Chapter 575: The Changing Situation

The commander of the little devil looked at the telegram in his hand and became more and more depressed, although the telegram was good news, but he began to doubt the purpose of this war, that is, his most basic beliefs began to waver.

From landing on the Korean Peninsula to northeast China and North China, he never wavered in his confidence in this war, and he took up arms to kill those Chinese who resisted in order to protect more Chinese.

Looking back now, the idea was ridiculous. Since it is for the good of China and for the prosperity of China, why are more and more Chinese beginning to rebel against them, even at the cost of their own lives?

Just like now they have come around here, dying so many people, not only do they not do anything to the Chinese army, but they still want to abandon the county town of Shanyin in the end, what is all this for, is it just to let the soldiers die?

The commander of the little devil thought more and more, and his thoughts became more and more complicated, and he understood what it was for. Is it really worth it for the soldiers who committed suicide to hold their positions?

A question popped up, and the commander of the little devil couldn't answer it for himself, and when his faith was shaken, he was already doomed to throw a lot of things that he couldn't figure out until the last bit of faith he had was smashed to pieces.

But although the commander of the little devil began to doubt the meaning of this war, he had no intention of abandoning the only remaining troops in his hands, because the more he wanted to do so, the more he should not let his soldiers die in this meaningless war.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers be ready to break out at any time and join our reinforcements!"

Since his commander was going to make him abandon San'in, there was nothing he could do but carry out the order.

"What about the troops in San'in Castle?" The counselor of a little devil asked.

"Telegraph to them, before tonight, try to break through and meet us!"

This was the only thing they could do, because everyone knew that once they withdrew, just one regiment of the Chinese army would be able to surround them all. Now, if there is a chance to break through and join them, we will still be able to evacuate together at that time.

After receiving the telegram, the little devils in Shanyin County knew that something had happened, otherwise it would be impossible for them to break through, because Sanyin City still has the city walls they have seen, as long as there is a little hope that they can be saved, it is the best choice to stick to help.

Looking at the telegram, the little devils in Shanyin County knew that the last moment had come, and if they did not break through, the consequences would be obvious, that is, they would be surrounded and killed by the Chinese army. If they choose to break through, they may still have a way to live.

As long as there is a way to live, no one will choose a dead end, and little devils are no exception.

So when Li Weimin and the others stopped attacking, the Japanese army in Sanyin Castle began to break through after more than half an hour.

"Boom Boom"

Mortar shells fell on the position, and one of the besieged regiments knew that this time they were no longer watching the play, and they were going to fight the little devils for their lives, they were not spectators, and there were no real bystanders in this war.

The Japanese troops inside San'in Castle opened the castle and launched an attack on a regiment of the New 33rd Army outside the castle.

"Da Da Da"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The county town of Sanyin, which had just been quiet for a short time, became lively again, and there were dense gunfire in the direction of the four city gates. Li Weimin, who heard the sound of gunfire, rushed out of the headquarters with a telescope and looked at the gate of Sanyin City.

"Order the artillery, shell the Japanese reinforcements in front of us, and we can't let them form a two-sided situation with the troops rushing out of San'in City to attack our troops!"

Li Weimin did not understand why the Japanese troops in San'in Castle rushed out of the city, and he thought that in the interval between the battles, the little devil's reinforcements would fight with the Japanese troops in San'in Castle on both sides to attack one of their surrounded regiments.

The artillery began to bombard the positions of the little devils, they were only trying to block the Japanese reinforcements from attacking one of the encircled regiments. The commander of the little devil did not expect that the Japanese army in San'in Castle would break through and cause such a big reaction from the Chinese army.

Outside the city of San'in, the battle was again in a mess, and Li Weimin ordered the Chinese army to attack the little devils and hold off the little devils' reinforcements, while the Japanese defenders were also trying their best to get closer to their reinforcements.

Except for the little devils in Shanyin County, who knew that if they didn't break through, they would have to wait for death, and the others didn't understand what the situation was, and they fought in a daze.

When a piece of information came, Li Weimin finally understood why the little devils in Shanyin County took the initiative to go out of the city.

When the Japanese troops in Datong were mobilized, the soldiers of the special operations brigade lurking in Datong City quickly figured out the situation, and the Japanese troops in Datong wanted to continue to support the operation in Shanyin County.

So they passed the news to Li Weimin as quickly as possible, but when the news arrived in Shanyin County, it was still two hours later than the little devil learned the news.

But the little devil's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and it is not too late for Li Weimin, he still has time to make adjustments.

Time is of the essence for San'in County now! Li Weimin looked at the information in his hand and finally figured out why the Japanese army in Shanyin County took the initiative to attack.

