Soldiers from the enemy's Ministry of Industry shouted over and over again through their loudspeakers.
Zhang Dabiao planned to ask the soldiers from the enemy's Ministry of Industry to shout for half an hour.
Tanks, artillery, and heavy artillery will continue to bombard for half an hour, and then tanks and infantry will launch a general attack.
The reason why all the tanks are pressing forward now is that Zhang Dabiao wants to show off his muscles and scare the puppet troops.
Although with the current military strength and firepower under Zhang Dabiao.
It only takes a wave of infantry and tank attacks to capture this Japanese and puppet army position.
But the troops are bound to cause some casualties to the troops.
If we can capture this position without any bloodshed, fewer soldiers will be sacrificed.
Even if it means sacrificing one less soldier, it's still worth it.
so.
During the break between the heavy artillery fire, Zhang Dabiao ordered the soldiers from the enemy's Ministry of Industry to shout to the puppet troops.
The Japs are unlikely to surrender.
Zhang Dabiao was not happy to see the Japanese surrender. All the Japanese should die.
…
On the Japanese army position at Crouching Mountain.
At the beginning, the Japanese squadron leader shook the Type 4 anti-tank mine in his hand as if facing a formidable enemy.
The Eighth Route Army's heavy tanks have long been thunderous.
On the front line, even a squadron of Japanese soldiers could hardly destroy an Eighth Route Army heavy tank.
but.
The Eighth Route Army's heavy tanks did not fire after approaching the forward position of Wohu Mountain.
Listening to the Eighth Route Army's shouting, the Japanese squadron leader suddenly showed some doubts on his face. He could not understand Chinese.
"What is the Eighth Route Army doing?"
The Japanese squadron leader looked at the translator on the side and asked sternly.
The translator was a Chinese, and he finally replied truthfully: "The Eighth Route Army is asking the Locust Alliance Army to kill the Locust Army in exchange for a chance to survive."
"Nani?"
The Japanese squadron leader looked shocked and looked at the puppet soldiers around him.
The eyes of the puppet soldiers were wandering around, staring at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, with uncertain expressions on their faces, as if they were hesitating whether to attack the Japanese soldiers.
"Taijun, please rest assured, my soldiers will never betray you."
On the side, Zhong Yunhe, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Independent Division of the Locust Alliance Army, patted his chest and assured.
Then, Zhong Yunhe shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't believe the Eighth Route Army's lies, they will not let us go. We will fight to the end with the Eighth Route Army. Killing one will be enough, and killing two will not be a loss!"
Other puppet soldiers might be able to surrender, but Zhong Yunhe couldn't.
To be able to achieve the position of brigade commander of the puppet army, one must surrender to the Japanese and kill many soldiers. Surrendering is also a dead end, and one can only follow the Japanese until death.
Therefore, even if he surrenders, what awaits Zhong Yunhe can only be the people's trial.
A small number of die-hard traitors heard this and echoed loudly, but most of the puppet soldiers still hesitated with their faces and eyes uncertain.
"idiot!"
The Japanese squadron leader saw a puppet soldier not far away and took one look at him. He immediately took out his box and shot the puppet soldier.
A flower of blood suddenly bloomed on the puppet soldier's chest and he fell in the trench.
The nearby puppet troops suddenly became silent and did not dare to move.
But the puppet soldiers in the distance thought that someone had taken the lead, and someone shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with the Japanese!"
then.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly there was loud gunfire on the Crouching Mountain position, and the Japanese and puppet troops began to fight with each other.
Although the Japs are powerful and fierce in combat, they are few in number and scattered across various positions.
And the puppet troops were in large numbers, so they dared to fight against the Japanese just to survive.
The battle only lasted for more than ten minutes. More than 100 puppet soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than 200 people from a Japanese squadron were wiped out.
The Japanese squadron leader was shot to death randomly, and Zhong Yunhe was tied up by puppet soldiers.
As the gunfire stopped, a white flag slowly rose from the Japanese frontline, and at the same time a trembling voice came out:
"Ba, Ba Ye!"
"Stop firing, we surrender!"
"We have killed all the Japs on the battlefield..."
immediately.
Infantry and tanks entered the Crouching Mountain position and began to accept the surrender of the puppet troops.
…
"Head of the regiment, political commissar, two pieces of good news!"
Cai Dongcun, frontline headquarters of the New Regiment.
Wang Dehou hung up the walkie-talkie call of the first battalion, and then took the telegram from the telegraph operator. After reading the telegram, he said to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with a smile on his face.
"What two pieces of good news?"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.
At present, Li Yunlong is the commander-in-chief of the front line. Although he comes to the front line, he is responsible for the front line command. Li Yunlong participates in the coordination of the overall plan and issues the orders. However, the front line command can be executed by other officers.
"First good news."
