"What? Guangling Emergency? Li Yunlong suddenly looked solemn and said.

I saw the signal soldier of the army say loudly: "Yes, regiment commander." The independent battalion of our regiment in Guangling was in an emergency, and the enemy troops on the southern route of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army had advanced to the southern foot of the Hengshan Mountain Range south of Guangling, and were crossing the Hengshan Mountain and attacking and advancing to the north. The guerrillas between Guangling and Hengshan Mountain Range may not be able to delay the enemy for long, and the Japanese army on the southern route will attack under Lingqiu City! ”。

When Li Yunlong heard this, he suddenly became solemn,

In order to keep the security of the west of Wei County, in Guangling City in the west of Wei County, Li Yunlong put down a battalion of elite troops, which was Zhou Hua's independent battalion, totaling more than 1,000 elites.

In the base area, only the other fighters of the seven or eight hundred independent battalions under the command of Zhao Gang and one or two thousand guerrillas who had just entered the base area to defend the old nest of the new regiment according to Li Yunlong's order.

Therefore, for the Guangling defenders, Li Yunlong's previous order to Zhou Hua was to hold Guangling, at least Guangling must not be lost before annihilating the Japanese army of Muto Kenichi.

"It seems that the Japanese army on the southern route will reach Guangling, and it may take about half an hour to attack Guangling! Made, call back to Zhou Hua, give me to defend Guangling, and order the Japanese guerrillas who are delaying the southern road along the way, fight and retreat, and then retreat into Guangling City and defend the city! Without my command, you must not abandon the Spirit! ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand, and after a cold moment, he said in a condensed voice.

In the current situation, the only way to make a strategy is to make a strategy like this, otherwise, once Guangling is lost, it will not be able to encircle and eat the Japanese group on the northern route commanded by Kenichi Muto, then for Li Yunlong and others, once Guangling is lost, their own ambush troops will be in a situation where they will be attacked by the enemy on their backs.

"Yes, Captain!" The Signal Soldier saluted, and then hurried away.

Li Yunlong then turned his gaze back to the current battlefield, only to see the Japanese troops on the northern road blocked at the mouth of the bifurcated river barring with artillery fire, and the smoke and dust from the shells were billowing like rain.

Amid the sound of gunfire, the four battalions of the new regiment and 2,000 guerrillas surrounded more than 10,000 Japanese troops to the death, and the devil Muto Kenichi, who was only left with more than 11,000 soldiers, was bitter.

"Haha, Kenichi Muto, you old devil, can you still break through my blocking position? Hey!!! Li Yunlong saw through the telescope that the blocking fortifications formed by crossing the river to storm the third and fourth battalions in the south and the guerrillas kept falling down the corpses of many devil soldiers, and he immediately sneered and muttered to himself.

At this time, Major General Kenichiro Yokokawa, the commander of the 15th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, who was despised by Li Yunlong, forcibly broke through the encirclement and attacked the 3rd and 4th Battalions to attack the 3rd and 4th Battalions, and the guerrillas blocked the position, stood in his headquarters at the forefront.

Seeing that the tactical group of one infantry brigade after another infantry brigade attacked the blocking line south of the bifurcated estuary, and the soldiers of the new regiment were constantly killed by the firepower of the new regiment and lost the base in front of the position, Yokogawa Kenichiro was already frowning.

The snowflakes fell, and the snow became heavier and heavier, so that Kenichiro Yokogawa, who felt the severe cold, felt that this offensive action of advancing from the west of the Sangqian River to flank the rear of the new regiment of Hengshan was already a ridiculous plan.

Another round of attacks failed, and the devils of an infantry brigade withdrew less than seven hundred people! Kenichiro Yokogawa, who must see the battle damage clearly from the telescope, pressed the telescope in his hand against the bunker sack in front of him and smashed it again.

"Bagaya Road, failed again! Having captured the first line of trenches of the other side, won't the troops of my 15th Brigade be able to fight? Kenichiro Yokogawa said fiercely, with a look of helplessness in his tone.

At this time, the brigade chief of staff of the 15th Brigade, Ryusansa Ono, walked quickly in front of Kenichiro Yokogawa, and said with a wry smile: "Brigade commander, the latest casualties of our department have been counted, and the casualties are too great!" ”。

Seeing that the chief of staff's face was very helpless and bitter, Yokogawa Kenichiro made some mental preparations, waved his hand and pretended to be calm: "How many casualties?" Say, Chief of Staff! ”。

"Hey! Brigade commander, according to the battle losses reported by the various departments, the 29th Wing has already suffered casualties of two infantry brigades, and only less than two infantry brigades can still fight. The 30th Infantry Wing also suffered heavy casualties, taking over the 29th Infantry Wing to continue the attack, also losing an infantry brigade. At present, only four infantry brigades remain, and together with other auxiliary units, there are only about 4,500 troops left in the troops that our unit can put into a complete attack. ”

When Kenichiro Yokogawa heard this, his left hand almost couldn't hold the sack in front of him, and he almost fell to one side!

"Nani? Didn't my 15th Brigade lose more than half? Kenichiro Yokogawa said with a trembling heart.

Baga Ya Road, how to fight next? The casualties are too great!

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, yes, more than half of my 15th Brigade Headquarters has already suffered casualties! There are still hundreds of seriously injured people who cannot be treated in the current weather conditions, and I am afraid that the casualties will gradually increase! If we don't break through the Eighth Route Army's blockade, we can only be trapped here! ”

In fact, Ono Ryuzo thought well, and if he continues to be trapped here at this time, he is really going to be trapped.

"Chief of Staff, send someone to report to the division commander! Ask the division commander for tactical guidance! In the end, Yokogawa Kenichiro ordered the attacking troops to stop the attack, rest for a few minutes, and asked Ono Ryuzo to send someone to ask Muto Kenichi what to do next.

Once the strong attack continues to move south, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses if they can only fall into a carefree battle against the enemy's defensive blocking positions.

Ono Ryuzo had no opinion, and said with a pause: "Understand, brigade commander, go and do it immediately!" ”。

On the other hand, Yokogawa Kenichiro sent a herald to order the front-line attacking troops to temporarily stop the offensive, first stabilize the first trench defense line guarded by the 3rd and 4th battalions of the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and confront the soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Battalions on the opposite side.

In less than a minute, Kenichi Muto's divisional headquarters, which was not far from Kenichiro Yokogawa's temporary field headquarters, soon received a report from Kenichiro Yokogawa.

The old devil Muto Kenichi suddenly frowned, but the old devil also observed from the telescope at any time the strong attack of the Japanese army under Yokogawa Kenichiro's army on the ambush and encirclement position of the new regiment to the south, and it was indeed a heavy casualty.

It's just that Kenichi Muto didn't expect that Kenichiro Yokogawa's troops would suffer such heavy casualties!

"Where is the main force of the 3rd Brigade under the command of Hiroshi Yamada now?" Kenichi Muto did not order Kenichiro Yokogawa to continue the assault, but turned around and waved his hand to the staff officer on the side.

A devil standing beside Kenichi Muto immediately said: "Report to the division commander, the latest call from the chief of staff five minutes ago, they are heading north along the road from Guangling to Lingqiu County, and they are crossing the Hengshan Mountain Range at this time!" However, they were attacked by a large number of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way, and the troops moved north slowly! However, Chief of Staff Hiroshi Yamada reported that in about half an hour, he could attack under Guangling City! ”。
