The teacher immediately conveyed the boss's order to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong put down the high-powered walkie-talkie and said to Huang Erhu: "Huzi, immediately notify the attack groups. Except for the mountain artillery group and the troops left behind to clean up the battlefield, all personnel must assemble immediately. Let's go to Xiangyuan, Changzhi and Licheng."

Li Yunlong will definitely not take the mountain cannon and howitzer.

The reason is very simple, it is broad daylight, the target of the artillery unit is relatively large, and it is easy to be attacked by devil planes.

Even if it is equipped with a 20mm automatic anti-aircraft gun, there is no guarantee that the artillery and cannon will not be blown up by the Devil's plane.

At this moment, the devils have already severely damaged two divisions, and they were so anxious that they could even hit a cannon with a plane.

Moreover, this time it was a rapid march again, and the artillery units must not be able to keep up with the speed of the infantry.

There are still 96 cannons in Changzhi, Xiangyuan and Licheng, and more than 200 mortars brought over, which are completely enough.

"Yes!" After Huang Erhu responded, he immediately picked up the high-powered walkie-talkie and called.

Although the soldiers were exhausted after three days of continuous fighting, their morale was high at this time.

The 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade of the Japanese Army were also not feeling well at this time. Under tremendous pressure, they had been blocked and harassed for two consecutive days, and they were also very tired at this time.

At this point in the battle, both sides are struggling, and it depends on who can last till the end.

Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the main force of the Taihang column rushed to Changzhi, Xiangyuan and Licheng without stopping.

The Taihang column left for about an hour, and the devils' second plane came again, but they only saw shell craters and stumps and broken arms all over the canyon.

The Xinyi Regiment Cavalry Battalion and the Brigade Cavalry Regiment chased after the remnants of the 2nd Guards Division all the way.

Since the mountain cannons of the Artillery Regiment of the 2nd Guards Division were all carried by mules and horses, the marching speed was very slow.

Not long after, he was overtaken by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. Kunomura Momoyo was decisive enough to kill, chose a strong man to cut off his wrist, and ordered to blow up all the mountain artillery and shells.

Then a squadron was left to block the Eighth Route Artillery Cavalry, and the remaining devils ran wildly. Kunomura Momoyo even accelerated to escape from the Eighth Route Army base under the protection of a group of cavalry.

Sun Desheng and Zhou Chunyu stopped chasing and killing after receiving Li Yunlong's order, and soon followed the large army.

Although under the guidance of Wang Fugui and other squires, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was able to quickly catch up with the remnants of the devils, but Wang Fugui and others were arrested.

These squires deliberately didn't evacuate, and they happened to be on the way of the devil's escape, and they knew the escape route of the devil very well. Any fool would know what was going on.

……

"Report to the commander, chief of staff, and the farewell telegram from the commander of the 36th regiment, Daisa Wakisaka."

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi were having lunch in the meeting room, and the communications staff came in holding the telegram and said with a heavy pause.

The mouths of the two of them became stiff in an instant, and the hands that were stretched out to pick the vegetables were also suspended in the air.

After a while, Shinozuka Yoshio's expression returned to normal, he put a chicken leg in the bowl, and asked in a deep voice, "Farewell telegram?"

"Yes, farewell telegram!"

The communication staff officer's face was ugly, and he tried to keep his words fluent: "The Eighth Route Army used hundreds of cannons over 75 mm and hundreds of mortars to storm the defensive position hastily formed by the 36th Regiment. Thousands of shells were poured into the position of the 36th Regiment. As soon as the sound of the artillery stopped, tens of thousands of troops rushed into the position of the 36th Regiment. After an hour of fighting, our troops had no hope of breaking through. The last one..."

...

"idiot!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's cheeks twitched, and his hands violently overturned the entire dining table.

Everything including Hideyoshi Kusuyama's rice bowl, tableware, eggs, and chicken legs on the dining table were overturned.

The guard outside heard the movement and ran in with a gun. Kusuyama Hideyoshi waved his hand, and the guard hurried out.

"Mr. Zhuchuan, have the aviation troops found the troops of the 2rd and 3th Wings of the 4nd Guards Division that broke through?"

Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at the communications staff officer and asked in a deep voice.

Communication staff assistant Chuanzhong Zuo replied: "The 8th Flying Squadron sent back a message that within a radius of 6 kilometers of the engagement, no troops from the 3rd and 4th Wings were found to break through."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi was silent when he heard the words, and the 3rd and 4th Wings did not send back a farewell telegram.

So he still had a glimmer of illusion, thinking that the 3rd and 4th Wings had already broken through.

But now it seems that the 3rd and 4th Wings have been completely wiped out by the eight routes, and they have not even been able to send a farewell telegram.

When Shinozuka Yoshio heard the news, his head was buzzing and he almost couldn't stand still.

This time, the Sanguang sweeping operation that was bound to win, unexpectedly resulted in the 37th Division being severely damaged, the 2nd Guards Division being severely damaged, and the elite 36th Regiment was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

More than 2 soldiers of the imperial army died in battle.

With this defeat, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame. Thousands of years later, he will still be reviled and ridiculed by future generations of Japan.

The communication staff officer said again: "There is another situation. According to the aviation report, the Eighth Route Army with more than 2 people is marching in the direction of Xiangyuan and Licheng."

