The father of the sword is Kong Jie

The confrontation time between the two sides was not too long, and the soldiers of the armored company who suddenly came out also calculated the time early in the morning.

It just happened to be stuck, and before the devil's reinforcements came back to support the rear artillery, destroy the devil's artillery squadron, and then evacuate in time.

The battle can end so quickly, even a one-sided crushing battle, naturally thanks to the four armored vehicles advancing unstoppably.

The devil's artillery unit is in close combat and does not have any advantage.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army rushed forward with indestructible armored vehicles without any hesitation or holding back.

The confrontation between the two sides was only for a moment, and it was coming to an end.

"Report to Your Excellency, Captain, the artillery squadron that our army followed up was attacked by the armored troops ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

Even if the devil's communicator delivered the message.

At this time, the artillery unit followed by the devils was not far from the main force of the 11th Regiment.

It's only about a kilometer or two.

Even the movement of the battle was enough to wake up the devil's scouts who were not too far away, and then sent the news back to the headquarters of the 11th Regiment in time.

"Nani?"

When the old devil Chuan Gu heard the news, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly ordered the two cavalry troops to rush to the rear for reinforcements.

This artillery squadron is his trump card, the only one that can be used to suppress the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and the key to trying to turn the tide of the battle.

Naturally, there can be no problems.

The two groups of cavalry stationed in the Mongolian army, about two to three hundred people, immediately went to the area where the artillery squadron following the main force was located to reinforce them.

In fact, after realizing that the Eighth Route Army troops of the Iron Triangle are well-equipped, have abundant artillery fire, and also have very cunning tactics.

Chuan Gu, an old devil, has been on guard against the surprise attacks of the Eighth Route Army troops.

Sneak attacking with a small group of troops, especially the artillery units of the Great Japanese Empire, is the most common method used by Tubalu in various regions, including the Northwest Military Region.

For this reason, those damn Eighth Route Army are not even afraid of death at all.

Even if it takes their lives, they will desperately replace the artillery of the imperial army.

Chuan Gu had seen such a scene many times, and was quite shocked by it.

Therefore, Chuan Gu specially ordered the artillery squadron to follow up in time, not to leave the main combat force, and stay too far away to prevent surprise attacks by small groups of Eighth Route Army troops.

This was indeed the case at first, and the Eighth Route Army could hardly find any chance to attack the devil's artillery squadron.

But as the fighting between the two sides intensified.

Blocking along the way ahead, the harassing Eighth Route Army troops were almost elusive, raiding from the east for a while, and attacking from the west for a while, leading the garrison in Mongolia back and forth by the nose.

And the infantry artillery carried by the devil's artillery squadron, as well as the Type [-] regiment artillery.

Compared with heavy artillery, it is naturally convenient to transport.

For example, the Devil's Type 70 infantry gun, with a 200mm caliber, only weighs more than [-] kilograms. With the addition of rollers, it can be dragged away by two or three little devils.

It's just that if the moving distance is too long, it will be troublesome, and a special tractor must be used for transportation or traction.

After arriving at the place, it is necessary to unload the artillery from the car in time, then select the area on the spot, and then immediately reassemble the artillery to build an artillery position.

It's basically going back and forth, unloading, assembling, dismantling, loading, transporting...

Back and forth, seven times or eight times, the little devils of the artillery unit were exhausted.

Such a cumbersome artillery ran around with the lightly armed main combat troops, going east and west for a while, chasing the fleeing Eighth Route Army troops all over the mountains and plains.

It can be inferred from the toes that over time, the artillery troops of the devils will gradually be unable to keep up, and they will be gradually pulled away.

This distance may not be too far, only one or two kilometers away, if the devil's cavalry returns quickly to help.

It will be there in three to five minutes.

But it happened that these three to five minutes were enough for the Eighth Route Army to sneak in secretly and use the unusual surprise attack method to quickly destroy the devil's artillery unit.

The devil's reinforcement cavalry came quickly, but within a short time, they arrived while galloping on horseback.

However, when they arrived, it was too late.

The last thing they saw was a series of massive explosions that wiped out a dozen guns of the artillery squadron.

Then there were those damn Eight Routes, accompanied by four armored vehicles, who quickly evacuated towards the rear of his empire's advancing line.

After all, the little devil did not dare to continue the pursuit.

The artillery has been destroyed instead of being captured by those Eighth Route Army, which is one of them.

The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had four armored vehicles, such indestructible weapons of war, even if the devil's light cavalry followed, they would probably only be slaughtered.

