His eyes fell on Ding Wei, and the brigade commander said again: "Ding Wei, since you have an idea in your heart, you are still in charge of this battle."

"Thank you Brigadier." Ding Wei snapped to attention, then raised his hand in salute, "Brigade Commander, please rest assured that today's battle I, Ding Wei, must play at a high level, and I will definitely win the greatest victory at the lowest cost!"

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." The brigade commander nodded, and turned his gaze to Li Yunlong again.

I saw that Li Yunlong had already turned his gaze to the wilderness on one side, and was sulking with his mouth flattened.

The brigade commander was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong, look at your potential, why are you in a hurry?"

"Brigade Commander, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry." Li Yunlong said with a dark face, "You are the commander of the two columns of Taiyue and Shanxi Northwest, and you have the opportunity to command thousands of troops to fight big battles, but we Lao Li didn’t have such an opportunity, so he managed to catch one, and you gave it to Lao Ding again, Brigadier Commander, alas, I’m so sad.”

"Okay." The brigade commander scolded with a smile, "There are so many devils in Shanxi, are you afraid that there will be no battle?"

Li Yunlong immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said flatteringly: "Brigade Commander, let's make an agreement in advance, and let me come no matter what next time there is a chance."

"Okay." The brigade commander said, "I'll see you next time."

After a pause, the brigade commander turned his head and asked Ding Wei: "Ding Wei, now you can say, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

The expression on Ding Wei's face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Brigade Commander, after two battles in Zhanggezhuang and Chenzhuang, I found that although the quality of the devil's soldiers has declined to a certain extent, the frontal attack is still quite powerful. Not counting the air raid by the Devils’ air force, the Devils’ frontal attack caused the most damage to us.”

"So what?" The brigade commander asked thoughtfully, "Are you planning to avoid the front?"

"Yes, in fact, we don't need to fight hard with the devils at all." Ding Wei nodded, "We can take advantage of the devil's eagerness to reinforce Anhua's weakness, let go of their forward troops, attack their rear troops, and force them At this time, the formation of the devils will be completely messed up, and our thoughts will also fall into confusion, so that we can avoid the sharp edge of the devils and greatly reduce our own casualties."

"Hmm." The Brigadier agreed deeply.

Ding Wei is already a little interesting.

……

Almost at the same time, the 94th Brigade of the Central Army also arrived at Yezhugou.

It has to be said that the officers from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps are still very good at leading troops. Let alone the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, at least the long-distance marching ability is no longer inferior to the Eighth Route Army.

Because the distance from Fu'an County to Yezhugou is about the same as from Anhua to Shazhukou.

"Lvlvzuo." Zhu Jiahua put his hands on his knees, panting, "How do we fight this battle?"

Liang Gang's physical fitness was much better than Zhu Jiahua's. Although he was sweating profusely from running, at least he wasn't panting.

Wiping the sweat off his brow, Liang Gang said: "Our 94th Brigade's equipment is still not comparable to that of the Japanese army. If we fight hard, even if we win, there will be heavy casualties."

"I agree." Guo Guanying said, "If you fight hard, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

Liang Gang said: "So, we must adapt to local conditions, the situation, and the enemy."

"According to local conditions? Adapting to the situation? Adapting to the enemy's conditions?" Guo Guanying said in a daze. But what does it mean to adapt to the enemy's conditions? I really can't think of it."

Zhu Jiahua said thoughtfully: "Travel seat, do you mean taking advantage of the enemy's weakness?"

"Yes, it is to take advantage of the enemy's weakness." Liang Gang smiled slightly, and said again, "For example, the devils who came south from Datong, their weakness is that they are eager to go to Anhua."

Speaking of this, Liang Gang's expression sank, and he said with a heavy face: "The first stage of the Songhu Battle, do you still remember how our Central Army lost?"

"Remember, I will never forget it in this life." Zhu Jiahua said solemnly, "We are too anxious."

"Yes, our troops advanced too fast in the street fighting." Guo Guanying said with a dark face, "so much so that the infantry and armored forces were out of touch, which gave the Japanese army an opportunity!"

Liang Gang said: "So, do you know how to deal with devils?"

"Understood." Guo Guanying nodded and said, "Leave their forward infantry and attack their rear guard."

But Zhu Jiahua said worriedly: "But the brigade, will the devil's forward infantry simply go south and attack Anhua County with light clothes? Wouldn't we have to lose faith in the Eight Route Army?"

