Half an hour later, the station fell silent again, and only the recruits who were still training and a special combat squadron left at home in the back mountain around Liao Fan's division headquarters had been arranged. Bayi Chinese? Net (viii)(viii).

The scale of the battle of the 33rd Independent Division could be regarded as a small battle, but they only faced a few thousand Japanese troops at the beginning. Twenty thousand troops were on standby and rushed to the front, the neighing of horses and the clashing of weapons, which was the entire strength of the 33rd Independent Division, and before the arrival of darkness, they began to rush to the front.

Liao Fan paced back and forth in the headquarters, looking at his watch from side to side, ten o'clock was the time of the general attack, and he only hoped that the troops would not make any mistakes during this time period.

At this time, Gangcun Ningji was in the headquarters in Wuhan looking at the collected information, some of which were about the Fifth Theater of Operations and some about the 33rd Independent Division. Whether it was facing the Fifth War Zone or the 33rd Independent Division, Gangcun Ningci did not have the slightest relaxation and carelessness. Li Zongren has been an old opponent of the Japanese army for many years, and the battle of Taierzhuang has proven his ability, so Gangcun Ningci attaches great importance to it. As for the independent 33rd Division, Gangcun Ningci did not dare to despise it, because the information that was constantly gathered made him feel that Taihang Mountain was not a good place.

Gangcun Ningci is a qualified commander, Wuhan in summer is a sultry city, hot people can't eat, and constantly use freshly dug well water to wash their bodies and cool themselves. However, Gangcun Ningji sat motionless in the command headquarters, occasionally wiping the insignificant beads of sweat on his face with his hands.

However, a hurried phone ringing interrupted Okamura's thoughts, followed by hurried footsteps, and a Japanese lieutenant picked up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Gangcun Ningci heard a piece of information that made him uneasy or at least unable to sit still, that is, the independent 33rd Division was attacking, but what made him a little relieved was that the Taiyuan commander swore that the squadron would not take any city.

The breeze blew through the grass and leaves outside the city, and there was no cicada. In Pingding County, whether it was inside the city or outside the city, everything fell into silent darkness, only the dim lights at the city gate illuminated the Japanese soldiers and the sleepy puppet army standing guard at the city gate.

Ten o'clock in the evening was the time for the general attack of the 33rd Independent Division, but it was not the troops outside the city that fired the first shot, the crackling sound of fried soybeans in the city made the Japanese army and the puppet army at the city gate panic, followed by violent explosions, gunshots and explosions came from the direction of the Japanese military camp in Pingding County.

Hearing the gunshots in the city, the soldiers of a regiment lurking outside the city did not wait for Ma Wanzhong to give an order, they launched an attack on the periphery of Pingding County, a mortar shell accurately fell at the city gate, and the seven or eight Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who had not yet reacted were blown into minced meat on the spot.

There was no horn to charge, but the shouting of killing shook the earth, and Ma Wanzhong couldn't hear the explosion coming from the city.

"Da Da Da"

The tongues of fire from the machine guns formed a dense network of fire, and the Japanese troops on the city walls were suppressed and could not raise their heads, and there was no way to stop the effective attack. The attacking troops rushed to the city wall in a short time, but the Japanese troops on the city wall were also battle-hardened veterans, although they were suppressed, they threw a dense number of grenades from above the city wall, and many soldiers died in the explosion of the grenades before the besieging troops could set up the ladders.

Fifteen minutes later, the battle for the walls was declared a failure, and the attacking troops left more than a hundred corpses and blown siege ladders under the walls.

"Concentrate artillery fire and blow the city gates open! Then let a battalion cover the Flying Thunder Cannon within range and up a hole in the city wall! From the telescope, Ma Wanzhong saw the situation of the siege troops, the first wave of attacks failed, he must immediately start the second wave of attacks, regardless of whether the rebel army in the city can hold on, but the Japanese reinforcements will definitely not leave Ma Wanzhong too much time.

Ma Wanzhong didn't put his hope at the city gate, after all, the Japanese army set up a machine gun in the city gate hole was a huge damage to their troops pouring in from the city gate, so Ma Wanzhong wanted to blow up the city wall, as for whether this section of the city wall would become a key breakthrough for the little devils when they defended, Ma Wanzhong didn't care.

The Flying Thunder Cannon is worthy of being a Flying Thunder Cannon, and the distance of a hundred meters is enough for it to show powerful firepower. The Japanese soldiers guarding the city wall only felt that the sky was spinning, and then many little devils lay on the city wall and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and there was no trace of life anymore. The Flying Thunder Artillery Group is definitely a big killer move, and the ferocious firepower is enough to shock the Japanese troops who are too close to the city wall to death.

After the explosion, a huge gap of about two meters appeared in the city wall, because the Japanese troops in the city were dragged by the puppet army and the soldiers of the special combat team, they could not support the battle on the city wall at all, and the defense of the empty city wall was easily occupied by a group of soldiers.

