Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Hearing the words of the infantry captain with a bit of resentment, the Japanese army captain shook his head and said: "You guys have also seen the effect of the airdrop of supplies. Nearly half of the supplies airdropped by the air force the day before yesterday floated to the positions of the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

What we have to do now is to save the only supplies and try our best to break out in the direction of Xinzhou.As long as we can successfully break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army outside the city and enter Xinzhou, we will have a chance to break through.

Moreover, according to Commander Itagaki's order, after the successful breakout, all ministries broke out in brigades.If we join forces, the target is too large and it is easy to be surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In contrast, if we break out into a large group, some of us may be able to successfully break out to Xinzhou City.At that time, the main force of the Fifth Division stationed there will send troops to help us break through.

Although I know it's hard, we don't have much food.If we were trapped for another two days, we would all be left without food.In this case, we had to break out as soon as possible and go outside the city to find supplies.

After the successful breakout, the ministries don't have to worry about anything.Whether you are civilians or troops on the way to break out, there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to kill.Snatch all their things, kill all the people here, and avenge the shame of the soldiers of the empire. "

'Hi! '

This kind of desperate strategy to break out of the siege made the Japanese infantry captain, who was almost crazy during this period, also look very excited.For them, this policy of looting and killing is undoubtedly the favorite of their soldiers.

When formulating the breakthrough method, the infantry regiment stationed in Shuozhou finally dispatched half of the infantry brigade to urge the puppet army brigade in the city to break through in the direction of North China.These people act more as feints.

As the little devils in the city began to pack up their weapons and ammunition, they made rice balls and steamed buns for the soldiers with all the food they had.The reconnaissance unit of the first division lurking in the city also realized that something was wrong.

After receiving the news from the reconnaissance team, Zhang Cheng quickly said: "It seems that the little devil can't hold back and is ready to break through! Order the main regiments to strengthen the fortifications of the blocking positions. The division is directly under the artillery regiment and enters the combat position. "

"Master, we still don't know which direction the little devil is going to break through!" '

Hearing what the chief of staff said, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "In addition to the direction of Taiyuan, the little devil can go there to break through. To the direction of Datong, there is the area under the responsibility of the second division and the commander. How could they break through successfully?

To break out of the encirclement in North China, they need to pass through the defense zones of the 129th Division and the 115th Division. Do you think it is possible to break through successfully?As for breaking out to our base area, it is even more impossible.

Right now, the only hope of breaking through is the direction of Taiyuan.Regardless of the distance or the troops stationed on this line, it is the best breakout route for them.But no matter what, we must be fully prepared.

The division is directly under the reconnaissance battalion and sent to a blocking position, and the division is directly under the cavalry regiment to make preparations to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the little devils.If these little devils are really allowed to flee to the base area to wreak havoc, our people and the guerrillas will be in danger. "

'yes!Master! '

Following Zhang Cheng's order, the first division that was planning to attack also temporarily adjusted its deployment.Strengthen the defense of the blocking positions in each city, and wait for the Japanese army in Shuozhou City to open the city gate obediently to break through.

This wait didn't last long. At noon, a force of thousands of people started a breakout operation in the direction of the three regiments blocking the attack.Regarding the departure of this army, Zhang Cheng quickly saw that most of this army was mainly puppet troops.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "The cannon fodder of the little devil has come out! Tell the third regiment not to show mercy and beat me hard. Unless those who voluntarily surrender, or leave the city, I will wipe out all the troops.

Also, inform the county brigades to let them control the small roads around the blocking positions of the main force.If you encounter troops with little devils breaking through, use all your strength to block them and ask for help from the troops closest to them. "

In this infantry brigade consisting of thousands of people, it began to march towards the blocking position defended by the third regiment.The more than 3000 little devils in the remaining city are also making final preparations, and the direction they leave the city is exactly where the group is.

This main force, composed entirely of the Japanese army garrisoned in the city, went straight to the blocking position in charge of the first division and one regiment.The head of the regiment who heard the news also seemed very confident and began to issue orders to prepare for battle.

Right now, the most elite reconnaissance battalion of the division, as well as the artillery regiment directly under the division, and the cavalry regiment are all cooperating with them.If he still can't solve the Japanese army's voluntary delivery to the door, then he really has no way to hand over to the division headquarters!

There are cavalry to block the gap, and the artillery cooperates with them to attack and defend. One regiment only needs to hold the blocking position, so that the Japanese army out of the city cannot successfully break through.Of course, what Yituan expected more was to wipe out the Japanese army.

As the Japanese army went out of the city, they went straight to a group of defensive blocking positions.These Japanese soldiers who came out of Shuozhou knew that if they failed to break through the siege, they would all be crushed in Shuozhou.

If they want to survive, they must go all out for the next breakout.In the words of the captain of the Japanese army, one escaped during this breakout counted as one.But in the process of breaking through, everyone must use their lives.

Because, if they don't die, the breakout may fail.Even the Eighth Route Army couldn't break through the first blocking line. How could they successfully break through from Shuozhou City to the vicinity of Xinzhou City?This means that the little devil is going to risk his life!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Shuozhou is located in the northwest of Shanxi, between the inner and outer Great Wall.Adjacent to Inner Mongolia in the northwest, adjacent to Xinzhou and Yanmen Pass in the south, more than 200 kilometers away from the ancient city of Datong in the north, and more than [-] kilometers away from the provincial capital Taiyuan in the south, it is of great strategic significance in Shanxi.

It's a pity that for the Japanese army currently stationed in Shuozhou, they have become a lone army.The recent winter offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi made the Japanese army in Shuozhou completely deprived of foreign aid.

If it wasn't for occasional sightings of planes flying overhead when the weather was fine, I'm afraid many Japanese soldiers would feel that they were forgotten by the world.But today, they already know that they need to break through to the death.

