*******************************************************************

Intelligence is crucial to winning or losing wars.

Yang Tianfeng was close to the military commander, coupled with his foresight, before the war started, he had already taken the lead in three points.

On April 25, 1939, the Japanese soldiers attacked Boxian in two ways. Shi Zai: "On the 26th, the Japanese army approached the outskirts of the city under the cover of artillery fire, shelled the county seat, and Xue Geta was hit ......"

The first half is still reality, and the second half will never appear because of Yang Tianfeng's existence.

The car shone with a metallic sheen against the rising sun, and the carriage clattered, kicking up bursts of dust. The road is full of armed infantry, the yellow tweed military uniform is the Japanese devil, and the gray wriggling in the middle of the yellow tweed is the puppet army's troops, yellow and gray, like a huge withered yellow leaf embedded with speckled cavities. The black steel helmet and the snow-bright bayonet shone with dazzling brilliance.

Kura Yongjia stood on the high post on the side of the road, looking at all this in front of him, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He happily opened the gold cigarette case and took out a cigarette, gently knocked it on the cigarette case, and glanced at the advancing troops in front of him.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to light a cigarette for him with a lighter, and Kura Yong Jiayi took a deep breath and slowly spewed out wisps of smoke. He smiled alone as he looked at the rising smoke rings and thought that under this powerful offensive, the enemy of Haoxian County had turned into wisps of light smoke and disappeared into this vast land controlled by the imperial army.

He was convinced that this belief was well-founded. A total of more than 2,000 people participated in the war, including two regiments (two battalions) of the puppet army, one brigade and one artillery squadron of the Japanese army.

A "report" interrupted Kuranaga Kaichi's thoughts, and the confidential officer presented the report folder.

The telegram was sent by the vanguard to the effect that the troops had been attacked and disturbed, and that the two villages they passed through were deserted, and all food and livestock had been moved. The most important thing is that there are square nails on the road, there are mines, and the speed of travel is forced to slow down.

Similarly, similar telegrams were sent from troops on the other side, which were greatly affected by the harassment and landmines.

Kurayong tapped lightly on the newspaper clip, thinking about how to restore the power. This situation was somewhat unexpected to him, he did not expect the Self-Defense Army to dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, he also thought that the troops would be able to drive straight in, and the battle would only take place in the county, and the main battle would be fought around the city walls and gates!

"Recall-" Cang Yongjia waved his arms and said arbitrarily and confidently: "How can the skill of carving insects hinder the advance of my invincible imperial army, and all departments can take advantage of the victory to advance and smash the enemy's lair." ”

……………

A series of explosions shook the earth, the smoke of the fire obscured the clear sky, the walls collapsed, the bricks and tiles flew sideways, and the Japanese Mugu squadron and a battalion of puppet troops approached the town of Eighteen Miles. Here they were met head-on. Relying on complete and strong fortifications, the soldiers of the three columns engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.

Huge fires burned the houses, thick smoke filled the streets, and bombs whistled one after another.

The hidden shooting holes were suddenly opened, and several machine guns were firing wildly like vipers, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers were hit by a rain of bullets as soon as they stood up straight.

Kitani's hand holding the binoculars trembled slightly with extreme anger, and the sound of gunfire and shouts could still be heard faintly in the town, which was that the troops rushing into the town were under fierce attack by the superior enemy, and it was not known how long they could hold out. And they, as the vanguard, carried light artillery such as mortars, and the results of the shelling were not satisfactory.

"Urge the follow-up brigade to bring the infantry artillery up immediately." Mu Gu said to the staff officer in a bit of a hurry: "Order the Matsumura team to attack the town from the west and the Imperial Alliance army from the north to rescue the Kawa Terra team that is trapped in the town." ”

The three columns only relied on the outer positions to hastily resist for a while, and then all of them retreated into the town. A squad of devils and a company of puppet soldiers immediately attacked it, but after they were led into the depths, they were locked inside.

This time, the enemy was chosen to meet the enemy in Eighteen Mile Town, which was carefully considered by Yang Tianfeng and others and secretly sent people to investigate.

First of all, Eighteen Mile is a large town that guards the road, and the enemy must be the first to attack Haoxian, and the enemy is very likely to use this as an important baggage center and foothold. On the other hand, the town of Shibali is mostly brick buildings, which are not easy to catch fire, and the streets are narrow and numerous, which is conducive to street fighting.

Moreover, the Third Column arrived here two days ahead of schedule, and not only moved all the residents out of the area, but also carried out several offensive and defensive exercises in the area, familiarized themselves with the streets and terrain, and stepped up the construction of many roof-covered fortifications and semi-underground bunkers.

After a fierce battle, the town of Eighteen Mile finally calmed down, and Mu Gu's hand holding the binoculars did not let go for a long time. The silence meant that the troops that had stormed the town had been completely eliminated, and the attacks from the north and south sides of the town had been thwarted and the losses were significant.

Based on this, he judged that the enemy's defensive forces were not small, his own side did not have an overwhelming advantage, and there were also small enemy forces operating on the periphery.

