"So far, the division has lost two infantry wings, but it has only taken a few empty county towns and eaten more than 3,000 people in the garrison regiment, which is too much of a loss."

"After saying such a result, I feel ashamed myself." Speaking of this, a trace of anger clearly flashed on the face of the division commander, and his face was flushed red, and he continued.

"So we have to find a way to win the battle at the last minute and end the fight with dignity."

"Do you know why Okamoto United hasn't moved? They are the retreat I left for the entire division. ”

"Since the garrison regiment is not easy to deal with, then we will turn around and deal with the Jin Sui army."

"Chief of Staff, immediately formulate a battle plan, concentrate the Okamoto Wing and the Icheon Wing to attack Datong, and reoccupy Datong, an important coal mining town."

The Chief of Staff's eyes clearly shot out two fine lights.

Compared with the elusive and very mysterious garrison regiment, the Jin Sui army, which prefers to fight positional warfare, is obviously easier to deal with.

He immediately replied: "Don't worry, the division commander, I will arrange it now." ”

On the battlefield of Niutouling, there was artillery fire in the sky, and there were splashes of fire everywhere, and the black smoke that rose up flashed one after another, illuminating the battlefield clearly.

Nakatani Osa did not break out of the siege and trapped the mountain with more than a thousand remnants.

"Sir, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, we have no position, no trenches, all the troops are exposed to the ground, and the casualties are too great." The chief of staff reported with a look of heartache.

"I can't stay here!" Nakatani Osa replied with a calm face.

"Continue to let the Eighth Route Army blow up, and more than 1,000 of us will be bombed in the middle of the night."

"Since the division commander agreed that we should divide our troops to break through, then we will divide our troops to break through, and one person who can rush out is alone."

"As long as someone returns to Laiyuan alive, our Zhonggu United team will not die."

"Order, the troops will be assembled immediately, and the troops will be divided into ten ways to prepare for a breakthrough."

"Artillerymen, heavy machine gunners, shoot out all the ammunition, blow up the weapons, all change to light infantry weapons, and break through with the troops."

"The chief of staff, and a few captains, act separately, and everyone follows the breakthrough troops all the way."

"As long as you have the opportunity to break out of the siege of the garrison and break out of the mountains, you must return to Laiyuan City in the shortest possible time, even if you encounter a big fighter on the road, you can't stop, everything is mainly to return to Laiyuan City safely."

Li Hao is now on another hill not far from the battlefield, holding a telescope, and can clearly see every move of the Japanese puppet army on the mountain.

Hong Linfeng stood beside him, his face full of smiles.

The battle went more smoothly than expected.

In their original battle plan, this scene in front of them would not appear until at least the second half of the night.

There is only one reason why the battle will go so smoothly, Nakatani Osa is too anxious.

Hurried to retreat, anxious to break through, and then anxious to seize the hill, so that his subordinates were always on the offensive.

Anyone who has tried a little bit of military knows that the offensive has more casualties than the defense.

In doing so, Nakatani Daisa hastened the downsizing of the troops to a great extent.

In the second half of the night, there were only more than 1,000 people left in the entire Middle Valley Wing, and more than half of them were local garrisons, imperial troops, and technical troops.

The artillery bombardment of the garrison continued, and the shells flew up the hill like money, and finally landed and exploded.

The most powerful is the heavy mortar shell, the moment the fire is splashed, the thick black smoke quickly spreads around, the little devil hiding next to the bullet impact point is not spared, it is directly blown away, along with the earth and stones flying in the sky, and finally smashed everywhere.

"Regiment commander, I think the shelling is almost over, and I can let the troops get up." Hong Linfeng reminded.

The shelling was so intense that dozens of mortars fired together, using up hundreds of shells every minute.

Even if the garrison regiment has a big business, it can't withstand consumption.

"Fry for a few more minutes!" Li Hao shook his head and denied.

"Except for the first battalion and the cavalry battalion, the entire garrison regiment is still full, and the other main battalions have either suffered most or more than half of the casualties."

"We can't afford to lose the troops, and every soldier left is the elite who came out of the big waves, crawled out of the pile of dead, there must be no unnecessary casualties, and the enemy can be eliminated with artillery shells, and no infantry is used."

Hong Linfeng hesitated for a moment and reminded: "I'm afraid that there is not enough ammunition, especially heavy mortar shells, which are not much, and they must be used up almost in this battle." ”

"I'll fix it!" Li Hao replied confidently.

The Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory also hid nearly 100,000 rounds of heavy mortar shells, and all the large-caliber mortars equipped by the Eighth Route Army could not be used up, so Li Hao was not worried at all that the troops had no shells available.

"No, there's something wrong on the mountain......" the observation post suddenly shouted.

"Commander, the little devil on the hill seems to be about to break through."

"Then we can't attack......" Li Hao raised the telescope again and replied murderously.

"If the devils launch a counter-assault on us while we are attacking, and the enemy and our armies are mixed up, in the end, there will definitely be an enemy who takes advantage of the chaos to escape from the encirclement, burrow into the nearby mountains, and escape."

"We can't give the little devil this chance."

"Order: The artillery continues to open fire, and the attacking troops bring all the light and heavy machine guns to approach the hill together, attack thirty meters first, narrow the encirclement, increase the density of our defensive firepower on the encirclement, and if the devils break through, directly use light and heavy machine guns to meet the head-on attack, beat them back to the hill, and do not give them a chance to break through."

On the battlefield, Nakatani Osa was mixed in the middle of a breakout force, wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier.

Dozens of guards surrounded the perimeter, intentionally or unintentionally forming three protective rings inside and outside, protecting the wing commander tightly.

Nakatani held a telescope and stared at the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside very seriously during the interval between artillery fire.

He was waiting for an opportunity to break out of the garrison encirclement.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside has begun to attack." An ensign reminded.

"Order the troops to prepare for a breakthrough...... "Nakatani Osa immediately came to his senses and ordered very seriously.

"Everyone can't move, and when the Eighth Route Army comes up, we will launch a counter-assault, engage them in close combat, and then take advantage of the chaos to rush out of the encirclement."

Midvai's breakout plan is undoubtedly the best and has the greatest chance of success.

But his luck was too bad, and Li Hao, the breakthrough plan he thought of, also thought of it.

Seeing that the attacking troops of the garrison regiment were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Nakatani Daisa's face became more and more serious, and the command knife was held tightly, as long as the other party rushed to thirty meters in front of the formation, he immediately drew out the command knife and issued a counter-assault order.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Nakatani's dream was shattered after only a minute.

"Sir, the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army have stopped, and they are arranging a defensive line in place." The lieutenant continued to remind, a hint of worry flashing across his face.

"Oh no, we can't wait any longer, the garrison must see that we want to break through. Once their new defence is built, our chances of a successful break will be even slimmer.

"Snort......" Nakatani Osa decisively drew his command knife and shouted as he raised it.

"Assault, the troops began to break through."
