"Hirata Junyu is broken?"

At the headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division, Lieutenant General Momoyo Kunomura was stunned as if he had been clicked after reading the telegram sent by the headquarters.

His expression was full of disbelief, and another lieutenant general died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

It's too sudden, didn't you say you could hold on for 3 days, I didn't expect it to break so quickly?

However, the telegram said that although the division commander was broken, the officers and men of the 37th Division were still holding out, and Yoshio Shinozuka ordered him to speed up the offensive.

He was ordered to lead the 2nd Guards Division and completely destroy the Eighth Route Arsenal before dark.

Kunomura Momoyo calculated carefully, this is already the fourth lieutenant general of the imperial army to die in the hands of the Eighth Road.

The first is Lieutenant General Numata Tokushige was shot in the abdomen by Hachiro, hit by several bullets in the body, and was sent to the hospital for rescue and died, although the Japanese army did not admit that Lieutenant General Numata was killed by Hachiro, but it is undeniable that he died at the hands of Hachiro.

The second is the flower of the famous general, Abe Norihide, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general and died under the mortar of the Eighth Route Army in the Loess Ridge.

The third was Lieutenant General Muto Zhang, who died under the mountain artillery group of the Eighth Route Army at Niangzi Pass.

The fourth was Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Hirata, who was also killed by the Eighth Route Shelling.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

Hearing the news of Hirata's Kenyoshi jade shattering also completely aroused his anger.

They were all excellent generals of the Empire, and it was a great shame to die at the hands of a group of peasants.

"Division Commander!"

Chief of Staff Nakazawa walked in and bowed his head.

"Nakazawa-kun, Lieutenant General Hirata has broken jade." Kunomura Momoyo said in a deep voice: "This is a telegram from Commander Shinozuka. ”

"Nani?"

Nakazawa's face changed, and he took the telegram and read it.

After reading the telegram, Nakazawa was full of disbelief, this group of rats actually defeated the 37th Division, and Lieutenant General Hirata was also killed?

In the past few days of entering the Eighth Route Base Area and engaging the Eighth Route Army, although the Eighth Route has been blocking layer by layer, Nakazawa Province believes that the tactics of the Eighth Route such as mine warfare and sparrow warfare are just some small tricks, and these alone cannot defeat the Japanese army, nor can they stop the pace of the Japanese army's attack.

The only trouble is that the Eighth Route has the advantage of fighting at home, and their main force does not fight head-on with the Japanese army, and it is difficult for the Japanese army to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route.

Moreover, the continuous layers of blocking and harassing made the Japanese troops a little tired.

However, now it is close to the arsenal of the Eighth Road, in an old Chinese saying, called a monk who can run the temple.

Their soldiers could escape, but the arsenal couldn't.

Zhongze Province: "Your Excellency Division Commander, I went to the vanguard unit to inspect in the morning, and when I came back, I gained something. ”

"What's the catch?"

Zhongze Province: "There is a person who calls himself Wang Fugui, saying that he is familiar with the terrain of Huangya Cave, and after arriving at the periphery of Huangya Cave, he is willing to lead the imperial army to attack the Huangya Cave Arsenal from the path. ”

"Oh?" Kunomura Momoyo's expression moved, "What about others?" ”

Nakazawa Province: "It's just outside." ”

Kunomura Momoyo said: "Let him in!" ”

"Hey!" Nakazawa turned around and walked to the door of the headquarters and shouted out, "Bring him in!" ”

A moment later, two soldiers with 38 big covers escorted Wang Fugui in.

"Taijun, Taijun!" As soon as Wang Fugui came in, he couldn't help but nod his head to Kunomura Momoyo and Nakazawa Province.

"Can you lead the way for the Imperial Army?"

Kunomura Momoyo leaned forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Wang Fugui with a gaze that seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts.

Nakazawa Province is a China expert, and he simultaneously translated Kuno's question to Wang Fugui in Chinese.

"No problem, my friend and I grew up in this area since we were children, and we are very familiar with Huangya Cave." Wang Fugui replied cautiously.

"Why are you leading the way for the Imperial Army?"

Hisano stared at Wang Fugui's eyes and asked again.

Wang Fugui's tone was cautious and gloomy: "Because I hate the Eighth Route Army, as soon as they came, they robbed the house that originally belonged to me and the land that belonged to me and distributed it to those mud legs... I'm going to take revenge on the Eight Paths. ”

This Wang Fugui was originally a famous squire in these ten miles and eight towns, and after the eight roads came, he beat the local tyrants and divided the fields.

In order to save his life, Wang Fugui voluntarily took out the land and distributed it to Balu, but he always secretly held a grudge in his heart.

When the devils came to sweep, the Eighth Route Army mobilized the people to transfer, and local tyrants and inferior gentry like Wang Fugui said they didn't want to leave.

Seeing that the devil's army attacked the hinterland of the base area, this group of squires thought that the Eighth Route was finished, and they did not hesitate to become traitors of the devils.

"Yo Xi!" After listening to Wang Fugui's words, Kunomura Momoyo said happily, "Wang Sang, you are a friend of the imperial army, and after you destroy the Eight Roads, the reward will be great." ”

Wang Fugui hurriedly expressed his position, grateful to Dade for a while, and then was taken down by the devil soldiers.

"Nakazawa-kun, you have done a good job in this matter." After a pause, Momoyo Kunomura asked again, "Where have the forward troops advanced?" ”

The divisional headquarters and the units of the headquarters were together with the artillery wing, and the 3rd, 4th and 5th wings of the 2nd Guards Division were attacking and advancing at the front.

