    Lingqiu County, Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters.

    Major Noda, the captain of the Japanese garrison, felt a little restless after Takahashi and others left!

    At the beginning, he thought he was worried about the war situation in Donghenan Town, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not the case. Although he didn't know much about the situation in Donghenan Town, but from the current point of view, it was undoubtedly Tubal Road harassment.

    Although the opponent seems to have a lot of troops and even artillery, the defenses in Donghenan Town are not simple gun towers, but a group of fortifications consisting of three large gun towers, six small bunkers, plus communication ditches and trenches.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Even if the Imperial Japanese Army attacks on its own, it will be difficult to capture it without a field heavy artillery force.

    Besides, Takahashi¡¯s reinforcements are already on the way, so the situation there shouldn¡¯t be too bad.

    "Besides, Tubal Road has been harassing Lingqiu all these years. They have long been used to it. Noda Major really doesn't care about Tubal Road's attacks.

    The reason why he is uneasy is that Major Noda has been worried that the target of Tubal Road is not the small Donghenan Town, but the reinforcements sent to Donghenan Town.

    It¡¯s not the fault of Major Noda for being worried, but Tubal Road has a record of doing so in this regard!

    During the Hundred Regiments War last year, Tubal Road did the same thing. They took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese Imperial Army and suddenly launched a crazy attack on the Imperial Army in Laiyuan, Lingqiu and other places, resulting in a large number of Imperial Army casualties.  Strongholds were uprooted and road and rail lines destroyed.

    After receiving the first stage of attack, the Imperial Japanese Army had to increase its troops to various strongholds, build additional fortifications, and reserve grain and ammunition.

    But before the Imperial Japanese Army was ready, Tubal Road¡¯s second wave of attacks began!

    At that time, Tubal Road gathered three troops to organize the Lailing Battle!  After the battle began, its right wing launched a fierce attack on Laiyuan City and its surrounding strongholds.

    After a night of fierce fighting, the east, west and south passes were captured, and the imperial army retreated into the city.

    The 2nd Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region on Houtuba Road, with the cooperation of 1 battalion of the 1st Regiment and artillery, stormed Sanjia Village, an important stronghold on the Lai (Yuan) Yi (County) Highway 10 kilometers east of Laiyuan City, and most of the imperial army  Annihilated.  At the same time, the 3rd Regiment launched a fierce attack on the East Fort in the northeast of Laiyuan City, and quickly captured all the fortresses around the village, suppressing the remnant imperial army and holding on to several houses in the village.

    The defenders then burned all the weapons, supplies, and food stored in the stronghold in preparation for a breakout.

    However, the attacking troops once again attacked the Imperial Japanese Army from front to back. The remaining army had no hope of breaking through and threw fire bombs.

    Then, other units of the Tubal Road Right Wing and the 9th Regiment of the Hepingxi Army Division also launched frantically, including Taohuabao, Bailebao, Jijiazhuang, Xinzhuang, Beikou, Xiabitou, Baishikou, Zhongzhuang, Wangxidong, Liujia  Zui, Zhangjiayu, Beishifo, Jinjiajing and other 13 strongholds, forcing the Imperial Japanese Army to organize troops from Zhangjiakou and other places to reinforce the Laiyuan battlefield.

    At the end of September, the main force of the imperial army, more than 3,000 people, arrived in Laiyuan City in cars, under the cover of 20 tanks and 4 aircraft.

    Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the right wing of Tubal Road to carry out a favorable offensive. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was determined to transfer its offensive to the Lingqiu area. The first step was to sweep away the enemy strongholds between Lingqiu and Hunyuan, and the second step was to seize the main camp.  Enemy strongholds in the mountains from the southeast to Shentangbao and Daying and north of Shahe.

    ??Subsequently, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region ordered the main force of the right-wing regiment to assemble in the areas east and southeast of Laiyuan for consolidation. One group would monitor and contain the enemies in Laiyuan, and the 1st and 2nd regiments would be placed under the command of the left-wing regiment and join the left-wing regiment in combat.

    After learning about the situation, the imperial army immediately mobilized part of its main force to the Nanpotou area west of Lingqiu, preparing to launch a comprehensive sweep of Tubal Road in Lingqiu with Nanpotou and Lingqiu as the center.  Defeat them and restore stability in Lingqiu.

    However, no one expected that Tubal Road would set up a trap at this time, first dispatching troops to attack Donghenan Town, and lure the troops from Nanpotou to go for reinforcements.

