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

Chapter 268 The hornet's nest

Hattori Naotomi showed a solemn expression on his face. He did not expect to encounter an attack within the range of Yuanping Castle controlled by the independent third brigade.

However, he reacted quickly and hurried to the truck.

A large number of officers of the field observation group also began to board the car one after another, preparing to quickly withdraw to the county seat.

However, at this time, the cavalry battalion quickly moved to their side and started operations.

The machine gun company moved quickly, and the flat guns pulled by the horses, the mortars carried by the horses, and the heavy machine guns were quickly moved down.

The artillery immediately built a position, and the heavy machine gun was set up immediately.

Zhang Wu commanded two cavalry companies to launch combat operations directly to quickly clear the nearby little devils.

The third company of the cavalry, and the reconnaissance platoon of the cavalry is an in-situ guard machine gun company.

At this time, the last truck had already turned around, and the little devil's driver stepped up the accelerator and drove towards the county at high speed.

However, the two 37MM flat-fire guns quickly aimed, and an armor-piercing explosive shell was fired.

With the sound of a huge explosion, the truck was destroyed on the spot.

Several little devil lieutenants got out of the car with faces full of pain, and they hadn't had time to react.

A round of bullets was fired, and Lieutenant Lieutenant was killed on the spot.

The little devil who originally planned to evacuate found that artillery had been deployed behind him to intercept him.

They stopped quickly, and the major of the independent and mixed third brigade quickly assembled troops to protect the safety of the field observation group.

Hundreds of little devil officers also began to get out of the car. They used the truck as a cover and took out their southern pistols.

Naotomi Hattori was immediately protected, and the little devil's troops began to stand still.

The communications soldier quickly contacted the brigade headquarters and reported the situation here in detail.

At this time, Wang Chengzhu's artillery company had advanced to the designated position.

Four Japanese 75MM mountain guns launched shelling one after another.

At the same time, the two 81MM mortars of the machine gun company of the cavalry battalion were also shelling.

The guard company troops, who had the commanding heights, began to concentrate light and heavy machine guns, and fired grenades.

Dense bullets hit the little devil one after another, and many little devils were shot and killed on the spot.

The little devil's troops suffered heavy casualties, and at this time they were facing different firepower attacks from all around.

After Zhang Dabiao commanded the first battalion to attack quickly, the little devil had no ability to parry.

At four o'clock, the cavalry battalion blocked from the north, and the guard company occupied the commanding heights on the east side.

The first battalion attacked from the west, while the mountain artillery company launched shelling from the south.

Chen Ziyun personally commanded Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon, and quickly advanced towards the field observation group.

Li Yunlong even carried a big knife, leading Zhang Dabiao's first battalion to quickly advance the attack.

It was at this time that the various departments of the Japanese army gradually received news.

In the Headquarters of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade, Major General Shigeharu Liuxia, head of the brigade, was shocked to know that the field observation group had been hit.

"What? The battlefield observation group was attacked by a large number of troops from the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army."

"Baga, Lu, we... We were completely deceived by them. They advanced to Yuanping City to attack the battlefield observation group."

"Assemble all the troops in the county immediately, and rush to the battlefield to support them!"

"The Sixth and Seventh Independent Infantry Battalions, which are fighting continuously at the Huting stronghold, let them stop fighting and go all out to help."

"No matter how many casualties the whole brigade pays, it must ensure the absolute safety of the battlefield observation group."

Shigeharu Liuxia had a solemn expression on his face, and he hurriedly issued a combat order.

After receiving Shigeharu Liuxia's combat order, the communications soldiers immediately began to communicate.

More than 800 little devils gathered here in the county seat, and Shigeharu Liuxia personally commanded them to quickly advance to the battlefield for support.

Here at the Huting stronghold, the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment has quickly broken out, and the [-]-day Puppet Army also suffered casualties.

The two major captains were about to order the troops to clean up the battlefield and collect the trophies, so as to claim credit for the brigade headquarters.

However, following the order from the brigade and regiment headquarters, the two major captains knew that the field observation group was under attack.

They did not dare to delay in the slightest, commanded troops to assemble quickly, and the puppet troops for more than 2000 days quickly marched towards the battlefield.

