Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Even the Japanese army in this era has always believed that they are the strongest army in the world.But this time, they really know that there is such a team in China, which will truly become their biggest opponent and mortal enemy in the future!To be continued.

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

In order to seize time, the Japanese army in Shanxi, who planned to break out of the siege, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in charge of the battle were actually very tired and tenacious.In fact, He Zhengdao also hopes to end the battle early so that his troops can start to rest.

Now that the north has entered winter, although it has not snowed yet, the weather has become very cold.Long-term field battles are not an easy and happy thing for the troops of both sides.

After receiving the [-]th Division that broke out from Xiangyuan, they did not choose to march overnight, but chose to rest overnight very wisely.Li Xiangdong, who was waiting for work far away in the direction of Xijing, also understood that this should be the last rest of the little devil.

Next, if they could not break through the blocking line set up by the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time, then these Japanese troops who broke out might never want to return to the area they occupied, let alone join the reinforcements.

The head of the Changzhi Independent Brigade, who also received the news, also breathed a sigh of relief.If the little devils continue to march to break through tonight, then they can't rest for too long, they can only grit their teeth and order the troops to continue to follow.

If they chase too late, there may be some accidents.After all, the thousands of little devils who are cornered, God knows what kind of trouble they will cause in the nearby base!

Only by killing them and keeping an eye on them can we avoid some unexpected situations.Now that the little devil chooses to rest on the spot, the independent brigade will naturally get more rest time. After a good night's rest, he can have the mental and physical strength to pursue tomorrow.

When the [-]th Division compressed its establishment and prepared for the next breakthrough.The Independent Brigade was also downsized after the Japanese army broke through.Some main battalions with excessive casualties were also compressed correspondingly.

Of course, after the battle in the future, these compressed main battalions will also be restored.It is just to better respond to the operational requirements and appropriately compress the establishment, which is also more conducive to the formation of troops.

On the night when the [-]th Division was resting, the Itagaki troops, who had been resting in Jinzhong City for two days, finally launched a sharp counterattack to break through. <>The artillery unit drawn from Taiyuan City also began to bombard the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

He Zhengdao naturally couldn't rest when he heard the rumbling shelling from the city late at night, and asked about the battle situation ahead from time to time.The chief of staff, Ye Jianying, naturally needs to keep an eye on the situation in the front position and summarize the situation.

'Just received a call from the forward position, the little devils carried out a covering bombardment on their front line blocking position.Fortunately, the fortifications we built were good, and the little devils conducted a test firing before the bombardment, so there were not many casualties. '

'good!Tell us the troops in the forward position, the little devil wants to break through.When the little devil goes out of the city to break through, bring the little devil close to me and beat him.Concentrate superior firepower and deal a fatal blow to the little devil who broke through.

Now the old devil Itagaki still has more than 1 elite troops.All we have to do is to keep bleeding him.Just the five encirclement circles we set up outside the city, I will make him take off a layer of skin! 'dudu1

Compared with the [-]th Division breaking through from Xiangyuan, because it was too close to the Hebei border, He Zhengdao had to order the blocking troops to resolutely block.If more Japanese troops were not wiped out near Xiangyuan, these little devils might succeed in breaking through.

Fortunately, the Changzhi Independent Brigade did not live up to his trust. Although it paid a high price during the blocking process, it also reduced the [-]th Division by more than half.This also provided the basis for victory in the following encirclement and annihilation battles.

At this moment, the Japanese army breaking out from Jinzhong City had more troops than the [-]th Division and had more heavy weapons in their hands, so there was no shortage of weapons, ammunition and supplies for the time being.But this army still has a long way to go from Hebei!

This means that He Zhengdao has many opportunities to slowly bleed the old devil Itagaki.Drag it from fat to thin, and then drag it down from thin.Wait until these little devils are exhausted before delivering the fatal blow.

In order to break out of the siege as soon as possible, Itagaki also appeared very generous when arranging the breakout operation.The shells in reserve opened up the artillery.Perhaps Itagaki also knows that it is difficult to break through with these heavy artillery!

At the moment, making more use of the power of heavy artillery may also consume some of the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army, and share some of the offensive pressure for the breakout troops. <>This idea is naturally good, and it has also caused a lot of trouble and trouble for the blocking troops.

It's just that besides the First Division of the Second Division, the Second Reconnaissance Regiment who had confronted them was the one who stopped them this time.The blocking troops, who had already been prepared against the Japanese heavy artillery, also worked hard when building anti-artillery fortifications.

After half an hour of shelling, the reconnaissance troops who were monitoring the movements of the Japanese army outside Jinzhong City knew that the little devil had officially launched a breakout when he saw the Japanese infantry coming out of Jinzhong City.

When the news reached the headquarters, it naturally also reached the blocking troops who were avoiding the artillery in the anti-bunker hole.Many squad leaders also quickly said: "Comrades, get ready to fight, the little devils are coming up!"

Many soldiers who listened to the fierce artillery fire outside the cave also began to hold their weapons tightly, waiting for the signal to go to the battlefield.After all, they all knew that it would take some time for the little devil to rush from the city to their position.

Accompanied by the observation post on the frontal blocking position, seeing a large number of little devil infantry that had already appeared, the signal of "little devil appeared" was soon issued.At the same time, the artillery fire of the Japanese army in the city also began to shift.

According to Itagaki's combat plan, the breakout tactics they adopted this time were not to concentrate their firepower on one side of the Eighth Route Army's position, but to break out from three sides and fight independently, and finally chose to converge after breaking through.

