Chapter 569: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

Within three hours, the Japanese launched five attacks, which had reduced one of the Japanese brigades to one squadron, and such a large-scale reduction in strength had to be suspected.

So when the little devil launched the sixth charge, the brigade commander decisively ordered the front-line troops to launch a counter-charge to see what the hell the little devil was going to do!

A squadron of the little devils proudly launched a military attack on the positions of the Chinese soldiers, they knew that they would be sent to death after being left behind, so they had to launch a suicidal charge against the Chinese army when they knew that they were invincible.

But what they didn't expect was that when they rushed to a distance of 100 meters, there was no gunfire on the Chinese army's position, but when they rushed to a distance of 20 meters, there was a burst of gunfire on the position.

"Da Da Da"

The submachine gun spewed flames, the little devil was beaten into a sieve, and the Chinese soldiers came out of the bunker and fired at the little devil with the guns in their hands.

The little devils are not afraid of death, because they know that if they are deserters on the battlefield, their relatives who are far away from home will not be able to survive in Japan, so they can only choose death!

And the Chinese soldiers are facing death head-on, because they are protecting their families and homes, if they don't face death, their families will be insulted by these beasts in front of them, so the courage in their hearts is higher than the courage of the little devils!

"Kill!"

The two armies fought together, and the screams resounded throughout the battlefield, although the two sides were only twenty meters apart, but the two sides did not fight with each other, only each other.

The submachine gun fires at the rifle, the rifle fires a bullet, and the light machine gun fires a cartridge......

After the Chinese soldiers clearly blocked the little devil in front of them, they did not stop at all, and went directly to the command headquarters of the little devil!

However, when they rushed to the little devil headquarters, they found that except for the five corpses lying in the headquarters, the rest were a mess, and there was nothing of value left.

"You go back and report the situation here to the brigade commander!" The company commander who led the team into the little devil command felt that something was wrong.

The sudden change in the situation made him feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of what was wrong, so he could only report the problem he encountered!

After receiving the news, the brigade commander who was responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements immediately took out the map and looked at the route on the map.

As a brigade commander, he has a wealth of experience, according to his judgment, the little devil must have made a detour, and a brigade of Japanese troops they eliminated was just a bait to confuse them, and the real Japanese reinforcements were probably already behind them.

"Brigade commander, if the Japanese army goes to Yinshan County from this route, I'm afraid it will be almost to the rear of the besieging troops now!"

The brigade commander paced back and forth in the headquarters, and after the Japanese army withdrew from Xinyuan, there were two routes to take, the first route was to rush to Shanyin County on foot along the mountainous border in the west of the Datong Basin to support, and the second route was to cross the Sanggan River from the east side of the Datong Basin and go straight to Yingxian.

If the little devil directly supports Yingxian, he doesn't have to worry, because Li Weimin and Liao Fan are in the mountains east of Yingxian with the rest of the troops, as long as there is a little wind and grass, the big army can be killed at any time!

What worries the brigade commander is that the little devil will go south from the west to support the county seat of Sanyin, and then cooperate with the reinforcements from the direction of Shuozhou to directly surround a regiment attacking Shanyin.

The situation is extremely urgent now, after all, at least three hours have passed.

"Leave a battalion of troops to stay behind, clean up the battlefield, and arrange scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the small devil's large army, and the rest will immediately set off to support Sanyin County!"

The brigade commander immediately made a decision, and in his judgment, the little devil was the most likely to support the county seat of Sanyin.

If the little devils want to take a detour from the mountainous area in the western part of the Datong Basin, they will inevitably abandon their trucks. If you rush to the county seat of Sanyin on foot, you can still reach it in two hours by taking the main road at the speed of the Chinese army.

"Brigade Commander, fellow has something to report to you!" A fighter walked into the command with a fellow.

This fellow was the local guide recruited by Li Weimin, and when he heard that the troops were in trouble, he immediately took the initiative to stand up.

"Sir, I know that less than five miles northwest from Xinyuan, there is a path into the mountains, and I'm afraid that the little devil walked from there!"

When the brigade commander of the New 33rd Army heard the words of his fellow countryman, he had an idea in his heart.

"Fellow, are you sure it's only five miles away? If there is a mistake, the military plane will be delayed! ”

The New 33rd Army must determine whether what the fellow said is true, and if they make a mistake, they may have to delay for a long time.

"I've been walking this road for more than ten years, how could I be wrong! Nine times out of ten, the little devil is bypassing from that side! ”

"Fellow, why didn't you say it earlier! We've been fighting here for a long time, and now it's in vain! ”

One regiment commander complained that although they had wiped out a large group of Japanese troops at a small cost, they had not completed their mission and were likely to wipe out the troops besieging the county town of San'in!

