[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 308: The collapsed Abe Norixiu (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for subscription, ask for recommendation!) ）

The military town of Datong was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the North China Front Army was shocked and angry, and the commander of the Front Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, was furious, and at the same time ordered the commander of the Mongolian Army, Hou Gong Chun, to immediately send troops to recover Datong and its surrounding areas.

However, Terauchi Shouichi also knew that now that Datong had been lost, it was impossible for the strength of the Mongolian army to break through the resistance of many troops of the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time and rush to Datong.

Immediately after the order of the North China Front Headquarters, Lieutenant General Harem Jun convened a meeting of the senior officers of his headquarters, and soon an operational plan with the 16th Division, the 27th Division, and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade as the main combat forces was drawn up, and it was immediately distributed to all units for implementation.

Although the battle in Datong City has ended, the battle on the periphery has not ended, but has become more intense.

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the 30th, the 19th Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, under the command of Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, arrived at the outskirts of Tianzhen and engaged in a fierce battle with Yang Chengwu's 92nd Division.

Although the Japanese army did not have a large number of troops, only a reinforced wing and some artillery units, and there were less than 5,000 people when the battle was full, this small Japanese army had more than 100 fighters of an aviation group to fight together. Although Yang Chengwu's department occupied the absolute right time, place and people, it still suffered heavy casualties.

In view of the fact that the Japanese attack was too fierce and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, Ma Zheng ordered Yang Chengwu's troops to abandon all the fortifications and positions on the periphery of Tianzhen if necessary, and even the county seat of Tianzhen.

In addition to the battle on the Tianzhen side, the battle on the Yinshan front line also continued, although the Independent Mixed Second Brigade already knew that Datong was captured by the Eighth Route Army. Even if it is rushed now, it will not be of any use, but according to the latest operational orders of the front army, the independent mixed second brigade must arrive at the outskirts of Datong before dark today.

Knowing that the Japanese army wanted to recapture Datong with heavy troops, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army immediately instructed Ma Zheng's troops to appropriately shrink their forces, and there was no need to fight with the Japanese army in Datong, and Datong City could be abandoned if necessary. At the same time, the 120th Division, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and other units were ordered to block enemy reinforcements at all costs. Provide strong support for Ma Zheng's department to evacuate Datong.

Out of the importance of the Japanese air force, Ma Zheng ordered almost all the troops on the front line to go underground. Wait until the evening is in action, after all, no matter how powerful the Japanese Air Force is, it is impossible to come out at night to carry out a mission.

However, the Japanese army was not stupid, knowing that Ma Zheng took care of their air force, and at the same time, they also knew that Ma Zheng's unit lacked effective air supremacy weapons, so the frequency of Japanese aircraft sorties was extremely frequent.

With Ma Zheng's instructions, Yang Chengwu no longer fought with the Japanese army and began to withdraw from the front-line positions one after another. However, the 92nd Division did not flee in a hurry, but turned from positional warfare to mobile warfare.

It is forty-five kilometers from the county seat of Tianzhen in Huai'an. Along the way, Yang Chengwu's headquarters laid no less than 100 sniper positions, and more than 100 snipers alone were dispatched, and thousands of mines were planted on the road that the Japanese army had to pass.

The march of Abe Norihide's army then entered another painful journey, and the march along the way reminded Abe of the situation he encountered when he "entered" Chahar before, and how similar it was to the situation he encountered now.

It's just that the strength of Ma Zheng's department was still very weak at that time, and there were few snipers, and they were relatively scattered. And now that Ma Zheng's department has developed and grown, the most important thing is a marksman. There were also enough sniper rifles, so the snipers of the Eighth Route Army along the way brought extremely heavy casualties to the Japanese army. looked at the comrades-in-arms who were talking and laughing just now. When it became an unrecognizable corpse in the blink of an eye, a large part of the Japanese army showed timidity.