The frontal blocking position, which had been bombarded by them for more than half an hour, was naturally in a mess at the moment.The Japanese infantry, who were in a stance below the position, began to charge after watching the artillery fire shift. dudu2

'Kill a few to give! '

Many Japanese infantry officers in charge of commanding the attack also seemed to know that tonight's breakout battle was crucial.At this time, they must show [-]% courage to successfully break through.

Some squadron leaders and battalion leaders who usually stay behind in combat are now personally on the front line to direct the attack. <> There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to stimulate the fighting spirit and courage of the soldiers in the attacking army.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed!This is what Itagaki warned his senior commanders!

If you can't even break out of Jinzhong City, how can you break out to the border of Hebei?

The little devil's artillery fire began to shift and extend to bomb the blocking position on the other side.And the little devil's infantry also started to attack.As for the Eighth Route Army on the ground, of course they will not continue to be foolish.

On the contrary, as the sharp whistle sounded, many soldiers hiding in the anti-gun tunnel also rushed to the position with weapons at the fastest speed.And in the shortest time, use the equipped engineer shovel to reinforce and repair the fortifications.

Some heavy machine guns that were carried into the anti-aircraft pits were also quickly erected.The ammunition hand responsible for supplying ammunition also prepared rows of bullet chains that could be stuffed into the barrel at any time.Waiting for these heavy machine guns, they will also exert great power.

Many fighters who are good at throwing grenades even unscrew the caps of the grenades.Once the little devil rushed to the position, these grenades would also let the little devil know how serious the consequences of attacking the position would be.

The company platoon leader wandering in the trench kept checking the situation of the position, and kept saying: "I'm going to aim and shoot! Although our ammunition can be opened up today, don't waste our ammunition.

Light and heavy machine guns, listen to my orders and shoot at any time later, concentrate your firepower, and shoot me out of these damned little devils.Snipers, Officers, Heavys, and Grenadiers with a focus on Imps.

For the rest of the riflemen, you also have to show your usual training level and strive to kill an enemy with one shot.When shooting, you also have to show your fastest speed and level, can you hear me clearly? "

'Clear company commander (platoon leader)! 'dudu3

When the Eighth Route Army was ready to fire at any time, the Japanese army, which began to charge towards the position in a skirmish line, rushed to the blocking position like a tidal wave.The observers kept reporting the distance between the little devil and the trench.

When the position commander in charge heard the observer's report, he immediately said: "Comrades, hit me!"

After a "hit", these officers using the new rifles fired their shots to announce the start of the fight, and at the same time killed a little devil they were aiming at.This is also the reason why He Zhengdao has always emphasized not to waste bullets at will.

Accompanied by this gunshot, fierce gunfire from various blocking positions rang out immediately.The fiery flames soon danced up and down in various blocking positions, and most of the people who were touched by it were either killed or injured.

It's just that compared with the sacrificed personnel of the Eighth Route Army on the position, the Japanese infantry in charge of the attack also fell in batches like harvested wheat.Such ferocious firepower also surprised the attacking Japanese army.

Quite a few Japanese troops following behind the team could not help gnashing their teeth and cursing, seeing the chains of fire fired by the light and heavy machine guns, "Bage Yalu! Why do they have so many machine guns! Grenadiers, blow up the soldiers on the battlefield Machine gun fire!"

The grenadiers who cooperated with the infantry's attack also began to set up the grenadiers they were in charge of one after another.It's just that many grenadiers were killed with a crisp shot just after setting up the grenadiers they operated!

In addition to these grenadiers, many Japanese machine gunners who shared the firepower for the front troops were also constantly being replaced.When one machine gunner fell, another little devil machine gunner immediately made up for it, which seemed a bit desperate.

At this time, the Japanese infantry artillery who stayed behind to cooperate with the attack also began to launch shelling, supporting the infantry to attack and seize the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.For a while, the pressure on the Eighth Route Army on the blocking position doubled.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance regiment responsible for the blocking was itself the unit with the most light and heavy weapons in the original independent column.When the Imp infantry artillery was raging and firing, the light and heavy mortars of the reconnaissance regiment also launched a counterattack.

Watching the guns and guns in the blocking position outside the city, the scene of you coming and going, is enough to show how fierce the battle is.Itagaki, who was staying behind, also felt infinitely frustrated and lost when he saw this scene.

After all, how high-spirited they were when they launched a full-scale war of aggression against China last year.But now, why have they become so embarrassed?Regarding this change, Itagaki really couldn't figure it out! (To be continued.)

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

Regarding the choice to break out at night, Itagaki also felt that the chances of success in night battles were higher.The weather during this period has also not improved, and daytime operations may not be able to request the Air Force to provide air cover.

It was with these reasons in mind that Itagaki finally made the decision to break through overnight.In his opinion, if they stayed in Jinzhong City for one more night, their risk of breaking out in the future might increase exponentially.

Judging from the current situation of the Eighth Route Army's encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army in Shanxi, it is not difficult for Itagaki to see that He Zhengdao wanted to defeat them one by one, and made him the final target.Aware of this situation, Itagaki could only choose to break through as soon as possible.

As Itagaki expected, the Eighth Route Army troops blocking them outside the city were indeed not too many.After a fierce attack by several infantry brigades regardless of casualties, they successfully broke through a blocking position leading to Hebei.
