Kuroshima Morita asked confused and angrily: "Where did these Chinese armed forces come from?"

"I don't know. These enemies are very powerful and should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army." the soldier replied.

"This is impossible!" Kuroshima Morita said, "Our unit just fought against the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the south of Yushe County, close to a distance of thirty miles. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Infantry to come here so quickly!"

The soldier said: "But within ten minutes of the exchange of fire with the cavalry outside the city, the horse farm was lost, and more than two hundred military horses fell into the hands of the enemy. At present, all the soldiers outside the city have withdrawn into the county town, and the enemy has already arrived at the city!"

Kuroshima Morita asked hurriedly: "How many troops does the enemy have?"

"No less than a thousand people!"

Before entering the county seat, all the remaining two hundred or so military horses were left at the racecourse outside the city. After all, they had been running all morning and had not eaten breakfast, so their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Moreover, Yushe County is so big and there is no place to place so many troops and horses.

The Japanese cavalry entered the county town to eat. As soon as they picked up their bowls, they heard the sound of gunfire coming from outside the city.

Kuroshima Morita immediately felt that something was serious. The Eighth Route Army's move was actually to annihilate the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment!

The reason why the Eighth Route Army did not take advantage of the main force of the regiment to leave Yushe County and send cavalry to sneak attack Yushe County was because they wanted to encircle the remaining troops in the county and eat them all!

Now there are not only more than 200 soldiers of the Kuroshima Regiment in the county, but also the Emperor and Prince of Japan, but Akimoto Akimoto is here.

The Black Island Alliance can all be annihilated, but Akamoto Mingyi must not die. Even if he dies, his body must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!

Thinking of this, Kuroshima Morita immediately called his adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Matsui, and said: "Immediately send a report to the commander of the First Army. The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army's Li Yunlong Division south of Yushe County. It suffered heavy losses and is now trapped.

In Yushe County, in order to protect the safety of His Highness the Prince, Kurodao implores General Shinozuka to immediately send a telegram to the surrounding ministries of Yushe to rush to rescue!"

"Hi!" Matsui Nakazao nodded, and then walked quickly to the telecommunications room.

Kuroshima Morita frowned. He only had more than 200 soldiers in hand now, and he didn't know if he could hold on until reinforcements arrived.

The Eighth Route Army's attack on Yushe County this time was different from its previous attack. Last time, it took advantage of the inability of the Japanese troops around Yushe to rescue and came to attack.

This time, the Japanese troops around Yushe can completely reinforce Yushe County. If the Black Island Regiment can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and cooperate internally and externally, they can completely turn defeat into victory and eliminate the Li Yunlong Department of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Kuroshima Morita made several phone calls in succession, ordering soldiers to go to the city wall to defend to the death, vowing to live and die with the county!

Akamoto Mingyi walked into the command post with gauze hanging on his hand, slightly panicked: "Uncle Kuroshima, what happened? Why are there gunshots everywhere outside the city."

"Your Highness." Kuroshima Morita immediately stood up and paused, "Our troops were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army south of Yushe County and suffered heavy losses. Now the Eighth Route Army has surrounded the county!"

"Nani?" Akamoto Mingyi's expression changed, "How could this happen?"

How could a well-trained elite cavalry regiment of the Imperial Army be defeated by a beggar?

How did Kuroshima Morita fight?

Logically speaking, the Black Island Cavalry Regiment should move sideways in the southeastern Shanxi area without any opponents.

Akamoto Mingyi couldn't figure it out anyway.

Is it that Kuroshima Morita is incompetent, or is Eighth Route Army too powerful?

"It's not that they are incompetent, but that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning." Kuroshima Morita saw what Akamoto Akihichi was thinking and paused, "The enemy actually prepared more than 200 light and heavy machine guns to deal with my cavalry regiment. It's me.

Too careless!”

"I have telegraphed Commander Shinozuka that the Imperial Army units around Yushe will soon come to reinforce him, and we will ensure the safety of His Highness the Prince!"

Akamoto Mingyi frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Kuroshima Morita said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the city wall of Yushe County is very strong. It may not be that easy for the Eighth Route Army to attack!"

Akamoto Mingyi said: "If the Eighth Route Army can capture Yushe County once, it can capture it a second time."

"But now, the Eighth Route Army has surrounded the county seat." Kuroshima Morita said helplessly, "Even if our troops want to break through, it will be very difficult!"

"Uncle Kuroshima, we can't sit still and wait for death. We must find a way to break out." Akamoto Mingyi narrowed his eyes and said, "It is very stupid to fight a trapped beast in the county town."

Kuroshima Morita naturally knew this truth, and said helplessly: "But all the horses of the cavalry regiment have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

If the soldiers have horses, it is easy to break through. With the mobility advantage of the cavalry, they only need to charge out on horseback.

But now, the final road is cut off.

Akamoto Mingyi said: "Uncle Kuroshima, I still have thirty Kwantung Army cavalry in my hand. They are all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. I just listened to the gunfire from the Eighth Route Army outside the city. The density is very low. I

Guessing that the Eighth Route Army participating in the siege must lack machine guns, I asked them to take the lead and they will be able to rush out. After we get out, we retreat to Liao County and at the same time telegraph to the Liao County defenders to support us!"

Kuroshima Morita's eyes lit up, how could he forget about the Kwantung Army cavalry? These thirty or so cavalry were in the city.

Kuroshima Morita immediately said: "In this case, I will immediately arrange a breakout!"

Then, Kuroshima Morita picked up the phone receiver, shook the handle vigorously, and then put the receiver to his ear...

…

Headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan.

When Yoshio Shinozuka saw the telegram sent by the Kuroshima Alliance, his expression changed and he couldn't sit still.

He slapped the telegram on his desk: "Follow Kurodao-kun's request and order the ministries around Yushe to quickly reinforce Yushe County at all costs, and be sure to ensure the safety of His Highness the Prince!"

"Hi!" The staff officer paused and walked quickly outside.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, both angry at Kuroshima Morita's incompetence and worried about Akamoto Akiyoshi's safety.

Kuroshima Morita is a waste!

An entire cavalry regiment, with more than a thousand elite cavalry numbers, was actually defeated, and they were defeated at the hands of Li Yunlong, putting His Royal Highness in danger.

Now he wished he could kill Kuroshima Morita alive with his own hands to satisfy the anger in his heart!

Feeling that the situation was extremely serious, Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the phone and ordered: "Send my order and all the staff will go to the war room for a meeting immediately. Also, call Yamamoto-kun!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone with a bang, picked up the command knife and walked out.

…

As various orders from the First Army Headquarters were conveyed.

Japanese troops around Yushe received orders to mobilize their troops and come to Yushe County for reinforcements at all costs.

The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army had already deployed its troops along the road, and the Japanese troops encountered a tenacious resistance just as they were dispatched.

The county brigade, district squad and various guerrillas also joined in, and Southeast Shanxi suddenly became a pot of porridge.
