People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 265
Kangjia Town, the position of the 14th Regiment of the Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The 14th Regiment has more than 400 people at full strength, but after a series of battles, they have lost more than [-] casualties.

After more than 500 troops followed the little devil to Kangjia Town, Xiao Dao Xinxing arranged for them to station in Kangjia Town to contain the 48th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army in the west.

Chu Yunfei returned to the Lancheng Brigade Headquarters from the Huting stronghold area, and established contact with all the ministries immediately.

The Japanese and puppet troops are coming towards them in this battle, and the independent detachment is currently at the forefront, fighting fiercely with the Japanese and puppet troops.

Chen Ziyun commanded the artillery battalion and other troops to stay in the Huting stronghold to fight, so Chu Yunfei must do his best to provide support.

The 12th Reserve Regiment quickly received an order from the brigade headquarters, and they immediately launched combat operations.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui had no choice but to bring the troops directly to Kangjia Town.

Lin Zhiqiang, chief of staff of the brigade headquarters, is also here to supervise and urge combat operations.

Up to now, the Eighth Battalion, Ninth Battalion, and Tenth Battalion of the 12th Regiment are preparing to besiege Kangjia Town on three sides.

The brigade headquarters is directly under the Sun Yu Machine Gun Battalion, and it provides them with machine gun support.

In the mountain artillery company directly under the regiment, four Jin mountain artillery were deployed on the high ground and launched shelling one after another.

More than 14 people from the 1000th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army were under tremendous pressure in the face of such a firepower attack.

Seeing the heavy casualties of his troops, the head of the puppet army had no choice but to quickly report to Xiaodao Xinxing for help.

After Xiaojima Xinxing received the report, after careful consideration, he transferred back the Second Regiment under the First Division of the Royal Association Army, which was attached to the First Squadron of Independent Tanks.

The Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army currently has more than 2000 troops, and the weapon configuration is also very sophisticated.

The regiment has mountain artillery, the battalion has 82MM mortars, the company has 60MM mortars, and light machine guns are deployed to each squad.

Moreover, these troops have strong field capabilities and are supported by twelve Japanese tanks. Kojima Xinxing feels that it should be no problem to stabilize the position in Kangjia Town.

However, he didn't know that the 12th Regiment of Kangjia Town had been strengthened by the Seventh Battalion of the 358th Regiment and the Machine Gun Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters.

They have five battalions of troops, especially the machine gun battalion, which has twelve Type 13 [-]mm heavy machine guns and twelve Type [-] light machine guns.

The tanks currently mainly equipped by the Little Devils Armored Forces are Type 12 light tanks, and the maximum armor thickness of this tank is only [-]MM.

Not to mention large-caliber heavy machine guns, even some 7.92MM heavy machine guns use steel core bullets, which can penetrate Type [-] tanks.

This time, the First Squadron of Independent Tanks, which followed the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army, was equipped with ten Type [-] tanks and two Type [-] tanks.

These twelve tanks marched along the road, surrounded by a large number of puppet troops.

At around 2:[-], as the reconnaissance troops began to report, the reserve I[-] regiment quickly made adjustments and deployments.

Under Lin Zhiqiang's suggestion, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui quickly issued orders.

Chu Yu's [-]th Battalion was attached to Sun Yu's Machine Gun Battalion, and quickly went north to set up a blocking position to block the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The eighth, ninth, and tenth battalions were attached to the mountain artillery company and continued to attack Kangjia Town.

At present, the 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army in Kangjia Town, facing the attack of these three battalions, has suffered increasing casualties, and some positions have gradually lost their positions.

Each battalion of the 12th reserve regiment has three infantry companies and one machine gun company.

The machine gun company has four Type [-] heavy machine guns and two Type [-] infantry guns.

Each company has nine light machine guns, six 60MM mortars, and a large number of Czech and medium-sized rifles.

Their weapons and equipment are not weak, and they can also be supported by four mountain cannons.

The 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army belonged to the Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, and their weapons and equipment were far inferior to the First Division of the Imperial Association Army.

After continuous fighting, the only few 82MM mortars they supported were also started to be destroyed.

Without the support of these mortars, the puppet army in Kangjia Town was very passive in combat.

Especially after being hit by the powerful firepower of the 12th reserve regiment, the morale of the puppet army gradually became low.

Many puppet army officers began to suggest evacuation to the head of the puppet army. They believed that if they continued to stick to Kangjia Town, the entire army might be wiped out.

