Several regiments of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the two regiments of the Japanese invaders.
The two Japanese regiments have been divided and surrounded.
One is in the east and the other is in the west. The two are about thirty miles apart. But they can never meet.
In the middle is the 771st Regiment, the leading force under the 386th Brigade. Under the command of the brigade, they successfully separated the two Japanese aggressor regiments, creating favorable conditions for subsequent annihilation.
After all, the main force is the main force. It has super strong combat effectiveness. Even if the Japanese invaders from two regiments counterattacked wildly, the 771st Regiment has always stood firm.
With the support of a large number of mortars and field artillery, the 771st Regiment could still find the opportunity to counterattack.
However, the Japanese invaders were unwilling to perish. In a very short period of time, a large number of field defenses were excavated, making the attack on Tubal Road very difficult. Every step forward would consume a large amount of ammunition. Otherwise, a large amount of ammunition would be consumed.
life.
After all, the two regiments of the Japanese invaders are also elite. Before the war, the soldiers were fully equipped, with more than 3,500 soldiers. After entering the base area, they lost not many soldiers until they were surrounded. They can be said to be quite powerful.
It is not easy to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
"Having been fighting for half a month, the soldiers are all a little tired..."
"The problem now is that we don't have enough experience in attacking difficulties. Many offensive methods need to be tried repeatedly. It has indeed increased some casualties. Now we are trying to use earthworks to approach..."
"The good news is that we still have enough weapons and ammunition..."
The chief of staff summarized several basic situations.
The battle has not ended yet. It's not that the Eighth Route Army can't chew it up. It's because it doesn't want to pay a high price.
If the casualty ratio between the two sides is 1:1, the casualties are too heavy.
No matter what, the ratio must be 1:2.
The Eighth Route Army suffered one casualty and the Japanese invaders suffered two casualties. Otherwise, it would be seriously uneconomical.
"boom……"
"Chi chi chi..."
Suddenly, a Japanese aircraft fired.
The brigade commander and chief of staff were both skilled in squatting in the trenches to avoid being strafed by Japanese aircraft.
In order to extend the lives of the Matsui and Horikawa regiments, Japanese planes bombed almost every day. The number of planes was either three or five. Not many, but they came every day, which made the Eighth Route Army extremely annoyed.
Organizing anti-aircraft defenses has little effect.
Because there are not enough weapons to threaten air targets. Light machine guns and the like are of little use.
"Call Li Yunlong!"
"content?"
"Ask him for some anti-aircraft weapons."
"Do you want it directly?"
"The situation is urgent. Ask for it directly!"
"good!"
The chief of staff turned around and left.
He also knew that the brigade commander was a little anxious.
Indeed, the brigade headquarters was a little anxious from top to bottom because the war had been delayed for a long time.
The siege has not been completely resolved for half a month. As a result, the main force of the brigade has been dragged here. Once the situation outside changes, there is no way to deal with it. The current 386 Brigade has also used its troops to the limit.
The main force focused on the two Japanese regiments.
Other troops were in Ping'an County, keeping an eye on the Japanese invaders' three independent mixed brigades.
Although the brigade commander has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely resourceful, he is also under great pressure. He must find a way to deal with a bunch of enemies and free up one hand.
"Report!"
"Headquarters is calling!"
A communications staff officer hurried over.
After handing the telegram to the chief of staff, he immediately turned around and left. But he was extremely busy.
The chief of staff looked relieved after reading the telegram.
"happy event?"
"Zhang Chu fought in the Jingxing Coal Mine and caused great losses to the Japanese invaders. He shot down as many as ten Japanese aircraft. The battle situation may change greatly. The headquarters wants us to pay attention to the Japanese invaders around Peiping.
We might send more troops here to join the fight."
"Okay, here comes another group!"
"We have stirred a hornet's nest. The Japanese invaders may increase their troops in large numbers."
"Send someone to find this Zhang Chu immediately. Let him bring all the troops and come back to Cangyun Ridge immediately. Especially the anti-aircraft weapons. We need a lot of them!"
"good!"
The chief of staff turned around and left.
We are preparing for a general attack. We just wait for Zhang Chu to come back.
…
To the west of Jingxing Pass.
The Eighth Route Army marched westward in a mighty manner.
Hyakutake Haruyoshi and the remaining troops were pinned south of the railway, unable to move at all.
"Gentlemen, prepare the pieces of jade!"
Hyakutake Harukichi thought that Tubal Road was going to surround him, so he had to start making decisive preparations.
Saito and Miyano also looked gloomy and began to quietly prepare for themselves.
I was wailing secretly in my heart...
It is simply unbelievable that the war situation has deteriorated to such an extent.
Frankly speaking, until now, they still haven't figured out why Tubalu suddenly became so powerful...
So nervous!
So nervous!
Both of them wiped their sabers quietly. If the situation was unfavorable, they committed suicide.
The Southern Type 14 pistol was unreliable. You couldn’t use it to commit suicide. So you secretly arranged for an intermediary. At that time, if you were unable to commit suicide, the intermediary would cut off your head with a knife...
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Tubal Road has retreated!"
"Nani?"
"Tuba Road retreated to the west. It did not surround us."
"Nani?"
Suddenly a soldier came to report.
Hyakutake Haruyoshi was in disbelief. He quickly raised his telescope.
