"Report, our regiment commander's plan is to disperse it into points, use the points to cover it, leave after the fight, and lure the enemy into depth..." Xiu Yuan talked about Hu Yizhou's plan.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you!" Li Yunlong nodded and responded...

The security team was waiting for the Japanese to attack, and even pulled a new regiment to help. Although the Japanese were not going well, they still barely achieved one of three strategic goals, that is, to control the traffic line and complete the division of southeastern Shanxi.

Of course, Licheng is an indispensable link to achieve this goal perfectly. Otherwise, there would be such a city that is crossing between Handan and Changzhi, and the Japanese's logistics line would not dare to go from here.

So, the next step for the Japanese is to attack Licheng.

During this period, the Japanese were also actively mobilizing their troops while attacking. For example, several three-unit divisions that should be transferred to the First Army or the North China Front Army have been completely mobilized and joined the battle.

In addition, the Japanese are also changing their organizational structures and establishing new combat units. For example, on July 20, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was newly formed in Handan and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade was formed in Peiping.

After the two independent mixed brigades were formed, they immediately entered the combat sequence directly under the North China Front Army on the 22nd. At the same time, the 114th Division, which was fighting in western Henan and southern Shandong, was transferred back to the country and prepared to withdraw the organization.

Of course, whether the 114th Division or not has much to do with the southeastern Jin, they are hundreds of miles away from the southeastern Jin.

But the first mixed brigade is different.

The First Mixed Brigade was organized in Handan. After the organization was organized, it entered the combat sequence of the North China Front Army, and just helped the 108th Division guard the eastern section of the Handan Chang Highway, so that the 108th Division could join the attack on southeastern Shanxi without any worries.

Otherwise, why did the Japanese dare to build bridges on the Qingzhang River and even bring up their own artillery corps? It was because of the existence of this First Mixed Brigade. If the First Mixed Brigade had not shown them the back, it would be strange if the Eighth Route Army in Hebei could make the Japanese in the 108th Division safe.

It can be said that the Eighth Route Army faced the main force of the Japanese army in the southeast of Shanxi, and there were more than 50,000 people not facing it...

But then again, the Japanese were not only facing the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Jin. They were facing the Eighth Route Army in the entire North China, so the number of people was too high.

Hu Yizhou doesn't care how to compare between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese, because now both of them are not of the same level in weapons and equipment.

Even the comparison of troops is not the same level... Although there are many people from the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese North China Front Army has more than 200,000. In addition, the number of puppet troops has not yet grown rapidly, so the number of people is even greater.

In the late stage, it was said that the total number of puppet troops was 2.1 million, and Mr. Wang made an indelible contribution to this.

Just after the Japanese actively mobilized and the security team and the Xinyi team actively prepared for a few days, the Japanese finally couldn't hold back.

Maybe I think they have consolidated the occupied area. Even if the Eighth Route Army attacked everywhere, it did not interrupt the Japanese's attack on Licheng on August 7th.

That's right, on August 7, the Japanese devils set out from Changzhi and Shexian at the same time, and launched a two-way attack on Licheng in a synchronous manner.

"Woo woo..." The reconnaissance plane in the sky was flying.

"Boom...shush..." The cars pulling supplies lined up with pack horses.

"Crazy... rumble..." The infantry started from both ends of the Handan-Chang Highway toward Licheng with the cooperation of tanks.

For a small county town in Taihang Mountains, the Japanese used the main lineup of 108 and 109 divisions, which was quite a momentum.

"Woo... dada... dada..." The plane flew over the hill, and the bullets fired down made several bullet marks on the hill.

"Woo... chirp... chirp... boom boom..." Aerial bombs fell from the bomber and fireworks exploded on the hill.

Almost at the same time, Shentouling, northeast of Lucheng and Jiucaishan, Xiangtangpu, east of Dongyangguan, were bombed by planes on the ground. In order to capture Licheng, the Japanese really had air-to-ground linkages, and even tank troops were sent.

Then why did the Japanese bombard these two places? Because last year, these 108th Division was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy casualties, which was the sad part of the 108th Division. So before the attack, I first dropped bombs and asked for directions.

For the Japanese, dropping a few bombs is nothing, and stopping people ambushing them is the right way. Well, the Eighth Route Army attacked everywhere, and the Japanese have lost a lot of manpower recently and have begun to tighten their troops...

Of course, the Japanese are not Ying Jiang's house. Before the ground attack, they can unscrupulously take air strikes for a few days and have several carpet bombs. In order to blow up a tent that is suspected to have an enemy worth less than one hundred dollars, they dare to drop a million-dollar laser-guided bomb.

The Japanese family's resources cannot withstand this consumption method. It is already a big deal to be able to fire a plane at a suspicious target before the formal attack, and then drop more than a dozen bombs.

Beside the north of Xiangtangpu is Jiucai Mountain. Now there are no ordinary people on the entire transportation line, and even several villages are deserted.

Just on the south bank of the ancient river channel south of Xiangtangpu, there are some mountains with a relatively high height of several hundred meters. The mountains in some places are relatively steep and difficult to climb.

But now, a company of the new 1st regiment is ambushing on a 100-meter-high mountain ridge, and there is a platoon of security regiment soldiers in the middle, where Xiu Yuan is also here.

"Luckily, we didn't ambush the mountain opposite, otherwise the trouble would be great now!" Captain Coptis laid in the grass, took off his hat and wiped his sweat.

"Don't move around! Be careful to call the Japanese plane!" someone reminded me.

"Brother, I heard from the accent of the Northeast Nagada?" asked Corps Huang.

"It's from the Northeast, but this doesn't matter. I am a Chinese soldier now!" Li Yubin said nothing after he said that.

"Okay, you're awesome!" Captain Huang had no objection to this a bit of aloof platoon leader. Now everyone is working together to fight the Japanese.

However, when the company thought of the three general-purpose machine guns that the security team helped to its own company, Captain Huang felt excited. This was a big killer weapon, and a machine gun also carried thousands of bullets.

However, when he saw that a platoon had 8 machine guns in his platoon, Company Commander Huang became depressed. When he looked at the hands of ordinary infantry, he was still shooting weapons called assault rifles. Company Commander Huang became even more depressed.
