In fact, the cunning Yoshio Kozuka had already rendezvous with the 1st Infantry Brigade of the little devil an hour ago, and after meeting Yoshio Kozuka, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the little devil fled to the east recklessly.

Sitting in the bumpy truck cab, Yoshio Kotsuka still has a lingering heart, and after a long time, it wasn't until he looked at the thousands of little devils in front of him who were marching all the way that Yoshio Kotsuka was in a better mood, and Yoshio Kozuka, who had been panicking all night, saw that he was a little safer, and a wave of sleepiness came to him, and he fell asleep while sitting in the cab.

About two hours later, Yoshio Kozuka, who was sleeping soundly, was hurriedly woken up by the brigade commander of the little devil, who opened his hazy eyes and looked at the brigade commander of the major general of the little devil who was currently panicking.

The brigade commander of the little devil brigade with a panicked face said anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of the vanguard of the front, thousands of eight roads have been discovered more than ten kilometers ahead, and it seems that they are trying to block our advance. ”

"Baga, how can there be eight roads."

Yoshio Kozuka, who had become a frightened bird, woke up from sleep in fright, hurriedly got out of the truck, and took his telescope to carefully observe the nearby terrain, only to see that the surrounding area was flat, not suitable for battle.

After looking at it for a long time, Yoshio Kotsuka saw that a few kilometers ahead, there were a few hills that were not high, but because of the distance, he couldn't see very clearly, so Yoshio Kotsuka quickly adjusted his binoculars and finally saw the terrain in front of him clearly.

In the open field, there are several connected loess hills in front of them, although the mountains are not very high, only two or three hundred, but the area is several square kilometers. A plan came to Yoshio Kozuka's mind.

"Yo Xi", Yoshio Kozuka smiled happily, then pointed to the hill in the distance, and said to the brigade commander of the little devil: "Seeing that there is no hill in front, order the troops, immediately enter the hill, build fortifications, and wait for reinforcements." ”

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade said cautiously: "If that happens, we will be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and it will be dangerous then." ”

"No, as long as we hold on for a few hours, the 10th and 16th divisions will break through the defense line of the Jin Sui army, this is not far from Shouyang, our reinforcements will arrive soon, then we will come to a center to blossom, and together we will annihilate all the eight roads here."

"However, I heard that the Eighth Route Army has a large number of heavy artillery, and we have thousands of people on the hills, if the Eighth Route Army bombards us with heavy artillery, we will suffer a lot."

"Do you know, the heavy artillery group of the Eighth Route Army bombarded Taiyuan City for so long yesterday, I estimate that there are very few shells in the heavy artillery group of the Eighth Route Army now." Yoshio Ozuka said confidently......

At this time, Zhang Yunfei was sitting in an off-road vehicle, pursuing eastward with several thousand members of the cavalry regiment, and nearly 20,000 Eighth Route Army behind was marching rapidly.

Zhang Yunfei only left one regiment of the 136th Division and one regiment of the 129th Division in Taiyuan City, and two regiments of 5,000 or 6,000 people stayed in Taiyuan, on the one hand, he could clear the remnants of the enemy in the city, and on the other hand, he could control the large amount of captured materials and maintain law and order in the city.

Thousands of little devils fled, and the traces left on the road were still obvious, Zhang Yunfei led the cavalry regiment, and it didn't take long to find the place where the little devils fled and passed, and followed the traces to pursue all the way.

Three hours later, Zhang Yunfei, who was sitting in the off-road vehicle, saw that there seemed to be a large number of people on the small hills in front of him, and there were intermittent gunfire in front of him.

Zhang Yunfei picked up his telescope and looked forward, only to see that a few kilometers ahead, thousands of eight roads were scattered at the foot of the mountain, and thousands of little devils on the mountain were starting to exchange fire.

The little devils on the mountain built several ring fortifications, and the attack of the Eighth Route Army under the mountain was not smooth, and the Eighth Route Army saw that its attack was blocked, so it adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking, waiting for its own reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Yunfei and Division Commander Liu led thousands of people from the cavalry regiment to arrive first, and seeing that the little devil he was chasing was in front, Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to speed up their march.

After a while, the large army came to the foot of the mountain, less than a kilometer away from the ring fortifications on the Little Devil Mountain, Zhang Yunfei and Division Commander Liu got off one after another, and Zhang Yunfei carefully observed the little devils on the mountain.

Obviously, the little devil wants to rely on the geographical advantage and wait for help, Zhang Yunfei also knows that at present, the two divisions of the little devil are desperately attacking the blocking position of the Jin Sui army, and the little devil on the mountain is pinning his hopes on his two divisions to break through the position of the Jin Sui army and come here to meet him.

The little devils on the mountain are also very cunning, digging a few trenches along the mountain and deploying several defense lines, if the Eighth Route Army charges directly, it may suffer heavy casualties, and may not be able to capture the mountain in a short time.

Zhang Yunfei observed for a long time, and had a plan in his heart, at present, his troops are basically cavalry, cavalry is not suitable for mountain warfare, the cavalry target is too large, if you attack it directly, it will become a live target for the little devil, and this kind of loss-making business will not be done.

At present, the most effective way is to use shelling, but at the moment there are really not many shells for 155-mm howitzers, and there are only a few hundred left.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei said to the cavalry commander next to him: "Commander Sun, at present, the task of your regiment is to maneuver on the periphery and wait for the arrival of the large army. ”

After assigning the task to Sun Chuanzhi, Zhang Yunfei asked the signal corps to send a report to the Second Artillery Regiment, and sent an artillery battalion to bring all the remaining artillery shells and rush here to have an urgent combat mission. The artillery regiment is towed by trucks, and the marching speed is still relatively fast, and it is estimated that it will arrive here in about two hours.

When Zhang Yunfei had just finished assigning the task, Xie Baoguo of the Reading Group ran over in a hurry, saw Zhang Yunfei, saluted happily, and shouted loudly: "Good chief." ”

As soon as he finished greeting Zhang Yunfei, he saw that his division commander was also here not far away, so he immediately ran over to greet Division Commander Liu, and after saying hello, Xie Baoguo looked at Zhang Yunfei with hope and said, "Two leaders, assign combat missions to our reading force group." ”

Zhang Yunfei patted Xie Baoguo on the shoulder and comforted: "Commander Xie, don't worry, wait for a battle, at present, the task of your regiment is to defend, not to attack, and when the time comes, then rush up the mountain with everyone to eliminate the little devils on the mountain." ”

"Yes," Xie Baoguo said, loudly.

Watching Xie Baoguo leave, Zhang Yunfei and Division Commander Liu exchanged battle plans again, and the two agreed that they could start the offensive just by waiting for the arrival of the large army.
