Three forks, a township with a geographical location as its name suggests. The township is located in the northwest of Chahar's Right Front Banner, adjacent to Zhuozi in the west, adjacent to Cha's Right Rear Banner in the north, adjacent to Jining in the east, and bordering Pingdiquan Town in the south.

It was such a township that seemed to be only one step away from Zhuozi, but at this moment it was pouring into the Japanese army attacking from Datong Road. For this reinforcement army, which has gone from 20,000 to less than 15,000 left, it was really hard to fight all the way.

After being stationed in Sanchakou Township, the independent mixed third brigade that originally participated in the encirclement and suppression of Datong also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the air force to provide air support in the past few days, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to attack all the way here.

The reduction in the intensity of the blocking forces in the past two days has indeed relieved the officers and men of the 3rd Brigade. Now they were less than a day's way away from the 12th Division, which needed to be rescued, which really lifted their mood.

'General, the Twelfth Division has just sent a telegram that they have opened a gap for the Eighth Route Army to encircle them. Now ask us if we can join them in their town tomorrow? ’

Facing the telegram sent by the staff officer, the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade thought for a while and said, "Call back to General Yamamura and inform our unit that we will definitely be able to rush to their town by tomorrow evening." It's just that when the time comes, I hope they will cooperate a little more. ”

'Yes, General! When our two armies converge, I believe that the Eighth Route Army's encirclement of us will also be completely defeated! ’

Regarding the joy of the staff officer, the brigade commander of the major general said very cautiously: "Don't be too careful!" This time we were ordered to rescue the 12th Division, and you saw the battles along the way. These Eighth Route Army should not be underestimated!

Now that Ulanqab has been captured by them, if we want to break through next, we can only go to the eastern side of Mengdong. I believe that at this time, the commander of the Eighth Route Army should also be sending his troops to stop us!

Thinking about the area that is currently at war, the Eighth Route Army, which is fighting against us, is afraid that it has also mobilized nearly 200,000 troops to participate in the battle. If they send the main force back to help here, we are afraid that the next breakthrough seed will still not be optimistic! ”

The weakening of the Eighth Route Army's blocking efforts in the past two days made the brigade commander, who had always been in a state of high vigilance, mistakenly believe that the Eighth Route Army, which was blocking them, might also fall into a shortage of troops, so he had to reduce the strength of his blocking them.

In fact, the main force of the 2nd Division had already set up an ambush circle in Sanchakou Township in advance under the order of Wang Tianlin. For the Japanese army that entered Sanchakou Township and formed the 3rd Brigade independently, they had already entered the ambush circle at this moment.

It's just that at this moment, because it is still early, the encirclement force of the Eighth Route Army has not yet closed the encirclement. Considering that the terrain was very suitable for an ambush on the road ahead, the commander of the brigade of the major general ordered to set up camp in advance.

Anyway, it is not very far from the 12th Division at the moment, and it seems to him that it is wiser to cross those dangerous areas tomorrow during the day, with the cooperation of the Air Force. Most importantly, his troops were also in dire need of time to recuperate.

It is almost conceivable that tomorrow when they join up with the 12th Division, they will inevitably be resolutely blocked by the Eighth Route Army. This means that for the independent mixed third brigade, there will be a hard battle to fight tomorrow!

Considering that the Eighth Route Army was very good at night raids, the campsite that the Third Brigade found in Sanchakou Township was also a very flat area. The brigade headquarters is located in a small uninhabited village in this flat area.

From the beginning of the afternoon stationing, the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade began to build fortifications around the perimeter of the village. For them, after this period of fighting, they also became more handy on how to prevent the night attack of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to the cavalry patrol squads on the periphery, many lurking posts were also deployed. In some open areas, heavy machine-gun positions began to be constructed. And in the core area, the artillery wing they carry, is also well deployed.

In this case, if the Eighth Route Army sends a small force to sneak attack, the blocking troops deployed on the periphery can drive it away. If the Eighth Route Army had sent a large force to attack at night, it would have been easier for the Japanese to defend in such an open area.

It is only necessary to concentrate their heavy machine guns, and in such a place where there is no cover, it is useless how many people the Eighth Route Army sends. It was precisely because of the terrain around this small village that the 3rd Brigade began to camp here for a night's rest.

In the evening, wisps of cooking smoke rose around the village. For the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade, they also knew that they were not far from the 12th Division. As long as the two armies converge, it is believed that their chances of successfully breaking through will be greatly increased.

Along the way, many of their jade soldiers could only choose to burn and pack them away on the spot. The baggage troops responsible for collecting the ashes of those jade broken soldiers have already loaded everything that can be used to store the ashes.

Even many Japanese soldiers knew that the corpses of some soldiers had no time to be collected at all. When they first received the order, they fought extremely hard. Fortunately, in the past few days, this pressure has obviously been reduced a lot.

