According to the current rain, there is no need for the two divisions of the 26th Army to go to Huzishan to support Baoding.

"The main seat."

Chen Hua took the coat and put it on him: "Central Plains is a bit cold in the morning and evening, please pay attention to your body."

Liang Xiao didn't feel cold at all, he was looking forward to the end of the heavy rain soon, but he didn't expect that the heavy rain really came after one night, it could be called timely rain.

"We have won this battle."

Liang Xiao looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, and sneered.

"General, although our special warfare brigade has occupied Baoding, there are more than 2 people in the Devil's [-]th Division and the remnants of Takagi's brigade. If they return to Baoding, the special warfare brigade may not be able to defend for a few days. Moreover, The [-]th Division in front of us has been attacking more and more fiercely in the past two days, and the forward positions have been destroyed by their artillery fire several times, and I am afraid that the forward positions will not last long."

Chen Hua is pessimistic about the situation.

"Guess how much of the devil's food and supplies are left after the heavy rain..."

Liang Xiao asked with a smile.

"According to the investigation information of my special operations team, the devils have about five or six days' supply of food and supplies, and they will supply new supplies every day."

Chen Huadao.

"The information sent by the investigative team was three days ago. Now that three days have passed, the devils have the most food and supplies. Now that Baoding is occupied by our army, the devils' food supply line has been completely cut off. They insisted on it." After that, if there is no material, what should we do?"

Liang Xiao said.

"Looking at the situation of the heavy rain, it is estimated that it will not stop for a while. The devils have lost their supplies, and there are only two ways to go. They evacuate to the center of Jizhong. There are a small number of troops stationed by the devils, and there is... the main force Withdraw to Baoding and counterattack Baoding City, as long as Baoding is captured, there will be sufficient food and supplies.”

Chen Huadao.

"The situation on the Jizhong Plain is very unfavorable to the devils. The local militia armed forces, bandits, the guerrilla troops of the No. 18 Group Army, the garrison troops of the Central Army, and the garrisons of the Jinsui Army are all complicated. Moreover, once the devils enter Hebei In the Central Plains, our army only needs to block the gale mountainous area west of the Erdao River to trap them to death on the Central Jizhong Plain. Therefore, as long as the commander of the devils is not dizzy, he will not let the troops brave the heavy rain The only way to enter the Jizhong Plain is to return to Baoding and take Baoding in the rain.”

"The devil's two and a half divisions were beaten by us to only 7, and we also left more than 8000 people from more than [-]. The force is the same. In terms of weapons, it is raining heavily today, and neither the enemy nor we dare to take off. In combat, after the devil's heavy artillery unit was blown up by me, the seventeen who went south to fight brought the [-] infantry artillery, but did not bring heavy artillery. In terms of artillery fire, our army's mountain artillery positions have a slight advantage. As for guns and ammunition, there are plenty of them. Moreover, our German guns perform better in the rain than the Sanba Dagai."

Liang Xiao laughed and said: "Zhengzhou is the place where devils die, go and find the commanders of the various armies and hold a battle meeting."

...... Operation meeting room.

All the division-level generals of the 26th Army and the 66th Army are here.

"The seat is here."

A strong voice sounded.

All the senior generals of the [-]th Army stood up in unison.

They are all generals above the division commander of the [-]th Army, and they respect the commander-in-chief Liang Xiao very much. After all, the prestige of the [-]th Army was earned by him on the battlefield.

Liang Xiao was wearing a general's overcoat, looking at the commanders under his command, he slowly pressed his hand to let the generals sit down.

"Last night, my special forces successfully attacked Baoding. This morning, a heavy rain sounded the death knell for the little devil."

Liang Xiao made a long story short: "I called you all over early in the morning, and there was only one combat order. From ten o'clock sharp, the troops put on raincoats and launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese army. The 2nd and [-]nd Special War Brigade stayed in the city, protruding from the devil's flank, Specially attack the retreating troops of the enemy, remember, this battle has only one purpose, which is to kill the devils, no matter what method you use, just kill the devils."

"Boss, if our army counterattacks across the board, if the battle is stalemate, what should we do?"

Zhou Shiji frowned and asked, he was afraid that after the battle was stalemate, the troops would suffer too many casualties.

"Why let the battle be in a stalemate, instead of letting the situation completely fall on us."

Liang Xiao asked with a smile.

"Boss, if it's raining so heavily, if our army counterattacks across the board, it will definitely be within the range of the devil's artillery. Moreover, the road is muddy, and our tanks and armored vehicles may be stuck in the mud before they reach the devil's camp. But the tanks and armored vehicles of the Devils are all placed outside the camp, once our infantry charges, they will be live targets for the Devils tanks and armored vehicles."

Zhou Shiji said.

"Very well said."

Liang Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "But you seem to have forgotten that we still have a brigade of special operations troops in our hands. Back then I applied to the committee to form a special operations force, and there was a special warfare course in it, which was special operations in rainy weather. For two years, in order to familiarize the special operations troops with the skills of using special operations in rainy weather, almost every rainy day, the special operations troops were divided into several small teams and went to various places to suppress bandits or sneak attacks on devils. The results were not bad. This time our army It's time to let everyone see what special operations are for the counterattack on the front line."

