*********************************************************************

Intelligence is crucial to victory or defeat in war.

Yang Tianfeng was close to the Military Control Commission, and his foresight was ahead of him. Before the war began, he had already taken the lead.

On April 25, 1939, the Japanese army divided into two groups to invade Bo County. Historical records: "On the 26th, the Japanese army approached the suburbs of the city under the cover of artillery fire, bombarded the county town, and Xuegeta was hit..."

The first half is still realistic, while the second half will never appear because of Yang Tianfeng's existence.

The car shone with a metallic luster in the rising sun, and the carriages were shaking, causing dust to rise. The road was full of fully armed infantry, and the Japanese devils in the uniforms of the yellow woolen were the puppet troops. The yellow and gray were interspersed, like a huge and scattered hole embedded in the leaves. The black steel helmet and the snow-shiny bayonet were shining with dazzling light.

Cang Yongjia stood on Gaogang on the side of the road, and looked at everything in front of him, a smug smile appeared on his face. He opened the gold cigarette box happily and took out a cigarette, knocked it gently on the cigarette box, and glanced at the advancement troops in front of him.

The guards quickly stepped forward and lit cigarettes for him with a lighter. Cang Yongjia took a deep breath and slowly spewed out wisps of smoke. Looking at the rising smoke rings, thinking that under this powerful offensive, the enemy in Haoxian turned into wisps of light smoke and disappeared on this vast land controlled by the imperial army, he smiled alone.

He was sure that this belief was well-founded. There were two regiments of the puppet army (two battalions system) participating in the war, one battalion of the Japanese army and one artillery squadron, with a total of more than 2,000 people, which was very strong.

A "report" interrupted Kazuyaichi's thoughts, and the confidential officer submitted a report to the reporter.

The telegram was sent by the vanguard, and the general idea was that the troops were plagued, and the two villages passed by were empty, and all the food and livestock were transferred. The most important thing was that there were four corner nails and mines on the road, and the speed of travel was forced to slow down.

Similarly, the troops from the other route also sent similar telegrams, and the harassment and landmines encountered had a great impact on them.

Kura Eichung gently knocked on the newspaper clip, thinking about how to re-elect the phone. This situation was a bit beyond his expectations. He did not expect that the Self-Defense Army would dare to go out of the city to fight. He thought that the troops could go straight in, and the battle would take place in the county, and the main battle would revolve around the city walls and gates!

"Re-Speed--" Cang Yongjia waved his arms and said arbitrarily and confidently: "How can the skills of the carving insects prevent our invincible imperial army from advancing ahead? Each unit can take advantage of the victory and attack the enemy's nest."

…………………

A series of explosions shocked the earth, the flames and smoke covered the clear sky, the walls fell and the houses collapsed, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and the Japanese Mugu Squadron, which was the leader, and a battalion of puppet troops approached Shibali Town. Here, they were hit head-on. Relying on complete and solid fortifications, the soldiers of the Third Column fought fiercely with the enemy.

The raging fires burned the houses, and the heavy smoke filled the streets and alleys, and the harsh whistles of bombs came one after another.

The hidden shooting hole was suddenly opened, and several machine guns were firing like poisonous snakes. The Japanese and puppet soldiers were hit by raindrop bullets as soon as they stood up.

But Mutani's hand holding the telescope was shaking slightly due to extreme anger. Guns and shouts in the town were vaguely heard. The troops rushing into the town were being attacked by the superior enemy. I don't know how long they could last. As the vanguard, they carried light artillery such as mortars, and the result of the bombardment was not satisfactory.

"Urgent the follow-up brigade to transport the infantry artillery up immediately." Kitani said to the staff in a furious manner: "Order the Matsumura team to attack the town from the west and the Imperial Army from the north to rescue the Kawashima team trapped in the town."

The Third Column simply relied on the outer positions to resist for a while, and then retreated into the town. A small team of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops immediately attacked, but after they were led to the depths, they were locked inside.

This time, the enemy was selected in Shibali Town. Yang Tianfeng and others thought carefully and secretly sent someone to investigate.

First of all, Shibali is a large town that guards the road. When the enemy attacks Haoxian, this place will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it, and the enemy is very likely to use this as an important supply center and foothold. On the other hand, Shibali Town is mostly brick and tile buildings, which are not easy to catch fire. The streets are both narrow and numerous, which is conducive to the persistence of street battles.

Moreover, the Third Column arrived here two days in advance, not only moved all the residents here, but also carried out several offensive and defensive exercises here, familiarizing themselves with the streets and terrain, and stepped up the construction of many fortifications and semi-underground bunkers. It was well prepared and waiting for work.

After a fierce battle, Shibali Town finally calmed down, and Mugu held up a telescope and did not let go for a long time. Silence means that the troops rushing into the town have been completely resolved, and the attacks carried out from the south and north sides of the town have also suffered setbacks and suffered great losses.

