Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 372 The battle in Lucheng, a strategic detour
Lucheng, along the Hanchang Highway.

The 1939st Division is a three-unit garrison division established in Japan in 237. It has three infantry regiments 238, 239, and [-], and the [-]st Regiment of the Mountain Artillery.

Among them, the 237th Regiment was the Nara Regiment that was wiped out by the main force of the 386th Brigade in Shentouling, so the [-]st Regiment just transferred from Linfen was not full.

In addition, it was necessary to add some troops to maintain law and order around Changzhi, and the national army in the south of Changzhi needed to keep an eye on it. Therefore, the 238th Regiment and a mountain artillery brigade were left behind to garrison.

Ding Wei's 28th Regiment had been fighting with the vanguard of the [-]st Division before. When the plane came, I would drill into the woods, and when it left, I would continue to fight. It has won the essence of guerrilla warfare.

After the three battalions of Li Yunlong's new regiment came to support them, the force was even worse, and the Japanese army that once fought retreated again and again.

However, the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment did not join forces to eat up the vanguard of the [-]st Division. Li Yunlong, a daring guy, instead concentrated his efforts on attacking Weizi Town in the northeast of Lucheng, and wiped out the [-]st Division in one fell swoop. The army was broken in two.

At this time, the entire battle in Tainan was mainly concentrated in the two areas of Lucheng and Pingshun.

The 239th Regiment of the Japanese Army and the two Mountain Artillery Battalions were dragged by the Xinyi Regiment and the 28th Regiment along Lucheng, while the Fourth Regiment of the Independent Detachment aggressively attacked the Japanese strongholds in Pingshun, where the Japanese army was slightly weak.

Lucheng, the headquarters of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army.

Tian Daoshengwu, the head of the division, was listening to the adjutant's report on the battle ahead, and when he heard that Weizi Town was captured by the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't help being furious.

"Baga, the previous information shows that only the independent detachment in Wuyi in Tainan is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Where did so many of the main force of the Eighth Route Army come from now? There is an Eighth Route Army in Pingshun, and there is also an Eighth Route Army in Lucheng. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army from Taiyue, Taihang, and the central and northern part all ran to Tainan? Or did the leader of the independent detachment fly over from Lijiagou?" Tian Daoshengwu yelled angrily.

The adjutant understands why the head of the division is angry. First, the Yamazaki Brigade was completely wiped out in the Lijiagou area. None of them were seen.

As far away as Beiping, Okamura Ningji was very concerned about the war in Tainan. Seeing that the battle of the [-]st Division was not going well, he sent many telegrams to urge him, with sharp words.

Tian Daoshengwu was so angry because he was afraid of being held accountable after the war.
In contrast, the first part of the 104th Brigade departing from Handan was "advancing triumphantly". Judging from the battle report submitted above, it was invincible in Wuyi and Wu'an. Terauchi Yong even sent an inquiry telegram to Tian Daoshengwu, asking him to confirm independence The specific location of the detachment.

"Division commander, judging from the current situation, the independent detachment will definitely not be in Wuyi, otherwise the 104th brigade will not be able to achieve such a record. Although the Eighth Route Army in front of us cannot determine the number, I think they are the independent detachment. General Gangcun named them The Eighth Route Army that will be wiped out!" said the adjutant at the side.

Tian Daoshengwu suddenly realized at this time that because of Okamura Ningji's order, the [-]st Division mustered up their morale to fight the independent detachment, but in the end they couldn't find any trace.

"I understand. Immediately inform the 104th Brigade that the Eighth Route Army's independent detachment is fighting with us. I request it to rush to Lucheng and join hands to destroy the independent detachment!" Tian Daoshengwu said anxiously.

"Order the troops around Pingshun to guard against death, wait for the main force of the imperial army to free up, and then wipe out Pingshun's Eighth Route Army!"

At this time, Tian Daoshengwu didn't want to dig into the horns anymore, he just wanted to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in front of him immediately, and use the record to wash away the previous shame of the [-]st Division. As for whether it was an independent detachment, Tian Daoshengwu didn't want to care anymore.

The words are divided into two parts.

Knowing that Lucheng was fighting well, Zhou Weihan immediately felt relieved, and hurriedly ordered the First Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, and Artillery Battalion to march towards Pingshun.

After comparing the strength of the two sides, Zhou Weihan found that his side had the upper hand, and his strategy was bolder, which was also influenced by Li Yunlong.

Invade Pingshun, if you divide your troops from the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army, my two regiments in Lucheng will dare to eat up your remaining troops, and the troops who come to Pingshun for reinforcements will not even try to escape. , Detour to the south of Lucheng, and stab your ass in the back.

Ding Wei's 28th Regiment was in the north, Li Yunxin's 239st Regiment was located in Weizi Town, and the main force of the independent detachment led by Zhou Weihan was in the south. His [-]th Regiment and the two mountain artillery brigades were completely separated along the Lucheng line.

Micro town.

Li Yunlong grinned like a flower, he didn't expect his "unintentional action" to become the decisive victory of the battle.

On the side, Luo Benzhong was complaining that Li Yunlong was too reckless in attacking Weizi Town, and put the Xinyi Regiment in a situation of being attacked on both sides.

"My Luo Da political commissar, our old Li will not hide from you. Your old Luo's political skills are indeed not bad, but the military vision needs to be strengthened!" Li Yunlong said solemnly.

Luo Benzhong was laughed angrily after hearing this, and told Li Yunlong to speak bluntly.

"To be honest, the enemy and us have fought each other before, and the opponent's combat effectiveness is generally clear. As far as the strength of the three battalions of our Xinyi regiment and Ding Wei's 28th regiment are clearly shown, the little devil's infantry regiment With the two artillery brigades, we have to think carefully, dare to fight with us!" Li Yunlong said proudly.

"However, the Japanese army is not a vegetarian. They fight tough battles. Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. I don't want to fight this kind of battle. Besides, what if the Japanese army still in Lucheng ran away?"

"What's the situation now? Our regiment is in the middle. The vanguard of the Japanese army is in a car. The two Japanese troops are separated too far. As a result, this infantry brigade and some artillery are entangled by the 28th regiment. What do these little devils get back? To fight Weizi Town, our new regiment only needs to face the two infantry brigades that have just arrived in Lucheng, and the little devil's plane can continue to blow up my head?"

"Let's talk about Zhou Weihanna, the Fourth Regiment has already opened up the passage in Pingshun. With the mobility of the main force of the independent detachment led by him, it will take less than a day to realize the strategic detour from Wu'an via Pingshun to Lucheng!"

"Hey, at that time, the little devil's strength is not enough for our teeth!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Although Zhou Weihan didn't elaborate on the battle plan in the telegram, Li Yunlong really has some military talents. Through the telegram last week, Weihan said that the movement of the independent detachment was almost inseparable.

"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, but the artillery firepower of the Japanese army and the aircraft are not vegetarians. I will be responsible for letting the soldiers build fortifications outside the town!" Luo Benzhong finally said.

Seeing that Luo Benzhong was persuaded by him, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel a little proud. This political commissar was barely to his liking, and he could urinate into a pot.
