When the Kuancheng Resistance Battle was in full swing, the defense of Daixian County was also carried out at the most critical time, and the Japanese army of more than 10,000 people surrounded the entire Daixian County, compared to the troops of less than 3,000 people around Ma Zheng, the strength of the Japanese army was more than three times that of the defenders.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Lieutenant General Tada were dissatisfied with the progress of the troops attacking Daixian, especially the performance of the paratrooper units. An elite paratrooper wing did not even take such a small place as Dai County under the surprise attack, and also lost most of its troops.

By the time the main wing of the 20th Division arrived in Dai County, there were less than a thousand paratroopers left. That is to say, in less than six hours, the paratrooper wing lost more than 1,500 people, plus the death of soldiers due to the mistake of the airborne landing site, an elite wing of more than 3,000 people is now less than a third left.

Compared with the huge losses, the results of the paratrooper troops were very limited, and the losses of the defenders in the city of Dai County can be said to be negligible. At first, people couldn't figure out the situation and were pressed and beaten by the paratrooper wing, and when they figured out the situation, they immediately counterattacked with all their might, if it wasn't for the main force of the 20th Division, it was possible that the paratrooper unit would be completely annihilated.

Besides, the other troops attacking Dai County, the three wings had been fighting for seven hours, and they had not advanced to the city of Dai County. According to the information left by the troops who attacked Daixian for the first time, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka knew that the focus of Daixian's fortifications was near the Daixian city wall, and as for the periphery of Daixian, it was nothing.

The Japanese army's attack can be said to be difficult, and originally Yoshio Shinozuka thought that this time, with the help of the Hattori special combat team and the Mashiko advance team, he could successfully suppress Ma Zheng's special combat team. But what he didn't expect was that on the first day of the duel, Ma Zheng's special combat team exerted great might and wiped out the offensive group of a special combat squad of the Hattori special combat team.

Although only more than 30 special combat personnel were lost, this was enough for Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka to feel distressed, you must know that this time Lieutenant General Tada Jun handed over to him to command only two troops to carry out special tasks, not to mention the Mashiko Advance Team, it cannot be regarded as a real special force at all, although the tasks performed are almost no different from special forces.

But if it is said that it is training, it is far worse, and to put it bluntly, compared with the real special combat team, the Mashiko Advance Team, which can be regarded as strong in combat effectiveness, is actually just a squadron with relatively strong combat effectiveness.

If we want to talk about the real special forces of the Imperial Japanese Army, it is still necessary to say that the special forces trained by Hattori Kuratomi, who has just been promoted to lieutenant general, are called the Hattori Special Combat Team, which is a brand-new special forces trained using German special forces training methods.

Not only is it not comparable to the 100-type submachine guns produced by the empire in the past, but even the weapons and equipment of Ma Zheng's special combat team are not comparable to the special combat team of the empire. And this special forces has been trained for more than a year, and these special combat members are all selected from the veterans or the best among the cadets, and they have at least three years of military experience, so their training results are still very impressive, and they have been unanimously praised by German instructors.

However, such a special combat unit was defeated in the first battle with Ma Zheng's unit, and was beaten out by Ma Zheng's special combat team piecemeal, killing out nine people, and then completely annihilating a combat group, and in less than half an hour of fighting, this special combat team, which had been given high hopes by the imperial army's top brass, lost a total of 27 people, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of the entire special combat team.

Of course, the special combat team did not find nothing, and in the subsequent search by the large force, the Japanese exhumed a total of 11 bodies of Chinese special combat personnel in the area where the special forces were fighting, although compared to the 27 casualties of the Japanese special combat team, the casualties of 11 people on the Chinese side were already very small. However, thinking about the tragic situation that the first special combat team of the empire was wiped out in Suiyuan two years ago, and only three people fled back, there is no doubt that the strength of the special combat team at this time has improved a lot.