Wang Dehou looked at the telegram in his hand:
"Just now, Camp Commander Ma sent a telegram. As expected, the 1st Japanese Cavalry Brigade was fooled and was completely wiped out by our air support and hundreds of heavy machine guns."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and others lit up.
The 1st Cavalry Brigade has been in Taiyuan for almost a year.
Li Yunlong tried many times to eat up the 1st Cavalry Brigade and expand the Eighth Route Army's cavalry force, but failed.
The reason was that the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Tadamichi Kuribayashi, was very cunning.
On one occasion, Li Yunlong deployed hundreds of machine guns and 20mm cannon firepower in the Xinzhou Basin, hoping to kill the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but Tadamichi Kuribayashi was not fooled.
The corners of Ding Wei's lips turned up slightly: "It seems that the new brigade commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Kaneto Yasuda, is not as sophisticated as Tadamichi Kuribayashi."
The Eighth Route Army had naturally received the information a long time ago, and the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade had already been replaced.
Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "This is called one general being incompetent and killing the entire army."
Li Yunlong felt a little regretful: "This old devil, Li Lin Zhongdao, does have something. It's a pity that he escaped from Shanxi."
At that time, the Eighth Route Army had not yet equipped aircraft, and Li Linzhongdao took a plane to leave Taiyuan Airport. Although Li Yunlong received the intelligence, he had no chance to take action.
"Sooner or later!"
Zhao Gang dropped his smile, spoke harshly, and then looked at Wang Dehou:
"Chief of Staff, what's the second good news?"
This small chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Dehou said: "Just now, Battalion Commander Zhang reported that the Hesheng Battalion has captured the Japanese and puppet troops' Crouching Mountain position without any blood."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dehou captured the Wohu Mountain position with the combined battalion and gave a general summary.
"This kid Zhang Dabiao has learned three things from me, Li Yunlong."
Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this, his tone and expression were extremely satisfied.
Zhao Gang and Ding Wei also looked more and more delighted. They did not expect to capture Crouching Tiger Mountain, which was the key defense of the Japanese and puppet troops, so quickly, and they did so without a single blow.
After capturing Crouching Tiger Mountain, the Eighth Route Army's infantry, tanks, and heavy firepower units could reach Taiyuan City directly.
"Order Zhang Dabiao to continue the attack and strive to capture Taiyuan within today!"
Li Yunlong's eyes rolled around and he issued an order:
"Since thousands of puppet troops have surrendered, we can do something about these puppet troops to try to outwit Taiyuan and reduce troop casualties."
Now, in order to survive this group of captured puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army asked the puppet troops to go east, but the puppet troops would never dare to go west.
"yes!"
Wang Dehou turned around and went to deliver the order.
…
Niangziguan battlefield.
Inside the Japanese encirclement.
The Eighth Route Army's shelling continued, with hundreds of thousands of artillery shells falling on the Japanese positions every day.
Each Japanese soldier can get a few rounds of artillery shells every day.
After the Zhengtai Road ambush battle broke out, the new regiment's flying brigade was expanded to include the Zhengtai Road ambush battle and the Taiyuan battle.
The flying group from the headquarters took over the task of dropping aerial bombs on the Japanese soldiers who were surrounded by Niangziguan.
In the Japanese Army Command Headquarters.
All the Japanese officers, including Tanabe Moritake, had solemn faces and despair in their eyes.
A group of Japanese lieutenant generals, major generals, and a group of subordinate officers and staff were just silent, staring dumbfounded at the bombed Locust Army positions in the distance and the retreating Eighth Route Army planes, turning a deaf ear to the earth and debris shaken down by the explosion of artillery shells above their heads.
"How long will the Eighth Route Army continue to shell and bomb?"
After a long silence, the commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Sakuma, couldn't help but ask.
but.
No one could answer his words, and no one knew how long the Eighth Route Army would continue to shell and bomb.
Today is the third day that the Eighth Route Army bombed and shelled the surrounded Locust Army.
The Eighth Route Army would pour a large number of aerial bombs, incendiary bombs and artillery shells into the encircled area every day.
The Japanese army suffered heavy losses and were in short supply of food and ammunition.
These days, the Japanese troops who were surrounded tried their best, but failed to break through.
The Eighth Route Army's encirclement was impregnable.
The Eighth Route Army in the Central Hebei Military District, which was originally looked down upon by the Japanese army and considered weak in combat effectiveness, suddenly became stronger after receiving supplies of weapons and ammunition, and became the ace local tycoon force.
"The Eighth Route Army fired more than 150,000 artillery shells at our positions every day, dropped more than 1,000 aerial bombs, and more than hundreds of incendiary bombs."
"Where are our reinforcements?"
The commander of the 110th Division had bloodshot eyes and roared hysterically.
The Japanese army's headquarters was set up in a natural cave, but the other Japanese soldiers were in dire straits and had to be tortured in the open air by the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells and aerial bombs.
