When gunshots rang out in the canyon, the two young soldiers from the two regiments outside the canyon learned about the situation immediately.

However, when they were about to support the enemies in the canyon, they were blocked by a brigade that had already ambushed them.

Taking advantage of the terrain, the first brigade directly blocked the two regiments of Japs with one brigade of troops.

On the other hand, in the canyon, almost five brigades of troops were used to fight against the three regiments of the Japs.

Judging from the number of people, the strength of both sides in the canyon was about the same. Only the strength of the little Japs on the outside was much higher than that of the first brigade responsible for blocking the attack.

After all, after the last battle, the first brigade currently has less than 3,000 troops, and what about the little devils?

The two regiments of Japs plus the puppet troops stationed nearby totaled nearly 10,000 people. The strength of both sides was already more than three to one.

But even in this situation, the first brigade was still able to block the two regiments. In the final analysis, the intersection in the canyon held a great advantage.

As long as this intersection is defended, no matter how many people there are on the Japs side, there will only be so many people attacking at the same time.

There is no way, why is this intersection so big? The existence of this intersection means that the little devils outside have no choice but to rush in if they want to come in.

As for using tanks to open the road? Sorry, the People's Army has already had two 88mm anti-aircraft guns aimed at this intersection.

As long as you see the Japs tanks coming in, you can shoot them down with one shot, and then you can contact these scrapped tanks to block the intersection.

Making it more difficult to enter the canyon is simply killing two birds with one stone. Regarding this situation, the little devils outside are not fools.

When they saw the trucks in the canyon being blown up by artillery shells, they suddenly understood.

The People's Army must have been very well prepared this time, as can be seen from the power of those artillery shells.

They had been prepared for a long time, so the little devils outside roughly knew about this situation.

The little devils outside also know that they must not send tanks to clear the road, otherwise, if the tanks sent out are destroyed by the People's Army at the intersection.

At that time, it will be even more disadvantageous for them, after all, others may not know the performance of the tanks they brought this time.

But their own people still knew very well that the tanks they brought could not block such a fierce artillery attack from the People's Army.

.............

As the fighting in this canyon became more and more intense, it attracted the attention of almost the entire armed forces in northwestern Shanxi.

"Regiment leader, we have investigated. The gunfire came from the People's Army's defense area, and we reported it according to the informant we installed on the Japs side."

"This time the Japs sent five regiments of troops, plus the puppet troops in the stronghold, the total is almost 20,000."

"The Japs probably want to avenge the People's Army's attack on Anjiang Town last time. In addition, the Japs also dispatched many tanks."

"Currently, the Japs and the People's Army are at war. We don't know the specific situation of the battle."

At this time, in the station of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, a soldier reported the information he had investigated to Chu Yunfei.

As early as the battle started, they heard gunshots here. Who told them that the defense area of ​​​​the Shanxi-Sui Army was bordering the People's Army.

Therefore, when he first heard the gunfire, Chu Yunfei sent someone to arrange an investigation, and finally the previous scene happened.

At this time, Fang Ligong walked to Chu Yunfei's side and said.

"Tuanzuo, this time the Japs are coming in force, with a total of 20,000 troops. They are also equipped with aircraft, tanks and artillery. Judging from the number of people alone."

"The strength of the Japs is much greater than that of the People's Army. This time the People's Army is really in danger. If things go wrong, they may be defeated by the Japs."

Speaking of what happened next, Fang Ligong looked worried. His idea was very simple, that is, the People's Army could not be completely wiped out by the Japs yet.

This is because with the existence of the People's Army, the Japs will focus on the People's Army. Just take the past few months.

Since the rise of the People's Army, almost all the Japs' attention has been on the People's Army, which has made the development of their 358th Regiment very easy.

Without the little devils to target them, their development speed is getting faster and faster, but if the People's Army collapses.

This little devil's attention will turn to the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and by then they will be back to the time when they were restricted everywhere.

"Brother Ligong, I understand your concerns, but the current situation is not something we can change. The little devil has sent five regiments of troops this time."

"If we want to take action, it will be very dangerous. If we anger the little devils, they will send a regiment to encircle and suppress our 358th regiment."
