I am a wolf warrior

Even if the Japanese cavalry on the two wings found a gentle place to go up to the earth platform, and then outflanked them from the two wings, their 1st Battalion would not be afraid. As long as the Japanese army did not have artillery support firepower, the battle would be fought.

After all, the light weapon firepower of the Jinsui Army is not weaker than that of the Japanese army.

As a result, the situation on Killing Zhukou's side fell into a stalemate for the time being.

……

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Aviation scouts have sent the latest news back to Taiyuan.

"Haven't the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army of China not appeared yet?" Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned, which was beyond his expectation.

At this time, Takashi Sakamoto said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have something to say and I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Oh, so it's Sakamoto-kun." Yoshio Iwamatsu had heard of Ryuichi Sakamoto's name a long time ago, and knew that this was a poisonous tongue. It was said that his predecessor, Yoshio Shinozuka, was almost not mad at him.

Immediately, Yoshio Iwamatsu said again: "What do you want to say?"

Takashi Sakamoto: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese Central Army will not come."

"Not coming?" Hanagu was frowning and asked, "Sakamoto-kun, are you so sure?"

"Yes, I'm so sure." Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "Because any idiot can see that the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army can't stop the 4th Cavalry Brigade going south."

"Forcibly intercepting, you can only die in vain."

"The commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the Central China Army are not idiots."

"So, it is absolutely impossible for them to run over to die by themselves."

"Then, why did the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army come to Shazhukou?" Hua Guzheng said, "How do you explain this?"

"That's the problem." Takashi Sakamoto said, "I suspect this is a trap. The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is just a bait, and its purpose is probably to lure the 4th Cavalry Brigade to take the bait."

"Although, I can't guess what Chu Yunfei's backhand is."

"However, I suggest that His Excellency the Commander give a suggestion to the 4th Cavalry Brigade."

"Once the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army withdraws from Shazhukou, they had better not pursue it."

"After all, the primary task of the 4th Cavalry Brigade is to go south to participate in the Battle of Southern Henan, not to assist our 1st Army in destroying the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army of China."

"Trap?" Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanagu looked at each other.

The two of them really didn't consider this point.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Chapter 293

The forward observation post of the 358 regiment.

Chu Yunfei's face gradually became serious.

Because the evolution of the battle situation is completely different from what he expected, and it is also quite different from what Wang Ye imagined.

"Tuan Zuo, the situation is not good." Chief of Staff Fang Ligong said, "Our original assumption was that the 4th Japanese Cavalry Brigade would directly launch a strong attack on the frontal ridge where the 1st Battalion was stationed."

"In this way, there is a chance to kill a large number of enemies with favorable terrain."

"Then there is a chance to provoke the Japanese 4th Cavalry Brigade."

"Then lead the enemy to Feiyundu's preset battlefield."

"But now, the 4th Japanese Cavalry Brigade has not attacked at all."

"On the contrary, Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion is now facing a huge threat."

"Once the Japanese cavalry on the two wings of the detour completes the outflank, the 1st Battalion will fall into the dilemma of being attacked on three sides. What shall we do then? Save or not?"

"If you don't save them, the 1st Battalion will be in danger."

"But if the main force of the regiment is dispatched to rescue, it will form a decisive battle."

"This will not only destroy the entire combat plan formulated before the war, but also put our 358 regiment in great danger of being encircled and wiped out by the Japanese army!"

"After all, Taiyuan and Anhua are not far away."

"The Japanese troops in both directions can arrive within three hours."

Chu Yunfei didn't speak, but subconsciously tapped his fingers behind his back.

At this time, Lin Zhiqiang, the combat staff officer, suddenly said: "Sir, why don't you let the 1st Battalion withdraw early."

Fang Ligong nodded and said: "It is also a way to let the 1st Battalion withdraw early before the Japanese cavalry has time to form a four-sided encirclement. The problem is that in this way, the 4th Japanese Cavalry Brigade will have almost no losses. If there is no possibility of being provoked, then the entire battle plan will be completely ruined."

After a pause, Fang Ligong went on to say: "The order of the attendants and the chief's subordinates to prevent the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army from going south at all costs will not be fulfilled."

"No." Chu Yunfei said suddenly.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and cannot be generalized."

"Severely injuring the enemy and angering the enemy can certainly complete the task of luring the enemy,"

"However, it is possible to lure the enemy by showing weakness and making the enemy arrogant."

Speaking of this meal, Chu Yunfei said again: "Give me an order, the 1st Battalion will be withdrawn immediately, the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the 4th Battalion, there is no need to alternately cover according to the original plan."

"Let them gather for me immediately."

"Retreat along Feiyungou to Feiyundu."

"Drop some supplies at the right time during the retreat."

"Even heavy machine gun mounts can be thrown away."

……

Outside the butcher's mouth.

Kichizo Kojima had already climbed onto a towering earthen platform with the mausoleum orange tree and Hashimoto Toyoshi.

The height of this earthen platform is basically the same as the height of the ridge guarded by the Jinsui Army in front, so every move of the Jinsui Army in front can be observed from the earthen platform.

At this meeting, Yoshizo Kojima is talking eloquently.

"Sun Tzu has a saying, if it is ten, surround it, if it is five, attack it, and if it is doubled, divide it."

"The strength of the Jinsui Army in front is only more than 1000 people, which is almost half of our 4th Cavalry Brigade, which coincides with the battlefield elements of times and parts."

"In view of this, we need to divide our troops to attack it."

"That's why I ordered Sato Squadron and Takebe Squadron to outflank the two wings."

The orange tree in the mausoleum was dumbfounded. Is this the interpretation of Sun Tzu's Art of War?Shouldn't it be trying to disperse the enemy's forces and defeat them one by one?

