Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After receiving the news of the successful breakout from the troops, Itagaki said hesitantly: "Why did the blocking position over there break through so quickly? Did our attacking troops find the corpses of the Eight Route Army on the blocking position?"

Facing Itagaki's inquiry, the chief of staff of the division who came to report the victory was also stunned and said: "General, I didn't ask about this situation in detail. The general is worried, is this a trap set by the Eight Route Army? It should not be possible!"

'Ask our offensive troops first, and we will act after we understand the situation.You and I both know that that direction is the direction leading to Hebei.I'm worried that those eight roads are deliberately letting go of this gap to let us break through. '

In fact, the route that Itagaki wants to break out of is still in the direction of Shouyang.It is a pity that the Japanese army that has attacked that side has not made any progress until now, but the other side has made a breakthrough.

After sending a telegram to verify the situation, the chief of staff also said worriedly: "General, as you expected, when the infantry brigade attacked the Eighth Route blocking position, they could only see the Eighth Route retreating quickly.

As for the position, no corpses, weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Eighth Route Army were found.That blocking position seemed to be abandoned by Eighth Route on purpose.But even the attacking troops still paid a high price. "

'idiot!It seems that Eighth Road is deliberately letting go of the road, let us choose to take this most difficult route.Order the front troops to start shifting the direction of attack, to support the third position, and attack from the flanks! '

Position No. [-] is the main position from Jinzhong to Shouyang.From Itagaki's point of view, he could not follow the routine of the Eighth Route Army.The best way to fight is to take it by surprise and not follow the attack route predicted by the Eighth Route Army!

Just when Itagaki felt that he had made the right bet again, He Zhengdao, who was also in command of the frontline battle, saw Ye Jian who was a little stunned when he received the telegram, and replied: "Commander, the little devil really went to the Fourth Regiment!" dudu1

'It seems that old devil Itagaki is very suspicious!But no matter how suspicious he is, he still wants to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water.Order the fourth regiment, send all the reserve troops up, kill a wave of little devils, and wait for the opportunity to retreat to the second position.

If you want to take the road of Shouyang, I will also tell you to vomit blood.In this direction, I have set up five blocking positions, which will consume all the troops in Itagaki's hands.Our blocking forces are waiting for work, but they need to attack without interruption.

I believe that after a few more visits, Itagaki realized that his troops were constantly being consumed by us, so he could only choose to retreat in the direction of Xiyang.As long as the little devils turn in the direction of Xiyang, they want to successfully break out of the encirclement, let's daydream about it! '

Compared with the road from Jinzhong to Shouyang, most of them are easier to walk, and it is also suitable for large troops to retreat and march.On the other hand, the road from Jinzhong to Xiyang, although the Japanese army also built a supply road after taking over.

But this road is also full of murderous intentions every step of the way.Most importantly, as long as the Japanese infantry No. 20 Brigade that fell in Shouyang was eliminated, Itagaki would also know, and continue to walk in the direction of Shouyang, just leading the troops to die.

In this case, even if Itagaki is unwilling to take the route of Xiyang, He Zhengdao will force him to take this route.Because if they don't take this route, their final result can only be a dead end.

After Itagaki once again mobilized heavy troops to besiege the No. [-] position guarded by the Fourth Reconnaissance Regiment, and finally made a breakthrough.Itagaki also said very satisfied: "Yo Xi's guess is decisive, there are not many ways to stop us.

This time, they opened up two battlefields, using all the troops they thought they could use.Now they have surrounded the 20th Division and our No.[-] Brigade, so there are not many blocking troops deployed around us.

Order the follow-up troops to leave the city as quickly as possible.Except for the troops left behind, the rest of the breakout troops rushed to the third position, and advanced from there to Shouyang.At the same time, send a report to the No.20 Infantry Brigade, let them hold on! "

Knowing that the No. [-] position has been breached, even if it seems that the Eighth Route Army deliberately avoided it.But Itagaki felt that taking this route had a greater chance of success.The most important thing is that he can fully carry the supplies and supplies he carries.

However, the troops responsible for playing the vanguard for the main force had just traveled less than ten miles when they encountered a roadside serial bomb that was nearly one kilometer long.The sound of explosions one after another almost wiped out the vanguard.

Before the follow-up troops arrived, the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance unit ambushing on both sides of the road had rushed to the road and used submachine guns to wipe out all the Japanese soldiers who were dazed but survived the bombing at close range. dudu2

When the troops behind ran up to support, all they saw were dead bodies.Faced with such a situation, the Japanese infantry who came to support also felt that the tactics of the Eighth Route Army were indeed a bit too ruthless.

Most importantly, looking at the big hole that was blown out by the side of the road and in the middle of the road, some little devil also gritted his teeth and said: "Suoga! How many explosives did they bury here! There is such a big hole on the road, if it is not repaired , our vehicles can't pass!"

Just as these soldiers said, seeing these bombed and killed forward troops, a regiment leader who came from the rear also felt very headache.After all, the nearly one-kilometer road was really bombed!

If it is a smaller hole, it will not take much time to fill it in.But right now, there are still many large pits with a width of nearly one meter on this kilometer of road.If this big hole is not filled properly, vehicles will not be able to pass at all.

If you want to fill the hole, it will naturally take a waste of time.Under such circumstances, while the wing leader fed back the news to the follow-up main force, he also pulled out a group of troops to step forward through these potholes to investigate the situation.

The remaining troops, of course, urgently found digging tools and began to fill in the large holes that had been blown out.And Itagaki, who followed up behind, also seemed a little distraught but helpless when he received such news!

In the end, he could only curse: "Baga! These Eighth Route Army will use such rogue tricks!"

