    Chapter 525 Attack on Hebi

    The battle suddenly started. Facing the sudden attack, the unsuspecting Central Army soldiers resisted in vain. They screamed and fell to the muzzles or bayonets of the Japanese army. A large gap was opened in the defensive position in an instant, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed.  The Japanese soldiers advanced along the gap and attacked in depth like a tide. Only a small number of troops were left, responsible for clearing the remaining Chinese soldiers on the position and expanding the breakthrough for the follow-up troops. The eight Japanese tanks in the lead, spitting shells, roared straight towards Anyang  city.  (Baidu search,)

    As soon as the gunshots outside Anyang rang out, the ambush arranged by Xiaoshan in the city suddenly launched an attack. The defenses of the four city gates of Anyang were guarded by the trusted officers of the two division commanders. Usually they only worked hard to get money for the superiors.  The so-called vigilance is to act like it, eat good food and drink soju every day, and forget what you do.

    The Japanese army rushed into the barracks without much trouble. When the cold muzzles of the guns were pressed against their foreheads, these officers and soldiers of the Central Army realized that something was wrong. They stared blankly at the murderous Japanese soldiers.  Did people fall from the sky?  The Japanese commander who led the team had a cruel smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, he rushed two machine gunners and fired mercilessly at the soldiers of the Central Army.

    Bullets were flying everywhere. This was a naked massacre. The Central Army soldiers who woke up jumped up and ran towards their weapons. All this was a futile struggle. The machine guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers were spraying evil tongues of fire.  , turned this place into a slaughterhouse, the pungent smell of blood and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the room. The Japanese commander had his own logic. With less than thirty people, he controlled a company of Chinese soldiers, the best and most powerful.  The safe way is to turn these Chinese pigs into corpses.

    When Koyama Masao led two brigades of soldiers and rushed into Anyang City, the city was already in chaos. The sudden sound of gunshots woke up the residents in the city. The two division commanders got up from their beds in panic, trembling.  After listening to the report of his cronies, he immediately made a decision and ran away.

    After packing up the gold and silver, not caring about the new concubine, they took a dozen of their trusted aides and quickly left the west gate of Anyang. They judged very smartly that the Japanese must be going south, and they couldn't let them chase after them, so they left the west gate.  , and ran directly towards Lin County. They did not think about resisting at all, and even reminded the defenders of Hebi that they just wanted to leave this terrible place as soon as possible. As soldiers, their shameful behavior will definitely be punished by God.

    When the official ran away, the Central Army troops in the city immediately fell into a state of chaos without a leader. The soldiers spontaneously organized resistance. They were wolf-like opponents of the Japanese army. Anyang City soon fell into the hands of the Japanese army.  On the gate tower, the Japanese plaster flag was raised. Anyang City was captured so smoothly. The casualties of the troops were only more than ten, and more than 5,000 prisoners were captured. The success was beyond Masao Koyama's expectations.

    The Japanese captain suggested that the troops immediately deploy in the city to control the situation and provide the necessary safe environment for the follow-up troops. Xiaoshan glanced at his former boss with disdain and thought to himself, how did this guy climb to the position of captain?  The next words surprised the Japanese captain.

    "Everyone, we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, drive back the retreating Chinese soldiers, continue the attack, capture Hebi and Xinxiang, and go straight to Zhengzhou." The Japanese captain thought that Xiaoshan was crazy, so he occupied Youzhou with less than four thousand troops.  Anyang, defended by two central military divisions and more than 20,000 troops, has already achieved a great victory, taking advantage of the surprise and unprepared attack.

    Can the gunfire in Anyang not alert the Chinese defenders in Hebi?  There are two divisions. Doing so is tantamount to committing suicide. The Japanese captain put forward his opinions without reservation. He objected to Captain Xiaoshan's taking such a risk. He was making fun of the lives of the imperial soldiers. He relied on cleverness to win the brigade.  Xiao Shan, who the regiment leader admired and suddenly rose to a high position, also looked down upon. His opinion was also agreed by another Japanese captain.

    Koyama Masao laughed evilly, his eyes flashed coldly, and he reminded them unceremoniously that the brigade commander authorized me to command the vanguard. My determination is unwavering, and I will be responsible for any problems. Two of them, each of them will leave a squadron of soldiers.  , responsible for the order of Anyang City and welcoming the arrival of the main force of the brigade. The remaining troops, with tanks as the guide, will attack Hebi immediately. Execute

    After these tough words were spoken, the two Japanese captains looked at each other. This guy is simply a madman, but he holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand and has the authorization of the brigade commander. He can only accompany this madman on his adventure. Xiaoshan has him  His crazy idea was to use the strength of two brigades to attack Hebi, which was defended by two entire divisions. In normal times, even if Xiaoshan was doped up and possessed by the emperor, he would not have such courage.

    But now the situation is different. Behind him is the main force of the brigade and more than 90,000 imperial troops. They cannot be eaten by the Chinese army no matter what. This is a good opportunity and a step for him to rise to the top. Xiaoshan ordered the troops to go out immediately.With eight tanks as the lead, Katayama felt as if he was in a dream when he entered Anyang City.

