Tungsten sand is an important military raw material, and China is famous for its rich reserves of tungsten sand and other special minerals. Japan produces almost no tungsten, although it occupies the vast coastal areas of eastern China, but most of the tungsten sand production areas are inland, and the reserves and production in the subsidence area are insignificant. However, in history, due to the participation of the first army in smuggling, tungsten sand and other military raw materials were continuously imported into the occupied areas.

"Of course, the government must strictly manage strategic materials, and there are already relevant laws and regulations." Ma Yuming didn't attach much importance to this, and said perfunctorily: "Those who violate the law and discipline will be severely punished." ”

What is the law on prohibiting drugs, what is the law on punishing traitors, what is the law on compulsory conscription, what is the law on rent and interest reduction, it has a fart to work out, and it is a mess to implement, and it has little effect!

Yang Tianfeng sighed in his heart, and he didn't want to continue to nag, so he casually asked about the latest information.

……………

Longhai Railway built two railway stations in Yucheng County, Yucheng and Li Xinji, attacked Shangqiu, and after the Yucheng puppet army took it lightly, both railway stations were occupied. However, after pulling out several road protection strongholds to the east, dismantling more than ten kilometers of railroad tracks, and leveling the roadbed, the men and horses of the three columns shrank back again, leaving only the ruins of the station and a slip of flat ground.

As a result, the Liudiquan Station (now Station Town) in the north of Xiayi became the railway station closest to the battlefield, and naturally became the forward base of the Japanese infantry regiment.

First, the chief of staff and the devils of the two brigades rushed to the station town in batches, strengthened the defense, and advanced the warning area along the railway to the junction of Yu and Xia. Then there was the transportation of heavy ammunition, vehicles and artillery, and the small station was full of all kinds of supplies.

Railway station. The captain of the devil brigade took more than a hundred devils to greet the upcoming boss, Major General Tanaka Qin, and the idlers around him had already been driven away, and the station leader Ishida stood straight and looked left and right, looking at his watch from time to time.

A group of laborers at the train station were also urgently placed in custody, and the devil soldiers surrounded them in a corner.

"These **** ones!" A dark-skinned man couldn't help but curse in a low voice, he rubbed his waist, he had just been hit by the butt of a gun from the devil soldier, and now his waist is still faintly painful!

"Listen, there's a train calling, and it's probably going to enter the station." Another man touched the dark-skinned man next to him with his elbow and asked, "I wonder what kind of turtle bastard is coming this time?!" ”

The swarthy man snorted coldly, "The ghost knows!" Half a day only complained and said: "I can't live this year, and I'm angry every day." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the porters beside him, and their rifles were all loaded with bayonets, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Shh A middle-aged man whispered, "Be quiet, don't let the interpreter listen." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at a fat man with glasses not far away.

The man stopped cursing, but he just sulked but couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and twisted a piece of hard soil in his hand and crushed it!

"Whew!" The whistle of the train whistle was heard in the distance, and it didn't take long for the train to stop slowly panting, and a lot of heavily loaded devil guards rushed down from the car.

Through the gap in the crowd, the special combat team members disguised as coolies saw a high-spirited devil officer get out of the car, the devil captain stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully, and the devil officer asked a few words,

The rank of major general, that's right, is the supreme commander of the devil. The special combat team members were expressionless, bowing their heads and looking deferential, but they remembered the layout of the station with the corner of their eyes.

"Ouch!" A coolie let out a scream, and the devil soldier kicked him, screamed a few words with a fierce face, and pointed to the loading platform not far away.

The coolies knew what the devil soldiers meant, and it was their turn to go to work, and everyone stood up, cursed in their hearts, and walked towards the loading platform.

Tanaka took the car out of the train station and into town. In the car, Tanaka Qin casually looked at the street, there were no pedestrians on the street, but it was full of vigilant devil soldiers.

"Inoguchi-kun, what is the enemy's movement?" Retracting his gaze, Tanaka's white-gloved hand tapped a few times on his thigh, the rhythm of a military song he was familiar with, and asked.

"Report to Your Excellency." The chief of staff, Iguchi, replied: "According to aerial reconnaissance, the enemy has built a defensive position in Yucheng and deployed a considerable number of troops, and it seems that he has the intention of defending it to the death. The rest of the enemies were assembled in Shangqiu, as well as in Zhouji and Guwangji in the north and south of Yucheng. In addition, the enemy sabotaged railways and roads, which increased the difficulty of the march of our troops. ”

Tanaka had already studied the map, and he didn't need to look at it to understand the situation described by the wellhead. For a long time, he didn't speak, thinking carefully. The enemy's arrangement is decent, and he puts on a posture of fighting in a dignified manner, but is this really the case?

"The troop movements in Xiayi, Shanxian, and Fengxian were not smooth, and the guerrilla forces should have received orders to intensify their attacks and harassment, so that the garrison was greatly constrained." Iguchi smiled bitterly and continued: "The lack of mobile forces is always a difficult problem to solve. ”

Tanaka Qin nodded and said solemnly: "The occupied area is too vast, and it is indeed difficult to rely on the current strength to expand steadily from point to line and then to area. But ......"

The car stopped, and a large, heavily guarded mansion was now Tanaka's temporary headquarters. The two devils got out of the car and entered the war room, and the staff officers also arrived and began the pre-war military discussion.

