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

The Fourth Battalion of the 601st Regiment suffered heavy casualties. The officers and soldiers planned to temporarily abandon their positions and then retire.

The major battalion commander immediately sent a messenger to ask for instructions from Chu Yu, the leader of the guard regiment who was responsible for unified command of the operation.

But Chu Yu was resolute, and he would never allow the fourth battalion to evacuate the position directly.

The messenger glanced at Chu Yu sadly, gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement, and then quickly returned to the fourth battalion's position.

"First battalion commander, dispatch two companies to rush over from the flank."

"Be careful, you need to spread out and approach the little devil, and use your weapon advantage to attack the little devil."

"We must not advance in a concentrated manner. The Japanese howitzers are very powerful. If we attack them, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"In addition, two elite infantry squads will be deployed to gradually search for the defense situation of the Little Japanese howitzer position."

"Signal Corps, contact the cavalry battalion of the new regiment and ask them to remain on standby and not to attack without authorization."

Chu Yu had a serious expression on his face and directly issued the combat order.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the first battalion of the Guard Regiment deployed the first company, and the second company gradually advanced from the flank.

These two companies were completely united as squads and quickly advanced towards the little Japanese troops.

There are four battalions under the Guard Regiment, including two infantry battalions, one machine gun battalion, and one combat defense artillery battalion.

Currently, of the two infantry battalions, one is staying in Shanyang City for defense, while the other is commanded by Chu Yu and has come to the battlefield to participate in the battle.

The infantry battalions under the guard regiment are elite troops armed to the teeth. They have strong combat effectiveness.

Although the two companies only have more than 400 people, they are well-equipped with weapons and equipment and have strong combat effectiveness.

The two companies gradually approached the Jaap troops, and the machine gun platoons directly under the two companies began to set up positions at different locations.

Each company of the guard regiment has about two hundred troops, with three infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon under it.

Each gun platoon is equipped with three MG13 general-purpose machine guns and three 60MM mortars.

The general-purpose machine guns they are equipped with are the same as those of the Little Devils agent unit. Of course, the Little Devils also captured the direct troops.

As for the general-purpose machine guns of the Guard Corps, Chen Ziyun spent a lot of money to buy them.

As the company commander gave the firing order, the two machine gun platoons began firing.

Six general-purpose machine guns launched burst fire, and six 60MM mortars carried out shelling one after another.

Bullets and grenades were accurately fired at the Japs troops, and soon twenty or thirty Japs fell directly into a pool of blood.

The first brigade of the 110th Infantry Regiment has almost advanced to the fourth battalion position and is about to break through its position.

However, two companies of the first battalion of the Guard Regiment appeared on the flanks. Just the firing of two machine gun platoons posed a greater threat to them.

The little Japs who were advancing towards the position quickly hid, and the Major Captain who was directing the battle immediately raised his binoculars to check.

When he saw the flanking firepower, the major captain showed an indifferent expression on his lips.

He felt that with such a large number of troops, they were simply seeking death in front of him.

"The artillery squadron, quickly launch fire, strike at the enemy's firepower points, and quickly destroy their firepower."

"The machine gun squadron continues to suppress the enemy's frontal positions, and the follow-up troops advance with all their strength to quickly eliminate the enemy's frontal positions."

The Japanese Army Major Commander decisively issued the order, but he did not contact the howitzer unit behind him.

In his opinion, to deal with the machine guns and mortars on the flanks, the artillery squadron directly under his own brigade can completely solve the problem.

The artillery squadron immediately took action, and the captain of the lieutenant squadron observed.

Two infantry guns and two rapid-fire guns turned their muzzles and were ready to fire.

But before the Little Japanese Artillery Squadron could start firing, dense bullets hit directly at the Little Japanese Artillery Squadron.

The Little Japanese Artillery Squadron was very close to the position, so Chu Yu naturally observed the detailed positions of the Little Japanese troops.

The first company specially deployed a platoon to advance here to attack the Little Japanese Artillery Squadron.

A platoon assembled three infantry squads to launch fire, and a grenade squad fired grenades one after another.

Three grenade launchers and three light machine guns fired first.

More than 20 soldiers advanced from different positions. After reaching the shooting range, the soldiers started shooting with Czech semi-automatic rifles.

For a moment, a dense barrage of bullets was fired at the little Japanese artillery. Many artillerymen were shot dead before they had a chance to fire.

