The eyes of the whole of North China are focused on this small village called Xingshutai, the closest to here is the Japanese army brigade stationed in Lianggang, they are the first to send reinforcements, two squadrons and two companies of the Imperial Association Army took a truck, and they wanted to come to the rescue that night, but as soon as they left Lianggang Town, the truck was bombed by a mine, and there were shouts of killing and gunfire everywhere, which frightened this group of devils to retreat.

Okamura Ninji personally spoke to Kuroda on the radio, telling him that the front army was organizing troops to rescue them, and asked Kuroda to gather troops, open the blockade of the Eighth Road, and try to get closer to the front line of Lianggang!

A number of troops, including the cavalry group of the Mongolian army stationed in Datong, were ordered to be urgently mobilized, and Kuroda Daisa's immediate superior, Lieutenant General Nishihara Kazuse, the head of the cavalry group, led the urgently assembled cavalry wing, which was the first of all the mobilized troops to set off for Laiyuan.

Subsequently, the 26th Division stationed in Datong also sent a mixed detachment composed of two infantry brigades to the south under the starry night, rushing to the front line of Lingqiu and Laiyuan.

The 27th Division in Tianjin had not yet reached the time to fight in Southeast Asia, and its own infantry brigade was fighting with Kuroda Daisa, and the wounds were almost completely exhausted.

Not to mention the independent Fourth Mixed Brigade, the brigade commander, Major General Mizutake Tsuda, personally led all the remaining infantry combat units of the brigade and regiment, and when he received the order of the front army, he took the train from Yangquan and went straight to Baoding, preparing to transfer from Baoding to Yixian. Go and save your own men in person.

The 110th Division in Shijiazhuang. The 15th Brigade and other units of the Independent Mixed Brigade in Zhuozhou also sent troops. Prepare to attack the edge of the mountainous base area of the Eighth Road from the west side of Baoding to meet the breakthrough of the Kuroda Wing.

At the same time, the Japanese Army Aviation Flight Brigade at Nanyuan Airport, Zhengding Airport, Yangmingbao Airport and other places in Beiping was also ordered to dispatch after dawn to cooperate with the Kuroda Wing to break through and move in!

Although the Japanese army frequently mobilized heavy troops to relieve the siege of Kuroda's wing, from the perspective of the itinerary and the time of participation in the battle, in addition to the army aviation planes that could fly over the battlefield at dawn, the first to support Kuroda was the garrison from Bauhinia Pass to Lianggang. The second was the wing of the 41st Division, which was about to end its sweep at the eastern foot of the Langya Mountain.

The remaining troops will not be able to reach the area near Xingshutai until two days at the earliest, and even if all the garrison troops from Bauhinia Pass to Lianggang are dispatched, there will only be a brigade plus some Imperial Cooperative Army, and they will have to risk being ambushed by the Eighth Route along the highway, and the more than 3,000 Japanese troops at the eastern foot of Langya Mountain will have to beware of the attack of the troops of the First Division of the Eighth Route if they want to enter the east of Xingshutai and climb over the heavy mountain.

This pot of boiling water wants to stop boiling, and the two troops at the eastern foot of Langya Mountain and Lianggang, which are the most reliable in Okamura Ningji's current hands, are actually also boiling water! Which is not without danger around!

However, we couldn't watch the Kuroda Wing being divided and surrounded, eating it bite by bite, and General Okamura, who had not slept all night, still gave an order to this wing of the 41st Division in the early hours of the morning. Immediately end the mopping mission on the spot and immediately gather the troops. Go all out over the mountains and go straight to the good post!

At the same time, give an order to the garrison of Bauhinia Pass, concentrate the troops, and use the fastest speed to meet Kuroda, don't think about the garrison stronghold, it's okay to give up for the time being, can the troops who are gathering and rushing to not even help take back a stronghold?

With this order, the garrisons from Bauhinia Pass, Dalonghua, Fugang and other places at dawn concentrated more than 1,000 people from Lianggang to reinforce Xingshutai!

