Chapter 219 Contempt and Shock of First Army Commander Shinozuka Yoshio

When Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led their troops to join the battle to besiege the Japanese 41st Division, the battle also entered an extremely fierce battle. Both sides continued to suffer casualties, but the division commander, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, was lost. , and the Japanese 41st Division, which was fighting under the command of Chief of Staff Hirano Minami Sanjo, changed from an advantage to a disadvantage.

The troops from the two Japanese brigades that came to aid the Japanese 41st Division were also cloned troops deployed by He Feiyang. Together with the troops from the two main battalions of Chu Yunfei, they intercepted them, making them unable to proceed. Support operations and assist the Japanese 41st Division.

And this time,
The two divisions of Shanxi-Sui Army troops sent by Commander Yan to watch the fight between tigers and tigers did not know that at this moment, the Japanese 41st Division had already fallen into a crisis-ridden battle.

"Hey! What are you talking about? Li Yunlong, Kong Jie's Eighth Route Army, and our He Xiaoyang, who was judged as a traitor by Commander Yan, are they already surrounded by the Japanese army? I heard gunshots in the distance The sound of artillery is becoming more and more intensive, and I don’t know the fighting situation on the Japanese side. What is going on now?"

"It's dark now, and it's still late at night, otherwise I would have wanted to take someone over to take a look immediately!"

When Zhao Ming, one of the division commanders of the Jinsui Army, woke up from the noise of the gunfire and artillery fighting on the side of the Japanese 41st Division,
He also immediately asked Li Wendi, another division commander who was also awakened.

"It should be that they were secretly attacking the Japanese 41st Division's headquarters and headquarters, and then they were ambushed by the Japanese troops. They were in the middle of a hard fight! Anyway, they would not end well!"

"I heard from Commander Yan this time that the Japanese 41st Division also called in reinforcements from two brigades this time, so it has an absolute advantage in terms of troop strength!"

"And in terms of heavy firepower operations, the Japanese army also has many advantages. Moreover, the Japanese army seems to have developed night flying units recently, which can carry out night air raids and bombing operations!"

"Of course, even if the Japanese army does not send out night flying units for combat operations, they still have day flying units for flying operations!"

"As soon as the Eighth Route Army and our traitor He Xiaoyang's troops show up, they will be blown up by the Japanese planes and no one will be left alive!"

"In short, I am not optimistic at all that He Xiaoyang, combined with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, can successfully behead the division commander of the Japanese 41st Division, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, and the Chief of Staff Hirano Minami Sanjo!"

"This is simply impossible. If the division commander and chief of staff of the Japanese army can be beheaded so easily, then our Jinsui Army still needs to lose the important city of Taiyuan?"

"Do we still need to be afraid of the Japanese army?"

Li Wendi, commander of the Jinsui Army, also nodded and said.

"You're right! That's why I'm also not optimistic about He Xiaoyang, who fought against those Eighth Route Army night raids that beheaded the Japanese division commanders and chiefs of staff. They were just trying to grab the limelight and want to be in the newspapers!"

Division commander Zhao Ming echoed.

Therefore, these two senior generals of the Jinsui Army who were not optimistic about He Xiaoyang and Li Yunlong who were able to behead successfully missed a great opportunity to achieve a dazzling performance in the beheading battle.

When the battle is over,
The entire position of the Japanese 41st Division was littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, of course the corpses of soldiers from He Xiaoyang's unit, and the corpses of soldiers from Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's Eighth Route Army.

But the final loser was the Japanese 41st Division.

At least half of the Japanese troops were wiped out on the battlefield.
The other half of the Japanese troops fled in panic.

As the victors, He Xiaoyang and others quickly cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated quickly.
Worried about the Japanese troops of the other two brigades, they broke through the interception troops deployed by He Xiaoyang and rushed to the position of the Japanese 41st Division for support operations.

In the wee hours,

Before dawn, the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, received the bad news at the residence where he slept that the Japanese 41st Division had suffered heavy losses, as well as the division commander, Lieutenant General Abe Heisuke, and the Chief of Staff. Even worse news is that Hirano Minami Sanjo was beheaded.