    Subsequently, Tubal Road not only ambushed the Imperial Army reinforcements halfway, causing more than half of the 600 Imperial Army and 500 Imperial Alliance Army casualties, resulting in heavy losses.

    At the same time, the main force of the 1st Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region on Tubal Road took advantage of the Nanpotou imperial army's dispatch and launched an attack on Nanpotou. They attacked the Nanpotou stronghold in one fell swoop, annihilated most of the imperial army, and occupied Nanpotou.  head.

    The Battle of Lailing lasted for 18 days. The Imperial Japanese Army lost more than 2,000 people and more than 800 tons of supplies.

    After investigation, it was found that 49 people from the Imperial Japanese Army were captured in this battle alone, and 237 people from the Imperial Japanese Army were captured.

    And in order to cope with the Lailing Battle, the Jizhong Military Region was in the process of breaking the attack.At the same time as the Shi, Deshi, Beining, and Jinpu railways were built, the Battle of Ren (Qiu) River (Between) Dacheng (Cheng) Su (Ning) was also carried out.

    In this battle, the Central Hebei Military Region consisted of 10 battalions, including the 18th, 23rd, and 30th regiments, with a total of more than 8,500 people. They were organized into the left wing team, the central team, and the right wing team to enter this area to fight.

    After more than half a month of fighting, 805 people from the Imperial Army and 322 people from the Imperial Association Army were killed and wounded, 3 people from the Imperial Army and 326 people from the Imperial Association Army were captured, and 29 strongholds were captured.

    After this battle, the original independent mixed second brigade of the Laiyuan garrison was reprimanded by the front army headquarters. The brigade commander was transferred back to China, and the defense area was taken over by the Laiyuan garrison. It was at that time that Major Noda became the spiritual leader.  Qiu garrison captain.

    In order not to repeat the same mistakes, the new brigade commander Major General Inamura Shichiro specially organized officers above the captain to study in Laiyuan City for more than a month, specifically analyzing the combat methods of Tubal Road, among which the Battle of Lailing is a classic case.  .

    Major Noda didn¡¯t take today¡¯s incident seriously at first. He thought it was not much different from the previous harassment on Tuba Road. However, the more he thought about it after Takahashi and others left, the more he felt that something was wrong. This was exactly the same as the Battle of Lailing!

    After thinking about it again and again, the restless Noda Major immediately called his adjutant and inquired about the defense situation in the city.

    I wouldn¡¯t know if I didn¡¯t ask, but I was shocked when I asked!

    We learned from the adjutant that at this time, there was only a small group of the Imperial Army and one company of the Imperial Alliance Army left in Lingqiu City. The total number of all the troops was less than 200.

    After being shocked, Major Noda immediately asked where the other troops had gone. In his mind, after the departure of Takahashi Squadron, there should be at least one infantry squadron in the county that was not full of personnel.

    But the adjutant¡¯s answer made him furious. It turned out that one of his squadron leaders secretly led people to raid nearby villages in the afternoon!

    It is not a new thing among the troops stationed in the public security area to conduct private raids by the commanders of the troops under their command, but it is really rare to ignore the overall situation like this.

    Realizing the danger, Major Noda did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the troops to send out a communication unit to immediately search for Captain Yamada and the infantry team he had taken away. At the same time, he also asked the garrison headquarters to immediately call the garrison at the nearby stronghold and ask them to all  People immediately moved closer to the county seat.

    Compared to several small and medium-sized strongholds, Lingqiu County is the most important!

    Following Major Noda¡¯s order, although the Japanese and puppet troops in more than a dozen nearby strongholds could not figure out what was going on, they still obediently moved closer to the county seat.

    As soon as they returned to the city, Captain Gaoqiao returned to Lingqiu County with dozens of remnant soldiers!

    When Major Noda saw Takahashi and the others who were covered in blood and were in a state of embarrassment, he almost vomited blood!

    There were two hundred imperial troops and more than two hundred and fifty imperial alliance troops, but only fifty or sixty people came back. Is this no different from the annihilation of the entire army?

    The most important thing is that he also learned from Captain Takahashi that after Tubal Road annihilated their supporting soldiers, they did not count the results of the battle, but followed them, apparently preparing to attack Lingqiu.

    Before he could think of how to deal with this matter, there was a fierce exchange of fire outside the city
