On the position of Shou County, the two sides are fighting fiercely.

Wang Xikui hid behind a collapsed corner, his body was all hidden, and the sniper rifle in his hand was quietly pointed into the distance. With a crisp gunshot, behind the battlements in the distance, a devil who only exposed half of his head cracked his brain and fell straight down.

"Awesome..."

Next to him, the commander of the second company of the first battalion and the second company exclaimed.

The commander of the second company visually measured the distance, and the devil was about 400 meters and 30 meters away from his location, separated by 430 meters, and hit the devil who only leaked half a head, which was really difficult.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Wang Xikui smiled proudly and moved behind another wall battlement more than 100 meters away to continue to observe.

"Fifty-ninth."

Wang Xikui didn't have time to boast, so he hurried to find the devil, but the observer on the side whistled and said in a triumphant tone.

"Fifty-nine?!"

The second company commander's eyes widened, full of disbelief: "This battle, or the total?" ”

He knew Wang Xikui, he was the top shooter in the regiment, but there were fifty-nine devils, which was really a lot, and the little devils on the battlefield were very alert, their positions were very hidden, and they were on guard with each other, which was not so easy to kill.

"Of course it's this battle."

Wang Xikui didn't respond, and continued to observe and look for opportunities, while Junzi continued to say triumphantly: "From the beginning of the devil's siege of the city, to the one just now, there are exactly fifty-nine." ”

"Awesome."

The second company commander swallowed his throat.

At this time, pop... There was another crisp gunshot, and more than 350 meters away, a sneaking devil hiding behind the pile of bricks and stones was hit, the bullet passed through the eye socket, and the brain was shattered again.

'Sixty. ’

Wang Xikui smug hey, and then transferred again.

As soon as they left, several grenadier grenades landed where they had just been.

"Sixty?"

At this time, a new platoon commander came over, this was a platoon commander of the third battalion, and he also heard the number of enemies killed at sixty, and he sighed with emotion: "Xizi, it's amazing." ”

This platoon commander seems to be an acquaintance of Wang Xikui.

"Of course."

Wang Xikui's tone was still proud.

"I heard..."

Looking at Wang Xikui, who was full of pride, the platoon commander's tone suddenly changed: "Cao Mantang is on the left flank high ground, and as of yesterday, he has killed sixty-two devils." ”

Wang Xikui's face suddenly froze, and his smile disappeared instantly.

"Company commander, the regimental headquarters ordered us to prepare for retreat."

Just at this moment, a warrior ran over.

"Withdraw."

The commander of the first battalion and the second company immediately gave the order.

"Fuck..."

Wang Xikui scolded and scolded, like a grumpy wolf dog, scared Shunzi on the side, he knew the reason, Wang Xikui has been competing with Cao Mantang for the position of the first shooter in the group, comparing the number of kills with each other, this time he fell behind, I am afraid that he is very unhappy.

Fortunately, Wang Xikui finally obeyed the order and retreated with the troops.

"Landmines, prepare more mines for the devils."

When the second company commander retreated, he didn't forget to leave a gift for the devil.

"Wang Xikui."

During the retreat, Wang Xikui received an order: "The battalion commander asked you to follow the regiment commander, and you must protect the regiment commander and political commissar." ”

·····

It was nearly noon.

Outside Shou County, inside the Devil's Command, Yoshio Shinozuka was listening to the battle situation report of the combat staff officer with a black face:

"The front line reported that the offensive of the 78th Wing in the urban area was relatively smooth, and it has successfully broken through the first line of defense of the Independent Regiment and occupied some blocks, but the offensive has been suspended due to the blockage of enemy artillery fire by the follow-up troops."

"There was basically no progress in the offensive on the high ground on both flanks."

Regarding this news, Yoshio Shinozuka still had a black face and didn't even nod his head.

Seeing this, the staff officer tensed up, and his legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble.

After attacking Shou County for nearly a month, the attacking troops lost more than a full wing, and by now Yoshio Shinozuka is like a volatile gasoline barrel, and he may explode violently without any sparks.

This can also be understood, 10,000 troops, dispatched heavy artillery, it took a full month, and it took a full month to occupy Shou County, which is already a big failure, in the eyes of the front army headquarters and base camp, it must be labeled as extremely incompetent, and because more than 10,000 troops were pinned, the plan of this sweep was also greatly affected, and many Eighth Route Army took advantage of the loopholes in the direction of Shou County, jumped out of the encirclement, and entered the mountainous area northwest of Shanxi.

After this battle, I am afraid that His Excellency the Commander will face the reproach of the base camp and the headquarters of the front army...

Of course, this is an afterthought, but at this time, Commander Shinozuka has become the laughing stock of the North China Front, and is often ridiculed by other commanders, and some even call directly to ridicule.

Therefore, the staff officers are all cautious, if the commander starts a fire that day, I am afraid that it will not only be a slap, maybe the katana will come directly, and the lightest one will lose half a life.

"The vanguard of the 37th Wing and the 55th Wing still has an hour to arrive in Shou County, and the liaison handover has been done."

The staff officer continued to tremble and report.