At 09:30, the fierce battle in Kangjia Town continued, but at this time the 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army suffered a large number of casualties.

They can continue to fight with only 1000 troops.

It has to be said that this puppet army is also a carefully selected unit of the First Army Command.

If other puppet troops faced such a blow, they would have been completely defeated long ago.

But after paying half of their casualties, they were still able to continue fighting.

These puppet troops are hardcore traitors and have certain combat effectiveness.

If it was the puppet troops of the Jin Provincial Security Regiment, they might have been attacked by the Jinsui Army, and would have withdrawn from the battlefield long ago, or even surrendered directly.

But this puppet army is different, they are desperately working for the little devil.

It was at this time that the Japanese and puppet troops rushing to help Kangjia Town had already started fighting with the Seventh Battalion and the Machine Gun Battalion.

The Seventh Battalion has four 81-type heavy machine guns and two [-]MM mortars occupying the commanding heights, constantly launching firepower strikes.

Dense bullets hit the puppet troops one after another, and many puppet troops were instantly thrown to the ground.

As a grenade broke away from the mortar, it fell into the puppet army.

After the explosion sounded, the shrapnel quickly spread around.

The second regiment of the puppet army was caught off guard, and they paid certain casualties.

But soon, the little devil armored soldiers of the first squadron of independent tanks responded quickly.

The turrets of the tanks turned quickly, and the artillery was aimed at the exposed firepower of the Seventh Battalion.

The 47MM tank gun of the Type [-] tank was the first to fire.

Two armor-piercing shells shot directly at the machine gun battery.

Fortunately, the company commander of the machine gun company saw the turret of the little devil tank turning, and hurriedly issued a transfer order.

Otherwise, if these two armor-piercing bullets hit, the heavy machine gun would definitely be destroyed.

"Boom boom boom."

Not to be outdone, ten Type 37 tanks fired armor-piercing projectiles with each [-]MM tank gun to suppress the firepower of the Seventh Battalion.

The Second Regiment of the Puppet Army took the opportunity to quickly disperse, and various weapons were immediately set up.

Four Jin orogenic cannons, six 82MM mortars, and a [-]-type, [-]-knot heavy machine gun were set up in different positions.

Immediately afterwards, under the command of some Japanese military advisers, these heavy weapons began to fire violently.

Cannonballs hit one after another, with deafening explosions one after another.

Chu Yu's Seventh Battalion had three infantry companies, and one machine gun company was suppressed.

In particular, the number of heavy machine guns equipped by the puppet army is quite a lot, and a heavy machine gun is constantly spraying flames.

The dense bullets were shot like a torrential rain, and the dust was flying on the ground. The soldiers were so suppressed that they couldn't look up.

The Type [-] heavy machine gun is a copy of the German Maxim heavy machine gun.

The thirty-knot heavy machine gun is a copy of the American Browning heavy machine gun.

These two heavy machine guns are water-cooled heavy machine guns, and they are fed with 250 rounds of ammunition.

Not to mention the quality of these heavy machine guns, the 250-round ammunition chain alone can keep them shooting continuously.

The four [-]-type heavy machine guns equipped by the Seventh Battalion were captured Japanese weapons, which used [-] rounds of ammunition for ammunition.

There is not only a gap in the number of heavy machine guns between the two sides, but also a certain gap in the persistence of firepower.

The firepower of the Seventh Battalion was suppressed, and the head of the Second Regiment of the Puppet Army showed a sneer on his face.

He began to organize his troops to launch a counterattack, and three infantry battalions rushed out.

Nine infantry companies advanced towards different areas. They moved quickly and came straight to the seventh battalion position.

Behind these puppet troops, there are Japanese tanks, and various heavy weapons of the puppet troops continue to provide them with cover.

After the infantry companies of the puppet army advance to a certain distance, they will quickly set up a series of 60MM mortars and directly launch shelling to cover the impact.

Originally, the Japanese army was suspicious of these puppet troops, and they did not dare to give them heavy weapons, fearing that these puppet troops would fight back.

However, the First Army of Jin Province was hit one after another and suffered heavy casualties. They mobilized fewer and fewer troops.

After all, all three of their divisions were deployed in southern Shanxi to deal with the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain.

After being hit several times, they decided to support the puppet army, so that the puppet army could cooperate with the Japanese army in attack operations.

This is not the first time that little devils have used such routines. Puppet troops can be found in large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Hankou that got up early.

