Qiulin Town, Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province, the Headquarters of the Second Theater Commander.

Yesterday's press conference was held very late, and Yan Xishan got up a little late today, and when he got dressed and came to the chief's office, it was already 12 o'clock at noon.

After checking the messages, Yan Xishan looked towards Taiyuan, and there was an indescribable sense of loss on his face.

He felt very bad in his heart, when the Japanese did not enter Shanxi, Yan Xishan was the emperor of Shanxi, and he had the final say in everything in Shanxi, and Taiyuan was his palace, and he enjoyed a good life in Taiyuan.

But now that the Japanese are coming, he was forced to hide in Shaanxi, and most of Shanxi has become a Japanese-occupied area, which makes Yan Xishan hold back his anger all the time, especially for his own Jin Sui army troops, he has complaints in his heart, he feels that his Jin Sui army troops are simply a bunch of waste.

"Chief Yan, the Third Cavalry Regiment and the First Independent Regiment Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming jointly called, the Left Route Army attacked Hequ County under the command of Sun Weiguo, and has now recovered Hequ County, in addition, they annihilated hundreds of Japanese troops in Hequ County, and captured the Japanese 26th Division and 26th Infantry Regiment Major General Kuroda Shigetoku."

When Yan Xishan was about to inquire about the battle in the northwest of Jin, the chief of staff, Zhu Shouguang, walked in, he came to Yan Xishan, and reported softly.

Hearing Zhu Shouguang's report, Yan Xishan showed a stunned expression on his face, he looked at Zhu Shouguang in disbelief, he couldn't believe his ears, his eyes looked at Zhu Shouguang, and after seeing Zhu Shouguang repeat it again, Yan Xishan believed what he heard.

"This Sun Weiguo is the nemesis of the Japanese army, but it's a pity that he is a member of the Eighth Route Army, not our Jin Sui Army. Anyway, this time our Jinsui army unit also participated in the battle, you immediately find Tang Chunhua and ask him to take reporter Catherine to Sun Weiguo, and at the same time give him the weapons donated by overseas Chinese in the United States. Tell Tang Chunhua to bring me back the Japanese Major General, no matter what the cost, you must bring the Japanese Major General back to me. ”

Yan Xishan looked at Zhu Shouguang, and he said in a serious tone.

"Chief Yan, you are the supreme commander of the Second World War Zone, and the troops have won the battle, you should be rewarded, otherwise it will inevitably be said that you favor one over the other, especially now that domestic and foreign reporters are still in the commander's department, you must express your stance at this time." Zhu Shouguang reminded softly.

Yan Xishan stood up, he looked at the map, and after patting his forehead lightly, Yan Xishan immediately issued an order: "Prepare a telegram, the unit has this good opportunity, fight bravely, deal a major blow to the enemy, capture the enemy's major general, and deserve a special reward, the commander's department specially commends 200,000 legal currency for the first regiment of the reserve, the third cavalry regiment, and the first independent regiment each commend 50,000 yuan of legal currency, and at the same time report to the chairman of the military commission, and the first regiment of the reserve is expanded into a new second brigade, and the former regiment commander Sun Weiguo is promoted to the position of commander of the second brigade of recruits." ”

After receiving Yan Xishan's order, Zhu Shouguang nodded, and then he began to walk out and began to quickly send electricity to the first regiment of preparation.

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

It is worth mentioning that the Japanese army has an advantage in all aspects, and the Japanese intelligence organs can decipher the Chinese troops' telegrams, but this is very difficult for the Chinese troops to do, and of course this is directly related to the developed intelligence departments of the Japanese army.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and Terauchi Shouichi had just had lunch, and he was looking at the huge map of China with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The North China Front's current operations are not only operations in the northwest of Shanxi, but they have also participated in the operation to open up the Jinpu line, and the operation of tens of thousands of troops in the northwest of Shanxi Province is nothing more than a small fight in the eyes of Terauchi Shouichi, and the focus of the battle between China and Japan will really be the battle on the Jinpu line, which has a bearing on the future fate of the two sides.

"Your Excellency Commander, the intelligence department has just deciphered a telegram from the Jin Sui Army, in this telegram, the Chinese troops seem to have captured one of our major generals alive in the northwest of Jin, and the intelligence agency is currently verifying the authenticity of the message, but at present, we have not been able to get in touch with the commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku."

At this time, the chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, came to the front of Shouichi Terauchi, looking at Shouichi Terauchi in front of him, Naosaburo Okabe frowned tightly and said.

Hearing Okabe Naosaburo's report, Shouichi Terauchi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he looked at Naosaburo Okabe in front of him with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Kuroda Shigetoku is stationed in Biguan County, where there are more than 1,000 Japanese troops, even if the first reserve regiment hits Biguan County, Kuroda Shigetoku can also escape, how he was captured alive, this matter makes Terauchi Shouichi very puzzled, and what makes Terauchi Shouichi even more puzzled is that Kunomura Momoyo's troops are holding back Sun Weiguo's reserve first regiment.

"What the hell is going on, immediately get in touch with Kunomura Momoyo directly to inquire about the authenticity of this matter. It is very likely that the Chinese army is engaged in false propaganda, and it is said that a group of reporters have recently arrived in the second theater of operations. Shouichi Terauchi looked at Naosaburo Okabe and said that he still didn't believe it was true.

Okabe Naosaburo nodded, and just as he wanted to send a message to ask, a Japanese soldier Osa came to Terauchi Shouichi.

"Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, according to the report of the First Reserve Brigade of the Defenders of Biguan County, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku is not in Biguan County at present, and they cannot get in touch with Kuroda Shigetoku, according to them, it is very likely that Major General Kuroda Shigetoku went to Baode County." Officer Osa's immediate report was made.

"Your Excellency Commander, Haqu County has been captured by the Chinese troops, and the Aviation Corps asks if it will bomb Hequ County."

At this time, a staff officer ran over, and he looked at Terauchi Shouichi and asked.

Hearing the telegrams transmitted from all sides, Terauchi Shouichi was almost certain at this time that Kuroda Shigetoku must have been captured by the Shina troops.

But Terauchi Shouichi still doesn't understand, Sun Weiguo just has an infantry regiment, how did he hide from Kunomura Momoyo's troops and go to Hequ County, and Kuroda Shigetoku went to Baode County, there will definitely be troops to follow, how Sun Weiguo defeated Kuroda Shigetoku's escort troops.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have just received the news that an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment of the Jin Sui Army have joined the battle sequence in Baode County, and these two regiments seem to have accepted the command of Sun Weiguo.

At this time, a Nakasa from the intelligence department came to Terauchi Shouichi and reported.

"Bagaya Road, why don't you report this matter in advance." When Shouichi Terauchi heard this report, his face turned angry, and he shouted and cursed.
