Luozi Slope.

In the mountains between Chuncheng and Tonghuacheng, during the season of heavy snow, the only place where large-scale mobilization can be carried out is the official road below Luozipo, and the terrain here is not dangerous.

But there was really no other choice. At this time, there was no vast expanse of snow and clear rivers on both sides of the road, only mud and melted snow brought by the heat wave.

The 37th Division, the 4th Regiment, the 5th Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment jointly blocked the position, and the battle had already begun here.

Emperor Zhao constantly observed the enemy through a telescope, uncertainty still lingering in his eyes. After all, they had just come north from Jin and had just finished the battle of Shengjing. He had originally expected a long period of rest, but he had not expected that after the New Year, the 100,000 troops would be dispersed...

Once again, a war more powerful than the one in Shengjing broke out.

After the New Year, three directions of attack were launched simultaneously, pointing to the south and the north.

The southern expedition pacified the Qiufang warehouse and threatened Tonghua City.

They advanced northwards and fought for hundreds of miles straight to Chuncheng. Now the Japanese support was beginning to gather in Chuncheng, and the Japanese's intention to break through was obvious.

"With only three regiments, will the Lin Brigade really attack Chuncheng?" Emperor Zhao murmured, although he knew that the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Huben Brigade were the absolute main force.

But Chuncheng is backed by Bingcheng and close to the northern border. The Kwantung Army has troops deployed nearby. As soon as the Pingqiu transit warehouse appeared, the Japanese mobilized three divisions to go to Tonghuacheng.

Three regiments going to attack Chuncheng?

Emperor Zhao couldn't help but murmur in his heart, and at this moment, a violent explosion was heard, which made his thoughts return to the battlefield of Luozipo again, and his brows frowned instantly.

"Let the Second Brigade hold the right wing!"

Emperor Zhao's expression became much more serious. This time, they had been waiting for more than half a month before launching this ambush.

When facing the three divisions of the Japanese devils, Emperor Zhao was extremely worried at first. Although the number of troops in the battle was 46,000 against 32,000, and the advantage in terms of manpower was on their side, the name of the Kwantung Army had accompanied him in battles for many years.

The casualty ratio in previous battles was always one to seven, or even more. Regarding this battle, Emperor Zhao was both vigilant and worried.

But as the battle progressed, Emperor Zhao felt the fierceness of the Tiger Brigade. The main force on the front of the position was the 4th and 5th Regiments of the Tiger Brigade.

Luo Xuhui and Chu Yunfei became completely different people at the beginning of the battle. To be more precise, the 358th Regiment and the 35th Division changed completely.

Whether it is the playing style or the tactical arrangements, there is no trace of the previous ones.

Luo Xuhui was holding a Czech light machine gun in his hand on the front line of the battlefield... Chu Yunfei was the same. Flames appeared from time to time, and he was a little worried that the Japanese would target him and shoot him.

"Didn't Luo Datou's mother say before that what she hated most were reckless generals!" Emperor Zhao couldn't help but curse lightly, his face full of strangeness. Within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Luo Xuhui was known as a Confucian general.

This means that Luo Xuhui is gentle and elegant, and his style of doing things is relatively steady.

But now...

Emperor Zhao felt that it was not just Luo Xuhui. The soldiers under Luo Xuhui gave him the feeling that if they were not fighting a blocking battle, they might have rushed down and fought the Japanese to the death.

The two regiments at the base made him look at them with new eyes. He had thought that the base's equipment was poor, with a regiment having a maximum of 1,000 men, but these two regiments were the strength of two reinforced regiments, and their weapons and equipment were not inferior at all.

What is important is the overall combat effectiveness, which makes Emperor Zhao look sideways.

"The changes are really huge..." Emperor Zhao thought for a while and shook his head.

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared beside him. Staff Officer Liu Xiangzhi ran over quickly, his face showing uncontrollable excitement:

"Chief Commander, news from Spring City: We have already captured the southern part of the city during our attack."

"Where did you hear the news?" Emperor Zhao was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

After all, Lin Tianchen had just started his northward advance with three regiments. In just one or two days, Chuncheng was broken?

"It was conveyed by the Northern Expedition Headquarters..." Liu Xiangzhi clenched his fists tightly. What was the purpose of the Northern Expedition? Wasn't it this very moment?

"Chuncheng has been broken?" After Emperor Zhao confirmed it again, he finally believed the news.

But he didn't expect that Chuncheng could be captured so quickly. The troops there were only two regiments, plus an independent regiment from the base, but they had already captured the city in such a short time.

Even if it was just breaking the city gate, it would be amazing enough. The moment the city was broken, it was no longer a siege, but a street fight!

Emperor Zhao tried hard to digest the news, but the fighting on the battlefield ahead was extremely fierce.

"Kill! Hold on, our main force is fighting in Chuncheng! Don't let these beasts get through!" Luo Xuhui no longer cared about being gentle and polite at this time. He only knew that he was a member of the Tiger Guard Brigade now, and he could not lose the reputation of the Tiger Guard Brigade.

Holding a Czech light machine gun, he kept firing at the Japanese soldiers below. Even if the terrain was not dangerous, it was still a mountain with a commanding height, and the shooting angle was better than that below.

When the voice came, the morale of all the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment was raised again. Luo Xuhui, who was standing among the soldiers, finally understood at this moment why each regiment of the Tiger Guard Brigade could cultivate such spirit.

After all, if the general is not afraid of death, the soldiers will follow him.

"Captain!" Sun Zhuyang said quickly.

"what?"

"Captain, news from the brigade commander!"

Sun Zhuyang's words made Luo Xuhui's face suddenly stiffen. He returned to the trench and put the light machine gun with a red barrel aside.

"What news?" Luo Xuhui's face suddenly became serious, thinking that some new order had come.

"Chuncheng has been breached, and the brigade is now expanding inside the city. Let's end the battle here as quickly as possible. Let the 4th and 5th Regiments pretend to enter Chuncheng and connect with Bingcheng. The 37th Division will block the route, and the base will advance north into Chuncheng."

Peng Shanping spoke excitedly.

Luo Xuhui, who was standing by, didn't look too surprised when he heard this. After all, following Lin Tianchen, no matter how impossible the battle was, it would become possible. He just thought about it for a moment and his expression became much more serious.

"Have Emperor Zhao retreat and organize a new defensive position. Speed ​​up the process and spread the word to all units. We will push forward in ten minutes. Have the 37th Division and the two regiments from the base area provide cover."

Luo Xuhui thought about it seriously, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of letting him pretend to advance north. However, since it was Lin Tianchen's order, he had to execute it as soon as possible.

After the order was issued, the Fourth Regiment obviously made strategic adjustments, which formed a pincer attack with the Fifth Regiment.

Sun Zhuyang and Peng Shanping did not hesitate at all and quickly arranged and prepared for the front-line mission.

The adjustments were completed quickly, and then bursts of fighting sounds were heard at this moment. The original positional blocking battle was already in the process of charging forward.
