I am helping

Chapter 654 Is it so fast?
Yangquan.

The headquarters of the 37th Division, the combat room.

Officers of the 23th Division headquarters, including division commander Anda 37, gathered together.

Several combat staff officers reported the situation according to Niangziguan Yoshida Brigade.

The Eighth Route Army of Niangziguan and the Japanese and puppet troops fighting against the enemy and ourselves were created on the sand table.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Changjiangguchi Taro, the staff officer of the 37th Division, wearing white gloves, pointed at the bamboo pole and said to the map:

"Currently, Tuba Road is building trenches in the northeast and northwest of Niangziguan."

"The Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army counterattacked once, but they were repulsed. The equipment of the Eight Route Army is average, but the ammunition is very sufficient. Their artillery has shelled Niangziguan for more than an hour."

"The Tuba Road has a large number of people, but their combat effectiveness is not strong. This should be a certain unit of the Tuba Road Jinchaji Military Region."

Anda 23 nodded, and the last point Eguchi Taro was pretty much what he thought.

"When did the first mobile detachment and the second detachment arrive at Niangziguan, and were they attacked on the way?"

Adachi 23 asked.

Niangziguan Station is a transportation fortress that runs through Shanxi and Hebei. It is a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties. Niangziguan Station has become a Japanese military depot and an important material transfer station.

The stronghold can be taken away, but Niangziguan Station must not be lost.

According to the previous practice of the Eighth Route Army, if the Eighth Route Army really wants to capture Niangziguan.

A blocking force will definitely be sent to block reinforcements from Yangquan and Jingxing counties.

No matter how bad it is, they will plant some mines halfway, blow up vehicles, and even blow up bridges to block reinforcements.

In other words, besieging points to fight for aid is also a trick that the Eighth Route Army has always used.

Wait, gather around to fight for aid?
Anda23's heart sank suddenly, realizing something was wrong.

But soon he comforted himself in his heart that the first detachment and the second detachment were elite troops with excellent equipment. If they didn't run into the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, they should be able to protect themselves even if they were ambushed.

What's more, it has been almost an hour since the departure of the first and second teams.

According to the speed of the first mobile detachment and the second detachment, I am afraid that they are already close to Niangziguan.

At this time, neither the first detachment nor the second detachment received news of being ambushed, which meant that they were not ambushed.

When the first detachment and the second detachment arrive at Niangziguan, they may be able to attack from both sides and severely damage this Tuba road.

The First Army hadn't won a battle for a long time. If he won a battle and severely damaged this country, then his promotion to the chief of staff of the North China Front Army would be a certainty.

Recently, the base camp is considering candidates for the replacement of the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army. Anda 23 is one of the candidates, mainly because he performed well in the previous battles with the 386 Brigade, the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Anda 23 would not be interested in serving as the Chief of Staff of the First Army, but the rank of Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army would be different.

After serving as the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, after a wave of gold plating, he will serve as the commander of a certain army, and then he will be promoted to a general to serve as the commander of a certain front army, and he has reached the pinnacle of his life since then.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Anda 23 breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the communication captain, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask where the first mobile detachment and the second detachment are?"

"Hi!"

The communications captain's expression froze, he bowed his head and walked out quickly.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

Only a few minutes later, the communication team leader ran in hastily again, bowed his head to Anda 23, and reported extremely fast:
"Reporting to the head of the division, the first detachment was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Pianlianggou, and the second detachment was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Longwangtu. Request tactical guidance!"

"What are you talking about?" Anda 23 couldn't hear clearly because the communication captain spoke too fast, and asked with a frown, "Is the first mobile detachment ambushed, or the second detachment?"

"Simi Marseille!"

The devil's communication captain hurriedly bowed his head to apologize, then pointed to the sand table in front of him, and said:

"The first mobile detachment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment west of Niangziguan, and the second detachment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Longwangtu east of Niangziguan."

"Senior Yamada Seijiro is already broken. The telegraphers of the two mobile detachments are requesting tactical guidance from the division headquarters!"

"Nani?" Anda 23's tone and tone suddenly rose, his face full of disbelief, "Ambush by a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"

What shocked Adachi 23 was not the ambushes of the first and second detachments, nor was it Yamada Seijiro Osa Tamaki.

Instead, two mobile detachments were ambushed by the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!
Anda 23's complexion suddenly turned livid in an instant, and all the devil's staff officers beside him, including the staff officer Changjiangguchi Taro, also suddenly widened their eyes and breathed rapidly.

If it is ambushed by other Eighth Route Army, there is still room for change.

However, being ambushed by the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the mobile first and second detachments are in big trouble!

At this time, Lieutenant General Anda 23 realized that this was a trap.

The Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army came to Zhengtai Railway to do things.

Very angry, but there is no way, even the 10th division was defeated, how could the 37th division beat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?
Since the first mobile detachment and the second detachment were ambushed, Niangziguan might also...

"Immediately send an order to maneuver the first and second detachments, don't get entangled with the enemy, and immediately transfer to Yangquan and Jingxing counties."

