Night falls, and the evening breeze blows.

The Shicun stronghold composed of three turrets is like three monsters, quietly crouching at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, the Shicun stronghold is one of the dozens of strongholds near the county seat of Pingding, and the only purpose of the army stationed in Shanxi Province to build these turrets was to monitor the Baoshan Division entrenched in the Jingcheng Pass.

However, since it retreated into Jingcheng Pass more than two months ago, there has been no major movement in the Baoshan Division, so these dozens of strongholds have basically not played any role, but on the contrary, the nearby Eighth Route Army guerrillas have been forced to take down more than a dozen artillery towers and strongholds, and have lost a lot of personnel and equipment.

However, even if this is the case, the army stationed in Shanxi will never dare to give up these turrets and strongholds.

Xiangyue Qingji, commander of the First Army of the Yue Army, also knew very well in his heart that this was the most difficult time for the Shanxi Yue Army, and as soon as the Battle of Wuhan was over, the First Army would immediately return to the full organizational structure, and then the Yue Army would be able to carry out a large-scale law and order suppression battle against the occupied areas, and the good fortune of the Chinese would come to an end.

In the dark night, a team of more than 100 people appeared near the stronghold.

This team was a district squad of the Eighth Route Army in Pingding County, and was ordered to cooperate with [***] in attacking the Shicun stronghold.

A group of people went into the sorghum field near the stronghold and lurked, and one of them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old soldier who asked their squad leader: "Brother Leopard, this Shicun stronghold is a big stronghold, there are three artillery towers alone, and there are seven pillboxes, and there is a squad of devils stationed there, can [***] take it?" ”

The squad leader, nicknamed Leopard, said angrily: "You ask Russia, Russia asks who to go?" ”

The little soldier sighed, and didn't dare to say anything more, and the leopard squad leader said to the rest of the team members: "Brothers, listen carefully to Lao Tzu, and when the [***] brothers come, you have to cheer up, you can't lose the face of our Eighth Route Army, you know?" The head of the Reading Regiment Wang can say that if this battle is fought, let us join the regular army. ”

When the Bailai guerrillas heard this, they all suddenly became as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their spirits rose.

These guerrillas' support for the Eighth Route Army is absolutely from the heart, and they are indeed full of expectations for joining the regular army, of course, they only want to join the Eighth Route Army, and never want to join the [***], in the eyes of these poor farmers, [***] is towards the landlords, and they are not all the way.

Although China had not yet implemented the land reform policy at this time, it had already shown an unparalleled attraction to the poor people, because after the Eighth Route Army came to Shanxi, it imposed a policy of rent reduction and interest reduction, and the poor not only filled their stomachs, but even began to have surplus food.

Therefore, the people of Shanxi sincerely support the Eighth Route Army, and hope that the Eighth Route Army will not leave from now on, because they are afraid that after the Eighth Route Army leaves, they will return to the old days when they were not well fed and clothed, and those large and small landlords will not be able to pay higher rents to tenants, so they will not be able to live.

…………

At the same time, a convoy of four trucks slowly drove out of Niangzi Pass.

The truck was also towed four 37mm anti-aircraft guns, which were a leading company of the anti-artillery battalion of the artillery regiment directly under the Baoshan Division, led by Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Guowei, deputy head of the artillery regiment, and the task of the anti-artillery advance company was to clear more than 50 strongholds in Zhengding County at fixed points with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, so as to clear the obstacles for the advance of the follow-up troops.

In order to ensure the safety of the anti-artillery company of the advance battle, Yue Weihan sent an infantry battalion to accompany him to protect him.

The 12 anti-aircraft guns of the artillery regiment are Yue Weihan's treasures, and 8 anti-aircraft guns have been deployed into the Tumen Fortress to deal with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Yue army, and the remaining 4 have been transferred to the Western Front, which is specially used to eliminate the artillery towers of the Yue army at fixed points.

…………

Ishimura stronghold.

A flat ground was carved out in the middle of the three turrets, which was not only a training ground for the army, but also a casino.

Second Lieutenant Nakamura, the leader of the garrison team of the Ishimura stronghold, was wearing only a pair of crotch pants, his legs were slightly bent, and his arms were like two pincers of a praying mantis spread to both sides.

Sumo is the national art of Xiao Yuben, and most devils are obsessed with it.

The two confronted each other for a moment, and Second Lieutenant Nakamura suddenly roared angrily, and suddenly took two steps forward to frame the shoulders of the military Cao, and at the same time stretched out his right foot and gently hooked it.

The ghost soldiers who were watching around immediately cheered.

Second Lieutenant Nakamura waved his hand proudly.

At this moment, a crisp sound of "horn" suddenly sounded under the dark night sky, and the twenty or so devil soldiers watching around were horrified to see that the head of their squad leader had burst open like a crushed egg, and the red meat scraps and white brains splattered out more than ten meters away!

"Baga, Tubalu sneak attack, hurry back to the turret!"