…………

The devil's intelligence is not accurate, at least the aerial reconnaissance only recognizes military uniforms, but it is stupid to distinguish whether it is a regular army or a joint defense team with clothes on.

Yucheng, Zhouji, and Guwangji did arrange strong troops to hold on, forming a zigzag that could echo each other to contain the enemy and make it difficult for him to storm a little. But Shangqiu was not stationed in the main force, to be precise, part of the main force plus the joint defense team that had changed clothes.

Yang Tianfeng drove back to assist in the battle, Jiang detachment, Ma Bingzhong's cavalry brigade, as well as a brigade of Guo's detachment and Song Qingpu's special combat team, and secretly arranged them near Liudian, 20 kilometers south of Yucheng, more than 30 miles from the county seat of Xiayi in the east. The Chen detachment and the Tong detachment have quietly moved, approaching the Dangshan section of Longhai Road and the southeast side of Xiayi County, and have formed a pincer attack on Xiayi County.

After measuring the distance again, the county seat of Xiayi was more than forty miles away from the station town of the Longhai Railway in the north, Yang Tianfeng nodded lightly, and he was more confident in the first attack.

Of course, it is not easy to destroy the enemy, and luring the enemy to divide the troops is still a strategy that Yang Tianfeng must vigorously implement to destroy the enemy.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the large number of Japanese troops, coupled with the continuous infiltration and development of guerrilla forces in the countryside of Xiayi, the devils of Xiayi implemented contraction and abandoned many strongholds in the surrounding areas. This undoubtedly provided more favorable conditions for attacking the county seat of Xiayi, and the troops could travel long distances, but there were not many obstacles on the road.

The reason why so many troops were mobilized to attack Xiayi was that Yang Tianfeng had to play the old trick of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. If you don't come to the rescue, then I'll let the army march north and threaten your base, Station Town; If you come to the rescue, then I'm sorry, ambush halfway, fight a battle of annihilation.

And judging from the comparison and distribution of troops in eastern Henan, the devils have not yet begun to attack, and they are already facing the danger of being cut off from the back road. As long as the detachments of Chen and Tong attack fiercely in Dangshan and Yongcheng, it is certain that the Longhai Road will be cut off.

It's just that Yang Tianfeng doesn't want the burden of the three verticals to be too heavy and the casualties too great, so there are ready-made teammates who don't need it, so what kind of big head is it?

"Chief of Staff telegram." The confidential staff officer handed over a telegram from Liang Moqing, chief of staff who commanded Chen and Tong's detachments.

Yang Tianfeng took it, pondered for a long time, and said: "Call back, when the Japanese army in Station Town is dispatched and arrives in Yucheng, it will be more advantageous to launch again." Well, please ask the chief of staff to organize the guerrilla troops and the eyeline in the city in advance, and infiltrate Xiayi in disguise as an internal response. ”

When the confidential staff officer left, Yang Tianfeng remembered one more thing and instructed the guards, "Invite Zhao Zhenzhong, I have something to find him." ”

Zhao Zhenzhong is Zhang Lanfeng's subordinate, the former commander of the National Salvation Army stationed in Yucheng, and he is also from the Northwest Army. After receiving the secret letter from Song Kebin and others, he chose to revolt anyway, which played a great role in the capture of Yucheng.

If it was a ruffian hooligan, or some other messy background, Yang Tianfeng wouldn't care about him. But this Zhao Zhenzhong not only opened the city anyway, but also dared to fight back against the devil, which attracted Yang Tianfeng's attention. During the chat, Yang Tianfeng also learned that Zhao Zhenzhong had a relative in Xiayi who was a puppet army officer.

At that time, Zhao Zhenzhong kept saying that he wanted to rebel against this relative, but Yang Tianfeng just asked him to make some preparations and did not rush to work. Now, it's time to use this pawn.

……………

The Japanese army was dispatched and attacked.

No matter how Tanaka Qin urged, there were still not many troops that could be transferred from the surrounding area, and only a temporary brigade (more than 600 people) was put together, but Tanaka Qin couldn't wait indefinitely.

What stimulated Tanaka Qin was that Zhecheng was blown open in several huge earthquakes and roars, and hundreds of devils resisted desperately, and under the onslaught of thousands of troops, they did not change the fate of being completely annihilated in the end.

At this point, there is no longer a large stronghold that can bind the enemy's forces. And if you wait one more day, the enemy's position will be strengthened, and the number of people may increase again, Tanaka is clear about this.

Conquering Yucheng and Shangqiu, and reopening the Longhai Railway, Tanaka Qin set the goal, not expecting to completely defeat the enemy, take back Huaiyang and Zhecheng, restore eastern Henan to its previous situation, and wait for an opportunity to form a flanking attack with friendly forces in western Henan. It can also be seen that Tanaka is still very cautious and very small in terms of operations.

Yucheng seems to have been built quite well by the enemy, and Tanaka sent Kurosawa's brigade as the first attack, because Kurosawa is known as a fierce general, and now is the time when a fierce general is needed.

But Tanaka obviously didn't know Kurosawa, after all, Kurosawa's brigade was drawn from other units, not his original infantry regiment. Generally speaking, the fierce general is also a statement of lack of IQ in some ways. (To be continued.) )
