Chapter 0748 The Battle Begins

The night is cold as water.

On the right wing of the fifth war zone, the 33rd Army Group Army on the north bank of the Xianghe River, on the Changshoudian forward blocking position, except for a few soldiers on alert.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the 55th Division of the 74th Army fell into a deep sleep.

Although I don't know when Zhong Xiang's Japanese army will attack, but people have to sleep. If they don't sleep, how can they get energy for the next day?

Several anti-tank trenches have been dug in front of the blocking position, and barbed wire fences have been pulled up to clear the shooting area to ensure that when the Japanese army rushes over, there is nothing to hide.

The semi-permanent fortifications hide the underground firepower points and form cross firepower points, which is enough to make the Japanese army come and go.

Facing the Japanese army armed to the teeth, the 74th Division from the Northwest Army could not be compared with the direct line troops of the Central Army.

After several wars, the 74th Division has less than 7000 officers and soldiers.

Facing the upcoming battle, the division commander Li Hanzhang in the headquarters was frowning, and learned from the frontier investigation.

There are nearly 3 Japanese troops that I am about to face. In addition to a whole division of the Japanese army, there is also a unit drawn from Central China.

With such a large group of enemies, for the 74th Division, this is an absolute crushing force.

Three days ago, the Group Army Command suddenly activated a new code, and required the old code to continue to be used, and asked to write a fake report. The real communication used the new code.

He didn't understand why the secret code was suddenly changed when the war was imminent. Did this cause confusion to the command below?

But as a soldier, he also knows that once the secret code is deciphered, his own actions will be in the hands of the enemy.

This battle is sure to suffer a big loss.

Although I was a little unhappy about the sudden change of the password, because it was too sudden, I hardly gave the following any time to prepare.

But he obeyed the order anyway.

"Master, go to sleep for a while. I'll watch over here for you. If there is any movement, I will wake you up." The adjutant came over and whispered in his ear.

Li Hanzhang raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock at night. According to the time, it should be May 5st.

"I'm right next door, let me know immediately if something happens." Li Hanzhang nodded.

……

Not far from the position is a large area of ​​fertile fields. The breeze blows, and the green wheat fields rise and fall like waves.

The ray of moonlight in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sky became even darker.

rustle……

what is this sound?

The little soldier Fulgen, who woke up after urinating, shuddered after urinating, and heard a strange sound, so frightened that he ran back to the artillery hole in the trench and woke up his squad leader.

"Squad leader, listen, what is this sound?"

"What, is there any movement?" Hearing this, the squad leader sat up abruptly, and listened for a while. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound in his ears.

"What's the matter, don't be nervous, go to bed quickly, and get up in the morning to change shifts." The squad leader rolled up his sleeves, held the gun again, and closed his eyes in a comfortable position.

Fulgan felt that he heard correctly, he ran out again, and ran towards the direction where he peed just now.

Lie down on the ground.

That voice came again.

Very neat, very close, like the feeling of countless ants lining up to scratch on the heart, which makes people very uncomfortable.

hula la...

Fulgan has poor eyesight and night blindness, but his ears are not bad. He has never heard such a sound on the battlefield before.

He returned to the artillery hole in the trench again, and woke up the squad leader who had just fainted. "Squad leader, I think there is something wrong with this voice."

"Fulgan, what are you doing, can I kick you out, get out, don't disturb everyone's sleep!" The tall and burly machine gunner next to him was dissatisfied, opened his eyes, and opened his mouth to curse.

"Zhao Luzi, who are you, Fu Gener is the lucky general of our class, you forgot that without him, our class would have died several times..."

"It's all noisy, Fu Gener, I'll take a look with you." When the squad leader thought of this, he sat up and greeted Fu Gen, and the two walked out of the blast hole.

The two came to the place where Fu Gener peed just now, which was already the front of the position, because the shooting range was cleared.

