The five detachments left, the 688th Regiment and the 689th Regiment left, and Shi Poshan led two squads of the communication platoon to take the front team mobilized from Shouyang County during the day also left, including the 1st Company, 2nd Company, 3rd Company and Yuan Gang's recruit company mobilized in the Baijiazhuang area, and also took the weapons, ammunition, and supplies captured from the strongholds, and they withdrew with Shi Poshan, leaving only the combat troops in situ to monitor the movements of the surrounding Japanese troops.

The Eighth Route Army left behind in Shouyang City was left with Xiao Siming and the radio and communication platoon that accompanied him.

When the communication was drained, the telephone lines in Shouyang City were destroyed. Telephones and switches were taken away, and wires were cut and taken away.

Xiao Siming sent telegrams to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies and Yuan Gang in the Baijiazhuang stronghold, telling them that the weapons, ammunition, grain, and socks in Shouyang City had been transferred, and that tomorrow the common people in Shouyang City and the surrounding countryside would also begin to clear the wilderness, and the task of covering the transfer of materials had been completed. Tomorrow is a very critical day, and it is impossible for the little devils not to be able to detect the abnormality all the time, and they are likely to launch a small exploratory attack on Shouyang along the railway and highway. In the tentative attack on the Japanese army, it is necessary to concentrate firepower and fight fiercely, and bring out the characteristics of the main force of the Eighth Route Army that are well-equipped, fierce, and tactically flexible, so that the little devils do not dare to attack Shouyang easily, and the little devils think that the main force of the 115th Division is in Shouyang City!

As for the next move, Xiao Siming did not say it on the telegram.

There is a problem to consider here, that is, we can't let the little devil immediately judge the direction of our army's retreat to Shiguai Town, in that case, Xiao Siming will go to the Army Command Academy in vain, be a special operations elite and a training staff officer in vain before his soul crosses!

Of course, even if the little devil clearly judged that our army would retreat to Shiguai Town, what would it do? The vast Taihang Mountain, the mountain is big and the ravine is deep, the little devil is not afraid of death, just come!

After sending the telegram, Xiao Siming suddenly regretted a little, and felt that Mei Ying should not be allowed to transfer with the baggage team, and should let her stay with him. Such a good night, if you stay with Mei Ying and whisper, it must be beautiful! It would be even more beautiful if we could go one step further!

As soon as he thought of Mei Ying, Xiao Siming's mind was a little messy, and it seemed that Mei Ying was standing in front of his face!

Melon seed face, curved eyebrows, straight and small nose, thin lips, deep dimples, tall and slender figure, beautiful eyes and longing, like a pool of spring water.

This girl is really haunting!

Thinking about it, Xiao Siming was a little stupid, and felt that after Shiguai Town announced the expansion of the troops, he should have a good talk with Mei Ying and determine the relationship. As long as Dongjin crosses Jinpu Road, he will report and ask to marry Mei Ying. Such a beautiful girl, marry early and be beautiful!

This Xiao Siming, I don't want to think about how old he is, he has just entered the age of eighteen, and he is worried about marrying Mei Ying! Speaking of it, I'm afraid it will make those senior generals of the Eighth Route Army who are still singles laugh out of their big teeth!

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was boring to think blindly, so it was better to find an opportunity after arriving in Shiguai Town, and directly report to ask for marriage, and enter the cave house as soon as possible!

At this time, it was already late at night, Xiao Siming didn't go to sleep, but stayed in the office thinking about Mei Ying! I don't know if Mei Ying, who is on the march, knows if she knows!

That night, I don't know how Xiao Siming fell asleep!

The next morning, Xiao Siming got up and washed up, went to practice Shaolin boxing for a while, had breakfast, went around the street, and saw that the business shops in the county were closed, and many villagers were carrying burdens, helping the old and young out of the city, and they knew that the villagers began to clear the wilderness, so they were relieved.

When he returned to the Japanese brigade headquarters, Chen Qiang sent a telegram from the division headquarters.

The telegram from the division headquarters was a telegram from the headquarters, which was very short, with only one line on it: "At 8 o'clock at the latest, the news of our army's capture of Shouyang will be officially announced!" ”

Xiao Siming had a stirring in his heart, knowing that Han Xinling's blocking battle could not be fought, and the situation of the battle had been reversed, and the headquarters wanted to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese army's attack by announcing the news of the independent battalion's capture of Shouyang, and the central army in response to Han Xinling broke through! The reason why I sent such a telegram to myself was to let myself arrange for the troops to evacuate Shouyang in advance!

After muttering for a while, Xiao Siming ordered Chen Qiang: "Call back to the division headquarters and headquarters, the transfer of materials in Shouyang has ended, and the main force of Xiao and the independent battalion is ready for battle and evacuation." The headquarters can announce the news of our army's capture of Shouyang at any time when it is needed. ”

After Chen Qiang went, Xiao Siming wandered around the room, wondering what the little devil would react to and what means to deal with it once he knew that Shouyang was attacked and occupied!

The battle of Han Xinling is indeed unbeatable!

At noon yesterday, seeing that the Japanese offensive was exhausted, Wei Lihuang called Yan Xishan and urged the main force of the Jin Sui army to take the opportunity to counterattack Taiyuan, Yan Xishan agreed, and really ordered the main force of the Jin Sui army to dispatch.

It's a pity that Commander Yan studied in Japan, has a deep relationship with Japan, and has hidden Japanese spies around him. As soon as his order was issued, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji, knew about it. Therefore, while the Japanese army urgently dispatched the 109th Division, which was attacking to the west of Jinxi, to return to Taiyuan, it dispatched planes from Beiping, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang airports to bomb the Jinsui army.

