Taihang Mountains, Xiangyan Belt Jin, Qin Wanglu, North Out of Saiwai, South to the Central Plains.

It has been known as the spine of China since ancient times, and it can be said that it is a place that cannot be easily lost in all dynasties. Whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty destroying Dali, or the Later Jin Dynasty destroying the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Taihang region played an important role.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese showed a trend of swallowing whales in North China. In order to ensure that Taihang was not lost, Nanjing deliberately organized a battle in Songhu, and reversed the Japanese aggression from north to south to east to west. With the help of the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River and the great depth of the southwest region, the situation was maintained.

However, that doesn't mean you can let your guard down. At this moment, the boss is presiding over the situation in the southeast of Shanxi. Once Taiyuan is lost, it will become the first line of resistance to the southward advance of the Japanese army.

After all, the northeast of Jin is still beyond the reach of the whip, tactics are not the whole of the war, and the 424th Regiment cannot stay in Lingqiu all the time after all.

For these, Yue Siliang's heart is clear. Therefore, after recapturing Lingqiu, Yue Siliang did not recklessly make any plans for long-term operation. Instead, he had to plan for the next shift.

And before the transfer, the most important thing is to count the seizures and pack your bags.

"Captain, we've sent it this time."

Entering the warehouse of the Japanese army, Wang Shuangyin's whole person was like a dirt in the city, his eyes were shining, touching this side and looking at that side. This battle can be said to be a bumper harvest for the 424th regiment.

"We have captured more than 500 Type 38 rifles alone, and a considerable number of them are new guns in the arsenal, there are as many as 10 light machine guns with crooked handles, 5 more than 92 heavy machine guns, 7 mortars, and most importantly, ...... We also captured a Type 92 infantry gun! ”

Wang Shuangyin's face was like a layer of light, this battle was too rich for the 424th regiment, five hundred brand-new rifles, enough for many soldiers in the regiment to replace the old rifles in their hands.

Of course, the most important thing is the infantry cannon, with this light and easy to use cannon, they will no longer have to fill in the strong fortifications in the future, with the lives of the soldiers. As for the Ammunition King Shuangyin, he didn't even bother to say it.

"Captain, we're back."

While Yue Siliang and Wang Shuangyin were busy arranging the seizure, Di Hanming and Liu Chuan walked back in a hurry.

"Hmm, Heng Ji has dealt with it?"

Yue Siliang asked such a "nonsense" lightly. The Japanese who drove away, Yue Siliang naturally will not forget the traitors in this county, and of course he will not forget Hengji, a grain company who works for the tiger.

"It has been sealed, and all the food in it has been distributed to the villagers except for our own use in the group."

Di Hanming said vigorously that he did not have any burden in his heart for the seizure of Hengji. Everyone killed in the county today, Yue Siliang and Di Hanming can be said to have a clear conscience. When Fan Jianwen was shot before, the other party always shouted at the last moment that he was Chinese, and he was forced to defect to the Japanese.

But he didn't think about whether he thought that he was Chinese when he instructed the security group to commit a bloody crime in the base area. When Heng Kee sold the food he had stolen from below at a high price, did he ever think that he was Chinese?

"By the way, we can send some more food to the villagers. We can't go slowly for the next transfer, and some baggage can't be separated. The little devil left a lot of supplies, even if it is canned food in Japan, it is enough for us to eat for a while. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Di Hanming nodded, and walked out with Wang Shuangyin. At this time, Liu Chuan also stepped forward, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just say anything straight, don't talk like this."

Liu Chuan is a prudent and cautious person, which is his advantage but also his disadvantage. Liu Chuan is more than delicate, not domineering enough, even if he usually speaks, he subconsciously keeps three points.

"Captain, you see...... Battalion Commander Huang ......"

As soon as Liu Chuan said a beginning, Yue Siliang understood that the other party was here to intercede for Huang Kebei. When guarding Xigou before, Huang Kebei was pushed to the end by Yue Siliang because of the delay of the military plane, and until now he is just a big soldier. Of course, no one in the entire second battalion dared to treat him as a big soldier, and even sometimes Liu Chuan would continue to consult Huang Kebei if he didn't understand something.

"So what do you mean? Reinstate Huang Kebeiguan? What about you? ”

Yue Siliang didn't raise his eyelids, Huang Kebei is a talent, he knows this. After Xigou, Huang Kebei carried out a series of reflections. In the later training, Huang Kebei did not do nothing because he was pushed to the end, but combed and summarized the stabbing kung fu he had practiced for many years and reported it through Liu Chuan. It has been of great help to the regiment's stabbing training.

