"Nani?"

When Sekihara Matsujiro heard the words Yang Chen and Tiger Bentuan, he immediately showed a look of jealousy, no way, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree.

Now Yang Chen's name as the god of war has long been known to the world.

The 1st Army, the 14th Division, the 5th Division, the 20th Division, and the 11th Brigade of the Garrison Tun, almost all of the imperial elite troops that invaded Shanxi were beaten by him one by one, and they all suffered heavy casualties.

Among them, the 1st Army and the 14th Division were wiped out.

The commander of the 1st Army, Kiyoji Kazuki, became the first lieutenant general of the Imperial Army to be crushed in China.

So far, the Tiger Ben Regiment has not tasted a single defeat, which can be described as a great shame for the Imperial Japanese Army, and even more so for their North China Front Army!

The great murderous fame of Yang Chen and the Tiger Ben Regiment was cast little by little with the corpses of tens of thousands of imperial soldiers.

Therefore, even if Sekihara Matsujiro is arrogant, he has to be cautious at this time.

If the Tiger Regiment only defeated one Imperial Army unit, it could be said to be luck, but if it defeated several elite units of the Great Japanese Imperial Army one after another, it was strength.

When he heard the three words Tiger Bentuan, Sekihara Matsujiro even had a sense of powerlessness that west of Taiyuan, in the Niushou Mountain position, there was no possibility of conquering it.

Although this feeling is only fleeting, it is enough to prove that Sekihara Matsujiro is deeply afraid of the Tiger Ben Tuan in his heart.

In fact, this kind of jealousy is not only the commander of the lieutenant general division of Sekihara Matsujiro, but also all the officers under him.

Otherwise, they would not have just led the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Regiment to rush over, and they would collapse in an instant, and the army would have fallen like a mountain.

In the final analysis, it was because of their jealousy and fear of Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan, which had been seared deep in their hearts.

In their hearts, they are already afraid of this elite Chinese army with a great reputation!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you can be sure that this support army is definitely Yang Chen's Tiger Regiment, because in addition to the Tiger Regiment, there is no individual soldier in China that can surpass the existence of our Imperial Japanese Army!"

At this moment, the commander of the 115th Brigade, Yu Takeshita, also spoke.

Sekihara Matsujiro's face sank, and his sharp gaze swept like a blade, so frightened that Yu Takeshita hurriedly shrank his neck, and subconsciously reached out to cover his left cheek, which was still a little hot.

Fortunately, Sekihara Matsujiro just glanced at it, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Yu Takeshita dared to gasp for air, and his back was already soaked.

The slap just now has left an indelible shadow in his heart.

After retracting his gaze, Sekihara Matsujiro said with a solemn face: "It can also be seen from the previous battle.

After we quickly completed the transition between attack and defense, the cavalry did not continue to pursue our forward position, but gave the order to stop the pursuit in time and decisively retreated to the position.

It can be seen that the commander's tactical literacy and vision of this cavalry are quite good!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do then? The combat effectiveness of the Tiger Regiment was extremely strong, and even the 1st Army and the 14th Division were completely wiped out in their hands!

Now that they are rushing to the aid of Niushou Mountain, we want to take its position again, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy, right? The 116th Brigade, the brigade commander Jiro Tanaka, asked with a bitter face.

"The Tiger Ben Regiment was supposed to be stationed on the Eastern Front, but now it has come to my Western Front to make trouble, he Matsui must give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will not be finished with him!"

Sekihara Matsujiro's face sank, and he continued to shout: "Report our battle situation truthfully to the dispatch army headquarters, and see what His Excellency the commander says."

If His Excellency the Commander can't give me a reasonable explanation this time, then I will report it directly to the Front Command! ”

"Hay!" All the devil officers present bowed their heads and promised.

……

The picture pulls to the headquarters of the Japanese Temporary Dispatch Army in Shanxi.

At this time, Commander Nishio Toshizo was studying military maps and planning the offensive route after the capture of Taiyuan.

That's right, with the continuous good news from the west and north lines, in his eyes, Taiyuan City has already become his bag.

"Your Excellency, 108 is calling." A devil communications staff officer with the rank of Shaozo on his shoulders hurriedly barged in with a telegram.

"What's the situation?"

Nishio Shouzo originally thought it was good news, but when he saw the panicked expression on the face of the visitor, his face became gloomy.

Because he already knew that it was probably not a good thing.

Yes, he directly reached out and snatched the message from Shaozuo's hand.

And after he finished reading it, not only did his face change: "Baga Ya Road!" Isn't the defense area of the Tiger Ben Regiment east of Taiyuan City? How could he appear in Niushou Mountain on the Western Front at this moment? ”

After some roaring, Nishio Shouzo suddenly thought of something, and his face couldn't help but become more and more difficult to look at: "Yaga Ya Road!" This hateful Matsui fate dared to disobey my military orders, and he didn't take the position of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Didn't even attack! ”

"Your Excellency Commander, General Matsui said before that the Imperial Army of the 4th Division was ...... because they were not accustomed to the water and soil."

Before the young man could finish his words, he was sharply interrupted by Nishio Shouzo: "Yaga Ya Road! Give me a quick telegram to the 4th Division and order it to immediately launch an attack on the position of the Tiger Regiment!

If you can capture the position of the Tiger Ben Regiment, it will be fine, if you can't capture it, then the two crimes will be punished together, and Matsui will wait to be sent to a military court! ”

"Haya!"

The devil Shaozo knew that Nishio Shouzo was really angry this time, so he hurriedly bowed his head in response, and then quickly turned around and walked outside.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

Nishio Shouzo looked through the window and looked in the direction where Mingqian Town was, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the sand table in front of him.

The sand inside the sand table shook and splashed in all directions, scattering and falling to the ground.

Including Chief of Staff Suzuki Lead, all the officers of the staff were trembling with fright, as if walking on thin ice.

Because since entering Shanxi, oh no! It was the first time since they entered China that they had seen His Excellency the Commander make such a big fury.

Just when the top of the Japanese Army's Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army and the 108th Division were all facing a great enemy, they were busy deploying troops and preparing to deal with the Tiger Regiment.

Xu Ming, Li Da and others had already led the other more than 2,000 main infantry of the Tiger Ben Regiment in a rapid march that took 5 hours.

Two hours after Yang Chen led his troops to Niushou Mountain, they successfully arrived at the main position of the defenders of Niushou Mountain.

After the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment arrived, Yang Chen immediately arranged for them to seize the time to rest and recover as much as possible.

Subsequently, an emergency pre-war meeting was convened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should know very well that our Eastern Front is facing a division of the Japanese Army, and the pressure is not lighter than that of your Western Front.

Therefore, our department cannot stay in Niushou Mountain for a long time.

The purpose of our visit is not to help you hold your position, but to completely solve the problem of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army once and for all! ”。

After everyone gathered, Yang Chen said after looking around.
