Gangcun Ningci couldn't help frowning, and said with a dissatisfied face: "According to the situation detected by the imperial army, at present, the people of China are making every effort to transfer all kinds of machinery and equipment in Tangshan City, many of which can be converted to the production of arms and strategic materials, once they fall into the hands of the people, it will be very unfavorable for the imperial army."
So we must do everything we can to stop them and take Tangshan as soon as possible.Immediately order the 28th Division and the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade to speed up and rush to Yutian as soon as possible to assist the 27th Division in attacking Tangshan on both sides, and to seize Tangshan as soon as possible. ”"Hai" Hirata replied respectfully, and was about to turn away.At this time, Gangmura Ningji hurriedly stopped Hirata Masaju, frowned and said: "Send a telegram to the 22nd Wing, informing them that they must be cautious, this time the enemy we are facing is definitely not an ordinary Dirt Eight Road, let them not be careless." ”Gangcun Ningci's move was not only out of good intentions, but mainly because the 22nd Wing was here to assist their North China Dispatch Army after all, and if they suffered a heavy defeat, their North China Dispatch Army would not be able to escape responsibility."
Hai" Hirata replied respectfully, turned around and left Okamura Ninji's office.Outside Changli County, the commander of the 22nd Wing of the Japanese Army, Tajima Shuntaro Osa, held a telescope to observe the Changli County in the distance, and said with contempt: "A group of people who are on the road and dare to spread wild in front of the imperial army are simply beyond their own strength" Tajima Shuntaro has been serving in the Kwantung Army, stationed near Shanhaiguan, and his troops have also fought with the Eighth Route Army before, but those Eighth Route Army are only the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the vicinity, and against the well-equipped elite of the Japanese army, it is natural to lose more and win less.Therefore, in Tajima Shuntaro's view, the Eighth Route Army was nothing more than a group of peasants who had just laid down their hoes, but a group of rabble.Although the Eighth Route Army occupying Changli County in front of him was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Tajima Shuntaro did not take them seriously at all.At this time, a devil officer hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, General Gangcun Ningci, has sent a telegram to remind us to strengthen our vigilance and not to be careless. ”Tajima Shuntaro waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "I know, Commander Gangcun is inevitably making a little fuss, but it's just a bunch of dirt and roads, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Immediately replied to His Excellency the Commander of Ganggang Village, saying that our department would soon be able to take the county seat of Changli and completely annihilate this Tubalu. ”"Hai" The devil officer replied respectfully, turned and strode away.Tajima Shuntaro nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a serious face: "How are the preparations of the troops?"
"Report to Your Excellency Osa, all the troops are ready to attack at any time." ”A devil officer next to him replied with a respectful face."
Yo West" Tajima Shuntaro nodded with satisfaction, and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send orders to the troops, launch an attack, and take Changli County in one fell swoop." ”The devil officer replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Not long after, the Japanese artillery position resounded with rumbling cannonballs, and the dense shells smashed into the county seat of Changli like hailstones, and then there were bursts of deafening explosions.Yang Erhu took the guards and quickly ran into a two-story building on the side of the street, dusted off the soil on his body, frowned and scolded: "His grandmother's, the little devil's firepower is quite fierce" At this time, they could clearly feel that the ground trembled slightly because of the explosion, as if there was an earthquake.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran in and said with a respectful face: "Report to the brigade commander, the artillery battalion asks for instructions on whether to launch an artillery bombardment to suppress the devil's firepower." ”"Don't use the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, our artillery battalion may not be their opponent, good steel should be used on the blade, so that they are ready to fight at any time, and then we will teach this group of little devils who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a good lesson."
Yang Erhu shook his head and said."
Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.The two-story building where Yang Erhu is hiding is a reinforced concrete structure, which is extremely strong, and even if the general cannonball falls on the roof of the building, it cannot cause substantial damage to this small building at all, unless it is a heavy artillery, but it can be judged from the sound of the cannon, although the artillery fire of the devil is very fierce, but most of them are mortars and 92 infantry guns, and the largest caliber is only 75 mm mountain guns, and it seems that there are only two guns, so Yang Erhu is very safe for them to hide here.At this time, this small building has been transformed into a fortress by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and there is a platoon of soldiers stationed in the small building, once the little devils enter the city, this is their position, and they will use this small building to give the little devils great damage.Yang Erhu found a corner, sat down with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Let these little devils be arrogant for a while, and then Lao Tzu will clean them up later." ”At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him handed over a cigarette with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brigade commander, come one" "Here's one" Yang Erhu rubbed his hands and took the cigarette with a smile.While smoking, he chatted with the fighters.Soon a cigarette was finished, and Yang Erhu reluctantly threw the cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished the cigarette butt with his foot.At this time, Yang Erhu heard the sound of the artillery outside and gradually stopped, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Did you listen to the sound of the artillery outside?"
"It's really stopped, it is estimated that the little devil is going to attack," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army next to him said with a frown."
Communication soldier" Yang Erhu shouted loudly at the top of his voice."
To" The three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army ran over quickly."
Immediately send orders to all troops, prepare for battle, if the little devils dare to attack, give Lao Tzu a beating, let these little devils know that they know how powerful we are" Yang Erhu ordered loudly with a serious face."
Yes," the three messengers replied respectfully, turning and running out to deliver the order.Yang Erhu patted the soil on his buttocks, beckoned the guards over, waved his hand and said: "Go to the city wall with Lao Tzu to have a look, Lao Tzu wants to see how powerful these Kwantung Army are" Saying that, he hurriedly ran out with the guards and rushed towards the city gate.aa2705221:
