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

The headquarters of the Third Brigade is commanded in Hanoi County, and the headquarters of the 60th Regiment is also here.

Takeshita Ryuzo's advance team completed the infiltration ahead of schedule and once again attacked the command organization.

As the brigade headquarters and regiment headquarters lost contact, the 604th Regiment lost effective command, and the 107th Regiment quickly broke through.

Now that the more than 604 troops of the th Regiment had begun to collapse, Chen Ziyun did not dare to delay at all after receiving this report.

He immediately contacted the Zhangwu Cavalry Regiment to dispatch and directly coordinated the evacuation of the 604th Regiment.

At the same time, he decisively gathered the guard regiment in Baixiang Town for defense. The First Zhu Mingxuan Guerrilla Regiment was stationed in Gudan Town and was responsible for guarding the area and the First Artillery Regiment.

As for Lu Zhenyu's Fourth Guerrilla Regiment, they quickly went to Meng County to deploy defenses and at the same time established contact with the Wencheng 605 Regiment.

All the ministries were quickly mobilized, and they all went to the designated areas to assemble.

At around five o'clock, the cavalry regiment began to assist the 604 regiment in evacuating towards the Baixiang Town area.

It was at this time that the little devil launched a series of combat actions.

The 107th Regiment, which captured Hanoi County, dispatched an elite unit and quickly penetrated and attacked the Gu Dan Town area.

However, the First Guerrilla Regiment of Zhu Mingxuan had already been stationed here, directly blocking the attack of the Japanese troops.

At the same time, the 69th Regiment and other troops in Ziling Town also began to regroup, and they quickly launched a fierce attack on Baixiang Town.

However, before part of the guard regiment was stationed in Baixiang Town, the little devils all returned without success. Now that the entire guard regiment is stationed in Baixiang Town, the results can be imagined.

At six o'clock, the 150th Regiment, responsible for the attack on Wencheng, carried out a large-scale detour. More than a thousand people from its unit made a detour to attack Mengxian County.

However, the Fourth Guerrilla Regiment of Lu Zhenyu has been stationed in Meng County for defense, and the two sides started a fierce battle in Meng County.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the little Japanese saw that the attacks of various troops were frustrated. They began to stop the attack and quickly retreated.

At 52:, the nd Division troops began to gather their main forces in Ziling Town and Hanoi County.

This area contains the main force of the 69th Regiment, the 107th Regiment, the Engineer Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment.

In the Wencheng area, there is an artillery brigade attached to the 150th regiment.

The search wing has been withdrawn and is under control of the division headquarters as a reserve.

As for the heavy troops, they will be assembled in the Qinhe area. They will be responsible for transporting combat supplies and other tasks.

The 52nd Infantry Division temporarily stopped their offensive operations to rest and recuperate. Not even Chen Ziyun could guess their next target.

Of course, at this time, two elite field regiments secretly assembled in the northern Henan region had already secretly set off under the command of Nakanishi Sadaki.

They marched all the way and rushed to the battlefield in southeastern Shanxi!

As time passed, silence temporarily returned to the northern Henan area, and the two sides faced off.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong commanded the troops to arrive at the battlefield.

At the same time, the headquarters of the 604rd Brigade and the th Regiment, which lost contact, also got in touch with Chen Ziyun.

Liang Ruxian, the commander of the third brigade, was hit this time. The little devils advanced to attack his brigade headquarters.

Liang Ruxian was hit by a bullet during the breakout and is currently suffering from trauma.

If it weren't for the brigade security troops' desperate cover, Liang Ruxian might have died on the spot.

When Chen Ziyun saw Liang Ruxian, he was in a semi-conscious state.

"Send to Zhongtiao Mountain for treatment, Brigadier Liang, don't worry, I'll take command!"

Liang Ruxian was seriously injured this time. After hearing what Chen Ziyun said, he nodded with difficulty and passed out.

