From the telegram sent by the commander of the 114th Division, Shigeharu Suematsu, to Terauchi Toshiichi can be seen that the army was powerless in dealing with the Reading Army, and Shigeharu Suematsu said in the message: "After losing the superiority of the air force, our army is simply unable to deal with the advanced war vehicles of the China people, and due to the lack of anti-tank weapons, the imperial warriors have to hold explosive bags to block the war vehicles of the China people.

But with little success, now the 128th Brigade of our department has almost slowed down the advance of the Shina people at the cost of the total annihilation, but the tactical mobility of the Shina people is very strong, and the commander can immediately ask His Majesty the Emperor for reinforcements, deploy troops to block the Shina people, and prevent them from attacking Shanxi, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! The lowly duty should lead the headquarters to fight hard to buy time for reinforcements! In fact, Moji Suematsu didn't know at this time that the 6th and 9th Divisions had been defeated, and Xinzhou had lost the gate of Taiyuan.

Along with the 114th Division, the 18th Division was unlucky, although the 18th Division was one of the permanent divisions, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the 114th Division, but it was also beaten out of temper in the face of the offensive of the planes and tanks of the Reading Army, and a cavalry wing ran into a tank battalion and was completely annihilated!

The commander of the 18th Division, Sadao Nakajima, immediately retreated quickly, and although the army did not lose its armor along the way, the casualties were extremely heavy. In order to block the Reading Army, Nakajima Sadao kept leaving the death squad, although it also somewhat slowed down the advance of the Reading Army, but the casualties of the 18th Division were also miserable, and almost all the blocking troops left behind each time were completely annihilated.

According to Nakajima Sadao, before he arrived in Taiyuan, his 18th Division was about to be gnawed up by the Reading Force little by little, thinking of this Nakajima Sadao felt that the cold sweat on his forehead flowed.

When Nakajima Sadao led the remnants of the 18th Division to retreat to Dingxiang, Nakajima learned through scouts that Xinzhou had been lost, so his 18th Division and 114th Division were surrounded by the two armies of the Reading Army.

Nakajima Sadao immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and wait for the broken 114th Division to make plans again, and Zhang Mingyu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that Zhang Biao had led the army to cut off the 18th Division's way back to Taiyuan before the 18th Division, and he sent a telegram to Zhang Biao ordering him to lead the army to garrison on the spot and block Dingxiang.

In this way, the 18th Division and the 114th Division became the turtle in the urn, and after the elimination of these two divisions, there was no army in Shanxi that could stop the pace of the advance of the Reading Army.

After receiving the order, Zhang Biao immediately ordered the troops to build fortifications on the spot, ready to intercept the 18th Division and the 114th Division fleeing south at any time.

?????????????????????

Reading Lijun won a series of battles in western Jinxi, and the brilliant results had already reached the ears of Principal Jiang in Yucheng, which was originally news worth celebrating, but in Principal Jiang's view, it became unfavorable news, at this time, his 'primary school students' already had Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan, and if Zhang Mingyu controlled Shanxi, it would be okay. President Jiang knew that if Zhang Mingyu sat in Suiyuan, Shanxi and other places, the harm would not be comparable to Yan Xishan.

Principal Jiang stood in front of the office window with his hands behind his back and his face was pale, and Wang Shihe and Dai Li in the office were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe when they saw Principal Jiang's scene, and the whole office was silent.

After a while, Principal Jiang turned around as if he had made up his mind, and said to Wang Shihe in a heavy voice: "Shihe, immediately send a telegram to the second war zone, so that Yan Bochuan must take the lead in recovering Shanxi at all costs, and in addition, I am sending an order to the Reading Army, and all the troops under the Reading Force will immediately be stationed in place, and they must not set foot in Taiyuan without an order!" ”

After many years of accompanying President Jiang, Wang Shihe has an extremely good understanding of the principal's thoughts, and it seems that at this time, the position of Zhang Mingyu and Yu Lijun in President Jiang's heart has changed from a great confidant and a favorite general, and a plummeting theory has become a big trouble.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pity for Zhang Mingyu, if you want to talk about the most capable of fighting among the generals, it must be Zhang Mingyu, but it is a pity that such a generation of young talents is regarded as a big trouble by President Jiang, because in his opinion, all those who oppose President Jiang do not end well, Feng Yuxiang is like this, Zhang Xueliang is like this.

But regret is regret, Wang Shihe still bowed his head and said: "Yes!" Let's do it! After saying that, he walked out of the office.

After Wang Shihe left, Dai Li immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Commission, do you really think that Zhang Mingyu will be honest and obedient and stop moving?" ”

Principal Jiang sat on the sofa and said with a frown: "If he Zhang Mingyu dares to disobey the military order, I will send him to the military court!" Hum! ”

Dai Li bowed his head and said: "I'm afraid he won't be so easy to be captured, according to our reports, Zhang Mingyu has a strong reinforcement battalion by his side to protect him, not to mention that he has tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands at this time, if he is forced to defect to the party-state or join the Communist Party, the damage to us will be extremely great!" ”

"What then?" As soon as he heard that Zhang Mingyu had defected to the Communist Party, President Jiang suddenly became anxious. Not to mention that Zhang Mingyu's Reading Force has established fruitful results for the party-state, and with the strength of the Reading Army alone to defeat the North China Army, I am afraid that the ten central elite divisions are beyond the reach of the dust.

The influence of Reading Lijun and Zhang Mingyu in the whole army and even the whole country is huge, although it is now the period of the Anti-Japanese War when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate and fight together, but both President Jiang and Dai Li understand in their hearts that after fighting the devil, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will eventually have a war. But if the Reading Force turns around and changes to [***], it will be a huge blow to the entire [***].

"Rest assured, there is a way to take Zhang Mingyu in one fell swoop, and then let the commission fall!" Dai Li's face was full of confidence.

"Oh?" Principal Jiang's eyes lit up and said, "Yunong, what good way do you have, hurry up and say it!" ”

Dai Li straightened his body, and then said in a low voice: "According to intelligence, Zhang Mingyu has only one weakness, that is, beauty, according to our report, he has already captured the two top spies of the army, known as the flower of spies, Yunko Takeuchi and Yoshiko Kawashima, but did not report it, but detained the two of them privately, it is said that Yunko Takeuchi and the two are amazingly beautiful, so Zhang Mingyu left the two of them, which shows that he is a lustful person." Therefore, it was decided that Liu Wuyan, the best spy of our Military Command Bureau, approached Zhang Mingyu and waited for an opportunity to take him down! ”

"Didn't you say that Zhang Mingyu was heavily guarded? Will your people be able to succeed easily? Principal Jiang asked a little suspiciously.

"Please rest assured, this rain farmer has his own arrangements!" Dai Libi said respectfully.

"Hmmm! I'll leave this to you. Principal Jiang nodded.

"Yes!" Dai Li stood up and said: "If there is nothing else, I will retire first." ”

"Hmm!" Principal Jiang nodded and waved his hand to signal him to step aside.

Dai Lian bowed his head slightly and retreated respectfully.
