[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 451: The bigwigs who were alarmed in the middle of the night (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Looking at the Japanese lieutenant general in front of him with an unbelievable look, Tie Niu said coldly: "Nothing is impossible, the only thing you can do now is to surrender immediately, otherwise Hasunuma Pan, Naito Yi, and Fujie Keiza will be your role models!" ”

Honma Masaharu was completely stunned, he was a proud person, although many people in the base camp had been questioning his command level, but Honma Masaharu didn't care, he believed that his tactical level was still okay. When he first heard that His Excellency Hasunuma Pan was killed in battle by the people of China, he still sneered at this, but he didn't expect that only a year later, he would follow in the footsteps of Hasunuma Pan.

Honma Masaharu sighed, then closed his eyes, and then said: "You guys do it, the Great Japanese Imperial Army only has generals who died in battle, and there are no cowards who surrendered!" ”

"Smack!"

Iron Bull didn't make any extra moves, and a bullet answered Masaharu Honma.

Seeing Honma Masaharu's body slowly falling, Tie Niu immediately said, "Withdraw!" ”

When Tie Niu led the special combat team to the headquarters of the 27th Division, Li Zhiguo and the battalion that had infiltrated Datong City suddenly appeared behind the Japanese army at the North Gate, and then suddenly attacked.

Although they had less than a battalion of troops, their combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of a regiment of ordinary troops, especially in terms of firepower. The KA assault rifles, which were equivalent to each person holding a light machine gun, quickly defeated the Japanese puppet army at the city gate, and then the city gate was opened from the inside.

After the gates were breached, the assault brigade outside the city entered the city, and street fighting began.

Although there are still six or seven thousand puppet troops in Datong City, they are leaderless, and they have not organized effective resistance at all. Coupled with the fact that they were facing the most powerful assault force under Ma Zheng's command, under the invincible combination of tanks, armored vehicles and mechanized infantry, the Japanese army in Datong City was quickly routed.

An hour later, Xu Weiguo, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, led more than 10,000 follow-up troops under his command to Datong and participated in the battle.

According to the news from the Military Intelligence Department, the main force of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived at Lijiaying, 20 kilometers east of Datong City, and is rapidly rushing towards Datong City.

The former enemy command ordered the assault brigade to immediately respond to this Japanese reinforcement and make sure to defeat it. At the same time, he ordered Xu Weiguo's troops to attack south from Datong, seize the mining area, and wait for an opportunity to capture Huairen County.

After receiving the order from the former enemy headquarters, Huyanbing immediately ordered the armored regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment to immediately go out of the city to meet the enemy and fight against the Japanese reinforcements.

Just when the Huyan army headquarters captured Datong, the 10th Division and the 110th Division, the main force of the Japanese army, also launched an attack on Zhangjiakou and Xinghe, where Ma Zheng's headquarters were stationed. Sugiyama Gen was really angry this time, and the order to the 10th Division clearly mentioned that Zhangjiakou should be taken at all costs, and special cigarettes could be used if necessary.

Sugiyama Yuan knew very well in his heart that Ma Zheng's troops must have made all preparations for the sudden attack on Datong this time, and Datong was probably more than lucky. So he didn't expect the troops of the 27th Division to hold on to Datong for long, and it was already good to wait for reinforcements to arrive, so Sugiyama Yuan already had the mental preparation for the fall of Datong in his heart.

Even so, Sugiyama Yuan simply fought with Ma Zheng to fight their internal strength, in his mind that Zhangjiakou was the hardest hit area of the plague, according to the information obtained, in the first few weeks of the outbreak of the plague, the defenders of Zhangjiakou also suffered huge losses and were seriously damaged, so Sugiyama Yuan did not think that the defenders of Zhangjiakou could withstand the powerful 10th Division.

As long as the 10th Division invades Zhangjiakou, even the people in the nearby counties and districts will not be able to hold it, and then the front army will be able to enter the hinterland of the Suicha Military Region through Zhangjiakou. Therefore, Senior General Sugiyama Moto decided that the North China Front Army and Ma Zheng's main force would fight separately to see who could not hold back to the headquarters first.

But what Sugiyama Yuan didn't expect was that the garrison in the direction of Zhangjiakou seemed to have expected them to attack, so they actually built a defensive line in Shalingzi, waiting for their arrival, and then the two sides started a bloody battle in Shalingzi Town.

Both sides fought very bravely, starting from one o'clock in the morning, both sides invested more and more troops, at the beginning the two sides invested very limited troops, but by five o'clock in the morning, the total number of Chinese and Japanese troops on the front line of Shalingzi Town reached more than 20,000 people, and it is still increasing rapidly.