Liang Ruxian, commander of the third brigade, was rushed to the rear for treatment, while Chen Ziyun directly took over command of the army.

Ling Feng, the leader of the 604th Regiment, had gauze wrapped around his head and arms, and his face was very pale.

After arriving in front of Chen Ziyun, he lowered his head in shame, feeling a little ashamed. After all, his regiment headquarters was hit twice, and the troops were first repulsed and then collapsed.

If the cavalry regiment hadn't quickly attacked to intercept the Japs' pursuing troops and quickly contained the troops, the 604th regiment would have completely collapsed this time.

"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Losing one or two battles does not matter."

"But lessons must be learned. If we fail to learn lessons, we will suffer a devastating blow sooner or later."

"Your regiment will gather at the front lines of Kejing Town and Chengliu Town to rest and wait for follow-up combat orders."

"The main force of the regiment is deployed in Kejing Town to prevent the Japs from Ziling Town from advancing westward."

"We need to be more vigilant. We can't let the little devils raid the regiment headquarters again."

Chen Ziyun looked at the leader Ling Feng in front of him and said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Commander Chen." Ling Feng replied with a difficult salute.

The 604th Regiment temporarily withdrew from the battlefield to rest and recuperate. After two defeats, their morale was greatly affected.

If they are forced to continue fighting, there may be a complete defeat. At that time, not only the 604th Regiment will suffer a devastating blow.

Moreover, they would also affect other troops on the battlefield. To avoid such a situation, Chen Ziyun arranged them in the rear.

Immediately after Chen Ziyun found Li Yunlong, the defense of Wencheng and Meng counties near the north bank of the Yellow River was very important.

Especially here in Wencheng, if the little devils capture this place, they can push westward in a straight line.

But as long as Wencheng is in control, even if the Japs capture Hanoi County and Ziling Town, they will not be able to penetrate westward.

If they advance westward through these two towns, Chen Ziyun can mobilize troops to attack.

"Brother Yunlong, the location here is very important, so I leave it to you to defend it."

"No matter what, please stick to Meng County, Wencheng."

"As long as you hold on here, the initiative will be in our hands."

Chen Ziyun had a solemn expression on his face and said directly to Li Yunlong.

"Brother Ziyun, don't worry, as long as we are here, the little devil can't even think of making any progress."

"Don't mention them as a reinforced unit. Even if the main force of their division comes over, we can still hold our position."

"In addition, the Kongjie Independent Regiment has gradually come to the Qinhe area. If we fight well this time, maybe we can achieve great results."

"Hehehe, you also know our situation. Now the two regiments still lack a lot of weapons and equipment."

"Brother Ziyun, I want to win the war with you and just replenish weapons and ammunition."

Li Yunlong smiled and said firmly.

Immediately afterwards, the three regiments of the independent detachment advanced towards Wencheng and Mengxian to assume the defense of the area.

As for the replacement 605th Regiment, the Fourth Guerrilla Regiment, Chen Ziyun also had arrangements.

Wei Heshang's Guard Regiment, Fang Qing's 605th Regiment, Zhangwu's Cavalry Regiment, and Sun Xiong's st Artillery Regiment were directly deployed by Chen Ziyun in the Baixiang Town area.

The First Guerrilla Regiment of Zhu Mingxuan was stationed in Fantian Town, east of Gudan Town; the Fourth Guerrilla Regiment of Lu Zhenyu was stationed in Gudan Town.

Fantian Town is located in the southwest of Hanoi County and northwest of Wencheng.

The first guerrilla regiment is deployed here and can counterattack Hanoi County at any time. It can also effectively support Li Yunlong's independent detachment in fighting in Wencheng and Meng County.

There are four regiments assembled here in Baixiang Town, which naturally have to deal with the main force of the 52nd Infantry Division.

As for the fourth guerrilla regiment, the 604th regiment is currently in a relatively safe position and will not be directly hit. They are to serve as a reserve force. (End of chapter)
