The Japanese army's enemy headquarters in front of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Tada Shun is of medium build, with gray hair and slightly sunken eye sockets. He is wearing a military uniform and carries a majestic look.

But at this time, Tada Shun's face looked slightly ugly.

Because the headquarters of the 41st Division was bombed, the division commander Goro Mano was shattered, and the regiments of the 41st Division suffered heavy losses in the bombing. The battle on the Nakajo Shandong Front, which was originally a sure thing, suddenly became anxious.

News just came from Taiyuan that Tubal Road was restless in the rear and relied on air support to capture Niangziguan and cut off the communication line of Zhengtai Road.

This is not over yet, the Banba Army is actually attacking Yangquan?!

If the rear is unstable, the war on the front will inevitably be affected.

The cause of all this is that a Chinese army and pilots occupied Yuncheng Airport!

Yuncheng can be said to be in the center of tens of thousands of troops. How did the China Army do it?

With the powerful intelligence system of the imperial army, they were not aware of it at all in advance, allowing the Chinese army to infiltrate Yuncheng silently.

Which unit of the Chinese Army was responsible for this?

Is it the Jinsui Army?

Or the Central Army?

Or Tubal Road?

Tada Shun immediately excluded the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army did not even have a single plane. How could it have so many outstanding pilots?

It is also unlikely that the Jinsui Army and the senior spies placed around Yan Xishan were not aware of it at all.

It is also impossible for the Central Army at Zhongtiao Mountain. The Central Army at Zhongtiao Mountain has long been infiltrated into a sieve.

Could it be Hu Zongnan's elite troops coming from southern Shaanxi, or a senior special agent team from Chongqing?

Shun Tada lowered his head and looked at the Nakajoyama battle drill sand table in front of him, frowning and lost in thought.

Lieutenant Colonel Matsui Tadao, the communications staff officer, walked in and paused: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from the 117th Regiment of the 41st Division. The 117th Regiment was besieged by two divisions of the Chinese Army in Hanshan and was carpet-bombed by bombers. After breaking through,

The 117th Regiment has less than 800 soldiers left, more than 2,500 soldiers were destroyed, and most of the officers and soldiers, including the commander of the regiment, Hakuba Nojiro, were destroyed by the aerial bombing!"

Hearing this, Jun Tada's cheeks twitched slightly, and anger surged in his eyes.

Tada Shun's voice was low: "How is the situation of other regiments of the 41st Division?"

Tadao Matsui said with a sigh of relief.

"According to the telegrams sent from the front lines!"

"The 108th Field Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses. 14 heavy artillery pieces, more than 40 mountain artillery pieces, and field artillery pieces were all destroyed!"

"The remaining infantry regiments also suffered heavy casualties from aerial bombings!"

"Following the second bombing by the China Army aviation force, the 14th Army of the China Army counterattacked. The 41st Division was retreating steadily and was in danger of being destroyed!"

Tada Shun's expression suddenly changed and he asked: "How long does it take for the ninth brigade to arrive?"

Matsui Tadao said: "According to the news from Major General Koshii Toranosuke, it will take another hour for the 9th Brigade to reach the Qinhe area!"

"Order the Ninth Brigade to speed up!" Tada Shun said, "We must arrive at the Qinhe battlefield within half an hour!"

"Hi!"

After a pause, Tada Jun said again: "Order the 132nd Regiment of the 37th Division and the other three brigades to speed up and retake Yuncheng Airport!"

"Hi!" Tadao Matsui nodded and walked quickly outside.

…

The two Japanese machine gunners purged the bullets from their light machine guns like they were having diarrhea.

Seeing nothing unusual, Captain Koike ordered: "Keep moving forward!"

The Japanese soldiers started jogging again, with the scorching sun above their heads, and all the Japanese soldiers were sweating profusely.

However, the Japanese soldiers were in extremely good physical condition. They marched continuously for nearly 30 kilometers without stopping and still had plenty of energy.

About 3 kilometers away from the Japs' vanguard, the special operations battalion set up its posture here, waiting for the Japs' vanguard to arrive.

On the one hand, there was no suitable ambush terrain nearby, so we had to fight head-on with the Japanese advance troops when we broke out to the north.

On the other hand, it is to attract the attention of the Japanese troops in the rear, so that the Langya King Gensheng team can do big things.

Duan Peng said: "Chief of Staff, count the time, the Japanese should be at the place where we buried fuel and bombs by now."

"almost."

