In order to guarantee victory in this battle, the brigade commander took not only the fighters of the infantry battalion, but also sixteen fighters of the artillery corps. The injuries of these soldiers are not serious, as artillerymen, they don't have to go to the front line to fight the devils, so naturally it will not affect their performance.

Although he has not yet gone to Panlong Town, the brigade commander can already be sure that the Okazaki Brigade of the devil is not easy to deal with, as long as the Okazaki Brigade has the slightest awareness, then it will inevitably occupy a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack according to the local terrain. Coupled with the devils who are sweeping around, once the 129th Division encircles and suppresses the Okazaki brigade, then the surrounding devil troops will inevitably come to support quickly.

There are a lot of devils around Panlong Town, not to mention, with the speed of the devils' march, once the troops of the 129th Division can no longer complete the encirclement and suppression of the Okazaki Brigade in a short time. Then the devils within a radius of three hundred miles, or even five hundred miles, will come in the shortest possible time.

The marching speed of the devil troops is very fast, they can reach 80 kilometers a day, and the mechanized troops can reach hundreds of kilometers! This also means that unless the 129th Division can end the battle in a short time, it will be quite difficult to kill the Okazaki Brigade when the devil's reinforcements arrive.

It is with this in mind that the brigade commander will choose to take the soldiers of the artillery team, and after Liu Gen's teaching, the skills of the soldiers of the artillery team have improved. Coupled with the mountain artillery that the brigade commander is going to bring, he will definitely be able to contribute to killing the devils! With the mountain artillery, the brigade commander was also prepared that he could not bring it back, but as long as he could kill the Okazaki brigade of the devils, then the loss was still worth it.

There are a lot of mountain artillery in the hands of the devil, even if the mountain artillery brought by the brigade commander cannot be brought back this time, but as long as the brigade commander wants to, then he can still get the mountain artillery from the devil again. The 386th Brigade is a relatively close unit to Panlong Town, and other troops of the 129th Division rushed over, and they must not be able to carry heavy weapons like mountain artillery! Without mountain artillery, it is somewhat difficult to kill the Okazaki brigade of devils.

According to the information obtained by the brigade commander, the devil's Okazaki brigade has a mountain artillery squadron, even if this mountain artillery squadron is missing a squad and is not complete, but there are still three mountain artillery guns in the hands of the Okazaki brigade. If you want to deal with the mountain artillery in the hands of the Okazaki brigade, it is difficult for ordinary mortars to do, and with the firepower and range of the mountain artillery, it is enough to ensure that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army cannot get close at all.

On the premise that they could not get close, with the ability of most of the artillery in the Eighth Route Army, they could not hit the mountain artillery of the devil at all.

The brigade commander was a little lucky, he was very glad that he didn't forget to bring the mountain cannon hidden by Liu Gen when he was transferring. Originally, the brigade commander was not going to bring it, but considering that the previous camp had been exposed, it attracted the attention of the devils. If you don't take the mountain cannon away, then once the devil seriously searches in that area, it is still very likely to find the mountain cannon hidden by Liu Gen.

Walking out of the ward, the brigade commander was a lot more relieved, he had seen Liu Gen's state and knew that his injuries had improved somewhat, which made the brigade commander worry a lot less about Liu Gen. The brigade commander was still very worried that Liu Gen would die on this, and after taking over the artillery team, Liu Gen did a very good job, which made the brigade commander very satisfied. In addition, under the leadership of Liu Gen, the combat effectiveness of the artillery team has been significantly improved, and in the eyes of the brigade commander, Liu Gen is a treasure, and naturally there can be no problems.

After ordering the personnel of the medical department to take good care of Liu Gen again, the brigade commander set off with the infantry battalion and artillery team, and the new station of the 386th Brigade was not far from Panlong Town, even if it was with mountain artillery, it would only take half a day to arrive. If all the people rode their horses and traveled lightly to Panlong Town, it would only take an hour to successfully arrive.

At noon, the brigade commander and the soldiers successfully rushed to Shimen Village, Panlong Town, and the division headquarters decided to set up a front-line command here. From the mouth of the fighters who had been staring at the devil Okazaki brigade, the brigade commander knew about the situation of the Okazaki brigade.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the 129th Division's troops, the Okazaki Brigade seemed to be aware of it, perhaps knowing that they could not escape from the encirclement of the 129th Division with their troops.

Guanjiayuan is located in the hinterland of the Taihang anti-Japanese base, 13 kilometers north of Zhuangbi Village, Panlong Town, Wuxiang County. The Guanjiayuan is a high hill surrounded by mountains, and the top of the mountain is a calm area with a radius of several hundred meters, which is suitable for sending troops to deploy the formation. On the back of Guanjiayuan is a steep cliff, and it is impossible to climb it without special training. There is a deep ditch below Guanjiayuan, with steep slopes on the east and west sides, and only the south slope is relatively gentle, which is suitable for offensive routes.

The devil's Okazaki brigade took a fancy to the terrain of Guanjiayuan, so it decisively chose to march towards Guanjiayuan, occupy Guanjiayuan, and wait for reinforcements. The villagers who lived in Guanjiayuan before all lived on the southern slope of Guanjiayuan, and they lived in caves with one hole after another. And there was only one path leading to Guanjiayuan, and the Okazaki brigade of the devils did not let go of this path, laid mines on the path, and at the same time controlled the willow wall opposite Guanjiayuan, thereby ensuring fire control on the path leading to Guanjiayuan.

At the front-line headquarters, the brigade commander's face was full of solemnity, knowing that the devil had gone to the Guanjiayuan area, and he didn't have any good way. The units of the 129th Division are encircling, and the Okazaki Brigade of the devils will not be able to escape. It's just that if the brigade commander has troops that can be used in his hands, then he will definitely prevent the devils from occupying the Guanjiayuan area, and with the terrain that Guanjiayuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the devils occupy this place, so it will be much more difficult for the units of the 129th Division to complete the encirclement and suppression.

All the units of the 386 Brigade were on their way to Panlong Town, and the 772 Regiment, which had fought with the Okazaki Brigade before, was closely behind the Okazaki Brigade, which annoyed the Okazaki Brigade. If the 772nd Regiment is fully formed, Commander Cheng may directly order the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to attack the Okazaki Brigade, but unfortunately the 772nd Regiment is not in a full state, with the current strength of the 772nd Regiment, it is quite good to be able to entangle the Okazaki Brigade, and it is undoubtedly impossible to defeat the Okazaki Brigade by relying on the 772nd Regiment alone, or even to annihilate the Okazaki Brigade.

The brigade commander clearly knew the situation of the 772nd Regiment, and the task he assigned to Regiment Commander Cheng was very simple, that is, to observe and record the movements of the devil Okazaki Brigade, and prepare for the next encirclement and suppression of the Okazaki Brigade. The Okazaki Brigade that wants to kill the devil is not something that can be done simply, the combat effectiveness of the Okazaki Brigade is not weak, and it can be pursued by the units of the Eighth Route Army and still maintain a complete establishment, which is enough to show that its combat effectiveness is not weak.

The 772nd Regiment, which was closely behind the Okazaki Brigade, under the command of Commander Cheng, maintained a sufficient safe distance from the devil Okazaki Brigade, and the combat effectiveness of the Okazaki Brigade was not weak, if it really bit the 772nd Regiment in turn, then the 772nd Regiment would inevitably suffer a lot of casualties. Commander Cheng knew that all the troops of the 129th Division were rushing towards this area, and in order to encircle and suppress the Okazaki brigade of the devils, he was not a fool, so he would naturally wait until the large army came before attacking the Okazaki brigade.