This is the second.

Thirdly, the devil officer leading the team looked up at the sky, and then couldn't help but swear.

Damn it, it's almost dark!

Looking at the dozens of cannons that were blown to pieces in front of them, they would never be put into use on the battlefield again without a long period of repairs.

And the ammunition after being completely detonated, the remaining residue.

The devil officer who led the team knew very well that there was no way to go back and report back now.

Wait until the news reaches the headquarters of the 11th Wing.

Chuan Gu learned that his artillery unit had been wiped out. More than a dozen artillery pieces, including ammunition, were all blown up by the Eighth Route Army, and all the hundred and ten imperial warriors of the artillery unit were killed.

I was dazzled for a long time, not knowing what to do next.

"Armored vehicle unit! Bastard, this stupid first army, what are they doing? How could the Eighth Route Army have such a weapon of war in their hands?"

If you can't beat the enemy, you can only scold your teammates.

Chuan Gu put all the shit on the head of the first army stationed in Shanxi quite naturally.

The reason is also easy to understand.

If it wasn't for your useless First Army, would it be worth asking our troops stationed in Mongolia to go south and fight together in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army?
If it weren't for your trash from the first army, how could the Tuba Road of the Iron Triangle grow step by step to the present?

If it wasn't for your first army's combat effectiveness, as for the armored vehicles, they would have been seized by the Eighth Route Army.

Even the armored troops have been pulled up by the Eighth Route Army?

The sky gradually darkened.

In the night, the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army completely disappeared behind the defense line of the 11th Regiment of the Mongolian Army. It was like a lingering shadow that completely enveloped Chuan Gu, the leader of the Devil Regiment.

The potential threat of such an enemy armored force that has successfully entered the rear of the empire is too great.

If it cannot be destroyed in time, it will inevitably bring immeasurable consequences.

"What are the third, ninth, and No.385 mixed brigades at the base of the 16th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army doing?
Why haven't you come over for reinforcements yet? "

The incompetent and furious Captain Chuan Gu put the blame on the three major mixed brigades of the First Army.

He asked the communications corps to contact the headquarters again, and asked His Excellency the Commander of the First Army to immediately urge the three major mixed brigades to send reinforcements to the Iron Triangle base.

result……

The jokes are quick to come out.

In the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the devils, originally thought the same as Kawatani.

Using the garrisoned Mongolian army and the local security forces to attack the Iron Triangle of the 386th Brigade, and at the same time cooperate with the three mixed brigades that originally attacked the base of the 385th Brigade, attacking from both sides, and destroying the Iron Triangle in one fell swoop.

With the evolution of the battle situation, in the end, the third, ninth, and No.16 mixed brigades not only failed to withdraw from the 385th brigade base as planned, but were completely caught in the entanglement of the 385th brigade's Eighth Route Army's counterattack.

Shinozuka Yoshio turned pale with anger.

If he remembered correctly, not long ago, the head of the Ishikawa Brigade of the 385rd Mixed Brigade sent a message to him, saying that he had successfully blocked the Eighth Route Army of the [-]th Brigade in the deep mountains.

Then you should quickly withdraw the main force and assist the Mongolian Army to eliminate the Iron Triangle!

Who knows what happened.

First, news came from the headquarters of the [-]rd Mixed Brigade, saying that they were temporarily held back by the Eighth Route Army's active counterattack and were unable to get out in time to reinforce the Mongolian Army.

Then it was only three to five hours.

The third group, including the No. 16 and No. [-] mixed brigades, actually sent communication messages one after another.

What news?
A message requesting tactical guidance from the headquarters.

In other words, I can't beat the Eighth Route Army, so I'm asking for reinforcements!

At this time, under Shinozuka Yoshio, the main elites of the First Army were basically caught in a bitter battle.

There are 3000 elites in the area of ​​Huangya Cave.

On the outer line of Huangya Cave, there are still [-]% of the elite from the three major mixed brigades.

Plus the 36 elite of the 6000th Division.

In this way, except for the security forces still stationed in various stable security areas.

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly turned his head, and under his command, the nearest field army that could be used to reinforce the three major mixed brigades.

It doesn't exist at all!

In the end, what can I do?
No matter how important your army stationed in Mongolia is, it is not as important as the First Army under my command.

Right now, it doesn't matter whether we can get rid of the Iron Triangle. The important thing is to keep the three mixed brigades under my command first.

