Since the Beiping City was taken down, all the big and small counties in the Beiping area were wiped out by Deng successfully, so that there is no established Japanese troops near Beiping now. Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who did not want to affect the pursuit operation because of the recovery of these small counties, often used to wipe these counties with militia defenses and headed straight for the Northeast Division troops that were about to flee from Tongxian.

When the Japanese 21st Division was entering the Fengtai territory, the Japanese soldiers who had been rushing for several hours overnight were undoubtedly much slower. Many Japanese soldiers who had not had a rest fell to the ground and slept soundly as they walked. For these Japanese soldiers who could not hold on, they were responsible for leading them to see the Japanese grassroots commanders, and they could only send people to carry them to the car for a turnover.

Seeing the dark sunlight in the morning floating on the horizon, many Japanese soldiers holding torches were finally able to discard the torches that made them raise their hands sorely. But the sunlight that gradually rose still made the Japanese feel relieved. After all, this is the beginning of a new day. As long as they chase the main militia unit today, they might be able to take a good rest.

Unfortunately, their expectations seemed a bit extravagant. The division cavalry corps at the forefront of the marching, many Japanese cavalry sitting on the army saw a few cavalry sitting on horseback sleeping on horseback in front of them, and were blown up to the sky by a sudden explosion.

Damn it! I'm stepping on the mine again!

The cavalrymen who seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of cavalry quickly stopped their marching and immediately notified the engineer troops behind to come to clear the mines. If the mines in front were not removed, their cavalry were undoubtedly seeking death when they marched.

Compared to Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi's furiousness, many Japanese soldiers with weak feet suddenly breathed easily, collapsed on the ground, quickly fell to the ground with no image, and fell asleep. When they fell asleep, many Japanese soldiers were looking forward to it. This would be better to have more landmines buried by the militia troops, so that they could have enough time to hit a small bed.

This kind of paralysis that ignored the image of a soldier was not allowed by the Japanese grassroots commander who was originally leading the team, but as soon as he trained a soldier who was lying on his sleep, at least two or three soldiers fell to rest. Over time, this sleepiness spread to all the Japanese infantrymen who were marching.

The grassroots commanders who knew that they were really too tired also finally stopped the action of pulling the soldiers up and standing up when they heard that the minefields set up by the militia in front seemed a little large. Some grassroots commanders who were also tired all over also found a hidden corner like soldiers and narrowed their eyes to rest.

After investigation by the Engineer Regiment, when a minefield of nearly one kilometer was paved on the road ahead, Lieutenant General Tianji's anger naturally rose. But he knew that it would be useless to get angry. After all, the landmines were buried, what could you do?

There was no choice but to let these infantry marching, and the engineers sat in the car to rest. He immediately ordered all engineers to enter the minefield as soon as possible to perform mine clearance operations. Try to solve the minefield ahead as soon as possible to prevent the main militia troops who were also escaping faster and from marching distance from them.

When he turned around to inspect the army, Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi was seeing soldiers lying around him, he was about to be angry and followed the chief of staff who was following him, "Secretary Commander, our soldiers are too lucky to march for a long distance. Anyway, it takes some time for the engineering corps to remove the mines now, so let them have a short rest!"

When he felt that what the Chief of Staff said was indeed reasonable, he looked at the staff members around him and turned their eyes into rabbit eyes. Finally, he could only sigh helplessly: "Chief of Staff, I feel that in our current state, even if we catch up with the main militia forces, there is no way to attack and fight. Alas! Why did these damn Chinese militias demolish our railway? It's so hateful that we can only march through this kind of marching!"

Isn’t this nonsense? As an opponent, how can it be possible to not do some damage?

The Chief of Staff did not dare to say anything, and nodded in agreement: "The division commander said it well. These militias are really hateful! But it is already too bright now, and I believe that the air force will be sent to conduct reconnaissance and bombing. Compared to the difficulty of our marching at night, the actions of these militias during the day will be seriously affected. At that time, we can still reduce the distance between us and them."

After hearing the Chief of Staff’s comfort, Lieutenant General Tian Jiu seemed relieved and said, “Well, the Chief of Staff is right. After two hours, it will be dawn. Let’s see how the main Chinese militia forces run? If he can run, can he still run through the bombing of the plane?”