"No." Liang Gang said with a sarcasm, "The devil's striker dare not travel south lightly."

After a pause, he continued, "In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is no longer the Eighth Route Army it was two years ago. If the devil's forward infantry dares to go south with light clothes, they will definitely be eaten up by the Eighth Route Army until there is nothing left."

……

At the butcher's mouth.

At two o'clock in the morning, the devil forward who went north for reinforcements finally arrived at the butcher's mouth.

At least a thousand devils lined up in a four-way column, running along the road, and the uniform footsteps of the devils could be heard several miles away.

But the devil is still very cautious.

In addition to having a motorized infantry detachment serving as the vanguard,

On the hillsides and ravines on both sides of the road, there are also devil's rangers.

Fortunately, the main force of the Shanxi Northwest Column was ambushed two kilometers away, and the Devil Rangers could not find it.

On a hillside two kilometers away, Ding Wei was holding up a quadruple military binoculars and looking in the direction of the butcher's mouth. Through the binoculars, he could vaguely see the formation of the Japanese army.

Wang Ye quietly came to Ding Wei's side, and reported: "The devils set up a palanquin formation, with two infantry brigades carrying the middle supply unit and the headquarters one behind the other, and there is no third infantry brigade. "

"Really? This is good news." Ding Wei said after a moment of pondering, "Leave the infantry brigade in front, and the artillery regiment concentrates its firepower on the rear brigade. As soon as the artillery regiment's shelling is over, the entire column will launch a general attack!"

After a pause, he added: "Let the cavalry regiment get ready to attack again. Once the devil's forward team turns around and fights back, it will immediately launch an attack from behind the devil, and defeat the devil's forward team in one go!"

"Yes!" Several correspondents agreed and left separately.

……

Tonight was destined to be a difficult night for the Japanese army in Anhua City.

In order to give the Japanese the illusion that the main force of the Shanxi Northwest Column is still in Anhua, Kong Jie's second detachment will organize a wave of attacks from time to time, constantly exerting pressure on the Japanese outer positions.

The Japanese army only placed one infantry brigade in the outer positions. Facing the onslaught of the second detachment and four regiments, the pressure was very high, especially the East Gate position, which changed hands several times.

There were also many hand-to-hand battles.

Although they held their positions in the end, the old devils and young devils of the No. 60 Ninth Division, including Inoue Zhenwei, became more nervous and uneasy.

Igarashi said: "Division Commander, from the fighting power displayed by the Eighth Route Army in Ping'an County last night, they shouldn't only have this ability, so they must be secretly brewing a bigger offensive."

"I completely agree with Igarashi-kun's judgment." Kato Sadao said, "Because the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army did not participate in the attack from the beginning to the end, so until now, all the offensives of the Eighth Route Army are just to paralyze the imperial army and make the imperial The army made a misjudgment and let down its vigilance, and then launched a fatal blow!"

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable." Inoue Zhenwei said deeply, "So we must take precautions and order the temporary reserve brigades to be ready to reinforce the outer positions at any time."

In addition to an infantry battalion of the 292nd Infantry Regiment and two mountain artillery regiments,

Inoue Zhenwei temporarily organized the remaining more than 4000 devils into four reserve infantry brigades.

Due to insufficient weapons and equipment, Inoue Zhenwei even requisitioned the rifles and light and heavy machine guns of the puppet army.

After a pause, Inoue Zhenwei said again: "By the way, where are the reinforcements from Taiyuan and Datong?"

五十岚美轻噢了一声道:“我们通讯课15分钟前才刚刚跟第3联队以及第11联队联络过,第3联队现在应该已经到杀猪口,第11联队现在则应该已经到达野猪沟。”

"Butcher mouth? Wild boar ditch?" Inoue Zhenwei immediately frowned. These two place names are a bit fierce, aren't they?

While thinking about it, a communication staff officer hurried in and paused to report: "Division commander, just received an urgent telegram from the 3rd Wing, saying that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Killing Pig, and may not be able to reach Anhua on time before dawn. .”

Before the words fell, another communication staff officer walked out quickly, and said with a pause: "The commander, just received an urgent telegram from the 11th Wing. The Wing was ambushed by the Chinese Central Army in Yezhugou. Fang Shuang is fighting fiercely, but he will definitely not be able to reach Anhua County before dawn."

Inoue Sadae's face collapsed.

This is really what you are afraid of.

……

At this time, it was in an unnamed valley two kilometers north of Killing Pig Kou.

