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

Yamamoto Kazuki had a helpless expression on his face. He never dreamed that Chen Ziyun's troops and Li Yunlong's troops would be so difficult to deal with.

The position was destroyed, and they fought on the ground!

When they run out of ammunition, they will engage in hand-to-hand combat at all costs, and even directly choose to die together.

The cavalry troops even frantically attacked the howitzer positions to reduce the pressure on the infantry defense.

Even though they were beaten to pieces by howitzers and no intact bodies could be left behind, they still had no fear at all.

"This is a very difficult force to defeat. They have such a strong will to fight."

"As you can imagine, their officers wore their military rank and fought on the front lines to boost morale."

"Almost all the cadres on Tubal Road rushed to the front line to fight, and they even took the lead in hand-to-hand combat."

"From 37 to now, they have lost many towns, but they have never surrendered."

"According to the initial judgment of the base camp, we can end the battle in three months."

"But now, it has been five years of fighting. They have tried their best to fight hard."

"I just can't imagine that they were completely disorganized before we launched full-scale operations."

"These people can be said to be the most outstanding soldiers!"

"I have to admit that Chen Ziyun has strong commanding ability. There is a big gap between us and him."

Yamamoto Kazuki came to the observation hole, he raised his telescope and looked into the distance.

Of course it was pitch black now and he couldn't see anything.

But thinking about the battles in the past few days, Yamamoto Kazuki even felt a sense of fear.

He couldn't imagine how the opposing troops could block the attack of his troops, and he couldn't even imagine what kind of troops could defeat them.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, shall we... stop fighting?"

"The 110th Wing is preparing to launch a night attack. They sent a message asking us if we want to join the war."

"The losses suffered by the 110th Wing were not small, but they still have to continue the attack."

"It's just that the enemy is obviously still capable of fighting, and our attacks may not be effective."

"And the howitzers have stopped shelling operations here, and they will not provide us with any support for the time being."

The team member looked at Yamamoto Kazuki in front of him and said with a solemn expression on his face.

Yamamoto Kazuki glanced at the map and took a deep breath.

After hesitating for a while, he directly issued the combat order.

The current combat strength of the special agent wing is only a few hundred people, and its overall strength has dropped a lot.

However, in order to unite the 110th Regiment to fight, Yamamoto Kazuki still mobilized troops to participate in the battle.

At midnight on May 110, the th Regiment and the Special Agent Regiment dispatched a total of more than a thousand people to launch an attack.

However, these troops were attacked by the Guard Group and the New Group, and the two sides fought fiercely until about three o'clock in the morning.

The little devils suffered more than 300 casualties. Seeing that they could never break through, they had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield.

As for the Little Japanese howitzer brigade, their twelve howitzers must be under intensive protection.

Therefore, these howitzers have not suffered any casualties so far, but they continue to support artillery fire and consume a lot of shells.

Although it was subsequently replenished, the howitzers were unwilling to continue shelling here.

The guard regiment and other troops no longer have any complete positions, and their forces are completely dispersed for defense.

For these howitzer units, it is obviously not cost-effective for an expensive grenade to kill only two or three soldiers and a light and heavy machine gun.

If they do this, they will definitely have no way to explain it to their superiors when they write a summary of the battle.

If the superiors knew that they dared to waste artillery shells like this, these artillerymen would naturally be punished.

The little devil is very concerned about ammunition, and he can't wait to kill someone with just one bullet.

What light and heavy machine guns are equipped with sights, submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, etc. will not be produced. The main reason is to save ammunition.

In fact, as early as 31, the Little Devils had developed related semi-automatic rifles based on Czech semi-automatic rifles seized outside the customs.

However, after discussions with the Japanese army, they believed that such a semi-automatic rifle was too wasteful of bullets, so they did not continue production.

Now these howitzer units obviously will not carry out shelling.

As for the 110th Wing, the special agent wing lost its howitzer support, and they became more passive in combat.

At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun also organized troops to fight back.

Zhang Wu's cavalry regiment also began to participate in the battle this time.

Two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment went out in full force, while the second artillery regiment provided artillery support.

The 18th Wing faced such a severe blow, and their casualties and losses continued to increase.

