Compared to the frontline Major Kuroda's sure arrangement of troops, Colonel Kikugawa Jiro was quite restless in the corps headquarters located in Guangping County.

Since the Akiki tribe of Matsuki sent out a telegram before the sun set that "Our tribe is determined to build a field position to attract some of the enemy's firepower, and wait for the main force of the periphery to defeat the enemy before counterattacking, no news has been heard.

Kuroda's command and corps headquarters sent no less than ten telegrams, all like a rock sinking into the sea, which made Kikugawa Jiro, the leader of the corps, extremely worried. He was close to 500 imperial officers and soldiers, and the First Infantry Brigade was the main force in his corps. Yuki Matsuki was even more optimistic about the rising star and the best candidate to take over as the captain of the First Infantry Brigade in the future.

Although the Japanese Army Colonel did not believe that the Chinese had the strength to swallow his 500 elite troops in one bite, there was always a haze that could not be removed in his heart.

"I called the brigade and the division headquarters. There was a situation in the 'Operation Evil'. I extremely suspected that a large number of regular troops from the enemy's southeastern Shanxi had entered the southern Hebei area. I asked the reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance on the battlefield area after dawn, and it was not ruled out that I requested air support from the Army Aviation Corps!" Jiro Kikugawa, who was cautious enough, was extremely anxious and finally made a decision after suffering in the brigade headquarters for half a night.

The Dangdang Division was just a mobilization operation to the rural areas of the occupied areas, and it was necessary to request air support from the Army Aviation Corps. This was undoubtedly an extremely embarrassing act, but Kikugawa Jiro still did so.

So, at around 8 o'clock in the morning, the reconnaissance plane flying from Baoding circled and circled over Panzhai, and brought back a news of the five thunder-thunder thunder to Jiro Kikugawa.

‘In the area where Yuki tribe of Songbei was staying, there were corpses of yellow military uniforms everywhere. Just by visually measuring from a height of 600 meters, there were about 300 pieces!’

"Baga, order Major Kuroda to step up the attack. I want it to turn into white land. I don't see any living Chinese creature!" The crazy Kikugawa Jiro smashed all the objects on his table, and even issued a military order to his subordinates in front of him with murderous intent.

"Order the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion in the city to carry the heavy machine gun squad and the 2nd baggage squadron to prepare a battle ammunition and go to support Major Kuroda!"

This is the last garrison in Guangping County. In addition to the escort squadron left behind in the corps headquarters, the 63rd Infantry Regiment has basically been fully out.

This naturally means that only 200 Japanese troops were stationed in Guangping County, which is absolutely rare for Jiro Kikugawa, who has always been cautious. This also shows how angry the Japanese Army colonel was about the fact that the bait he threw was swallowed by the Chinese.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Kikugawa Jiro doing this in tactical terms. He used his full strength, and the same was true for the Chinese soldiers in Guangping Prefecture.

Just like two masters have entered the stage of fighting that determines life and death, and they still have enough energy at this time. Why? Wait until the other party kills him? Can you still explain the last words if the little energy he keeps?

Major Saburo Kuroda, who received the military order from the rear corps, naturally worked hard and commanded his eight infantry squadrons to launch a crazy attack on the Chinese positions headed by the 2nd Company of the Four Line Regiment.

This was almost an encounter. Wei Donglai's 2nd Company and Guangping District built fortifications almost one night.

Fortunately, the mountains in Guangping County were all formed by the alluvial Zhang River in ancient times, and they were all earthen mountains. The geology was much softer than that of the Taihang Mountains. The officers and soldiers of the Four-Road Regiment and the Eighty-Tianjin Group all brought enough excavation tools.

There is no time to dig too much for this anti-aircraft hole, but the trench is deep enough, at least 1.5 meters standard!

In addition, the 63 Infantry Regiment is not here to engage in regular combat, and only carries infantry artillery and 90 mortars equipped with infantry brigade-level equipment. The most sharp artillery is a mountain artillery squadron directly under the wing headquarters. The four 75mm mountain artillery pieces are a mountain artillery squadron directly under the wing!

