In fact, the Japanese didn't understand what Han Yunhua wanted to do at all, in the eyes of the Japanese, robbing coal mines and sneaking up on the Japanese transport team could only do things that the Eighth Route Army could do, and although Han Yunhua's department still nominally belonged to the Eighth Route Army, General Binshan Yuan and other officers of the entire North China Front Army had always regarded Han Yunhua's department as a regular force with sufficient threat. Therefore, General Binshanyuan would never think that Han Yunhua launched such a large-scale battle for those few good coal mines, even if Han Yunhua stood in front of him and told him personally, Binshanyuan would not believe it.

In Binshanyuan's view, Datong Coal Mine is indeed a chicken rib. Due to the proximity to the two guerrilla areas, they were often harassed by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 120th Division, and the newly established Yanbei Detachment was even more frequent in the area of Zuoyun and Youyu, and the activities became more and more frequent, and the most troublesome thing was that the Datong mining area was less than 50 kilometers away from the territory of Han Yunhua, the largest cross-river dragon in Saibei, and the rapid march was less than a day's journey. Due to various reasons, although the coal reserves of the Datong Coal Mine are extremely abundant, the output is very small, and even the output of the Jingxi Coal Mine outside Beiping City cannot be compared. Therefore, General Binshan Yuan did not look at the coal mines in Datong, let alone think that Han Yunhua, a general with more than 100,000 troops, specially attacked this inconspicuous place.

Kobayashi Hengichi's reinforcements have just arrived in Tianzhen, Han Yunhua received information here, Han Yunhua analyzed that the Japanese army may have new intentions, Han Yunhua originally thought that the Japanese army's support soldiers would return to Datong the same way, but he didn't expect to go directly to rescue Tianzhen regardless of the threat of the fall of Datong City, so that the Japanese army definitely has the confidence that Datong will not fall, and where does the confidence of the Japanese army come from?

After discussing with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng and others, and without discussing any results, Han Yunhua grabbed the phone and gave a death order to Jiang Yunshan, who was in command at the front: "First Brigade Commander, I am Han Yunhua, and now the devil's intentions are unknown, I order your troops to quickly break through the frontal defense line of Datong, advance the forward position by one kilometer, knock down the frontal wall of Datong for me, and beat the enemy's intentions for me." ”

Han Yunhua's order was very timely, after an hour and a half of attack, the Japanese front-line defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the peripheral positions were almost lost, but limited to Han Yunhua's order not to stop the assault, the soldiers had to nest on the position and wait for the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, but an infantry brigade of the Japanese army could not bear the huge casualties in less than half an hour and retreated more than 100 meters, throwing the broken first line of defense to Jiang Spruce.

The Japanese retreat gave the 1st Assault Brigade an excellent opportunity, and now the defenders of the Japanese frontline positions were less than a brigade, and a large part of the soldiers were injured of varying degrees of severity and severity, and the follow-up troops could not come up for the time being, Jiang Yunshan believed that as long as a group charge could knock down the second and last line of defense of the Japanese army's peripheral positions. So Jiang Yunshan was about to call Han Yunhua and ask the troops to take the initiative to attack and knock out the outlying positions of the Japanese army. At this moment, Han Yunhua's order came down, and Jiang Yunshan couldn't help but feel excited.

The assault brigade attacked with all its might, which these remnants of the defeated generals could withstand, and it took less than ten minutes for the Japanese troops in the second line of defense to retreat into the city in a hurry. However, the 1st Assault Brigade still did not spare the pursuit of victory, and the Japanese puppet army stubbornly resisted the attack of the 1st Assault Brigade relying on the city wall of Datong. Because the Japanese army occupied an absolute geographical advantage, and outside the city of Datong was a flat river, the vision was very open, and the Japanese army set up thirty or forty heavy machine guns on the Datong city wall, and for a time the assault brigade was beaten and could not raise its head, and the troops suffered large casualties.

However, Jiang Spruce has long been prepared for this, the Japanese army only relies on the city wall of Datong, as long as there is no support of the city wall, Jiang Spruce really didn't take the four or five thousand little devils in the city in his eyes, and the follower Commander Han Yunhua didn't grow anything, but he still learned a lot of experience from this little devil fighting. Although he also lost an arm for this, but he did not regret it, just an arm, missing an arm, he was more sharp, because of his excellent command during the Battle of Wuhan, when the 106th Division was surrounded and annihilated, a small part of the remnants of the 106th Division were directly annihilated, so Han Yunhua promoted him to brigade commander during this reorganization, and replaced Yang Chengwu as the second brigade commander of the 1st Assault Brigade. ,

Seeing that the troops on the front line were pressed by the devil's heavy machine guns and couldn't raise their heads, Jiang Yunshan ordered the troops to aim all their artillery at the city wall and bombarded it, and at the same time ordered the demolition team to take this opportunity to blow up the Datong city wall.

