Hearing Lin's order, everyone pricked up their ears, and a combat staff officer took out a notebook for shorthand. "Order Mu Shixiong and the special forces to launch an attack at 6 o'clock in the morning, and be sure to take Huining at 12 o'clock to end the battle. Ordered Yang Chengwu to snipe at the enemy in Shantou, not to expose the true strength of his troops, and to ensure that our main force completely annihilated the Japanese Ikeda Wing. Ordered Yang Dezhi's troops to surround the Ikeda Wing between Jieyang and Huining, and to complete the encirclement before dusk. The 11th Brigade of Li Tianyou's department was ordered to quickly capture Jieyang and block the western reinforcement of the Japanese army in the direction of Chaozhou. ”

Lin continued: "Order the 9th and 10th Brigades of Li Tianyou's Department to quickly move westward, and build a position in Luhe to block Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Guangzhou, and the 12th Brigade of the Department will be on standby as a reserve!" The telegram ordered Chen Guang to instruct all departments to take swift action without making mistakes. The orders issued by Lin were dazzling, but they were well organized, and a picture of the battlefield appeared in front of everyone. The telegram flew in all directions, and the operational staff officers in the headquarters began to get busy.

The sound of gunfire was deafening, and the assault brigade of the special regiment took the lead in attacking. At the forward command post, Mu Shixiong held a telescope to check. "Haha, the guns and grenades of the cover brigade are really powerful, and lo and behold, the grenadiers of the Japanese army were blown up and fled in all directions." Jie Zhenbang, who was standing beside Mu Shixiong, was excited. This time, Hao Lei took back 100 guns and grenades from the Jiujiang Arsenal, and all of them were equipped with a covering brigade. This time, the cover brigade was covering the assault brigade's attack, and natural gun grenades became the focus of attention.

Gun grenades are fired on the principle of empty cartridges, which can hit enemy fortifications and machine gun fire points. It is more efficient to deal with the enemy's mortar-run positions, especially against the grenadiers of the Japanese army. With a range farther than a bazooka, a closer than a mortar, and a greater explosive power than a grenade, he is a sharp weapon for striking at close range. The grenade can reach 600 meters in parabolic shooting and 300 meters in a straight line, and its combat efficiency is much higher than that of rockets and grenadiers.

Since the rocket launcher is a weapon designed to deal with armored combat vehicles, it is largely focused on armor-piercing ability, so the grenade is more cost-effective. If the grenade is tested and finalized in actual combat, the grenadier canister installed by the Eighth Route Army will be replaced by a grenade. "The assault brigade attacked sharply, and the covering brigade fired fiercely. The assault brigade has broken through the Japanese positions, and it is time for your sniper brigade to go. Mu Shixiong put down the binoculars and said. The sniper squad is with me! Jie Zhenbang shouted and rushed out first.

"Order Xiao Hua to launch an attack on all fronts!" Mu Shixiong knew in his heart that the special forces were undoubtedly using a knife to kill a large group of Japanese troops, and there was no suspense at the beginning of the battle. Two hours later, the battle entered Huining City, and Mu Shixiong ordered a report to be sent to the headquarters, and there was no problem in ending the battle before noon. At this time, the political commissar put down his glasses and said: "5 times the strength of the Japanese army, our weapons and equipment are stronger than the Japanese army, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers is indeed not ordinary. ”

Mu Shixiong said: "It is their tradition that Japanese soldiers would rather die than surrender, which is indeed admirable, and only by fighting such an opponent can they show their heroic nature." Commissar, the gunfire has become sparse, it's time for us to go into town. "Less than an hour after the enemy attacked, they broke through the position strongly. Yamamoto Dairo was on the position, watching the enemy commandos, dressed in camouflage uniforms, moving quickly and agilely. The enemy's cover fire was fierce and accurate. The positions of the 92nd infantry artillery, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars on their own positions were suppressed and destroyed by a kind of "small artillery" of the enemy.

