Huozhou, after repairs, the foreign group army took a day to march from Handan to here, and a large number of barracks and fortifications are being built rapidly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This time the Battle of Taiyuan was not fought so quickly, the first is that it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in less than half a month, although there is not so much attention during the war, but Lin Feng does not want to see blood in the New Year's Day.

The second is that it will take time for both China and Japan to dispatch troops, and although Terauchi Shouichi has not yet replied to Lin Feng's telegram about the battle, he has already stepped up his urging for reinforcements, and only the northeast and North Korea have already arrived in North China with more than 200,000 troops reinforced from the mainland, Korea, and Northeast China.

And Lin Feng's side is not just an extraterritorial group army, if it is only an extraterritorial group army, it will be simple, just start a war directly.

The anti-Japanese forces that came to the headquarters of the Huozhou Extraterritorial Group Army were actually mainly two, or belonged to the same theater, the Jin Sui Army and the Eighteenth Group Army, the Eighteenth Group Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National ~ Revolution ~ Order on August 25, 1937, and was reorganized into the Eighteenth Group Army of the National ~ Revolution ~ Order on September 11. Of course, there is also a unit called the Shanxi New Army, which is not large in number at present, nominally belonging to Yan Xishan, but in fact belonging to northern Shaanxi.

This time, Lin Feng's three telegrams shocked the world, and the first one shook the whole country, and Lin Feng's extraterritorial group army swept through the Japanese army in Central China like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and 200,000 devils were either hung up or captured, and only the senior generals of the Japanese army slipped away.

Although the 5th Division was annihilated in cooperation with the Fifth Theater, it was attacked by the Japanese army at night because of the lack of secrecy, which led to the rout of the whole army, and the battle line retreated for more than 100 miles.

The second telegram combined with the first one, it is even more terrifying, you have just suffered a defeat, you don't have a good rest for a few months, lick your wounds, you are so anxious to recover Taiyuan, do you want to break the jar after a defeat? But you're not as good as a devil, the devil knows how to quietly drip into the village, don't shoot a gun, you are shouting all over the world, and the devil is not strictly guarded, how can you fight this?

The most terrible thing is that you are no longer a broken jar, and you are not brain-dead like you, and you are still waiting for Terauchi Shouyi to transfer troops, and you don't need to be like this to find death, it is no secret that the Japanese army has increased its troops, and the increase in troops is more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000. If this is Terauchi Shouichi, plus the original Japanese army in North China, 400,000 Japanese troops will be killed in Shanxi, and the blood will flow like a river!

The third article is to make everyone feel relieved, it turned out that I wanted to pull everyone together, look at the meaning of the telegram, and also send guns and cannons, this has to go, we are short of weapons and ammunition, I have long heard that the commander of this extraterritorial group army, the first-class general of the army, Lin Feng, is a rich man, look at what this telegram says is true!

As a result, Huozhou gathered military and political generals from various anti-war forces currently in Shanxi, including Steward Zhou, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Chief of Staff Ye, Division Chief He, Division Commander Liu, Division Chief Lin, Yan Xishan, Zhu Shouguang, Fu Zuoyi, Wang Jingguo, Chen Changjie, Zhao Chengsui and others.

At this time, the Jin Sui army after the Battle of Taiyuan, the strength of the great loss, although there are nearly 30 divisions in the number, but there are 50,000 or 60,000 troops left after the full battle. The three divisions of the Eighteenth Army were 15,000 men each, for a total of 45,000 men. At present, there are more than 20,000 troops in the Shanxi New Army, and that's all there is to the official number of troops.

At the headquarters of the extraterritorial group army, many generals gathered together, including dozens of major generals of the extraterritorial group army, the 18th group army, and the Jinsui army.

Lin Feng and Steward Zhou, Mr. Zhu, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Shouguang walked into the hall together, and all the generals stood up and saluted.

The highest military ranks here are Lin Feng and Yan Xishan, two first-class generals in the army, Mr. Zhu and Zhu Shouguang, chief of staff of the Second Theater, are still lieutenant generals and generals, and Steward Zhou is a lieutenant general.

The hall is full of lieutenant generals plus generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals, with shining stars and talents, and the commanders of the main group armies, corps-level commanders, and division-level commanders of each department are all listed.

"You may be seated." Lin Feng is considered a landlord today, and he opened his mouth to let everyone sit down.

"Today's meeting is for the second Taiyuan battle, this morning, Terauchi Shouichi sent a clear code telegram, you should also know, this old boy said to promise me about the battle, the time is set in twenty days."

Lin Feng briefly said about Terauchi Shouichi's telegram, and continued: "This period of time is completely enough for Terauchi Shouichi to dispatch troops, if Terauchi Shouichi is ruthless, it is estimated that the Japanese army participating in the Second Battle of Taiyuan will exceed 400,000. ”

"On the other hand, on our side, the current regular strength of the Second Theater is less than 150,000, and our extraterritorial group army is only 100,000, which adds up to half of the Japanese army, I don't know what you think?"

"It's impossible for Shouichi Terauchi to put so many troops in my Shanxi, otherwise the Japanese army in other provinces in North China will be declared lost." Yan Xishan was the first to not believe that Terauchi Shouichi would mobilize so many Japanese troops to Shanxi, at the beginning, the strength of one division of the Japanese army could fight more than 30 divisions of his own fart, if this came 400,000, there would be no need to live.

"I think that Terauchi Shouichi is very likely to mobilize more troops to Shanxi, General Lin's record in the first battle in Central China is too dazzling, and Terauchi Shouichi definitely doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Matsui Ishine and King Hatohiko of Asakamiya."

Mr. Zhu has been wondering if Lin Feng deliberately released water in the Battle of Jinan, and when he saw Lin Feng's extraterritorial group army in Huozhou, Mr. Zhu felt that if he brought such an army, Nishio Shouzao's little force would be wiped out casually, and Terauchi Shouichi's North China Front Army would not take a few days to work, and even the Kwantung Army could be destroyed.

Yan Xishan immediately became anxious, if the Japanese army really came with 400,000 people, he would not even be able to stay in Linfen, and he would only be left to go to the concession to be a fool.

"General Lin, this devil is what you have to do, how to deal with it, do you have a way?"

Lin Feng despised Yan Laoxi, this devil was afraid before he came, no wonder during the Taiyuan Campaign, the troops were superior, the terrain was dominant, and they were defeated in a defensive battle, and this Yan Laoxi was also suitable to be an administrative official.

"Brother Baichuan, don't worry, since I dare to make an appointment with Shouichi in the Battle Temple, I am naturally not afraid of him dispatching troops." Lin Feng can be regarded as taking advantage of Yan Laoxi, Yan Laoxi is in his fifties, so he has to call an uncle anyway.

"General Lin, we are all here at your summons, but what are the assignments?" Steward Zhou's words are punns, and the first meaning is, what about the pistols and cannons? The second meaning is that how to fight must be thoroughly understood.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Steward Zhou, don't worry, Shouyi in the temple will send troops, it is impossible to gather troops in Shanxi before the Spring Festival, and there is still enough time for us to complete what we should do." (To be continued.) )