Based on this, he judged that the enemy's defense was not a small number of troops, and his side did not have an overwhelming advantage, and there were also small enemy troops operating on the periphery.

So he temporarily stopped the attack, gathered the troops, and waited for the arrival of the brigade. After counting the casualties, Mutani couldn't help but gasp. Nearly one and a half teams of Japanese troops were killed and killed, and the puppet army was even worse. Only one company of intact soldiers were left. Not to mention attacking, he was in danger of being backfired by the enemy in the town.

The Japanese devils' brigade acted very quickly and arrived in Shibali Town at noon. Under the personal command of Kazunaga Kazuki, one of the puppet troops' battalions used two companies to restrain the two wings, and one company served as the main attacker. Sato Squadron, as the second echelon, launched an attack on the town.

The loud explosion shocked the earth, the strong fire and smoke covered the clear sky, the walls fell, and the bricks and tiles flew everywhere.

The defenders in the town re-used the same tricks, retreated, lured the enemy, and then started street fighting with the enemy deep in the town.

On a dirt mountain behind the enemy's position, it was placed under tight alert, surrounded by guards, and machine guns were set up in several directions. The shooters were fully focused and ready to suppress the sudden firepower at any time.

Cang Yongjia held up a telescope and observed the fierce battle in the town.

"What are your opinions?" Cang Yong suddenly turned around and glanced at everyone with a deep gaze.

"The enemy was in a hurry and his army was shaken. Our army had already attacked the town. We should seize the opportunity to take advantage of the victory and attack, so that they would not have a chance to breathe. We should do our best to eliminate them in one go." Kitani said first.

Kura Neng was silent and did not comment, and his eyes turned to other people's faces. The Japanese officers who were watching all raised their chests and agreed to Kitani's opinion.

"Hahahaha." Kura Yong suddenly burst out laughing. The Japanese officers were stunned for a moment, and then they were infected by this emotion and burst into laughter. However, when the laughter started, Kura Yong's laughter stopped abruptly. He asked in an unexpectedly sarcastic tone: "Everyone, are you too optimistic?"

The Japanese officers suddenly fell silent and looked at the unpredictable commander in a daze.

"This raid attack is not successful at all, and it is incomparable to the battle of Luyi. Even if we completely eliminate the enemies in the town, we just grabbed the tail that the enemy deliberately left behind." Kuraoya pointed to the town and said, "The enemy is familiar with the terrain and defended by danger, which makes our imperial army's house short and it is very costly to lose a lot in street battles. Now, the large number of enemies in Haoxian may have evacuated, and we can only get an empty city."

Several Japanese officers looked at each other and felt that Kuranaga's words were certainly reasonable, but they could occupy Hao Prefecture without any major losses. Isn't that good? Kitani moved his mouth and wanted to argue for a few words, but he couldn't figure out Kuranaga's intentions, so he restrained himself from making any noise.

"The enemy's strength remains, and they will continue to harass and attack, which will force our army to invest a lot of troops to garrison the county." Kurayong seemed to see the thoughts of everyone and said slowly: "If this is the case in all places, how can we mobilize and gather a sufficient number of mobile troops and how to attack those guerrilla armed forces?"

Cang Yongjia looked into the town again, then thought silently for a while, turned around and walked back and forth, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you ever thought about it? We cannot just focus on the enemy in front of us, but look at the entire battle situation. The main force of the enemy seems to have fled, so the prospect of the battle situation still needs to be made based on the development of the situation."

…………………

The dense gunfire was mixed with violent explosions, the dust raised, the rising smoke columns, and the endless smoke and dust formed a large net, covering the sky above Shibali Town.

The puppet army entering the town was subjected to stubborn resistance. The middle and lower-level officers, machine gun shooters, and gunners were frequently shot dead by cold guns. The hidden fire points emitted unpreventable death flames from time to time. The curved and direct grenades made the puppet army continue to suffer casualties. The puppet army, who had not undergone street fighting training, seemed extremely uncomfortable. Not only were they killed and injured, but they were repeatedly attacked and killed. If there were no Japanese behind them, they would have retreated long ago.

Subsequently, after repeated attacks were frustrated, Kura Nagaya changed his tactics, while restraining the front, he instead strengthened the attack on the flanks, attempting to open a gap and expand the division and encircle.

The violent artillery fire poured down like a heavy rain, and the flames covered the north side of the town with thick smoke. The enemy continued to intensify firepower and was determined to break through the left wing.

Given the advantage of the enemy's firepower and force, the defenders in the town immediately organized scattered ambush, relied on high walls and deep alleys to deal with the enemy, consumed the enemy, and continued to take the initiative to give up some positions, constantly retreated, and led the enemy into depth.
