"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm going to send a telegram to the front-line troops." Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, Hideyoshi Kusuyama turned around and walked out with a bang, and went to send a telegram to the front-line support troops.

He also knew that there could not be a mistake in the current situation, otherwise the troops of more than 20,000 people would be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, and their First Army would become the laughing stock of the entire Route Army.

When the front-line support reinforcement unit received a telegram from the headquarters, it immediately began to organize a death charge. Desperate to break the resistance from the opposite side and go to the rescue of the 21st Division.

The pressure of the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the 358th Regiment suddenly increased, and several times they were almost opened by the little devils to break through, but they were all pushed back by the soldiers desperately, but the casualties were a little large.

…………

On a dirt slope on the outskirts of Pinggu Town, Chu Yunfei was holding a telescope and looking at the situation on the battlefield in the distance.

"Tuanza, the Japanese army is like they don't want to die, they have already launched three charges against us, and the casualties are indeed too great, or let's get out of the way and let them pass." Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei and said anxiously.

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, and then said in a firm tone: "The Japanese army is in such a hurry to go over for reinforcements, it must be that the 21st Division can't hold on, and we can't let them go at this time, even if we want to let them go, we have to wait until Li Yunlong finishes his work." ”

Chu Yunfei did this not only to be a good person, but mainly because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge his previous revenge.

"Tuanza, but is it worth it for us to help Li Yunlong so desperately?"

"As long as the devil can be eliminated, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it, and if the order continues, even if the troops are finished, the enemy cannot be allowed to pass through our defense area." Chu Yunfei shouted loudly at Fang Ligong.

He is also on fire now, and he is not poor in his heart, why can't he Li Yunlong do himself, he is carrying a head on two shoulders, he doesn't think that he is anything less than Li Yunlong.

And compared to Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei graduated from a regular military academy, and he has a pride in his heart.

After Chu Yunfei's order was issued, although the low-level commanders of the 358 regiment on the front line were a little resistant, they also had to carry out Chu Yunfei's order, who made the family the regiment commander, he was the biggest here.

…………

At this time, in the direction of Anhua County, the battle was nearing the end, under the attack of more than 20,000 people of the new regiment, it took only more than three hours to break through the outer wall of Anhua County, although the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army was very tenacious, but under the disparity in strength, it had to retreat into the city and engage in street fighting with the new regiment.

The two sides fought fiercely in the streets and alleys, fighting back and forth, and although the new regiment had the advantage of troops, it could not be used at all in the street fighting.

After all, the battlefield is too small to accommodate so many people.

"Zhang Dabiao, what's the matter, it's been so long and the progress is so slow?" Li Yunlong came to the city and saw that there was no progress for a long time, so he found Zhang Dabiao and yelled at him.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao said with some grievances: "Commander, you really can't blame me for this, it's the little devils who are too cunning, and they don't have direct contact with us, so they occupy the commanding heights of this street to stop us from advancing, the alley is so small, we can't show it even if there are many people." ”

Zhang Dabiao is not to blame for this, anyone who encounters it has a headache, but the headache will be a headache and cannot be consumed here, and the county seat of Anhua must be taken down in the shortest possible time, otherwise when the devil reinforcements arrive, they will be in danger.

So Li Yunlong thought for a while and said, "Tear down your people and let Wei Dayong lead the elite team to go up." ”

At this time, Li Yunlong didn't have time to think about it, although it was a bit overkill to let the elite team do this work, and there would be a lot of casualties, but now he can't take care of so much.

After all, a submachine gun in each of the elite squads can definitely play a huge role in street fighting, although the range of impulsiveness is not as good as rifles and machine guns, but it is very suitable for close-range street fighting.

After Li Yunlong gave the order, Zhang Dabiao quickly withdrew with a battalion of soldiers. When the devil saw the Eighth Route Army retreating, he thought they had given up the attack, but before they could be happy for too long, they saw a group of people with different equipment rushing up.

Wei Dayong led more than 100 soldiers of the elite squad, rushed into the alley with submachine guns in hand, and then strafed the target, and the devils on the opposite side couldn't raise their heads.

