Huang Yu was very anxious at the enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The main reinforcements sent by Neji Okamura have been killed, and only a few hundred remaining soldiers are still insisting on breaking through.
If they were allowed to sneak out from under the noses of several regiments, not only would everyone lose face, but the ambush would not be called perfect.
Seeing that the cavalry troops successfully blocked the enemy's breakout troops and launched an attack, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a face full of joy.
"Whether we can block the Japanese breakout troops now depends on the cavalry."
"Where are the attacking troops of the 21st Regiment? How long will it take to reach the battlefield and surround the Japanese breakout troops?"
"There are many Japs and few cavalry. The cavalry alone will definitely not be able to annihilate them all."
"What I want is to completely wipe out the Japanese reinforcements and not let a single kid slip through the net."
Liu Sen answered immediately: "Already on the way."
"The troops spread out while marching. When they reach the battlefield, they can encircle the Japanese breakout troops. They will definitely be able to catch up."
A correspondent hurried in and reported: "Deputy Chief of Staff..."
"The Japanese breakout troops divided their forces to fight the cavalry. The main force took the opportunity to huddle together and establish a temporary defense line. They were using machine guns to clear the way and quickly moved towards Baoding."
"The cavalry has destroyed the Japanese attacking troops."
"We are circling around the Japs and monitoring them. Please ask the infantry to surround them immediately and annihilate them all."
"God helps me..." The smile on Huang Yu's face grew wider.
Staring at the direction of the Japs' breakout troops, he said: "It's night now. If the Japs split up their troops to break out, it will be particularly troublesome for the troops to find them, and it's very easy for fish to slip through the net."
"Now that the Japanese troops are marching in groups, the little worry I have is gone."
"Let the 21st Regiment speed up the assault and encircle them quickly to prevent the Japanese army from temporarily changing their minds and dividing their forces to break through again."
"Cavalry, keep an eye on them."
"The biggest reason why the Japanese army formed a group was to prevent cavalry raids. As long as they did not leave, the Japanese would not dare to divide their troops easily."
After a series of orders came out of the headquarters, Huang Yu rarely returned to the headquarters and sat down. The nerves that had been tense for more than an hour relaxed at this moment. He took a long breath and said: "Chief of Staff, we won this ambush battle." .”
"Neji Okamura set up the stage and let us sing another good show..."
Liu Sen replied with a smile: "If Okamura Neji knew that you thought so, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot."
"He could have saved thousands of lives."
"As a result, a light infantry regiment was thrust right into our mouths."
"If you don't eat it, you'd be really sorry for his kindness."
"Report……"
When Huang Yu was about to say a few more words of emotion, the operator suddenly trotted towards them, looking very anxious as he hesitated to speak.
"What's going on? Just tell me..." Huang Yu said bluntly.
"Captain Li of the only regiment has an urgent call..." the operator said quickly.
"He wants to completely wipe out the Japanese troops on the left flank of Wei Zhuang. He still lacks troops and artillery. Please ask the headquarters to immediately dispatch two main regiments and at least thirty mountain field artillery to go west to reinforce Wei Zhuang..."
Li Yunlong is the commander of the regiment, and Huang Yu is the deputy chief of staff. Although they are not the same regiment, there is nothing wrong with giving orders to Huang Yu to mobilize troops.
But now Huang Yu is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, responsible for coordinating all Eighth Route Army operations in Yizhong.
As far as this counter-sweep is concerned, Li Yunlong should listen to Huang Yu's command.
Now Li Yunlong actually asked Huang Yu to mobilize troops in an orderly tone, which was definitely wrong. This was also the real reason why the operator looked embarrassed.
But Huang Yu didn't think so.
As long as he can kill the Japanese, it doesn't matter whether the person in charge of the former enemy headquarters is in charge or not.
Besides, Li Yunlong is famous for his informal style.
If it weren't for an emergency, he wouldn't ask Chenjiazhuang to borrow troops.
After hearing this, I felt no dissatisfaction. I strode to the ammunition box, spread out the military map of Yi Zhong, found the specific location of Wei Village, frowned, and started to analyze.
"Weizhuang is a good place..."
"The enemy's left-hand sweep is the only way for the troops to evacuate our base area."
"Although there is no particularly dangerous terrain, as long as Wei Zhuang is defended, the Japanese will not be able to move forward."
"We have tunnels. Commander Li relies on the tunnels to defend Wei Village. He will be able to block them for a whole day."
"The last report given to us by Commander Li showed that there are only 7,000 Japanese troops left to mop up the troops on the left."
"If we attack Wei Zhuang and lose more than 2,000 people, the total strength will be reduced sharply to 5,000."
"Excluding the artillery, baggage troops, and engineering troops in the team... the real combat infantry is only about 3,000 people."
"As long as we have enough troops and launch an attack overnight, we are sure to capture them."
Liu Sen nodded while watching. After Huang Yu finished speaking, he spoke bluntly and asked: "Xiao Huang, do you also agree to fight this battle?"
"Captain Li has set the stage, of course we must continue to fight." Huang Yu answered without hesitation.
"Besides, our original battle plan also included the idea of fighting continuously and then eating up the Kwantung Army and mopping up the troops along the way."
"It's just that Okamura Neji suddenly sent a light infantry regiment to disrupt our combat plan."
"Now Commander Li is sure to kill the left flank mopping up troops. We must cooperate both emotionally and rationally."
Liu Sen continued to nod: "The battlefield was selected well, and the timing of the decisive battle was also good for me, but I am worried that the troops will not be able to reach Wei Zhuang in time to join the battle."
"According to what you just thought, Commander Li will launch a general attack on the remaining Japanese troops tomorrow night, and the two sides will show off."
"It will be dawn in more than three hours."
"If the troops set off now, they won't be able to reach Wei Village before dawn."
"There are planes cruising above us during the day. Small groups of troops marching can still escape. If several regiments march together, no matter how dispersed they are, they can't hide from the eyes of the planes, so we definitely can't leave during the day."
"If we wait until dark tomorrow to march, the troops will arrive at Wei Zhuangdu in the middle of the night, and they will definitely miss the time for the general attack."
"Moreover, the troops fought all night and then marched for six or seven hours to get to Wei Zhuang. They must be very exhausted and their combat effectiveness must be greatly affected. It would be terrible if it affects Commander Li's decisive battle."
"I suggest that we report this situation to Commander Li immediately and let him prepare in advance."
"If it really doesn't work, we won't fight this battle in Wei Zhuang."
"We have wiped out one of the Kwantung Army's three-pronged mopping up troops and severely damaged two of them."
"Whether we can completely wipe out the left flank mopping up troops or not, we have won this counter-mopping up campaign."
"No need to go to Captain Li..." When Liu Sen's expression became more serious as he spoke, Huang Yu suddenly answered with a smile.
"I have a solution to all the problems you just raised."
"There are planes cruising above us during the day and we cannot march. The troops should take a good rest and take the opportunity to replenish their physical strength and equip themselves with ammunition."
"As for the more than 30 kilometers of road, no one stipulates that we must travel on two legs."
