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

There is a mountain artillery regiment in Yangcheng, and the Japanese army is very aware of this.

Therefore, when attacking, both Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team and Kojima Nobuhiro's special operations team were very cautious.

They also adopted wave tactics to attack, but their infantry carried out combat attacks in units.

There will be enough distance between each detachment to ensure that they are not too crowded.

In addition, they deploy a large number of elite individual soldiers in a dispersed manner.

Light and heavy machine guns, grenadier infantry guns, snipers, etc. all operate individually.

Li Yang commanded the mountain artillery regiment to carry out shelling, and 24 75MM mountain guns carried out shelling.

A large number of grenades were fired at the little Jaap troops. With the sound of explosions, some little Japs were hit and suffered casualties.

However, these Japanese troops suffered few casualties, and they continued to maintain fire suppression on the position.

The first and second battalions of the 358th Regiment and the heavy weapons battalion are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength and weapons and equipment.

Especially the first battalion was completely unable to withstand the attack from the special agent team.

Even though the mountain artillery regiment carried out shelling, it was still unable to intercept the advance of the little Japanese troops.

The special agent wing and the special operations wing gradually attacked the position, and various bullets and artillery shells were fired one after another.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the 358th Regiment had more than 200 killed and nearly 300 wounded.

More than 500 casualties were lost, almost the combat strength of a battalion.

Under such circumstances, the group leader Wu Ziqiang looked solemn.

However, Chen Ziyun did not issue a retreat order, and he did not dare to rashly command the troops to abandon their positions.

Wu Ziqiang, who has followed Chen Ziyun for a while, knows very well that Chen Ziyun usually does not have any temper.

However, during the battle, Chen Ziyun was a completely different person. If he disobeyed his battle orders, the consequences would be serious.

Wu Ziqiang didn't even dare to think about it, let alone disobeying combat orders.

The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment fought desperately for defensive operations, but the Japanese troops continued to attack, and some positions gradually began to be breached.

"Contact the First Division of the Imperial Association Army and ask their troops to attack from the east."

"Tell Huang Daofeng that if he wants to take command personally, he must create enough pressure from the east side."

"If they fail to complete their combat mission, I will definitely punish them severely and I will never show mercy."

At nine o'clock, Nobuxing Kojima decisively issued the order.

There are more than 3000 puppet troops left, and they have secretly completed a detour to the east. They are waiting for follow-up combat orders.

At this time, Kojima Nobuhiro saw an opportunity and decisively issued a combat order.

At 3000:[-], more than [-] puppet troops launched a combat attack on the east side of Yangcheng.

The puppet army commander Huang Daofeng personally took command, and they quickly advanced towards Yangcheng.

The artillery troops also began to shell continuously to cover the advance of the puppet infantry.

Huang Daofeng led more than 100 people to supervise the battle from behind. He fired in the air from time to time to pressure the puppet troops to attack with all their strength.

The 358th Regiment was already under great pressure to deal with the attack by the Japanese troops.

At this time, puppet troops appeared from the east side, adding fuel to the fire.

Wu Ziqiang hurriedly contacted Chen Ziyun, and he transferred the third battalion of the reserve team to the east side for defense.

Chen Ziyun also contacted the mountain artillery regiment immediately and launched an all-out bombardment on the east side to suppress the puppet troops.

"Commander Li, the Schneider Mountain Artillery must be ready to fire, and don't be stingy with shells."

"The ones we're going to fight next are all elite Japs. Even if we kill two or three Japs with one shell, it's worth it."

"Everything is going according to plan. You will personally direct the artillery unit to fire."

At fifteen minutes, Chen Ziyun picked up the microphone and directly contacted Li Yang, the leader of the mountain artillery regiment.

"Commander Chen, don't worry, we have been prepared here for a long time."

"As long as the little devils come over, we will give them a good drink."

"As long as our artillery troops are here, the little devils can't even think of breaking through the Yangcheng position."

Li Yang had a serious expression on his face and answered directly.

Chen Ziyun was completely relieved when he heard this answer.

Then he started to contact Wu Ziqiang to get him ready.

Fierce gunfire continued, and the Japanese and puppet troops were besieged on three sides. They gradually approached the position.

The northern position in charge of the first battalion was almost completely broken through.

Some little devils from the special agent team have already captured some positions.

At 09:30, the North China Front Army Headquarters began to send telegrams asking about the fighting situation here in Yangcheng.

Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuhiro called back, saying that they would invade Yang City before midnight.

