There was just a sound as Katayama's command knife struck Xu Dalong's blade.
Katayama had another move. He did not withdraw his command sword, but slid down the blade of the broadsword and slashed at Xu Dalong's thigh.
The broadsword in Xu Dalong's hand was heavy and powerful, but not as flexible as the command sword. He saw the command sword slashing towards his leg, and he raised the sword in his hand. Katayama's sword was deflected, grazing Xu Dalong's thigh.
Cut it over.
At this time, Xu Dalong's broadsword followed the pressure of Katayama's commanding sword and sank downwards. Then he raised it upwards and struck at Katayama's waist.
Katayama hurriedly took a step back and blocked Xu Dalong's blade with his command knife.
Xu Dalong didn't hit Katayama, so he raised his sword in the air and struck directly at Katayama's head.
In the confrontation just now, both sides used techniques. Katayama had not yet felt Xu Dalong's superhuman power. He saw Xu Dalong's blade hit his head, and he naturally raised the knife to block.
There was a sound as the big knife in Xu Dalong's hand struck the blade of Katayama's command knife.
Xu Dalong was born with supernatural power, and the force of this sword was so fierce. Katayama felt a pain in his hands under the fierce impact of Hongying's sword, and he almost couldn't hold on, and threw away the command sword by mistake.
Katayama was a little panicked. Xu Dalong didn't give him a chance to breathe. He raised his sword and slashed at Katayama continuously. Katayama couldn't dodge, so he could only block with his command knife. Once or twice, when the red tassel sword struck Katayama for the third time, he hit him.
When he held the command sword in his hand, Katayama felt his hands go numb and involuntarily let go.
The command knife was knocked away, and the Hongying sword followed the trend and made a long incision on Katayama's shoulder.
Katayama involuntarily took two steps back and barely stood firm. Looking at the blood on his body, he knew that he could no longer fight, so he gave up resistance, not even caring about the wounds on his shoulders and chest, and stood there.
There he closed his eyes and suffered death.
Xu Dalong said: "Katashan, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will spare your life."
Katayama opened his eyes and said sternly: "I am a samurai of the Yellow Army of Japan, and I will not surrender to you." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stiffened his neck, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
appearance.
Xu Dalong was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He handed the red tassel sword to Zhang Dabiao and said to him: "Chief of Staff, come on!"
Zhang Dabiao took the Hongying sword and came to Katayama. He did not agree with Katayama standing to die. He first kicked Katayama in the crook of the leg, knocking him to his knees on the ground, and then raised his
He picked up his machete and shouted: "Go to hell, you little devil!"
After saying that, the big knife struck down hard.
"We won, we won."
Thousands of anti-Japanese army soldiers shouted and cheered for victory.
At this time, Lin Xueying rushed over and handed the telegram in her hand to Xu Dalong.
After Xu Dalong read the telegram, he said to Chu Yunfei, Zhang Dabiao, Kong Jie and others: "The little devils are going to sneak attack our base area." After saying this, he handed the telegram in his hand to everyone to read.
When everyone saw the enemy troops rushing towards the base area, they couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Xu Dalong said: "Each department left some people to clean the battlefield, and the rest of the troops immediately marched back to the base area."
Chu Yunfei said with some worry: "We are hundreds of kilometers away from the base area. It is impossible to rush back in a short time. I am afraid it will be too late."
Xu Dalong said: "It doesn't matter. Although our main force is not in the base area, it is not easy for the little devils to occupy our base area. There are left-behind troops from various ministries in the base area, as well as the county brigade militia, and it is difficult for the little devils to move in the base area.
Let’s return to our division immediately and we will definitely be able to keep our base.”
Speaking of this, he smiled easily: "The reason why the Japs dared to sneak attack our base area is because they knew that our main force had left the base area. If we spread the news that the 16th Brigade of the Japs were annihilated, those who attacked us would
How will the little devils in the base react?"
Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "What a great idea! The little devils will definitely be scared out of their wits when they know that we killed the Pianshan Brigade. I'm afraid they will have already escaped before we can get back."
Everyone also thought it made sense and agreed one after another. Xu Dalong said to Lin Xueying: "Record it."