"All of them, jog!" Sun Desheng gave an order, and the horse under his crotch began to jog, and the more than [-] riders behind him also accelerated.

There was a sound of hooves, and there was silence in the direction of Taniguchi ahead.

After a while, Sun Desheng raised his right hand again and shouted: "There are all of them, run!"

Accompanied by this loud shout, Sun Desheng clamped the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch jumped into the air instantly to speed up.

The cavalry behind them also accelerated their speed, and the chaotic sounds quickly converged into drum-like hoofbeats, beating the hearts of the cavalry and horses one after another.

The horses and the cavalry on horseback instantly became excited.

"It's all there..." Sun Desheng pulled out his saber and flattened it forward.

In the next instant, Sun Desheng's slightly hoarse voice resounded through the valley: "Charge!"

However, no matter how loud Sun Desheng's roar was, it was completely covered by the tide-like sound of horseshoes, and no soldier could hear his voice at all.

However, it doesn't matter.

Because the soldiers in the front row saw Sun Desun's saber, they rushed immediately.

When the cavalry soldiers in the back row saw the soldiers in the front row start to sprint, they also raised their sharp sabers one after another, and then urged their horses to start sprinting.

In less than a moment, the cavalry regiment completed its acceleration and came out of the nameless valley.

Out of the valley mouth is the straight and wide Tongpu Highway. The direction of the valley and the road form an angle of about [-] degrees. Sun Desheng just reined in the horse a little, and the horse under his crotch has already turned onto the road and rushed south along the road.

Behind Sun Desheng, the entire cavalry regiment of more than 300 cavalry rushed out like a tide.

I saw 50 meters ahead, the black devil infantry was marching southward in a hurry.

The sudden thunderous sound of horseshoes quickly attracted the attention of these devils.

More and more devils turned their heads and looked at the Eighth Route Army cavalry who suddenly appeared with horror on their faces.

"cavalry!"

"China cavalry!"

"The Chinese cavalry is coming!"

"Nomura-kun, organize defense on the spot!"

"Machine gun team, quickly set up the machine gun!"

"Kasahara-kun, immediately seize the commanding heights on the right side of the road!"

"Come back, you idiots, bring the heavy machine gun back, quick!"

In an instant, thousands of devils who were heading south along the road fell into chaos. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for any troops to remain calm.

It is even more impossible to command like a finger.

But the devil's tactical literacy is really good.

Although they became hasty, most of the devils still responded by relying on their usual training. At least half of the devils squatted or lay down on the spot, raised their rifles and fired.

There are even two crooked sub-machine guns set up.

But the Type [-] heavy machine gun is not so fast, it takes more time.

However, it was impossible for the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army to give the devils more time.

"Ha!" Sun Desheng roared, and he stood upright from his horseback.

The distance of 50 meters is only a few seconds for the cavalry who has completed the acceleration.

In a few seconds, the quick-response devils still had a chance to fire a shot, and the slow-response devils had just raised their rifles before the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had already killed them.

Amidst the sparse gunfire, several Eighth Route Army cavalrymen turned over and fell off their horses.

But more cavalry had crashed into the devil's infantry formation like a tide.

"Kill!" As the cold light flickered, the sharp saber was wiped away like lightning.

But as soon as the cavalry passed by, the ghost infantry who were squatting on the ground ready to shoot fell to the ground one by one, and all of these devils had their necks cut open with sabers.

The neck is arguably the most vulnerable part of the human body.

It is also a favorite part of the body for cavalry to attack.

Because of attacking the neck, the beheading action can be completed with the least amount of physical strength.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army surged past, and the devil infantry fell to the ground one by one. In a blink of an eye, the wave of cavalry had pierced through the marching ranks of the devil infantry, and a full infantry brigade was in disarray.

Chapter 505 The 4th Brigade Is Over Again

Liao County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

When the deputy chief of staff walked into the war room, he saw the boss leaning over the map with a lantern in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, but several staff officers were missing.

At that moment, the deputy chief of staff stepped forward and asked, "Boss, where are Xiao Ma and the others?"

"Oh, I told them to rest." The boss said without raising his head, "Little Ma and the others haven't closed their eyes for several days. Let me be on duty tonight."

The deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, I'm still here, you go back to sleep."

"I can't sleep even when I go back." The boss put down the magnifying glass, hung the lantern back on the hook, and said in a low voice, "The Battle of Northwest Shanxi has reached a critical moment. How can I sleep here?"
