"Tell them, I don't care what the reason is. I'll give them two hours to get here.

"Hai."

Nanyun Shinichiro was really anxious.

The Eighth Route Army troops were dismantling the Japanese troops one by one. Although the Eighth Route Army's fighting style took a while, it was very effective. He didn't have enough heavy weapons and logistical supplies. He hadn't expected this to happen.

"General, our plane is here."

Chapter 253 Killing Nanyun Shinichiro 2

The Japanese army responded quickly.

This was especially true at the North China Front Army headquarters. Tada Shun was extremely worried after receiving the telegram that Nagumo Shinichirō had been ambushed by troops from the 8th Column. This was because, a few months earlier, the 8th Column had killed Tsuneoka Kanji, the Major General and Commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade. Tsuneoka Kanji's death on the battlefield by the Eighth Route Army had a significant negative impact.

Even the Chinese Expeditionary Force was reprimanded by the headquarters.

It wasn't the death of one general, but the fact that this general was killed during a raid on the Eighth Route Army base. This was something that even the headquarters couldn't accept. If you were on the front lines, fighting against hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops, the death of one or two generals would be understandable.

But how could they be attacked by the Eighth Route Army when they were sweeping the enemy lines?

Because at this time, the headquarters and the expeditionary forces directly combed the Mongolian troops from top to bottom. The North China Front Army was also reprimanded by the headquarters and the expeditionary forces.

If another brigade commander, rank major general, is killed in this sweep, the pressure on our side will be even greater.

So the air force was immediately ordered to take action.

Thanks to Tada Shun's order, the 8th Column ambushed Nanyun Shinichiro for just over two hours before Japanese planes arrived at the battlefield.

The Japanese were very happy to see the plane coming, because air supremacy was their advantage. Nanyun Shinichiro also had high hopes for the plane.

However, after the six planes circled the battlefield and stayed in the sky for a while, they did not attack the Eighth Column troops. Instead, they circled for a while, dropped some bombs on the mountain, and then flew away.

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun both felt relieved.

Their strategy proved effective. The Eighth Column divided the Japanese army into smaller units, resulting in the two sides becoming intertwined and intertwined over a distance of four or five miles. From above, it looked as if they were both within each other.

The accuracy of today's aircraft, whether bombing or strafing, is very poor.

It's not a missile launch.

With the Eighth Column and the Japanese troops now so intertwined, the Japanese planes certainly didn't dare bomb or strafe. If they did, who would be the target? So the Japanese planes circled for a while, and finally decided to drop bombs on the mountain.

Because there were indeed troops from the Eighth Column on the mountain.

Many Japanese officers and soldiers were in despair. They had hoped that Japanese aircraft would support them, but they came and left, which was worse than not coming at all.

First they gave hope, then the hope was shattered, which resulted in despair for the Japanese officers and soldiers.

"Commissar, we found a big fish."

"what?"

"Here, there are big fish here. Just now when the Japanese planes came, a man appeared here. It was a general.

"General?"

"Yes, it really is the general. He was hiding very well before, so we didn't notice him. But just now when the Japanese planes came over, he came out and was seen by our observers. There were two colonels with him."

"This location?"

"Correct."

"Okay, you guys continue to observe."

Wei Hongjun was overjoyed.

Wei Hongjun immediately understood what had happened. Among the Japanese troops ambushed by the Eighth Column this time was Nagumo Shinichirō, the Major General and Commander of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade. In the Independent Mixed Brigade, the only one holding the rank of General was their Major General.

This is a really big fish.

Wei Hongjun was naturally excited. So he immediately came to Wang Qiuyun's side. In order to prevent the Japanese army from making a surprise attack, a simple command post was set up on the battlefield. Wei Hongjun pulled Wang Qiuyun over and said, "Old Wang has caught a big fish. Major General Nanyun Shinichiro, the commander of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, is inside."

"Who?"

"Nangumo Shinichirō. Our observers saw it with their own eyes. Right here, there was a Japanese general and two Japanese colonels. Think about it, in this Japanese army, who else could hold the rank of general besides Nangumo Shinichirō?

"Yep."

Wang Qiuyun immediately used the telescope to observe where Nanyun Shinichiro was.

After observing for a while, Wang Qiuyun nodded and said, "This place is indeed a little different. Compared to other defensive positions, there are many more temporary huts here, probably to avoid our detection. Since it's Nanyun Shinichiro, he should have a lot of non-combatant mechanical personnel around him."

"Nanyun Shinichiro wants to take out the Black Tiger's heart and destroy our 8th Column headquarters. What do you think if we take him down first and paralyze the headquarters of the Japanese 15th Independent Mixed Brigade?"

"it is good."

Wang Qiuyun nodded.

After observing the situation on the battlefield, he said to Chen Zhonghe next to him, "Tell Chen Zuning to have the 25th Regiment concentrate a battalion. Gather the mortars, flat-fire cannons, and heavy machine guns in hand and take down this place first."

"Yes."

Although it was an ambush, it was not easy to achieve a complete victory.

Because the Japanese army was not a puppet army.

