At the time when the remnants of the Japanese army on Kenichi Muto's northern road concentrated their forces to break through to the south, at this time, the main force of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, which had withdrawn from under Guangling Castle, was already five miles away from Guangling City under the command of Hiroshi Yamada, chief of staff of the division.

However, the main force of Yamada Hao, who braved the snow to advance eastward, has been paying attention to the movements of the defenders of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army in Guangling City, but unfortunately the movements of the Guangling defenders have not moved like a mountain, making Yamada Hao, who has always wanted to eat the Guangling defenders in the field battle, very helpless.

On the highway from Guangling to Wei County, the main force of the Japanese army on the south road, under the command of Yamada Hao, saw that the defenders of Guangling still had no intention of leaving the city, so they could only increase the speed of the march and began to gallop eastward.

"Chief of Staff, according to the report of the troops covering behind the palace, the defenders of the Eighth Route Army in Guangling City still have no signs of leaving the city. It seems that this is to sit back and watch us attack Wei County!"

On the way to the march, Hiroaki Sakamoto, the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, said to Hiroshi Yamada with a solemn expression, and his tone was solemn.

If the independent battalion of Guangling's new regiment and the 2,000 guerrillas who participated in assisting in the defense of the city went out of the city to pursue the main force of the Japanese 3rd Brigade, Hiroaki Sakamoto would also have the strength to eat the opponent in the field.

It's a pity that the defenders of the other side clearly knew their own strength, and they didn't go out of the city to pursue in this weather situation, which can be imagined. The commander of the other side is also a veteran of judging the situation, and it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to succeed in its attempt to engage the defenders of Guangling in the field.

"Guangling's enemy army will not go out of the city if it doesn't go out of the city, and now the division commander is besieged by Li Yunlong's main force with ferocious firepower. At the mouth of the bifurcated river, the terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend. We can't march too slowly, regardless of the enemy army in Guangling, order all troops, speed up the march and advance, and rush to Wei County as soon as possible. Once they arrived at Wei County, they immediately launched an offensive against Wei County, and only then could they carry out a flank attack on the enemy from behind, so as to encourage the division commander to break through the encirclement. ”

Yamada Hao waved his hand and said, it is meaningless to say these things at this time.

Just a minute ago, Kenichi Muto's emergency came again.

Being able to make Kenichi Muto accelerate the attack on Wei County by the Japanese army on the southern route several times shows that the Japanese army on the northern route may have been in an extremely dangerous situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is already in a situation of total annihilation.

"Hello, Chief of Staff!"

Hiroaki Sakamoto nodded, thinking about it as well.

Once Kenichi Muto's Japanese group on the North Road was annihilated by Li Yunlong, then the battle of the 2nd Division's secret entry into the pass and raiding the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment in Hengshan was a joke.

With Yamada Hao's order, the main force of the Japanese army on the South Road began to continue to attack and advance towards Wei County, and as for Guangling City, which was gradually moving away behind him, Yamada Hao could no longer take care of it.

It's just that how could Li Yunlong not leave a hand to deal with the Japanese army on the South Road?

"Bang Bang Bang !!!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

......

After Yamada Hao's order was issued, on the highway more than 20 kilometers away from Wei County, many bullets were constantly fired from the mountains and forests on both sides and on the slopes, and there were explosions everywhere on the road.

The Japanese team that was caught off guard was cried by the bombing, and Hiroshi Yamada, who urged the devil troops to speed up their advance between the marching teams, was almost blown to the ground by the bombs in ambush on the side of the road.

"Bagaya Road, what's going on? Where to shoot and shoot? ”

Hiroshi Yamada cursed, but he kept hiding under the trucks between the teams, shouting covertly.

In just ten seconds, Hiroaki Sakamoto personally rushed to Yamada Hiroshi from the front, squatted down and said in a condensed voice: "Chief of Staff, the front team reports that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have been found on the hills on both sides and launched an attack on our team, and our men have rushed out and defeated them. As for the explosion on the road, it is estimated that it was an ambush of mines and other explosives by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army! The sappers have come forward to rule it out! Teams can move on! ’。

Hearing this, Yamada Hiroshi frowned.

For this style of play of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, Yamada Hao was very helpless. In this case, for the Japanese troops on the southern route commanded by Hiroshi Yamada, although the harm was not great, if there were enemy guerrillas along the way to block and harass them, I am afraid that it would not be possible to reach Wei County for an hour.

And at this time, it is unknown whether Kenichi Muto and their Japanese troops on the North Road can withstand it for an hour!

"Order the troops to attack and advance quickly, and watch out for enemy attacks on both sides of the road. This is obviously to delay our attack on Wei County! It seems that Li Yunlong's main force should know our movements, and this is to do their best to delay our attack on Wei County! Execute the order! Sakamoto-san! ”

It is impossible for Yamada Hiroshi to order the troops to stop advancing at this time because of the attack and harassment of some guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and now if Kenichi Muto's Japanese army on the northern route is defeated, then it is impossible for the Japanese army on the southern route to turn around at this time.

Because, Yamada Hao already knew that at this time, it was possible that the roads in the rear would be dug up and blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the only way to do this is to advance bravely, take Wei County, and make peace with Kenichi Muto's Japanese army on the northern route, and counter-encircle the main force of the new 1st regiment.

Otherwise, the advance and retreat cannot be between Guangling and Wei County, and it is also a 100% dead end.

"Hay, Chief of Staff! Humble duty understands! Hiroaki Sakamoto nodded, it was impossible for the main force of the army to turn around and go back at this time. The only option that can be chosen now is to attack and advance in the direction of Wei County.

As Yamada Hiroshi's order to continue to advance towards Ul County was issued, more than 10,000 Japanese troops on the South Road, under the command of Yamada Hiroshi and Hiroaki Sakamoto, ignored the attacks and harassment of the guerrillas sent by the new regiment along the way, and the cost of losing some of the little devil soldiers along the way, they hurriedly attacked and advanced towards Ul County.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was ambushing a hillside in the south five kilometers north of Wei County, was observing the battle situation with a telescope behind a hillside, and soon received an urgent telegram from Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion of the Guangling garrison.

"Made, this old devil Yamada Hiroshi actually ignored the threat from the rear! It seems that Kenichi Muto is in a hurry to rush reinforcements to Yamada Hiroshi! After receiving the urgent telegram from Zhou Hua, the commander of the Guangling Independent Battalion, who was handed over by the communications soldier, Li Yunlong smiled and said secretly.

After thinking about it, Li Yunlong ordered the signal corps: "Send a report to Zhou Hua, leave 1,000 guerrillas to guard Guangling City, and the rest of them are the main force of their independent battalion, and the other 1,000 guerrillas are dispatched, and more than 2,000 people follow the main force of the Japanese army on the south road for about five miles, waiting for our main ambush force to attack the Japanese army on the south road after annihilating the main force of the Japanese army on the north road!" ”。

"Yes, Captain!" The signal soldier stood up and saluted, and then hurried away to deliver the message.

Li Yunlong then turned his attention back to the siege of the remnants of the Japanese army on the North Route commanded by Kenichi Muto.

"Made, Kenichi Muto, this old devil is still very tenacious! It's been so long! ”

Li Yunlong thought in amazement, and then ordered the herald on the side: "Send a report to the battalion commanders, and in five minutes, the general attack will be carried out, and there will be not many devils left in the ambush circle!" ”。

"Yes, Captain!"
