Yuci City has been the outer barrier of Taiyuan City since ancient times, and it is known as the gateway of the provincial capital and the south gate of Taiyuan! The strategic location was very important, and once it was lost, the southern side of Taiyuan was largely under the control of the attacking side.

Yoshio Shinozuka attached great importance to this southern gate of Taiyuan, and specially stationed an infantry brigade in Yuci, with a total strength of nearly 7,800 people. However, because of the ancient cities around Yuci, Jiaocheng, Dongyang and other cities are also very important. These cities are also the outer barrier of Taiyuan, so the strength of an infantry wing is maintained in Yuci, and the Japanese army of another infantry wing is stationed in Taigu, Dongyang and other cities to respond to Yuci and protect the periphery of Taiyuan City!

When Li Yunlong broke through Yangquan and began to secretly attack Yuci by train. Takei Shinichiro, the commander of the Japanese brigade in Yuci, did not know the news that Yangquan had been lost, and when Li Yunlong's army arrived at a railway station in the direction of Yuci Dongcheng by train, when the new regiment suddenly launched an attack, the old devil knew that Yangquan had actually been broken by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, in Yuci City, the commander of the 205th Brigade, Shinichiro Takei, was on duty at the brigade headquarters at this time, but there was no war around, and the old devil was also bored.

"Your Excellency General, Taiyuan City has called and asked us to strengthen our vigilance, and the new regiment of Li Yunlong's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has now lost its trace! Your Excellency the Commander was very angry on the phone, our men pursued the Sugihara Infantry Brigade in the direction of Huangzhai, and the new regiment had been chased and lost! Your Excellency the Commander seems to be angry now! In Yuci's Japanese brigade headquarters, a Japanese officer came from the side of the headquarters and whispered to the commander of the 205th Brigade, Shinichiro Takei.

Takei Shinichiro frowned at this time, and he didn't agree with Shinozuka Yoshio's order to strengthen the guard. After all, during this time, the Japanese army finally withdrew from the combat operations of encircling and suppressing the armed forces of various China, and rested for a while. At this time, he tossed again, and it was like asking for the life of Shinichiro Takei.

However, although Shinichiro Takei is the head of the Li regiment with the rank of major general, Yoshio Shinozuka is the rank of lieutenant general, which is far higher than his authority. And among the Japanese army, being promoted from lieutenant general to major general requires a lot of military exploits, which is not easy.

"You call back and tell the headquarters, just say that we already know!" Shinichiro Takei said with a wave of his hand.

The one who came to report was Tagawa Kento, chief of staff of the 205th Brigade of the Japanese Army, this old devil was a big soldier, so he said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency General, I understand that I have already made my own decisions and replied to the Taiyuan side!" ”。

Takei Shinichiro was not dissatisfied with Tagawa Kento's unauthorized actions, but even Shinichiro Takei felt that it was a bit of a fuss for Shinozuka Yoshio to contact the commanders of the Japanese troops in the occupied areas of Jin Province several times to strengthen the prevention of the new regiment.

Takei Shinichiro told his doubts to Chief of Staff Tagawa Kento, but Tagawa Kento shook his head solemnly and said: "Your Excellency General, you don't know that in the imperial occupation area north of Taiyuan, the new regiment has continuously broken through the imperial occupation forces in Guangwu, Ningwu, Xinkou and other places, and killed and injured countless imperial soldiers!" In addition, the Imperial Prince Fushimi Palace Toshihiko and Prince Higashikuru Tsukihiko were also ambushed by the new group less than a week apart. His Majesty the Emperor was shocked, and until now, all the units of our First Army have not captured Li Yunlong and annihilated his new regiment. This is enough to show that even His Excellency Commander Shinozuka is afraid of the combat power and cunning of the new regiment! ”。

"Yo Xi, it seems that all the departments of our First Army are really messed up by this person!" Takei Shinichiro nodded and said, for the combat effectiveness of the new regiment, even if he is far away here in Yuci, he also knows, in fact, the cunning and perseverance of the new regiment make Takei Shinichiro, who despises Chinese soldiers, also understand that although there are countless traitors in the big country standing in the Eastern Continent, there are countless soldiers and generals, which should not be underestimated!

"So be it! Immediately give an order, according to the three-level combat level, strengthen the city's defense! By the way, contact Yangquan and Pingding in the east, Da'an and Shouyang City in the north to see if there is anything unusual! Shinichiro Takei waved his hand and said to Tagawa Kento's order.

Tagawa Kendou suddenly said: "Hayi, Your Excellency General! He then turned and left to contact the commanders of the defenders of the cities.

However, soon Tagawa Kento hurriedly returned to Takei Shinichiro with a look on his face and said, "Your Excellency Commander, Da'an, there is no response from the direction of Shouyang. Especially Yangquan, we can't contact Yangquan's Yamato United! ”。

"Nani?" Shinichiro Takei suddenly became solemn and continued: "How is it possible? Even if you can't get in touch by phone, the Yamato United in Yangquan City has a radio in their hands, so it's impossible to be uncontacted! ”。

Although the Japanese army was not equipped with a radio station at the squadron level, they all used field telephones to communicate with each other. However, all Japanese units above the brigade level are equipped with radio stations to facilitate communication between the units. What's more, the Japanese army in Yangquan is stationed in an infantry wing, and it stands to reason that there are at least three radio stations under him, and it is impossible that all three radio stations cannot be contacted at the same time.

If you can't get in touch, then 100%, something happened to Yangquan!

"Your Excellency, General, it is true that we cannot be contacted, and there is no problem with our radio station. But the Yamato United who called Yangquan did not respond! It is impossible that the radio station of the Yamato United is turned off! Tagawa Kento said firmly: At this moment, it is impossible for the radio stations of the Yamato Wing to be turned off, which is not in accordance with the Japanese army's combat regulations.

And now you can't even get in touch with the phone, that's very revealing!

"Immediately send a team, make a train, and rush to Yangquan, Da'an, Shouyang and other places to check the situation! I always felt that something must have happened! Hurry up and drop! "Takei Shinichiro is not calm at this time, Yaga, this can't be uncontactable.

Could it be that all these places were suddenly attacked by the sneak attack of the Chinese army at the same time? Come to think of it, it's really possible!

"Hayi, Your Excellency General!" Tagawa Kento hurriedly paused and immediately got busy at the brigade headquarters.

At this time, just when Takei Shinichiro asked a Japanese staff officer at the brigade headquarters to contact the headquarters in Taiyuan, suddenly a Japanese soldier who was running in a hurry rushed all the way into the 205th Brigade headquarters and rushed to the front of Takei Shinichiro.

As soon as the old devil saw the frightened appearance of this Japanese soldier, he said angrily: "Bagaya Road, didn't you know to shout a report before you came in?" ”。

The Japanese soldiers obviously got some news, and they didn't care about Takei Shinichiro's angry reprimand, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency General, the railway station outside Dongcheng City has been lost!" There are enemy troops dressed in our imperial military uniforms, sneak attack the railway station outside the city of Dongcheng, and now the enemy army has taken advantage of the situation to attack the east gate, and the east gate is in an emergency! ”。

Hearing the report, the Japanese officers at the brigade headquarters were shocked!
