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

The combat situation here in Yangcheng has been reported to all ministries, and almost everyone thinks that Yangcheng cannot be defended.

In this battle in Yangcheng, Chen Ziyun's undefeated record will definitely be shattered.

Kazuki Yamamoto and Nobuhiro Kojima, who were directing operations outside Yangcheng, had already advanced, and they were directing operations nearby.

The two people raised their telescopes and observed carefully, with proud expressions on their faces.

Capture Yangcheng, defeat the elite troops of the Jin-Sui Army, and perhaps even capture or kill Chen Ziyun.

Just thinking about such military exploits, these two people could not contain their excitement.

"Quickly pass through the outer positions and enter the city as quickly as possible for combat."

"Carry out all-out combat strikes and don't give the enemy any chance to readjust their deployment."

"Warriors of the empire, let these Jinsui troops see how strong we are and how weak they are."

"Chen Ziyun is known as the top leader of the Jin-Sui Army. We will capture him alive today!"

"If we can't capture Chen Ziyun alive, then we will kill him completely."

"No matter what, we must prevent Chen Ziyun from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

Kojima Nobuyoshi drew his saber, swung it vigorously, and roared loudly.

When the little devils from the Special Operations Wing heard these words, they all pushed towards Yangcheng like crazy, as if they had been given blood.

And here in the north of Yangcheng, Yamamoto Kazuki carefully observed the battlefield situation.

As the troops continued to advance towards the outer positions, he was also a little excited.

Just seeing a large number of his troops gradually gathering in the outer positions and beginning to gradually advance into the city, Yamamoto Kazuki suddenly became vigilant!
"No, it's completely wrong. This is not their defensive characteristic, nor is it Chen Ziyun's command style."

"Chen Ziyun has commanded the troops several times to achieve amazing results. Even if the outer positions are breached, he can quickly organize the troops to carry out gradual defense."

"But the situation is completely wrong now. They seem to have given up resistance completely. Are they going to concentrate their forces on defense in the city?"

"But after continuous bombing and shelling in the city, there was almost no complete position left, and they were unable to effectively carry out street fighting."

"If Chen Ziyun had not personally commanded the battle, these Jin-Sui troops would have quickly retreated and abandoned Yangcheng."

"However, now they are still defending Yangcheng. It is obvious that Chen Ziyun is commanding, but what tactics will Chen Ziyun use?"

Kazuki Yamamoto raised his telescope and observed carefully, his expression becoming more solemn.

He realized something was wrong, but before Yamamoto Kazuki could issue any combat orders, the sound of artillery started rumbling in Yangcheng.

The 54 65MM Schneider Mountain Cannons awarded to Chen Ziyun by the system have been deployed at different locations.

As other artillery regiments gradually transferred artillery, these mountain artillery now had enough artillery to control them.

Chen Ziyun personally issued the bombardment order, and Li Yang began to convey it.

For a time, one Schneider Mountain cannon launched a bombardment one after another.

This Schneider 65MM mountain gun was developed and produced by Gallic Chicken in 1906. It maintains the high rate of fire of the French rapid gun.

It can maintain a rate of fire of eighteen rounds per minute. Of course, with a skilled gun crew, it can fire at a rate of more than twenty rounds per minute.

Grenades were fired one after another, and the special operations wing and agent wing advancing towards Yangcheng were shelled one after another.

For a moment, the sound of artillery boomed, the sound of grenades exploding one after another, and the scorching air waves quickly spread towards the surroundings.

Countless shrapnel hit the little devil's body one after another, countless dust flew up, and the dark night was as bright as daylight.

The Japanese troops were heavily bombarded and they could no longer move forward. Many little Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces.

There were broken arms and limbs everywhere on the ground, and the injured little devils howled in pain.

"Bagaya Road, they...they have assembled so many mortars for shelling."

"This...this is at least dozens of 60MM mortars carrying out shelling."

"No, this is not a mortar, this is a mountain cannon, but not a 75MM mountain cannon..."

"Where on earth did they get such artillery? This...there are at least hundreds of mountain cannons firing."

The little devils on the front line took cover one after another, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Some officers were filled with shock, and some even had expressions of despair on their faces.

The Schneider 65MM mountain cannon has a super high rate of fire, and one cannon can fire two.

There was an ample supply of artillery shells at this time, and the artillerymen fired hundreds of rounds in the blink of an eye without any hesitation.

