The 17th Division of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army launched an attack on the Yangqu Town defense line in the left wing of Taiyuan guarded by the 32nd Army. The fierce offensive took place for 15 days, and the two Japanese divisions did not capture the Yiqiu position. The 35th Army is the best defense unit in the Jin army. After a new style of army reorganization and strict training, the defensive experience and combat qualities of this army not only retained the old tradition, but also became more experienced in defense on the original basis. At the same time, this army has also made great progress in offense after being trained by the Battle of the Great Wall.

Currently, Ji Yunfei, the commander of the 13th Division of the 35th Army, defends on the side of Taiyuan City southeast of Yangqu Town, and the defense distance is 10 kilometers. Hao Junfeng, the commander of the 14th Division, defends in the northeast of Yangqu Town, and his defense line is 8 kilometers. In addition, the 15th Division defends further east, and the defense line is connected to the Zangshan defense line. Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 35th Army, set up the military headquarters in Yangqu Town, and the 16th Division under his command is used as the general reserve team. At the same time, there are 10,000 supplementary troops in Yangqu Town.

The 13th Division Command is located on the main position No. 95 of Laojun Ridge. If you stand at the highest point of Laojun Ridge, you can see the entire defense line. There are two high grounds in front of Laojun Ridge, named No. 86 and 87 respectively. These two high grounds and the main position of Laojun Ridge form a Pin-shaped defensive formation. This terrain is very beneficial to the defense side. However, this area is the most important part of the Yangqu defense line, so Zheng Dongguo put Ji Yunfei here to hold on.

At this time, there was a fierce battle ahead, and the field of vision on the battlefield was very clear. The smoke from the explosion was quickly blown away by the cold air going south. At present, the Japanese army has given up using poison gas bombs because the toxic gas formed after the explosion could not accumulate and its effect was extremely poor, and its effect was minimal. On the contrary, the poison gas after the explosion of the poison gas bomb was blown towards the Japanese attacking troops. Therefore, after the Japanese army launched several poison gas wars, they stopped using it.

Ji Yunfei held the phone and observed the situation of the Japanese attack on the two high grounds in front. "The artillery position, shoot at targets 12, 21, 45, 52 immediately!" Ji Yunfei just put down the phone, and the cannons that had been prepared had begun to speak, and the attacking Japanese army was blown upside down. "It's really a pain for me to be the commander of the artillery," Ji Yunfei picked up the phone and said, "How can you be the commander of the artillery? If you think you can't finish the shells, stop shooting immediately. The next round of shooting three rapid shots and then stop. Our artillery is not only to curb the Japanese attack, but more importantly, to kill the Japanese army. Re-examine your shootings again. What I want is accuracy."

Ji Yunfei scolded the artillery regiment commander, which made the artillery regiment commander confused. Currently, the third artillery brigade of the Second Field Artillery Division, one is on the Zangshan defense line, one is on the Yangqu defense line, and the other is on the right wing defense line of Taiyuan to serve as artillery fire support. The artillery brigade has four regiments under its jurisdiction, the 13th Infantry Division is assigned to two artillery regiments, and the 14th Division is assigned to two artillery regiments. They are all assigned to the front-line commander directly. In order to effectively integrate artillery, the artillery division commander has temporarily become a decoration.

"Teacher, the artillery regiment commander cannot see the situation at the forefront. You are a little too arbitrary. You make the artillery regiment commander at a loss," the chief of staff pleaded with the artillery regiment commander next to him. Ji Yunfei laughed at himself: "I am a little too impatient, but their thoughts are too rigid and they must hit them. You said that they can flexibly grasp such things according to the battlefield situation. At present, the military factory in the rear is bombing by the Japanese army and desperately produces artillery shells. We cannot waste it innocently." The chief of staff nodded and picked up the phone. This kind of business of wiping the butt must be done by him. After all, the artillery regiment belongs to two units.

"Report the division seat! The Japanese army launched a fierce attack at the junction of our headquarters and the Taiyuan peripheral positions, and are currently in a fierce battle!" A staff officer reported urgently. "Tell the defensive forces not to be afraid. The Japanese army was the last crazy. The Japanese 17th Division in front of us may be difficult to hold on." The chief of staff said: "Second! The Japanese commander opposite us is very cunning. Every attack is loud and there is little rain. He invests in a brigade every time he attacks, and the support firepower is well arranged. His losses have not been great for more than ten days."

Ji Yunfei said: "This guy is very smart and never stubborn. Although the offensive round after round, the Japanese army on the opposite side never launched a desperate attack. Frankly speaking, our defensive pressure has been relatively reduced. We only suffered more than 1,000 casualties in more than ten days. I heard from the military captain that Hao Junfeng and others were under great pressure, and the Japanese army's offensive was very fierce." The Chief of Staff said: "Although the Japanese army on the opposite side had little casualties, they always maintained a fierce offensive, which is probably quite tired. I guess the Japanese offensive on the opposite side would soon weaken."

In the command of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army, the telegram formed a coherent notes, and the combat staff were busy. "Report! Commander inquired about the attack!" A staff officer reported in panic. "Tell the military headquarters that our headquarters is launching a fierce offensive and the soldiers are fighting to the death." The person who spoke was the commander of the 17th Division. This guy was nearly 60 years old. At this time, he seemed very calm and had no expression on his thin face.

