Age of Rebirth

Chapter 520 The Fall of Anyang

The troops in the front don't care what they want, and the two division commanders who are bent on making a fortune feel dissatisfied with this kind of thing that costs money and effort and is of no benefit to them. Those who have not lost the conscience of the Chinese people know that Military responsibility, the officers assigned to the front can only order the soldiers to use local materials, and barely build a few fortifications. After agreeing, the officers were disappointed, and the soldiers were also relieved.

On November [-]th, the war broke out again in North China, and the faint sound of rumbling guns frightened Tang Enbo, the two trusted commanders, and hurriedly asked the army commander to immediately deploy defenses. The division moved to the south bank of the Yellow River in Zhengzhou, and the war fought for a while. I just watched Shanxi and Shandong fight with blood and blood, Henan was safe, and Anyang didn't even see a Japanese.

The two commanders regretted it again, reluctant to part with Anyang's fat, and asked to be transferred to Anyang again. Tang Enbo was like a mirror, knowing the narrow-mindedness of these two people. These two division commanders were very loyal to themselves, and it was not good to hurt their feelings. In this way, after more than ten days of fighting in North China, these two divisions were transferred back to Anyang.

After going back and forth like this, anyone with a discerning eye can see the mystery. However, Tang Enbo knows the command ability of these two money-making experts and the combat effectiveness of the troops. Deploy the strength of two divisions, and deploy the 61st and 67th divisions of his cronies, and the [-]th Division of the Eighth Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness and the most capable fighting, on the Xinxiang defense line as a barrier for Zhengzhou. [

The [-]th Division, in the Eighth Army, is famous for being able to recruit and fight well. The division commander Cao Guangtu is very commanding and straightforward. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy in his early years. He is a typical professional soldier. The troops are also well-trained, but Don't make Tang Enbo proud, if he didn't expect the [-]th Division to work hard for him at the critical moment, Cao Guangtu's position as a teacher would have been taken by Tang Enbo long ago, and he would replace it with his confidant, and use two trusted teachers to hold the [-]th Division together. In the middle, the intent to monitor is implied.

Cao Guangtu also knew in his heart that when he arrived in Xinxiang, he must hurry up to prepare the army and build fortifications. He is an old man of the Eighth Army and knows what the commander of the army has placed in Anyang. Fighting to the death with the Japanese army, the division commander Liu Zhaoyu and himself have been friends for many years, and he also did not like the regiment commander Tang Enbo.

Cao Guangtu was busy preparing for the war in Xinxiang, counting the days in fear. He judged with his military instincts that the whole North China was full of fireworks, and Henan was so peaceful, which was abnormal in itself. It was a leisurely scene, and Tang Enbo, the head of the army, didn't take the order of Tang Qiuli, the commander in chief of the war zone, seriously. If this continues, if there is a war in Henan, the situation will be worrying.

He picked up the phone and wanted to call the headquarters of the 53rd Division. He poured out his worries with his friend Liu Zhaoyu. Liu Zhaoyu agreed with him, but both of them were marginalized generals in the Eighth Army. With combat effectiveness, he was driven home by the regiment commander Tang Enbo long ago. The two met. If the Japanese army really invaded Henan, even the last remaining soldiers would have to fight to the death. The development of the battle situation was really unfortunate for him. In terms of words, Zai Ren and Xiang Yue Qingsi chose Anyang to fight, and Cao Guangtu and Liu Zhaoyu also fulfilled their promise.

At midnight on December [-]th, the Japanese Koyama Masao Special Operations Team who sneaked into Anyang, under the cover of night, divided into two groups, and quietly lurked in the four main gates of Anyang City. After the main force of the Japanese army began to cross the river, they immediately captured The city gate opened the passage for the main force to enter Anyang.

Led by Xiaoshan himself, he walked along the embankment towards the wharf of the Zhanghe River. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but it was covered by thick dark clouds, and the night became darker and duller. From a distance, he saw a The sentry shed stands alone on the shore, and there are two faint fires, and there are high and low conversations.

As soon as Xiao Shan waved his hand, members of the Japanese special operations team quickly leaned against the dark place by the river bank, like poisonous snakes, peeking ahead. A soldier of the Central Army, standing guard at night, chatting casually, chatting enthusiastically there.

"Brother Li, it's very cold today. In ten more days, the Zhanghe River should be closed, right?" Brother Li, who seems to be a local, joined the Central Army for some reason.

"Hey, the company commander, the platoon leader, and a few squad leaders are sleeping in a warm room after drinking soju. It's really fucking unreasonable to send us two brothers here to suffer from the cold!" "Truth, do you have the money to honor these officials? Those who can lie on the hot kang and don't have to stand guard at night are the masters who can make money. We brothers are not so lucky!" After finishing speaking, there was a long cry. sigh.

