Age of Rebirth

Chapter 620: Attack

On the evening of April [-], Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Yellow River Defense Regiment of the Independent Division, launched an offensive behind the enemy with less than one regiment, sweeping the Japanese army between Shexian County and Licheng. The Japanese reinforcements attacked She County again, and Sun Zhenbang became addicted to it. He even concentrated artillery fire and attacked and garrisoned two brigades of Japanese troops. Shexian County, which had a high city and thick walls, hit Zhongjie, and the troops could not attack. Sun Zhenbang took advantage of it. , ready to evacuate.

Bai Lishan, the leader of the eleventh special warfare unit, had other plans. The Japanese military supplies and medicines hoarded in Shexian County were by no means less than those in Licheng, and he was not going to evacuate just like that.Sun Zhenbang was a little bit worried when he killed another guy before leaving. The battle in Shexian County was not as good as in Licheng. occur.

Bai Lishan led the team into the gunpowder smoke, Sun Zhenbang ordered the troops to increase the firepower and attract the attention of the Japanese army here, especially the artillery, to shoot out all the cannons, so as to avoid the trouble of moving, which will be indispensable in the future Running the mountain road, these heavy equipment could not be taken away, so they were all given to the little devils. When the order was issued, the firepower of the independent division suddenly increased several times. It is said that it is a counter-assault, and it is difficult to even raise your head. If you don't get killed by the artillery of the Chinese soldiers, you will be lucky.

Sun Zhenbang knew that the harder he fought here, the safer Bailishan's situation would be. He stared intently at the east of Shexian County, and looked at his watch anxiously. An hour has passed, why hasn't there been any movement?Suddenly, the ground trembled, followed by a series of explosions. Thick smoke and flames rose up, and the smoke column rose into the air. Sun Zhenbang was very surprised, it was done! [

A group of figures returned to the position through the gunpowder smoke. Sun Zhenbang hurriedly went over and took Bai Lishan's hand and asked, "Is everything going well? Are there any casualties?" Bai Lishan's face was blackened by the gunpowder smoke, and he smiled with white teeth, "Commander Officer, the Special Operations Team 51 completed the task of blowing up the Japanese army's medical materials and returned smoothly. There were [-] members in the battle, all brought back, and one casualty!"

Sun Zhenbang punched Bai Lishan on the shoulder, "Okay, I have you, today I have seen Captain Tang's baby, I will report to the teacher and your detachment leader, and give you Bai Lishan and all the soldiers of the eleventh team Please credit!" Bai Lishan smiled honestly, such battles are commonplace for all units of the Special Operations Detachment, and Commander Sun rarely sees them.

Sun Zhenbang gave the order to retreat, and the companies took turns to cover and evacuated She County in sequence. The eight [-]-type infantry guns could not be taken away. He was a little distressed. All the companies had withdrawn. Looking at the soldiers of the special warfare unit strangely, Bai Lishan saw his doubts and told him to leave some gifts for the little devil to avoid being chased after him.

With the withdrawal of the independent division troops, the fighting in She County gradually calmed down. The Japanese army fought fiercely for a while, not knowing what was true or not. They were cautious when they saw that there were no gunshots returning fire from the opposite side, and there were no cannons flying all over the sky. They got out of the bunker that was almost flattened by the bombardment, launched a battle formation, and searched towards the west gate.

At this time, Sun Zhenbang's troops were already a few kilometers away from Shexian County. Suddenly, the already silent battlefield became active again. The sound of continuous explosions echoed in the dark night sky. Bai Lishan bared his teeth for joy. The little devil received the gift, and searched the Japanese army near the west gate. The mines and explosives preset by the special operations team cost more than 100 lives.

This is the specialty of the soldiers of the Special Operations Detachment. The cannons that could not be taken away were all made into booby traps. The Japanese soldiers in front were fine if they stepped on them, but the ones behind were unlucky. Several cannons exploded together, which was as powerful as The heavy air bomb caused the body of the Japanese soldier to fly high into the air. When it landed, it was already a lifeless corpse. It rushed out of the city gate a few steps away, but these steps were the place of death.

Finally, more than 100 human lives were exchanged for a passage, and they rushed outside the city. The night was vast, the wilderness was silent, and the surrounding mountains crouched in the distance like silent beasts. In the shadow of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers felt chills in their hearts, feeling that in the dark night, a deadly shot would be shot at any time, and they were not in the mood to track and search. Daringly, the emperor's warriors were afraid of the dark, so they hurried back to do business. The door was closed tightly again, but the flames in the city became brighter and brighter. The jumping tongues of flames wiped away the night, and the soldiers who walked far away could still hear the loud sound of explosives exploding from time to time.

The opponent withdrew, but She County was saved. From the Japanese officers to the soldiers, no one was happy. After being beaten up, they didn't even know who the opponent was. There is no way to extinguish the fire in the material and medicine warehouses, and we can only let it burn. The so-called cleaning the battlefield is a way of saving face. Among them, half-dead partners were dug out, and soldiers who were shocked by the cannon could only giggle and almost turned into idiots.

