Chapter 349 Breaking the Jinpu Line III

Early the next morning, the commander of the 25th Wing of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army, stationed in Guancheng, soon received a report that an infantry brigade of the 16th Division had been attacked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yokoyama Suorong knew that this incident was not trivial, and as soon as he received the report, he led a brigade to the place where the incident occurred, and when he saw that the officers and men of the entire brigade of the 16th Division were wearing only a hanging crotch cloth, he was completely angry.

Zhang Fengnian responded to the call of the chief, and pulled off the uniforms, hats, and boots of the Japanese army, leaving only an ugly crotch cloth for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

"Yaga! The damned guerrillas were so rampant that they not only attacked the transport columns of the Imperial Army, but also stripped the Imperial Army of their clothes and humiliated the warriors, all of them killed me! ”

"Choke!"

Yokoyama Suoei roared angrily, then drew his Osasaber and slashed at a large tree beside him with a constant swing to vent his anger.

After venting fiercely, Yokoyama Suorong calmed down his excitement, and he ordered the troops to carefully check the surrounding situation, trying to judge the retreat direction of the sneak attack troops through clues, and pursue the sneak attack troops.

It was not surprising that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army had been accustomed to sneak attacks on Hengshan Suorong, but recently their sabotage operations have become more frequent and larger, and the pressure on the independent mixed 13th Brigade stationed along the Jinpu Railway has increased.

It was precisely because of the frequent sneak attacks by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army that it became more and more difficult for the Japanese troops on the Xuzhou and Taierzhuang fronts to replenish their supplies, which made the troops fighting on the front line very angry, and kept calling to question, and the brigade commander, Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi, was under great pressure and could only frequently dispatch troops to sweep along the Jinpu line.

However, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were deeply aware of the essence of guerrilla warfare, and when the Japanese army sent out a large army to sweep away, they withdrew into pieces and retreated to the mountains, and when they dispatched a small force, they gathered again and swallowed the small mouth of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could not defend against it.

Forced by the sneak attack tactics of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible to guard against them, and Yokoyama Suorong originally did not want to make a big deal out of the idea that more things were better than less, but this time the sneak attack of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army was really too big, and they actually attacked an entire army column of the Imperial Army and killed all the officers and men of a complete brigade of the Imperial Army.

Yokoyama Sueei didn't have to think about it, he could know how angry Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago Nakajima, the commander of the 16th Division, would be when he received the report of the attack, and how strong pressure he would exert on the brigade commander, Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi.

In order to prevent Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi from taking advantage of himself, Yokoyama Suoei felt that he had to find out and exterminate the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who were secretly attacking the imperial army's columns, so that he could deal with Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi.

It's just that Zhang Fengnian invited other brother troops to help the third battalion carry weapons before, but he didn't expect that there was a mistake, and several troops came from different directions, which confused the Japanese army's exploration.

Through the exploration of the footprints on the ground around him, Yokoyama Suorong confirmed that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army had gathered from several directions, which made Yokoyama Suorong feel a headache, and such a messy clue made it impossible for him to judge the correct direction of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

However, this sneak attack incident is too big, even if it is difficult to exterminate the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, Yokoyama Suorong can only bite the bullet. He called the wing headquarters and mobilized other Japanese puppet troops stationed in Guancheng, and this time he made up his mind to launch a sweep against the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and completely wipe out the surrounding guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

A wing of 3,800 Japanese troops launched a sweep to the surrounding area, so Yokoyama Suoei still felt unsafe, and then reported to the brigade commander, Major General Yoshizawa Tadayu, about the attack on the 16th Division's troop transport column, saying that the 25th Wing would launch a sweep of the surrounding districts and counties of Guancheng, and asked Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi to be ready for reinforcements at any time.

After receiving the report, Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi suddenly "buzzed" in his head and almost fainted, and the entire infantry brigade was easily wiped out by the Chinese guerrillas, which was a rare heavy loss for the Japanese army!

Thinking that the 16th Division would definitely attack himself after receiving the report, Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi felt extremely aggrieved, and then he vented his anger on Yokoyama Suorong, scolded him, and ordered him to find out the damned Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops, and the main force of the brigade could be reinforced at any time.

Although he was scolded by Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi, Yokoyama Suoei, who had been guaranteed reinforcements, was completely relieved, and after gathering all the forces of the wing, he followed a path taken by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army to pursue the past.

A day had passed since the sneak attack on the military column, and at this time, Zhang Fengnian was leading the soldiers of the third battalion to escort the weapons and equipment of the entire Japanese brigade back to Shuangmiao Village, where the regimental headquarters of the 23rd Regiment was stationed.

"The battalion commander, the battalion commander, the regiment commander and the political commissar personally greet you!" Zhou Dakui saw from a distance that a large group of people at the entrance of the village were looking into the distance, led by Hu Tianming, the head of the 23rd Regiment, and He Yunsheng, the political commissar of the 23rd Regiment.

Zhang Fengnian looked at it when he heard this, hey, isn't it the head of the regiment and the political commissar, I didn't expect them all to come out to greet him, what an honor this is!

"Xiao Zhang, is this seizure big?" There were still more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, and the head of the regiment Hu Tianming shouted from afar.

"Commander, there are a lot of seizures, come and take a look!" Zhang Fengnian replied loudly.

"Hey, I'll come over here." When Hu Tianming heard that a lot of seizures had been seized, he immediately couldn't stand still, and rushed forward with political commissar He Yunsheng and others.

"Haha! Good guys! All of them are heavy weapons, mountain artillery, field artillery, 92 infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, heavy machine guns, all of them! Hu Tianming looked at the soldiers in front of him pushing the cannons and heavy machine guns they were carrying, and he was completely excited, and exclaimed from time to time.

The other comrades were even more unbearable than him, and they all kept stroking around these heavy weapons, and their mouths were amazed and sighed.

Political Commissar He Yunsheng's eyes lit up when he looked at so many cannons, and he said excitedly: "Regiment commander, there are so many cannons, our regiment can build an artillery battalion to come out!" ”

"Hahaha! The commissar is right, Lao Tzu's army has only been open for a month, and now there is an artillery battalion! So far, the establishment of artillery battalions is only available to brigade-level troops, and our 23rd Regiment has eaten a lot of soup! Elder Hu said with a smile.

"Regiment commander, this is all from our three battalions, do you want to reward our three battalions with a little artillery?" Zhang Fengnian saw that these cannons were going to be used by the regiment commander to engage in some kind of artillery battalion, and he was suddenly anxious.

"Haha! You kid did a good job, I'll report it to the brigade commander for you right away, and the reward will definitely be indispensable to you, but don't think about these cannons. Your three battalions have captured such a big thing, I don't believe that you kid won't leave me a few hands. Captain Hu laughed, looking like Lao Tzu had already seen through you.