The view here during the day is excellent, but at night, when it is too dark, you can only see some blurred shadows.

The squad leader's ears are not as good as Fugen's, but he does not have night blindness, and he can see farther than Fugen, but it is only about 30 meters in front of the position.

The national army is poor. According to the rules, searchlights are required for forward positions, especially if the war is imminent, without searchlights, it is easy to be attacked at night.

As for flares, don't worry about them. Flares are more expensive, and the Japanese are not willing to use them. The national army wants to use them, but they don't!

No searchlights, no flares, what to do, we still have flashlights!

This is the most valuable possession on the squad leader.

The squad leader carefully took out the flashlight from his bag, pushed on the switch, and suddenly a beam of light shot towards the opposite side of the position.

Before the squad leader got used to the lights.

Suddenly, he saw a spark flashing in the opposite wheat field. After many battles, the squad leader recognized it naturally. It was a gun flame!

Immediately afterwards, a crisp gunshot was heard.

The flashlight went off!

It's a devil!

The squad leader picked up the flashlight on the ground, grabbed Fulgen and ran to the position behind him: "Quick, the little devil is here."

The gunfire broke the darkness before dawn, and the entire blocking position instantly boiled like a drop of water into a frying pan.

"Where to shoot, where to shoot..." The company commander in charge of the position command rushed out of the command post with a gun.

"Little devils, all are little devils..."

In addition to Fulgen's shouts, there were also Japanese soldiers who exposed themselves because of the gunshots, rushing out of the wheat field one after another.

dong dong...

The sound of mortars.

The shells fell on the positions of the national army, and there was an explosion.

The battle broke out instantly.

The Japanese army rushed out of the wheat field and launched a violent attack on the defensive positions of the national army like a tide.

The prelude to the war has begun.

……

Luo Yao, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He opened the door, and there were Wen Xueren and Yang Si standing at the door.

"The battle report I just received shows that the Japanese army has launched a move from the direction of Zhongxiang, and brazenly launched an attack on the defensive position of the 33th Division of the 55th Army of the 74rd Army stationed at Changshoudian. In less than half an hour, the forward position was lost!" Yang Si report.

"It's finally here." Luo Yao nodded. Although the strategy of the Fifth War Zone was somewhat conservative, it was a decision made to give the Fifth War Zone its own strength.

He can also understand this.

Although it is uncomfortable to be passively beaten, it is the same for the entire strategy of the War of Resistance. The national army does not have the conditions for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the field.

"Team leader, once the Japanese army is launched, they will no longer hide it. This is also a good thing for us."

"Well, the interception work needs to be strengthened, and our security work must also be paid attention to, especially in terms of air defense, we have certain advantages." Luo Yao thought for a while and ordered.

"Yes."

……

In addition to the direction of Xianghe, the Japanese army also launched a fierce attack on the national army from the direction of Xinyang. After dawn, the Japanese army also dispatched plane bombing.

Under the fierce Japanese offensive.

The national army quickly lost a large area of ​​ground and kept retreating, and the battle reports came to the commander's office of the Laohekou theater like snowflakes.

The Japanese army's offensive was so fierce and the speed of advance was so fast that the generals in the fifth theater were unexpected. Obviously, for this battle, the Japanese army had been preparing and planning for a long time.

Originally, if Okamura Neiji had not been transferred, he should have commanded this battle, and these preparations were obviously done when he was in office.

Sonobe and Ichiro have only been in office for less than a month, and it is estimated that the situation of the troops has not been figured out yet, and it is impossible to organize such a large battle.

All of this was planned by Neiji Okamura for him, and Sonobe and Ichiro took a big deal.

Calls and telegrams for help continued to pour in.

Rao is that the Fifth War Zone has already made targeted arrangements. Under the powerful artillery fire and air superiority of the Japanese army, the position is like paper, and it will be broken with a poke.

Of course, the national army fought very bravely, and the position was fought over and over again before finally changing hands, and the number of casualties rose sharply.

