Chapter 284: Breaking through and retreating north?

"Nani? How can it be? ”

Hearing this, Matsui Ishine stepped forward quickly, grabbed the collar of the Japanese soldier who came to report the enemy's situation, and roared fiercely!

"How is it possible for a regiment of enemy troops to kill from the north?"

Matsui still refused to believe it, and his angry words continued.

Lieutenant General Kagesa, chief of staff of the accompanying army on the side, was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and there was a large number of enemy troops in the north, and it was still a regiment. This shows that their route of retreat to the north has been blocked by enemy troops.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Steady! Steady! ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao came back to his senses and pulled Matsui Shigen to persuade urgently!

Matsui Ishine separated the captured devil soldiers, but still said in a condensed voice: "Is there really a regiment of enemy troops that has been pressed from the north?" ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency, look at the north direction! One of our infantry brigades deployed to the north has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops who are suddenly attacking from the north! The number of enemy troops is at least one regiment, and most likely the strength of a reinforced regiment! ”

Matsui Ishone and Kagesa Akira both walked to the observation port north of the bunker headquarters at the same time, picked up binoculars and looked at the northern line of the defensive position.

I saw that at this time, the northern position of the Japanese turtle retreat position was suddenly attacked by a large force of the Eighth Route Army, and the gunfire was very intense. The flames of the explosion were very bright, and they were already suspected by Akira and Matsui Ishine.

"Bang !!"

After reading it, Matsui Ishine put down the binoculars and slammed his fist on the table next to the observation port, banging!

"Yaga! Li Yunlong actually has ambushes in our north! Could it be that Li Yunlong had already foreseen the possibility of us going south to Wei County? Matsui Shigen secretly guessed that if this was the case, the old devil was suddenly terrified in his heart at this time.

According to the current situation, the other party actually wants to completely annihilate the remnants of the 3rd Division under his command!

Seeing Matsui Ishone, who was silent after slamming his fist on the table, Kagesa Zhenaki couldn't sit still.

At present, the enemy situation has changed too much, and Matsui Shigen and they have been surrounded by Li Yunlong's counteroffensive. At this time, the battle was fierce, and the northern retreat had fallen into the hands of the enemy, so whether to continue to hold on and wait for reinforcements or break through must be decided with Matsui Ishine.

Thinking of this, Kagezo Zhenzhao immediately didn't care about offending Matsui Shigen, and said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, looking at the scale of the enemy attack from the north, I'm afraid it will be at least about three thousand to four thousand. The strength of a reinforced regiment is sufficient. Coupled with the new main force of Li Yunlong here in Wei County, the opponent's strength has at least doubled ours and is besieging us! Your Excellency, will we hold on and wait for reinforcements, or will we break through and retreat north? ”.

When Matsui Shigen heard this, although his expression was not good, his face was stinky.

But what Kagesa Zhenzhao said was right, at this time he had no third way. Although the third way was to surrender to the new regiment, Li Yunlong. But at this time, he still had more than 6,000 Japanese elites in his hands, and it was impossible for him to surrender. It is also impossible to surrender, and once he surrenders to the new regiment, the Japanese soldiers around him will tear him apart first.

The situation is like this, and Matsui Ishine is also a little difficult to decide.

"Kagesa-kun, what about your suggestion?" Matsui Ishine put down the shelf and asked Kagesa Yoshiaki.

When Kage Sazhen heard this, he didn't expect Matsui Ishine to put down his arrogant shelf and ask him.

After thinking about it, he still said: "Li Yunlong has an ambush in the north, it is premeditated!" Seeing that the enemy's troops coming from the north were full of the strength of a reinforced regiment, the firepower was strong, and the offensive was like a tide. We have only one brigade to defend in the north, and we are able to hold out for the time being. But Your Excellency the General also saw that the defensive position in the north may not last long. The number of artillery pieces of Li Yunlong's incoming troops lying in ambush to the north had already bombarded the northern front. ”。

After a pause, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao continued: "Humble suggestion, while we still have five or six thousand troops, concentrate on breaking through the encirclement and retreating to the north and retreat to the front line of the Sanggan River!" As long as we withdraw to the line of the Sanggan River, where the terrain is flat, the infantry strength of us and the new regiment will be leveled, which will be very beneficial to us. What's more, the weather should be good over the Sangan River line, and we can also get reinforcements from Imperial Air Force fighters! ”。

"What does Kagesa-kun mean to break through and retreat north?"

Matsui Ishine said in a condensed voice, this suggestion made Matsui Ishine a little disappointed!

"Hay! Your Excellency, General! ”

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao said stiffly, and at this time, the pen also saw that the new regiment had concentrated its main force and launched a siege and fierce attack on their remnants.

At this time, if we continue to hold on to and wait for reinforcements, although we can hold on for a while, whether we can hold on until the two Japanese brigades reinforced from Zhangjiakou and Datong arrive to relieve the siege, I am afraid that we need to put a big question mark?

Once it is encircled and finally unable to withdraw, it will really be a shame for the empire to be completely annihilated by Li Yunlong's troops.

However, Matsui Shigen was a little hesitant, although there was a certain opportunity to break through at this time, but he was really unwilling to break through and retreat north.

It's just that suddenly, the gunfire of the northern defense line intensified, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

At this time, there was also a devil staff officer of the command headquarters who walked in front of Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenzhao, and said urgently: "Report to Your Excellency the General, Chief of Staff, the shore position is lost." The enemy has launched a strong attack on the first line of defense south of our core main position. In addition, the enemy troops who have detoured from the east and west flanks of Wei County have begun to attack, and the firepower is strong, and I am afraid that the first line of defense of the defensive positions on the east and west sides may not last long! ”。

"Yaga!"

When Matsui Ishone heard this, he immediately walked to the south observation port of the headquarters bunker, and quickly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked south.

I saw that in the sight of the Matsui Ishine telescope, the officers and men of the first and fourth battalions of the new regiment, more than 1,000 reserve soldiers, and more than 5,000 soldiers of the new regiment had all crossed the river and went up to the north bank.

Subsequently, under the cover of the ferocious artillery fire of Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion, more than 5,000 soldiers armed with submachine guns, rifles, and light and heavy machine guns fiercely attacked the core position of the Japanese army.

"It's too late to break through now, a hasty breakthrough is bound to encounter the enemy's main force chasing and attacking! When the time comes, the various departments will be chaotic and can only be annihilated alive by the main force of Li Yunlong's department. Shadow Zuo-kun, you immediately take the strength of two squadrons to reinforce the southern position, block the onslaught of the enemy's troops crossing the river and attacking, resist first, and stabilize the position! ”

Matsui Ishine immediately made a decision and shouted to Lieutenant General Kagesa Akira, the chief of staff of the accompanying army on the side!

Of course, Kagesa Zhenzhao knew that this was the time when the various units of the new regiment were encircling and fiercely besieging them, and it was impossible to hastily break through and retreat north at this time. Otherwise, if you hastily retreat north at that time, you will definitely be defeated.

"Hai, Your Excellency, I understand!" Kagesazhen paused heavily, and then hurriedly left the bunker with a few guards, commanding two Japanese squadrons to reinforce the southern front position to block the attack.
