Under the unified command of Ding Wei, the soldiers of the Iron Triangle are trying to think of ways to kill the 11th Regiment of the 26th Division and the two cavalry units in the encirclement.

The remaining main combat troops of the 386 Brigade also took the opportunity to launch a major counterattack against the Japanese army and completed military linkage with the Jizhong troops.

The Eighth Route Army troops in southern Hebei also took the opportunity to attack the Japanese army and contained a considerable number of Japanese troops.

Then not only the Eighth Route Army, but also some Shanxi-Sui Army and Chiang Kai-shek troops who were closely related to the Iron Triangle Army also jumped out, taking the opportunity to add insult to injury and beat up the Japanese army.

It is in such an unprecedented chaotic situation.

The Eighth Route Army, which was seen clearly in the picture, aimed its real killing move at Datong.

The Japanese army, which finally realized the true intentions of the Eighth Route Army, fell into great panic.

They thought the Eighth Route Army was crazy, and its single-minded approach seemed like a desperate effort.

This is completely different from the guerrilla tactics implemented by the Eighth Route Army troops in previous years, which avoided direct confrontation with the Japanese army.

Headquarters of the Mongolian Army.

The Japanese commander learned that the Eighth Route Army that had launched an attack outside Datong City was designated as the Yanbei Detachment.

This news made the old devil stunned, and then he felt a little happy in his heart.

The Yanbei Detachment is an old rival of the Mongolian Army and can be considered difficult to deal with.

But it would be wishful thinking for a small Yanbei detachment to capture Datong.

Do you really think that with a few more broken vehicles and some kind of quick reaction force, we can take down our base camp in Mongolia?

With this in mind, the old Japanese commander took his time and gave orders to the Datong garrison to defend. At the same time, he mobilized reinforcements from all sides and advanced unhurriedly in the direction of Datong.

This old devil even had a wishful thinking, thinking that it was impossible for this small Yanbei detachment to shake the defense of Datong Fortress.

Perhaps we can also take the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Eighth Route Army and destroy it in one fell swoop.

In this way...

"Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army was defeated in Shanxi, but our troops stationed in Mongolia severely damaged the main force of the Eighth Route Army near Datong.

In such a comparison, if we say that the combat effectiveness of our troops stationed in Mongolia is far superior to his first army, no one will object!"

The Japanese commander had a sweet dream. He even thought that after the complete defeat of Yoshio Shinozuka, he might be able to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the First Army, or even directly merge his First Army into his command of the Mongolian Army.

Here!

However, this old devil's dream was soon completely shattered.

After the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack on Datong began, the attacking troops became more and more fierce one after another.

Just after defending for less than six hours.

The Japanese officers stationed in Datong hurriedly sent a request for help message to the headquarters.

He also claimed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had extremely powerful combat capabilities, fierce artillery, and well-equipped equipment. If reinforcements did not arrive, Datong might even be completely lost.

When this news came, the Japanese commander was completely confused.

"Baga, how is this possible? It's just a small Yanbei detachment. How many troops are there on the Eighth Route Army attacking the city?"

In this regard, the reply given by the garrison stationed in Datong was: "Your Excellency, Commander, it seems that there was a regiment of Eighth Route Army attacking the city at first. Their equipment was very well-equipped and their artillery fire was fierce.

After the two waves of attacks were repelled by us, the Eighth Route Army troops that came up later seemed to have the strength of another regiment.

In this way, the opponent's attacks became more and more fierce. After seven or eight consecutive attacks, the troops on the opposite side were like a bottomless pit, constantly pouring out.

First, the south gate, then all the city gates in the east, west, north and west were attacked.