But even though this move is very damaging and rogue, it can delay his time to march into Shouyang.Most importantly, the planted roadside bombs can also harvest the vanguard troops he sent out, which is also consuming the few troops in his hands.

While the Japanese army was repairing the road, the vanguard troops who went out to check the situation soon discovered the Eighth Route Army positions built on both sides of the road.After some firepower testing, the Japanese vanguard retreated decisively!

"The regiment leader, three kilometers ahead, found a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.After our vanguard troops tried to attack, they found that the Eighth Route Army's firepower on the ground was so strong that they couldn't break through at all, so we asked the regiment to send troops to support it! '

'Nah!There is another blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front? '

'Yes, Lieutenant! 'dudu3

Facing the messengers sent back by the vanguard, Itagaki who followed behind also felt a little distressed.Even judging from the current situation, the Eighth Route Army did not send too many troops to pursue them, but it kept biting them behind.

What troubled Itagaki the most was that the Eighth Route Army that was chasing him turned out to be all cavalry.This means that if you only travel on two legs, you may be overtaken by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army at any time.

There are fewer troops in the rear, and it doesn't work at all.If there are too many dispatches, Itagaki is also worried about the safety of the supply troops.After all, he seemed to bring a lot of troops out this time, but in fact, he didn't deal with them much.

These Eighth Route Army cavalrymen who pursued were undoubtedly the [-]st Cavalry Division that He Zhengdao brought to Shanxi but never used.These cavalry units are used as blocking troops, which is somewhat inappropriate.

But as a chasing force, it can often deal a fatal blow to the little devil.The little devil didn't dare to move forward with confidence at all, so he had to divide his troops to stop him.The infantry of the Eighth Route Army in pursuit can cooperate with the cavalry to launch the pursuit.

Once the cavalry found the little devil's blocking force, the following Eighth Route Army infantry would launch a corresponding attack.Once a breakthrough is made, the cavalry unit will give those little devils who blocked it a fatal blow.

Faced with this situation where there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, Itagaki also seems very entangled.And the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army wandering around the road also made Itagaki realize that the Eighth Route Army must have made elaborate deployments to attack Shanxi this time!

One chain after another, such a way of using troops, even if Itagaki didn't want to admit it, he acted helplessly and said: "This He Zhengdao's use of troops is really hard to figure out. Most importantly, why does he have so many troops in his hands? Woolen cloth?"

"General, according to the information we have received before, in addition to the troops currently fighting in Henan, the troops commanded by He Zhengdao should confront our troops in the direction of Suiyuan.

Do you want to send a telegram to the North China Front Army, let our troops near Zhangjiakou pretend to move, and test the reality of the Eighth Route Army.Could the enemy situation near Zhangjiakou be a suspicious strategy of the Eighth Route Army? '

Faced with the chief of staff's suggestion, Itagaki shook his head and said, "This should be impossible! The only possibility is that we underestimated the size of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army. The speed of the expansion of the Eighth Route Army is really appalling!"

From Itagaki's point of view, if He Zhengdao dared to deploy so many troops to Shanxi, Suiyuan might be ready.Once Zhangjiakou's troops go out of the city to feign an attack, it is very likely that Shijiazhuang will be lost.At that time, Peking will be in danger! (To be continued.)

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

Not long after leaving the city, I learned that there was a blocking position set up by the Eighth Route Army ahead.Such news is undoubtedly bad news that cannot be worse for the Japanese army who hope to break through as soon as possible.

But even so, they don't have much choice.Just as Itagaki said to his subordinates, since they have come out of Jinzhong City, they can only fight all the way until they get rid of the Eighth Route Army's siege and interception safely.

The troops were arranged to fill in the big holes that were blown out as soon as possible, and Itagaki also dispatched troops from the rear, preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army positions blocked on both sides of the road again.Without that, they simply won't get very far.

Once the troops sent by He Zhengdao to other places return, the only way to wait for the end of their breakout Japanese army is to wipe out the whole army.If they want to change this fate, they can only fight all the way!

Similarly, for He Zhengdao, what he has to do is to constantly block and chase the Japanese troops leaving the city from the front and rear.After solving the Japanese army along the way, he can concentrate his efforts to eliminate these Japanese troops who are about to escape from Shanxi.

As for the Japanese troops in Henan and Hebei, He Zhengdao believed that the other Eighth Route Army, which cooperated in the battle, would be able to contain those little devils.What he has to do now is also to end the Shanxi war as soon as possible and reduce the burden of this war on the headquarters.

The troops commanded by Itagaki have already broken out from Jinzhong City.The Eighth Route Army troops deployed in other directions also quickly retreated accordingly.Based on He Zhengdao's order, he marched in the direction of Shouyang as well.

There is only one thing for these withdrawn troops to do, and that is to replenish the forces in the blocking position.At least let Itagaki know that he wants to rush to Shouyang to join the No. 20 Infantry Brigade, which is a wishful thinking.

Itagaki, who finished fighting the second blocking position, received a telegram from the frontline troops and saw thousands of casualties.Itagaki also realized that the Eighth Route Army was constantly consuming the power in his hands through this method of combat.

Also aware of this situation is the division chief of staff who broke out with Itagaki.But understanding is one thing. Faced with the current situation, the Japanese army does not seem to have much choice.If you don't break through, there is only a dead end.

If they break through, they may continue to consume their troops, but as long as they plan properly, they may still have a glimmer of life.In order to survive, they must continue to move forward at any cost.

'Go on the offensive!At this point, we can only compete with the Eighth Route Army to see who can last till the end! '

Itagaki, who was ruthless, also realized that the road to break out this time might not make it too easy for them.At this point, he can only instruct the troops to continue to attack the Eighth Route Army with a desperate heart to consume the blocking power of the Eighth Route Army.
