When the released military doctor arrived, he found that His Excellency the division commander had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and he could no longer even speak. After a hasty examination by several military doctors, he could only regretfully tell the chief of staff of the division and regiment on the side. His Excellency, the commander of the division, seems to have been severely stimulated, and it is very likely that it has caused a serious cerebral hemorrhage.

That is to say, even if His Excellency the lieutenant general is rescued, it is very likely that he will become a wasted person, and he will not be able to assume the position of division commander, but this can still be rescued. And the key problem is that the current Changzhi Army Hospital can't even find a tongue depressor.

Several pharmacies in the city, secretly controlled by the gendarmerie, were also looted by the Eighth Road. The division commander is now sent to the civilian hospital of the Chinese, where there may be medicine and doctors. Otherwise, in the army hospital, which no longer even has a stethoscope, it will not be able to treat it at all, and it will not even be able to make accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The Eighth Route cleaned the army hospital quite thoroughly this time, giving full play to their locust-like spirit of cleaning the battlefield. All the medical equipment and medicines, even the disinfectant powder, were looted. At present, the Changzhi Japanese Army Hospital is cleaner than any major cleaning.

That is to say, apart from the wounded and paramedics, only the house is now left, and nothing else is left. It is estimated that if it weren't for the heavy weight of those doors, windows and hospital beds, it would be impossible for those eight roads to carry away the doors, windows and hospital beds. Until new supplies of medicine and equipment are available, the current army hospitals are basically unable to carry out any treatment.

Hearing the report on the condition of the military doctor and the current situation of the army hospital, the senior officers of the 36th Division present were not only dumbfounded. On the one hand, he could only order all the troops under the division to eliminate this dirt and eight roads at all costs. On the one hand, he made a detailed report to the headquarters of the First Army and the North China Front on the condition of Jingguancheng and the current situation of the 36th Division.

And the dignified commander of the lieutenant general division of the Imperial Japanese Army, who was so angry that he had a stroke, was sent to a private hospital in Changzhi City for treatment. At least for the time being, he can't be allowed to die, otherwise who can guarantee that the base camp will not pursue the consequences? Having suffered a stroke in the brain after being attacked continuously, this Jing Guan is among the senior generals of the Japanese army, and it can be regarded as an unprecedented precedent, and it is estimated that there is no precedent for anyone to come.

At this time, I didn't know that Lieutenant General Jing Guan, the commander of the 36th Division, was actually angry by himself and had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, even if he was rescued, I am afraid that Li Ziyuan would be a waste. The Japanese puppet army reinforcements who had rushed over from Hubei and the southern mountains of Changzhi were mainly mobile troops deployed by the Japanese army, and He Sanliang, who was in the midst of a fierce battle.

Li Ziyuan knocked out the Japanese army's ammunition depot in Changzhi City, and he was very happy. He Sanliang's resistance battle here was quite hard. After another attack on Changzhi City, the Japanese mobile troops, who received the order to return quickly, came up to launch a group attack under the cover of light tanks.

Using his own mobility advantage, he tried to break through He Sanliang's resistance as soon as possible, reinforce and outflank the eight roads that sneaked up on Changzhi. And He Sanliang knows better that if this Japanese puppet army breaks through here. Li Ziyuan's side will face an extremely serious threat, and even face the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army. ‘

In order to ensure the smooth progress of Li Ziyuan's side, He Sanliang and Liu Lianming commanded the blocking troops to resist step by step, but in the absence of terrain to use, it was still extremely difficult in the face of the Japanese army's repeated charges. In particular, the two Type 94 light tanks of the Japanese army posed a great threat to He Sanliang's blocking battle.

It doesn't have artillery, it's just a machine gun. The armor on his body is also quite thin, but it is not lacking in steel core bullets that can be used to hit lightly armored targets, and He Sanliang's infantry machine gun bullets can penetrate. Although He Sanliang organized troops to use clusters* to blow up a Type 94 light tank.

But the remaining one still gave him a great threat to the blocking position. The most critical problem was that this reinforcement of the Japanese army was either cavalry or trucks. Although He Sanliang said that he adopted the method of alternate cover and fighting step by step. But the Japanese army's mobility ability still made him suffer. In the end, he still had to retreat to a village to support Li Ziyuan's reinforcements.

Fortunately, the Japanese cavalry was not numerous at this time, and it was not based on cavalry slashing tactics. At present, the cavalry of the Japanese army is basically an infantry on horseback, and his war horse is just a means for them to increase their mobility. In addition, Li Ziyuan added the configuration of machine guns to He Sanliang, so that He Sanliang was not disrupted by the cavalry when he retreated.

By the time Li Ziyuan led his troops to arrive, He Sanliang's actual blocking line was less than five kilometers away from Changzhi City. Moreover, the two companies that served as the blockade had already suffered a third of the casualties. He Sanliang's last blocking position had been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. At the same time, behind this Japanese mobile force, there were more Japanese puppet troops rushing over.

Seeing that the situation on He Sanliang's side was quite critical, Li Ziyuan couldn't care about anything else. Immediately ordered He Huizhang and Zhou Tong to concentrate all their firepower to cover He Sanliang and Liu Lianming. At the same time, he commanded his entire forces and launched a fierce attack from the flank of the Japanese mobile forces.

After receiving the order, He Huizhang and Zhou Tong briefly discussed. He Huizhang's mortar and the mountain cannon hit the infantry of the Japanese puppet army. And Zhou Tong added up the Japanese-made 13 mm anti-aircraft machine gun he carried, and among the Japanese puppet army infantry who attacked again, the two Type 94 light tanks that took the lead pulled the plate machine.

