Time can't be delayed, the sky is already dawn, the chaotic outside troops continue to adjust, and it can't let the Japanese troops in the encirclement smoothly complete the defensive circle and troop adjustment, there is no room for more discussion, Yang Bangzi and the old blind man immediately made a division of labor, Yang Bangzi took the guard company and other troops, to command the three battalions and the troops directly under the regiment to exert pressure on the Kuroda Wing, so as not to let them attack and build positions handily, the old blind man took the communication company to the periphery to deploy the encirclement and deploy troops, and the two made an appointment to contact on the radio.

Not to mention the ten square kilometers of war around Xingshutai, the Japanese troops who came to the rescue from all walks of life moved quite quickly!

More than 1,000 Japanese troops and more than 600 Imperial Cooperative troops who went south from Bauhinia Pass were the most hard-working rescue troops, allowing the puppet army to run mines in front, not caring about the life or death of the puppet army, and from 4 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the morning, they had already advanced to Pocang Township, which was less than 10 kilometers away from Xingshutai.

However, just when the devils were about to rush to the Sand River east of Xingshutai in one go, they encountered a hard nail in the five-acre tree southwest of Pocang! The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the 1st Battalion of the 25th Regiment of the 1st Division, who came from the southern foot of Langya Mountain in the starry night, did not even bother to dig temporary bunkers and positions, and began to attack the devils on the spot!

In the end, it is the main force, don't look at the mountain road a hundred miles away overnight, and the devils are still alive and well, but it is not a simple mountain defense battle, frontal blocking, two wings roundabout, and a bottom-up assault. Get started. Three companies interspersed with movements. gave the devil a joint attack, and the devil had to stop the team and confront the eight roads at the five acres of trees.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the battle of the five acres of trees had not stopped, and more than a thousand devils could not cross the thunder pond by means of artillery bombardment or crowd tactics! He was dragged here by the 25th Regiment of the 1st Division.

It was also the headquarters of the 41st Division of the Devils that had been assembled from Niupiyu, Xitai and other places in the early morning, thinking that this area had been searched and suppressed, and there would no longer be any large troops of the Eighth Road. You can rest assured that you can boldly climb over Langya Mountain and march to Lianggang and other places, but I didn't expect to cross the two mountains in the dark, and encountered a large number of sieges by the main forces of the Eighth Route in Shipian and Yayu!

Among them, the rearguard unit of this wing and the baggage and other troops in the middle were also hit by a quick assault by the Eighth Road that came up at night! In less than ten minutes, these two troops were fiercely attacked, and the Eighth Route Army was almost set up on the devil's marching route, when it suddenly appeared around it, and grenades and machine guns swept towards the ground like a wind, waiting for the devil to understand. After all the eight roads were fought, they disappeared on the mountains!

The troops who rushed over to reinforce saw corpses all over the ground and wounded soldiers who were humming and wailing, and the eight roads were coming quickly. Walk fast, as if you are in your own home, come and go freely. There was no way, the captain of the devil wing ordered no longer to stretch the marching team, maintain a three-way column, and wrap the baggage and others in the middle of the march.

Is it enough to go hand in hand? Didn't walk for half an hour, the east appeared fish belly white, from the map, there are more than 20 miles of mountain road out of the mountain area to Lianggang, in Longwopo, the real resistance battle is coming! Just from the sound of machine gun fire, you can judge that this is the main force of the Eighth Road, don't be busy, there are also small cannons and grenadiers!

Listen, even the Maxim heavy machine gun is like a series of water droplets! Listen, there is more than one Type 92 heavy machine gun! This wing commander has also fought with the Eighth Route for more than five years, and after listening to it for a while, he basically judged that this was at least a main force of the Eighth Road!

That's right! Commander Yang of the first division also made a cost, and the best group of Lu was also transferred from the southern foot of Langya Mountain, and it was directly on the road that this devil must pass through to Lianggang, Longwopo is a road from ancient Huashan, if you want to go over, you can only climb up from the dragon's neck, and the other two sides are cliffs with thousands of cliffs, and you can't fly over with wings!

After gnawing all morning, more than 200 injuries were damaged, and even the platform of the dragon's neck could not be attacked! The captain of the devil's wing came to the front line to supervise the battle, and was injured by the shrapnel of the explosion of two mortar shells shot down from the mountain, and this kind of terrain, if you don't make a good mess of your own wing, it is possible to be surrounded in a narrow valley, no way, this wing commander had to order to change the route of the march, not to go to Lianggang, turn north, go to the relatively gentle mountain, go to Anjiagou, and go to Dalonghua from there.

This is the fastest Japanese rescue force on both roads, all of which were blocked by the troops of the first division, Kuroda's top boss, the lieutenant general of the cavalry group, after setting off from Datong, after a night of travel, he arrived at Lingqiu at dawn, and the commander of the local garrison suggested that after His Excellency the general went to Laiyuan, it was best not to go directly out of the county to the south, but to go to Bauhinia Pass to take the route of Fugang and Lianggang.

This suggestion is worried that the area south of Laiyuan is the old guerrilla area of the Eighth Road, and the current situation is unknown, and this cavalry lieutenant general does not bring an infantry team with him, so more than 2,000 cavalry will be plunged into the mountains, and it will not be good to turn around and become the second Abe Guixiu!

Lieutenant General Nishihara Kazuse, the commander of the cavalry group, did not believe in this evil, he saw from the map that if he went south directly from Laiyuan, took Baishi Mountain, and attacked all the way to the east from there, it was exactly behind the Eighth Road besieging Kuroda, and with the impact and combat effectiveness of the cavalry, he could tear open the encirclement of the Eighth Road at once, so that he could not only solve Kuroda's predicament, but also defeat the bold and reckless Eighth Road!

It's a good idea, but you don't look at the terrain your cavalry is going through! In addition to the mountain beams are patches of ravines, the terraces are one after another, and the deep ravines are one after another, and the 224th and 222nd Wings suffered losses in this area, so isn't Abe Norihide also trapped because of this terrain.

It was also thanks to the fact that the chief of staff and others brought by the lieutenant general were quite sober and tried their best to dissuade him, and his Excellency the lieutenant general agreed to rest at the source and go to the Bauhinia Pass at dusk to join up with the infantry of the independent 4th mixed brigade that had gone to reinforce and go south together.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade also moved quickly, but the brigade commander, Major General Mitake Tsuda, knew in his heart that his subordinate, Kuroda's temporary adjutant general, had secretly called, saying that the current situation had not yet reached the worst, and that the Eighth Route was just surrounding and wanted to eat these thousands of people, and I was afraid that they were still waiting for other troops to come.

That's why the brigade commander didn't rush to the road like the cavalry lieutenant general, he didn't want to make his subordinates too tired, otherwise he could rush to the battlefield, and the soldiers' physical strength would be exhausted, what kind of battle would they fight?

The other troops who were rushing were still on the road, and on the first day of the siege of the Kuroda Wing, there were so many troop movements and battles on the outer front. (To be continued......)
