Check in from the bright sword

Sure enough, the more he was afraid of something, the more he would come. Neiji Okamura was worried about the failure of chasing down the independent group, Tsuneo Nishino came out of the communication class with a dark face.

"brush!"

The gazes of Okamura Neiji, Miyano Michiichi, and Tokunaga Shikanosuke all fell on Tsuneo Nishino's face.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tsuneo Nishino said, "I just received an urgent telegram from the 108th Infantry Brigade. The independent regiment has broken through the blockade and disappeared into the mountains of Xipan Township. The pursuit of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has failed! "

The war room suddenly became deathly silent, only the clock on the wall made a ticking sound.

Including Miyano Doichi, everyone was silent, they were all waiting for Neiji Okamura to explode.

Okamura Ningji should really be angry, because in the First World War in Taiyuan, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese First Army in Shanxi. Under the premise that the 26th Division participated in the battle, most of the 8th Brigade broke through!

For the Japanese army, this was simply an unprecedented fiasco!

To borrow a Chinese slang, I really lost even my underwear!

However, Neiji Okamura did not get angry after all, he managed to control his emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Neiji Okamura turned his head and said to Miyano Michiichi: "Miyano-kun, inform the 3rd Flying Regiment of the Air Force to prepare a Type [-] attack aircraft. I will fly to Taiyuan and leave this morning!"

"Hai!" Miyano Michichi nodded heavily.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the northwest of Shanxi Province, within the territory of Jing County.

The brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has temporarily settled down in a small village called Shitougou.

"Brigade Commander, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have been contacted." Yuan Qinglin, the communications company commander, ran in panting.

"Finally contacted." The brigade commander said anxiously, "How is the situation of the new first regiment and the new second regiment? Are there any serious casualties?"

"The casualties are quite heavy." Yuan Qinglin replied, "The new second regiment has lost more than two-thirds of its staff, leaving only 500 members in the whole regiment, and the new first regiment has also reduced its staff by half, leaving only a thousand people."

The Brigadier's face immediately collapsed, damn it!

Yuan Qinglin continued: "The independent group still can't get in touch."

The brigade commander said: "The independent regiment must have broken out from the direction of Xinkou and Ping'an County. I asked you to go to Xinkou and Ping'an County to find them. Did you send someone to look for them?"

"A dozen groups of messengers have been dispatched, but they have not been found." Yuan Qinglin said.

The Brigadier's face turned black all of a sudden, and a bad premonition faintly floated up.

Could it be that the independent group was kicked out again as soon as the idea came up.

how can that be possible? The 386 brigade was wiped out, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment will not be wiped out either!

This kid has never suffered a loss in war, and this time will definitely be no exception, yes, it must be like this!

Yuan Qing didn't think so, and said in a low voice: "Brigade Commander, a dozen or so communications soldiers failed to find the independent regiment. I think the independent regiment may have been captured by the devils."

"Impossible!" The brigade commander said decisively, "Absolutely impossible."

As soon as the words fell, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "I want to see the Brigadier, Brigadier!"

Then the guard's voice sounded: "You can't go in, I have to check your ID first, stop! You stop for me! You still break in, and I will not be polite to you if you break in again!"

The brigade commander asked: "What's going on outside? Who wants to see me?"

The loud voice just now rang again: "I am the brigade commander, and I belong to the independent regiment!"

"Independent regiment?!" The brigade commander's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said anxiously, "Let him in!"

The figure flashed, and a tall and strong figure walked in, stood at attention and saluted the brigade commander: "Brigade commander!"

"Isn't this Monk Wei?" The brigade commander recognized Wei Dayong at a glance, and asked anxiously, "Monk, has your independent group rushed out of the encirclement?"

Wei Dayong said: "Report to the brigade commander, we have rushed out."

"The head of the regiment is afraid that you, the brigade commander, are worried, so he specially asked me to come here to report to you."

"This guy found me, and after three days of searching, he finally found the brigade department."

"Wolf Lituan also rushed out? That's great!" The brigade commander immediately lifted his expression, and said again, "Are there too many casualties?"

"Casualties?" Wei Dayong's face collapsed, and he said sadly, "The casualties are still quite large."

Chapter 349

The brigade commander asked: "How many people are left?"

Wei Dayong said: "There are only more than 1500 people left."

The brigade commander asked again: "What about the loss of weapons and equipment?"

Wei Dayong said: "Throw away all the cannons, rapid-fire guns, grenades, and heavy machine guns. There is only one mortar left, and there are more than 1 light machine guns left! There are more than 100 rifles left."

The brigade commander asked again: "Where's the cavalry battalion? How many people are left?"

Wei Dayong said: "In order to cover the main force of the regiment, the cavalry battalion fought a fierce battle with the devils and a cavalry regiment. In the end, there were less than 30 cavalry left."

"Damn it!" The brigade commander was so angry that he picked up his horsewhip and lashed the wooden table hard.

This time their 386 brigade really suffered a big loss. Except for the 772 regiment organized into the southward detachment and the guard battalion, the troops remaining in Taiyuan suffered to varying degrees.

The situation of several teams directly under the brigade headquarters is not bad.

Due to the earlier evacuation time, there were only small-scale encounters with the devils.

Later, when we covered the transfer of the transport team with the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, we fought several battles with the devils before we suffered certain casualties. In the end, there were only 2000 troops left under the brigade headquarters of 1500 people when they withdrew to Jingxian County.

In other words, now there are only more than 386 people left in the northbound detachment of their 4500 brigade!

When the troops were divided in Xixiang County, their northward detachment had more than 9000 people!

"Damn it!" the brigade commander said bitterly, "Our 386 brigade has never suffered such a big loss since its establishment! Today, this place must be recovered sooner or later!"

Wei Dayong said: "My head also said the same."

"Li Yunlong?" the brigade commander said, "Is he okay?"

"It's pretty good." Wei Dayong said, "I can eat, drink and sleep, and I'm thinking about finding a chance to get revenge on the devil."

"Well, this is Li Yunlong's style. He never complains about himself when he suffers a loss, but thinks about how to get back, and get back right away!" The brigade commander nodded and said, "However, even if he brought the independent regiment out of the encirclement Come out, even if the situation of the Independent Regiment is better than that of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, I still have to settle with him for his disobedience! Go back and inform him, and ask him to come to the brigade immediately trip!"

Wei Dayong did not leave immediately, and said, "Brigade Commander, can I leave later?"