These two people were relatively conservative, because at this time, the little Japanese troops had gradually captured a large number of positions.

It is no exaggeration to say that now they can even report that they have invaded Yangcheng.

"At twelve o'clock at midnight, we must completely end the fighting here in Yangcheng."

"Even if we cannot annihilate all the Jinsui Army troops in Yangcheng, we must completely cripple them."

"One more thing, Chen Ziyun is very likely to be here in Yangcheng. You must search carefully."

"Try to capture Chen Ziyun alive. I want to see what is unusual about this Chen Ziyun."

Kojima Nobuhiro had a cold expression on his face and directly issued the combat order.

He was preparing to end the battle in Yangcheng before midnight.

If he reports to the front army headquarters like this, he will definitely leave the deepest impression on Neji Okamura.

As for Yamamoto Kazuki, he has already begun to form four assault teams.

About two hundred little Japs will break into Yangcheng and search for Chen Ziyun's whereabouts.

"Ignore the other Jinsui Army troops. It doesn't matter even if you let them all go."

"But we must find Chen Ziyun. If we can capture Chen Ziyun in this battle, it will be a great victory."

"Even if the main force of the Jinsui Army is released, whether Chen Ziyun is captured alive or killed, it is an absolute military achievement."

Yamamoto Kazuki set his target on Chen Ziyun, he wanted to find Chen Ziyun.

The Special Agent Wing and the Special Operations Wing continued their fierce attack. At 358:[-], the [-]th Regiment's position began to be breached.

The first and second battalions abandoned their positions and quickly moved towards the city.

After Kazuki Yamamoto and Nobuhiro Kojima received the report, they issued combat orders at the same time.

"The special operations wing quickly broke into the city to fight and quickly pursued the enemy without giving them a chance to adjust their deployment."

"Quickly pass through the outer positions, enter the city, and kill the enemy troops with all your strength so that they cannot re-defense."

"The artillery troops launched indiscriminate shelling into the city, disrupting their deployment of defense within the city."

Kojima Nobuki had a serious expression on his face and immediately issued a combat order.

And he himself quickly moved forward, intending to personally command the troops to fight.

"All launched a pursuit, quickly entered the city, and fully covered the operations of the four assault teams."

"Look for Chen Ziyun. No matter what, we must capture him alive. If we can't capture him alive, we will kill him."

"The focus of this battle is on Chen Ziyun. You can completely ignore the other enemy forces." Yamamoto Kazuki said with a serious expression on his face as he decisively issued the battle order.

For a moment, the agent wing and the special operations wing began to accelerate towards the city.

At this time, they were fully engaged in pursuit, and naturally they could not care about maintaining their formation.

Some teams, almost all gathered together.

After all, pursuit operations are completely different from attack operations. Pursuit operations focus on speed.

Only by quickly catching up with the opponent can you force the opponent to be unable to readjust the fighting state and quickly defeat the opponent.

A large number of Japanese troops quickly advanced towards Yangcheng. They wanted to enter Yangcheng in the shortest possible time.

As the peripheral positions on the west and north sides of Yangcheng were breached, the puppet army quickly received news.

These puppet troops knew that the Japs were about to enter the city to fight, so their morale was high and they began to advance faster.

Faced with the attack of so many puppet troops, the troops of the Third Battalion gradually felt the pressure.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the mountain artillery regiment, the puppet army was blocked in the eastern peripheral position.

At this time, in the area south of Yangcheng, the cavalry troops were stationed here.

Hundreds of cavalry troops from the New Regiment Cavalry Battalion and the Third Cavalry Battalion of the 201st Division Cavalry Regiment gathered together.

Xie Yunxia and Sun Desheng paid close attention to the Yangcheng battle, with nervous expressions on their faces.

"Deputy commander, it's bad, the Japanese troops have broken through the positions on the west and north sides of Yangcheng one after another."

"Now a large number of little Japs are chasing into Yangcheng, and the 358th Regiment seems to have been completely defeated."

"The puppet troops are still attacking on the east side, and Yangcheng may not be able to defend it."

Soon a cavalryman came to Xie Yunxia and hurriedly saluted and reported.

After hearing the news, Xie Yunxia showed a surprised expression on his face.

Without any hesitation, he quickly gathered his troops.

Soon Sun Desheng also got the news and hurriedly gathered his troops and prepared for battle.

Although the two cavalry battalions are both battalion-level organizations, their scales are completely different.

Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion only has more than 300 cavalry, but the third cavalry battalion commanded by Xie Yunxia is twice as many as them.

