After knocking out the Japanese machine guns and artillery, he did not need to develop in depth. Except for a feint attack in the direction of the warehouse with one force, the rest of the troops fought from the inside out. After explaining the company commander, Li Ziyuan added a sentence at the end. Even if the troops are exhausted, as long as they can complete the mission, they will win.

After explaining the company commander, Li Ziyuan himself personally commanded the rest of the troops, from the left flank and the front to the freight yard, little by little. In order to avoid casualties when attacking, Li Ziyuan still decided to move as close to the direction of the freight yard as possible, even if it was a feint, he had to do it as much as possible.

Just when Li Ziyuan was in the direction of Nanguan, he felt a distance of less than 300 meters from the freight yard. Several mortar explosions suddenly sounded in the direction of Xiguan, and then dense gunfire rang out from the Xiguan side. Changzhi City, which was in a deep sleep, was completely awakened all of a sudden.

The Xiguan direction took the lead according to the plan, but Li Ziyuan's side did not immediately launch a feint, but unswervingly moved forward little by little. But at this time, he had been awakened and was on high alert, and the Japanese troops in the freight yard where several searchlights had been turned on were no longer able to let him penetrate more distance forward.

Just when Li Ziyuan had already touched the edge of a ditch about 200 meters away from the freight yard, his good luck came to an end. With a Japanese garrison post in the freight yard, under the illumination of the searchlight, it was found that after almost touching the eighth road in front of him, the entire Nanguan freight yard direction immediately rang out dense gunfire.

As the light and heavy firepower of the Japanese army started first, the 92 heavy machine gun left behind by Li Ziyuan saw that it had already started in front of him, and he immediately opened fire to cover the advance of the troops without the slightest hesitation. But Li Ziyuan, who only had a heavy machine gun, could not suppress the Japanese firepower that had fortifications to rely on no matter what.

The Japanese army's dense machine-gun fire hit the dusty riverside where Li Ziyuan was hiding. The Japanese mortar shells that fell from time to time also forced the heavy machine gun positions to move continuously. However, although he couldn't lift his head under the pressure of the Japanese fire, with the fire of the Japanese artillery, Li Ziyuan also accurately locked the Japanese artillery position that had not been found before.

Li Ziyuan's side fought earth-shattering, but in terms of the real attack, it was only a bluff. In addition to the fact that all light and heavy weapons were fired, and the trumpeters kept blowing the trumpets of the charge, he only let the troops lie down on the riverside and shoot at the Japanese troops. At the same time, let the troops along the riverside on the spot, immediately dig foxholes, and put on a stubborn appearance.

The two mortars of the Japanese army hit accurately and hard, and now the problem is not to attack, but to give the troops a bunker. Otherwise, relying only on this shallow and flat riverside as a cover, it would take less than half an hour for your own troops to suffer a large number of casualties.

In addition to these actions, the only thing Li Ziyuan did was to arrange for the sharpshooter he had dug up from the repair station to knock out the two searchlights with two shots. Li Ziyuan's pretense of momentum was to cover the actions of the infiltration troops on the flank. How can you create pressure on the devil if you don't touch it?

The charge on the Nanguan side was mixed with dense gunfire, and the explosion of mortar shells and grenades was constantly heard in the Xiguan. It turned out that because the Japanese army imposed a curfew, he entered the sleeping Changzhi City early, and he was awakened from his sleep at this moment. The dense gunfire from two directions made the Japanese puppet army not know how many eight roads came around.

There is a heavy machine gun on the south side, which must have come from the old Eighth Road in the mountains. But there are mortars to the west, and they must be the main force of the Eighth Road. The headquarters of the 36th Division in Changzhi City didn't know that so many Eighth Roads had suddenly emerged from there. Although there are quite a few Japanese puppet troops inside and outside Changzhi City at the moment, the problem is that there are too many places that need to be defended.

At least at the airport and in several other directions, there is absolutely no room to let your guard down. At the same time, the city where the division headquarters was stationed also needed to be defended, so as not to rush in from the unknown number of eight roads. At present, Changzhi City is stockpiling weapons and ammunition for the Japanese army in the entire southeast of Jinjin, and it also needs to be garrisoned.

In the absence of knowing exactly how many Eighth Routes were coming, the response of the 36th Division should be said to be very cautious. The chief of staff of the 36th Division personally called the defenders outside the city and told all the garrison troops to hold on until dawn. Wait until after dawn to find out the cause and make adjustments to the deployment.

As to whether the Xiguan and Nanguan can be held, the regimental headquarters of the 36th Division is still very confident. Since the Japanese army entered Changzhi City, it has continuously begun to build city fortifications. Especially after the opening of the Baijin railway line, a large number of permanent fortifications and semi-permanent fortifications were added in the direction of Nanguan.

What's more, in the first two days, the division strengthened some of the retreating troops into the defense of Nanguan Station. No matter how many came from the Eight Roads, they didn't have the weapons to attack the fortifications, and they didn't even have enough ammunition. With the weapons in their hands alone, it is impossible to attack in either direction.

After gunfire rang out in both the Nanguan and Xiguan directions, Lieutenant General Jing Guan, commander of the 36th Division, first judged that the Eighth Route was adopting their usual tactics of luring snakes out of the hole and encircling the points to send reinforcements, and giving full play to their so-called advantage in night battles. Just wait for yourself to send your troops to sweep them up, and then hit yourself in an ambush.

