    "Boom boom boom"

    Dozens of grenades exploded at the same time, and their power was enough to collapse the low mud walls in front of them!

    After a burst of dust, several sections of the school wall collapsed, and the galloping horses took this opportunity to rush in through the gap.

    This simple line of defense is the last resort of Takahashi Asaburo's troops. In their opinion, this simple line of defense is enough to deal with the national army's cavalry!

    It's not that they are too confident, but because they know that all the troops coming this time are cavalry. As we all know, the cavalry's attack power mainly comes from the sharp impact. As long as the impact of the cavalry is contained, the cavalry's combat effectiveness will be the greatest.  At least it should drop by half.

    In addition, cavalry generally does not carry mortars and heavy machine guns. Except for a small number of light machine guns, cavalry troops basically do not have the ability to strategically suppress.

    Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Asaburo Takahashi hurriedly pieced together this line of defense.

    ¡°But Asaburo Takahashi never imagined that this line of defense would collapse so quickly.

    The blade penetrates into the bones, and the blood is flying.

    Bayonets and sabers intersected, and human bodies collided with horse bodies.

    The clang of swords clashing, the roar of war horses, screams, roars, violent explosions and fierce gunshots not far away played a death march in the land of Xuzhuang Town, a land where wronged souls roam.

    Six to seven hundred cavalry vs. more than a hundred infantry, the outcome is already determined!

    Even if there is no uprising on the battlefield by the puppet troops, Zhou Zhiwei's cavalry alone can easily wipe out all these Japanese soldiers. What's more, now that there is internal strife between the Japanese and puppet troops, the entire battlefield will be a one-sided massacre!

    Facing the powerful offensive of the First Column Cavalry Brigade, all Japanese resistance was in vain.  Twenty minutes later, of all the Japanese soldiers, only Asaburo Takahashi and about ten people were hiding in a classroom to resist, and the rest were all turned into corpses.

    Zhou Zhiwei and others saw that another classroom was filled with the corpses of massacred people, and they were so angry that they immediately ordered the Japanese infantry artillery to be fired at the small classroom.

    In a violent explosion, the classroom and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers inside were all turned into rubble.

    Zhou Zhiwei knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately left some supplies of the Japanese and puppet troops to the people in the town, allowing them to use the food and money to rebuild their homes. The troops escorted more than 200 puppet prisoners and a large number of weapons and ammunition to evacuate.  to Xuzhuang Town.

    Back to Zhang Tengjiao, after the death of Shinozuka Kunigoro, the Japanese army fell into a siege by the national army.

    Under the personal leadership of Zhang Tengjiao, the guard's shell guns showed their power. The Japanese troops in the encirclement circle rushed left and right, but they were still unable to break out. Their destruction was a foregone conclusion.

    At 3:30 in the morning on October 31, the nine-hour battle finally ended. Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s troops wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them, killing more than 3,000 people under Shinozuka Kunigoro.

    And just two hours after the battle ended, reinforcements sent from Zaozhuang arrived belatedly!

    But by this time the battle was over, and there was nothing they could do about it. They could only collect the remains of the fallen Japanese soldiers in mourning.

    When Hy¨­taro Kimura in Zaozhuang learned that Shinozuka Kunigoro and the entire 212th Regiment under his command were broken, he was completely stunned. He did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army would be so strong. Yesterday afternoon, he also received a message from Shinozuka.  In the telegram sent by Kunigoro himself, Shinozuka Kunigoro also said that although the situation of the battle is not very clear, the Imperial Japanese Army has the advantage overall, and the support/that person can only passively defend.

    In particular, Shinozuka Kunigoro also said that although they are not sure of annihilating each other, it should not be a problem to defeat the enemy in front of them.

    However, it only took a short time for the Shinozuka unit to be devoured by the opponent. Even Kunigoro, a guy with excellent tactical command skills, was not spared. This made Kimura Hyoutarou fall into self-doubt.