"The first battalion, the second battalion support the battalion commander and them! The 3rd and 4th battalions cooperated with each other to occupy important facilities and factories in the city, and the rest of the battalions immediately arranged defenses outside the city and on the city walls! ”

The commander of the Japanese army in Pingding County, thinking that they were very close to Yangquan and Taiyuan, so he had no intention of putting the defense outside the city at all, but he did not expect that his troops would be dragged by the puppet army in the city, and they could not support the city wall at all, so a regiment directly used strong firepower to open the way and attack the county town with internal and external cooperation, and the most important thing was that the Japanese army was dragged in the barracks, and the soldiers of the first regiment did not have to worry about fighting with the Japanese soldiers in the city, and went straight to the Japanese barracks.

In just half an hour, Ma Wanzhong moved his headquarters from outside the city to the city, and in order to prevent harm to the people, Ma Wanzhong immediately arranged for soldiers to move the people from the north and west of the city to the south of the city, because the direction of the Japanese reinforcements would be the main attack from these two directions.

"Boom Boom"

The explosives fired by the flying thunder shells blew up the barracks of the little devils, just like smashing a child's building blocks with a ten-pound lead ball, and several important firepower points in the Japanese barracks were blown into ruins, and the commander of the first battalion, the commander of the second battalion and the commander of the second battalion met with Zhi Zhengming.

The battle of the Japanese command continued, and a company of the three battalions responsible for storming the Japanese command headquarters did not have strong firepower, and they broke in several times and were beaten out by the little devils, and when the commander of the third battalion arrived, he was driven out for the third time.

"Where's the Flying Thunder Cannon?" Each company in the unit is equipped with at least one thunderbolt.

"Battalion commander, the regiment commander said that there is important information in the Japanese headquarters, try not to use flying thunder cannons, otherwise those information will be destroyed!" The company commander said that he had wanted to use the flying thunder cannon for a long time, but Ma Wanzhong repeatedly reminded them of the importance of intelligence, because Liao Fan almost knelt down for the four regiment commanders when he was at the headquarters, so Ma Wanzhong asked not to use the flying thunder cannon.

The commander of the third battalion took off the hat on his head and threw it on the ground, and then ordered: "The machine gunner opens the way, the grenade follows, and the rest of the people follow me!" "The third battalion commander was also very annoyed, obviously he had strong firepower, but he couldn't use it, so he could only use the most primitive method.

Sometimes the most primitive method is also the most effective way, and sure enough, the little devil was compressed into a few houses, and there was no more ** to fight back.

"Room by room with grenades!" The commander of the third battalion, who was hiding behind a corner, gave orders to the soldiers.

After fifty minutes of fighting, the county seat of Pingding has gradually come to an end, and there are still sporadic Japanese troops resisting, and they can no longer form an effective threat to a group. However, Ma Wanzhong did not show mercy and ordered the use of grenadiers to clean up the areas where there was resistance.

At this time, the defending troops outside the city of Pingding County had already exchanged fire with the Japanese vanguard that had come to support.

……

Hu Guoshan, who led the troops to attack Heshun County, encountered a little trouble, the Japanese army had fortifications outside the city, and there were two Japanese squadrons and a regiment of the puppet army in Heshun County to defend, after an hour of fierce competition, Hu Guoshan led a part of the three regiments, which had gradually gained a firm foothold in the peripheral positions.

However, what distressed Hu Guoshan was that the fortifications outside the city were too close to the city wall, and the fire points on the Japanese city wall completely covered the fortifications outside the city, and a company that had just rushed up lost half of its personnel in ten minutes.

However, the weapons in their hands were good, the waist pole was hard, the mountain artillery, mortars and flying thunder artillery of the three regiments were all used, and the Japanese troops defending on the city wall were dizzy, and they began to wonder when the weapons of the Chinese were so well configured.

Hearing the heat of the battle on the city wall, the special combat soldiers in the city came to the momentum, they didn't care about the troops outside the city at all, and directly rushed to the headquarters established by the Japanese army, and the key was to capture the commander of the Japanese army alive.

"Commander order, lay down your arms and accept surrender!" This was an order given by the captain of the special combat team to the Japanese army over the phone, and he learned Japanese from Shao Guangqi. Although Japanese is spoken with a strong local accent, who cares if you have an accent or not?

As a result, halfway through the battle, the Japanese army in the city surrendered, which was really rare, Hu Guoshan didn't believe it at first, thinking that the little Japanese surrendered and set a trap for him. After repeated confirmations, Hu Guoshan was sure that the little devil had indeed surrendered.

After entering the city to meet with the soldiers of the special combat team, Hu Guoshan realized that it was the credit of the special combat team, but looking at this group of Japanese and puppet soldiers, Hu Guoshan didn't know what to do.

Xiyang County is the last county to be captured, responsible for attacking Xiyang County is the deputy head of the third regiment Zhao Caizhu, Zhao Caizhu did not plan to attack at the beginning, but ambushed the troops outside the city and quietly waited for the opportunity, this opportunity is the call for help from Heshun County and Pingding County.
