Forward observation post of the 358th Regiment.

Chu Yunfei's face gradually became solemn.

Because the evolution of the battle situation was completely different from what he expected, and it was also very different from what Wang Ye envisioned.

"Tuanza, the situation is not good." Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said, "Our original assumption was that the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army would launch a strong attack directly on the frontal ridge where the 1st Battalion was stationed. ”

"This gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the favorable terrain to kill a large number of enemies."

"Then there was a chance to provoke the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army."

"Then lead the enemy to the preset battlefield of Feiyundu."

"But now, the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry has not attacked at all."

"On the contrary, Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion is now facing a huge threat."

"Once the Japanese cavalry on both flanks has completed the outflanking, the 1st Battalion will be in a dilemma of being attacked on three sides, what will we do then? To save or not to save? ”

"If you don't save it, the 1st Battalion will definitely be more than lucky."

"But if the main force of the regiment is dispatched to the rescue, a decisive battle will be formed."

"This will not only destroy the entire battle plan formulated before the war, but also make our 358th Regiment face the great danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army!"

"After all, Taiyuan and Anhua are not far away."

"Japanese troops from both directions can arrive within three hours."

Chu Yunfei didn't speak, but the hands behind his back were subconsciously tapping his fingers.

At this time, Lin Zhiqiang, an operational staff officer, suddenly said: "Tuanzao, why don't you let the 1st Battalion withdraw in advance." ”

Fang Ligong nodded and said: "Before the Japanese cavalry has time to form an encirclement on all sides, it is not a bad idea to let the 1st Battalion withdraw in advance, the problem is that in this way, the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry will have almost no losses, and there will be no possibility of being provoked, so the entire battle plan will be completely ruined." ”

After a pause, Fang Ligong continued: "The orders of the attendant office and the commander's subordinates to block the southward movement of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry at all costs cannot be completed. ”

"Not really." Chu Yunfei said suddenly.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to generalize."

"Inflicting heavy damage on the enemy and provoking the enemy can certainly complete the task of luring the enemy,"

"However, it is just as possible to show weakness to the enemy and make the enemy arrogant enough to lure the enemy."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said again: "Pass my order, the 1st Battalion will withdraw immediately, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions will no longer have to alternately cover according to the original plan." ”

"Let them gather for me right away."

"Retreat along Feiyungou to Feiyundu."

"Throw some baggage at the right time during the retreat."

"Even heavy machine gun mounts can be thrown away."

……

Outside the mouth of the pig.

Kojima Yoshizo had already climbed to the top of a towering earthen platform with the Ryobe orange tree and Hashimoto Tsuyoshi.

The height of this earthen platform is basically the same as the height of the ridge guarded by the Jin Sui army in front, so you can observe every move of the Jin Sui army in front from the earthen platform.

At this time, Kojima Yoshizo is talking eloquently.

"Sun Tzu has clouds, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and multiple will divide it."

"The strength of the Jin Sui Army in front is only more than 1,000 people, which is almost half of the 4th Brigade of our cavalry, which just coincides with the battlefield elements of multiplication."

"In view of this, it is necessary to divide the forces to attack it."

"That's why I ordered the Sato squadron and the Takebe squadron to outflank the two wings."

The orange tree in the mausoleum was dumbfounded, is this how Sun Tzu's multiple rules in the Art of War are interpreted? Shouldn't it be a way to disperse the enemy's forces and break them individually?

Why did you become outflanked by yourself?

Hashimoto Tongyi was a crazy fart: "The brigade commander is really well-read and strong-minded, and he has the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he can be called the master of the imperial art of war." ”

"Eh, don't dare to be a master of the art of war."

Kojima Yoshizo said: "Barely a master of war." ”

The orange tree of the mausoleum suddenly looked constipated when he heard this, these two guys are really shameless.

While he was talking, the Jin Sui army on the ridge in front of him suddenly turned around and retreated, and the orange tree in the mausoleum was the first to find it, and suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Oh, brigade commander, the Jin Sui army has withdrawn!" ”

"Nani?" Hashimoto Tongyi was surprised, "Did the Jin Sui army actually withdraw?" ”

"I expected this for a long time." Kojima Yoshizo said abruptly, "The art of war is cloudy, the enemy can fight, if there is less, you can escape, if not, you can avoid it, the strength of the Jin Sui army is not as good as the imperial army, and retreat is the inevitable result." ”

Lingbu Tangerine Tree thought to himself, this time he finally did not misinterpret Sun Tzu's Art of War, but it was all nonsense.