Therefore, facing 4 infantry cannons, 6 mortars and 4 mountain cannons, the Chinese soldiers located on the mountain did not suffer much loss.

At this time, the 2nd Company received assistance from three 80mm howitzers, and the 60-force equipment of each infantry squad were equipped. Although the range was not as good as that of the Japanese artillery, the artillery fire density was still stronger than that of the Japanese army within a range of 1,000 meters.

At least, the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron can only be distributed 700 meters in the front line, otherwise it will be easily retaliated by Chinese small-caliber mortars.

This also indirectly slowed down the pressure on the front line. After the Japanese infantry lost their advantage in firepower, it was difficult for the soldiers to attack the positions for a while with their strong skills, tactics and battlefield experience.

Needless to say, the 2nd Company of Wei Dong came, more than 200 people in the second company, united as infantry squad, firmly locked the defense line of six mountains with a width of kilometers and a depth of 500 meters. The Japanese army used nearly 4 squadrons to attack in turn, but did not move forward.

On the other hand, the Guangping Division of the 80th Army Group Army gathered more than 1,100 regular troops and more than 500 militiamen. Although the weapons and equipment are not as good as the Four Army Regiment, they can win because of their abundant manpower.

Because of the rich experience accumulated in digging tunnels in the past two months, the breathtaking trenches and Great Wall was dug out in just one night.

That was the civil engineering operation ability that the Tang Tuanzhai inspected later was amazed by. The four high grounds were dug out of the first line, the second line and even the third line trenches, and there were traffic trenches for soldiers to pass through in the middle, densely packed like spider webs.

Even the Four-Road Group may be able to get behind this terrifying learning ability and battlefield adaptability.

In the original words of the Deputy Brigade Commander Chen: "If there were not enough guns and bullets, and even the trenches could not be dug more and hurry up, then my Chen Zaidao's head would have been hanging on the head of Handan City to become bacon!"

To put it bluntly, it’s all forced jobs!

It was precisely because of this miracle that was dug out overnight that the Guangping County District only relied on 800 rifles, but 20 light machine guns, 2 Type 82 mortars and 30 shells, blocked the impact of four Japanese infantry squadrons at all costs.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! In the entire 3 hours, more than 2,000 Japanese troops under Kuroda Saburo paid nearly 400 casualties and consumed nearly 600 shells of various types, but they did not make any progress.

But no one expected that the most tragic battlefield in Panzhai Village was not on the front battlefield where both sides invested more than 2,000 meters away from the front battlefield.

As early as 7 a.m., Zheng Yunqiu led his security camp consisting of gangsters and surrendered troops to the foot of Zijing Mountain.

When a squad in charge of reconnaissance was advancing along the Zijing Mountain Trail, he had already encountered shooting from the mountainside. Four people were shot and killed on the spot. He used his life to detect the blocking position of Chinese soldiers here.

If you want to go around the Chinese position over there through here, there is no second way to go, you can only conquer this mountain!

"Brothers, we all follow me, Mr. Zheng, just want to seek wealth and honor. I don't want to say anything high-sounding. We don't fight for anyone, just for wealth and honor."

Zheng Yunqiu, who was mobilizing before the war, was simply straightforward. He ignored the Japanese lieutenant and his two infantry squads standing not far away. After shouting passionately, he waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to carry two large wooden boxes.

He picked up a big knife, slashed off the copper lock on one of the boxes, and kicked the lid out of the box!

In the sun, the white silver ocean shines with heart-warming silver light.

"This is the wealth Zheng has accumulated over the past year, not too much or too little. 100,000 silver and 20 big yellow croakers, today Zheng took it out as a reward!

Kill a 'Tu Ba' and reward Yin Yang with 10 yuan! In addition, the injured brother will give 50 yuan. If I die here, I promise to give 100 yuan to settle the house in front of all my brothers. If I don't fulfill it later, I, Zheng Yunqiu, will not be able to die well!"

