The Japanese First Army stationed in Taiyuan was not given the task of relieving the Kuroda Wing, but they were given another task, which was to transfer part of the garrison troops stationed in Yingxian, Wutai, and Fanzhi counties to move to the area around Daying and Shentangbao, which was an attack on the western part of the 11th Division.

In fact, this force of more than 2,000 Japanese troops and more than 1,000 puppet troops is a disguise, and the real strategic purpose is only a few highest-ranking devil generals of the First Army who know in their hearts that they are marching in a big way to cover another army.

The special operations wing of Shimizu Dazuo, who was secretly staying in the base outside Fanzhi County, finally waited for the order to attack, and General Gangmura watched the Kuroda Wing trapped in the mountains around Xingshutai, attracting almost the main force and local armed forces of the entire Eighth Route in northwest Hebei to surround the past, and it was expected that the eleventh subdivision of the Eighth Route must be empty in the central area of the base area, so he gave Shimizu Dazuo the order to prepare for the attack.

Of course, the troops who sneak attack must have a team to cover for them, so they will transfer part of the garrison forces of the three counties to form a clearing team, and it seems that they are going to the front line of Daying, Gushan, and Shentangbao to sweep, in fact, it is to clear the obstacles for the Qingshui United.

In just one day, the "target" troops for the sweep were assembled, and at dusk they marched to Jinshan Town, and behind this team, a long convoy was covered with tarpaulins for several kilometers and lined up in formation.

The news that more than 3,000 devils had entered Daying Town in the east immediately spread to Taiyue District, and since the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had already informed Taiyue District, several military sub-districts had joined forces to fight the battle report of the Heitian Wing, and the defense of the entire western line of Taihang Mountain in northwest Hebei Province was handed over to Taiyue District and Beiyue District to help assist in the defense.

According to the direction of the Japanese army's advance, the leaders of Taiyue District judged that the devil must have occupied Daying Town. First open up the traffic line to Wangzhuang Fort. Then they will attack the Lonely Mountain to the west and the Shindo Fort to the southeast. The focus of the attack should be Fort Shinto, which is located on the line between Division 11 and the Third Division.

Therefore, the Taiyue District put two regiments used to support the 11th Jinchaji Division, one regiment and one battalion on the line from Beichanfang to Shentangbao, and the other two battalions, one battalion on the communication line from Daying to Wangzhuang Fort, to block the invading enemy layer by layer, and one battalion to support the battalion blocking the devils on the highway line from the flank.

There is nothing wrong with such a deployment in Taiyue District, from the topography. If the devils who set out from Jinshan Town go to open up the communication line to Wangzhuang Fort, then they will have to face the eight roads that occupy favorable terrain to block them along the way, and even if they open up the highway with great effort, if they want to develop eastward, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it in ten days and half a month.

If this devil doesn't plan to go to Wangzhuang Fort, but after occupying the camp, he immediately turns around and runs to Shentang Fort in the southeast, and then threatens the hinterland of the 11th Division, then he will crash into the ambush circle of the 8th Road, let alone sneak attack the villagers of the 11th Division in Nanmazhuang and other places. It's hard to say whether you can get to the castle of the gods.

Neither end of the day, but after taking the camp. If the devils on this road go all out to capture Gushan Town, Happy Horse Pool and other places, and want to climb over from the mountains to the west and go deep into the 11th Division, it will be enough for that battalion to block the devils in the mountains and mountains.

However, after the various departments of Taiyue District set off from Fanzhi County, they successively entered the predetermined area, and the devils carrying a long convoy on this road, after taking the Daying Town that the Eighth Road deliberately abandoned, did not move forward immediately, neither went north, nor went east, let alone went southeast, but built a large number of buildings in Daying Town, and almost demolished the entire town and turned it into a garrison.

At this time, the Kuroda Wing had been fighting fiercely for a day on the side of Xingshutai, and the battle had entered a white-hot level, and the devil troops who came to the rescue from the periphery had also exchanged fire with the eight road units that had sent reinforcements to block the attack, and the 100 square kilometers with Xingshutai as the center were now like a boiling pot of boiling water!

In the morning, Yang Bangzi still had five or six hundred troops following him, and before noon, there was less than one company left, and the others were all sent to various battlefields by him in squads and platoons, but there was no way, there were too many troops participating in the war, and the military quality was uneven, and many troops temporarily composed of militiamen and fellow villagers did not even know how to defend the country, so someone had to take them with them.

What's more, there are many people in this radius of more than ten miles, and there are many people who don't look like it, but it can't be seen at all when you sprinkle it into these mountains and valleys, in case no one is staring at that pass, which mountain is not guarded, and the devil has taken advantage of the loophole and escaped, isn't this a waste of effort?

Therefore, according to the garrison of each unit marked on the map, Yang Bangzi was transferred from the regimental team and guard company directly under him, and the more people went to a platoon, and the few people went to a squad, even if they were the vanguard of these troops, so in less than a morning, there were not many people left around Yang Bangzi.

