Miyamoto Jiujiumu had no plans to evacuate Yangquan, and he was even preparing to take advantage of the situation to counterattack Taiyuan. Naturally, he would not execute the order to completely destroy the Yangquan mining area.
Why destroy it? After I eliminate Xie Baoqing, won’t I need to continue mining?
This decision of Miyamoto Jiujiu made the soldiers of Xie Tian's mobile company very depressed.
Since Xie Tian started training to select pilots, each regiment began to take the opportunity to form its own mobile platoon. The soldiers who can be selected into the mobile platoon are naturally the best soldiers.
There is a precedent for Xie Tian's first formation of a mobile platoon. Everyone knows that as long as they can enter the mobile platoon, they are equivalent to entering the cadre preparatory class. Unexpectedly, Li Changshun, Ge Dazhuang and the others in the first batch of mobile platoons were the worst. Are all of them now battalion commanders? Some are now simply division commanders.
The one with the maneuvers in place is the rocket squad.
No matter what the purpose of the soldiers is to join the mobile platoon, their enthusiasm for training is unprecedentedly high. Each and every one of them wants to train themselves to death in order to get a spot as a mobile platoon soldier.
As Xie Tian's troops grew like a balloon, each division also established a mobile company, which was one level higher than the regiment-level mobile platoon. It was also easier to select soldiers. They were selected directly from the mobile platoons of each regiment, and the best ones were selected from a hundred. Choose the best.
After the establishment of the Tenth Theater, a theater mobile company was established at the same time. The soldiers of the theater mobile company were naturally selected from the mobile companies of each army division.
The soldiers of the mobile company in the theater are all the best soldiers among the best soldiers. Don't underestimate the more than one hundred of them. If they fight on the move, they will dare to challenge a Japanese regiment.
Before the war began, Duan Sihai, commander of the mobile company in the theater, secretly lurked into Yangquan with his mobile company soldiers. Xie Tian assigned Duan Sihai only one mission: to protect the Yangquan mining area by any means necessary. If he could still free up his hands, he could freely carry out beheading operations. , I want it as long as it is the head of an assistant officer or above.
Originally, Xie Tian was most worried that Miyamoto Kujiuki would destroy the Yangquan Mining Area. Taiyuan's steel plant and arsenal were in serious shortage of fuel. If the mining area was destroyed, it would inevitably affect the war situation in the entire Tenth War Zone.
As a result, Miyamoto Kujiumu had no intention of destroying the mining area at all, and even wanted to eat Xie Tian's 49th Army and take the opportunity to counterattack Taiyuan. Xie Tian's arrangement seemed a bit unnecessary.
Be careful, because if a little devil gets crazy and ignites the coal seam deep in the mine, it will be really troublesome.
Duan Sihai had already made a plan to blow up the mine mouth as a last resort, but Miyamoto Kujimu, who was so confident that he had no choice but to destroy the mine, even sent an additional group of Japanese soldiers to protect the mine from being destroyed by the Chinese army.
At this time, the battle outside the Yangquan Mining Area had already begun. Qin Fen followed Xie Tian's old battle routine and covered it with long-range artillery fire first.
However, this time the long-range artillery fire coverage was not a one-sided battle, and Miyamoto's arrogance was justified.
Miyamoto Kujugi now has three brigades in his hands. The two Category A brigades each have three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, an engineer regiment and a baggage regiment. This is the Fourteenth A coalition.
The Ishikawa brigade newly merged into the 20th Division is a Category C brigade with three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment and one engineering regiment.
In addition, the 20th Division also has an independent armored regiment, with twelve Type 97 tanks, six Type 94 tanks, and sixteen half-track armored personnel carriers. If you also count the scattered Type 94 vehicles in each brigade, Tanks, the 20th Division has more than twenty tanks alone. It is no wonder that Miyamoto has no confidence in retaking Taiyuan.
With the strength of twenty regiments and more than twenty tanks, such a powerful division can almost run rampant in China.
The only shortcoming is that Miyamoto Kujiumu now has no air support, otherwise he would have dared to lead his troops to Chongqing.
Miyamoto Jiujiumu knew that Xie Tian had a plane in his hands, but he was not too worried.
There are only two or three fighter jets in total. How many bombs can they carry? The full load of bullets is 1,400 rounds. How much damage can it cause to my division of more than 40,000 people?
Therefore, Qin Fen had just ordered the artillery battalion to fire, and only fired one round of artillery shells. He was immediately hit by a fierce counterattack by the Japanese army. The artillery shells fell like hail. If Zhu Yuan had not been calibrated to shoot Zhu Yuan, this round of shelling would have destroyed the artillery battalion. position.
Qin Fen hurriedly ordered the artillery battalion to move its position. It would be useless for our artillery to fight against the Japanese.
The artillery regiment led by Zhang Xingsheng was assigned to Chu Yunfei's 50th Army. If Zhang Xingsheng's artillery regiment was there, the situation might be different.
Chu Yunfei's 50th Army is also attacking Pingxing Pass, otherwise Qin Fen will definitely borrow Zhang Xingsheng's artillery regiment.
These rounds fired by the artillery battalion were like poking a Japanese hornet's nest. After three rounds of counterattacks, the tank troops of the 20th Division rushed out of the defensive position, and rushed towards the artillery battalion's position in a dark mass. It was like a mass of people's scalps. Paroxysms of tingling.
Qin Fen put down the telescope and grabbed the radio transmitter: "Chang Shun, the Japanese tanks have come out. What happens next is up to you."
Li Changshun's laughter came from the radio: "Commander Qin is talking nonsense. The tanks of the Japanese are all my tanks. Just tell the boys in the artillery camp to relax and scare the infantry behind. Don't take me." The tank was damaged."
Qin Fen was speechless: "Chang Shun, remember what the commander-in-chief said, despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically."
"Okay, okay, I've written it down. Okay, it's time for us to set off."
It is said that after the establishment of the 10th War Zone, the commanders of each regiment were promoted, and the last one was deputy division commander. Only Li Changshun, the commander of the Armored Infantry Regiment, remained unchanged. For this reason, this guy was in a mood for two days. As a result, Xie Tian stared at him and scolded him: "There are only a few tanks. It's useless for me to get you a tank division. If you don't think it's a fucking shame, I think it's embarrassing. Go ahead, figure it out yourself." Go and build tanks. As many tanks as you bring, I will give you an officer. If you build two hundred fucking tanks, I will set up a tank army for you."
Therefore, these twenty-odd tanks of the Japanese 20th Division have long been his in Li Changshun's eyes. Whether he can become the division commander depends on these tanks.
The Japanese armored regiment rushed to the People's Liberation Army artillery battalion position without any hindrance. The commander of the regiment, Yamashita Yukino, was half exposed outside the Type 97 tank. He commanded his men to seize the terrain and search for the enemy.
The fact that the People's Liberation Army's artillery fired a few shots and ran away did not surprise Yamashita Yukino. From the previous shelling, it can be seen that the People's Liberation Army's sneak attack artillery only had five guns.
Want to attack the Yangquan mining area with five cannons?
Yamashita Yukino couldn't help but laugh and wanted to run away. Since he was here, he should stay.
