The reconnaissance company and the troops of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment rescued Zheng Guan Zilin in a small village, and learned about the situation in Taiyuan from Zheng Guan Zilin.

Although Ge Haifeng repeatedly insisted that Zheng Guan Zilin go to the county seat to rest, Zheng Guan Zilin insisted on fighting with the cavalry after a simple bandage.

The name Sun Weiguo is almost a household name in the scope of operations in the second theater of operations, and after knowing that it was Sun Weiguo's troops of the First Reserve Regiment who rescued him, Zheng Guan Zilin made a decision, that is, he wanted to join the troops of the First Reserve Regiment.

Ge Haifeng naturally would not refuse Zheng Guan Zilin's request, and he was also willing to introduce Zheng Guan Zilin to Sun Weiguo.

It's just that Ge Haifeng saw that Zheng Guan Zilin was injured, and he hoped that Zheng Guan Zilin would recuperate in the county seat and wait for him.

After some arguments between the two, Ge Haifeng reluctantly agreed to Zheng Guan Zilin's request, and he took Zheng Guan Zilin to Taiyuan together.

Taiyuan City, 109th Division Headquarters.

Shigemu Yamaoka, who had not rested all night, stood in front of the dining table at this time, looking at the sumptuous lunch on the table, he did not have any appetite.

The situation in Lan County was not optimistic, and the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, personally sent a telegram urging the 109th Division to speed up its progress, assist the troops of the 26th Division in combat, and flank the troops of the 120th Division.

But looking at Lou Fu County, Yamaoka Shigehou knew that it was impossible for his division to complete the task assigned by Shouichi Terauchi.

Until now, Shigehou Yamaoka still didn't dare to report the loss of the 119 Wing's flag, and he hoped that he could solve the matter.

Of course, don't look at the promise in the envelope that as long as Sun Weiguo returns the 119 Wing flag, he will give up the attack on Loufu County.

As long as Sun Weiguo returns the 119th Wing Flag, Yamaoka Chonghou will immediately launch a fierce attack on Loufan County, and he will completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops.

A field artillery brigade and a mountain artillery brigade belonging to the artillery wing of the 109th Division are ready, and these two artillery brigades will reinforce the infantry in Loufan County at any time.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the chief of staff sent a telegram, Sun Weiguo refused to return the wing flag, he asked us to show enough sincerity to return the wing flag, according to the judgment of the chief of staff, Sun Weiguo is very likely to want to get a batch of weapons, after all, the Eighth Route Army troops are in need of weapons."

A Japanese soldier Nakasa came to Yamaoka Shigetsu, and he looked at Yamaoka Shigehou and reported.

Hearing this, Yamaoka's face became gloomy, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

"Have the reinforcements of the 69th Wing arrived in Loufan County?" Yamaoka asked in a cold tone.

"The Kimura Brigade of the 69th Wing has been reconciled with the Cavalry Wing, and they can be put into battle at any time." Nakasa reported.

Yamaoka Chonghou's eyes looked at the map, his face became heavy, and after a while, Yamaoka Chonghou said in a cold tone: "Contact the Aviation Corps immediately and ask them to send bombers to carpet bomb Lou Fan County." At the same time, a telegram was sent to the chief of staff, and after the bombardment, the troops launched a fierce attack. ”

Sun Weiguo wanted to get weapons and ammunition from himself, but Yamaoka Shigehou was unwilling to agree, and gave weapons and ammunition to the enemy, Yamaoka Shigehou felt that this was the greatest shame, and got reinforcements from Kimura's brigade to Loufu County, and he wanted to continue to try to attack Sun Weiguo's troops.

At the same time, Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.

Terauchi Shouichi was not in a very good mood, and the battle in Shanxi was not very smooth, which filled his heart with anger.

Especially in the 109th Wing, a reinforced wing could not even defeat a reserve regiment that had just been formed, which made Terauchi Shouichi eager to give the commander of the 109th Division, Yamaoka, a few slaps in the face.

And after learning that the 119th Wing had not launched an attack for a long time, Terauchi Shouichi became even more angry, he felt that the 109th Division was simply plotting to kill the lives of the 26th Division.

"Your Excellency Commander, our intelligence department has just deciphered the telegram between the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater of Operations in China and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, according to the deciphered content, the first regiment of Sun Weiguo's reserve in Loufan County is very likely to capture the captain of the 119th Wing, Ishida Jinzang, and ......"

Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo hurriedly came to Terauchi Shouichi, he looked at Terauchi Shouichi and reported softly.

It's just that he hasn't finished his words yet, just hearing the news that Ishida Kinzo, the captain of the Great Zuo Wing, was captured alive, Shouichi Terauchi slapped the table fiercely.

The headquarters became silent in an instant, and the staff officers looked at Terauchi Shouyichi, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"What the hell is going on, a reinforced wing can't even break through the county town garrisoned by that reserve regiment, and now even the captain of the Dazuo Wing has been captured alive, are the 109th Division all a bunch of stupid pigs?"

Shouichi Terauchi looked at Naosaburo Okabe, and he said in a cold tone.

Seeing that Shouichi Terauchi was unusually annoyed, Naosaburo Okabe looked at the message in his hand, and he showed a complicated expression.

He didn't know if he should continue to report that the 119th Wing Flag had also been seized, and he felt that if he told the story, he was afraid that Terauchi Shouichi would be even more angry.

Terauchi Shouichi had apparently seen the telegram in Okabe's hand, he took it and looked at it, and when he saw the words that the 119th Wing flag had been captured, his eyes turned red.

Terauchi Shouichi is very clear about how important the wing flag is to the Japanese troops, since the day the Japanese army was established, there has never been a matter of the wing flag captured by the enemy, Terauchi Shouichi's face turned iron, and he looked coldly at the map.

"How many troops do we still have to be able to move." Shouichi Terauchi looked at the chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, and he asked in a cold tone.

"Your Excellency Commander, at present we have no extra troops to mobilize, the 109th Division is shouldering the task of garrisoning Taiyuan, if their troops are to be mobilized, it is very likely that the Zhina troops will take the opportunity to recover Taiyuan." Naosaburo Okabe said softly.

"Send a telegram to the 109th Division, ask about the authenticity of this matter, if the wing flag is really in Sun Weiguo's hands, tell Yamaoka Chonghou, and seize the wing flag back at all costs." Shouichi Terauchi said coldly.

Okabe Naosaburo just wanted to turn around and leave, but Terauchi Shouichi continued: "If the force can't recapture the 119th Wing flag, let Yamaoka Shigehou talk to Sun Weiguo, we can exchange with them, and the other 20th Division arranged by Sun Weiguo's side should also be used." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Naosaburo Okabe said in a respectful tone.

Terauchi Shouichi's message of inquiry was quickly sent to the headquarters of the 109th Division, and at this time, Japanese bombers were carpet bombing Loufan County.

Shrapnel flew everywhere, and mines and mines buried by the engineer platoon in the city also exploded one after another because of the bombs.

In an instant, Loufan County was like hell, and the smoke covered the entire county.
