People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

North China Front Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-san came to the battlefield in person to award the medal. Furukawa Masao, captain of the 47th Regiment, was flattered.

He looked at the medal pinned to his military uniform on his chest, with an excited expression on his face, and hurriedly began to make a statement.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, although the enemy forces have assembled sufficient combat forces in Jincheng, they are not our opponent at all."

"Our coalition is confident that we can quickly seize Jincheng in the shortest possible time, thereby opening up regional connections between southeastern Shanxi and northern Henan."

"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, we will definitely deal a fatal blow to the enemy in this battle and completely eliminate them."

"After the battle is over, there will not be any enemy troops in the Zhongtiao Mountains in southern Shanxi and northern Henan that can threaten the empire."

"The so-called 201st Division in the enemy's second theater, the Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command, will no longer exist."

Furukawa Masao vowed to make his promise, and he still has great confidence in the next battle.

After all, the First Guerrilla Brigade commanded by Xu Chengpu was obviously no match, and Masao Furukawa believed that it would not be too difficult to deal with them.

Adachi 41 encouraged him, and then set off for the northern Henan region to award the medal to Captain Ejima Torao of the st Regiment.

The results obtained by these two regiments were unexpected by the North China Front.

Originally, the North China Front was about to give up the battle, but just to save face, they were forced to continue arranging attacks.

However, Okamura Neiji and others did not expect that the 41st Regiment from the Fifth Division and the 47th Regiment from the Sixth Division would have such strength.

They made progress one after another and gained a complete advantage in combat.

The North China Front is preparing to continue fighting, and the awarding of medals this time is naturally intended to encourage these two regiments to continue fighting.

At the same time, it is also to encourage other little devil troops and let them display their due combat strength.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, after seeing off Anda 47, the th Wing launched another ferocious attack on Jincheng.

Masao Furukawa, who was wearing a medal, took personal command, and a large number of artillery continued to bombard.

The little Japs advanced rapidly, intensive gunshots rang out, and various bullets and shells were fired one after another.

The dark night gradually became brighter as the battle began.

However, adjustments had already been made in Jincheng at this time, and the Second Artillery Regiment of Zhou Wenbo quickly rushed over for reinforcements.

One Soviet-made 76.2MM field gun counterattacked one after another, directly counterattacking the Japanese artillery unit.

The artillery unit directly under the First Guerrilla Brigade cooperated with the artillery bombardment and specifically attacked the Japanese troops.

Sun Yu's regiment and Lin Zhiqiang's regiment mobilized troops to stabilize the existing positions, and at the same time organized commandos to launch an appropriate counterattack against the Japanese troops.

The two sides fought fiercely in Jincheng, and the little devils launched wave-like attacks. The fighting here was very fierce, and hand-to-hand fighting broke out in many places.

Around ten o'clock, Chu Yu commanded the 201st Division Guard Regiment and rushed to the battlefield.

As the guard regiment joined the war, the combat situation in Jincheng changed.

The regiment is mainly equipped with Jin-made shell guns, submachine guns and Czech semi-automatic rifles.

These weapons can naturally play a very important role in street fighting in the city.

Xu Chengpu received strong support, and he made adjustments and deployments according to battlefield conditions.

Each regiment retreated to the city for defense, attracting the little Japanese into the city for annihilation strikes.

Furukawa Masao, who had just received the medal, had no worries. As the First Guerrilla Brigade and other troops retreated, he immediately ordered the troops to rush into the city.

"These little devils are very powerful. They used to belong to the Sixth Division." "This is a beast force that has massacred many innocent people. Now that they are here, we can't let them go no matter what."

"The First Guerrilla Brigade is obviously preparing to use street fighting to attack them, and we can't be idle here."

"Four guerrilla brigades harass the little Japanese troops so that they cannot all enter the city to fight."

"When the troops of the New Second Regiment see that the Japs have no artillery positions, I rush over and knock out their artillery."

"Listen to me, these mountain cannons and mortars are all good things."

"Kill all the little Japanese artillery, but the artillery cannot be destroyed, and the artillery shells cannot be detonated."

Ding Wei, the leader of the guerrilla detachment, has summoned his cadres together and said with a serious expression on his face.

After hearing Ding Wei's instructions, the cadres immediately agreed.

The guerrilla detachment was originally stationed in highlands such as Laoxiong Mountain south of Luzhou City. As a result, the 47th Regiment continued its fierce attack and captured these highlands.

Ding Wei was forced to move his troops to the Jincheng area for rest and recuperation. As the Jincheng battle began, he immediately came with his troops.

After learning about the situation on the battlefield, Ding Wei issued the combat order without hesitation. He would definitely participate in the battle here.

Not long after, thousands of people from the guerrilla detachment began to participate in the battle, directly attacking the 47th Regiment on the periphery.

At this time, part of the 47th Regiment entered the city to fight and was attacked by the First Guerrilla Brigade.

One unit was attacked by a guerrilla detachment outside the city, and their artillery positions were also attacked.

The 47th Regiment, which had been hit on many fronts, was a little confused. Captain Furukawa Masao of the Colonel's Regiment briefly panicked.

But he quickly reacted, held on to the artillery position with all his strength, and began to counterattack the guerrilla detachment.

The 47th Regiment had sufficient ammunition, and a large number of artillery shells were fired directly. At the same time, their infantry began to group into groups for countercharge.

This regiment has rich combat experience. The two sides were engaged in field battles outside the city, and the little devil's individual soldiers were obviously superior in quality.

Ding Wei discovered that his troops had suffered losses in several firefights, so he immediately changed his combat strategy.

The guerrilla detachment gradually broke into pieces. Instead of conducting assaults, they carried out guerrilla attacks to harass the little Japanese and avoid direct combat with them.

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the fighting here in Jincheng was still going on. The 47th Regiment faced attacks from the First Guerrilla Brigade, the Guerrilla Detachment and other troops, and still attacked tenaciously.

Furukawa Masao was a little anxious and wanted to capture Jincheng so as to report the good news to the North China Front Army Headquarters.

But his anxiety gave the First Guerrilla Brigade a chance.

Xu Chengpu commanded the 606th Regiment, the 607th Regiment, the Guard Regiment, and the Second Artillery Regiment to fight in the city, and he could still gain certain advantages.

The little devils entered the troops inside Jincheng and suffered casualties one after another. They made almost no progress.

At the same time, east of the Qin River in the northern Henan region, the Jiangdao detachment continued to suppress.

Kong Jie commanded the Henan North Detachment and was forced to disperse and move to the northern highlands, thereby avoiding a direct decisive battle with the Jiangdao Detachment.

At around twelve o'clock, the artillery of the Jiangdao detachment was deployed in the area on the east bank of the Qin River and began to shell the troops besieging Ziling Town on the west bank.

By one o'clock in the morning, Jiangdao detachment set up positions on the east bank aggressively.

The captain of the Colonel's Regiment, Torao Eshima, immediately got in a car and met with the front army's chief of staff, Adachi Twenty-san. (End of chapter)