    At the same time, the angry Lieutenant General Kimura also scolded Major General Shigeyoshi Mizuhara, commander of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, who was responsible for reinforcing the Shanting front line, accusing them of failing to rescue and delaying the fighter plane.

    In this regard, Mizuhara Shigei expressed dissatisfaction!

    It's really not their fault for this. Originally, the mission of their seventh brigade was not to reinforce Shantei. It was Kimura Hyoutarou who transferred the troops to reinforce Shantei to the eastern battlefield and temporarily ordered the troops in the direction of Huimin.  The 7th Duhun Brigade reinforces Shanting.

    After receiving the combat order from Hy¨­taro Kimura, Major General Shigeyoshi Mizuhara ordered his four infantry brigades plus a small number of technical troops to rush to Shanting.

      As soon as the troops arrived in Teng County, they received new orders. The fighting on the front line of Xuzhuang Town was tense. The commander of the Kimura Division ordered them to rush to the front line of Xuzhuang Town immediately to cooperate with Shinozuka Kunigoro's troops to defeat the Chinese army facing them.

    However, what makes Suwon Shigei and others feel helpless is that the distance from Teng County to Shanting is actually not far, less than 100 kilometers in total. At normal marching speed, it can be reached in one day at most.

    However, what they did not expect was that when they came out of Teng County, they discovered that the road leading to Shanting County had been dug up and destroyed by the Chinese army. Many bridges were bombed and the road was almost interrupted.

    In desperation, the troops could only advance on foot, leaving all their cars, a large amount of supplies, and even large-caliber artillery in Teng County.

    Not only were the troops marching slowly along this way, but they were also vulnerable to being attacked by the Chinese army. Although the opponent was not the main force, at most it was only a small group of ten or twenty people fighting, but it caused them a lot of damage.  Not a small problem.

    Because of this, not only did the reinforcements arrive one day later than expected, but after arriving, all the officers and soldiers were as tired as dead dogs.

    Even Mizuhara Shigeyoshi was a little lucky. Fortunately, the battle was over. Otherwise, how could tired soldiers like them join the battle immediately?

    ¡°Looking at the thick smoke billowing in Xuzhuang Town and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, Major General Shigei Suwon¡¯s heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

    At this time, besides feeling sad and angry, he was also more surprised!

    The 7th Independent Mixed Brigade is a new unit that was formed at the beginning of this year. Suwon Shigei was only a senior counselor at the base camp before and had no experience fighting the Chinese army. His understanding of the Chinese army was limited to various situations on the Chinese battlefield.  Battle report, nothing else.

    Especially after the troops arrived on the Chinese battlefield, he and his troops have been stationed on the Huimin line, which is close to Jinan. There are few Chinese troops here, and even the Tubal Road is weak. Therefore, Suwon Shigei  I have always felt that the Chinese military is all the same and completely vulnerable.

    However, the scene in front of him really shocked him. The corpses of hundreds of imperial soldiers were lined up several hundred meters long.

    In addition, cars are still transporting corpses to the town. It is said that on the main battlefield not far away, there are more imperial troops killed and injured.

    This was the first time Mizuhara Shigei saw so many corpses, and they were the corpses of imperial soldiers. Not to mention how shocked he felt.

    Because he did not understand the situation and the troops left almost all the baggage in Teng County, Suwon Shigei did not immediately order the troops to attack. Instead, he stationed in Xuzhuang Town as soon as possible and then sent a report to Zaozhuang and Jinan.  , requesting instructions!

    However, at this time, the Twelfth Army Headquarters was determined to deal with the troops, and immediately ordered the independent mixed seventh brigade to attack northeastward immediately. The Chinese army in front of them must be defeated, and the Shinozuka Regiment must be defeated.  Revenge.

    Although Mizuhara Shigei was not very happy in his heart, he had no choice but to count the main forces and head towards the Kuaizi Mountain battlefield not far away due to the heavy military orders.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