The Japanese spies are with Commander Yan, how accurate should the information be, the devil plane not only bombed the main force of the Jin Sui Army moving in the direction of Taiyuan, but also directly and viciously pounced on the headquarters of Commander Yan, so that Commander Yan had to transfer! I didn't expect the little devil to be so ruthless, even Commander Yan's car was blown up!

In a fit of rage, Commander Yan, who knew it well, didn't let the military law team bother to crack it at all, and personally found out the spy who provided intelligence to the Japanese army and shot him with one shot!

Although the Japanese spies were shot, the strategic intention of attacking Taiyuan and recapturing Taiyuan had been exposed, and it was impossible to achieve it, and the Jin Sui army could only withdraw to the starting position!

In battle, you are not afraid to defend your position, you are afraid to turn in. When defending the position, there are officers to lead, there are strict orders from superiors, and there are supervising teams, and the troops will fight very tenaciously, and the deeds can be sung and cried! Once the war does not go well and it is necessary to transfer and retreat, it will be over, and the sheep will be herded, often the officers will run first, and the soldiers will follow and disperse, and when the assembly area is counted, ten percent of the troops will have to go seventy percent!

The Jin Sui army is a soldier of Shanxi, defending the land and resisting the war, and on the whole it is very brave, but it cannot be out of the ordinary. During the Battle of Tianzhen, the Japanese army was only a sneak attack, seizing the main position of Panshan defended by the 400th Regiment of the 200th Brigade of the 61st Army of the Jinsui Army, and killed the battalion commander who was still asleep defending the main position, and the defense line of the entire 61st Army collapsed, and all seven regiments were herded; The battle of Taiyuan was the same, the troops who originally planned to retreat from the front line of Niangziguan defended the Taiyuan Dongshan defense line, and the troops withdrawn from the front line of Dongxinkou were deployed north of Taiyuan, relying on the Taiyuan city defense and the Japanese army to fight, the result was that after the troops withdrew, they had no intention of entering the position to block the Japanese army, bypassing Taiyuan City and rushing to the west of the Fen River and southern Jinnan, the commander could not find the army commander, the army commander could not find the division commander, the division commander could not find the regiment commander, the regiment commander could not find the battalion commander, what kind of battle and combat effectiveness could not be discussed!

The retreat of the Jin Sui Army, the main force of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, which turned to Taiyuan for defense, immediately turned around and began to chase the Jin Sui Army and beat the buttocks.

On the front line of Han Xinling, the Japanese army saw that it could not be attacked for a long time, so it also changed its fighting style and began to attack in a roundabout way to the southwest of Jin.

The main force of the Jin Sui Army went to attack Taiyuan, and the Central Army fought with the Japanese army in Hanxinling, and the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division was ordered to guerrilla attack west of Zhengtai Road in Jinzhong to respond to the Hanxinling blockade. Jin Southwest turned out to be empty!

Fighting back and forth, the Second Theater came with the ideal of counterattacking Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, but the result was that the Japanese army seized the gap and stabbed the sharp knife to the southwest of Jin, the rear of our army.

The tide of battle turned in an instant!

The original intention of the Han Xinling Blocking Battle was to use the elite of the Central Army to block the main force of the Japanese army moving south along the Tongpu Road, and create an opportunity for the Jin Sui Army to recapture Taiyuan. At this time, the Japanese army made a detour to the southwest of Jin, and the 108th Division attacked Linfen again, and immediately encircled the Central Army holding Han Xinling into the encirclement!

The Han Xinling blocking battle suddenly became a real blocking battle to cover the transfer of various troops to the southeast of Jin, Zhongtiao Mountain, and the mountainous area of western Jinxi, and it was about to evolve into a breakthrough battle!

The reason why the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army issued a report at this time to inform Xiao Siming that it was announced that our army had captured Shouyang was indeed to relieve pressure on the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, and to try to create chaos for the Japanese army by announcing the news of our army's capture of Shouyang, so that they could not unscrupulously pursue, intersperse, and encircle the retreating Jin Sui Army and the Central Army!

The reason why the announcement time was set at 8 o'clock in the evening was to leave time for the independent battalion to evacuate Shouyang, so that Xiao Siming and them could evacuate quietly under the cover of night.

The day was spent in the madness of the Japanese planes and the great pursuit and detour of the Japanese army.

Xiao Siming's judgment was a little wrong, during the day that day, the Japanese troops in Yuci, Taiyuan, Yangquan, Pingding, and Yuxian did not launch a tentative attack on Shouyang, and they did not even send a spy traitor to investigate the situation, and the little devil was still kept in the dark, and he didn't know that Shouyang City had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent a good news to the Military Commission of the Second Theater and Wuhan on time, informing that the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army had captured Shouyang, annihilated a Japanese infantry brigade with a total of 1,100 people, annihilated 500 people of the pseudo-Shouyang County garrison, uprooted 12 Japanese puppet strongholds, and captured the weapons, ammunition, food and socks stored in Shouyang by the 36th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army!

The situation on the battlefield in Shanxi has changed abruptly, the Central Army's Wei Lihuang Department on the front line of Han Xinling is in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, and the Jin Sui Army dispatched to Taiyuan is also in danger of being caught up by the Japanese army and divided and annihilated.

After receiving the good news of the 18th Group Army, the bigwigs of the Military Commission rushed to the map one by one, and then ordered the Central News Agency to immediately announce the news of our army's occupation of Shouyang!

With the news of our army's capture of Shouyang urgently broadcast by the Central News Agency, Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, who was commanding the troops to fight in full swing, was stunned, stupid, he never imagined that after the destruction of Taiyuan Airport, Shouyang City fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army again, and he was once again embarrassed!
