The first tentative attack on the Japanese army suffered more than 70 casualties and then withdrew in embarrassment, which made Kotaro Yokoyama completely realize that the strong combat effectiveness of the new regiment of soldiers was not blown.

"It seems that the new regiment is going to prepare to stop us here!" Kotaro Yokoyama said with a frown.

At this time, the adjutant beside him, Koji Kitano, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the report of the attacking Imperial Army's soldiers, when they attacked less than thirty meters away from the first trench of the Shina Army, the Shina Army soldiers opened fire brazenly. Moreover, the soldiers of the Shina Army have a high shooting accuracy, and they can accurately kill and injure the Imperial soldiers in our attack even in the dark! The combat power of the new regiment is indeed amazing! ”。

Kotaro Yokoyama picked up the binoculars in his hand and observed the new regiment in the direction of the village entrance for a while, although the fireworks caused by the artillery fire shone on some of the fortifications and could be seen clearly. But most of the positions were hidden in the night.

Kotaro Yokoyama knew that although his troops had good combat effectiveness, their weapons and equipment were enough to crush the new regiment. However, the terrain at the entrance of Ushimura and the strong counterattack of the opponent made Kotaro Yokoyama very worried about the next attack.

"Damn! Has the scouting unit returned? Can you attack from both flanks of the village to the back of the village? Kitano-kun! ”

Unable to attack from the front and quickly capture the blocking position of the new regiment, the old devil Kotaro Yokoyama can only play the old routine of flanking and sneak attack.

Koji Kitano smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the report of the reconnaissance team, the terrain of Niu Village is unique, and only the road at the entrance of the village opposite us can enter the village. And the two wings of the cow village are cliffs, which are difficult to pass! In addition, it is now night, and it is inconvenient to travel at night, so it is difficult to sneak attack the position of the Chinese army on the flank! I thought that the fact that the Chinese army chose to block us in Niucun instead of continuing to march and evacuate should have seen their ability to fight at night and the unique blocking terrain here, so Your Excellency Shaozuo, I am afraid that we can only choose to continue the strong attack! ”。

Once the entrance of the village is stormed, judging from the casualties caused by the tentative attack on the new regiment's blocking position in the first wave, Kotaro Yokoyama knows that his troops will suffer heavy casualties until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

This price is unacceptable to Kotaro Yokoyama.

But at the moment, even if you want to get air support, you can't do it. At this time, the snow is sparse and increasing, which makes Kotaro Yokoyama feel quite tricky. Although Japanese bombers could be dispatched at night, the situation was obviously not feasible now, and the wind and snow had intensified, making it difficult for fighters to dispatch at night for air reinforcement in such an environment.

"If we attack, our losses will be huge! Kitano-kun, the defensive position of the Chinese army is mainly based on the village entrance, and it is fortified and blocked at various levels, and its trenches are winding, and the firepower is very effective, and we lost so many imperial soldiers in our first tentative attack, most of which were caused by the flank fire of the Chinese army! Kotaro Yokoyama didn't want to attack, so he analyzed.

Koji Kitano's old face under the darkness of the night suddenly became solemn, but Kotaro Yokoyama couldn't see it.

"Then Your Excellency Shaozuo, what should we do now? It seems that it is impossible for the Chinese army to stop us in Niu Village all the time, and its main force will inevitably continue to retreat after resting and replenishing its strength! At the entrance of the village, only one or two hundred people are needed to block the attack of our more than 2,000 imperial warriors! Koji Kitano said solemnly.

At present, if the main force of the new regiment is chased and lost, with the current angry Yoshio Shinozuka in Taiyuan City, they will definitely not be spared.

In the Battle of Yuci, more than 4,000 people left in the city by the 205th Brigade of the Japanese Army suffered more than 1,800 casualties. In particular, the brigade headquarters in the city was attacked and occupied by the main force of the new regiment, and dozens of Japanese officers such as the brigade commander Shinichiro Takei were killed, which made Yoshio Shinozuka furious. And now, once the main force of the new regiment is pursued and entangled by Kotaro Yokoyama, the main force of the new regiment escapes safely, then Kotaro Yokoyama and others, as the commander, will inevitably be dismissed by Yoshio Shinozuka.

Thinking of being dismissed from his military position because of these reasons, Kotaro Yokoyama suddenly paid attention to it irrepressibly.

"It's impossible for the imperial army to retreat because of the terrain of Niu Village! Ordered the artillery units to concentrate all the artillery bombardment. Four squadrons were transferred and prepared to storm the positions of the Muraguchi Shina Army. In one go, at least enter the positions of the Chinese army! Kotaro Yokoyama quickly waved his hand solemnly to his adjutant Koji Kitano and said fiercely.

When Koji Kitano heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo, obey your orders!" ”。

"Yo Xi, hard work Kitano-kun, this time stand behind the troops to supervise the battle. I will hand you a gendarmerie and shoot all the soldiers who dare to retreat without my orders! You drop, understand? Kitano-kun? Kotaro Yokoyama said to Koji Kitano with a hideous face in the night.

Kitano Koji Ha Yi said: "Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo, I understand!" He turned around and left to prepare for the battle.

At this time, after the first tentative attack of the Japanese army was repulsed, Li Yunlong also saw the battle situation ahead at the temporary village headquarters.

"Haha, the little devil is really a tentative attack! Damn, do you still think that labor and management are troops of the national army? Hum! Li Yunlong said with a smile.

At this time, a herald soldier came up from the first floor, ran to the top and stood up and reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the regiment commander, report to the forward position, we have a preliminary estimate of killing more than 70 enemy devil soldiers. Among them, a devil soldier was captured, and after interrogation, it was indeed the Japanese troops who almost poured out of Yuci City that pursued us. The Japanese troops pursuing us were the headquarters of the 205th Infantry Brigade of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army in Yuci City, which also included some squadrons of other Japanese brigades, with a total strength of nearly 2,000 devils out of the city to pursue us! ”。

"Oh! What's the name of the devil commander? Li Yunlong waved his hand and asked the soldier who came to report the situation to say.

The herald soldier immediately continued: "According to the interrogation, the captain of the devil brigade of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese army that pursued us is called Kotaro Yokoyama, and its chief of staff is called Koji Kitano. In addition, the Japanese army's armament includes two Type 92 infantry guns that followed the army after disintegration, at least ten 82-mm mortars, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 40 grenadiers, and their firepower is stronger than ours! ”。

"Okay, I got it! Pass my orders and let the brothers at the front cheer and be on guard at any time! Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes, Captain!" The herald warrior quickly answered and turned to leave.

Although the Japanese army of the Hengshan Brigade was strong, fighting at night at this time was the strength of the new regiment, and Li Yunlong was not afraid at all.
