After giving the order, Liu Yimin calculated the strength of the 15th Brigade Mixed Reading.

This mixed brigade was formed as part of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, and was under the command of the 13th Infantry Wing of Goto Juro Osa, the 30th Infantry Wing of Toru Iokura Osa, the 2nd Cavalry Wing of Hondatake Minami Nakasa, the 2nd Field Artillery Wing of Takahashi Tsuro Osa, the 3rd Engineer Wing of Ito Seihiro Osa, and a light and heavy squadron. It is much stronger than the first mixed brigade of Reading Power stationed in Taiyuan City. However, today a brigade has been eliminated in Yangquan, and although the battle time for attacking Niangzi Pass is short, the losses of the 15th Brigade must be very large.

I know how effective my troops are. This is different from the field battle between Chen Dayong's Seventh Brigade and the Dibu Jiagui Detachment, but according to Xiongguan, and there are fortifications operated by the Jin Sui Army for many years, Zhang Hongtao's casualties are so large, the enemy's casualties must be much larger, at least three to one. Of course, Zhang Hongtao's casualties mainly came from the strong attack of the frontal enemy, and the 15th Brigade of Reading Force arrived late, and it was only attacked twice, but in any case, it was no problem to consume one of his brigades.

In this way, even if the Pingxingguan and Xinkou meetings were mixed into 15 brigades and regiments after the battle, there would be four infantry brigades, a cavalry wing, an engineer wing, and a field artillery wing. With the strength of our army in the direction of Niangzi Pass, it is no problem to take it down, the key is not to underestimate the enemy.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Yimin still sent another telegram to Zeng Zhongsheng, explaining the composition of the strength of the 15th Brigade and the 15th Brigade and Regiment, and once again emphasizing that the enemy artillery should be attracted to open fire with a feint, and then concentrate the artillery fire to destroy the enemy artillery. Then, the enemy's entrenched positions and key points were attacked with firepower. Force the enemy to break through on its own, and give full play to the advantages of our army's large number of automatic weapons, 60 mortars, and rocket launchers, so as to completely defeat the enemy.

After Zeng Zhongsheng received the telegram, he knew that it was the first time that the division commander had not personally gone to the battlefield, and he could not rest assured, so he directly sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, asking him to rest assured and promise to resolutely complete the task. Then I made the final deployment, and I started to close the network.

The 15th Brigade arrived at the battlefield at five o'clock in the afternoon, and when it arrived, it was engaged in the attack. Zhang Hongtao's Sixth Brigade had clearly observed the location of the troops and the artillery positions, and had already reported them to Zeng Zhongsheng and Li Chang, the commander of the artillery brigade who arrived later. It can be said that Liu Yimin's worries are unnecessary. If the artillery brigade had been at Niangzi Pass, it would have beaten the enemy to the ground a long time ago.

At 11 p.m., Zeng Zhongsheng ordered the artillery group to open fire.

Li Chang had been waiting for the order to open fire for a long time, and as soon as he received the order, he immediately ordered the field artillery regiment and the mountain artillery regiment to cover and fire at the positions of the enemy's field artillery wing in the demarcated area.

Poor Major General Seiichiro Shinohara only found out that he was trapped in the encirclement, and did not find that two artillery regiments had come under the cover of night. He originally thought that the guns of the [***] team were not as many as him, and the range was not as far as his, and the rifles were all old-fashioned rifles, which were close to each other and had fewer bullets. After a while, organize artillery to bombard with all their might, and the infantry can tear a hole in the charge and retreat at night. If the squadron dares to pursue, then ambush or counterattack, and then retreat calmly. Such an elite reading power is mixed into the 15th brigade, not to mention the ordinary squadron, even when encountering the most elite Chinese Central Army, there is no problem at all for a brigade to beat him two or three divisions. Now, seeing the swarms of shells flying across the night sky and smashing into the position of his field artillery wing, Shinohara's heart flickered straight down, until he fell into the ice cave. He finally understood how Taiyuan Jiancheng was breached in such a short period of time. It turns out that the [***] team also has such a powerful artillery!

