Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Look at the marker on the map.

“This old devil Ren Jianyi is not a waste!

If he dares to break out, it means he has a plan!"

Commander Xiao said calmly: "If we let them run into Huaian and use the outer troops to hold on, our offensive will be hindered!

And once the 26th Division from Chahar arrives, the front command's plan will be completely disrupted!"

Commander Xiao waved his hand suddenly:

"I don't care what method you use, chase them immediately!

This group of Japanese troops must be eliminated outside Huaian City!

The artillery immediately adjusted its position to block the Japanese retreat route!

Mobilize the reconnaissance troops and keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the Japanese!

We can’t let them get away!”

Yang Dezhi took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth:

"Commander, please rest assured!

I will personally lead the troops in pursuit! We will definitely stop the devils!"

Su Zhenghua also nodded seriously: "It was our fault for misleading this time. We must make up for this mistake!"

"Then what are you still standing there for?!

Act immediately!" Commander Xiao shouted angrily.

Commander Xiao stood in front of the map, staring at the glaring breakthrough arrow in the direction of the west gate, his eyes full of anxiety.

He murmured, "Ren Jianyi,.....Do you think you're safe after escaping from Zhangjiakou?

impossible! "

Commander Xiao took a deep breath, looked at Chief of Staff Peng Shousheng and spoke slowly:

"Give me the order!

The 17th Regiment in the Huaian direction blocked the Japanese reinforcements in Huaian!

The 18th Regiment, block the evacuation route of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade in Jiutun Village!

Either let the devils die on the way to escape, or force them to Huaian and annihilate them completely! "

As Commander Xiao's order was issued, everyone in the command center took quick action.

The messenger rushed out, and the entire Dashagou Command Center quickly entered a new tense rhythm.

Changzhi Front Command.

"Snapped--"

The heavy white porcelain water cup smashed hard onto the ground, sending shards flying everywhere.

Water stains were all over the ground, reflecting the stunned faces of everyone in the command center.

Commander Xu, standing in front of the map, had a dark face, clenched his fists, and stared at the map in the direction of Zhangjiakou. The veins on his forehead were throbbing with anger.

"absurd!

This is ridiculous! "

His roar resounded throughout the headquarters, and the surrounding staff officers held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Just now, Wang Zhuo handed him a telegram from the Zhangjiakou front, which clearly read: "

The commander of the Japanese Army's 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, Ren Jianyi, led more than 3,000 remnants and broke through the west gate in the afternoon and was retreating towards Huaian!

"

The Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou actually broke through!

"Not only are things going badly in Wutai, but the Japanese are escaping again in Zhangjiakou?!"

Commander Xu slammed the map hard, his chest heaving violently, and his anger almost burned him to death.

"What the hell is going on with the troops down there?!

Three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, fully equipped with heavy firepower, and yet they let 3,000 Japanese soldiers escape?!"

He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shukang, who was standing aside, quickly reached out and picked up the telegram on the table, quickly glanced through it, and his expression became solemn.

“What the hell is going on?!

How did Renjian Yiyi suddenly break out?

Isn't it already forming a siege?!"

"What the hell is this encirclement!" Commander Xu snorted coldly.

"If the encirclement is successful, how could the Japs possibly escape?!

If this isn’t a joke, what is?!”

At this time, Political Commissar Rong also put down the telegram, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"The key issue now is that the Japanese troops that broke through have retreated to Huaian.

If they were to successfully join forces with the remaining enemies outside, the situation would likely become even more complicated."

"We can't let them get away!"

Commander Xu turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Tell Xiao and Cheng Zihua!"

"I don't care how the battle is fought.

If they let the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade escape, they won't have to come back!"

Political Commissar Rong, who was standing by, nodded when he heard what Commander Xu said.

He walked quickly to the telegraph operator and gave the order to Xiao Cheng and the others.

Chen Shukang frowned and said with some doubt:

"Hitomi Yoichi is an old fox. Since he chose to break out, it means he is already prepared.

It’s hard to say whether we can catch up now.”

"We have to chase them even if we can't!" Commander Xu said firmly.

He turned around and looked at everyone with sharp eyes.

"I don't care what method Xiao Cheng and the other two use. Even if we have to sacrifice one or two regiments, we must keep these 3,000 devils east of Huaian!"

Commander Xu took a deep breath and clenched his fists tighter.

The lesson in Wutai was painful enough, and they must not let the Japanese in Zhangjiakou stab them in the back again!