The enemy assault team, armed with submachine guns, and the soldiers on the defensive, under the heavy fire, had little room for resistance. Dairo Yamamoto immediately judged that the enemy army in front of him was the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army. The special combat team of the Eighth Route Army has long been famous, especially in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, who are almost devils, and the will to fight of the Japanese officers and soldiers first collapsed by half. Soon the enemy army attacked the city from all directions, and when Yamamoto Dairo led his troops to shrink his forces, he received a report from his subordinates: The Eighth Route Army wearing camouflage uniforms was everywhere. Yamamoto reported the truth to the division headquarters, and at the last moment smashed the radio station and burned the military flag.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shantou, the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura received a blackout from Yamamoto Dairo and was immediately stupid. "Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army actually mobilized a special combat team of several thousand people, and the Yamamoto Brigade was unable to resist at all. The combat effectiveness of the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army has long been famous all over the world. "Since the Eighth Route Army has used the special combat team, we must not let the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army escape. Orders were given to Ikeda and Kijima to move forward at full speed. Order the Imperial Allied Army to move south at full speed. Immediately send a report to the military headquarters and request the 104th Division to provide rapid support. ”

"Report, the left-behind troops in Jieyang called, and a large number of Eighth Route Army were found around Jieyang!" An operational staff officer made an urgent report. "Your Excellency General, it is now certain that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is moving south." "Report, Ikeda United's urgent report, they have encountered a large number of enemy troops near the Xiaoqing River!" Junrokuro Matsuura quickly walked to the military map Qian and quickly found the location of Koqinghe. "Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army sent a special combat team to attack Huining to lure the Ikeda Wing to gather and surround it." The chief of staff woke up and was shocked.

Junrokuro Matsuura's head immediately grew: "Order the Ikeda Wing to organize a defense on the spot, and order the Kijima Wing to advance quickly in the direction of the Koqing River." I ordered the Tsuda Wing, the Engineer Wing, and the Artillery Wing to go with me. After Matsuura Junrokuro calmed down a little, he continued: "Order the Watanabe Wing to quickly reinforce Jieyang from Chaozhou, order the 12th Division of the Imperial Association Army to quickly rush to Xiaoqinghe, and order the 11th Division of the Meizhou Imperial Association Army to quickly withdraw to Chaozhou." Report to the military headquarters, asking the 104th Division to rush to Huining as soon as possible, and request the full support of the air force. ”

The atmosphere in the headquarters of the Japanese army in Guangzhou was very tense. Division commander Ando Jiji also seemed to be stunned, there was no warning in advance of such a change, and the Jiangxi Eighth Route Army actually fought on the north and south fronts at the same time. After the Battle of Guinan, the base camp decided to form the Southern Front, and the number of the 21st Army was revoked and the 20th Army was replaced. The former commander, Michiro Furujo, was removed from his post, and Gichiri Ando was appointed commander of the 20th Army. According to the decision of the base camp, the 38th Division of the Japanese Army was transferred to North China, the 1st Guards Division was transferred back to China, and the 55th Division was withdrawn to Hainan Island.

According to the No. 312 operational order of the base camp, in early May, Ando Jili issued an operational order, and the 55th Division set out from Hainan Island and landed in Haiphong, Vietnam, in less than half a day under the cover of a powerful fleet. After the Japanese 55th Division went ashore in Haiphong, the troops divided into two routes, all the way to Hanoi and all the way to Liangshan. Five days later, the Japanese captured Hanoi and Liangshan, respectively, and the French and Vietnamese troops either fled to the south or surrendered. By early June, the Japanese were in full control of northern Vietnam.

The troops went very smoothly out of Vietnam, and when the division commander Anto Jiji was proud, he did not expect the Eighth Route Army to actually make a move in Shantou. At present, the 55th Division is in Vietnam, and Guangzhou has only three divisions, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, and the 104th Division, in addition to two mixed brigades, the 1st and 3rd Army Aviation Regiments, and the 3rd Army Aviation Regiment is currently stationed in Hanoi. On the west and north sides, there were large Chinese troops pressing the border, and the commander Ando Jili could only send the 104th Division to reinforce Shantou. The Eighth Route Army aimed at the 106th Division, and judging from the report of Junrokuro Matsuura, the Eighth Route Army would dispatch at least 40,000 troops, and the situation would not be irreparably worse. In addition, Ando Jili also saw an opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shantou.