Therefore, the order quickly issued by the headquarters is quite dramatic:
Order the 11th Regiment of the Mongolian Army and the cavalry unit going south to rush to the direction of the 385th brigade base to reinforce the three major mixed brigades.

When the news reached the temporary headquarters of the 11th Regiment, Chuan Gu, the captain of the Devil Regiment, turned dark on the spot.

Ma Ma batch ~
Is the Commander of the First Army so shameless?
The one who was the first to request reinforcements not only failed to wait for the reinforcements, but now had to take the initiative to reinforce them as reinforcements.

How can there be such a reason?
However, the troops stationed in Mongolia went south this time to cooperate with the First Army to fight. These troops in Chuan Gu were temporarily assigned to the command and mobilization of the First Army Command.

Chuan Gu could only follow orders.

However, it was dark now, and the terrain of the Eighth Route Army's base area was quite unfamiliar to the Japanese army. Naturally, they couldn't take advantage of the darkness and send reinforcements in the direction of the 385th Brigade's base area.

Chuan Gu ordered to withdraw from the complex mountainous area that might be raided by the Eighth Route Army, choose a relatively open area, and after strengthening the vigilance, let the troops temporarily station and rest.

It was destined to be a long night.

For the Japanese army, it was even more frightening and a long night full of torment.

Audio Triangle Temporary Joint Headquarters.

The communications soldier brought the latest news to Ding Wei, who was in charge of the overall command.

"Commander, everything is going well. Our wolf troop took advantage of the night and began to move outwards. So far, most of them have successfully broken through the blockade of the devils along the way."

"In addition, four or five mobile units rushed out, including some armored units, semi-mechanized heavy units composed of cavalry, motorcycles, and chariots."

"Our snipers are also ambushing all over the mountains and plains, equipped with communication equipment, and serve as scout points at any time to guide the shelling!"

"it is good!"

Ding Wanwan nodded, his eyes were burning, and he said confidently:

"After tonight, the little devil will understand why in our Eighth Route Army base area, the night belongs to our Eighth Route Army troops.

Inform all front-line troops that a comprehensive offensive deployment must be made for me before dawn.

The combat policy is no longer based on defense, but on offense.

Completely crucify this Mongolian garrison army that has rashly entered the hinterland of our Iron Triangle base! "

……

The fall of night more or less exacerbated the fear in the hearts of the Japanese troops from all walks of life when they were fighting.

Although night battles are not lacking in the devil's usual military training program, this place is the home field of the Eighth Route Army, the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

The guerrilla tactics of the eighth route army, which was born and bred on this land, were the most troublesome but helpless for the Japanese army, especially when they took advantage of the cover of night.

The middle section of the base of the 385th brigade.

The main forces of the third, ninth, and No.16 mixed brigades of the Japanese army, who were trapped in a quagmire, struggled for nearly an afternoon before retreating most of the troops to this area.

However, I don't know when, the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army was so vast.

Right now it is only in the middle section, and it may take a lot of time to completely withdraw from the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and withdraw to the stable security areas and county towns.

Still have to travel a lot.

At the moment, almost all the battlefields are in fierce battle.

The 16rd and [-]th No.[-] mixed brigade, if you have to withdraw from the base of the Eighth Route Army rashly.

This is actually the first army of devils. This large-scale battle of the joint Mongolian army against the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area and against the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal is coming to an end and is a sign of failure.

For this reason, the old devil Ishikawa also made a detailed analysis and report to Shinozuka Yoshio.

In the end, Shinozuka Yoshio struggled for most of the night, and then told Ishikawa of his plan before dawn the next day.

Just a few words:
"Prepare for a strategic transfer. After your troops withdraw from the base area, you don't have to seek battle with the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Instead, the main task is to reinforce various battlefields, assist various imperial troops, successfully get rid of the Eighth Route Army, and strategically transfer to public security areas. "

To put it bluntly, even if I can't fight, I don't plan to fight anymore. You are going to pull other friends who participated in the war and withdraw from the base of the Eighth Route Army!
"General—"

Inside the headquarters, Chief of Staff Bei Chuan let out a long cry.

Yoshio Shinozuka leaned on his bamboo chair in a slumped manner, waved his hands weakly and said:

"There is no need to say any more. At this point, ensuring the smallest sacrifice and loss is the greatest victory and dignity."

As for the international attention.

Shinozuka Yoshio could only comfort himself with a few words.

The Chinese say it well!Victory or defeat is standard issue.

As long as our first army doesn't lose too badly, our empire still has the advantage, and most countries in the world are bullying the weak, so what can we say?