Lieutenant General Anda 23 ordered: "The Yoshida brigade stationed in Niangziguan immediately transfer to Yangquan!"

"In addition, immediately report this situation to the First Army Command."

"Hi!"

The communications captain bowed his head, then turned around and left quickly.

Although there is still a regiment of soldiers stationed in Yangquan City, Anda 23 dare not send troops to reinforce and respond at all.

Even if he now has a full second-line division in his hand, he doesn't dare to send troops out rashly.

Just kidding, this is the newest regiment of the Eighth Route Army with the strongest combat effectiveness, a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that can't even beat the Class A division.

If he had known that the Xinyi Regiment had arrived at the Zhengtai Railway, Anda 23 would never have sent two mobile detachments to reinforce Niangziguan.

Seeing the back of the communication captain leaving, Anda 23 sighed heavily.

After this battle, the position of Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army may not be his share...

……

at the same time.

Fierce battles in and around Niangziguan are in full swing.

Fighting took place in Pianlianggou west of Niangziguan, Longwangtu east of Niangziguan, and Niangziguan.

The sound of gunfire was crackling like dense firecrackers, and the sound of dense explosions was endless.

The reason why Li Yunlong chose to ambush the devil's reinforcements in Pianlianggou and Longwangtu was the result of careful calculations by him and Zhao Gang.

The devil's reinforcements generally dare not take the train for reinforcements.

Because it is very dangerous for the devil reinforcements to take the train, once the train is bombed halfway, or when it is on the bridge, the Eighth Route Army can kill the devil reinforcements at a very small cost.

That's why the devils equip the mobile detachment with cars and armored vehicles.

But Pianlianggou and Longwangtu are very close to Niangziguan.

Although the distance between Niangziguan and Jingxing County is slightly closer than the distance between Yangquan and Niangziguan.

However, the road from Jingxing County to Niangziguan is steeper, and there is even a large winding mountain road, so Li Yunlong concluded that the ghosts from Jingxing County and Yangquan should reach Niangziguan in about the same time.

Li Yunlong admitted that he was gambling, but he was right.

The devil mobile detachment from Yangquan and Jingxing counties to reinforce Niangziguan entered the ambush circle of the main battalion of the new regiment with a time difference of 5 minutes.

The main battalion first attacked the devil convoy with mountain artillery, and then fired with rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and machine guns.

The bazooka soldiers aimed directly at the devil trucks on the road.

In front of the experienced bazooka soldiers, the devil's truck was in a stationary state again, and the 150-meter fixed target did not have the slightest pressure on the bazooka soldiers of the main battalion.

Amidst the explosion, the devil's trucks were called out one by one.

The devils hiding under the truck, as well as the ammunition on the truck, were shattered in the explosion.

The super bazooka hits 100mm thick armored vehicles and tanks casually, not to mention devil trucks, just like shredding pieces of paper.

Anyway, the weapons and ammunition used to fight devils will be reimbursed, and the soldiers fought hard.

Under the powerful firepower, the devils began to counterattack with huge casualties, and then broke through.

The ambush line was nearly one kilometer long, and the ambush was in place before dawn, so there were inevitably loopholes in the ambush position entered.

About one squadron of devils escaped and ran towards Yangquan.

When the devil turned around and saw that the Eighth Route Army hadn't pursued him, he couldn't help showing the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

But the next moment, the joy on the faces of the devils froze suddenly, and a large group of Eighth Route cavalry suddenly rushed out from the flanks. These Eighth Route cavalry had fierce faces on their faces, and the swords in their hands made people feel chills.

Not long after, the cavalry of the first battalion of the new cavalry regiment caught up with the fleeing devil infantry.

One after another, the Yunlong saber slashed down in the air, and one after another, the heads of the devils fell into the snow.

The battle on Longwangtu's side was similar to that in Pianlianggou. In less than half an hour, the devils from the two mobile brigades were wiped out.

The news was sent to Niangziguan Station by the devil scouts by phone, and the leader of the devil team, Yoshida, suddenly froze on Monday.

The two mobile detachments were all broken?

Is it that fast?
Suddenly, Yoshida thought of something on Zhou Yi's expression. There are not many Eighth Route Army that can wipe out the Locust Army in such a short period of time. There are not many Eighth Route Army with a strengthened regiment. I am afraid that a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army has arrived.

Thinking of this, Yoshida broke out in a cold sweat on Monday.

If Xinyituan came, then Niangziguan might not be able to hold it.

At this moment, the telegram from the Yoshida brigade walked in with a telegram in his hand:

"Report to the head of the division. There is an urgent call from the Division Headquarters. Outside is the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The division commander ordered us to abandon Niangziguan immediately and transfer to Yangquan."

"Nani?" Yoshida's face changed drastically on Monday, "It's really a new group."

"Immediately issue an order to abandon Niangziguan immediately and transfer to Yangquan!"

"Hi!" The ghost phone soldier next to him reached out to grab the phone.

At this moment, there were dense and sharp whistling sounds in the sky, and the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the Xinyi Regiment began a long-range rapid shelling of Niangziguan.
