Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

But at this moment, when Yoshito Takagi saw the troops of the 389th Division outside the city, he immediately fell into doubt.

Because the entire Yuncheng relies on the mountains extending westward from Zhongtiao Mountain.

Built on the mountain.

Therefore, the defense of Yuncheng only needs to defend the long and sloping side along the foot of the mountain.

The entire city wall only needs to be heavily guarded on one side.

In this way, the Japanese troops defending the city would not be dispersed too much.

This is also the reason why Ushijima Mitsuki and Homma Masaharu stationed the 39th Brigade to resist the attacking forces of the 389th Division.

But at this moment, Yoshito Takagi looked at the Eighth Route Army outside the city with a trace of confusion on his face.

Now, the Eighth Route Army outside the city has begun to build attack positions.

But when he saw this Eighth Route Army unit, Takagi Yoshito immediately fell into doubt.

Is this really the 389th Division’s troops?

Why is it different from the 389th Division we dealt with before?

The Eighth Route Army troops in front of us.

Behind each soldier was a standard rifle that Takagi Yoshito had never seen before.

At the same time, according to his understanding of the 389th Division, Zeng Jiwen's troops of the Eighth Route Army were equipped with almost the same standard weapons as the Locust Army.

But now, he did not see any trace of the Empire's light or heavy machine guns on the opposite Eighth Route Army troops.

Observing through the telescope, the rifles and light machine guns of the Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side were all similar.

Those light machine guns look very similar to the Maxim-Tokarev light machine guns equipped by the northern troops.

But if you look closely from a distance, it is completely different from the Maxim-Tokarev light machine gun.

Yoshito Takagi had a guess in his mind whether the North had already cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to develop new weapons.

When he thought of this possibility, Yoshito Takagi felt something was wrong.

At this time, the commander of the 77th Regiment, Koi Tokugawa, gave a suggestion to Takagi Yoshito.

"General, how about I lead the troops to explore the situation of the Eighth Route Army outside?"

Hearing this, Takagi Yoshito shook his head.

"Xingyijun~

Get your squadron ready for defense, I suspect the situation is not looking good."

After saying that, he turned to the orderly beside him.

"Send the situation here to His Excellency the Division Commander."

Watching the orderly leave, Takagi Yoshito waved his hand.

"Everyone, go down and get ready~"

After saying that, he led his men back to the command center in the city.

outside the city.

The westward column of the 389th Division, which was divided into two groups, had also gathered outside the city at this time.

This time, Zeng Jiwen came from every military sub-district in western Hebei.

The complete new weapons regiments equipped by each military sub-district in the past six months were selected to form the westward column.

They are the 81st to 86th Regiments, with a total of more than 18,000 people.

Then, led by Xun Bai, commander of the Fourth Military Sub-district, they headed towards Yuncheng to encircle the rear of the two Japanese divisions.

Accompanying them was an artillery regiment that had already completed training, and some instructors from the north also accompanied the army.

"Commander, let the 81st Regiment take the lead this time~"

At this time, in the command center outside the city, the commander of the 81st Regiment, Wang Huaide, rushed to speak.

"Hey, Wang Lao Er, you should take a break. Our regiment is more experienced in ambushing the 14th Division with new weapons.

Let us come as a group this time.”

The commander of the 82nd Regiment, Lu Guanying, said to Wang Huaide with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the other groups immediately became unhappy.

The commander of the 83rd Regiment is Deng Zhifeng, the commander of the 84th Regiment is Gong Hanwen, the commander of the 85th Regiment is Yu Zhenghao, and the commander of the 86th Regiment is Huo Zhicheng.

(Many of the regimental commanders and political commissars don’t have names, are there any brothers who want to be one?)

Not wanting to be outdone, several people immediately joined in the fight for the main attack mission.

Hearing everyone cursing "Ni Ma" on the left and "Gou Ri" on the right, Xun Bai's face suddenly turned dark.

bang~

"Stop arguing!"

Xun Bai slammed the table hard.

For a moment, the entire command center fell silent.

"What are you arguing about~

You guys don’t fight the war~”

“This time we have nearly 20,000 people here.

Their weapons and equipment were far superior to those of the Japanese.