I have to say that Zheng Yunqiu was able to survive to this position, not only because of forgetting his ancestors, but also shameless. His heart is also cruel!

After receiving the favor and military order from Kuroda Saburo last night, the man sent his confidant subordinate Xingye to rush home and took over the money he had plundered from the people of Guangping over the past year.

Maybe he didn't give it all as he said, but it was definitely mostly the money. Just look at his heartache and his mouth twitched. This is also drinking his blood and eating his flesh.

But Zheng Yunqiu also knew that the so-called "I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap a wolf". If he can show up in front of Kuroda Saburo or even Kikugawa Jiro, and eventually become the leader of a security legion, then he can get back several times the money in the future.

It is normal for a group of gangsters to bully men and women. Xiao Qian has seen many of them, but I haven’t seen Yin Yang, who is often dozens or hundreds of times, and I’ve been thrilled by the silver box that is flashing with silver light.

"After I was in the procession, the 2nd and 3rd companies attacked from both sides. I beat drums and cheered for my brothers at the foot of the mountain, wishing my brothers a victory!" Zheng Yunqiu looked at his high morale and was still very satisfied with his decision.

He trotted to the Japanese lieutenant with a few steps, and a few flattering touches appeared on his face: "Lieutenant Yamamoto, how are my tactical deployments? If nothing else, I will order an attack."

"Zheng Jun, yours is very good!" A serious Japanese Army lieutenant smiled on his face and patted Zheng Yundong on the shoulder. "But there is no need for a single contingent to fight, the imperial officers and soldiers will help you."

With the wave of the hand, 50 Japanese soldiers crawled down at an area about 500 meters away from the mountainside, and the black muzzles of dozens of rifles and two light machine guns were aimed at the front.

"Tell your subordinates that there is no order to retreat. Those who retreat will die!" The Japanese Army Lieutenant's face was covered with coldness. "There will be an infantry squad in the Empire to attack with you. Zheng Jun, please take your guard to command the battle in the rear!"

He invested 600 people in three infantry companies at one time? Do you understand tactics? Zheng Yunqiu really wanted to spit on the Japanese deputy squadron leader in front of him with a look on his face.

Zheng Yunqiu, the battalion commander of the Public Security Army over the past year, was not in vain. He had worked in the company and the platoon leader of his subordinates in the regular army and asked many tactical deployments. He also knew that before launching the general attack, he had to have a feint attack, knowing where the opponent's heavy firepower point and light firepower point are. After attacking, he could also reduce casualties.

Facing the cold face of the Japanese Army Lieutenant, Zheng Yunqiu's face suddenly turned pale because he suddenly understood.

This person didn't understand tactics, so he understood it very much. He just regarded his security army infantry battalion as cannon fodder, which could not only test the firepower point, but also consume its ammunition. The real attack point was not at all under his command of 600, but at the Japanese infantry team that followed the last time.

"Zheng Jun, you must understand that your future is not in the small Guangping County..." The Japanese Army Lieutenant looked at the famous local snake in Guangping County and said meaningfully.

"Yes, I understand." Zheng Yunqiu gritted his teeth and nodded and left.

So, before each of the 600 security troops went to the battlefield, they received 10 silver dresses and attacked Zijing Mountain from three directions under the leadership of three company commanders!

From a distance, the dense figures of the security army who broke into the gorgeous sea of ​​Bauhinia flowers, which were also covered in yellow military uniforms, were like a group of yellow ants busy moving, which looked extremely cunning.

"Oh! Are the Japanese relying on the number of people? Then they were wrong. What I am most afraid of is the tactics of the sea of ​​people." Potato lying in the brutal bush was not surprised but happy.

"This is not a Japanese, it is a second Japanese!" Kawako, not far from the potato, was obviously not that relaxed.

"But you can't underestimate these two Japanese devils. These gangs of gods don't even want to face each other, and they don't spare their lives, just a bunch of desperate people!"

