Outside Dongyang Pass, a fast horse galloped over. The person who came was wearing a short coat and looked like a landlord guarding the courtyard.
On top of the Dongyangguan City Wing, two soldiers from the Shexian County Basic Regiment wearing puppet army uniforms were staring at the intruder.
"What number is this?"
After hearing this, the soldier next to him glanced at the cigarette butts on the ground, counted them, and then said: "It's the sixth one!"
In the blink of an eye, the man on horseback came to the pass: "Brother, brother, I am sent by the Taijun Jiangtian of Licheng. I have something important to report to the Taijun of Dongyang Pass. Please open the door!"
"Are you sure you came from Licheng?"
"Confirm, the military situation is urgent, please ask me to report to Taijun in person!"
"Okay, I'll open the door for you!"
With a creak, the gate of the city chamber opened, and a look of chilling flowed out from the gate, like a bloody mouth waiting for the visitor to enter the gate. The horse who sat down seemed to be aware of it, and could not help but take two steps back.
,
"Drive, drive!" The traitor from the Licheng Detective Team who came to report did not notice anything was wrong. Instead, he grabbed the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and hurried into the city.
The telephone line between Licheng and Dongyangguan was cut off by Division 1 at the beginning of the battle. Not long ago, the Japanese army in Licheng sent a group of little Japs to Dongyangguan carrying code books, but no one came back.
Upon seeing this, the Japanese commander Etianzuka of Licheng sent another group of puppet troops to Dongyang Pass. This time the little devil was smarter. Some of these puppet troops were dressed as beggars, some were dressed as salesmen walking around the streets, and some were dressed as street vendors.
The nursing home of the landowner.
The story is divided into two parts, the northern suburbs of Changzhi.
A Japanese army of more than 200 people was running towards Changzhi at Sayazi, followed by an Eighth Route Army unit with the Qianlai number in pursuit.
Approaching the Japanese artillery position in the north of the city, the pursuit became increasingly fierce.
"Quickly, quickie, quickie!" a little Jaap shouted, followed by the sound of a gunshot, and then fell to the ground, clutching his chest.
"Comrades, let's chase, we must not let the little devil escape from our hands!"
While they were talking, the two groups of men had already passed the hillside where Xu Dali and Yang Han had been investigating. This movement was noticed by both the Japanese on the wall and the artillery outside the city.
"If there is any situation, be alert immediately!" a Japanese officer on the city wall shouted, and then a flag soldier waved a flag outside the city.
At the same time, the reconnaissance company hidden in the north of the city also emerged. Dong Jiang happened to see the little Japanese flag soldiers standing on the high platform waving flags.
"Okay, our people are finally here!" Dong Jiang said with a smile. In the previous call with the headquarters, Zhou Weihan gave clear instructions. Once there is movement in the south of the city, the reconnaissance company will always pay attention to the two directions of the north and west of the city.
movements and cooperate with the actions of the main force.
"Work separately and solve it as soon as possible!"
A group of more than a hundred Japanese troops appeared on the streets of Beicheng, and then divided into two groups, one group went west to support the Special Agent Regiment and the 18th Regiment, and the other group went north to support the group.
When the Changzhi city wall collapsed, several holes appeared. The largest hole was near the city gate. At this time, the ruins at the city gate had been cleared out, and the Japanese army had rearranged fortifications at the city gate. But on top of the city wall, the little Japanese were not afraid.
A guard post was set up.
A soldier from the reconnaissance company who was proficient in Japanese took the lead and shouted to the little Japanese near the city gate: "We are from the Changdao Brigade and have been ordered to come for support. What is the situation outside?"
"Youxi, your support was really timely. Has the 27th Army been defeated?" asked the little Japanese officer guarding the city.
"Yes, the other three brigades are attacking the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city. Our Changdao Brigade enters the city from the east gate to strengthen the defense force in the city!" said the soldier of the reconnaissance company.
The little Japanese officer had no doubt that he was there. He only had more than forty people under his command, and he really needed support. As he spoke, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company had already dispersed. The men of the reconnaissance company were deployed at the city gate and several gaps.
Several snipers from the reconnaissance company climbed up the city wall along the brick stubble at the gap. Thief Jiuyi raised his head. Standing on the wall were the little Japanese's flag soldiers, holding guns and pointing out the city on guard.
"Hey, this warrior, can you reach out and give me a hand?"
When the kid on the city wall heard this, he put his rifle on the wall, immediately bowed to apologize, and then stretched out his hand to pull Thief Nine up.
Facing the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army, the Japs were on high alert. Although the number of troops at the city gate was small, it was only a warning force.
Outside the north city, there is a separate infantry squadron serving as a escort, three heavy machine guns have been reinforced, and a ring of fortifications has been deployed outside.
