The supreme commander of the Japanese army who commanded the attack on Xinzhuang was the deputy commander of the 22nd wing of the fourth brigade of the Japanese army, hiroshinichi doctor Zuo, who was the deputy of Dazuo Koizumi, who was killed by Guo Lingfeng. "Commander Zhong, have you figured out what part of the Eighth Route Army guarding this village is?" Hongxin Ichiro asked, putting down his telescope. He was very dissatisfied with the progress of the army's attack. It was dark and they had just hit the periphery of the village. They were not good at night fighting, so they had to surround the village.

Fortunately, there are two squadrons of their 22nd regiment and two companies of the 2nd regiment of the only Division of the imperial Association army nearby. Otherwise, they are really not sure they can stop them if they only rely on the people at the beginning.

In fact, he overestimated his opponent. He thought that they stormed for several hours with little effect. He thought that the other party had at least hundreds of people. In fact, there were less than 70 people of the Eighth Route Army in the village.

The head of the second regiment of the only Division of the imperial army was Zhong Yunhe. He was an iron traitor and had defected to the Japanese as early as the year before last.

This guy belonged to the Jin Sui army of Yan Xishan before he joined the Japanese. He didn't do anything good on weekdays. He did a lot of bullying men and women. He was used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so he was defeated as soon as he fought with the Japanese army. He couldn't help but exclaim: "the Japanese are hard enough!" so he defected to the Japanese.

It has to be said that there were indeed many soft bones in the Kuomintang army during this period. Many traitors were originally the regular army of the Kuomintang. These people had no integrity and easily betrayed their motherland and nation in order to live.

Zhong Yunhe was a colleague with Chu Yunfei in those years, but later became a traitor. Chu Yunfei sent people to kill him many times, but he failed to succeed. He was lucky.

"Mr. Hongxin, please don't be angry!" Zhong Yunhe was very respectful, even a little servile, "we haven't figured it out yet. We know that we haven't caught a prisoner so far, so..."

Hongxin Ichiro ignored him. He despised this guy who betrayed his nation and country. Just because we have to rely on each other's strength and according to his idea, we should have pulled this man and shot him long ago.

"To be sure..." Hongxin Yilang said, "this is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. We can judge from their combat effectiveness and firepower! The question is, what kind of organization is this Eighth Route Army in our encirclement?"

Zhong Yunhe said positively, "I think there should be a regiment, otherwise they won't last so long!"

In fact, he wanted to talk about two regiments. At least he thought that if his regiment was allowed to guard the village, he would not be able to hold on if the "imperial lords" stormed for four or five hours.

Hongxin Ichiro smiled and said, "I don't think it's like a regiment in terms of fire intensity!"

Zhong Yunhe hurriedly said, "the Eighth Route Army is good at keeping reserves. If it is a regiment, the commander of the Eighth Route Army can arrange a battalion at the forefront at most! But judging from the firepower density, it can't explain the problem!"

"Let's wait and see. We'll find out soon anyway!" Hongxin Ichiro said with fierce eyes. "Even if it's a regiment, they won't last long!"

As night fell, the temperature began to drop sharply. It had snowed during the day, and it snowed even more in the middle of the night.

Li Yunlong shrunk his neck. The freezing cold weather made him a little dizzy because of malaria, but his mind became clearer. He came to Guo Lingfeng and said, "Lao Guo, I just went to see the terrain. The devil laid a heavy defense at the East and west of the village. If we want to break through, we can only go from the South and West! I decided that you and I should take a team respectively. Let's break through separately!"

Guo Lingfeng said, "I don't agree!"

Li Yunlong said, "why?"

Guo Lingfeng said, "because I don't trust your body, you can't lead the team and command in this state. I don't allow you to take risks!"

Li Yunlong said with a low smile, "how dare you underestimate me, Li Yunlong?"

Guo Lingfeng said positively, "I'm not looking down on you. I'm afraid you don't know how serious your disease is! Lao Li, your disease is malaria, which is commonly known as" playing the fiddle ". It's not a minor disease!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Lao Guo, we have long agreed that you take care of life and I take care of the military. Should I take care of the war?"

Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "that's right, but you're seriously ill and confused. You can't perform the duty of military command of the head at all. Now I officially announce to take over your military command. Lao Li, you can rest assured. My comrades and I will lead you out of the heavy encirclement!"

Li Yunlong said angrily, "well, you old Guo, you've turned against you? I'm right here. Who dares to take my military command?"

Monk Wei on one side smiled and said, "Captain, if you are ill, don't hold on. I'll carry you later if you can't walk!"

Wu guanlei also advised: "commander, don't say I don't obey your orders? The political commissar is right. You are so weak now. How can you command us to break through? Or listen to the political commissar. Let's choose a direction to break through and run directly to the mountain. When we get to the mountain, the devil can't catch up!"

Li Yunlong seemed to vent in one breath. He was stunned for a long time before he asked, "let me ask you, Lao Guo, which direction are you going to take everyone to break through?"

At present, the west of the village is the direction of the mountain. Guo Lingfeng said, "I think we should break through from the South or North. The devils have laid a very tight defense line in the west of the village. We won't encounter so many enemies if we break through from the South or North!"

With an expression of "you're too young", Li Yunlong said, "I can't say it's OK to go from the South or North, but the soldiers are very tired after a day's battle. Even if we can break through, we have to go around the long way to run into the mountain, which increases a lot of uncontrollable risks! My opinion, let's break through from the West!"

Guo Lingfeng asked, "but the devil has laid a heavy defense in the West. It will be very difficult for us to break through!"

Li Yunlong said with a smile, "how do you know that the devil has laid a heavy defense in the west? You didn't just listen to what I told you! I've just touched the enemy. There are many enemies in the west, but they are puppet troops. I don't need to say more about the combat effectiveness of puppet troops. If we are light enough, there may be surprises!"

Guo Lingfeng's face was full of admiration and said, "OK! Listen to you, we'll break through from the West! But we must not divide our troops. We don't have many people, and our strength will be weaker if we divide our troops again!"

Li Yunlong originally planned to divide the troops. After that, he took the team to block and cover Guo Lingfeng and their retreat. Guo Lingfeng knew this story long ago. Unlike Zhao Gang, he didn't understand military affairs. He certainly didn't want Li Yunlong to take such a big risk to cover them, so he told Wu guanlei and monk Wei his inference.

How good are these two? How can the commander stay and block? It seems that a "mutiny" must be carried out to temporarily deprive him of his command!

The reason for the "mutiny" is also very simple. Li Yunlong is ill at this time and is really not suitable for commanding operations.

Seeing that there was no way to divide the troops, Li Yunlong no longer insisted. Anyway, we didn't deprive him of his military command.

Both sides made a certain compromise, and the officers and men of the independent regiment twisted into a rope again and leaned quietly towards the West.