The two infantry companies of the 110st Battalion of the Guard Regiment launched fire attacks from the flanks one after another, and the first battalion of the Japanese th Regiment was hit one after another.

It was obviously impossible for them to attack the Fourth Battalion's position with all their strength.

The Major Captain had an angry expression on his face, and he began to mobilize his troops to attack the flank.

The two infantry squadrons quickly advanced towards the flanks, but it was obviously impossible for them to annihilate the two companies.

For a time, in the area south of Makino City, troops from both sides launched attacks one after another, causing casualties on both sides.

However, as the First Battalion of the Guard Regiment joined the battle one after another, the casualties of the First Battalion of the Little Devils continued to increase.

At this time, they could no longer maintain a huge advantage over the fourth battalion. At twelve o'clock, the little Japanese were forced to retreat.

It was at this time that the two howitzers, which had not participated in the battle, began to advance to the artillery position.

Four 105MM howitzers, under the command of a lieutenant squadron leader, launched shelling one after another.

Artillery shells continued to hit the 4th Battalion's position and the 1st Battalion of Guards.

The Type 105 MM howitzer has a long range and great power, but it is very destructive.

By the time the Little Japanese artillery unit stopped firing, the Fourth Battalion had already suffered half its casualties.

Even the first guard battalion suffered casualties.

However, they tried their best to block the attack, but the Japanese troops were still unable to advance to the battlefield to support the 18th Regiment in the battle.

Li Chongtao's brigade and Li Yunlong's regiment launched an all-out attack on the 18th Regiment.

The 18th Regiment held on to its position, but their casualties continued to increase. At this time, including the heavy weapons troops attached to the North China Front, their combat strength was reduced to less than , and a large number of wounded troops could not receive effective treatment.

"Bagayalu, what on earth are these bastards from the 110th Wing doing? Why can't they rush over to help quickly?"

"The twelve howitzers of the 110th Division are already in Makino City. With the assistance of the howitzers, they can't get to the battlefield yet?"

"Based on the current situation, all the enemy's main forces are here, and the 110th Wing can break through quickly."

Inside the 18th Regiment Headquarters, Matsutaro Tanabe had a serious expression on his face, and he couldn't help but roar.

The little Japanese officers nearby hardly dared to breathe, and they were all frightened.

They were afraid that they would become Matsutaro Tanabe's punching bag, so they did not dare to say much.

"Contact the 110th Wing and ask them to dispatch troops to the battlefield quickly to support the operation."

"In addition, in my name, I will immediately contact the special agent team Yamamoto Kazuki Colonel and ask him to quickly command the troops to go south to join the war."

"As long as they push forward to the battlefield with all their strength at this time, we will definitely win."

"In addition, get in touch with the front army headquarters and explain the situation here in detail." Matsutaro Tanabe said with a serious expression on his face, and directly issued the order.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The nearby staff officer immediately agreed.

The communications troops did not dare to delay and quickly began to generate electricity.

At the headquarters of the North China Front in Hebei Province, General Commander Okamura Neiji stood in front of the map.

He looked at the Northern Henan region and frowned tightly.

At this time, after a series of analyses, the Little Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters quickly realized that the elite troops of the 201st Division had once again gathered here in the northern Henan region.

"Chen Ziyun must be conducting operations in the northern Henan region, and Li Yunlong's troops also participated in the battle."

"Only if they are personally commanding and coupled with such an elite force, can they pose a threat to the 18th Wing."

"A person like Matsutaro Tanabe, who is so arrogant, now has to send a message to ask for help. This shows how dangerous the situation of their troops is."

"Your Excellency, Commander, there are quite a few troops here in the northern Henan region, but now it seems there is still a lack of unified command."

"There are three colonel officers here. It is inevitable that they are not convinced by each other."

"I suggest that a general be immediately arranged to quickly go to the northern Henan region to unified command operations."

"The other 18th Regiment was heavily surrounded and annihilated by the enemy at this time, but they still caused certain losses to the enemy."

"If the 110th Regiment and the Special Agent Regiment mobilize troops to rush over at full speed, they can cooperate internally and externally to annihilate the enemy troops."

Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-three came to Okamura Neji and said with a serious expression on his face.

Okamura Neji showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and he glanced at the deputy chief of staff, Miyazaki Monday.

Obviously, Miyazaki Monday is the most suitable candidate.

Miyazaki served as the section chief of the first section of the 11th Army on Monday, and can be regarded as the old superior of Matsutaro Tanabe, captain of the 18th Regiment.

