The Yanbei detachment crossed the railway in a mighty way.

Then he joined the comrades of the Wutaishan detachment.

Ding Wei finally returned to his own army. Immediately retract the six field guns.

This is a sharp weapon for the future and must be cherished.

"Staff Officer Zhang......"

"There are so many of you!"

"What do you say?"

"Understood."

Zhang Chu nodded.

What you promised, you will definitely do.

There are indeed many people in the Wutai Mountain detachment. Most of them are mobilized militias.

Didn't say, all German equipment.

Li Yunlong, a new regiment, a beautiful machine.

Kong Jie, Independent Regiment, Su Machine.

Ding Wei, it's the turn of the German machine.

Mauser 98K rifle. Paired with the MG34 general-purpose machine gun. There are also 81-mm mortars.

"One general-purpose machine gun per squad."

"Each company has a machine-gun platoon. Plus three. That's a twelve. ”

"9 mortars per company."

Zhang Chu simply communicated with Ding Wei.

The heart of the German infantry squad is this MG34 machine gun.

The rest of the Mauser 98K or something, all revolve around this MG34 general-purpose machine gun. Of little consequence.

As a supplement to melee firepower, each squad was armed with two more MP40 submachine guns.

The problem now is that Zhang Chu doesn't have so many shell guns. It is not possible to upgrade to enough submachine guns.

What to do?

Each squad is armed with three SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles.

Anyway, with a submachine gun is also a new bullet. Semi-automatic rifles are also new bullets. Then replace it with a semi-automatic rifle.

Ding Wei had no objection.

He now focuses only on mortars and field artillery.

Especially field artillery. That was where the core firepower of the entire Wutaishan detachment was. Indispensable.

"Staff Officer Zhang, how many more?"

"Yes! An adjutant command knife, a field gun. ”

"Deal!"

Ding Wei immediately agreed.

The command knife of the Japanese general is not good, but there is still hope for the adjutant.

These command knives are of little use if they are captured.

If it could be used to change a field gun, he would have dreamed of laughing.

"Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

As weapons and ammunition were gradually put in place, the battle unfolded one after another.

The first is to seize the outlying strongholds of Fanxian.

The first stronghold is the Iron Horse Village.

There are three turrets here. A squad of Japanese invaders stationed there. A company of the puppet army.

Based on previous battles, this stronghold was quite difficult to attack. Because the three turrets cooperate with each other. There are no dead spots at all.

At the same time, as soon as the gun goes off here, the Japanese invaders know that it is the Tsuchibachi Road that has launched the attack.

The Japanese soldiers stationed in the county seat will report it immediately.

Then the Japanese planes would go out to reconnoitre. If it is determined that it is a large-scale attack on the Tsuchihachi Road, reinforcements will be dispatched.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Field artillery began to go berserk.

Shell after shell, smashing into the three turrets.

Zhang Chu promised to reimburse the ammunition, and the artillery was all open. There is no psychological burden, but it is very accurate.

"Boom!"

"Boom la la ......"

"Boom!"

"Boom la la ......"

In less than five minutes, all three turrets were destroyed.

The Japanese invaders inside, as well as the puppet army, were all buried under the ruins. And then mortar greetings.

Mortars ravaged the ruins over and over again.

Even if there are Japanese criminals who have not yet lost their breath, after being bombed repeatedly, they have become meat sauce.

"Nani?"

"There are field artillery on the Eighth Road?"

"Yaga!"

Mototake Doi immediately realized that something was wrong.

He was aware of a deep sense of crisis.

Tubalu, this is going to attack yourself! They came for Fanxian.

Hurriedly report the situation to the superiors.

Outcome......

The phone didn't go through.

But it was Tu Ba Lu who had already cut off the telephone line.

Luckily, there is also a radio station.

So he hurriedly reported the situation on the radio.

In the end, the intelligence went all the way to Saburo Saito, the chief of staff of the First Army.

"Nani?"

"Fanxian?"

Saburo Saito hurriedly checked the map.

Figured it out.

Tubalu was originally going to attack Fanxian.

Trouble.

The location of Fanxian County is a bit up and down.

It is only about thirty kilometers away from the nearest county seat. It stands to reason that this is a very short distance.

If there were no accidents, reinforcements could have been dispatched quickly.