The brigade commander glared at his regimental commander and told him to shut up and talk less.

"I ...... about the troops I don't really understand either, I just heard the soldiers say that the big army of little devils was let go, I ...... I just knew the seriousness of the matter! ”

The fellow was a little at a loss for a while, and he realized that he had made a mistake and let the little devil go. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the fellow countrymen, it's just that the regiment commander just now was worried about the situation of the troops besieging the county town, and he didn't pay attention to his attitude for a while.

"Fellow, you misunderstood, my brother is straightforward, this matter has nothing to do with you, and now you have provided us with such important information, we thank you for being too late!"

The brigade commander of the New 33rd Army is really grateful to the fellow for telling him the news in time, because in addition to caring about the movements of the little devil's big army, now he and you are concerned about the little devil's truck.

With trucks, they took the main road and were able to reach the county seat of San'in in less than an hour.

Under the leadership of the fellows, they rushed to the mountain pass, and through the soldiers' search for tire prints, they finally found the truck in which the Japanese soldiers were riding, which was great news for the brigade commander.

At this time, the Japanese army had already left the mountain pass and appeared behind the besieging troops, and the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on the besieging Chinese army.

If it weren't for the fact that the besieging troops were thinking about besieging the Japanese army and building defensive fortifications outside the city, the sudden little devil would have been able to open the road to the county seat of San'in with a single charge.

These fortifications played a crucial role, and although the besieging troops suffered a bit of casualties, they still held their fortifications.

However, stabilizing the defensive line was only the first part, and the Japanese troops in Shanyin County learned that the supporting troops had arrived, and immediately cooperated with the reinforcements to form a two-sided attack on a regiment besieging the city.

This is not the worst case, the form is still developing in a bad direction, the besieging troops are not all concentrated in one point, they have been divided into four sections by the Japanese army, and they can't echo each other, so they can only fight separately, so there is a problem in coordination.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Japanese troops in the direction of Shuozhou also wanted to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie and get some credit, and they were rushing to Shanyin County at full speed.

Originally, it was a regiment of the New 33rd Army that besieged the county seat of Shanyin, but now they have become the object of encirclement, and they are in danger of being annihilated at any time.

After repelling the first attack of the little devils, taking advantage of the interval in the battle, the regiment commander immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures for breaking through.

Just halfway through the meeting, the sound of gunfire rang out from the periphery.

It turned out that the brigade commander and the others took a truck and rushed from Xinyuan to the outskirts of Shanyin County in more than half an hour. The troops did not stop and immediately launched an attack from the rear.

At first, when the commander of the little devil saw that it was a truck on their side, he thought it was reinforcements, but when he was about to go out to welcome him, he saw through the binoculars that the Chinese soldiers who jumped out of the truck were all Chinese soldiers.

At this time, the little devils understood that the truck was coming to block them, and the Chinese army found their abandoned truck and directly made a truck to kill them from the main road to the county seat of Shanyin.

The commander of the little devil was furious, this is simply a great shame, they abandoned the truck and walked for more than three hours on the mountain road to arrive, and now it is fortunate that the Chinese soldiers arrived in their truck in only half an hour, how can this be played!

The commander of the little devil has never been so frustrated, but he can't stop directing the battle because he is frustrated, and he can't sit here and wait for death because he is frustrated.

Although they did not have fortifications, he still had guns in his hands, which was his greatest asset.

While organizing an active defense, the commander of the little devil asked for help in the direction of Shuozhou.

The reinforcements from the direction of Shuozhou were advancing at full speed, but after receiving a telegram asking for help, saying that the Chinese army, which had been numbering more than 6,000 people, had joined the battlefield, they immediately stopped their support, only because of the ambiguous order given by the commander of the little devil in Shanxi.

Under the certainty that victory could not be guaranteed, the little devils in the direction of Shuozhou did not dare to advance rashly, but just stationed in place and watched the dynamics of the war.

It was getting dark, and in the county town of Shanyin, a regiment of the Chinese army besieged the little devil in the city of Shanyin, and the reinforcements of the little devil surrounded a regiment of the Chinese army, and the Chinese reinforcements who arrived surrounded the little devil reinforcements.

The day is over, and the night has arrived, giving everyone a breather and rearranging their troops.

And the brigade commander of the New 33rd Army did not rashly order an attack and open up the road to the besieged!

Because now is a good opportunity, they can eliminate this Japanese reinforcements from Datong, without this Japanese reinforcements, it is a good thing for them to attack Datong.

There is also the fact that they rushed to the rescue, the artillery was left behind, and in order to reduce the casualties of their own soldiers, they need powerful artillery fire!