At this time, Kazuki Yamamoto didn't know what happened.

He is preparing to direct the troops to attack Xiying Village and Baijia Village, thereby attacking the main force of the independent detachment and attracting Li Yunlong and other troops to return for help.

When they saw that the troops of the third independent mixed brigade didn't even clean the battlefield, they withdrew towards Yuanping City at full speed.

Kazuki Yamamoto showed a thoughtful expression on his face, but soon, he realized that something was wrong.

"Ba Ga, the road, the battlefield observation team may be in danger!"

"The idiots of the Independent Mixed Third Brigade, they will pay for their selfishness."

"Li Yunlong's troops and Chen Ziyun's troops may have discovered the field observation group and launched an attack directly."

"If they had stayed in place before, the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army would never have had such a chance."

"Even if they withdraw quickly after receiving the order from the military headquarters, such a situation will not occur."

Kazuki Yamamoto quickly analyzed that the field observation team may have encountered a blow.

With a serious expression on his face, he couldn't help yelling at the independent third brigade.

Indeed, if these troops stayed put, it would be difficult for the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun to infiltrate easily.

Shigeharu Liuxia wanted too much to gain his own military exploits, which caused the field observation group to encounter a blow.

He also knew that it was his own fault, so now he commanded the independent and mixed third brigade, and went all out to support the field observation group.

Kazuki Yamamoto glanced in the direction of Yuan Pingcheng, then looked in the direction of Xiying Village and Baijia Village.

Now he has two choices, quickly rush to help the field observation group, or directly push forward and attack the independent detachment with all his strength.

Kazuki Yamamoto's gaze finally locked on the main force of the independent detachment.

He began to issue orders, and the Yamamoto Special Forces attacked westward with all their strength, attacking the new second regiment, the independent regiment.

Yamamoto's secret service team did not rush to help the field observation team to fight. He was going to cooperate with Xiaojima Xinxing's troops to encircle and wipe out the main force of the independent detachment.

However, the new second regiment, the independent regiment and other troops have been strengthened at present, and it is more difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to quickly wipe them out.

What's more, the field observation team was in a hurry. After the First Army Command received the report, they were very nervous.

The field observation group was formed by the North China Front Army Command, and it was specially here to observe the operations of the First Army.

If this force suffers casualties, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shinozuka Yoshio decisively issued an order, asking Kojima Shinxing to command the troops to quickly bypass the independent detachment and go all out to support the field observation group.

As for the Yamamoto Secret Service, Yoshio Shinozuka had already ordered that no matter what happens, they must carry out their established goals.

At four o'clock, Xiaojima Xinxing commanded six tanks, the first special operations brigade, and the third artillery squadron quickly left the battlefield.

They advanced directly to the Tongpu Railway, and then quickly followed the railway to support the battlefield.

The First Regiment of the Imperial Association Army, the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army, and the Artillery Battalion of the Imperial Association Army stayed on the battlefield to continue fighting.

After Kazuki Yamamoto learned about the situation here, he quickly established contact with the Imperial Association Army and cooperated with them to attack.

Fierce battles continued in Baijia Village and other areas, and the deafening gunshots continued to ring out.

At this time, in Yuanping City, the battlefield observation group is here.

A large number of troops have completely surrounded the little devil, and hundreds of little devil officers and soldiers gathered together.

The little devil soldiers installed bayonets on their rifles, while the officers directly drew out their sabers.

"His Excellency Naotomi Hattori, Major General of the Imperial Army, invites the troops of the Eighth Route Army and Jinsui Army to fight!"

"After His Excellency Hattori Naotomi came to Jin Province, I heard that the Eighth Route Independent Detachment of Jin Province, the 48th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army is particularly elite."

"Your Ministry has successively achieved victories in the Jin Province battlefield, and three generals of the Imperial Army have been killed one after another."

"Your Excellency Naoto Hattori is unwilling to die under the guns. He is willing to fight against the captain of the Eighth Route Li Yunlong, the brigade commander Chu Yunfei of the Jinsui Army, and the regiment commander Chen Ziyun!"