Due to the terrain, the devil is not familiar with the path, so he can only attack along the main road.

However, the Eighth Route Army has always been blocking the attack, and the number of wounded by the devils has been increasing.

Zhongze Province pointed to the map: "Division commander, the vanguard will arrive at Gujia Village immediately, pass Gujia Village, and turn 3 kilometers west to Huojiazhuang to reach the Eighth Route Arsenal." ”

Kunomura Momoyo's eyes sank, and he nodded: "Yo Xi, the vanguard troops are only 6 kilometers away from the periphery of the Eighth Route Arsenal, order the vanguard troops to speed up!" ”

After a pause, Kunomura Momoyo pulled out the lieutenant general's command knife with a bang: "My war knife can't wait, after capturing the Huangyadong Arsenal, cut off all the heads of the eight roads and hang them on the cliff of the first line of heaven to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of Lieutenant General Hirata and Lieutenant General Takeda!" ”

"Hey!" Nakazawa sneered, lowered his head and turned to walk out.

……

The commander of the search wing of the 2nd Guards Division, Yoshimasa Imachu, led the troops to attack and advance.

According to the map, there is Gujiazhuang in front.

The search wing is a special formation of the Japanese army.

It is mainly responsible for multiple tasks such as reconnaissance, campaign breakthrough, campaign maneuver, and campaign pursuit.

In addition to the wing headquarters, there is also a horse squadron, a vehicle squadron, and an armored vehicle squadron.

The entire wing consisted of about 400 people, more than 120 horses, 12 Type 95 tanks, and 15 trucks.

Such an establishment does have high mobility and protection power, and can achieve a certain degree of rampage on low-tech and relatively flat terrain.

In particular, after tearing through the defense line of the infantry-based troops, it is more likely to cause confusion and fear to the enemy, and further develop the results of the battle.

In Jinzhong Wuyi's view, such a force is a piece of cake to deal with Tubalu.

However, the effect of the search wing was greatly beyond his expectations, and the Eighth Route was actually equipped with powerful anti-tank weapons, and 7 of the 12 tanks of the search wing had been scrapped.

Even the cavalry could not give full play to the advantage of mobility in the ravine-crisscrossed mountains.

There are also a lot of German-style S mines buried on the eighth road on the road, and this kind of mine is extremely powerful, and it is a large area when it explodes.

The sappers of the search wing were often knocked out by sudden machine-gun fire when they were clearing mines.

When Jinzhong Wuyi responded with firepower, and then led his troops to attack, the Eighth Road ran away again.

When you feel safe, you don't have to take a few steps and suddenly appear again, giving you a burst of firepower.

From yesterday to this morning, the search wing has advanced less than 30 kilometers, and most of the casualties have already been lost.

Otherwise, with the remaining 100 or so people, they would have been eaten by the Eighth Road a long time ago.

Imachu Wuyi forcefully lifted the turret cover of the Type 95 light tank, and glanced forward at the bleak village in front of him.

A soldier came running with a rifle and reported: "Report to the Wing Commander, no one has been found in the village!" ”

"Keep searching, moving forward!" Martial arts in the present.

"Hey!"

Several sappers with minesweepers slowly searched along the main road next to Gujia Village.

……

Temple top mountain.

Taihang Column Headquarters.

Huang Erhu put down the high-power walkie-talkie, stood up and turned to salute Li Yunlong: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the enemy's vanguard has arrived in Gujia Village." ”

"Good!" Li Yunlong nodded, "Order the scouts to report the enemy's location at any time!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Erhu answered, turned around and returned to his seat.

Li Yunlong raised his wrist and looked at the time, it is expected that the devil will have 3 hours to reach the periphery of the Huangyadong Arsenal and 2 hours to enter the encirclement.

So, he walked over to the radio intercom, turned on the talk, and picked up the handset.

"Hey, Boss Li calls Boss Chen, Boss Li calls Boss Chen."

At this time, in the base under a certain hill less than 20 kilometers away from the Huangyadong Arsenal, a beautiful boy heard the sound of electricity coming from the radio intercom next to him.

Liang Zai picked up the receiver microphone and responded: "Boss Chen received it, Boss Li, please speak." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Boss Li applied for the pigeon to take off. ”

Not long after, Chen Feng said on the radio: "The pigeon has been arranged to take off immediately." ”

Hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately hung up the call, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, the little devil is waiting to become a mature person.

"Li Yunlong!" A familiar voice sounded in Li Yunlong's ears.

Li Yunlong quickly turned around and saw the division commander wearing glasses walking in from the door, and hurriedly saluted: "Division commander!" ”

It was the division commander who personally commanded the 4 regiments to block the 2nd Guards Division of the Devils, and the 2nd Guards Division did not get any bargain in the hands of the division commander.

But now it shouldn't be called blocking, but luring the enemy deeper.

The division commander asked, "Li Yunlong, the vanguard of the devils has arrived in Gujia Village, how is it on your side?" ”

"Report to the Divisional Commander." Li Yunlong said, "The pocket has been laid out, and now I am waiting for the 2nd Guards Division raised by the son of a son to come in." ”

The division commander looked relieved and asked Li Yunlong about the deployment of his troops.

Li Yunlong first reported the deployment of troops, and then smiled: "Division commander, in addition to setting up a large pocket array, I also called in air support to ensure that the Emperor's Guards raised in the Year of the Dog will drink a big pot." ”

"Not bad!" The division commander nodded, and then lifted his glasses, his expression extremely satisfied.
