Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

The chief of staff followed Wang Ye into the woods and looked at the equipment scattered all over the ground. He fell silent.

The chief of staff did not intend to delve into where these things came from, since they were all used by the Eighth Route Army.

Besides, if Wang Ye could say it, he would have said it long ago.

Each squadron had already arranged soldiers to receive the equipment, and as the soldiers got the hang of it, they were quickly equipped with the equipment.

The chief of staff touched the barrel of the 155mm howitzer, his hands shaking uncontrollably. What a great gun.

After receiving the weapons, the independent brigade continued to advance towards Pingxian, with the reconnaissance squadron and tank squadron leading the way.

When encountering Japanese checkpoints and artillery towers, the tanks bombed them without saying a word.

At 2 p.m., the independent battalion was close to the county town. In the headquarters of the 20th Division, Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke, who had been depressed for half a day, suddenly received a telegram.

The two looked at the telegram in their hands, speechless for a moment.

The telegram said that a troop driving tanks and trucks came out of Luanyun Mountain and headed towards the county town.

The person who sent the telegram didn't know much about military equipment. He thought it was his own unit, so he didn't take it seriously and just sent a routine message.

When Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke saw the contents of the telegram, their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Let's see what the telegram said. There were 45 tanks, 12 heavy artillery pieces, unknown rocket launchers, and an endless number of armored vehicles and trucks.

This is totally the blitzkrieg force of the Italian country. How could China possibly build such a force?

Fujiwara Nakayoshi said in a trembling voice, "Uchida-kun, how about we ..."

"Bagayaru, Fujiwara-kun, you are the Imperial Lieutenant General, the commander of the 20th Division of the Imperial Field Division.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, we should resist to the end. Are you ready to retreat before the battle even begins?"

Uchida Ginnosuke was older than Fujiwara Nakayoshi and had experienced more battles.

"Then what should we do?"

Uchida had no better idea, so he sighed and said, "Call for help!"

"Ask for help?" Fujiwara Nakayoshi's lifeless expression finally changed a little. "Do you know what you are saying?"

Teng Yuan Zhongji's expression became more and more strange. "The closest unit to Ping County is the Zhengtai Road garrison, but their strength is not as good as ours.

The only place that could possibly save us is Yuncheng, east of Zhengtai Road, where the 40th Division is stationed.

But considering the distance between Yuncheng and Pingxian, they can only collect our bodies when they come.

Oh, I almost forgot that the enemy has heavy artillery, and our bodies might be turned into minced meat, unrecognizable!"

Uchida Ginnosuke helplessly picked up the phone and called the commander of Taiyuan, and then reported the situation here to the Chief of Staff of the First Army, Tanaka Yoshinori.

When Tanaka Yoshinori received the report from Uchida, he almost thought he was joking, but Uchida Ginnosuke's explanation was,

"Mr. Chief of Staff, a force that can wipe out an entire field brigade of the Empire in half an hour should be this kind of force, right?"

Tanaka Yoshinori was awakened by Uchida's calm words. He put down the phone and ran to Yuzuka Yoshio's office.

"Commander Yuzuka, the 20th Division Chief of Staff Uchida Ginnosuke reported to me that the troops from Shizuka who destroyed the 39th Brigade have come out of Luanyun Mountain.

They are about to reach Pingxian County, and they are requesting support!"

Yuzuka Yoshio was still sad about the destruction of the 39th Brigade, and he shouted angrily,

"Ping County was the headquarters of the 20th Division. Fujiwara no Nakayoshi stayed there for more than a year. The entire county was a military fortress.

Could it be that with tens of thousands of troops under his command, he still couldn't resist the attack of the Tubalu?"

Tanaka Yoshinori handed over the recorded information in his hand, "The Tubalu has heavy artillery, tanks, and rocket launchers. The entire force is full of trucks and armored vehicles.

This force is even stronger than the German-equipped division we encountered in Songhu. They need support!"

After reading the record, Yoshio Yuzuka looked at Tanaka deeply, as if to confirm whether what he said was true.

Then he immediately ran to the command room.

Tanaka Yoshinori followed him in and heard Yuzuka Yoshio yelling.

"Order the railway garrison troops east of Pingxian to support Pingxian as quickly as possible.

Order the 40th Division to approach Pingxian via the railway.

Order the 5th and 9th brigades of Taiyuan to rush to Pingxian by train.

Order the 4th Brigade in the Pingan area to attack the Pingyang area.

Order the 36th Division to rush from Lincheng to Taiyuan. If the battle in Pingxian goes badly, they must rush there as soon as possible.

Order all Taiyuan flight groups to set off to ensure the safety of the periphery of Ping County!"

Under the order of Tsuka Yoshio, in addition to the 37th Division stationed in Yuncheng, southwest Shanxi, and the 104th Division stationed in southeast Shanxi,

All the Japanese devils in the entire Shanxi Province were mobilized.

This movement made all the forces realize that something big had happened in Shanxi Province. The Eighth Route Army was still okay, but the battle plan of the independent brigade was on the boss's desk.

After receiving reports from intelligence personnel from various places, the headquarters immediately issued a combat order, requiring the Eighth Route Army, guerrillas, and militia in Shanxi Province to stop the Japanese invaders as soon as possible.

No matter how fast they run, it's a good thing to cause them trouble.

Yan Laoxi, who was hiding in the Lumeng Mountain area in western Shanxi, felt his forehead throbbing violently when he saw the intelligence sent from below.

"My Commander Yang, what's going on? Why did the devil suddenly go crazy?"

Yang Qiyuan, the commander of the 36th Army Group of the Jinsui Army and the deputy commander of the Second War Zone, was the second-in-command of the Jinsui Army. He was also confused at this moment.

It doesn't make sense. In the entire Shanxi Province, apart from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, who else can mobilize so many Japanese soldiers?

"Commander-in-Chief, the specific situation is still unclear, but the direction of the Japanese movement is towards Ping County in northern Shanxi, where the Japanese 20th Division is stationed. Is someone attacking Ping County by force?"

After Yang Qiyuan finished speaking, he shook his head. This possibility was almost non-existent.

After being driven to the Lumeng Mountain area by the Japanese, Yan Laoxi became a weakling. Although he named the place where he stayed Jingnanpo,

But as long as the Japanese didn't attack him, he would rather the Japanese pretended he didn't exist.

Yan Laoxi thought for a long time and said, "Qiyuan, do you think it is possible that the Japanese are heading for Suiyuan?"

Yang Qiyuan was shocked. He really didn't think of Suiyuan, because this was Shanxi Province. If the target was Suiyuan, it should be the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.

When the two and the staff of the headquarters were at a loss, the intelligence department came in to report.

"Commander-in-chief, there is news from northern Shanxi that the Eighth Route Army's Northern Shanxi Independent Battalion wiped out the 20th Regiment of the 39th Brigade of the 78th Division of the Japanese invaders south of Jing County yesterday.

This morning, we completely wiped out the Japanese 39th Brigade and the 77th Regiment at Luanyun Pass, the border between Jingxian and Heping.

Now the independent brigade has crossed Luanyun Mountain and is about to reach Pingxian County!"
