The commander of the Bingyiichiko Takeda heard that the Chinese troops guarding Hanyang Town were the Northwest Army's teaching regiment. Not only did he frowned and pondered, but his bloody battle in Niangziguan appeared in front of him. How could he not have an impression?

It was this Northwest Army Training Corps who crossed the Yellow River east and headed north. During a fierce battle to block the Japanese army on the Hutuo River defense line, Commander Li of the Teaching Corps was injured. In order to cover the friendly forces, he retreated first. In order to cover up the friendly forces, he fought with the Japanese army for several days, annihilated more than a hundred enemies, and successfully retreated to the Niangziguan line in Shanxi to continue to block the enemy's attack.

Acting leader Zhang Xiwen led the teaching team to retreat to the extremely tense Niangzi Pass, where the war situation was extremely tense, and immediately started fighting without time to rest.

Zhang Xiwen, who had fought with the enemy many times, found that the enemy first used aircraft, cannons, tanks and heavy firepower to cooperate with the ground troops to launch the craziest attack, thereby achieving the rule of destroying the enemy's positions and causing a large number of casualties to the opponent.

In order to avoid the heavy fire bombing and artillery of the Japanese army and make up for the huge gap with the enemy in weapons, Zhang Xiwen ordered the troops to speed up repairs fortifications while repelling the enemy's powerful attack, and some troops quickly dug out caves that could defend themselves.

Once the enemy launches air fighter bombing and ground tank artillery strikes again, drill into the cave as fast as possible to hide, and only a few observation posts are sent to observe the enemy's movements at any time.

The 77th Regiment of the Japanese Takeda Ichiji Brigade was blocked at the Niangziguan defense line. Colonel Takeda, who was the corps leader at the time, ordered the bombing of air fighter jets and ground tanks and artillery artillery to completely destroy the positions of Niangziguan and eliminate the defenders under the cover of the heavy firepower of the Niangziguan defense army.

The teaching regiment that was stuck at the Niangzi Pass, under the command of Acting Commander Zhang Xiwen, whenever Japanese planes bombarded in the air and the ground tank artillery fire was crazily bombarded, they immediately ordered the troops to hide in the cave and successfully avoided the crazy attack of Japanese artillery fire.

This method is very effective. As long as the Japanese fighter jets and ground artillery fire stop bombing, the officers and soldiers of the teaching regiment hiding in the cave are like tigers in the mountains, quickly coming out of the cave to seize the position and attack the attacking enemy with the most fierce firepower.

After two days and two nights of bloody battle, the teaching regiment successfully blocked the 33rd Regiment of Takeda Ichijima Brigade and was unable to move forward under Niangzi Pass, and killed Colonel Takeda, the commander of the 77th Regiment, and wiped out nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers.

The captain of the 77th Regiment, Jinichiro Takeda, was shot dead, and immediately took over by Colonel Kazumasa Hiratsu, who had fought fiercely with Leiyun Peak many times.

The teaching team was very good at fighting in the Niangzi Pass, but after more than 2,700 soldiers of the teaching team passed through the Niangzi Pass, only 732 soldiers were left.

At this time, the Li army of the Northwest Army Training Corps, which was severely damaged by the 33rd and 77th Regiment of the Takeda Bingyi Brigade at Niangzi Pass.

Since the commander of the 77th Regiment, Minichiro Takeda was shot dead by the teaching regiment at the Hutuo River defense line, and Colonel Kazumaki Kazumaki was the leader of the regiment, he did not expect that the captain of Kazumaki Kazumaki was really an excellent commander, and he advanced from Niangziguan to Nakatsuyama and achieved great results.

However, the 77th Regiment that reinforced Yaowangtai was now blocked by Leiyunfeng's troops at Xianguding. At this time, Yaowangtai had been occupied by the Japanese army and no longer needed the 77th Regiment's reinforcement, but was bitten by Leiyunfeng's troops and dragged it to Xianguding.

In order to destroy the line of the teaching regiment defending the Nakajo Shanxi Line West Army in Hanyang Town, the commander of the brigade of Takeda Ichijiki ordered the Kuino headquarters of the 33rd Regiment to launch an attack on Hanyang Town, and ordered the 77th Regiment Colonel Guanshan Hiratsuka to quickly end the battle and eliminate the Leiyunfeng headquarters.

