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

"Colonel, we are not Chen Ziyun. This is a battlefield. We don't know how to show mercy."

"As long as you cooperate with us, we can ensure your safety and will not cause you any harm."

"But if you continue to fight against us, or even want to take extreme measures, then I cannot guarantee your absolute safety."

"I have great admiration for Mr. Chen Ziyun, so I am not willing to do anything."

"But when necessary, I have no choice, so I hope, Colonel, you can understand your current situation."

Yamamoto Kazuki saw Yan Yu looking at him coldly, he stood up and came to Yan Yu, saying with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Little devil, I admit that the Jinsui Army has been very passive in fighting for a period of time. You have not taken our Jinsui Army seriously."

"But we are very aware of what you are doing in Jin Province. Don't think that because I am a female, you will be afraid."

"From the moment I was captured by you, I have regarded myself as a dead person."

"Don't try to use me to blackmail anyone. If Chen Ziyun stops attacking and fighting for me, I will look down on him."

Yan Yu looked at Yamamoto Kazuki angrily and couldn't help but yelled loudly.

Yamamoto Kazuki frowned, with an unhappy expression on his face.

But before he could speak, a Japanese second lieutenant came into the room in a panic.

The second lieutenant saluted Yamamoto Kazuki, then glanced at Yan Yu beside him, showing some hesitation.

"Baga Yalu, if anything happens, please report it directly."

Yamamoto Kazuki looked at the second lieutenant in front of him with a cold face and said.

The Japanese second lieutenant showed some fear on his face and began to report in a panic.

"Your Excellency, Captain, there are a large number of people outside the city... outside the city..."

"The enemy...the enemy sent all the heads of our officers and soldiers outside the city."

"And these are all imperial warriors above rank and file. They..."

The second lieutenant said intermittently, with a panic look on his face.

Yamamoto Kazuki had an expression of astonishment on his face. He glanced at the second lieutenant viciously and walked out directly.

Naturally, Yan Yu couldn't understand the little devil's language, but seeing Yamamoto Kazuki's angry look, she smiled.

She could imagine that Chen Ziyun must have launched a counterattack, so the little devil had such an expression.

Kazuki Yamamoto had already arrived at the city wall of Yanjin City, and he raised his telescope to check.

The heads of little devils were placed on the ground in the distance, and there were also the little devil's ID cards nearby.

A captain came to Yamamoto Kazuki with a letter. This letter was naturally written to him by Chen Ziyun.

Kazuki Yamamoto put down the telescope fiercely, and he opened the letter to check.

After reading the contents of the letter, Kazuki Yamamoto tore it into pieces on the spot.

"Bagayalu, Chen Ziyun is provoking us!"

"Does he really think that his troops can be invincible in the northern Henan region?"

"If Chen Ziyun commands the troops to attack, we will definitely make them pay heavy casualties or even annihilate them."

"Chen Ziyun also wants to annihilate the Muye City 18th Regiment and other troops. Even if they attack with all their strength, they may not be able to win!"

"And doesn't Chen Ziyun worry about Yan Yu's safety?"

Yamamoto Kazuki had an angry look on his face, and he said in a cold tone.

Originally, he thought that if he captured Yan Yu alive, he would be able to completely control Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun stopped attacking before, which made Yamamoto Kazuki full of confidence.

But now he asked Chen Ziyun to withdraw from Muye City with his troops, but Chen Ziyun did not agree.

Not only did Chen Ziyun continue to lead his troops in Makino City, he also gave himself a "return gift."

Looking at the head in the distance, Yamamoto Kazuki's face was full of murderous intent.

He clenched his hands into fists, took a deep breath, and returned directly to his wing headquarters.

When he came to the room, he glanced at Yan Yu and couldn't help but snorted.

He called the communications troops and continued to generate electricity for Chen Ziyun.

However, at this time, Chen Ziyun had already begun to organize his troops to continue the attack.

The 358th Regiment and the 601st Regiment continued the attack, while the Second Artillery Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Battalion provided fire support.

A large number of artillery shells were fired towards the Little Japanese position. The two regiments continued to organize their troops to attack and gradually moved forward, thus compressing the Little Japanese defense space.

As for the guard regiment, the cavalry regiment troops have been dispatched quickly, and they have begun to intercept the little Japanese reinforcements.