Chuanzi has been in southern Hebei for half a year, so he naturally has dealt with the security army. These bastards who forgot their ancestors may know that they have no reputation anymore. Their actions on the land of southern Hebei are even more brutal than those of the real Japanese. They have faced the infantry companies in the subdistrict several times. Their weapons and equipment are all seized by the Japanese army from the 29th Army, the Jinsui Army and other units. They are only stronger and not weaker than the regular army in the subdistrict, which is very difficult to deal with.

In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Lao Aba Pan defeated three of the four infantry squads of the Four Ranking Regiment and mixed them with several infantry squads of the Eighty Army, forming three combat clusters on the left, middle and right on the Zijing Mountain, which are considered to be three mixed infantry platoons.

Each infantry platoon has 4 submachine guns, 5 semi-automatic rifles, 30 rifles, 2 Type 96 machine guns, an MG42 machine gun and 1 60-force.

He himself had an infantry squad of the Four-Road Regiment and three flexible and mobile sharpshooters as the last reserve team of the "Panzhai Guard Company". Only when that position could not be defended would the reserve team support it.

Officers at all levels of the Four Corps have been deeply influenced by the Tang regiment. Perhaps few people can have the strong personal combat power as strong as Tang Dao, but their tactical styles that never easily open up their cards have been learned very well.

From the beginning, Zheng Yunqiu turned over the table and stopped playing. He invested in his three infantry companies at one time, although this guy was forced.

However, 600 puppet troops were invested at one time, plus a regular Japanese army with an infantry squad, and then 12 heavy machine guns and 6 Type 82 mortars were deployed one after another. The formation was really terrifying.

Of course, the second Japanese are also good at Japanese, but they are not stupid either. After entering the Chinese position at the foot of the mountain, which is hard to see clearly from the mountainside, they all bent down and waited for their firepower to cover up first.

12 heavy machine guns and 6 mortars opened fire, causing the mud and various shrubs to fly around on the hillside. From a distance, it looked like a beautiful scroll with ink balls painted on it, completely destroying the beauty.

China did not respond.

Ten minutes later!

"Yoxi! Zheng Jun, you can send an attack signal. The Chinese here may not be as many as you and I imagined. Their main forces should be resisting our main force on the front battlefield." The Japanese Army Lieutenant looked at the telescope for a while and finally made a decision.

"Okay!" Zheng Yunqiu had no idea that he was the highest commander in this position. He nodded in agreement and signaled to the communication soldiers who were following him to fire the signal flares.

A red signal flare was hit into the sky.

More than 600 puppet troops, led by officers at all levels, began to move forward!

200 meters...150 meters...100 meters....

As the distance got closer, the puppet soldiers who were surging adrenaline stimulated by the ocean became a little guilty.

But at this moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired, and even if you feel guilty, you can be even better if you feel guilty.

It was on the mountain facing Zheng Yunqiu.

"Brothers, fight with me and kill Tuba and get a bounty!" A burly man waved the shell gun in his hand and took the lead in rushing.

He was a guy from a bandit and served as the second lieutenant platoon leader in the puppet army. Seeing that he was fierce, Zheng Yunqiu specially asked him to serve as the platoon leader of the sharp knife platoon under his command. Whenever he went to the countryside to rob, he was the guy who rushed to the front and led his team to conquer the defense line of the Guangping County Armed Forces Brigade, massacred more than 20 regular troops and more than 50 militiamen.

On the assassination list of the Guangping Division's anti-traitor team, this guy became the second-ranked second in the ranking list after Zheng Yunqiu as a puppet army lieutenant, which shows how hated him in the 80th Army of Guangping County.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yunqiu and his backbone of the security army were very clear about how much hatred they were. They usually lived in the military camp, and even if they went out, there were at least a dozen people to protect them. The military work team members who sneaked into the county town were not enough, so they could not do anything to them.

This time, before sending troops, Zheng Yunqiu promised that as long as he wins this battle, he will be his regiment commander, and this is his guard company commander. How can this person not willingly work hard?

The puppet soldiers had the lead, and they all stood up straight and flattened their guns, and started to rush forward while shooting.
To be continued...