It is obviously the best choice for him to go to the northern Henan region to unified command the troops for operations.

But Okamura Neiji did not do this because he knew that if Miyazaki went to take command on Monday, the consequences would be disastrous if he were defeated.

Previously, Miyazaki commanded operations in southeastern Shanxi on Monday, but still lost the battle.

If he continues to lose the battle in the northern Henan region, Miyazaki will definitely be held accountable on Monday.

Okamura Neiji still hopes that Miyazaki can stay here on Monday to assist him in commanding.

Okamura Neji still fully agrees with Miyazaki's ability as a consultant.

"In my name, immediately send a message to the special agent wing and the two captains of the 110th Wing, asking them to immediately mobilize troops to support the operation."

"If they acted to protect themselves and delayed the fighter jets, they will be held accountable."

"This operation in the northern Henan region is very critical. Anyone who fails to cooperate in the operation will be severely punished."

Okamura Neji said with a serious expression on his face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The nearby communications staff immediately agreed.

"Miyazaki-kun, please arrange for the aviation force to dispatch no less than two squadrons to support operations in the northern Henan region."

"In addition, contact the 110th Division, 27th Division and other units and ask them to strengthen their raids in the central Hebei area."

After Okamura Neji was silent for a while, he gave the order again.

The North China Front Army Headquarters directly arranges aviation support for the northern Henan region to ensure that the battle here can be won.

At this time, in the area north of Makino City, the special agent team was in a defensive position.

More than 1,200 little devils are currently resting, while Yamamoto Kazuki is standing on the map, with a playful sneer gradually appearing on his face.

The special agent team has not been idle in the past few hours. Their main force is resting, but a large number of small units are constantly investigating the surrounding areas.

By now, the special agent team has basically figured out the situation nearby, and Yamamoto Kazuki is completely sure that there are not many troops nearby.

"They only have heavy weapons troops here, and some artillery, and almost no infantry."

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, judging from the current situation, if we conduct separate raids, we have a chance to quickly and completely annihilate them."

"The troops here have very sophisticated weapons. They must be the elite under Chen Ziyun."

"If we solve it, it will definitely have a major impact on the next battle."

"In this way, we can easily go south and directly assist the 18th Regiment in encircling and annihilating other enemy troops."

"The front army headquarters has sent a message requesting us to fully support the 18th Regiment in the operation."

"Based on the previous situation, the 18th Wing is still in great danger when fighting here."

A major stood in front of Yamamoto Kazuki and said with a serious expression on his face.

Yamamoto Kazuki took a deep breath, inevitably feeling a little nervous inside.

Because he couldn't tell where Chen Ziyun was.

If Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to encircle and annihilate the 18th Regiment, then Kazuki Yamamoto would be absolutely sure that he could quickly annihilate the nearby enemy troops.

But once Chen Ziyun was commanding the battle nearby, even if there were not many infantry troops nearby, Yamamoto Kazuki was not sure of victory.

Chen Ziyun is very good at making different arrangements according to different battlefield conditions, and Yamamoto Kazuki suffered a lot in this regard.

"These enemy heavy weapons still pose a great threat, and our troops have already suffered casualties."

"If we are hit again, once the combat strength drops sharply to less than a thousand people, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Immediately establish contact with the 18th Wing and inquire about their combat situation in detail."

"We must determine Chen Ziyun's location and then launch combat operations."

"In addition, based on the current situation, the enemy's combat troops in the northern Henan region are obviously located in the area north of Makino City and the northwest area of ​​​​Yuanyang City."

"Makino City is still very safe for the time being. The 110th Regiment and the Howitzer Battalion can quickly mobilize the main force to support the 18th Regiment."

Yamamoto Kazuki said slowly with a serious expression on his face.

The officers around him nodded when they heard these words.

The secret service team started generating electricity here, and they wanted to know where Chen Ziyun was directing the operations.

At this time, Chen Ziyun was naturally in the area north of Makino City, and he was personally commanding three battalions in combat.

However, Shi Peng's combat platoon also arrived here.

Chen Ziyun sent the combat platoon out and asked them to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the deployment of the Japanese troops.

"Commander Chen, the Japs are constantly conducting reconnaissance attacks, and our position has almost been exposed."

"And with the little devil's ability, I'm afraid we have figured out the specific strength and configuration of our troops."

Several battalion commanders stood beside Chen Ziyun, and they all reported.

The special agent team continued to conduct reconnaissance, and they were naturally aware of it. (End of chapter)
