[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 330: The Battle of the Five Plains (Ask for subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! ）

At one o'clock in the morning of December 6, the 35th Army of the Jin Sui Army, which was already ready to go, attacked Wuyuan in three ways, one to attack Liu Zhao, who had a railway station, all the way to Wuyuan County, and the other to attack Xixiaozhao.

At midnight of the same day, Liu Zhao was the first to exchange fire, because the Japanese army had withdrawn the main force to Wuyuan County before the war, so there were only more than 50 puppet troops stationed in Liu Zhao, so the battle ended just after the battle, more than 50 puppet troops only fired a few shots to announce their surrender, and the 35th Army successfully captured the former enemy post that attacked Wuyuan.

Subsequently, the 101st Division of the 35th Army, which attacked the county seat of Wuyuan, launched a simultaneous attack on the Japanese strongholds of Wuyuan Old Town, Meilingmiao, and Xingongzhong. At dawn on the 6th, the 101st Division defeated the Japanese army in Xingongzhong, a squadron of Japanese troops and a regiment of the puppet army were defeated, and more than 300 corpses fled to Wuyuan County.

At the same time, the new 31st Division, which attacked Xixiaozhao, also successfully took Xixiaozhao, and then the new 31st went straight to Wulashan Town, which was 80 kilometers away from Wulante Qianqizhi.

However, the Japanese army had already prepared, and after the 101st Division arrived in Wuyuan County and launched an attack on the defenders in the city, it was found that the defenders had built a large number of fortifications inside and outside the city. At 11 a.m. on the morning of the 6th, more than 30 Japanese bombers flew over Wuyuan and launched a large-scale bombardment of the attacking 101st Division, causing heavy losses to the 101st Division.

The new 31st Division was also bombed by Japanese planes on the way to Ulan Mountain, losing part of its soldiers. However, the Japanese army did not have many planes in Suixi, and its strategic role was minimal, so the new 31st Division finally arrived at the outskirts of Wulashan Town before dark.

At the same time, the 101st Division also occupied all the strongholds in the old city, except for the Pingshi Guanqian Bureau and the Tunken Office, and the outlying strongholds in Guangshengxi and Xincheng. It was day and night that the 101st Division and the New 6th Brigade defeated the Japanese puppet army defending the Uga River and the Ula trench.

Although it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, the Japanese army still did not mean to give up Wuyuan, after all, the territory controlled by the Japanese army in Suixi was not very large, and any place was very important. Moreover, Wuyuan is an important town in Suixi, where the Japanese puppet army built fortifications and bridges. If you try to stick to it for a long time, how can you give up so easily.

One side is bound to win, and the other side is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, and the battle is extremely fierce. The battle lasted until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the positions of the old and new cities of Wuyuan changed hands repeatedly, and the attacking and defending armies suffered heavy casualties.

That night the 35th Army stopped attacking and switched to a defensive position, but this did not mean that the battle was over. Early the next morning, as soon as the white belly was exposed, the 101st Division launched another attack on Wuyuan County.

Turban. Suixi Garrison Command.

Lieutenant General Yoshizo Kojima looked at the telegram in his hand with an angry expression. Then he scolded fiercely: "Baga! ”

Kojima Yoshizo was originally the chief of staff of the cavalry group, and Japan originally intended to let him succeed Naito Shoichi as the commander of the cavalry group, so he was promoted from major general to lieutenant general to pave the way for Kojima to succeed Naito Shoichi. As a result, before Kojima could be happy for a few days, Naito Shoichi and the entire cavalry group collapsed, and the main force, including Naito Shoichi, was wiped out, and only one cavalry wing and the 13th wing team headquarters escaped.

In desperation, the country had no choice but to appoint Xiaodao as the commander of the Suixi garrison when integrating the defense of Suixi. Temperate all the Japanese puppet troops in Suixi.

Originally, the island had been trembling during this time, according to the information transmitted by the intelligence department. His powerful neighbor was gearing up, and he seemed to have bad intentions. It was likely that a large-scale battle would break out in Suixi, for which he had already sent a telegram asking for help to the headquarters of the North China Front.

However, he did not expect that the first to attack his defense area was the 35th Army of the Jin Sui Army, and according to the situation transmitted back by the front-line troops, the Jin Sui Army dispatched more than 40,000 troops from four divisions this time, and the posture was also an attempt to fully capture Suixi.

