Brilliant Sword: Fighting against the Xixi System One Hundred Thousand Japanese Army

Hearing Lu Feng's order, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Zhao Gang, who were originally instructing the soldiers to clean the battlefield, were all at a loss.

Li Yunlong asked with a puzzled look: "Withdraw? It's not Lao Lu. What do you mean, we just brought down Taitong and now withdraw?"

Lu Feng said without changing his expression, "Even if we take down Taitong City now, we will also face the attacks of the devil's 26th and 20th divisions."

"So, the third phase of the Taitong campaign is to bypass the Sanggan River and go straight into the back of the 26th Division of the Devils, and completely eat them!"

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and they all saw the shocked expression in each other's eyes. They only now realized how big this situation Lu Fengbu was.

Not to mention devils, even Li Yunlong and others did not expect that Lu Feng would be so courageous before the battle.

Zhao Gang said slowly: "Lao Lu, our troops have been attacking continuously for a day and a night, why don't we take a rest and set off in the afternoon."

Lu Feng sternly refused: "We attacked continuously for a day and a night, and the devil's troops were blocked by our brother troops for a day and a night, the devils were more tired than us."

"We fought hard. The firepower of those troops who blocked us for our brothers was less than half of ours. They fought even harder!"

"Now is the time for us to compete with the devils in endurance. It depends on who can persevere, and whoever can win the final victory of this battle!"

"Let the troops clean the battlefield for two hours, rest for two hours, and we will set off in four hours."

"Correspondent, the telegram tells the headquarters that we have captured Taitong City. After four hours of rest, we will implement the third phase of the campaign plan."

------

Big Summer Bend, Headquarters.

The chief of staff got the telegram and trotted all the way to the general headquarters.

Seeing the excited expression of the chief of staff, the boss asked, "I'm afraid there is some good news for you to be so happy."

The chief of staff handed over the telegram to the boss: "Boss, take down Taitong City!"

The boss said excitedly: "Okay! That's great! This is the most critical step in the whole battle!"

The boss took over the telegram from the chief of staff, and nodded while reading it: "Okay! Very good! Directly forward the original text of this telegram to the central government, and also request the central government to spread the news of the recovery of Taitong at [-] noon today, and cooperate Our third phase of the campaign."

"By the way, order the Jizhong Column, the Second Column, and the Three Columns to open an opening for the Devil's 26th Division after twelve noon today, and let their infantry regiment pass. Once they pass, close the opening immediately. Resolutely block the artillery wing behind the devils, and cooperate with the armor that has been penetrated to eat the artillery wing of the 26th Division."

------

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu paced back and forth, roaring hysterically.

"Has the 26th Division arrived yet?"

"What are those trash from the 20th Division doing!"

"Has the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade got in touch? What else can they do if they can't hold a Taitong city?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu is of course not without troops to deploy, but the railways and roads have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, so it is simply unrealistic to deploy troops from a distance now, and now we can only rely on the 26th and 20th Divisions around Taitong .

At this moment, a staff officer ran in hastily, with panic written all over his face: "General, it's not good, General."

Yoshio Iwamatsu has encountered enough bad things in the past two days, and said with a sullen mouth, "What's the matter again!"

The staff officer said: "The big thing is bad! Taitong City has been brought down!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't believe the staff at all, and quickly said: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Taitong City is very strong, how could it be breached after only one night! Absolutely impossible!"

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Yes, the Eighth Route Army's broadcast, they have already told about this matter, it must be true, after all, the Eighth Route Army is not Guofu."

Yoshio Iwamatsu was shocked!

Taitong City is too important to them. Losing Taitong City is more important than losing Taiyuan, because the coal mines in Taitong City are one of the most important ways for little devils to plunder resources. If he missed it, he would not be able to take the blame even if he committed suicide by caesarean section.

Yoshio Iwamatsu hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, order Shigetoku Kuroda to break through the defense of the Tuba Road within today no matter what, and take back Taitong City! Don't tell me that there are too many casualties, I just wait for him result!"

------

Not far from the Sanggan River, the Jizhong Column withdrew from the alternate cover and let the 26th Division leave.

Shigetoku Kuroda's two-day bad mood finally got better, with a smile on his face: "Send a report to General Yansong, saying that we have broken through the blockade of the Tuba Road. They have suffered heavy losses and are heading to Taitong, so he doesn't have to worry too much. , I will definitely win Taitong City in the shortest possible time."

The Chief of Staff Changyong on the side said with some concern: "I think there is something wrong with Tuba Road. Until this morning, Tuba Road's blockade was still very firm, but we broke through this morning. There must be no conspiracy. "

Shigetoku Kuroda shook his head with a confident smile on his face: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I said that you are too worried. The bullets in Tubalu's hand are limited. Don't look at the resistance at the beginning, but once the ammunition in hand is exhausted, they will You still have to retreat obediently, don't worry, let the three infantry regiments reach the Taitong City as quickly as possible, and take back Taitong City."

Chief of Staff Changyong was still worried, but Shigetoku Kuroda looked confident, and Changyong was no longer able to say anything.

Kuroda Shigetoku's three infantry regiments had just passed through the position of the Jizhong Column, and the Jizhong Column once again tied the hole firmly, and sent the Devil's 11th Independent Field Artillery Regiment, the 12th Independent Mountain Artillery Regiment, and the Independent Engineer Corps The 26th Regiment and the 26th Regiment of Independent Light and Heavy Infantry stood behind.

The moment the hole was tied, Shigetoku Kuroda received the news.

Chief of Staff Changyong persuaded from the side: "General, it seems that this is the strategy of the Tuba Road! They want to surround us separately, and then attack each of us."

Shigetoku Kuroda still didn't care: "Chief of Staff Changyong, if we were surrounded by one or two regiments, Tubalu would have to eat them all at once. It's possible, but he wants to eat four of us in one go The wing, I'm afraid they don't have such a good mouth! At most they want to delay our siege speed, but all this will be in vain, tell General Yansong, before dark today, I will take the 26th The division is having dinner in Taitong City!"

Just when Shigetoku Kuroda was complacent, Lu Feng led the armored column to go around behind the devils, and joined forces with the Jizhong Military Region to attack the 11th Regiment of the Independent Field Artillery, the 12th Regiment of the Independence Mountain Artillery, the 26th Regiment of the Independent Engineers and The 26th Wing of the Independent Light and Heavy Infantry completed the encirclement work.
