The captain of the 119th Wing, Ishida Jinzo, was captured alive, and this incident did not make Yamaoka Shigehou care.

On the contrary, Yamaoka Shigehou was more concerned about the wing flag of the 119th Wing, and in Yamaoka Shigehou's opinion, he would rather the wing flag be destroyed by the first reserve regiment than fall into the hands of the first reserve regiment.

In order to be able to capture back the United Flag, Yamaoka Chonghou sent a lot of troops to Loufan County.

The Japanese troops who received the order immediately began to mobilize, and thousands of Japanese troops began to set out from Taiyuan City and march quickly towards Loufan County.

Shanxi, General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng was standing in front of the map at this time, and he looked at the enemy's situation in the northwest region of Shanxi on the map, and the expression on his face was not very good.

As we all know, Deputy Commander Peng's temper is very hot, and when his bull temper comes up, no one will give face.

"What does Yan Xishan want to do, does he want to see the Japanese capture the whole of Shanxi, so he will be willing? There were four armies of the Jin Sui Army in the northwest of Jin, but what were these four armies doing, they would be defeated when they encountered the enemy, and the Japanese were not hindered by any and connected to the seven counties in the northwest of Jin. ”

Looking at the many Japanese flags marked on the northwest region of Shanxi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng's face became gloomy, and he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed the table hard.

"Vice President Peng, the troops of Division Commander He's 120th Division have rushed over, and I believe that Division Commander He will be able to solve the Japanese troops in the northwest of Shanxi. The Jin Sui army is unwilling to hold these county seats, so we will capture them, and we can develop guerrilla warfare here. ”

The left deputy chief of staff saw that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng's face became displeased, and he smiled and comforted him.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng looked at the map and was silent, the expression on his face was still not very good, and it could be seen that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng was restraining his anger.

The left deputy chief of staff stood aside and smiled without speaking, he looked at the map and pondered.

The situation in the northwest of Shanxi is very clear, the 120th Division is the main force against the Japanese army, and it is not the 120th Division that determines whether the operation in the northwest of Shanxi can be successful, but the first reserve regiment stationed in Loufan County.

If the 1st Reserve Regiment can withstand the 119th Wing in Loufan County, then the 120th Division will be able to solve the Japanese troops in the northwest of Shanxi without worries.

However, once the first reserve regiment is defeated in Loufan County, the troops of the 120th Division are very likely to fall into the front and rear of the Japanese troops, and the consequences are unimaginable, and perhaps the entire 120th Division will be completely annihilated.

It is inconceivable to resist the attack of a reinforced wing of the Japanese army with a newly rebuilt infantry regiment, not to mention the regimental level troops of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the regimental level troops of all factions throughout China, and no unit can confront the Japanese infantry wing.

Even many division-level units will not be confronted by an infantry wing of the Japanese army, so it can be said that placing the first reserve regiment in Loufan County is a risky move.

"Vice President Peng, I know you're worried about the pre-first group in Lou Fu County, but I don't think there will be too many problems there. However, one thing is certain, after this battle, the pre-1st regiment will be re-established. The left deputy chief of staff said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Vice President Peng could answer anything, a staff officer hurriedly ran over.

The staff officer had a telegram in his hand, and he had an excited expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were full of joy.

"Good news, good news, deputy commander-in-chief, pre-a group of good news." After seeing Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng, the staff officer shouted loudly.

Hearing the words of the staff officer, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo couldn't help but widen their eyes, they were still here worried about the situation of the first regiment, but at this time, the first regiment of the reserve was a good news, which made them very incredible.

"Vice President Peng, great victory, great victory, Sun Weiguo captured a captain of the Dazuo Wing for you, and also captured the wing flag of the 119th Wing."

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo took the telegram and looked at it, his face was full of smiles, he handed the telegram to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng, and said excitedly.

After taking the telegram and looking at it, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng's originally gloomy face immediately showed a smile.

"Okay, Sun Weiguo handed us an excellent report card, a big Zuo wing captain, a wing flag, with these two things, the first regiment has made great contributions. Call back to the commander of the 120th Division, no matter how difficult he is, replace the pre-1st regiment in Loufan County, the 120th division can't fight the pre-1st regiment for me. ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng had an excited expression on his face, he looked at the map and said excitedly.

The First Reserve Regiment achieved such a record, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng was very excited, and he decided to replace the First Reserve Regiment in Loufan County.

He knew very well that the situation of the first reserve regiment must be a lot of casualties, so he decided to replace the first reserve regiment and not fight Sun Weiguo's troops.

The left deputy chief of staff looked at the map, with a complicated expression on his face, Sun Weiguo's troops have achieved very gratifying results, but he knows that at present, the 120th Division has no extra troops to be transferred, and if the first reserve regiment is allowed to leave Loufan County, the 120th Division will be in a very dangerous situation.

"Vice President Peng, let's think more about this matter, if the first reserve regiment is replaced, I'm afraid that other troops will not be able to resist the attack of a wing of the Japanese army, what the first reserve regiment can do, other troops may not be able to do.

In addition, we can report this matter to the Second Theater Commander's Department, with such a report card, even if Commander Yan is picking on the door, he should also say that if he can send some troops because of this, it will also be able to reduce the pressure on the 120th Division and the First Advance Regiment. ”

After being silent for a while, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo looked at Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng and said softly.

Hearing the words of the Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng hesitated for a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Send a telegram to Division Commander He, and ask him to transfer some guerrillas from the northwest region of Shanxi Province to replenish the First Reserve Regiment." In addition, in the name of the headquarters, a telegram was sent to commend the first reserve regiment. ”

The left deputy chief of staff nodded, and he began to arrange for the staff officer to send electricity, and as the good news of the first reserve regiment came, the atmosphere here at the headquarters became joyful.

In the regimental headquarters of the first regiment of the reserve in Loufan County, the battalions began to rest and reinforce the fortifications.

With the help of the officers and men of the first battalion, Yin Jinshan's three Type 95 tanks have been driven out, and Yin Jinshan is now taking Xiao Zhiwei to repair armored vehicles.

The artillery of the artillery company began to set up artillery positions on the high ground outside the city, and Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company was sent out to check on the movements of the Japanese army.

Sun Weiguo has always been busy on the front line, he guided the officers and soldiers to build fortifications, and there was nothing to do.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the 120th Division's guard battalion rushed to Loufan County, and the guard battalion of more than 500 people joined the defense of Loufan County.

"It's a plane, get hidden." Shortly after the arrival of the guard battalion, the Japanese army dispatched twelve bombers and began carpet bombing Loufan County.