Sure enough, Tubal Road marched westward with no attempt to surround and eliminate the remaining Japanese invaders.
"Pah hook!"
I don't know which Japanese invader fired the gun.
Maybe I was too happy. Or maybe I was too nervous. I couldn't control it.
"idiot!"
"who is it!"
"who is it!"
Hyakutake Harukichi was furious and immediately ordered the soldier to be arrested.
idiot!
Are you brainless?
At this time, he fired a gun to provoke the Eight Route Army!
Aren't you looking for death?
Tubal Road didn't want to fight and started to retreat. What a good thing. We couldn't ask for it!
Do you still want to fight Tubalu later?
idiot!
idiot!
Come down and put that soldier into confinement!
Then he ordered the troops to prepare their equipment immediately and move towards Jingxingguan Fortress as quickly as possible.
"quick!"
"quick!"
Hyakutake Harukichi kept urging.
It can be said that he breathed a huge sigh of relief now.
The damn Tubal Road was finally evacuated. Otherwise, he didn't know how many people would be injured or killed.
All three brigades have been completely defeated. Even the captains have been killed. It can be said that the entire army has been wiped out. The remaining two brigades also suffered heavy casualties and have very few troops left. The squad captains and squadron captains have long been
The lighting has been changed several times.
These Tubal roads are really difficult to fight.
He was not even afraid of airplanes! He actually shot down ten airplanes!
fortunately……
Rushing all the way.
They quickly entered the Jingxing Coal Mine.
I found that the place was in a mess.
Saito:……
Miyano:……
tragedy!
All coal mines were destroyed.
All the mines and all the equipment were destroyed by the explosion.
It is estimated that it will take at least a year to resume production. A large amount of restarting funds will have to be invested. It is impossible without a few million yen. The problem is that a few million yen is not a small amount. At this time, the daily
The exchange rate between the yuan and the US dollar is 2:1, one US dollar to two yen...
The only good thing is that Tubal Road retreated on its own initiative.
otherwise……
The consequences could be disastrous!
In fact, Hyakutake Harukichi did not expect that Tubalu did not retreat too far.
Zhang Chu led the mighty soldiers to Shuiquan Railway Station. The journey was uneventful and they successfully met up with Ding Wei and his troops.
"Zhang Chu!"
"Captain Ding!"
"I said, what on earth did you do?"
"Nothing. I just fought with the Japanese invaders near Jingxing Pass for two or three days and captured more than 300 Japanese."
"What?"
Ding Wei was stunned.
Captured more than 300 Japanese prisoners?
sky!
Are the Japanese invaders so cowardly now?
More than 300 people actually surrendered?
Later I found out he was not a soldier.
Yes, they are Japanese. But they are not Japanese invaders. They are all Japanese technicians and businessmen.
"Where did it come from?"
"We swept through all the coal mines near Jingxingguan. We killed many Japanese and captured many alive."
"What?"
Ding Wei was shocked.
Zhang Chu then briefly described what happened.
If it weren't for the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, he would have ordered these Japanese to be exterminated.
Then I thought about it, maybe we could exchange prisoners.
One Japanese was exchanged for ten Chinese prisoners of war. That was a very good deal.
"Old leader!"
"The Bull Demon King!"
Niu Maocai used to be Ding Wei's subordinate. Now that he sees the old regiment leader, he is naturally even more happy.
Zhang Chu quietly started gossiping next to him. Bull Demon King? What does it mean?
Niu Maocai reported in more detail.
"sky!"
"You are making such a big noise!"
Ding Wei was shocked.
He now really admires Zhang Chu's courage.
This is not called bold.
This can be called crazy. Even crazier than crazy.
They all dare to dig Jingxingguan!
"By the way, what's going on at Shuiquan Railway Station?"
"Isn't it because you made too much noise?"
"oh……"
Zhang Chu finally understood.
Fortunately, the Japanese invaders were forced to abandon Shuiquan Railway Station.
As a result, my mandatory mission was completed unexpectedly. There was no need to attack at all.
Perhaps, this is what the art of war calls a tactic of avoiding reality and attacking fictitiousness?
"The Japanese 108th Division is dispatched!"
"We have made such a big noise, and the Japanese invaders will definitely retaliate wildly. We must evacuate immediately."
"good!"
Zhang Chu nodded in agreement.
He also felt that he had made too much noise and the Japanese invaders would definitely retaliate wildly.
The railway line was the lifeblood of the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders must re-open it.
Fighting head-on with the Japanese invaders on the railway line is not the best strategy.
The most fundamental tactic is to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory. Attract the Japanese aggressors to a place far away from the railway line, and then encircle and annihilate them.
From this perspective...
The two Japanese regiments near Cangyunling are absolutely doomed.
If it were more than 8,000 people like me...
wrong!
More than eight thousand people!
Including the rescued miners, there are a total of 13,000 people!
If they were all involved in the battle at Cangyunling, the two regiments of the Japanese invaders would be unable to fly.
right!
Just do it!
Concentrate your forces first to eliminate the two Japanese aggressor regiments in Cangyunling.
Then the Eighth Route Army can free up more troops to deal with it.
For example, go south to Ping'an County to help Li Yunlong...
Or go to Fan County and help Ding Wei conquer Fan County...
"Captain Ding, please discuss with your superiors to see if Cangyun Ridge needs reinforcements?"
