As soon as the captain of the devil squad heard Dazuo say that there were more than 800 retired soldiers of the Imperial Army on the train, the ghost turned his eyes and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, there are more than 800 retired soldiers of the Imperial Army on the train, this is a powerful combat force, if you immediately launch an attack on the Niangziguan Railway Station, you will quickly defeat Tubalu." ”

"Yaga, these veterans of the Imperial Army are no longer soldiers, their mission is to return safely to the land of Great Japan and reunite with their families, do you understand?"

The leader of the devil squad ignored Dazuo's anger, and then said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, you already know that Niangziguan Railway Station is now occupied by Tuba Road, once the Tuba Road reinforcements attack this train, the retired soldiers on the train who are ready to go home will be attacked by Tuba Road, and their lives are in danger."

Your Excellency Dazuo, besides, the Niangziguan Railway Station has been lost, you and more than 800 retired soldiers, just want to pass quickly, there is the Tuba Road to occupy, and you can't force it through, once the train is subverted by the Tuba Road, that, that ....... ”

Devil Dazuo was frightened by this cunning squad leader, who said these words that made him frightened, thinking about it carefully, it was not alarmist, he decisively ordered the accompanying communication staff officer: "Xiaojing-kun, quickly ask the North China Front Army Headquarters for instructions, Niangziguan Railway Station is lost, and now the train takes more than 800 retired soldiers who have returned to their hometowns, and they are blocked at Niangziguan Station, and my request is to lead more than 800 retired soldiers of the Imperial Army to take back Niangziguan Station, and the handover of retired soldiers in Shijiazhuang on time, please give an order as soon as possible." ”

The dull little devil will never dare to launch a military operation without an order from the top, and he will not dare to make his own decisions even if it is a fleeting opportunity.

At the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, in the war room at this time, Commander Okamura Ninji angrily knocked on the map of the seven main lines of the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Road, Baijin Road, Deshi Road, Jinghan Road, and Jinpu Road hanging on the wall, and sternly glanced at the senior generals standing at the conference table.

He suddenly said: "You are all high-ranking generals of the Imperial Japanese Army, at this time, these main railway lines, unexpectedly found a large number of troops on the Eighth Road, attacking these trunk lines, no, mainly the Zhengtai Line, as well as the bridges, culverts, stations, railways, railway facilities and command systems of the Imperial Japanese Army along the line, which have now paralyzed the whole line. ”

The commander of the First Army Corps of the North China Front, Xiangyue Qingji, thought that his rank was very high, and said lightly: "Your Excellency Commander Okamura, in the previous period, I have often attacked my communication line on the Tuba Road, and I will report to Your Excellency in detail, this Tuba Road attack is still the same old way, as long as a large force is sent to encircle and suppress, the Tuba Road will flee in the desert, and the railway transportation line will be restored soon." ”

"Xiangyue-kun, because of your carelessness, the four divisions could not rush to the aid in time, resulting in the paralysis of the entire North China railway and highway line, especially this major attack on the main communication line, the troops invested by the Eighth Route Army are increasing steadily, if you still despise what the Eighth Route Army did, then the North China communication line controlled by the Imperial Japanese Army will be paralyzed on the whole line, and once the military department investigates it, it will be dealt with by military law, Xiangyue-kun, do you understand?"

The commander of the Xiangyue Kiyoji Corps was twice questioned fiercely by Commander Okamura, and said angrily: "Okamura-kun, our corps has launched a large-scale battle with the Shina troops on the frontal battlefield, and as for the rear communication line being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the responsibility of the divisions and independent mixed brigades should be investigated, and it should have nothing to do with me." ”

The commanders of the divisions and independent mixed brigades present here, several of them are the direct troops of the commander of the First Army, the commander of the Kazuki Kiyoshi Division, and several generals are annoyed when they hear the corps commander shirk their responsibilities like this, but they are afraid of the influence of the commander of the Kazuki Kiyoji Corps in the military headquarters, and they dare not speak out, so they have to look at Commander Okamura Ninji, hoping to call the shots for them and say a fair word.

At this moment, General Tanabe Moritake, chief of staff of the Japanese army of the North China Front, presented an urgent telegram that he had just received to Commander Okamura.

General Okamura Ninji looked at the telegram, couldn't help but tremble with the telegram in his hand, and looked at the commander of the Xiangyue Qingji Regiment with a fierce look in his eyes and said: "Commander of the Xiangyue Army, Niangzi Pass is lost, Niangzi Pass Railway Station is lost, most of the Zhengtai Road railway was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the entire railway communication line has been paralyzed.