Without waiting for Seiichiro Shinoha to wake up from his shock, after completing the firing of five salvos at the enemy's artillery position and seeing the firework of the enemy's artillery position, Li Chang commanded the artillery group to quickly turn around and begin to carry out a rapid fire attack on the enemy's attack assembly area.

This hit the devil's vital point. Because Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, after receiving the telegram from Seishiro Itagaki, decided to withdraw to Hebei, and had already sent a reconnaissance detachment to find the road, all the devil's troops had been assembled, except for an infantry squadron that was on guard for the attack position on Niangzi Pass and a cavalry brigade that was on guard for the railway and highway in the direction of Binh Dinh, this group of old devils from the Kwantung Army were all on standby in the whole team, preparing to retreat. This group of shells fell, and the old devils were blown up at once, especially those cavalry, who couldn't even control their horses, and the people shouted and screamed, so it was so lively.

To say that the discipline of this devil soldier is really not Gaidi, the breakout order did not come down, although they crawled on the ground or ran to avoid the shelling, but they did not leave the area around the gathering place. This is tantamount to exposing yourself to the night sky that is red by shells.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the Eighth Brigade looked at the power of the artillery group, and shouted over and over again, little devils, you also have today, while using signal flares to indicate the direction of artillery shelling, and letting the artillery group chase the figures of the devils' troops running in all directions.

At this time, there was no need to teach the signal instructions of the reconnaissance company of the Sixth Brigade, and the goal of the army was clear, and the artillery brigade's own observers could accurately guide the artillery bombardment. Wherever there is a devil's brigade assembled, it will fight wherever it goes, and the devil's formed troops will fight wherever it flees. In the absence of the threat of aircraft bombing, the shells of the artillery brigade exploded on the heads and feet of the old devils as if they had eyes.

The artillery group was singing, the shells were singing, the artillery was singing, but these old devils who fought from the northeast to north China kept shouting birds, wailing, and screaming, and were pulled and pushed by China's black and white impermanence, and threw themselves into the arms of Anameasu.

The Devil Cavalry Brigade, which was on guard against the railways and highways in the direction of Binh Ding, saw that the large army was struggling under the artillery fire of the Central [***] team, so it decided to storm the artillery position of the [***] team and win a glimmer of life for the large army.

The brave devil cavalry no longer considered the concealed formation, turned out from under the hidden mountain bag, mounted the whole team, lit it with flashlights, leaned down, and rushed towards the artillery position of the [***] team in the center.

Of course, the devil cavalry knew that the consequences of such an impact were likely to be all jade shatters, but the devil soldiers at this time were basically freaks instilled by the spirit of bushido, and they were extremely indifferent to life, and they were not afraid of the infantry firepower of the [***] team on the opposite side, and they had to use speed to win.

How do these devils know what the concept of teaching the firepower of the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Brigade is, where do they know what kind of business Gao Yuan, Li Qing, and Hong Chaoyuan do, and how anxious the infantry are when they are robbed of the limelight by artillery? As soon as the Devil Cavalry Brigade launched a formation charge, it was immediately discovered by the troops of the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, and the 5th Brigade, which were shrinking the encirclement, and all came up with mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and 1 August automatic rifles. In 10 minutes at most, a brigade of more than 500 devil cavalry, including men and horses, all turned into corpses.

Zeng Zhongsheng really understood this time, it turned out that when he heard about the Battle of Xinkou, a regiment of the [***] team went up and was quickly wiped out, and it seems that it was not killed in fighting with the enemy with bayonets, throwing grenades, and rifles, but by the enemy's aircraft and artillery. Since there are so many shells left by the devils and Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, and the division commander has repeatedly emphasized that he uses the shells to talk to the enemy, there is no need to save himself, so he will send the devils back to his hometown according to the requirements of the division commander for saturation strikes!

The shelling continues. The field artillery and mountain artillery groups of the artillery brigade continued to roar, and the artillery of the brigades, which were constantly compressing the encirclement, also began to join the battle group and carry out a second artillery bombardment in close proximity. In the words of the plateau, it is to give every inch of land to the possible gathering place of the army.

Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, finally woke up, the scene in front of him made him feel like he was in a nightmare, the two infantry wings, an engineer wing, and a cavalry wing that he was preparing to break through had just gathered their forces and were preparing to break through at night. In particular, the ending of the suicide attack of the cavalry brigade that served as a guard just now made Major General Seiichiro Shinohara feel that his impression of the [***] team was completely subverted, and such a powerful firepower was completely a raging hellfire, which wanted to turn the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were accustomed to fighting into ashes. What a ruthless Chinese!

Listening to the rumbling cannons, looking at the cannonballs flying in the sky, and then looking at the soldiers who were constantly being shaken up by the cannonballs and walking in the night sky, Shinohara Seiichiro tears of regret flowed, how good it would be if he led his troops away directly after the attack did not go well, where would there be such a situation where the entire army would be wiped out immediately. These are all elite veterans of the Kwantung Army, and they can't imagine being buried under the Niangzi Pass.

Seiichiro Shinohara, who finally lowered his haughty head, sent one last telegram to General Shouichi Terauchi, with only ten words on it: "My soldiers dance under artillery fire!" ”

After sending the telegram and looking at the situation on the battlefield, Shinohara Seiichiro had to admit that it was no longer possible to organize a broken siege in a formation, which would make it easier for the firepower of the squadron to be powerful and the troops to be destroyed faster. The strong reading power mixed into the 15th brigade and the whole army is shattered in front of you!

The situation on the battlefield no longer allows Seiichiro Shinohara's to sigh anymore. He drew his command knife and ordered the military flag to be burned, the confidential documents to be destroyed, and the whole army dispersed to break through and return to Shijiazhuang to concentrate.

This order is equivalent to announcing the collapse of the 15th Brigade of the Reading Power Mix, and whoever can escape is the fate of whoever, but unfortunately, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, who did not know, came to the burning land of China, and met the instructor who has always been the best to eradicate evil against the invaders, and they are destined to be annihilated.

Shinohara Seiichiro fell to his knees, facing east, pulled off his military uniform, his eyes were full of tears, his mouth muttered to himself, and in the exclamation of the guards, he stabbed his sword into the stomach.

With the death of Seiichiro Shinohara, the remnants of the army who received the order to disperse and break out of the siege were defeated, like sparrows in a net, scattered and rushed in all directions, in a vain attempt to break out of the net. The Sixth Brigade of the Sect and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades of the Sect that came up from three sides, and more than 40,000 elite troops, spread their nets and went to the middle net, and the resistance of the devils turned from small units to scattered, and finally they could only occasionally hear a few angry bird songs and the crisp sound of the crisp 38 big covers, and in the end, the remnants of the devils were red-eyed, holding the 38 big covers with bayonets, holding grenades, and holding explosives bags, in a vain attempt to die with the soldiers, and the results were all beaten to death without exception. The cheers of the soldiers after the meeting reverberated for a long time under the mountain behind Niangzi Pass.

On the night of November 20, 1937, the 15th Brigade of Reading Force, which was composed of a part of the arrogant Second Division of the Kwantung Army, finally ended its evil history of invading China and crisscrossing Northeast China and North China under the siege of the Ninth Xiongguan Niangzi Pass in Shanxi, China, and thousands of soldiers turned into thousands of fragmented and unrecognizable corpses.

At the same time that the 15th Brigade was mixed into the 15th Brigade led by Liu Jianli, the 2nd Brigade, the 4th Brigade, and the 7th Brigade led by Liu Jianli, as well as the heavy firepower units, encircled and annihilated the 2nd Brigade and the Dibujia Gui Brigade, and the battle also opened at the same time.

Chashang Village is in the north of Yangqu County, in the middle of Yangqu County to Xinkou, and the Tongpu Railway has made a big turn here, so it is only a few kilometers away from Chashang Village to the Tongpu Railway.

To the north of Chashang Village is Dongzhuang, and to the south is Nangou, and the three villages are almost in a straight line, blocking the way for the Second Brigade to flee to the Longhai line.

