Thirty-one cavalrymen, stopped by one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns, it was as if they had hit an iron wall, and whoever rushed over them would die, and there was no way to push forward.

At the end of the run, a dozen devils planned to slip away when they saw that the situation was not good.

Immediately leave the road and run in both directions, preparing to make a circle and then turn around and retreat.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel, and I just despair when I divide my troops.

More than 100 Eighth Route Army troops suddenly poured out of the surroundings, and a group of more than a dozen people rushed towards them with guns in hand, shooting as they ran.

In less than three minutes, the cavalry squad on which the Japanese army had high hopes was finished.

An hour later, on the road one kilometer ahead, a reinforced company of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion took ten minutes to kill a reinforced team from a nearby stronghold.

In the other direction, a main company of the independent battalion plus a mortar platoon took out a reinforcement of more than 150 people in half an hour.

At one o'clock in the morning, the two main companies of the independent battalion and a recruit company successfully ambushed more than 200 puppet troops in an hour.

When the battalion commander Zhao Wen was standing outside the stronghold of Wufeng Town, hesitating whether to kill the bait, a soldier from the reconnaissance platoon suddenly galloped over on a fast horse.

When he ran in front of him, his face was already red because he was too tired, and then he gasped and reported: "Battalion commander, the strongholds closest to Datong City suddenly became brightly lit and began to assemble troops, and the instructor judged that they wanted to return to Datong City, so you should immediately send troops back to intercept them." ”

Zhao Wen was shocked and began to order: "Trumpeter, blow the assembly horn immediately." ”

The commander of the company next to him was very unwilling to shout: "Battalion commander, you give me another half an hour to ensure that you take the stronghold of Wufeng Town." ”

"No more fighting!" Zhao Wen did not hesitate to order.

"Compared to the interception mission of the instructor, a Wufeng Town stronghold is nothing."

"Let's go and intercept the Japanese puppet army that wants to go back to Datong City first, and then we will attack here after the fight and carry out the order."

A reinforced squadron of the Japanese army, a company of the puppet army, and nearly 300 people carried torches and advanced lightly, and ran towards Datong City in a hurry.

A main platoon and a platoon of recruits of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion stood in front and waited for the Japanese puppet army to rush closer before firing.

The sudden firepower instantly took the lives of more than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers.

The Japanese commander, a lieutenant, drew his command knife and waved forward and ordered: "The enemy has two platoons at most, and he is not equipped with heavy weapons. ”

"Kill them together, and then move on."

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The captain rushed forward with his subordinates, and had barely run fifty meters before an explosion sounded in his ears.

Under the cover of night, the flames rising into the sky were particularly dazzling.

With each explosion, several of his subordinates fell......

The captain was heartbroken, and hurriedly ordered: "Bageya Road, the enemy has planted mines in front of the blocking position, and the whole army retreats, and you can't rush hard, otherwise everyone will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

The attacking troops were like a wave rushing to the end, and all of them withdrew at once.

The captain was not at all happy.

In less than three minutes after the attack just now, the troops were killed and wounded by mines before they could even see the opponent's figure, and more than 20 of their subordinates were scattered on the offensive road.

Such an attack is too embarrassing.

Although the captain didn't know why the brigade headquarters would let him abandon his stronghold and return to Datong City, judging from the urgency of the order, he vaguely felt that something had happened in Datong City, otherwise the brigade headquarters would not have let everyone set off overnight.

So I had to find a way to bring them back intact.

There were not many troops intercepting themselves in front, but they planted mines in front of the formation.

Judging from the attack just now, the troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties if they rush hard.

Sending sappers to find those mines is too time-consuming, and the most direct way is to bomb them.

However, in order to allow the troops to advance lightly and return to Datong in the shortest possible time, the two mortars only brought 40 shells for spare, and the number was too small, and all of them could not necessarily detonate the mines.

After a short analysis, the lieutenant decided to abandon the attack.

This is his defense area, and the nearby roads and paths are all in his head, and he knows how to walk with his eyes closed.

A path quickly came to mind that would allow you to bypass the blocking positions in front.

Sometimes taking the trail can shorten the time, and the devil walking the trail tonight is just the opposite, which will make them detour nearly three kilometers more.

Finally returned to the main road, and at the same time as preparing to march back to the big road, Zhao Wen rushed back......

At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the commander put down the phone and fell into deep thought with a calm face.

I didn't expect to be mistaken.

A false message was sent to the Datong garrison, which caused the city to fall into a crisis and could be captured by the garrison at any time.

The chief of staff knew very well that the future of himself and the army commander had been tied to Datong City.

It's good that Datong City doesn't have an accident, but if there is an accident, the two people will definitely be held accountable, and they must be made up immediately to ensure that Datong City is not lost.

He looked at the commander and asked, "Sir, what are we going to do next?" ”

"The proposal of the Datong garrison is very good!" The commander also reacted at this time and thought for a moment to answer.

"They concentrated their forces to defend Datong City, and we gathered heavy troops to directly attack the garrison base area, which can not only force the garrison to retreat, but also destroy their base area."

"If there are conditions, directly occupy Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan counties, and compress the garrison regiment into the territory of Lingqiu."

The chief of staff looked at the sand table and agreed: "The chief is wise! ”

Then follow the line of thought of the commander to analyze.

"Datong is an isolated city under our control."

"To directly send troops to reinforce Datong, you must pass through the base area of the Eighth Route Army and the area occupied by the Jin Sui Army."

"They will definitely try their best to block it, not only will they lose time, but they will also lose a lot of troops, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

"It's different to directly attack the base area of the garrison regiment, where there are no troops, and we will definitely be easy to kill."

"The base area is the place where the Eighth Route Army can survive, and without the support of the base area, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of a unit is, it will become weaker and weaker, and finally it will be killed by us."

"The garrison is no exception."

"As long as we attack fast enough and fight hard enough, we will definitely be able to force the garrison to retreat in a very short time."

"When they come back, the base area will be completely devastated by us."

"If conditions permit, we can also let the Datong garrison cooperate with us to attack the garrison regiment in front and rear, inflict heavy damage on them, and take the opportunity to occupy Laiyuan, Guangling, and Hunyuan counties."

The commander nodded and began to order: "Then fight like this." ”

"Regardless of whether the garrison really wants to attack Datong City, we must seize this opportunity to attack their base area."

"Chief of Staff, you are responsible for formulating the offensive plan and transferring troops."

"After dawn, gather 5,000 men and slaughter them in their base and destroy their lair."