"If you are true warriors, please accept our general's invitation to fight."

"We are willing to fight with you one-on-one until all of you die in battle!"

"Of course, if you don't have the guts to accept our challenge, then we won't make any resistance and let you shoot."

"Brigade Commander Chu Yunfei, Commander Chen Ziyun, and your principal should have told you what choices a real soldier would make."

"Our Lord General also firmly believes that you are real soldiers and will definitely accept our challenge!"

At this time, a little devil lieutenant walked out, and he shouted loudly towards the surroundings.

Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon has already set up all kinds of weapons, just waiting to fire.

Hearing what the little devil said, Monk Wei was a little impatient.

"Don't shoot!"

"Hey, little devil, who the hell do you look down on, isn't it just one-on-one."

"Come on, come on, if you ask Gou Ri's Naoko Hattori to come over, I will cut off his head."

At this time, Li Yunlong walked out directly with a big knife in his hand, and he shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.

Chen Ziyun frowned slightly, he didn't know that it was the little devil who was delaying time.

According to what he meant, a shuttle of bullets would directly end the battle.

But Li Yunlong obviously wouldn't do this, so he could only come out.

At the same time, he immediately made arrangements for the cavalry battalion to block the Japanese reinforcements on the north side.

The guard company was attached to the new mountain artillery company to block the Japanese reinforcements on the south side.

The first battalion of the new regiment, the 358th regiment directly under the reconnaissance platoon, is fully targeting the field observation group and launching an annihilation operation against them.

After all this was arranged, Chen Ziyun looked towards the little devil.

Fight one-on-one, and when all the little devils are solved, a large number of Japanese reinforcements will definitely come.

At that time, even if these troops were able to break out of the siege, there would definitely be certain casualties.

Li Yunlong wanted to deal with the little devil in hand-to-hand combat, but Chen Ziyun would not refuse.

But he doesn't have time for one-on-one. If he wants to go, he will go all-in and start a large-scale hand-to-hand battle.

Or, even if it made Li Yunlong unhappy, Chen Ziyun would have to deal with all the little devils at once.

"Little devil, don't talk nonsense, isn't it just hand-to-hand combat?"

"How many of you, how many of us, don't say we bully you."

"Don't try to waste time. Even if the First Army pulls the three security divisions over today, it won't be able to save you."

Chen Ziyun looked at the little devil and said indifferently.

Zhang Dabiao and the others quickly drew out their swords, and looked at the little devil.

Naotomi Hattori looked at Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun coldly. He knew that these two must be the commanders of the other party.

Moreover, he could guess their identities intuitively. At this moment, Naotomi Hattori was inevitably a little cautious.

He glanced at the nearby officers, and the two officers quietly touched the grenades they were carrying.

It's just that the two officers just touched the grenade, and the sniper of the reconnaissance platoon quickly pulled the trigger.

The Type [-] sniper rifle fired bullets directly, and the bullets instantly penetrated the heads of the two officers.

The so-called [-]-style sniper rifle is actually a sniper rifle that chooses the best quality [-]-style rifle and installs a scope.

So these two bullets had a strong penetrating power, enough to cause casualties to four or five little devils.

The little devils and others responded, and some little devils quickly pulled the bolt.

Some officers even took out southern pistols, but their speed was far behind the reconnaissance platoon.

A Jin-made shell gun fired directly, and the bullets came quickly.

At one time, there were more than 30 Japanese military officers, and the soldiers were directly shot to death.

The remaining dozens of officers calmed down in an instant, and they did not dare to take any action.

Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong glanced at each other, they didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly attacked the little devil.

Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers of the Broadsword Squad, brandishing the swords and slashing at the little devil.

The four reconnaissance squads of the reconnaissance platoon did not carry out any actions. They held weapons and watched the little devil closely.

As long as any little devil has other ideas, they will not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Monk Wei directly joined the hand-to-hand combat with a spear in his hand.

He quickly approached Chen Ziyun and personally protected Chen Ziyun's safety.

It's just that Chen Ziyun has the martial arts skills provided by the system, so he has no problem dealing with ordinary little devils.

