Yangquan County.

At this moment, most of the county was filled with fierce gunfire.

The Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army marched forward singing loudly, but the Japanese army was beaten back steadily.

The headquarters of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army is located in the east of the city.

Within the headquarters.

The communications section chief took the translated telegram and hurried to Yasuoka Masaomi and gave a brief report: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the commander said in his reply that he has sent reinforcements and ordered us to

Hold on to Yangquan County!"

After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Masaomi Yasuoka.

Masaomi Yasuoka glanced at it. Although Commander Yoshio Shinozuka said in the telegram that reinforcements would be sent, Masaomi Yasuka knew in his heart that there would be no reinforcements at all. This was just to boost the independent mixed army.

1 The morale of the brigade is just a lie.

However, Masaomi Yasuoka will not expose this lie, but will cooperate with Yoshio Shinozuka to continue to implement this lie.

At this moment, Susumu Yasuda, captain of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment, suddenly ran in from the outside with a panicked expression. While panting, he reported to Masaomi Yasuoka: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the situation is not good. The Eighth Route Army of China has captured

We arrived at the imperial army’s gendarmerie station in the center of the county.”

"The captain of the military police, Kameda Jiro Shaozuo, was so brave that he was shattered in battle!"

"Currently, the China Tubal Road is continuing to rush towards the brigade headquarters. Not only does the opponent have better firepower, but it also has far more troops than the imperial army. The current situation is very pessimistic! The imperial army on the front line simply cannot withstand it, and it is estimated that the Tubal Road will not be around for long.

We can break through the imperial army's defense line and reach the brigade headquarters."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, in order to ensure the best possible strategy, you'd better turn to breakout immediately!"

An Gang Masaomi said: "Yangquan County is the most important county in eastern Shanxi along the Zhengtai Railway. Its strategic position is very important to the 1st Army of our Imperial Army. I believe you should know it without me telling you!

There is absolutely no room for loss in Yangquan County, even if I become the 1st Brigade on my own and the entire army is shattered!"

Hearing this, Yasuda Susumu's expression turned extremely ugly.

Yasuoka Masaomi changed the subject and continued: "However, Yasuda-kun, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Our reinforcements are already on the way. As long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive, it will be the end of these China-Tuba Roads."

!”

"Hey Yi! I will do my best to defend Yangquan County!"

After hearing these words, Yasuda Susumu suddenly felt reassured. After another nod to Yasuoka Masaomi, he turned around and left with his saber in hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the yard, a grenade suddenly fell from the sky and landed right at the feet of Yasuda Susumu.

"idiot!"

Yasuda's entrance shrank rapidly, and before he could recover from his shock, the grenade exploded with a 'boom' sound.

The huge destructive force directly blasted a blackened crater with a diameter of less than half a meter on the ground.

Yasuda Susumu only felt a light touch under his feet, and his whole body took off. His body was dismembered in the air, with broken limbs and various broken internal organs flying everywhere along with the explosion shock wave. He was already dead before he even hit the ground.

The Japanese officers in the war room couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the bloody scene, and it was extremely difficult to see.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and more grenades also arrived suddenly.

The artillerymen of the Second Independent Regiment were obviously aiming. The grenades either landed in the brigade headquarters compound of the Japanese independent mixed 1st Brigade, or on the buildings. They did not land on the nearby streets, let alone

It fell on top of a house.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom, boom! -"

The grenades exploded one after another, immediately turning the entire brigade headquarters of the Japanese independent 1st Brigade into a sea of ​​flames. Houses were overwhelmed and collapsed directly, turning into ruins.

Masaomi Yasuoka, Jiro Koizumi, and a group of Japanese officers from the brigade headquarters were all buried in the rubble before they could escape.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers from the Second Independent Regiment rushed over. These Japanese officers were like groundhogs. As soon as they emerged from the ruins, they were blocked by the muzzles of black holes.

"Don't move!"

"idiot!"

Some Japanese officers who did not want to be captured shook their dazed heads and prepared to draw their guns to resist. The soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment did not tolerate them and pulled the trigger without thinking.

“Pah, pah, pah, pah!—”

The gunshots rang out, and the bodies of these Japanese officers were immediately punched with bloody holes, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Even a few Japanese officers who had no intention of resisting were affected and received lunch boxes on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment immediately swarmed forward and pushed the remaining Japanese officers to the ground.

During this period, although the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment abided by discipline and did not fire directly, they still used their rifle butts to greet the Japanese officers.

These guys, who were already disgraced, were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they kept howling miserably.

Then, some soldiers pulled out the dying Yasuoka Masaomi from the ruins.

When the leading soldier saw Yasuoka Masaomi's epaulettes, he immediately shouted at Xu Hailang who was walking to the door: "Batalion Commander, Japanese Major General, we have captured a Japanese Major General!"

"Japanese Major General?"

When Xu Hailang heard this, he immediately became energetic and immediately walked over in three steps and two steps at a time.

"Ma Gan, you did a good job. This is indeed a Japanese major general! If nothing else, he should be the brigade commander Yasuoka Masaomi of the Japanese independent mixed 1st brigade!"

Xu Hailang checked Yasuoka Masaomi's injuries and found that although several of his ribs were broken and his left arm was broken, his head was not injured.

Therefore, although the person fell into a coma, his life was not in danger. He immediately ordered: "Health worker, come and rescue him quickly. Don't let this old devil die!"

"yes!"

Several health workers agreed and ran over quickly with medical kits in hand, wanting to treat Yasuoka Masaomi's injuries.

At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from not far away: "Who should we rescue?"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The soldiers made way for Wang Chengzhu one after another and stood up to salute.

Xu Hailang put down his arm and said: "Commander, if nothing else happens, this Japanese Major General should be the brigade commander Anoka Masaomi of the Japanese independent mixed 1st Brigade.

So I want our health workers to save this old devil."

Wang Chengzhu: "Deputy Commander, you should know the conditions of our Eighth Route Army. We don't have enough medicines ourselves. How can we have any extra to save this old devil?"

Wouldn’t it be better to keep the comrades who are saving you?”

"this……"

Xu Hailang was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Tian Shuisheng, commander of the second battalion who was attacking the headquarters of the Japanese Brigade, suddenly rushed over and said: "Captain, our Eighth Route Army has discipline and must treat prisoners preferentially. You cannot take the lead in violating discipline!"

Moreover, this is a Japanese major general. If you keep him and hand him over to the headquarters, you can also exchange a lot of supplies from Yan Laoxi.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, we must save him."
