Tianhe County, the headquarters of the Japanese Gendarmerie.
Military police captain Sada received a call from General Yoshio Shinozuka of Taiyuan, asking him to immediately take the military police and puppet troops from Tianhe County to Wujiapo to support the Yamazaki Brigade at all costs.
After hanging up the phone, Sada immediately summoned the military police deputy captain Koizumi Heizo and the puppet army commander Wang Dashan.
"Boy, I just received a call from General Shinozuka Yoshio, asking us to gather troops as quickly as possible to Wujiapo to support the trapped Yamazaki Brigade."
There are currently more than 400 Japanese military police in Tianhe County and 1,200 puppet troops. Their weapons and equipment are simple and there are no heavy weapons.
Originally, there was only one puppet military camp in Tianhe County. Because the Japanese were preparing to launch a new round of raids recently, a puppet army was assembled in Tianhe County.
Koizumi Heisan said: "Since it is the general's order, let's quickly assemble the team and set off."
"Yo Xi, Mr. Xiaoquan, I have been in poor health recently. This time, you will lead the team and go to Wujiapo with Captain Wang to support me."
It's not that Sada really wants to hide, but that he has been playing in brothels in the county for more than ten days in a row recently, and his body has long been exhausted.
"Hayi!"
"Okay, Taijun!"
After receiving the order, Xiaoquan and Wang Dashan immediately went down to assemble their troops, and more than a thousand people headed to Wujiapo in a mighty manner.
…
On the other side, Lijiazhuang.
Compared with Tianhe County, Lijiazhuang is closer to Wujiapo.
After receiving orders from Yoshio Shinozuka, Captain Doi Madoka of the Japanese brigade stationed in Lijiazhuang also gathered his troops, leaving only four or five Japanese soldiers to continue to garrison Lijiazhuang, and then all rushed to Wujiapo.
There are only about 500 people in a Japanese brigade. Doi Yuan's troops are equipped with two heavy machine guns and four mortars, which can be considered well-equipped.
At this time, a Japanese cavalry squadron sixty kilometers away from Wujiapo also received an order to go to Wujiapo for support.
This Japanese cavalry squadron can be regarded as a reinforced squadron, with the number of cavalry reaching 350.
The Japs from three directions were using all their strength to quickly move towards Wujiapo.
What was originally a small annihilation battle in Wujiapo suddenly turned into a major battle in northwest Shanxi that affected the whole body.
…
On the outskirts of Lijiazhuang, the second and third battalions of the New First Regiment were waiting to ambush here.
The two battalions each have a strength of 900 troops, and the total number reaches more than 1,800 people, supported by a well-equipped reinforced regiment.
The second battalion commander is Deng Hu.
The commander of the third battalion is Qi Dongshui, who had previously surrendered and joined.
There are three mountains outside Lijiazhuang. If you want to go to Wujiapo, you must pass the only path at the foot of the mountains.
The Second Battalion and the Third Battalion divided their respective responsibilities and stood guard on both sides of the mountain, quietly waiting for the Japanese from Lijiazhuang to move out.
In the trench on the east side, the second battalion commander Deng Hu was observing the situation down the mountain with a telescope, then turned to the deputy battalion commander and said: "It's strange. It is said that the Japanese have received news of going to Wujiapo for support. This point should come out of Lijiazhuang." ah."
"Wait a little longer!" Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jun said with a smile: "Since the regiment commander sent us here, he must have a reason.
When has the regiment leader ever lied to anyone? He said our new regiment has cannons, and they will be available soon! "
"That's right, then keep guarding, and when the little devil comes out, let him see how powerful our second battalion is.
Let me tell you, when the fight starts, let the brothers fight harder so as not to lose to the third battalion commander on the opposite side. I can't afford to lose this person. "
"Battalion Commander, just take a look. Our second battalion has two heavy machine guns. I've made arrangements for them."
Hearing this, Deng Hu nodded with satisfaction, then took out his big tobacco bag and started smoking.
About twenty minutes later, the Japanese brigade stationed in Lijiazhuang finally slowly appeared on the road.
Dofeiyuan marched very cautiously. Seeing that the surrounding area was a perfect place for an ambush, he asked all the Japanese soldiers to raise their guns and shoot at the mountains on both sides while walking.
"Da da da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Facing the Japs' fire reconnaissance, all the soldiers hid their heads and tried their best to avoid it, but there were still a few soldiers who did not escape and were shot in the arms and shoulders.
In order not to affect the overall situation and were discovered by the Japanese, these soldiers gritted their teeth and endured the pain, lying on the spot motionless.
After some fire reconnaissance, Doi Yuan was relieved to let the large troops pass quickly.
With the sound of gunfire, Deng Hu immediately issued an order: "Everyone, prepare to fight!"
Soon, the fat and round Japanese army changed from a sprint to a fast trot, preparing to pass through this section of the trail quickly.
At this moment, the gun in Deng Hu's hand was already aimed at the machine gunner in the Japanese team.
"Phew, get closer..."
"Closer!"
"boom!"
There was a gunshot, and the Japs machine gunner was instantly shot in the head.
At the same time, it was also because of this gunshot that the ambush in Lijiazhuang began.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Da da da!"
"Don't save bullets for me, beat the son of a bitch for me."
"Our third battalion must not lose to the second battalion. If we lose, we will all go back and train for half a month."
The speaker was Qi Dongshui, the commander of the third battalion who was ambushing on the other side. As soon as he finished speaking, he blew off the head of another Japanese soldier.
Because of Qi Dongshui's words, the soldiers of the third battalion fought like crazy. The barrels of their machine guns were turned red from the beatings. They sprinkled urine and continued to fight.
No one wants to go back and practice for an extra half month!
The east and west sides launched attacks at the same time, and fierce artillery fire directly surrounded the Dofei Yuan Brigade. In just one face-to-face encounter, the Dofei Yuan Brigade had already lost one-third of its troops.
In this case, it is definitely impossible to retreat. Only by biting the bullet and continuing to push through can we have a chance of survival.
Madoka Doi directed the remaining Japanese soldiers and shouted: "Pass through quickly, don't fight, pass quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doi Yuan was shot in the head and fell in a pile of corpses on the spot.
Seeing that Tu Feiyuan was shot dead, the second battalion commander Deng Hu and the third battalion commander Qi Dongshui were stunned. They couldn't help but said in shock at the same time: "Who the hell killed my target!"
No one answered them, and what they heard was the continuous sound of gunfire.
Ten minutes later, only the corpses of the Japanese were left on the road.
At the same time that the Lijiazhuang ambush ended, the ambush in Tianhe County also started on the other side.
