"Eight Tooth Road! Eight grid tooth road! Li Yunlong is actually Li Yunlong's troops! Isn't the main force of the new regiment still in Wei County? How did you come north so quickly and arrive here to set up an ambush? Tada Jun pointed to a place on the huge sand table in the headquarters command room with a gloomy face, and frowned.

Haruki Fujimoto smiled helplessly: "It's not clear for the time being, but according to the humble understanding, Li Yunlong led his troops to mobile combat, and after annihilating the headquarters of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the 3rd Division at Awl Mountain, he captured a large number of war horses of the imperial army. Coupled with the number of their own war horses, they can support their main force to quickly move north. However, Weixian and other places near the Sanggan River were all guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army, and it was likely that there were convenient roads for them to quickly move north. It's not impossible to rush here to set up an ambush! ”。

"It's really impossible to contact the 37th Brigade of the 53rd Division?"

Tada Jun still couldn't believe it, and asked Haruki Fujimoto with a solemn expression.

"I can't be contacted anymore, Your Excellency Commander! The new group has been clearly energized and sent, and according to the past practice, nine times out of ten they have succeeded! Haruki Fujimoto smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Who would have thought that Li Yunlong's troops would attack so quickly, and take the initiative to attack before the two Japanese brigades and regiments could meet, and solve one of the roads first.

In this way, the next battle will be difficult to fight!

Sure enough, soon Tada Jun looked at the huge sand table in front of him, which clearly marked the current situation.

The old devil Tada Jun also didn't expect that a Japanese army brigade would be completely wiped out by Li Yunlong's troops here. Although it is impossible to really confirm whether the clear code power emitted by the new group is real, according to the past practice, as long as the new group really sends out the clear code power, it is basically true.

This shows that the Japanese army of the 53rd Brigade has been ambushed by the main force led by Li Yunlong in the triangular area between the northern east-west mountain range in the north of Hengshan and the south bank of the Sanggan River.

In this way, the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division, which was still attacking and advancing westward along the south bank of the Sanggan River at this time, was a lone army.

Judging from the sand table, if Li Yunlong finds a place to ambush the 31st Brigade again, it is still possible.

Thinking of this, Tada Jun, who had been pondering for more than a minute, raised his head and said in a condensed voice to Lieutenant General Fujimoto Haruki, chief of staff of the headquarters: "Fujimoto-kun, the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division has set off from Shenjing Town and marched west along the river, and it is estimated that they already know the news that the 53rd Brigade was completely annihilated after being ambushed at this time!" Now the 31 brigade is only themselves! What do you think? ”。

"Your Excellency, Commander, if you continue to advance westward, the main force of the new regiment ambushing the 53rd Brigade again at this time should also know the news of the southward movement of the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division. If Li Yunlong was arrogant, he might turn around and attack the 31st Brigade! ”

Haruki Fujimoto paused and continued: "Now that the two brigades have lost one, although the remaining 31st Brigade has fifteen Empire-made Type 95 tanks deployed by His Excellency the Commander to support the operation, the 31st Brigade only has two wings, and the total strength is only about 8,000 people. And right now, Li Yunlong's department, according to the previous combat data, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000 people at this time! ”。

"Then Fujimoto-kun's suggestion is not to go on the offensive?"

Haruki Fujimoto pointed to the sand table and said, "Hai, Your Excellency Commander! ”。

"But Your Majesty's side is not easy to reply!" At this time, another brigade was lost, and if the emperor knew about it, Tada Jun's reproach and rebuke would inevitably come again. Ranwen

Fujimoto Haruki also smiled helplessly: "But the enemy situation has changed, and we have lost another brigade." It is no longer realistic to rely solely on the 31st Brigade to go south to attack the main force of the new regiment in Wei County! What's more, Li Yunlong actually ambushed here, and he won't stay long after he succeeds. It is very likely that he will lead his troops directly south and withdraw to his Hengshan base area! You must know that the terrain and landform of Hengshan Mountain are very familiar to the new group, and they have many paths to withdraw to their base lair! Your Excellency, Commander! ”。

"As for His Majesty's side, even if His Majesty learns about it, he will not remove His Excellency the Commander soon! At present, the battle on Zhongtiao Mountain is still in the midst of fierce fighting, and His Majesty will not remove His Excellency the Commander in a short period of time! ”

Hearing this, Tada Jun leaned on the corner of the table and looked at the huge sand table on the table in front of him, and pondered, "Send a report to the commander of the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division, Nanda Taijiro, and order him to lead his troops to continue westward!" ”

"Your Excellency, what are you?" Haruki Fujimoto wondered, what I said about the analysis before daring to love is all nonsense?

However, soon Tada Jun gave Fujimoto Haruki relief, "Let the 31st Brigade continue to move west and directly enter Yangyuan City!" Without an order from the command, do not move for the time being! ”

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

Tada Jun conspired: "We have sent the 31st Brigade to the west, which itself is to attack the main force of the new 1st Regiment in Wei County. Now that Li Yunlong has set up an ambush here, the headquarters of the 37th Brigade of the 53rd Division will be completely annihilated, and he will inevitably be arrogant and contemptuous! I wouldn't have thought that we would continue to order the 31st Brigade to move westward, and as for letting the 31st Brigade enter Yangyuan, it would be the next move! When the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was over, a few divisions and regiments would be transferred back and there would be surplus troops to launch a fierce attack on the new regiment base area of Hengshan. ”。

"I see, Your Excellency, Commander!"

When Haruki Fujimoto heard this, he knew what Tada Jun meant, on the one hand, he ordered Taijiro Nanda to lead his 31st Brigade to continue westward and enter Yangyuan to suppress the new regiment base area of Hengshan from the northern flank.

On the other hand, because the first opportunity had been lost at this time, it was impossible for the main force of the new regiment to have a favorable opportunity to annihilate or defeat most of it in a field battle in a short period of time. There are still forces that can no longer squeeze the new regiment, and only after the battle of Nakajo Mountain is over, there will be more troops to attack the main force of the new regiment.

Immediately, Haruki Fujimoto immediately went down to deploy and sent someone to send a report to Nanda Taijiro, ordering him to lead his troops to continue westward and enter Yangyuan County.

At this time, Naosaburo Okabe, who moved the Japanese headquarters on the Nakajo Mountain front to Wenxi, also quickly received the content sent by the new regiment after the clear code was energized, and Naosaburo Okabe, who was watching, gritted his teeth.

"Kawaguchi-kun, have you contacted the 53rd Brigade?" The sound of gunfire in the fierce battle of Nakajo Mountain has been far away from Wenxi, so Okabe Naosaburo didn't expect that something was wrong behind.

Jitaro Kawaguchi, who was also the chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army on the front line, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have ordered the communications section of the headquarters to send reports to the 53rd Brigade several times, but I still can't get in touch!" Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid that the 53rd Brigade is really as clear as the telegram sent by the new regiment, and it has been completely annihilated here! ”。

Pointing to a huge detailed map of the provinces of North China placed by the headquarters, Jitaro Kawaguchi was a little helpless!

"Kitano Takusai misunderstood me! Eight grid tooth road! ”

A punch slammed on the table, and Naosaburo Okabe was furious. A brigade set off from Datong, but I didn't expect it to disappear into the world in less than two hours, which really made Okabe Naosaburo's heart ache!
