Fortunately, Guo Bingxun did not worry Yang Zhen for too long. Not long after Qu Xiangqian had arranged explosives and Qiu Jintang made the division of the shooting world, Guo Bingxun barely temporarily got rid of the Japanese and puppet troops behind him, which were almost crazy, and retreated.

Seeing Guo Bingxun hanging on his arm, Yang Zhen rushed over to greet him immediately after receiving the report and hurriedly walked forward and said anxiously: "Why are you injured by Lao Guo? How come you are seriously injured? Zhang Ting, hurry up and check the Chief of Staff."

Seeing Yang Zhen shouting anxiously when Li Yanping and the wounded were evacuating in advance, Zhang Ting, who refused to leave with him and insisted on staying, came to check on him, Guo Bingxun waved his hand and said, "Commander, don't use it for now. My arm was just scratched by shells. There is no big problem with this injury."

After saying that, Guo Bingxun turned his head and looked at the troops behind him that were much shorter than when he set out. He said with a strong bitterness in his tone: "My injury is not a problem, but the entire company's troops are now full of plans and there is only less than one platoon left. The radio operator died, and the radio station was also destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire when he retreated."

Looking at Guo Bingxun with a bitter face, Yang Zhen knew that he was a little guilty of causing such great casualties in the army. The company he handed over to him was the most combat-capable company in the army. From the company commander to the squad leader and even the combat backbone were old bones that emerged from the concentration camp.

After a blocking battle, not only the heavy machine guns and the mortars they carried were all lost. The troops suffered so many old brothers at once. Not to mention that Guo Bingxun, the commander of this blocking battle, wasn’t it too distressing for him to be the victim? Especially the sacrificed radio operator was once the most proud student in the telecommunications class held by Guo Bingxun in the secret camp of Lao Heidingzishan.

It was so heartbreaking, but Yang Zhen knew that Guo Bingxun had tried his best. Although he had strengthened a lot of heavy firepower, it was not easy to block the fully armed infantry company with only more than 100 people, and more than 1,000 Japanese and puppet troops with artillery assisted in the war for four hours, and there was still a platoon of troops left.

Yang Zhen comforted and patted Guo Bingxun on the shoulder and said, "Old Guo, don't feel too uncomfortable. Although the losses have been a little bigger, we have also won the necessary time. As long as we persist in fighting, sacrifice will be inevitable. Now they are the first step, and maybe we will have that day in the near future."

Guo Bingxun sighed and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Old Yang, I understand what you said. I am not a person who can't stand death. Don't forget that I am also a soldier. In the past, when fighting the Xuzhou Battle, our Sichuan Army had the worst equipment and the training was the worst compared to other armies. We have to pay more than ten times, or even dozens of times, for every destruction of a Japanese."

"It's just that I have to pay so much today, at least half of the responsibility. If I accurately judge after receiving your telegram, the Japanese would change their tactics because their overall combat intentions were disrupted, and seize the time to separate from the Japanese and puppet troops, many brothers would not lose under the Japanese artillery fire in vain. Unfortunately, I still have too little experience in the battle."

"Old Yang, the Japanese's tactics are very strange. I have had a lot of dealings with them in the pass, but this is the first time I have seen them adopt this tactic. Every time they encounter our blockade, they will use firepower to kill us as much as possible. And I feel that the true intention of the infantry's attack is more about using their firepower little by little, and the absolute advantage of the troops squeezes us little by little."

"I have tried to set up a ambush several times and knocked down the vanguards who always followed us, but unfortunately they gave up because of their high alertness. Even when the Japanese were chasing us, they arranged two mountain cannons as fire. Once they found any movement, they would cover them with fire. There were not many real casualties during the battle, and most of them were casualties under the Japanese artillery fire."

"And the mountain cannons used by the Japanese this time were not the Type 41 mountain cannons they commonly used on the Guannei battlefield, but another type 95 mountain cannon equipped as the direct artillery gang of its pack horse division. This mountain cannon has a much further range than the original relatively old Type 41 mountain cannon and has much better accuracy. Especially the accuracy of direct aiming and shooting is extremely high."

"When I was blocking, although I used a mortar to suppress the Japanese grenade launcher, I was unable to suppress these artillery guns. All the heavy machine guns I brought were destroyed by these mountain cannons."

