"Is it really impossible to hold on? Kagesa-kun?" Matsui Ishine still asked Kagesa Zhenzhao without giving up, looking extremely eager.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, General, listen to the sound of guns outside!" Li Yunlong's troops were already armed with a large number of submachine guns, superior rifles and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Under the cover of superior artillery fire, sooner or later they will completely finish us out here before reinforcements arrive! If you don't retreat, I'm afraid that the last few thousand imperial troops will fall here! ”。

"What's more, it's pointless to keep fighting. It is better for the whole army to break through and retreat northward to preserve the vital forces. After waiting for reinforcements to meet along the main trunk of the Sanggan River, we can still fight a decisive battle with Li Yunlong's main force when we go south again. Your Excellency, General! ”

When Matsui Ishone heard this, his expression was gloomy.

However, at this time, the sound of gunfire and shouting outside was already approaching his headquarters, if he really couldn't hold on, maybe breaking through and retreating north was the best choice.

Thinking of this, Matsui Shigen thought about it for two minutes, then stood up and said in a condensed voice: "Yo Xi! Follow Kagesa-kun's advice! Pass my order, the southern front is to hold on to the block, and the rest of the troops on the east and west flanks are moving closer to the northern flank, and once they are ready, concentrate their forces to break through to the north! ”。

"Hay, Your Excellency! Deploy now! ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Matsui Ishine finally heard his persuasion. Otherwise, it is really possible that the 3rd Division, under the stubborn command of Matsui Ishone, will be surrounded and annihilated by the main force of the new regiment here in Wei County.

Once this happened, the Japanese army had three divisions of the first division completely annihilated in the hands of the new regiment. And Matsui Ishine was still the first general of the Japanese army to fall in Wei County, no less than the few devils who were killed before, and expected a huge impact.

Therefore, no matter what, even if Matsui Ishine stubbornly insisted on waiting for reinforcements, Kagesa Zhenzhao still tried his best to persuade Matsui Ishine to lead the 3rd Division to retreat north. Otherwise, once the 3rd Division has exhausted its last bit of foundation, it will really lose its rebuilt structure completely.

Immediately, Kagesa Zhenzhao immediately deployed, commanding the commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Shin, to command more than 1,000 Japanese troops to defend the positions on the southern front. Mobilize most of the Japanese defenders who were holding on to the east and west flanks of the position to move closer to the north flank, and first crush the headquarters of Zhou Huasuo, an independent battalion of the new regiment that had been outflanked from the north flank.

At this time, according to Li Yunlong's telegram order, the independent battalion rushed from Guangling County to Zhou Hua, who had marched east to the north of the devil, and was standing behind a big tree on a dirt slope at this time, holding a telescope to observe the attack on the Japanese army's northern flank position.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Mortar shells fired by independent battalions continued to bombard Japanese positions, and few Japanese trenches were dug in a hurry. But the devil's defensive ability is still very strong, and he has been stubbornly blocking the attack.

"Made, the little devil is really tenacious! Go, give the mortar battalion an order, concentrate all the artillery fire, give me all the light and heavy machine gun fire points on the first-line trenches where the devils are leaking, and let's kill the devil's quick-fire fire first! Zhou Hua saw through the binoculars that the Japanese army's firepower points were very tricky and hidden, and the firepower strafing was very skillful.

In the face of the sudden arrival of the independent battalion, the Japanese defense force deployed by Matsui Ishine in the direction of the northern flank was caught off guard by the independent battalion. But the devil reacted quickly, and the devil who was on the defensive side was on the defensive side, and the devil defending in the north was enough for the strength of an infantry brigade.

Therefore, after the independent battalion knocked out hundreds of Japanese troops with artillery fire during the initial rapid attack, the rest of the devil soldiers quickly reacted and blocked the attack.

At this time, even under the cover of the artillery fire of the independent battalion, the attack of more than 1,000 people in the vanguard of the independent battalion was temporarily blocked by the devils.

However, the independent battalion was full of the strength of one regiment, and the strength of more than 2,000 people rushed from Guangling. However, the physical strength was very abundant, and after making a detour to the north of Matsui Shigen's position to hold on to the reinforcements, Zhou Hua ordered the independent battalion to rest for at least half an hour before attacking according to Li Yunlong's order.

Therefore, at this time, the stubborn resistance of the devil is not just the end of the crossbow in Zhou Hua's view.

"Understood, battalion commander!" A staff officer standing beside Zhou Hua replied with a smile, and then sent someone to give the order to the artillery unit of the independent battalion to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment.

At this time, after receiving that Zhou Hua's troops had launched an attack from the north, Li Yunlong stood on the head of the north gate of Wei County and looked out of the city with a telescope.

I saw that the Japanese troops on the north bank of the river were already under siege on all sides of the new regiment, but the condescending Li Yunlong also quickly saw the movement of the Japanese army.

"Matsui Ishine brings the troops on both wings closer to the north flank! It's not like trying to run away! Seeing that the Japanese army had transferred most of the defenders on the east and west flanks to the north flank in the midst of fierce fighting, Li Yunlong guessed.

However, thinking of the advantage he occupied at this time, it was impossible for Matsui Ishine not to know, even if he had already received reinforcements from one brigade of each of the Japanese troops from the direction of Datong and Zhangjiakou. However, it takes time.

But at this time, time is already very unfavorable for Matsui Ishone. Under the siege of such a new regiment of troops and firepower, it was impossible for the remnants of the Japanese 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine to block the encirclement and annihilation of the new regiment.

Therefore, at this time, Matsui Ishone's best choice was to concentrate the remaining forces that could be mobilized to break through to the north and retreat to the front line of the Sanggan River. And there, it was suitable for Japanese reinforcements to reinforce him at close range.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yunlong immediately said to a regimental staff officer on the side: "Call Zhou Hua immediately and tell him." It is possible that Matsui Ishine commanded the remnants of the Japanese army to break through to the northern flank, ordered the independent battalion, and prepared for the devil to break through. Tell Zhou Hua to block the breakthrough of the devil! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" The staff officer of the regiment headquarters responded, and then left briskly to send a report to Zhou Hua.

And Li Yunlong immediately shouted to the heralds: "Give orders to the first and fourth battalions, as well as the third and second battalions on the east and west flanks, and the devils want to break through to the north." Order them, intensify the attack, entangle the Japanese army, kill! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Several heralds replied, and then galloped away.

Soon, Zhou Hua, who had received Li Yunlong's order, woke up at this time. Zhou Hua quickly picked up the binoculars and looked, and sure enough, on the opposite side of his attack, the Japanese troops in the north suddenly became stronger and launched an offensive charge against the independent battalion.

The Japanese troops suddenly launched a counterattack on the independent battalion, and took the initiative to jump out of the trench to launch a counter-charge against the independent battalion.

"Made, order the reserves, all come forward, and give me a hard beating! Artillery, artillery, artillery, blow up his little devil! Seeing this change in the situation, Zhou Hua immediately copied the field phone in the hand of the communication soldier who sent the troops, and directly ordered the reserve team to go forward to block it.