This car has thin skin and flesh, and the armor on its body can resist 79 rifle bullets, which is actually a Type 94 light tank of armored vehicles. I didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Eighth Route would be equipped with large-caliber machine guns that could penetrate themselves. The ultralight tank, which could not dodge, was immediately beaten into a colander by this anti-aircraft machine gun.

The Japanese army is equipped with this Type 94 ultra-light tank, although it does not care about the general rifle machine gun that lacks steel core bullets. But in the face of the thirteen-mm anti-aircraft machine guns used to fight aircraft, they were still vulnerable. This light tank, which basically didn't care about the various weapons in front of it, except for the cluster*, was directly paralyzed in front of the position.

Over there, He Huizhang commanded the mortar group, and in the face of the Japanese charging troops, he directly came with three rapid fires, blowing up the Japanese puppet army that was charging. On the Japanese heavy machine gun position, which was accurately hit by a single shot*, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was blown into parts along with the machine gunner.

Li Ziyuan concentrated all the light and heavy machine guns to cover, and the attack launched from the flank also caught the Japanese by surprise. The Japanese puppet army, who did not know that the ammunition depot in Changzhi City had been lost, was knocked down by Li Ziyuan's stormy machine gun fire. The artillery fire that had begun to extend on the side of Danghe Huizhang also blew up the number of trucks parked by the Japanese army.

Although there are many problems with this guy He Huizhang, there is one thing that is quite desirable. As a veteran, he knows what he needs to do most on the battlefield. If you don't knock out the Japanese trucks, it will definitely not be too easy for the troops to retreat. The troops walk several kilometers in an hour, and these trucks can catch up in a few minutes.

Only by knocking out the Japanese trucks will the troops be safer when they retreat. Therefore, after repelling the Japanese infantry attack, He Huizhang immediately concentrated artillery fire, and four rapid fire rounds of more than ten rounds* hit the position of the Japanese army's parked truck. Two-thirds of the 20 or so trucks of the Japanese army were blown up, and the mobility of the Japanese army was broken.

It was the first time I knew that the Japanese army in the original homeland Eighth Route would also use the tactics of fire when there was enough ammunition. In the face of Li Ziyuan's onslaught on the flank, almost regardless of the cost, he couldn't withstand the fire blow. Lost the puppet army that was half a beat slower, and retreated quickly all the way to the way it came.

Seeing that the Japanese puppet army had retreated, Li Ziyuan, who knew that the surrounding Japanese puppet army was now rapidly encircling here, mobilized troops to dismiss the puppet army that the Japanese army had lost after all the weapons were disarmed. At the same time, He Sanliang was immediately ordered to gather his troops and evacuate the entire perimeter of Changzhi City at the first time.

After converging with the Changzhi Independent Battalion in the northeast of Changzhi City, they quickly evacuated the surrounding areas of Changzhi City. At this time, the highways from Changzhi to several counties in the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas were full of Japanese puppet troops moving towards Changzhi City, and the entire Shangdang Basin was in the midst of rumors.

After moving to Laodingshan District, Li Ziyuan did not make any stops in Laodingshan District. After getting up the weapons, ammunition and materials buried in the Laoding Mountains, they were covered by the Changzhi Independent Battalion and the troops of the Fourth Division, which received orders from the military region and cooperated with Li Ziyuan's actions. He has evacuated the Shangdang Basin, where Changzhi is located, and returned to the Ludong Army Division to rest and recuperate.

After covering the evacuation of Li Ziyuan's headquarters, the Changzhi Independent Battalion also carried the weapons, equipment and materials left to them after sharing the spoils with Li Ziyuan in accordance with the deployment and requirements of the Fourth Division, and jumped to the territory of Tunliu to rest and recuperate, so as to avoid the follow-up retaliation of the Japanese puppet army. By the time the Japanese puppet troops from all directions arrived at the city of Changzhi, not only Li Ziyuan's troops had already withdrawn from Changzhi, but even the Changzhi independent battalion had disappeared.

did not catch the trace of Li Ziyuan, just like the crazy Japanese puppet army, not only looking for Li Ziyuan around Changzhi City, but also mobilizing a large number of troops to sweep the entire Ludong Army Division. Trying to find this unusually cunning Eight Roads, Yixue Changzhi City was attacked three times in a row and suffered heavy losses, and the division commander was humiliated by the stroke of anger.

However, this time, the 36th Division, under the command of the chief of staff of the First Army, learned the lesson of being attacked by Li Ziyuan three times in a row. Sweep is sweeping, but he left a large number of heavy troops behind him to garrison various points, especially inside and outside Changzhi City, which has been attacked three times in a row, and a large number of Japanese troops are stationed.

For the sweep of the entire Ludong Army sub-division, a reinforced infantry brigade was drawn from each wing, attached to several thousand garrisons drawn from the occupied areas of the 36th Division, plus a large number of special forces and armed police, to form a four-way sweeping force. Adopt the method of attacking from north to south and passing through a sieve from west to east.

However, even if a large number of Japanese troops were left to garrison the rear, the Japanese army invested in the entire Ludong Army subdivision to sweep the troops, there were more than 3,000 Japanese troops plus nearly 10,000 people from the southeast of Jin, and even a large number of pseudo-garrisons drawn from the counties of Jinzhong. These Japanese puppet armies have strengthened a mountain artillery squadron and an independent mortar squadron on each road, with the puppet army as the main force, and the Japanese army as the backbone.

It's just that these Japanese puppet troops who were sent out to sweep up are now facing a serious dilemma. Because the largest ammunition depot in the entire southeast of Jin, the ammunition depot of the Fire Temple in Changzhi City was bombed, and the ammunition with it can be described as a serious shortage. Although a considerable amount of artillery was also sent, the problem was that the supply of shells was extremely insufficient.