At this time, the North China Front Army of the Little Japanese Army deployed three brigades from Hebei Province and two brigades from the Northern Shandong region.

More than 6,000 troops from these five brigades rushed over quickly for reinforcements. Two brigades from the northern Lu region have already arrived in the northern henan region.

The three brigades here in Hebei Province also began to advance along the Ping-Han Railway.

Chen Ziyun has received the report and made arrangements in time.

The guard regiment and the cavalry regiment took the initiative to attack the three brigades that rushed over from the Pinghan-Hankou Railway.

At around 9 a.m., troops from both sides encountered each other in the Hecheng area.

The little Japanese troops were ambushed. The guard regiment directly launched a fire attack, while the cavalry regiment quickly attacked.

More than three thousand little Japs were completely unable to react and were directly hit. They were beaten so hard that they had almost no room to fight back.

The fierce fighting continued, and these more than 3,000 little Japanese were completely passively beaten.

The two guard battalions of the Guard Regiment, one machine gun battalion and one combat defense artillery battalion continued to provide fire suppression.

The cavalry regiment deployed three cavalry battalions to attack from different directions, and the casualties of the little Japanese troops continued to increase.

The fight lasted until about 10:30, and the little Japanese army suffered more than 400 casualties.

A lieutenant colonel who commanded the battle directly arranged for the troops to retreat after careful consideration.

By about eleven o'clock, this group of little devils withdrew from the battlefield from Crane City and were temporarily unable to advance towards Makino City.

After Chen Ziyun learned about the situation, he did not organize troops to pursue, but asked the cavalry regiment to stay in the Hecheng area to guard.

As for the guard regiment, they quickly retreated to Makino City to strengthen their attack here.

The battle at Makino Castle was still going on, but Chen Ziyun completely ignored the message sent by Kazuki Yamamoto.

He knew very well that the little devil had no credibility.

Even if they evacuate Makino City with their troops, they will not release Yan Yu.

For Yan Yu, Chen Ziyun could only rescue him instead of compromising with the little devil.

At 18: in the afternoon, in Makino City, the headquarters of the th Infantry Regiment was in the center.

Matsutaro Tanabe had a solemn expression on his face. He stood in front of the map and checked it repeatedly, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Now we have no way to break through at all. At present, we rely on street fighting for defense and can also block the attack of enemy troops."

"But once we leave the position and break out with all our strength toward the outside, we will definitely be hit hard by them, and may even be completely annihilated." "So currently we can only defend and wait for other reinforcements to arrive."

"Immediately contact the Front Army Headquarters, report the situation here in detail, and request the Front Army Headquarters to provide tactical guidance."

"In addition, contact various ministries and ask them to prepare to defend their positions. The existing positions must not be captured by the enemy."

After looking at the map and thinking for a long time, Matsutaro Tanabe had a serious expression on his face and immediately issued the order.

Until now, the various units of the Little Devils are under great pressure, and their combat strength is only about 3,000.

Many little Japanese believe that it is difficult to defend Makino Castle, and they advocate a quick withdrawal from the battlefield.

However, after repeated deductions, Matsutaro Tanabe believed that trying to break out might lead to the rapid annihilation of the troops.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​​​breaking out and fighting, but planned to hold on to Makino Castle with all his strength and wait for reinforcements.

Of course, he still doesn't know that more than 3,000 reinforcements from Hebei Province have been repulsed in Hecheng.

Chen Ziyun organized his troops to continue the attack. Starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, the guard regiment joined the battle again.

For a time, the casualties of various Japanese troops continued to increase, and their defensive positions continued to be compressed.

Here, Yamamoto Kazuki is constantly generating electricity and wants to use Yan Yu to force Chen Ziyun to stop fighting.

But Chen Ziyun ignored it and arranged his troops to continuously strengthen the attack.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun arranged for the guard group to attack, while the other units temporarily stopped attacking and quickly rested.

"Commander Chen, there is a message from the division headquarters. They hope that we can find a way to rescue Director Yan."

"Director Yan is currently here in Yanjin City. These are the messages sent by the little devil one after another."

"They asked us to immediately stop attacking Yanjin City, and so far they have made concessions."

"The little devil claimed that as long as we allow the Makino City troops to leave safely, then they will consider releasing Director Yan."

In Chen Ziyun's headquarters, an officer came to Chen Ziyun with a telegram and reported.