A number of little devils began to fall to the ground, and many little devils had their heads cut off.

Naotomi Hattori held a saber and knocked down a member of the broadsword team to the ground.

He has certain strength, but Monk Wei rushed over when he saw this scene.

The red tassel of the long spear kept waving, and Naotomi Hattori was unable to parry, and there were several wounds on his body that kept bleeding.

The two little devil officers saw that Monk Wei was powerful, and they wanted to take out their pistols.

But the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon in the distance quickly pulled the trigger.

The Jin-made pistol started firing, and the two little devil officers instantly fell into a pool of blood.

Not long after, bombers came over the battlefield.

But when they saw hand-to-hand combat on the ground, there was no way to bomb.

These bombers can only leave quickly and go to bomb other areas.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually became dark.

At around five o'clock, gunfire rang out one after another from the north and south sides.

At this time, the little devil, Major General Hattori Naotomi, had already turned into a cold corpse.

As for the little devils who can continue to fight, they are completely gone.

The troops quickly swept the battlefield, and then quickly evacuated.

At six o'clock, the capital of Jin Province, the headquarters of the First Army is here.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka stood in front of the map, anxiously waiting for the report from the front line.

Major General Hanaya, the chief of staff, walked over with a serious face. After saluting, he did not report, but handed a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio.

When Shinozuka Yoshio read the content of the telegram, his body couldn't help shaking several times, with a serious expression on his face.

"The battlefield observation group...all the jade is broken..."

"Bagaya Road!"

"Yagashita Shigeharu, that idiot!"

"Immediately order the troops to assemble quickly!"

"The third independent mixed brigade is assembled in the Huting stronghold area!"

"Special garrison troops, troops from the Imperial Association Army are assembled in Hesuo Town and Qicun Town!"

"The Yamamoto special team is assigned to fight, contact all aviation units, and prepare for the attack."

"At the same time, report to the Front Army Command and request the Front Army to give combat guidance."

Shinozuka Yoshio's face was gloomy, and he started to roar angrily.

The Independent Mixed Third Brigade mobilized more than [-] troops, and they abandoned many occupied areas.

More than 1 troops, including the Xin County Special Defense Team, the First Division of the Imperial Army Army, and the Seventh Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, assembled in Hesuo Town and Qicun Town.

They were ready to attack, and at this time Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun's troops retreated to the highlands west of Xin County one after another.

However, although the Japanese and puppet troops have withdrawn one after another here, they are gathering on the periphery and preparing for a full-scale attack.

Moreover, after this battle, the independent detachment and other troops suffered relatively large casualties.

The most important point is that the consequences of annihilating the field observation group and killing hundreds of little devil officers can be imagined.

The independent detachment and the independent 48th brigade contacted the above one after another to report.

As for the system, the rewards for Chen Ziyun have also been distributed.

This time the system rewards did not have any weapons and equipment rewards, but there were a certain number of gold bars and ocean rewards.

These things are easier to carry, and Chen Ziyun directly handed them over to the cavalry battalion.

In addition to the gold bars, the system once again rewarded the right to use drones three times.

Chen Ziyun only used the right to use the drone three times before, and it was when dealing with the Takeshita detachment.

Up to now, Chen Ziyun has the right to use drones five times.

In addition, Chen Ziyun's related skills have been greatly improved, such as infantry and cavalry command skills.

Shooting skills, martial arts skills, etc., have all been improved.

Because the two missions of destroying the Huting stronghold and annihilating the field observation group were completed this time, there are a lot of rewards in the system, and Chen Ziyun is dazzled!

By two o'clock in the morning on the 27th, Chen Ziyun had returned to Jingle City.

At the same time, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei also rushed here, and the three met again.

It was at this time that, in Hebei Province, the North China Front Army, directly under the 27th Division, began to mobilize urgently.

The 27th Division is currently in the Jincheng area and is responsible for the defense here.

However, their defense was taken over by other troops, and the 27th Division assembled urgently and quickly went to the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

From here, they will go south along the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, and after reaching the Jizhong area, they will take a short rest in the Zhengding area.

Then they will advance directly to Jin Province along the Zhengtai Railway!
