Chapter 65: The Shuozhou Massacre

Outside the county town of Shanyang, Zhang Yunfei, who was a few hundred meters away from the county town tower, was in front of the temporary command headquarters, observing the upcoming large-scale shelling of large-caliber howitzers.

Although it was daytime, everyone could still see dozens of shells in the sky, with a unique streamer, flying towards Shanyang County, and the scene was spectacular.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who saw this scene immediately cheered, and even Zhang Yunfei was smiling, looking forward to the upcoming shelling.

The little devil on the city tower, seeing the cheers of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army a few hundred meters away, couldn't help but look up at the sky, and when he saw a large number of cannonballs flying in, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly found a place to hide, or directly lay on the ground, trying to avoid the bombardment of the shells.

Immediately, more than a dozen shells hit the city tower, only a few shells were slightly out of the way and exploded near the city tower, and the remaining dozen shells hit the little devil's barracks and headquarters respectively.

The shells that hit the city tower made a violent explosion on the city tower, and the city wall, which looked very strong, was blown out of huge gaps in front of the 155-mm howitzers, like mud, and the city wall looked crumbling and could collapse at any time.

Most of the little devils on the city wall were blown to pieces.

After the little devil's barracks were hit by more than a dozen shells, the barracks of brick houses turned into pieces of rubble and ruins, and you can vaguely see large pits with a diameter of dozens of meters.

The headquarters of the little devil, after being hit by a few shells, several buildings also collapsed, and the officers of the Asada Wing who were inside did not know how many would survive.

Zhang Yunfei outside the city did not see the situation of the little devil's military camp and headquarters, but the spectacular scene of the city wall being bombed can still be seen clearly.

Less than two minutes after the first round of shelling, an even more intense shelling began, and under the "care" of dozens of heavy guns, the fortified city walls, which did not last long, collapsed with a bang.

Seeing that the city wall of Shanyang County had been blown down, as soon as the ten-minute shelling was over, Zhang Yunfei gave the order for all to charge.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, with an earth-shattering cry, rushed towards the city of Shanyang County like a tide.

The Asada Wing stationed in Shanyang County had at least more than 1,000 little devils killed in the shelling, and the remaining more than 1,000 little devils were vulnerable in front of tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army, and they were completely annihilated by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army after only slightly resisting for less than an hour.

Along the gap in the broken city wall, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by several brigade commanders and regiment commanders, slowly walked into Shanyang County.

Now that the battle has ended, the soldiers are busy cleaning up the battlefield, and the common people who used to close the doors and hide at home have also begun to take to the streets in twos and threes, and some even help the soldiers carry and bury the bodies of the little devils.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yunfei to come to the headquarters of the little devils, looking at the headquarters of the little devils all over the ground, there were blood stains and corpses everywhere, and the soldiers were busy cleaning up.

Zhang Yunfei walked to the middle of the little devil's headquarters, stood on the rubble, and his heart was full of emotion, he didn't expect to come out casually to practice and annihilate a wing of the little devil.

After casually turning around the county seat and leaving a regiment in Shanyang County, Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to quickly set off south, aiming at Shuozhou.

Naturally, there is a regiment left behind in the clean-up work in Shanyang County, and more than 2,000 soldiers are in charge, and the bodies of the little devils are dug and buried on the spot on the outskirts of the county, and the captured materials and equipment will also be transported back to Datong one after another.

The troops of tens of thousands of people were assembled in only an hour, and everyone meandered along the road leading to Shuozhou.

This time, the vanguard is the cavalry regiment, and now the cavalry regiment has more than 2,000 people, all equipped with AK-47 rifles and carrying 60 mm mortars.

In the evening, as the vanguard of the cavalry regiment, it arrived outside Shuozhou City, and unexpectedly, it did not encounter the little devil.

Sun Chuanzhi, the cavalry commander who led the team, was a little surprised, Shuozhou is a big city, and there should be more little devils stationed in Shanyang County than in Shanyang, not less.

Slowly approaching Shuozhou City, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment could vaguely see smoke rising from many places in the city, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

That's right, it's the smell of blood, as a veteran with many years of battlefield experience, Sun Chuanzhi can still easily smell the smell in the air.

Seeing this scene, Sun Chuanzhi hurriedly ordered the troops to prepare for battle, pay attention to vigilance, and quickly gallop towards the city.

Sun Chuanzhi, who entered the city, saw a miserable scene, the city was full of fires and smoke, some houses were burned to ruins, some houses were still burning with raging fires, and many ordinary people were busy fighting fires.

What is even worse is that the ground is littered with corpses, most of these people who were killed, most of them were shot, and there were many women and children inside.

It was obviously killed by the little devil, who must have heard that a large force of the Eighth Route Army was coming, and slaughtered the city before retreating.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the cavalry commander Sun Chuanzhi was full of heart, with tears in his eyes, and there was nowhere to vent his great emotions, holding the AK-47 rifle in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was facing the sky, and he was holding the trigger deadly, and the automatic rifle "da-da-da" was shooting hateful bullets into the sky at a rapid pace.

Sun Chuanzhi looked up to the sky with grief and indignation: "Little devil, I'll your grandma." ”

The other soldiers of the cavalry regiment also raised their heads to the sky and roared angrily, and fired the bullet from their rifles into the sky to see off the slain civilians.

After firing a magazine, Sun Chuanzhi said to the correspondent soldier beside him: "Order the troops, assemble immediately, pursue the little devils, I will skin these beasts alive without surnames." ”

The chief of staff next to him calmed down his sad and indignant mood a little, and said to Sun Chuanzhi: "Regiment commander, I think the little devil should go far away and can't catch up, not to mention that the task given to us by the division commander is to be the vanguard and be responsible for reconnaissance, not combat." ”

"All assemble, chase the little devils, do you hear me?" Sun Chuanzhi shouted loudly, "Even if I chase it to Taiyuan, I will also slaughter these beasts." ”

The helpless chief of staff had no choice but to pass on the order, ordering the troops to assemble immediately, pursue the little devil, and report the situation to the division commander by radio, saying that the cavalry regiment had arrived in Shuozhou, but the little devil killed a large number of unarmed civilians in Shuozhou, and all the soldiers of the cavalry regiment pursued the little devil south under the leadership of the regiment commander.

Sun Chuanzhi, the commander of the cavalry, took the lead and went out of the city to pursue south.

The soldiers of the cavalry regiment saw that their regiment commander took the lead in pursuing out of the city, and they hurriedly turned their horses' heads, followed behind Sun Chuanzhi, and a group of more than 2,000 horsemen chased towards Nanhao.

The sky has gradually darkened, fortunately, there is a highway to go, just chase along the highway, the little devil must also take the big road, the little devil can't take the small road.

Because of this, Sun Chuanzhi led the cavalry regiment to pursue the little devil, I hope the little devil didn't go far and could catch up.
