Taiyuan, Second Theater Command.

Commander Yan Laoxi had just had breakfast and came to the office early, waiting for the battle report from the front.

Because the guard regiment rushed to Datong in time to resist the attack of the 14th Division of the Japanese army, Yan Laoxi's mood was much more relaxed than yesterday.

The gloom on his face disappeared, and a trace of confidence and calmness resurfaced.

And I still have the heart to taste tea.

He was holding up a teacup and had just picked up the lid with his right hand.

Zhang Riming, the adjutant of the attendant guard, suddenly rushed in from the outside, and before he even had time to shake off the snowflakes on his head and shoulders, he saluted excitedly, "General seat!" Good news! Good news! ”

When Yan Laoxi saw Zhang Riming's hurried appearance, he thought that something unexpected had happened, and he couldn't help frowning.

And when he listened to Zhang Riming's words, his face was suddenly overjoyed, and he asked urgently, "Where is the good news?" Is it that the Xinkou side has completely annihilated the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Division? ”

Yan Laoxi was most concerned about the battle situation in Xinkou this time, and the second theater of operations had almost suppressed all the troops.

Although the headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army had been besieged for many days, it was unable to go further and annihilate all of them.

On the contrary, because of the fierce battles for several days, the second theater lost troops and lost its strength.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi was almost heartbroken by the Xinkou war.

It's just that when he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the situation was not right, so he said, don't say that there is good news, as long as there is no longer a telegram for help, he is Amitabha Buddha thankful. 35xs

So he hurriedly changed his words: "But the good news from Datong? ”

"The chief seat is wise! It is the good news from the Datong side that comes from the guard regiment!

Commander Yang led more than 500 warriors of the guard regiment to annihilate the second infantry wing of the 27th Brigade of the Japanese army at Zhaojiaji last night.

Then, early this morning, in the ambush battle of Xiaocang Mountain, more than 4,500 devils of the enemy's 27th Brigade were annihilated.

Among them are also the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Brigade Commander Kanyu, Chief of Staff Konosuke Mori, and the 27th Brigade and Commander of the 59th Infantry Wing, Ichiyoshi Itanishi!

In the two battles, the guard regiment killed more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers, and all the senior officers of the entire 27th Brigade were killed! Even the head of the old devil in the hall was chopped off by Head Yang!

Coupled with the 18th Cavalry Wing annihilated yesterday, in less than two days, Commander Yang's headquarters has annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies! ”

Zhang Riming became more and more excited the more he spoke, and in the end, the spit stars almost splashed on Yan Laoxi's face.

However, Yan Laoxi didn't care at all, and after Zhang Riming finished speaking, he continued excitedly, "The guard regiment really lives up to the title of the first regiment in the world!" Yang Chen is also worthy of being the head of the first regiment in the world!

With Yang Chen here, why worry about not being able to wipe out all the Japanese invaders! ”

Just after speaking, Yan Laoxi immediately became worried again, frowned and said, "Riming, how do you think I should reward Yang Chen and the guard group?" ”

"Commander Yang once again affirmed that there is no need for commendation, he only hopes that you can treat the military family members well and not let the soldiers shed blood and tears!"

Zhang Riming immediately responded. Flash Dance

Yan Laoxi was deeply impressed by Yang Chen's righteousness, and said solemnly, "Pass my order, my second war zone, and the military family will be exempted from half of the tax!"

Anyone who insults military dependents will be punished as treason! ”

"The head seat is wise!"

"In addition, this great victory will be telegraphed to the three armies, and at the same time, let them see how our guard regiment fights!"

"Yes!"

……

Datong.

Temporary Garrison Headquarters of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Yaga! Waste, a bunch of useless waste! ”

After receiving the news that the 27th Brigade under his command was almost wiped out, the division commander Kenji Dohihara was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

In a fit of rage, he slammed his hands and knocked the conference table in front of him to the ground.

It seemed that he was still angry, and under the annoyance and anger, Kenji Dohihara roared angrily, "Yang Chen! The 2nd Theater Guard Regiment, yes! That's great! ”

Saying this, Kenji Dohihara suddenly turned his head to look at the chief of staff, Sano Tadayoshi, and shouted, "Pass my order, the whole army will set off, and you must arrive at Zhao Jiaji as quickly as possible, if the road is not completely dredged, then go over the mountains and mountains!"

I want to see how powerful this hateful Yang Chen is! ”

Kenji Dohihara has been completely enraged by Yang Chen, and even lost his mind a little, and now he has only one inner thought, that is, to kill Yang Chen alive and annihilate the Second Theater Guard Regiment!

"Haya!"

Tadayoshi Sano had never seen the division commander Kenji Dohihara so angry, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and after a pause in response, he turned around and left the headquarters to convey the military order.

……

Within a few days, Major General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front and chief of staff of the First Army, had successfully escaped to a safe position, and had collected information through the intelligence department that the 27th Brigade had been wiped out.

He didn't feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but faintly, but felt a little happy.

Because the more the 14th Division lost, the more it showed the strength of the 2nd Theater Guard Regiment.

In this way, after the comparison, the First Army will be wiped out, and his guilt will be much reduced.

……

Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.

Although Kenji Dohihara did not report the military situation that the entire 27th Brigade was wiped out, Commander Terauchi Shouichi still received this military information through the intelligence department as soon as possible.

At the moment, I couldn't help but be furious, not only because of the combat effectiveness of the 27th Brigade, but also because of Kenji Dohihara's concealment and refusal to report.

The deputy chief of staff, that is, the deputy chief of staff, Major General Shozo Kawabe saw that Terauchi Shouichi was angry, so he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Commander, but all of us in the Imperial Japanese Army have their own arrogance, and the reason why General Enkenji Dohi temporarily concealed it and did not report it must be that he wanted to wait for the total annihilation of the Chinese Second Theater Guard Regiment, and then report it together with the good news!" ”

After a pause, Kawabe Shozo continued: "If the First Army is defeated at the hands of the Guard Regiment, we can still think that the First Army is careless and underestimates the enemy, resulting in ineffective combat.

But with the precedent of the First Army, the 14th Division still fought a defeated battle, and even the 27th Brigade was completely wiped out.

It seems that we have to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Second Theater Guard Regiment.

According to the current situation, the 14th Division wants to annihilate it completely, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy.

Even if one is not good, there is a possibility of defeat again!

Especially now that the 27th Brigade has been wiped out, General Tohi Enkenji must be in a state of extreme rage.

And once people are angry, they are easy to show flaws.

Therefore, I suggest that for the sake of insurance, you need to remind General Kenji Dohihara not to be angry!

It is good to be able to completely annihilate China's Second Theater Guard Regiment, but if not, it is also possible to contain it in Datong.

After all, we still have the 11th Brigade of the garrison! ”