"But the commander of the special warfare division is still there: Erdaohe is fighting to stop the attack, can the special warfare troops do without his command?"

Feng Shi'an, Chief of Staff of the 66th Army.

"Special forces will not lose combat effectiveness just because the commander is absent."

Sun Bing took up the conversation and said that he had served as the commander of the special warfare division and was deeply familiar with the combat style and command function of the special warfare division.

"That's right. A special operations force won't lose combat power because of the absence of the commander. Take a look, everyone. The special operations force will give you a vivid special warfare lesson today."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"Then we'll wait and see, waiting for the scene of the special forces, teaching."

Zhou Shiji laughed.

"Next, I will announce the specific mission of this operation."

Liang Xiao announced.

All the generals at the military division level immediately stood up and respectfully listened to the chief executive's assignment.

Chapter 476 The Japanese Army Divides

After ten o'clock:, the heavy rain gradually turned into a torrential rain.

This is the biggest rainstorm in the Central Plains this year. According to the old people in the city, it usually rains heavily on the first day, and it rains continuously for several days.

Zhengzhou is close to the Yellow River. When there is a heavy rainstorm, the water level of the Yellow River will rise, and the coastal area will become a thousand-mile swamp.

outside the city.

The No. 17 Division of the Japanese Army was arranged in the front in a character formation, and the camp was set up in a flat area. The [-]th Division was on the right wing, and the camp was set up on a small hillside, with a condescending tendency. The Takagi Brigade was on the left wing. , camped in a mountain valley.

This kind of camp layout in the form of characters, can be attacked when advancing, and defended when retreating.

Of course, it is not perfect. For example, on rainy days, the roads are all muddy, and the three camps of the Japanese army are far away from each other. When supporting each other, it will inevitably be delayed by the muddy roads.

Seventeenth Division Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Kuroiwa Tetsuro, head of the [-]th Division, Lieutenant General Ushishima Misawa, head of the [-]th Division, Major General Takagi Rokuro of the Takagi Brigade, and the chiefs of staff of each division were all present.

Lieutenant General Heiyan Tielang said slowly: "The current situation is very unfavorable to the imperial army. Just last night, the Chinese army attacked Baoding. Everyone knows that Baoding is a supply place for the imperial army, but it was occupied by the Chinese army. This means that our army will not have food supplies in a short period of time. Secondly, it was raining heavily this morning, and the water in the canal was rising. The transport ships could not bring us supplies from other places. We can only rely on ourselves. "

"Mr. Heiyan, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side are at the end of their strength. I suggest that our two divisions attack again and attack Zhengzhou in one fell swoop. Then the food, grass and supplies can be solved."

Lieutenant General Niu Dao said.

"Ushishima-san, after fighting for so many days, do you think our troops can enter Zhengzhou within three days?"

Heiyan Tielang said in a deep voice: "According to intelligence, Liang Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the 26th Army Group, is currently in Zhengzhou City, personally commanding the defense of Zhengzhou. Everyone knows the information about this person, so I won't introduce them one by one. Let’s talk about our 26th Army, which is good at attacking and defending. It is very cunning. Moreover, their equipment is pure German equipment, which is more sophisticated than ours. There are mountain artillery positions, infantry artillery positions, and tanks. In terms of weapons, we do not have the slightest advantage in armored convoys. In terms of military strength, according to my estimation, the 3th Army on the opposite side has at least [-] to [-] people,,."

"Impossible. The 26th Army lost a lot in the battle with our 3th Division. How could it be possible that there are still 26 or 6000 people? According to my judgment, the [-]th Army has a maximum of [-] people at the moment. With the strength of our two and a half divisions, we can definitely take Zhengzhou and capture the famous general of China alive if we put all our eggs in one basket."

Inexplicable excitement flashed in Ushijima's eyes.

"Mr. Niu Dao, this is absolutely not possible. The famous general Liang Xiao is cunning. We must not have any illusions about fighting him on the battlefield."

Black Rock Iron Road.

"Mr. Heiyan, if you are afraid, you can press it. Our [-]th Division is willing to attack the Chinese garrison position. It is raining heavily now, which is a good opportunity for the imperial army. With the warrior spirit of the imperial soldiers, the Chinese garrison will absolutely Not an opponent."

Niu Dao really said.

"Ushishima-kun, don't... be reckless, I'll ask the front army headquarters for instructions first, and then make a decision."

Tetsuro Kuroiwa, the head of the [-]th Division, was only acting as the head of the division, and his qualifications were not as high as that of Ushijima, so he could not order him. He could only stop Ushijima in the name of asking the front army headquarters to prevent him from attacking recklessly.

"Mr. Heiyan, our army only has three days of food and supplies, and we don't have a lot of ammunition. If we don't take advantage of the heavy rain and take Zhengzhou in one fell swoop, are we going to starve to death here?"

