Hong Zhiqiang led the infantry to quickly evacuate Nanzhuang Village, while Yin Jinshan's armored company was responsible for covering the broken back.

After Hong Zhiqiang evacuated Nanzhuang Village, Yin Jinshan began to command the armored companies to cover each other's evacuation.

In the headquarters of the Second Infantry Wing of the Devil's Garrison Corps in Xishengling Village, Okazaki Kiyozaburo held a telescope and saw that the troops of the Nanzhuang Village Independent Regiment had withdrawn, and if it was replaced by the withdrawal of other Chinese troops, Okazaki Kiyozaburo would definitely quickly order the troops to pursue the past.

However, when the armored company of the Independent Regiment withdrew, Kiyozaburo Okazaki did not dare to rashly launch a pursuit, he was worried that his troops would encounter a counterattack by the armored company, so he watched the troops of the Independent Regiment withdraw from Nanzhuang Village and did not take any action.

After a short break, Kiyozaburo Okazaki quickly reorganized the remaining Japanese troops on the southern route into his own units, of which the second and third brigades were replenished, and the two infantry battalions restored the combat effectiveness of seven infantry squadrons.

It's just that the artillery units of the 2nd Infantry Wing have suffered heavy losses, and at present they are able to fight only four infantry guns and two mountain guns, and with the strike power of these six guns, they are simply unable to deal with armored units.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki held a telescope to observe the events in Nanzhuang Village, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face showed a little annoyance.

He had close to a full squadron of troops, but he did not conquer Nanzhuang Village, which was garrisoned by more than 100 people.

In Kiyozaburo Okazaki's view, this is simply a huge shame.

And now even if the troops of the Independent Regiment have withdrawn from Nanzhuang Village, Okazaki Kiyozaburo still does not dare to rush to Nanzhuang Village, he is worried that there will be an ambush in Nanzhuang Village, at this time, even Okazaki Kiyozaburo is not clear, he has a little fear of the Independent Regiment in his heart.

"Wing Commander, the Fifth Brigade of the Fifth Brigade and the Pingding County Garrison have come to reinforce it."

At this time, a lieutenant staff officer of the 2nd Infantry Wing quickly came to Kiyozaburo Okazaki, and he reported with joy on his face.

There are more than 1,000 reinforcements sent by Yamashita to the Second Infantry Wing, and there are mixed arms such as infantry, armored troops, artillery, and cavalry.

Hearing the lieutenant's staff report, Kiyozaburo Okazaki had an excited expression on his face, and he looked coldly towards Nanzhuang Village.

The order to attack was quickly conveyed, and the three infantry brigades marched in unison and launched a ferocious attack on Nanzhuang Village.

The village of Nanzhuang had already been abandoned by the troops of the Independent Regiment, and Okazaki Kiyozaburo's attack would naturally not encounter any obstacles.

The Japanese troops easily captured Nanzhuang Village, and then Okazaki Kiyozaburo quickly transferred his wing headquarters to Nanzhuang Village.

Nanzhuang Village is the place where the independent regiment troops started, although it has been destroyed by the Japanese army several times, but Sun Weiguo has put a lot of effort into it, it can be said that Nanzhuang Village is already a man-made bunker.

Unlike Tianjing Village and Nantou Village, which were bombed by Japanese planes and artillery shelling, although some houses in Nanzhuang Village were destroyed, some of the firing points were still intact, especially the headquarters located in the center of the village, which was almost intact.

Seisaburo Okazaki set up his wing headquarters in the headquarters in the center of the village, and he gathered the three captains together.

At the same time, Kiyozaburo Okazaki made contact with Hasegawaji, the wing commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, and he wanted to join forces with Hasegawaki to attack the last core position of the Independent Regiment in Binh Dinh County, that is, the ring fortification where the headquarters of the Independent Regiment was located.

Hasegawa Kei attached great importance to the joint attack on the position of the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

After receiving a telegram from Kiyozaburo Okazaki, after hesitating for a moment, he personally came to Nanzhuang Village with an infantry squadron.

Hasegawa wanted to discuss with Kiyozaburo Okazaki face-to-face about attacking the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, and the combat effectiveness shown by the Independent Regiment had already made Hasegawa a little afraid, and he felt that the defense of the Independent Regiment Headquarters would definitely be stronger.

The two captains of the Dazuo Wing met, although they captured the positions of Tianjing Village and Nanzhuang Village respectively, but the faces of the two people were not very good.

In order to deal with the troops of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese army dispatched two infantry wings and an infantry brigade, two tank squadrons, an artillery wing, and a force of tens of thousands of people, divided into four ways to besiege the troops of the Independent Regiment.

There were six infantry brigades and one tank squadron in the attack on Tianjing Village, Nantou Village, and Nanzhuang Village, but now the tank squadron has been completely annihilated, and the six infantry brigades are barely able to make up four infantry brigades, and thousands of wounded are lying in the rear for medical treatment, and the wounded die almost every minute.

"If the roundabout troops can quickly capture the position of Naozhai Mountain, how can our infantry end up like this, more than 100 people in our infantry wing were accidentally injured by the artillery wing, it is really hateful."

Kiyozaburo Okazaki looked at the map on the table, and he couldn't help but complain, his face full of displeasure.

The artillery wing did not capture the Naozhai Mountain position, and it was inevitable that there would be some accidental injuries in their firing on the ground.

On the contrary, the artillery unit of the Independent Regiment in Naozhai Mountain, they were condescending, but they did not inflict a blow on the Japanese troops.

"Now the artillery wing is making a detour to the south side of Naozhai Mountain, and we still can't expect them to participate in the battle. Okazaki-kun, if we continue to divide our troops into three routes and attack from Tianjing Village, Nanzhuang Village, and Nantou Village, I'm afraid we will still suffer. ”

Hasegawaki glanced at Kiyozaburo Okazaki, and he said in a serious tone.

Hearing Hasegawa's words, Kiyozaburo Okazaki had a puzzled expression on his face, and he looked at Hasegawaji, waiting for his next explanation.

The three-way attack was an order from Yamashita Fumi, but Kiyozaburo Okazaki didn't expect Hasegawaki to say a different opinion.

"At present, although the Naozhai Mountain position has not been conquered by us, the artillery wing, the first brigade of our wing and the tank squadron are completely sure to contain the Naozhai Mountain position, which means that it is impossible for the independent regiment to break through to the west.

If we continue to attack in three directions, it will inevitably give the independent regiment the determination to fight to the death, and China has an old saying that it will fight against the water. Therefore, we must leave a way for the Independent Regiment to break out, and I suggest that Nantou Village be abandoned and let the Independent Regiment break out of here as much as possible. ”

Hasegawaki pointed to the village of Nantou on the map, and he had a grim expression on his face.

The independent regiment broke through from Nantou Village, then the most likely path to take was to go to Hebei Province.

And here in Hebei Province, the Japanese army has gathered the strength of two independent mixed brigades, and it is very dangerous for the independent regiment to break through from here.
