At the same time, the 5th Brigade faced the dilemma of being attacked by the security regiment. It can be said that the 5th Brigade will undoubtedly lose.
However, Li Hong not only wanted to defeat the 5th Brigade, but his purpose was to completely annihilate all the enemies of this brigade.
It is not an easy task to wipe out the Kimura brigade.
Li Hong had estimated the combat effectiveness and number of combatants of the 5th Brigade. The Guizi Wing and the command center of the brigade were still there, and the enemy still had at least 1500 combat soldiers.
These more than 1500 little devils are not weak in combat, and the devils also have a lot of grenades and mortars.
With the current enemy's combat power, if Li Hong ordered the troops to charge up the front line, the casualties would be much higher. If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Li Hong will definitely not fight such a battle.
Another point is that the little devil commanders are not all stupid pigs. Knowing that the troops are in a desperate situation, they will never sit still and will definitely break through.
Li Hong lit a cigarette, stared at the terrain on the map carefully, and took an empathy in his mind.
If he is the commander of the devil, and there is no retreat before and after the enemy, then where will the enemy choose as a breakthrough to break through?
Li Hong's brain started to run quickly, and after a second thought, suddenly, he hurried out of the headquarters with a telescope.
He raised his binoculars and cast his sights on a barren hill on the flank.
The barren ridge is bare, without any trees or plants. More importantly, there is a smooth mountain road on the back of the ridge.
As long as the little devil commander is not a stupid pig, he will definitely break out from the barren hills, and finally escape from the mountain road.
Wanting to understand this, Li Hong called for the communication soldiers.
"Communications, order the ministries to suspend the attack, and the artillery to continue the shelling. The fourth battalion and the fifth battalion each draw two companies out, and equip more machine guns!"
"Yes, group seat!"
The signal soldier got the order and returned to the command post.
As soon as the order was conveyed, the battalions of the security regiment suspended the attack, the officers and soldiers hid in the bunker fortifications, and the artillery began to cover with artillery fire.
After less than 10 minutes, the officers and soldiers of the four companies that were transferred were assembled.
These four companies have a complete organizational system, with nearly 500 people.
Li Hong didn't say much, and immediately led his troops to seize the mountain two kilometers away.
He asked the troops to suspend the attack because he didn't want to push the enemy into a hurry, and dogs would bite people when they were in a hurry.
What's more, the little devil still has more than 1500 people. If you really want to drive the little devil completely crazy, the fighting power of the enemy will be terrifying.
As soon as the troops stop charging, they can successfully lead the little devil's troops to the other side of the mountain.
There is no shelter on the mountain, as long as the security team seizes the commanding heights, shooting the enemy from above is like a live target.
Li Hong thought in advance where the enemy would break out from, and the devil's commanders immediately thought of breaking out from the mountain.
Soon, Kazuo Kimura ordered the troops to shrink their forces, and all the devils in each squadron could withdraw from the battle.
Kazuo Kimura regrouped nearly 1000 elite soldiers, ready to break out from the mountains.
"General, the offensive of the security regiment's various departments seems to have weakened." The devil's staff officer said next to him.
"The security team's offensive has become weaker, which is just convenient for our troops to break through." Kazuo Kimura didn't think too much, and felt a little lucky in his heart.
The devil's staff frowned and thought for a while, then reminded Kazuo Kimura, "General, Li Hong has always been scheming and timid. He is not the fighting style of the security team at all. Could it be that Li Hong has some conspiracy?"
"In this case, besides breaking through, is there any way out for our 5th Brigade?"
After Kazuo Kimura finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the troops to move towards the mountains to break through.

Chapter 364 One Step Ahead
Kazuo Kimura left hundreds of devils in the position to contain the security team, and the rest of the devil soldiers followed him to break through the mountains.
"Imperial soldiers, attack the mountains ahead!"
Under the order of Kazuo Kimura, nearly a thousand little devils ran towards the mountains against the surrounding artillery fire.
In order to be able to break through the siege, the little devil didn't fear the shells exploding around him at all, and didn't care about any casualties at all, but just moved quickly towards the mountains with a brain.
During the operation, the little devil was killed by shells and injured more than 100 people.
Now it's too late for the little devil to escape, so there is no need to care about the wounded. The wounded devil soldier can only be abandoned by his companions and fend for himself.
These little devils who broke through, although they all have short legs, they run quite fast.
In less than 10 minutes, Kazuo Kimura ran down the mountain with the devil soldiers.
The mountain is only [-] meters high, the slope is not too steep, and the terrain is relatively flat. It is very easy for the devil field troops to climb over the mountain in front of them.
"Imperial soldiers, over this mountain, we can break through, hurry up!"
When the devil soldiers heard that they could escape by climbing over the mountain, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. One by one, the little devils took up weapons and climbed up the mountain desperately.
The little devils have all undergone rigorous military training, and their physical strength and endurance are good. Crossing mountains and ridges and marching on foot for a long time can be said to be the best of the devils' field troops.
The mountain was densely populated with figures of little devils climbing, and not long after, the fast-moving little devil had already climbed to the mountainside.
The enemy used all his strength to crawl upwards with both hands and feet.
According to the climbing speed of the little devil, they will be able to climb to the top of the mountain in at most 10 minutes.
If the little devil was allowed to climb to the top of the mountain first, then once the enemy occupied the commanding heights, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment would be in a very passive position, completely under the firepower of the little devil.
Of course, Li Hong had the foresight and thought ahead of time that the enemy would break out from the mountains.
Furthermore, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment are also well-trained, and the individual qualities of the soldiers are higher than those of the devils. Originally, the security regiment has been fighting in various mountainous terrains in Shanxi, and it is even better at all kinds of mountain warfare.
Mentally, Li Hong thought a step earlier than the devil commander. The most important point is that Chinese soldiers have longer legs than devils, so the enemy's movement speed is naturally slower.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the little devil to climb to the top before the soldiers of the security regiment.
Just as the little devil was climbing desperately to the top of the mountain, and was about to reach the top, at the same time, Li Hong led the officers and soldiers of the security regiment to the top one step ahead of the enemy.
Li Hong's hearing was different from that of ordinary people, and he could vaguely hear the sound of little devils crawling down the mountain, as well as the yelling of orders.
"Brothers, hurry up, grab a favorable position, the little devil is coming up soon!"
Li Hong ordered loudly, and the soldiers of the security regiment opened the safety and trigger of the guns in their hands one after another.