After some discussion between Xie Yunxia and Sun Desheng, the two hurriedly commanded the troops to advance toward Yangcheng for reinforcements.

"The Special Operations Wing and the Agent Wing have broken through the Yangcheng position and entered the city to fight."

"Warriors of the empire, there is an absolutely elite unit of the 201st Division of the Jinsui Army in Yangcheng. Chen Ziyun personally directs the defense."

"But under the attack of our two elite units, they were ultimately unable to defend Yangcheng."

"In this battle, Yangcheng will definitely be captured by us, and Chen Ziyun's life may not be saved."

"Launch the battle with all our strength to contain the enemy forces in Zhongtiao Mountain, and we must not let them rush to support Yangcheng."

"Kill it!"

News of the Yangcheng battle began to arrive, and more than 36 troops from the 41th Division and the [-]st Division conducted diversionary attacks in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

When the Japanese officers learned the news, they drew their sabers and waved them constantly.

Following their encouragement, a large number of little devils launched a night attack directly on Zhongtiao Mountain.

In the little devil's understanding, as long as he breaks through the outer positions of Yangcheng and invades the city, the battle is basically over.

In fact, this is also the defensive characteristic of the Jinsui Army and other troops. As long as they invade the city, there will be few troops engaging in street fighting.

Even if they engage in street fighting, they will not be able to mount an effective defense.

Therefore, as long as one invades the city, it is basically equivalent to capturing the town.

The little devils felt that they would definitely win the Yangcheng battle, and their morale began to rise.

"what?"

"What did you say, Lao Zhao, you are not mistaken."

"Brother Ziyun is personally taking command in Yangcheng. The 358th Regiment and the Mountain Artillery Regiment are both here."

"Who is Chen Ziyun? He is good at attacking and defending. With him in charge, can the little Japs invade Yangcheng?"

"This must be false news. The little devil is deliberately affecting our military morale."

In the Lishan area, Li Yunlong was commanding the new regiment's defensive operations. After hearing the news about Yangcheng, he stared with disbelief and said.

"Lao Li, how could I report this kind of thing casually?"

"The news is true. The cavalry battalion passed the news. They are now rushing towards Yangcheng for reinforcements."

"The two elite squadrons of the Little Devils have continued to attack. They have broken through the outer positions and are pursuing the city."

"There are still thousands of puppet troops attacking in the east. Yangcheng... I am afraid it cannot be saved."

Zhao Gang stood in front of Li Yunlong and said with a solemn expression on his face.

"This...it's impossible."

"Chen Ziyun is in Yangcheng, how could he not be able to defend Yangcheng."

"Young Japs are considered among the elite..."

"Find Zhang Dabiao immediately and ask him to command a reinforced battalion to rush over quickly for reinforcements."

"Even if Yangcheng cannot be defended, Chen Ziyun must be supported to break out."

Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and said with a solemn expression on his face.

Zhao Gang did not dare to delay and hurriedly arranged for the messenger to go find Zhang Dabiao.

Li Yunlong's face was solemn, looking in the direction of Yangcheng, with deep worry in his eyes.

At this time, at the headquarters of the 201st Division, Fang Ligong quickly came to Chu Yunfei.

But before he had time to report, Ouyang He, the director of the Communications Department, walked over quickly.

"The Japanese army broke through the outer positions of Yangcheng and have pursued them into the city."

"Now the little Japanese attacking Zhongtiao Mountain have high morale and continue to launch fierce attacks."

"Teacher, sir, is the news true?"

Ouyang He looked at Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong and asked hurriedly.

"The news is true. Director Ouyang, immediately contact Ziyun and ask him to command the troops to break out and withdraw them all back to Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Contact Wu Ziqiang and Li Yang, the two captains, and tell them that at all costs, we must ensure that Ziyun breaks out safely."

"Brother Li Gong, contact Zhang Wu quickly and ask him to command the cavalry regiment to advance towards Yangcheng quickly and support Ziyun in breaking out."

"Remember, no matter what, all departments must ensure Ziyun's absolute safety."

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath, looked at Fang Ligong and Ouyang He, and said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Master." Fang Ligong agreed immediately.

Ouyang He did not dare to delay and hurriedly arranged for the communication troops to generate electricity.

For a time, the atmosphere here at the 201st Division headquarters was solemn, and all the officers and soldiers who knew the news had expressions of disbelief.

After all, in their opinion, Chen Ziyun would never lose a battle.

However, now, in the Yangcheng battle, Chen Ziyun's undefeated record seemed to be broken. (End of chapter)