If it is difficult to break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army, he will immediately deploy the troops and organize a defense on the spot, and he might as well drag the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the peripheral troops to be assembled one after another, and then come up with the tactic of opening fire in the center of the internal and external cooperation, and maybe he can reverse the defeat in one fell swoop.

Kuroda, who finally got rid of the two eight-way attacks, met with the adjutant-general, and also felt that the advice of the commander of Gangcun was good, how could he say that there were thousands of people under him, and it was really embarrassing to be chased and beaten by the eight-way like this, so after discussion, he gathered the embarrassed troops, occupied more than a dozen hills and mountain beams on both sides of the road, and prepared to break through the siege and defend without success!

Before dawn, Kuroda did not let the troops attack the position of Xingshutai Eighth Road, but organized the digging of bunkers and trenches, concentrated ammunition and food, and a large number of materials were discarded on the side of Jiaochang Village, and the supplies that could be collected at hand must be managed and distributed in a unified manner.

This is still a mess without figuring out the situation of personnel and provisions, first found that nearly a thousand people were blocked by the Eighth Route and did not follow! There is also a small village with a few families between the south of Xingshutai and Shangzhuangzi, called Zhaitou Village, the village is halfway up the mountainside, overlooking the road in the valley, and nearly a thousand devils are trapped here in this area.

Many of them are wounded soldiers who can still walk, as well as heavy soldiers and engineers who have no trucks and carts, etc., basically they are all personnel of auxiliary units, just now Kuroda left Shangzhuangzi Village with the cavalry escort team, but he thought that Xingshutai was not far away, so he hurried to meet with the adjutant general, but he didn't expect that the troops had been confused, and those field troops and cavalry units rushed to run first, leaving these second-class troops behind.

Seeing that the cavalry and infantry artillery were so fast, the devils of these logistics troops were also anxious, and they rushed forward in a swarm, not far away, on the road, on the roadbed, in the field under the roadbed, the ghost soldiers who fled had already messed up the formation! Then what kind of baggage team, engineer team, etc., the black lights are all running with each other!

Running and running, some devils feel that the person next to them feels wrong, and the corners of their eyes are swept away, and they are not wearing khaki clothes, nor are they wearing military hats with butt curtains, they are broken! It's eight ways! Why did Balu still run with him!

This nonsense, Balu also found out that it was a devil who ran side by side with him in the field, and he was stunned, and subconsciously the guy in his hand opened fire! It didn't matter if the shot was fired, in an instant, the guns crackled all over the valley!

After Yang Bangzi ordered the merger of the troops, he pursued in the direction where the devil retreated, but he didn't know that the troops that he could see on his hand were integrated together, and followed his orders to pursue along the highway, and the part of the people brought by Gao Yufeng were scattered, and before they got together, hundreds of them knew that they were rushing to Xingshutai, and they were slanted from the mountains, and they wanted to go to the village along the road.

As a result, the Eighth Road and the devil ran side by side for several miles, only then did they find out that something was wrong with each other, and the devils suffered a loss as soon as they exchanged fire, these second-line troops were originally equipped with insufficient guns, and their combat effectiveness was far behind, and the heart of the black light was furious, such a close combat, how could there be eight roads good at melee and field combat, and all of a sudden, the rear team of nearly a thousand devils completely collapsed!

It just so happened that the front Zhaitou Village had been occupied by the outflanked Eight Roads, and the devils were running around like headless flies, but fortunately, the captain of the engineering unit was quite calm, and took more than 200 people to seize a Kanliangzi in the valley east of Zhaitou Village, beckoning the devils who were running around to gather here, and also lit two fires under the earthen beams, as a sign, at least you can see whether it is your own people or the Eight Roads that are running over.

Eight or nine hundred people were squeezed in at once in this small ditch beside the road, and the devils didn't know what to do, but in fact, the ditch under the earthen beam they occupied was only more than three miles away from the nearest field troops in Xingshutai! That's 1.5 kilometers!

If they hadn't rushed into this ditch in a panic, so many people would have been running down the road, and the Eighth Road might not have been able to stop them, but these soldiers of the second-line auxiliary team who were scared now turned their legs and stomachs when they heard the gunshot, and they didn't take a closer look, they thought they were surrounded!
