When the 1st Cavalry Brigade advanced southward, in order to seize the opportunity of Yiwu to cut off the retreat of the Chinese army, the march was extremely fast, so the troops of both sides were wrapped together, with the Chinese army in front, the Japanese army in the middle, and the national army behind!

Of course, the Chinese and Japanese armies took their own paths, the Japanese army took the middle road, and the National Army took the small roads on both sides, without interfering with each other.

If everything develops as expected by the Japanese army, there is no problem. Except for the national army in front that cannot be blocked, the national army behind will be intercepted by the Japanese army.

But now something unexpected happens, when the Japanese army wants to retreat, the situation becomes troublesome.

The part of the national army, which was originally left behind by the Japanese army, immediately became a roadblock, blocking the Japanese army's retreat to the north, and the Japanese army was immediately trapped in the enemy from both sides.

At the beginning, the five regiment captains of Beidian Er were still lucky and thought that perhaps the Chinese army coming from the north, northeast and northwest were just ordering to retreat, not to block the road.

But after a quarter of an hour, this mentality of luck was shattered by the cruel reality.

The Chinese army rushed over from the north, northeast and northwest directions, just to intercept their retreat, and to cooperate with the national army in the south to encircle them on all sides.

Several small-scale tentative attacks were shattered, and Bei Dian Er, who temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief, immediately gave up and ordered to stay on the spot to wait for assistance.

Until now, there is no other way, so I can only stand still and wait for rescue.

But unfortunately, the time left for them is really limited.

The Japanese army had not even had time to dig the trenches, and countless national troops had already flocked to it.

...

Xiaoshan County, the division headquarters of the Guard Division.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for the Guards Division.

Although it was already past three o'clock in the morning, both Chief of Staff Aoki Kinoshita and Yoshiro Iida, both were sleepless and stared in the war room.

Although he was confident in the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Yoshijiro Iida was still nervous.

The reason is very simple, because before the final result comes out, any unexpected situation may occur. As long as a slight accident occurs in the middle, the result will be rewritten.

Seeing that the hour hand was already pointing at four o'clock in the morning, Kinoshita Yuki stepped forward and advised, "Teacher Commander, why don't you go and rest? Just have a sting here to stare at it."

"It's okay." Iida Yoshijiro waved his hand and said, "I'm not sleepy."

"Hayi." Kinoshita Yuki paused his head slightly, then stopped persuading each other, and instead said, "Teacher Commander, calculate the time, the pursuit troops of the southern brigade should have almost seized the Yiwu County."

Iida Xiangjiro nodded lightly and said, "It should be soon."

At this moment, a communications officer hurried in and reported: "The division commander, the southern brigade lost contact!"

"Nani? The Southern Brigade lost contact?" Kinoshita's face changed and he said in a deep voice, "Then call it a few more times!"

"Chief of Staff, we have called more than ten times, but there is still no response." The communications officer said with a bitter face.

"Bagayaru, has something happened?" Iida Xiangjiro's face turned dark in an instant when he heard this.

"Second Commander." Kinoshita Aoshita advised, "Maybe it was a mechanical failure, or maybe it was the southern brigade moving forward, so there was no signal from the division headquarters."

"Impossible." Yoshiro Iida said flatly, "The brigade headquarters of the Southern Brigade did not say that it would move forward, so how could it be suddenly moved forward? As for mechanical failure, the brigade headquarters of the Southern Brigade has more than one military radio station. Could it be that all the radio stations will fail by chance? Something must have happened!"

After all, Yoshijiro Iida did not completely lose his judgment.

Kinoshita Yuki no longer said anything, and he also knew that something must have happened to the Southern Brigade.

Yoshijiro Iida said again: "Across the southern brigade, call the pursuit troops directly!"

"Hayi!" The communications consultant paused and turned around.

After a while, the communications consultant hurried back to the war room.

"The division commander, the pursuit troops are in contact." The correspondent said, "They were ambushed by the Chinese army on the pursuit road and had to stop the pursuit. They are now standing guard near Dachen Town waiting for rescue!"

After pausing, the communications consultant said again: "And, the situation is not good!"

"Standing to wait for help? The situation is not good?" The faces of Iida Shojiro and Kinoshita Aoshita collapsed instantly.

How could this happen? This situation is far from what they expected before the war, and it shouldn't be.

...

Almost at the same time, the General Office of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone in Jinhua.

Zhong Yi threw the pencil in his hand onto the map and said with a smile: "Master, the southern brigade is over!"

Although it was already past three o'clock in the morning, Yu Liangzhen, Tao Guang, Xuan Tiewu and other senior generals in the war zone had not yet rested and were still stuck in the war room.

Hearing Zhong Yi's words, Yu Liangzhen and others were immediately excited.

Yu Liangzhen was still a little unbelievable and asked in a low voice: "Zi Ren, is the Southern Brigade really finished?"

"It's really over." Zhong Yi said, "Even if the Guards Division crosses the brigade headquarters and establishes communication with the Japanese on the front line, it will not be able to save the Japanese trapped in Dachen Town."

Tao Guang didn't believe it: "Zi Ren, is it a bit too early to draw a conclusion now?"

Peng Songling also said: "Yes, the Japanese trapped in Dachen Town have three cavalry corpses, plus a cavalry artillery corps and an anti-aircraft artillery corps. The firepower is extremely cruel!"

Xuan Tiewu also said, "We have suffered a great loss in Tongshan Town."

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "The cavalry artillery gang needs distance to play a role. The Japanese cannot bayonet the cannon. As for the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery gang, the lethality is high, but the firepower continuity is actually far inferior to that of the crooked handle. Once our attacking troops approach the front line, the role they can play is limited."

Yu Liangzhen frowned and asked, "So do you think the battle can end before noon?"

He paused and said, "If the battle cannot be over before noon, once the Japanese aviation troops arrived, we will fall into a hard battle again, and the casualties of each attacking force will increase greatly."

"Noon?" Zhong Yi laughed and said, "The chief officer is so scary."

After a pause, Zhong Yi said confidently: "The battle can be ended before dawn!"

"What, can the battle end before dawn?" Yu Liangzhen and others were incredible.

"No, I have to take a look for a while, I'm so sleepy." After Zhong Yi said that, he left everyone, turned around and walked out, and soon disappeared outside the door.

"this……"

Xuan Tiege and others looked at each other.

After a while, Xuan Tiewu said, "This guy."
