I am helping

at the same time.

In the city of Datong.

Although the transfer order of the Mongolian Army Command has been issued to all units.

But I haven't had time to say hello to the 1st Division in Datong City.

The devils of the 1st Division thought that the Mongolian Army and the Eighth Route Army were fighting fiercely outside the city.

Mitsuo Nakazawa and Taro Eguchi commanded the devil infantry of the 1st Division, and under the cover of fire such as mortars, infantry guns, and grenades, they attacked the north city wall wave after wave.

The devils of the 1st Division desperately launched a squadron-level attack along the street towards the city wall.

If it weren't for the terrain being unfavorable for the devils to spread out, the devils of the 1st division would have launched a brigade-level attack on the city wall.

North wall.

The dense firepower composed of dozens of light machine guns, M1917 heavy machine guns, M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, and Oerlikon 20mm machine guns worked almost non-stop.

Cooperate with the mortar and artillery of the Eighth Route Army on the city wall and outside the city wall.

The dense shells and bullet rain firmly suppressed the devils of the 1st Division at a position 100 meters away from the city wall, leaving behind pieces of corpses, but they could not push any further.

Simultaneously.

The observers of the Sword Squadron on the city wall called the 105mm artillery outside the city to shell the firepower of the Devils machine guns arranged on the street.

Although artillery coverage cannot be carried out into the city, the Eighth Route Army has top artillery and artillery observers.

The artillery and artillery observers cooperated with each other, causing heavy losses to the devil's machine gun firepower.

The more intense the Eighth Route Army's resistance, the more excited the devil's attack was.

The devils of the 1st Division concentrated almost all the small-caliber artillery fire of the entire division and fired shells at the north city wall.

Continuous explosions rose on the city wall, almost covering the entire northern city wall in gunpowder smoke.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the devil's sixth wave of attacks began.

In the endless smoke of artillery fire, the soldiers were braving the artillery fire, braving the shrapnel flying at any time, listening to the deafening roar in their ears, and operating the machine guns.

The organic gunner was knocked down by the blast wave and shrapnel, and the deputy shooter and ammunition man next to him immediately stepped up.

Under the ladder outside the city wall, hundreds of machine gunners and ammunition men were ready to climb the city wall at any time. None of the soldiers chose to back down, they all signed up on their own initiative.

The flames of the machine gun never stopped, spewing out barrage after barrage, shooting and killing more than 200 devils in a squadron on the street.

The sixth attack failed.

Immediately afterwards, Changjiangguchi Taro, the staff officer of the 1st Division, dispatched the seventh squadron to launch a desperate charge against the city wall.

But the result did not change in the slightest. All the squadron died on the way to charge, and no one survived.

In terms of Bushido spirit, the devils of the 1st Division can rank among the top few in the entire Japanese Army.

Mitsuo Nakazawa and Taro Eguchi naturally knew that refueling tactics were a taboo for military strategists.

But they had no choice. A chariot regiment and an infantry regiment of the Mongolian army had already attacked outside the northern city wall.

Both old devils thought that the Eighth Route Army at this time was at the end of its strength and was on the verge of collapse across the board.

After the eighth infantry squadron all died on the way to charge, Mitsuo Nakazawa and Taro Eguchi finally noticed something was wrong.

At this time, the 1st Division had lost nearly one infantry regiment, as well as a large number of small-caliber artillery, machine gunners, and grenadiers.

In the 1st Division Headquarters.

Sanfu Zhongze then ordered to stop the attack on the city wall occupied by the Eighth Route Army and listen carefully.

Although there were gunshots and gunfire outside the northern city wall, the gunfire and gunfire were very small. The battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Mongolian Army was at least a few kilometers away.

Staff officer Changjiangguchi Taro's face was ugly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we seem to have been deceived by the Mongolian Army..."

Before that, the headquarters of the Mongolian Army notified the 1st Division, the 17th Tank Wing of the Mongolian Army and the infantry wing of the 3rd Tank Division of the Mongolian Army.

It has attacked to a position 1.5 kilometers away from the north city wall, and has seen the Eighth Route Army outside the city wall.

1 chariot regiment plus 1 infantry regiment, of course, the combat effectiveness is leveraged.

This allowed Mitsuo Nakazawa and Taro Eguchi to see the dawn of victory.

Even with refueling tactics, the two old devils still organized an infantry squadron-level attack, and it was seamlessly connected.

The last infantry squadron had just been killed, and the next infantry squadron was immediately dispatched.

Mitsuo Nakazawa's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot: "Immediately use the radio to ask the headquarters of the Garrison Army in Mongolia, and ask Amakasu Shigetaro, where did the infantry regiment of the 17th Tank Regiment and the 3rd Tank Division attack?"

The communications staff officer came over with a helpless tone:

"Your Excellency, Commander, our radio station has been calling the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, but they have not responded."

"Hakata!" Nakazawa Sanfu pulled out his command saber slickly, and said angrily, "Amakasu Shigetaro, this trash, dares to cheat our 1st Division?"

What about the cooperation between the inside and the outside?

It's all deceptive.

"Your Excellency, division commander, there is another possibility."

"A chariot division and an infantry regiment of the Mongolian Army have been defeated by the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army and have been unable to reach the city of Datong."

Although Eguchi Taro was also very angry, but at this time, he was still able to keep thinking.

Hearing this, Mitsuo Nakazawa became even more furious: "Even if the troops of the Mongolian Army that came to reinforce us were defeated by the Eighth Route Army, then Amakasu Shigetaro should have informed us that our 1st Division lost so many outstanding elite soldiers in vain. , I will definitely report this matter to General Neiji Okamura."