For many Japanese soldiers stationed in Shanxi, they also couldn't figure out how the situation in Shanxi had deteriorated to such a state in less than half a year.Remember how high-spirited they were when they marched into Shanxi?

But now, they have become a lone army who may starve to death in the city if they don't break through.Such a change really puzzled many Japanese soldiers, and made many puppet soldiers think, why are they so unlucky?

After the infantry brigade that left the city earlier walked for about an hour, the Japanese infantry regiment in Shuozhou City finally all left Shuozhou City.For them, the next night is the most critical one.

If they make it through, maybe they still have a glimmer of life, but if they can't, they will all die here.Fighting against the Eighth Route Army several times, these Japanese troops knew very well that unless they voluntarily surrendered, they would surely die.

But the question is, how many Japanese troops who have been brainwashed by militarism will voluntarily surrender?

It was learned that the Japanese army unit had left Shuozhou City and marched towards the blocking position where the first regiment was located.Zhang Cheng, who looked at the sky, quickly said: "Order the cavalry regiment to guard the periphery of the first regiment's defense area, and the guerrillas enter the combat position."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Chief of Staff of the First Division was a little puzzled and said, "Master, is it necessary to let the guerrillas join in today's battle?"

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng said: "We don't need them to join the battle, but we need them to encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy. The little devil chose to go out of the city at this time, and he knew that the chance of breaking through the encirclement was not great, so he planned to take advantage of the troubled waters at night and sneak away!"

For them, being able to escape at this moment is one.But for us, even slipping away from a squad of little devils.If they really let them rush into the village where the villagers live, what kind of consequences do you think will happen?

The cavalry regiment's perimeter security was used to wipe out these remnants of the enemy.When guerrillas enter the combat positions of the villages, they are also used to block them.In a word, the little devils who escaped and broke through cannot be allowed to enter the village.We can't take this risk! "

After listening to Zhang Cheng's explanation, the chief of staff also realized that it was only an hour or two before it got dark.Although the Eighth Route Army is good at fighting at night, for the little devils who are out of the city at this moment, they also want to break out at night.

After all, in the dark situation, as long as the little devils don't use torches, it is still not easy for the Eighth Route Army to hunt them out.This also shows that the little devils who drove out of Shuozhou City are ready to disperse and break through.

Not long after the Japanese army left the city, the infantry brigade and the puppet army that had driven out of Shuozhou City had formally exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army.Hearing the gunshots in the distance, the little devil who was out of the city seemed to know that those people would not end well.

At this moment, the second and fourth regiments of the first division also began to encircle the area under their responsibility according to Zhang Cheng's order.What they have to do is not only to recover Shuozhou City, but also to cooperate with a group of Japanese troops who encircled and suppressed the city.

Even according to Zhang Cheng's order, the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment each deployed a main battalion to enter the villages around Shuozhou City as a unit, and cooperate with the guerrillas to launch defensive operations to prevent little devils from sneaking into the villages where ordinary people live.

After receiving the telegram from the first division, He Zhengdao was also a little surprised that the Japanese army in Shuozhou would choose to go out of the city to break through.But in He Zhengdao's view, if they broke through earlier, they might still have a chance of success.Now, it's too late!

'Forward this telegram to Division 120 and Division 129!If there is no accident, the Japanese army in Xinzhou City should send troops to respond by then.I hope that we can block the troops on the front line and be prepared to block them.

As for the Japanese troops coming out of Shuozhou City, we will not let them escape.These little devils, our independent column will definitely eat it.After recovering Shuozhou City, we can concentrate on the war between Datong and Suiyuan. '

Boss He of the 120th Division, who was deploying defenses, received the telegram forwarded by He Zhengdao, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devils in Shuozhou also know that they can't wait for reinforcements. It is indeed too late to break through at this time." ah!"

'yes!But according to the information we know, the little devils in Fanshuozhou are running out of food storage.They also used telegrams to request the little devils planes to carry out airdrops. As a result, one plane was shot down, and most of the supplies were picked up by the sole division. '

Hearing this, Boss He also nodded and said: "It's really bad luck for the little devil to meet Xiao He's independent column. Originally, we wanted to spend the New Year in peace, but who let the little devil have nothing to do to carry out a big bombing of our base area?" !

Although Xiao He is young, he is also a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes.The little devil blew up his Yulin City, so it's no wonder he didn't seek revenge from the little devil!Well now, Shuozhou and Datong will be occupied by him. "

As the Eighth Route Army, Boss He, who was relatively close to He Zhengdao, also admired He Zhengdao very much.In Boss He's opinion, although He Zhengdao is young, he is also a rare warrior in the Eighth Route Army.

The most rare thing is that in addition to He Zhengdao's ability in military command, the arsenal also has the current situation, which also has a lot to do with He Zhengdao.This kind of general with both civil and military skills is indeed very rare in the Eighth Route Army.

When the Japanese regiment drove out of Shuozhou City, it finally arrived at a blocking position stationed by a regiment.Looking at the blocking position in front, the Japanese army captain did not hesitate too much, and began to order the troops to prepare for the attack.

The infantry artillery pulled out of the city was quickly set up.It's just that the Type [-] infantry artillery equipped by the Japanese Army Wing is not enough for a regiment with an artillery regiment directly under the division.

When forming the artillery regiments directly under each division, He Zhengdao still distributed the captured 75 mountain artillery or field artillery.Therefore, in terms of artillery caliber and range, the main division of the independent column can completely defeat the infantry regiment of the little devil.

Watching the little devil start to set up the attached [-] infantry artillery, the regiment commander on the ground said to the chief of staff next to him: "Hang up the artillery regiment and let them take it easy, don't scare the little devil away!"
