In order to save his life, the team leader also fought hard.

When he issued a retreat order, he ran directly to his war horse, climbed up quickly, pulled the reins of the war horse and ran towards the main force behind him.

The Chief of Staff and several officers equipped with war horses did not need the corps leader to remind him. At the same time, he carried the war horses, tied them tightly behind the corps leader, and rushed towards the main force together.

The guards brought by the vanguard squadron and the wing captain were in trouble, and they could only rely on their legs to run towards the main force.

The corps captain rode his war horse and ran two or three hundred meters away. They only ran seven or eighty meters away, and they were still eight or nine hundred meters away from the main force.

After learning from the commander that one or two brigades were destroyed, the corps captain did not lead the main force to the battlefield.

If the battlefield ahead was a game set up by the National Salvation Army for themselves, the troops would rashly kill them and would drill into their pocket formation, and they might repeat the mistakes of one or two brigades.

In order to avoid this accident, the wing captain decisively asked the main force to stand on time and took the guard straight to the vanguard squadron, causing the main force to stop one kilometer behind the vanguard.

The captain of the regiment rode his war horse and ran all the way. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out for hundreds of meters. Although the cavalry commanded by Tao Yongsheng had increased its speed to the extreme, he still had no chance to catch up with him.

The Guards and the Forward Squadron were not so lucky.

After running two or three hundred meters behind the regiment captain, a company of cavalry had already caught up with them.

More than a hundred cavalrymen received an order before setting off: the Japanese they were attacking were not only equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, but also preserved a lot of physical strength. If they rushed hard, the cavalry troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

So after the attack begins, everyone can take advantage of it, they cannot retreat if they can take advantage of it, and they must not face the Japanese light and heavy machine guns.

The more than 300 Japanese riflesmen in front did not carry heavy weapons, and they moved to the main force like a dog. It is definitely much easier to fight them than to fight the main force of the Japanese.

Maybe these more than 300 Japanese devils will become the only result that the cavalry troops can achieve in this raid battle, and they can't let them escape no matter what they say.

"kill……"

After chasing forward for more than a hundred meters, more than one hundred cavalrymen were like wolves, and they collided into the Japanese team without hesitation.

At this time, the corps commander had already brought several officers to join the main force, and the vanguard troops of more than 300 people were at least 500 meters away from the main force.

Although the main force has set up light and heavy machine guns to prepare for the response, the distance between the two sides is too far. Facing the more than 300 soldiers being massacred by cavalry, they are out of reach and have no other solution except to worry.

"kill……"

The remaining cavalry troops rushed to the battlefield one after another. Under the interception of a large number of light and heavy machine guns by the Japanese, only two cavalry companies inserted into the Japanese team from the fire gap. After killing one round and forth, in order to prevent the Japanese reinforcements from blocking the cavalry company on the road, they had to retreat in a hurry and end the battle.

However, the two cavalry companies still caused more than 200 casualties to the Japanese.

In addition to the massacred vanguard squadron and guard squadron, it means that half of the infantry brigade was wiped out as soon as the corps commanded by the corps commander contacted the cavalry unit of the National Salvation Army.

Looking at the cavalry retreating around him and the incomplete corpses on the road, the corps leader looked ashen, clenched his fists, and cursed at the figure that quickly disappeared in the cavalry battalion for a long time before calming down.

"Immediately send a telegram to the Taiyuan Command: The first and two brigades of our reinforcements to Jinzhong County were raided by the cavalry of the National Salvation Army, and the entire army was destroyed!"

"The subsequent reinforcements were also attacked by the cavalry troops of the National Rescue Army, losing half of the brigade."

"The total strength of the reinforcement force has now been reduced to 1,500 people. If reinforcements continue to be made in Jinzhong, they will definitely be raided by the cavalry of the National Saving Army and will eventually be eliminated on the way to reinforce Jinzhong!"

"Weizhi begs the military headquarters to allow reinforcements to retreat and gather more troops before reinforcement of Jinzhong. Otherwise, the remaining force of the reinforcements will become a piece of fat meat in the national rescue army, and eat whatever they want!"

The radio operator was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the National Salvation Army defeated the courage of the regiment captain to reinforce Jinzhong in one assault, but he didn't say much.

He is just a radio operator, and he will do whatever the commander says, and there is no need or right to come up with his own ideas.

The corps leader, no matter what the radio operator thinks, now he just wants to bring more troops back to reduce the losses of the troops.

The corps he commanded had already exhausted two and a half brigades. If the remaining one and a half brigades in his hand were also exhausted, he would become a commander without a single, and would be sent to a military court when he returned to Taiyuan, ending his military career that he had fought for half his life.

