Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 231

In just one hour, the Second Regiment pulled out two strongholds of the Japanese army one after another. Most of the time was spent in the process of marching, but it didn't take long to pull out the strongholds of the Japanese army.

Then the second regiment attacked the strongholds on the north and south sides, sweeping across the surrounding Japanese strongholds like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

Fengle Station, an important material transfer station for the Cixian section of the Pinghan Railway, in addition to the necessary gun towers, also has bungalows and other buildings, which are used as barracks, warehouses, canteens, etc., and tactical defense arrangements are made around the entire stronghold , Digging trenches, pulling barbed wire, erecting suspension bridges.

At this time, the lights were brightly lit, and the railway patrol was changing positions, and the guards were heavily guarded.

Under normal circumstances, when there are no trains passing by at night, the security of the entire station will not be too strict. .

However, although Xu Dali's second regiment took down the two strongholds quickly, the sound of gunfire finally revealed the traces.

The supreme commander of Fengle Station was Kishitani Yuichi. As soon as he learned that the outlying strongholds were under attack, he gathered the garrison strengthening squadron, marshals, and Japanese staff in the station together for mixed formation.

In addition, in order to ensure the absolute safety of Fengle Station, a Japanese army team in the Chencun stronghold five miles away was also dropped.

Now Fengle Station has nearly two squadrons of Japanese troops alone, and there is also a battalion of the puppet army.

"Chief Kishitani, the Imura team is here to report!" After receiving the order from Kishitani Yuichi, the Japanese team leader at the Chencun stronghold quickly led his men to Fengle Station.

"Yosai, Imura-kun, I will arrange your team on the north side of the station!" Kishitani Yuichi said.

"Hi!"

"However, sir, Chencun currently only has two companies of the Imperial Association Army on defense, and I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army of China!" Imura Ichiro said hesitantly.

"Baga, the Chencun stronghold is to guard the Fengle station. It can still be built if it is gone. Don't you understand the importance of the Fengle station? There are a lot of undistributed supplies stored here. Once it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, you I can't escape the responsibility!" Kishitani Yuichi said sharply.

"Hi!" Imura Ichiro didn't dare to say anything when he saw this.

"Go and arrange your soldiers!"

"Hi!"

The entire Fengle Station was arranged like an iron barrel by Yuichi Kishitani. Because of the sufficient garrison force, the artillery towers, bunkers and the traffic trenches connected in the middle were all arranged by the Japanese army.

Fortifications were still built in the open space between the station and the outer trenches, and a battalion of the puppet army was placed in it as cannon fodder.

So far, the gun towers, bunkers, traffic trenches, and peripheral fortifications have been integrated as a whole, and light and heavy machine guns are arranged in them, forming a strict cross-fire network.

Kishitani Yuichi looked around the station and nodded in satisfaction. In his opinion, attacking the impenetrable Fengle Station with the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army was tantamount to seeking death.

The puppet army in the Chencun stronghold was regarded as an abandoned son to attract the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

Outside Fengle Station.

Zhou Weihan observed the brightly lit Fengle Station through the binoculars, and then said: "Damn it, the little devils in the station are obviously prepared, and they are on guard!"

"The detachment leader let our three regiments go up, our three regiments are confident to take it down!" Wu Qin who was on the side said firmly.

As soon as the words fell, a cavalry came quickly, got off the horse, and hurriedly said: "The enemy troops in the Chencun stronghold retreated ahead of time, and all the supplies in the stronghold have been transported away?"

"Retreat, the little devil is a strong man who cuts his wrists, very decisive!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Order all the troops to assemble and attack Fengle Station with all their strength!"

"Yes"

The headquarters of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army in Xingtai.

In the combat room, the map hanging on the wall, the Ping-Han Railway, and the strongholds near several roads in the south of Hebei were all marked in red. Every time a mark was marked, the defenders representing a stronghold lost contact. The fate is self-evident.

The head of the division, Xia Yuan Mixiong, was beaten into a daze at this time. The Eighth Route Army, which had been invisible before, came out overnight, and at least seventy strongholds in the defense zone were attacked.

"General, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is extremely fierce this time. Not only around Xingtai and Handan, but also Zhengtai Line, Tongpu Line, and Baijin Railway have all been attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Among them, the offensive near Zhengtai is the most violent!" Staff officer of the 108th Division Long said.

"The Eighth Route Army developed so rapidly in just three years. Although the empire occupied most of North China, it could not get rid of the Eighth Route Army after all, so that the disease of ringworm and scabies became a serious problem!"

"So far, we don't even know the number, strength, and deployment of the Eighth Route Army's troops participating in the battle, and we have fallen into a passive position!"

"Hmph, there are at least a dozen or so regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the defense area of ​​our division. The air force can only investigate during the day, and the Eighth Route Army deliberately chooses the time to attack at night. One night is enough for the Eighth Route Army to achieve the goal of destroying the communication line. Already!" Xia Yuan Mixiong said in a deep voice.

While the two were talking, the communications staff rushed in to report: "Your Excellency, Commander! Handan 104 Brigade sent an urgent call!"

Xia Yuan Mixiong's face darkened, and he said, "You won't tell me that Handan was besieged by the Eighth Route Army!"

The communication staff did not dare to be fooled, and hurriedly explained: "Xingtai Division Headquarters: From 20 o'clock on the [-]th, the Eighth Route Army around Handan will attack our subordinates, the Yongping-Cixian section of the Ping-Han Railway, and the road from Handan to Daming. The offensive was launched at the strongholds along the Hanchang Highway. Several support troops sent by our department were severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army. The mobile forces in Handan City were seriously insufficient. Many subordinate county defenders were trapped in the city. Attack on the station, call for tactical guidance!
The 104th Brigade, August [-]th, Showa [-]th! "

The communication staff member quickly finished reading, stood at attention and paused, waiting for Xia Yuan Mixiong's instructions.

"Baga, the waste on the fourth floor of Zhanmi is working!" Xia Yuan Mixiong scolded.

The Japanese army in Handan had no soldiers to send, and there were not many mobile forces left in the headquarters of the 108th Division in Xingtai.

At this time, the 5th Regiment of the Jinchaji Border Region was launching a fierce attack on Niangziguan on Zhengtai Road, and the 19th Regiment served as flank cover.Here is the entire Zhengtai Road heavily defended by the Japanese army.

Niangziguan is the ninth pass of the Great Wall, guarding Zhengtai Road, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Three years ago, the [-] Jinsui Army failed in a fierce battle with two divisions of the Japanese Army here and was forced to withdraw.

After the Japanese army occupied Niangziguan, they built four fortresses based on the high mountains, and the villages below the mountains were also stationed with guards and puppet troops.

All the commanders and fighters of the fifth regiment attacked the gun tower closed by Niangzi, which was built on the cliff.

Because it was an upward attack, the fifth regiment suffered heavy casualties. At the beginning, the soldiers carried the ladder and rushed to the bottom of the cliff.

The Japanese army held on to the danger, thinking that they were safe.

Then the machine guns of the fifth regiment fired at the gun tower, suppressing the firepower of the Japanese; the soldiers at the bottom of the cliff climbed up the ladder, and the Japanese army threw explosives from the gun tower, the ladder was blown off, and the soldiers died.

Without the ladder, it was very difficult to climb the cliff. The Eighth Route Army tied the leggings together, organized death squads, rushed to the bottom of the Japanese gun tower, and climbed up with the ladder.

Then, the top fighter lowered his leggings and hoisted the people below up one by one.

The battle lasted all night, and the Fifth Regiment paid a heavy price to capture Niangziguan
