************************************************************************

In order to remove the target, Yang Tianfeng would rather spend more ammunition than try to minimize casualties.

The Jin orogenic cannon bombarded the largest Japanese. The positions built in a hurry could not withstand the destruction of shells. The flying soil was mixed with red flesh and blood. The Japanese were still struggling to support the grenade tank and light and heavy machine guns shot fiercely at the scattered line trying to approach.

The infantry temporarily stopped the attack. After a moment, more than 20 gelled **** were shot onto the Japanese positions by the 82 mortars.

The fire was burning, more brilliant and bright than the sunset that was sunk. The Japanese, who were splattered with gelled gasoline, screamed with heart-breaking screams, rolling on the ground, jumping on the ground, and among the fireworks, it was like a group of monsters dancing wildly.

"It's cruel." Ma Bingzhong held up a telescope, with a bandage wrapped around his head, and his military uniform was also ragged. He had not changed his habit of leading by example. He was only twenty-nine years old. In history, he died in Huaiyang for his bloody battle. He used his loyal bones to erect a monument of anti-Japanese national heroes in the water village of Xiangcheng County that was admired by future generations.

"But it's really his mother's pleasure." Ma Bingzhong let out a strange laugh with his throat, "Slaying the Japanese is like killing a dog. This battle is the most exciting time I have ever fought."

In the telescope's vision, desperate Japanese rushed out of the position, shooting and shouting, but were immediately torn to pieces by dense bullets.

"The brigade seat, the division seat ordered the cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield to rectify and rest. There were still Japanese soldiers in Anling to deal with it overnight." A messenger jumped off his horse and saluted.

Ma Bingzhong put down his telescope, looked at the burning Japanese in lingeringly, and waved his hand, "Exit the battlefield, leave this little Japanese to the Third Column to solve."

The sun completely sank into the horizon, and the night sky quickly enveloped the earth. The officers and soldiers of the Third Column began to encircle and annihilate the last remaining enemy.

As usual, a shell bombarded the tired and desperate Japanese.

Yoshimoto Eizuo hid in a crater, curled up like a poor dog. An explosion sounded beside him, deafening, shocking him to the point of being confused. He looked up confused and helplessly, and saw the "rain" brought by the explosion, with dirt, smoke, and metal fragments mixed in the air, which was suffocating.

Suddenly, a black object flew past. Out of instinct, Yoshimoto Eizusaki quickly avoided his head, and the object fell to the ground with a loud bang.

It was the remains of a steaming Japanese devil, a bare torso, no more limbs. ****, the neck and face were covered with blood by shrapnel, and it was completely distorted. Surprisingly, the mouth of this torso actually moaned, and used its guttural sound to make a sound like another world.

"Save me, I, I don't want to die." This is really hard to understand, but the wreck is indeed begging and mumbled.

Yoshimoto retreated in horror, almost hysterical. He pressed against the wall of the pit, fearing that he would encounter the remains of the torso like an evil ghost.

The dying torso began to cry, and Yoshimoto Ei's lips twitched, praying tremblingly. Perhaps in response to his prayer, the torso soon died.

Yoshimoto Eizaki also wanted to cry. He thought of his family in the island country, but he could never go back and would not even leave his bones.

Without giving Yoshimoto Ei too much sorrow, with the cover of night and shelling, the flying thunderbolt that shot grenades approached the Japanese's position and suddenly fired from three sides at a distance of less than 300 meters.

Hundreds of grenades were emitting blue smoke and fell like rain, rolling on the ground, bringing waves of crazy and frightened screams.

A black grenade fell from the sky, falling next to Yoshimoto Eizuki. Time seemed to have frozen. Yoshimoto stared blankly at the thing that was still rolling. A staff officer tried his best to grab the grenade. He just made a throwing gesture. A dazzling flash burst out, and the Japanese staff officer turned into a blood mist.

The flesh and blood smeared Yoshimoto Ei's face, but it was no longer important. A shrapnel cut through his throat. He tried to cover it with one hand in vain, but the foul blood flowing like a faucet that could not be locked. His eyes began to turn black, his thinking began to pause, and finally fell into boundless darkness.

The light and heavy machine guns roared, and the soldiers crawling near the Japanese positions shouted and launched a charge. Dozens of sock guns sprayed out dense lead-on-shock iron sand, smashing everything that was blocking in front of them.

…………

The final fixed-point clearance brought the casualties between the enemy and us closer, and barely fixed the casualties to one-to-one.

The battlefield has become silent, with only the craters everywhere, and the bodies waiting to be cleaned, showing the tragic nature of the war.

Yang Tianfeng quickly withdrew his gaze, turned around expressionlessly, and listened to the reports of several staff officers.

At dusk, the victory was decided. After soliciting Liu Chen's opinions, Yang Tianfeng sent a telegram to the 14th Brigade and the Second Brigade of the Jiang Detachment, liberating the Anling Town Defense Line and allowing the enemy to continue south along the main road.