In the beginning, the Japanese army mobilized the puppet Manchukuo troops outside the pass to assist in the war. In the later period, they recruited many puppet troops and directly let these puppet troops assist in the war on the spot.

The Second Regiment of the Puppet Army currently fighting with the Seventh Battalion belongs to the First Division of the Royal Association Army.

Their predecessor was the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. This unit was formed by the First Army drawing puppet troops from Jin Province, Hebei Province, Shandong Province and other regions.

These puppet troops all have a common feature, that is, they have combat experience and are hardcore traitors.

But even so, the little devil is still on guard against them.

Especially the First Division of the Huang Daofeng Imperial Army Army, they distributed a large number of heavy weapons captured by the Japanese army.

They have tens of thousands of troops, so if the troops counterattack the Japanese army, they will definitely deal a heavy blow to them.

Therefore, there are a large number of Japanese military advisers in the First Division of the Imperial Army Army.

These Japanese military advisers are served by Japanese military officers who were wounded and retired, and who made mistakes and entered the reserve service.

On the surface, they are assisting in training and commanding, but in fact they are fully responsible for the command of the puppet army.

Especially for heavy weapons units such as artillery battalions, the command power is entirely in the hands of Japanese military advisers.

The puppet army has good weapons and equipment, and they are commanded by Japanese military advisers, so their overall strength is not weak.

The Second Regiment of the Puppet Army began to take the initiative in combat, and they gradually advanced towards the Seventh Battalion.

The three infantry battalions faintly began to encircle Chu Yu's seventh battalion.

The Seventh Battalion stood firm on the spot, and three infantry companies and one machine gun company cooperated with each other.

Battalion Commander Chu Yu did not panic at all, but commanded the troops calmly, asking each company to prepare for shooting.

"Kill it!"

"Hurry up and push forward, and the light machine gun is ready for cover."

Some of the Japanese advisers had drawn their sabers, and they were waving and shouting.

The puppet soldiers advanced quickly with rifles in hand, and some puppet soldiers were carrying big knives behind them.

The puppet battalion commander and company commander had grim expressions and excited eyes.

In their view, as long as their own troops charge past, they will definitely be able to take the position and completely annihilate this Jinsui army.

"Brothers, the teacher led us to win the battle before, and everyone got promoted and made a fortune."

"Now as long as we can take down this Jinsui Army, the Taijun will definitely reward you a lot when we go back."

"When the time comes, you will have whatever you want. Hurry up and kill this Jinsui army."

The officers of the puppet army shouted loudly and began to urge the puppet army to advance faster.

A large number of soldiers of the puppet army quickly moved forward. They used heavy weapons behind them to cover them without any worries.

It was only at this time that the Sun Yu machine gun battalion, which had been hiding all along, began to fire intensively.

Twelve 13MM heavy machine guns and twelve Type [-] light machine guns.

The dense bullets directly hit the Japanese and puppet troops covering the rear!

A round of 13MM caliber bullets hit the Japanese tank one after another, and the large caliber bullets began to penetrate the tank's armor-piercing.

The little devils inside were shot and killed by bullets one after another, and some tanks soon became silent.

The squadron leader of the Japanese lieutenant saw that some tanks were pierced and penetrated after he found out that the opponent was shooting. He widened his eyes and decisively issued an order to retreat.

Eight tanks quickly retreated, but twelve heavy machine guns continued to fire.

The twelve Type [-] light machine guns were used for precise burst firing. A famous shooter used a scope to lock on to the puppet artillery, and the machine gun shooter pulled the trigger one after another.

Bullets were fired one after another, and one puppet soldier was killed one after another, suppressing the firepower of the Seventh Battalion and stopping it instantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Seventh Battalion quickly launched a firepower counterattack.

The light machine guns and submachine guns of each squad fired continuously.

Rows of grenade launchers quickly fire grenades.

The heavy machine guns and mortars of the machine gun company directly launched fierce fire suppression.

The attacking force of the Second Regiment of the Puppet Army was hit by close-range firepower and suffered some casualties.

It is obviously not easy for these Japanese and puppet troops to get close to Kangjia Town.

The 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army in Kangjia Town continued to attack after the 12th Regiment prepared, and their casualties increased.

The commander of the puppet army kept sending messages to Kojima Shinxing and reported the situation here in detail.

Kojima Xinxing did not expect that the reinforcements he sent had not yet arrived in Kangjia Town.