Since there are a large number of fortified groups in both directions, the most important thing to do at the moment is to use these fortification groups and drag the battle until dawn. When the Eight Routes participating in the battle were exhausted, the troops in the concentrated city defeated this bold Eight Roads in one go.

However, although the Japanese army was very cautious in reinforcements, the Japanese army mobilized the artillery in the city and concentrated artillery fire in the direction of Xiguan and Nanguan to suppress firepower. In the freight yard of Nanguan Station, the mountain artillery that had been silent was also fired in the city after the artillery fire in the city was fired, and finally opened fire to cooperate with two mortars to support the operation.

This mountain gun uses grenade shotguns and poses a considerable threat to frontal attacking troops. With the cooperation of light and heavy machine guns, Li Ziyuan, who was pressed, had no power to fight back at all. However, in the face of the intensive firepower suppression of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan was not in a hurry. Anyway, for him, it's not really about taking this huge freight yard.

Besides, there is a company of its own, which is infiltrating the Japanese army on the flank. It's lively here, but it's quiet there. This shows that the troops infiltrated from the flanks and detoured have not yet been discovered by the Japanese troops in the freight yard. As long as they can infiltrate and enter, it is not certain who will kill the deer.

The earth-shattering sound of Li Ziyuan's fight in the front here, the company he had deployed before that had infiltrated from the right flank had carefully cut the first barbed wire with the captured Japanese bolt cutters, and was touching the second barbed wire at full speed. Although this company commander is not a scout, he is very skilled in tactics from the old Red Army.

At the same time, some time ago, Li Ziyuan ignored the three nails planted by the Japanese puppet army in the eastern mountains of Hubei. Putting all his energy into training his troops, his former slaves were also fully revealed in this battle. There is no hope for a strong attack, but the infiltration tactic Li Ziyuan has focused on rehearsing.

At the same time that the main force of this company passed through the first barbed wire, its sharp knife squad had already penetrated into the second barbed wire. After the knife squad passed through the second barbed wire, the soldiers quickly touched the blockade side in two ways, outside the pillbox where the two shooting boundaries intersected.

If these two pillboxes are not killed, once the infiltration troops are discovered by the Japanese army, the firing range of this pillbox can block the front of this company's attack at the first time. Moreover, according to Li Ziyuan's deployment, if this company wants to develop in depth, these two bunkers are also a threat that cannot be avoided.

After touching the outside of these two bunkers, the squad leader glanced at the several soldiers brought by his deputy squad leader over there, and they had also touched the position. Drawing his saber from behind, he led the warrior with either a broadsword or a bayonet drawn by him, and rushed in with one kick open the door of the pillbox.

Rushing in, he didn't say a word, and with a single sword, he knocked down a Japanese soldier who saw the bunker door being kicked open and was stunned at these strange intruders, perhaps preparing to go out to do something. He didn't know where to get this saber, which he often sharpened to an extremely sharp saber, and split the Japanese soldier in two with an oblique knife. The blood on the Japanese soldier's body splashed his whole body and his face.

He didn't care about wiping the blood that was splashed all over his face, and he slashed sideways and tried to stab him with three or eight guns, but the long body of the gun made him unable to perform in the narrow bunker, and the head of the Japanese soldier was cut off. And the fighters who rushed in from behind him also used their bayonets in their hands to deal with the remaining three Japanese soldiers.

The five Japanese soldiers in the bunker were neatly dealt with here, and the other soldiers led by his deputy squad leader also used bayonets and broadswords to cleanly deal with the three Japanese soldiers in the other bunker before alarming the Japanese troops in other directions. Even the battle over there ended earlier than on his side.

Seeing that the deputy squad leader over there had also solved the problem, the sharp-knife squad leader picked up the Type 96 light machine gun in the bunker, swept away the magazine in the bunker, and immediately took his troops to take the lead in developing in depth. The main force of the company behind him also rushed along the passage he had opened, and all of them quickly infiltrated the freight yard.

At this time, the Japanese army, which was trying its best to deal with Li Ziyuan in the front, had not yet discovered that its right flank had infiltrated the eighth road of a company. Although there were a lot of frontal attacks, the real intention was only to divert their attention. Li Ziyuan's real intentions were all on flank infiltration. In this case, the price to be paid for a strong attack is too great, and Li Ziyuan is not so two.

After the first step was successfully touched into the freight yard, the company commander did not delay in the slightest. He immediately commanded his company to take advantage of the cover of the materials piled up in the freight yard and pounced on the Japanese artillery position, which was less than 50 meters away from him and was busy firing at the front. At the same time, with a platoon of troops, all the grenades were carried directly into the core fortifications of the Japanese army in front of the freight yard.

However, his movements, compared to his sharp knife class, were somewhat slower. Before he could get close to the Japanese artillery position, his sharp knife squad leader had already rushed into the Japanese artillery position with his sharp knife squad. The machine gun in the hand of the crazy squad leader swept at the busy Japanese artillery, and directly knocked down five or six Japanese artillerymen.

After emptying the magazine, he threw the light machine gun in his hand to the fighters beside him. After throwing out another grenade, he pulled out his broadsword and rushed directly, and the stunned Japanese artillery rushed over. The warriors beside him also rushed in with rifles with bayonets on them, or with broadswords.