The fierce fighting lasted until six o'clock in the morning, when the Little Japanese bombers appeared over the battlefield, and the various ministries stopped fighting.

At this time, the 18th Regiment suffered another casualty loss after another attack, and their position was severely damaged.

Captain Matsutaro Tanabe of the Osaka Alliance also became very panicked, because he was vaguely aware that his alliance was at risk of being annihilated.

Under such circumstances, what he can do is naturally to send electricity again to contact the front army headquarters.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the 21st, here is the headquarters of the North China Front Army in Hebei Province.

After Okamura Neiji got the message, his face showed a solemn expression.

This was not the first time he had received a message from the 18th Wing, and the situation of the 18th Wing was beyond Neji Okamura's expectations.

He never thought that such an elite field unit would pay such heavy losses, and even be in danger of being annihilated.

"The 110th Regiment, Special Agent Regiment and other units continued to fight, but they also suffered a large number of casualties."

"The howitzer unit has not conducted shelling for the time being, because the enemy positions are relatively scattered, so the artillery unit has no shelling value."

"The morale of the special agent wing and other units has been greatly affected, and they may not be able to continue fighting."

"In addition, the 18th Wing is very short of supplies and is basically unable to sustain operations."

"The aviation force needs to be dispatched to airdrop supplies to them, otherwise they will not even be able to continue fighting."

"Your Excellency Commander, at present, we are fighting in the northern Henan region and have almost lost the initiative."

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

Okamura Neji looked at the map marking the northern Henan region and couldn't help but hold the baton tightly with both hands.

He had no idea that the battle here would turn out like this.

The 18th Regiment, which he had given high hopes to, is now in a very urgent situation, and they will suffer a devastating blow at any time.

This regiment is a unit of the Kwantung Army seconded by Okamura Ningji. If the entire army is wiped out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I really didn't expect that this Chen Ziyun would have such ability. He really deserves to be a victorious general." "We had an absolute advantage in the battle, but under his command, we became very passive in an instant, and even all the units were annihilated. Danger."

"Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team really disappoints me. Their combat effectiveness is not even as good as that of an independent mixed brigade."

"Get in touch with the 110th Regiment immediately and ask them to assemble the cavalry regiment and the Royal Association Cavalry Regiment."

"Also contact the aviation unit and ask them to immediately airdrop combat supplies to the 18th Wing."

"The 110th Wing, the special agent wing does not need to continue to break through, just let them contain the enemy troops in front of them."

"The cavalry troops must quickly move south, advance to the battlefield, and directly connect with the 18th Regiment."

Okamura Neji pointed at the map and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The nearby Chief of Staff Anda Twenty-san hurriedly agreed.

The 18th Regiment must not be annihilated, so Okamura Neiji directly dispatched cavalry troops south to support the operation.

The overall strength of this cavalry force is very strong, with more than a thousand cavalry from the Japs and more than 2,000 cavalry from the puppet army.

In addition to being equipped with cavalry weapons such as rifles, lances, sabers, and sabers, they also have a certain number of heavy weapons.

Fighting here in Jizhong, this cavalry unit has demonstrated strong combat capabilities.

Now Okamura Neiji has sent them to the battlefield in northern Henan, but he has a big conspiracy.

In his opinion, although the 18th Regiment and other units were hit, they suffered a certain degree of casualties.

However, Chen Ziyun's troops must have suffered heavy casualties. As long as more than 18 cavalry troops go south, they will definitely be able to establish contact with the th Regiment.

Even if these more than 3,000 troops can decisively carry out combat strikes, they can still cause casualties to Chen Ziyun's troops.

The Little Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters immediately issued an order, and all ministries were mobilized quickly.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the cavalry troops completed their assembly in Jizhong, and then quickly moved south along the Ping-Han Railway.

As for the 110th Wing, the special agent wing stopped its attack operations. They mainly carried out containment to prevent the guard regiment and other troops from participating in the attack on the 18th Wing.

There was a brief silence during the fighting in the northern Henan region, and the large-scale fighting between the two sides gradually stopped.

Chen Ziyun also made timely adjustments according to the battlefield situation, and he began to go to various ministries to check their situation in detail.