    With more than ten casualties, we captured the northern gateway of Henan, which was heavily defended by Chinese troops. It took less than two hours. This guy Xiaoshan is so good. He looked around for Xiaoshan. I really wanted to hold him and take a few bites.  After expressing his appreciation for him, he asked the Japanese officers who stayed behind and found out that Xiaoshan had led less than two brigades of soldiers to attack Hebi.

    Katayama was also shocked and quickly climbed up the tower without even seeing the shadow of Koyama's troops. On the one hand, he was angry at Koyama's adventurous move, and on the other hand, he was impressed by Koyama's bravery. This guy was born to fight. Emperor  If the Japanese were like him, it would not be difficult to conquer China.

    Now that Xiaoshan has rushed towards Hebi, Katayama can't stand idly by. Moreover, he can't let his trusted general fight alone. He immediately commanded the main force of the brigade to pass through Anyang City, catching up with the Japanese troops in front, and also rushed towards Hebi, behind.  , there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops, but they did not stop in Anyang. They chased the Katashan brigade, tanks roared, footsteps were chaotic, and they rushed towards Hebi like a tide.

    In the words of Katayama when he later praised Koyama Masao, a major commander commanded more than 90,000 imperial soldiers. This was also a miracle in the military history of the empire.

    When Xiaoshan attacked the outer positions of Hebi, he hit a nail. Anyang's fierce gunfire was heard by the forward observation post of the 53rd Division. He immediately reported the situation to the division commander Liu Zhaoyu. Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaoyu heard a "bang" in his head, and there was a blow on his forehead.  Beads of sweat began to fall down immediately. The Japanese had indeed taken action in Anyang. He knew what kind of stuff the two divisions were defending there. Just them, they couldn't withstand it for even three hours.

    He immediately ordered the troops to enter the position. The well-trained soldiers of the 53rd Division quickly entered their combat positions according to the combat plan. Liu Zhaoyu picked up the phone again and informed Cao Guangtu of Xinxiang of the battle situation in Anyang.  He told the army commander that there was a war in Anyang.

    Then, he reported the situation to the neighboring 48th Division. After hearing what he said, the division commander Wang Guangpu sneered: "Commander Liu is overthinking. If there is a firefight between Anyang and the Japanese, the regiment headquarters has already issued an order. You and I, as  The most important thing for a soldier is to be calm and have a general's demeanor. Don't let the wind be the rain. There are two elite divisions." After saying that, Liu Zhaoyu hung up the phone without waiting for anything else.

    Wang Guangpu put down the phone and smiled disdainfully, "You, Liu Zhaoyu, are the only one who can fight, and the regiment commander didn't even make a move. Are you being ignored?"  He knew for sure that the two division commanders in Anyang were his close friends. They usually called themselves close friends because they had the same feelings for each other. They were both Tang Enbo's favorites. If the Japanese came in, how could they not tell me?

    Anyang's gunshots were also heard by his soldiers. The report came that Wang Guangpu was playing mahjong and had picked up a good deck of cards. His interest was disturbed. He was very angry and cursed the officer on duty. Then he ordered  Go to sleep, don't let other people work in poverty, the officer on duty was embarrassed, scolded, and felt angry in his heart, the division commander has spoken, why are we so busy?

    Wang Guangpu judged that it must be the men of those two guys who blocked the armed smuggling business gang and got into trouble. These two guys worked hard to make money. He thought with jealousy in his heart that Liu Zhaoyu had just put down the phone.  When the call comes, can he have a good tone?

    Over here, Liu Zhaoyu was holding the phone. He was stunned for a while, and then his heart became angry. Are you, Wang Guangpu, deaf?  The gunshots in Anyang can be heard in Hebi. Tell me what general demeanor you are talking about. Bah, you were just about to throw down the phone. Then I thought about it. The matter is important. Personal emotions cannot affect the overall situation.  Suppressing the anger in his heart, he called the headquarters of the 49th Division again.

    This time it was more straightforward. The officer on duty replied that the division commander had already taken a rest. If there is anything important, we will discuss it tomorrow. Liu Zhaoyu shouted angrily: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, wait for the Japanese to attack our door. You and I will lose our heads." Then  Bian simply hung up the phone. Liu Zhaoyu felt sad and remained silent for a long time. He grabbed the submachine gun and led the guard battalion directly to the position.

    When he rushed to the position, he could already hear the roar of tanks. In the night, with bright lights and snake eyes, Japanese tanks had appeared in his field of vision, followed by a large group of Japanese soldiers. Liu Zhaoyu groaned in pain, Anyang  It's over, it's been less than two hours, and the two divisions have collapsed like this?  Why didn't any of the defeated soldiers escape?  His heart was full of questions.

    Koyama Masao's actions were too sudden and fast. The Central Army of the two Anyang divisions were all blocked in the city. Except for some of them who were killed, the rest were made prisoners of the Japanese. The two division commanders were not good at fighting, so making money and escaping for their lives were the only options.  If you are a good player, run away quickly, otherwise you will become the first high-ranking Chinese general to be captured by the Japanese army since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

    The vanguard of Xiaoshan quickly advanced to Hebi Fifty.At the division's defense line, Liu Zhaoyu shouted: "Fire!" In an instant, a hail of bullets hit the Japanese army. The charging Japanese soldiers fell to pieces. This sudden head-on blow made Masao Koyama's head feel hot.  Remove the cold.
