"How can you rush over this ice and snow?" After Ueda Kenkichi received the order to support the Mongolian army, he couldn't help frowning and said secretly.

It snowed heavily, and it was simply delusional for the army to quickly cross the Mongolian steppes without railways.

The Russians could not guarantee transportation even if the Mongolian steppes were not so cold, and the snow would still be difficult to travel. Otherwise, the Kwantung Army would have sent people to support Zhangjiakou a long time ago.

The people in the base camp also knew about this situation, so they shouted vigorously, but there was no specific way. On the one hand, the 109th Division in Taiyuan sent the 69th Wing to support the onslaught on Yanmen Pass, and on the other hand, the Kwantung Army also extended a hand appropriately. After all, a wing of the Kwantung Army was still there.

As soon as they crossed Yehu Ridge, the tank units of the vanguard army began to exert their might, and the cold could not stop the T-34 tanks that had been tested by the north wind. The 38th Division soon approached the county seat of Zhangbei.

In the past few years, there were more than 1,000 households in Zhangbei, and most of them were merchants, and trade was prosperous. However, with the decline of Zhangku Avenue, known as the Northern Silk Road, and the invasion of Yue, the population of Zhangbei has gradually become scarce. In addition, the big war is imminent, and now a thousand people cannot be found.

"Hold on!" Kanji Toneoka, who was mixed into the 2nd Brigade of the Reading Power Regiment, shouted. There was no way back for him. Faced with the rapid pursuit of the tank units of the vanguard army, he was not sure of escaping.

At this time, the rest of the 2nd Brigade and the 32nd Wing of the 8th Division retreated in the small county town of Zhangbei, trying to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Hundreds of civilians in the city became the devil's shield, and although they would not blatantly hide behind the people, at least the artillery of the vanguard army lost most of its effect. It is not the first time that the vanguard army has also accepted this method of warfare. As long as the devils still abide by the rules, the vanguard army will not do much revenge, otherwise it will only be the common people who will suffer.

The vanguard army, who have all been trained in street fighting, is very familiar with this kind of battle in a small county town, but there are too many people who have no choice but to be devils. One wave died, and another wave rushed up against Suomi and started a tug-of-war with the vanguard army in this small county town.

Zhangbei is located outside the plug, the house buildings are exceptionally thick, the prosperity of commerce in the past few years has made a lot of brick and stone structures, even those embryonic houses can also stop bullets. The devils guarded the inner city, forming a dense defensive line in front of the four city gates. The vanguard army repeatedly failed to rush through, and the offensive was blocked.

"It's all demolished!" Li Jiusi, commander of the 38th Brigade of the 112th Division, ordered.

Zhangbei has only been prosperous for more than 20 years, and the four cross-arranged streets that follow out of the center are outside the city gate, but the city wall is not as difficult to attack as the thick walls of some old cities. When attacking, a few gaps had already been opened there, but the devils quickly blocked the fire at the gaps.

Under the roar of artillery, more openings were opened directly in the city walls. There are more people than the 38th Division, and the 38th Division that surrounded them is several times more than the devils.

The vanguard army quickly rushed into the gap, but was still blocked on the perimeter.

"Let's only attack the south, why are the devils brainless and not withdrawing? Can you go to Jining? Li Jiusi said anxiously.

It is said that he is desperate to send away, so that the loss of the vanguard army is not small.

"As soon as they withdrew, there was no cover for that. Besides, they can outrun the tank? Zhu Yuwen, chief of staff of the 38th Division, said with a smile, "Don't worry. Just push slowly, they can't wait for reinforcements. ”

In a large house with carved cloth paintings at the entrance of Zhangbei Center, the co-captains of the 32nd Wing, Yoshihei Noji and Kanji Tsuneoka, were arguing......

"We can retreat back and retreat to Chifeng." Noji Kahei is stubborn. Although the vanguard army was still on the periphery, they attacked fiercely. The 32nd Wing had trekked from Chifeng, and they were familiar with the way back.

"In the field, we are even more unable to resist the attack of the vanguard army." Kanji Tsuneoka had seen the tank attacks of the Vanguard. "We just need to hold on and wait for reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements? Where will there be reinforcements? Noji Kahei sneered. The Kwantung Army has already secretly come to instruct and wait for the army to withdraw. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stubborn. However, such instructions cannot be publicized as orders.

Toneoka Kanji was silent for a moment before he said, "Loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Noji Kahei was silent.

