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

Chen Ziyun personally commanded the main force of the guard regiment, the first artillery regiment, and the first guerrilla regiment to fight. They quickly advanced to fight near Shanyang City.

The three regiments launched a combat attack unexpectedly, and the Japanese and puppet cavalry troops were the first to be attacked.

A mountain cannon continued to bombard, and a large number of shells were fired at the cavalry troops.

The Second Battalion of the Guard Regiment, the Machine Gun Battalion, and the Combat Defense Artillery Battalion alternately provided cover and quickly advanced toward the cavalry.

Intensive firepower struck, and countless bullets and artillery shells were fired at the little Japanese troops one after another.

As the explosion sounded, shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.

Many Japanese and puppet cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, and their painful wails began to appear.

"On Bagaya Road, enemy troops appear on the rear side. Use all your strength to intercept them, attack their troops, and do not allow them to approach the battlefield."

"Cavalry troops, attack with all your strength, attack the enemy troops, kill them!"

"Light and heavy machine guns, grenadier infantry artillery provide full cover, and launch the impact quickly."

Japanese military officers waved their sabers and loudly issued combat orders.

Hundreds of cavalry troops reacted, and they immediately turned around and quickly launched an attack.

However, there is still a big gap between these troops and the guard regiment.

The machine gun battalion of the guard regiment has a large number of machine guns and mortars, and the combat defense artillery battalion also has rapid-fire cannons and large-caliber heavy machine guns.

The second battalion is even more armed to the teeth. They used to have three-gun equipment, but now they also have enough semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns.

As the Japanese and puppet cavalry troops charged, these weapons fired one after another.

A large number of bullets were fired, and the Japanese and puppet cavalry fell in a pool of blood one after another.

As time passed, the sky became brighter unconsciously. At around eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to enter Shanyang City.

The Japanese and puppet cavalry units suffered a certain amount of casualties, and even the Takeshita Ryuzo advance team also suffered casualties.

As Chen Ziyun commanded three regiments to enter Shanyang City, the morale of the 604th Regiment and the Third Brigade Headquarters defending here was high.

"Commander Chen, the brothers have finally waited for you to come."

"Brothers know that as long as you appear on the battlefield, we will definitely be saved."

"Commander Chen, there are still more than a thousand people in the city who can continue fighting. We will fight how you say."

"Although we don't have many troops, we have a strong will to fight. We will never let you down."

Liang Ruxian and Ling Feng came to Chen Ziyun and said with serious expressions on their faces.

"Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely help you break out."

"There is no need to defend here in Shanyang City. If we continue to defend here, we will pay heavy losses."

"Withdraw the troops to the area west of the Qin River for defense, and make every effort to defend the area on the west bank of the Qin River."

"Next, we will use Shanyang City as the core and continue to attack the surrounding areas, creating the illusion of sticking to Shanyang City to attract and confuse the Japanese and puppet troops."

Chen Ziyun was not polite and immediately issued the combat order.

During the day on the 20th, Chen Ziyun successively directed his troops to attack in all directions.

The First Artillery Regiment launched artillery strikes, while the First Guerrilla Regiment and other units continued to launch combat strikes.

The Japanese and puppet cavalry troops, the Takeshita Ryuzo advance team, suffered certain casualties. They had no way to besiege Shanyang City and could only temporarily evacuate the battlefield.

When the fight reached twelve o'clock at noon, Yanagawa Shinichi had to mobilize puppet troops to rush over for reinforcements.

But a small number of puppet troops went to Shanyang City to fight and were no match at all.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Shaoyun commanded more than 10,000 puppet troops to arrive at Shanyang City.

They did not have the guts to attack, so they could only hold on to their position, trying to use the position to blockade and attack Chen Ziyun's troops.

However, Chen Ziyun did not give them a chance to build a blockade position, and the Li Yang artillery unit continued to fire.

The first guerrilla regiment cooperated with the guard regiment one after another, and the 604 regiment troops went out to fight, but the puppet troops continued to suffer casualties.

The fighting lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. In a few hours of fighting, the puppet troops suffered close to 800 casualties.

After Sun Shaoyun received the report, he was stunned.

Even though he had heard of Chen Ziyun's name a long time ago, this was his first time fighting against Chen Ziyun.

"This Chen Ziyun is truly well-deserved. Look, the same troops, under his command, are completely transformed."

"The remaining defeated soldiers of the third brigade actually showed strong combat capabilities. This Chen Ziyun is really not simple."

"Fortunately, he just came over with his troops. If Chen Ziyun had been in charge earlier, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gained anything, but would have suffered heavy losses."

"Order the troops to defend with all their strength. If Chen Ziyun commands the troops to attack fiercely, they can temporarily evacuate."

"At the same time, quickly contact Taijun and explain the situation here in detail."

Sun Shaoyun had a solemn expression on his face and decisively issued the order.

The Japanese army was quickly reported here, but to no avail.

After all, they have almost no troops that they can mobilize now, and the commander of the 110th Division, Lin Fangtaro, has no troops that can be mobilized.

The main force of the 163rd Regiment also has to deal with the Zhangwu Cavalry Regiment and other units.

So what the little devils can do here is to ask the Japanese and puppet troops near Shanyang City to conduct all-out defensive operations to block the troops besieging the city.

In addition, they also hurriedly contacted the front army headquarters to report the situation here in detail.

After Lieutenant General Lin Fangtaro, the commander of the 110th Division, finished his report, he stood in front of the map and thought about it, trying to find a response strategy.

But at ten o'clock in the evening, the Zhangwu Cavalry Regiment and other troops began to withdraw, and they gathered in the Shanyang City area.

Starting at around ten o'clock, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to abandon Shanyang City and move directly towards the northern highlands.

After the Japanese and puppet troops discovered that Chen Ziyun's troops had withdrawn, the first thought of all officers was to immediately organize troops to pursue them.

But they soon realized that it was Chen Ziyun who was commanding the troops in combat now!

The Japanese and puppet army officers all knew who Chen Ziyun was.

They were worried that if they commanded troops to pursue, they might encounter an ambush, resulting in heavy losses to the troops.

Therefore, whether it is the Japanese army or the puppet army, Chen Ziyun's army completely acquiesces in coming from Shanyang City.

But at this time, the 110th Division Headquarters received a report, and Lieutenant General Lin Fangtaro, the commander of the division, came to the battlefield in person!

Following him to the battlefield was the 163rd Regiment, Field Artillery Regiment.

After arriving in Shanyang City, he immediately met with the officers of the Japanese and puppet troops to learn more about the situation of each department. (End of chapter)
