Chapter 525: Attacking Hebi

The battle broke out suddenly, the unsuspecting soldiers of the Central Army, in the face of the sudden attack, resisted in vain, screaming and falling under the muzzle or bayonet of the Japanese army, the defensive position was instantly broken open a big gap, more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, along the gap, the tide of in-depth attack forward, leaving only a small number of troops, responsible for clearing the remaining Chinese soldiers on the position, expanding the breakthrough for the follow-up troops, leading the eight Japanese tanks, spitting shells, roaring and going straight to Anyang City.

As soon as the gunshots rang out on the periphery of Anyang, Xiaoshan arranged an ambush in the city, and suddenly attacked, and the defense of the four city gates of Anyang was guarded by the cronies of the two division commanders.

The Japanese army rushed into the barracks without much difficulty, and when the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the door of the head, these officers and soldiers of the Central Army realized that the situation was wrong, and looked at the murderous Japanese soldiers in a daze, the Japanese fell from the sky? With a cruel smile on his face, the Japanese commander who led the team waved his hand, rushed up to the two machine gunners, and fired mercilessly at the soldiers of the Central Army.

Bullets flew sideways, this was a naked massacre, the soldiers of the Central Army who woke up, jumped up and ran to their weapons, this qiē, it was all a futile struggle, the machine guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers, spraying the tongue of fire of sin, turned this place into a slaughterhouse, the pungent smell of blood and the heavy smell of gunsmoke, filled the room, the Japanese commander had his own logic, with less than 30 people, to control a company of Chinese soldiers, the best and safest way is to turn these pigs into corpses.

When Masao Koyama led two brigades of soldiers to rush into Anyang City, the city was already in chaos, and the sudden gunfire woke up the residents in the city

Packed up the gold and silver, and didn't care about the new aunt's wife, with a dozen cronies, out of the west gate of Anyang, they were very smart to judge, the Japanese must go south, can't let them run after the buttocks, out of the west gate, run directly in the direction of Linxian, they didn't think of resistance at all, and even reminded the defenders of Hebi that they just wanted to leave this terrible place as much as possible, as soldiers, their shameful behavior will be punished by heaven.

When the official ran away, the central army troops in the city immediately fell into a state of chaos without a leader, the soldiers spontaneously organized resistance, it was a wolf-like Japanese opponent, Anyang City soon fell into the hands of the Japanese army, on the tower of the four gates, the Japanese plaster flag was raised, so Shun lì occupied Anyang City, the army casualties were only more than ten people, and more than 5,000 people were captured by the prisoners alone.

The captain of the Japanese army was built, and the troops were immediately deployed in the city, controlling the situation and providing the necessary security environment for the follow-up troops, Xiaoshan glanced at his original boss with disdain, and secretly thought in his heart, how did this guy climb to the position of the captain? The next words surprised the captain of the Japanese army.

"Everyone, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, chase the back of the fleeing Chinese soldiers, continue to attack, take Hebi and Xinxiang, and approach Zhengzhou" The captain of the Japanese army felt that this guy Xiaoshan was crazy, and with less than 4,000 troops, he occupied Anyang, which was defended by two central army divisions and more than 20,000 troops, which was already a great victory, and took advantage of the surprise attack.

Can the gunfire in Anyang not alarm the Chinese defenders in Hebi? Where are also two divisions, this is tantamount to suicide The captain of the Japanese army put forward his opinions without reservation, and opposed Captain Xiaoshan's risk, which was a joke with the lives of imperial soldiers, and he also did not look down on Xiaoshan, who relied on his cleverness and won the appreciation of the brigade commander and suddenly occupied a high position, and his opinion was also approved by another Japanese captain.

Xiaoshan Masao sneered, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he unceremoniously reminded them that His Excellency the brigade commander authorized me to command the vanguard troops, my determination will not waver, and I will be responsible for the problem, two, each leaving a squadron of soldiers to be responsible for the order of Anyang City, to welcome the arrival of the main force of the brigade, and the rest of the troops, with tanks as the lead, will immediately attack Hebi and execute it

These few hard words came out, the two Japanese captains looked at each other, this guy is simply a madman, but he has the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, and he has the authorization of the brigade commander, so he can only accompany this madman to go on an adventure, Xiaoshan has his crazy idea, with the strength of two brigades, attack the Hebi defended by two whole divisions, and put it in peacetime, even if Xiaoshan is doping and the emperor is possessed, he does not have such courage.

But now the situation is different, behind him is the main force of the brigade, and more than 90,000 imperial troops, no matter what, it can't be eaten by the Chinese army, this is a good opportunity, and it is also a ladder for his own success, Xiaoshan ordered the troops to set off immediately, eight tanks as the lead, when Katayama entered Anyang City, he himself was like in a dream.