Lin Xueying immediately took out paper and pen and began to record the contents of the telegram dictated by Xu Dalong.
Soon after, she sent the message as a clear telegram.
Soon, Xu Dalong led Ma Wushan's cavalry unit, Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron to take the lead.
Yangquan City.
Just after the battle at Goat Slope started, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the Independent Brigade, telling them that they had completed the task of confusing the enemy and asked them to evacuate Yangquan City in accordance with the pre-planned battle plan.
Wang Limin, Gao Zhiyong, Huang Jingzhong and others left the armor and cavalry units of the Mawushan guerrillas as cover, and led the main force of the independent brigade to quickly evacuate.
Of course, in order to confuse the enemy, before evacuating, they launched a violent bombardment at Yangquan City, creating a situation of imminent attack on the city and forcing the Japanese army to strengthen the city defense.
When the Japanese 110th Division guarding Yangquan City saw the enemy launching a fierce artillery bombardment, they really thought that the enemy was about to attack the city again. They hurriedly entered the position and made preparations to guard against the enemy's attack.
But to their surprise, the enemy did not launch a large-scale attack. There were only armored units and cavalry units operating at the front of the position. They were just showing off and did not launch an attack.
The commander of the 110th Division was confused and couldn't figure out what the enemy was going to do. Since the enemy's situation was unclear, he did not dare to lead the troops to attack rashly, so he ordered the troops to hold on to the city defense and wait until the enemy's situation was clear before making a decision.
Soon after, he received a report from Yoshio Shinozuka, saying that he had received a notification from the North China Front Army Headquarters that the main force of the Mawushan guerrillas and the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army were currently present in the Goat Slope area at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi.
The 16th Brigade of the 8th Division is being besieged. The enemy forces attacking Yangquan City are only part of the Mawushan guerrillas.
Let him lead the troops to attack decisively, eliminate the enemy in front of him, and then cooperate with the garrison 32nd Division and 21st Brigade to attack the Mawushan base area.
The commander of the 110th Division suddenly realized that he finally understood why the enemy did not launch an attack and must have retreated. The whole night, he could not sleep well because of the enemy's attack. When he learned that he had been injured
After being deceived, he felt very angry and immediately ordered his troops to open the city gate and go out to pursue the enemy.
The Japanese army opened the city gate and just rushed out of the city when they encountered fierce firepower from the Mawushan armored troops and cavalry troops. They lost a lot of soldiers and horses in vain and had to retreat back to the city obediently.
The commander of the 110th Division had no choice but to order his troops to detour from other city gates to outflank the enemy forces outside the city.
The members of the Mawushan guerrillas were well prepared. They repelled the Japanese troops coming out of the city and began to evacuate without waiting for the enemy troops coming out of other city gates to arrive.
The division commander was very angry and immediately ordered his troops to chase him out of the city.
The 110th Division is mainly infantry. With their short legs, they cannot catch up with the chariot troops and cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas.
In order to prevent the enemy troops from escaping, the Japanese army also gathered some vehicles and a small number of cavalry and pursued the guerrillas.
The guerrillas quickly evacuated, and the Japanese army pursued them. About an hour later, the Japanese army suddenly found that the enemy troops in front had stopped. The tank troops had set up a formation on the road, and the enemy cavalry had divided into two groups to attack them.
Carry out outflanking.
At this time, these Japanese soldiers woke up. They were far away from the large forces behind them and had no advantage in terms of strength.
The Japanese commander hurriedly ordered the troops to dismount and launch a counterattack.
Enemy tanks and armored vehicles were roaring over, and the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas also quickly surrounded them from both sides.
The Japanese officers and soldiers carried only light weapons and a small number of artillery. Before they could set them up, they were completely destroyed by the fierce artillery and machine gun fire from tanks and armored vehicles. Although they fiercely counterattacked the enemy,
With their flesh and blood, how could they be a match for steel monsters like tanks and armored vehicles? Their counterattack was in vain, and groups of them were knocked to the ground by the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers were extremely brave. Many soldiers rushed towards the tanks and armored vehicles with grenades, trying to get closer to blow up the tanks and armored vehicles.