Similarly, the Japanese 110th Division was also making slow progress in the offensive south of Xinghe, and although the Danan Mountain between Xinghe and Tianzhen was not very high, the terrain was very steep. Although Ma Zheng's headquarters did not have many troops stationed here, relying on the terrain, the strength of an entire brigade of the Japanese army was blocked south of Xuanjia Tower.

Judging from the current situation, Ma Zheng's department can be regarded as taking the lead and taking advantage of a little advantage. However, the Japanese army did not admit defeat, and a large number of troops received orders overnight to begin to assemble, and General Sugiyama Mototo believed that Ma Zheng's department had reached the point where it could not be solved without solving it, and he wanted to fight an unprecedented battle with Ma Zheng's department to solve this resistance force in the north.

At the same time that the North China Front was actively mobilizing troops, Hattori was also entrusted by Sugiyama Mototo to lead the more than 30 students and 200 carefully selected special combat personnel he brought from the Japanese Army University to the Datong front. Its main purpose is to see this unit on the spot, and if there is a chance, to wipe out the special combat team of Ma Zheng's department.

As for the special forces of Ma Zhengbu, Hattori's Tibetan ministers are now just an uncertain conjecture, and he doesn't know what the truth is. Whether Ma Zheng's department has special forces or not still needs to be investigated on the spot before he can finally come to a conclusion, although in his opinion, the answer is actually obvious.

However, as soon as they reached Zhulu, the Front Army sent a telegram to report that Datong had fallen, the 27th Division had suffered heavy casualties and had lost contact with the Front Army Headquarters, and the main force of the 110th Division that had gone to Datong for reinforcements had been attacked by the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army, suffered heavy casualties, and had withdrawn from the periphery of Datong.

The front command ordered them to immediately rush to the outskirts of Daido to conduct an approach reconnaissance to see what was happening at the front and whether Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma had been captured.

Ma Zheng's department attacked his big colleagues suddenly, and he didn't even know about the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in advance. The Japanese army's overnight mobilization of troops could alarm all the great gods in North China, whether it was Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second War Zone, Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the Kuomintang Sulu Theater, or the extremely head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, they were all awakened in the middle of the night.

Jin Dongnan. Lucheng. Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mr. Zhu and the others had already fallen asleep, and at this time, the staff officer on duty hurriedly ran to Mr. Zhu's gatehouse and asked the guards to quickly call Mr. Zhu to wake up, there was an urgent military situation.

Soon the lights in the operational command room of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army were turned on, and Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng and others quickly rushed to the headquarters, and at this time, the deputy chief of staff had already understood the matter.

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Zhu asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

The left deputy chief of staff immediately said: "I just received the news that the 20th Division of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan suddenly assembled, and the Japanese troops in Shouyang, Xiyang, Pingding and other places rushed to Yangquan overnight, and the Japanese troops in Taiyuan and Xinkou were also assembled!" ”

"What is the little devil going to do, is the little devil playing some conspiracy?"

"It's not very clear, our intelligence officers haven't noticed any major actions of the Japanese army in recent times!"

"Not necessarily, didn't there be news some time ago that the Japanese army was preparing to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, are they going to do it tonight?"

Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said: "The little devils are in such a hurry to assemble not like they are going to attack, but it is a bit like emergency reinforcements, it must be that something has happened to the little devils' defense area, and these little devils are preparing to fight the fire." ”

"Where would that be?" The left deputy chief of staff immediately asked.

"It's not clear yet, immediately explain it, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and at the same time, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, the Shanxi New Army's Decisive Death Column, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will immediately assemble and listen to the orders of the rear headquarters at any time." Mr. Zhu said in a deep voice.

"Yes"

Linfen, ZAI World War II Commander's Headquarters, the same scene is being staged. Although Mr. Zhu, Yan Laoxi and others did not know what the Japanese army's intention was to gather troops in the middle of the night, as military commanders who had fought for half their lives, they still found some clues from it. They know the combat habits of the Japanese army, because they do not know the terrain, so the Japanese army does not like to fight late at night, and there is only one possibility for gathering troops so late, that is, something has happened in the Japanese army's defense area, and reinforcements are urgently needed.

Although it is not clear what went wrong now, everyone has a tacit understanding that they will gather the troops first, on the one hand, to prevent being caught off guard by the little devils, and on the other hand, to assemble and prepare for war, as long as the little devils show their flaws, they will not hesitate to give them a fatal blow, and Ma Zheng, who is far away in Fengzhen, does not know that the scale of the battle is developing in the direction of getting out of control at this time.