He did not want to leave any stains in his military career, nor did he want to be eliminated by the cavalry of the National Rescue Army. On the way to reinforce Jinzhong, he could only retreat immediately.

After learning that the county of Jinzhong might be taken down by the National Salvation Army at any time, the commander who was woken up was not sleepy at all.

Go to the Chief of Staff to see if there are any loopholes in the new combat plan temporarily formulated by the Chief of Staff.

After a while, he walked to the sand table and asked where the combat staff reinforcements had gone.

During this period, I went to the telecommunications room twice and asked if they had contacted the Jinzhong garrison!

"Where are the first reinforcements now? Can they reach the battlefield two hours in advance to rescue the Jinzhong garrison, and cooperate with the Jinzhong garrison to severely damage the national rescue army's siege!" The commander walked to the sand table again and asked.

The combat staff shook their heads: "They are not contacted yet!"

"But from the last telegram they sent, the troops marched very quickly and had been rushing forward for more than an hour within the original marching plan."

"As long as there is no problem with the remaining ten kilometers of marching, they can reach Jinzhong two hours in advance!"

"Now, we must be marching urgently and cannot receive and send telegrams."

The commander nodded, without any doubt on the judgment of the combat staff.

In the past few hours, the Telecommunications Office has not been able to contact reinforcements more than once.

Later, after the radio was turned on, I asked, the troops were marching too fast, and the radio operator could not turn on the computer and send and receive telegrams during the marching.

Because he did not hear the good news he wanted, a disappointed expression flashed on the commander's face. As soon as he was about to leave, the communications officer suddenly broke in from the door with a solemn expression. He knew at a glance that something big happened!

Before the commander could speak, he heard his gasp report: "Sir, the reinforcements are urgently telegrammed, something happened to them on the way to reinforce Jinzhong!"

"The National Salvation Army sent a large number of cavalry troops to block our reinforcements. One, two or two battalions were killed by the cavalry because they advanced lightly and did not carry heavy weapons. They were caught off guard and the entire army was destroyed!"

"The three and four brigades were equipped with heavy weapons. Although they were also raided by the opponent's cavalry, they soon blocked the cavalry's offensive with light and heavy machine guns and defeated the cavalry troops of the rescue army."

"Although the main force was saved, more than 500 people were lost, and only more than 1,500 people were left on standby, and they dared not move forward rashly!"

"The reinforcements urged the military headquarters to issue a retreat order to suspend reinforcements from Jinzhong, otherwise they would sooner or later be swallowed up by the National Rescue Army!"

"When the military headquarters assembles more troops, we will reinforce Jinzhong together!"

"Baga!"

After hearing the report, the commander was angry and punched the sand table. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "What do reinforcements do for food? No matter how powerful the cavalry unit of the National Saving Army is, there are only about one thousand people. The total loss of troops exceeds 2,500, and the total strength is more than twice that of the cavalry. Even if they try to consume, they should kill their opponents. How could they be defeated?"

"A group of stupid pigs fight better than them when they go to the battlefield, which disappoints me so much!"

The Chief of Staff rushed over after hearing the news. Although he knew that the commander was very angry at this moment, he would probably cause trouble when he spoke.

But the situation on the front line is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may have to lose your wife and soldiers.

We have to stand up and remind: "Sir, calm down. There are more than 1,500 reinforcements on the road to stand by. The cavalry of the National Rescue Army must have set their sights on them. The military headquarters must make a decision as soon as possible whether they should withdraw or continue to reinforce, otherwise they may be attacked again at any time, and our losses will be greater!"

"Can't withdraw!" Although the commander was angry, he did not lose his mind. As soon as the Chief of Staff asked, he answered the question without hesitation.

"Although I don't know how the National Salvation Army killed more than 2,000 of us through raids, I know that once the reinforcements move, there will be a lot of loopholes in their defense, and the National Salvation Army's cavalry will have an opportunity to raid them."

"Only when the troops are on standby and establish temporary circular positions based on light and heavy machine guns and artillery, they can use firepower to weave a circle of encirclement to block the cavalry's raid and persist until the subsequent reinforcements meet with them!"

After hearing this, the Chief of Staff looked admirable and complimented: "Sir, wise!"

"I just thought that if the reinforcements continue to fight, there would be no way out, and Ignore the key factor that cavalry is better at fighting sports warfare than infantry!"

"If the military headquarters really agrees to the retreat proposal of the reinforcements, they will definitely be chased by the cavalry of the National Rescue Army, and will be slowly eliminated on the retreat road like cutting off their flesh."

"Fortunately, you are considerate, otherwise the reinforcements would have suffered a great loss."

