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

Chen Ziyun, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei respectively commanded their troops to launch combat strikes.

The Jiangdao Detachment of the Japanese army was attacked by troops commanded by Li Yunlong to the east of the Qin River in northern Henan Province, and suffered successive casualties.

The Japanese 47th Regiment was besieged by troops commanded by Chu Yunfei in Jincheng, southeastern Shanxi, and also suffered heavy casualties.

As for the main force of the Japanese 52nd Division, two infantry regiments and one artillery regiment were surrounded and annihilated by the troops commanded by Chen Ziyun in Ziling Town in northern Henan Province.

The combat situation, which was originally favorable to the Japanese, suddenly reversed, and the casualties of the Japanese troops continued to increase.

Especially in Jincheng and Ziling Town, the Japanese were completely surrounded and it was difficult for them to break out on their own in a short period of time.

Colonel Masao Furukawa, commander of the 47th Regiment, was the first to send a telegram to the North China Front Command, requesting tactical guidance from the Front Command.

After the North China Front Army Command received the report, there was a brief confusion.

The face of the army's chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ando Jūjizo, was gloomy. After all, he had just completed the awarding of medals, but the troops were in such a passive situation.

Such a result made him feel a little ashamed, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Okamura Neiji stood in front of the map with a gloomy face and his brows tightly furrowed.

He knew clearly that relying on two reinforced elite field regiments to deal with Chen Ziyun and other troops was like looking for fish in a tree and was simply impossible.

After careful consideration, Neiji Okamura decisively issued the combat order.

He asked all units to stop fighting and gradually withdraw to areas such as Luzhou City in southeastern Shanxi and Shanyang City east of Qin River in northern Henan, and restore the situation before the battle.

In order to ensure that these troops could be withdrawn safely, Okamura Neiji made special deployment arrangements.

The 53rd Division stationed in southeastern Shanxi was responsible for evacuating the 47th Regiment in the Jincheng area.

The 41st Division stationed in the southern Hebei area dispatched troops to the northern Henan area to establish contact with the Jiangdao Detachment.

Then they had to quickly advance to the west of Qin River to support the withdrawal of the main force of the 52nd Division in the Ziling Town area.

The air force must provide full support to ensure that these troops can be withdrawn safely.

After the Japanese troops issued the combat order, various units began to mobilize urgently.

In the early morning of August 23, the Japanese began to organize troops and immediately launched a rescue operation.

However, these troops continued to advance onto the battlefield, where they continued to be attacked and suffered certain casualties.

On the morning of August 47, the th Regiment suffered heavy losses in Jincheng and retreated to Luzhou City in a panic.

It was not until early September that the 41st Division's dispatched troops were able to establish contact with the Jiangdao Detachment.

Afterwards, both sides assembled nearly 52 troops and advanced aggressively to the west of Qin River, preparing to support the withdrawal of the main force of the nd Division in Ziling Town.

However, they were intercepted by Li Yunlong's Independent Detachment, Ding Wei's Guerrilla Detachment, Kong Jie's Northern Henan Detachment, and Xu Chengpu's First Guerrilla Brigade.

The troops of both sides fought fiercely repeatedly, and both sides suffered casualties.

The battle lasted until September 10th. The Japanese fought fiercely for several days but were still unable to break through the blocking positions.

It was on this day that the Chu Yu Guard Regiment directly under the 201st Division quickly arrived at the battlefield to assist the troops in defense.

Chen Ming commanded various units to actively launch encirclement and annihilation operations and continue to attack the Japanese in Ziling Town.

Time passed bit by bit, and the Japanese continued to organize troops to launch a fierce attack.

By the end of September, as various troops gradually made way for the roads, the Japanese troops crossed the Qin River one after another.

However, when the Japanese arrived at Ziling Town, there were not many Japanese troops left.

The 69th Regiment, the 107th Regiment, and the Field Artillery Regiment suffered heavy casualties. The bodies of the Japanese soldiers were everywhere, and the remaining seriously injured were dying. The entire Ziling Town was like a hell on earth.

Of course, all the weapons and equipment of the Japanese had been seized and taken away. When the Japanese reinforcements saw this scene, they were terrified.

The Japanese officers in command of the operation quickly sent telegrams to keep in touch, and it was not until mid-October that the Japanese transported the bodies away from Ziling Town.

After this battle, the Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties.

The 41st and 47th Regiments were severely damaged and urgently needed replenishment and rest.

As for the 52nd Division, it can be said that it has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

After this battle, the few capable field troops of the Japanese devils needed to calm down for the time being.

They must rest and replenish before they can regain their combat effectiveness.

As for the other security divisions, they had fought with Chen Ziyun's troops before, but none of them was a match for them.

It is almost impossible to arrange for them to launch combat operations against Chen Ziyun's troops now.

Even if these troops do not have to undertake defensive garrison tasks, they do not have the courage to confront Chen Ziyun's troops head-on.

In the following period of time, the Japanese did not organize troops to attack again.

Chen Ziyun and other troops also suffered casualties and were actively resting and replenishing.

For a period of time, there was no fighting between them.

Chen Ziyun also relied on the system and the headquarters to gradually strengthen the weapons and equipment of his troops.

Of course, Chen Ziyun will help Li Yunlong and others whenever he can.

Two or three months passed quickly, and by February 194, the defeat of the Japanese was almost certain.

However, the Japanese, unwilling to accept defeat, still attempted to launch a large-scale battle inside the Great Wall, thus completely ending the fighting here.

They wanted to defeat the defending troops and establish communication so that they would have enough power to defend themselves and form absolute protection for their homeland.

A large number of troops began to mobilize. The Operation No. 1 plan drawn up by the Japanese this time could be said to be their last-ditch effort using all their strength.

On February 15, General Okamura Yasuji, commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, issued an operational order to eliminate enemy forces in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi.

This time, Okamura Yasuji was going to personally command the battle in order to completely eliminate all enemy forces in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Because their next Operation No. 1 priority is to open up the southern section of the Pinghan Railway.

If one wants to open up the southern section of the Pinghan Railway, the troops of Chen Ziyun, Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and others in Zhongtiao Mountain must be completely eliminated.

If we can't eliminate them, the Japanese will feel like a thorn in our throat and will never feel comfortable.

Having learned from the lessons of previous battles, this time Okamura Neiji assembled an absolute main force.

52nd Division, 53rd Division, Iron Stone Unit, Ejima Detachment, Furukawa Detachment.

This time they assembled a force of more than 70,000 in an attempt to encircle and annihilate all the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Of course, after so many troops finish the Zhongtiao Mountain battle, they will quickly cross the Yellow River to assist the 12th Army in launching Operation No. .

As Okamura Yasuji issued the combat order, the Japanese and puppet troops began to carry out large-scale mobilization.

They began to go to different areas, ready to attack.

The Japanese and puppet troops were well prepared for this battle. (End of this chapter)