For Chen Ziyun, he needs to understand the situation of each department in detail in order to make more accurate deployment arrangements.

The 18th Infantry Regiment currently has less than combat troops left, and Chen Ziyun is ready to completely annihilate them.

Of course, even if they cannot be annihilated, they will completely lose their combat effectiveness.

Chen Ziyun will definitely give these elite little devils a hard blow.

"Commander Chen, when will we attack across the board and completely annihilate this little Japanese army?"

"We have been harassing and fighting repeatedly in the past few days, but the brothers have never had enough fighting."

"It would be great if we could attack across the board and completely annihilate them."

When Chen Ziyun arrived at the headquarters of the First Brigade, Li Chongtao came to Chen Ziyun and asked.

The first brigade still has its main force, and they can still continue to carry out offensive operations.

These few times Chen Ziyun directed the troops to attack, he did not ask them to attack with all their strength. These troops had reservations.

The first brigade troops are responsible for the absolute main force in encircling and annihilating the 18th Regiment, and they must maintain a certain strength.

However, Li Chongtao and others can't wait, especially since the 18th Alliance is currently very passive.

"You will definitely be the main attacker in the next battle. Don't be anxious. You will have time to perform your best."

"What's the situation with the 358th Regiment and the 601st Regiment? Where are Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yuzhen?"

Chen Ziyun inquired, and not long after, the two group leaders arrived.

These two regiments still have more than 5,000 troops, and their losses are not too great.

The mountain artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters can launch artillery support operations at any time.

Chen Ziyun learned about the situation of the two regiments in detail here and asked them to prepare.

At noon, the Little Japanese Air Force began to airdrop supplies to the 18th Wing.

However, Chen Ziyun decisively organized the anti-aircraft machine gun companies of the heavy weapons battalions of each regiment to launch anti-aircraft fire, thus preventing the Little Japanese aircraft from lowering their altitude.

The Little Japanese plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire, so naturally it did not dare to continue lowering its altitude.

They can only throw at high altitude, but they cannot throw accurately.

A lot of supplies were thrown into other areas, but not a lot of supplies fell on the Japs position.

Matsutaro Tanabe discovered this and hurriedly dispatched troops to seize these supplies.

But Chen Ziyun did not give him this chance. Chen Ziyun immediately arranged artillery bombardment.

At the same time, the First Brigade quickly dispatched troops to snatch the little Japanese's combat supplies.

At this time, here in Jincheng, Chu Yunfei, the current commander of the 201st Division, and Fang Ligong, the chief of staff, are both here.

As the battle continues, the First Army of the Little Devils continues to organize troops to attack, and both Yangcheng and Jincheng are under threat.

The guerrilla brigade also mobilized the third guerrilla regiment and quickly moved towards the highlands to provide support to cooperate with Ding Wei's detachment in intercepting.

But here in Yangcheng, there is almost no complete position.

The 37th Division continued its attack and continued fierce battles with the troops here.

The 606th Regiment, the 607th Regiment, the First Artillery Regiment, the Heavy Artillery Battalion and other units suffered certain casualties.

Even the field supplementary regiment that subsequently joined the battle suffered more than 500 casualties at this time.

It's very dangerous here, and the position may be breached at any time.

"Master, this is the urgent information we just received."

"The troops conducting mopping up operations in central Hebei Province began to gather and moved south along the Ping-Han Railway."

"This unit is a cavalry unit. They are very fast. According to intelligence, there are at least three thousand people in this unit."

"If these cavalry troops go to the battlefield in northern Henan, the consequences will be disastrous."

"The northern Henan area is very suitable for cavalry troops to fight, and all units of the first brigade have suffered a certain degree of casualties."

"Master, at this time... we should consider contacting Commander Chen and withdrawing his troops."

"In this attack, we still achieved results."

"Now we can retreat to the Shanyang City area and ensure control over this place."

"As for other operations, let's stop them for the time being, otherwise we will definitely pay heavy losses."

Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei with a solemn face. He took the telegram and reported directly.

After Chu Yunfei heard the report, he took the telegram and checked it. He couldn't help but frown, with a serious expression on his face. (End of chapter)
