Check in from the bright sword

The left deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, I'm not worried about the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, but I'm worried about the Independent Regiment."

"Are you worried that Li Yunlong, an idiot, will disobey orders?" Boss Peng asked with a smile, "It's the same as the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, refusing to break it up into pieces and split up, instead of trying to break through from the front?"

"Yes." The left deputy chief of staff said, "I'm more worried that he will break out from the east!"

"Break out from the east? Facing the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 8th Brigade and 110th Division that are about to rush to the battlefield?" Boss Peng nodded slightly, and then said, "Don't tell me, Li Yunlong is still a fool. It's really a bit of a stupefaction, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but he prefers to go to the mountains with tigers, this possibility is really not small."

The left deputy chief of staff said: "But this time is very different from the blocking battle at Cangyun Ridge."

"In the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, the Xinyi Regiment faced only the Sakata Regiment, but this time, the Independent Regiment faced two Japanese brigades and a field division!"

"In this case, breaking out from the front is simply a narrow escape!"

Boss Peng said solemnly: "But from the perspective of the art of war, this is actually an opportunity."

"Because the devils don't believe that the independent regiment dares to break through from the east, so it has the advantage of being caught by surprise."

"Coupled with the artillery firepower possessed by the Independent Regiment, there may be a chance to break through the temporary blockade line built by the 3rd Brigade and break through the encirclement!"

The left deputy chief of staff said in astonishment: "Boss, do you support this?"

"Yes, this time I support Li Yunlong." Boss Peng nodded.

As Boss Peng said, the Japanese army did not believe that the independent regiment dared to break through from the east.

The brigade leader of the 3rd Brigade, Maori Suehiro, waved his hand and said to the Chief of Staff Fusuo Iimura: "Mr. Iimura, your worries are unnecessary. The Eighth Route Army knows that there are 8th Brigade and 110th Brigade behind us. Division, so unless the independent regiment is tired of working, it is impossible to choose to break out from the east."

"If my expectations are correct, the independent group should choose Mashou Township, or Jieshou Township in the north of Shouyang County to break through."

"Of course, the independent regiment may also choose to break out from Mafang Township in the southeast, which is the joint between our 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division."

"That's why I ordered the 6th Brigade of the Independent Infantry to reinforce Mafang Township."

"At the same time, order the 9th and 10th Brigades of the Independent Infantry to go out to Mashou Township to relieve their sorrow."

Fufu Iimura frowned slightly, and said: "Brigade commander, but now there is only the 8th Independent Infantry Battalion left in the front, is this too dangerous?"

"If the independent regiment breaks out from the front, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Iimura-kun, there's nothing wrong with it." Mori Suehiro waved his hand and said, "I just said that unless the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment intends to seek death, it is impossible for them to break through from the front to the east."

"The most likely situation is that the independent regiment will break up into pieces and break out from the northeast."

"So it is necessary to transfer the 9th and 10th Brigades of the Independent Infantry to Mashou Township to relieve the sorrow."

While the two old devils were talking, there was suddenly a booming explosion in front of them, and the explosion was very dense. It sounded like a large-scale artillery group was shelling.

"What's the situation? Is this the independent regiment shelling?"

The expressions of the two old devils suddenly changed, and they rushed out of the command post in a hurry.

When they came outside the gate and raised their binoculars, the two old devils could almost see at a glance that the position of the 8th Brigade of the Independent Infantry was completely shrouded in smoke from shell explosions.

Looking at this momentum, there must be at least 30 or more artillery pieces!

In an instant, the expressions of Mori Suehiro and Iimura Takeo changed.

At this time, even an idiot can see that the independent group really wants to break through from the front!

"Bagagayaro!" Mori Suehiro let out a Japanese curse from between his teeth, and gritted his teeth again, "The Independence Regiment is really reckless, and actually broke through from the east!"

Fukao Iimura said: "Brigade commander, do you want to quickly send the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade back to the brigade headquarters?"

"It's too late." Mori Suehiro shook his head and said, "The 9th and 10th Battalions of the Independent Infantry are walking on a mountain road. Instead of letting them toss back and forth, it's better to stand by and wait for help."

"After all, the 8th Brigade has arrived in Shouyang."

"It's only twenty kilometers away from here."

Chapter 335

When Zhao Gang rushed to the Drum Tower with the guard squad, he found that the brigade commander was still there.

Zhao Gang became anxious and said, "Brigade Commander, why haven't you left yet? Hurry up and leave."

The brigade commander burned the pieces in a leisurely manner, and asked Zhao Gang, "Have you finished distributing the rest of the food?"

"There is no time." Zhao Gang shook his head, and said again, "We will simply open the warehouse and let the people in the city use it. Anyway, we can't leave a grain of food to the devils."

"Where is the 358th regiment?" The brigade commander asked again, "Has it been withdrawn?"

"It has already been withdrawn." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "The brigade department has not withdrawn."

While the two were talking, the brigade commander had already burnt the few files that were originally there, and said, "Zhao Gang, please check again to see if there is anything missing."

"Brigadier, hurry up, I will check."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gang asked the guards behind him to protect the brigade commander and leave.

After the brigade commander left, Zhao Gang checked the inside and outside of the Drum Tower again, and after making sure that there were no useful parts left behind, he got out of the Drum Tower, got on his horse, and came towards the locked door.

As a result, just after arriving at the gate of the city, two plainclothes people suddenly appeared in the alley next to them.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang's reaction has also been practiced. Seeing the pistol in the plainclothes hand, he instinctively stomped to hide.

Hearing two gunshots, the horse under Zhao Gang's crotch was shot and fell to the ground, but Zhao Gang escaped by chance, and then used the fallen horse as a cover to shoot at the two plainclothes men. .

One magazine was finished quickly, but it got stuck when changing the magazine.

Seeing this, the two plainclothes people on the opposite side immediately surrounded them one by one from the left and one from the right.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the city gate, and immediately a cavalry rushed in like a wind and electric motor. The first cavalry was covered in blood, and it was Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Sun Desheng saw Zhao Gang at a glance, and immediately yelled: "Kill!"

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the two plainclothes turned around and wanted to run away, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Desheng had already caught up with him on his horse, chopped left and then right, and the heads of two plainclothes men fell to the ground, turning into two headless corpses lying on Dabeimen Street.

"Political commissar, get on your horse and follow us, the devil will arrive as soon as you speak."

As Sun Desheng said, he signaled his subordinates to bring a military horse.

Seeing that it was an extra military horse, Zhao Gang was not polite, and quickly got on the horse.

When leaving the city gate, Zhao Gang asked, "Where are the other soldiers in the cavalry battalion? Are you the only ones left?"

"How is that possible?" Sun Desheng said, "The cavalry companies of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have already returned to their respective establishments."