Once the Leiyun Peak troops cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, immediately withdraw from the battle and quickly move towards Hanyang Town. The reinforcement 33rd Regiment will break through the Chinese defense line in Hanyang Town, occupy Fenglingdu, and cross the Yellow River to open up the Tongguan defense line to advance to Xi'an.

At this time, the commander Li, who led the first and second battalions of the teaching regiments, fought with the plainclothes brigade and the boy company, faced the main attack enemy that the Japanese army was about to block. After careful deployment, this commander with superb command ability actually gave up the guardian Hanyang Town and deployed the troops of the two battalions in Xinzhuang, 3,000 meters south of Hanyang Town.

The reason why Commander Li was so defensive was because his first battalion had more than 300 soldiers, including battalion commander Zhang Xiwen, were ambushed by Japanese troops in Xiyaowen. At this time, only the first and second battalions, plainclothes brigade and a boy company with very low combat power were around him.

If the main forces are deployed in Hanyang Town, even if the position built is strong, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be most powerful. What should we do if the main Japanese army troops are overwhelmed by the outside world and surrounded Hanyang Town from the periphery and wait for assistance, and the reinforcements cannot arrive in time?

If this dangerous situation really occurs, it is unimaginable to successfully break through the siege of Japanese troops under the siege of ammunition and food, and the final result will be annihilation of the entire army.

Commander Li is not a stupid commander, and he will never do such a stupid thing.

The reason why he deployed his main force in Xinzhuang was because Xinzhuang was close to Zhongtiao Mountain to the east, and he could stand firm or avoid his edge with the help of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Moreover, the Yellow River is west of Xinzhuang, and Fengling Du, the important ferry to be protected, is behind him. If the Japanese army wants to occupy the defense line east of the Yellow River, break through Tongguan and enter Xi'an, they must pass through Xinzhuang.

After repeated research on the terrain of this area, Li, the leader of the teaching regiment, finally decided to give up the main force to defend Hanyang Town, and deploy the main force on one side, the mountains and ridges at the western end of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the other side is Xinzhuang on the surging Yellow River. From here, it leads to Fenglingdu as a frontier position to block the attacking enemy. Xinzhuang is the only way to pass.

Commander Li did not rely solely on Xinzhuang as the first line of defense to block the Japanese army's occupation of Fenglingdu, but instead deployed the plainclothes brigade directly under the regiment led by Deputy Commander Wei Hongji in Hanyang Town.

In order to confuse the enemy, according to the careful deployment of the regiment Li, the soldiers of the plainclothes brigade were ordered to disguise themselves as local people, push the floor truck, carry baskets, carry the usual things the villagers usually bring out, hide the weapons and break the troops into pieces, and divide them into groups of three or three to walk into Hanyang Town.

The combat effectiveness of the teaching regiment and the ability of officers and soldiers to perform tasks independently can be said to be the boss of the Northwest Army. The plainclothes brigade is also the elite soldiers and generals of the Li team of the teaching regiment. They all have martial arts skills. Not only are they very good at playing long and short guns, but they are even very capable of fighting skills.

The soldiers of the plainclothes brigade have undergone special training. They are not only good at dancing swords and guns, but also have high tactical qualities. They are extremely sensitive to special situations when performing special tasks.

In particular, the ability of independent combat is more outstanding, and the cooperation combat is also the most powerful elite force in the Northwest Army.

What is particularly important is that Wei Hongji, the captain of the plainclothes brigade, is an underground party, and dozens of underground party members are lurking among the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

The plainclothes brigade of the teaching regiment soon entered Hanyang Town. The people of Hanyang Town knew that it was the anti-Japanese troops who entered the village secretly. Under the leadership of the village chief, they walked out of the house and pulled soldiers who disguised as people and joked intimately.

Colonel Kuino, the 33rd Japanese Regiment, led his troops to approach Hanyang Town quickly, but this cunning Japanese commander did not immediately launch a crazy attack on Hanyang Town, but instead sent a special reconnaissance team to approach the reconnaissance.

The Japanese scouts who returned to the report reported to Colonel Kuino: At this time, the troops guarding near Hanyang Town were the Northwest Army Training Corps, who killed the captain of the 77th Regiment, Jinichiro Takeda, at Niangzi Pass. Colonel Kuino's face changed drastically when he heard the news.