I have just received a message from the North China Front Army Headquarters that China's Second Theater has organized nine divisions to cooperate with about three divisions of the First Theater to launch a counterattack in southeastern Shanxi, and has now captured Jincheng and Linfen, and the front of the troops is directed at Taiyuan.

At the same time, the two brigades of the Datong side have already gone south to rescue Dai County, and it is expected that they will be able to rush back to Dai County the morning after tomorrow at the latest. The other main force of the Suicha Military Region had already set out from Shuo County three hours ago, and it would be possible to cross the Hunhe River and arrive in Dai County in five hours at most.

Fortunately, the front army was not idle on its side, and the infantry of the independent mixed section and the two wings of the 21st Division under the command of Major General Hirata, deputy chief of staff of the front army, had already arrived at Lingqiu, and if it went well, they would be able to rush to Dai County in a day, and there would be more than 20,000 imperial troops around Dai County by then.

However, just came the news that the troops on the Lingqiu side were blocked by the army of China, and the two sides entered a white-hot stage at the beginning of the battle, and the two sides even engaged in artillery battles, so the North China Front Army Command ordered Major General Fujita, the front-line commander of Dai County, to ask them to capture Dai County within two days, and completely annihilate the defenders of Dai County and capture Ma Zheng, the commander of the Suicha Military Region.

Major General Fujita is not a reckless person, he knows very well where he is now, he is now in an extremely dangerous state, although more than 10,000 people seems to be a lot, but he knows that if it drags on in Dai County for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although it is only known that there are enemy troops coming to reinforce in the west and north, it is certainly necessary to have them in the east and south. In particular, the main force of the Suicha Military Region, the First Division, and other troops are located in Yuanping Town, and now that the main leaders of the Suicha Military Region are besieged in Dai County, how can the people of China remain indifferent. In particular, even the political opponent, the Nationalist Government, sent troops to support Ma Zheng, and the troops directly led by Ma Zheng would definitely destroy his troops at all costs and rescue Ma Zheng.

So Fujita knew that he couldn't delay it any longer now, and it would cost him his life if he delayed it any longer. Therefore, Major General Fujita urgently ordered the troops on the outskirts of Daixian to storm Daixian, and enter the city at all costs, and he wanted to fight street battles with the defenders of Daixian.

Even though he knew the danger, Major General Fujita did not think about retreating. Now he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, a chance to achieve his own glory.

What kind of person is Ma Zheng, that is a killing god, whether it is the current Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma or the actual controller of the military department, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace, all know that the commander of the Chinese Eighth Route Army, since the 12th year of Showa, there have been seventeen generals who have been lost in the hands of this Ma Zheng, including six lieutenant generals alone. At the same time, many divisions were directly erased from the battle sequence of the imperial army, and countless wings were disabled, which is definitely the number one in China.

But now the number one "war criminal", "demon king" and "sinner" of this China has been surrounded by him and his elite troops in this small China county, and 10,000 people have ventured to besiege a Chinese general, which is the first time in the history of the entire Japanese Empire, so he cannot fail, and he knows very well the consequences of defeat, even if there is a backstage to support him, the result is the same.

Of course, the possibility of success is also very great, as long as he succeeds in capturing this county, even if he only gets Ma Zheng's corpse, he will get an unprecedented reward. For Fujita, the siege of Daixian is both an opportunity and a challenge, with risks and benefits coexisting.

Relative to the risks, the benefits to be gained after success are also predictable. Not to mention anything else, the high reward offered by the base camp alone is also mouth-watering, millions of oceans are a huge amount of money even if they are placed anywhere, even if they are removed from the bounties and rewards to his subordinates, he can still leave a large amount of money, which is more than he has earned in the past few years as a general.

In addition, if the scourge of Ma Zheng is solved, promotion and promotion can also be expected. Now he is only a major general brigade commander, and if he can be appreciated by the base camp and the front army headquarters in this battle, he will be promoted to lieutenant general and division commander just around the corner.
