Taiyuan, Second Theater Command. Flash Dance

Commander-in-chief Yan Laoxi had just had lunch and came to the office early, waiting for the battle report from the front.

Just when he was restless, Zhang Riming, the adjutant of the attendant guard, suddenly rushed in from outside, and almost forgot to salute with excitement, and said, "General seat, total seat!" What a victory, what a victory!"

Seeing him like this, Yan Laoxi's mood instantly improved, and he asked excitedly under pressure: "Don't worry, let's make it clear, where is the good news that the Xinkou side has completely annihilated the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Division?"

"Datong! Datong!"

Zhang Riming was a little incoherent, and after realizing that he was out of shape, he hurriedly took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and then continued: "General seat, I just received a good news from Yang Chen, the head of the guard regiment, from Lijia Town, Datong!" The telegram said that they completely annihilated the 18th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry in Lijia Town, including the Wing Commander Yasuda Kaneto Nakasa, a total of more than 1,500 Japanese cavalry! ”

After Zhang Riming finished speaking, Yan Laoxi finally couldn't help but stand up excitedly, and said with excitement in his eyes: "Riming, you tell me, this is true, I'm not dreaming"

Yan Laoxi really couldn't believe it at the moment, because at this time, the second theater of operations needed a hearty victory to boost the morale of the army and boost morale.

On the Xinkou side, the Second Theater of Operations, regardless of the cost, although it achieved all-round suppression of the Japanese Fifth Division. 35xs

But it was slow to go further and annihilate it completely.

This made Yan Laoxi anxious, and he couldn't sleep well and eat well every day.

Because everyone knows that the 14th Division of the Japanese Army has crossed the Black Tiger Gorge, and then it will arrive at Xinkou at full speed.

If the 5th Division of the Japanese Army could not be completely annihilated before the arrival of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, the 2nd Theater of Operations might be completely annihilated by the Japanese Army.

"Yes, Soza! This message was indeed sent by the Guard Corps. Zhang Riming handed the telegram to Yan Laoxi, gritted his teeth and explained: "After leaving Wutai County, Yang Chen led more than 500 soldiers of the guard regiment as the advance force, galloping all the way to Datong.

This morning, the guard regiment encountered the 18th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry, which had just slaughtered more than 2,000 innocent people in Lijia Town, south of Lijia Town.

So Yang Chen designed and used an ambush battle to slaughter the 18th Wing of the Japanese cavalry! ”

"Damn! These dog-called Oriental miscellaneous crumbs are not even spared by our unarmed ordinary people in China! ”

Yan Laoxi had already read the telegram at a glance, first gritted his teeth and scolded the cruelty of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry, and then his hands couldn't help but tremble and said: "The guard regiment is really worthy of the title of the first regiment in the world!" It is worthy of being the pillar of the country and the pillar of the nation! Yang Chen is really the god of war given to me by God! I knew that Xinkou would never be able to win such a battle!"

As he spoke, Zhang Riming found that Yan Laoxi's eyes were a little cloudy, and his eyes were already teary. Flash Dance

It's no wonder that Yan Laoxi was so excited and emotional, because the victory in this battle was not just as simple as annihilating more than 1,500 Japanese cavalry.

The annihilation of more than 1,500 Japanese cavalry was small, and its strategic role was what made Yan Laoxi the most excited.

Because if Yang Chen hadn't arrived in Datong in time, he would have intercepted this Japanese cavalry and annihilated them all.

Once this Japanese cavalry rushed to Xinkou, it was bound to change the situation of the entire Xinkou.

At that time, let alone the total annihilation of the Japanese Fifth Division, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even hold Xinkou.

And Yang Chen intercepted this devil cavalry, which can be said to have given Xin Kou a new life.

Yan Laoxi put down the telegram in his hand, left the desk with one hand, paced back and forth between the window and the sofa, muttered for a moment, and suddenly turned to Zhang Riming and said, "Riming, how do you say I should reward Yang Chen this time?"

Zhang Riming hurriedly bowed his head, and then said earnestly: "Commander Yang is not a person who pursues fame, otherwise, with his military exploits, let alone the commander of just the first regiment in the world, even if he is promoted to the commander of the first brigade in the world, the commander of the first division in the world, and even the commander of the first army in the world, it will be more than enough!"

Now, what we have to do is to end the battle on the Xinkou side as soon as possible, and then prepare for a decisive battle with the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

Otherwise, now Datong has no moat to defend, even if it is Yang Chen and the guard regiment, I am afraid that they will not have the ability to completely resist the 14th Division.

The general seat, Yang Chen and the guard regiment have already borne too much pressure for our second theater of operations, from the beginning of the recapture of Datong, to the later Black Tiger Gorge to block the strong reinforcements of the Japanese First Army.

Later, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated in the south of Datong, and then rushed to Wutai County to block and completely annihilate the outflanking of the Japanese First Army.

It can be said that my second war zone has been able to hold on to the present, and it is completely due to his Yang Chen's own achievements!

If there is no Yang Chen's birth, I am afraid that ......"

When Zhang Riming said this, Yan Laoxi knew what he meant, and his expression became serious.

Receiving the gaze of Yan Laoxi, Zhang Riming continued, "General seat, we can't let Commander Yang fight alone with the burden of the second war zone, it's not that his ability is not good!"

It's really that he is also a human being, and he will be tired.

What if one day he drains his physical strength and falls down tired?

Therefore, I suggest that we must end the battle on the Xinkou side as soon as possible, both for the sake of my second war zone and for the sake of Commander Yang.

Otherwise, I am afraid that with the temperament of Regiment Commander Yang, he will definitely risk his life and swear to resist the attack of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

As long as Xin Kou ends the battle early, this is the biggest reward for Commander Yang!

In addition, we suggest that we should inform the three armies of this great victory, and at the same time announce the brutality and slaughter of more than 2,000 unarmed civilians in Lijia Town, Datong, by the 18th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry! ”

"Hmm!"

Yan Laoxi nodded heavily, "What you said is very reasonable, then do what you want." ”

……

With the announcement of the good news and the brutality and massacre of more than 2,000 unarmed civilians in Lijia Town, Datong by the 18th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry, the soldiers of Xinkou were filled with grief and indignation, and their morale was greatly boosted.

As Yang Chen said, the reason why these innocent people were brutally slaughtered by the little devils was because of the incompetence of these soldiers.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Second Theater of Operations on the Xinkou side turned their grief and hatred into strength, and they all launched a final encirclement and suppression attack on the remnants of the Japanese Fifth Division.

Under the offensive of the officers and men of the Second Theater at any cost, the scope of activities of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was further reduced.

However, the soldiers of the second theater also paid a heavy price, and the tragedy of the battle was unprecedented.

Wutai County.

No one expected that a Japanese army of several thousand people had quietly marched to the mountainous area in the north of Wutai County, where the Guard Regiment and the First Army had been fighting.
