During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

The brigade commander seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Do we have an official presence in Qingshan Town?" the brigade commander suddenly asked.

Li Yunlong wouldn't have broken out towards Qingshan Town for no reason.

"brigadier!"

"Yes, there is one in Qingshan Town!"

"Who?"

"The New Third Regiment!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"The New Third Regiment?" The brigade commander asked incredulously.

"Yes! Brigade Commander! It's Xie Jinyuan's New Third Regiment!"

"Brigadier General, you can't possibly say that the New Third Regiment fought the Japanese in Qingshan Town, and then Li Yunlong arrived in Qingshan Town and joined up with the New Third Regiment! And then..."

The deputy chief of staff then took a deep breath and said.

"Impossible!" The brigade commander quickly shook his head, and seemingly noticing everyone's doubts, continued, "First, according to the documents issued by headquarters, Yoshio Shinotsuka has deployed five field divisions this time!"

"Four of them were tied down by us and the Jin-Sui Army. The only one we weren't tied down was the Osaka Division!"

"The Osaka Division's attack route will indeed pass through Aoyama Town!"

“But according to Ding Wei, both sides have deployed at least more than a division! A hundred giant cannons!” The brigade commander shook his head and said.

“But Brigade Commander, doesn’t his New Third Regiment have…” After the Brigade Commander finished speaking, the Deputy Chief of Staff couldn’t help but interject.

During the last call between the brigade commander and Li Yunlong, he clearly heard that the New Third Regiment had more than one artillery company, and most likely an entire artillery regiment!

"Li Yunlong is still young! Let's put the artillery regiment aside for now!"

"Do you think his New Third Regiment has the strength of a division?"

"I only have less than seven thousand soldiers at my disposal!"

“If Xie Jinyuan had a division, wouldn’t I be a corps commander?” the brigade commander interrupted.

"This……"

After the brigade commander finished speaking, the deputy chief of staff frowned even more deeply!

He could believe that the New Third Regiment had an artillery company, but he found it hard to believe that it had an artillery regiment, let alone the strength of a division!

"besides!"

"Qingshan Town may not only have Xin San Tuan!"

"We have received a telegram from headquarters that Yan Xishan has dispatched the 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army to intercept the Osaka Division!"

"So it's hard to say for sure!" the brigade commander said immediately.

Chu Yunfei has an artillery battalion under his command, and given this important mission, Yan Laoxi might very well allocate some extra artillery to him!

But more than that is impossible!

Because the main battlefield still needs to be maintained, if it is all transferred to Chu Yunfei, then the main battlefield will be finished!

However, it is entirely possible for both sides to deploy a hundred artillery pieces. After all, if the New Third Regiment had not withdrawn from Qingshan Town, it would have had considerable artillery, and their opponent would most likely be the Osaka Division! The Osaka Division certainly had more than a hundred artillery pieces!

In terms of troop strength, it barely meets the requirements. Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment cannot be strictly called a regiment. It has a full five thousand people and can be considered a small brigade-level organization!

"But brigade commander, what are they going to Taiyuan for?" Blind Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Whatever happened on the battlefield, their going to Taiyuan was something he couldn't understand! Did they really want to attack Taiyuan?

"Brigade Commander! Do you think this is possible?"

"Chu Yunfei's troops, or Chu Yunfei's troops plus the New Third Regiment, or even Li Yunlong's troops!"

"A battle did indeed break out between the Osaka Division and Aoyama Town!"

"But they were outmatched and forced to be chased all the way north by the Osaka Division!" After a pause, the deputy chief of staff interrupted him.

"possible!"

After a moment of contemplation, the brigade commander nodded.

This guess is the most logical at present!

"But Brigade Commander! What do we do now?" After another pause, the deputy chief of staff couldn't help but ask.

All three main regiments have gone to Taiyuan!

If the speculation is true, then we are probably at a critical moment!

But now it's clearly a difficult problem!

After all, the 386th Brigade is different from small units; once it enters Taiyuan, there will be big problems!

This will inevitably provoke a fierce retaliation from the Japanese!

If you don't go!

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and the other two...

No, we also need to add a new Third Regiment!

"That son of a bitch, Li Yunlong!"

"Damn, they really know how to give me a hard time!"

The brigade commander took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.

……

at the same time!

A series of telegrams announcing the withdrawal of troops were broadcast almost simultaneously across the entire northwestern Shanxi region. This scene was not only present on the main battlefields but also on the secondary battlefields. However, what followed was a great deal of confusion!

After all, the Japanese had an absolute advantage on both the main battlefield and other battlefields, and there was no reason for them to give up a piece of meat that was within their grasp and retreat!

However, in comparison, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief upon escaping this ordeal.

……

The headquarters of the Daya Bay branch office!

The deputy chief of staff quickly pushed open the headquarters door, "Boss!"

"Withdraw!"

"The Japanese devils have really withdrawn!"

The deputy chief of staff suppressed his excitement.

In just over ten minutes, the Japanese troops retreated like a tide, not only on the main battlefield where the New 3rd Division was located, but also in the direction of the 386th Brigade, as well as the 379th Brigade...

Even the Japanese troops stationed at the battlefields of various county brigades and district squads quickly withdrew!

"What a ghost!"

The boss frowned and spoke.

Just a dozen minutes ago, the Japanese had already come incredibly close to the Daya Bay headquarters, and his "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Formation" was being pushed aside by the Japanese all the way to the very last moment!

In other words, he himself was prepared to die in battle!

But now this has happened!

"What about the Jin-Sui Army?" the commander asked, frowning.

"Boss! Let's retreat too!"

"The Japanese 5th Division, 11th Division, and all others must withdraw!"

"The entire force has been withdrawn!" the deputy chief of staff announced quickly.

"Damn it! This doesn't make sense," the boss muttered again.

"Boss!"

"Let's set aside whether it makes sense or not!"

"We've escaped a disaster!"

"But the casualties of the New Third Division were too heavy!" After a pause, the deputy chief of staff said with a regretful expression.

This sweep only lasted for three days!

But the casualties were far greater than the last time, with each unit suffering almost one-third of the casualties!

The casualties of the New Third Division were nearly half, and this is not even a complete count!

However, this time the力度 (intensity/strength) is too great.

Nothing else to say!

If we had another hour, the Japanese devils would probably have reached our headquarters!

He couldn't even imagine how to handle it at that point, especially with the boss's explosive temper! He'd probably fight the Japanese to the death!

"Logically speaking, Yoshio Shinotsuka has already made his statement!"
