The next day, Yan Xishan led thousands of Jinsui troops back to Pingyao early in the morning, and took away a large amount of weapons and equipment. However, due to insufficient trucks, it is estimated that it will take several times to transport the weapons and equipment outside the city back to Pingyao.

From yesterday's words, Zhang Yunfei knew that Yan Xishan would move from the Damai suburb to Pingyao in the future, and the tens of thousands of Jinsui troops stationed in Shouyang for rest will be temporarily stationed in Shouyang.

With these equipments this time, I believe that Yan Xishan will expand tens of thousands of troops in the next few months, and the rest troops stationed in Shouyang will not be in a hurry to return to southern Shanxi. [

Sending Yan Xishan away, Zhang Yunfei also took the cavalry regiment, divisional guard battalion, special operations team, and artillery regiment 1 to Xinkou after lunch. Those who stayed in Taiyuan were the Fourth Infantry Brigade. More than [-] people will be responsible for the subsequent reconstruction of Taiyuan and the defense around Taiyuan.

Zhang Yunfei and his party arrived at Xinkou at noon on the second day. Zhang Yunfei, who was not in a hurry to march, marched at a relatively slow speed. He usually walked for two hours and then rested for one hour.

When everyone arrived at Xinkou, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xinkou had completed the siege of Xinkou as early as yesterday. The three infantry brigades of the 136th Division, the six infantry regiments of the 129th Division, and the artillery regiment in the distance, A total of more than [-] people surrounded the two divisions of the little devils, and there are currently about [-] remaining people, besieging the Xinkou position of more than ten square kilometers.

On the outskirts of the Xinkou position, the Eighth Route Army built trenches, dug spacious anti-blasting holes, and built a large number of earthworks. Due to the cold weather, a small number of soldiers were guarding in the trenches, and most of them were in the anti-blasting holes or civil engineering works. Rest during work.

Zhang Yunfei, who arrived at the Xinkou position, was accompanied by several brigade commanders, and personally saw the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that the soldiers were all wearing thick cotton coats and cotton caps, which could basically withstand the cold weather, Zhang Yunfei felt deeply in his heart. More at ease.

In the past, I always worried that the weather was cold, and I was afraid that the soldiers would have non-combat attrition. Now it seems that worrying is unnecessary. Even the more than 129 soldiers of the 1th Division have put on brand-new cotton coats and trousers sent by the 136th Division. .

After inspecting the positions, Zhang Yunfei summoned officers above the group to hold a military meeting in the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the Xinkou position. The main purpose of the meeting was to ask the [-]-strong troops here to have plans and preparations to besiege the little devils in the Xinkou position for a long time. .

At present, with the recovery of the entire territory of Shanxi, the more than [-] devils in the Xinkou position have become a lone army. Zhang Yunfei intends to trap them to death. Tens of thousands of little devils are trapped in the Xinkou position without supplies or rescue. It was freezing cold, Zhang Yunfei wanted to see how long the little devil could last.

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's arrangement, the regimental commanders and brigade commanders sitting here said in their hearts that the division commander is still wise. If such a strategy is adopted, the troops will not suffer too many casualties. In the past, they always thought that the division commander might still fight quickly. Make a quick decision, rush to the little devil's position, and wipe out tens of thousands of little devils.

If they really rushed to the battlefield, there would definitely be a lot of casualties, because there are more than [-] little devils, and it would be bad if the little devils knew that they had no way out and jumped over the wall in a hurry.

Long-term siege is not the same. It can slowly consume the spirit of the little devil, and let the little devil run out of bullets and food. A large number of fortifications are not for decoration. The little devil infantry lacking heavy weapons support, it is wishful thinking to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and break out.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished talking about the long-term siege strategy at the meeting, everyone immediately understood it. Then Zhang Yunfei handed over the command of the entire position to the deputy division commander Liu Dazhu. The little devil in the mouth position.

Next, Zhang Yunfei ordered the transport group in charge of logistics to transport more coal and coal stoves to the soldiers on the ground so that they could keep warm and avoid unnecessary frostbite.

The little devil's Xinkou position was gloomy and gloomy.

The eight roads on the opposite side have already completed the encirclement here. What's worse, the little devils on the ground also learned the news of Taiyuan's fall, and the news of Kozuka Yoshio Yusha. Ordinary little devils knew that they had become a lone army.

Due to the lack of support and supplies, many injured little devils could not receive medical treatment. Most of the seriously injured died within two days. Some slightly injured little devils showed signs of gradually deteriorating.

In the headquarters of the little devil, dozens of people sat there without saying a word. These people were all little devil officers above the lieutenant rank and above. Come up with a countermeasure.

In the current form, the division heads of the two little devils have been thinking about it for a day or two, and they have not come up with a feasible solution. They only came up with such a method of brainstorming. Isn't there a saying in China that "three cobblers compete Zhuge Liang", although the two of them knew little about Chinese culture, they still knew this sentence. [

But everyone discussed for a long time, but did not come up with a feasible plan, and fell into a dull moment. Seeing that everyone was silent, a division head of a little devil said to everyone: "Masters, the Chinese army has already completed the task against us." Encircled, our food supplies can only last for a week at most, everyone should think of a way, please."

After finishing speaking, the head of this little devil's division had red eyes, bent down and gave everyone a deep bow. In the army of little devils, it is very rare for a superior to bow to a subordinate. From this, it can be seen that this The anxiety and helplessness in the heart of the head of the little devil division.

Seeing his division commander bowing in person, the lieutenants of some little devils began to have red eyes, a few of them even sobbed softly, and most of the other little devil officers felt deep despair in their hearts.

Seeing such a scene, a little devil commander stood up abruptly, and said sharply: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we will fight against the Eight Route Army on the opposite side. I am willing to lead my regiment to be the vanguard."

After finishing speaking, the little devil commander stood at attention and saluted, bowed deeply, and wanted to ask the division commander's permission. Seeing someone taking the lead, several little devil officers stood up, saluted and bowed down to ask for the battle.

Seeing so many people asking for a fight, the division heads of the two little devils looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads lightly. A division head of the little devils said to everyone: "Everyone, we can't fight until the end. Fighting the Eight Routes of Jade Fragmentation, there are more than [-] elites from our empire here, we cannot let everyone lose their minds."

In the end, so many little devils did not come up with an effective solution. Dozens of officers of the little devils walked out of the headquarters slowly with sad faces.
