At this time, Nishio Shouzo, the commander of the Japanese Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army, finally led his guards into Taiyuan City.

The battle of Shanxi, which lasted more than two months, although the battle ended with China. The rout of the army ended with the victory of the Imperial Japanese Army, and finally achieved the strategic goal of occupying the capital of Shanxi.

However, Nishio Shouzo was not happy at all.

First of all, not to mention the heavy losses of the Japanese Imperial Army, they were not able to completely annihilate the defenders of Shanxi, especially the Tiger Regiment.

Secondly, the Taiyuan they occupied was already an empty city, an empty city that was almost in ruins, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city had been evacuated long before they arrived.

Losing troops and losing generals, but only gaining such an empty city with no practical significance, for Nishio Shouzo, it was simply a great shame for his Japanese Imperial Army.

And the initiator of all this is the hateful guy named Yang Chen.

As soon as he thought of this, Nishio Shou's face was pale, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.

"It's all this hateful Yang Chen, and the Tiger Ben Regiment under his command, who have repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the imperial army, if it weren't for them, how could our front army have suffered such heavy losses? Where is this Tiger Regiment now?"

When the commander of the Japanese Army's Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army, Nishio Shouzo, thought of Yang Chen, he gritted his teeth, hating to swallow his flesh and drink his blood raw, and crush Yang Chen's bones and ashes in order to vent the hatred in his heart.

Chief of Staff Suzuki thought for a moment and replied: "According to the intelligence, after the Tiger Regiment broke through last night, it went all the way to the southeast.

In order to cover the retreat of the wounded and logistical troops, the speed of their march was not fast, and during this period, they also had dozens of large and small battles with our Imperial Japanese Army.

Now their location should be in the uninhabited mountainous area southeast of Mingqian Town. ”

"They haven't retreated yet?"

Nishio Shou asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Your Excellency! They must have been afraid of the firepower of our Great Japanese Air Force, so they were still holding on to the danger and resisting the pursuit of the Imperial Army. Suzuki replied with a smile.

"Send a telegram to all divisions, brigades, and wings of the Dispatch Army, and immediately launch an attack on Mingqian Town.

At any cost, we must destroy this hateful tiger group!

In addition, the aviation force must also go all out to assist the army in combat!

They like to hide in the mountains, so they will flatten these mountains! Nishio Shouzo ordered angrily.

In fact, Chief of Staff Suzuki led the way and did not agree with the storming of Mingqian Town at this time.

The reason is very simple, Taiyuan City has been taken, and the strategic purpose of attacking Shanxi has been achieved.

And the Tiger Ben regiment was not surrounded by the imperial army, they guarded the dangerous place of Mingqian Town, and they could attack and retreat.

In addition, after this battle, although the Tiger Ben Regiment was not completely annihilated, its casualties were not low, and it was defeated into an organization, and it was difficult to form an effective threat to the Imperial Japanese Army in the short term.

There is no need to fight for such a remnant.

Fighting mosquitoes with a cannon is not worth it at all.

Moreover, the divisions, brigades, and wings participating in the war have been fighting bloody battles for a long time, suffering heavy losses, and lacking men and horses.

They all urgently need to rest and recuperate, and it is really not suitable to continue the offensive, otherwise it will not only be difficult to achieve the goal, but will also increase casualties, which is not conducive to supporting troops in future battles.

This Yang Chen is extremely insidious and cunning, if he falls into his trap again, and thus loses his troops again, it will be a big loss.

It's just that Nishio Shouzo is angry, and he is the commander of the temporary dispatch army, Suzuki didn't dare to go against his will, so he had to bite the bullet and convey the order.

…………

Temporarily dispatched all divisions, brigades and wings of the army, because they had suffered too much under the Tiger Ben Regiment before.

Therefore, after the Tiger Ben Regiment broke through the encirclement, they followed the pursuit all the way.

It's just that after being strongly blocked by the Tiger Ben Regiment, there was a bloody battle, and the troops were lost again.

The devil was exhausted, and he was no longer able to attack, so he took the initiative to retreat to the area of Mingqian Town to repair.

However, he didn't expect Nishio Shouzo to send another telegram ordering them to attack forcibly.

This made all the departments of the devils, who were exhausted and suffered heavy losses, complain.

Under such circumstances, even with the support of the air force, the devil's offensive became weak and weak, and the Tiger Regiment of Yang Chen personally sat in the command headquarters and was easily repelled again and again.

From the beginning of the Battle of Tianzhen to the present, the little devils of the Shanxi Temporary Dispatch Army have been fighting continuously for more than three months, especially the 5th Division, which has been fighting from beginning to end.

Not to mention the heavy losses of the various departments, the most important thing is mental exhaustion.

No one can imagine how much suffering and consumption the physical and mental strength of anyone should be after more than three months of continuous fighting.

The devil's attack was unfavorable, and the defense line of the Tiger Ben Regiment was as stable as Mount Tai.

Until the evening, the Devil Aviation Unit could not continue to cooperate with the ground forces to launch an offensive due to the dark weather.

The Devil ground forces have finally stopped bombing and attacking.

Yang Chen gathered everyone and began to prepare for the official evacuation of his troops.

Everyone stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Taiyuan City from afar.

Yang Chen's expression was solemn, and he took the lead in saluting: "Goodbye Taiyuan!" Sooner or later, we'll make a comeback and take you back!"

Wang Gui, Xu Hailang, Rake Er, Chen Ming, Liu Zheping, Zhang Dali and others all followed and saluted.

Yang Chen's words are by no means vain, there is a system in hand, so that he does not need to worry about the supply of weapons and equipment, and he only needs to fight to nourish the war, so that he can become stronger and stronger the more he fights.

The only thing he lacks is time.

From the battle of Tianzhen to the present, the Tiger Ben Regiment has hardly rested well.

The way is either a battle, or on the way to the battle.

As long as he was given enough time, Yang Chen was confident that he would be able to build a well-equipped and incomparably strong steel division.

At that time, not to mention the counterattack on Taiyuan, it will not be impossible to regain the lost territory of the whole of China and land on the Japanese mainland.

And now, the battle is over.

Because of Yang Chen's arrival, the Japanese North China Front invested several times more troops in Shanxi than budgeted, and the casualties were also several times that of the original history.

It doesn't seem to have changed history, but it has changed a lot.

Now, the Japanese North China Front can be said to be seriously injured, and it is difficult to say whether the Battle of Xuzhou will break out as scheduled.

He finally had enough time to take this opportunity to take a good rest.

After the salute, Yang Chen turned around again and glanced at the southeast with complicated eyes.

That is the direction in which the capital city of Nanjing is located.

It was late December.

The war in the South, as well as history, did not change because of his crossing.

And that tragedy also happened as scheduled according to the historical trajectory.

That is the eternal pain of hundreds of millions of Chinese, and that is also the eternal shame of China!

In the meantime, Yang Chen also wanted to turn the tide in the past, but the Shanxi battlefield was also inseparable from him.

And he could not have directly predicted this catastrophe in advance, otherwise no one would believe or say it, but it might backfire and make history develop in a more uncontrollable direction.

The power of one person is finally limited.

This is also Yang Chen's own system, such an artifact that can almost change his life against the sky, otherwise if he is replaced by an ordinary person, he is afraid that if he crosses over, it will be like sand sinking into the sea, not to mention leaving a trace, and he can't even turn over the waves.
