After finishing speaking, Wang Yan took out a red pencil, made a few marks on the map, and said: "Look, commander, this is the New Second Regiment, and the New First Regiment and the Artillery Regiment are in the middle. The regiment is on the right."

"Because the original plan was to retreat to Taiyuan, our three main regiments protected the artillery regiment and shrank in the middle in a fan shape, so that when we retreated to Taiyuan, we would just enter the city from Cheng'en Gate and Dadong Gate."

"The advantage of this is that they can form flank protection for each other."

"Each main group only needs to deal with the devils in the front."

"The artillery regiment has enough time to retreat calmly."

"The reaction of the Devil's 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division was just the opposite. Because the frontal offensive was blocked, they continued to divide their forces and detour from the two wings."

"The 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division are now completely connected."

"So now, going east, going south is completely blocked."

"Even if it is broken into parts, there is no gap to drill at all."

"At present, there is only a certain gap in the northwest of Shanxi, because there is still a gap between the devils who went south from Datong, the 37th Division of the Devils, the 3rd Brigade of the Devils, and the 41st Division of the Devils."

"However, it is impossible to break out of the system."

"Because the breakout of the established system is easy to be targeted by devils and then surrounded."

"After all, it's daytime now, and we can't hide from the devil's aerial reconnaissance at all."

"So, the meaning of the brigade is to break up the whole into parts and disperse the encirclement towards the northwest of Shanxi."

"No!" Li Yunlong categorically vetoed, "It is impossible to break the whole into parts! I would rather fight the devils than break the whole into pieces!"

Wang Yan said: "In this case, our independent group cannot go north or west."

"You don't need to say more about this." Li Yunlong said, "Going north or west is a dead end. At that time, the devil behind the buttocks has not had time to get rid of it, and the devil will encounter a strong enemy ahead. Let alone a group of us, just The entire 129th division is here, I'm afraid it will be a dead end."

"Besides, if we go north or west, wouldn't that add to the chaos?"

"The gap is only that big. Three regiments and a thousand people from the brigade are crowded together. How can this be done?"

"Only by breaking out in other directions can the independent regiment better cover the brigade headquarters and Lao Ding and Lao Kong to break through smoothly."

"Then there is only one way to break through to the east, break through the blockade of the 3rd Brigade and break out from the front!" Wang Yan said, "Because the 41st Division of the Devils is to the south, facing the main division of the Devils, our independent regiment still can't beat it of."

"But there is also a problem going east. Behind the 3rd Brigade, there are still Japanese troops coming over."

"Although there is no exact information support, I don't know how many Japanese troops are coming from Zhengding."

"But in my estimation, at least one brigade is needed. In other words, even if we break through the blockade of the 3rd brigade, we have to face another brigade of the Japanese army again!"

"This is only the most optimistic estimate."

"If the Japanese army from Zhengding has a division, it will be even more troublesome."

"What's worse, we don't know where the devil who is coming over is now?"

"Is there still a considerable distance from the 3rd Brigade? Or is it not far away?"

"What I'm afraid of is that after finally breaking through the blockade of the 3rd Brigade, we will encounter the Japanese army that is coming head-on. If this happens, we will fall into a desperate situation in an instant."

"That's better than breaking it into pieces." Li Yunlong said with a snort.

Speaking of this meal, Li Yunlong said again: "Come on, follow me to the 4th battalion camp."

In Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Alley.

Michi Miyano said to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, the aviation scouts reported that a large number of corpses of imperial soldiers were found near Moshigou. It should be the 26th Cavalry Regiment without accident."

"Baga!" Although Neiji Okamura was mentally prepared for this.

But after hearing the bad news, it was still a little hard to accept.

how can that be possible?The three main regiments of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are all on the front line of Luoxi Town, and there are only some militiamen in Gujiao County, and there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army at all!

At best there was a small force of cavalry.

Can the Eighth Route Army cavalry with hundreds of people defeat the 26th Cavalry Regiment?

With a muffled snort, Neiji Okamura then asked, "What about the 41st Cavalry Regiment?"

"The 41st Cavalry Regiment hasn't been discovered yet." Miyano Michi shook his head and said again, "However, even the 26th Cavalry Regiment has suffered accidents, and the 41st Cavalry Regiment may be the only one."

Miyano Michiichi didn't continue to say the following words.

But what he meant was already very clear. The 26th Cavalry Regiment, a full-scale regiment with 4 cavalry squadrons, encountered accidents, so let alone the 41st Cavalry Regiment, a remnant regiment with only 2 cavalry squadrons.

You can think with your toes that the 41st Cavalry Regiment must have followed in the footsteps of the 26th Cavalry Regiment.

Chapter 333 No way to escape

"Ignore that for now."

Neiji Okamura exhaled a turbid breath, and said: "Now let's analyze the most likely countermeasures that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will take next."

Miyano Michiichi said: "At least it is impossible to defend Taiyuan."

"That's for sure." Ningji Okamura nodded, "Now the 37th Division is closer to Taiyuan, and it is confronting the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division on the front lines of Xiaodian, Changning Town and Xiluo Town If the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army continues to retreat in the direction of Taiyuan, it will definitely be surrounded outside Taiyuan in the end."

Miyano Michiichi said: "Therefore, the most likely countermeasure for the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is to break through to the east."

"It would be great if the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really went east." Neiji Okamura said, "Even if they break through the blockade of the 3rd Brigade, they will face the coming 8th Brigade and the 110th Division. collide."

Speaking of this, Neiji Okamura went on to say: "However, I think it is unlikely that they will break through to the east."

"Don't go east to break through?" Miyano Michiichi frowned, "Could it be that they have the confidence to break through the blockade of the 41st Division?"

"It won't go south either." Neiji Okamura waved his hand and said, "Although the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army captured a few cannons, they will never be so arrogant as to think that they can break through the blockade of the 41st Division head-on."

Miyano Michiichi said: "Neither east nor south, where can they go?"

"Break out from the west and north directions." Neiji Okamura said firmly, "while the 37th Division has not followed the 26th Division going south, the 3rd Brigade going west and the 41st Division going north, Form an encirclement, quickly break it up into parts, and break through the gaps between several divisions and brigades."

"This is also a consistent tactic used by the Eighth Route Army in the face of blockades."

Before the words were finished, Tsuneo Nishino, the communication staff officer, hurried in.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tsuneo Nishino walked in front of Ningji Okamura and said, "The 41st Division sent an urgent call. The Eighth Route Army in the direction of Xiaodian and Changning Town has been broken up and dispersed to break through!"

"Nani?" Miyano Michiichi was taken aback, "Is it really broken into pieces?"

Neiji Okamura chuckled and said, "This is also the expected result."