But Yue Siliang could not easily reinstate Huang Kebei because of this. Just like Yue Siliang said, Huang Kebei brought it up again, but what about Liu Chuan? He, the battalion commander who was ordered to be in danger, worked hard during this time, and now he has brought Huang Kebei back up, and he will become the deputy battalion commander again? It's not like words.

Even if Liu Chuan approves of Yue Siliang, once he does this, Liu Chuan, a cadre he was very optimistic about, may completely become Huang Kebei's shadow, and it will be even more difficult to grow in the future.

"Huang Kebei's matter, let him tell me by himself. The second battalion commander is you Liu Chuan, be a good battalion commander for me, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for being polite. As for Lao Huang...... There's no way I'm going to let him be a big soldier for the rest of his life. ”

Yue Siliang thought about it, but in the end he still leaked a trace of air, and Liu Chuan of the province was thinking nonsense in his mind all day long.

"Yes! Head! ”

Being frightened by Yue Siliang like this, Liu Chuan subconsciously tensed and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Okay, relax. It is impossible for our group to stay in Lingqiu forever. At the latest, it will not take more than three days to set off for construction. I'll say it formally at the meeting later, but I'll give you an explanation for it now, and be mentally prepared.

There are a lot of devils stationed in several surrounding areas, and it is impossible to have a safe journey during the transfer. In today's battle, the casualties of the first battalion are very large, and if there is a battle at that time, your battalion will definitely be the main force. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

As soon as Yue Siliang said this, Liu Chuan was upright again, and replied with a solemn face.

"I said you don't need to be so tense, it's not to scare you, and when you transfer, you will definitely encounter a fiercer battle than today. The enemy is not the definite Nishimura brigade, but the unknown. That said, I'm not sure what a formidable enemy I'll encounter! But no matter how strong the enemy is, it is not a reason for us to be afraid, and we will fight no matter how tough the battle is when there is no way to avoid it!

I am telling you this now, so that you can calculate in your heart now, have enough time to make arrangements, and then the pre-war mobilization and ideological work of the soldiers will depend on you. ”

After that, Yue Siliang didn't give Liu Chuan any more chance, but waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

……

5th Division, 19th Wing, Wing Commander Sasaki 46's office.

"Wing Commander, Brigade Commander calling."

Sasaki Shiroku, who was sitting in front of the sun flag, heard the report of his subordinates, and immediately stood up, and after tidying up the straight military uniform on his body, he looked at his subordinates and said calmly.

"Read it."

"Hello! The 19th Wing Sasaki 46 is now making the following decisions for the eight roads around Lingqiu. Once the imperial army captured Taiyuan and the situation in Shanxi became clear, they immediately dispatched the combat strength of the whole alliance to resolutely exterminate the eight roads in the Lingqiu area! Complete! Always on standby! ”

"Hello!"

After listening to the telegram read by his subordinates, Sasaki Shiroku immediately bowed to the empty air. The telegram from the brigade commander can be said to have completely ignited his fighting spirit.

Nishimura is the captain of his wing, but as his subordinate, Nishimura has made him lose face. As a group leader, he commanded a full brigade, which also included an artillery squadron. It is precisely because of the importance of Nishimura that Sasaki Shiroku will send Nishimura to be stationed in Lingqiu.

However, it is such a force that has high hopes for itself, and it has been in constant condition since entering Lingqiu! First of all, the baggage troops of the imperial army suffered many ambushes here in Lingqiu, which caused the logistics of the imperial army in front to be greatly affected. After being reprimanded by him several times, he got a little better.

And yet just yesterday! The most disgraceful thing happened to him!

The Xicun Brigade, the elite troops under him, was actually ...... by the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu City A force with no unified equipment and uniform has been defeated! And in the end, he was defeated and withdrew from Lingqiu! On top of that, he also lost the brigade's staff officer, Nishio, who had been taken care of by his teacher in Japan, but now he was killed in his troops. Sasaki felt like he had been slapped twice in the face!

As soon as he got the news, Sasaki wanted to directly mobilize troops and crush Lingqiu. But just when he had already assembled his troops, the brigade commander ordered him not to act rashly. Japan has a tradition of being superior, and if it weren't for the harshest words of warning him by the brigade commander. The 424th Regiment may be followed by a wing after defeating the Nishimura Brigade.

However, if Sasaki really sent troops at that time, it was very likely that the entire northeastern Jin would be a mess.

The defeat of a brigade of the Japanese army is not a trivial matter. The eyes of the whole Shanxi are staring, if Sasaki will send troops from Guangling at that time, then the other troops will naturally not give up this opportunity to attack the Japanese army that has not gained a firm foothold.

By that time, it was not known who Taiyuan belonged to, and the layout of the Japanese army in Shanxi was likely to fall short.

But now it's different, Sasaki understands that the telegram sent by the brigade commander means that Taiyuan City is nine out of ten.
