Naosaburo Okabe nodded in agreement.

The 6th Division is one of the two most capable divisions in the Wa Kingdom, and it is also a benchmark elite unit. Once the 6th Division was completely wiped out in the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan, this would have a very bad impact on the Japanese state.

What's more, the Emperor already knew about the ambush of the 6th Division, and a few minutes ago he sent an urgent telegram asking Okabe Naosaburo to personally mobilize heavy troops, regardless of the small-scale counterattacks and provocations of the Jin Sui Army and the Nationalist Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, the northwest area of Jin and other places, and also send heavy troops to rescue the headquarters of the 6th Division.

Otherwise, once the 6th Division was completely annihilated, it would be a blow to the morale of the Japanese army. After all, the 6th Division was one of the first 17 field divisions established by the Wa Kingdom, and its combat effectiveness was one of the strongest.

"Yo Xi, Miyano-kun is right."

Okabe Naosaburo said in a condensed voice: "In this way, order the garrisons of Fanzhi, Daixian, Yanmen Pass, Yingcheng, Laiyuan, Hunyuan, Guangling and other places to quickly reinforce in the direction of Pingxingguan. The 3rd Air Brigade at Datong Airport was ordered to dispatch all its fighters to attack the Hengshan base area of the new regiment, preferably to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao and attract Li Yunlong's attention. By the way, directly order all the troops gathered in Hunyuan to go south to attack the new regiment base in Hengshan, forcing Li Yunlong to send troops back to help! ”。

"Your Excellency Commander, this is a good solution, I will transfer troops immediately!"

Miyano Taro nodded, and then sent elite aviation fighters to attack the Hengshan base area, and at least one wing of the Japanese army that deployed part of the new regiment base area from Hunyuan to the south of Hengshan can also let Li Yunlong know that even if it is an ambush

Okabe Naosaburo suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped Taro Miyano, who was about to leave to deploy the troops, and said in a condensed voice: "Inform Tani Shouo of our countermeasures, and order Tani Shoufu not to think about retreating to Pingxing Kansai." Pingxingguan is now besieged by thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, and it is already difficult to protect itself. What's more, the Pingxing Pass is narrow, and a few shells can blow them up, and they suffer heavy casualties. Ordered Gu Shoufu to find a mountain in the Qiaogou Gorge to build fortifications and wait for reinforcements, giving full play to the field strength of the 6th Division. ”。

"Understood, Your Excellency Commander! Humble duty understood! ”

Taro Miyano nodded solemnly, this is a must.

Seeing the figure behind Taro Miyano who was hurrying away to deploy the transfer of troops, Naosaburo Okabe turned his gaze to the huge sand table placed on the table in front of him, and the small flags on it marked the current development of the battle situation.

"Baga, Li Yunlong, you really don't stop! Is the combat effectiveness and strength of the new regiment already so strong? Okabe Naosaburo thought to himself.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was standing on the high mountain of the ambush headquarters and condescendingly observing the battle situation, suddenly sneezed, and involuntarily said: Made, who is cursing labor and management?

Huzi, the guard on the side, said loudly: "Regiment leader, smashed? ”。

"It's okay! He called Zhang Dabiao and ordered his first battalion to cooperate with the second battalion, increase the firepower on both flanks, and solve the Japanese forces in the valley as soon as possible. Sent someone to order Wei Dayong, the commander of the third battalion, Ma Wenhai, and the commander of the fourth battalion, He Yongjie, that the labor and management now did not have much reserves in their hands, and ordered them to withstand the fierce attack of the remnants of the 36th Brigade of Ushijima Man. Now the two brother units of the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which were killed from the east of Qiaogou Gorge, have retreated westward with the remnants of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Devil. ”

Li Yunlong looked at the battle situation in the Qiaogou Canyon for a while, and then waved his hand to the staff officer on the side.

"Yes, Captain." The staff officer of the field command replied.

With Li Yunlong's successive command orders, all units of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the 28th Regiment and the three independent regiments worked together to lock the encirclement step by step, and from time to time sent a number of favorable rushing troops to fight with the Japanese troops. However, the encirclement locked by the new regiment and other parts has been shrinking, trying to hang Tani Shoufu's neck step by step.

At this time, Gu Shoufu, who was in the middle of the Qiaogou Gorge and leaned on the mountains on one side of several valleys, stood in his temporary field headquarters, constantly looking around and observing.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

There were explosions around the field headquarters of the 6th Division, and the Japanese soldiers on guard around it were also killed by heavy artillery fire, killing more than 10 people.

The devil guards who were responsible for guarding Gu Shoufu and other 6th Division regimental headquarters hurriedly sent people to escort them in real time to ensure that the devil commanders of the 6th Division regimental headquarters in Gu Shoufu and other places could be safe and sound.

It's just that the artillery fire on the battlefield is deafening, and the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army has been able to target Gu Shoufu's headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, bring on your steel helmet! The ambush fire of the Eighth Route Army is estimated to have found our division headquarters here. The surrounding artillery fire is much more intense, and maybe dozens of shells will come in the future! Seeing the fierce explosion of artillery fire around him, and the screams of many devil soldiers guarding the division headquarters had been blown up, he couldn't sit still when he heard the chief of staff of the division and regiment, and walked quickly to Gu Shoufu and whispered persuasion.

Gu Shoufu waved his hand, kept the tail flame of the commander of his 6th Division, shook his head and said, "Shimono-kun doesn't need to say it. At present, the bunkers of the division headquarters can still block the attack of the opponent's mountain artillery, at least the opponent's heavy artillery has not discovered us. Otherwise, the division headquarters would have already been attacked by the opponent's two heavy guns. ”。

After a pause, Gu Shoufu continued: "Don't talk about this, has Commander Okabe called back?" ”。

"I was about to report to His Excellency the division commander that the Taiyuan Military Department had called back and ordered our department to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. The Pingxing Pass garrison was already unable to protect itself, and Daisuke Kotani was no longer able to advance eastward to meet the breakthrough of our 6th Division. Commander Okabe has ordered the Imperial Army troops near the town of Heikaseki to send out all their forces to reinforce us. In addition, His Excellency the Commander has ordered a wing of the Imperial Army gathered in Hunyuan to overcome all difficulties and go south to the Hengshan Mountains and attack the base area of the new regiment in Hengshan, so as to force Li Yunlong to send troops back to his base area and relieve our pressure. ”

After a pause, Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Shimono Kazuho continued: "Also, Your Excellency the Commander has ordered the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Air Force stationed in Datong to dispatch all its fighters to attack the base area of the new 1st Regiment in Hengshan and reinforce the trapped troops in Pingxingguan. ”。

"Yo Xi, that's good news! In this case, order all troops to stop breaking through, move closer to the mountains around the division and regimental headquarters, and immediately build fortifications and wait for reinforcements! Gather all the food and ammunition and prepare to hold on for at least an hour! Gu Shoufu ordered with a resolute face, at this time there was no other way but to act according to Okabe Naosaburo's orders.

Hearing this, Shimono Yihuo paused and said, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。
