Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Xiao Pu Dahui, who was commanding at the front line, suddenly changed his face when he heard explosions and gunshots coming from behind him. He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army had actually sneaked into the mining area.

Without any time to think, Daiki Koura immediately ordered the signalman to urgently request tactical guidance from the regiment commander Ken'ya Yamashita in the city. At the same time, he separated two infantry companies and began to move towards the rear.

But it was too late.

As the troops of the two battalions of the 16th Regiment began to continuously capture the various strongholds set up by the Japanese army in the mine, for a time, the Japanese troops guarding the entire mine began to retreat to the rear.

At the same time, a firefight broke out in the front with two Japanese infantry squadrons coming back to support.

As the number of Japanese troops guarding the mining area front decreased, the firepower on the mining area front began to weaken for a while.

When the commander of the 16th Regiment, who was commanding the battle on the front line, saw this scene, he immediately realized that the 2nd and 3rd Battalions had successfully sneaked into the mining area and started the attack. He then ordered the artillery battalion to start firing, and the entire regiment, including a battalion supported by the 17th Regiment, began to prepare for the attack.

Jingxing County.

When Yamashita Kenya saw the telegram for help from the Third Battalion, he was a little confused for a moment.

Less than two hours later, the Eighth Route Army attacked the mining area.

Or maybe the Eighth Route Army had no intention of attacking the county town, but rather the mining area!

In this case, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the arrival of the locust army reinforcements before reinforcing the mining area. According to Xiao Pu Dahui, the Eighth Route Army had entered the mining area by some unknown method.

The Jingxing mining area must not be occupied by the Eighth Route Army!

Ever since the mining area was occupied by the Eighth Route Army once before, those hateful Eighth Route Army soldiers directly blew up the mining area, and the Locust Army had to spend a lot of effort to rebuild it. The commander of the security regiment responsible for guarding the mining area was directly thrown back to the country.

He doesn't want to be like that wing commander.

Thinking of this, if the Eighth Route Army wanted Jingxing County, they could take it. The most urgent task was to defend the mining area.

So, Yamashita Kenya began to organize the two battalions of the regiment to assemble, preparing to personally lead the entire force to reinforce the mining area. At the same time, he hurriedly urged the arrival of other locust army reinforcements.

After Yamashita Kenye assembled the remaining large forces of the 79th Regiment, he left a squadron of Japanese troops to protect the county town with the cooperation of the puppet army, and he took the other troops to reinforce the mining area.

Yamashita Ken could never have imagined that as the two battalions of the 16th Regiment began to attack continuously in the mining area, soon, except for the Japanese troops on the front line, most of the Japanese troops in the rear were wiped out by the soldiers of the two battalions.

Then, with the cooperation of the first battalion, the two battalions attacked from both sides. In less than half an hour, they completely wiped out the large group of Japanese troops guarding the Jingxing mining area.

At the same time as annihilating this Japanese brigade, Ken'ya Yamashita also led this Japanese regiment towards the place where the other two regiments were ambushed.

When Commander Lu received news from the scouts ahead that a large number of Japanese troops had almost come out of Jingxing County, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to annihilate this Japanese regiment in the wild.

Therefore, they immediately urged the 16th Regiment to intensify its attack, encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in the entire mining area as quickly as possible, and then return to provide support immediately.

In order to slow down the speed of Japanese reinforcements, the soldiers began to lay mines along the route of the Japanese reinforcements, and at the same time harassed this Japanese force in sections, making sure to cut off and disperse the large Japanese force.

When the Japanese troops in the Jingxing mining area were completely wiped out by the 16th Regiment, Yamashita Ken was also defeated by the Eighth Route Army on the way to reinforcement.
