Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 565 Small-scale Meeting of Gongde Forest
On July 1941, 7, the horn of the Kwantung Army's destruction in Changzhi was sounded.

The 280th Regiment, 281st Regiment, Secret Service Regiment, and 18th Regiment in the siege city totaled more than [-] people, and they squeezed the remaining Japanese troops in the city to the front line of the city wall in a panic.

Yang Han was about to ask the artillery company to set up the mortar and blast the little devil fiercely, but he heard the soldiers under him say: "Regiment seat, the 281 regiment has retreated!"

"Withdrawal?" Yang Han said and looked in the direction the soldiers pointed, and sure enough, the 280 regiments participating in the battle were slowly retreating and gathering.

Just when Yang Han was puzzled, Xu Dali came over with a group of people: "Old Yang, the former commander ordered our department to have another task. The 18th regiment has taken over from our department. I brought the artillery company. Leave it to your unified command!"

"The former refers to the command. You will be in command of the three regiments in the city. I will leave you two correspondents to contact the Secret Service Regiment and the 18th Regiment. If there is any trouble, you can let Political Commissar Fu communicate with them. He is more suitable!" Xu Xu What Dali thinks can be said to be comprehensive.

"Is there any task more important than exterminating the little devil in front of you? You gave it up on your own initiative. Don't say it when the time comes, you haven't left a mouthful of soup!" Yang Han said, glancing at Dong Jiang beside Xu Dali. He knew that although the commander of the reconnaissance company in front of him had a low position, he was a confidant of his superiors, and most of the secret missions and orders were carried out by him.

"Hey!" Xu Dali grinned after hearing this. He has nothing to hide from Yang Han, and Yang Han's organizational relationship is in the second division.

I saw Xu Dali stepped forward and put his arms around Yang Han's shoulders and said: "The iron guys outside the city have to get rid of them quickly, or else things will change later, you bro, don't worry about it here!"

"That's it, easy to say, easy to say!"

Xu Dali came to inform Yang Han before retreating, and it was also Zhou Weihan's special confession, so as to avoid Yang Han's embarrassment.

Although the attacking troops only used Type [-] infantry artillery and mortars, the little devils have become a battle of beasts, and there are Eighth Route Army troops inside and outside the city.

After the shelling, the participating troops were not in a hurry to attack. A clerk from the regiment headquarters of the 280th regiment was hiding at the foot of a room with an iron horn, and poked his head out secretly: "Little devils on the other side, listen, you have nowhere to go!" But I escaped, I heard that you are all from outside the Kwantung Army, you are the elite of the Kwantung Army, but when you come to us, you are beaten and have no power to fight back?"

"Don't you little Japan pay attention to the spirit of Bushido? Why do you only hide on the city wall at this time, lingering on your last breath? I am ashamed for your emperor!"

"Baga!" The little devil on the city wall yelled.

There was a "pop" gunshot, and the clerk of the 280th regiment glanced at the iron horn in his hand, and was hit by a bullet hole: "The marksmanship is quite accurate!"

The clerk shrank his head back, and continued to shout: "What kind of hero is a sniper, if you are a man, you can come down from the city wall, and die in a decent way, and you will be loyal to your emperor!"

At this time, the nearby streets, alleys, and roofs were covered with soldiers from the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, some soldiers behind them were conducting a dragnet search against Nancheng.

"Hey, leader, your idea is really bad, how did you come up with it?" Fu Weisheng, the political commissar of the 280th regiment, looked at the scene in front of him and joked.

"Hey, this is also learned from our Eighth Route Army. You need to be flexible when you hit the little devil. The little devil is standing on the city wall and his marksmanship is accurate. The soldiers touch the bottom of the city wall from their current position. The devil is in close combat!" Yang Han said.

For a while, the clerk kept talking, and the little devil on the city wall couldn't bear it anymore, and saw the little devil rushing down from the city wall along the steps.

"Give it up!" A Japanese officer with the rank of Major in the crowd shouted at the Eighth Route Army opposite him, holding up his command saber.

There were less than [-] little devils rushing towards the [-]th Route Army who were waiting in formation, but they saw that the firepower points deployed everywhere were ready.

The little devil originally thought that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side would give them a fair duel. At this time, in order to show the spirit of Bushido, he rushed over regardless.

"Da da da!" The light and heavy machine guns arranged in advance fired at the same time, and the little devil's charge formation stagnated immediately, and he fell to the ground like cutting wheat.

Under the dense firepower net, the place where the little devils were was suddenly covered in blood, and what was even worse was that some little devils were crying on the ground enduring the pain.

That night, the former enemy headquarters and the independent regiment of the New Fifth Army moved forward to Changzhi City, but Zhou Weihan did not set up the headquarters in the original [-]th Army headquarters.

"Old Xing, where are Fan Hanjie and the others?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Yituan called just now. Commander Fan and his party are less than five miles away from Changzhi, and they are almost there!" Xing Zhiguo replied.

"Okay, call Deputy Commander Xing, let's go out of the city to meet him. After all, Changzhi is still his territory!"

In the First Battle of Changzhi, Zhou Weihan admired the performance of the [-]th Army or Fan Hanjie. Since then, Zhou Weihan has also changed his perception of Fan Hanjie.

Although the two belong to different camps and have different political views, they both fight against Japan from the bottom of their hearts. If they still insist on being a pure soldier in the future, then it is advisable for the two to be friends.

The guards of the reconnaissance company are on the left and right, and Zhou Weihan and the three walk in the middle. After thoroughly searching the city, there are still several patrol teams in the city. In order to avoid misunderstanding, the secret service group and the 18th group have withdrawn to station outside the city. .

At the south gate of Changzhi, several piles of bonfires were lit, and soldiers from one regiment and one company lined up in two teams, holding torches at the gate to drive away the darkness.

Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes. The people in the middle were headed by Fan Hanjie, Liu Jin, deputy commander of the 46th Army, Huang Zuxun, commander of the 89th Division, Chen Sunong, commander of the Eighth Division, and Shu Rong, commander of the 187th Division, on his right. Li Jiayu, commander of the [-]th Army, Li Zongfang, commander of the [-]th Division, and Pang Bingxun, who did not have much sense of presence in this battle.

Among this group of people, Pang Bingxun was sixty-one at the time, the oldest. He wore official uniforms, but he was like a rich man, lacking in energy but holding military power.

This is why Fan Hanjie arranged the [-]th Army in Gaoping and tried not to let the [-]th Army participate in the war.

Although they have just experienced a big battle, it is inevitable for everyone to exchange pleasantries when they meet.

"It stands to reason that it should be arranged by Commander Fan, but now I really have turned the subject upside down!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile: "Everyone, let's advance to the city!"

After hearing this, Fan Hanjie smiled and waved his hands: "I am very satisfied that I can go back to Changzhi. This time, I would like to thank all my colleagues for helping me out and saving the [-]th Army and the people of Changzhi from the fire and water. I can't thank you enough, gentlemen, please!"

"Commander Fan, please!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Please!"

"Please!"

Zhou Weihan and Pang Bingxun walked last, and Pang Bingxun nodded to Zhou Weihan and smiled.

Zhou Weihan looked at the people walking in front. Except for the 187th division commander Li, everyone present had two stars on their collar badges.
