Chen Geng also knew that this was his first battle in the Inner Mongolia Military Region and that he had to fight it well. So it was no longer hypocritical, and he ordered loudly: "The two blockade lines will all be handed over to Comrade Wang Xiaohu and his special operations squadron." Our task was to march with all our might to Tianzhen County after Comrade Wang Xiaohu had quietly resolved these two blockade lines, and in order to be in a hurry, the cars of the division headquarters could transport an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion at about one time. Therefore, Lao Zhang, you and the 99th Regiment and the Mountain Artillery Battalion first rushed to the outside of Tianzhen City by car, and immediately went into battle after getting off the car, striving to destroy all the fortifications that the devils had arranged on the defense line of the East Gate before the follow-up troops came. At the same time as the departure of the 99th Regiment, the rest of our troops also rushed to Tianzhen at the speed of a rapid march, and the 88th Regiment was transported to Tianzhen Xicheng immediately after the return of the automobile transport battalion, but without the order of the Ministry, the 88th Regiment was not allowed to enter the battle. The special machine gun battalion acted with the 88th Regiment and cooperated with the 88th Regiment to take the west gate of Tianzhen City. The 100th Regiment and the follow-up artillery regiment, engineer regiment, and fire support regiment were all put into the battle of the Dongcheng defense line, we want to give the enemy an illusion, we must go all out to break through the east gate, and when the east gate can not stand up, the Japanese army defending the city will definitely transfer troops to several other city gates to support the East Gate defense line, and then Lao Jiang's 88th regiment will attack the city gate, but after taking the city gate, don't fight inside, and then it will become a brutal street battle, which is not good for us, Remember, this is just to cooperate with the commander's actions in Datong, and if we fight well on our side, the commander's side will be much easier, and there will probably be fewer casualties. Okay, let's go our separate ways" Chen Geng's order was very resolute, he knew that the soldiers were fast, and Han Yunhua was still waiting for news, so he could only fight sooner rather than later, and if it was late, it would be difficult for Han Yunhua to fight.

Stationed in the county seat of Tianzhen is the Takahashi Wing, this Miyamoto Wing is a second-line garrison unit formed only last year, most of the personnel are from the remnants of the Japanese army that have been destroyed, and even the wing commander Takahashi Tundra was demoted to the wing leader of this garbage wing by the commander of a major general brigade of the main brigade. Although this independent wing of the North China Front was not well received, a unit composed of remnants of soldiers could only be regarded as a disgraceful existence in the Japanese Army. Therefore, the Takahashi Wing, which numbered only more than 2,100 people, was beaten into the cold palace by Terauchi Shouichi on the first day of being included in the North China Front, and has not participated in any battles since its formation in March 38. Some time ago, due to the attack of Han Yunhua's troops, the North China Front Army was seriously short of troops, so in desperation, this force had to be transferred up and served as the garrison of Tianzhen.

Both General Terauchi Shouichi, who was the commander of the North China Front at the time, and Major General Yoshito Takagi, commander of the Datong garrison, lacked sufficient confidence in this force, so Major General Yoshito Takagi transferred one of the few infantry divisions of the Imperial Alliance Army and an independent cavalry regiment to Tianzhen County.

But whether it is the current General Binshan Moto or Major General Yoshito Takagi, they all underestimate this Takahashi tundra, it is undeniable that this is a force composed of remnants of defeated generals, but because of this, all the soldiers of this wing are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and those who can survive on the cruel battlefield are either those who have real skills or are extremely lucky, so the combat effectiveness of the entire Takahashi Wing is not as unbearable as rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, under the strict or cruel training of Takahashi Tundra, the combat effectiveness of this unit is extremely strong, even compared with the elite Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

Takahashi Tundra had long expected that the squadron would launch an attack on Tianzhen, because in Takahashi Tundra's eyes, the area where Han Yunhua's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was extremely aggressive, and the area under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army were handed over, except for the Kangbao Guyuan line, only the section of Tianzhen was a weak point in the Japanese defense. And the Chinese and Japanese sides have just fought a general battle in the Saibei area, and the second division is still stationed in Chengde, so the commander of the Eighth Route Army will not rush to that moldy head from that side as long as he is not a fool. Therefore, the Tianzhen he defended became the only breakthrough for the Eighth Route Army's attack, although it is not excluded that the squadron broke through from several large cities in the front, and it was difficult and then easy. But he didn't dare to take this risk, so after taking over the defense of Tianzhen City, he built fortifications on a large scale, and although he was endlessly ridiculed by his colleagues for doing so, he knew that it was very necessary. At the same time, he also built two blockade lines in several important areas outside Tianzhen City, and the troops heading south could hardly bypass these two blockade lines. Moreover, each of these two blockade lines is guarded by nearly 600 people, and they have to contact each other every once in a while to prevent them from being attacked by the ** squadron, and the effect of such a tight defensive attitude is quite obvious, and they have not been attacked by the ** squadron since the Gaoqiao United accepted the defensive task of Tianzhen County. ,