After this battle is over, Mitsuo Nakazawa is going to participate in a book by Shigetaro Amakasu.

After a pause, Sanfu Nakazawa looked at the communications staff officer: "Immediately use the radio to call the headquarters of the 3rd Tank Division and the headquarters of the 26th Division!"

"Hi!"

The communications officer turned and left.

After a while, the communications staff hurriedly returned to the war hall, and reported to Mitsuo Nakazawa in a hurried tone:
"Report to the head of the division, the communications department has just contacted the headquarters of the 26th division, the headquarters of the Mongolian army..."

"What's wrong with the headquarters of the Garrison Mongolian Army?" Sanfu Nakazawa asked in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Eguchi Taro on the side also realized something was wrong.

However, the two old devils did not think in a worse direction.

这次来增援第1师团和第一军的是驻蒙军的主力，兵力主要是战车第3师团、第26师团和混成第2旅团，精锐部队3万多人。

More than 300 tanks, dozens of armored vehicles, and 2 artillery wings.

Moreover, there are more than 1500 trucks, thousands of mule carts, and sufficient combat supplies.

Taking a step back, even if the garrison in Mongolia cannot beat the Eighth Route Army, it wouldn't be defeated so quickly, right?
After a pause, the communications staff reported in a deep voice: "The headquarters of the Garrison Mongolian Army was hit by heavy artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army. Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro and Lieutenant General Nishihara Ichitsu were crushed!"

After finishing speaking, the communications staff bowed his head to express his condolences to Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku.

"Nani?" Mitsuo Nakazawa's eyes widened suddenly, "Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku's jades are broken?"

Issaku Nishihara is the commander of the 3rd Chariot Division, and Miu Nakazawa naturally knows him too.

Eguchi Taro and several combat staff officers on the side also cast unbelievably shocked gazes.

The headquarters of the Mongolian Army was beheaded by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army?

This is simply unimaginable. If two lieutenant generals are lost at once, the main force of the garrison in Mongolia will surely fall into a leaderless situation, and the garrison in Mongolia will probably be defeated by the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi!" The communication staff officer said in a positive tone, "This is what Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda, the commander of the 26th Division, told me personally. Turning in the direction of the county, Lieutenant General Kuroda asked us to report this situation to the North China Front Army Command by secret telegram..."

The radio station of the Mongolian Army was on the run at this time, and naturally it had no time to generate electricity for the North China Front Army Command.

Sanfu Nakazawa's face darkened, is there still a secret message?
I am afraid that the conversation between the 1st Division and the Mongolian Army has been monitored by the Eighth Route Army.

But at this time, it was useless to say anything, and Sanfu Nakazawa took a deep breath: "Mr. Eguchi, please write a telegram to the North China Front Army Command immediately."

"Hi!" Taro Eguchi bowed his head in response.

……

"Reporting to the commander, just now our telecommunications soldiers monitored the calls between the 1st Division and the 26th Division."

In the headquarters of the independent regiment, the communication staff officer smiled all over his face:

"Shigetoku Kuroda, the head of the 26th Division, told the 1st Division that our shelling into the depths of the enemy just now happened to blow up the headquarters of the Mongolian Army."

"Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, and Lieutenant General Issaku Nishihara, commander of the 3rd Chariot Division, were killed."

"What did you say?"

Kong Jie stood up abruptly, and asked in shock:

"Our artillery killed Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku?"

The chief of staff, the deputy head of the regiment, the political commissar, several combat staff officers, and the unsuspecting telegraph soldiers looked at the communications staff officer, and everyone's eyeballs were about to drop.

"Yes, Commander." The communications staff nodded in affirmative tone, "Our Katyusha rocket artillery battalion killed two devil lieutenant generals in the shelling more than ten minutes ago!"

Kong Jie's face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he slapped the table at the headquarters:
"Katyusha killed two lieutenant generals in one round of shelling!?"

"Enjoyable, enjoyable, this battle is enjoyable!"

"Pass my order, and all the troops will pursue the whole line according to the original plan."

If the headquarters of the Mongolian Army is killed, the main force of the Mongolian Army will inevitably lose effective command, and the remnants will not be able to retreat in an orderly manner.

At this time, it is easiest to expand the results of the battle.

After a pause, Kong Jie looked at the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, immediately draw up a telegram of this situation and report it to Commander Li Yunlong!"

"Yes!" said the Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command, War Hall.

A group of devil officers were busy in the war hall, and Arisue Seizo was reporting to Okamura Neiji the situation of various reinforcements.

Okamura Ningji's expression changed, and he asked: "The Mongolian Army is now fighting with the Eighth Route Army. How is the situation?"

"this…"

Youmojing said in an embarrassing tone:

"The headquarters of the Garrison Army in Mongolia did not take the initiative to report the situation of the battle."

After several rounds of confrontation, the garrison in Mongolia suffered losses until the headquarters was blown up and completely defeated.

After losing the battle, Amakasu Shigetaro naturally had no face to report the battle situation to the North China Front Army Command. After all, the Japanese army always likes to report good news and not bad news.

"idiot!"

Neiji Okamura scolded angrily:
"The headquarters of the Garrison Mongolian Army did not take the initiative to report it. Don't you know how to ask?"

"Hi!" Yusue Seizo wiped the cold sweat from his brow, "Your Excellency, I will ask the Communications Department to inquire about the battle situation in Datong..."

At this moment, the communications staff officer Kitani Chiao held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked to Okamura Neiji with an ugly face, and immediately reported: "Report to the commander, the 1st Division has an urgent call!"
