The sun sets over the west mountain and night falls!
According to Li Guoyao's order, his two infantry regiments plus three cavalry regiments, as well as a large number of directly affiliated troops, took action quickly.
According to the battle plan formulated in advance, the headquarters will dispatch a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment to jointly attack Jingxing County. At the same time, an infantry regiment will be dispatched to attack the Jingxing Coal Mine.
The remaining troops were divided into attacking Xiulin, Tianchang, Nanyu and towns along Niangziguan. The stations and bridges controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops along the line were all within the attack range of Li Guoyao's troops.
Anyway, this time Li Guoyao had 15,000 troops, but the distance from Niangziguan to Jingxing County was only 35 kilometers, and there were cavalry on his behalf, so the combat distance was no problem at all.
And just when Li Guoyao and others started to take action, Zhang Shaolin's troops had already launched an attack in Pingshan County, north of the railway line.
According to the independent brigade¡¯s combat plan, they first sent a battalion to Huishe Town and immediately launched an attack.
After receiving the report, the Japanese garrison captain in Pingshan County immediately sent troops to reinforce back to She Town. As a result, the troops were ambushed by Zhou Qiang's troops halfway, and a squadron and a half of Japanese troops plus a battalion of puppet troops were completely wiped out.
After consuming the Japanese reinforcements, the regiment and battalion defeated Huishe Town, and then directly marched to Pingshan County with the main force and surrounded the county town.
After being shocked, the Japanese troops in Pingshan County immediately called the Japanese troops in Shimen for help!
After learning that Pingshan County was under siege by Tubal Road, Mamoru Iinuma, the commander of the Japanese 110th Division stationed in Shimen, did not dare to neglect. He immediately transferred an infantry brigade from his troops stationed in Shimen and rushed there by car. Pingshan County.
In addition, two infantry squadrons were mobilized from the defenders of Luquan and rushed to Pingshan together!
The movements of the Japanese army were among the supervisors of Li Guoyao's department. The Sixth Special Service Group sent capable forces to Shimen, Luquan and other places before the troops started taking action to closely monitor every move of the Japanese army.
After the Japanese military reinforcements were dispatched, the Sixth Special Service Group reported the situation to the military headquarters!
After receiving the report from the intelligence personnel, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to start rushing towards the predetermined battlefield!
The night is very quiet and a bit cold!
It is already very cold in the north in early October. Since winter clothes have not been issued yet, many people will feel very cold when marching at night.
The officers and soldiers of the national army are like this, and the little devils are also like this!
Since the time for the little devils to issue winter clothes is mid-November, they have no cotton-padded clothes to wear now, and the little devils are reluctant to go out at night.
The gates of Jingxing County were closed early, and the Japanese checkpoints outside the city were also removed. All Japanese and puppet troops huddled around the bonfire at the entrance of the city, and no one went out to patrol. The overall defense of Jingxing County was Relatively lax.
At eleven o¡¯clock in the evening, just as the Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive in Pingshan County, the Second Regiment and the First Regiment of the Cavalry Group belonging to the Independent Brigade arrived in Jingxing County.
Since they didn¡¯t encounter any Japs along the way, they almost marched straight in and came directly to the city.
When the little Japs on the city gate noticed something unusual, Li Guoyao's troops had already arrived outside the city, and then an offensive battle began.
At the same time, the 3rd Regiment of the Independent Brigade commanded by Han Liquan launched simultaneous attacks on the old Gangtou Mine and the new Dongwangshe Mine of Jingxing Coal Mine. With the help of the miners, the 1st Battalion quickly invaded the new mine, annihilated an enemy guard team, and left the enemy in hiding. Enter the bunker and defend it.
"But in front of Li Guoyao's troops, a solid bunker is no place to save life. In front of heartless artillery, no bunker can withstand a heavy bombardment. If it can, then another one will be fired.
Less than an hour after the battle started, the two important coal mines mentioned above were completely occupied by the national army, and a squadron of defenders was completely wiped out.