Hashimoto asked again: "Brigade commander, the Jin Sui army has withdrawn, so should we chase it or not?" ”

Kojima Yoshizo just wanted to say that there was no need to chase anymore, and it was important to go south to southern Henan, but before he could say anything, a communications staff officer had already climbed onto the earth platform out of breath.

"Brigade commander." The communications staff officer paused.

"The command of the 1st Army has just sent an urgent telegram."

Kojima Yoshizo held his saber and waved his hand, "Nian." ”

"Hello." The communications staff officer immediately unfolded the telegram and read, "The 4th Cavalry Brigade:"

"The army in the northwest of Jin is cunning and fierce, if the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army retreats, remember not to pursue it, let it escape on its own, and take the south to support the southern Henan battlefield as the first priority."

Lingbu Tangerine Tree thought so, and felt that he couldn't entangle with the Jin Suijun in this ghost place.

Because the orange tree of the mausoleum found that the terrain here was too strange and very unfriendly to the cavalry.

After listening to the telegram, Hashimoto Tongyi habitually slapped a sycophant: "Did the people of the 1st Army scare the Chinese army in the northwest of Jin?" ”

"Just more than a thousand Jin Sui troops made them nervous like this."

"And let my 4th Cavalry Brigade remember not to pursue it."

"The warriors of our 4th Cavalry Brigade are not like these idiots."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Kojima Yoshizo and said: "The commander of our brigade is a master of the art of war in the empire, how can it be compared to those stupid staff officers of the 1st Army General Staff?" ”

Hearing this, Kojima Yoshizo was extremely comfortable.

At the same time, it also hooked the ambition in the heart of Kojima Yoshizo.

Since the people of the 1st Army despise them so much, then they might as well fight a victory in the northwest of Jinxi, and let those fools of the 1st Army take a good look at how to fight the war.

Anyway, it won't take long to finish this battle.

Kojima Yoshizo estimated that the battle should be over before dark.

At that moment, Kojima Yoshizo instructed the communications staff officer: "Kobayashi-kun, pass on my order, the 25th and 26th Cavalry Wings immediately launch a pursuit of the retreating Jin Sui army, and the Sato squadron and Takebe squadron with roundabout wings do not need to rush to meet with the large force, and continue to outflank the Jin Sui army from the ridge. ”

"Hello!"

……

Killing pigs is a typical terrain of the Loess Plateau.

Thousands of years of rain have washed out a series of ravines on the originally flat loess plateau, which are like the teeth of a comb, extending in the same direction from the loess plateau one by one, with different lengths and different depths, some stretching for several kilometers and a depth of more than 100 meters.

Some are only a few hundred meters long and more than a dozen meters deep.

However, the ravines of this road greatly hindered the movement of the cavalry.

The cavalry could only pursue along the bottom of the curved ravine, and could not outflank the shortcut.

At this time, Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion had already converged with the main force of the 358th Regiment and was rapidly retreating along the Feiyun Valley, which stretched for more than ten kilometers, towards Feiyundu.

Qian Bojun walked quickly to Chu Yunfei, gasped and said, "Tuanzao, why did you retreat?" I'm still thinking about killing pigs and fighting the little devils. ”

"It's good if you have this ambition."

Chu Yunfei said: "Don't worry, I will give you a chance." ”

Qian Bojun was stunned when he heard this, thinking that I just said this, are you still serious? Who the fuck wants to fight a little devil? But you can't say that.

"Tuanza! The vanguard of the devil cavalry has caught up! ”

As he spoke, Sun Ming had already caught up with the Tiger Squadron.

Fang Ligong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Tuanzao, the devil cavalry has really taken the bait." ”

Chu Yunfei's heart was also overjoyed, but on the surface, his face was indifferent: "Hmph, this is also an expected result." ”

After speaking, he shouted: "Communication soldiers." ”

A communications soldier ran forward.

Chu Yunfei said again: "Give the 2nd Battalion an order, leave a company in each ditch along the way, and fight to block the attack!" ”

"Yes!" The signal soldier was equipped with a horse, and immediately turned over his horse and galloped away.

