunition." "Medicine".

Our teachers are no better than yours, and it is estimated that after this battle, all the remaining family assets will be wiped out. In order to continue to resist the Japanese, I have a thick face and ask my brother to replenish ammunition. "

Zhang Yunfei also felt the difficulty of the 129th Division after listening to Master Liu's words, so he said straightforwardly: "This time we are attacking the Xinkou position, our division does not want any weapons and ammunition from the little devil, and your division seizes them. After the battle is over, I will add 129 million rounds of ammunition to your 100th Division."

Although he promised Yan Xishan that all the weapons and equipment seized by the 136th Division belonged to the Jinsui Army, but on the Xinkou battlefield, Zhang Yunfei did not go to seize them at all, and Zhang Yunfei did not breach the contract if he did not give the equipment to the Jinsui Army.

The big deal is to take down Taiyuan at that time, and give all the weapons and equipment of the little devils in Taiyuan to the Jinsui army. I believe Yan Laoxi will not say anything, and there will be no dissatisfaction.

Master Liu, who was overjoyed, shook Zhang Yunfei's hand excitedly and said, "Really? Brother, you are really good."

Zhang Yunfei chuckled and said, "We're all members of the Eighth Route Army. It's okay to give more weapons and ammunition. They're all used to fight devils anyway."

"Okay, okay, I just like the person I want, my brother, and our 129th division has remembered this kindness." Master Liu also said heartily.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and walked out of the headquarters together. The shells of the artillery regiment were firing happily. Seeing such a powerful shell, Master Liu said enviously: "Your 136th Division is really rich, and the large-caliber It looks like there are at least a hundred howitzers."

"Hehe, this is all our belongings, and we managed to produce more than 100 doors." Zhang Yunfei said modestly.

"What? These guns were produced by your own base area. It's amazing, it's amazing." Master Liu couldn't believe it, and said with a face full of surprise.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei has now equipped two 150mm howitzer artillery regiments, each regiment is equipped with 120 cannons, and Zhang Yunfei concealed half of the cannons from Commander Liu.

Even so, an artillery regiment with more than 100 large-caliber howitzers made Master Liu envious. You must know that the artillery regiment directly under the 129th Division is equipped with dozens of [-]mm mountain guns and infantry guns. The [-]mm cannon once made Mr. Liu very proud.