Ando Jili ordered the 104th Division to be reinforced, and at the same time ordered the 1st Army Aviation Regiment to fully support the operation. When the Japanese army is deploying troops, let us turn the camera to Shantou, the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura led the brigade to set off, and there was bad news from Jieyang, and the two squadrons of Japanese troops left behind in Jieyang completely lost contact, there is no doubt that the officers and soldiers of the two squadrons were reimbursed, and there is no doubt that Jieyang was captured. At present, the Matsumoto Brigade is facing the special forces of the Eighth Route Army, and the hope of survival is almost zero, and life or death is no longer important, and the rescue of the Ikeda Wing is a top priority. Junrokuro Matsuura ordered the Watanabe Wing to recapture Jieyang. But Junrokuro Matsuura never imagined that the Eighth Route Army that captured Jieyang was a brigade.

At about 11 a.m., the gunfire in Huining City stopped, and the remnants of the Japanese army were cleared. The people in the city were frightened, and when they heard that it was the Eighth Route Army that had come to fight Little Japan, they rushed to tell each other and walked onto the streets from all corners. Seeing the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, some had the courage to go up to check and shout and curse loudly to vent their hatred. Mu Shixiong, Xiao Hua and others walked into the Japanese army headquarters, and the room was in a mess, only to see the Japanese army captain Yamamoto Dairo lying naked next to a crooked machine gun. His face was pitch black, and he was already silent.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Brigadier Commander Xiao. The guy resisted stubbornly with a machine gun in his hand, and there was no way to give him a grenade. "Assault Group Captain report." Put on his clothes and bury him after taking pictures, and set up a wooden sign for him to write his name! Mu Shixiong walked out of the room after speaking. Report to the commander, call from headquarters! Mu Shixiong took the telegram and glanced at it, then handed it to Xiao Hua and said, "The headquarters ordered us to stand by in Huining. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and the field hospital of the military headquarters will be stationed here. ”

A large group of men and horses were marching in the valley, and a division of tigers and wolves had been ambushed on both sides of the valley. The 12th Brigade of the 3rd Division received an order from the military headquarters to quickly go north and take the sheep to eat the 12th Division of the Puppet Emperor's Allied Army. The 12th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army arrived in this valley an hour early, and soon after the troops deployed, the puppet army brigade appeared. Although the 12th Division of the puppet army claims to be a division, it actually has only 4,000 troops and three regiments. The puppet 12th Division received an order from the Japanese army to go south, and on the way, it was shocked to hear that the main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the south, and the puppet officers and soldiers became more and more frightened.

Due to fear, the puppet officers and soldiers could not march fast at all. The commander of the puppet army of the Chinese army was listless and rode on his horse, and the noon sun was very vicious. The commander of the puppet army didn't care about the hot weather, he was thinking about whether he could escape the catastrophe. "Division commander, the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the south, aiming at the Japanese. This shows that the Eighth Route Army did not take us seriously at all, and asked us to rescue the Japanese, it was just a joke, it seems that the Japanese are in danger! "The chief of staff clamored.

"Damn, it's not human work to be an errand for the Japanese. Now that we have taken refuge in the Japanese, we can only consider ourselves unlucky. Is it possible for us to rush to Xiaoqinghe as soon as possible, as for when it will arrive, we have the final say. If the Japanese win, we will take advantage of the opportunity, and if the Japanese are defeated, we will join the Cantonese army. "The division commander is smart, isn't following the Japanese just to eat and drink? Count on us to desperately want to be beautiful. Suddenly, there was a piercing whistling sound in the air, and a large number of ** fell from the sky.