Niu Dao often shouted.

"The Front Army Headquarters will give a reply soon, we will not move for the time being, and everything will wait for the Front Army Headquarters' orders."

Heiyan Tetsuro had a lot of disdain for Ushido in his heart, thinking that only a stupid pig would attack Zhengzhou at this time.

"Then you wait slowly, our [-]th Division will not accompany you."

Ushijima often gets up and leaves.

"Ushishima-kun..."

Heiyan Tetsuro called from behind, but he didn't stop him.

"Ushishima-kun will suffer big losses if he insists on going his own way. The 26th Army on the opposite side is by no means only more than 1 people. You can hear the gunshots from the opponent. The gunshots from the front troops are at least five to six thousand. In addition, the opponent's soldiers deployed in the second-line positions, as well as city defense soldiers, etc., the strength of the troops is definitely more than [-], and the opponent has trenches as cover, and our troops do not have tanks and armored vehicles as cover, so we just rushed up , and became a living target for the defenders of China.”

"Heiyan-kun, Takagi thinks that we should take the supply of food and supplies as the top priority at the moment. Now that it is raining heavily, cars and tanks cannot move normally. We need an army to go out to the Jizhong Plain to deliver a batch of food and supplies for us. Come back to solve the urgent need."

Takagi Rokuro brigade leader said.

"What Takagi-kun said is reasonable, but from Jizhong to this place, the nearest county is about 200 kilometers away from us. It takes at least five days to go back and forth. At this time, it is the time of heavy rain, and the soldiers are required to transport food and supplies. , there will be some delays on the road, so it may take seven or eight days to bring back the food and grass, and by that time, our army has already run out of food."

Kuroiwa Tetsuro said.

The head of Takagi Rokuro's brigade carefully thought about it. This is indeed the truth, but if you don't go to Jizhong, where will the food and grass come from? Is it difficult to go to Baoding? "

The head of the brigade Takagi asked.

"Baoding."

Heiyan Tielang said slowly: "According to my judgment, the Chinese army that sneaked into Baoding did not exceed one division at most. Looking at the Central Plains battlefield, only the 26th Army on the opposite side of us is capable of sneaking into Baoding. I judge that the 26th Army sent a Zhi Pianshi took a detour through a road we don't know, and attacked Baoding."

"The Chinese army has just captured Baoding, and their foothold is not stable. If our army returns to Baoding at this time, there is a 67% to [-]% certainty that we can capture Baoding. By then, as long as Baoding is recaptured, food and grass will naturally not be a problem."

"The commander of the division is very wise, and Takagi admires it, but the road is muddy now. If our army wants to return to the division to attack Baoding, without heavy weapons, it may be difficult to capture Baoding City for a while."

Takagi Rokuro brigade leader said.

Chapter 477 Warriors, attack

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the thunder was roaring, and there was lightning and flint, as if the gods were wrathful.

"Warriors, attack."

Lieutenant General Ushido Shichang commanded his troops, braved the downpour and rushed to the national army's position.

Seeing the crazy Japanese attack at the frontier command post, the commander Xia Liangjun was speechless on the spot in surprise. The little devil is really crazy. He dared to attack in such a heavy rain.

"Pass down the order, the frontline troops will bring the enemy closer and fight again. At that time, all the light and heavy machine guns will fire together, and beat me hard."

Xia Liangjun looked at the little devil who was charging in the rain, and thought that this was all due to his and his brothers' military exploits, so he must seize the opportunity.

Outside.

The rainwater in the trenches was already three inches high, and raindrops fell from the soldiers' helmets.

The Quartermaster Office of the 66th Army issued raincoats and bamboo hats to the frontline troops early in the morning, because although the soldiers were lying on their stomachs in the trenches, their clothes were dry.

"beat."

The head of a regiment at the front gave an order.

Da da da.

All light and heavy machine guns fired together to form a dense firepower net.

I saw the charging little devils falling down in rows.

The little devil at the back stepped on his companion's corpse and continued to charge upwards, fearless of death.

Da da da... The light and heavy machine guns fired in all directions. With such a heavy rain, the barrel of the gun began to heat up in just a few minutes. Even if the rain poured on the barrel of the gun, it would not help.

The bullet casings fell to the ground with a bang.

The Japanese army's almost suicidal attack shocked the defenders.

As far as the eye could see, there was a large area of ​​Japanese soldiers' corpses, and the rainwater on the ground was stained blood red.

"Master seat, is this kid crazy?"

A major staff officer said in surprise when he saw the little devil attacking wildly through the binoculars.

"You little devil, so not afraid of death."

Xia Liangjun admired the Japanese army's fearless spirit, but at the same time he secretly rejoiced that he was on the defensive side. If he was attacking, he would have been heartbroken by now.

In just over 20 minutes, almost 2000 Japanese soldiers were hit by bullets during the charge and fell to the ground and died.

Soldiers of its vanguard have already approached the forward position by 100 meters.

"fire."

The head of a regiment at the front gave the order to fire.