Liu Yimin's initial order to Chen Dayong was to lead Di Bu Jiagui's troops to the mountains of western Jin until Di Bu Jiagui exchanged fire with the Jin Sui army in western Jin. Because the time for Taiyuan to conquer was too fast, it was impossible for the embankment to go further west, so Chen Dayong's task became to monitor and consume the embankment and not to garrison the troops, and later it became to coerce the embankment detachment, attracting the second brigade of reading power to come to the aid and rendezvous with the embankment detachment. Although the specific tasks have changed three times, the goal has always been to eliminate the Dibugui troops and the Second Brigade of Reading Force.

Since leaving Taiyuan on the afternoon of the 19th, Di Bujiagui has been led by Chen Dayong's troops, and the two sides have kept exchanging fire, and the casualties are roughly equal. However, the strength of the Seventh Brigade is three times that of the embankment, and the troops can surround the embankment at any time. It wasn't until I received the news of the fall of Taiyuan that I didn't know that I had fallen into the hands of my opponent, and people were holding their noses and teasing them!

Immediately afterwards, Tsuki Bujiagui received an order from Terauchi Shouichi, asking him to lead his troops to merge with the Second Brigade of Reading Power and return to defend Xinkou.

Unlike Seishiro Itagaki in that they are middle-level officers, they are active, conscientious, and loyal in carrying out orders. At that moment, it was necessary to disengage from the Seventh Brigade and quickly return eastward. It's a pity that at this time, the Seventh Brigade stopped working, and Chen Dayong gave an order, and the troops actually caught up, and there was a faint encirclement. While directing the troops to step up their retreat in the direction of Xinkou, they asked for help from Major General Honda Zhengcai of the Second Brigade of the Reading Power Mixed Regiment, asking him to quickly reinforce and retreat to Xinkou together.

As long as the two armies join forces, the [***] team chasing behind will definitely stop the pursuit, and they can stop retreating to Xinkou, because since the incident in Manchuria, as long as the imperial army takes the initiative to attack, the [***] team always loses its armor and flees in embarrassment, even if it does not flee and resists on the spot, it will also end in failure. Although Taiyuan is lost now, it is only caused by the sneak attack of the central [***] team when the main force of the imperial army leaves Taiyuan, as long as the army returns to help, the Chinese will obediently hand over Taiyuan.

To the surprise of Honda Masasai and Tsukibu, the [***] team that was chasing after them did not mean to stop the pursuit at all, but kept hanging behind them. This unit has a small cavalry unit, the marksmanship is particularly accurate, and the mortars and machine guns on the horses are particularly accurate, as long as the soldiers of the imperial army walk a little slower and enter their firing range, the result is only one word: "Die!" ”

Distraught by the chase, Honda Masasai was furious and prepared his troops to halt their advance and eliminate the Chinese force that was chasing after him. However, when the troops stopped and built positions, the Chinese troops also stopped advancing, and they could not fight or leave. In this way, the two sides stopped fighting, stopped fighting, and the speed of the march naturally slowed down.

It wasn't until later that Itagaki reported that he would lead the army south, let them withdraw to Xinkou, or they could withdraw to Hebei, and Honda Zhengcai and Dike Bujia were just waking up from a dream, and Itagaki sold them, and they became a lone army. The reason why the middle [***] team behind him fought hard must be to retain the imperial army and buy time for their main force to come and encircle.

After Honda Masasai and Tsutsumi judged the situation in front of them clearly, they did not dare to hesitate, and no longer paid attention to the pursuit of the [***] team behind them, and kept leaving small troops to block the enemy, and the main force forced the march, all the way north, towards Chashang Village.

The devil is in a hurry to travel at night, and the lights on the armored car are the best target, coupled with Chen Dayong's constant notification of the direction and speed of the enemy's march, Liu Jianjian, who was born as the chief of staff, quickly determined the enemy's marching route and arranged a position in Chashang Village. This is not because of how high Liu Jianjian's level is, but because the traffic conditions were too poor at that time, and the devils not only had infantry and cavalry, but also light tanks, light armored vehicles and automobiles, and they had to take the big road.

