[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 570: Zhanjing Cheng (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

The one responsible for seizing the county seat of Jingcheng is Tie Niu's Thor Special Combat Team, and the Thor Special Combat Team has always been a trump card in Ma Zheng's hands, and it is rarely shown. Even many high-ranking officers of the Eighth Route Army did not know about www.biquge.info the existence of the Thor Special Combat Team, but only knew that there was a special operations team directly under the jurisdiction of the Suicha Military Region Headquarters, which had super combat effectiveness.

In order to smoothly seize Shimen this time, Ma Zheng specially ordered Tie Niu to personally lead two special operations squadrons with a total of 240 special combat personnel to participate in the battle, and their task was to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the remnants of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army to move westward to seize Jingcheng County, cut off the Zhengtai Railway, and cooperate with Xie Wensheng's department to seize Shimen, an important transportation town.

Regarding the strength of the Thor special combat team, Ma Zheng is very confident. With the expansion of the Suicha Military Region, the total strength of this special force created by him has also changed from more than 300 people in one brigade to 1,500 people in four brigades, and its combat effectiveness is super strong.

The 240 special combat soldiers were divided into two routes, one to capture the county seat of Jingcheng and the other to capture the Jingcheng mining area. The capture of the county seat of Jingcheng was personally commanded by Tie Niu, and the troops attacking the Jingcheng mining area were led by Zhou Ziqiang, the captain of the first brigade.

Taking advantage of the night, Tie Niu led 120 special combat team members to lurk outside the city of Jingcheng County, where he was waiting for a signal from the city. Two days ago, a 12-member special combat team had already infiltrated the county seat of Jingcheng, and according to the battle plan, the special combat team members in the city first quietly touched the sentry at the east gate, and then opened the city gate and released the disguised special combat team into the city.

As a matter of fact, there is no need to deal with a small county town with less than 300 defenders, and with the strong combat strength of the special combat team, even a strong attack will be decided in one fell swoop. However, Ma Zheng asked the special operations division to seize the county seat of Jingcheng without alarming the Japanese army in Shimen and Baoding, and pretended to be a Japanese soldier to guard there.

This requirement has infinitely increased the difficulty of the task, and in desperation, Tie Niu had no choice but to order the special combat team to adopt Li Daitao's tactics, lurking + disguise.

Suddenly, the light of the searchlights on the county city wall dimmed, and then the entire east gate fell into darkness. Immediately after that, a small light source lit up on the city wall, and at first glance it was a flashlight or something.

"Captain, there is movement, two long and one short, it's our people!" Fang Guotao, the leader of the second squadron of the first brigade, whispered.

Tie Niu looked at it carefully, the signal was correct, and then waved his big hand and said, "Act according to the original plan!" ”

"Yes"

......

At 11:40 p.m., Ma Zheng received telegrams from Tie Niu and Zhou Ziqiang one after another. They have successfully captured the county seat and the mining area, and Zhou Ziqiang reported that they rescued more than 20,000 Chinese miners and three foreign journalists when they seized the mine.

After receiving the telegram, Ma Zheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Tieniu Department to guard the county seat and the mining area. Especially Zhou Ziqiang, in addition to guarding the mining area, he also has to organize the miners and be ready to transfer at any time.

After the special combat team occupied the county seat of Jingcheng, Ma Zheng immediately ordered Xie Wensheng's troops to immediately assemble on the periphery of Shimen, and launched an attack on Shimen on the night of the 12th, starting the battle to capture Shimen.

The Japanese were unaware of the occupation of the county seat and the mining area of Jingcheng, because the Japanese military top brass firmly believed that there was no Chinese army in the vicinity, and besides, the county seat of Jingcheng was defended by danger, and it was impossible to take it silently.

Looking back at the battle in the direction of Liushuyan, before dawn on the 11th, the Japanese army, which had just rested for less than three hours, continued to attack the 47th Army in the encirclement, and after yesterday's half-day and one-night battle, the 47th Army now has less than 2,000 people left, and even the army commander Li Jiayu was seriously wounded, and now the troops are under the command of Deputy Army Commander Luo Zezhou.

However, due to the 47th Army's sworn counterattack, the Japanese army also suffered a lot of losses, losing more than 1,400 people in the attack of half a day and one night yesterday alone, and the chariot wing, which Iida Shojiro had high hopes for, was completely reduced to a pile of scrap metal, and the losses were extremely heavy.

