Check in from the bright sword

"Your Excellency, Commander, is as good as God." Miyano Michiichi praised, and said, "What a pity, if nothing happened to the 26th Cavalry Regiment and the 41st Cavalry Regiment, the gap in the northwest direction can be blocked at this time. In this case, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will become a turtle in an urn, and there will be no escape."

Okamura Ningji said: "Without these two cavalry regiments, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would not be able to escape."

"Order, the 37th Division will immediately build a blockade along the west bank of the Fen River with the brigade as the unit!"

"The 26th Division also immediately divided its troops into units, and built a tight blockade line in Beixiaodian Township, Zhuangmo Township, and Yangxing Township, blocking the Eighth Route Army's escape route to the north."

"Except for one part of the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division advancing in the direction of Taiyuan, the main force turned to the north, and built a blockade line from Jieshou Township to Xiyan Town as soon as possible, blocking the eastward escape route of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"Except for one part of the 41st Division advancing towards Taiyuan in coordination with the 3rd Brigade, the main force turned to Yuci and Xiaodian, blocking the route of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to the south!"

"The 110th Division and the 8th Brigade continue to speed up."

"Aviation scouts continue to strengthen air security and closely monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army."

"This time, no matter what, we must encircle and wipe out the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army near Taiyuan!"

"Hai!" Tsuneo Nishino nodded heavily, then turned around and hurried back to the communication class to give orders to the divisions, brigades, and the 3rd Aviation Regiment.

After the 4th Battalion is in charge, it will stay in Xiluo Town to stop the 3rd Brigade of Devils.

When Li Yunlong and Wang Yan arrived, the 4th Battalion had just repelled an attack by the devils.

Seeing Li Yunlong and Wang Yan, Zhang Dabiao was a little surprised: "Head, why are you back?"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Da Biao, how are your casualties in the 4th Battalion?"

"It's okay." Zhang Dabiao said, "More than 20 people died in battle, and more than 50 people were injured."

Li Yunlong said: "Give the wounded to the health team, you gather the remaining troops and prepare to attack."

"Attack?" Zhang Dabiao said in astonishment, "Regimental Commander, the devils are attacking now, and our independent regiment is defending."

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Li Yunlong said coldly, "At this point in the battle, we can do nothing but attack!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao raised his expression and shouted, "All bayonets, ready to attack!"

Li Yunlong said to Yu Chengzhu who came over out of breath: "Zhuzi, the mortar companies of the 4 infantry battalions will also be under your unified command later. Before the 4th battalion launches an attack, your artillery battalion must shoot out all the shells! Not a single one left! After shooting all the shells, blow up all the mountain cannons and rapid-fire guns, and take away only the mortar!"

Mountain cannons and rapid-fire cannons need to be disassembled first, and then transported, and time has not allowed.

And now there are not enough mules and horses.

The independent regiment originally had more than 1000 mules and horses, but Zhao Gang took most of them away in order to rush to transport supplies in Taiyuan City. Now there are only more than 100 mules left in the regiment.

There are not enough bullets for these more than 100 mules and horses.

The 5 mortars of the 33 mortar companies all had to be carried by the artillery.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to take away the more bulky rapid-fire guns and mountain cannons.

It is not even possible to take all 33 mortars away, because it would be too late.

When Yu Chengzhu heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Commander, it's a pity that such a good rapid-fire gun and mountain gun were blown up, why don't you take it with you?"

"No!" Li Yunlong flatly refused, "Mountain guns and rapid-fire guns are not allowed."

"You can't take all the mortars with you, just take nine 9mm mortars made in Japan."

"The rest of the Jin-made 82 mortars, together with the mountain guns and rapid-fire guns, were all blown up."

Seeing Yu Chengzhu's distress, Wang Yan persuaded: "Zhuzi, don't feel bad, as long as you are here, there are not many guns? The devil doesn't have many other things, just have more guns! Don't say it's a mountain gun then , rapid-fire guns, field howitzers and Italian guns, our Spike team will definitely find a way for you."

"Consultant Wang, that's what you said." Yu Chengzhu hurriedly said.

"I told you." Wang Yan said with a smile, "If you can't find me."

Li Yunlong said: "Okay, Zhuzi, hurry back and get ready!"

"Yes!" Yu Chengzhu turned and left, finally not in such a bad mood.

Because Wang Yan had already promised him that if he wanted to help him get a howitzer, there would be Italian guns.

Staff Officer Wang's reputation is still good, at least so far he hasn't broken his promise.

After a while, the muffled sound of "tom tom tom" sounded from the artillery position of the independent regiment.

Chapter 334 Surprise

Wangjiayu, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Boss Peng hurried into the war room, threw the weapon in his hand on the table, and the left deputy chief of staff who was working at his desk was immediately alarmed.

"Boss, are you back?"

Boss Peng hummed and asked, "Did something go wrong in Brigade 386?"

"Yes, something went wrong." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said, "The 37th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly appeared in Jinyuan, disrupting all the plans of the 386th Brigade at once."

"What? The 37th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly appeared in Jinyuan?"

"Yes, these devils are very cunning. They took a detour from a small path and caught the 386th Brigade by surprise."

"This is troublesome. It is definitely impossible to defend Taiyuan. The 386th Brigade Headquarters and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who stayed in Taiyuan are not a big problem, but they stayed in Changning Town, Xiluo Town and Xiaodian to fight against the independent army. The regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment are in serious trouble, and they might be made dumplings by devils!"

"Who says no?" The left deputy chief of staff also said worriedly, "The current situation is that the Independent Regiment, New First Regiment, and New Second Regiment have been fully deployed and are entangled by the Japanese 3rd Brigade and 41st Division."

"Unless these three regiments are broken up into pieces, it will be difficult to disengage."

"At this time, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly appeared behind them."

"One mistake, these three regiments may have been made dumplings by the Japanese army."

Boss Peng's eyes fell on the map, and he saw that the left deputy chief of staff had marked four small red arrows on the map with a red pencil. Although the specific directions of these four small red arrows were different, their approximate directions were Unanimous, all point to the Shanxi-Sui border area in the northwest of Shanxi.

Boss Peng understood in seconds, and asked with a frown, "The 386 brigade decided to break up into parts and break through separately?"

"Yes." The left deputy chief of staff nodded and said again, "What does the boss think? This method won't work?"

"Not really." Boss Peng shook his head and said, "I just think that this is an unavoidable solution, and it's better not to use it unless it's a last resort."

"After all, the price to be paid for breaking the whole into parts is too heavy."

"The 386th Brigade managed to get to where it is today, but once it breaks through into parts, it's almost like overthrowing and starting over."

"Yes." Zuo Deputy Chief of Staff nodded and said again, "But now is the last resort, otherwise these three regiments will be made dumplings by the devil."

"That's right." Boss Peng deeply agreed, "There is really no better way."