After a long time, Toneoka Kanji sighed: "Let's cover, you guys evacuate from the north while the night is blowing!" ”

By the time Noji Jiaping had sorted out his team, more than 500 people from the 32nd Wing had gathered around him to form the 2nd Brigade. After several times of resistance from the front, there are less than 3,000 people left in the 2nd Brigade of the Reading Power Mix, and more than 500 people have been transferred this time.

Noji Kahei also knew that this was Kanji Tsuneoka leaving some seeds for the 2nd Brigade of the Reading Power Mix.

He looked at the crossroads, and Toneoka Kanji's figure did not appear, and he was already determined to die. But Noji Kahei definitely didn't have any good fruit to eat when he went back. After this withdrawal, his position will definitely be lost, and he may even be tried. However, the soldiers under his command were able to escape, which can be regarded as leaving some vitality for the Eighth Division. It's not worth fighting hard for Zhangbei. Not all devils are stubborn, unless there is an order from above. Toneoka's rigid order did not restrict the 32nd Wing of different formations, and besides, there were already instructions from above.

"Let's go!" Nodi Jiaping looked at the falling night, and said without hesitation, and the soldiers of the team all walked out of the Dingyuan Gate in the north silently. There was still a war in the south, and the guns were constantly fighting, and they withdrew first, destroying the honor in their hearts.

Because of the early conflict between Soviet Russia and Yue himself last year, the headquarters of the Corps stationed in Mongolia was moved from Zhangjiakou to Guisui. After Zhangjiakou was occupied by the vanguard army, they stayed in Guisui all the time. At this time, stationed in the headquarters of the Mongolian Corps, "they could not withdraw." The chief of staff, Major General Shinichi Tanaka, took a telegram from Kanji Tsuneoka and said, "The tank units of the vanguard army have followed, and the defense of the city can still have a life." Withdraw from the city, fearing that you will be annihilated halfway. ”

"We can't help it!" Lieutenant General Liannuma, commander of the Mongolian Corps, sighed.

The two were speechless. Liang Jiu Lian Nuan Fan said: "Datong is in danger, and the vanguard army has come to the city of Datong. We need to come to the rescue. The 26th Division has already gone to the rescue, and Datong cannot afford to lose. ”

At this time, it was only the evening of the 28th, and there was still fighting outside Datong City.

"The personnel of other parts need to be transferred back to prevent the parachute attack of the vanguard army, and the main force of the 26th Division supports Datong, and there are not many people in Guisui City." Shinichi Tanaka suggested.

"Roar!"

"They're gone!" Zhang Zizhong, who received the evacuation of the 32nd Wing, was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Don't be in a hurry, let them walk a little longer first." Zhang Kexia also smiled.

The 2nd Brigade of the Reading Force mixed in the city was still on the defensive, but it could not stop the tank troops from passing around the city.

"There are planes in the sky? How bold are the pilots of the Vanguard Army, and they still run out at night? Noji Kahei heard the report from his men, and sure enough, there was the sound of an airplane engine in the air.

"Pass the order, don't raise an open fire! Check that there are no reflective things placed outside. Noji Kahei ordered. There is no moon tonight, and by the starlight, the planes in the sky cannot detect the team on the ground.

But he did not know that the high-altitude reconnaissance plane had not only radar, but also infrared detectors. Both the Germans and the Americans invented infrared detectors in World War II, which, although active, were also effective.

Meng Xiang directly installed the bulky ones on the reconnaissance plane, and the reconnaissance plane in the air actively emitted infrared scanning with infrared light, three or five people may not be able to find it, but there is still a large group that can't be detected? The 13th Division's experience in Xuzhou is proof of this.

"The plane overhead hasn't gone yet, did they spot us?" Nishiyukawa, who was next to him, asked.

"Absolutely impossible. Such a dark night, looking from a high altitude, no matter how good the eyes, if there is no fire, we can't distinguish from the surroundings. Noji said confidently, he had asked the pilots who had tested night flights before, that it was difficult for them to even land at close range, let alone reconnoitre.

As everyone knows, the reconnaissance planes in the sky have already mastered the whereabouts of the 32 Wing, and the 32 Wing on the ground still has no idea, and they do not know that the tank units that are following behind have surrounded them under the guidance of the reconnaissance planes.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the 113th Brigade of the Vanguard Army have formed a pocket with the tank troops. And more than 20 BT-7s have also made a detour and assaulted and blocked the front of Yue himself.

"Annihilation! We want to annihilate the 32nd Wing! Don't miss an enemy. Huang Weigang, who personally caught up in an armored car, ordered loudly.