……

Mountain City·Huangjiaoya, Liu Family Garden.

"Sister Hui, I just got the news that fighting has already started in the Fifth War Zone." Jiang Xiaoyu walked into Gong Hui's office with the documents in her arms to report.

"I see. Is there any progress regarding the situation of Yoshizawa Liusheng?" Gong Hui nodded. It will be sooner or later. It's better to come earlier than to hang over your head.

"There are too few keywords, and the directivity is unclear. It is really not easy to find valuable clues from so many news. If the keywords are deviated again, it will be even more difficult." Jiang Xiaoyu road.

"I'm not here to listen to your analysis of difficulties, what I want is the result." Gong Hui asked sternly.

Jiang Xiaoyu clicked her tongue, and quickly said: "According to the summarization of incidents with Japanese special forces that occurred in North China last year, it can be said that the Japanese army made great contributions, and Japanese military intelligence agencies participated. There are probably three of these..."

"Why are there only incidents of contact with the military command or the national army, and the CCP?" Gong Hui listened to Jiang Xiaoyu's explanation while looking through the incidents she listed. From top to bottom, she could hardly find anything related to the CCP.

"For the situation of the CCP, although we have statistics here, most of them are vague, and they are good at avoiding the important and neglecting the minor. They can boast of a big victory even if they kill a few little devils and take one or two gun towers. Don't report any worries, so I don't think theirs is reliable, so I didn't include them." Jiang Xiaoyu was startled, and quickly explained.

Gong Hui nodded, she also agrees with this point of view, in fact, many people in the national army share this point of view, so I won't repeat it: "Don't just focus on the national army, the CCP has suffered losses, you should also check .”

"Yes, I'm going to check the data and conduct screening and analysis." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded.

Chapter 0749 Bombing

buzzing...

A Type [-] reconnaissance plane poked its head out of the clouds and came towards Laohekou. The pilot of this reconnaissance plane was Second Lieutenant Kotsuka of the Third Flying Regiment.

The sky of China has been completely occupied by Japanese aircraft.

Although they occasionally encounter some resistance, their backward air defense weapons can't help them at all, and the bomber group is right behind.

He came to investigate.

The people in Laohekou have seen Japanese aircraft with "plaster flags" painted on them for a long time, and they hate this kind of aircraft that lays iron eggs.

In February of this year, the Japanese sent planes to bomb Laohekou, turning the thousand-year-old Yulin Temple into ruins.

Japanese planes also bombed Guanghua County, causing dozens of casualties. At that time, it was just the Lunar New Year.

Now the nasty Japanese plane is at it again.

Fortunately, the people of Laohekou already knew how to deal with it, and the streets were soon empty, those who hid, those who hid, those who entered the air-raid shelter, entered the air-raid shelter.

"Quick, put the antenna away!" Luo Yao was also directing the 401 team to retract the erected antenna.

If the reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army finds out, it will definitely be determined that this is the command organization of the fifth theater, and a wave of strikes will follow.

boom!

The bomber fleet came over, bombs dropped one after another, and there were violent explosions everywhere, Luo Yao and the others were used to it.

In a mountain city, it is impossible to get used to being bombed within five minutes of being separated from the mountain.

Moreover, in the process of being bombed, a lot of experience in evasion was also summed up. At least everyone is not psychologically afraid of the bombing of Japanese planes.

As long as it wasn't a bomb falling overhead.

"Team Leader Fang, hurry up to the air-raid shelter..." Wei Zhiming was extremely anxious. If something went wrong with the 401 team, he would be fully responsible.

"It's okay, the Japanese planes can't bomb us, as long as we don't expose ourselves." Luo Yao chuckled and didn't care.

Although there were constant explosions outside and the house in the Wuchang Pavilion was constantly shaking in the vibration, Luo Yao could still remain so calm, which really convinced Wei Zhiming.

After a wave of bombing.