The 65MM caliber is naturally not too powerful, but with continuous shelling, a large number of shells are used to cover the shelling.

In addition, Yangcheng was repeatedly bombed and shelled, so naturally there were not enough shelter positions.

The casualties of the Special Operations Wing and the Agent Wing continued to increase, and many little devils were bombed without even leaving their intact bodies.

The First Division of the Imperial Association Army, which was attacking on the east side of Yangcheng, saw such a fierce shelling in Yangcheng.

The puppet commander Huang Daofeng's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"This...there are hundreds of artillery pieces. How can they have such a number of artillery pieces?"

"Quickly, withdraw quickly and withdraw the troops. If they shell towards us, these troops will be completely annihilated."

"Withdraw quickly and get out of the artillery strike range. These Jinsui troops have really strong firepower and sufficient artillery shells."

Huang Daofeng's body couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to delay at all and quickly withdrew his troops.

The puppet troops gave up the attack and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

One Schneider Mountain cannon continued to fire, and a large number of shells were fired at the Japanese army.

The shelling continued until after ten o'clock, and the artillery troops stopped firing.

At this time, the Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties, and Kojima Nobuhiro and Yamamoto Kazuki had almost no hesitation.

The two men issued the retreat order at the same time, and the Japanese troops began to disperse and evacuate toward the rear.

Some of their grenade launchers continuously fired smoke grenades to cover their retreat.

At this time, Li Yang, the leader of the mountain artillery regiment, began to command the 75MM mountain artillery, stationed to block the shooting, in order to kill the little Japanese troops.

As for the Schneider Mountain Cannons, they temporarily stopped firing.

It was not until around [-]:[-] that the Japanese troops completed their evacuation.

Kojima Nobuhiro and Yamamoto Kazuki gathered together, with solemn expressions on their faces.

"The total casualties of the special operations wing exceed 1000, and currently there are only more than 2000 combat troops."

"According to the analysis of our artillery officers, the Jinsui Army troops in Yangcheng are likely to be equipped with French 65MM Schneider mountain guns."

"And there are a lot of them, at least forty or fifty. I really didn't expect that they would have such a number of artillery pieces."

"They still have enough artillery shells. Judging from the current situation, Chen Ziyun must be commanding the battle in Yangcheng."

"That means our troops are relatively elite. Otherwise, the shelling just now may cause us heavy losses."

Kojima Nobuyoshi looked at Yamamoto Kazuki in front of him and said with a solemn expression on his face.This time the special operations wing suffered heavy losses, almost one-third of the casualties.

Such losses caused the special operations wing to lose a certain amount of attack power.

Naturally, Kojima Nobuki didn't have much confidence in the next battle.

Originally he thought this was a must-win situation, but now, Kojima Nobuki felt that it was almost impossible for them to win Yangcheng.

"Our special agent team also suffered close to 1000 casualties. Chen Ziyun is really cunning."

"There should not be enough infantry in Yangcheng, otherwise if they take the opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Captain Kojima, we should quickly report to the front army headquarters and explain the situation here in detail."

"There are enough enemy artillery units in Yangcheng at this time. As long as the aviation force launches carpet bombing again, it will definitely bring them a devastating blow."

"So I think we just need to monitor it and wait until dawn for the aviation force to launch bombing."

Yamamoto Kazuki had a serious expression on his face. He looked at Kojima Nobuhiro beside him and said directly.

When Kojima Nobuxing heard these words, he had a helpless expression on his face and could only nod in agreement.

However, at this moment, a communications soldier hurried over to report.

"Your Excellency, Captain, what's bad, all the enemy cavalry units are out to fight. They are directly attacking the Imperial Alliance Army east of Yangcheng."

"The artillery units in Yangcheng fully cooperated. The Imperial Association Army fell into passive combat and suffered heavy casualties."

"Commander Huang Daofeng sent an urgent message, hoping that we can rush to help quickly."

After the signal soldier arrived at the wing headquarters, he quickly saluted and reported.

Kojima Nobuhiro had a surprised expression on his face when he heard the report.

At this time, Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion and the third cavalry battalion commanded by Xie Yunxia had arrived near Yangcheng.

After getting in touch with Chen Ziyun, they received combat orders and directly launched a combat attack on the puppet troops on the east side.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun specially allocated fourteen 65MM Schneider mountain guns and assigned them to the cavalry troops for combat.

At this time, the 4000 troops dispatched by Huang Daofeng had already suffered about 1000 casualties.

