In the headquarters of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, before Shigehou Yamaoka and Kumaya Shimoto and others could come up with a new way to break through, a devil lieutenant hurriedly ran in from outside with a saber on his shoulder.

Xia Yuan Xiongya and the others hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency General, it's not good, the 109th Division called, they were suddenly counterattacked by the tanks, cavalry and a large number of infantry of the Chinese Army, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, the situation is gradually deteriorating, Chief of Staff Ochiai Shikuro sent a humble post, please the division commander quickly decide, how should we deal with it!" ”

When Yamaoka Shigemu and Shimoto Kumaya and others heard this, they were all taken aback, and Yamaoka Shigehou exclaimed: "Yagaya Road, it is really a cunning opponent, and it is so quick to mobilize troops to attack us in turn. ”

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi also frowned and said: "This is Qiao Youhua's strength, he is good at capturing and grasping fighters." ”

The chief of staff of the 108th Division, Suzuki Toshiyuki, also frowned and said: "Two generals, it is obvious that the Chinese Dragon's Tooth Column intends to contain us and not give them a chance to move in, I wonder what the two generals think we should do?" ”

Yamaoka Shigehou and Shimoto Xiong Mi glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts, who the knows what to do at this juncture?

After pondering for a while, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi spoke: "Shangangjun, time does not wait for me, the situation is critical, for the sake of today's plan, we can only disperse and break through immediately." ”

"Scattered breakout?" Shigemu Yamaoka was taken aback.

"Yes, although Lazikou is occupied by the Chinese army, and the imperial army cannot pass through Guò in large numbers, it can disperse its forces and bypass the wilderness, woods, and river areas around Lazikou and the railway station.

As long as we can cross Jinyang Lake, it will be safe. ”

"If we continue to stay here, we will probably be bitten by the main force of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and once the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and other units of the Eighth Route Army surround us from all over the south, then we will be completely in danger.

Therefore, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it has not yet fallen into the encirclement, and decisively disperse and retreat to break through. Xia Yuan Xiong Mi said.

Toshiyuki Suzuki added: "I feel that we can order the Imperial Allied Army troops to continue to attack Razikou, and also serve as the task of the queen of the palace, blocking the pursuit of the Tubalu in the direction of the railway station, and buying time for us to disperse and break out." ”

"Yo Xi, this method is good." Xia Yuan Xiong Mi turned his head again and asked Yamaoka Chonghou, "Yamaoka-kun, what do you think?" ”

Yamaoka thought for a while, nodded with a solemn face, and said, "So far, this is the only way, I'll arrange it." ”

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi said: "Shangang Jun, I will immediately arrange for the Imperial Cooperative Army, transfer half of the troops back to the imperial army position at the railway station, and take over the retreat of the 109th Division." ”

…………

Soon, about 5,000 puppet soldiers were ordered to drag their tired bodies, leave their own positions in Lazikou, and take advantage of the thick night to run in the direction of the railway station.

At the same time, on the position of the 109th Division at the railway station, guns and artillery were already firing, and the sound of artillery was rumbling, and the bright red light that was constantly exploding could be seen everywhere.

The five Dragon's Tooth tanks, surrounded by tens of thousands of infantry, were advancing towards the Japanese position, and at the same time, the vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns all opened fire one after another, pouring shells and strings of bullets onto the devil's position.

In addition to the three regiments of the first division, the infantry involved in the attack also included six regiments of the second and third divisions, a total of nine infantry regiments, with a total strength of nearly 30,000 troops.

The guard regiment was left in Taiyuan, guarded the prisoners, and was responsible for the defense of Taiyuan.

The officers and soldiers of Longya, who were originally at a disadvantage in terms of strength and had to take a defensive position, now have an advantage in troops, and there are events such as the recovery of Taiyuan and the addition of tank troops.

One by one, they took the lead bravely, they were extremely ferocious, and the offensive was faster and faster, and the 109th Division was huddled in a defensive position, and there was almost no chance to fight back.

At this time, if the 109th Division abandoned its position and retreated, it would immediately be wiped out. Without the support of the position, the tanks and cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Column will immediately inflict devastating damage on them.

At this critical moment, more than 5,000 puppet troops arrived in time, and under the command of Shikuro Ochiai, chief of staff of the 109th Division, more than 5,000 puppet troops braved the enemy's fierce fire and quickly entered the position.

Although all the puppet troops were intimidated by the fierce firepower and offensive of the Dragon's Tooth Column, they were afraid of the devil's obscenity and had to enter the battle head-on.

Then, at the risk of being hit at any moment, he kept raising his head and showing his body, shooting back at the outside of the trenches.

As soon as the more than 5,000 puppet troops joined, they did add a lot of firepower to the devil's defense, and slightly restrained the offensive of the dragon's tooth column.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shikuro Ochiai immediately ordered all units of the 109th Division to retreat immediately.

After receiving the order, the various Devil Commanders immediately retreated quickly, but they obviously overestimated the combat effectiveness and determination of the 5,000 Imperial Cooperative Army.

As soon as the Japanese troops of the 109th Division retreated, they lost the suppression of a large amount of firepower, and the offensive of the attacking units of the Dragon's Tooth Column quickly resumed as usual, and the officers and men of all units shouted and charged.

In the face of the opponent's superior firepower, the more than 5,000 puppet troops couldn't even get their heads up, and those who dared to raise their heads to shoot were shot and fell, killed and wounded.

In the dark night, I don't know if it was the leader of the puppet army, and shouted that the imperial army has run away, let's run quickly, and we will die if it is late.

Soon a chain reaction was triggered, and more than 5,000 puppet soldiers, except for those who were killed by bullets and seriously wounded, all turned around in groups.

The puppet army, which was running slowly, was hit by various tank shells and grenades fired by the explosions of the grenades and died on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers of the 109th Division, who had just withdrawn from the trenches here, found that the Imperial Allied Army behind them had withdrawn almost after their buttocks.

And the shouts of the dragon's tooth column kept coming from the direction of their position, and it was obvious that the enemy had broken through, and although the devils of the 109th Division were angry, they were helpless.

Because the matter has come to this point, the position has been lost, even if they turn around and rush back, it will be useless.

As for the Imperial Association Army behind them who disrespected the order and retreated without authorization, they didn't care about killing them, and they stayed behind as cannon fodder, so it would be good to delay the pursuit of the Dragon's Tooth.

"Brothers, rush! Defeat this little devil in one go! Don't give the enemy a respite! In the surging crowd of attackers, several division commanders shouted loudly one after another.

Some regiment and battalion commanders, holding submachine guns and machine guns, took the lead and led the troops over the trenches on the devil's position, and launched a rapid pursuit against the defeated Japanese puppet army.

A cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the guard regiment on standby outside the battlefield, seeing that the overall situation had been decided and the Japanese puppet army had been defeated, also rode their horses and galloped, raising knives and guns to join the pursuit of the devils and the puppet army.