"However, although the Japanese have been suppressing artillery fire to cause our heavy weapons to lose embers, the casualties of the troops have not been large. What really started to happen is that after I received your telegram. Just less than half an hour after I received the telegram that you asked us to immediately get out of contact with the Japanese, the Japanese launched a large-scale continuous impact on us like crazy."

"They even changed the tactic of using only the puppet Manchukuo military and police to attack the Japanese army in the rear. After we repelled several attacks of the puppet Manchukuo army, the Japanese army actually took action and adopted the tactic of multiple attacks, launching turns to attack us from mountain roads, ridges and even mountainsides."

"The fierce offensive is almost a world of difference from the previous attack. Although we rely on the terrain to barely get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, according to the tactics of the Japanese and puppet troops who insist on us, I don't think they will catch up in much time."

As if he wanted to verify Guo Bingxun's words, just as soon as his words fell, the sound of cannons that had just fallen silent again. With the sound of cannons, a flare also rose to the sky, illuminating the earth illuminated.

As the sound of artillery sounded, Huang Dali hurried over to see Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun and quickly reported: "Commander, Chief of Staff, the large Japanese troops are coming. The sound of artillery is the artillery that constantly bombards the birch forests on both sides of the road with artillery fire when the Japanese and puppet troops are marching."

After hearing Huang Dali's report, Yang Zhen felt relieved. The move he ordered the ambush troops not to enter the birch forest seemed to be the right one. The Japanese were indeed worried and took the method of alarming the snake. If he had not thought of this, the troops were ambushed in the birch forest at the foot of the mountain. According to the density of cannon sound, the ambush troops would probably lose their combat effectiveness in no time. You must know that in the woods, it is not just artillery shells that can kill people, but also the broken trees and the branches flying everywhere would also cause major casualties to the troops hidden in the woods.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Zhen said to Huang Dali: "You go and pass my order. Before the explosives on the mountain road explode, even if the Japanese vanguard stepped on the top of his head, as long as he did not find it, no one was allowed to shoot."

When Huang Dali heard Yang Zhen’s order, he responded quickly, turned around and hurriedly ran towards the ambush position to convey the order.

After giving the order, Yang Zhen terminated the conversation with Guo Bingxun, raised his telescope, and carefully observed the Japanese and puppet troops chasing him in his direction with the light of the flares fired by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Although this Japanese and puppet army has not stopped moving forward, it is not fast and it never leaves the scope of its artillery fire. Although the Japanese shell landing points sound scattered and have no certain targets. But if you listen carefully, you can still hear that the Japanese shell landing points are pushing forward little by little towards their direction. And it has never left the place where dense birch forests grow at the foot of the mountain.

While Yang Zhen was observing the enemy situation, a cadre from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces who had been around him saw the flares fired by the Japanese and puppet troops chasing the mountains and fields under the cover of the flares. He frowned and said, "Commander, Chief of Staff, we have been fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops for many years during the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces."

"Although these Japanese men surrounded and pursued us many times, they rarely stayed in the mountains and forests at night because they were worried about attacks at night, and they rarely stayed in the mountains and forests at night. Even when their troops were at great advantage, they were still chasing during the day and rested at night. Because they knew that at night in the mountains and forests, they had a lot of troops, but they did not have the advantage. They were very afraid of ambushing in the ambush."

"So when our Anti-Japanese United Army is in activities, no matter the Japanese are surrounded by tightly, we can use night rest and break through."

"What happened to them this time? Crazy? Not only did they go against their conventions, they went deep into the mountains and forests at night, biting so tightly, and also fired so many flares in one breath? This is the first time I have seen this situation in the Anti-Japanese United Army for so many years. Are they really not afraid of us using the terrain to ambush them? You know, before the political commissar took away some of the troops to cover the wounded and the new recruits and retreated first, our troops were not much less than the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us?"

When Yang Zhen heard the cadre's words, he did not put down the telescope in his hand, but just smiled faintly: "The Japanese and puppet troops in front of him violated the customs, probably because their superiors were too tight."

"We attacked Weihe County and shot most of the traitors in Weihe County. We also bombed two Japanese troops, causing a large number of casualties. On the way, we destroyed several Japanese tribes. Do you think the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters can be well? I guess the Japanese may regard us as a big trouble now, right? In this way, their crazy actions against the convention will be much easier to explain."