Wei Dayong led the charge with the members of the elite squad, while Zhang Dabiao followed closely behind with a battalion of soldiers.

Soon, the soldiers of the new regiment rushed to the location of the devil's headquarters, and when they arrived here, the devil's resistance was even more fierce, but they were already powerless, and it was only a matter of time before they were taken by the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Japanese were throwing themselves into resistance, they themselves knew the problem, so the commander of the 21st Division, after sending a farewell letter to Yoshio Shinozuka, decisively burned the classified documents and the wing flag, and then took a room of officers to prepare to commit suicide.

After all, they also knew that even if they fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, they would not end well.

And after he was captured, he would also affect the family members who stayed in the homeland, but the sky was not as good as expected, and when they just drew their command knives and were about to commit suicide, Wei Dayong rushed in with the soldiers of the elite squad.

Seeing this situation, Wei Dayong didn't say a word, and rushed forward with the soldiers, and all the devil officers and civilian personnel present were all crushed to the ground.

Although Wei Dayong also hated the little devils and wanted to kill all these people, he also knew that with so many big officials, capturing them was more valuable than killing them.

The reason why the devil didn't cause all the actions before Wei Dayong and the others arrived was because they missed the time when they destroyed the documents just now, which gave Wei Dayong and his party the opportunity to take advantage of them and catch them all.

By the time Li Yunlong shouted the Devil's Command, the battle outside had all ended, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield street by street.

"Just let the first battalion and the second battalion stay and clean up, and the other troops hurriedly follow the plan agreed before, go to support the new second regiment and the independent regiment, and strive to keep the devil reinforcements.

Otherwise, when the devil's reinforcements are withdrawn, it will take a lot of effort to eliminate this group of devils.

"Regiment commander, I'd better take the brothers of the first battalion and leave the second battalion to clean up the battlefield." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao hurriedly stood up and said.

"Are you the head of the regiment or am I the commander of the regiment, just do as I say, are you afraid that there will be no war to fight." Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao angrily and said.

"Yes, Captain." Although he was a little entangled, Zhang Dabiao still agreed.

Let Zhang Dabiao take the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, let Wei Dayong take the elite squad to escort more than a dozen devil officers directly to the headquarters, and then Li Yunlong took Zhao Gang around Anhua County.

…………

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in the Taiyuan command post, lost his soul after receiving a telegram from the commander of the 21st Division, knowing that this battle, which lasted more than half a year, would end in his own defeat.

But he is still a little unwilling, even if he fails, he must save the remaining Kwantung Army troops, after all, this is a team of more than 10,000 people, which is very important for them now.

If this army of more than 10,000 people is allowed to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army like this, although it will not hurt his muscles and bones, it will also make him feel pain for a while.

Especially at such an important critical moment, without such a vital force, their First Army will no longer be able to operate against the various units of the Chinese Army.

In the future, they will become very passive, and they can only let the Chinese army do whatever they want, and they can only watch silently.

"Your Excellency Commander, don't be angry first, our primary purpose now is to preserve our strength, and we must ensure that the 22nd Division cannot be eaten by the Eighth Route Army, otherwise it will be too late." Although he saw that Yoshio Shinozuka was angry, Kusunayama Hideyoshi still said boldly.

After all, the battle plans for the past six months have all been designated by him, and he has to pay a large part of the responsibility for the fact that the First Army has been reduced to the point where it is now.

If the 22nd Division is eaten by the Eighth Route Army again, then he will really have to apologize for his death at that time.

Even if Yoshio Shinozuka is willing to let it go, the North China Theater Command will not let it go. After all, this is a force of tens of thousands of people or the Kwantung Army, and they have not suffered such a big loss since they came to China, even if the so-called Hundred Regiment Battle launched by the Eighth Route Army back then, the losses they received were not so great.

Hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Yoshio Shinozuka calmed down for a moment, and then spoke: "Nanshan-kun, go and send a telegram to the front line and ask them to withdraw." ”

After saying this, Yoshio Shinozuka sat on the chair all of a sudden, looking out of the door in distraction, he still couldn't understand why the battle situation had fallen to this point.

