Chapter 92 The First Battle of Jinsui Army
The first update today, please recommend and collect.
....................................
The Japanese on the top of the city waited anxiously for several hours, and the cavalry on the opposite side was not in a hurry to attack. At noon, the cavalry on the opposite side even started to make fire and cook.
He was so arrogant that he did not take thousands of Japanese devils seriously. The Japanese captain was so angry that his face turned pale. He almost ordered the city gate to open, lead the troops out of the city, and fight a good fight with the cavalry on the opposite side.
The Japanese waited for more than an hour, and the cavalry opposite had already finished their meal. From a distance, the ghosts on the city wall could see the cavalry in the distance, burping, and their faces were full of comfort.
Just when the Japanese captain almost collapsed, a large number of Jinsui Army infantry in blue uniforms appeared in the distance. At first, he thought that his eyes were dazzled, put down his telescope, rubbed his dry eyes with his hands, and held the telescope back to look into the distance. Yes, a large number of Jinsui Army infantry appeared, with at least tens of thousands of people.
The Japanese captain, who was so scared that his face was pale, quickly got off the city wall and hurriedly ran to the command center. The first thing he did when he entered the command center was to pick up the phone on the table and report military information to his superiors.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, tens of thousands of Jinsui troops had all reached Huozhou, surrounding the small Huozhou. The captain of the little ghost who had just climbed up the city tower was so scared that he stood there. He climbed down the city tower in panic and returned to the command center to ask for help.
Shanxi, Taiyuan
At the command of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front Army, the commander Yoshio Kozuka was wearing a bandage on his chest. The competition a few days ago not only made the Japanese look look ruined, but also scared Yoshio Kozuka and almost killed his life.
Just as Yoshio Kozuka sat in the office in a depressed mood, a Japanese communication soldier shouted outside the office: "Report to the Commander, there is an emergency military situation."
"Please come in", Yoshio Kozuka shouted impatiently outside the office door.
A Japanese communication soldier hurriedly walked in with a telegram, handed the telegram respectfully to Yoshio Kozuka with both hands, and then said: "Huozhou's urgent telegram is that an hour ago, tens of thousands of Jinsui troops surrounded Huozhou. It seems that he is going to attack the city. Huozhou is out of protection day and night, and Huozhou requests tactical guidance."
Yoshio Kozuka took the telegram and threw it on the table. He was in a very bad mood. He was stabbed by Zhang Yunfei a few days ago. Today, Yan Xishan ran out to join in the fun again and mobilized tens of thousands of troops. Is he going to fight Taiyuan? This Yan Laoxi seems to be too naive. Taiyuan is currently stationed in the elite 14th Division. Once there is a major war in Taiyuan, several divisions in North China can follow the Zhengtai Road and reach Taiyuan within two days. If Yan Laoxi wants to fight Taiyuan with his tens of thousands of Jinsui troops, it is really an old birthday star who eats arsenic and has a long life. Yoshio Kozuka thought of it.
Feeling that tens of thousands of Jinsui troops were not worth worrying, Yoshio Kozuka was in a better mood, so he quickly ordered the First Infantry Brigade of the 14th Division to go south and join the Muto Regiment stationed in Pingyao to resist the enemy south of Pingyao.
The Japanese correspondent soldier who received the order quickly stood at attention, bowed his head and shouted "Hi", before turning around and leaving Yoshio Kozuka's office.
Huozhou
The Japanese stationed in Huozhou saw that they were surrounded and looked desperate. Some even took out photos of their relatives who were placed close to each other. They slowly looked like they began to miss their wives, children, brothers and parents far away in Japan.
The Jinsui army opposite ignored the Japanese and began to arrange troops in an orderly manner according to the plan. The dozens of 70-mm mountain cannons they carried were also building artillery positions three or four kilometers away from Huozhou.
At 4:00 p.m., as a dazzling signal flare dragged a series of white light into the sky, dozens of 70-mm mountain cannons from the Shanxi Sui Army began to roar, firing rounds of shells at Huozhou City in the distance.
In less than ten minutes, the solid gate of Huozhou City was blown open, and several walls were also collapsed, with a gap of more than ten meters long. As soon as the ten-minute shelling ended, tens of thousands of Jinsui troops rushed towards Huozhou hundreds of meters away in a shocking shout.
Although more than a thousand Japanese soldiers stationed in Huozhou City made tenacious resistance, the number of people was too different. After killing and injuring hundreds of Jinsui troops, all the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers were broken, less than an hour from the shelling to the end of the battle.
After the Battle of Huozhou City, tens of thousands of Jinsui troops did not stop, but immediately drove to Pingyao, which was heavily guarded by the heavy army.
The next morning, a few thousand vanguard troops of the Shanxi Sui Army reached the southern suburbs of Pingyao. At this time, the First Infantry Brigade of the 14th Division, which was set out from Taiyuan, had just reached Pingyao.
The Japanese devils, relying on their well-equipped and well-trained, did not take the opposite Jinsui Army seriously, but instead sent an infantry corps to attack the vanguard of the Jinsui Army under the cover of cannons.
The vanguard of the Jinsui Army, which had thousands of people, had to defend on the spot to resist the Japanese's crazy attack. The battle started for more than an hour, and thousands of people were killed or killed. Fortunately, the subsequent troops arrived and implemented artillery fire suppression and counter-charge on the Japanese, and the Japanese's first wave of attacks were defeated.
At this time, both the offense and defense stopped and began to build fortifications to fight a frontal field battle. The Japanese commander was on the front line, holding a telescope and looking at the Jinsui army tens of thousands of times opposite him, and also put down his contempt and looked solemn. It seemed that what was waiting for was a fierce battle.
From the telescope, there were too many people on the opposite side of the Jinsui army, and there were only tens of thousands of people but they could not see it, but at least tens of thousands of people. The Japanese commander quickly ordered the troops to strengthen their defense.
If the Japanese did not attack, the Jinsui Army would not attack even more. At the beginning, they negotiated with Zhang Yunfei that the Jinsui Army was only responsible for feinting attacks and cutting off the Zhengtai Road and blocking the Japanese reinforcements from North China.
So the two sides were in a stalemate, but soon, a telegram from Yan Xishan was sent to the commander of the front line of the Jinsui Army, asking the Jinsui Army to divide the troops and leave half of the troops, that is, more than 30,000 people to restrain the Japanese army here, and the remaining half of the troops bypass Pingyao and go north to cut off the Zhengtai Road to prevent the little ghosts from North China from reinforcement of Shanxi.
Don’t look at Yan Xishan far away in Linfen, but you know all the movements of the Jinsui Army on the battlefield. Yan Xishan had just telegrammed with Zhang Yunfei. According to Zhang Yunfei’s suggestion, half of the Jinsui Army was separated and headed north along the Zhengtai Railway.
The Jinsui Army, who received the order, immediately distributed half of its troops, quietly bypassed Pingyao, and headed north quickly. However, the Japanese army in Pingyao still knew nothing and thought that the Jinsui Army had only more than 30,000 people.
Seeing that the Jinsui army opposite was not in a hurry to attack, Pingyao's little ghost finally started the attack after waiting for two hours, and a vigorous large-scale battle began.
