After breaking away from the main force of the Independent Regiment, Wang Yan led the Wolf Tooth Squad to continue southward.

It's just that after passing Changning Town, they may encounter the 9th Brigade at any time, so the Wolf Tooth Squad did not take the road again, but took the ridgeline on the right side of the road instead.

At about 0:00 a.m., I walked about 10 kilometers south to Niutougou.

As he was moving forward, Nosaka Kansumi, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his right hand.

Wang Yan immediately signaled Sun Ming, Wei Dayong and a few of them to be on standby, and then walked a few steps quickly to Nosaka Kuancheng's side, and whispered: "Nosaka instructor, is there a situation?" ”

Nosaka said, "There are motorcycles. ”

Wang Yan listened attentively for a moment, and sure enough, he heard a faint roar.

After another moment, a few bright headlights lit up from the opposite side of the hill.

Then, two side three-wheeled motorcycles emerged from behind the mountain beam in front of them, and by the lights, you could clearly see that the side buckets of the motorcycles were equipped with machine guns.

While observing, the machine gun on the motorcycle in front of him suddenly opened fire.

A tongue of fire immediately swept towards the direction where Wang Yan and the others were hiding.

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to it, this was just a devil's fire reconnaissance.

The lights are blind, and the devils on the motorcycle will never find them.

Sure enough, the bullet hit a rock dozens of meters away in front of the left, and sparks flew everywhere.

Amid the roar of motorcycles, the devil's reconnaissance team quickly passed and disappeared on the road behind them.

Less than five minutes later, beams of light burst out again from behind the mountain beams in front of them, piercing the night sky.

Then, the devil's brigade came out from behind the mountain beam in front of them, and saw a four-way column, running in the direction of Taiyuan with neat steps.

In the middle of the infantry ranks, there were cars, carts, and mules and horses.

As time went on, more and more devils appeared behind the mountain beams.

In the blink of an eye, the line of devils who appeared in the field of vision had exceeded 500 meters!

Wang Yan estimated that there must be at least one infantry brigade now.

At that moment, Wang Yan retracted back to the ridge, and beckoned to Wang Gensheng behind him, and Wang Gensheng hurriedly carried the walkie-talkie on his back and climbed to Wang Yan with his elbows.

Wang Yan grabbed the intercom and called: "Dong Yu Dong Yu!" The two of them are called the hole! ”

A few seconds later, Li Yunlong's voice came from the earpiece: "Dong Yu received it, Dong Liang, please speak." ”

Wang Yan said: "The target appeared, the distance was about 10 kilometers, and it arrived in about an hour and a half. ”

"Dong Mi received it, continue to monitor." After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he interrupted the communication, and it was estimated that it was arranged.

Wang Yan did not follow up immediately, but continued to stay on the ridge to monitor, until the 4 infantry brigades of the 9th Brigade all drove over from Niutougou, and then followed from behind.

……

The devil is careless, really careless.

Or Okamura Ningji was too anxious, and the orders given to the 9th Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division were too strict, forcing them to return to Taiyuan at full speed desperately.

If you go too quickly, you can easily make mistakes in your busyness.

The devils of the 9th Brigade almost ran out.

But Naokiyoshi Yoshino still thinks it's too slow.

The brigade headquarters of the 9th Brigade was beheaded by the Wolf Tooth Squad, the brigade commander Koshii Toranosuke was killed, and the chief of staff, Eisaku Suzuki, was also killed on the spot when he encountered a cavalry battalion on the way to reinforce the front line with a temporary infantry brigade.

So now the 9th Brigade is temporarily under the acting command of Naokiyoshi Nakasa, the commander of the 36th Independent Infantry Brigade.

Due to the destruction of the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, all divisions and brigades of the First Army are now under the direct command of the North China Front.

And Okamura Ninji gave the 9th Brigade a death order.

Before dawn tomorrow, the 9th Brigade must arrive in Taiyuan.

Otherwise, Naokiyoshi Yoshino will have to seppuku to thank him.

But what made Yoshino feel anxious was that the 9th Brigade had just crossed Niutougou and was still 50 kilometers away from Taiyuan.

But there are less than 6 hours left, which means that they have to run the last 50 kilometers in the remaining 6 hours!

This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

Especially now that the officers and men of the 9th Brigade have long been exhausted, it is even more difficult.

Even so, Naokiyoshi Yoshino could only urge over and over again: "Speed up, don't slow down!" Keep accelerating! Order the infantry brigades and continue to speed up the march! ”

……

In the town of Changning.

Following the independent regiment, the new 1st and 2nd regiments also arrived.

The brigade commander also personally led more than 2,000 people directly under the brigade headquarters to arrive.

More than 7,000 commanders and fighters of the entire 386 Brigade, except for the artillery, lined up along both sides of the road winding through the valley, and the entire ambush circle was pulled out for a full five kilometers.

Such a long ambush circle was enough to wrap the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army into it.

The brigade commander called Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie to him and ordered: "Put all the light and heavy machine guns on the commanding heights, and don't worry about the grenadiers of the devils." ”

"This time our artillery has an absolute firepower advantage."

"Strive for the first wave of firepower to knock down half of the devils!"

"Don't save bullets, we'll have to change our style of play this time!"

"If you can solve it with bullets, you will never fight with devils with bayonets!"

"All the soldiers of our 386 Brigade are treasures, and they can't be sacrificed here."

"I still have to keep these soldiers and fight with the devils in Taiyuan, do you hear clearly?"

"Yes!" Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the three regiment commanders, as well as several battalion commanders directly under them, responded with a bang, and the brigade commander waved his hand and shouted: "Go back and prepare!" ”

……

In the blink of an eye, more than 1 hour passed.

However, the 9th Brigade has not even passed Changning Town.

At this rate, you will definitely not be able to reach the outside of Taiyuan before dawn!

At this time, Yoshino Naokiyoshi was really anxious, and immediately shouted to the adjutant: "Order ......"

However, as soon as he said the word "order", a red signal flare suddenly rose from the low mountain beam on the right.

"Flares?" Yoshino Naoqing Huo Ran turned his head and looked at the red signal flare that had already risen half into the air with some surprise.

In the next moment, with the sound of a gunshot, hundreds of dazzling tongues of fire bloomed simultaneously from the mountain beams on both sides of the road, and even the night became transparent at once.

In the blink of an eye, several kilometers of road were covered in dense crossfire.

The 4 separate infantry brigades of the 9th Brigade were all encased.

The Japanese soldiers, who were marching forward in a four-way column, were unprepared, and they fell down in a row.

Baga Yalu! Naokiyoshi Yoshino let out a curse from the depths of his throat, then jumped out of the car as soon as possible, then pulled out his saber and shouted, "Fight back, Sasi change!" Tearing and changing ......"

Until this time, the literacy of the devil was not bad.

Despite the haste of the change, the devils of the 9th Brigade reacted quickly.
