Bright Sword Military System

The facts made Yamada Oji have to believe it.

Before he could make up his mind, the results of the reconnaissance by Okabe Naozaburo came over.

Naozaburo Okabe sent out night fighters to perform reconnaissance missions.

In normal times, night fighters might not be of much use, but tonight the moon is bright and the stars are thin and the visibility is very high. In addition, the Eighth Route Army encircled the Devils with a regiment of more than 2000 people, which made the Devils pilots discover.

"The Eighth Route Army is located near Yuyuan Village, 130 kilometers away from Niangziguan!"

The Eighth Route Army first took the train to the devil's aviation blockade area and then changed to walking. The devil should be thankful that the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army were fighting in the direction of Jiulian Town, otherwise the encirclement would have been closed by now.

Oji Yamada was startled when he heard this information: The Eighth Route Army is more than 100 kilometers away from Niangziguan, and Taiyuan is also more than 100 kilometers away from Niangziguan. If the imperial army continues to fight the Eighth Route Army here and attack Taiyuan...won't the retreat route be cut off?

Thinking of this, Oji Yamada reluctantly squeezed out two words: "Retreat!"

The gunshots outside Taiyuan City were still ringing intermittently. On the surface, everything seemed to be normal, but in fact, the devils had already begun to retreat in batches.

After all, the devils were well-trained, and they knew that the Eighth Route Army should not be aware of their retreat, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would take advantage of the situation to chase and kill the imperial army from behind and suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Oji Yamada ordered a squadron to continue to put on a siege posture in the direction of Taiyuan City, and the main force has hastily withdrawn to Niangziguan.

Wang Xuexin learned from Head Liu that the devils might have withdrawn.

Commander Liu was the one responsible for passing through Niangziguan from Datong. He reported, "Commander Wang, we may have been exposed. We heard the sound of a plane in the sky just now. The troops were advancing at full speed, so we couldn't respond in time!"

Wang Xuexin said "hmm" and didn't speak.

This is not to blame for Commander Liu. A regiment of more than 2000 people is on the march. It is indeed not easy to respond in a timely manner.

Chen Songyong asked suspiciously: "Leader, shall we not chase?"

"Chasing? How to chase!" Wang Xuexin asked back: "How many troops do we have? There are more than 6000 people in three regiments, and the Devils have a division and a chariot brigade, at least [-] people. The strength is ours. There are more than twice as many tanks, what if the devil kills a carbine?"

Chen Songyong fell silent in an instant.

Wang Xuexin was right, and the three regiments in Taiyuan could not all be sent out, otherwise Taiyuan would become an empty city and would be occupied by devils at any time.

So the best choice is to wait and see what happens, even if you want to chase, you have to wait for the devil to walk a certain distance or wait for dawn.

Wang Xuexin tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

The question now is how to eat up the more than 1 elite Kwantung Army of the Devils... This is not an easy task, even if the Eighth Route Army has developed to the present.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin ordered: "Order the troops lurking in Niangziguan to act immediately!"

"Team leader..." Chen Songyong was stunned for a while: "But there are still more than ten hours before the planned time, and the devils will not arrive so soon..."

"The devils already know our plan!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Chen Songyong: "They will send supplies and even reinforcements through Niangziguan!"

Only then did Chen Songyong understand what was going on, and hurriedly answered "Yes" and went to convey the order.

Niangziguan.

Chen Yongping was hiding in the secret artillery fort with the soldiers. He didn't even turn on the lights because he was afraid of being discovered by the enemy. It was pitch black inside, and the turbid air was filled with the smell of sweat and feet of the soldiers...

The artillerymen look majestic, with new howitzers and artillery detection radars. The infantry is so envious that the artillerymen don't have to go to the front line, they just fire from behind!
When Chen Yongping heard this, he wanted to slap him hard.

The artillery shells flying around will be blown to pieces if they are not careful, isn't it called the front line?

Without artillery, how could your infantry win so many battles? Crossing the river will tear down the bridge!
Apart from other things, it is not easy to guard this highland: there is a shortage of water on the top of the mountain, and the water brought by the helicopter is not enough to drink. Every time, people have to send people down the mountain to carry water, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth.

Because of this, the soldiers have not washed their faces, let alone their feet, for more than a month.

Chen Yongping groped in the dark to take out the cigarette case from his pocket, and found that there was only the last one left in it, and he held it in his mouth with great reluctance, and when he was about to light it, he heard the communication soldier say: "Regimental Commander, the superior ordered us to act immediately! "

Chen Yongping jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Finally we can do it, hiding inside all day will make people sick!"

Then he threw away the unlit cigarette in his hand and ordered: "Action!"

"Yes, act!"

The communication soldier was the first to go out, and he used a flashlight to send a signal to the opposite high ground.

The high ground on the opposite side was the original artillery position. When the artillery regiment withdrew, a few people were left lurking.

And then there's the long wait...

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and Chen Yongping became a little impatient: "What's wrong? It takes so long to walk a few steps!"

What Chen Yongping was talking about was to detonate the explosives that had been buried above the gun fort in advance.

The fuze was buried in the soil and led to the vicinity of the latent point. The whole journey was only more than 200 meters, so it shouldn't have waited so long.

The political commissar whispered, "Is there something wrong?"

The political commissar guessed right, there really was a problem with the detonation team.

The reason is that Naozaburo Okabe once again became suspicious of his wife...

He said to Dachenghu Sanzhi: "If all this is the Eighth Route Army's plan, then is there something wrong with Niangziguan?"

"Is there a problem?" Sanji Okito said suspiciously: "Your Excellency, it has always been under our control!"

After a pause, Oshiroto Sanji added: "I think the only problem is that the Eighth Route Army may have given up Niangziguan to us on purpose. If not, the Yamada Division would not be able to attack Taiyuan!"

What Sanji Okito said seemed to make sense.

Because if you want the imperial army to fall into the trap, you must get out of Niangziguan.

But Naozaburo Okabe still felt something was wrong...

"If they gave up on purpose!" After thinking for a while, Naozaburo Okabe said, "Then the Eighth Route Army will have plenty of time to prepare, but they still let our army seize a dozen howitzers and a gun detection radar!"

Only then did Sanji Okido realize that the two were contradictory.

The artillery on both sides of Niangziguan, especially the artillery detection radar, is a very valuable strategic resource, and they almost determine the ownership of Niangziguan.

Why did the Eighth Route Army leave such an important thing to the imperial army when it had time?
Naozaburo Okabe did not hesitate, and ordered: "Order the troops to search near the artillery fort!"