Although Yang Zhen had long estimated that when he arrived at the Kwantung Army, he would hate him to the core and regard it as a major concern, the real situation was much more serious than he had expected.

The Kwantung Army general Yang Zhen's troops regarded them as a major problem, which was mild, and they were simply regarded as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh. Lieutenant General Fujiji Yasui failed to eliminate Yang Zhen's troops and lost traces of Yang Zhen's troops, but also made people not know that the cat was fat and strong in the deep mountains and forests. Just as Fujiji Yasui was concentrating on dealing with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he stabbed him hard in the back.

Not only did he rescue the Anti-United Nations Western Expedition Force, which had become the treasure of the Kwantung Army, but he also wiped out the forest police in the Weihe area, and the railway police force took the blame in the Wei'anshan area. Even the Japanese who served as the deputy director of the Binjiang Provincial Police Department, who held real power, was beaten to death.

What's even more excessive is that Weihe County, which was regarded as a bandit in the Kwantung Army, has long been wiped out and has become a model county for public security. Not only was it captured by this bold bandit. Together with Weihe County, the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements fell into the hands of this anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements who were extremely guilty were also a series of Kwantung Army supporting an arms train that was fighting fiercely with the Soviet army in Zhanggufeng. The large number of weapons, ammunition and materials on the train, especially the heavy artillery shells that the Korean army was urgently needed, fell into the hands of these damn anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.

What made the Kwantung Army even more unbearable was that a train of troops from the Fourth Division, which had just been transferred to Manchuria, was actually blown up in broad daylight. The soldiers of the two brigades of the Fourth Division were sent to the West together with their weapons and equipment.

When the rescue troops arrived, less than one or two of the Japanese soldiers on the train survived. The complete blowout of Weihe Station interrupted the Binsui Railway, one of the major traffic arteries of the Kwantung Army. Not only did the Kwantung Army greatly reduce the support capacity of the garrison in the Soviet-Manchurian border area, but also seriously threatened the contact between the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army.

The loss of Weihe County, the Kwantung Army was at most unfair, and at most it was just that the so-called purge of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in the North and Manchu area had been blown away. However, two consecutive attacks were attacked, a large number of weapons and ammunition fell into the hands of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements, and a large number of imperial soldiers suffered serious casualties without a single shot. The interruption of the Binsui Railway was extremely untolerable for the Kwantung Army.

Especially the 4th Division commander Shigeru Sawada, who had just taken office, was hit hard and lost two brigades of troops before he even saw the shadow of the enemy. Lieutenant General Sawada, the commander of the Fourth Division, who had been serving in the commander of the Fourth Division for many years, threatened that if the Kwantung Army did not give the Fourth Division a satisfactory explanation, he would directly report to the Emperor and ask for the Imperial Death to stop the Imperial Death, which would make Kenyo Ueda's face dim.

In anger, Kenyoshi Ueda, the day after his loss of Weihe County, the day after the Fourth Division was attacked, immediately revoked the position of Fujiji Yasui as the commander-in-chief of the Suppression Commander. If it weren't for the position of the division commander who was not the commander of the Kanto Army, it could be said that he would retreat. Kenyoshi Ueda, who was quite worried, would be very happy to brag about the cowhide, threatening that there was no bandit in the Binjiang area and retreated to the end and threw the big blame to the commander of the Second Division who was also the commander of the North Manchuria clearance.

What embarrassed Ueda Kenji was that until the Weihe County town, which had been abandoned by Yang Zhen, was once again recovered by the puppet Manchukuo military police that night. The Kwantung Army intelligence department, which claimed to be powerful, did not know where this bold bandit emerged. It always thought that although the war had been truce at this moment, the small Soviet troops who were still confronting the Korean army were doing it. Because the Kwantung Army intelligence department did not believe that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which had been theoretically defeated, had such great capabilities.

It was not until the interrogation of the prisoners of the puppet Manchukuo military and police who were released by Yang Zhen and learned that many of these people were speaking in the accent of the Guandong Army, they were reminded by Lieutenant General Isogaya, who remembered the large roads of the Kwantung Army's epidemic prevention and water supply department, and killed Major General Noriya Deputy Changde and most of the troops in the Wudaolingzi Iron Mine.

