The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Niangziguan is an important military town that the special regiment must pass through after entering Shanxi.

After taking Niangziguan, the troops can reach Jinzhong, which is the east gate of Taiyuan, by advancing more than 100 kilometers westward.

The terrain here is dangerous, and although there are not many Japanese and puppet troops stationed here, it is obvious that the quick reaction battalion and assault company cannot take it down.

Huang Yu decided not to hide his strength anymore.

As soon as it was dark, he led his troops to Niangziguan.

Zhou Tao, the commander of the Armored Battalion, was very excited. It had been several days since he left the base area, and the troops had been lurking day and night like turtles.

It was not easy to encounter a big battle, and the two chariot platoons had to see blood.

On the march, they began to challenge Huang Yu: "Regimental commander..."

"The terrain of Niangziguan is dangerous, and there are too many casualties in the storm..."

"You let the chariot platoon take the lead, and you must cover the attacking troops to quickly enter Niangziguan and smash the terrain advantage occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops."

Huang Yu did not refuse: "The predecessor of the armored battalion was the tank platoon directly under the Shunping garrison regiment, and many armored soldiers have been trained for more than half a year."

"The people who raided Taiyuan with us this time are basically veterans, and it's time for them to see blood."

"But after the battle starts, you can't act rashly, you must obey orders and launch an attack."

"The Japanese and puppet troops guarded against danger. If they were equipped with anti-tank weapons, no matter how many tanks we dispatched, they would be a living target for them."

Wei Dayong suddenly leaned over and asked, "Commander, are the troops planning to advance in cover?"

Huang Yu shook his head: "There is no need to hide in Shanxi."

"Taking Niangziguan, the troops march forward in a hurry, and they can kill Jinzhong in a few hours."

"Our primary goal is to destroy the Japanese tank brigade. If we continue to hide, how can we lead their tank brigade to our preset battlefield and annihilate them."

"I understand..." Wei Dayong suddenly realized.

"You are using the six tanks and armored vehicles of the Armored Battalion as bait to attract the devil tank brigade to the battlefield we want."

"Great……"

"After fighting secretly for several nights, I can finally fight a big battle tonight."

"How do you want to win Niangziguan?"

Huang Yu looked up at the convoy beside him and said, "First find a way to force out the family of the Niangziguan defenders, and then attack in a targeted manner. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, take Niangziguan as quickly as possible, and open our westward passage."

"We only brought six tanks and armored vehicles, and we cannot afford any losses."

"The first stage of the battle can only depend on you."

Wei Dayong replied confidently: "Just watch it?"

"The last thing you fear in the quick turnaround camp is bluffing..."

"I promise that within 10 minutes, Niangziguan Shoujun will expose all of her family background..."

…………

"Rumble..."

The five large-caliber mortar shells, as if they had eyes, hit the head of Niangziguan City accurately.

Flames splattered, thick smoke billowed, a section of battlements was blown up in an instant, and several devils were blown up into the sky...

Suddenly the alarm rang in the pass, and the Japanese and puppet troops swarmed out of the barracks and went straight to their respective battle positions...

The artillery launched all kinds of artillery in a panic, some on the head of Niangziguan City, and some on the open space behind the city wall...

The Japanese army headquarters also became very lively, with staff officers, guards, and orderlies everywhere rushing in and out...

The brigade captain walked in with a sullen face, and before he could ask a question, he heard the adjutant of the brigade report: "Sir..."

"We were attacked by heavy mortars from an unknown enemy..."

"The security forces at the head of the city suffered a lot of casualties..."

"The fortifications were severely damaged, and many battlements were blown up!"

"All the garrisons enter the position!" The captain opened his mouth and began to give orders, with a very serious expression.

"The artillery immediately found the enemy's artillery position... Destroy it if you can, and find a way to harass them if you can't destroy it, so as to reduce the combat pressure of the city defense forces..."

"Find out the enemy's identity, strength, and equipment as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

"The troops equipped with large-caliber mortars must not be underestimated... Maybe they attacked Niangziguan with the intention of taking us down."

"Whether we need help or not, we must report this matter to our superiors as soon as possible."

"Rumble..."

The explosions on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the shells poured into the opponent's position as if they didn't want money.

The captain of the ghost team was also frightened. After entering Niangziguan, he hadn't encountered such a fierce battle for a long time.

"Sir..." An exclamation suddenly sounded at the entrance of the command department, and the orderly rushed in like crazy.

His whole body was blackened by gunpowder smoke, and his military uniform was also torn to pieces, with blood on it. It was obvious that he had just been withdrawn from the flames of war.

At first, the team leader felt that he was unruly and wanted to get angry, but after seeing his attire and state, he couldn't get angry, and immediately asked: "Did something happen on the front line!"

"We can't hold it anymore... The Eighth Route Army attacking us is also equipped with tanks and armored vehicles..." the orderly reported in a tone of despair.

"The artillery was completely wiped out in the artillery battle just now..."

"No direct fire artillery..."

"They can hardly be hurt by light infantry weapons alone..."

"The Eighth Route Army has already reached the foot of the city wall under the cover of chariots..."

"Preparing to blast the city wall..."

"Rumble..."

A ground-shaking explosion sounded suddenly on the battlefield.

When the captain rushed out of the room, he saw a huge ball of fire rising from the city wall, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky together, forming a huge mushroom cloud over the battlefield together with the flames.

The captain's face suddenly turned pale.

He didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the indestructible Niangziguan was blasted open.

I never thought that the Eighth Route Army attacking me would be equipped with tanks and armored vehicles...

A few things completely subverted his imagination.

Turn around and run to the headquarters.

These things are too amazing, even if Niangziguan is really breached by the Eighth Route Army, I have to report these discoveries before I die.

Otherwise, more troops will suffer and be fooled in front of this Eighth Route Army in the future.

…………

Located in the Shanxi Garrison Headquarters in Taiyuan City, Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu was called to the war room by his subordinates as soon as he closed his eyes.

The staff officer on duty immediately handed over the telegram he had just received, and reported at the same time: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Niangziguan was heavily attacked by the Eighth Route Army..."

"According to the Niangziguan garrison report: The Eighth Route Army attacking them was not only equipped with a large number of heavy mortars, but also equipped with tanks and armored vehicles."

"The defenders suffered heavy casualties, the artillery was almost wiped out, and a gap was blown in the city wall of Niangziguan, which may be captured at any time..."

"Please ask the headquarters to prepare for the fall of Niangziguan..."

The impatient expression on Yoshio Iwamatsu's face was immediately wiped away. He grabbed the telegram and glanced at the ten lines. After reading it in less than half a minute, his face sank at the same time.

Stride to the sand table and analyze: "As far as I know..."

"Of all the Eighth Route Army active in Shanxi, only the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army is equipped with large-caliber mortars..."

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army that attacked Niangziguan came from Northwest Shanxi?"

The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