When the puppet army was ambushed, it was easy for the troops to collapse. However, after being ambushed, the Japanese army, although they suffered heavy casualties, were still able to organize a defense. If you want to destroy the Japanese army, you must destroy these Japanese defenses one by one.

More than three hours had passed since the ambush began.

The Japanese army also organized a breakout, but it was unsuccessful. The Eighth Column organized its troops to destroy the Japanese positions one by one.

"General, what should we do now?"

The plane flew away, dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

Nanyun Shinichiro was a little angry.

Nanyun Shinichiro immediately asked, "Where are the 79th and 80th Battalions?"

"We haven't broken through the Eighth Route Army's position yet."

"Baga! Send a telegram to the 76th Battalion, telling them to abandon Wanping and enter Shengxian. Send a telegram to Beiping, asking the headquarters to send more planes to support the 79th and 80th Battalions and break through the Eighth Route Army positions.

Nanyun Shinichiro can only hope that the 76th, 79th and 80th Battalions will come to rescue him.

Since planes are of little use on the battlefield here, they can go and bomb the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops. As long as the 79th and 80th Battalions break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking, then this war can be turned around.

"Yes."

"Bang-

"Da da da"

"boom"

As soon as Shinichiro Nanyun gave the order, there were gunshots and explosions outside.

Previously, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were far away, but this time they were right next to him. Nanyun Shinichiro immediately moved forward and discovered that the Eighth Route Army had organized troops to attack him. Nanyun Shinichiro had used a lot of camouflage to conceal that this was the headquarters. He also found a very good spot, a small high point.

Easy to defend and easy to hide.

I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would find me here in such a short time.

Nanyun Shinichiro was very nervous.

Because although this is the headquarters, in fact, Nanyun Shinichiro's side does not have many combat troops, and the weapons are ordinary, not even a heavy machine gun. There are only a few light machine guns deployed in the front.

But it doesn't work.

Although this place is a small high point, it has the advantage of being high above. However, the Eighth Route Army used mortars and flat-fire cannons, especially flat-fire cannons, which are very accurate. As long as the Japanese light machine guns opened fire, the flat-fire cannons could accurately find the target and destroy it.

As the front-line commander, Gao Peng deployed troops to attack.

He had fought many battles in the Iron Blood Anti-Japanese Army, but this was his first time fighting a war on this scale. There was a huge difference between a small-scale war and a large-scale war, and just how to coordinate with other troops was a big deal.

After playing for a while, Gao Peng discovered the problem.

The Japanese headquarters had a large number of personnel, but few were actually capable of combat. So, they immediately said, "Second and Third Companies will suppress the Japanese on both sides, while First Company will break through from the front. Pull over the mortars and Zheng-style shells, and provide cover with heavy machine guns."

Gao Peng was originally planning to take it slow.

But he found that the defense here was not as strong as the previous defense circles, so Gao Peng decided to speed up and break through from the front.

"Comrade Gao Peng is excellent, and his tactics are very methodical."

Wei Hongjun carefully observed the battle on the Japanese command side.

Gao Peng's reaction was excellent, and his tactics were executed with ease. Wang Qiuyun nodded. Putting down the binoculars, he said, "Nanyun Shinichiro can't escape.

It’s true.

Nanyun Shinichiro had about 120 people around him, but more than of them were civilians, and only a small group of Japanese soldiers were capable of fighting, and none of them had heavy machine guns.

The Eighth Column did not focus on attacking here before, so it was not noticed.

After the attack, it was discovered that the Japanese troops here were really weak. There was a big fish here, and the column concentrated a lot of mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns.

We must first deal with Nanyun Shinichiro.

After about twenty minutes of attack, Nanyun Shinichiro's defensive position was completely breached.

"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army troops are charging forward."

The command center was in chaos.

The civilians also resisted with guns, but they were civilians after all. In a few short moments, they were shattered by Gao Peng's troops. Nanyun Shinichiro watched the chaotic situation at headquarters with a deep sense of despair. He wanted to achieve great things, not die in such a cowardly way in China. Seeing the Eighth Route Army troops charging, he drew his saber and charged forward.

He wants to maintain his military dignity.

He rushed forward with a knife in his hand so viciously that the soldiers who had just entered the Japanese headquarters were startled. They subconsciously fired three shots, killing Nanyun Shinichiro on the spot.

The 15th Independent Mixed Brigade was a newly formed unit. Its first brigade commander, Shinichirō Nagumo, died in Sheng County.

Chapter 254: Ambush at Black Mountain Village

"Lao Lei, I think we need to divide our forces."

Zhang Zihua and Lei Jiabin, who led the 18th Battalion of the th Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion to break out to the outer line, are leading their troops to rest.

Zhang Zihua had a gloomy face.

Since the troops broke out in several directions, each had its own problems, and the situation was not good. The most troublesome was Zhang Zihua and Lei Jiabin's group. The main force jumped to the outer line, which was originally a set strategy. The 16th and 18th Regiments were still very strong.

Relying on his own strength, he broke through the Japanese blockade and jumped to the outside line.

But the Japanese army was also smart.