"I will now arrange for people to call back the reinforcements and ask them to establish a defense line on the spot, and wait until the new troops sent by the military headquarters meet with them before continuing to reinforce Jinzhong!"

After the communications officer left with the telegram, the chief of staff returned to the commander and continued to ask: "Sir, what other troops are we going to send to reinforce Jinzhong!"

"The military headquarters has not yet contacted the Jinzhong garrison. Their situation must be very dangerous. If you want to send troops, the faster the better. If the reinforcements arrive at Jinzhong earlier, we will be able to defend Jinzhong with more confidence!"

"And the troops that reinforce Jinzhong must have the ability to repel the National Rescue Army on the field battlefield, otherwise no matter how many troops we send, they will be a piece of fat on the mouth of the National Rescue Army cavalry."

The commander did not answer immediately, staring at the chief of staff and asked: "How many people can Taiyuan draw to reinforce Jinzhong!"

The Chief of Staff thought and reported: "While ensuring the safety of Taiyuan City, Taiyuan City can also dispatch two infantry brigades, one chariot squadron, one brigade brigade, and two cavalry squadrons!"

The commander stared at the sand table and fell into deep thought. He thought for a full half minute before making a decision: "The county town of Jinzhong is too important and must not be captured by the National Rescue Army again. Even if our reinforcements are too late, the National Rescue Army has already captured Jinzhong. The reinforcements should launch an attack immediately while they are not firm in their foothold and regain Jinzhong back from them!"

"Chief of Staff, in addition to the several troops you just introduced, a infantry brigade and two regiments of the Imperial Army from Taiyuan to reinforce Jinzhong, and at all costs!"

The Chief of Staff subconsciously refuted.

Although Jinzhong is very important, it is not as good as Taiyuan in any aspect, so the Chief of Staff will never agree with this kind of demolition of the east wall and repairing the west wall, and increase the chance of troops defending Jinzhong by reducing the defensive forces of Taiyuan City.

If Taiyuan City is in danger, for the Shanxi garrison, it is undoubtedly picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, which is not worth the loss.

The commander seemed to see the Chief of Staff’s concerns, and decisively raised his hand to stop the Chief of Staff from speaking, watching him continue to order: "The National Saving Army suffered a great loss on the railway line in order to seize weapons, and suffered losses. Now he sent troops to attack Jinzhong. Even with the help of the tunnel, our Jinzhong garrison can cause a large amount of killing and injury to the National Saving Army in the battle!"

"That's how it counts, the remaining national-saviors on the battlefield are no longer capable of posing any threat to Taiyuan!"

"If the National Salvation Army is so arrogant that we don't take our Shanxi garrison seriously and plan to launch an attack while Taiyuan's troops are empty, we are not afraid!"

"Although there are not many garrisons in Taiyuan City, there are still many mobile troops outside Taiyuan City!"

"Although most of the mobile troops went to the Zhengtai Railway, it would be fine if the remaining mobile troops gathered together two infantry brigades."

"When the military headquarters dispatched troops from Taiyuan to reinforce Jinzhong, they immediately sent telegrams to the mobile troops operating around Taiyuan, asking them to march to reinforce Taiyuan!"

"Send another telegram to the aviation force, and immediately send a plane to provide air support to our troops to reinforce Jinzhong and the Jinzhong garrison!"

Chen Zhengyu and Tao Yongsheng have been paying attention to the every move of the Japanese army.

Ten minutes passed, and more than a thousand Japanese devils had no intention of retreating.

Twenty minutes passed, and not only did they not choose to retreat, they dug trenches on both sides of the highway, piled up bunkers with sandbags and stones, and showed a stance to hold on to the end here.

Tao Yongsheng was anxious: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese seem to be trying to defend here and wait for assistance, and there is no intention of retreating at all. How should we fight next?"

Chen Zhengyu's brows also frowned into the Sichuan character. He stared at the Japanese position for another minute and then replied: "They really plan to stay here to wait for help!"

"Relying on light and heavy machine guns, ring construction on the road, even artillery has been set up!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengyu couldn't help but sigh: "Our opponent is very smart and knows that no matter whether we continue to attack or retreat, we cannot escape the pursuit of the cavalry."

"Turning into defense on the spot and defending to the death to aid aid can block the cavalry's offensive and prevent the troops from being massacred by the cavalry again!"

"I guess Taiyuan City will send more troops to reinforce Jinzhong. We must find a way to solve the Japanese in front first, and then we can concentrate our troops against the reinforcements behind."

"If the two Japanese soldiers gather together, our blocking pressure will definitely be very high!"
Chapter completed!
