I am helping

In the field of view of Li Yunlong's telescope.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army swooped in from the left and right wings of the Japanese position.

The horseshoe rolled, and the knife light flickered.

At this time, although the bombers and fighter jets had already flown away, the Japanese position was still in a sea of ​​flames, and it was impossible for the cavalry battalion to charge into the sea of ​​flames.

On the top of the mountain occupied by a few devils, flames are burning everywhere, thick smoke is billowing everywhere, and if sparks touch anything, that thing will burn continuously.

Fortunately, the area around here is bare loess terrain, with only dots of drought-resistant bushes and exposed rocks. If there is a forest, it will definitely cause a fire.

Several regiments of infantry followed behind the cavalry and launched a full-scale counterattack against the remaining devils.

Not long after, the figures of the cavalry disappeared from the field of vision of Li Yunlong's telescope.

……

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, the telegram has been sent."

Headquarters of the 9th Brigade, Communications Officer Kenjiro Maruda said to Koshio Toranosuke.

Koshigō Toranosuke's figure was a bit hunched, his face was vicissitudes of life, and his heart was ashamed, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

There was only one squadron of guards and a communications team left beside him.

The entire 8000th Brigade with more than 9 people has been fought in several battles, and now there are only more than 200 people left. Except for some wounded soldiers, they basically died in battle.

The loss was too great, and Koshiko Toranosuke's heart had long been honed in the war to be as cold and hard as a rock, and he couldn't bear such a big blow for a while.

Koshio Toranosuke ordered: "Transfer in immediately!"

"Brigade Commander." The combat staff officer asked with a hesitant expression, "Where are you going?"

Koshio Toranosuke said: "Go to the Tiger Pavilion stronghold!"

The combat staff officer said: "Brigade commander, I suggest turning north, so that we will join the 37th Division soon, and we will be safe."

"what do you know?"

Koshigi Toranosuke said coldly: "There is still a basic amount of ammunition from the 9th Brigade in the Huting stronghold. This batch of ammunition must not fall into the hands of Yalu. We must go to the Huting stronghold to dispose of this batch of weapons and ammunition. "

This time the 9th Brigade brought two base ammunition.

After preparing to wait for Mashiko to advance to the team and finish beheading the Eight Routes, take advantage of the fact that the various departments of the Eight Routes are in a situation where they are fighting on their own.

Then with the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division, they attacked on three sides and wiped out the Eighth Route Base in one fell swoop.

When they came out to fight, the soldiers and artillerymen only carried one base ammunition, and the other base ammunition was still in the Huting stronghold.

"Hi!" The combat staff officer paused and turned to give orders.

At this moment, intensive gunfire sounded from the left and right wings.

A ghost soldier hurried over and reported: "A large number of Eighth Route cavalry were found on the left and right wings!"

"Nani?" The face of the squadron leader of Koshiko Toranosuke's personal guard changed, "Please mount the brigade commander immediately!"

Seeing the groom bring the horse over, Koshio Toranosuke was not pretentious, and immediately got on the horse.

Several staff officers also got on their horses one after another, and then rode their horses to the direction that Huting was afraid of, and hurried away with whips.

"Alternately cover the retreat!" The leader of the Devil Squadron yelled sharply, "Ha Ya Gu, Ha Ya Gu!"

……

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Several Japanese combat staff officers drew red and blue arrows representing the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the map.

The 36th Division, 37th Division, and 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army approached the area of ​​Dagouwan from three directions, and launched a combined attack.

Except that the 36th Division had just set off, the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade had already exchanged fire with the blocking forces of the Eighth Route.

But these blocking troops are not new regiments after all, and they cannot stop the pace and offensive of the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade.

Yoshio Shinozuka was full of ambition.

It only takes the 9th Brigade to hold the Eighth Road for a day, and the Eighth Road will only be made dumplings.

And it's fish dumplings.

The Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi was faintly uneasy: "Your Excellency, Commander, I always feel that something is wrong?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't tell." Kusuyama Hideyoshi frowned, "But I always feel that something is going to happen."

Shinozuka Yoshio persuaded: "It seems that, Nanshan-kun, you have not recovered from the failure of the last battle."

"There is an old saying in China that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The imperial army has defeated most of China. A small defeat in the Guanjianao battle is nothing."

"The reason for the failure of the center's flowering tactics last time was mainly due to too few troops and the failure of Yamazaki Yohei's command."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio spoke confidently, and continued: "This time, I will use more than half of the brigade's more than 6000 elite imperial troops as bait to catch fish from eight routes, and it is impossible to fail."

"Thank you, Commander, for your enlightenment."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly felt much brighter.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Communications Staff Toshimatsu Kasai walked quickly to Shinozuka Yoshio and reported with a pause, "Just received a telegram from the 9th Brigade, the 9th Brigade..."

"What happened to the 9th Brigade?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked casually.

Yoshio Shinozuka took a sip of his tea lightly, his expression relaxed, and he didn't realize that tragedy had happened at all.

Although Kusuyama Hideyoshi and Iteng Takeo who were standing aside also raised their heads, they didn't pay much attention.

Although more than 9 people in the 3000th Brigade were surrounded by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army, the other 3000 people were still elite Japanese troops.

Moreover, the head of the brigade, Major General Oshio Toranosuke, has always been brave and resourceful in battle.

