Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 352: Operations on the Southern Front (1)

Yin Xinjun launched the southern front campaign with two goals:

One is to wait for an opportunity to indirectly support the First Army active in South Manchuria.

The second is to constantly mobilize the punitive forces to consume Iimura!

So after taking down Dashitou Town, in addition to the main force immediately withdrawing,

Liu Aiwu was ordered to lead the fifth team to advance southward overnight and arrived near Jiangyuan Town, south of Dunhua!

In order to strengthen the attack power of Liu Aiwu's troops, Tang Yantian also provided five tanks from the armored unit to Liu Aiwu!

Although the Fifth Division left, it did not affect the attack power of the southern front troops at all.

Because Ma Shun's army is expanding rapidly now,

As Kang Huaifu's number one general, Ma Shun has been in Dunhua for more than half a year. When he first arrived, he brought four companies, each with about 4 people!

Now, with the massive support of supplies and equipment from Yin Xinjun, his troops have expanded to 6 companies, with 150 people in each company!

It means that he has formed a new group in Dunhua!

It's finally dawn!

Upon learning that the Chengbei Airport had been destroyed, 14 aircraft had been lost, and two squadrons had been annihilated in Dashitou Town,

Iimura Tsuyoshi was furious!

If he doesn't fight back, it is estimated that none of his division commanders will respect him anymore!

He immediately ordered the withdrawal of parts of the 11th and 38th Divisions from Jiaohe, Antu and Dunhua, and together with the puppet troops, they rushed towards the Guandi Town area in the north with murderous intent!

From Guandi Town to the north, it now belongs to the base!

Including this town, Wang Hao's 1st Team 1st Company and a district squad under Mei Ping are now stationed there!

The captain of the district team is Li Dongzhen. Although this place belongs to Dunhua geographically, Mei Ping started working in Dunhua in the position of secretary of the Ning'an County Party Committee!

Therefore, the local organizations here are also under the unified jurisdiction of Mei Ping.

Later, seeing that Mei Ping was handling her job with ease, Mudanjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Huang Lei simply appointed Mei Ping as Dunhua County Party Committee Secretary at the same time. It was a legend that a woman served as secretary of two county parties at the same time!

However, everyone understands that behind Mei Ping is not Huang Lei, but Yan Wang who backs her up, providing her with all the money and food and full support!

At noon, Li Dongzhen was having lunch at his home in the town.

He was originally a primary school teacher in the town and also an active revolutionary against the Japanese!

After Guandi Town was liberated, Li Dongzhen immediately joined the revolutionary ranks!

There was a rapid knock at the door.

Li Dongzhen opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Zhang, the county's traffic officer.

"Captain Li, hurry up, the devils are gathering and planning to massacre Guandi Town today!"

"A bloodbath in Guandi Town?"

"Well, I'm going back!"

Li Dongzhen hurriedly grabbed Xiao Zhang's arm and took a pancake from the house.

He also picked up some shredded potatoes and pork from the plate and handed it to Xiao Zhang.

"Take it with you on the way, it's the pancakes my sister-in-law made!"

"Thank you, Captain Li!"

Xiao Zhang went back in a hurry, as he still had to notify several villages!

Li Dongzhen didn't care to continue eating. He ran to the company headquarters in a hurry.

"Captain Yan, the Japanese are coming! They are planning to massacre Guandi Town!"

The company commander Yan Zhen frowned when he heard this.

"When?"

"They are leaving soon. The courier came to report that they are planning a night attack tonight!"

Yan Zhen slammed the table and shouted angrily,

"Communicator! Ride your motorcycle to Tangjiawaizi and report to Captain Wang that the Japanese are planning to massacre Guandi Town tonight!"

"Yes!"

A young soldier rushed out of the company headquarters. Outside the door, a roar was heard and the sound of a motorcycle gradually faded away!

"Oh, Captain Li, please tell Mayor Lu to evacuate the people immediately!"

"Yes!"

Yan Zhen also informed the four platoon leaders in the company of the situation and asked the soldiers to prepare for battle immediately!

Here in Guandi Town, Yan Town was only occupied on New Year's Eve, and the terrain here is flat and there is no strategic location to defend. Squad leader Wang Hao specifically requested that the first company be stationed here to guard against the enemy!

Time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

On the road south of Guandi Town,

More than a hundred cavalrymen appeared.

The two leading officers were complaining.

"The Japanese have tanks but they don't charge in the front, forcing us cavalrymen to lead the charge!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? The Chief of Staff has already told me that if we encounter an ambush, we must retreat quickly. Saving our lives is the most important thing!"

There was a shout from behind.

"Baga, Guandi Town is just ahead, why are you dawdling? Hurry up!"

The two turned around and saw that it was Adjutant Matsui of the Cavalry Battalion. He immediately nodded and said,

"Hai, Hai!"

Following the order, the cavalrymen increased their speed significantly, but stopped about 200 meters away from the town.

Several scouts rushed out from the team and rushed towards the quiet town!

They came to the street corner and saw that there was no one there. A cavalryman dismounted and walked towards the shop next to him. He came under the eaves, opened the window, and looked inside.

With a bang, the cavalryman was shot in the head!

Then, there was a burst of gunfire at the street corner, and several scouts fell down with their horses in an instant!

Black gun barrels extended from the windows of several rooms and began to fire at the puppet cavalry team two hundred meters away!

Under the fire of three machine guns,

In the cavalry team, a row of people fell down in unison, and Adjutant Matsui was among them!

The rest turned around and retreated in fear!

Yan Zhen also exclaimed that it was a pity that the ambush was discovered by the enemy, otherwise, this cavalry team would definitely not be able to escape!

He hid the entire company in the house, and the people had been evacuated to other places. He was planning to have a big fight with the enemy!

The roar of motorcycles came.

The correspondent is back.

"Captain, Captain Wang ordered you to retreat to Liucaigou in the northeast!"

"Retreat now?"

"That's right, retreat now!"

A look of reluctance flashed across Yan Zhen's face.

Said helplessly,

"Well, all right then! Notify all platoons to retreat immediately!"

He didn't know how many devils came.

Otherwise, he would definitely run faster than a rabbit at this time!

Three kilometers away,

Behind a dirt slope,

There are Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition and on alert everywhere!

Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division, and a group of officers were looking through binoculars at the town.

Colonel Rikio Komatsuzaki, commander of the 11nd Regiment of the 22th Division, said with some disdain,

"Sir, do we still need to use 105mm howitzers to deal with this town?"

The Japanese army did not attack until now, just waiting for the artillery preparation of the 38th Division's artillery regiment!

Fujii Yoji looked at him.

"Young man, you have never suffered at the hands of the King of Hell, right? We'd better be cautious!"

After a while,

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the whole town was filled with black smoke and flames.

However, Yan Zhen and his men had already retreated and ran towards Liucaigou!

After twenty minutes of shelling,

Under the cover of more than ten armored vehicles,

Two squadrons of Japanese troops rushed into the town!
