Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Since the Eighth Route Army mainly attacked in the north-south direction, the blockade of the west gate was relatively loose.

The commander of the Hitomi Brigade concentrated all his remaining firepower and broke through the Eighth Route Army troops stationed there in one fell swoop, leading more than 3,000 people to retreat towards Huaian.

"but........"

Yukio Kasahara hesitated for a moment and continued,

"The breakout troops were still pursued by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses along the way. The exact number of casualties is still unclear."

Tada Shun slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes.

"Kasahara-kun!

Description in the battle report!

It is so similar to the previous battles between the locust army and Zeng Jiwen’s troops!

In just a few years!

Has the situation in North China deteriorated to such an extent?"

"Now, even the Eighth Route Army in other areas!

Is the locust army starting to feel helpless?"

After saying this, Tada Shun fell silent.

When Yukio Kasahara heard what Tada Shun said, he lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.

To be honest, when I first received the news that Zhangjiakou was attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

Yukio Kasahara was just surprised, not too surprised.

Since the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack, it was expected that Zhangjiakou would be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

But after a telegram arrived at noon, which detailed the battle situation from last night to today.

Yukio Kasahara's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He did not expect that similar battle reports from the 389th Division would appear in other Eighth Route Army units.

You know, in the previous battles with the Eighth Route Army in North China, except for the 389th Division, other troops did not have this capability and equipment.

Able to engage in direct combat with the locust army.

Not to mention this kind of urban siege.

Thinking of this, Yukio Kasahara really didn't know what the situation would be like next.

Before Kasahara Yukio could think about it, he suddenly heard Tada Shun's voice:

"Immediately order the dispatch of Air Force reconnaissance aircraft to search for enemy movements in the direction of the Brigade Commander's breakout.

At the same time, he ordered the troops stationed in Huaian, Tianzhen and Yanggao to move out quickly.

Let the 110th Division depart from Peiping immediately to reinforce Zhangjiakou!

Cooperate with the brigade commander and stop the Eighth Route Army from pursuing us!"

“Also, have Kuroiwa-kun and Fujita-kun act quickly.

We must capture Jingxing as soon as possible!"

When Kasahara Yukio heard what Tada Shun said, he immediately straightened up and responded, "Yi!"

Following the issuance of Tada Shun's order, the Japanese troops in North China quickly took action.

Changzhi.

"Now, the battle on the northern front has fully begun!"

At this time, Wang Zhuo, chief of staff of the front-line headquarters, held the baton and introduced the current situation to everyone.

“Now, the two regiments of the 1st Column of Beiyue District and the two main regiments of the 1st Division are surrounding Wutai!

Other troops were fighting fiercely with the reinforcements of the 41st Division in Guyugou.

Zhangjiakou had been captured as planned, except that the remaining defenders of Zhangjiakou were released from the city.

Now Yang Dezhi has led the Second Column to injure the retreating remnants of the Japanese army.

The 17th Regiment blocked the reinforcements of Huaian's infantry battalion.

The 18th Regiment also blocked the retreating mixed brigade and engaged in fierce fighting with the Japanese.
