Hearing Zhu Shouguang's praise of Sun Weiguo, Yan Xishan sighed helplessly.

There are few officers who can make Zhu Shouguang look high, don't look at Yan Xishan is the emperor of Shanxi, but he is just a graduate of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, the so-called non-commissioned officer school is just a military academy for training low-level officers.

And Zhu Shouguang, who stood in front of Yan Xishan, was different, he was a top student who graduated from the Japanese Army University.

Not to mention in the Second War Zone, even if you look at the whole of China at this time, there will be no more than double digits of graduates from the Japanese Army University.

A character who can be praised by a general like Zhu Shouguang is naturally not a simple character.

Yan Xishan also knew Sun Weiguo, and he also had the intention of soliciting Sun Weiguo, but it was a pity that Sun Weiguo refused.

"Hasn't Tang Chunhua been there, this Sun Weiguo doesn't take our Jin Suijun seriously. However, those reporters are still with the Independent Regiment, and if something happens to these reporters, it will be difficult for us to explain to the chairman. ”

Yan Xishan looked at Zhu Shouguang and said in a solemn tone.

Zhu Shouguang's eyes glanced at the map, and he shook his head helplessly.

He understood what Yan Xishan meant, but at present, all units of the Jin Sui Army have a lot of casualties, and all departments are in the process of replenishing and recuperating.

If the Japanese army only has the strength of a brigade, then the Jin Sui army can fight hard, after all, there are only a few thousand people in a brigade.

However, the Japanese army put into the attack more than 10,000 people, and there was an infantry division on the side to assist, the Japanese army was able to mobilize more than 30,000 troops, according to the previous comparison, the Jin Sui army wanted to deal with these more than 30,000 Japanese troops, at least 90,000 troops.

Let's not talk about whether these 90,000 troops can handle the more than 30,000 Japanese troops, and now even if the Jin Sui Army piecing together the guard troops of the Commander's Department, it will not be able to put together more than 90,000 troops.

"General, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the ground troops to reinforce, at this time, if we force a battle with the Japanese army, our last family will be exhausted, if these troops are completely wiped out, Shanxi will completely fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

Zhu Shouguang's brows furrowed tightly, and he said softly.

"I don't care if the independent regiment lives or dies, if those reporters die, I can't explain it." Yan Xishan muttered to himself.

He didn't care about the life or death of the Eighth Route Army, all he cared about was those reporters.

There are foreign reporters among those reporters, and if something happens to these foreign reporters, Yan Xishan will have no way to explain except to lose face.

"There is still an air force at Xi'an Airport, so it is better to let the air force send out to support it, as for whether those reporters can live or not, it depends on the will of God."

Zhu Shouguang hesitated, and he said his suggestion.

The ground forces cannot be dispatched, only the precious air force units can be dispatched.

Those reporters are still in the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, even if Jin Suijun doesn't care whether the Independent Regiment lives or dies, but they must take care of these reporters.

With these reporters in the Independent Regiment, then Jin Suijun must be meaningful, and they can't die without help.

"Let's get the Air Force to back it up." Yan Xishan said lightly.

Zhu Shouguang nodded, and then he walked outside, and he began to contact the air force unit.

The air force unit received an order from the Second Theater Commander's Department, and they immediately arranged for two Curtiss A-12 planes to go to Binh Dinh County to support the operation.

The two planes immediately took off and quickly went to Chengguan Town, Pingding County, to participate in the battle.

The Japanese invaded, countless patriots devoted themselves to serving the country, and the Chinese troops resisted the Japanese troops with backward equipment.

Although there are many problems in the Chinese troops, many officers and men have a pure heart to serve the country and kill the enemy.

The Chinese Air Force is much backward compared to the Japanese Air Force, and China does not have the ability to produce its own aircraft, and the aircraft are completely dependent on imports.

Compared with the Japanese army's temporary air regiment, which was under the jurisdiction of the North China Front, which had several hundred planes, the number of Chinese planes was pitifully small, and there were only about 290 planes in the whole country that could take part in the war.

But even though the Japanese Air Force was much behind in numbers, the young Chinese Air Force was undaunted.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the Chinese Air Force has shown a very heroic side, and they have achieved good results in several air battles.

Of course, because of the small number of aircraft, there is no way to supplement the reasons, and it can be said that the number of planes of the Chinese Air Force will be reduced by one when they are shot down.

From this point of view, the Air Force sent two planes to Binh Dinh County to participate in the war, but it provided a large degree of support.

At this time, here in Nantou Village, Chengguan Town, Pingding County, two Japanese infantry brigades put in all their combatants, and they repeatedly attacked the ring fortifications.

Six infantry squadrons used the famous wave attack tactic, and they made six group charges in a row against the fortifications.

Looking at the position of the ring fortifications, a black area of Japanese troops attacked the position.

Repelled the attack of the Japanese troops in front, and the Japanese troops in the rear followed up immediately.

The continuous and repeated wave attacks of the Japanese army created the illusion that the Japanese troops would never be able to fight.

This tactic will bring a lot of physical and mental consumption to the defenders, and often the defenders will not last long before they will be breached.

The recruits of the supplementary company stationed in the position suffered heavy casualties, two infantry platoons had already paid more than forty casualties, and one platoon was almost disabled.

The recruits of the supplementary company were new to the army, and they were only trained before the battle.

Many recruits shoot indiscriminately, and they don't even know how to aim.

Notch, crosshair, target, three-point line, pull the trigger to shoot.

The shooting command was ripe before, but when they arrived on the battlefield, everything changed.

They were all messing around in their heads, and they couldn't remember the shooting passwords at all, they just shot indiscriminately.

Of course, the performance of these indiscriminate recruits can be said to be good, and some of the recruits were frightened and threw away their guns and fled on the spot.

Don't look at the righteous indignation that many recruits have shown before, they can't wait to get guns and compete with devil soldiers immediately.

When they arrived on the battlefield, the Japanese bullets and shells came over, not to mention these recruits, even trained troops could hardly withstand such pressure, and it was normal for deserters to appear in the troops.

The performance of the supplementary company was not satisfactory, but there was always an accident, and there were seven or eight recruits in the supplementary company who were very adaptable, and they quickly learned all kinds of life-saving and shooting skills in the trenches.

For a unit, the best training ground is the battlefield, and only when real swords and guns are done, soldiers will become real soldiers.

Most of the wounded and recruits of the supplementary company were arranged to the back, and Chen Yang immediately transferred an infantry squad of the supplementary company with a guard platoon belonging to Wang Erzhu to garrison the position.
