"Sure!!"
Xie Wenbin replied hurriedly.
Xia Yang looked them up and down and said: "Okay, as expected of the Eighth Route Army, each one is more talented than the other."
With that said, he asked: "What's the status of your ammunition and equipment?"
Hearing this, Xie Wenbin and Bai Yaowen were immediately happy.
They knew that since Xia Yang said this, he should have asked them to continue to participate in the pursuit of the Japanese army after replenishing ammunition and equipment.
Bai Yaowen immediately stepped forward and said: "Report, there is some shortage of ammunition, mainly light and heavy machine gun bullets, and rifle bullets. Mortar shells and grenades are relatively sufficient."
Hearing this, Xia Yang said: "Go to the armored division immediately and get the ammunition. Bring as much as you can carry."
"yes!!"
The two men answered loudly, then led the men and ran towards the direction of the armored division's ammunition supply convoy.
Those rows of trucks, loaded with gasoline, various ammunition, and supplies inside the carriages.
To support an armored force, you need strong logistical supply capabilities.
These hundreds of trucks are the lifeline of this armored force.
Of course, this is only part of it. There is also a convoy, which is mainly responsible for transporting various parts and components for repairing armored vehicles and tank vehicles, and is still at the rear.
Wait until this Eighth Route Army unit receives ammunition supplies.
Xia Yang organized them into the combat order of the armored division.
These soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, together with the armored infantry of the Fourth Army, sat in tanks or armored vehicles, following the large troops and advancing in the direction of the Japanese army.
On the frontal position, Wu Xinchuan, with more than 10,000 remaining members of his 188th Brigade, has begun to block the Japanese offensive troops.
He deployed his troops mainly on three lines of defense.
Every defensive line is guarded by two regiments of people.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 people who he regards as mobile troops to support various defense lines at any time.
The scouts dispatched by the Japanese breakout force reported the approximate locations of the three lines of defense to Jiro Montenegro in the rear.
During the break between frequent bombings by the Fourth Army, Jiro Kuroyama and his staff formulated a simple battle plan.
They dispatched two regiments to attack the two enemy positions on the flanks to attract their troops.
As for the main force, they resolutely attack the front.
When the frontal enemy defense positions are torn open, their troops will be able to break through the encirclement.
About ten kilometers further, they will be able to reach the old course of the Yellow River.
There, the two divisions of the Japanese army will choose to meet them.
At this time, on the bank of the old Yellow River, a brigade of Zuo Wen was fully armed and built a defensive position along the Yellow River.
His defensive position was divided into two sections.
One section is to defend against enemy troops on the other side of the Yellow River, and the other section is to defend against Japanese breakout troops who may break through the 188th Brigade defense line and reach the banks of the Yellow River.
However, Zuo Wen believed that Wu Xinchuan could withstand this Japanese attack.
Therefore, he chose to deploy the main force in the area along the Yellow River.
At this time, the two Japanese divisions on the opposite side were also watching with eager eyes, but they did not launch an attack on them.
Standing on the position on the bank of the Yellow River, Zuo Wen could clearly see the Japanese flag flying on the opposite bank of the Yellow River.
At this time, there was only a piece of silt left in the Yellow River and there was no water.
The Japanese army only needed to lay wooden planks on top of the mud to rush over.
Without the natural barrier of the Yellow River, they are the only line of defense.
The two Japanese divisions opposite were commanded by Lieutenant General Tsurutagawa Masao.
He has received a telegram from Jiro Montenegro in the early morning, saying that they are less than 20 kilometers away from here.
It is hoped that the offensive troops led by him can launch an attack on the enemies along the Yellow River, thereby helping them break out of the enemy's encirclement.
His short and stocky body was standing upright on the war horse, looking at the distant bank of the Yellow River with a high-power telescope.
¡°The enemy¡¯s defense line is very solid, with almost no loopholes.
If we wantTo break through the enemy's defense line, I'm afraid I have to pay a high price. "
Tsurutagawa Katsuo sighed with emotion.
The Japanese chief of staff next to him said: "It is indeed true. Our scout troops have already investigated. There are many tidal flats in the Yellow River. Even if wooden boards and straw mats are laid, our tanks and armored vehicles may not be able to pass directly. They can only pass here. side, providing certain artillery support.
However, our infantry and cavalry units can pass there and launch an attack on the enemy.
Now, our artillery units are ready and can launch a violent bombardment of the enemy's defensive positions at any time. "
Tsurutagawa Masao nodded and said: "Order the three brigades responsible for the main attack to launch a full-scale attack on the front.
At the same time, the heavy artillery troops and mountain artillery troops should not skimp on artillery shells and carry out covering bombardment of the enemy's coastal positions. "
"yes!!"
His chief of staff said, and gave the order for the bombardment.
After receiving the order, the Japanese army's nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various types in the rear immediately launched a bombardment of the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions.
At this time, Zuo Wen, who was observing the movements of the Japanese army at the position along the Yellow River, heard the swishing sound and immediately shouted: "Japanese artillery attack!!!"
Before he could finish his words, the soldiers next to him pulled him down from the trench and dragged him directly into the air-raid shelter next to him.
As soon as he entered the air-raid shelter, a shell fired by the Japanese army hit the spot where he was standing.
"Boom!"
The deafening roar shrouded the entire Eighth Route Army's defensive position in explosions and smoke.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the position hid in the cat-ear holes on one side of the trench.
Some soldiers who did not escape in time were blown away by the Japanese artillery. When they landed on the ground, only stumps and broken arms were left.
While the Japanese artillery was bombarding, their infantry troops also began to come to the bed of the Yellow River and began to advance towards the other side of the Yellow River.
Each of them carries a large piece of wood, logs, straw mats, etc.
By spreading these things in the mud of the Yellow River, the infantry can pass directly. There is no need to worry about getting stuck in the mud and being unable to move.
