The brigade commander was sulking when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from ahead.

"Brigadier Commander, Brigadier Commander!" A fast horse is galloping towards him.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han saw the appearance of the person clearly by the light of the fire, and said in surprise: "Isn't this Xiao Zhang, the guard of Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment?" ”

The brigade commander perked up: "There must be good news." ”

In just a moment, Zhang Wancai came to the brigade commander.

"Brigadier Commander." Zhang Wancai gasped and said, "Our head of the regiment entrusted you with something. ”

Zhang Wancai handed over the saber in his arms as he spoke, and said: "This is the general knife of the commander of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Yue Shenghu no Suke, and our regiment commander entrusts you to transfer it to the division commander as a congratulatory gift." ”

"What, the shogun of the Tiger of the Upper Shogun?" The brigade commander's face changed slightly.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the saber, and said excitedly: "Li Yunlong, this kid, really got the official knife of Yue Shenghu Zhisuke?" ”

"Boom!"

Deputy Brigade Commander Han pulled out another knife.

Under the light of the fire, the saber reflected a formidable chill.

"Brigade commander, it's really the general's sword of Yue Shenghu no Suke." Deputy Brigade Commander Han said, "There is an inscription engraved on the knife." ”

The brigade commander looked moved, pulled Zhang Wancai and asked: "Xiao Zhang, let me ask you something, how many weapons, ammunition and livestock did your independent regiment seize when it took down the brigade headquarters of the 9th Brigade this time?" ”

"That's a lot." Zhang Wancai was simple-minded, and immediately said without thinking, "There are 11 of the 75 mountain cannons alone, and the number of pack horses, mules, donkeys and buffaloes is 1,000 smaller!" It's a pity that the arsenal was blown up by the devils, so not much ammunition was captured, otherwise this time it would have really made a fortune again! ”

The brigade commander couldn't help but glance at Deputy Brigade Commander Han.

No wonder Li Yunlong suddenly became so generous.

……

For Yoshio Shinozuka and the entire Shanxi Japanese army, tonight is definitely the longest dark night.

However, no matter how long the night is, it will eventually pass, and after dawn, news from all sides will continue to be transmitted back to Taiyuan, including information obtained from aerial reconnaissance by aviation scouts.

Chief of Staff Takayoshi Tanaka said: "Your Excellency Commander, based on the intelligence of all parties, it is now basically certain that it is the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army that broke through from the direction of Xixiang County!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes narrowed slightly: "129th Brigade of the 386th Division? ”

"Yes." "According to the available information, the 386 Brigade has the 772nd Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, the 2nd New Regiment and Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, among which Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment is the most ferocious. ”

"This time to break through, it is also Li Yunlong's independent regiment that plays the striker."

"In just one night, the independent regiment drove more than 50 kilometers to break through the three blockade lines of the imperial army in a row, first defeated the 40th Independent Infantry Brigade, and then severely damaged the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and then rushed non-stop for more than 20 kilometers to capture Xixiang County in one fell swoop!"

"The combat power is extremely amazing!"

"Yagayalu." Yoshio Shinozuka's facial muscles twitched, and he said, "Has the battle damage of the 9th Brigade Group been counted?" ”

"It's been counted." Takayoshi Tanaka said, "The 40th Independent Infantry Brigade has basically been defeated, and the full formation of more than 1,100 people has only escaped back with less than 300 imperial soldiers. ”

"However, the hardest hit is still the headquarters of the 9th Brigade."

"Since the brigade commander Yue Shenghu has been helped, more than 700 imperial soldiers who have stayed at the brigade headquarters have collectively broken jade!"

"The brigade chief of staff, Suzuki Eisaku, led a temporary infantry brigade composed of a baggage brigade, an engineer brigade and a guard squadron, and encountered the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment on the way to the aid of Houmiao Village."

"The temporary infantry brigade of more than 1,500 people was crushed by the First World War."

"Including Suzuki Esaku, more than 500 imperial soldiers are broken."

Yoshio Shinozuka pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "That is to say, in the battle last night, the 9th Brigade lost a total of more than 2,000 people, not including the seriously injured and dying imperial soldiers!" ”

"Yes." Takayoshi Tanaka said with a dark face, "There should be a small number of imperial soldiers killed in the future, and the final death figure should be around 2,100." ”

"Yaga." Yoshio Shinozuka's facial muscles began to twitch violently again.

In just one night, in just one battle, the 9th Brigade lost 2,100 imperial soldiers!

Taking a deep breath, Yoshio Shinozuka tried his best to suppress the anger boiling in his chest, and then asked, "So, I'm afraid that the military supplies at the headquarters of the 9th Brigade have also been destroyed, right?" ”

"Yes." Takayoshi Tanaka said, "All the munitions and supplies of the 9th Brigade Headquarters, including the ammunition reserve of 0.25 for the entire brigade, including all the artillery of the 9th Independent Mountain Artillery Brigade, and most of the guns and ammunition of the 40th Independent Infantry Brigade, have been damaged or lost. ”

"Damn! Tiger Nosuke, this idiot! ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's face has turned black to the bottom of the pot.

……

In the mountains and mountains in the southeast of Jin.

A group of people from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army were marching along the rugged avenue.

Division Commander Liu was a little tired from walking, and as soon as he sat down to rest for a while, he saw Mr. Peng and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo turning back from the front again.

"Boss." Master Liu said, "Why are you back again?" ”

"I'm here to give you a birthday gift." Mr. Peng raised the telegram in his hand and laughed, "Li Yunlong promised to give you a birthday gift that is already halfway there!" ”

"They really got the general's sword of Yue Shenghu no Suke!"

"Really?" Division Commander Liu said happily, "So the 386 Brigade has been launched?" ”

"Hit out!" The left deputy chief of staff said, "The independent regiment, which has been holding back for more than two months, is like a tiger out of the box, and has won three big victories in a row in one night, first defeating the 40th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army head-on, and then defeating the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and finally taking advantage of the victory to pursue and take Xixiang County in one fell swoop." ”

Master Liu said with a smile: "Li Yunlong, this kid, is really a fierce general." ”

"This kid is really good at fighting." Mr. Peng laughed and said, "Hehe, Li Yunlong's slap is not very easy to bear, Yoshio Shinozuka is probably having a headache now, what should I do next?" ”

"That's for sure." The left deputy chief of staff said, "The Japanese army is now in a dilemma, if we continue to sweep our Taiyue Military Region, the 386 Brigade will be able to turn over the sky in Jinzhong and Jinnan!" But if we turn around and pursue the 386th Brigade, the sweep of our Taiyue Military Region will be over. ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of fierce gunfire behind him.

Immediately after, Company Commander Tang of the headquarters guard company hurried over.

"Boss, division commander and deputy chief of staff, you guys hurry up!" Company Commander Tang said anxiously, "The devil has caught up!" ”

Mr. Peng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why is the little devil's dog nose so smart?" Catching up again so quickly? It's as if someone is showing them the way. ”