With more than 10 casualties, captured the gateway to the north of Henan heavily defended by Youzhi, which lasted less than two hours, Xiaoshan this guy, he was really looking for Xiaoshan everywhere, and really wanted to hold him and gnaw a few bites to express his appreciation for him, and after asking the Japanese officers who stayed behind, he knew that Xiaoshan led less than two brigades of soldiers to attack Hebi.

Katayama was also shocked, and hurriedly climbed up the castle tower, not even seeing the shadow of Xiaoshan's troops, on the one hand, he was angry for Xiaoshan's adventurous moves, and on the other hand, he was impressed by Xiaoshan's bravery, this guy was born to be a war, if the imperial soldiers were like him, it would not be a difficult thing to conquer China.

Since Xiaoshan has pounced on Hebi, Katayama can't stand idly by, not to mention, he can't let his henchmen fight alone, immediately command the main force of the brigade, pass through Anyang City, catch the footsteps of the Japanese army in front, and also pounce on Hebi, behind, there are tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and they didn't stay in Anyang, holding the ass of the Katayama Brigade, the tank roared, the footsteps were chaotic, and the tide killed Hebi,

In the words of Katayama who later praised Masao Koyama, a young man commanded more than 90,000 imperial soldiers, which was also a miracle in the military history of the empire.

When Xiaoshan attacked the outer position of Hebi, he hit a nail, and the fierce gunfire in Anyang was heard by the forward observation post of the 53rd Division, and he immediately reported the situation to the division commander Liu Zhaoyu.

He immediately ordered the troops to enter the position, and the well-trained soldiers of the 53rd Division quickly entered their combat posts in accordance with the battle plan, and Liu Zhaoyu picked up the phone again and informed Cao Guangtu of the battle situation in Xinxiang that the battle in Anyang had occurred, and asked him to tell the regiment commander that there was a battle in Anyang.

Then, he reported the situation to the 48th Division of his neighbors, and the division commander Wang Guangpu listened to his words and sneered: "Division Commander Liu is too worried, if Anyang and the Japanese exchange fire, the regiment headquarters would have already come to order, you and I as soldiers, the most important thing is to be calm and calm, the demeanor of a general, don't listen to the wind is the rain, people are worried, where are there two elite divisions." After speaking, without waiting for Liu Zhaoyu to say anything more, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

Wang Guangpu put down the phone and smiled disdainfully, as long as you Liu Zhaoyu can fight, the commander of the regiment has not moved, is it obvious to you? He has a bottom in his heart, the two division commanders in Anyang are his fox friends and dog friends, and they usually call themselves confidants when they smell like, and they are all Tang Enbo's celebrities, if the Japanese come in, can they not sue me?

Anyang's gunshots were also heard by his soldiers, and the report came up, Wang Guangpu was playing mahjong, grabbed a good deck of cards, was disturbed, extremely angry, and scolded the officer on duty, and then ordered, it's time to sleep, don't be poor, the officer on duty touched a nose of ash, was scolded, and his heart was on fire, the division commander spoke, what are we doing with that idleness?

Wang Guangpu judged that it must be the subordinates of those two guys, blocking the armed smuggling merchants, and handing over the fire in two clicks, these two guys, it is hard to make money, he thought with jealousy, just put down the phone, Liu Zhaoyu's call came, can he have a good tone?

Here, Liu Zhaoyu held the phone, stunned for a while, and then his heart was on fire, you Wang Guangpu is deaf? The gunshots in Anyang can be heard in Hebi, tell me what kind of general demeanor, bah, you just wanted to drop the phone, and then thought about it, the matter is serious, and it can't affect the overall situation because of personal feelings, and force it to hold back the anger in your heart, and you have to call the phone of the 49th Division again.

This time it was even more straightforward, the officer on duty replied to him, the division commander has rested, there is something important, let's talk about it tomorrow, Liu Zhaoyu shouted angrily: "Tomorrow and tomorrow, wait for the Japanese to call the door, you and I will lose our heads" There simply hung up the phone, Liu Zhaoyu felt sad in his heart, was silent for a long time, grabbed the submachine gun, took the guard battalion, and went directly to the position.

When he arrived at the position, he could already hear the roar of the tanks, in the night, the snowy lights, the eyes of the poisonous snake, the Japanese tanks had already appeared in the field of vision, followed by a large group of Japanese soldiers, Liu Zhaoyu groaned in pain, Anyang is over, it has not been more than two hours, and the two divisions have collapsed like this? How come no defeated soldiers escaped? His mind was full of questions.

Koyama Masao's movements were too sudden and fast, the central army of the two divisions in Anyang was blocked in the city, except for some killed, the rest were taken prisoner by the Japanese, the two division commanders could not fight, it was good to make money and flee for their lives, and they slipped away quickly, otherwise, they would become the first senior Chinese general to be captured by the Japanese army since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Xiaoshan's vanguard quickly advanced to the defense line of the 53rd Division in Hebi, Liu Zhaoyu shouted: "Open fire" In an instant, a rain of bullets poured on the Japanese army, and the Japanese soldiers who were rushing fell down.