Yoshio Shinozuka was startled when he heard this, and walked quickly to the map.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi and the communications staff also walked to the map.

The sand table was chopped up by Yoshio Shinozuka, and several combat staff officers are still busy building it.

"it's here!"

The communications staff pointed out the current location of the Eighth Route Army on the map.

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio scolded angrily, and asked, "Mr. Nanshan, how long will it take for the 14th Brigade to arrive in Xiangyuan County?"

Nanshan Hideyoshi said: "It is expected to arrive in three hours. Your Excellency, Commander, after the Eighth Route Army severely damaged the 3nd Guards Division, they marched towards Xiangyuan and Licheng. Once the Li Yunlong Corps in Xiangyuan, Licheng and Changzhi encircled them , the 2th Brigade and the 14th Brigade will also be surrounded, and these two elite brigades may follow in the footsteps of the 18th Division and the 37nd Guards Division!"

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka hadn't realized that it was Li Yunlong's corps that severely damaged the 2nd Guards Division.

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio cursed again, and turned his gaze to the directions of Xiangyuan, Licheng and Changzhi on the map, "Can the 37th Division last for three hours?"

Nanshan Hideyoshi's face was ugly: "The imperial army in Changzhi County will definitely not last until dark, but the Eight Routes in Xiangyuan County and Licheng adopt the tactics of encircling and not fighting, and the imperial army in these two counties will definitely last until the reinforcements arrive. "

There were more than 1000 Japanese troops in Xiangyuan and Licheng each.

Although most of them were logistical personnel from the Supply Wing and the Engineer Wing, Yoshio Shinozuka still wanted to save them.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Of course, even thinking about it is useless. The 2nd Guards Division and the 37th Division have been severely damaged, and the 36th Wing has been wiped out.

...

Even if two more divisions were transferred from southern Shanxi, it would be too late, and the Japanese army had lost the chance to come back.

Based on the principle of saving as much as possible, Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Order, the 18th Brigade will immediately turn to Licheng, and the 14th Brigade will continue to reinforce Xiangyuan. Taiyuan!"

"Hi!"

The communications staff officer paused, then walked out.

……

The Japanese 14th Brigade and 18th Brigade arrived at Xiangyuan and Licheng earlier than the Taihang Column.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were in charge of fighting and blocking the attack, contained the two brigades for a day and a night, and they did their best.

The four regiments and artillery units besieging the city took the initiative to retreat under Li Yunlong's order.

The casualties of these 4 regiments were not small in several battles, and they had no spare energy to fight against the devils.

These regiments and artillery units built positions in advance on the road leading to Changzhi from the two counties, preparing to block the devils of the two brigades from going south to reinforce Changzhi.

However, after the devils took over the ghosts in Xiangyuan and Licheng counties, they didn't even want the county towns, and ran directly to Taiyuan.

This caught Li Yunlong a little by surprise.

Yoshio Shinozuka feels that he now only has 5 alliances with more than 1 people.

The Eighth Route has more than 3 Li Yunlong Corps, and there are more than 2 reinforcements from the Eighth Route Base.

The total strength of the Eighth Route Army is almost 6. These five regiments are by no means the opponents of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese army's Sanguang sweeping operation ended hastily with the Japanese army being severely damaged by 2 divisions and 1 regiment wiped out.

When Li Yunlong led his troops to Changzhi, the county brigade of the Xinyi Regiment and the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army had wiped out all the devils in the county.

One after another, the corpses of the devils were brought out and placed on the street, and the ministries were counting the number of enemies wiped out.

"Report to the commander in chief that all the devils in the city have been wiped out."

"At the last moment, the devils detonated the ammunition depot in the city, and the grain depot was also ordered by the devils."

Chen Dagu reported to Li Yunlong.

"The last moment?" Li Yunlong asked, "Didn't the devils blow up the arsenal at noon yesterday?"

Chen Dagu said: "The oil depot and some shells were blown up yesterday."

"Damn it!" Li Yunlong said cursingly, "This old devil, Pingtian, is not kind. He used an oil depot to pretend to be an arsenal."

Chen Dagu blamed himself and said: "Commander, you should punish me, I failed to occupy the arsenal before the devils bombed the arsenal."

"Punish you for what?" Li Yunlong said, "Even I was cheated by Hirata, forget it, let's blow it up, we've already made a lot of money this time."

"By the way, where's that old devil Hirata?"

Li Yunlong asked quickly.

Chen Dagu said: "I caught a devil's tongue this morning. According to the devil's account, Pingtian was killed by our artillery yesterday."

Li Yunlong hurriedly asked: "What about his lieutenant general commanding the saber?"

"Not found." Chen Dagu said, "It should have been blown up by shells."

Li Yunlong showed regret, the general officer's sword he promised to give to the chief of staff was gone, and he didn't know when the next time the devil's general officer's sword would be captured.

At present, there are two lieutenant general division heads who have been killed, but none of the lieutenant general's command sword has been seized.

However, Li Yunlong was also relieved to be sure that the old devil Hirata had been killed.

Li Yunlong said: "Give me an order, not to let go of the ghost banks and hospitals in the county, and arrest all the traitors, and confiscate all property!"

Although the devils destroyed the arms and food, there were many traitors in the county, and these traitors usually helped the devils collect money and food.

It's time to liquidate.

Chen Dagu's expression became serious, and he stood up and responded: "Yes!"