However, the communication between them was smooth, Kojima Shinxing immediately sent a message to inquire.

When he knew that the troops returning to help Kangjia Town were blocked on the road, Xiaojima Xinxing hesitated for a while, and immediately made a decision.

The 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army in Kangjia Town quickly withdrew towards Qicun Town.

The Second Regiment of the Puppet Army and the First Squadron of Independent Tanks returning to Kangjia Town broke away from contact with the blocking forces, returned quickly, and joined forces with the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Xiao Dao Xinxing directly gave up Kangjia Town, and he wanted to command the troops with all his strength to attack the new second regiment, the independent regiment.

At this time, the first regiment of the puppet army, the artillery battalion of the puppet army, the first special operations brigade of the Japanese army, and the third squadron of the Japanese artillery under his command had made great progress.

八门晋造16式105MM山炮，八门晋造17式75MM山炮，四门九九式105MM山炮持续射击。

Among them, twelve large-caliber mountain guns still brought great pressure to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

The first regiment of the puppet army invested two infantry battalions, attached to a mountain artillery company with more than 1000 people for frontal attack.

The four infantry squadrons of the Japanese army attacked on the flanks under the cover of machine gun squadrons and artillery squadrons.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are under greater pressure, and their overall losses have been increasing.

Of course, there are not only Japanese and puppet troops commanded by Kojima Shinko on the battlefield at this time.

The secret service team commanded by Kazuki Yamamoto has also arrived on the battlefield.

An assault squadron, a machine gun squadron, a mortar squadron, and a rapid-fire gun squadron, more than 300 Japanese elites, paid close attention to the dynamics of the battlefield.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Weixin's Second Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment are mortal threats at this time.

Facing the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, they were under great pressure. Twenty artillery pieces suppressed them and could not fight back.

At this time, if the Yamamoto secret service team enters the battle quickly, it will definitely be able to disintegrate these two regiments in an instant.

Even with Kazuki Yamamoto's ability, it is possible to capture Ding Wei Kongjie and attack him.

It's just that the Yamamoto special team is still standing still at this time, and they quietly observe the battlefield situation.

They raided Kangjia Town before, and although they achieved results, they failed to deal with Chen Ziyun, Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong.

On the side of the military headquarters, they are somewhat dissatisfied.

Now after various intelligence analysis, the little devil has determined that Chen Ziyun and others may be here at the Huting stronghold.

The Yamamoto Secret Service has not taken action against the new second regiment, the independent regiment, because their target is Chen Ziyun and others.

They were determining the exact location of Chen Ziyun and others, and then quickly attacked and killed them directly.

After all, the observation team came here to watch the secret service team kill officers like Chen Ziyun, not to watch the special service team attack ordinary soldiers.

However, at [-]:[-], Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun began to command their subordinate troops to jointly fight.

The Zhangwu cavalry battalion began to quickly break through from the flanks, and the three cavalry companies advanced rapidly, while the machine gun company provided them with cover in the rear.

Chen Ziyun personally commanded six Bofors mountain guns, and four [-]-type mountain guns provided artillery support for them.

The new regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, was holding back from the front.

The Shao Zuo captain who commanded the operations at the Huting stronghold initially focused on the Xinyi regiment.

But after the cavalry battalion attacked, he immediately organized firepower to intercept it.

However, the ten mountain cannons fired quickly, suppressing the little devils' artillery and heavy weapons.

The machine gun company assembled four heavy machine guns, four 81MM mortars, and four 37MM flat-fire guns for cover.

The three cavalry companies advanced rapidly. After 5 minutes, they broke through the flanks and quickly advanced towards the dormitory of the Huting stronghold.

Seeing this scene, Captain Shao Zuo frowned tightly.

At this time, the main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops were gathered in the two defensive trenches, and the defense of the rear dormitory was very empty.

Once the cavalry battalion takes over the dormitory, it means that the Japanese and puppet troops will be cut off.

"Bagayalu, the cavalry unit of the Jinsui Army, why did they appear here?"

"Transfer to the flank immediately, gather all the troops, quickly move to the flank, and abandon the existing position."

In order to avoid being attacked from both front and back, leading to the annihilation of the entire army, the captain of Shao Zuo began to order the troops to abandon the Huting stronghold.

For more than 1000 days, the puppet army abandoned their positions and quickly moved to the flanks.

At [-]:[-], the Xinyi regiment and other troops captured the Huting stronghold!