A column of more than 800 retired Imperial Army soldiers who were wounded and recovered on the battlefield were blocked at a distance of 200 meters outside Niangziguan Station, and the Wing Commander who coordinated the return requested how to send these retired Imperial Army soldiers to Shijiazhuang safely, may I ask Xiangyuejun, Niangziguan Station is the defense area of the Ninth Mixed Brigade of your 180th Division, how will you reply. ”

The commander of the Kazuki Kiyoji Corps listened to Commander Okamura Ninji, and questioned again in a stern tone, he just wanted to ridicule him, when he saw the subordinates present, they all looked at him with a strange look, this proud guy had to restrain his arrogance, and said with a humble attitude: "Okamura-kun, you are the commander, and all military operations of the First Legion are subject to your arrangement." ”

Okamura Ninji saw that he had defeated the arrogance of this bastard, and he said unceremoniously: "Kazuki-kun, if you don't mind, I will immediately give an order directly to the Ninth Mixed Brigade stationed near Niangzi Pass." ”

"Everything is under Commander Okamura's orders."

Okamura Ninji ordered the chief of staff: "Order the commander of the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade Yoshimaru Kiyomu Brigade stationed near Zhengtai Road to immediately send a wing to reinforce Niangzi Pass; Ordered the wing commander who was stopped on the Niangziguan train to pick up the retired imperial soldiers, and led more than 800 retired soldiers of the imperial army on the train to recapture the Niangziguan station with the greatest firepower, hold the position, and wait for reinforcements from a wing of the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade. ”

The wing commander who received the commander of the North China Command of the Japanese Army, personally sent combat orders, and received the retired soldiers of the train, was very flattered.

He ordered the retired soldiers on the train, who had been organized into an action team: "General Okamura Ninji, the commander of North China, personally ordered the more than 800 warriors of the imperial army on the train to immediately get off the train and enter the battle, and in the shortest possible time to capture the Niangziguan Station occupied by the Tuba Road, and wait for reinforcements from the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade. ”

At this time, the fifth regiment of the right column that had occupied Niangziguan Station, Commander Chen found that a train stopped two hundred meters away from Niangziguan Station, and it was not long.

The commander of the second company of the first battalion found that a large number of black shadows were rushing over, and there were still 200 meters away from Niangziguan, so he actually shot in advance, howling and rushing towards Niangziguan station.

Regiment Commander Chen ordered the second company to rely on the concealment of the station to carry out fire strikes on the attacking devils, but one company of 150 cadres and soldiers had captured Niangzi Pass very smoothly, but at this time, a large number of black and oppressive devils suddenly rushed over from the train, and the advantage quickly turned into a disadvantage.

The devil's offensive firepower was fierce, and it was difficult to repel the attacking enemy by using the narrow Niangziguan Station, and the reversal of the battlefield situation really caught the second company off guard.

Company Commander Deng said to Regiment Commander Chen: "Regiment Commander, you lead the guards to evacuate immediately, there is my second company here to block the attack, and we will definitely insist on other battalions coming over for reinforcements." ”

Commander Chen shook his head and said: "Company Commander Deng, now the first and third companies of the first battalion, the second and third battalions are each sticking to different positions to counterattack the enemy puppet army reinforced nearby. ”

There is a river behind Mohetan Village, that is, the Mianhe River, usually the Mianhe River is narrow and the water is slow, the water is not deep, it is the rainy season at this time, plus a heavy rain at night, the river water from other small rivers gushes, plus the rain flowing down the nearby mountain, the water level of the Mianhe River soars, the water flow is turbulent, the turbidity waves, a pours for several miles.

If you want to attack the Eighth Route Army that retreated to Mohetan Village and occupy the Niangziguan Station, only by breaking through from three sides can you eliminate the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 5th Regiment of the Right Column of the Eighth Route Army in the village.

Company Commander Deng, under the command of Regiment Commander Chen, ordered the soldiers of a company to be divided into three platoons and cut shooting holes in the walls of the village on three sides as fast as possible to block the Japanese attack with firepower.

According to the leader of the devil squad guarding the Niangziguan station, he said to Dazuo, who was the commander of the second company of the Eighth Route Army and led the retired soldiers to attack: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the area of Mohetan Village is not large, and my more than 800 imperial soldiers, as long as they increase their firepower, they will quickly wipe out the small strands of earth and eight roads in the village."

Only by eliminating the Tuba Road in Mohetan Village can the passage of Niangziguan Station be opened, and the train loaded with retired soldiers of the empire will soon arrive in Shijiazhuang. ”

"Roar." The devil Dazuo brandished his command knife and ordered: "Warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, you are about to return home, this is your last battle to leave China, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, you will make new achievements, in order to return to China as soon as possible, kill and give——。 ”