Now Li Weimin shouldn't be worried about the Japanese army in Shanyin County, he should be worried about himself, with intelligence, the Japanese army is more than 4,000 people, although the number is not large, they are still enough to deal with it.

But if the little devils cooperate with each other, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for them, and even if they win, they will win a bad victory, and this battle should not be fought like this, because they have to exchange the least price for the greatest victory.

Li Weimin looked at the map and carefully analyzed the current situation, there is only one main transportation route from Datong to Shanyin, and the little devils will definitely not abandon their cars, tanks, and artillery to rush to Shanyin County on foot, so the only way they can take is this big road.

"Call Captain Xin to me!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Weimin decided to block the enemy's reinforcements and wait for dark. Of course, tonight's darkness is not good for the New 33rd Army, but good for the little devils! Therefore, Li Weimin wants to take advantage of the advantage of the little devil and turn it into their advantage.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

Li Weimin took out the map and put it in front of Captain Xin: "Look at this place!" The place Li Weimin pointed to was Tao Village.

"The little devil has arranged four thousand reinforcements from Datong and has set off, Tao Village is the closest village to our back, I need you to guard him!" Li Weimin said, "But I don't plan to give you a regiment of troops, only give you a battalion of 800 troops!" ”

The little devil once again sent reinforcements from Datong, Datong must be an empty city at this time, Li Weimin needs to take a part of the troops straight to Datong, and there are no more troops to block the Japanese reinforcements.

Commander Xin knew that the tasks were a bit far apart, but this time the Japanese army had tanks and heavy artillery, and there was a five-to-one superiority. And his reinforced battalion, the best weapon is mortar, which is a bit different from the little devils.

"Commander, how long are we going to keep it?"

"There are still four hours before it gets dark, you have to keep watch for at least four hours, and if it doesn't get dark, you just beat the last person left, and you can't let the little devil pass through Taocun for half a step!"

"Division commander, can you give me another company and let me gather a thousand people?"

"Okay, take a company from my guard barracks, and put it under your command!"

One company of Li Weimin's guard battalion remained with Liao Fan, and now another company has been transferred.

At the same time as mobilizing the troops, Li Weimin also reported the news of the dispatch of the Japanese army in Datong to Liao Fan. I hope that Liao Fan agrees that he will go straight to Datong with his troops, and then after taking Datong, he will eat the reinforcements of the little devils little by little.

However, Liao Fan made a difficulty, and many years of experience on the battlefield told him that the little devil was a bit big. There are so many troops in Datong, and now the Japanese army has discharged more than 10,000 people before and after, and what is left in Datong except for the remaining Japanese army headquarters!

But such a low-level mistake, the little devil should not make it. Before figuring out the situation, Liao Fan ordered Li Weimin to be forbidden to move around, not because he didn't want to take Datong, Liao Fan was worried that the little devils had set a trap in Datong and waited for them to jump in.

If the little devil commander of Datong knew that Liao Fan thought so, he should be very pleased. He really wanted to set a trap in Datong, but he also had troops in his hands, and now there were only more than 400 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and it was only because of the unprovoked civilians and prisoners of war that he had the confidence to send out all the troops.

The information from Datong reached Liao Fan's hands again and again, and Liao Fan became more and more convinced that the little devil was really singing with him in Datong. But for the sake of prudence, Liao Fan still did not let Li Weimin lead his troops straight to Datong, because their scouts and guides had not yet returned, that is, they had not yet found a route that was sufficiently concealed and safe.

The battle of Tao Village finally began, and when Commander Xin rushed to Tao Village with his troops, he had not yet come to arrange his position, but asked a platoon of soldiers to organize the local people to retreat, and they wanted to use the houses in the village as bunkers to deal with the little devils.

The little devil's 4,000 reinforcements did not hesitate at all after being blocked, and when they came up, they fired a salvo of 10,000 cannons, and they bombarded Tao Village indiscriminately.

The fire from the explosion engulfed the old houses, and the Tao village was in a sea of fire, filled with gunsmoke, and it was just a finished village, and for half an hour, there was not a whole house left in the village.

Regiment Commander Xin's temporary headquarters just now also suffered a shell, and the battalion commander who followed him was seriously injured on the spot, and Regiment Commander Xin also had several bandages on his head and was wounded in his arm.

"Leave the dead alone, carry all the wounded out for me, and the rest are ready to fight!"

The houses in the village were originally simple, and after the artillery bombardment of the little devils, it was difficult for these simple houses to provide shelter for the soldiers, so they could only rely on these simple fortifications, a squad or a platoon to be arranged in Tao Village, ready to block the attack of the little devils.