Wei Dayong nodded and said loudly: "If you see the Japs later, don't worry about saving your ammunition and risk your life to say hello to me!"

Duan Peng asked with a smile: "Chief of Staff, the regimental commander and the others should be attacking Yangquan now, right?"

Wei Dayong said: "Maybe Yangquan has been captured by now."

Duan Peng said in surprise: "Ah? It can't be so fast, right?"

"Chief of Staff, you said our special operations battalion killed so many little Japs this time." First Company Commander Zhang Qing said, "What reward will the headquarters give us?"

Wei Dayong smiled and said: "A heroic battalion cannot escape. The Langya team has at least special skills for everyone. The premise is that we can break out of the enemy's encirclement. Now we are still in the hinterland of the enemy's defense zone. Whether we can successfully break through the encirclement still matters."

A question.”

Duan Peng said firmly: "You will definitely be able to take us back to the base!"

When the soldiers beside him heard this, their eyes were full of confidence and... personal admiration for Wei Dayong.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Wei Dayong was like the God of War, and they never suffered a defeat following him.

If soldiers have this confidence, they will never lose a battle in the future.

The special operations battalion will become a victorious heroic unit of the Eighth Route Army!

Chen Feng walked over quickly with a radio on his back, saluted Wei Dayong and said: "Chief of Staff, Wei Xiaoyong just said on the radio that Yangquan has been captured by the regiment commander and others!"

Duan Peng looked admiring: "Chief of Staff, you are really amazing. You can even do this?"

Wei Dayong laughed and said: "The most difficult thing to conquer in Yangquan is the city wall, but we have 250 kilograms of aerial bombs. It is not a problem to blow up the city wall. As long as the city wall is blown up, the Japanese in Yangquan City will be the turtles in the urn."

Not long after, Wei Dayong saw a group of Japanese soldiers trotting towards him through the telescope.

The Japs' vanguard troops have arrived.

After entering a distance of 1 kilometer from the special operations camp, Squadron Leader Koike suddenly waved his hand: "Stop!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Japanese soldiers behind him stopped immediately.

Captain Koike picked up his binoculars and looked over, and saw an indeterminate number of "Imperial Army" on the road ahead in an attack posture.

Why are there imperial troops here?

Are you still in an attacking stance?

Is it an enemy or a friendly force?

On the artillery position of the special operations battalion, Wang Chengzhu shouted to Wei Dayong: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese have stopped, can we fire?"

Wei Dayong decisively ordered: "Fire!"

The artillery was set up in advance. Following Wei Dayong's order, the artillery battery soldiers on the artillery position quickly adjusted to shoot at Zhu Yuan.

Then the shell was placed in the rifle breech, and the mortar operator also took the mortar shell and made standard movements to place it at the muzzle.

Wang Chengzhu shouted: "Let go!"

The 4 infantry guns and 6 mortars suddenly made a muffled thud, thump, thump, and the shells quickly rushed out of the muzzles, drew an arc in the air, and then hit the Japanese on the head.

Captain Koike observed for a while, and was about to send soldiers to negotiate first, when he suddenly saw smoke and fire rising from the artillery position on the right opposite side.

Immediately his expression changed and he shouted: "Shell attack, lie down!"

While shouting, he suddenly threw himself on the ground, but because his body was relatively fat, a loud bang caused a cloud of dust to scatter on the spot.

When the experienced Japanese soldiers heard the scream of artillery shells, they almost immediately reacted by lying down.

But not all the Japs had such good experience and reaction speed. Before they could figure out the situation, the shells fell and exploded next to the Japs.

Boom boom boom...

The shells landed on the road and exploded. The blasted up soil, shrapnel and air waves flew wildly, and a large number of Japanese soldiers suddenly fell down with screams.

The Japanese all lay down on the road with frightened expressions on their faces.

At this time, the second round of artillery shells arrived again, exploding on the road.

Since the Japanese had formed a dense formation before, now they were all lying on the road, making it look very crowded.

Several cannonballs hit the Japs in the back, directly blowing the Japs' body into pieces, and countless pieces of flesh and blood rained down.

After touching the blood drops on his face, Captain Xiaochi looked ugly and shouted quickly: "Baga, spread out, everyone spread out!"

The Japanese soldiers stood up and dispersed towards both sides of the road. In the process, the third round of artillery shells arrived.

The Japanese who stood up and dispersed to both sides were killed and injured more than twenty more.

"Fall back!"
