"Yaga! Li Yunlong's harm is too great! How many Imperial warriors are stationed in Yanggao? Miyano-kun! Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, holding back his anger, and said to Taro Miyano.

Miyano Taro was relieved to see that Yoshio Shinozuka finally didn't lose his temper in the headquarters, and immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander, the imperial forces stationed in Yanggao have only one infantry unit, but recently there are local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army near Tianzhen, attacking the imperial forces in Tianzhen, so a squadron of troops has been transferred east to Tianzhen. Therefore, at present, there is only less than one infantry brigade in Yanggao City, about 800 people, and in addition, there is also a battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army, with a total strength of about 1,200 people! Your Excellency, Commander! ”。

"Summing up the information obtained so far, after the sneak attack on Huairen City, the main force of this new regiment under the personal command of Li Yunlong has nearly 1,000 people. Moreover, they are all strong fighting Chinese troops! The force is not weak! Immediately send a report to the commander of Yanggao, and pay attention to strictly guarding Yanggao. Immediately order the commander of the 10th Division in Datong City to send a wing of troops to reinforce Yanggao, and it is best to be able to entangle the main force of Li Yunlong! Yoshio Shinozuka immediately waved his hand and commanded Taro Miyano.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander! Your Excellency, Commander, will we continue our attack on Hengshan? At present, the Jin Sui army in the southwest has already shown signs of sending troops, Pingyao, Fenyang and other places, there are Jin Sui troops attacking our important towns, and the defenders in the south urgently need to request reinforcements! Taro Miyano hesitated for a moment, but still said to Yoshio Shinozuka's latest report on the situation in various parts of Jin Province.

Yoshio Shinozuka got up and went to the huge map placed by the headquarters with Taro Miyano and looked at it.

In fact, for Yoshio Shinozuka, dispatching the Fifth Route Japanese Army Wing to encircle and suppress a small new regiment of the Shina Army has already caused 10,000 or 20,000 Japanese troops to be transferred. It is bound to be impossible for such a large-scale troop transfer to be completely concealed.

Yan Laoxi, who retreated to the southwest of Jin, was bound to see the opportunity to send troops, and at this time, the territory of Jin Province occupied by the Japanese army in the south was attacked, and Yoshio Shinozuka had foreseen it. It's just that I didn't expect that the Jin Sui army would send at least five divisions to attack the north, but the defenders of the towns occupied by the Japanese army were caught off guard, and several towns had been recovered by the Jin Sui army.

At this time, if you continue to attack the remnants of the new regiment of Hengshan, Miyano Taro's meaning, Shinozuka Yoshio is still clear.

"Forget it! Order the commander of the 27th Wing to consolidate the recaptured Guangling City, Lingqiu County and other places, and there is no need to encircle and suppress the remnants of the new regiment in the depths of Hengshan for the time being! Let's wait until the attack of the Jin Sui army in the south is stabilized! Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said solemnly.

Taro Miyano said, "Hayi, Your Excellency the Commander! Humble duty understands! ”。

The Japanese country is an island country resource, although the army was strong before the war, but once a large amount of territory of the Celestial Empire was captured, the powerful force group of the Japanese army was suddenly like a bean, scattering troops to garrison key cities in various places.

For example, although Yoshio Shinozuka had a huge strength of more than 100,000 Japanese troops in various units of the Japanese First Army, including the 10th Division, after the Japanese First Army occupied the northern part of Jin Province and other places, the Japanese troops stationed in Datong seriously dispersed the strength of the Japanese First Army.

Therefore, as soon as the Jin Sui army began to fight, Miyano Taro and Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly felt the lack of troops. At this time, it is better to stabilize the existing troops, and when the time is right, continue to carry out in-depth encirclement and suppression of Hengshan.

However, what Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know was that at this time, although he issued an order to order the commander of the Japanese garrison in Yanggao to defend Yanggao, at this time, Li Yunlong had already led his troops out of Baishan Mountain and arrived less than a kilometer away from Yanggao.

At this time, Sajiro Shigeto, the captain of the Japanese garrison in Yanggao, received an order from Taro Miyano himself.

"Yo Xi, haha, there is finally a battle to fight! Gao Shan-kun, look at it, this is a telegram from the commander. At this time, in Yanggao Castle, in the headquarters of the Japanese Shigeto Brigade, Shigeto Sajiro took the telegram he received, laughed and said to Takayama Hirano, the chief of staff of his brigade.

Takayama Hirano took the telegram handed over by Sajiro Shigeto and looked at it, and immediately said solemnly: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, Li Yunlong is so arrogant and provoking our First Army, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" Recently, however, the various units under the jurisdiction of our First Army have lost quite a few troops. The troops led by Li Yunlong should not be underestimated! Your Excellency! ’。

Sajiro Shigeto nodded and said, "Yo Xi, that's good!" Being able to annihilate Jiro Abe's two wings and kill His Excellency Yamamoto Kazuki Daisa, it can be seen that the new regiment is not a weak Shina Army unit! Of course, I won't underestimate Li Yunlong! Pass my orders, and all units will immediately be put on wartime alert! Close the gates! In addition, immediately send all the Imperial Allied troops to garrison the defensive positions outside the city! Without my orders, anyone who dares to retreat into the city will be shot on the spot! ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo! Humble duty understood! Ha ha! Takayama Hirano laughed and said, the role of the Imperial Allied Army is actually cannon fodder.

However, at this time, a Japanese soldier rushed in from outside the door, feeling a little embarrassed and panicked.

This made Sajiro Shigeto, who had always been proud, angry: "Yaga, what are you panicking about? What's the matter? ’。

The Japanese soldiers immediately stood up and reported: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the big thing is not good! A kilometer outside the city, a branch of the Chinese army appeared, as many as more than a thousand people, and most importantly, the troops of this Chinese army were no less armed than ours! Moreover, we also saw ten Type 92 infantry guns! ”。

"Nani? Could it be that Li Yunlong is here? Sajiro Shigeto immediately realized that it was likely that the troops of the new regiment of the Shina Army, which had been making a lot of noise recently, had arrived.

And this army has eaten a lot of the imperial army, although the infantry brigade under Shigeto Sajiro is not weak, but at the moment his Japanese army strength in Yanggao is actually only more than 800 people, of course, the strength of more than 400 people in a battalion of the puppet army, used as cannon fodder, is almost negligible.

Therefore, Sajiro Shigeto is not calm.

"Bagaya Road, order the Imperial Alliance Army, immediately send troops to defend the trench position around the city outside the city according to the deployment in wartime. In addition, order all units of the brigade to strictly guard the city walls and defend the city walls! There were not many troops, and Shigeto Sajiro could only order his Japanese troops to hold the city walls, and the rest of the puppet army went out of the city to defend the trenches around the city.

The chief of staff of the brigade on the side, Takayama Hirano, suddenly stood up and said: "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Go for it now! ”。