The explosives bags used by the blasting team were specially made under the personal guidance of Han Yunhua, and the power was more than five times that of ordinary explosive packs. However, under the special explosives package of Han Yunhua's department, in less than half an hour, more than a dozen gaps appeared on the side of the high city wall of Datong City, the largest section of the gap exceeded 15 meters, and huge cracks also appeared in other sections, becoming dangerous walls, which were crumbling under the fierce shelling of Han Yunhua's department, and obviously could no longer be used.

The precarious telegram of Datong City once again caused an uproar in the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese army in Beiping, although the combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's unit was repeatedly overestimated by them, but it seems that it always does not reflect the true combat effectiveness of that Chinese army, and he can always create miracles that you don't expect.

Now General Binshan Gen is also in a panic, and the only thing he can do now is to pray that Nakamura Daisa can hold on and wait for reinforcements from Yoshito Takagi, as long as it lasts about seven hours, the reinforcements will arrive.

After receiving a call back from the base camp, Nakamura Dazuoxin suddenly felt half cold, seven hours? Just kidding, with the offensive posture of the squadron, the defenders of Datong City can't even support it for three hours, and what makes Nakamura Osa panic the most is that there have been a small number of deserters on the side of the Imperial Army, although they have been executed by the gendarmerie, but this already indicates that the Imperial Army can no longer be used, and they have reached the verge of collapse. Although Nakamura Daisa never thought that the Imperial Allied Army was a reliable force, at this time he still had illusions about the Chinese army that was almost equal in number to the Imperial Army.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is really not flattering, just a limited number of about 700 people of the Imperial Allied Army infantry regiment was transferred to the city wall by Nakamura Daisa and retreated in less than half an hour, and at this time there were less than 300 people left in the Imperial Allied Army Infantry Regiment, more than half of them were killed by Han Yunhua's department, and the remaining more than 100 people were executed by the Japanese army's supervisory team as deserters. Can such a force take on a heavy responsibility, Nakamura Daisa was angry in his heart. But he forgot what was the original intention of the Japanese army to form the so-called Imperial Allied Army, and where to find blood in a servile army that they worked hard to cultivate, and can a bloodless army still be called an army?

However, Jiang Spruce would not give Nakamura Daisa any time to think about it, and the threat on the city wall had been minimized, so Jiang Spruce ordered a group charge to take this section of the city wall and compress the remnants of the Japanese army into Datong City. At the same time, he also ordered artillery regiments, machine gun battalions and other troops to cover fire and reduce the casualties of a regiment.

Datong City is in full swing, but the mining area less than 15 kilometers away from Datong City is quiet, although the coal maniac enterprises are brightly lit, and from time to time there are armed men with loaded guns patrolling back and forth, you can see the tension in the mining area. However, with the exception of the two gendarmerie squadrons of the mining garrison, which were responsible for the security of the entire mining area, the other armed forces guarded their own little family property to prevent being robbed by the Chinese laborers who did not submit to the "discipline", and at the same time to prevent the Chinese army from defeating Datong City, and in the end their respective miners ran out. This kind of thing is not uncommon, some time ago a guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army came to attack the mining area, and it was menacing. In order to defend the mining area, the major enterprises put all their mine protection forces under the command of the gendarmerie, so the major mines were not guarded by armed forces. In the end, the guerrillas did not do anything to the gendarmerie after a long time, but after the guerrillas withdrew, the major mines were heartbroken to find that they had managed to arrest the deceived ones, and even escaped more than half of the prisoners of China bought by the military department. In the end, many military dogs and gendarmerie troops were used to catch them, but in the end, there were more than two layers of Chinese laborers, so this time there was almost no such "stupid thing" in the mine.

Moreover, the person in charge of those mines also knew that although the mine protection weapons in their hands were also equipped with very advanced weapons, it was useless for ordinary stragglers and bandit armies to come, but if they faced the regular army, they would send food, and if they went, they could only send them to death. Those armed forces composed of Japanese ronin and unemployed vagrants are okay to clean up the thorns in the mines and the local people, but it is absolutely impossible to let these people go to the battlefield, even if they encounter the most rubbish guerrillas. No matter how bad the guerrillas were, they were still well-trained troops.

However, no one knew that death was quietly coming. Commander Fu was also very embarrassed by Han Yunhua today, and it was really humiliating to let him, a lieutenant general with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, command a small army with only three hundred and twenty people. But he believed that Han Yunhua was not the kind of person who was short-sighted, and he would not be idle to insult him, the lieutenant general, so he took more than a dozen members of the Jinsui Army Observation Group to accept the task of attacking the mining area.
