"Yaga Yaru!"

Seeing this scene, Ryoichi Yamamoto's lungs exploded.

In the next moment, Yamamoto Ryoichi drew his saber without hesitation, drew his sword and shouted: "Order, motorized infantry squadron and chariot squad attack!" ”

"Chief of Staff!" Masao Kato said urgently, "If the motorized infantry squadron and the tank squad attack, it will also mean that the position will be exposed in advance, so that the ambush battle will not be successful." ”

"Idiot." Ryoichi Yamamoto snorted, "It's all like this, do you think you can still fight an ambush battle?" ”

Masao Kato suddenly looked stunned when he heard this, yes, it's all like this, how can it be an ambush?

Obviously, the Eighth Route Army had already seen through their intentions and made corresponding arrangements for their deployment, which is why the scene just now happened.

Ryoichi Yamamoto's order was quickly conveyed.

The Japanese motorized infantry squadron and the chariot squad that were ambushed in the woods on both sides of the road rushed out one after another, and the infantry squadron that had stayed on guard on the road before also turned around and cooperated with the motorized infantry squadron and the chariot squad to outflank the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army who were cleaning the battlefield from several directions.

……

Not far away, on the hill.

Looking at the side three-wheeled motorcycles, trucks and Type 95 light tanks that drove out of the woods, Sun Ming's saliva flowed.

"The devil is still rich, after so many years, he still has so many motorcycles, trucks and tanks, when can we have these equipment?"

"There's no hurry." Wang Yan said, "As long as these equipment are still in Shanxi, they will be ours sooner or later." ”

Sun Ming said: "It's really blind to these good equipment, if these equipment are given to our independent regiment, we can take Heyuan County and even Ping'an County in minutes." ”

Wang Yan said: "Even if we don't have these equipment, we will also take Heyuan County and Ping'an County." ”

As he spoke, Wang Yan had already jumped up from his hiding place and shouted: "Pass my order, the 1st Cavalry Company will immediately retreat and disengage from the little devil!" The wolf tooth squad and the guard squad alternated cover and retreated in the direction of Dagu Mountain. ”

……

Two hours later, the 1st Cavalry Company led by Sun Desheng converged with the Wolf Tooth Squad and Guard Squad led by Wang Yan.

Sun Desheng diligently reported to Wang Yan: "Chief of Staff, we have really made a fortune this time, and we have captured more than 160 military horses in one guy!" ”

"With so many military horses, it's enough to expand two cavalry companies."

"It's just that the training of this cavalry is a big problem, and the expansion of two more companies will have to be delayed for several months."

"What are you afraid of delaying for a few months, and now there is no major combat mission." Wang Yan said, "Hurry up, take advantage of the time to train your troops and expand it quickly, otherwise, when there is a big combat operation, your cavalry battalion is still training, then you can only catch blind." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Desheng said, "I'll expand it when I go back." ”

At this time, Wei Dayong hurried over with Wei Xiaoyong and Wei Xiaowu.

"Chief of Staff, the devil has withdrawn." Wei Dayong gasped, "However, before retreating, the devil set a fire and burned Shuanghe Town and a dozen nearby villages. ”

"Fuck, these beasts who kill a thousand knives." When Sun Desheng, Sun Ming and the others heard this, their faces immediately sank.

The devils burned Shuanghe Town and a dozen nearby villages, but the people in this area suffered, and their independent regiment also suffered, because they had to come up with supplies to help the affected people.

Otherwise, these people will die without food and clothing, and without a place to live.

Fortunately, now there are more and more factories in the northwest border area of Shanxi, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, so there is no place to settle these people.

Wang Yanxin was not very angry.

In a sense, the devils are actually helping their independent group expand its influence.

Because Shuanghe Town was originally a guerrilla area, an intermediate area where both the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting, the people here did not completely surrender to the Japanese army, but they did not fall to the Eighth Route Army.

But now as soon as the Japanese army set fire to it, the people of Shuanghe Town fell directly to the Eighth Route Army.

Soon, Shuanghe Town and the surrounding area will also become part of the northwestern border area of Shanxi, and thousands of people here will also become die-hard supporters of the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment.

This also means that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will have hundreds of more soldiers!

This also means that the situation of the Japanese army in Shanxi will become more difficult, and the situation of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will become more favorable. When this variable accumulates to a certain extent, it will change from quantitative to qualitative, triggering a subversive reversal of the situation in Shanxi!

……

Ryoichi Yamamoto is acutely aware of this.

Therefore, after returning to Ping'an County, Ryoichi Yamamoto made it clear to Inoue Sadawei.

"Division commander, we don't know what the situation is in Jinzhong, Jinnan and southeast Jin, but the situation in northwest Jin is already very grim." Ryoichi Yamamoto said, "The defeat in this ambush illustrates this even more. ”

"I found that although the technical and tactical level of the Imperial Army has declined in the past two years, and although the technical and tactical level of the Eighth Route Army has increased, there has been no fundamental reversal or imbalance in the technical and tactical level of the two sides."

"That is to say, except for a few elite units of the Independent Regiment, the technical and tactical level of the Imperial Army still has an advantage."

"But why can't it be reflected in real combat? On the contrary, it will be subject to the Eighth Route Army everywhere, and even become difficult to move an inch? ”

"The main reason for this is that the Eighth Route Army has a huge enmity that the Imperial Army cannot match in terms of intelligence, and the Eighth Route Army knows every move of the Imperial Army well."

"But the Imperial Army knew nothing about the movements of the Eighth Route Army."

"Even the presidents of the township maintenance associations in the counties, because of the situation, began to disobey the imperial army."

"This makes the situation of the imperial army more difficult, out of the county seat, the imperial army immediately became deaf and blind, in this case, it is strange not to lose the battle!"

"For example, this sortie."

"We thought we were doing it without knowing it."

"But in fact, the Eighth Route Army already knew the overall plan of the Imperial Army."

"It is precisely because the Eighth Route Army knows the plan of the imperial army that it will make a very targeted deployment, and actually hide the ambush soldiers under the nose of the imperial army, but the imperial army is ignorant of this."

The more Inoue listened to it, the more his brows furrowed, and he said, "So, what is your conclusion?" ”

Ryoichi Yamamoto took a breath and said in a deep voice: "My conclusion is that our division has reached a point where it must be contracted, and we must give up the outlying strongholds, and concentrate the main forces on more than a dozen county towns and the main strongholds along the Tongpu Railway, as for the other strongholds, let's give them all up." ”
