Shaanxi, Yichuan, Qiulin, Second Theater Commander's Department.

It was already late at night, and Yan Xishan, who was wearing the uniform of a first-class army general, was not resting at this time, he was sitting on a chair and pondering.

Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang walked in briskly from outside, he came to Yan Xishan and stood upright, and then saluted Yan Xishan.

"This Sun Weiguo is too much, if he doesn't achieve results, I will definitely not give up on this matter easily."

After looking at Zhu Shouguang, Yan Xishan immediately said dissatisfiedly, Yan Xishan had already gotten the news about Zhang Jian being killed by Sun Weiguo, even though Yan Xishan gave Sun Weiguo the right to dispose of the officers of the Jin Sui Army, but after hearing the news, Yan Xishan was still a little unhappy.

Yan Xishan, a little major battalion commander, would not care about the life or death, but he felt that Sun Weiguo was tantamount to slapping himself in the face by doing this, which was what made Yan Xishan really unhappy, after all, Zhang Jian was an officer of the Jin Sui Army.

"Sir Yan, the defenders of Lanxian County have eaten up a cavalry wing of the Japanese army, although this operation is commanded by Sun Weiguo, but it is our cavalry unit of the Jin Sui Army that is fighting, and Sun Weiguo asks for credit for the third cavalry regiment and the sixth cavalry regiment. In addition, more than 1,000 people were surrounded by four battalions in Dongcun Town, and if nothing else, the more than 1,000 Japanese troops might be wiped out tomorrow. ”

Zhu Shouguang ignored Yan Xishan's complaints, and he reported the news he had just gotten.

After hearing the news, the unhappy expression on Yan Xishan's face disappeared instantly, and he took the telegram in Zhu Shouguang's hand and looked at it carefully.

After seeing the content of the telegram, Yan Xishan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, Yan Xishan immediately said: "Forward the telegram to the chairman immediately, and don't say anything about Sun Weiguo's leadership of the cavalry troops of the Jin Sui Army." ”

Zhu Shouguang nodded, and he immediately walked out and began to convey Yan Xishan's order.

"This Sun Weiguo is really amazing, I really didn't expect that when the cavalry troops came to his hands, the troops would be able to win the battle, if Sun Weiguo could be used by me, it would be good." After Zhu Shouguang left, Yan Xishan muttered to himself, his face full of contemplative expressions.

The fierce fighting in Lanxian continued, and the Japanese army in Dongcun Town held on, which made it difficult for the attacking troops to eat them in a short time.

Similarly, it was still very difficult for the Japanese troops to break through the Lanhe River, and the second battalion and the supplementary battalion held their positions and did not retreat, bringing a lot of casualties to the Japanese army, and the mobile troops led by Sun Weiguo pinned down the Japanese troops to a great extent.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of 9 March, the Military Commission sent a telegram commending the combat units of Lanxian County and calling on all theaters to learn from the defending troops of Lanxian County; at the same time, the Military Commission issued a notice that the cavalry wing of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army had been completely annihilated, and this greatly encouraged the combat units of the Fifth Theater on the Jinpu Line.

Therefore, the chairman of the committee specially called the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to give a special commendation to Sun Weiguo's First Reserve Regiment.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army forwarded the chairman's telegram, and at the same time, Vice President Peng issued an order to Sun Weiguo: to strike hard at the Japanese troops in Lan County, to inspire the hearts of the army and the people throughout the country, and to announce the determination of the Eighth Route Army troops to resist Japan.

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Lerong immediately dispatched Luo Hongyi, commander of the communications platoon, to personally lead people to get in touch with Sun Weiguo.

Shen Wei, the political commissar of the regiment, suggested that a full-scale counteroffensive be carried out against the Japanese army to attack the Japanese army's river-crossing troops.

The battle in Lanxian County still did not stop, and Sun Weiguo on the south bank of the Lan River had already sent the cavalry out as a company to harass the Japanese army and contain the Japanese army's attack on the north bank of the Lan River.

When Luo Hongyi found Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo was also thinking about whether to take the opportunity to give the Japanese army a counterattack.

Luo Hongyi conveyed the chairman's commendation and at the same time conveyed the request of Vice President Peng of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"After you go back, you immediately get in touch with Regiment Commander Qian and tell him that you must completely annihilate the Japanese troops in Dongcun Town after dawn. At the same time, he told the political commissar Shen Wei that the troops should not launch a counterattack for the time being, and all departments would be stationed in positions according to the plan. Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.

After Luo Hongyi received Sun Weiguo's order, he immediately returned to the regimental headquarters of the Reserve First Regiment, while Sun Weiguo gathered the mobile troops.

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

Shouichi Terauchi stood in front of the map with red eyes, looking at the location of Arashi Prefecture on the map, and Shouichi Terauchi's face became angry.

He already knew the news that the cavalry wing had been completely annihilated, and after losing many troops in Arashi County, Terauchi Shouichi felt that the 109th Division should be evacuated.

Just thinking of the 119 Wing Flag that fell into the hands of Sun Weiguo, Terauchi Shouichi had a crazy idea in his heart, if he had extra troops in his hands now, he would definitely not hesitate to transfer these troops to Lan County to fight, but unfortunately, the North China Front Army had no extra troops to draw.

"Your Excellency, the base camp seems to have received the situation of the operation in the northwest of Jin, and they ordered us to deploy the main force on the Jinpu line, and it is important to cooperate with the Central China Dispatch Army to open up the operation of the Jinpu line. In addition, they were very dissatisfied with our performance in the northwest of Shanxi, and reprimanded us in the telegram not to affect the operation of the Jinpu line. ”

Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo came to Terauchi Shouichi, looking at Terauchi Shouichi in front of him, Okabe Naosaburo said helplessly.

Hearing that it was a call from the base camp, Terauchi Shouichi didn't dare to delay, he took the message and looked at it, with a contemplative expression on his face.

"Send a heavy power to Yamaoka and agree to Sun Weiguo's request, but you must ensure that the 119 Wing flag is returned. Let Sun Weiguo take advantage of it first, and when the battle on the Xujinpu line is over, I will definitely send heavy troops to deal with him. ”

Terauchi Shouichi said in a cold tone, and he decided to agree to Sun Weiguo's conditions, after all, the wing flag is very important to the Japanese army.

These weapons can be written in the battle damage, even if the Chinese troops publicize the incident afterwards, the Japanese army can deny it.

But if the wing flag is in the hands of the Chinese troops, the consequences will be unimaginable, it will make Terauchi Shouichi lose face, and the division that has lost the wing flag will also be affected, which is something that Terauchi Shouichi does not want to see.

"Your Excellency Commander, do you want us to do something with these exchanged weapons, if these weapons are given to the Zhina troops, especially to Sun Weiguo's troops, I am afraid the consequences will be very serious."

Okabe Naosaburo looked at Terauchi Shouyichi, and he said softly, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Sun Weiguo is not an ordinary Chinese officer, don't do anything with the weapons, give them these weapons, as long as they can be exchanged for the 119 Wing Flag, if the country knows that the Wing Flag awarded by the Emperor himself has been captured, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Shouichi Terauchi had a serious expression on his face, and he looked at Naosaburo Okabe and said.