How come you have divided your troops to outflank it?

Hashimoto Toyoshi flattered him wildly: "The commander of the brigade is really well-read and memorized. He has the essence of Sun Tzu's art of war. He can be called the master of art of war in the empire."

"Hey, I dare not be a master of the art of war."

Kojima Kizang said: "Barely, he can be regarded as a strategist."

The orange tree in the mausoleum suddenly looked constipated when he heard this. These two guys are really shameless.

While speaking, the Jinsui army on the ridge in front suddenly turned around and retreated. The orange tree in the mausoleum was the first to spot it, and immediately pointed forward and shouted: "Oh, brigade commander, the Jinsui army has withdrawn!"

"Nani?" Toyoshi Hashimoto asked in surprise, "Did the Jinsui army actually withdraw?"

"This has long been in my expectation." Kojima Kizang said, "There is a saying in the art of war, the enemy can fight, if the enemy is small, he can escape, and if he is weak, he can avoid it. The Jinsui army is not as powerful as the imperial army. , retreat is the inevitable result.”

The orange tree in the mausoleum thought to himself, at least he didn't misinterpret Sun Tzu's art of war this time, but it was all nonsense.

Hashimoto Toyoshi asked again: "Brigade Commander, the Jinsui Army has withdrawn, shall we pursue it or not?"

Just as Kojima Jizang wanted to say that there was no need to chase him any more, and that it was more important to go south to Henan, but before he could say it, a communications staff officer had already climbed up the earthen platform panting.

"Brigade commander." The communications staff paused.

"The 1st Army Command just sent an urgent call."

Kichizo Kojima leaned on his saber, waved his hand and said, "Read."

"Hayi." The communications staff immediately read the telegram, "The 4th Cavalry Brigade:"

"The Chinese army in the northwest of Shanxi is cunning and fierce. If the 358th regiment of the Jinsui army retreats, remember not to pursue it, and let it escape on its own. The first priority should be to go south to support the battlefield in southern Henan."

The orange tree in the mausoleum took it very seriously, and felt that it could not be entangled with the Jinsui army in this ghost place.

Because the orange tree in the mausoleum discovered that the terrain here is too weird and unfriendly to cavalry.

Hashimoto Tongyi listened to the telegram, but he flattered him habitually: "Did the people from the 1st Army frighten the Chinese Army in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Just over a thousand Jinsui troops make them nervous."

"Also let my 4th Cavalry Brigade remember not to pursue it."

"Our warriors of the 4th Cavalry Brigade are not like these fools."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Kojima Kizang and said: "Our brigade commander is even a master of military art in the empire. How can those stupid staff officers in the 1st Army's staff department be comparable?"

Hearing these words, Kojima Yoshizang felt extremely comfortable.

At the same time, it also aroused the ambition in Kojima Yoshizo's heart.

Since the people of the 1st Army despise them so much, they might as well fight a victory in Northwest Shanxi first, so that the idiots of the 1st Army can take a good look at how the war should be fought.

Anyway, it won't take long to finish this battle.

Kojima Yoshizo estimated that the fighting should be over before dark.

At that moment, Kichizo Kojima ordered the communication staff: "Mr. Kobayashi, pass my order. The 25th and 26th cavalry regiments will immediately pursue the retreating Jinsui army. The Sato Squadron and Takebe Squadron, which are devious on both wings, do not need to rush to fight with the generals. The troops will rendezvous and continue to outflank the Jinsui army from the ridge."

"Hay!"

……

Shazhukou is a typical terrain of the Loess Plateau.

Thousands of years of rainwater have washed away one after another gullies on the originally flat loess plateau. These gullies are like the teeth of a comb, extending from each loess plateau in the same direction, with different lengths. First, the depth is also different, and some stretch for several kilometers, with a depth of more than 100 meters.

And some are only a few hundred meters long and only a dozen meters deep.

But these ravines have greatly hindered the actions of the cavalry.

The cavalry was forced to chase forward along the bottom of the curved gully, and could not outflank the shortcut.

At this moment, Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion had already merged with the main force of the 358th Regiment, and was rapidly retreating towards Feiyundu along the Feiyungou that stretched for more than ten kilometers.

Qian Bojun walked quickly to Chu Yunfei, panting and said, "Tuan Zuo, why did you retreat? I was thinking about fighting the little devil at Shazhukou."

"It's good that you have the ambition."

Chu Yunfei said: "Don't worry, I will give you a chance."

Qian Bojun was taken aback when he heard the words, thinking that I just said that, do you take it seriously?Who the hell is willing to fight bloody little devils?But such words cannot be said.

"Tuan Zuo! The vanguard of the devil cavalry is catching up!"

While speaking, Sun Ming led the Tiger Squadron to catch up.

Fang Ligong was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Tuan Zuo, the devil cavalry actually took the bait."

Chu Yunfei was also overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he had a calm expression on his face: "Hmph, this is also the expected result."

After finishing speaking, he shouted again: "Communication soldier."

A communications soldier ran forward in response.

Chu Yunfei said again: "Send an order to the 2nd Battalion to leave a company in every ditch along the way, and fight against it!"

"Yes!" The communication soldier was equipped with a horse, and immediately got on the horse with a promise, and galloped away.

"Let's go!" Chu Yunfei lashed the horse's buttocks with a whip, and shouted again, "Throw away some more luggage, and throw away all the unnecessary things."

……

In a huge gully more than 50 meters wide,

The brigade of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army is chasing and killing.

Because there was just a snowfall a few days ago, the gully is covered with white snow, but it is not deep, just like a horseshoe, but there is no flying loess.

It is still very pleasant to ride a horse in such terrain, but the weather is colder.