More importantly, due to the decisive battle of Li Jiayu's department, the plan of Iida Shojiro's division to annihilate the 47th Army failed, and Zhao Shoushan's **** and Liu Enmao's 15th Army also came up, and the long-lasting battle situation put Iida Shojiro's division in a dilemma.

In the face of the front and rear attacks of the **** and the 15th Army, the Japanese army after fighting all night yesterday, the 117th Wing responsible for Zakouzi suffered extremely heavy losses, and the entire reinforced wing now has less than 1,500 people left, and the loss of more than 2,300 soldiers is as much as 2,300 people, and Iida Shojiro had no choice but to send two infantry brigades of the 25th Brigade to reinforce the Ito Wing.

At this time, Iida Shojiro also sensed the danger, although he was not afraid of the Chinese army in front of him, after all, the 47th Army had been annihilated, with 90% of the soldiers killed and wounded, and the rest was just an empty shell. And after last night's fighting, the **** and 15th armies also suffered a lot of losses, and if he was given time, it would only be a matter of time before these two armies were defeated.

But Iida Shojiro also knew that he didn't have that much time, because two days was enough time for Yan Xishan's main army to capture Jinzhong and Qingxu, and before his troops returned to Taiyuan, the people of China were already in the city. Not to mention that tens of thousands of troops of the Suicha Military Region are staring at them with fierce eyes, if they do not get rid of these Chinese troops in front of them as soon as possible and return to Taiyuan, General Umezu will have no troops to defend Taiyuan, and the final result will be the loss of Taiyuan, and the First Army will be surrounded and annihilated by more than 300,000 troops in Shanxi, and he Iida Shojiro is definitely the main culprit of the defeat of this battle.

Therefore, today Iida Shojiro gave a death order to all the troops on the front line, half a day to eliminate the 47th Army of China, defeat the 15th Army of China and the ****, if it cannot be successful, the whole army will return to Gujiao, return to Taiyuan, and absolutely no longer spend time with the people of China in this ravine where birds don't.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Before dawn, without waiting for the Japanese army to attack, the **** on the southern front took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the Takashu Wing. At the beginning of the battle, the two sides entered a white-hot stage, and the first **** was unusual, not only launched a large-scale group charge, but even transferred tanks and mountain artillery to help, which caused huge pressure on the defending Japanese army.

At the same time, the 15th Army on the Northern Front also took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops in front of them. Liu Enmao knew that although his troops were lucky enough to escape, he let Li Jiayu's 47th Army take the shot for him. But his fifteenth army is still extremely dangerous, the position of the Japanese army is now equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the fifteenth army, once this Japanese army turns around, then his fifteenth army is considered to be the end of the day, so taking advantage of Sun Weiru's lack of hesitation to fight to the death, he also ordered the troops to fight back desperately, and if they don't die, they will die in battle, so the fifteenth army also burst out with huge energy.

The remnants of the 47th Army, which was surrounded by the Japanese army, were even more red-eyed, and they had already run out of ammunition and food, but at dusk yesterday evening, the transport planes of the Second War Zone specially parachuted a large amount of supplies into their remnants. Although a large part of it was robbed by the little devils, some of it still fell into their hands, which was enough for their remnants to have the capital to continue fighting.

Shojiro Iida would never have imagined that the Shina army, which he saw as more timid and cowardly than rabbits, would transform into jackals and tigers after suffering a devastating blow, much to the shock and anger of Shojiro Iida.

The battle continued, and in the eyes of Iida Shojiro, the powerful Imperial Japanese Army was repulsed again and again, and the Shina army would launch counter-charges from time to time. This is the craziest army Iida Shojiro has seen since he led the invasion of China, he can't imagine how many people will be left in the tens of thousands of troops after this battle, and at the same time he is worried about how many of his troops will be left after this battle?

Shojiro Iida was born into a military family, his father was Iida Shunsuke, a baron from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and in his eyes, there was no qualified army in China, and the so-called elite was just a joke. I think that when he and Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji commanded the troops to attack Shanxi, Yan Xishan had nearly 200,000 Jin Sui troops and more than 100,000 central troops, and in the end they did not escape from Taiyuan like a lost dog.

But in just a few years, the people of China have the strength to compete with the divisional and regimental level of the Imperial Japanese Army, thinking about the increasingly scarce supplies and soldiers in the country in the past two years, Iida Shojiro's heart suddenly sank, and a sense of foreboding arose.
