"Your Excellency the division commander, break through to the south?"

Kenichiro Yokogawa said in a condensed voice, very surprised. The south is the enemy's key ambush position, and judging from the current situation, the opponent's troops in the south must be the largest.

At this time, Kenichiro Yokogawa was already clearly observing. What's more, the south is in the direction of Wei County, although it is only about five kilometers away from the ambush, but Wei County is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Not bad!"

Kenichi Muto waved his hand and said, "Break through to the south, we have already killed here, although the Eighth Route Army knows our traces." However, judging from the current situation of fierce fighting, the maximum number of troops that can be dispatched by the headquarters of the new regiment is about seven or eight thousand. And although their ambush firepower is very strong, as long as we break through and attack southward strongly, we will definitely be able to attack Wei County in one fell swoop! Once you capture Wei County, you can also wait for reinforcements in Wei County nearby. Waiting for the possibility of the main force of the 3rd Brigade attacking and advancing from the north of Lingqiu County to meet and reconcile, otherwise it would not be advisable to go north, east and west. ”。

Kenichiro Yokogawa pondered for a moment and had to say that Kenichi Muto's consideration was right.

At this time, it was impossible for the army to retreat to the north, and it was not feasible to go east and west, and there were no fortified towns on these three sides that could be defended, so they could only attack south and enter Wei County to hold on.

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I agree with my humble position!"

Ken Muto nodded a little and said: "Yo Xi, then pass on my order, all the artillery preparations, carry out fierce artillery bombardment to the north to lure the enemy, and then the main infantry will advance at full speed to the south, and attack towards Wei County!" Be sure to break out of the encirclement and break through to the south! Enter Ul County. ”。

"Haiy, Your Excellency Division Commander."

Several of the devil officers who were standing in front of Kenichi Muto slammed their heads one after another, and then left in a hurry to direct the devil's troops to prepare to forcibly break through to the south.

Just after Muto Kenichi learned that the Japanese troops on the southern route could not go north from Feihukou to reinforce them and join forces in Wei County, he quickly ordered the Japanese troops on the southern route under the command of Hiroshi Yamada to attack westward and advance to Lingqiu County, and then went north along the road, killed the Hengshan Mountain Range, and attacked the defenders of the new regiment of Guangling and occupied Guangling.

At this time, Li Yunlong stood in the temporary ambush position headquarters, holding a telescope to observe the devil troops rushing left and right in the current encirclement.

On the battlefield, the various departments of the devils who were blocked at the mouth of the bifurcated river and could not advance or retreat have lost their good structure. Although most of the devil troops were still in formation, and they switched to counterattack quickly, under the artillery fire of the artillery soldiers commanded by Wang Chengzhu, the battlefield exploded again and again.

In particular, the tanks, artillery and other baggage units in the Japanese army were hit by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, so that although Muto Kenichi immediately ordered his troops to counterattack on the spot, his artillery fire lost more than half of it in less than ten minutes, and he was no longer able to cause a large-scale artillery counterattack on Wang Chengzhu's artillery position.

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom! ”

Suddenly, a burst of fierce devil artillery fire counterattack explosion exploded in the direction of the north of the ambush, and it was the junction of the first battalion and the second battalion that was responsible for blocking the north side. But Li Yunlong felt strange, with the current situation, it was impossible for Kenichi Muto to lead his troops to retreat in a hurry.

You know, there aren't too many towns in the north direction that can provide these more than 10,000 devils to hold on to and wait for help. What's more, at this time, the snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the cold is intensifying, with Li Yunlong thinking in his heart, at this time, Muto Kenichi must find a place to stabilize his position.

And retreating north is simply impossible.

"Made, what the hell is this old devil Kenichi Muto?"

Li Yunlong muttered to himself, and the telescope in his hand kept looking towards the north of the ambush circle. Although it can be seen from the telescope that there are at least one or two thousand devils concentrated their forces to break through to the north, but the artillery fire is very large, but the number of troops to break through is too small.

But within a few minutes, the devil's movements gradually became clear.

"Regiment commander, the little devils have gathered at least 10,000 people, crossed the river towards us, and braved our artillery fire to attack south!" At this time, a staff officer of the army standing beside Li Yunlong had a solemn face, and pointed to the army of devils in the center of the battlefield.

Li Yunlong snorted, and the telescope in his hand turned to look, "Made, the direction of Muto Kenichi's breakthrough is to the south, we are here!" Nine times out of ten, this old devil wants to concentrate his forces to march south and seize Wei County! ”

"What to do? Head! The devil has moved! Our ambush force to the south had only two battalions and three thousand men! Zhao Dewen, a staff officer of the army, said urgently.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said calmly: "Made, calm down." The 3rd and 4th battalions were ordered to block the attack with all their might. Ordered Wang Chengzhu to strike with artillery fire, shatter the frozen river, and block all the devil's infantry in the north. Order the 1st and 2nd battalions, lock the encirclement! Tell everyone to let go of the ammunition and give me a hard shot! Hit hard! ”。

"Yes, Captain."

Seeing Li Yunlong's calm face giving orders, Zhao Dewen, a staff officer of the army, immediately stood up and saluted, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was worthy of being the commander of our new regiment, and he was really awesome.

With Li Yunlong's order, the Japanese troops at Muto Kenichi's command post forcibly broke through to the south, and soon encountered the third and fourth battalions of the new regiment that were blocking in the south, plus Li Yunlong then ordered 2,000 from the guerrillas in the reserve to join the blockade, and stopped more than 10,000 devils from Muto Kenichi from charging south.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"

On the battlefield, huge explosions continued to sound, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops under the command of Kenichi Muto, who was forcibly breaking through to the south and attacking the advancing south, encountered a huge artillery attack from Wang Chengzhu.

Three Devil Type 94 tanks, which were lucky enough to exist, served as the vanguard to cover the southward assault of the Japanese army, and they were blown up one after another under the bombardment of a Type 92 infantry gun captured from the devil operated by Wang Chengzhu himself.

The devil's tank is very weak, and the armor thickness is too thin. Bombarded by an ordinary mountain cannon and field artillery, nine times out of ten it was blown up and shattered into parts.

The Japanese army broke through to the south with the main force of Kenichiro Yokogawa's 15th Brigade, but it was still bombed by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, and it was crying for his father and mother.

Snowflakes were falling on the battlefield, and the ground was littered with the corpses of devils killed by artillery fire, stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood was all over the eyes.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander! The troops who forcibly broke through suffered heavy casualties, and when they crossed the river from east to west, they encountered powerful artillery bombardment from the Eighth Route Army, and many of our imperial soldiers were bombed and fell into the icy river and drowned alive! I can't break through! "Seeing that the devils of an infantry brigade that took the lead did not completely cross the river, they were bombed by the artillery fire of the new regiment and suffered heavy casualties, and the commander of the 15th Brigade, Kenichiro Yokogawa, could not sit still.
