"Yaga Yaru!"

Seeing that the two infantry squads advancing along the ridge had suffered heavy losses, and that less than twenty had escaped, Maori Mohiro was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really getting more and more difficult to deal with.

It gives people the feeling that the entire defense system is like a hedgehog, with a feeling that there is no way to speak.

What especially made Maori Suhiro feel heavy was that the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was still a defensive system built in a hurry.

It's just that the defense system built in a hurry is so difficult, if the Eighth Route Army is given enough time, then it will be necessary?

"Brigade commander, this group of Eighth Route Army has a very high tactical literacy." The chief of staff of the 3rd Brigade, Futsuo Iimura, put down his binoculars and said to Mori Suehiro, "They actually know how to build side-fire firepower!" ”

"Even the Central Army of China has not yet mastered the essence of side-fire firepower."

"When exchanging fire with the imperial army, the machine-gun fire of the central army of China will often only be built on various commanding heights, and rarely in the flanks and rear."

"In this case, it is easy to be destroyed by the artillery fire of the Imperial Army."

"But this group of Eighth Route Army actually built machine gun fire in the flank and rear."

"Although the firing boundary of the side-firing fire is narrow, the side-firing firepower on both sides is enough to form mutual protection and completely lock the offensive line of the imperial army."

"I really didn't expect that the tactical literacy of the Eighth Route Army is much better than that of the Central Army."

"yes, it's unbelievable." "For a long time, the Eighth Route Army has taken advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial army to attack and ambush, and there will rarely be a head-on confrontation with the imperial army. ”

"Even if there are occasional head-on confrontations, the tactical literacy is not high."

"But the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is an exception, this group of Eighth Route Army has always been not afraid of confrontation with the imperial army, and they are even very keen on confrontation head-on."

"Two years ago in Yunling, the Bantian Wing was defeated from the front by the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade."

"Previously, in Xixiang County, the 9th Brigade was also defeated from the front by the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade."

"If nothing else, the opposite side should be the independent regiment of the 386 Brigade, Li Yunlong's troops."

"Li Yunlong?" Fusuo Iimura said thoughtfully, "Why does this name sound familiar?" ”

"Iimura-kun, although it hasn't been long since you transferred our 3rd Brigade, you must have seen his name in the battle report when you were in the Kwantung Army before." "The Black Island Wing, the Yamazaki Brigade, the North China Front Army Field Observation Group, and the robbery of the freight train were all done by Li Yunlong's independent regiment. ”

Fukuo Iimura said awe-inspiringly, "Yes, I remembered. ”

"Brigade commander, it seems that this is really a difficult opponent."

"If we want to defeat the Independent Regiment, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

"It's really not easy to defeat the Independent Regiment." "In particular, the terrain here is very unfavorable for us, and all the heavy equipment can only be maneuvered from the road in the valley. ”

"The infantry can make a detour from the path."

"But without the coordination of heavy weapons, the infantry will not be able to play much role."

"Especially in the face of a stubborn opponent like the Independent Regiment, infantry detour tactics are of little effect."

"They will definitely not waver or even collapse just because a small unit of the imperial army appears behind the flank, which is fundamentally different from the government army in China."

Speaking of this, Maori Suhiro continued: "But fortunately, we are not alone. ”

"Yes." Iimura Fufu said, "By this evening at the latest, the mixed 8th Brigade and the 110th Division from the Zhengding direction will rush to Xiluo Town. ”

"Also, the 26th Division that is going south from Datong will also appear behind the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"At that time, in the face of the siege of three divisions and two brigades of the Imperial Army, no matter how strong the tactical literacy of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is, and how tenacious the will to fight is, it will be difficult to escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army!"

"Yes." Mori Suehiro nodded approvingly.

……

In Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.

The war room was full of people, and it was already busy.

Okamura Ningji didn't even care about the sweep of the Central Hebei Military Region and the Eastern Hebei Military Region, and concentrated all his energy on the Taiyuan Campaign.

Because compared with the sweeping operations in central and eastern Hebei, the Taiyuan campaign is more important.

Communications staff officers are constantly coming out of the Telecommunications Division to deliver the latest battle reports.

Miyano Michiichi reported to Okamura Ninji on the one hand, and at the same time commanded several operational staff officers of the headquarters to present the latest movements of the Japanese army on the sand table.

Okamura still prefers to watch the sand table.

Because the sand table looks more intuitive, there is no need to restore it in your mind.

Miyano Michiichi received another telegram and immediately reported to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, the Xincheng Airport has been shelled by the Eighth Route Army, and the entire airport has been blown up. ”

"The 36th Squadron of Attack Aircraft and the 86th Squadron of Fighters stationed at the airport, a total of 31 combat aircraft, have also been destroyed."

"Damn!" Okamura Ninji gritted his teeth and said, "Order the 3rd Flying Regiment of the Aviation Corps to destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

Miyano said: "The 3rd Flying Regiment has already sent a squadron of attack aircraft, if nothing else, this squadron of attack aircraft has already flown over the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army and is carrying out bombing." ”

"Yo Si." Okamura nodded happily and asked again, "What about the casualties of the Yamamoto special forces guarding the airport?" ”

"Yamamoto's team didn't suffer too many casualties." Miyano said, "Because when the artillery of the Eighth Route Army measured the impact point of the bullet through a single test shot, they had already evacuated in advance. ”

"It's a pity that there is no aviation kerosene at Xincheng Airport."

"Otherwise, the operatives will be able to evacuate on their planes."

"Many members of Yamamoto's special forces can fly airplanes."

"Yaga." Okamura Ninji cursed, and said, "Oh, by the way, what about the 26th Cavalry Wing?" Did they arrive at the New Town Airport? Didn't get killed by this wave of artillery fire? ”

Miyano Michichi snorted lightly and said in surprise, "Your Excellency Commander, have you forgotten?" You have revised the order given to the 26th Cavalry Wing and transferred to Gujiao County to intercept the transport convoy of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Really?" Okamura Ninji slapped his forehead and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm busy and dizzy." ”

After a pause, Okamura Ninji asked again: "So, how far is the 26th Cavalry Wing from Gujiao County?" And the 41st Cavalry Wing, has it already crossed the Fen River to the west? ”

Miyano Michiichi replied without thinking: "The 26th Cavalry Wing just reported its itinerary half an hour ago, and this meeting should have passed through Kangjia Town. ”

Speaking of this, Miyano Daoyi pointed to a place on the sand table, and said: "There are still about 50 kilometers away from Gujiao County, and if there is no accident, we can arrive before noon." ”

"The 41st Cavalry Wing is crossing the river."

"Yo Si." Okamura nodded happily.
