Anti-Japanese Jagged Captain

Chapter 178 Moving Forward
With the support of artillery, the firepower of the defenders came up, and they began to organize an effective defense. Soon, the battle entered a tug of war.

At this time, the tug-of-war is the hope of the revolutionary army. They can delay as long as they can, and they can buy time for the retreat of the main force.

Finally, at nine hours on No.40, Tang Zhan's messenger came back to report the news. The main force all crossed the river, and at the same time Tang Zhan brought new orders.

Because the number of the little devil's attacking troops is gradually increasing, it is impossible for the 300-strong army to cross the river, so Tang Zhan asked them not to blow up the anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers, and Stalin's hammer for the time being, and retreat to the ferry with these baggage, but don't Swim across and go east along the Luoyang River.

The two sides of the Luoyang River are not sandy beaches, but alluvial plains that have just taken shape, so go east along this road, and there is a ferry in the east, and crossing the river can be realized at that ferry!
Because Tang Zhan understands that the little devils at this time also know that they want to destroy Tang Zhan's main force instead of covering the troops. After they get the Tianfeng pass, they will definitely choose to cross the river and form a pincer attack on Tang Zhan with the little devils on the other side of the river .

And this small army of devils will not choose to chase, their heavy firepower is far inferior, and even if they win, it is meaningless, they will think that the latter is more important than destroying this army and chasing Tang Zhan .

The four battalion commanders were very moved, because they had become the main force at this time. In order to cover their retreat, Tang Zhan didn't even sink the boat, in order to let the little devils keep pace and chase the main force better!

But moved, they hurriedly carried out the order, and when they retreated along the alluvial plain, they found that the little devil had stopped chasing them.

At the same time, the little devil also started to cross the river.

But obviously, the little devil did not have such a high degree of organizational discipline, and the work of crossing the river was progressing slowly.

After the main force crossed the Luoyang River, they set off all the way west, and the second stage officially began.

First of all, they wanted to take Heyue County, thirty miles away, to rest there and get some food supplements at the same time.

Because of crossing the river, a lot of food was lost!

At the same time, Tang Zhan sent a squad of soldiers to go east with orders to meet the broken troops after swimming!

The book is short, the pioneer camp came to Heyue County, Heyue County is located on a plain, facing mountains and backing water, and then there is a vast and endless plain.

It is fatal to carry out urban battles on the plains, and Tang Zhan also knows this problem.

Tang Zhan shouted: "Comrades, the little devils are pressing on behind us. We must take this city. Do you have confidence?"

The mental exhaustion along the way did not distract the revolutionary army. On the contrary, Tang Zhan's enthusiasm was high because Tang Zhan did not treat the troops after the end of the war!
"Yes, yes, yes!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and also declared their determination to win.

Soon, the assumption of the mortar position was completed, and as the infantry charged desperately, the shells fell on the city gate, and the little devil was caught off guard!

Because it was already late at night after Tang Zhan crossed the river, and the reconnaissance plane could not find any traces of the revolutionary army at all, so Doihara Ichiro didn't know which direction Tang Zhan was going to go.

But now that they knew, the little devils began to increase troops to Heyue County.

The battle was extremely difficult, but despite the loss of all kinds of heavy artillery, the mortars still suppressed the firepower of the little devils defending the city. In this way, although the attack was difficult, not many people were lost.

On the other side, the order led by that squad was to order the follow-up troops to go around the enemy's rear, attack the enemy from the back of the enemy, and form a front and rear pincer attack!

This trick once again saved the Revolutionary Army.

Soon, the revolutionary army that swam across joined the battle, and the little devil resisted tenaciously. However, due to the weak city defense force and insufficient firepower, the supply of goods could not be supplied, so the little devil declared his surrender.

Tang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, and swaggered into the city.

He has accumulated a lot of military industrial points, but these military industrial points cannot be exchanged for heavy firepower weapons at present, because most of the roads ahead are mountain roads, and carrying heavy firepower weapons is undoubtedly suicide.

He exchanged for RPGs and light machine guns as much as possible, supplementing firepower without burdening the troops. ,
After entering the city, as expected, the common people still lined the road to welcome, with high spirits.

Tang Zhan did not expect this point, the enthusiasm of the people is simply too high!
"Long live the Revolutionary Army!"

"Long live the Revolutionary Army!"

"Long live the Revolutionary Army!"

The people cheered loudly.

Tang Zhan planned to rest here for three days, because he concluded that the little devil's reinforcements would not come too soon.

Since the people are enthusiastic, the work will be carried out easily.

Through investigation, Tang Zhan discovered that there were three local tyrants and evil gentry in the city, with the help of little devils, who often oppressed the people and made them miserable.

So in order to gain the support of the common people, Tang Zhan directly shot the three local tyrants and evil gentry to death!
"Bang bang bang" after Sansheng gunshot, the people in the city immediately cheered!
And Tang Zhan wisely chose to distribute the wealth of the local tyrants and evil gentry and countless grains to the common people!
From this, the common people also know that this group of revolutionary army is different from those little devils before, they are willing to help Tang Zhan sincerely!
Therefore, Tang Zhan raised 2 catties of grain and [-] silver dollars here, and at the same time increased his troops by [-].

That's right, Tang Zhan had lost 2000 men in the first stage, and now he urgently needs to replenish his troops.

After doing all this, three days just arrived, and Tang Zhan led the troops to leave at the speed of light, heading for the next destination.

And the little devil once again rushed to nothing.

Tang Zhan's next destination is the county named Ye Fang. This county occupies the commanding heights where two valleys intersect.

After three days and three nights of trekking, the troops finally boarded the Tianhua Mountains and quietly marched along the plains to the highlands.

Tang Zhan also knew for a long time that the little devil had a reconnaissance plane. This time, in order to prevent the troops from being exposed, Tang Zhan chose to stop advancing during the time period from [-] am to [-] pm.

To put it bluntly, it means sleeping during the day and marching at night!
More than half of the troops defending the city were transferred by Ichiro Doihara to besiege Tang Zhan. How did they know that Tang Zhan had quietly appeared before them.

When they were attacked, the defending troops were frightened. They thought that Tang Zhan could not come to them because of the cover of the reconnaissance plane, but they thought too much, and Tang Zhan really came!
Violent artillery fire hit the little devil's position. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the little devil was wiped out, and Tang Zhan occupied the city.

Of course, occupying this city is not Tang Zhan's main purpose.

He wanted to stay three battalions and use this place as a base to attack the little devils who wanted to chase him after hearing the news.

And he led a large army down to the valley, and continued to advance along the natural barrier.
