Xiaoan Town.
Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town has entered the final tense stage.
It's just that the tenacity of the Japanese troops stationed in Xiao'an Town exceeded Li Yunlong's expectations.
The Broadsword Team did indeed break into the side entrance of Xiao'an Town, but was driven back by the Japanese with fierce artillery fire.
The Japanese squadron leader stationed in the city also transferred all the Japs from the gendarmerie. He even forced some young men in the city to hold guns and garrison at the city gate.
In addition, after receiving the order from his superiors to defend Xiaoan Town, the Japanese squadron leader even contacted some strongholds near Xiaoan Town and directly ordered them to abandon their strongholds and rush to Xiaoan Town for support.
Therefore, Li Yunlong had to allocate part of his small force to prevent the Japanese from entering Xiao'an Town.
Fortunately, nearby local troops rushed over to help, and Li Yunlong received new troops, and then he stabilized his position and continued to attack Xiao'an Town.
The offensive and defensive battle surrounding Xiao'an Town gradually became intense.
Not only the Japanese troops stationed in Xiaoan Town and the attacking Li Yunlong troops, but also the reinforcements and reinforcements surrounding Xiaoan Town, the situation on both sides became increasingly anxious.
In order to defend Xiaoan Town, the Japanese army continued to inject reinforcements.
Yoshio Shinozuka was so cunning. He immediately realized that the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on his Xiao'an Town was not necessarily a bad thing. If the situation in Xiao'an Town could continue to expand, he might be able to force the Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Japanese Army who were planning to carry out the attack to start a war. The final battle.
In fact, when fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the most troublesome thing for the Japanese was the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.
I won't fight you at all. If you can't fight, run away. If you can't fight, fight.
Even though the Japanese army knew very well that the Imperial Army was far more powerful than the Eighth Route Army, they still had no way to defeat the cunning Eighth Route Army.
If the Eighth Route Army could be forced to launch a decisive battle, the result would be different.
If we take advantage of the situation and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with the power of the victor, we may be able to directly disarm those capitulators and compromisers who were originally thinking of retreating and avoiding war.
That was Yoshio Shinozuka's most anticipated dream.
Therefore, at this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. On the one hand, he continued to increase the reinforcements to Xiaoan Town, dragging the Eighth Route Army to also inject more troops. On the other hand, he sent troops to deal with other units of the Eighth Route Army who took the opportunity to expand their raids.
It is under such a stalemate situation.
Yoshio Shinozuka gradually felt that he had a chance to win, while the Eighth Route Army headquarters gradually turned from joy to worry.
An unexpected incident occurred that neither party expected.
6:47 am.
Qu County, an important material and arms transportation hub for the Japanese army, was suddenly attacked by a cavalry unit.
Six-fifty sharp.
There was also a small combat force that secretly attacked the Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the city gate from within Qu County.
At the same time, a platoon of more than 20 puppet soldiers who were defending the top of the city gate rebelled collectively. They turned their guns around and aimed at the Japanese troops garrisoning the city gate, launching a surprise attack.
At around seven o'clock, the gate of Qu County was breached.
The cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army fought with the Japanese and puppet troops inside Qu County relying on the city gate.
At around 7:10, another cavalry unit appeared. With the support of the puppet troops in the city, they rushed through the side gate of Qu County, detoured to the back and side of the Japanese puppet troops who were fighting the Eighth Route Army cavalry in the city gate, and launched a surprise attack. , two cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army attacked from the front and back, and combined with the extremely fierce light machine gun firepower, defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in Qu County in one fell swoop.
Seven-fifteen.
The news that Qu County was breached by the Eighth Route Army cavalry spread like a tide throughout the area.
A shocking battle!
In Taiyuan City, Japanese Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, who prided himself on being as calm as a mountain, had a look of shock on his face after hearing the report from the communications unit. He stood up from his seat abruptly. He was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time. In one sentence.
At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, even the boss was a little dumbfounded when he received the news.
what's the situation?
Was Quxian, the transportation hub of the Japanese army, given away?
I heard it's still a cavalry unit?
Troops of the Eighth Route Army?
"Well done! Find out immediately which army did it. I want to take a closer look and see who is so capable that he stabbed Qu County in the butt right under the little devil's nose."
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander, who was still at a loss for what to do about the increasingly anxious situation in Xiao'an Town, couldn't help but take action after hearing the news.
"What a great Kong Jie! This kid's tactical command this time is really amazing. Even I was wrong about it!"
"The military value of Qu County is too important. If Qu County is lost like this, the little devils should panic. The reinforcements surrounding Xiao'an Town will definitely retreat without fighting!"
"With the passage of time, the passive situation that gradually formed in Xiao'an Town has finally been resolved. Not only that, with Qu County so lost, the Japanese were originally planning to divert the attention of Xiao'an Town to the attack force, but now they are afraid that they will have to He was attracted by the troops attacking Qu County."
"This undoubtedly creates an excellent opportunity for us to continue our disruptive operations."
The words were so true, but the political commissar was confused.
"Brigadier! Kong Jie, do you mean that this matter has something to do with Kong Jie? Why don't I understand what's going on?"
Why was it that as soon as Qu County was lost, the brigade commander immediately came to his senses and insisted that it was Kong Jie who did it?
The brigade commander laughed and said: "Political Commissar, let me ask you, what did Li Yunlong do to defeat Pingxiang?"
"It's a feint attack! They pretend to attack in the east, but they actually want to attack Xiao'an Town."
"Then why was Li Yunlong sent to attack Xiao'an Town?"
"Sent? Brigadier, I seem to understand a little bit. Are you saying that Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town was Kong Jie's idea, and it was actually just a part of the attack on Qu County?"
"Now it seems that it is indeed the case. We all saw it wrong. The attack on Pingxiang was a false move. The attack on Xiao'an Town seemed to be a real move, but in fact it was still a false move. Kong Jie's real purpose was to attack Qu County directly from Pingxiang. Breaking through with the center of Xiao'an Town, taking advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, they penetrated directly into Qu County, and then took advantage of Qu County's reinforcements to support Xiao'an Town and Heping Township. When the troops were empty, and the surrounding area was in chaos again, no one noticed. A sudden surprise attack on Qu County!"
"Don't forget that Kong Jie has a cavalry unit, and there are two cavalry companies."
"In addition, Qu County and the Independent Regiment are far apart. Although they are more than fifty kilometers apart, at the speed of the cavalry, they can actually arrive in more than an hour."
"Besides Kong Jie, I can't think of anyone else."
"This move is so beautiful, and the opportunity for the cavalry to take action is even more rare. When both of us focus on Pingxiang, Xiao'an Town and the Zhengtai Railway, who would have thought that such a cavalry team would suddenly attack fifty How about a sneak attack on Qu County after traveling many kilometers?"
"Don't say it's a Japanese, even we didn't expect it!"
The political commissar who came back to his senses also felt a little shocked.
"It's just, Brigadier, isn't it possible that this matter was Li Yunlong's idea?"
The brigade commander smiled brightly and said decisively: "If this was really Li Yunlong's idea, this guy wouldn't have attacked Xiao'an Town with all his strength. This time, Kong Jie is probably eating meat, and he, Li Yunlong, is drinking You have to take the blame for your fate."
"In any case, this battle in Qu County must be a remarkable feat of the independent regiment's cavalry company!"