After learning the news, Kenyo Ueda was furious. After revoking the position of commander-in-chief of Fujiri Yasui, he almost shot Colonel Okubo Shunjiro Okubo, the newly established Kanto Army Special Intelligence Department.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had just taken office in early August and the Kwantung Army's special intelligence department had just been formed, I'm afraid that Kenyoshi Ueda, who was furious by continuous mistakes, would have directly ordered the intelligence officer who regarded Yang Zhen's troops as the Soviet army's squad, to apologize.

After removing the commander of the bandit suppression of Yasui Fuji, Kenyoshi Ueda, was not popular with Yasui Fuji himself, and was even regarded as a thankless chore, under the strong pressure of the Tokyo Military Headquarters, he finally lowered his head, which he thought was noble.

At the suggestion of Major General Ishihara Kanir, who had to bow his head, Ueda Kenyoshi, reported to the Tokyo Military Department at the time, to request that Sasaki, who had been transferred to the China Expeditionary Army, who had caused significant losses to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, be appointed as the commander of the Independent Fifth Guard who had been transferred to the China Expeditionary Army and had caused significant losses to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, who went to No. 1 Lieutenant General to serve as the commander of the Independent Fifth Guard who was specifically responsible for the garrison of the North Manchuria.

However, although the Tokyo Military Department agreed to Kenyoshi Ueda's suggestion, it was impossible for Sasaki, who was far away in China, to take office immediately. In the end, Kenyoshi Ueda was still at the suggestion of Major General Ishihara Kanir, to be the new person who planned the September 18th Incident. Kenyoshi Ueda still agreed to the temporary acting commander of Major General Ishihara Kanir, who was the chief of staff of the security team, before Sasaki took office.

The Chief of Staff, who was suppressed by the tyrant Yasuhiri Fujiri, was overjoyed after receiving the order from this agent. In order to show himself in a hurry, he accepted the so-called combat plan of the combat staff of Kojirohara, who claimed to be his first confidant as Chief of Staff of the Independent Fifth Police Force, without even considering it. He also agreed to the guy's request to personally supervise the battle.

However, with the support of Major General Ishihara Kanir, although the Kanto Army Command approved his proposal as quickly as possible, it also proposed to eliminate the bandits that brought great harm to the reputation of the Manchu Empire and the Kanto Army in the shortest time. In order to show the importance of the Kanto Army, Major General Ishihara Kanir even flew to Harbin to supervise the battle after approving this combat plan.

After Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara Kanir arrived in Harbin to supervise the war and secretly gave a so-called experience, the Chief of Staff, who temporarily acted as Commander, also put a great pressure on the front-line officers.

Although under the pressure layer by layer, the chief of staff was still clear. After studying Yang Zhen's detailed experience in several battles, although he strictly urged all Japanese and puppet troops to seize the time, he repeatedly asked him to be cautious. If it weren't for Kojiroharaji's original tactical plan to squeeze Yang Zhen's troops into the ambush circle in order to compete for the sake of his original tactical plan, at least Yang Zhen would face much more sinister than he is now.

However, although Kojiroharaji was blinded by jealousy, his mortal enemy, Hiroji Ikeda, who was the commander-in-chief of this encirclement and suppression, was much more sober than him and had been working steadily according to the combat plan.

It was only after receiving the report that Kojirohara Ji was seriously injured and the gap in the northern line of the encirclement was opened that Kojirohara Ikeda had to increase his offense. Because he knew that if he was defeated this battle, the bandits would slip away from his nose. Although Kojirohara Ji was a scapegoat who underestimated the enemy and was a scapegoat, he was also inseparable from the commander-in-chief of the suppression this time.

With the high-powered father-in-law greeting him, Hiroji Ikeda had already been transferred back to China to serve as the captain of the newly formed regular field division. He would never want any problems at this critical moment when he was about to be promoted.

So after receiving the news that Kojiroharaji was seriously injured and the Northern Route Army was defeated, Koji Ikeda launched a rare night offensive, striving to close the opened encirclement before all the bandits broke through, showing his abilities to the Tokyo Army. While putting a perfect end to this promotion, he could leave the Kanto Army with glory.

With this idea, Ikeda Koji had the change in the offensive of the Japanese and puppet troops on the Eastern Front, and he could understand it by changing his past style of not fighting night battles with the Anti-Japanese United Army.
