After receiving the report of the surrender of the people led by Shinichi Haraguchi sent by Ding Wei, Zhang Cheng, who had been lurking in the valley outside Taiyuan City, was also stunned, although Shinichi Haraguchi was not the wing commander of the combat unit, but he was also from the extremely stubborn and tough Fifth Division, how could he have a fearless bushido spirit under the influence of his ears and eyes!

But after thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, no matter where there are people who are afraid of death, but they can't see his nature when they are not cornered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Moreover, the Japanese militarist education only fooled the people at the bottom, and the middle and high-level of the Japanese army knew what was going on, and it was nothing more than an excuse to invade other countries.

However, it was still very welcome for Haraguchi Shinichi's initiative to surrender to Zhangcheng, and he immediately ordered Ding Wei to properly protect Haraguchi Shinichi's life, and it would definitely be useful when calling on the Japanese army to oppose the war in the future.

After returning to the battlefield outside Xinzhou City, after taking care of 56 Japanese prisoners including Haraguchi Shinichi, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected all the weapons of the Japanese army.

Because the 50 trucks in front of them were all carrying heavy materials, they were not hit by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and the trucks and materials were very well preserved.

When the soldiers opened the curtain of a truck and saw the supplies inside, they were all stunned, and boxes of 38 big lids filled an entire truck.

The soldiers immediately became excited, and then they opened all the compartments of the trucks, and all kinds of weapons and ammunition filled the compartments of the fifty trucks, including 75mm field guns, mountain guns, Type 92 infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and crooked light machine guns...... In addition to heavy artillery, all kinds of weapons, everything, all-encompassing.

Ding Wei asked Shinichi Haraguchi why the Japanese army transported so many supplies to Xinzhou, but Shinichi Haraguchi said that the recruits were replenished to the defenders of Xinzhou, and the weapons and ammunition were transported to the 108th Division stationed in Datong.

It turned out that these weapons and ammunition were replenished for a whole division of the Japanese army, so it is not surprising that there would be such a large amount, but the 108th Division was destined to not get this batch of supplies, and Ding Wei had already accepted them with a smile, so naturally there was no share of the 108th Division.

"Brigade commander, are we going to hand over so many weapons and ammunition to the division headquarters?" Li Moran asked cautiously, these weapons and ammunition are really too covetous, if possible, Li Moran still hopes that these weapons and ammunition can stay in the second brigade as much as possible.

"What are these words! Have you forgotten the discipline of the troops? All seizures will be returned to the public! "Political Commissar Chen Zhongchun is an old revolutionary with a very strong sense of principle.

"In this case, all the rifles will be handed over to the division headquarters, and all the field artillery and mountain artillery will be handed over, and the mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns will be left in the second brigade. Political commissar, don't be in a hurry to object, the division commander will laugh when he finds out, after all, the division commander has always encouraged us to capture more enemy weapons, and if we learn that all our captures are handed over to the division headquarters, we will definitely return a batch of weapons to reward us. Ding Wei said calmly.

Since Ding Wei said so, political commissar Chen Zhongchun has no opinion, after all, Ding Wei is Zhang Cheng's confidant general, knowing Zhang Cheng's temper, Ding Wei said that there is no problem, then it must be really no problem. Moreover, Chen Zhongchun also privately thought that the Second Brigade could grow faster, so that the First Brigade could be suppressed and become the first-class main force of the instructor.

The three of them reached an opinion, and the disposal of these 50 trucks of weapons and ammunition was decided, but how to transport them away with so many weapons and ammunition was also a troublesome matter, but fortunately, the prisoners of the Japanese army were all from the transport force, and almost everyone could drive, so the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army escorted them to drive these more than 50 trucks to a remote place and hide them.

At the same time, the Japanese troops in Xinzhou, who received a telegram from Shinichi Haraguchi asking for help, rushed towards the place where the battle broke out at the speed of a rapid march.

The Xinzhou garrison was the 109th Wing of the 119th Division, and the wing commander was Ishida Kanazo Daisa. Speaking of the 109th Division, the Chinese people may not be too familiar with it.

Although their achievements in the battlefield of aggression against China are also very good, they have always been hidden under the glory of the second, fifth, and sixth animal divisions, but in the Pacific theater of World War II, this division has made the Mi army, which has extremely superior equipment, suffer.

At the end of World War II, the 109th Division was ordered to defend Iwo Jima. The Japanese general in this battle was Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, with a strength of 23,000 troops, and the strength of the rice army was no less than 100,000. However, the 109th Division held on for a month and killed and wounded a large number of Mi troops.

According to the statistics of the Mi side, 22,305 Japanese troops were killed in this battle, 1,083 surrendered, and the Mi army suffered 28,686 casualties, which was the only battle in which the Mi army lost more than the Japanese army since the Pacific War.

This time, after Ishida Jinzo received a telegram from Shinichi Haraguchi asking for help, he attached great importance to it, and nearly 3,000 people from the main force of the wing went to the rescue, leaving only one infantry brigade in Xinzhou City to garrison.

I can't help but ignore Ishida's lack of attention, this time the Haraguchi Shinichi Transport Wing is transporting the entire 108th Division's weapons supplies, which can equip an entire division's troops, and if they are lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And in addition to weapons and ammunition, there are also a thousand recruits transported from the mainland, because the Eighth Route Army launched a large number of raids and harassment battles in the land of Jin Province, resulting in the Japanese troops are exhausted, and the strength is becoming more and more stretched, this more than 1,000 recruits can be regarded as a very powerful supplement to the Xinzhou defenders, once destroyed, the 119th Wing of Ishida Jinzang will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In front of the 119th Wing, there were ten trucks on the road, and the carriages were full of devil soldiers, and the people who could stand on the cars were the elite of the devils, about 300 people, and machine guns were also set up on the roof of the trucks, which fired into the mountains and forests on both sides of the road from time to time to make sure that there were no ambushes on the road.

Behind the truck were more than 30 motorcycles, each carrying three devil soldiers, and at the back were more than 2,000 devils who were out of breath who were running with them.

Although many of the devils ran out of breath, none of the soldiers were left behind, which shows that their physical strength is still very strong, and their short and lean bodies are very powerful.

"Now the Eighth Route is getting more and more bold, even the transport wing of the Imperial Army dares to ambush, after eliminating the ambush troops of the Chinese Army this time, we must organize several more powerful sweeps to wipe out the surrounding Eighth Route Army." Ishida thought to himself.

However, with the soldier's perception, Ishida Jinzang also noticed that the crazy actions of the Eighth Route Army during this time were somewhat unusual, as if there was some big conspiracy hidden, which made Ishida Jinzang feel faintly uneasy, as if it was an omen before the earthquake.

I have to say that Ishida Jinzang's hunch was still very accurate, but he couldn't imagine that the final goal of the Eighth Route Army was to attack Taiyuan.
