Yangbai Township, Wutai County, Shanxi, the position of the ninth battalion of the unknown regiment.

The main force of the nameless regiment is assembled in the area of Yangbai Township, and its ninth battalion is equipped with a 65MM field artillery company directly under the regimental headquarters to garrison Yangbai Township, while the second battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion are supplemented, and the mortar company, mountain artillery company, and armored platoon are deployed on the left and right sides of Yangbai Township, and the regimental headquarters of Fang Chaoqun is deployed on Wolf Mountain.

The troops of the Unknown Regiment relied on Yangbai Township, Heishiling, and Wolf Mountain to form a character deployment, and attacked Dongzhai Town in Ningwu County to end the Japanese army's independent mixed second brigade headquarters, killed the commander of the Major General Brigade Changoka Kanji and restored the number of the ninth battalion as the sharp knife of the unknown regiment, deployed in Yangbai Township, and the acting battalion commander Long Zhengze commanded the ninth battalion to fight.

Yangbai Township is a small township, the township government is very simple, if it were not for a dilapidated plaque hanging here, which reads Yangbai Township Township Government, no one would know that Yangbai Township exists.

After the nameless regiment received Sun Weiguo's order, the troops immediately began to station in Yangbai Township, and the troops of the ninth battalion were ordered to defend Yangbai Township, and the officers and soldiers immediately built fortifications.

Wutai County is the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which has not yet been conquered by the Japanese army, and the people have accepted the anti-Japanese propaganda, and they support the Eighth Route Army troops.

Especially after learning that it was Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division troops stationed in Wutai County, the people actively assisted the officers and soldiers in building fortifications.

The 9th Battalion only built two fortifications in Yangbai Township, one on the periphery of Yangbai Township and the other in Yangbai Township.

The two fortifications are connected by communication trenches, and according to the defensive tactics formulated by Sun Weiguo, the trenches are one meter wide and two meters deep, and the soldiers will have a small bench under their feet.

In the vicinity of these two fortifications there will be sub-forts, bunkers, and specially set up artillery positions.

The defense of Yangbai Township can be described as impregnable, and the morale of the officers and soldiers of the ninth battalion is even higher, they are waiting for the arrival of the devil soldiers, and the officers and soldiers are faintly swearing in their hearts that they will avenge the sacrifice of the battalion commander Gu Yan, and they will make Yangbai Township completely become the grave of the devil soldiers.

At 12 o'clock in the morning of 20 September, while the officers and men of the 9th Battalion of the Unknown Regiment were having lunch, the vanguard of the 49th Wing of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army rushed to Yangbai Township.

When the Japanese infantry squadron entered the first line of defense of the 9th Battalion of Yangbai Township less than 500 meters, the troops of the 1st Company of the 9th Battalion stationed in the first defensive position began to launch a fire attack, and the Japanese troops quickly began to withdraw.

At 1:10 p.m., the main force of the 49th Wing of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army entered Yangbai Township, and the commander of the 49th Wing, Mizuguchi Sara, immediately began to gather the three captains of his own unit.

As the captain of the 49th Wing of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, Saro Mizuguchi has a strong sense of honor, and the 1st Division has served as the garrison of Tokyo for a long time, which represents a great honor.

Even in the face of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division, Mizuguchi Sara was not afraid at all, he felt that the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division was far lower than that of his own troops.

"In Ningwu County, we have already fought with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and you have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and their combat effectiveness is nothing more than that. Now we have entered Yangbai Township, according to the report of the vanguard troops, the garrison of the Eighth Route Army in Yangbai Township, Wutai County is less than 1,000 people, if one of our wings is blocked here, it will be the greatest shame for our 49th Wing, now I order, the first brigade is equipped with the infantry artillery squadron of the wing, the mountain artillery squadron attacks from the flank, the second brigade is equipped with the anti-tank artillery squadron to attack from the front, and the third brigade serves as the reserve, before two o'clock, I want to enter Yangbai Township! ”

Mizuguchi Sara looked at the three Shaozuo captains with a serious gaze, and he said in an unusually stern tone with a determined expression on his face.

"Hey, Captain!" The three Shaozo captains immediately saluted Mizuguchi Sara, and they quickly returned to their units to begin preparations.

Japanese troops are good at offensive operations, and there are certain rules for their offensive operations.

Japanese units like to deploy strong attack units on the flanks, thus opening gaps in the defenders' defenses on the flanks and completely crushing the defenders.

Shuikou Sara directly deployed a reinforced brigade on the flank, and he wanted to open a gap directly on the flank, so as to quickly break through the defensive position of Yangbaixiang.

In Shuikou Shaluo's view, the number of troops of the Eighth Route Army in Yangbai Township was less than 1,000, while his troops were more than 3,000 people, and the capture of Yangbai Township was not a problem at all in Shuikou Shaluo's eyes.

A large number of Japanese troops began to prepare for departure, and their faces showed determined expressions.

At 1:15 p.m., an infantry squadron was to set off first, and this infantry squadron was to test the fire and attract the defenders to expose their firepower.

At this time, on the defensive position on the periphery of Yangbai Township, Long Zhengze, the acting commander of the ninth battalion, looked forward with a telescope, and a calm expression appeared on his face.

THE FOUR 65MM FIELD GUNS ATTACHED TO THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE NAMELESS REGIMENT WERE DEPLOYED ON THE PERIMETER ARTILLERY POSITIONS, AND THE MACHINE GUN COMPANY DIRECTLY UNDER THE NINTH BATTALION WAS ALSO REINFORCED TO THE FIRST COMPANY DEFENDING THE PERIMETER POSITIONS.

The weapons are heavy in the front and light in the back, and the personnel are light in the front and heavy in the back, which is the usual defensive means used by the PLA in the War of Liberation, and this is also what Sun Weiguo requires the officers of all departments to master.

Deploy a large number of heavy weapons in the front position, so as to bring powerful firepower to the attacking side, while the own side still has a large number of personnel.

Even if the enemy has captured the front position, his side can use the many people behind him to quickly counterattack, not to mention that the heavy weapons in front can bring heavy damage to the enemy.

AT PRESENT, ONE TYPE 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUN, THREE BROWNING HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, THREE TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS, FOUR 65MM FIELD GUNS, THREE MAUSER SNIPER RIFLES, NINE GRENADIERS, NINE CROOKED HANDLES AND CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND 100 TYPE 38 rifles are deployed on the outlying positions of Yangbai Township.

There are seven artillery pieces and thirteen light and heavy machine guns on the outer positions alone, which is enough for a little devil to drink a pot.

"Company commander, fight or not, this new guy hasn't opened meat yet, let's hit a shuttle first, let the little devil see and understand!"

A Browning heavy machine gun shooter looked at the commander of the 9th Battalion Machine Gun Company, and he said with a look of anticipation.

"Don't shoot yet, the good stuff should be saved for the last use, and wait for my order to fight." The company commander immediately gave an order.

More than 100 devil soldiers were less than 500 meters away from the position, and the little devils alternately covered each other's advances, and they moved extremely quickly.

A soldier had just bared his head with a rifle when the imp rifle began to shoot, and the bullet pierced the soldier's head.

The soldier fell to the ground and died on the spot, bright red blood and white flower brains began to flow in the trenches, and the smell of blood appeared.

"Bang bang." A crooked light machine gun shooter pulled the trigger, and the bullet was fired at the ghost soldiers.

One of the devil soldiers was killed, but immediately afterward, the Japanese grenadiers began firing miniature grenades.