Knowing that the brigade might join the 12th Division tomorrow, the officers and men of the brigade seemed to feel that tonight's dinner tasted much sweeter and tastier. But they all understood that there could be no slackening on this last night.

The more critical the moment, the more careful they have to be. This is also what their brigade commanders need to do to strictly order their subordinates together. Because of this, the troops in charge of the vigil tonight are also more vigilant than before.

When the Japanese army began to enjoy dinner, some units began to prepare for rest. The artillery brigade, which had already rested for a day in advance, began to enter the pre-selected artillery positions, and the armored regiment was equally ready for a surprise.

With the experience of the Japanese army camping two nights ago, Wang Tianlin and Xu Renyi, the commander of the 2nd Division who was in charge of blocking the attack, also expected that the 3rd Brigade might choose to stay overnight in this small village. Even the road in front of the village was held in a blocking position.

In Wang Tianlin's words, if the Japanese army did not spend the night here, then they would have to spend the night here. Fortunately, the Japanese army, as they expected, chose to rest the night here in the small village.

As for the blocking positions they had arranged, the 3rd Brigade made two tentative attacks. Finding that the 2nd Division had built a blocking position, they did not launch a fierce attack, but withdrew the attacking troops and returned to the village to rest.

Taking advantage of the time of the advance Japanese attack, the troops acting as the rear guard of the brigade have built simple but effective blocking fortifications on the outskirts of the village. In this way, when the attacking troops withdraw, they can also return to the makeshift camp to rest.

In the evening, the cavalry patrol team arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery soon encountered the reconnaissance cavalry team of the Eighth Route Army who came to conduct reconnaissance. The cavalry of both sides launched a tearing and slaughter on the outskirts of the village. It didn't take long for the Japanese cavalry squad to withdraw into the defensive circle.

Seeing the heavy machine gun positions in the outer defensive circle, the reconnaissance cavalry team of the Eighth Route Army seemed to retreat back in fear. As a result, everything looks almost unchanged from the previous tactics.

For these reconnaissance squads of the Eighth Route Army that were conducting reconnaissance on the periphery, the Japanese troops who retreated into the perimeter defense circle also ignored these reconnaissance cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. As long as the Eighth Route Army scouts dared to approach, their heavy machine guns would open heavy fire.

In such an open area, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Eighth Route Army could only wander even a mile away, and did not dare to get too close to their outer defensive positions. After all, the lethality of heavy machine guns to cavalry is often annihilating.

Looking at the reconnaissance cavalry team of the Eighth Route Army who left a little disappointed, the Japanese troops guarding the outer defensive positions also said arrogantly: "Baga! These cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army are cowards, and they don't even dare to launch a charge against us! ”

'Little Tengjun! They must have seen the heavy machine-gun positions we had arranged, and in such an open area, their cavalry would not have been able to break into our defensive circle. Rushing over, isn't it obvious to die? These cavalrymen are still very smart! ’

'Yes! To deal with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, our heavy machine guns are the most effective! If they dare to rush at us, we will destroy them all! I really want to see how our heavy machine guns slaughter these cavalry of the Eighth Route Army! ’

These Japanese machine gunners were arrogantly looking forward to the time when the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army rushed into battle. They didn't know that these roaming Eighth Route Army scouts were ordered to drive the little devil's cavalry into their defensive circle.

When the cavalry patrol team of the little devils was no longer visible on the periphery, Wang Tianlin, who was sitting in the command room, immediately said: "Okay! We're going to hurry up tonight too! Command the artillery brigade, which could carry out artillery shelling of the village.

At the same time, the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division was ordered to carry out artillery fire together with the artillery brigade. I'm going to let the little devils know what artillery coverage is. In the past two days, they have always let their artillery run rampant, and tonight let them also feel the power of our artillery. ”

'Yes, Chief of Staff! ’

'That's right! In addition, tell the 2nd Cavalry Division to wait and let them follow the armored regiment for a surprise attack. Wait for the Second Regiment of the Reconnaissance Brigade to cooperate with the armored regiment to make a quick assault, and what the Second Cavalry Division has to do is to rush in and disrupt their defensive formation for me.

For the rest of the troops, all they have to do is tighten their pockets. Tonight, I will completely annihilate the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army. The dog's mother, I still want to join the 12th Division, let them go underground together tomorrow! ’

For Wang Tianlin and the commanders of the Second Division, the battle and retreat in the past few days really made them feel a little depressed. After all, retreating as a soldier is somewhat humiliating. Not to mention, they are the main forces that are keen to attack.

Fortunately, they all know that the commander is playing a big game of chess. And tonight is the time for them to reap the fruits of victory. I've been accumulating a few days of depression, and tonight it's almost time to vent it.

Just as the wing commanders of the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were gathering in the temporary operational command room of the small village to discuss the tasks of each wing tomorrow. Three fiery flares flew into the air, instantly making them realize that all deployment was in vain.

Because, they can't see the sun rising tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
