The Japanese soldiers in the open ground completely lost their courage to resist under the repeated attacks of the Eighth Route Army cavalry.

In the end, there were not many Japs left, and the Eighth Route Army cavalry did not even need to organize a charge and began to hunt freely.

The open ground instantly became a slaughterhouse. The cavalry had a great time killing, but the Japanese were killed miserably.

Masao Nakamura, who was watching this scene through the telescope, was immediately turned pale with anger.

These two attacks involved more than half of the Nakamura Regiment's troops, and they originally thought they could securely capture the opposite position.

But he didn't expect that more than a thousand cavalrymen rushed out from both sides, completely disrupting his plan.

The Japanese soldiers who participated in the attack on the First Infantry Brigade were chopped down to the ground by the Eighth Route Army like melons and vegetables.

The Nakamura Infantry Regiment lost more than half, and it was impossible to capture the Fengzhang Mountain position.

However, what Nakamura Masao is worried about now is not the Japanese soldiers of the two brigades, but whether the Eighth Route Cavalry will attack the Nakamura Regiment.

Before the battle was over, Nakamura Masao couldn't wait to give the order: "Move quickly, tactically transfer quickly!"

Immediately, the Japanese soldiers and artillerymen packed up their equipment, carried rifles, led mules and horses, and ran away with ammunition boxes.

After running for several kilometers and occupying a hilltop, Nakamura Masao used a telescope on the top of the mountain to look in the direction of Fengzhang Mountain. He was relieved when he saw that the Eighth Route Cavalry was not chasing him.

However, the battle on the Fengzhang Mountain side was over at this time. The Japanese troops who attacked Yushan in five times exceeded more than 1,700 people.

Masao Nakamura said with an ugly face: "Immediately send a message to the Second Army Headquarters and ask for tactical guidance!"

…

By the time Li Yunlong and Ding Wei arrived with their troops, the battle of the 772nd Regiment had ended, and all the Japs who had entered the position had been wiped out.

The front slope of Fengzhang Mountain was littered with the corpses of Eighth Route Army soldiers and Japanese soldiers, which shows how brutal this battle was.

If Ma Renxing hadn't arrived in time with his cavalry, the position would have been in danger of being lost.

Commander Cheng Shifa was holding a ghost-headed machete and sitting on the trench breathing heavily.

Li Yunlong walked over and patted Cheng Shifa on the shoulder: "Man, you have worked hard, and the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment have worked hard!"

The 772nd Regiment held off the fierce attack of the Japanese Nakamura Regiment for more than three hours, buying time for Li Yunlong and others to completely annihilate the Yoshino Regiment.

However, the 772nd Regiment also paid a heavy price, with no less than one battalion suffering casualties.

"You little son of a bitch!"

Cheng Shifa cursed and said: "He actually used poison gas bombs so crazily. If the little devil hadn't used poison gas bombs, I would have died as many times as I wanted!"

Some soldiers did not have gas masks, so their respiratory tracts were inhaled by poisonous gas, and their bodies were covered with ulcers and suffocated. It was very tragic.

"Lao Cheng, let me tell you good news." Li Yunlong said, "The 772nd Regiment has been holding off the Japanese for more than three hours. We have completely wiped out the Yoshino regiment from Taiyuan, and not a single Japanese has escaped!"

Cheng Shifa's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

Li Yunlong said: "Then there is still a lie. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Ding?"

Ding Wei nodded and said: "Lao Cheng, this is true. The Yoshino Infantry Regiment was completely wiped out by us."

"Great, well done!" Cheng Shifa said, "Our 772nd Regiment lost a battalion, it was worth it!"

Li Yunlong said: "Look, Old Cheng, you lost one battalion. With these captured weapons and ammunition, your 772nd Regiment can form 2 or even 3 more battalions!"

Cheng Shifa felt better now. The sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers, especially those of the Red Army soldiers, made him feel very uncomfortable.

Ma Renxing came up on horseback, saluted Li Yunlong and asked: "Captain Li, the remaining Japanese and about 2,000 people have escaped. Should we pursue them?"

"Don't chase the poor bandits." Li Yunlong said, "I'm afraid this group of devils won't dare to come again. Let the soldiers quickly clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded!"

"Ma Chengfeng, send a report to the headquarters..."

…

Taiyuan Japanese First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly ugly.

After a few minutes, someone was sent to the telecommunications room to ask if the Yoshino United team had been contacted.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the clock on the wall and saw that the headquarters had lost contact with the Yoshino Regiment for two full hours.

