The theater command did not pay much attention to the Japanese counterattack. On the first day, the "Zhong" team did not get much good results on the entire front, nor did they reveal too many attempts. The attack of the right-wing Zhong* team of Gu'an was very fierce, but the offensive in other places was also fierce. Gu'an was only relatively weak in its troops and even was broken through. Okamura's counterattack was a declaration of confidence by the commander. He wanted to tell Zhuang Jihua that the Japanese army in North China was very strong, so be careful; on the other hand, he also repaired the front. Especially in Gu'an, Zhuang Jihua believed that Song Xilian and Sun Zhen could handle this matter well.

The artillery fire ignited the night, the gunshots broke silently, and fierce battles were carried out on the entire front. Gu'an was indeed the focus of the Japanese counterattack as Zhuang Jihua expected. In order to restore the front and block the breakthrough, Gu'an defender Lieutenant General Hua Mu put the 432nd Reservoir in his hand into the counterattack. Chen Dingxun also transferred the 375th Brigade from the 125th Division of the Reserve Team to fight. The two sides fought fiercely all night east of Cao's housework, until dawn. Chen Dingxun defeated the Japanese army's attempt and still firmly controlled the position.

Behind the front, Xu Zuyi and Gao Songyuan rushed to Tang Enbo Command on the western front overnight, while Tang Shizun led the 23rd Army to advance west overnight, and the 21st Army was in front. The 23rd Army then followed up. The long marching team stretched for dozens of miles. Fortunately, it was in the Pingjin area, and the transportation was high, so there was no chaos.

In the southeast of Zhuozhou, the motor roared, Qiu Qingquan was sitting in his jeep. The jeep's canopy was placed behind the car. The adjutant and the guard sat in the back seat. He bit a cigar in his mouth, grabbed the handrail with one hand, his eyes shining with pride and pride. Behind him was also a convoy with headlights shining with dozens of kilometers.

To the east of Jinghai, Li Tianxia looked angry and cursed loudly. She almost crushed the telegram in her hand. In the evening, he had just received the order to reinforce the 55th Army. The troops lasted for only two hours. However, they received the order to advance westward, and the troops had to turn around and return.

On the south, Dai Anlan, the New Eighth Army Command, issued a peaceful order, and the entire army gathered and advanced westward.

On the Western Front, Tang Enbo Command, "Tang Yingbai's face was gloomy. He knew that he had become a supporting role again in this battle. Even though he was angry, he had to execute the order and fell into a disadvantage since his first dealing with Zhuang Jihua. He knew that it would be difficult for him to win Zhuang Jihua's favor. If it weren't for the Chairman's reaction, the commander of the Western Front would not have fallen into his hands.

Zhuang Jihua transferred the 23rd Army to the "He felt a little dissatisfied. He had sufficient reserves in his hands, and the 29th Army and the 13th Army were attacking head-on. The 85th Army and the 12th Army had no shots." There was no need for the 23rd Army.

"I have ordered the 12th Army to advance eastward and accept the Fifth Army position and the 73rd Army position to expand eastward. Tomorrow I will strengthen the attack on the front to attract the attention of Tanisuo."

In the mountainous area east of Yi County, Wei Lihuang was looking at the map under the faint light of the flashlight. The radio station not far away was ticking. Chief of Staff Guo Jiqiao was whispering to him about the situation of each unit. Nearly 300,000 interspers were divided into three routes and secretly crossing the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains and the western foot of the Xishan Mountains. Attack Zhuolu, the new security guard in Xuanhua, cut off the connection between Zhangjiakou and Beiping, and eliminated the Japanese army in this area.

"The 89th Army of the Right Wing, the New Fourth Army, has crossed Sandan Mountain and is expected to arrive on the east bank of the Juma River tomorrow; the Fourth Guerrilla Corps of the Forty-Nine Army, arrive. Arrive..." Guo Jiqiao looked on the map: "Erdaogou, the 14th Army and the 115th Division arrived at Jiaolongkou.

"This won't work. The troops are too slow to move, and it's impossible to arrive in ten days." Wei Lihuang was a little anxious. In order to keep it a secret, the troops took to the guerrilla areas and base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and the vanguards of the troops were all wearing messy Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army guerrillas, and these troops were responsible for clearing the roads.

However, the terrain of this area is really poor, with mountains connected to mountains and there are almost no complete roads. The only two roads are not dared to use, and they are worried that they will be seen by Japanese spies. Climbing the mountains is not bad for infantry advancing on foot. The artillery troops are in trouble. Before the operation, the troops left all 1o5 heavy artillery and only brought 12o mortars imitated by the 75 Mountain Cannon. But even so, the artillery was extremely difficult to operate, and the shells were forced to be dispersed to the infantry units.

The time for Zhuang Jihua to intersperse him was ten days. Ten days later, the 49th Army would launch an attack on Zhuo County. The 14th Army attacked the new security guard, and then received airdrop supplies from the new security guard, leaving the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to defend Zhuo County and the New Security Guard. The 49th Army and the 14th Army all went north to attack Xuanhua and encircle Zhangjiakou to defend the enemy.

This plan is extremely risky. It is full of uncertainties, but Wei Lihuang likes it very much. At least in this plan, he is no longer a supporting role, but the protagonist, the protagonist in this battle destined to be written into the history of the Chinese history.

"Let's figure it out. We have been walking for three days, how far we have gone. We have been more than fifty miles so that we can arrive at Zhuo County and Xin Security Guard on time?" Wei Lihuang's voice was very thick, and anyone could hear his anxiety.

