Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After encountering artillery fire from the opposite side, the commander of the 133rd Brigade, Yoshitake Tsuda, could not help but sigh at the strong combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.

Commander Sugiyama Gen was right. We cannot give this Eighth Route Army a chance to develop again.

So he ordered his troops to start a firefight and counterattack.

When the commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, Kiyomi Shimizu, saw the "Eighth Route Army" on the opposite side start to counterattack, he was immediately overjoyed. This was the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had surrounded the 1st Military Sub-district of Beiyue District.

The independent artillery battalion immediately began to counterattack the opposite side.

As the artillery battles and exchanges of fire between the two sides intensified, Tsuda Mitake and Shimizu Kiyomi gradually started to get angry.

Especially in the exchange of fire between the two sides, the losses on both sides were huge.

The exchange of fire continued until the second half of the night, and then both of them felt something was wrong. Why did the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side have so many standard weapons of the Locust Army? Could it be that they encountered the Eighth Route Army from the southeastern Shanxi region?

Finally, as the two sides continued to get closer, the front-line soldiers stopped in a hurry when they heard the accent and words of the other side during the attack.

Then the front-line squad leaders who were commanding the battle saw this scene and immediately panicked, and hurriedly reported the situation to their respective brigade headquarters.

When Tsuda Mitake and Shimizu Kiyomi learned that the opposing army was actually their own.

Realizing that this was a misunderstanding, his face suddenly changed.

If this matter is not handled properly and Commander Sugiyama finds out, the two men will probably have to take off their uniforms and be court-martialed.

After a hasty meeting and discussion, Tsuda Mitake and Shimizu Kiyomi immediately ordered the news to be blocked.

At the same time, both sides insisted that they had surrounded the main force of the First Military Division and engaged in a fierce artillery battle with the main force of the First Military Division at night. Most of the main force of the First Military Division had been wiped out by the locust army.

Then, the two began to count the casualties of the troops.

However, as the casualty statistics were reported to the two men, their faces suddenly darkened as they looked at the casualties of the troops.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade lost one of the three battalions that came to encircle the 1st Military Sub-district, and the artillery battalion suffered more than half of its casualties.

The two regiments of the 133rd Brigade suffered more casualties than two battalions, and most of their artillery was destroyed by the locust army on the opposite side.

The two of them discussed it face to face and came up with a solution.

The plan was to pull out the security corps of Yun County overnight, and then immediately find someone to urgently make dozens of Eighth Route Army uniforms at the Yun County Textile Factory. Finally, they would put them on this group of people and find a place to dispose of them as corpses of the defeated Eighth Route Army. The next day during the day, they would find a photographer to take pictures to make up for it.

Afterwards, Shimizu Kiyomi sent a telegram to the locust troops stationed at the brigade headquarters in Yun County, asking them to rush to Yangjiaqiao Township with the security team.

When it was almost dawn, a polished telegram was sent to the North China Front Army, and then each army withdrew its troops from the mountains and returned.

Early morning on the 7th.

Sugiyama Gen received a joint telegram from the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 133rd Brigade.

In the telegram, Tsuda Mitake and Shimizu Kiyomi reported to Sugiyama Hajime.

Last night, two locust armies surrounded the troops of the First Military Sub-district of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Eighth Route Army in Yangjiaqiao Township in the Wutai Mountain area, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.

At one point, the Eighth Route Army dispatched 24 artillery pieces to bombard the attacking locust army.

Under the heroic and fearless attack of the Locust Army, after suffering the loss of three battalions and one artillery battalion, they successfully eliminated the three main regiments of the First Military Division and destroyed the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

Sugiyama Gen looked at the telegram, and a smile finally appeared on his face, which had been gloomy for a long time.

At the same time, he was quite surprised by the loss, but then he was very glad for his decision.