The two dozen or so devil soldiers reacted quickly, and they all hid in the turret to catch their breath.

Immediately, fierce gunfire rang out under the night sky, and three crooked light machine guns poked out of the firing holes in the turret and fired indiscriminately at the sorghum ground all around, and the 40-odd devil infantry also raised their 38 rifles one after another and fired indiscriminately at all sides, not to mention, several guerrillas were really shot and wounded.

The gunfire lasted for about a dozen seconds, and then there were three loud bangs.

In the dazzling firelight, the three turrets distributed in the shape of pins suddenly collapsed, and in just a few seconds, the three turrets in the Shicun stronghold were already in ruins, and more than 20 devil soldiers were all buried alive.

…………

Zhengding County, the headquarters of the 80th Infantry Wing of the 20th Division of the Army.

Akiyama Osa was awakened from his sleep by a rapid phone ringing, the phone was from the Ishimura stronghold, saying that it was attacked by a sniper from the Tsuchihachi Road, and Second Lieutenant Yoshio Nakamura had been shattered, and before he finished speaking, there were several loud bangs in the microphone, and the phone was cut off immediately.

"Hey, hey, hey......" Akiyama Osa shouted a few times, but no one responded from there.

"Yagayalu." Akiyama Osa threw down the microphone and turned back to Deputy Wing Commander Kamei Nakasa, "Kamei-kun, you immediately lead the 3rd Infantry Brigade to reinforce the Ishimura stronghold!" ”

"Hello." Kamei Nakasa suddenly bowed his head and immediately took the order.

…………

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Army.

Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji buttoned up the wind and discipline button, and sorted out the straight military uniform on his body, and then strode into the headquarters war room, before that, the commander of the 20th Division, Lieutenant General Yamashita Keitake, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yue Sheng Toranosuke, and the head of the army's special agency in Shanxi, Inoue Yasushi, had already arrived.

Kazuki Kiyoji strode to the simulated sand table and said in a deep voice, "What's the situation?" ”

The chief of staff of the 20th Division, Yue Sheng Toranosuke, said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the 80th Infantry Wing, a stronghold in Zhengding County has been sneak attacked, and an imperial samurai is broken, but the specific situation is still unknown, Akiyama-kun has sent an infantry brigade to the accident site, I believe there will be definite news soon." ”

"I see." Kiyoji Kazuki nodded, and the hanging heart fell back into his stomach.

Xiangyue Qingji thought that it was a big attack by the Baoshan Division, in that case, he had to immediately notify the army stationed in Fenyang and Lao County to move closer to Taiyuan, but since it was just a stronghold that was attacked and only one soldier was sacrificed, it was just an attack on Tuba Road, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

As soon as Kazuki Kiyoji breathed a sigh of relief, a young officer had already walked out of the communication room with a stern expression, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and stood upright, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, the 80th Infantry Wing sent an urgent telegram, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade sent to the Shicun stronghold was ambushed by the Shina Army on the way, the Shina Army has at least two regiments of troops, well-equipped, and even has a 75mm caliber field howitzer group, the firepower is very fast, due to lack of preparation, after half an hour of fierce fighting, The 80th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Wing has been collectively shattered! ”

"What!?"

"Half an hour, the collective jade shattered!?"

"An infantry brigade, more than a thousand imperial warriors!?"

The operational staff officers in the war room suddenly exclaimed.

"The Baoshan Division must be the main force of the Baoshan Division!" Yuesheng Tiger Nosuke said awe-inspiringly, "To destroy an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army in half an hour, only the Baoshan Division has such strength!" Moreover, only the Baoshan Division could have a field howitzer group of 75mm caliber, it must be them! ”

"Command!" Xiangyue Qingji said in a deep voice, "The 3rd Brigade of Reading Power Mixed in Laoxian County and the 16th Brigade of Reading Power Mixed in Fenyang immediately moved closer to Taiyuan, and then sent a report to Beiping, the main force of the Baoshan Division had left the west of Niangzi Pass last night and was attacking in the direction of Zhengding County, requesting urgent tactical guidance from the Front Army Headquarters!" ”

…………

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

When Kiyoji Kazuki's telegram arrived in Beiping, General Sugi was having fun in the army's comfort station.

In order to meet the physical needs of officers and men and relieve the mental pressure caused by long-term fighting in a foreign land, the base camp of the army recruited hundreds of thousands of young women from the colonies of the island, Taiwan, and Korea and sent them to the front line to serve as comfort women.

When the adjutant walked into the room with a telegram, Sugi had just finished his work.

The North Korean comfort woman who had just served Shanshanyuan didn't even wear clothes, just lying naked on her side on the bed, her snow-white buttocks were facing the door, and the young adjutant couldn't help but look at it twice, and the North Korean comfort woman suddenly looked back and saw that it was a young and handsome military officer, and couldn't help but throw a flattering eye at the adjutant.
