    At this time, in the direction of Shanyin, the troops commanded by Yi Liangpin were fighting fiercely with the 32nd Division, but lacked enough infantry. Yi Liangpin could only command the tank cluster in his hands, and used the tactic of small-scale clusters to attack in turns.  The Japanese army in front of me.  That is to say, they cannot defeat the Japanese army in front of them, and they cannot escape the bite of the Japanese army in front of them.

    Even if they could not turn around and join the battle on the front lines of Mayi and Zhangzhuang, they could not break through the Japanese blockade and reinforce some troops of the 10th Division who were fighting hard in Yingxian County.  Although the Japanese army in front of him had an absolute advantage in strength, it did not have enough anti-tank weapons that could effectively destroy anti-alliance tanks.

    ???????? Even if there is nothing that can be done to Yi Liangpin in front of him, he cannot complete the plan to cut off the connection between Yingxian County and Shanyin.  Under the successive attacks of Yi Liangpin's tank clusters, they could only rely on the mountains to fight back.  At the same time, they continued to launch tactical counterattacks in an attempt to penetrate behind Yi Liangpin, attacking from both sides {{m) in order to drag the anti-alliance tank force to reinforce Yingxian County.

    The battle between the two sides at the junction of Shanyin and Yingxian was unprecedentedly fierce, but no one could do anything about the other.  Although Yi Liangpin organized his troops many times, he tried to take a detour to the Japanese army's rear.  However, because the mountainous terrain is too complex, the accessible routes are limited.  The Japanese army took the lead in occupying the main road for tanks to pass, and many roundabout attempts failed.

    Despite Chen Hanzhang's orders, Yi Liangpin was always required to guard the junction of Shanyin and Yingxian and entangle the Japanese army.  However, as the commander of the 1st Anti-Japanese Armored Division, although the Japanese army did not have a large-scale organic armored force to fight and was restricted by the terrain, he was unable to command all his forces during this battle.

    But as the commander of the first armored division of the Anti-Japanese War, Yi Liangpin was never willing to let his armored units be used scatteredly.  But whether the terrain of Shanxi is suitable for large-scale armored groups, Yi Liangpin, who is no stranger to Shanxi, still knows very well.

    This time it was rare to capture a Japanese regiment, and Yi Liangpin wanted to have a good fight.  But the insufficient number of infantry in his hands gave him a headache.  As a result, although the battle was fierce and the scene was vigorous, no one could do anything to anyone.  He had plenty of tanks, but a woefully inadequate number of infantry.

    Even if the Japanese army in front of them is only an infantry regiment, in complex terrain, tanks without infantry cover are basically destined to die.  Yi Liangpin already knew this problem well when he took over the First Armored Division.  As an armored division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he had heard No. 1 say more than once that any infantry unit with a modern industrial base could not be underestimated.

    A tank without infantry cover is a living target in battle.  Not only are they unable to play the role they should have, they may even suffer serious losses themselves.  The performance of the Japanese tanks is indeed very poor, and the number is generally not large.  But for an army like the Japanese that was brainwashed by Bushido and supported by a modern industrial base, the number of tanks does not represent the strength of its combat effectiveness.

    They can not only produce tanks in large quantities at any time when needed.  And they can develop and produce anti-tank weapons in sufficient quantities.  Even when necessary, their human bomb attacks will cause serious losses to tank groups without infantry cover.

    And the infantry strength was insufficient, so Yi Liangpin did not dare to take risks.  The fighting was raging north of Yanmen Pass, and he knew that if he let the regiment in front of him go, the battlefield there, which was already under great pressure, would easily collapse.  Yi Liangpin could only fight steadily and fight with the Japanese army in front of him.

    Yi Liangpin is operating steadily here, but the situation in Yingxian County to the west of Shanyin is getting more and more serious.  The main force of the 32nd Division was eager to open a deep road to northern Shanxi. As the situation developed, the offensive in the corresponding counties became more and more fierce.  In particular, Chen Hanzhang's interspersed operations against the front line 21st Division at Yanmen Pass were like poking a hornet's nest.

    After the battle started at Yanmen Pass, the already fierce offensive of the 32nd Division was intensified several times in a short period of time.  After the fall of Xinguangwu, they even gave up the usual infantry penetration attack tactics, and instead adopted a group charge of squadrons.

    And concentrated all artillery to bombard with all their strength in the southeast and south directions of Yingxian County.  And concentrate our forces to focus on attacking these two directions.  Trying to break through one point to drive the entire front, and concentrate troops to break through the southeast and due south directions, causing the entire defense system of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to collapse.

    The troops of the 10th Division, which had only a small number of troops and had become even more serious after many days of hard fighting, could no longer take care of the entire city defense. They had no choice but to abandon the city wall and retreat to the county town to rely on street fighting to delay the loss of Yingxian County as much as possible.  What troubles Sui Changqing, commander of the 10th Division, most is that it's not just the lack of troops.  Before the troops arrived in northern Shanxi and had no time to adjust, they were transferred to Ying County to fight.

    The ammunition has not yet been replenished and the equipment has not been replaced, just because the situation is tight.Zhang was transferred to Ying County.  The four battalions that arrived in Yingxian successively had only seven general-purpose machine guns, five rocket launchers, two large-caliber machine guns, five 60-guns, and no 82-type mortars and recoilless rifles.

    The attached mountain artillery battalion only had five mountain artillery pieces.  The subsequent artillery is still being transported by air.  The most critical thing is that the amount of ammunition carried is seriously insufficient. In addition to the ammunition carried by oneself, there will be no time to carry any supplementary ammunition in the future.  The original ammunition reserves in the city were less than 30,000 machine gun bullets.  There is a lot of Japanese-made light weapons and ammunition in reserve, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance cannot use it.

