Hanaya Masada: "But it's not time to attack now."

"I know." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "If the 9th Brigade and the 2nd Guard Division were allowed to attack at the same time, the best result would be to destroy Chu Yunfei's 358th Jinsui Army Regiment. As for the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, the Chinese Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, they might not join the battle, and we missed the opportunity to get them all in one go."

After saying this, he said to Inoue: "Order the aviation scouts to continue reconnaissance."

"Once you find that the Chinese Central Army or the Eighth Route Army is involved in the battle, report it immediately."

"If there is any sign of defeat and fleeing in the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, it must be reported in time."

"Hayi!" Inoue Yasushi bowed his head heavily, turned around and hurried back to the communications class.

...

In the pig's mouth.

The two small landfills outside the mouth quickly fell, which caught Qian Bojun off guard.

However, Qian Bojun is also a veteran from the ranks of the army and quickly took his guards to the front of the ridge.

With Qian Bojun's personal supervision and the addition of the guard platoon, the front positions were even stronger, and finally blocked the first wave of fierce attacks by the Japanese cavalry.

If the Japanese attack breaks through two lines of defense,

I guess Chu Yunfei would be so angry that he directly ordered the shooting of Qian Bojun, the battalion commander.

Fortunately, this situation did not happen, and the Japanese cavalry were eventually pushed back.

Seeing that the Japanese cavalry had left more than 20 bodies and retreated in an orderly manner, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling glad that they had just waited to escape from death.

At the same time, there is a sense of relief that is indeed so true.

This is the fierce Japanese army they remember.

Qian Bojun sighed: "I haven't fought a serious position war with the Japanese army for almost two years. We almost forgot how we fought a position war with the Japanese army. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, his mother's defensive position would have been gone."

"The main reason is that the terrain here is not good." Zhang Fugui cursed, "What kind of broken terrain is this? The Japanese cavalry can rush directly along the ramp to our defensive positions. How can he guard this? You shouldn't fight with Japanese cavalry in such a ghost place. I really don't know what the regiment was thinking? He actually believed the Eighth Route Army's narration."

"Okay, just say a few less words." Qian Bojun said angrily.

"The terrain of the pig's mouth is not good for defense, but it is already the best terrain."

"If this is changed to another place, this battle will be even more impossible."

"So, this battle should not be fought." Zhang Fugui said with a dark face, "Let us use the strength of a regiment to block a Japanese cavalry brigade. I don't know which idiot came up with the bird's idea?"

Qian Bojun sneered and said, "Who else can be there? It must be the Chairman of the Standing Committee."

"This Chang Kaishen." Zhang Fugui said, "It's so fucking fool."

Qian Bojun sneered: "If he wasn't stupid, would he lose all his capital in Shanghai?"

"Isn't that true?" Zhang Fugui said, "Just just to call the foreigner, I don't hesitate to pay his capital. I really don't know how such a fool climbed to the chairman's position."

Because Chu Yunfei graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he was loyal to Chang Kaishen.

But veterans of the Shanxi Sui Army like Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui had no good feelings for Chang Kaishen. All they remember was the humiliation during the Central Plains War.

So it is hard to mock Chang Kaishen.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army around them were also silly and laughed at them.

However, by mocking Chang Kaishen, he could not beat the Japanese cavalry outside the pig's mouth.

Qian Bojun had realized that the next wave of attacks of the Japanese cavalry would be even more fierce, so he decisively ordered the machine cannon company to be transferred to the front position to strengthen defense.

The 1st Battalion's machine gun company has 4 civilian-type 24 heavy machine guns and 4 82 mortars.

However, in the first wave of attacks by the Japanese army just now, two civil-type 24 heavy machine guns were lost, so now there are only two civil-type 24 heavy machine guns left in the machine gun company.

Fortunately, there are 4 82mm mortars.

After swaying the 2-heavy machine gun on the edge of the ridge, and then 4 82mm mortars behind the ridge, Qian Bojun felt much more at ease in an instant.

After all, the 4th Japanese cavalry brigade outside the mouth did not carry cavalry artillery.

Therefore, in terms of supporting firepower, their 1st Battalion could steadily suppress the Japanese army.

However, Qian Bojun soon discovered that his idea was a bit too naive.

Because after the Japanese cavalry failed to attack tentatively, they directly gave up attacking from the front of the ridge, and instead directly sent two cavalry squadrons to encircle from the left and right wings.

Because the ridges on both sides of the pig's mouth extend out dozens of kilometers long.

Although most of the ridges are higher and steeper, you can always find a gentle place when you go out.

Looking at the hundreds of Japanese cavalrymen who were speeding down the slope of the ridge toward their wings, Qian Bojun looked helpless.

For five years, Japan has been going on with this move over and over again. Once the frontal attack is blocked, it will immediately deviate from both wings. Now that the frontal attack is blocked, it will start to encircle the two wings again.

Fortunately, their first battalion was not completely prepared, and they also repaired fortifications on the earthen platform.

Even if the Japanese cavalry on both wings find a gentle place to go to the earth platform and then encircle them from the two wings, their first battalion is not afraid. As long as the Japanese army does not have artillery support firepower, this battle will be fought.

After all, the light weapons of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army were not weaker than that of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the situation on the side of the pig-killing mouth was temporarily in a stalemate.

...

Taiyuan, 1st Army Command.

The Aviation Scout has sent the latest news back to Taiyuan.

"Have the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the 94th Brigade of the Chinese Central Army not appeared yet?" Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned, which was a little beyond his expectations.

At this time, Takaichi Sakamoto said: "Commander, I have something I don't know if I should say?"

"Oh, it turns out it's Sakamoto-kun." Yoshio Iwamatsu had heard of Sakamoto's daimyo for a long time and knew that it was a sarcastic tongue. It is said that his ex, Yoshio Shinozuka, was almost angry with him.

At that moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio said again: "What do you want to say?"

Takaichi Sakamoto said: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army of the Chinese Nam will not come."

"I won't come?" Hanaya asked with a frown, "Sakamoto, are you so sure?"

"Yes, I'm so sure." Sakamoto Takaichi said, "Because even idiots can tell that the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Sui Army could not stop the 4th Cavalry Brigade going south."

"Forcibly intercepted can only be a waste of death."

"The commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Chinese Army are not idiots."

"So, they will never be able to come over and die by themselves."

"So, why did the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army come to kill the pig's mouth?" Hua Gu said, "How do you explain this?"

"The problem is here." Sakamoto Takaichi, "I suspect this is a trap. The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is just a bait. The purpose is probably to lure the 4th Brigade of the Cavalry to take the bait."

"Although, I can't guess what Chu Yunfei's backup plan is."

"But I suggest that the Commander provide a suggestion to the 4th Cavalry Brigade."

"Once the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army evacuated the pig-killing mouth, they would better not pursue it."

"After all, the first task of the 4th Cavalry Brigade is to go south to participate in the southern Henan battle, rather than assisting our 1st Army in the northwest of Shanxi to wipe out the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi Sui Army and the Central Army in China."

"Train?" Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanaya looked at each other.

The two of them really didn't consider this.
