…… The forward troops who rushed out of the 358th Regiment were all annihilated in an open area not far away by the Eighth Route Army, which had been re-killed!!

When the news reached the temporary headquarters of the Sakata United, several devil captains were all shocked.

In this short period of a few dozen minutes, the Bantian United lost more than a quarter of its strength (after the battle of Cangyunling, plus Chu Yunfei's sneak attack, counting the eight or nine hundred devils that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong destroyed, the Bantian United only had nearly 3,000 troops left).

But how is this possible?

Just the equipment of the Eighth Route Army?

The Devil's Command Headquarters has only now received the news, and it is also helpless, the artillery blockade of the 358th Regiment was too fierce, and the people who rushed out were all lightly armed infantry, and they did not bring any fast and effective communication equipment.

In addition, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie moved too fast, they attacked without sparing, and directly besieged them on three sides, leaving no way for the devils to live, and the devils who rushed out of the defense area did not even have time to send messengers back to ask for help, and they were slaughtered in the tragic white-knuckle battle.

In front of him, a company of the 358th Regiment erected a number of heavy machine gun fortifications under Chu Yunfei's order, and stubbornly blocked the exit of the second node.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army, which was waiting outside the defense area, was eyeing it.

The devils had to admit that the rabbit they thought was being chased had turned into a tiger at the moment.

The three devil captains of the Japanese army headquarters were a little desperate for a while, and the small second node in front of them was like an insurmountable moat, and it seemed that they could not cross it.

Even if you rush over, there is still a crazy Eighth Route Army over there!

Do you want to go back?

It didn't work at all, the troops who went to the first node of the defense area and retreated were also attacked, and the hateful Chu Yunfei actually made plans early in the morning, and also arranged an ambush at the first node, waiting for the rabbit.

The Bantian Wing was actually trapped in this outer defense area by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment and the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the faces of the officers of the Sakata Wing still had the previous arrogance.

The wing commander and chief of staff, plus a few young assistants, let the Eighth Route Army take out with one shot.

As a result, the revenge was not avenged, and it was jointly blocked by the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army in this outer defense area.

You can't go in, and you can't go back.

In the midst of hesitation, the three devil captains all saw the retreat in each other's eyes.

Although he felt very humiliated, he proudly launched this sweep against the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and originally confidently thought that he could wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

As a result, it ended in a fiasco.

The arrogant old devil Sakata even died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the fact that the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army were hit hard in front of him, the Bantian United at this time had long since lost the edge it had when it first came.

It's like a depressed soup chicken.

"Immediately make a strategic shift!"

To put it bluntly, it is to retreat, to escape......

What bullshit is that the dignity and arrogance of the imperial soldiers are shattered after all when faced with the crisis of death.

Even the last face is gone, and the courage to fight out of the encirclement head-on has been lost.

The remaining devils of the Bantian Wing can't take care of anything, the first node and the second node are blocked by the men and horses of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and there is still the Eighth Route Army outside the second node.

Yes, I don't care about any face, I don't care about any embarrassment, and I will flee wherever there is no enemy.

Directly try to climb over the steep slopes and mountains and forests on the outer line of the 358th Regiment Defense Area, like their dirt eight roads, and if they can't beat it, they will drill into the mountains.

It's just that the imperial warriors, who have always been rampant, have never been able to survive such an embarrassing situation today.

In addition, the steepness of the cliff made it impossible to maintain the formation of the rearguard troops, and some overly panicked devils even accidentally stepped on the air and rolled down the steep cliff directly.

358th Regiment Headquarters.

The news of the Eighth Route Army's total annihilation of the devils who rushed out of the defense area also came.

According to the speculation of the forward observation post, the Eighth Route Army counterattacked this time, and the number of Japanese troops surrounded and completely annihilated was nearly the strength of a brigade.

What is this concept?

He Chu Yunfei used such a large battle, an artillery battalion, and a machine gun, and lured the devils to the outside of his defense area, and then suddenly made a move, even so, the devils who have been eliminated in the battle so far are only four or five hundred.

For this, his 358th Regiment also paid the price of one or two hundred people.

But these Eight Roads have only experienced the battle of Cangyunling, and when they turned around, they actually killed nearly a brigade of devils.

Thinking about the backwardness of the equipment of the Eighth Route Army, is their combat effectiveness already so strong?

"What tactics did Eight Roads use?" Chu Yunfei, who was shocked, couldn't help but ask.

The signal soldier replied: "Report to the regiment, according to our reconnaissance, the three Eighth Route Army went and returned, sneaked up on the Japanese army with fierce firepower, and then launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army with a front and two flanks at the same time, the Japanese army could not react, and the two sides quickly launched a white-knuckle battle, and the Eighth Route Army finally ended the whole battle with a white-knuckle battle. ”

Fang Ligong said: "The Eighth Route has the advantage of troops, the number of Japanese troops who rushed out is not too much, and they did not carry any heavy weapons, and their footing is unstable, so the Eighth Route took the opportunity to launch a full-scale surprise attack, which can completely annihilate the Japanese army." If my guess is correct, the casualties on their side of the Eighth Route Army are probably not small. ”

Chu Yunfei said with emotion: "Soldiers should regard death as home, how can there be no sacrifice in battle?" The important thing is that they won the battle and completely annihilated nearly a large group of Japanese troops, with the equipment and quality of their Eighth Route Army, such a result is unimaginable! ”

Fang Ligong couldn't refute this, the fact is that the Eighth Route Army's return to the horse gun did a good job.

"Tuanza, the devil has chosen to retreat to the mountainous area!" Fang Li Gongdao.

Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "This was expected a long time ago, that was the only way for the Japanese army to retreat, the devils have just been rampant, so even if they braved our firepower to attack before, they still decided to break through from the defense area." ”

"If the Japanese army had chosen to break through from the mountainous direction early in the morning, the casualties would not have been so large."

Fang Ligong said: "The Japanese army probably hasn't given up on breaking through and continuing to pursue the Eighth Route Army. ”

"So, how terrible it is to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, which led to the total loss of the Sakata United, that old devil of Sakata never dreamed that he would be planted in the hands of an opponent who he thought was weak."

Speaking of this, as if self-alert, Chu Yunfei said: "This also reminds us not to look at the Eighth Route Army with the same eyes as before, they are indeed a team that dares to fight and rush." ”

"Brother Meritorious Service, I am suddenly very interested in the generals of these Eighth Route Army, why don't you invite them to come up and talk about it?"

Fang Ligong said: "Tuanza, the battle has just ended. The meeting between the generals of the two sides was so open, the Chief's Department ......"

"Don't worry, you and I are above board, I have something to say on the side of the Chief's Department, besides, knowing yourself and knowing that your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, isn't it good to know your opponent earlier?"

"Yes! The group seat is far-reaching. Fang Ligong was convinced......
