At the same time as the fierce battle was raging in Loufan County, the cavalry units began to launch a tentative attack on Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, before being occupied by the Japanese army, it was the nest of Yan Xishan, there are permanent fortifications on the periphery of Taiyuan, after the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, they reinforced the Taiyuan city fortifications.

Now Taiyuan is like a huge pillbox, the Japanese army is garrisoned in the fortifications, and the cavalry units have no way to do anything about them.

After paying more than a dozen people to die, Ge Haifeng consulted with the two major battalion commanders, and the cavalry troops temporarily stopped the attack.

At the same time, Ge Haifeng immediately contacted the regiment headquarters through the radio to report the situation here.

After Sun Weiguo learned about the situation of the cavalry troops, considering that the Japanese troops would not return to help, he immediately issued an order, requiring the cavalry troops to quickly withdraw to Loufan County, threatening the safety of the Japanese flank.

Time passed quietly, and the fierce battle in Loufan County had become white-hot, and the two sides fought desperately, and neither side evacuated.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the regimental headquarters of the first regiment of the reserve issued an operational order, the first infantry battalion, the infantry supplementary battalion under the guidance of the second cavalry battalion and the armored company, took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops outside the West City Gate, and after half an hour of fighting, the two infantry squadrons deployed by the Japanese army at the West City Gate were defeated.

As the attacking troops cleared the Japanese troops outside the West City Gate, Sun Weiguo began to give the order to evacuate.

The 1st Separate Regiment, the 3rd Battalion, the 1st Reserve Regiment Headquarters, the 2nd Battalion, the divisions began to evacuate in order.

At the same time, the engineer platoon, under the leadership of Tian Wu, began to detonate the mines and mines set up on the periphery of the position.

"Boom, boom!" When Fu Tao led the second battalion to evacuate from the periphery of the East City Gate, the devil soldiers quickly launched a pursuit, but Tian Wu immediately detonated the treacherous thunder, and the continuous explosions caused the devil soldiers to pay dozens of casualties, and they had to stop the pursuit.

The troops quickly evacuated Loufan County, and they quickly evacuated towards Lan County, Sun Weiguo had already made plans, he would fight the Japanese army in Lan County.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, after the Japanese army paid more than 200 casualties, they occupied the empty city of Loufan County.

The 119th Wing Headquarters was set up in Loufan County, and the chief of staff of the 109th Division, Shizaburo Ochiai, turned his face pale, and his eyes looked coldly in the direction of Lanxian.

For a while, Ochiai Shizaburo didn't know how to describe his feelings, although he captured Loufan County, but he was not the slightest happy, because Sun Weiguo took the initiative to give up Loufan County with his troops and get an empty city, which is not something to be proud of.

What's more, with Sun Weiguo's withdrawal to Lan County, the United Banner captured by Sun Weiguo is likely to be transferred to other places.

If this incident is widely reported, then there will be many people in the Japanese army who will pay the price for it.

Although Shizaburo Ochiai was annoyed, he was calm, he ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, and did not launch a pursuit.

At the same time, he reported the information here to the division commander Shigehou Yamaoka, and he wanted to know what Shigehou Yamaoka thought about this matter.

It was getting dark, and the Japanese troops began to camp in Loufan County, while the Chinese troops had already arrived in Lan County.

There is a river in Lan County, this river is called Lan River, which is a tributary of the Fen River, a tributary of the Yellow River.

Lan County is located in the northwest corner of Loufan County, and if the Japanese army wants to capture the county seat of Lan County, then they must pass through this Lan County, so Sun Weiguo Fu Tao's second battalion, Sun Ziyuan's third battalion, and Wang Kunyao's supplementary battalion are deployed on the north bank of the Lan River, ready to attack half-crossing.

The independent first regiment of Commander Qian took over the defense of Lanxian County, and Sun Weiguo's reserve first regimental headquarters was set up on a position at the south gate of Lanxian County.

The regimental engineering platoon is assigned to the front-line position, and the battalion commander of the second battalion, Fu Tao, is the front-line commander, and the deputy battalion commander Qin Xianliang is the deputy commander, and the second battalion, the third battalion, the supplementary battalion, the second cavalry battalion, the engineer platoon and other units deployed on the north bank of the Lan River are under unified command.

Although the second cavalry battalion joined the battle sequence of the front-line positions, their main task was to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the Japanese troops and prevent the Japanese troops from bypassing Lan County and directly attacking Lan County.

Yin Jin's first battalion was in reserve, and the artillery company set up artillery positions on the nearby high ground, ready to support front-line operations at any time.

Major General Gao Shen Tang Chunhua of the Second Theater Commander's Department and Commander Li of the Third Cavalry Regiment are still following the regimental headquarters, and Sun Weiguo will not let them go, especially Commander Li, if he is allowed to return to the army, something may happen to the cavalry unit.

On the evening of 8 March, the reconnaissance company and the cavalry battalion of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment returned to Lanxian, and Zheng Guanzilin was also introduced to Sun Weiguo by Ge Haifeng.

Looking at Zheng Guanzilin, who looked like a gentleman, Sun Weiguo didn't expect that he would dare to compete with the little devil.

Especially when he learned that Zheng Guan Zilin had gone to college, Sun Weiguo attached more importance to him, but considering that Zheng Guan Zilin was physically injured, Sun Weiguo had a brief meeting with him, and Sun Weiguo sent him to the health team for treatment.

As for Zheng Guan Zilin's proposal to establish a sniper unit, Sun Weiguo attached great importance to it, and he hoped that Zheng Guan Zilin would be able to write a complete plan when he was recuperating.

Even though the special combat team has four sniper groups, Sun Weiguo wants to assign snipers to each company, and even directly set up a sniper unit to directly engage in combat on the position during the operation.

"Regiment commander, now that we have more than 6,000 people, it is very certain that the Japanese troops will be defeated, but the Japanese troops are still not moving, should we take the initiative to attract them to prevent the Japanese troops from making a detour through Lan County and directly attacking Lan County."

After Sun Weiguo and Zheng Guan Zilin discussed, Zhao Lerong came to Sun Weiguo's side, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and asked with a solemn expression.

"The Japanese troops should be resting, this time the little devil has suffered a big loss, but we can't underestimate the enemy, if it weren't for the local troops to replenish, now our troops are probably already exhausted, which shows that the little devil's combat effectiveness is still very strong."

Sun Weiguo had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and if he could maintain such a confrontation, Sun Weiguo could not ask for it, because the current reserve of the first regiment needed to rest, and the Japanese army would not attack, but it could give the troops a chance to rest and recuperate.

Sun Weiguo will not do anything to take the initiative for the time being, after all, all the departments are very tired, and if they are allowed to attack, it is inevitable that they will make mistakes.

The Japanese troops had no intention of attacking, and the Chinese troops were not prepared to attack, so both sides were safe and sound, and the battlefield became silent for a while.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army began to send a captain officer to Lan County, and the captain officer asked to meet Sun Weiguo.

As the saying goes, the two armies do not fight each other, and Sun Weiguo directly agreed to the captain's request.

However, Sun Weiguo did not meet with the captain at the regimental headquarters, he met with the Japanese captain in the county seat of Lanxian County.
