As Goto's 16th Wing was routed, the resistance of the Japanese became weaker and weaker. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Ding Wei's second brigade had tightly sealed off the entire Yuanping City, and Wang Qiandonkey's second battalion had occupied the Japanese headquarters, and the Japanese army lost its radio station and had no way to call for help, and completely became a turtle in the urn.

The Japanese army, unwilling to accept defeat, refused to accept the fate of defeat, and Goto Juro organized the Japanese counterattack several times, in a vain attempt to break through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, but in the face of the superior forces and firepower of the Eighth Route Army, it was only a dying struggle.

With the second brigade marching into the original flat city, the battle completely lost its suspense, the instructor kept in mind Zhang Cheng's teachings, opened the way with firepower, swept all the way to the Japanese army, Goto Juro, who had been stubbornly resisting, was killed by our army, when the battle ended, the Japanese army did not have a single soldier surrendered to our army, which shows how stubborn its militaristic ideology is.

After the battle, Zhang Cheng immediately arranged for the medical staff of the division's field hospital to treat the surviving soldiers of the 196th Brigade. According to statistics, only 873 officers and soldiers of the 196 Brigade, which was originally full of 5,000 people, survived the war.

Although Zhang Cheng admired the glorious martyrdom of Brigadier Jiang Yuzhen in history, due to party differences, Zhang Cheng was not too close to Jiang Yuzhen, so he just left after a hurried visit in the hospital.

At the same time, just as the 1st and 2nd Brigades were teaching to sweep through Yuanping and completely wipe out the remnants of the Japanese army, the 4th and 5th Brigades led by the political commissar also captured Laoxian County, completely sweeping the mixed 15th Brigade into the garbage heap of history.

At that time, because the troops led by the political commissar were siege battles, Zhang Cheng transferred the divisional artillery brigade to the command of the political commissar, which became the decisive hand in the battle of Laoxian.

After nightfall, the political commissar ordered Sun Youdao's artillery brigade to carry out artillery strikes on Lao County, where the Japanese army was entrenched, and gave full play to the advantages of our army's large artillery and strong automatic firepower, intending to crush the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

With Sun Youdao's order, the artillery brigade had a full 150 mountain guns and 300 artillery pieces to cover and strike at Laoxian, and in an instant, the entire Laoxian County was covered by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army, which was caught off guard, fell into a smoke of gunpowder.

The commander of the 30th Wing of the Japanese Army, Tetsuro Inokura, found that his troops were completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and he sent a telegram to the brigade commander Seiichiro Shinohara, who did not know that Harahira had also been attacked by his instructor, for help, while organizing the defense of his troops.

As a result, as soon as Inokakura Tetsuro Osa landed on the top of the city, he found that countless shells smashed into his defensive position like heavenly fire meteors, and his heart was as cold as ice, he didn't understand how the Eighth Route Army could have so many artillery, looking at the density of the shells, it was not much worse than the field artillery wing of the Japanese army!

The artillery brigade shells seemed to be free of money, and there was no pause to constantly smash on the Japanese positions, and the Japanese troops at this time were brave and brave, but the rigidity of tactics was also notoriously dead, and without the order of the commander, the Japanese soldiers stayed in the positions on the city wall, and were surrounded by the shelling of the Eighth Route Army, and a shell killed a large area.

Sun Youdao looked at the cannonballs that exploded in the distance like fireworks, not to mention how beautiful that mood was, he danced while issuing the ranging command, as cool as drinking a cold drink on a hot day, as if he was about to fly into the sky.

On the wall of Laoxian County, the explosion of shells and the wailing and pain of the Japanese army converged into a majestic symphony, and the devils who had been invincible and evil-doers since the July 7 Incident were ravaged and torn apart by endless shells, and finally got their due reward.

Seeing the soldiers of his own unit wailing and tearing apart in the artillery fire, Inokakura Tetsuro Dazuo knew that he could not go on like this, and hurriedly organized more than 1,000 elite Japanese troops to rush out of the city gate, in a vain hope of rushing into the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army with a strong firepower advantage and annihilating the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army.

However, Inokakura Tetsuro Osa underestimated the instructor's firepower, and before the elite Japanese army could rush into the instructor's artillery position, they were beaten by the instructor's heavy firepower battalion and scurried around.

The heavy firepower battalion destroyed itself and the Green Horse Cavalry made another meritorious service, with more than 200 light and heavy machine guns and 37-bar and 37-style fire strikes, that scene was simply miserable.

The elite troops of the Japanese army died before they could get out of the division, wailing in pain in the machine gun position of the instructor, and seeing that the situation was not good, Inokakura Tetsuro Osa hurriedly ordered the troops out of the city to withdraw to the city quickly.

With the retreat of the Japanese army, the elite soldiers of the Fourth Brigade followed the Japanese army into the city under the cover of artillery fire.

"Tick Tick Tick...... Tick Tick Tick Tick ......"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

With the city gate in hand, the political commissar immediately seized the opportunity, and more than a dozen trumpeters sounded the charge horn at the same time, and the whole army of the instructor attacked, and under the cover of artillery fire, they poured into the city gate one after another.

Knowing that the fall of Laoxian was imminent at this time, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to burn the wing's flag, radio stations, code books, maps, military documents and other precious items, and then led the remnants of the army to desperately break through to another city gate.

However, the Japanese army's decisive breakthrough was only a dying struggle before death, and the instructor had already surrounded the city gate, how could it be so easy for the Japanese army to stand out.

Different from the Kuomintang army, in the past, Zhang Cheng's troops often left a "life gate" for the opponent to break through after attacking the city, after all, they were all Chinese compatriots, and Zhang Cheng did not want to do things desperately.

But it was completely different for the Japanese army, under Zhang Cheng's strict order, the instructor had only one means for the Japanese army, and that was - to kill them all!

In the end, with no hope of breaking through, the wing commander Tetsuro Inokura chose to commit suicide by disembowelment, and all of his troops were killed by the Eighth Route Army, except for a few logistics soldiers who had lost their courage to surrender to the instructor.

However, the dying resistance of the Japanese army still brought certain casualties to the instructor, at this time the Japanese army was at the peak of the bushido spirit, after the hopelessness of breaking through, the Japanese army with the heart of death launched a suicidal charge to the Eighth Route Army, and the defense line of the Eighth Route Army was even crumbling by the Japanese army for a time.

Fortunately, the grassroots officers and party members and cadres of the Eighth Route Army played a mainstay role at the critical moment, they carried light machine guns and 37 bars to desperately block the suicidal charge of the Japanese army, and finally won time for the follow-up troops.

At this point, the extremely arrogant Japanese Kwantung Army Chahar sent a column to form a mixed 15th Brigade in Yuanping and Laoxian and was completely annihilated by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, and a total of eight Japanese officers and soldiers under the brigade commander Seiichiro Shinohara, were captured, and the rest of the nearly 10,000 devils were all killed.