When his troops pulled Yangqu to launch an attack, he learned that there was a division on the opposite side of the defense. At the same time, he also knew that the reorganized division of the Jin army was fully equipped with a number of 12,000. He knew that his troops were A Division, with a number of 24,000, but if the cavalry gang, logistics gang and artillery gang were removed, only 15,000 could participate in the attack. Especially when he saw the defensive terrain of the Chinese defenders and a large number of permanent fortifications, he knew very well that he could not break through the defense line at all. For the life of the body and blood subordinates, he ambushed Kawatani Atsusuke's order. However, the order had to be implemented. Therefore, although his offensive was like a tide, it would not rain.

The defense line in which Hao Junfeng is located is a bit strange. His defense zone is composed of small hills. Although it is not suitable for large corps combat, it also increases difficulties for the defense side. Since each mountain bag is not large, the distribution of defensive forces is also greater and less. Some front-line mountain bags can only deploy one platoon of troops. Hao Junfeng's division command post is located on Daughter Peak, the highest point in the middle.

The Japanese army attacked for more than ten days in a row. At present, the Japanese army has occupied more than a dozen small hills on the front. Facing the continuous mountain bags, the Japanese army can only capture one by one. Although the price is very high, the Japanese army has seen hope after all. Hao Junfeng has added two troops, and his casualties have reached more than 3,000 people. The Japanese army opposite is the 9th Division, and the offensive is one wave after another. The Japanese army has taken advantage of the strategy of fighting at all costs.

"Reporting the division seat, the 162 highland was captured by the Japanese army, and a company's defenders were withdrawn halfway!" A staff officer reported. Hao Junfeng looked at the sand table and said, "Order the artillery to cover the 162 highland, let them taste the taste of shells. After the artillery was over, he ordered the 165 highland to attack and tell them not to fight." The chief of staff said, "Teacher! The Japanese army on the opposite side are simply incomprehensible. This tactic of this kind of war is probably going to be killed by a division. The Japanese are simply crazy."

The commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was a young and strong man. He was over forty years old. He was not only full of energy but also quite conceited. This kid looked down on the Chinese in his bones. In his consciousness, the Yamato nation is the most noble breed. The sick man in East Asia was not worthy of fighting against the Yamato nation. The influence of militarism made him a war madman. The attack was blocked and suffered heavy losses, and it did not stop him from his crazy attack. It can be said that he was the most determined executor of Kawatani Arisuke launching a decisive attack without fail.

On this line, the armored vehicles could not play a role in the Japanese tanks, so there was no chariot troops on this line to cooperate with the attack. The attack could only be completed by the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers. Another round of attack was repelled. The commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese army glared at the defeated General Zuo with bloody eyes. At this time, a subordinate said carefully: "Genius, the attacking troops are too tired. We have lost more than half of them and cannot maintain a fierce offensive."

The division commander stood up and roared, "Order all the cavalry corps to dismount and join the attack, and order the baggage corps to join the attack," all the generals were stunned when they heard this. The boy took a desperate bet, and then the Japanese soldiers screamed and launched another offensive. The Japanese army's offensive effect was significant, and they captured several mountain bags.

As night fell, Hao Junfeng looked at the sand table in the division command post and pondered. After more than ten days of continuous battles, he had already understood the characteristics of the Japanese attack. Suddenly, Hao Junfeng's eyes lit up and asked: "Chief of Staff, according to the report of the frontier position, although the Japanese attack today is fierce, their attack organization seems to be different, and the shooting level seems to have dropped. Do you think the Japanese army has put all the logistics troops into the attack?" The Chief of Staff analyzed: "The Japanese army did not increase its troops. According to our statistics, the Japanese army will lose at least half of its troops. Maintaining such a fierce attack is very likely to be invested in the logistics troops."

Hao Junfeng stood up and said, "Order, immediately form an assault force to carry out counterattack operations, and launch an attack on time at 8 o'clock tonight. The Japanese army would never expect that we still have the ability to launch a counterattack." The order was issued quickly, and then a counterattack force was formed among the supplementary troops. The time came, and the artillery bombarded for 20 minutes. The counterattack force composed of two thousand people suddenly launched a counterattack operation while the night was dark, which really caught the Japanese army off guard.

At midnight, the Japanese army lost the hills occupied by the day again. The commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese army was afraid of being so angry that he vomited blood. After the counterattack, Hao Junfeng swept away his past depression and ordered the guards to bring wine. He wanted to celebrate with the Chief of Staff. The two were drinking, and suddenly the phone rang. A staff officer picked up the phone and said, "The division seat is the phone number from Commander Ji of the 13th Division. Hao Junfeng was a little confused.

"How did you get the phone to my place? If the military commander knows, you will be in trouble." "Tell you a message. The military commander went to the headquarters for a meeting. According to the military commander, the Japanese army will soon stop the attack." Hao Junfeng asked: "This news is indeed!" Ji Yunfei's proud voice came from the other end of the phone: "According to reliable news, the Japanese army has sent four divisions and are currently entering Shanxi one after another. The Japanese army has launched an attacking force and has suffered heavy losses. The counterattack you launched today is very good. I want to congratulate you!"

Hao Junfeng said: "You guy is lucky. If you meet an opponent who is afraid of death, don't say sarcastic." "Brother Hao, I know your pressure, but the more you reach the end, the more you need to prevent the Japanese army from jumping over the wall. The Japanese army opposite me suddenly weakened in the past two days. I am worried that they will make small moves. At present, I have sent several reconnaissance troops to closely observe the trends of the Japanese army, especially the joint between you and me is a weak link. I hope you should pay attention."

Hao Junfeng said: "Don't worry! I will inform you in time if there is any situation!" Hao Junfeng slept well that night and slept very sweetly.
Chapter completed!