Although some Japanese engineers and soldiers dug some air-raid shelters, they were just drinking poison to quench their thirst.
"The 27th Division and the 21st Division are on their way."
Tanabe Moritake weakly replied:
"If we persist for two days at most, we will be saved."
Suddenly, Tanabe Shengwu's eyes narrowed, and murderous intent overflowed, it was all about that damn Youmo Jingsan!
If it hadn't been for the Mo Jing San who suggested to General Okamura Neiji that he come to Niangzi Pass to supervise the battle.
At this time, I should be on duty in the headquarters, leisurely and leisurely on duty during the war. How could I be in such a deserted place and be surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army?
Tanabe Moritake swore that if he could get out alive, he would find a way to kill the turtle grandson Youmo Seizan!
"Can we hold on for another two days?"
Kanji Nishihara, commander of the 23rd Division, looked around and asked.
Everyone was silent, but they knew that before the arrival of the 21st Division and the 27th Division, the Eighth Route Army would definitely take the lead in launching a general offensive.
The Japanese army had been bombarded by artillery shelling and aerial bombs, and more than half of them had been killed or injured.
The subsequent Eighth Route Army attack will definitely be much stronger than expected.
"what to do?"
The commander of the 35th Division, Tokusatsu Shigeta, looked at Moritake Tanabe.
then.
All the Japanese officers looked at Tanabe Moritake.
Tanabe Moritake's eyes were gloomy: "Continue to ask General Okamura Neji for tactical guidance!"
what to do?
Serve cold.
…
The encirclement and annihilation campaign on Zhengtai Road is in full swing.
The Japanese soldiers who were surrounded did not sit still and wait for death.
After the order from the First Army Headquarters was issued, the Japanese communications troops broke into pieces under artillery fire and issued combat orders to disperse and break out to some squadrons and squads.
Later.
The Japanese soldiers who were surrounded began to attack the Eighth Route Army's defense line.
Due to the terrain, firepower distribution, and the large size of the encirclement, some small Japanese troops broke out of the encirclement.
After these small Japanese troops broke out of the encirclement, they did not dare to fight and immediately ran towards the mountains in the distance.
But soon, the cavalry of the new cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army nearby received a notification from the brother troops using a walkie-talkie.
The Japanese were running in front, and the new regiment of cavalry was chasing after them. The Japanese who broke out of the encirclement almost became a living target.
In the distance, the Eighth Route Army cavalry used Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Type 56 submachine guns to shoot at the Japanese.
After rushing to the front and rear, the Eighth Route Army cavalry used Yunlong sabers to harvest the Japanese heads. Bloody arrows were fired at them, and the heads rolled down.
but.
One Jaap force is an exception.
Near the headquarters of the First Army, the Japanese mixed into the troops of the 2nd Brigade, and under the orders of Masao Miyazaki, attacked the Eighth Route Army's defense line.
Taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army's firepower being attracted by those squadrons and squadrons, Yoshio Iwamatsu launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army's defense line under the cover of the Guards and Yamamoto's special forces.
Iwamatsu Yoshio's personal guards are all elite.
Not to mention the Yamamoto Special Agents, they are the best among the best.
Although the Guards and Special Forces suffered some losses during the shelling, their combat effectiveness was not greatly weakened.
Precise marksmanship, intensive automatic firepower, and grenade launchers without missing a beat opened a gap in the Eighth Route Army's encirclement.
Later.
A group of Japanese officers mounted their military horses, and the Guards left behind. The remaining 40 or so special agents also mounted their military horses and ran towards Shouyang County.
The four cavalry battalions of the new regiment all went to chase the Japanese who escaped from the encirclement.
Only the second battalion led by Ma Renxing remained as a reserve of cavalry.
Soon, Ma Renxing learned via radio that a small group of Japanese cavalry had strong firepower. After breaking out of the encirclement, they fled towards Shouyang.
Ma Renxing immediately judged that this Japanese cavalry unit was unusual and was probably a big fish for the Japanese.
Without hesitation, Ma Renxing personally led the cavalry battalion to chase the Japanese.
…
Outskirts of Taiyuan.
The surrounded Japanese soldiers suddenly felt extremely desperate when they learned that the main force had abandoned them and were surrounded on Zhengtai Road.
They attacked the Eighth Route Army's encirclement many times, but there were no Japanese to respond on the outside. Under the powerful firepower blockade of the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible to break out of the encirclement. The Eighth Route Army's encirclement was impregnable.
The Eighth Route Army was in full bloom on the Taiyuan battlefield, Niangziguan battlefield, and Zhengtai Road battlefield.
A situation of encirclement was formed against the main Japanese force in Shanxi.
Known in history as the Battle of Sanhua.
but.
The battle is not over yet.
Although the Japanese were surrounded, few Japanese surrendered. The Japanese, who had received bushido education since childhood, were prepared to fight the Eighth Route Army to the end.
