Haruki Fujimoto shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Li Yunlong moved too fast, almost a covert and rapid march north to raid Yangyuan County. Rain and fog obscured the air reconnaissance superiority of our aviation forces, which made the raid of the separate brigade successful. Now, the independent brigade headquarters has eaten up most of the strength of the 31 brigade regiment. Although the commander of the Nantian Brigade has concentrated the last of his troops to wait for reinforcements, the only imperial troops closest to Yangyuan City are Huai'an, Tianzhen and Yanggao, and they will not be able to arrive in a short time! ”。

"What's more, the combined strength of the imperial army in these places is not much, even if they rush to Yangyuan City at this time, I am afraid they will only be able to send more achievements to the independent brigade. Your Excellency, Commander! ”

When Tada Jun heard this, his face became gloomy.

Speaking of which, Haruki Fujimoto actually understands what he means, that is, he doesn't agree with the transfer of troops to reinforce the 31st Brigade.

At that time, the 31st Brigade and the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division would have a total strength of nearly 20,000 troops to go south to Wei County to attack the main force of Li Yunlong's division after a fierce battle with the rest of the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine.

It was only then that Li Yunlong quickly went north and annihilated the headquarters of the 53rd Brigade in the triangular basin between the northern foot of the east-west mountain range in the north of Hengshan and the south bank of the Sanggan River, so that the 31st Brigade that then advanced west along the Sanggan River was already a lone army.

As a last resort, Tada Jun could only order the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division to continue westward, but only stationed in Yangyuan City and waited to move. After the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was over and the main force of the Japanese First Army was released, a few divisions and regiments were casually dispatched to the north to encircle the new regiment base area of Hengshan.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong's old routine was still the same, and he engaged in a surprise attack.

Moreover, the surprise attack was launched in the evening, which was indeed a big surprise for the 31st Brigade stationed in Yangyuan City.

As soon as he thought of this, Tada Jun's heart was very stuffy!

"If you don't send troops to reinforce the 31st Brigade, then the main force of the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division commanded by Taijiro Nanda will be wiped out. The loss of another brigade before the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was over was another shame for our North China Front. ”

Looking at the dots on the huge map of North China, Tada Jun said dissatisfiedly.

Once you give up sending troops to reinforce the 31st Brigade, then for the remnants of the 31st Brigade who stick to it, it will be no less than a bolt from the blue. What's more, the 31st Brigade was completely annihilated by Li Yunlong's subordinates, and it was impossible for the news to be concealed for too long.

But Haruki Fujimoto said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Commander, it is already past eight o'clock in the evening at this time, and the night is completely dark. The remnants of the 31st Brigade Regiment that marched in a hurry at night to reinforce Yangyuan City, even if they arrived, the night battle was not what the Imperial Army garrison troops who could reinforce the 31st Brigade were good at. The losses will be many, please consider it, Your Excellency Commander! ”。

"Are you just watching Nanda Taijiro's brigade annihilated?"

Tada Jun was quite helpless, and he didn't know what Haruki Fujimoto said, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!

Tightly grasp the elite divisions of the Japanese army under the jurisdiction of a front army, but Tada Jun can not draw many troops. Most of them were just when the independent brigade headquarters was in a big way and maneuvered around, and the Japanese troops stationed in important towns nearby were dispatched to strike and pursue.

After all, the towns that the North China Front needs to control under the control of Tada Jun's Devil North China Front have too many and too long lines of communication.

At this time, the Japanese army had gradually felt that there was a serious shortage of troops that could be used for mobility.

The Wa State was only a fallen country, with frequent strategic resources, and the fierce battle of Taipingyang with Miguo, and began to transfer the elite divisions of the Japanese army in China to the Taipingyang battlefield.

At present, Tada Jun is already very uncomfortable, and even in the face of the challenge of the independent brigade, he actually feels a little powerless.

Of course, Fujimoto Haruki didn't think that Tada Jun's thoughts at this time had already begun to spread to the Taipingyang battlefield, but he continued: "Now I only order the 31st Brigade to stand by and wait for reinforcements, and ask them to hold out until dawn. As for sending reinforcements, it is suggested that only a small number of reinforcements be sent to contain them. Wait until dawn tomorrow and mobilize bombers for air reinforcements! ”。

This is also a solution, Tada Jun thought about it.

"Call back to Nantian Taijiro and order them, the front army headquarters is already sending troops to reinforce Yangyuan County, and order them to hold on and wait for reinforcements! As for the time to hold on, let them hold on until the wee hours of the morning. "Based on the urgent telegrams of Haruki Fujimoto and Taijiro Minamida, Jun Tada still made such a decision.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Commander! Do it now! ”

Haruki Fujimoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but what he meant was very clear, the Independent Brigade had annihilated most of the main force of the 31st Brigade. Although there are still more than a thousand remnants of the remaining army, they are already in the encirclement of the other side, and the final general attack will be launched in at least ten minutes.

Judging from the content of Nanda Taijiro's urgent telegram, the strength of the independent brigade to send a surprise attack was at least 7,000 or more, which was already an overwhelming advantage over the last remnants of the 31st brigade.

What's more, at this time, if troops are sent to reinforce at night, they may encounter an ambush and harassment by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on the road. The Japanese reinforcements reinforcing Yangyuan City are also bound to lose a lot, in this case, they can only order Nantian Taijiro to hold on to and wait for reinforcements, and fight until the early hours of the morning, which can be regarded as letting the remnants of the 31 Brigade give full play to their final value, and try to fight out part of the strength of Li Yunlong's independent brigade in the final fight.

Immediately, a reply was sent to Taijiro Minamida in the temporary headquarters of the 31st Brigade in Yangyuan Castle, who was in the midst of suffering.

In Yangyuan City, in the temporary headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the Devil, there are scattered documents everywhere.

The defense line outside the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the Little Devil has been attacked by the three main regiments of the Independent Brigade, and the sound of gunfire has resounded endlessly.

The flames of the explosion had already flashed through the glass window of the room where Taijiro Minamida was located.

The firelight flickered, and the fierce battle shouts outside were endless!

"Report to the brigade commander, the front command called back!" In the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the Devil, Taijiro Nanda was looking at the map on the table with a gloomy face, surrounded by a staff officer of the Devil who was burning confidential documents.

When Taijiro Nanda heard this, he snatched the telegram from the hands of the communications staff officer.

"Eight Tooth Road! Eight grid tooth road! After reading the content of the reply sent by Haruki Fujimoto, Taijiro Nanda smiled miserably, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying angrily.

Several devil staff officers on the side looked at each other, not knowing why Taijiro Nanda was so miserable and helpless. However, they all glanced at each other and did not dare to step forward to answer.

"Order all the warriors of the Imperial Army to resist hard, and the Front Command orders us to hold on and wait for reinforcements. At least, hold out until the early hours of the morning, and reinforcements will arrive! Nanda Taijiro waved his hand and ordered a devil staff officer.

"Hai, brigade commander!" When the devil staff officer heard this, he paused heavily.

However, Taijiro Minamida knew that Tada Jun had actually given up the 31st Brigade. They are already outcasts.