However, to be able to sit in this position, Lieutenant General Norihide Abe is not a fool. He knew that the longer he dragged on the road, the more disadvantageous it would be to himself, and the retreat of the Eighth Route Army was not because they were not good at fighting, nor because they were afraid of his troops, but because they were afraid of the air force in the sky. So retreated for the time being. As long as it gets dark, when the aviation forces are unable to act, these hateful China will reappear, and then it will be a bloody battle.

Therefore, it is necessary to break through the current blockade of Tuba Road as soon as possible and take the county seat of Tianzhen before dark. As a result, Norihide Abe sent five rapid reaction units. Responsible for dealing with the blockers and endless blocking squads of the Eighth Route Army. These rapid reaction squads are all equipped with individual and heavy weapons such as sniper rifles and artillery guns, and can effectively deal with the elusive China Turquoise.

Although the last five rapid reaction forces suffered extremely heavy losses, they ensured the rapid march of the troops to a certain extent, and the 19th Wing finally reached the outskirts of Tianzhen at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. By the time they reached the territory of Tianzhen, the pesky Shina snipers had finally retreated, and it was less than three hours before dark.

Despite this, Major General Abe Norihide was still very glad, if he was one of those young officers who had no experience in dealing with it, he would probably be overwhelmed by the Dirt Eight Road, and it would not have been possible to reach Tianzhen before night. If it had been until it got dark, it would have been a different story. At that time, a large number of Tsubachi appeared around the Imperial Army like hungry wolves, launching a frantic attack on his troops.

Sometimes Abe Norihide also feels that he is really unlucky, why don't others look for that killer, but he can find him every time. After he became the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, his headquarters suffered a heavy blow. Now that he has been promoted to the rank of division commander, the headquarters has been hit again.

Although there is no specific casualty figure yet, it is completely conceivable that only the 13th Wing stationed in Hunyuan, Guangling, and Yingxian has almost no losses among the three infantry wings under its command, and the remaining two wings have lost contact. Losing contact at this time is definitely not a good thing, and the results are likely to be very serious.

Although Abe Norihide is reluctant to admit it, the facts are in front of him, and his two infantry wings are likely to have been collectively shattered. If that were the case, he, the division commander, would probably have come to an end.

What worries Abe Norihide even more is the safety of the mining area, others don't know the importance of the mining area, how could Abe Norihide, as the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Datong, not know, so when he left Zhangjiakou, Abe Norihide called Aiko Sato and asked her to immediately find a way to confirm the situation in the mining area, and if possible, let the gendarmerie destroy the evidence as soon as possible.

It's a pity that there has been no news from Aiko Sato's side until now, and this lack of news is the worst news. If the mining area is safe and sound, how can it not be contacted with the pervasive espionage ability of the special high class, there has been no news for so long, it must be something wrong with the mining area.

The thought of the possibility of a lot of bad luck in the mining area made Abe Norihide feel a breakdown. The chief of staff is lowly and low, so he naturally doesn't know the cats of the Datong mining area, but as the supreme commander of the town guarding the Datong side, Abe Norihide knows what that place is for.

If something goes wrong in that place, there are not one or two people who will be unlucky, especially after the secret inside is exposed, there will be a large number of people involved. And he, the general of the town guard, will bear the brunt, unless General Shouichi Terauchi intercedes for him. However, it is almost impossible, and Terauchi Shouyi may not be able to get out safely when the time comes.

In addition, Abe Norihide also knew that a direct senior member of the Iwasaki family happened to be in Datong to inspect its company in the past two days, and the young man seemed to be very arrogant. If that Mr. Iwasaki gets away with it, it's fine, but once he encounters the murderous Ma Zheng department, the chances of survival are slim.

Thinking of the special status of the Mitsubishi consortium controlled by the Iwasaki family in the country, Abe's only feeling was that the sky was falling. Don't look at him, a lieutenant general in the army, who seems to outsiders to be in a high position, but in front of a giant like the Mitsubishi Foundation, it is simply not enough. Once the descendants of the Iwasaki family died in his own defense zone, Abe Norihide did not dare to imagine that the wrath of the Iwasaki family would burn him to ashes. (To be continued.) )