No matter how many calls were made to the stations and radios, there was no response.

A strong ominous premonition emerged in Yoshio Shinozuka's mind. Could something have happened to the Yoshino Alliance?

But he immediately shook off the idea.

The Yoshino Regiment is the elite unit of the 3rd Regiment. It has proven its strength in combat and defeated a division of the China Army with an infantry brigade.

With such a strong fighting power, he should not be defeated by Tubalu.

Even if they are defeated, they should be able to retreat quickly.

The inability to contact us should be due to a malfunction in the radio and radio, perhaps damaged by an artillery shell.

Just when Yoshio Shinozuka was thinking wildly, Communications Staff Lieutenant Colonel Rukichi Kasutani walked in, saluted with a military salute and said.

"Report to Commander, there is a call from the Second Army Headquarters!"

Yoshio Shinozuka: "Read it!"

Rukichi Kasutani opened the folder and read: "The Nakamura Regiment encountered a tenacious blockade by Tubal Road at Fengzhang Mountain and suffered heavy losses. The tactics have now been transferred and are withdrawing to Changshan. Long live the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!"

"Nani?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression showed disbelief. The Nakamura United Team was actually defeated by the Eighth Route Army?

He naturally knew that the so-called tactical transfer was just an escape, but he just didn't want to admit that he was defeated.

The so-called tactical guidance is nothing more than asking for support after a defeated battle.

"Contact the Nakamura Regiment of the Second Army immediately." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Ask about the situation of the Yoshino Regiment!"

Ryukichi Kasutani said: "Commander, I have contacted the Nakamura Regiment via radio. They said that the artillery sound stopped to the west of Yangquan more than two hours ago. If the Yoshino Regiment has not been contacted by now, I am afraid that the Yoshino Regiment will

It’s more dangerous than good!”

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

It's not because there is no news about the Yoshino Regiment, but it suddenly occurred to me that Taiyuan is now depleted of troops.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the Yoshino unit being sent to rescue Yangquan, there are now only a small number of military police and puppet troops in Taiyuan.

If the Jin-Sui Army marches eastward from Luliang Mountain to launch an attack on Taiyuan at this time, they will be in serious trouble.

As for the Yoshino Regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka still didn't believe it, and the Yoshino Regiment was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka ordered:

"Order the Imperial Army troops from Yangqu, Gujiao and Qingxu counties around Taiyuan and the independent 2nd Division of the Imperial Association Army from JZ City to station in Taiyuan immediately!"

"Pay close attention to the dynamics of the Jinsui Army in Luliang Mountain and report to me immediately if you find any special circumstances!"

"Also, as soon as there is any news about the Yoshino Alliance, report it to me immediately!"

Although Yoshio Shinozuka felt that it was unlikely that Yan Laoxi would send troops, he was not afraid of 10,000 but afraid of the worst, so he had to take precautions.

"Hi!" Rukichi Kasutani paused and quickly walked out.

…

Time goes back more than three hours.

While resting in the woods.

Through the radio, Wei Dayong received the message from Wei Xiaoyong.

Because the communication was very brief and was in dialect, and the Japanese troops were relatively far away, there was no need to worry about being monitored.

Li Yunlong wants to attack Taiyuan.

This shocked Wei Dayong.

But after thinking about it again, I felt that something could be done.

In fact, this battle does not necessarily have to capture Taiyuan, as long as it can achieve the purpose of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Because the walls of Taiyuan City are tall and thick, far from being comparable to the walls of Yushe County and Yangquan City, it would be difficult to shake without heavy artillery.

But then I thought again, if there is no threat to Taiyuan City, what if the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain does not send troops back to support?

This falls into an infinite loop.

Wei Dayong looked at the time and saw that the half-hour rest time was up and was about to give the order to get ready and set off.

Wang Gensheng ran over at an extremely fast speed, like a monkey, and the sound of his feet touching the ground as he ran was very subtle, as if he had a special skill in Qinggong.

This is because Wei Dayong spent 3,000 merit points on Wang Gensheng to upgrade his Scud [Mastery] skill.

When he arrived in front of Wei Dayong, Wang Gensheng whispered: "Report to the Chief of Staff that there is a situation!"

Wei Dayong's expression changed and he asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Gensheng spoke very quickly: "I found a group of Japanese soldiers on the road 300 meters ahead. They were walking north with several hundred Chinese prisoners of war."

Wei Dayong asked: "How many Japanese and puppet troops are there? How many prisoners of war are there?"
