Chapter 848: Capture Dongzhai Town

Toneoka Kanji didn't finish his words, he wanted to end his life directly with a pistol, he knew very well that even if he had a chance to live now, even if he would not be killed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, then he would be tried by a military court.

The troops directly under the Second Independent Mixed Brigade are already here in Dongzhai Town, and they are about to be completely annihilated, and the four independent infantry brigades directly under them have never had any contact now, and Changoka Kanji can be sure that in the face of the armored troops of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army, these four independent infantry brigades directly under them will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

He wanted to end his life, and he began to pull the trigger with his right index finger, but the southern pistol, which had a high failure rate, jammed at the critical moment.

With an angry look on his face, Kanji Tsuneoka slammed the southern pistol on the table.

This time, before Kanji Tsuneoka could say anything, a shuttle bullet came in directly from the outside.

The bullet from the Makqin heavy machine gun easily penetrated the window of the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, and a bullet directly pierced the head of Kanji Tsuneoka, who was killed on the spot.

The personnel of the brigade headquarters were hit by bullets, they fell to the ground one after another, they took their weapons and began to shoot outside.

"It's the brigade headquarters of the little devils, hurry up and throw grenades, don't leave any alive."

"What kind of prisoners to catch, these little devils dare to destroy the cemetery of fallen officers and soldiers in Hequ County, what more do we want, this time we don't even want to leave them with a complete corpse."

"What are you doing in a daze, throwing grenades, if the little devil runs away, see how Lao Tzu will clean you up when he goes back."

Loud shouting began to be heard outside the brigade headquarters, and immediately after, grenades began to be thrown through windows and doorways.

"Boom, boom." The sound of grenade explosions continued to sound, and at the same time that the grenade stopped exploding, more than a dozen fighters with Type 38 rifles immediately rushed inside.

"Platoon commander, this is really the little devil brigade headquarters, there is a big fish, it seems to be a little devil major general!" One of the fighters saw the Tsuneoka Kanji collar badge, and he immediately reported it.

The second lieutenant platoon commander immediately walked over to this side, and after looking at the body of Kanji Tsuneoka, the second lieutenant platoon commander had a smile on his face.

At 4:10 p.m. on 19 September, the 1st Battalion of the Unknown Regiment captured Dongzhai Town, terminated the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, and killed the commander of the Major General Brigade, Kanji Tsuneoka.

This is a great victory for the nameless group, but this victory is covered with grief and anger because of one thing.

After the troops conquered the Japanese brigade and regimental headquarters, when Gu Yan, the commander of the first battalion of the supplementary battalion, led the troops to clean up the battlefield, a lieutenant of the devil soldiers mixed in the corpses of the devil soldiers took out a southern pistol, and he pulled the trigger on Gu Yan, and the bullet hit Gu Yan's forehead directly, and Gu Yan died on the spot.

In this operation against Dongzhai Town, the first battalion of the supplementary battalion paid the price of 96 casualties from the battalion commander Gu Yan below, and the sacrifice of the battalion commander Gu Yan brought a heavy blow to the supplementary first battalion.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of September 19, 1938, Sun Weiguo, the honorary commander of the Second Division, personally presided over the burial ceremony of the fallen officers and soldiers, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo announced that the first battalion was supplemented and the number of the ninth battalion was officially restored.

The fierce battle continued, and Gu Yan's death brought pain to the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battalion, but the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battalion did not have much time to grieve, and they still had to devote themselves to the next battle.

At half past five in the afternoon, the Anonymous Regiment was attached to the 2nd Battalion of the Honorary 4th Regiment, and they began to sweep south from Dongzhai Town, cooperating with the troops of the Honorary 4th Regiment to annihilate the remnants of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade.

At this time, there were only more than 2,000 remnants of the Second Brigade of the Japanese Army, and all of them were scattered in Huabeitun Town and Xima Town.

And they faced an armored regiment, an infantry regiment attack, Ge Haifeng's honorary fifth regiment was deployed by Sun Weiguo in the area of Dongzhai Town, blocking the Japanese reinforcements.

Although the 11th Wing, which was arranged by the commander of the 26th Division to reinforce the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, received the order to attack, the 11th Wing Commander Yamazaki Notakeshi only symbolically sent an infantry squadron to set off, and this infantry squadron quickly withdrew to Yuzhuang Town after being attacked by cavalry, and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade was besieged by the main force of the Honorary 2nd Division in front, but the 11th Wing was afraid that Ge Haifeng's cavalry troops did not dare to leave Yuzhuang Town at all.

The sky began to gradually become dark before I knew it, and Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.

After the actions of the various units, the staff officers of the headquarters of the North China Front began to get busy, and they summed up the actions of the various units; after receiving the telegram from the 26 th Division, Muto Akidaisa, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, immediately came to the front of Chief of Staff Yamashita Fengwen.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 26th Division has sent a telegram that the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has lost contact." After Yamashita received the report, he immediately came to Terauchi Shouichi to report.

Shouichi Terauchi's eyes immediately looked towards Ningwu County, his brows furrowed tightly, and even Ishihara Wan'er, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, was stunned for a moment after receiving the news.

"Your Excellency Commander, at present, the 26th Division has also encountered the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Dai County, according to the previous report of the intelligence organ, it should be the troops of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army who are blocking the 26th Division in Dai County." At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Akira Muto came over again to report that he had a solemn expression on his face.

After Shouichi Terauchi heard Muto Akira's report, the expression on his face changed, and he gradually had a bad guess.

Ishihara looked at the movements of the Japanese troops marked on the map, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

"Why are the independent garrisons and the independent mixed third brigade still in Pingding County, the honorary second division of the Eighth Route Army has all been stationed in Wutai County, what are they doing in Pingding County."

Ishihara Wan'er pointed to the location of Pingding County on the map, and asked with a little displeasure in his tone.

According to the Ishihara Waner plan, the independent garrison and the independent mixed third brigade and regiment, and the troops of the first division should quickly go to the area of Xin County and Meng County to assemble, and put pressure on the troops of the honorary second division from the south of Wutai County, but now that a day has passed, the independent garrison and the independent mixed third brigade are still in Pingding County, which makes Ishihara Waner extremely angry.

"Ishihara-kun, Pingding County is the base of the Honorary Second Division, and the people here are very supportive of the Honorary Second Division, and the independent garrison and the independent mixed third brigade are now capturing Pingding County, and they are going to take some disciplinary measures against these people, so they will stay in Pingding County."

Chief of Staff Yamashita Fengfumi looked at Ishihara Wan'er, and he hurriedly explained.