Now the situation is, who can guarantee that there are no surprises? Who dares to guarantee that Tuba Road is not a siege and reinforcements?

That's what Dirt Eight Road does best.

As soon as your reinforcements are dispatched, there is a risk that you will fall into the ambush circle of the Dirt Eight Road.

Once you fall into the ambush circle of the dirt road......

Saburo Saito had palpitations.

The consequences are unimaginable. Even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Do not forget that there are field artillery on the Dirt Eighth Road.

With all the field artillery, will the other firepower be worse?

One or two squadrons of reinforcements are completely a head-off.

But the garrison of each nearby county is, at most, a brigade. It is impossible to draw more reinforcements.

In fact, the county is dangerous, and so are the other counties.

Since Tubalu has the ability to attack Fanxian, it must also be capable of attacking other counties!

Helpless......

Come to report Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

Yaga!

Cursed in the heart.

The knife of the earth eight road is really fatal.

This prosperous county is about 300 miles away from Ping'an County. The distance is not far away, but it is not close.

The reinforcements going north, if they go to save Fanxian County, they will not be able to take care of Ping'an County.

If you go to save Ping'an County, you won't be able to take care of Fanxian County.

Tired. It's just two ends that don't go ashore.

When did Tsuchihachi become so active? How dare you start a large-scale war in three places at the same time?

Pondering for a long time......

In the end, the original plan was maintained.

Let the 29th Division go to the rescue of Fanxian.

Let the other troops attack Ping'an County.

Although the troops are divided into two ways. But the superiority in troops is still huge.

Especially North Road.

A complete 29th Division! That's three wings!

Even if you encounter the Tubalu to attack, it will be fine. As long as Fanxian can hold out for about a week.

Why a week?

Because considering that there will definitely be dirt eight road interceptions along the way.

The road to Fanxian is not easy to walk. If there is an interception by the dirt road, it will take more time.

But it will definitely be there in seven days.

It is impossible for the Dirt Eighth Road to stop a division of the Japanese army for seven days!

So, is there a problem with the Fanxian defenders holding out for seven days? Definitely not!

"Your Excellency the Commander......"

Saburo Saito wanted to speak and stopped.

He wanted to ask for advice on whether to report this matter to the authorities.

On top of the First Army, there is also the North China Front! The commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, was said to have been "not very satisfied" with the First Army.

Major General Miyano, chief of staff of the North China Front, is about to leave for Taiyuan to inspect military affairs.

To put it bluntly, it's that Tada Jun doesn't trust Yoshio Shinozuka. I want to send someone to replace it.

What an eventful time......

If the county loses again......

"Saito-kun, let's go and arrange it!"

"Please rest assured, our First Army has the ability to enforce law and order in Jingjin Province."

Yoshio Shinozuka said slowly.

Saburo Saito then took his leave. There is no upward reporting.

The commander apparently wanted to hide this.

So I went to Dianfan County. Let the defenders hold out for ten days.

Well, that's three more days......

It was customary. It's safer this way.

"Yes!"

Mototake Doi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank God. The commander still attaches great importance to Fanxian. A division was dispatched directly to the rescue.

Hold on for 10 days......

No problem at all.

Even if there is a field artillery on the dirt eight roads. He wasn't afraid.

The fortifications of Fanxian County have been repeatedly reinforced. A large number of Chinese laborers were employed. There are tens of thousands of people in front of and behind!

"Report!"

"Red Flower Temple Base ......"

"Fierce ...... of the Eight Roads"

Before he finished talking here, over there, the stronghold of the Red Flower Temple was lost.

There was also a burst of artillery bombardment on the Tuba Road. Directly destroy all the turrets and pillboxes. Then they were bombarded with mortars in turns. Directly blow up all the defenders to death.

Simple.

Direct.

Brusque.

In order to ensure a direct hit, the fighters pushed the field guns less than five hundred meters in front of the enemy's turrets.

Bursts of bayonets on cannons.

One cannon and one turret. You can hit with your eyes closed.

The Japanese were completely defeated.

They had never been fought in such a way before.

The artillery fire is so fierce?

It's all in ruins, and it's still bombarding indiscriminately?

Yaga!

What the hell is crazy about Dirt Eight Road!

Are they not ready to live?

Today's update is over. Continued tomorrow.