At 10:50 p.m., Honda Masasai and Tsububuki led their troops to the vicinity of Chagami Village.

From yesterday afternoon to now, the troops are in motion, the soldiers are sleepy and tired, seeing that there is a village in front of them, Honda Masako is ready to rest here for half an hour, so that the soldiers can eat and recover their strength. Honda Masasai and Tsukibu felt that something was a little wrong, so they ordered two light tank squadrons of the 2nd Brigade and the 2nd Brigade and the Tsumi Detachment to enter the village in an attacking posture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two tank squadrons arrived at the entrance of the village, they fired strange shells one after another from the village, shattering the tanks. Honda Masasai knew that he was in trouble, and a large force of the [***] team arrived.

Just as he was about to give the order to the whole army to deploy on the spot, he heard the rumbling sound of cannons, and Honda Masaki looked up and saw that the sky was unusually bright, and a swarm of shells streaked across the night sky and smashed down on his troops, and a ghost crying wolf howl immediately sounded in the ranks.

Honda Masasai knew that he had already stepped into the Ghost Gate Pass with half a foot at this time, and he could not hesitate at all, so he immediately ordered the 4th Field Artillery Brigade to quickly open fire, bombarding the artillery position of the [***] team, the embankment detachment to seize the mountain on the left, the 1st Wing of Jiro Ishikawa Osa's to seize the mountain on the right, and the 3rd Infantry Wing of Yuasa Masao Osa's infantry to cover the brigade headquarters and cavalry and engineer units, and the rear team to break through to the front team.

It should be said that the deployment of Major General Honda Masaki was more appropriate, but unfortunately, no matter how appropriate the deployment was, it was useless, because he and his troops fell into the pocket, and it was wishful thinking to want to run out again.

Just as Major General Honda Masasai had given the order and the troops were about to deploy, dense torches were lit on the mountain beams on both sides, illuminating the devil's march that was several miles long.

Torches were also lit at the back of the team, and the squadron that had been hanging behind their marching team cut off their retreat, and the bright torches told the army that the road was no longer passable.

The torches were not terrible, but the mortars, mountain guns, and long light and heavy machine guns that were raised under the torches.

On the hillside of Chashang Village, a field artillery regiment and a 75 mortar regiment under the command of Wang Shanzhu, political commissar of the artillery brigade, were shelling incessantly, and the devil's field artillery brigade was destroyed without even erecting its artillery, and the artillery group was raging on the devil's head, ravaging the political materials of Honda and the nerves of the embankment.

As the disaster continued, mortars and heavy machine guns on the ridges on both sides joined the chorus, shattering Honda's attempt to deploy troops and seize the ridges on both sides. Honda Masasai's heart was bleeding, and he looked up to the sky and shouted, "Amaterasu, manifest your spirit quickly, and save your brave and loyal Yamato people!" ”

Amaterasu is probably lazy, and he doesn't know where to hide to sleep at this time, as if he didn't hear Honda Masasai's cry for help at all.

The shells continued to fall like hail, but the hail was a bit big, and each one that carried a stump of stumps with it, and the roads and the hillsides were littered with filthy blood, flesh, arms, and legs.

Some tenacious devils set up Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenadiers to attack the bright places of the torches, but unfortunately, they were often overturned by the shells and the cannons and guns as soon as they fired a grenade or a chain of bullets.

Honda Masasai originally thought that as long as he survived this artillery bombardment, when the infantry of the [***] team surrounded him, he would use the accurate shooting and stabbing ability of the imperial army to inflict heavy damage on the enemy and concentrate his forces to fight his way out of the encirclement. What he didn't expect was that the commander's command art of this squadron was greatly low, and he would waste artillery shells and machine gun bullets if he didn't know anything, and he didn't even bother to use rifles, but only used artillery shells, light and heavy machine gun shells to meanly torture and slaughter the imperial army.

The squadron used cannons and light and heavy machine guns to fight the Imperial Army, resulting in the accurate shooting of the Imperial soldiers being useless because they exceeded the effective range of the rifles.

Despicable Chinans! Damn the Chinese people! A Shina man who doesn't have the spirit of a samurai!