"Let's go!" Chu Yunfei whipped a horsewhip on the horse stock of the war horse under his crotch, and shouted, "Throw away some more baggage, and throw away all those unnecessary ones." ”

……

In a huge ravine with a width of more than 50 meters,

The men and horses of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry Regiment were chasing forward in a mighty manner.

Because there had been a snowfall a few days ago, the ravine was covered with snow, but it was not deep, just past the horse's hooves, but there was no flying loess.

It's still very pleasant to ride a horse in such terrain, but the weather is colder.

The orange tree of the Mausoleum rode up to Kojima Yoshizo and said loudly: "Brigade commander, don't chase, you have already deviated from the road for at least five kilometers, and it is very likely that you will be ambushed if you chase it again." ”

"Ambush?" Kojima Yoshizo said abruptly, "Ryobe-kun, please tell me how to ambush soldiers in this kind of terrain?" ”

The orange trees of the mausoleum looked up at the sides and couldn't help but be speechless, because the soil slopes on both sides of the ravine were bare, there was almost no vegetation, and the view was simply clear, and this kind of terrain could not hide the army at all.

However, there are many small ravines on both sides of this large ravine at the foot of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army.

At that moment, the orange tree of the mausoleum pointed at the small ravines that stretched on both sides of the big ravine, and said loudly: "These small ravines can hide ambush soldiers!" ”

As if to verify the judgment of the orange tree in the mausoleum, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the front.

Immediately, a signal soldier rode back and reported: "Brigade commander, the Chinese army has divided about 100 men and held them in a small ravine on the side, trying to prevent the imperial army from continuing the pursuit. ”

Hashimoto Tongyi smiled and said, "Lingbe-kun, is this the ambush you just said?" ”

"I've been thinking of this for a long time." Kojima Yoshizo laughed, and said, "These small ditches are cramped, and there are not many people to hide, and they are hiding in the small ditch, and the shooting range is limited, so they can't attack the imperial army." ”

The orange tree of the tomb was dumb again, because Kojima Yoshizo was right, the Jin Sui army hid in the small ditch on the side, and indeed could not attack the Japanese army in the big ravine.

And if the Jin Sui army rushes out of the small ravine and comes to the big ravine,

Then in a relatively open and flat ditch, the infantry of the Jin Sui army will be tortured and killed by the Japanese cavalry.

At this time, Hashimoto asked Kojima Yoshizo: "Brigade commander, do you want to wipe out the small units of the Jin Sui Army hiding in the small ravine on the side one by one?" ”

"No need."

Kojima Yoshizoichi waved his hand and said, "Hasn't Hashimoto-kun read the Cao Di polemic?" ”

"Cao Di's polemic?" Hashimoto shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've even heard the name Cao Di, let alone read his works on the art of war. ”

Kojima Yoshizo said: "Cao Xiqi is a master of the art of war in the Tang Dynasty of China. ”

The orange tree in the mausoleum was stunned when he heard it, wasn't Cao Di a military strategist of the Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period?

Kojima Yoshizo continued: "I see it as chaotic and hope that its flag will fall, so I will chase it away. ”

"Today, the Jin Sui army is already in a chaotic formation, and there are many abandoned baggage along the way, which shows that its military spirit has collapsed, and at this time, it should catch up with their main force in one go, and there is no need to entangle too much with its broken troops."

Speaking of this, he said: "This is the Jin Suijun's plan to survive, don't be fooled." ”

"Sodesnay." Hashimoto Tongyi said with a look of admiration, "The brigade commander is worthy of being a master of the art of war. ”

This time, even the Tachibana of the Tomb nodded imperceptibly, feeling that what Kojima Yoshizo said made sense.

At present, the orange tree of the tomb did not say more, and rode back to the ranks of his 25th cavalry wing.

At this moment, a Type 96 land attack plane of the Air Force roared over the ravine, and the pilot saw the Japanese troops in the ravine at a glance through the glass portholes.

……

The movement of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry was soon transmitted back to Taiyuan.

"Nani?" Hua Gu Zheng was stunned and said, "The 4th Cavalry Brigade has entered Feiyun Gully? ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio's brows also frowned, and Kojima Yoshizo's reaction caught him a little off guard.

"Your Excellency, this is a trap!" Sakamoto Takaichi said in a deep voice, "The 4th Cavalry Brigade must be asked to stop the pursuit immediately, otherwise there will be danger!" ”

"Call the North China Front Command immediately."

Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a dark face: "I ask Your Excellency the General to give an order directly to the 4th Cavalry Brigade." ”

The 4th Cavalry Brigade is subordinate to the cavalry group and belongs to the formation of the Mongolian army, and Iwamatsu Yoshio, as the commander of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi, is not qualified to directly give orders to the 4th Cavalry Brigade, but can only suggest.

"Hello!" Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, was stunned and hurried back to the communications room.

Seeing that Iwamatsu Yoshio was a little worried, Hanaya said, "Your Excellency Commander doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"The 4th Cavalry Brigade went south to fight this time, although it did not carry a cavalry artillery wing and a combat convoy, but it had at least two cavalry wings of nearly 3,000 imperial cavalry!"

"Even if the Chinese army in the northwest of Jin really set a trap,"

"It is impossible to wipe them all out in a short period of time."

"However, the 4th Cavalry Brigade only needs to hold out for three hours,"

"The 9th Brigade Regiment going north from Taiyuan and the 2 infantry wings going south from Anhua can arrive."

Speaking of this, Hua Guzheng suddenly chuckled and continued: "Your Excellency Commander, in fact, I think that the unauthorized pursuit of the 4th Cavalry Brigade this time is not necessarily a bad thing, hehe. ”

"Nani?" Iwamatsu Yoshio said, "Do you mean to take the opportunity to gather and annihilate the Chinese army? ”

"Yes." Hua Guzheng nodded and said, "If the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army of the Central Army in the northwest of Jin really dare to come, then it will definitely be difficult to escape the end of being annihilated by the imperial army." ”

"Innocent!" Ryuichi Sakamoto's EQ is really low, and he actually reverted to his old ways.

Unexpectedly, he once again spoke disrespectfully against his immediate boss, Chief of Staff Hanayamasa.

He also said: "Not to mention whether the reinforcements of the 9th Brigade and the 2nd Guards Division can arrive at the battle site within two hours, even if they can arrive within two hours, the chief of staff really believes that the 4th Cavalry Brigade can hold out for two hours under the onslaught of the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army of China?" ”

"Yaga!" Hanaya said angrily.

"Sakamoto-kun, what's your attitude?"

"Hello!" Ryuichi Sakamoto realized that he had offended his boss again.

The next apology was apologetic: "My tone was indeed not very good just now, I apologize to the chief of staff, but my judgment just now is not wrong, chief of staff, your opinion is really very naïve." ”

Taku Mizuhara next to him couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, this guy Sakamoto is really ......

Hanaya Masa's face was already black to the bottom of the pot, and he wanted to strangle Ryuichi Sakamoto to death.

But in his heart, he has secretly made up his mind that he will definitely send this guy away another day.

Iwamatsu Yoshio also didn't quite believe Ryuichi Sakamoto's judgment, and frowned and asked: "Sakamoto-kun, you said that the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army of the Northwest of Jin can eat the 4th Cavalry Brigade in two hours?" ”

"Absolutely." Ryuichi Sakamoto said categorically, "When we swept the Taihang bandit area before, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army annihilated three detachments of our 1st Army overnight!" ”

"Although now the 386 Brigade has been hit hard."

"But in the face of such a fierce and warlike army,"

"No matter how much the imperial army attaches importance to it, it will not be too heavy, and the enemy should be lenient!"

"What's more, there are more than 5,000 people in the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and there is also an American-style mountain artillery battalion!"

Speaking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "Your Excellency, whether it is a violation or not, please immediately and directly give an order to the 4th Cavalry Brigade to prohibit them from continuing the pursuit!" ”

"At the same time, the 9th Brigade and the 2nd Guards Division were ordered to speed up."

"In order to save the situation as much as possible, you can first send two infantry brigades to advance lightly!"

Although Ryuichi Sakamoto's tone was very stinky, his point of view made sense, and Iwamatsu Yoshio turned his head to Hanaya Masashi after a little hesitation: "Hanaya-kun, do what Sakamoto-kun says." ”

Hanaya was very unhappy, but he could only obey.

ps: About the hand-drawn sketch in the easter egg chapter, it's just a schematic diagram, in order to look intuitive, I deliberately strengthened the terrain features, the real terrain will definitely not be so regular, as for whether there is really such a terrain in the mountains, as long as you look for it carefully, you can definitely find it, the real world is actually much more exciting than the world.
