At the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army in Changzhi Castle, Yuichiro Uda was shocked when he received a report that the northern city had been attacked by enemy troops.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the situation is not good. I'm afraid Beicheng can't hold it, I urgently contacted the third squadron of Beicheng just now, and I can't contact Yusuke Numata anymore! Without waiting for Yuichiro Uda to send someone to Beicheng to see which side of the men and horses were attacking Changzhi, the chief of staff of the brigade in charge of staff affairs on the side of the headquarters, Hidekazu Ota, walked up to Yuichiro Uda in a hurry and said urgently.

Yuichiro Uda frowned and said, "Nani? Can't get in touch with Yusuke Numata? Can't get in touch in just a few minutes? ”。

At this time, without waiting for Ota Xiuhe and Captain to answer, a Japanese staff officer hurriedly reported to Yuichiro Uda: "Your Excellency Shaoza, the defenders of Beicheng have been contacted." The north city gate was lost, and the enemy army besieging the city was the Eighth Route Army, which may have broken through the Hukou Pass and entered the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin! ”。

"Nani?" Yuichiro Uda and Hidekazu Ota both said in unison. In particular, Hidekazu Ota suddenly thought that not long ago, Yuichiro Uda sent people out of the city to contact the 2nd Infantry Brigade in Lucheng, and now it has been a long time since he has seen the communication between Changzhi and Lucheng.

"Not good! Your Excellency Shao Zuo, we were unable to contact the 2nd Infantry Brigade in Lucheng by radio before, and the soldiers sent out to check the telephone line in Lucheng did not reply. Maybe Lucheng was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, or maybe Lucheng has been lost! Otherwise, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will not bypass Lucheng and be able to kill me under the city of Changzhi! "It is worthy of being the chief of staff of Yuichiro Uda, Hidewa Ota said urgently based on various situations.

Yuichiro Uda also came back to his senses at this time, if it was really the troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it would be troublesome.

Even His Excellency Mano Goro Osa, who commanded the 1st Infantry Brigade to defend Licheng, was captured by the new regiment, and judging from the sound of guns and cannons in Beicheng heard so far, the opponent's artillery fire is very strong, and the machine gun firepower is also very large!

"Order the infantry squadron directly under the brigade headquarters to go out of the brigade headquarters, and urgently set up a blocking front on the main street of Beicheng 700 meters away from the brigade headquarters, and be sure to resist the Eighth Route Army's assault on our brigade headquarters from Beicheng! Hurry up and drop! Yuichiro Uda couldn't take care of it at this time, it was too late to mobilize troops from other city gates to reinforce the brigade headquarters, and he could only mobilize the strength of an infantry squadron at the guard brigade headquarters to go out to block the attack.

I saw the chief of staff of the brigade on the side, Ota Hidekazu, and said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, I will personally fight the brigade to block the attack and resist the Chinese army that entered the city from the northern city!" Please ask Your Excellency Shao Zuo to urgently request reinforcements from the imperial army garrison in the direction of Huguan and Gaoping! Huguan is the closest to us, and you can reach Changzhi in about ten minutes! ”。

"Yo Xi, Ota-kun, I see. Then please, you must stop the Zhina army that is entering the city from the north gate! Hold on for fifteen minutes, and we'll have reinforcements inside and outside to attack each other! Yuichiro Uda nodded and said, Hidekazu Ota's suggestion is good.

At least, Yuichiro Uda knew that the enemy army besieging the city was the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which had killed the three princes of the empire, and was strong.

Otherwise, it would not have caused trouble among the Imperial Army troops in Jin Province.

"Please rest assured! The lowly will definitely stop the onslaught of the Chinese army! Hidekazu Ota paused and reassured, and then urgently sent out the brigade headquarters with the reserve forces directly under the control of the brigade headquarters to deploy and block the main street of the north city.

At this time, after Hidekazu Ota left, Yuichiro Uda hurriedly ordered a Japanese staff officer to ask for help from the Japanese troops of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 78th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Huguan.

However, by this time, the telephone line had been cut off, and Yuichiro Uda could only contact the Japanese defenders in Huguan by radio.

Just when Yuichiro Uda knew that it was the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that was attacking the city, he panicked and dispatched troops to block the troops commanded by Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong's follow-up troops had already rushed from Lucheng to the outside of Changzhi City.

In addition to leaving more than 100 soldiers to guard the captured Japanese position, Zhang Dabiao directly led the remaining more than 700 people along the main street street leading to the Japanese squadron headquarters in the north of Changzhi City.

Li Yunlong joined the battle with the rest of his men and horses, and the general headquarters of the field was set up at the head of the northern city.

"Regiment Commander, the reserve troops we brought have all joined the siege of the west, east and south cities, pinning down the Japanese defenders in the direction of these three cities. The commander of the first battalion sent someone to report that he had reached a place less than 700 meters away from the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army. There is a squadron of devils who are stationed on the main street to resist stubbornly, and the battle continues! "A herald soldier went up to the head of the northern city from the city from the city wall and along the road of the city wall, and saluted and reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay!" Order Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie to speed up, and be sure to annihilate the enemy! We don't have much time. The devil garrison in Huguan is bound to get an urgent request for help from the Changzhi Japanese army, and in about ten minutes, the Changzhi Japanese army must be completely annihilated! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" The herald soldier stood up and saluted, then turned around and galloped away to give the order. At this time, the chief of staff of the Japanese brigade in Changzhi, Hidekazu Ota, was miserably commanding a squadron of devils to block the attack.

On the opposite side, Zhang Dabiao commanded a new regiment of more than 700 soldiers, and under the double blow of Wang Chengzhu's infantry artillery and mortars, they suffered heavy casualties.

Due to the hasty blockade, the street barrage fortifications built by Hidekazu Ota under the command of Japanese soldiers were completely ineffective.

After a burst of artillery fire, the street blocking fortifications built by the Japanese army under the command of Hidekazu Ota were blown to pieces.

"Chief of Staff, I can't stand it! There are less than fifty of us left. The artillery fire of the Chinese army is too fierce, what should I do? A wounded Japanese soldier stumbled in front of Hidekazu Ota and said miserably!

Ota Hidewa saw that Zhang Dabiao's offensive was in full swing in front, and the Japanese soldiers on his side were constantly shot and killed, and he was very shocked by the strong firepower and combat power of the new regiment.

"Baga, damn it! Withdraw, withdraw! "Hidekazu Ota could no longer hold back, and could only direct the remnants of the Japanese army to retreat to the headquarters, where there was a strong wall as a cover, and he could hold out for a while, waiting for reinforcements from Huguan to arrive.

The Japanese soldiers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said suddenly: "Hai, chief of staff!" ”。 With the order of Ota Hidekazu, the remaining more than 50 Japanese troops desperately withdrew to the headquarters of the city brigade, while Zhang Dabiao took advantage of the situation to chase Ota Hidekazu's tail and kill him.
