Everyone nodded, and the 41st Wing of the 313th Division continued to move south, which was tantamount to asking for a dead end.

For field warfare, the units of the independent brigade were not afraid of the elite units of the Japanese army. What's more, at this time, all units of the independent brigade were already cavalry mobile, and dismounting was infantry.

Once encountering the devil 313 wing in the field, the advantage of the cavalry is even more prominent. In this way, it is very easy to occupy an advantage in the field, and it is still early in the morning and night, and the night combat ability of the various units of the independent brigade is even better than that of the 313 Wing of the little devil.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong laughed and said: "I order all units to continue to advance rapidly, and the main force of our independent brigade must go north head-on and meet the 313th Wing of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army head-on. As long as this Japanese army is eaten, it is not impossible for us to continue to attack Datong in the north. ”。

"Yes, Brigadier General!" Everyone stood up and saluted, and then dispersed one after another, commanding their own troops to speed forward.

Under the cover of night and rain and fog, and with the roar of high-altitude planes of the little devils at any time, the mighty 8,000 people of the independent brigade rushed north along both sides of the railway line under the cover of night and rain and fog.

Because of the support of war horses, the various divisions marched north at the speed of rapid marching. At this time, if the 313th Wing of the Devil withdrew its troops and returned north in time, it should be possible to avoid encountering the main force of the Independent Brigade on the Tongpu railway line.

It was only at this time that the devil soldiers of the 313th Wing of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army, who got off the train on the way and marched south on foot, were braving a little cold weather in the early morning and night to move south along both sides of the Tongpu railway line.

Not much to say, according to this situation, it should be a matter of nine times out of ten that the 313 Devil Wing and the main force of the Independent Brigade will encounter a fierce battle in the field.

At this time, the eyes shifted to the devil 313 wing!

After getting off the train on the way, the commander of the 313th Wing of the Devils, Masuda Kentai Osa, was on a small hillside on the left side of the railway, and condescendingly commanded the various units of the Devils of the Wing to march south.

The night is hazy, and the stars in the sky are not visible!

"Wing Commander, call from the military headquarters!" Just when Masuda Jiantai was trembling for a moment, looking at the devil soldiers on both sides of the railway below who were marching south, a little haze, a voice suddenly sounded.

The old devil turned his head and looked, and behind him was his chief of staff, Kusunoki Kotaro Shaoza, who was walking briskly.

I saw Kotaro Kusunoki hand a telegram in his hand to Masuda Kentai, and then said in a condensed voice: "The Yoshimoto brigade stationed in Huairen has been completely annihilated, and the military headquarters has received the last farewell telegram from Yoshimoto Shihui, the captain of the Yoshimoto brigade. At present, Huairen has fallen into the hands of Li Yunlong of the Independent Brigade, and we are afraid that it will be a bit dangerous for us to continue to go south at this time. ”。

"The order from the military headquarters is actually an order for us to continue south?"

After reading the telegram, Masuda Kentai frowned, this was really speechless.

"Yes, Captain! That's what the military command is! In fact, the humble post has already expected that the main force of the Independent Brigade may not stop in Huairen, but it is very likely that it will go north! At this time, the military headquarters ordered us to continue to go south, and our 313th Wing was probably a little dangerous. Kusunoki Kotaro said bitterly.

At this time, if you continue to move south, there is a high probability that you will meet the main force of the independent brigade going north.

As for the independent brigade department, Kotaro Kusunoki and Kenyasu Masuda will not take it lightly. After all, it was able to take out the elite 2nd, 3rd, and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, as well as the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division, which was annihilated last night. 520

Suffice it to say that the Independent Brigade is not easy to deal with, not to mention that at this time the 313 Wing does not have a strength advantage over the Independent Brigade.

In the face of this, Masuda Kentai and Kusunoki Kotaro received an urgent call from Taro Miyano, and they were suddenly like a fly late, and they were very uncomfortable.

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean?"

Masuda Kentai pinched the telegram, a little hesitant. Miyano Taro personally sent them a report in his name, that is, to let them maintain a combat posture and go south, and once they found that the main force of the independent brigade was heading north, they would send a report to the military headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City for instructions.

It's just that in the middle of a night battle, especially along the railway line to block the main force of the independent brigade from going north, even the arrogant Masuda Kentai finds it a little difficult to deal with.

"It is recommended that the troops immediately stop advancing, and that most of the main force be in the northern area of Xiamizhuang, relying on the north bank of the Kouquan River to build a defensive position. In addition, a small cavalry reconnaissance force was sent to cross the river to the south and search and advance south along the railway. Once we found that the Independent Brigade was heading north, we relied on the defensive positions built along the river on the north bank of the Kouquan River to block the main force of the Independent Brigade from going north. In this way, we will also be able to keep our 313 Wing. After the two devil staff officers dragged the unfolded military map, under the illumination of the flashlight, Kotaro Kusunoki pointed to the map and suggested to Masuda Kentai in a condensed voice.

"How far are we from the Kouquan River now?"

Looking at the map, Masuda Kentai nodded, and Kotaro Kusunoki's suggestion was good.

At least, in the face of the northward movement of the main force of the Independent Brigade, the 313th Wing was not arrogant enough to be able to be attacked by the Independent Brigade in all cavalry mode, intact.

"Based on where we are, it's less than three minutes away from the north bank of the Kouquan River!"

Masuda Kentai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately ordered: "Okay, immediately order all troops to march quickly and speed up, enter the area along the river on the north bank of the Kouquan River, and build fortifications." At the north and south ends of the railway on the Kouquan River, fortifications were reinforced, and a machine gun squadron was transferred to the south end of the railway bridge. That's how we are insured. Once we are able to hold off the Independent Brigade here at the Kouquan River, then no matter what, the Independent Brigade will have to turn around and go south. ”。

"Yes, Wing Captain, I understand!"

Kusunoki Kotaro ordered the leader of the ton, and then immediately deployed the operation.

At this time, the Independent Brigade had just withdrawn from Huairen and was heading north, and it was still a long way from the Kouquan River.

According to the deployment, the vanguard of the independent brigade marched north in a hurry, and carried out a search along the way. Soon, the reconnaissance unit of the vanguard of the Independent Brigade soon arrived in the area of Nanmizhuang Village, and encountered the Devil Reconnaissance Cavalry unit of the 313th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was heading south through the railway bridge over the Kouquan River.

Immediately, the enemy and our reconnaissance troops began a fierce battle!

"Da Da Da!! Dadada!! ”

After a fierce battle at Perak Bala, the cavalry reconnaissance unit of the Independent Brigade disengaged from the 313 cavalry reconnaissance detachment of the 1st Wing of the Devil.

However, the reconnaissance units of the enemy and our armies encountered fierce battles, and the devils still suffered losses. After all, the reconnaissance units of the independent brigade are all equipped with submachine guns, and the accompanying troops also carry one or two mortars. The firepower was still very fierce, and the reconnaissance detachment of the 313 Wing of the devil cried and cried for his mother, and had to disengage and go north.

By the time Li Yunlong led his troops to the vicinity of Xiamizhuang Village on the south bank of the Kouquan River, the 313th Wing of the Devils had already built a tight fortification in Xiamizhuang Village on the south bank of the Kouquan River and at the southern end of the railway bridge over the Kouquan River, as if waiting for the independent brigade to attack north.
