    The advance speed of the three armies was very fast, especially the North Route Army, the vanguard of the Third Field Division, broke through the two Japanese blockades in only three hours, and hit Potou Village, which is Luliang Mountain  At the junction with the central corridor, further forward is the flat Taiyuan Basin.

    It is no wonder that the advance of the team is so smooth. The vanguard of the third field division is an infantry regiment and two companies of the armored reconnaissance battalion. Ten Type 62 tanks, forty Type 63 armored vehicles, and dozens of eight-ton King  Under the impact of the steel arrows composed of armored vehicles, the Japanese army's blockade line was like paper - the 63-type armored vehicle and the 23mm cannon mounted on the eight-ton king can easily fill the brick-and-earth structure.  It was a hole, and then the infantry swarmed up, using high-explosive rockets or flamethrowers, to serve a steel barbecue meal to the Japanese and puppet soldiers inside.

    Even if you encounter a cement bunker, don¡¯t panic. Although the 85mm rifled gun equipped with the Type 62 tank is not a big killer, it is more than enough to deal with this kind of fortification.

    Those armored soldiers on the battlefield for the first time quickly filled the high-explosive armor-piercing shells into the barrel, then aimed and fired.  With the tremor of the muzzle, the fired shell hit the bunker after a few breaths, and the sharp tungsten alloy bullet easily chiseled a hole the size of a bowl on the outer wall, and drilled into it.  The high-efficiency explosives and fragments inside tore the Japanese and puppet soldiers inside to pieces.  It can be said to be a hit!

    Then the armored army swarmed up.  Using vehicle-mounted machine guns, machine cannons, and tracks, all the Japanese and puppet soldiers who had lost the cover of the bunkers were smashed into sieves and crushed into meatloaf, and then continued to rush forward.

    Under such a sharp attack, if the advancing speed is not fast, it would be called hell.

    The offensive of the Central Route Army can also be described as devastating. It took only one day for the three divisions advancing from east to west to break through the Japanese blockade in the Luliang Mountains and Taiyue Mountains and advance to the edge of the Linfen Valley.  Among them, the frontline troops for the fifth time took only two hours to capture the northwest barrier of Linfen Valley - Heilongguan Town.

    The three divisions are like three sharp knives, pointing directly at Linfen.

    Compared with the other two routes, the progress of the South Route Army commanded by Chen Geng was much slower. This was not because Chen Geng was incompetent, nor was it that the combat effectiveness of the South Route Army was low. In fact, their initial attack was quite smooth.  It took only two hours for the two regiments of the Tenth Field Division to capture Hejin County, where a Japanese squadron and five or six hundred puppet troops were stationed.

    However, when they continued to attack eastward, they encountered a big trouble-in Jishan County, in addition to the local garrison, there was also the 36th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army that had previously participated in the raids in southern Shanxi.

    Here I want to explain that the infantry regiments of the Japanese army are not the same as the regiment-level units in the Chinese army.  It is a brand-new organization established by the Japanese army to adapt to the situation in the Chinese battlefield. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the divisions of the Japanese army generally had two brigades, and each brigade had two regiments. Later, as the battlefield continued to expand, its strength gradually became  Insufficient Japanese troops changed many divisions into a three-unit system, and canceled the command level of brigades. However, in this way, coordination and invariance will inevitably occur in combat. In addition, the Japanese army is accustomed to dividing troops into two groups.  As mentioned above, the tactics of roundabout and combat encounters are carried out. Therefore, in addition to the division commander, there must be a commander. Therefore, the Japanese army established the infantry regiment, which is responsible for commanding the infantry regiment under the division. The commander is generally a major general.  military rank.

    What's more strange is that the designation of the infantry regiment is generally the same as that of the division.  Like this 36th Infantry Regiment is the infantry unit under the 36th Division.

    In other words, standing in front of Chen Geng and the others were three entire regiments and more than 11,000 devils.

    With more than 30,000 people, I want to take down the county where more than 10,000 Japanese troops are standing firm, let alone the Eighth Route Army. This has never happened in the entire Anti-Japanese War.

    However, Chen Geng, who loves to be the first in everything, just wants to be the first person.  And you must know that the current Eighth Route Army is not the beggar army of a year ago. It needs tanks and cannons, and cannons and cannons.  more than double that.

    Commanding two field divisions with such luxurious weapons and equipment, if he still can't destroy this infantry regiment that doesn't even have heavy artillery, then Chen Geng will have no face to continue leading troops to fight.

    So under his command, the Ninth and Tenth Field Divisions swooped towards Jishan County along the road, preparing to eat up the county town and the more than 10,000 devils inside.

    Of course the Japanese army would not wait to be beaten. After learning that a large group of Eighth Route Army was attacking them, the commander of the 36th Infantry Regiment, Sakuma Shengichi,Dang even led the two regiments out of the county seat and greeted the enemy.

    This is the urine nature of the Japanese army.  The Japanese army, who had been educated in Bushido spirit since childhood, never knew what defense was.  All generals and soldiers have only one understanding of tactics in their hearts: attack, crazy attack, and attack with tricks.  Offensive tactics such as roundabouts, left and right outflanking, and central breakthroughs make it a handy one. As for defensive tactics there is no such thing as frontal hard steel.

    In addition, in recent years, their opponent is the weak Chinese army, and it has often happened that a brigade or even a squadron can chase a division all over the mountain.  It is not uncommon for a few Japanese soldiers to occupy a county town of tens of thousands of people with rifles in hand.  And all this intensified their arrogance.

    During the pre-war mobilization, Sakuma Shengyi made a bold statement, saying that he would completely defeat the invading Eighth Route Army within two hours and capture the leading general alive.

    Coincidentally, Chen Geng thought so too.

    A battalion and a brigade of the vanguard troops of both sides met in Huayu Village, 40 miles northwest of Jishan County. As soon as the two armies met, they slammed into each other like two hammers.  However, it turns out that the hammers are also graded. Compared with the vanguard battalion, the Japanese army's hammers are obviously three-no products made by small workshops. As soon as the vanguard battalion fired light and heavy weapons, the Japanese army's brigade was immediately beaten up.  .  In less than half an hour, nearly 40% of the troops were lost.

    Seeing such a scene, the former battalion commander jumped up and down happily: ¡®It¡¯s fun, it¡¯s fun!  Little devil, I didn't expect you to have today, right?  Tell the machine gun company, let them continue to beat me hard.  Inform the company commanders to strengthen the attack and strive to resolve the battle within an hour.  "

    Immediately afterwards, the attack power of the vanguard battalion soared a lot here, and mortars of various calibers and recoilless guns also poured shells on the heads of the Japanese soldiers as desperately as if they didn't want money.  The muzzles of the Type 56 squad machine gun and the Type 67 general-purpose machine gun in the hands of the machine gunner were all red.

    However, just when Xiantouying was about to crush the Japanese brigade, their reinforcements arrived¡ªtwo brigades, nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers, rushed over howling, trying to use their best pig-rush tactics to crush the Japanese brigade in one fell swoop.  Branch of the Eighth Route Army.

    Just when the vanguard battalion was shrinking and preparing to defend against the enemy, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and shells rained down on the Japanese line, and then the loud bugle sounded, and the other two battalions of their regiment,  Killed from the left and right sides.

    As the two sides fought together again, the battle situation also escalated in an all-round way.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
