"Report to the group, there is no movement on the side of the devil's army!

After running out for more than ten miles and finding that our army was not pursuing, he set up camp again and stopped. ”

Yang Chen was directing the brothers of the Tiger Regiment to clean up the battlefield and help the doctors and nurses in the field hospital rescue the wounded, when he heard the report of the rake ear, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"But this time, Battalion Commander Xu caught a few tongues, and this group of enemies is indeed a serious Japanese officer and soldier.

It is also one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese Army, and the 4th Division is also very famous. ”

"The 4th Division?"

The corners of Yang Chen's mouth froze, and he finally knew that this group of enemy troops was obviously so powerful on the surface, but they were as unbearable as the Imperial Association Army.

It turned out to be the "peace-loving" 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

In his previous life, Yang Chen was fortunate to see a report about the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, so he knew their glorious history.

Historically, there have been battles of the 4th Division, and the Japanese army will either end in defeat or pay the price of heavier casualties.

Of course, is the 4th Division of the Japanese Army really so unbearable?

In fact, it is true that they don't like to work hard, but their own combat effectiveness is definitely not weaker than that of any central army of the Kuomintang.

The reason why they have suffered repeated defeats has to start from the fact that they directly let General Li and his hundreds of thousands of troops go without firing a single shot.

Since then, news of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has low combat effectiveness, has spread far and wide.

Therefore, when our officers and men met the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, they would be like taking stimulants, and they would cheer up 12 points.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army didn't like to work hard very much, and when it encountered a tough battle, it was not a lie that it was sick because of the water and soil, but for a lot of reasons, and it was always possible to find a reason not to participate in the battle.

And the rest of the devil troops who are fighting together will also be affected by the 4th Division, which will demoralize.

……

"What happened to the 4th Division?"

Rake Ear seemed to sense the playfulness on Yang Chen's face, so he asked out loud.

"You can let Xu Hailang come back and tell him that he only needs to leave a small number of soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion to monitor the movements of the Japanese 4th Division!"

"Yes!"

The rake ears roared into agreement.

……

This time, Nishio Shouzo asked the aviation unit to fully support the eastern front, but the 4th Division under Matsui's command still did not cooperate with the fire reinforcement of the aviation unit, so that the aviation infantry regiment suffered heavy losses, crashing more than 10 fighters in total.

The reason why the 4th Division refused to participate in the battle was that most of the imperial soldiers in the army suddenly fell ill because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and now their strength has been greatly reduced, and they are still weak in self-preservation, and they have no extra strength to preside over the attack.

The commander Nishio Shouzao, who learned of the situation, was so angry that he paced back and forth in the command tent, roaring again and again: "Yaga Ya Road! Eight Ga Ya Road! This Matsui life is really angry with me! Mine must impeach him to the military department! ”

"Your Excellency the Commander, in fact, as long as the 4th Division can contain the Tiger Regiment on the Eastern Front, it can be regarded as having completed the most basic task.

And we simply focused our offensive on the west of Taiyuan City, and the north of the city.

Now, whether it is Sekihara-kun's 108th Division or the coalition forces attacking the north of the city, they have achieved very remarkable results.

It is believed that as early as tonight, or as late as tomorrow, the armies of the west and north roads will be able to completely break the outer defense line of the defenders, and then march to the city of Taiyuan.

After taking Taiyuan City, we will wave our army eastward and unite the 4th Division to attack in front and back, and we will definitely be able to annihilate the Tiger Ben Regiment in Mingqian Town in one fell swoop! ”

Chief of Staff Suzuki once again acted as Nishio Shouzo's spiritual mentor, and spoke out in time to consol him.

"Hmm!"

Nishio Shouzo thought of the attack of the Western and Northern Route Armies, and the anger in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

……

At this time, telegrams for help were sent back from the front line.

Fu Yisheng, who was in charge of the Taiyuan City Garrison Headquarters, was in a hurry, he thought that Taiyuan City was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and had built perfect and strong fortifications in the forward position.

Even if it can't completely resist the enemy's attack, it will not be a problem to last at least ten days and half a month.

As a result, less than a day after the start of the war, the battlefields in the west and north were in a hurry.

The only thing that did not send a telegram for help was the position on the eastern front defended by the Tiger Bun Regiment.

In order to completely deal with the enemy in the north, Fu Yisheng sent almost all the troops he could use.

As a result, the enemy's offensive in the north was defended, but in the west, there was bad news again and again, so that the current Fu Yisheng is the first two big.

Now in the city of Taiyuan, there are only two brigades, a guard regiment, an artillery regiment and an artillery brigade, as well as a part of the military police, with a total strength of less than 20,000.

The city defenses were already very empty.

If troops are dispatched to reinforce the battlefield on the Western Front at this time, the garrison of Taiyuan City will really be described as a fictitious character.

The Japanese army only needed to send a wing of troops to attack the city of Taiyuan.

However, the battlefield on the Western Front has already sent telegrams to the headquarters asking for help on more than one occasion, and if reinforcements are not sent, it is feared that the positions on the Western Front will not be guaranteed.

Once the mountain defense line on the western front was broken, the Japanese army would drive straight into the city of Taiyuan in one go.

Just when Fu Yisheng was thinking about it and didn't know what to do, an operational staff officer suddenly spoke: "Commander! We can transfer the Tiger Regiment to the Western Front and rush to support! ”

"Transfer the Tiger Regiment to the Western Front?"

Fu Yisheng frowned and continued: "According to reliable intelligence, the Japanese army attacking from the Eastern Front has at least more than one division.

Although there has been no attack yet, it is only forced by the prestige of the Tiger Regiment.

If at this time, the Tiger Regiment is transferred to the Western Front and the Western Front is held, then the Japanese army on the Eastern Front launches an attack, how should we respond? ”

"This ......"

The adjutant of staff was speechless for a moment.

"Commander, wasn't Regiment Commander Yang appointed by the General Seat as a tactical adviser to the Second War Zone? Why don't we tell Head Yang about this situation at this time, maybe he can come up with a way to deal with it, but not necessarily! ”

Another staff adjutant spoke.

"Hmm!"

Fu Yisheng nodded thoughtfully, at this time, he really couldn't think of a way to defend against the enemy, so he could only ask Yang Chen with a thick face.

……

The picture pulls back to the station of the Tiger Ben Regiment in Mingqian Town.

After receiving a telegram from the garrison headquarters asking for help, Yang Chen immediately summoned all the officers above the battalion level of the Huben Regiment.

After everyone arrived, Yang Chen looked around and said loudly: "This time, the Japanese army is coming to my Taiyuan City from three directions: due west, due north and due east.

I believe you should all know this, right? ”

"Hmm!"

Everyone nodded.

"But right now, unless the current battle on our eastern front is safe, the defenders of the northern and western fronts are in a hurry!

The headquarters mobilized all the troops available to the northern front, although it temporarily resolved the urgent needs of the northern front.

However, in the face of the enemy attacking from the Western Front, the command had no troops to send.

Now the Western Front is in a comprehensive emergency, and the situation is precarious! ”

Yang Chen used the fastest speed to analyze the current situation.