The captain of the Japanese army sat in the regiment headquarters with a dull expression. The situation in Licheng had been ascertained. A brigade of soldiers from the Imperial Army had broken jade and stored supplies and medicines. The soldiers sent to Licheng seemed to have entered a ghost land. Except for the skyrocketing fire, no one was panting. When he reported to the captain, he couldn't hide the panic on his face.

The captain of the Japanese army felt miserable. Licheng was finished, and Shexian County was not much better. All the supplies and medicines were destroyed. The soldiers of the two squadrons who were reinforced survived. In less than three hours of fierce fighting, hundreds of soldiers were crushed. Now, his wing organization has been crippled. According to the strength of the troops, he, the leader of the wing, can probably only be a squadron leader of a reinforced squadron.

The Japanese army commander sent a telegram to the division commander, detailing the battles in Licheng and Shexian County, as well as the loss of materials and medicines, and then invited all the staff and staff out of the regiment headquarters. These Japanese officers discovered that Colonel Your Excellency, the captain, with a trance-like expression, sluggish footsteps, and sleepwalking, has never been so polite to everyone. Just as he walked out, there was a muffled scream from the room, and he hurried back.

Your Excellency, Kneeling on the ground, he had already committed seppuku. He cut open his abdomen with a long command knife, and his livid intestines slid down to the ground. The splashed blood sprayed onto the sun flag. The Yin Hong was dazzling, and there was a thick bloody smell in the room. The Japanese military officers looked at each other, feeling an indescribable sadness and fear in their hearts. Although the dawn had already dawned outside, indicating that a new day was coming, the chill in the hearts of these Japanese military officers could not be dispelled.

Ningji Okamura is in the headquarters of Changzhi, and is deploying the next step. The imperial army is progressing rapidly, and the resistance encountered along the way is minimal. In one day and night, the troops have entered the front line of Tunliu, Xiangyuan, and Hongjing. In another two days and nights At that time, most of the Taihang Mountains had already fallen into the hands of the imperial army. If there was no fighting on the front line of Wuxiang, the troops on this road could directly attack and advance in the direction of Taiyuan.

Neiji Okamura regretted that Tang Qiuli's main force was not caught, and he did not catch a single Chinese citizen. The "Three Alls" policy that he ordered all troops to implement, only one light left, that is, burning houses , there is nothing to grab, I don’t know where to hide, no one to kill, they all ran away, this is a big transfer of the whole area, which requires efficient and strict organization, he adopted such a strategy for Tang Qiuli, to deal with his Surprised by the large-scale sweep.

Transferring so many people requires a huge organization and efficient and high-speed operation. It seems that Tang Qiuli has been operating in the Taihang Mountains for many years and has completely established his foothold and established his own administrative system. He strengthened Okamura Ningji's determination to destroy the Taihang Mountain base area. Raising tigers as a plague was not a foolish thing done by the generals of the Communist Party of China. He wanted to destroy the tigers before they grew sharp teeth.Neiji Okamura thought with a grim smile.

A staff officer hurried in and handed him a telegram. After reading the telegram, Neji Okamura turned pale and trembled with distress. It wasn't that he felt sorry for those soldiers, but for those materials and medicines. The empire lacked everything. He didn't take much effort to raise so many materials and medicines, and they were all destroyed overnight. The six-way mopping up troops only carried three days' worth of rations and medicines. Charge with a bulletless rifle.

Damn Chinese, Okamura Ningji cursed viciously, and ordered a division of troops to be deployed from the sweeping troops along the Hongjing Road to garrison at various points along the line from Handan to Changzhi to ensure the absolute safety of this transportation and supply line. In this way, the Japanese army in the direction of Hongjing has less than a division of more than 2 troops, making it the weakest of the six Japanese army mopping up troops.

The Japanese army no longer divides the troops, so that Tang Qiu can take advantage of the opportunity, and the speed of the Japanese army's advance also surprised him. Okamura Ningji is eager to achieve his strategic intentions, but unfortunately, he is eager to win and leaves too much. Hurry up, now, even if the Japanese army turns back, it will not be too late. In less than two hours after Sun Zhenbang's gunfire subsided during the three night battles, Tang Qiuli sent orders to attack Jingxing Pass to the Tang Qiusheng Corps and Feng Jiwu Corps in the direction of Niangziguan. Battle order.

The connection during the period was so smooth and natural, but Tang Qiuli didn't know that Sun Zhenbang had made such a big move without telling him that Okamura Ningji had to deploy troops from the front line to protect the transportation supply line. Later, annihilating the Japanese army that swept through the Taihang Mountains and severely injuring the remaining routes created favorable conditions. [

At dawn on April [-]rd, the front line of Niangziguan, which had been silent for several months, was fired at the same time. On the Japanese positions at Jingxingguan, gunpowder smoke filled the sky and the flames were soaring. Launched a fierce offensive against the Japanese army at Jingxing Pass opposite Niangziguan.