Among the remaining 3000 troops, there are hundreds of artillery troops, and its infantry only has more than 2000 people.

More than 900 cavalry quickly launched a surprise attack, catching the puppet troops off guard.

Fourteen 65MM mountain guns launched a close range bombardment and suppressed the artillery fire.

Li Yang commanded 24 75MM mountain guns to conduct long-range bombardment and assist cavalry operations.

For a time, the puppet troops were plunged into a bitter battle, and their casualties continued to increase.

Huang Daofeng wanted to evacuate, but faced with the cavalry attack, he had no way to evacuate.

So he immediately sent a message requesting support from the Japanese troops.

But at this time, a major came quickly to Yamamoto Kazuki.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we are monitoring the Shanxi-Sui Army troops north of Yangcheng and have been attacked."

"Enemy forces started attacking our forces and there was a level of pressure on their side."

The major saluted Yamamoto Kazuki and reported quickly.

There is the 601st Regiment in the area north of Yangcheng, and the special agent team leaves 1000 people to monitor it.

At this time, Chen Ming contacted Li Chongtao, the commander of the First Brigade, and they began to launch combat operations.

Li Chongtao commanded the artillery battalion attached to the 601st Regiment to counterattack the special agent wing, and they stormed toward the west.

1000 Japanese troops were scattered around for defense and surveillance. At this time, the west side was hit hard, so it was naturally stressful.

After Yamamoto Kazuki heard the report, he and Kojima Nobuhiro looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Yamamoto Kazuki did not dare to delay at all, and he began to return to the army.

Now he is preparing to assemble 3000 troops from the special agent wing and launch an all-out combat strike, so as to find a way to encircle and annihilate the 601st Regiment.

Kojima Nobuki commanded more than 2000 troops to maintain a containment attack on Yangcheng to support the battle.

As for the Huangdaofeng puppet troops, they don't have any soldiers to support them.

Therefore, Kojima Nobuki hurriedly contacted Xu Chengpu, commander of the Second Division of the Royal Association Army in Jincheng, and asked him to mobilize troops to support the battle.

For a time, the Yangcheng area was filled with fierce gunfire and troops everywhere were engaged in fierce battles.

In Jincheng, here is the headquarters of the Second Division of the Imperial Association Army.

Xu Chengpu got the message from Kojima Nobuhiro, with a sneer on his face.

"Master, Taijun has lost the battle again. The special operations team and the special agent team are no match for Chen Ziyun."

"That means they quickly evacuated the battlefield. Otherwise, they might have suffered even more heavy losses."

"Even so, it is said that these two regiments suffered more than 2000 casualties."

"All kinds of news are being passed around now. It is said that hundreds of artillery pieces are deployed here in Yangcheng."

"This Chen Ziyun is the master of artillery. With him personally commanding, these hundreds of artillery pieces are so powerful."

"Not to mention the more than 1 puppet troops, even if there are [-] to [-] Taijun troops, they may not be opponents."

"As for supporting Huang Daofeng's troops in combat, I think we'd better not go."

"There are only more than 2000 troops here in Jincheng. If we leave here, Yangcheng will definitely be lost once it is attacked."

Several confidants stood beside Xu Chengpu, with serious expressions on their faces, and they all spoke out suggestions.

Xu Chengpu and Huang Daofeng had a lot of hatred, and he was definitely not willing to support Huang Daofeng in the battle.

But he also knew that if the little devil refused the order, he would definitely be punished.

"Support is still going to come, but the speed still depends on us."

"Deploy 1000 troops and gradually advance towards Yangcheng. Don't be anxious and keep in touch with Jincheng at any time."

"Even on the battlefield, do not provoke the Jinsui Army."

"Chen Ziyun is not someone to be trifled with. These 1000 troops are not enough for him to fill his teeth."

Xu Chengpu showed a serious expression on his face and gave the order directly.

The reinforcements here in Jincheng set off, but they took their time and were not in a hurry at all.

At midnight, Chen Ziyun made unified adjustments and arrangements.

Li Yang unified command of 24 75MM mountain guns and fourteen 65MM mountain guns for combat.

They mainly assist the cavalry troops in attacking the puppet troops with all their strength, thereby restraining them and preventing them from moving.

The new second regiment troops in the Zi JS area were urgently mobilized and quickly advanced towards the Yangcheng battlefield. (End of chapter)