Just when the two division commanders were waiting for the engineer corps to clear mines, the Japanese marching troops, which were no longer sleeping sounds, seemed extremely quiet.

Compared to the exhaustion of the Japanese long-distance marching, the main militia troops who had already been waiting in front of them. When the Japanese Engineer Regiment carried out mine clearance, the artillery division had adjusted the shelling parameters. Waiting for these Japanese devils who were not vigilant would be a nightmare that would make them shudder.

Deng Chenggong, who had just had a nap in the ambush position, was already energetic and looked at the Japanese troops not far ahead, shook the phone number of the temporary command center and said to the microphone: "How are your artillery ready? Can you carry out artillery? There is not much time left for us to attack."

The artillery division commander on the other end of the phone quickly said: "Commander, the artillery division has made all preparations before the shelling and can carry out shelling at any time."

Deng Chenggong nodded to the phone and said, "Okay, then you can use your shells to get up! After this battle, your artillery division can also take a good rest. Don't be reluctant to beat me hard. As before, stop the shells and evacuate you first. Don't let the Japanese plane bite. Do you understand?"

The artillery division commander smiled on the phone and said, "Yes, commander, I remember it!"

Deng Chenggong said with a rare smile: "Then start shelling!"

As the phone was put down, the artillery division commander immediately notified all artillery positions that the first round of artillery could be carried out. For the Japanese who did not indicate any danger in front, what awaited them would be a unilateral massacre.

Lieutenant General Takuchi, who was having a great time, suddenly heard a deafening whistling sound not far away. Before he could react, the Japanese army that stretched for several kilometers was awakened by the whistling explosion. Compared to the Japanese who were awakened by the bomb, they were dodged in a panic and panic, many Japanese soldiers who were directly bombed by artillery shells died in their sleep.

Lieutenant General Tajiki, who also realized that he had been ambushed, immediately screamed at the Japanese troops who seemed a little confused to defend. At this time, he realized that there were not many places to hide from the place where he was blocked by the minefield. It was completely empty plains! It was probably not easy to find a mountain, which made the Japanese troops that had become soft-legged shrimps hide there?

Compared to the 21st Japanese Division, which realized that they were ambushed, the artillery shells that kept falling like hail made their entire division confusing formation, and they could not form an effective defense arrangement at all. As for the engineer corps that were staying in front of them, the minefield that was directly detonated was consumed almost the same. The artillery corps and armored corps in the division also became the key opponents of the artillery divisions to strike.

Lieutenant General Tian Kuichi, who was suppressed by dense artillery fire, felt so painful when he looked at the chariots and heavy artillery that were constantly destroyed by artillery shells! Not to mention how uncomfortable he was, but he could only hide in a cannon pit under the protection of the chief of staff of the division and other officers, waiting for the intensive artillery fire that could not stop would end.

When the Japanese 21st Division was attacked by the artillery division for half an hour, the originally well-equipped main division had become in ruins. Just when Lieutenant General Tian Kuroichi was glad that the artillery fire finally stopped, the roar sounded in front made his face disappear again.

Armored units of the militia column!

Realizing that the Japanese intelligence forces provided them with the fate of the militia column from Tongxian to northeastern North China was not the main force of the militia column. The ambushing force in front of them was the main force of attacking the city of Beiping. General Tian Jiuyi knew that waiting for their 21st Division would be like the Fourth Division, which was a shameful sign.

The division command system, which was already in a paralysis, saw the armored convoy of militia columns that were quickly approaching them, the surviving cavalry turned their horses and prepared to escape. This kind of armored chariot group charges, and when they lose artillery and armored units to block, their cavalry and infantry can only wait for death.

Fortunately, these surviving cavalry were somewhat loyal and knew that they would look for their division commander Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi. As long as Tian Jiuyi was not dead, their 21st Division would sooner or later be rebuilt. They would not have been permanently revoked by the Japanese army like the Fourth Division of the Japanese army.

Faced with the pleas of the Japanese chief of staff and the commanders of the corps around him, Lieutenant General Tajikichi, who was originally planning to fight the militia column, finally could only ride a horse and retreat behind under the protection of the cavalry corps. The only troops left to block were the few armored tanks in their division armored corps.
