As we all know, Yanmen Pass is the first of the nine passes in the world, and the partial pass, Ningwu Pass is called the outer three passes, it is an important checkpoint on the Great Wall, and it is a strategic place that soldiers must fight for since ancient times.

When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, after the Japanese invading army occupied Hebei and other places, the troops were divided into two routes and invaded Shanxi on a large scale, one of which was to start from Datong, take the Tongpu Railway, cross Yanmen Pass, and approach Xinzhou.

Then the Battle of Xinkou broke out with the Jin Sui Army and the various departments of the Central Army.

Now, Yanmen Pass is about to become the grave of the last Japanese army in Shanxi, the 108th Division, from Xinzhou to Yanmen Pass in Dai County, a total of only more than 100 miles.

The mixed vanguard led by Li Yunlong and Zhao Tiezhu naturally easily rushed ahead of the Japanese army and rushed to Dai County.

Like Xinzhou, the devil is in Yuanping, and the troops in the area of Daixian are extremely empty, all of them are garrisoned by puppet troops, and the mixed troops easily recovered this generation of areas.

It turned out that a Japanese logistics and transport unit rushed from Datong to Taiyuan for reinforcements happened to arrive at Yanmen Pass, probably through the Guò radio station, and learned the news that Taiyuan had been lost.

Therefore, this Japanese logistics unit was ordered to be stationed at Yanmen Pass on the spot for warning purposes.

The total strength of this Japanese army was about 1,000 people, and because the escorts were all weapons and ammunition, more than 1,000 baggage soldiers and escorts were transformed into fully armed combat units.

In addition, there is also a Japanese reinforced squadron of more than 300 people, and more than 500 puppet troops, and the total strength of the Japanese puppet army is nearly 1,900 people.

The vanguard of the Longya Column swept through Xinzhou, Yuanping, and Daixian with lightning speed, and suddenly killed under the Yanmen Pass, which surprised the Japanese puppet army guarding the pass.

In a hurry, the devils and the puppet army climbed the city wall one after another and entered a state of battle.

It's just that in the face of the five No. 4 tanks lined up under the city, and the high black hole cannon muzzles, whether it is with the devil or the puppet army, they are all afraid and trembling.

Because they didn't know that there were devils on the Yanmen Gate, Li Yunlong, Zhao Tiezhu and others still planned to surrender first, and it was best to take this strategic place without blood.

"Listen to the puppet army on the gate, we are the Dragon Tooth Column of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army in Shanxi has been completely annihilated by us, and Taiyuan has also been recovered by us, and the little Japanese devils will not be rampant for long.

Now the only way out in front of you is to lay down your arms, open the gate, surrender to us, and our Dragon Tooth Column of the Eighth Route Army will treat prisoners preferentially, for the sake of everyone being Chinese, and guarantee that no one will be killed. ”

On the wall, after a devil Zhongzuo figured out the content of the shouting outside the gate from the traitor's translator, his face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth: "Baga Yalu." ”

He got up and went to a heavy machine gun position, pushed a heavy machine gunner away, and personally operated the Type 92 heavy machine gun to strafe the outside of the gate.

Sudden ...... A rain of bullets poured down from the wall and hit the roof and frontal armor of Tank No. 4, where the shouting fighter was hiding.

Bang bang bang sparks flew from the tank armor being hit.

Zhao Tiezhu and Li Yunlong and the others glanced at each other, and Li Yunlong was furious and said: "Damn, these two devils are really toasting and not eating and drinking!" Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao, in my opinion, there is no need to shout, attack directly, and tell them with tank artillery what will happen to the traitors. ”

Zhao Tiezhu frowned and said: "Commander Li, I think the puppet army should not be so bold, maybe there are still little devils on this **** pass." ”

"Huh?" Li Yunlong immediately raised his binoculars and carefully observed the wall for a while, then nodded: "It makes sense, eighty percent of them were shot by little devils, but whether there are little devils or not, it seems that it is impossible to take Yanmen Pass without blood." ”

"Well, then prepare to attack, I will lead the cavalry reconnaissance battalion to serve as a guard for you, and the matter of the attack will be handed over to you, Commander Li." Zhao Tiezhu said.

Li Yunlong said happily: "Don't worry, within an hour, Lao Tzu will definitely take Yanmen Pass and teach the little devils and the second devils in the pass how to behave." ”

A few minutes later, Zhao Tiezhu led the cavalry battalion to withdraw and take up the perimeter guard duty in the rear, while Li Yunlong commanded two tank companies and a 60mm mortar artillery unit to start an artillery bombardment of the Yanmen Pass wall.

Five No. 4 tanks were the first to fire one after another, tom to......m to High-explosive shells whistled through the sky and fired rapidly towards the Yanmen Gate.

Bang! Bang......! Several high-explosive shells hit the wall almost simultaneously, and there was a violent explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the mortar group of Li Yunlong's regiment also opened fire one after another.

The city, which had been silent just now, was suddenly shrouded in explosions and firelight, and under the rumbling of cannons, the devils and puppet soldiers hiding behind the improvised fortifications behind the battlement walls were killed and wounded by the raging shrapnel, and screamed again and again.

"Tank guns, bombardment of the city gates! A battalion is ready to storm! After covering the city's artillery fire for a while, Li Yunlong ordered to change the target of the bombardment.

After receiving the order, the five No. 4 tanks adjusted their gun chambers one after another, aiming their guns at the city gate of Yanmen Pass, and the five high-explosive shells flew towards the city gate almost simultaneously.

Thundered! After a deafening explosion, the door made of wood and iron was torn apart and reduced to sawdust.

After blasting open the city gate, the No. 4 tanks adjusted their gun muzzles, fired fiercely at the wall, and joined forces with the mortar group to suppress the Japanese puppet army on the wall.

The devils and puppet troops on the city wall, covered by the artillery fire of the vanguard, suffered heavy casualties, and did not even dare to show their heads, Li Yunlong immediately ordered an infantry battalion to take advantage of the situation to launch a charge towards the city gate.

Tank guns can be fired at direct fire, so that they are not afraid of accidentally injuring their own attacking troops.

Therefore, the devils and the puppet army were suppressed to the death, and they could only watch the dragon tooth infantry swarm into the city, and then rushed towards the city wall along the horse road inside the wall.

As soon as the infantry rushed in, Li Yunlong ordered the shelling to stop, and then ordered the other two infantry battalions to immediately enter the pass, and join forces with the first infantry battalion that took the lead in attacking the pass, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese puppet army in the pass.

The Japanese puppet army, which suffered heavy casualties, hurriedly resisted, and the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire around the gunsmoke-filled wall.

As soon as the cannonfire stopped, a dense burst of gunfire rang out inside the wall. After the infantry entered the city, five No. 4 tanks also drove into the city one after another, tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, turning to the dense places on the city wall where devils and puppet troops were concentrated, and providing fire cover for the attacking troops.

Li Yunlong's regiment had an absolute advantage in strength and was covered by tanks, so after about an hour of fierce fighting, it finally annihilated more than 1,000 devils in the pass, and more than half of the puppet army was killed and wounded, and the rest were all broken, and they knelt on the ground and raised their guns to surrender.

Yanmen Pass was recovered by the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the last way of life of the 108th Division was completely cut off.
