Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 378 The Encirclement Against the Japanese Army

How could Wang Yigong's fourth regiment's series of military operations in Pingshun hide from the eyes and ears of the Japanese army, but Tian Daoshengwu was too confident in the strength of the Japanese army before.

It was just that the Japanese army in Pingshun was strictly defended based on their strongholds and cities, and waited for a part of the Japanese army of the [-]st Division led by him to gain an advantage in the battle along the Lucheng line, and then return to the division to destroy Pingshun's Eighth Route Army.

Tian Dao Shengwu's move was very courageous. He exchanged the loss of some areas in Pingshun for the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Tainan Eighth Route Army. There was a big deviation in the battle situation.

As a result, the Japanese army was blocked by the Xinyi regiment in Weizi Town, and it was difficult to join the Japanese army that was fighting against the 28th regiment for a long time.

Forty-one Division Division Headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Pingshun sent a telegram. This morning, many strongholds in the north of Pingshun were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and they have lost contact! They speculate that the Eighth Route Army is very likely to attack the Xinzhuang stronghold in the next step!" The telegraph operator at the regiment headquarters reported.

"Nani, the Eighth Route Army has moved to the north of Pingshun to attack again?" Tian Daoshengwu was still kept in the dark.

Immediately walking in front of the map, the combat staff officer was marking the several strongholds just mentioned on the map one by one.

Following the Eighth Route Army's offensive trajectory, and finally looking at the Xinzhuang stronghold, Tian Daoshengwu exclaimed: "Baga, what is the Eighth Route Army trying to do?"

Seeing that Pingshun's Eighth Route Army focused its attack on the road from Pingshun to Lucheng, the old devil Tian Daoshengwu finally sensed the crisis.

"Let Matsutani Shinya come to the division headquarters immediately!" Tian Dao Shengwu shouted loudly.

Makoto Matsutani is also the captain of the 239th Wing, and is in charge of the Japanese offensive against Weizi Town on the front line.

It didn't take long for Matsutani to return to the division headquarters from the front line.

"Mr. Songgu, how long will it take to take down Weizi Town!" Tian Daoshengwu asked sharply.

"The Eighth Route Army in Weizi Town suffered heavy losses under the attack of the imperial army. It has already lost several positions outside the town. I predict that we can take Weizi Town today and join the vanguard tonight!" Shinya Matsutani Said confidently.

"You know our rear is in danger, the Eighth Route Army can launch an attack from behind at any time!"

"Nani!" Matsutani, who knew nothing about it, was also taken aback.

After understanding the situation, Matsutani also suggested: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, should you ask Jiro Ikeda's 238th Regiment to come from the southern area of ​​Changzhi to increase troops?"

"No, the 238th Regiment must not be moved. The Chinese government troops stationed a lot of troops here. Ikeda Jiro's strength is already stretched. Once the enemy sees the truth, the consequences will be disastrous!" Tian Michi Moritake directly rejected Matsutani Shinya's request. proposal.

"However, we are about to capture Weizi Town and eliminate the Eighth Route Army along Lucheng at this very moment. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity!" Song Gu said unwillingly.

"I'm not far from giving up this good opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so you have to organize your forces and strengthen your offensive strength. As long as you eliminate the Eighth Route Army in Weizi Town and join the vanguard, the surrounding Eighth Route Army will not be able to do anything to us. You I understand!"

"Hi!" Matsutani also bowed his head in response, then hurriedly turned his head and left.

"Where is the 104th brigade now?"

The adjutant obviously hesitated when he heard Tian Daoshengwu's inquiry. Before that, Tian Daoshengwu was furious because the 104 brigade could not reinforce Lucheng in time.

Then he said: "Your Excellency, division commander, our department has lost contact with the radio stations of the 104th Brigade's subordinate troops in Wuyi and Wu'an. According to the response from the 104th Brigade's brigade headquarters, its two infantry brigades are still communicating with the independent detachment. Fight fiercely, and even ask our troops to quickly reinforce the Wuyi and Wu'an areas!"

"Nani? Baga, are they still fighting fiercely with the independent detachment? It seems that they can't be referred to. Where is the cavalry regiment of Nishioka Yanji?"

"The Cavalry Wing was left in the Tunliu area to cooperate with the [-]th Independent Mixed Brigade. It should be fighting in the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army!" the adjutant replied.

"Immediately order the cavalry regiment to quickly reinforce Lucheng!"

"Hi!"

At this moment, compared with Tian Dao Shengwu who was like spinning on a hot pot, Li Yunlong seemed a little calm.

Ever since Li Yunlong got the news that the siege was about to be completed, he intentionally whetted the little devil's appetite, deliberately shrinking the forces in the southwest and southeast directions outside Weizi Town, clearly to give the little devil a taste of sweetness.

At this time, the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion retreated from the second position to the third position.

Not long after, the Japanese army occupied the second position, before they had time to cheer.

Suddenly there was an explosion, and the seriously wounded who voluntarily stayed on the ground ignited the explosives, and died together with the rushing Japanese troops.

Although the Japanese army occupied the position, they paid a lot of casualties.

Matsutani Shinya, who returned to the front line, continued to organize the Japanese army to launch an offensive regardless of the casualties.

The words are divided into two ends, Xinzhuang stronghold.

The First Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, and the Artillery Battalion had all rushed to the Xinzhuang stronghold. Zhou Weihan immediately issued a combat order. The Cavalry Regiment sent a platoon to investigate along the Hanchang Highway, and the rest of the troops temporarily rested.

Zhou Weihan and Xing Zhiguo called the military chiefs together to make the final military deployment.

"Since the start of the battle of Lijiagou, in nearly three days, the troops dispatched by the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army have finally completed the encirclement! In the past, it was always the little devils encircling us with an iron wall, but now it is reversed. Since If you dare to send troops to my base area to sweep up, then I will also surround you with an iron wall, and even a little devil will not want to run away!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Look, this is the fork of the Hanchang Highway and the Pingshun-Lucheng Highway. The Fourth Regiment set up an ambush along the commanding heights of the two roads at the fork. The large Japanese troops must be advancing and retreating along the road. You guys The task of the regiment is to cover the bottom line, once the main force is dispatched, it will be a joke if the little devils from other places take the back road!" Zhou Weihan said, pointing to the map.

"The First Regiment, the Artillery Battalion, and the Cavalry Regiment marched along the Han-Chang Highway, stabbing the [-]st Division in the ass! Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment has persisted in Weizi Town for two days, and the casualties are not small!" Then Zhou Weihan continued Detailed deployment was carried out.

The temporary combat meeting was not over yet, and the cavalry platoon responsible for scouting the enemy came back.

"Report to the detachment leader, we set off from the fork and found that all the strongholds along the route have been destroyed, and there are only a small number of puppet troops stationed along the way!"

"As we expected just now, Ding Wei's 28th Regiment had already destroyed their stronghold during their activities on the Hanchang Highway, which saved us trouble!" Xing Zhiguo said.

"The battle plan is like this, the key is to be fast, all troops should act immediately!" Zhou Weihan finally said.

Subsequently, the cavalry regiment was the first to dispatch, and more than [-] cavalrymen galloped on the Hanchang Highway. The puppet troops encountered along the way fled towards the nearby forests under the leadership of the cavalry regiment.

Some of the puppet troops who were stubbornly resisting were easily dealt with by the cavalry regiment.
