    The Japanese army¡¯s combat plan was quickly finalized. Their troops in Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding areas began to take trains south to support Anyang.

    The troops in Kaifeng are providing support to the Zhengzhou area.  The Japanese army in Zhengzhou deployed a brigade to support Xinxiang, which was under siege in the north.

    At this time, on the railway north of Xingtai, soldiers of the Independent Regiment were destroying the railway from Shijiazhuang to Xingtai.

    From this railway all the way south, their soldiers can support the Anyang area in about a day.  But now this railway line has been damaged in many places by the regular Eighth Route Army troops of the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

    Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others received an order from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to destroy this section of the Ping-Han Railway before noon today so that Japanese trains would not be able to reach Anyang and other areas smoothly.

    Political Commissar Zhao Gang looked at the rails that had been pried off section by section, and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, let's not throw away these rails randomly, take them all back, and bring them to our arsenal. How can we make them?"  We¡¯re short of bullets.¡±

    "Yes! Political Commissar!!"

    The soldiers shouted in agreement and continued to destroy the railway.

    Li Yunlong stood next to Zhao Gang, smoking a cigarette and holding his waist while looking at the busy soldiers.

    At this time, explosions and gunshots were heard in the distance.

    "Come on, Zhang Dabiao and the Jaap's troops are on fire. Tell the brothers to seize the time to destroy and prepare to retreat." Li Yunlong said, and he smoked the butt of the cigarette clean.

    At this time, five kilometers ahead, the Second Battalion led by Zhang Dabiao was already at war with the Japanese reinforcements.

    The Japanese army relied on the carriage of the train and fired continuously at the soldiers of the second battalion who were ambushing them.  However, at this time they were attacked from both sides, and Zhang Dabiao led a large number of soldiers, more than a thousand people.

    The total number of Japanese troops in this train was less than 800. After exchanging fire with Zhang Dabiao's troops for a while, they were able to huddle inside the carriage and no longer dared to poke their heads around.

    After half an hour of exchange of fire, Li Yunlong's voice came over the walkie-talkie.

    "I said, Zhang Dabiao, please withdraw. The railway here is almost destroyed."

    Hearing this voice, Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Captain, I am not bragging, Zhang Dabiao. If you had given the order half an hour later, I would have eaten all the little devils on the train."

    "Okay, stop bragging, we didn't even pull the cannon this time, why do you eat them?" Li Yunlong directly pointed out Zhang Dabiao.

    Zhang Dabiao didn¡¯t say much, he smiled and began to issue the order to retreat.

    The first batch of Japanese troops to set off from Shijiazhuang had the strength of an integrated brigade.  Several other brigades have to wait for the preparations to be completed before they can take the train and go to the front line for support.

    But not long after they set out, they encountered a section of the railway that had been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.  This made it impossible for their train to move forward at all, and it would take at least a day before the engineers could repair the railway.

    There was no other way, these Japanese troops could only choose to get off the train and walk to provide support.

    The Eighth Route Army troops taking action at this time were not only Li Yunlong's independent regiment, but also Ding Wei's new regiment. The entire Eighth Route Army troops in Hebei, Shandong, and Henan areas also took action.

    They may be a small team with only a few dozen people, or they may be a well-equipped and well-manned regular army.  But at this moment, they all started to get busy.

    However, they did not launch an attack on the Japanese army¡¯s strongholds and county towns, but on the Japanese army¡¯s transportation lines.

    Including laying mines on the highway, destroying the Japanese railways and bridges, and ambushing the Japanese reinforcements on the road as much as possible to slow down their support for Henan.

    To the Japanese army, these damn Eighth Route Army troops were like a swarm of buzzing flies. Although they would not kill them, they were still disturbing them.

    But just when you wanted to catch him, he buzzed back into the woods without any entanglement with you.

    At this time, in the urban area of ??Anyang, Yoshiaki Fujino, the captain of the 32nd Japanese Regiment, was pacing in the headquarters with great dissatisfaction.

    "Why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?" Fujino Yoshiaki asked.

    ¡°The railway from Xingtai to Anyang has been damaged.The enemy's sabotage originally supported our Xiaotian Brigade, but at this time, it was blocked by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Yujia Town.  They were attacking enemy positions and might not be able to reach them until night.  said his staff officer.

    But at this moment, a soldier hurried over and shouted: "Your Majesty, Captain, the enemy's vanguard has broken through our army's stronghold in Shuangji Town. The Noda Squadron stationed there was completely wiped out, and Major Noda also  Jade breaks into kernels.¡±

    Hearing this, Fujino Yoshiaki hurriedly walked to the map and found the location of Shuangji Town on it.

    "Ten miles! The enemy is less than ten miles away from the city of Anyang. They are armored forces advancing. In half an hour at most, the vanguard will be able to reach the foot of Anyang City. Order the third brigade outside the city to immediately enter a state of combat readiness. The enemy will be ready in half an hour.  After that, we may reach the front of their position." Fujino Yoshiaki shouted.

    "yes!!"

    Before he could run out of the headquarters, another soldier ran in and shouted: "No, another armored unit of the enemy penetrated from the flank of our army and bypassed our defensive position. At this time, it has already  From the east, shelling was launched on our city gate."

    As if to confirm what the soldier said, a muffled sound came from not far away.

    A tank gun shell accurately hit the Anyang East Gate, punching a big hole in it.

    However, the Japanese army did not dare to go out of the city to fight back at this time. They could only use mortars and small-caliber field guns to fight back against the armored troops on the city walls.

    The 1st Armored Division advanced at a terrifying speed. Almost without any pause, they completed the division and encirclement of the Japanese peripheral defense positions and defeated them one by one.  Then the main force and soldiers pointed directly at Anyang.

    As for Jiaozuo in the west, which is closer to Shanxi, it was directly attacked by a tank regiment of the 1st Armored Division more than half an hour ago.

    Liu Changlong, commander of the 1st Armored Division, stood on the tank and used binoculars to observe the Japanese troops on top of Anyang City at this time.

    The Japanese army has less than 2,000 troops in Anyang City.  Another thousand or so troops were gradually eliminated by them in the battle outside the city last night.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