This is another local retreat battle. The Japanese did not have heavy artillery, only two tanks, and the force was more than 1,000, so it would be much easier to attack them. The road has been destroyed and night fell. The enemy's movement will be very slow. In time, the troops can be allowed to maneuver again, encircle the enemy, and annihilate them in the north of Huaiyang City.

According to the combat characteristics of the Japanese, if the commander fails to rescue, his subordinates do not rescue, or the rescue is ineffective, he will be severely punished. What's more, the Japanese have the task of reinforcement and rescue Huaiyang!

Therefore, Yang Tianfeng believed that no matter whether the annihilated Japanese sent out a telegram for help or issued a warning that they were about to fall, the blockade of Anling Town was no longer of great significance.

After a brief rest and rectification, the first division of the cavalry division had already set out first, and as usual, they attacked on both wings, while the task of resisting the front was still undertaken by the Third Column.

"As long as this Japanese can't enter Huaiyang and are annihilated in the wild, Huaiyang will be within reach." Yang Tianfeng looked at the map and pointed his finger hard. "Huaiyang Guangfu not only has a sufficiently deep circling place in Hedong, but also a wedge was inserted between Kaifeng and Shangqiu. It is entirely possible that the battle situation in eastern Henan will undergo a major change."

"Don't worry, sir, my detachment will never let the Japanese see Huaiyang." Guo Songlin was ready to set off. He will independently command the second encirclement and annihilation battle, showing Yang Tianfeng's trust in him.

Yang Tianfeng nodded and reminded: "I have ordered the troops under Huaiyang City to launch a feint attack and force the Japanese army in Huaiyang to continue asking for help. Well, when you ambush, you should be careful of the poisonous gas bombs of the Japanese. The wind direction is the most critical. These animals dare to use any trick to die at the moment."

"Yes! The direction of the wind is the most critical. The troops that are in the limelight must be fully equipped." Guo Songlin stood at attention, but did not leave immediately, waiting for Yang Tianfeng's instructions.

"Plan is a plan. Although it is comprehensive, the battlefield situation is unpredictable, and you must also master it flexibly." Yang Tianfeng paused for a moment and showed an encouraging smile. "Don't be too nervous. Whether it is troops or firepower, our army has the advantage. Well, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news under Huaiyang City."

Guo Songlin saluted with a slight salute, condensed for a moment, turned around and strode away.

"There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals!" Ma Biao looked at Guo Songlin's back and said with emotion: "Under General Yang's guidance, this officer has already established the style of a famous general. When he surrounded the Japanese, the infantry he led arrived later, but the progress was not slow and the battle was very organized. He has already obtained the essence of General Yang's combat!"

Essence? The essence of me is to be prescient and take the lead step by step. Yang Tianfeng waved his hand humbly and said, "I really don't dare to take it if I get too much. That, brothers are going to arrange a siege under Huaiyang City, two brothers--"

"Go together!" Liu Chen looked at Ma Biao as he asked, and after receiving a positive response, he smiled and said, "It is the most difficult to overcome the tough problem. We all want to see General Yang's magic tricks!"

"There are no strange tricks? It's just a method my ancestors have used long ago." Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly and reached out to signal the two to leave first.

…………………

The tunnel operation, as the first step to break through the city wall, is the most effective tactic to enable the troops to quickly approach the city wall and reduce casualties. However, this tactic is not a new and original method in military history.

In China's military history, the first to use tunnel blasting was the Li Zicheng's uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, but the Taiping Army in the late Qing Dynasty truly carried forward this tactic and brought it to its extreme.

"Surrendering Jucheng is like lifting a piece of paper." Although the description is a bit exaggerated, famous towns such as Wuchang and Nanjing were indeed captured by tunnel blasting.

In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, there were also cases of tunnel blasting. Small-scale explosions of bunkers were also called "earth planes"; large-scale explosions of Songshan actually used tons of explosives.

Although tactics are not new, as long as they are concealed and sudden, they can still win unexpectedly. With the help of the power of modern explosives, they can achieve unexpected results. During the War of Liberation, famous cities and towns such as Jinan and Linyi were all broken through the city walls under tunnel blasting.

At night, Yang Tianfeng and others came to Huaiyang City, where there were two brigades of four detachments, and a cavalry regiment of more than 3,000 people besieging the city.

The officers and soldiers took turns to construct the construction and recruited thousands of people nearby. The spider-web-like trenches and tunnels had tightly surrounded Huaiyang City. The front point was only more than 70 meters away from the city wall, and the attack preparations were basically completed.

Using mountain cannons and war defense cannons to bombard the city walls is of course a tactic of breaking the city. But Yang Tianfeng felt that this was not easy, and it would make the Japanese army be prepared and increase the casualties after breaking the city.
