Hello! Checkmate! There are only about 5,000 troops left! And the other party's losses are probably not much, Li Yunlong's troops are worthy of defeating many of the imperial elite troops of the Eighth Route Army, and their combat effectiveness is really strong. And there are too many weapons with rapid firepower, and we don't have much advantage in street fighting! ”

Hiroaki Sakamoto paused with a bitter face, who would have known that Li Yunlong's troops were so strong, and the firepower was awesome!

Yamada Hao's eyes were solemn, and when he fought against this element, it was no longer a question of attaching importance to the new regiment or not, but how to hold the existing position in Mazhuang Village in this severe cold weather, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

As soon as he thought of the reinforcements, Yamada Hao immediately said in a condensed voice: "Sakamoto-san, send a telegram to contact the reinforcements again and see where they are?" Bagaya Road, isn't the nearest to us the imperial garrisons of Lingqiu, Sanshan Town and Laiyuan! Even if you climb, you can climb to the vicinity of Guangling! ”。

Hiroaki Sakamoto didn't answer immediately, but walked to the table where the map was placed on the side, pointed to the military map unfolded on it, and said with a wry smile: "General, a few minutes ago, I had already asked the signal corps to send a telegram to these three places to reinforce our imperial troops in the north. They replied that reinforcements from the three places had been assembled and quickly marched north, but on the road from Lingqiu to Guangling, guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were attacked everywhere on both sides. The roads are full of mines, and they are shooting cold guns, blocking our reinforcements from going north along the way! Now more than 6,000 reinforcements have marched north to the Hengshan Mountain Range between Guangling and Lingqiu. I'm afraid, it will take some time to get to the horse farm! ”。

"Isn't there still an hour before we can get to the horse farm?" Yamada Hao frowned, judging from the map, according to the current location of the reinforcements at this time, it will take at least an hour to reach Mazhuang.

This is no longer the relaxed attitude that Hiroaki Sakamoto said that it will take some time to be able to get to the horse village!

But at present, the main force of the Japanese army on the north road in Mazhuang has been besieged by Li Yunlong and only half of the troops are left, and more than 5,000 people are stuck in Mazhuang Village, for an hour, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on!

You know, only thirty-five minutes or so have passed since the start of the fierce fighting, and all departments are now reporting signs of a shortage of ammunition.

Hiroaki Sakamoto nodded silently, indicating that what Yamada Hiroshi said was right.

"General, according to humble observation, Li Yunlong's troops currently have at least about 7,000 people, and their casualties are far less than ours. Moreover, its ammunition is still in full supply, and its firepower has always maintained its pre-war posture. In particular, the artillery fire of the new regiment was carried out all the time. It is estimated that they will have no problem firing for a few more hours. And our artillery has already been wiped out by the opponent a lot, there are not many artillery left, and there are not many shells left! There are not many mortars, grenadiers left! ”

Yamada Hao knew that the sound of gunfire that was getting closer and closer had already indicated that Zhang Dabiao's troops, who had come in from the south of the village, were about to hit a distance of less than 100 meters. The troops of the 3rd and 2nd Battalions of the New 1st Regiment that came in from the east and west of Mazhuang also attacked the Japanese positions in various places in the two villages.

The rumbling gunfire has approached the headquarters where Hiroshi Yamada and Hiroaki Sakamoto are located, and there are still stray bullets that have already hit the outside of the room on the first floor of their headquarters!

And the firepower of the new regiment continued to attack fiercely, and it was still maintained, which showed that Li Yunlong's ammunition was very sufficient. Insisting on waiting for help, I'm afraid it's not a good choice!

So, Hiroshi Yamada said: 'Sakamoto-san, what do you mean to break through?' ’。

Hiroshi Yamada's tone did not mean to reprimand Hiroaki Sakamoto, but asked very calmly.

"Yes, General! At the moment, although we still have half of the troops, the ammunition of the various units is running out, and we can only hold out for less than 30 minutes. It would take at least an hour for reinforcements to reach Mazhuang as they moved north. Coupled with the current heavy snowfall weather, the snow is deep, and there are guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army attacking and blocking along the way, and it is definitely impossible to arrive in an hour. And our current ammunition will not last an hour. ”

Secretly relieving his breath, Hiroaki Sakamoto quickly continued: "In this way, if we continue to hold on to Mazhuang, even if we can hold the existing position, after half an hour, our ammunition will be exhausted. In the current situation, breaking through is the best way, otherwise, general, we have only one hundred percent dead end!".

After Hiroaki Sakamoto finished speaking, he also secretly glanced at Hiroshi Yamada's expression. If Hiroshi Yamada doesn't agree, Hiroaki Sakamoto has no choice, so let's stick to it!

However, it is obvious that Hiroshi Yamada is not a stubborn old devil, and knowing that when he runs out of ammunition and food, it is hopeless to continue to hold on to Mazhuang and wait for reinforcements when he is completely unable to insist on reinforcements rushing to Mazhuang.

Therefore, Yamada Hao thought about it for less than half a minute and then said in a condensed voice: "Then break through!" But wait for Mikuma Jiro and the others to move closer to the headquarters, and then break through in ten minutes! Sakamoto-san, in your opinion, where to break through? ”。

"General, I suggest that the troops break through in the direction of Wei County and concentrate their forces to the east to break through. The north is mountainous, and it is impossible to break through, and we are not familiar with the situation in the mountains to the north. To the west is the direction of Guangling, which is still in the hands of the new regiment, and to the south is the main direction of attack of the new regiment. There is only one way to the east! ”

Hiroshi Yamada pondered for a moment, it is indeed the only way to the east!

"Okay, ten minutes later, concentrate your forces and attack fiercely to the east and advance to Wei County! Li Yunlong led his troops to kill from Wei County, and we took it by surprise and broke through to the east to kill Xiang Wei County. At this time, there are definitely not many main forces of the new regiment in Wei County! Then order the troops to get ready!" Hiroshi Yamada slammed his fist on the table in front of him and said in a condensed voice.

Hiroaki Sakamoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally Yamada Hiroshi agreed to break through, "Hayi, I understand my humble duties, general!" ”

It's just that at this time, Zhang Dabiao's troops, Shen Qun, and Ma Wenhai's three troops have joined forces to storm the outer positions of Yamada Hao's headquarters. In addition, Li Yunlong's order had already reached the vicinity of Yamada Hao's headquarters, and because the ammunition in the hands of the various units of the new regiment was very sufficient, the artillery detachments of Wang Chengzhu's command post carried out an effective attack on the key artillery positions of the little devils, which made the infantry led by Zhang Dabiao and others attack very quickly.

Street fighting is another special feature of the new regiment, and He Yongjie's department sent half of its troops to chase the remnants of the devils such as Miokuma Jiro who retreated south into the village. At this time, it was impossible for Yamada Hiroshi to break through to the east. His troops were already being dragged down by the new regiment in the street fighting!

If Yamada Hao decides to break through the siege, he will immediately break his tail to survive, and send some devils to cover the remnants of the main force to break through after the death of the palace, there is still a chance, at the moment, there is no chance!