Two Central Army soldiers standing guard were complaining and cursing the officials, smoking cigarettes head to head. It seemed that a small fire could bring them a little warmth, but they didn't feel it at all. A group of Japanese soldiers, Staring at them viciously, their time in this world has entered the countdown.

Suddenly, there was a gust of cold wind in front of their necks, and the severe pain instantly overwhelmed their consciousness. When they were dying, the last thing they saw was a sharp dagger pulled out from their necks, and they seemed to hear the blood rushing from their carotid arteries in their ears. With the slight sound of the sound, black shadows entered the pier like civet cats, and the color of life disappeared from the eyes of the two Central Army soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers entered a garrison of the Central Army. Except for the two sentries at the door, there was not a single sentry in the huge barracks. It was pitch black, and they all slept soundly. The murmur of words, which was their last words in the world, the Japanese soldiers coldly pulled out the daggers they carried with them, and went into each room separately.

There were bursts of dull sounds of blades entering the body, mixed with deep screams. This was the pain of being assassinated after being covered with a quilt. The strong smell of blood filled the entire barracks. When the dagger came out, everyone's body and face were covered with blood, they looked like demons from hell, but they all looked excited and boasted in Japanese in low voices that they had slaughtered a few Chinese pigs.

A company of Central Army soldiers, with more than 150 living lives, was slaughtered by the Japanese army in this way. The pier was completely under the control of Xiaoshan, and more than 100 wooden boats of different sizes made Xiaoshan think that it was Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor. What particularly favored him in the apparition was that there were actually four small steamers and several barges towing.

Katayama Haoye, who was waiting anxiously on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, was behind a large group of military officers, and behind him were tens of thousands of heavily armed Japanese soldiers. Katayama looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time, the hour hand was gradually approaching the specified time, and the sound of ticking was like a heavy hammer, beating his nervous and anxious heart.

Katayama had great confidence in Xiaoshan's raid this time, but there was no sound from the other side of the river, which made his confidence shake a bit. A squadron of more than 200 soldiers passed by. How could it be so quiet? Could it be Xiaoshan? They fell into the trap of the squadron, and the whole army was wiped out?

Katayama waited anxiously, almost going crazy. All his hopes were in this operation. A sound of motor came from the river. Katayama was refreshed and walked quickly to the shore. Masao Koyama was full of victory. With pride, he reported loudly to Katayama: "Report to Your Excellency, Head of the Brigade, the Xiaoshan Special Operations Team has fulfilled its mission and completed the mission!"

Katayama Haoye said excitedly, "To the west! Little Tiger, you made a great contribution in capturing Anyang. This classic battle example can be seen in the entire dispatched army. You have worked hard, go to rest!" Xiaoshan raised his chest , "Your Excellency, brigade commander, my subordinates are still on the other side, how can Xiaoshan slack off, please approve your Excellency, Xiaoshan will follow the first batch of troops to cross the river and enter Anyang!"

This time, Katayama is the guy who really appreciates this adventure. This is the real warrior of the empire. He glanced at the former captain of Xiaoshan and ordered: "Your brigade, the first batch to cross the river, you have to accept the order of the little tiger Do you understand?" In the last sentence, Katayama spoke in a vicious tone, full of coercion, and the brigade captain had already been slapped and scolded severely by the brigade commander. [

It was this stupid pig who almost buried a talent and delayed the big event. Facts have proved that it was me who knew the truth, and Masao Koyama did not disgrace his mission, which made the current favorable situation possible. He didn't even look back, and ordered loudly: "Board the boat!" The Japanese soldiers boarded the ferry in groups according to the sequence. Soon, more than 100 boats of different sizes were packed to the brim. More than four thousand people.

The four small steamers were loaded with eight tanks and two squadrons of artillery at Xiao Shan's suggestion. Xiao Shan's idea was that using tanks as an assault force would increase the deterrence of the imperial army and give the central troops in Anyang City The Japanese army caused even greater panic. Based on what he saw in Anyang, he judged that with the combat effectiveness of the Chinese defenders in Anyang, they were vulnerable to tanks.

Two battalions of Japanese soldiers successfully climbed to the south bank of the Zhanghe River. Unknowingly, a pack of wolves had arrived in the sleeping city of Anyang. The battle broke out suddenly. A Central Army soldier at the front got up to relieve himself. Looking up inadvertently, I saw Japanese soldiers swarming in the twilight of dawn, and they were petrified in an instant. After reacting, they turned around and ran back without even lifting their trousers, shouting in a creepy voice: "It's not good, Japan! People are coming in!"

After a few gunshots, his shouts stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground. When the soldiers of the Central Army who heard the gunshots woke up from sleepiness, the Japanese had already arrived in front of them. Chest, with the sound of gunfire, the city of Anyang became restless, and the sound of gunfire resounded through the night sky.

This ancient city is facing an imposed war, is it fate or man-made?