"Hmm."

At this point, Yoshio Shinozuka finally replied with a word.

In a month's offensive, although he suffered huge losses, the independent regiment also suffered heavy losses visible to the naked eye, as long as the two new wings arrived, the two wings were encircled, and Shou County was completely encircled, then Li Yunlong would not be able to escape.

As long as Li Yunlong is eliminated, then no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it.

"Order..."

As soon as Yoshio Shinozuka thought of ordering the troops to continue the offensive at any cost, another staff officer ran in and spoke in a hurried tone:

"Report, front-line troops report, the independent regiment is retreating, there are no defenders in Shou County, through reconnaissance aircraft at low altitudes, a large number of small units were found between the mountain paths behind the mountain, and the independent regiment seems to be scattered and broken through on a company scale."

"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up suddenly, but soon, he controlled the shock, he had been prepared for the breakthrough of the independent regiment, but at this point in time, he was still very caught off guard:

"It seems that Li Yunlong has already discovered the two wings of the original Zengyuan."

But then, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned again:

"Break out in a company unit?"

Breaking through with the company as a unit was really unexpected by Yoshio Shinozuka, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

In anticipation, the independent regiment might concentrate on breaking through and entering the mountainous area, and he also formulated a series of countermeasures, and even brought in a number of reconnaissance planes to circle and reconnoitre.

It is really not easy to mobilize these planes, after the bombardment of Taiyuan Airport, there are only a dozen planes left, and there is not much fuel, the empire's current resources are biased towards the navy, and it is difficult to replenish army aircraft, and this aircraft needs to deal with most of the sweeping area, and he still personally called General Gangcun to be agreed.

"Map."

I found a map of Shou County, looked at the complex mountainous terrain behind Shou County, and fell into deep thought.

He had to admit that Li Yunlong's trick to disperse and break through was very exquisite.

The mountainous terrain stretching behind Shou County, as well as the complex and changeable mountain roads, are very suitable for the march of small troops, and a company-level unit of more than 100 people can easily hide among the mountains without being discovered by reconnaissance planes. And no matter how many troops he has, it will not be possible to completely blockade him, and a large number of troops will inevitably infiltrate through the complex terrain of the mountains.

But can you really get out?

Moving his gaze to the plains outside the mountains behind, the corners of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth curled.

In the rear of Shou County, the mountainous terrain is indeed large enough, but this time he has an army of 10,000, and the supplies can still support a month, and there is enough time to pursue and search.

The blockade force is not strong, generally only one squadron, and the entire regiment or even a single battalion of your independent regiment is easy to penetrate, but with a company, it is not so easy.

"Command."

Taking a deep breath, Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order:

"The 33rd Wing, the 78th Wing, the 97th Wing, the 37th Wing, and the 55th Wing took the brigade as a unit and went deep into the mountains to pursue."

"Hey."

The staff officer quickly went to give the order.

"In addition, order the cavalry wing to advance along the road on the left flank of Shou County to intercept the retreating Eighth Route Army."

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly ordered.

At this time, the independent regiment retreated in full, and there was no need to protect the artillery units, and the cavalry units were highly mobile and could be used to intercept the troops of the independent regiment that broke through in a company.

"Hey."

The order was quickly conveyed, including the crippled 33rd Infantry Wing, and the 5th Wing of the Devils were divided into brigades along the mountain road deep into the mountains behind Shou County to pursue the Independent Regiment.

Between the flank roads of Shou County, Kuroshima Daisa, a member of the royal family, led his cavalry wing along the road to intercept the independent regimental troops who tried to pass the road, but before they could go far, a barrage of bullets was fired from the flank, and a dozen or so cavalry fell to the ground.

The cavalry battalion of the separate regiment struck.

After the blow, the cavalry battalion quickly retreated along the mountains.

Sun Desheng knew very well in his heart that their purpose this time was to attract the attention of the devil cavalry, to prevent other retreating troops from being stuck by the devil cavalry, and there was no need to fight with the little devil cavalry.

The soldiers in his cavalry battalion are all treasures, there are many seedlings in it who are learning mechanical technology, and there are tanks waiting for the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to drive! In the future, it's not too late to wait for the tanks to come back to the field.

"Kill to give..."

Finding the cavalry of the Independent Regiment, and there were quite a few of them, Kuroshima immediately waved his saber and rushed over with his subordinates.

What Kuroshima didn't find was that on the other side of Te, there were more than 100 people from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company that were preparing to cross the road.

"The devil's cavalry wing?"

The second company commander looked at the devil cavalry wing in front of him, and was suddenly stunned, and the whole person stopped in place and squinted his eyes.

"This wing, I remember, seems to be a heavy artillery to protect the devils, right?"

The second company commander looked thoughtful.

'Yes. ’

Behind the second company commander, a platoon commander's tone was confirmed, and then the platoon commander's face changed:

"Company commander, what do you want to do?"

He knew how deep his company commander's resentment against the devil artillery was, when the devil attacked Yang Village, the second company was blown up by the devil artillery, and the company commander swore that he would blow up the devil's cannon one day.