Guo Jiqiao thought for a while and suggested, "Commander, I don't see these Japanese reconnaissance aircraft. We can operate during the day, put on some makeup and put on the villagers' clothes on the outside. Even if the Japanese plane comes, they will only think that it is the people supporting the front..., "But what if it is a Japanese spy?" Wei Lihuang asked back.

, "Detain all the villagers I saw along the way... Guo Jiqiao took out a ruthless trick: "Leave it to the containment team. After we arrived at the destination, we would release them, and at the same time, we could also help us transport supplies...

Wei Lihuang was a little embarrassed. This kind of behavior was very common in the tradition of the ** team. However, after Zhuang Jihua took office as the Fifth War Zone, he ordered the troops not to disturb the people. Any disturbances were severely handled. Once seized, the Military Law Department of the War Zone rectified military discipline on the Western Front. More than 30 people were shot at the 13th Army at one time. The entire army gathered to observe the punishment, but Tang Enbo couldn't hold it. However, he was scolded by Zhuang Jihua and tore off his resignation letter on the spot. Then Chiang Kai-shek tried to keep it again while patrolling. Tang Enbo felt faced, but the slack military discipline had greatly improved.

, "The commander will not blame him. Besides, we can give them some money or food compensation afterwards... Guo Jiqiao disagrees. In his opinion, it is nothing for soldiers to violate military discipline. The military pay has not been fully paid, and the troops will take it out to help the refugees temporarily. The soldiers cannot be resentful.

, "Okay, that's it, we will inform the headquarters of our decision." Wei Lihuang made up his mind.

After a while, the headquarters called and agreed to his decision. At the same time, they reminded them that the frontal attack had begun and they had to speed up their actions. The longer the time delayed, the easier it was to leak secrets.

But what surprised Wei Lihuang was that Chen G-Xu and Luo Huan called at the same time, opposing the detention of the people along the way, pointing out that this was the Eighth Route Army base. There was a complete organization and there were no Japanese spies in the local area.

Wei Lihuang firmly refused, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops could not be placed on this. Wei Lihuang ordered the troops along the way to implement them resolutely. Once the troops' actions were noticed by the Japanese army, not only would the troops lose. The entire battle was also in danger of failure.

By dawn, the Japanese army stopped counterattacking. After a fierce night of fighting, the soldiers fell into the trenches exhausted. The sound of gunfire that had been heard for a night finally calmed down. The front team quickly came up from the rear and carried the wounded down. The chef carried the hastily prepared breakfast into the trenches and distributed them to the soldiers one by one.

The soldiers who had breakfast still had no energy to recover, either sitting or lying on the position. The warm sunshine seemed to be without war. The officers gathered in command of the chess and nervously planned the next action.

A new force entered the position. After a simple handover between the officers of the two units, the troops who fought fiercely for a night were retreated to rest, and the new force jumped into the trenches.

Half an hour later, a fierce platoon of cannons rang out, and a fire and smoke rose from the opposite position. It was dawn and the performance of the "Zhong" team began.

The shells were as fierce as ever, and the shells fell like raindrops. The Japanese positions were instantly covered by explosions and smoke, and the fire filled with light.

Half an hour later, the shelling stopped. Fighters in the sky roared, and a team of silver eagles flew to the battlefield. The Japanese position was bathed in an aviation bomb rain again. Dozens of war eagles hovered in the sky outside the war zone to supervise, and they blocked the places where Japanese aircraft might appear from four directions, southeast, west and north.

Li Guidan's protective window was still open. He was enjoying breathing with the smell of gunpowder. The swelling smoke below did not attract his attention at all.

, "Note, pay attention, two cockroaches, directly north, height..., orientation...".

Li Guidan was excited: "I understand. I understand, young men, work has started, work has started...

"Take it to us, aren't it just two cockroaches... The voice of the team leader came from the headphones, and Li Guidan thought for a moment and replied: "Okay, battle, please note, the Japanese also have radars..."

The four fighter planes left the formation and flew northward. The Japanese knew they were defeated and forced to take off to fight. Li Guidan had to be careful whether there was any fraud. His main task was not to eliminate Japanese aircraft, but to protect these bombers.

Li Guidan led his brigade to continue hovering on the battlefield. Curses kept coming from his ears. It seemed that the two little cockroaches were not easy to deal with. During the entire war, except for a brief air advantage, they could not take advantage in the sky.

The Zero fighter is an excellent fighter, but it is not now. Li Guidan patted the Mustang on his seat with ease. This is the best fighter, outstanding and flawless.

, "Note, pay attention, southeast. Southeast, forty-six Japanese aircraft, forty-six Japanese aircraft, height..., direction..., course...

Li Guidan was very energetic, like a cat that smelled the fishy smell, gathered the brigade's fighter planes around. Gao Zhihang's order came from his headphones. Gao Zhihang ordered him to hold the Japanese plane, and he had led three brigades to support him.

"Teacher, it's okay, it's just some cockroaches." Li Guidan smiled. A bunch of joysticks led the troops eastward.

The purpose of dragging the Japanese plane was not to worry about Li Guidan's defeat. But Gao Zhihang determined that the batch of Japanese planes came from the sea, and he probably took off from the aircraft carrier, so he came to reinforce on the one hand. On the other hand, he sent four reconnaissance planes to the sea to find these Japanese fleets and sank them.
