Han Feng's judgment of the form of Xiangfen was not wrong at all, originally there were two Japanese squadrons and a puppet army brigade stationed in Xiangfen.

In the Linfen area, first Hongdong, and then Guxian, Anze, Fushan, Yicheng, and Qinshui were broken one after another, the Japanese officers came back to their senses, and it turned out that the puppet army did not secretly pass the Eighth Road, all of which were just rumors deliberately created by the Eighth Route Army to separate the Japanese puppet army.

Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese army stationed in Jin, even personally called Linfen and Xiangfen, and while comforting the captains of the puppet army in the two county towns, he also advised the Japanese officers guarding the city that they must not casually doubt the loyalty of the Imperial Allied Army to the empire, and should give the Imperial Allied Army a chance to prove themselves.

Then there was an incident where the puppet army went out of the city and exchanged fire with the new third regiment arriving in advance.

The Japanese puppet army in Xiangfen and Linfen no longer suspected each other, and the Japanese lieutenant general Yoshio Shinozuka personally commanded the battle remotely, he knew that Han Feng and Li Yunlong were menacing, and the combined strength of Xiangfen and Linfen was not much.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered that after leaving a small part of the Japanese puppet army in Xiangfen, all of them were evacuated to Linfen.

His order was clear: concentrate all forces to defend Linfen, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then flank from both sides to destroy the invading enemy.

Under this order, the reinforcements of the Japanese army in the north, south and east directions naturally approached Linfen even more desperately.

Needless to say, the tenacity of the Eighth Route Army's combat willpower naturally went without saying, and there were four regiments in the north-south direction, 771, 772, the new 1st Regiment, and the 2nd New Regiment to defend it, and destroyed the railway line to Linfen County.

Then naturally only a few Japanese reinforcements from Changzhi and Jincheng from the east are the most promising to arrive in Linfen, but there is a premise, Qinshui is the only way, and if you want to reach Linfen, taking the road from here is the shortest shortcut.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two Japanese troops from Changzhi and Jincheng besieged the east gate of Qinshui County, at three o'clock, the Japanese army began to attack the city, this is a big battle, I don't know the number of mortars towards the city gate is a burst of fierce bombardment, light and heavy machine gun bullets poured, almost the east gate of Qinshui County is covered with a firepower net intertwined by bullets, the city tower was flattened by shells after holding on for half an hour, looking at the appearance of the Japanese army at all sparing ammunition, as if they want to blow up the city gate directly with shells.

At this time, in order to comply with Shinozuka Yoshio's repeated urging orders, the Japanese army no longer cared about the siege strategy, and almost used the same rude and direct method as Li Yunlong and Han Feng before attacking the city.

The Japanese army did not receive specific information, and the Guo army was afraid of retaliation from the Japanese army, so they deliberately concealed this news for the time being, and the Japanese troops who came to help thought that it was the Eighth Route Army stationed in Qinshui County!

Only then did he open his formation and greet him with the fiercest attack.

But how could they have expected that at this moment, the only thing guarding Qinshui County was the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, a rabble known as the Double Gun Regiment.

As soon as the battle started, the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army guarding the east gate was directly stunned, when had they ever seen such fierce firepower, which was very different from the regiment commander Bao Song's perception of the Japanese army.

Judging from the remnants of the Japanese army that swept away the remnants before, it seems that the devils are nothing more than that, why can they burst out with such strong combat effectiveness at this time, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood?

Bao Song couldn't understand the reason, but the casualties in front of him were obvious, a battalion of nearly 1,000 people and horses successively defended on the city tower and the battlements, in a short time, the two sides exchanged fire, and the casualties were nearly half.

How can this battle be fought? Although Bao Song was confused, he woke up more than anyone else when he faced death, in this case, his side had almost no power to fight back, and it was only a matter of time before the city gate was breached.

Escape?

This thought just grew in Bao Song's mind, and he could no longer erase it.

The adjutant was hit in the left arm by the Japanese army, and his right hand pressed his left arm tightly, the blood was still gurgling down, he was not a fool, and said to Bao Song in pain: "Tuanzao, withdraw!" We are on the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and we have blocked the guns for them. ”

Bao Song was shocked, he suddenly remembered that Political Commissar Xu, who was a good person in his impression, had repeatedly assured him that the goal of the Japanese army was Linfen, and there were Japanese reinforcements in the north, south and east, but their Eighth Route Army would block all the Japanese reinforcements, and as long as the 227th Regiment was stationed in Qinshui County, it could sit back and relax.

But what's going on now? Why did the Japanese army come to the city, could it be that the Eighth Route Army was wiped out? But judging from the Japanese troops who rushed over, except for some of the wind and dust, where did they look like they had fought for half a minute?

There is no doubt about the matter, just like the adjutant said, he Bao Song was carried away by interests for a while, and only thought about the huge merit of capturing Qinshui County, and the rich oil and water in Qinshui County, but was fooled by the political commissar Xu.

"Damn, don't let Lao Tzu run into his surname Xu again!" Bao Song scolded and scolded non-stop.

The adjutant said: "Tuanza, can we withdraw or not?" ”

Bao Song can sit in the position of regiment commander and become a small warlord when the warlords are fighting, naturally he also has his ability, and he is not blinded by interests at the moment, but he can also judge the situation:

"Retreat? Where to retreat? This little devil in front of us obviously has mechanized troops, as long as we retreat on the front foot, they will break through the city, and they will definitely catch up with us, and when the time comes, there will be no city gate as a defense, and we will really be all done.

Besides, the news of our capture of Qinshui County has been published in the daily newspapers of the Guotong District, and Chief Yan and the chairman of the committee have decided to order the commendation of Lao Tzu, and now let Lao Tzu withdraw with the team, and be chased by the little devils like a lost dog, isn't this a slap in the face of the chairman and Chief Yan? ”

The adjutant reacted, "Tuanza, what should we do now?" ”

Bao Song said: "The Japanese army attacked from the east gate, just to pass through our Qinshui County and take the shortest shortcut to Linfen, damn, we really used the Eighth Road as a gun this time, and we couldn't retreat, I was really angry."

Now there is no other way but to defend the east gate, and give an order to withdraw most of the troops from the north gate, the south gate and the west gate, and quickly support the east gate.

Then he asked for help from the surrounding friendly forces, including the Eighth Route Army, and sent a telegram to the headquarters, saying that our 227th Regiment was fighting with a large number of Japanese troops in Qinshui County, and that it had won an excellent opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to capture Linfen, and asked the Commander's Department to send reinforcements. ”

The adjutant said worriedly: "Tuanza, the people from the Commander's Department can't deal with the Eighth Route Army, we all know this, if we report this news, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Bao Song said with a dark face: "I'm afraid of the damn, since we surrendered to Lao Yan, has he sent a soldier to Lao Tzu?" If it weren't for the current situation, he would still use Lao Tzu, he would have gotten rid of Lao Tzu a long time ago, and Lao Tzu would have pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers to live, why should he think about them?

You remember, our brother's life is more important than anything else, regardless of whether he is the Eighth Route Army or the Fruit Army, as long as he can support us and save us now, Lao Tzu will be grateful to him.

Tell the brothers that in two more hours, our reinforcements will arrive. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant replied and turned to prepare.
