"In that case, let's do it quickly!"

After saying this, Yang Chen continued: "I estimate that we will wipe out all the reinforcements of the devils, and their defenders in Zhoukou are less than 2,000 people.

Plus we intercepted their heavy artillery.

With our strength, if we attack with all our might, we will be able to recapture Zhoukou in an hour at most.

This time, I want to capture the two old devils Fujita Jin and Yoshika Ryosuke alive, and skin them and cramp them to pay tribute to the thousands of loyal souls of my Tiger Ben Regiment who died in Zhoukou!"

Immediately afterwards, Yang Chen turned his head to look at Li Jiufu and said, "Li Jiufu, you kid hurry up and bring some brothers to pave those blown up roads!" ”

…………

Talk about two ends.

Just when the Huben Regiment crippled the 9th Division of the Japanese Army at Hongyunling, and then divided into two routes, swept the Japanese army in Yangcheng with a devastating momentum, and ambushed the Devil Reinforcements and heavy artillery brigades and other troops in Sanlipo.

Two days ago, the 5,000 partial divisions sent out by Fujita also successfully arrived outside Luohe City.

In Luohe City, there is only a local security group of less than 2,000 people.

At that time, the Nationalist Government, with reinforcements drawn from other places, had not yet arrived.

When these 5,000 devil soldiers suddenly killed.

These 2,000 local motley defenders with low combat effectiveness were no match at all, and after less than two hours of fighting, they were routed by the Japanese army, and Luohe fell.

After the capture of Luohe, the Japanese army had actually cut off the Pinghan Railway.

The devil commander divided part of his forces and went to blow up the railway.

The main force was along the Pinghan Railway, waving its division northward and continuing to attack Xuchang.

Fortunately, at the time of the fall of Zhoukou, the 74th Army, which had retreated from the battlefield of Xuzhou, received an order from Shangfeng and galloped all the way from eastern Henan to Xuchang.

And rushed to Xuchang in front of this Japanese army.

As soon as the 74th Army entered the city, the vanguard of the Japanese army also appeared at the Xuchang Railway Station.

Xuchang originally had only one brigade and about 5,000 local troops stationed, and after General Wang Yaowu led the 74th Army to take over the defense of Xuchang, he immediately ordered these 5,000 local troops to strengthen the defense.

Especially the garrison of the train station.

Therefore, when the vanguard of the devils tried to raid the Xuchang railway station, they were met with a head-on attack by the local army.

Although the equipment of the local army is not very good, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is far from being comparable with that of the central army, it is better than the large number of people.

After a fierce battle, the devil failed to capture Xuchang Station.

At this time, the main forces of the 74th Army arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the follow-up main force of the devil also rushed to the outside of Xuchang City.

These 5,000 devils, although they easily captured Luohe, but because it was a strong attack, the battle of Luohe still suffered three or four hundred casualties.

Coupled with the hundreds of troops left behind to bomb the railway and guard the Luohe River, there were actually only about 4,000 people who went north to attack Xuchang at this time.

As a result, the enemy and the enemy began a fierce battle.

The 74th Army, known as the country. The first of the five main forces of the army. Not only is it well-equipped, but its combat effectiveness is second to none in the whole country and army!

Since the end of the Battle of Nanjing, the 74th Army has been relatively completely replenished and rested.

During the Battle of Xuzhou, when they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was basically over.

Although later, in the Battle of Eastern Henan, the Japanese army from Huainan to the north was blocked.

But the loss is not large, and it can be said that the strength still exists.

If the devils came with a reorganized division, they might not be opponents.

However, in the face of the 74th Army, which had only 4,000 Japanese invaders and a strength of more than 20,000 troops, it was more than enough to deal with it.

Therefore, although the offensive of this Japanese division was fierce, it was completely unable to capture Xuchang, which was defended by the 74th Army.

Moreover, the defenders of Xuchang fought more and more.

Because not long after the two sides started the battle, two Sichuan army divisions also came over in time to reinforce.

As a result, the pressure on the little devils has increased dramatically.

In addition, the Tiger Ben Regiment fought successfully in the Yangcheng area, and these devils received an order from the Zhoukou Headquarters and tried to withdraw.

However, how could General Wang Yaowu be willing to let them leave easily, and the Governor's Department asked them to find a way to recover the Luohe River and reopen the Pinghan Railway.

As a result, the number of troops was nearly 10 times that of the Japanese army. The army attacked from Xuchang and followed the devils in pursuit.

After several battles, 4,000 Japanese troops, and finally only more than 1,000 people were left to escape back to Luohe.

General Wang Yaowu immediately led his troops to encircle Luohe and surrounded these little devils in Luohe.

An army of thirty or forty thousand attacked day and night.

The Japanese army had no food and grass inside and no reinforcements from outside, and suffered heavy casualties for a while.

When Yang Chen led his troops to defeat and annihilate the Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade, and prepared to recapture Zhoukou.

Luohe has been recovered by the 74th Army and other units first, and this 5,000-strong Japanese division has been wiped out.

At this point, the total strength of the Japanese army in the entire Zhoukou area was less than 15,000 people.

Among them, nearly 12,000 people, because they were lured by the cavalry battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment, went all the way to the west.

At this time, they were still hurrying and rushing back to Zhoukou.

…………

The picture is pulled to Zhoukou.

Zhoukou County, the joint headquarters of the Japanese army.

The bad news came one after another, first the Luohe defenders were all wiped out.

This was followed by the annihilation of the ambushed troops at Sanlipo and the defenders of Heyangcheng, and then the annihilation of the heavy artillery brigade.

A series of bad news has almost made the two old devils, Fujita Jin and Ryosuke Yoshika, crazy.

The three division's chief of staff, Tian Yuan Toshio, and the chief of staff of the 9th Division, Nakagawa Hiroshi, two old devils, were also frightened by the cruel expressions of their respective division commanders who were about to eat people, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

The atmosphere of the entire command headquarters was extremely depressed for a while.

However, the real nightmare has just begun.

Because at this time, Yang Chen was taking the special operations brigade and the special agent battalion, as well as the second and third battalions of the second battalion and the third battalion of the good reconnaissance battalion that wiped out the rout of the devil's heavy artillery brigade, towards Zhoukou County.

Along with them, there are dozens of 150mm caliber heavy howitzers of the little devils.

When the Japanese scouts heard the news, they quickly rushed back to the city and rushed to report back.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, something is wrong, the enemy ...... A large number of enemy troops have appeared outside the city!" A young officer who was in charge of collecting front-line battle reports hurriedly ran into the headquarters with a heavy atmosphere, breaking the tense and embarrassing atmosphere here.

Fujita Jin, the old devil, frowned when he heard this, but he still didn't speak, but the chief of staff on the side, Tian Yuan Lixiong, said with a big change in his face: "Your Excellency the division commander, this must be the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment, we have less than 2,000 people left in our hands now, which is not enough to resist at all!"

Humble suggestion, let's give up here for the time being, and avoid the enemy for the time being!"

The commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Ji Jia Ryosuke, was a little moved when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Fujita Jin and said: "Fujita-kun, the chief of staff of the Tianyuan is reasonable, the main force of your department is still on the way, let's give up Zhoukou first and avoid the enemy for the time being!"

When your main force arrives, it's not too late to fight these enemies to the death! ”