Today is no exception, after approving a large number of documents at his garrison headquarters, Takahashi Tundra sighed and said: "Takahashi, Takahashi, are you going to be thrown in this broken county all the time." This place where birds don't poop is male, except for those annoying military jigs, even the cockroaches are male. ”

Takahashi Tundra, who felt sorry for himself, got up and routinely carried out his last task of the day. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed the Wayaokou Fort outside the city, and after a busy sound, the other side finally answered: "Moxi Moxi, this is the Wayaokou Fort Tower, I'm Xiyuan Temple Taro, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Very good, Yokoshi-kun, I'm Takahashi Tundra, is everything going well?" Takahashi Tundra asked.

Soon the other side of the phone replied: "Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, everything is normal, no abnormal situation has been found, there are a total of 6 vehicles of various kinds going north today, a total of 14 people, all of them are ordinary people from China who are going to our military area, and there are no spies in China." ”

"Yo Xi, this time is not very peaceful, and there is likely to be a big battle on the Chinese side, so you have to check carefully, do you understand?"

"Hai, I greatly understand" Although Yokoki Saionji Taro Shaozo was very dissatisfied with the words of this wing leader, but after all, he was a wing leader, and he was just a dissatisfied captain, and the actual command of the army was only an infantry squadron, so he didn't dare to refute the wing leader's words at all. Besides, in the strict system of the Japanese Army, if there is no tough backstage, then obediently do your own job, otherwise it is likely to be disposed of as a thorn.

What scares Yokosaka Saionji Taro Shaozo the most is that the co-captain who seems to be smiling and amiable is a smiling tiger through and through, it's okay if he doesn't make a mistake, once something goes wrong. What awaits you is not just a demotion, the fine and demotion are still light, and if it is serious, it is likely to be directly executed, not long ago, this smiling tiger also shot out an army lieutenant, the reason is that the unlucky guy played with a woman during his duty, and did not answer the call from the captain, so that His Excellency the captain led a brigade of infantry to "support" the defense line of the Stone Buddha Temple, and made an oolong of Nuoda. Therefore, at the strong request of His Excellency the Wing Commander, His Excellency the Brigade Commander finally agreed to the request to shoot Sakatanakasa. And at the time of the execution of Sakata, all the officers were forcibly taken to the execution ground, and no one was allowed not to come for any reason. What shocked Yokoshi Saionji Taro Shaozo the most was that the co-captain refused to commit suicide by disembowelment, originally this matter could be big or small, at the most it was an unauthorized desertion, and at most he was sentenced to dismissal and investigation and sent to a military court. However, at the strong request of Takahashi Tundra Daisa, Sakata Nakasa was finally sentenced to death on a series of charges such as obstructing military affairs, leaving his post without permission, and causing irreparable damage to the imperial army. The most shameful way of death in the Japanese Army is to be hanged, followed by being shot, and suicide by disembowelment is the most glorious way to die, and the vast majority of officers who are generally sentenced to death are allowed to commit suicide by disembowelment, and only those who commit the most heinous crimes will be immediately shot.

Sakata's death was a wake-up call to the other officers of the Takahashi Wing, who was not a good one. It may not be good to work hard, but if you don't do it well, you will not end well. Therefore, at this point, the atmosphere of the Takahashi Wing has been cleared, and the vigilance of the troops has also been improved. At the same time, a large number of intelligence agencies set up by various forces in Tianzhen were destroyed, and even a small intelligence station set up by the military commander in Tianzhen was not spared.

Takahashi Tundra was very satisfied with the conscientious and responsible attitude of Yokoshiki Saionji Taro Shaosa, praised Shaozo and then made a call to the second blockade line in the direction of the Stone Buddha Temple, and only after learning that there was no abnormal situation did he return to his bedroom to prepare for rest. Under normal circumstances, the first blockade line was not attacked, and the second blockade line was safe, so Takahashi Tundra attached great importance to the first blockade line, but the second blockade line was only a routine question, and the inspection was not strict.

Besides, Wang Xiaohu and the others, after arriving at the designated area, Wang Xiaohu did not order the special combat team members to act immediately. Instead, he ordered a special combat team member to quickly monitor the Japanese army's phone calls, and only after waiting for the devils in the artillery tower to communicate with the Japanese soldiers in the city on the phone could they start work, otherwise there was likely to be an accident.

Ten minutes later, the special combat team members who were listening to the devil's phone came back and reported that the devils of the two blockade lines had just spoken on the phone, and after saying peace to each other, they said "Long live the empire, long live the military fortune is prosperous." It is very likely that this is the secret word of the Japanese army, and we should pay special attention to the slogans of the Japanese army and be careful of showing our feet.
