Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After the Japanese army was thrown into chaos, the vanguard troops began to attack the Japanese camp under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire.

When they encountered a fire point set up by the Japanese army, the soldiers of the regiment's rocket launcher platoon picked up the rocket launcher and destroyed the fire point set up by the Japanese army with a single shell.

In a short while, the entire brigade of Japanese troops was beaten back step by step.

At this time, the captain of the third battalion, Yukisuke Miyagi, looked at the chaotic scene and immediately began to organize his troops to fight back and retreat at the same time.

However, just as they withdrew from the camp, they ran into the 125th Regiment that was encircling them from the rear.

They rushed into the ambush position set up by the 125th Regiment.

On the other side, since Gaoyu and Guanglu were located in the plains, the two places were not far apart.

The regiment commander, Ishiguro Zhen, was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of artillery fire from the direction of Gaoyu not far away. When he heard that the artillery fire came from the direction of Guanglu, his face suddenly changed.

That was exactly the direction of his Third Battalion. The Third Battalion was probably attacked by the Chinese Eighth Route Army, especially at night.

When Ishiguro Sadanzo got up and was about to lead his troops to support the Third Battalion, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

At this time, there were only two battalions around him. The sound of artillery coming from the direction of Guanglu was obviously the sound of the Empire's 75mm mountain artillery.

And the number is at least 10 or more.

He immediately realized that the Third Battalion was in great danger.

At the same time, his two battalions were not safe either. It was not clear how many Eighth Route Army troops were around. If they went to support at this time and fell into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, their regiment would be finished.

After all, Ishiguro Sadanzo had fought against the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi several times, and he deeply understood that the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi was fully capable of annihilating his own regiment.

Thinking of this, Ishiguro Sadazo immediately ordered the troops to assemble.

At the same time, they were preparing to retreat, and the Third Battalion was probably doomed.

If they retreated too late, the remaining two battalions would have to follow the third battalion's rear.

When Ishiguro Sadanzo assembled his troops and began to evacuate, suddenly, the Eighth Route Army opposite Guanglu Town began to attack the remaining two battalions of the Japanese army.

Although there was no forced attack on the two battalions, the Guanglu Front continued to fire artillery shells at the camp of the Second Regiment.

Seeing this situation, Ishiguro Sadanzo felt even more uneasy, and immediately ordered the Second Battalion to retreat to Handan as the vanguard, while the First Battalion served as the rearguard.

However, when the Second Battalion began to retreat, it was attacked by a minefield. At the same time, the front-line troops also engaged in a firefight with the 124th Regiment that had been ambushed in the rear.

Suddenly, the entire Guanglu was filled with fierce gunfire.

When Ishiguro Sadanzo saw this, he immediately reported the situation to Kenji Doihara, commander of the 14th Division in Handan, and requested tactical guidance.

At the same time, he immediately ordered the two battalions under his command to start defending on the spot.

In Handan, when Kenji Doihara was awakened by a rapid knock on the door, the orderly hurriedly reported to him the news that the 2nd Regiment had been attacked.

Upon hearing this news, Kenji Doihara's face changed drastically.

Without even bothering to put on his clothes, he began to order the 59th Regiment to assemble immediately to provide support to the 2nd Regiment.

But it was too late.

In the Gaoyu direction, when the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment ran into the ambush position of the 125th Regiment, it was immediately attacked fiercely by the 125th Regiment.

Under the fierce attack of the 125th Regiment, the 3rd Battalion was constantly divided. At the same time, the 81st Regiment attacking from the rear also caught up with the 3rd Battalion.

Because of the battle with the Japanese Type A Regiment this time, in order to prevent heavy casualties, when attacking, they encountered the Japanese heavy firepower point, which was directly destroyed by a rocket launched by the soldiers carrying the rocket launcher.