"Gentlemen. Now that the Chinese are attacking so fiercely, what should we do? Kojima looked around at the officers in the headquarters and asked loudly.

The commander of the 14th Cavalry Wing, Kazuo Kobayashi, got up and said, "Your Excellency Commander, now that Wuyuan and Qianqi are in danger, the Imperial Army must be reinforced as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the strength of the defenders in these two places, it would be difficult to resist the attack of Fu Bu! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think Kobayashi-kun's words are inappropriate, the 35th Army of China is terrible, but don't forget that there is an even more terrible Army of China in Guisui, which is only more than a hundred kilometers away from us. If all of our main forces reinforce the battle on the first line of Wuyuan, what if the Tsubachi Road fights? The commander of the 13th Cavalry Wing, Kazuaki Ohara, said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yuan-kun, now the 35th Army is attacking, if the imperial army does not defeat it, it will not be long before this huge army of China will come to the city, do you think that the time will give up the opportunity to attack our army together? Once the Eighth Route of China and the 35th Army of the Jin Sui Army reach a tacit understanding, the imperial army may not be able to hold out for even three days. Kobayashi Kazuo said in a deep voice.

"But the strength of Ma Zheng's department in China is known to everyone, with the combat level of that general of China, he will definitely not give us any chance!" Ohara Kazuaki Osado Road.

Kobayashi Kazuo said again: "Your Excellency Commander, in fact, Ma Zheng's headquarters may not dare to attack our army's defense area, but the premise is that we must get the support of the front army headquarters!" ”

"Oh, what is Kobayashi-kun's plan, let's hear about it?" Lieutenant General Kojima Yoshizo immediately asked.

"Your Excellency Commander, don't you know that you have read the art of war written by Sun Tzu, a great military strategist more than 2,000 years ago?"

"You're talking about The Art of War? When I was in Tokyo, I studied it carefully, and the art of war in it is really good, even after more than 2,000 years, it still has a strong guiding significance for modern warfare! ”

"The commander is erudite and humble! There is a chapter in "The Art of War" called Encircling Wei and Saving Zhao, which is actually the attack on the enemy, so as to solve the danger in other related places, which happens to be used for the current predicament of our army. Kobayashi Kazuo said in a deep voice.

"Wai Wei to save Zhao? Keep talking! "Kojima Yoshizo Road.

"Wuyuan and Qianqi must be reinforced, there is no doubt about this, if the people of China are allowed to attack under the city of Baotou, the consequences will be unimaginable. But Ohara-kun's consideration is not unreasonable, so we must contain the eight roads of the Chinese soil so that it does not dare to act rashly. The specific tactic was to have the front army assemble heavy troops on the front line of Zhangjiakou, Tianzhen, and Datong, with a strength of at least two or three divisions or more, and to make a posture of attacking the Tuba Road defense area, so that Ma Zheng's troops would not dare to attack our army's defense area no matter how powerful they were. ”

Then Kazuo Kobayashi continued: "A 35th Army is not terrible, and a Ma Zheng is also not terrible, with the strength of our headquarters, it can completely compete with it, although I dare not say that we will definitely be able to annihilate the enemy, but it should not be a problem to hold the existing territory." But what is terrible is that these two Chinese armies will attack together, in which case our army will be attacked on the back of the enemy and will definitely be defeated. But if the front army can contain the main force of Ma Zheng's department, then the rest of the things will be easy to do! ”

"Yo Xi, Kobayashi-kun is right! It is worthy of being a high-achieving student of the Imperial Land University, holding back the main force of the Eighth Road of China, and concentrating all his strength to deal with the Jin Sui army, which is not strong in combat, so do it! Vice Admiral Kojima said with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency the Commander has won the award!" Kazuo Kobayashi said modestly.

"Kobayashi-kun doesn't have to be modest, if the imperial army can survive this crisis safely, I will ask the front army for your credit!" Kojima Yoshizo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for your cultivation!" Kazuo Kobayashi said happily.

"Order: The 13th Cavalry Wing, the 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade, the 4th Brigade, and the 8th Cavalry Division of the Imperial Allied Army stationed in Anbei immediately assemble at the Urad Front Banner, be sure to arrive at the predetermined position before 5 o'clock this afternoon, and launch an attack on the new 31st Division of the Zhina. In addition, a report was immediately sent to the headquarters of the front army, requesting that troops be sent to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Suidong and buy time for our army to defeat the 35th Army in China. ”

"Hay!"