At dawn, Yang Bangzi first ordered the three battalions, the first battalion to hold both sides of the two-kilometer-long road from Xingshutai to Shahe, blocking the pass, and the second battalion moved in a roundabout way along the road next to the river, surround the main attack on Xingshutai from the side, and cut off the connection between this group of devils and the devil's wing headquarters behind.

After reinforcing the personnel brought by Section Chief Gao Yufeng, the third battalion developed along the highway from Zhaitou Village to the north, with only one task, pulling out a devil's stronghold when it saw it, and attacking one if there was a mountain occupied by a devil, and four teams in this vicinity assigned to the old blind man's command, totaling more than 4,000 people, to press the devil's defense line from south to north.

Yang Bangzi knew in his heart that although these temporarily recruited personnel were very enthusiastic about fighting and dared to fight hard with the devils, after all, they were not the regular main force fighting with the devils for a long time, and the weapons and ammunition were not sufficient, and the troops of the 20th Regiment that he could trust were not superior in numbers, and the most important thing was to tie the pockets tightly, so he personally commanded the blocking and flanking attacks of the first and second battalions, and the task of cloth pockets was coordinated and completed by the old blind man.

The telegram from the military region has been sent out of breath, and the progress of the Japanese army from all walks of life will soon reach the hands of Yang Bangzi, looking at this situation, there is not much time left for himself to eat the Kuroda Wing, and when the old blind man led the team to the north, he reminded him, should he also transfer the last unit that has not moved?

Yang Bangzi knew that the old blind man was talking about the special training camp, Fan Daring had already asked him to fight, these days, the east was in full swing, and the special training camp in the big ravine of Duyu had long been unable to stay, and the sub-division had mobilized all the people who could be mobilized, and even the militia and fellow villagers from Duyu had gone to the east to help the war, but every time the special training camp asked for battle, all they got was two words: "Standby!" ”

Whether to move this battalion or not, Yang Bangzi has been hesitating, with the marching speed of the special training camp, more than 100 miles of mountain roads, at most six or seven hours can be reached, there are more than 800 people, and it is also the most elite more than 800 people, it will be able to rush the Kuroda United, and the battle will be much easier!

However, after smoking two bags of cigarettes, Yang Bangzi decided that he still couldn't move the special training camp! He still can't rest assured that the mysterious wing of the Japanese army that disappeared after being transferred from Baoding to Taiyuan, not to mention that the military region didn't call, the devil gathered more than 3,000 people to go to Daying Town, although there is the guarantee of Taiyue District, but it is really better to put his life in the hands of others.

At this time, the devil's plane flew over the battlefield again, first bombing indiscriminately on the side of Xingshutai, and several front-line destroyers came to the side of the village with their wings diagonally. But the plane whizzed over the hill and turned to the east!

Yang Bangzi leaned out from behind the rocks, and when he saw that the planes swooped down the mountain to the top of the ravine, they strafed down the ravine from south to north, and threw several bombs on the mountain beam at the end of the ravine. Oh no, this is to open the way for the devils in the ravine!

Where did this come from? Why is there no movement at all? Yang Bangzi thought about it carefully, and understood, he was busy and confused, and ignored one thing, when he encountered the logistics troops of the devil last night, his attention was on Zhaitou Village, where the battle between the two sides was fiercest, and the devils on the road and the mountain were divided into several sections, he couldn't take care of them all, and it was not until the morning that he heard the old blind man say that even the prisoners were killed and wounded more than 400.

At that time, Yang Bangzi still felt that he might have misjudged it, the third battalion and other local troops reported that there were more than 1,000 surrounds, and Yang Bangzi thought that they were wrong, maybe our own troops were also included.

Now I understand, it turns out that the rear brigade of more than 1,000 devils, except for the hundreds of people who were wiped out, most of the rest don't know how to get into the old man's ditch in the east! That ditch was deserted, and it was still in the valley where several mountain beams intersected, and it was ignored by the troops who were in a hurry to chase the devils in front!

This group of devils also understood that they had fallen to the periphery of the wing headquarters, and they were trapped in the rear of the Eighth Road, and they could really calm down, so hundreds of people were quietly cats in the ravine, and when it was dawn, it was estimated that they had contacted the wing headquarters, and the planes supported by the army aviation opened the way, wanting to open a gap and break out of the encirclement to join the wing.

Not to mention that the little devil's trick is really good, on the mountain beam north of Lao Yegou are two local militiamen and more than 50 fellow villagers, and more than half of the people are even looking back at the plane! Hiding in a hidden place, I stuck my head out to see what the plane looked like.

When the plane suddenly swooped down with machine gun fire, the curiosity was suppressed by the dense bullets, and as soon as a few bombs were dropped, there was a sea of fire on the mountain beam, and these militiamen and fellow villagers who had little actual combat experience were huddled in the trenches and anti-artillery holes in horror!
