Chapter 422 Shocked Head of the Devil's Brigade: What, the Eighth Route Army dares to attack the county seat?
"Tick-tat-tat, tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick!——"
"Tick-tat-tat, tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick!——"
Hearing the familiar sound of the charging horn, in the past, Jiro Sakai and the Japanese soldiers would only show disdain.
But at this moment, the faces of these devils were extremely ugly.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, I saw a large group of figures roaring towards me from behind the mountain ridges on both sides of the front, so densely packed that I couldn't even count them.
That huge roar sounded like it was going to shatter the whole sky.
Looking around, there were only a few people standing around, less than a few hundred, and most of them were injured.
"It's over!"
Jiro Sakai knew that the situation was over, but he did not choose to retreat. Instead, he raised the command sword in his hand and rushed forward.
The other Japanese soldiers were also greatly encouraged and rushed forward together with their Sanba Gai equipped with bayonets.
Amidst the shouts of killing that shook the sky, the enemy and ourselves were like sparks hitting the earth, and they quickly collided with each other.
The stabbing skills of the soldiers of the new regiment may be slightly inferior to that of the Japanese, but the gap is definitely not as big as that of other newly formed regiments, especially Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion.
It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, but at this moment, the strength of the new regiment is dozens of times that of the Japanese army.
As the bloody stabbings unfolded, the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield fell one after another, while the number of new regiments of soldiers continued to increase. Before long, the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were completely wiped out.
.
At this time, the puppet troops in the rear also put down their weapons in cooperation, raised the white flag, and kept begging for mercy...
The screen is pulled back to Yangquan County.
half an hour ago.
The headquarters of the Japanese independent mixed 1st brigade.
Brigade leader Masaomi Yasuoka felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something bad was about to happen, and asked: "Where is Sun Yuliang? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The signal soldier who called immediately responded: "Report to the brigade commander, Brigadier Sun has gone on inspection. I just called the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. The signal soldier who answered the phone said that they have sent someone there.
Brigadier Sun has been notified, and Brigadier Sun should be back soon."
Yasuoka Masaomi nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, the head of the communications section suddenly hurried to Yasuoka Masaomi and paused: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the Sakai Brigade has just sent an urgent message saying that Niangziguan Railway Station was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the other party also invested a large amount of artillery.
!”
"Nani? Niangziguan was also attacked?" Masaomi Yasuoka suddenly frowned.
The chief of staff next to him, Koizumi Jiro, comforted him: "You don't have to worry, brigade commander. Niangziguan is the most important stronghold along the Zhengtai Railway. Its defenses are much stronger than other second-level strongholds, and its garrison strength is higher than that of other second-level strongholds.
There are also many more level strongholds. I estimate that even if a large number of artillery is deployed on the China-Tuba Road, at most it will only be a few small-caliber mortars, which will not be able to threaten the imperial army's defenses."
At this point, Koizumi Jiro suddenly changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, calculate the time, the armored train of the Imperial Army should be approaching Niangzi Pass, you should immediately send a telegram to ask them to speed up.
Go to Niangziguan and provide firepower guidance to Sakai Brigade!"
"In this way, Niangziguan Railway Station will be safe!"
Masaomi Yasuoka nodded and was about to order the communications section chief in front of him to generate electricity for the armored train. Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first: "Report... report to the brigade commander, according to the report from the Sakai Brigade, there is an attack on Niangziguan Railway Station.
It is very likely that it is an armored train of the Imperial Army.
In other words, the Imperial Army's armored train is very likely to have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army..."
Hearing this, Yasuoka Masaomi felt as if he was struck by lightning. Before the other party could finish his words, he interrupted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Even if the armored train of the Imperial Army is attacked by the Eighth Route Army of China, they will definitely have time to destroy themselves without letting it fall into the hands of the opponent!"
Communications Section Chief: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I have just tried to contact the armored train, but I sent several telegrams one after another, but the results were all in vain and there was no news at all."
Yasuoka Masaomi looked lost, and he no longer had the calmness before, because they all knew what this meant.
Although the fortifications such as the gun towers in Niangziguan can withstand the bombardment of small-caliber mortars, when faced with 105mm-caliber howitzers, they are not much different from those in Zhihu, not to mention that the armored train also carries a 150mm
caliber heavy artillery.
This means that the capture of Niangziguan Railway Station has become an established fact, and the Zhengtai Railway will also be cut off!
Chief of Staff Jiro Koizumi's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten several kilograms of shit.
However, it was raining all night, and at this moment, there was a burst of rapid gunfire outside the door, which was also mixed with several explosions.
Yasuoka Masaomi immediately came to his senses and yelled: "Baga! Where did the gunfire come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a second lieutenant officer on duty suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry: "Reporting to the brigade commander, your Excellency, something serious has happened. The Eighth Route Army has entered Yangquan County!"
"Nani?" Yasuoka Masaomi said with a shocked look on his face: "How could the Eighth Route Army sneak into the county town silently?"
Japanese Second Lieutenant: "It's Brigadier Sun. Brigadier Sun betrayed the imperial army and let the Chinese Tubal Route in through the West Gate!"
With the cooperation of Sun Yuliang, Wang Chengzhu and Monk Wei easily and quietly eliminated the Japanese squad on duty at the city wall, and then let in the independent Second Regiment outside the city.
As for Ding Wei's independent regiment, it was divided into three parts and blocked the other three walls and three gates of Yangquan County from the outside to prevent a single Japanese from escaping from the city.
After listening to the second lieutenant's report, although Yasuoka Masaomi was almost furious, he did not lose control. Instead, he quickly gave instructions: "The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in China is limited. Immediately move the garrison, gendarmerie, and detective teams in the city.
Let’s all gather together and use the favorable terrain to block it!”
"In addition, the Communications Section quickly reported the hijacking of the armored train and the attacks on Niangziguan and Yangquan County to the headquarters!"
"Hiyi!"
The communication class gave a loud pause, then quickly turned around and ran towards the communication class.
Yasuoka Masaomi did not want to ask for help, because the distant water could not save the nearby fire, and even if he asked for help, Taiyuan's army would not be able to rush over in the first time.
Even the 9th Brigade of Jinzhong could not catch up, because since the Eighth Route Army had already launched an attack on Yangquan County, it must have made complete preparations, and some garrison troops would definitely be left to set up an ambush halfway.
If the 9th Brigade arrives for reinforcements, it is very likely that it will be intercepted by the Eighth Route Army before it reaches the halfway point, and it will be difficult to protect itself.
Masaomi Yasuoka's move was just to let the headquarters know in advance and be prepared to respond.
It's not like we still don't know what happened after Yangquan, Niangziguan and the armored train lost contact.