In addition, the more than 600 Japanese soldiers in an artillery brigade are still not vegetarians. Three of the Japanese ammunition squads are equipped with 38-guns. This is another infantry squadron, but they do not have the corresponding light machine guns and grenades.
Just a tube.
The situation outside the West City is generally similar to that in the North City.
"The enemy is less than 800 meters away, be alert!" The little Japanese flag soldiers on the city wall were always paying attention to the movements of the Eighth Route Army.
As the Eighth Route Army pressed closer and closer, the little Japs on the circular fortifications did not take action hastily. After all, the Japanese troops who were at the forefront were being pursued.
At this time, both the enemy and our troops had their hearts in their throats. In the blink of an eye, more than 200 Japanese soldiers who were being pursued jumped into the ring fortifications.
The little Japs in the fortification were about to fight back, but unexpectedly, the people around them attacked him first.
The incident occurred suddenly, and the shooters, auxiliary shooters and ammunition feeders near the three heavy machine guns were killed immediately, and the ring fortification was in chaos for a while.
At the same time, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who had reached the city gate early in the morning took out their bayonets and wiped the neck of the little Japanese at the city gate.
On the city wall, the little devil's bannermen looked at what was happening in front of them in astonishment. Thief Jiu didn't give him a chance to react and twisted his neck with his hands.
The few soldiers who climbed up the city wall from the reconnaissance company were all soldiers from the sniper team. After taking care of the little Japs around them, they took the 38 big cover and called out the names of the little Japs below who were trying to resist.
"Kill!" At this time, more than a thousand of the most elite soldiers selected from the two regiments approached the ring fortifications.
They immediately divided into two teams, one team strangled the little Japanese inside the fortifications, and the other team rushed towards the artillery position sandwiched between the fortifications and the city wall.
At this time, there were only less than 400 young Japanese soldiers on the Japanese artillery positions. Only some officers and non-commissioned officers were holding Southern Type 14 pistols, and the rest were only holding engineer shovels.
The soldiers at the front were all armed with light machine guns, submachine guns or short rifles. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Eighth Route Army soldiers, the Japs were immediately at a disadvantage.
Some young Japanese with quick reactions wanted to take out grenades and blow up the heavy artillery around them, but they were named by the soldiers of the reconnaissance company behind them who occupied the commanding heights.
It stands to reason that these little devils in the artillery position have a chance to destroy these heavy artillery, but the 150-caliber howitzer is a campaign-level supporting firepower within the Japanese army. The Japanese army has a total of five heavy artillery brigades.
For these little Japanese artillerymen, blowing up these heavy artillery is more uncomfortable than killing them. In addition, since the establishment of the heavy artillery brigade, the little Japanese artillerymen have never encountered the experience of being attacked by the enemy.
Gave the Eighth Route Army a chance.
With the addition of more than a thousand main forces, the situation on the battlefield instantly became clear. The Japanese army was gradually wiped out, and more than a hundred Japanese artillerymen holding engineer shovels were forced step by step under the city wall.
"Put down your weapons and leave you a way to survive!"
"Put down your weapons and leave you a way to survive!" the soldiers shouted at the little devil.
The surviving little Japs glanced at each other and tried to continue to resist. The soldiers stabbed them with bayonets, and more than twenty of the Japs fell down.
When Dong Jiang saw that the little Japanese refused to surrender, he patted Lin Zhengxiong on the shoulder. Lin Zhengxiong immediately understood and stood on an ammunition box.
"Warriors, I'm afraid you don't know yet. General Imada was shattered on the spot by the explosion that came from the city. The Imperial Army troops who were chasing after them out of the city were also completely wiped out by the national army. The Imperial Army has no hope. Now we are all
We are surrounded, quickly put down your weapons and surrender!" Lin Zhengxiong shouted at the surrounded little Japs.
"The Eighth Route Army promised that as long as we lay down our weapons, we will forget about past events. The responsibility for the war does not lie with ordinary soldiers. As long as the war is over, we will be released to return home to reunite with our families!"
As soon as Lin Zhengxiong made such targeted remarks, the little Japs suddenly relaxed. Several of the Japs clearly wanted to put down their weapons, but after looking at the soldiers around them, they hesitated.
"Baga, you coward of the Japanese Empire, warriors, fight with them!" Some brainwashed little devils were still screaming when they were about to die.
More than thirty little Japs gathered from the crowd, with a look of fanaticism on their faces as they approached the soldiers step by step with engineering shovels.
Xu Dali didn't know when he arrived at the city gate. Seeing the little Jaap taking advantage of the situation, he couldn't help but get furious: "Damn it, I don't have time to prepare machine gunners with you bunch of idiots!"