¡°Then the national army advanced towards the entire mining area. All Japanese-owned coal mines were captured wherever they passed, and the defenders and thugs hired by Japanese business owners were all annihilated.
In less than five hours, the entire Jingxing Mining Area was completely captured by Han Liquan's troops. A total of more than 1,100 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated, more than 800 Japanese ronin were killed, and more than 5,000 miners were rescued.
¡°Subsequently, under Han Liquan¡¯s order, the soldiers cooperated with the rescued miners to blow up all the important buildings and mine caves in the mining area, and removed most of the materials, making it impossible to resume production in a short time.
Then the troops also captured the Japanese strongholds of Jiazhuang and Nanzheng.?The railway between Nanzheng and Weishui was destroyed.
At the same time, the 2nd Regiment commanded by Lin Li, with the cooperation of the First Regiment of the Cavalry Group, captured Jingxing County and annihilated more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops.
On the western front, the Second Regiment of the Cavalry Group, with the cooperation of the directly affiliated artillery battalion, captured the fortress at the east end of the Fulule Ridge Iron Bridge, covered the engineers to blow up a section of the iron bridge, and once occupied the Japanese stronghold in Caizhuang.
The first unit of the regiment's third battalion invaded Nanyu, annihilated most of the defenders, and covered the engineers to destroy the Nanyu stone bridge.
The third regiment of the cavalry group attacked Niangziguan, accompanied by a machine battalion and an engineer company!
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when the troops arrived at Niangziguan. After arriving at the ground, the regiment leader Wu Yunqiqige immediately commanded the troops to go into battle.
Since the Japanese army had already received an order to strengthen their alert before, and Niangziguan had indeed been attacked by the Eighth Route Army before, the Japanese army here was more vigilant.
Therefore, this sneak attack by the national army did not work. The little devils noticed the anomaly before they arrived at Niangziguan, reported the situation to the nearby Yangquan defenders, and requested assistance.
The Japanese independent mixed 9th Brigade was stationed in Yangquan. The original independent mixed 4th Brigade was wiped out by Li Guoyao on the Yangcheng line. Afterwards, the First Army Headquarters transferred the 9th Brigade originally stationed in Taiyuan to Yangquan. .
After receiving the telegram from the Niangziguan defenders asking for reinforcements, we immediately dispatched troops to the Niangziguan front line for reinforcements!
There is no other way. If we don¡¯t send reinforcements, we will inevitably end up in the same situation as last August. We have to be on guard!
Shimen. Headquarters of the Japanese 110th Division.
The situation from Niangziguan to Jingxing County turned into chaos overnight, and the most nervous one was naturally the 110th Division.
When he learned that Jingxing County, Jingxing Coal Mine and other places were suddenly attacked by large forces of the Eighth Route Army, and that the iron bridge was also blown up, Fang Zishan's first reaction was to be fooled.
In the Battle of Pingshan County, almost all the mobile troops from Luquan to Shimen were mobilized. Now that the battle on the Jingxing front was about to begin, Iinuma Mamoru found that he only had a thousand troops at his disposal, and the number to deal with could be tens of thousands. Tuba Road, the possibility is slim.
More importantly, the current connection between Shimen and Niangziguan, Jingxing County and Luquan is also intermittent, and the railways and bridges have been damaged.
Subsequently, all telephone calls were blocked, and communication was maintained only by radio.
In desperation, Iinuma Mamoru could only order the independent mixed 8th Brigade stationed in Luquan to immediately gather troops, and then reinforce Jingxing County at all costs.
At the same time, reinforcements to Pingshan County were given up, and the main force immediately went south.
After doing this, Iinuma Mamoru was still a little uneasy. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to order the captain of the 32nd Independent Infantry Battalion stationed in Zhao County to lead four infantry squadrons to urgently reinforce Jingxing.
At the same time, about 10 squadrons of troops directly under the brigade and armored trains set out from Shimen in the early morning of the 5th to go westward to reinforce Jingxing.
However, due to the need to repair the damaged railways along the way and remove the mines planted by the "Eighth Route Army", they did not arrive at the battlefield until Li Guoyao's troops withdrew from the battlefield. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