Chen Ziyun looked at the documents placed on the table with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In the end, he did not check these documents because he knew that these documents would definitely affect him.

Now Chen Ziyun's purpose is very clear, that is, no matter how many casualties he has to pay, he will completely encircle and annihilate the small Japanese troops in Muye City.

"Commander Chen, Captain Li Yunlong of the independent detachment is here."

At this time, a guard came to the room to report.

Chen Ziyun was still a little surprised when he heard that Li Yunlong came here.

He hurried out to greet him and soon met Li Yunlong face to face.

"Brother Ziyun, how is the battle here? Do you need our support?"

"I'm here with my troops this time. As long as you open your mouth, we can join the battle immediately."

"And the main force of our regiment is still in Yuanyang City, so we can also contain the Japanese troops in the Yanjin City area."

"By the way, Brother Ziyun, Director Yan of your Communications Department was captured by the Japs?"

"What's the situation now? If there's a need, your brother Ziyun has to speak up."

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him and said directly.

The Japanese and puppet troops currently restraining Yuanyang City have moved to Yanjin City, and Li Yunlong's troops are not subject to any restrictions.

He, Li Yunlong, was not someone who could sit idle. After much thought, he led two battalions of troops to Muye City.

Li Yunlong wanted to participate in the battle here in Makino City to annihilate the 18th Infantry Regiment.

"Brother Yunlong, now the main force of the Japs is gathering towards Yanjin City, and their strength is constantly increasing."

"Your main force must still be controlled in Yuanyang City, so that if the little devils in Yanjin City are mobilized, you can carry out supporting operations."

"As for fighting here in Makino City, leave it to us. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you, Brother Yunlong, down."

Chen Ziyun said directly to Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.

At this time, the Japs had indeed assembled more main forces in Yanjin City. There were more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops in Yanjin City.

Outside the city, the Japanese and puppet troops still had about three thousand cavalry troops.

Two brigades of Japs supported by the Lubei area also quickly came to Yanjin City to meet with the Japanese and puppet troops here.

Up to now, there are about 7,000 Japanese and puppet troops gathered here in Yanjin City, and they are still very strong.

In addition, there are more than 2,000 little Japanese troops in the area north of Hecheng.

With such a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, as long as they all advance to the battlefield, they will still have an advantage.

"Hehehe, brother Ziyun, don't worry. If the Japanese and puppet troops want to move out in Yanjin City, we will definitely do our best to contain them."

"However, the Japanese and puppet cavalry are very mobile. If they attack, it will be difficult for us to intercept them quickly."

"How about this? The first battalion of the cavalry battalion I brought here will stay here in Makino City to strengthen your combat strength."

"Otherwise, you will have to attack the Japs in Makino City and also block the Japs in the north. The pressure will still be great."

"These two battalions are left for you, so that in case of emergency, you will have a reserve team on hand."

"You also know that Sun Desheng and Zhang Dabiao are absolutely comfortable in commanding them."

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Ziyun and said with concern on his face.

Chen Ziyun thought carefully, did not refuse, and directly left the two battalions.

After all, Chen Ziyun also knew that if the Japanese and puppet cavalry troops rushed over with full strength, it would be difficult for the new regiment to intercept them.

At this time, the cavalry regiment must deal with the reinforcements of the Japs in the northern Hebei Province, and other troops must attack the Japs in Makino City with all their strength.

Chen Ziyun did not have many troops left to mobilize.

"In that case, I will stay with these two battalions."

"Brother Yunlong, thank you very much. Don't worry, we will definitely win the final victory in this battle."

"And judging from the current battlefield situation, we still have a great advantage."

Chen Ziyun looked at Li Yunlong and said with a serious expression on his face.

Li Yunlong nodded, and began to return to Yuanyang City without making any further stops.

As for Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion and Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, they stayed here in Muye City.

Chen Ziyun began to meet with Li Chongtao and other officers to explain in detail the next combat deployment.

At this time, the headquarters of the Young Japanese Agents Wing in Yanjin City is here.

Yamamoto Kazuki stood in front of the map with a solemn expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the front army headquarters sent a message requesting us to unify the command of all troops operating in the northern Henan region."

"Your Excellency, the Commander, requested that we rush to Makino Castle for reinforcements quickly to ensure the safety of the 18th Regiment and other units."

At this time, a communications soldier came to Yamamoto Kazuki and quickly saluted and reported. (End of chapter)