The four machine gunners who had been waiting at the side pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, and the stimulated little Japs immediately rushed over.
"Hit!" Xu Dali usually leads others in a gentle manner, but the little devil was rude.
"Click, click, click", dense bullets were sprayed out, and the arrogant little devil suddenly fell into a pool of blood.
The tragic situation is right in front of us. The remaining little devils are already weak-willed. This will scare them so much that they can no longer hold the engineer shovel in their hands.
"I'll ask you again, will you surrender?" Xu Dali roared again, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal the machine gunner to get ready.
Although these little devils couldn't speak Chinese well, they had been in China for a long time after all, and they roughly understood what Xu Dali meant. He took another look at the machine guns aimed at them.
They still didn't understand what it meant, but they had seen infantrymen do this kind of thing many times.
"The commander of the Eighth Route Army said, surrender and survive. If you don't surrender, you will die immediately!" Lin Zhengxiong's words also changed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little devils immediately put down their weapons. Xu Dali nodded with satisfaction and then said: "The guard company and the heavy machine gun company are staying."
"Political Commissar, you'd better stay here in person. There can't be any problems with these heavy artillery and the surrendered Japs. Don't let the Japs get close to the heavy artillery. Keep them alone!" Xu Dali said to the Political Commissar of the Second Regiment.
"yes!"
After Xu Dali arranged things outside the city, he turned around and looked around. Yang Han, who came with him, disappeared without knowing when. Even the soldiers of the 280th Regiment were missing.
"Damn, you ran so fast!" Xu Dali couldn't help but cursed: "The rest will enter the city immediately!"
The regiments had suffered heavy casualties before, and the two regiments participating in the battle together only had more than 3,000 men.
The Eighth Route Army broke through the city too suddenly, and the main Japanese troops in the city were concentrated in the south city to resist the offensive of the First Regiment.
Without giving the Japanese army more time to mobilize their troops, Yang Han's 281st Regiment, led by several soldiers from the reconnaissance company, first attacked the Japanese army's newly restored headquarters in the city, and then quickly advanced along the other way to attack the back of the Japanese army in Nancheng.
When Xu Dali arrived with his troops, the barrels of the six 82 mortars of the 280th Regiment Artillery Company were still smoking, and the location of the Japanese headquarters looked like it had been shelled just now.
"Hehe! Old Xu, you're a step too late!" Yang Han said with some pride.
Xu Dali's face turned dark after hearing this. Li Ronghu, the third battalion commander of the 280th Regiment, ran out from the Japanese command post: "Regiment seat, we caught a big fish, and there is a little Japs Da Zuo inside. This is Zuo Guan Dao!"
"Members of the 281st Regiment, don't be stunned. If others eat meat, we also have to drink some soup, right? Come here and make sure you don't let a little kid go!" Xu Dali shouted to the soldiers surrounding him.
The former enemy headquarters is still located ten miles southeast of Changzhi City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the headquarters, Xing Zhiguo was paying attention to the telegram from the reconnaissance company: "The Ninety-fourth Division annihilated the enemy outside the city at 4:16, and captured 63 Japanese artillerymen.
Twelve 150mm caliber howitzers and more than 130 rounds of artillery shells!"
"The 18th Regiment of the Special Agent Group annihilated the enemy outside the city at 4:21, captured 12 Japanese artillerymen, and seized 12 105mm cannons and more than 150 shells!"
"The main force will subsequently be put into the city, and Changzhi will be captured now!"
What Xing Zhiguo said later, Zhou Weihan didn't listen at all. He thought he had been in the battlefield for a long time and had a calm mind. However, at this time, he happily slapped the table several times.
"Damn it, I've made a fortune, I've really made a fortune this time!" Zhou Weihan grinned so hard that he couldn't even close his smile.
Xing Zhiguo on the side also smiled: "Old Zhou, the top priority is to get rid of these cannons first!"
What Xing Zhiguo said immediately surprised Zhou Weihan from his excitement. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me!"
Not only are these 24 heavy artillery pieces within the Eighth Route Army, but they are also strategic weapons within the National Army, and no one will look back.
"Let the artillery battalion immediately send manpower to join the reconnaissance company, and at the same time send a report to the reconnaissance company, let, let..." Zhou Weihan stopped when he said this. He was wondering which regiment he wanted to be responsible for the escort mission.
Although all the Eighth Route Army troops participating in the battle in Changzhi are troops of the Eighth Route Army, among the troops of the Tainan Military Region, one regiment cannot be withdrawn when attacking the city from the front. The 280 regiment has many people and a mixed view.
"Let the reconnaissance company inform Xu Dali to withdraw the 281st Regiment from the battle and escort the heavy artillery to Pingshun!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
