Yoshio Suzuka, who received the order, suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

In this way, he has six divisions and two brigades in his hands.

In Datong he also has a brigade.

And from Fengzhen to support Datong, there is also a brigade.

In this way, the total strength of his First Army will almost reach seven divisions.

Coupled with tens of thousands of Imperial Cooperative Army, with such a force, it should be no problem to annihilate the opponent's troops.

From the point of view of time, the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division reinforced from Zhangjiakou will take three days.

Originally, it would have taken less than three days to reinforce Datong from Zhangjiakou, but the sudden transfer of the strength of the two divisions required a lot of logistical work.

It will take three days to arrive at the earliest.

The 14th Division and the 20th Division came from Shijiazhuang, because they had to come from the Zhengtai Railway, and then went north after arriving in Yangqu.

So it will take longer.

Under normal circumstances, it takes about seven days to reach the Datong area.

The Honma Brigade from Suiyuan Jining went all the way south along the Pingsui Railway, and the speed was relatively fast, but it also took almost two days.

In this case, Datong will still be very dangerous.

Even, it will be occupied by the other side.

Yoshio Suzuka looked at the map worriedly, thinking about how to adjust his deployment.

According to the telegram of the 15th Brigade Sakata Noyoshi, the opposing troops had already torn a huge hole in the defensive positions on the periphery of Datong, and the troops were approaching Datong in a few hours at most.

Even now, the opposing forces may have begun to launch an attack on Datong.

Datong can't be saved.

Yoshio Suzuka sighed heavily, the 15th Brigade is over.

He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes flashed twice: "Order, the Seventh Division stationed in Ningwu immediately advance to the north and assemble in the area of Shanyin."

Ordered, the 23rd Division stationed in Pingyao immediately went north and deployed its troops in the Pinglu area.

The 48th Brigade was ordered to set up a defensive line on the periphery of Taiyuan to prevent other units of the Eighth Route Army from attacking Taiyuan.

Order the Honma Brigade to enter the area around Toyojin as quickly as possible.

The 5th Division was ordered to advance to Datong immediately after reaching Yanggao and prepare to encircle the opposing troops.

The 9th Division, after arriving at Yangyuan, was ordered to also advance to Datong and prepare for the encirclement.

Ordered the 14th Division: The 20th Division, after arriving in Taiyuan, immediately went north.

The 14th Division was assembled in the vicinity of Shenchi.

The 20th Division assembled in the vicinity of Xinkou. ”

Yoshio Suzuka is ready to use the strength of four divisions and two brigades to encircle this mysterious force.

Four divisions and two brigades, namely the 5th Division, the 7th Division, the 9th Division, the 23rd Division, the Suzuki Brigade, and the Honma Brigade.

In addition, there is a brigade that has now arrived in Fengzhen.

In this way, the total strength of the Japanese army surrounding this mysterious force has reached 110,000.

Although the other side has planes and tanks, it is estimated that their total strength is only about 50,000.

If you calculate it this way, his chances of winning are huge.

In order to prevent the attack of other units of the Eighth Route Army, he also placed the 14th Division in Shenchi and the 20th Division in Xinkou.

The crux of the matter now is whether these troops can reach the predetermined location as quickly as possible.

The news of the increase in troops sent to North China soon reached the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

However, it was not a comrade from the underground party in North China who sent the news, but a person who surprised Li Leidi, Ming Lou.

Isn't he in Shanghai?

How could he know so clearly about the situation of the troops sent to North China?

This is a real master!

Li Lei sighed, there was Minglou, and he felt that the Japanese army was in front of him, so he was completely undressed.

Of course, it sounds disgusting.

The Japanese army does not wear clothes, but there is no island country woman who looks good without clothes.

Alas, I, computer hard drive, I don't know who is cheaper.

According to Minglou's information, this time, in order to eliminate his temporary first regiment, the Japanese army mobilized four divisions and one brigade from other places to cooperate with Yoshio Suzuka's First Army.

Among them, there are two divisions in Zhangjiakou, two divisions in Shijiazhuang, and one brigade in Jining.

This is the latest information, and now these divisions and brigades of the Japanese army should be preparing and will set off soon.

Li Lei had already guessed that the Japanese army would increase its troops, but he didn't expect that the Japanese army would send so many troops in order to deal with him.

It seems that the Japanese army is in a hurry.

The chief attached great importance to this news and asked Li Lei's temporary regiment if it could carry out various defeats on the Japanese troops.

According to the chief's estimate, although the Japanese army dispatched a lot of troops, because of the distance, these troops will not arrive in Datong at the same time.

This provided conditions for their troops to concentrate superior forces and defeat the Japanese army individually.

But the problem is, the time is very short.

The time to annihilate each Japanese unit will not exceed two days.

Annihilated a division of the Japanese army in two days......

This difficulty is not ordinary.

In addition to the temporary first regiment, the troops that can be mobilized by the headquarters are about 100,000 people.

With their current equipment, 100,000 people, two divisions of the Japanese army, is not a big problem.