    When entering Yingxian City, the entire army only carried thirty rounds of 60 artillery shells and twenty-one rockets.  There are five mountain cannons, and all the cannonballs combined are less than a hundred.  The biggest headache for Sui Changqing in the city now is not even the lack of troops, but the serious shortage of ammunition.

    After giving up the defense of the city wall, in some positions, the troops could only replace their automatic rifles with captured Japanese 38 rifles.  Transfer the remaining part of all standard ammunition to the squad machine gun for use.  To ensure that the machine gun firepower can be maintained.

    But despite the critical situation, Sui Changqing in Shanyin City insisted that the newly-organized troops of the 10th Division being trained in the mountainous area north of the city continue to train as planned. Even if the Japanese army had completely occupied Yingxian County, they were absolutely not allowed to transfer a single unit.  Soldiers entered the city for reinforcements.

    Sui Changqing¡¯s attitude was very clear. The entire division would first be reorganized according to the plan.  After the reorganization was completed, the division political commissar and deputy division commander who gathered the follow-up troops immediately commanded the right flank to forcibly outflank the 32nd Division's rear.  He and the division chief of staff commanded the only troops to hold back the main force of the 32nd Division.

    Although after arriving at the battlefield in northern Shanxi, Chen Hanzhang's task for the 10th Division was to hold back the 32nd Division.  So that the main force can fight against the 21st Division without any interference.  However, after Sui Changqing carefully analyzed the situation on the surrounding battlefields, he did not think that his responsibility ended here.

    Although the current battlefield is partially unfavorable, the overall battle situation is relatively favorable. It is his style to let him be beaten honestly in Ying County.  Although the situation here is deteriorating very quickly, the overall strength of the Japanese army is not too large.

    Especially the Japanese troops in front of them were only two regiments.  Two regiments were nothing in Sui Changqing's eyes.  Although the Japanese troops on the right wing were large, they were firmly restrained by Du Kaishan and unable to send reinforcements.  The 21st Division to the west is being besieged by the troops commanded by Commander Chen.  The two regiments of the 32nd Division were almost fighting alone, which made Sui Changqing very excited.

    ???????????????????????????? Even though I am struggling to support myself with my inferior military strength, the past few days can be said to be quite difficult.  However, after these two or three days of fighting, although I suffered a lot of casualties, the Japanese 32nd Division on the opposite side was not going to have a very easy time either.

    ¡°The two battalions of my old army are all veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives. They have absolutely no quality in terms of military or political quality.  And what kind of troops are those two battalions transferred from the headquarters security regiment?  It is a unit known as the training base for scout cadres of the entire army. Its individual combat skills and company and platoon tactics are well-known in the entire army.

    They are all veterans. Platoon leaders from other units who are transferred to this unit can only serve as squad leaders.  Its combat style is extremely fierce, its combat effectiveness is extremely tenacious, not to mention its skills and tactics.  The whole body is covered with long and short weapons, and the combat power of a company is as high as that of a battalion of ordinary troops.

    Such a unit has indeed suffered heavy casualties if it persists in the past few days.  But he, Sui Changqing, didn't believe that the Japanese army in front of him would make his life any easier.  Although his own losses were considerable, over the past few days, the casualties of the attacking Japanese army could only be greater.

    This was a famous militant during the Anti-Japanese War.  Moreover, as a chief of staff, he has always been known for his meticulous thinking and calm analysis of any situation.  From the deputy director of the Headquarters Operations Department to the 10th Division as the division commander.  Because of his abilities, his Tenth Division has always fought on the main battlefield.

    After the First Battle of Xingjing, due to excessive casualties and losses of the troops, as well as a lack of replacement troops, they had been waiting in the rear for nearly a month.  Seeing his brother's troops fighting in full swing, but he could only stare at him because he had no replacement soldiers, how could he be so willing to play a supporting role in this battle?  How could he, who had always been the main force in the Northeast battlefield and only played a supporting role in northern Shanxi, swallow this sigh of relief.

    Although my current troops are all new troops.  But when it was organized, the structure was complete.  There is even an entire regiment, fully integrated into its own army.  Although it is an engineering regiment, it is organized into its own army.  Although there is a certain shortage of heavy weapons, the gap is not too big.

    And although most of the various units incorporated intoThey are all from the security force, but they have all completed the training syllabus.  The engineering regiment was also fully staffed and completed all military training.  Moreover, in accordance with the regulations and orders of the Anti-Japanese League, the military cadres of this engineering corps are fully equipped and have received strict training.

    Although all those technical personnel have been transferred out before being incorporated into the army, the transfer of these people has no impact on the combat effectiveness.  After all, this is to bring the establishment into the battlefield, not to build airports and roads.  Those technical personnel went to the battlefield, but it delayed things.

    The most important thing is that the current army, especially the transferred guard troops, has a high proportion of veterans who have experienced actual combat. It can even be said that the proportion of veterans in the army is currently the highest.  There are even quite a few who are veterans who have been in the army for two years.  The combat effectiveness of those troops is very strong.

    It was precisely because of the calm analysis and judgment on these issues that Sui Changqing believed that although the troops were now organized, the decline in combat effectiveness was limited.  Even because of the proportion of veterans incorporated into the army, there has been some improvement in some aspects.

    He believed that when facing the two Japanese regiments in front of him, after all the troops arrived, he still had the strength to fight.  Although it is difficult to annihilate them all, there is no problem in defeating them.  Especially on the premise that he can still apply for tank and air support from Commander Chen, it is still possible to fight a rout