This is the Kwantung Army with two divisions, even if it can't completely eliminate the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, it can still beat them back.

But the plot is not written like this, not only did it not wipe out Li Yunlong's troops in a short period of time, but also allowed them to develop and grow in half a year.

Until now, they are about to destroy themselves, could it be that Nanshan Jun's military command ability is not good?

But Li Yunlong has also known about this person, he is an out-and-out mud-legged man, he has never even gone to a regular military school, and he is not full of words, and it is indeed a little breathless to be defeated by such a person.

By the time Nanshan Hideyoshi reached the front line with the news of the retreat, the strength of the six battalions of the new regiment had already been handed over to them, which was all discussed by Li Yunlong and a few of them, and they specially selected a place not far from Anhua County to block the attack, so that after the new regiment took down the 21st division, it was just right to run over to support.

This is a bitter Chu Yunfei, although the 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment with more than 4,000 troops, but the strength of the devils on the other side is not weak, both sides fought for three or four hours, and both suffered heavy casualties.

Although the quality of the individual soldiers of the 358th Regiment is not as good as that of the devils, as a defensive side, relying on the commanding heights and fortifications, it still has dealings with the little devils.

Although they suffered one-third of their own casualties, the little devils did not fall to the advantage, more than 3,000 little devils in the two wings, and only about 2,000 people finally withdrew.

Seeing that the little devil was about to run, although Chu Yunfei wanted to pursue him, he was still persuaded by Fang Ligong. After all, where is the strength of the little devil, a defensive battle just now was fought like that.

If they catch up with the little devils and fight with them, the casualties will not be greater.

Although Chu Yunfei was a little unwilling in his heart, he still followed Fang Ligong's advice, after all, even if he caught up and eliminated all the little devils, if his casualties were too great, his superiors would not reward them, after working in the Jin Sui army for so many years, he still knew how to protect himself.

In the whole battle, except for Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, where more than 2,000 little devils were released, all the other devils were annihilated by the new first regiment, the new second regiment and the independent regiment.

Although its own casualties were not small, it was all worth it, after all, as the victorious side, the wounded of the three regiments could be treated.

Unlike the wounded of the devils, as the losing side, even if there are wounded, they are mended by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Anyway, according to Li Yunlong's meaning, if he didn't save a prisoner, except for the group of devil officers who were captured when he attacked the 21st Division before, all the other little devils were killed.

Anyway, ordinary little devil soldiers are not as valuable as those officers, and even if they are captured by themselves, they only waste food.

After the battle, Li Yunlong ignored the fatigue of the soldiers and discussed with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and all the troops of the three regiments took the initiative to attack the other five county towns around Ping'an County.

Just take advantage of the lack of devils' troops to expand their territory, otherwise it will be difficult to wait for the little devils to ease up.

Because the Japanese army came to participate in this battle, there were not many devil soldiers left in the other five county towns, and most of them were puppet soldiers, so the troops sent by Li Yunlong did not waste much effort to defeat the five county towns.

But now, in this place in the southwest of Shanxi, although the Eighth Route Army only has three regiments, it occupies these seven county seats.

Li Yunlong's new regiment occupied three county defense areas, while the new second regiment and the independent regiment each occupied two counties.

In order to thank Kong Jie and Ding Wei for helping him stop the devils, Li Yunlong also took out a part of his captured share and distributed it to the two regiments.

After all, they are all members of the Eighth Route Army, and they are in the same area, and when they look up and don't look down, they can't just eat alone, otherwise they will have no friends if they always do this.

Moreover, the new regiment did capture a lot of weapons and equipment in this battle, more than 10,000 rifles were captured from the devils alone, as well as the puppet army afterward.

Even if a part is divided, what remains will be enough for a new regiment to expand the troops.

In the days after the battle, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had been busy with the management of the three county towns, and even the little devils he had put aside. Because Li Yunlong knew that the current devils were no longer able to return to heaven, and after losing the Kwantung Army with two divisions, they were no longer a threat to themselves.
