Chapter 444.

When Yunyan gave two copies of 100,000 oceans to Takeo Suzuki and Deputy Commander-in-Chief respectively, he also made a point to explain that the money was left by his predecessor Taro Homoto, and no one knew how much money he had.

This is to invisibly put the wolf of Hoben together, completely outside the tortoiseshell city, even if he completes the task and comes back alive in the future, it will not be easy for him to enter the tortoiseshell city.

It is safe to say that this has been done in the past few days, which is beyond everyone's imagination, not only controlling Jiaocheng, but now controlling Tortoiseshell City.

After doing all this, the battle to besiege Yangcheng was about to begin, and Takeo Suzuki's army was directly transferred.

This time, 60,000 imperial troops were directly dropped, and 40,000 puppet troops were mobilized to participate in the battle to besiege the liberated areas. They are going to carry out a thorough sweep and completely take back all of Yangcheng and its surroundings.

Originally, the Jiaocheng Independent Division was also going to be brought there, but Yunyan did not agree, Your Excellency General, although this independent division also has 8,000 people, but they have just been established, and they have not even cooperated with training, what role can they play on the battlefield? If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will still hurt the affairs of the imperial army,

Having said this, Takeo Suzuki was embarrassed to bring an independent division again.

So he directly left this independent division, and besides, the deputy commander-in-chief couldn't directly order it, after all, this Yunyan had bribes for himself. He had to get by. This is equivalent to the twenty oceans buying an independent division.

The day after Takeo Suzuki led his team to set off, Yunyan sent Boss Huang to the liberated area and asked them to quickly organize 4,000 men.

On the third day, Boss Huang came back and reported to Yunyan that this matter might start to mobilize guerrillas tonight.

In this way, it is necessary to wait for an appropriate moment and then start a war.

At this moment, Yangcheng Fushan Street, South China Guerrilla Zone, is also quite tense. According to intelligence, they knew that there were 60,000 imperial troops gathered around them. 40,000 puppet troops.

It's not something they can handle. However, the anti-Japanese armed forces in the liberated areas did not sit idly by.

Especially Long Fei, they received information from Yunyan that Tortoiseshell Huo Bentaro had already rushed to the liberated area in advance, and their brother should have been a day early. So, they made a quick decision. Destroy this force

The 1st and 47th Armies, totaling 19,000 men, immediately attacked and went to the enemy-occupied area to strangle Komototaro's troops.

Commander Han agreed with Long Tengfei's opinion.

Long Fei's plan was to organize the guerrillas in the liberated areas, with a total of 4,000 people, and the militia in the liberated areas, with almost 6,000 people, and they had more than 10,000 people, and then directly organize them. Open operations in the liberated territories in order to attract the attention of the enemy. It is to create the false impression that the main force of the anti-Japanese armed forces is in the liberated areas

After successfully attracting the attention of the enemy, the 47th Army. The 35th Army immediately died down and set off overnight.

The first place they chose for this ambush was the old estuary. There is the Dasha River in the north here, the Daqing River in the south, the two are combined in the old estuary, it is a natural pocket array, there is only the old estuary here, and there is a garrison forty miles west of the old estuary. A squad at the mouth of the old river and a company in Linhe Town, forty miles away, are all puppet troops.

The attack on the liberated area of Homoto Taro must pass through this place,

Even if you have a lot of troops, it's hard to make a difference here.

After Long Fei and the others arrived here, they immediately dispatched troops and horses to solve a puppet army squad at the mouth of the old river, established a general headquarters, and studied the situation in detail at that time. Because the terrain in the upper reaches is not narrow. One thing about Long Fei, he sent a small force directly in the upstream area to harass Homoto Taro's troops.

An important decision was made at the meeting, which was to eliminate a company of puppet troops in Linhe Town. It was forty miles long from east to west and twenty miles wide from north to south, without any enemy troops.

Originally, it was intended to harass on the outer side of the river, forcing the puppet army into this pocket formation.

Long Fei felt that he was harassing them head-on, but he could remember their aggressiveness. So it was decided to harass in the river and beach, that is, to lure the enemy deeper

Homototaro's 18,000-strong army swept into the corridor between the two rivers. Seeing the small group of harassing troops, he sneered: You don't want me to go here, I'll go away. This is the trick of Long Fei, I'm afraid that if you don't come in, you won't be able to get out.

They first organized an attack in the middle, a place called Linhe Town, this attack, which was too big a blow to him, but it could hurt him, so the attack carried out here directly eliminated the devils, about four hundred people like this, and then immediately retreated.

When Hobentaro heard the return, he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, in the end, these people can't become the climate, in the face of such their own troops, and they ran away with a shot, Lao Tzu was angry, where are you going?

Therefore, he ordered the troops to speed up their advance, and tomorrow they would cross the old estuary and go straight into the liberated area, suddenly attack Yangcheng from behind, surprise troops, and strive to successfully capture Yangcheng with one blow, and Lao Tzu would have something to say.

However, what he didn't know was that when his rearguard troops passed Linhe Town, the soldiers who had been repulsed just now quickly surrounded them, and immediately set up a defensive position in Linhe Town, never allowing the little devils to retreat.

Here, a total of 4,000 people were arranged, completely cutting off the back road of Komoto Taro.

The battle began around three o'clock in the afternoon. The ambushed troops attacked their troops from all sides, and the troops who remained in Linhe Town, cut off their rear routes, did not stop there, but still sent a force of 2,000 men, and his rear guard also launched an attack.

Only one charge lasted about thirty minutes, and the charging troops quickly retreated.

Homoto Taro was even happier, in the end, it was a group of local chickens and dogs, and they couldn't fight any battles, and such a good opportunity was wasted for them.

He was ready to organize a counteroffensive, and he knew that if he wanted to counterattack and succeed in quickly getting out of this place, that is, to seize the old estuary and hurry out from the ferry. Knowing that in this situation, with so many troops, success is at hand.

Therefore, he organized a commando team of 2,000 people, and the task was to seize the mouth of the old river, and other troops could be reinforced at any time to prevent anti-Japanese forces from other directions from attacking them.

At four o'clock, the horn of the first counterattack sounded, and two thousand men fought desperately at the old estuary

You must know that this anti-Japanese armed force is waiting for it to attack, and it is not so easy for them to huddle together and think that they will break through each other.

The vanguard of 2,000 men had just launched an attack and would be able to cut off your retreat, and in less than five minutes, two armies would rush out from the north and south, directly cutting off their connection with the Chinese army. At this moment, the main force was all mobilized and directly besieged the vanguard of 2,000 people.

First of all, after the two thousand people were besieged, they could not show their combat effectiveness. They all had to fight at that ferry before, but they were attacked on their backs or were they pressed back?

Naho Bentaro received a report that he had cut off the connection between them and the vanguard, and hastened to order the troops to immediately open the main road and resolutely support the vanguard in seizing the old estuary.

There were originally 4,000 anti-Japanese forces in Linhe Town, but this time they dispatched 3,000 men, leaving only 1,000 men to build positions to prevent the enemy from breaking through from behind.