In the case of a frontal battle with the Eighth Route Army, the 3000 elite Japanese army led by Oshio Toranosuke would never be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army so quickly.

No one thought about it.

Toshimatsu Kasai paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the Guard Squadron and the Communication Squadron of the 9th Brigade, the rest of the soldiers and officers are all dead!"

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head, "Is it all broken?"

The pupils of Kusuyama Hideyoshi and Iteng Takeo who were beside them shrank suddenly, and they cast unbelievably shocked gazes.

Shinozuka Yoshio's first reaction was that he didn't believe it at all, and his tone was firm: "This is impossible!"

Kusuyama Hideyoshi also frowned and said: "A few minutes ago, Major General Koshio Toranosuke just sent a telegram, promising to complete the task of dealing with the Eight Routes. It has only been a few minutes, how could it be broken?"

"Maybe the code was deciphered by the enemy?" Intelligence staff officer Takeo Ando tentatively asked, "The enemy sent a fake telegram?"

"It's impossible for this to happen." Kasai Toshimatsu said, "In this combat operation, the latest radio codes are used between the troops and the headquarters, and it is impossible for Eight Routes to decipher the codes in such a short period of time."

Nanshan Hideyoshi snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true, even the sneak attack plan has been leaked, maybe the leaker handed over the code book to Eight Roads?"

After finishing speaking, Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at Shinozuka Yoshio.

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a headache for a while, and he and Kazuki Yamamoto were the two most suspected at present.

Yamamoto-kun and I, who is the ghost?

Although Yoshio Shinozuka was very reluctant to suspect Kazuki Yamamoto, no matter how he looked at it, Kazuki Yamamoto seemed to be inseparable.

Kasai Minsong continued: "The telegram stated that the imperial army was attacked by bombers of unknown origin at a position two kilometers west of Dawangou. The bombers and fighter jets were models he had never seen before. Both were carpet bombed…”

"Baga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned black instantly, "Where did the plane come from?"

"It's not clear yet." Kasai Toshimatsu said, "But Major General Oshigō Toranosuke is still alive, but he only has a guard squadron and a communication team around him."

"Ando-kun!" Shinozuka Yoshio turned his head and said, "You have one day to find out the instigator of this air strike immediately and find the enemy's plane and airport."

"Hi!" Intelligence staff officer An Teng Takenan nodded, and walked out quickly.

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio grabbed the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.

With a ding, the fine blue and white porcelain teacup shattered, still perplexed, Yoshio Shinozuka grabbed the newly drawn map on the table, tore it to pieces, and angrily pulled out his command saber, killing several combat staff officers. Half of the sand table was chopped into pieces.

Yoshio Shinozuka's chest heaved violently, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was almost noon.

Even if there were more than 6000 pigs, the Eighth Route Army did not finish killing them so quickly. In just one morning, the Eighth Route Army had almost killed more than 6000 imperial troops.

Looking at Yoshio Shinozuka who was almost going crazy, Kusuyama Hideyoshi thought hehe, is the agreed victory or defeat a common thing in military affairs?
……

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army bypassed the sea of ​​fire from the left and right wings, and then joined forces again.

The guard squadrons of Ogyo Toranosuke took turns covering and escaping.

In front of more than 500 cavalry, a squadron of devils was able to break through the line of defense after only resisting for a moment.

The cavalry continued to pursue, leaving the surviving devils to the infantry.

Sun Desheng led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to chase after them for a long time, and saw a dozen devils riding on horseback two 300 meters ahead and galloping wildly.

Several of them were still wearing the military uniforms of Japanese officers.

The devil ran wildly, holding a rifle and pistol, and shot at the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

It's just that these devils are not professional cavalry, and their marksmanship on horseback is very touching, and it is basically difficult to hit people.

Instead, it was the soldiers of the new regiment's cavalry battalion. Every two or three gunshots, a devil fell off his horse screaming.

In particular, Sun Desheng's marksmanship is almost flesh-and-blood, and the cavalry battalion equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles is much stronger than the Japanese [-]-style rifles in terms of firepower.

The riding skills of this group of devils were not as good as professional cavalry, and the distance from being pulled by the cavalry battalion was getting closer and closer, and more and more devils were shot and fell off their horses.

Except for Koshiko Toranosuke, the other six or seven devil officers and soldiers reined in and stopped, turned their horses and drew out their command sabers and rifle bayonets, and attacked the Eighth Route Army to the death, buying a moment for their brigade commanders to escape.

However, Sun Desheng and the soldiers did not play tricks with devils at all.

A row of bullets hit the past, and the six or seven devil officers and soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.

The cavalry rumbled past, and these devils who fell off the horse were instantly trampled into meatloaf by iron hooves.

Sun Desheng raised the semi-automatic rifle and pulled the trigger. With a bang, the last Devil officer 200 meters ahead fell off his horse.

At this time, Sun Desheng raised his right hand and clenched his fist into a gesture to stop advancing, and all the Eighth Route cavalry slowed down and stopped slowly.

Sun Desheng put the semi-automatic rifle on his back, drew out the Yunlong knife with a swipe, and urged the horse under his crotch to gallop over.

With the blade of the Yunlong knife slashing across, the devil officer's head and body were separated at once.

Sun Desheng got off his horse and turned the devil's body over. Seeing the devil's officer's epaulettes, he said excitedly, "Damn it, I killed a devil major general."