Such tactics may be effective against a small number of tanks, but against armored groups, there is no chance to get close to the target. The firepower on the groups of tanks and armored vehicles is cross-covered, and all Japanese officers and soldiers who try to get closer are blocked.
Eliminated.
The Japanese army really could not withstand the attack of the armored group. They panicked and began to retreat back to the original route.
The Japanese cavalry fled desperately, and most of them escaped. The remaining poor infantry were soon blocked by the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas who outflanked them, and were completely annihilated soon after.
After wiping out the Japanese mechanized troops, the guerrillas did not leave, but waited on the road for the arrival of the Japanese army.
The commander of the Japanese 110th Division was very angry and led a large group of troops to catch up.
The large group of men and horses were on their way, and they saw the cavalry troops going to pursue the enemy. Seeing their panic, they knew that they must have suffered a loss from the enemy.
Soon after, the Japanese cavalry captain who had escaped was brought to the division commander.
The division commander asked with a straight face: "Why are you back? What happened to the mechanized troops chasing the enemy?"
The Japanese cavalry captain said with a frustrated face: "Your Excellency, the division commander, I was ordered to cover the mechanized troops to pursue the enemy. I encountered an enemy ambush on the way. The enemy has a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as many cavalry troops.
Our army was outnumbered, and all the infantry was in pieces. In order to report the situation to the division commander, we risked our lives to break out of the encirclement and rushed back to report to you."
This devil's cavalry captain is not stupid. He knows that if he tells the truth, the division commander will probably kill him.
Sure enough, when the division commander heard what he said, he did not continue to scold him, but waved his hand in disgust, motioning for him to get down.
At this time, the chief of staff of the division said: "Your Excellency, division commander, the enemy has a large number of tank troops and cavalry troops with strong combat effectiveness and strong maneuverability. We can no longer send small troops to pursue them. This kind of refueling tactic can only
Loss caused in vain.”
The division commander nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Order the large troops to march together. In their words, if they can run away from the monks but cannot run away from the temple, they will definitely return to their base area. As long as we capture their base area,
See where they can go."
The Japanese army continued to march vigorously, and soon saw the chariot and cavalry troops of the Mawushan guerrillas in front.
The Japanese army was already prepared this time. They immediately stopped advancing and began to set up artillery, preparing to concentrate their firepower on the guerrillas.
The guerrillas did not wait for the Japanese troops to set up their positions, but they fired at them and quickly withdrew.
By the time the Japanese soldiers set up their formation, the guerrillas had already run far away.
The Japanese army lost some officers and soldiers in vain, but did not injure the enemy at all. The division commander was furious. However, he could do nothing to the enemy's cavalry and chariot troops and could only watch them escape.
Soon after, the Japanese troops reorganized their troops and continued marching along the road.
At this time, the leading troops of the Japanese army were suddenly attacked by mortars again. Soon the Japanese army saw the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas. The cavalry ran away after the attack.
The Japanese soldiers lost a lot of men and horses and could only stare.
When the Japanese army reorganized their troops and moved forward, they saw another guerrilla tank unit not far away.
The leading troops of the Japanese were already frightened. They stopped at a distance and sent someone to report to the division commander.
The division commander now had experience. He ordered the troops to take a stance on the spot to attract the enemy's attention, and then sent two troops to outflank the enemy from the left and right flanks.
Their actions were seen in the eyes of the guerrilla cavalry. After launching an attack on the outflanking enemy troops, they quickly rendezvoused with the tank troops, and then used their powerful maneuverability to quickly get rid of the Japanese troops.
In this way, the guerrillas continued to harass the enemy, greatly slowing down the advance of the Japanese army, and covering the safe evacuation of the main force of the Independence Brigade.
Chiba Xunyi led the main force of the 32nd Division, and under the cover of two cavalry regiments, drove into Ping'an County.
He first heard the good news. Yan Guiwu reported to him that the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun had annihilated a large number of Mawushan guerrillas after a bloody battle and successfully occupied Yinping County. It was currently taking a short rest and preparing to continue the attack on Dongxiang.
county seat.
Qianye Xunyi thought this was a good sign. He sent a telegram to Yan Guiwu, praising him highly and saying that after annihilating the Mawushan guerrillas, he would definitely appreciate his merits.
