Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 74 Back to the Carbine

As the Japanese infantry brigade was completely defeated, Zhang Shijie immediately led the troops across the Japanese positions and marched southward, ignoring the injuries and illnesses of the devils who had completely lost the ability to resist on the positions.

There is simply not enough time.

After walking a few kilometers through the position, Zhang Shijie suddenly felt that something was wrong. If he continued to go south according to the original plan, the Japanese army's pursuit and interception would be endless!
The battlefield environment where the Red Police Force is located will not improve in the slightest!The tactical goal of getting rid of the Japanese army cannot be achieved!
Zhang Shijie ordered the troops to stop advancing and tried to return to the base space, but the notification from the base system showed that it was still within the time limit of the engagement and would not be activated.

Seeing the system prompt, Zhang Shijie no longer had the idea of ​​avoiding the edge of the Japanese army temporarily, so he punched away with one punch to avoid a hundred punches!

Since he couldn't go back to the city, he had no choice but to fight the little devil tactically!

Then Zhang Shijie called Zhang Ning to look at the map, "Old Zhang, we can't go any further! I don't know how many devils are waiting for us ahead, I plan to change the direction!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Ning also asked Zhang Shijie: "Chief, where do you want to break out?"

"Go north, go to Taiyuan, kill the devils and return the carbine!"

On the way for the main force of the Japanese army to go for reinforcements, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are anxiously laying mines in the middle of the road, preparing gifts from the Eighth Route Army for the Japanese army, and also providing strong support for Zhang Shijie's red police force to delay the Japanese army's support forces!

"Squad leader! The devils have less than 20 minutes to go!" An Eighth Route Army soldier said eagerly to his squad leader.

"Comrades! Hurry up and clear the road, camouflage the mines! Then retreat immediately!"

"Yes! Squad leader!"

Following the order of the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army, a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers were once again busy on the road that the Japanese army was about to pass.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front Army.

Umezu Yoshijiro was overjoyed when he received the news that Zhang Shijie's troops had been blocked south of Caozhuang Village!
"Yoshi! We finally blocked them! How many troops are there to stop this Chinese army?" Umezu Yoshijiro asked the staff officer beside him.

"Report to Your Excellency, the infantry brigade of the 553rd Regiment is blocking this force, and the cavalry brigade is about to arrive for reinforcements!"

"One brigade?" Yoshijiro Umezu frowned when he heard that only one brigade was blocking this army.He knew the firepower and combat effectiveness of this army. The Japanese army with only one brigade could not block the attack of this Chinese army for a long time!
Umezu Yoshijiro asked again: "Where are the reinforcements?"

"The troops in charge of reinforcements encountered landmines and ambushes on the way to the firefighting area. The current advance is slow, and the only troops that can arrive at the scheduled time are the cavalry brigade!" The staff officer replied to Umezu Yoshijiro.

Umezu Yoshijiro was very dissatisfied with this news!
In the process of combat, the combat power generated by increasing the level of formation of troops is not a simple increase in the number of troops, but an exponential increase in combat power.

For example, Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force can defeat a large group of Japanese troops with its current strength and guarantee only minor damage. Japanese army!

The expansion and establishment of troops means an overall improvement in troop strength, firepower, support, support, etc.!For example, the Japanese army has only one artillery squad and two Type 92 infantry guns in the brigade-level troops.

But the infantry wing at least has the support firepower of an artillery squadron!
The firepower density will increase by orders of magnitude!

That's why Umezu Yoshijiro is extremely dissatisfied with the current progress of the Japanese reinforcements!

"Order Matsui United and Yoshino United to immediately support the Royal Locust Army Brigade in the firefighting area at all costs!"

"Hay!"

At this time, when Zhang Shijie's troops were sure that they could kill the devil and return their carbine, they immediately decided to change their marching route and head towards Taiyuan.

Twenty minutes later, the Japanese cavalry brigade successfully arrived in front of the original marching direction of Zhang Shijie's troops.

"Report to the headquarters! The cavalry brigade has arrived at the original blocking position!"

"Hay!"

Just when the cavalry captain happily asked the headquarters for instructions, Zhang Shijie had already led the troops and disappeared into the mountains and forests heading to Taiyuan.

"Report! The cavalry brigade has arrived at the original blocking position! But the communication of the infantry brigade blocking the Chinese army has been lost!"

Hearing the bad news again, Yoshijiro Umezu didn't even have the mood to scold others. At this moment, he just wanted to cut Zhang Shijie into pieces!

"Order the Matsui Regiment and the Yoshino Regiment to change their forward route, and the remaining decoy squadron and support group to merge into the two regiments nearby, and expand the encirclement area as soon as possible on the south side of the firefighting area! I have only one request! Annihilate this group of Chinese troops, Capture Commander Shina alive!" Umezu Yoshijiro gave the command command furiously.

"Hay! General!"

Umezu Yoshijiro looked at the area and ordered again: "Order the Gendarmerie Wing and the Tank Squadron to prepare for battle within an hour. This time I will personally command the car to march towards Caozhuang Village!"

Another staff officer hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Your Excellency, Commander! You can't go in person! There is an old saying in China that a son of a thousand gold can't sit still! As the commander of the First Army, how can you go to the front line in person?" ?!"

"Don't worry, I'm leading a regiment this time, accompanied by a tank squadron, so there won't be any surprises. But if I can't wipe out this army, I won't die!" Umezu Yoshijiro said angrily.

Due to the strong concept of superiors and subordinates in the Japanese army, the staff did not dare to stop them too much when they saw this. They could only persuade Umezu Yoshijiro: "Your Excellency, Commander, then you must take a tank and armored vehicle! The First Army can do without us, but it cannot." Without you!"

Umezu Yoshijiro nodded and patted the staff officer on the shoulder, and said, "Yoshi! Okamoto-kun, I understand what you think, so you can go with me this time! After this battle, you should also be promoted. For Colonel, become a regiment commander!"

"Thank you General!"

Since the Japanese cavalry brigade waited for a long time at the original location and still saw no trace of the red police troops, the cavalry captain felt that something was wrong, so he ordered a small group of Japanese cavalry to search forward.

After receiving the order, the cavalry squad leader Oda Shunyuan immediately led the cavalry to search forward until he saw the Japanese infantry battalion's blocking position with corpses strewn across the field.

"Go and see if there are any infantrymen alive! Ask where the Chinese troops have gone!"

"Hay!"