So, he temporarily stopped the offensive, gathered his troops, and waited for the arrival of the brigade. After counting the casualties, Mu Gu couldn't help but gasp, the Japanese army with casualties of nearly one and a half squads, the puppet army was even worse, and there was only one company of intact soldiers left, not to mention that if the attack continued, even if he himself was in danger of being counterattacked by the enemy in the town.

The Japanese devil brigade acted very quickly, arrived at the town of Eighteen Mile at noon, and under the personal command of Kuronaga Kaichi, a battalion of the puppet army was divided into two companies to contain the two wings, one company served as the main attack, and the Sato squadron as the second echelon launched an attack on the town.

The explosion shook the earth, the smoke of the fire obscured the clear sky, the walls collapsed, and the bricks and tiles flew everywhere.

The defenders of the town repeated their old tactics, retreating, luring the enemy, and then engaging in street battles with the enemy in the depths of the town.

Behind the enemy's position, on a dirt hill, it was under heavy guard, surrounded by guards, machine guns were erected in several directions, and the shooters were engrossed, ready to suppress the sudden fire.

Kura held up his binoculars and observed the fierce fighting in the town.

"What do you think?" Kuraga turned around suddenly, and his deep gaze scanned the crowd.

"The enemy is in a hurry, the morale of the army is shaken, our army has entered the town, we should seize the opportunity, take advantage of the victory to attack, do not let them have a chance to breathe, and destroy them all in one go." Muya said first.

Cang Yong remained silent, noncommittal, and his gaze shifted to the faces of others. The Japanese officers who were watching puffed up their chests and agreed with Kitani's opinion.

"Hahahaha." Kuraga suddenly burst out laughing, the devil officers were stunned for a moment, and then they were infected by this emotion, and they also laughed, but as soon as the laughter started, Kuranaga's laughter stopped abruptly, and asked in a sneering tone that caught him off guard: "Everyone, don't you think you are too optimistic?" ”

The devil officers were suddenly silent, and looked blankly at the unfathomable commander.

"This attack was not successful at all, and it was not the same as the battle of Luyi. Even if we completely wiped out the enemy in the town, we would only be grabbing the enemy's deliberately dropped tail. Cang Yong Jiayi pointed to the town and said: "The enemy is familiar with the terrain and defends it with danger, so that our imperial army is short of long, and it has suffered great losses in street battles. Now, the large number of enemies in Hao County may have withdrawn, and we can only get an empty city. ”

Several Japanese officers looked at each other and felt that Kuranaga's words were certainly reasonable, but wouldn't it be good to be able to occupy Hao County without major losses? Mu Gu moved his mouth and wanted to argue for a few words, but he couldn't understand Cangyong's intentions, so he restrained himself and didn't make a sound.

"If the enemy's strength still exists, he will continue to harass and attack, so that our army will have to invest a considerable amount of troops to garrison the county." Kuranaga seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and said slowly: "If this is the case everywhere, how can we mobilize and assemble a sufficient number of mobile troops, and how can we fight those guerrilla forces?" ”

Cang Yong Jiayi looked into the town again, then thought silently for a long time, turned around and paced back and forth, raised his eyebrows and said: "Have you thought about it, we can't just stare at the enemy in front of us, we have to look at the entire battle situation." The enemy's main forces seem to have fled, so what the prospects of the battle situation will be in the light of the development of the situation remains to be judged more accurately. ”

……………

The dense gunfire was mixed with violent explosions, the dust that was raised, the rising pillars of smoke, and the long smoke and dust were tangled into a large net, covering the sky over Eighteen Mile Town.

The puppet troops who entered the town were met with stubborn resistance, and the middle and lower rank officers, machine gun shooters, and gunners were frequently killed by cold guns, and the hidden fire points spewed out unstoppable death flames from time to time, and the crooked and direct grenades caused the puppet soldiers to pay casualties continuously. The puppet army, which had not been trained in street fighting, was extremely uncomfortable, not only suffered heavy casualties, but was repeatedly flanked and killed, and if it were not for the Japanese behind the formation, they would have retreated long ago.

Subsequently, after repeated setbacks in the attack, Kurayong changed his tactics, and while pinning down the front, he turned to strengthening the flank attack in an attempt to open a gap and open up a division and encirclement.

Heavy artillery fire poured down like a torrent of smoke, covering the north side of the town, and the enemy continued to intensify their fire attacks, determined to break through the left flank.

In view of the superiority of the enemy's firepower, the defenders in the town immediately organized scattered ambushes, relying on high walls and deep alleys to maneuver with the enemy, consume the enemy, and constantly took the initiative to abandon some positions, constantly retreated, and led the enemy into depth.

By 4 p.m., almost half of the town had been occupied by the enemy. Just as the enemy was regrouping and preparing to continue the onslaught, thunder rumbled, and immediately a large number of cannonball-like things jumped into the sky. With flames and smoke, it flew, rolled, and roared, drawing terrifying trajectories in the air, and then falling down densely, smashing into the positions that had been occupied by the Japanese army and the puppet army.
