"Leave that alone."

Okamura Ninji exhaled a turbid breath and said, "Now let's analyze it first, let's take the most likely countermeasures of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army next." ”

Miyano Michiichi said: "At least it is impossible to defend Taiyuan. ”

"That's for sure." Okamura Ninji nodded and said, "Now that the 37th Division is closer to Taiyuan, the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which is confronting the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division on the front line of Xiaodian, Changning Town and Xiluo Town, will definitely be surrounded outside Taiyuan City in the end. ”

Miyano Michiichi said: "Therefore, the most likely response for the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is to break through to the east. ”

"It would be good if the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really went east." Okamura Ninji said, "Even if they break through the blockade of the 3rd Brigade, they will collide head-on with the 8th Brigade and the 110th Division that are approaching. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji continued: "However, I don't think it's likely that they will break through to the east. ”

"Don't break through to the east?" Miyano Michiichi frowned and said, "Could it be that they are confident that they will break through the blockade of the 41st Division?" ”

"It won't go south." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "Although the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has captured a few guns, they will never be arrogant enough to think that they can break through the blockade of the 41st Division head-on. ”

Miyano Michiichi said, "If they don't go east or south, where can they go?" ”

"Break through from the west and from the north." Okamura Ninji said firmly, "Taking advantage of the fact that the 37th Division has not yet formed an encirclement with the 26th Division moving south, the 3rd Brigade advancing westward, and the 41st Division going north, we quickly broke into pieces and broke through the gap between several divisions and brigades." ”

"This is also the consistent trick of the Eighth Route Army in the face of blockade."

Before the words fell, Tsuneo Nishino, a communications staff officer, hurriedly walked in.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tsuneo Nishino walked up to Okamura Ninji and said with a pause, "The 41st Division is in an emergency, and the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Xiaodian and Changning Town has been broken into pieces and scattered to break through!" ”

"Nani?" Miyano Michichi was stunned, "Is it really broken into pieces?" ”

Okamura Ninji smiled and said, "This is also an expected result. ”

"Your Excellency the Commander is like a god." Miyano Michiichi praised and said, "It's a pity, if the 26th Cavalry Wing and the 41st Cavalry Wing don't have an accident, the gap in the northwest direction can be plugged at this time, and in this way, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will become a turtle in the urn, and there will be no way to escape." ”

Okamura Ningji said: "Without these two cavalry wings, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would not be able to run away." ”

"Order, the 37th Division immediately uses the brigade as a unit to build a blockade along the west bank of the Fen River!"

"The 26th Division also immediately divided its troops into wings and built a tight blockade line on the front line of Beixiaodian Township, Zhuangmo Township and Yangxing Township, blocking the Eighth Route Army's escape to the north."

"Except for the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division, the main force will turn to the north, and build a blockade line from Xie Chou Township to Xiyan Town as soon as possible, and lock the eastward escape of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"In addition to the 41st Division advancing in the direction of Taiyuan with the 3rd Brigade, the main force turned to Yuci and Xiaodian, locking the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to the south!"

"The 110th Division and the 8th Brigade continue to pick up pace."

"Aviation scouts continue to strengthen air vigilance and closely monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army."

"This time, no matter what, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will be surrounded and annihilated near Taiyuan!"

"Hello!" Tsuneo Nishino paused heavily, then turned around and hurried back to the communications section to give orders to the divisions, brigades, and the 3rd Air Regiment.

……

After the 4th Battalion is in charge, it will remain in Xiluo Town to block the 3rd Brigade of the Devils.

When Li Yunlong and Wang Yan arrived, the 4th Battalion had just repelled an attack by the devils.

Seeing Li Yunlong and Wang Yan, Zhang Dabiao was still a little strange: "Leader, why are you back?" ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Da Biao, how are the casualties of your 4th battalion?" ”

"It's fine." Zhang Dabiao said, "More than 20 were killed in the battle and more than 50 were wounded. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Hand over the wounded to the medical team, and you gather the remaining troops and prepare to attack." ”

"Attack?" Zhang Dabiao was stunned and said, "Regiment leader, now the devils are attacking, and our independent regiment is defensive." ”

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Li Yunlong said coldly, "After the battle is so far, we won't do anything else, we will only attack!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao's expression perked up and shouted, "All bayonets and prepare to attack!" ”

Li Yunlong said to Yu Chengzhu, who was panting and rushed over: "Pillar, the mortar companies of the 4 infantry battalions will also be under your unified command, and before the 4 battalions launch an attack, your artillery battalion must use up all the shells!" Not one left! After all the shells are fired, blow up all the mountain guns and rapid-fire guns, and take only the mortars! ”

Mountain artillery and rapid-fire artillery need to be disassembled first and then transported, and time is no longer allowed.

And now there are not enough mules and horses.

The independent regiment originally had more than 1,000 mules and horses, but in order to rush the supplies in Taiyuan City, Zhao Gang took most of them away, and now there are only more than 100 left in the regiment.

These more than 100 mules and horses were not enough.

The 33 mortars of the 5 mortar companies had to be carried by the artillerymen.

Therefore, it can be said that it is impossible to take away more cumbersome rapid-fire guns and mountain artillery.

It was impossible to take all 33 mortars away, because it was too delayed.

When Yu Chengzhu heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Regiment commander, it's a pity that such a good rapid-fire gun and mountain artillery were blown up, why don't you bring it?" ”

"No way!" Li Yunlong flatly refused, "You are not allowed to bring a mountain cannon or rapid-fire cannon." ”

"You can't take all the mortars away, just bring 9 Japanese-made 81mm mortars."

"The remaining Jinzao 82 mortars, along with mountain artillery and rapid-fire guns, were all blown up."

Seeing that Yu Chengzhu was so distressed, Wang Yan persuaded: "Zhu, don't feel distressed, as long as you are here, there are not many cannons?" There are not many devils, just a lot of cannons! When the time comes, don't say it's mountain artillery, rapid-fire guns, or whatever, just field howitzers and Italian artillery, and our wolf tooth squad will find a way to get them for you. ”

"Counselor Wang, that's what you said." Yu Chengzhu said busily.

"I said it." Wang Yan smiled and said, "You can't come to me." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Okay, pillar, hurry back and prepare!" ”

"Yes!" Yu Chengzhu turned around and left, finally in a less bad mood.

Because Wang Yan had already promised him that he would help him get howitzers and Italian guns.

Staff Officer Wang's credibility is still good, at least so far he has not broken his word.

After a while, the artillery positions of the Separate Regiment resounded with the muffled sound of "tom tom tom".