In this way, the pressure will be shared for the temporary annihilation of the Japanese army.

After analyzing the situation, the chief ordered that the goal of all troops in this campaign was no longer to seize large cities, but to annihilate the living forces of the Japanese army.

If these forces of the Japanese army can be annihilated, then it will be no problem to recover Shanxi.

At the same time, it also provided conditions for the next step for the troops to enter North China.

At present, the total strength of the Japanese army's entire North China Dispatch Army is about 15 divisions and 250,000 troops.

There are also 200,000 imperial allies.

If these six divisions and two brigades of the Japanese army can be annihilated this time, then the entire North China Dispatch Army of the Japanese army will be disabled.

When the time comes, it is entirely possible to sweep through North China.

The chief ordered to send 30,000 men to attack Shenchi, taking advantage of the current emptiness of the Japanese army's strength, and immediately occupy a favorable strategic position.

40,000 men attacked Yanmen Pass to stop the Japanese army from Taiyuan northward reinforcements.

The other 30,000 people are in the general reserve.

Support other troops at any time.

Li Lei's temporary regiment was responsible for annihilating the Japanese troops coming from Zhangjiakou and Jining.

The 5th and 9th Divisions of the Japanese Army, as well as the Honma Brigade, must be annihilated within seven days.

Seven days?

Li Lei, who received the order, twisted his brows and went through the battlefield situation from beginning to end.

Time is of the essence.

Now his temporary regiment can attack Datong with it, but if he wants to destroy the Japanese army there, according to Li Lei's prediction, it will take almost a day.

If you follow the time requirements of the chief, then the time spent in Datong will be too much.

Li Yunlong looked at the map and suggested: "Annihilate two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army within seven days, then we will change our tactics."

I don't think it's advisable to storm the city. ”

Chu Yunfei nodded: "If you want to destroy the living forces of the Japanese army, the best way is, of course, a decisive battle in the field."

If we continue to fight Datong, then when the Japanese soldiers come to the city, we will only be passive.

My suggestion is to abandon Datong, draw troops out, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the field. ”

Li Lei nodded.

Indeed it is.

"Ordered, the first battalion immediately advanced north, quickly entered the south of Fengzhen, and prepared to annihilate the Japanese Honma Brigade from Jining.

Order, the 2nd, 7th, and 8th battalions to advance towards Yanggao at once.

Order the third battalion, get ready, and after joining up with the other three battalions, immediately send troops to the area around Tianzhen, preparing to annihilate the Japanese Fifth Division.

The 4th Battalion was ordered to set up a defensive line in the Yangyuan area to block the 9th Division of the Japanese Army from Zhangjiakou. Be sure to stick to it for two days.

The 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 8th Battalions, after annihilating the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, immediately advanced to Yangyuan and annihilated the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

The 1st Battalion immediately moved south after annihilating the Japanese Honma Brigade at Toyojin. Bypass Datong and join up with other troops at Yanmen Pass.

After the other units of the 1st Regiment annihilated the two divisions of the Japanese army, they sent troops south together. ”

This plan is huge, and Zhao Gang's blood is boiling when he sees it.

Li Yunlong looked at the map and felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

But has the regiment commander forgotten that now in Huairen, there is also a Suzuki brigade.

According to the reconnaissance, the Suzuki brigade is currently rapidly increasing its troops.

This is a brigade of the Japanese army, and it should not be taken lightly.

"Regiment commander, at present, the Suzuki Brigade of the Japanese Army is rapidly increasing troops to Datong, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Datong in one day.

How to deal with this force? Li Yunlong asked.

Li Lei said: "Don't worry about it. Now the Japanese army in Datong has only one brigade left, and after the Suzuki brigade enters Datong, in order to prevent Datong from being attacked, they will definitely set up a large number of defensive lines on the periphery of Datong. There will be no sorties.

In this case, the Suzuki Brigade will be trapped by Datong.

When we have annihilated the rest of the Japanese army, we will be free to kill him again, and it will be no problem at all. ”

The position of Datong is very important, Yoshio Suzuka must be reluctant to let go, now that the Japanese army in Datong is empty, after the Suzuki brigade enters Datong, he will definitely let the Suzuki brigade strictly defend Datong.

Several battalions, having received orders, immediately set off.

On the puppet army positions on the periphery of Datong, it suddenly became quiet.

The commander of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Sakata Noyoshi, was a little confused, why did the other party's troops suddenly retreat?

It's so counterintuitive.

They're about to make a big match!

How could there be a sudden retreat?

Sakata Noyoshi, who didn't know what was going on, immediately sent someone to investigate.

Soon the Japanese scouts reported that there were no other troops in the vicinity of Datong.

It's so weird!

Yoshio Suzuka, who received the news from Yoshichi Sakata, didn't know what was going on.

He looked at the map on the wall and was stunned.

The mysterious army of the other party retreated?

How is this possible?

They're about to lay down Datong!

The Chief of Staff of the First Army, Sakurada, was also a little incomprehensible.

The opposing forces had a huge advantage and suddenly retreated, which was too unusual.
