[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 617: Taiyuan Falls Again (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

After receiving the telegram from Lao Jiang forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Ma Zheng frowned and thought about it for a long time, this matter is really a coincidence, Wilson and others have already set off for China, and according to their agreement, there will soon be a larger batch of supplies from the west coast of the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In order to ensure that this batch of materials can land safely in China, Ma Zheng must control a safe coastline in advance, and even control a deep-water port.

For this batch of supplies, Ma Zheng is brewing a big plan in his heart, and there are really no extra troops to fight on multiple fronts. But now the Second World War Zone is suffering from the frantic attack of the Japanese army, and it will definitely not work without reinforcements.

Leaving aside Lao Chiang's orders for the time being, the war zone alone is closely connected with his defense area, and they are dependent on each other. The Japanese army is now attacking Yan Laoxi's troops, and when they finish cleaning up Yan Laoxi, then the next target is their Suicha Military Region. Once the Jin Sui army is completely defeated, the rear defense line of the Suicha Military Region will be exposed to the guns of the Japanese, and the Japanese mechanized troops will soon hit the northwest of Jin from Xinkou out of Ningwu Pass, and then it is likely to directly attack Helinger, Qingshuihe County, and even Guisui.

At this time, Ma Zheng really has a deep understanding of Hou Shi's very classic words, he is not afraid of god-like enemies, but he is afraid of pig-like teammates. It was easy to help the Second War Zone recover Taiyuan, and almost drove the First Army stationed in Shanxi out of the land of Sanjin. I didn't expect these "friendly forces" in the second war zone to be so ineffective, and the 200,000 or 300,000 troops were defeated by the Japanese army of 100,000 people, what ****** is nothing.

He was a little overnoyed that the more than 300,000 troops in the Second War Zone could not hold a single Taiyuan, especially the fact that many headquarters in the Second War Zone were continuously attacked by the Japanese special combat team, and 4 generals and 42 officers died in less than four days, which is a shame.

Later, Ma Zheng personally sent a telegram to the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone, in addition to the analysis of the current war situation, Ma Zheng even scolded in the telegram that "the commander of the Second War Zone has paste in his head", which made Yan Xishan very faceless.

At this point, Ma Zheng knew that it was useless to be angry. But is that plan really going to be postponed? You must know that once it is postponed, this will inevitably have an impact on the future receipt of supplies from the United States, which are of great importance to the development of the Suicha Military Region.

But now that this thing is out of the file, he is really entangled. After analyzing and thinking all night, Ma Zheng still decided to continue to implement the plan, and to reinforce the second war zone as well, even if all the troops in the rear were evacuated.

On October 22, Ma Zheng, in the name of the commander of the theater, ordered that the Suicha Military Region should immediately enter a wartime state. The huge cluster, composed of the reorganized 1st and 4th Divisions and the artillery brigades, engineer brigades, assault brigades, and cavalry brigades directly under the military region, immediately moved closer to each other and was ready to go south to reinforce the war zone at any time.

In Shandong, Ma Zheng expanded the existing units of the Shandong Military Region, from the original 1st Division and 3rd Brigade to 1st Division and 6th Brigade, and incorporated all the miners who had been rescued from the Jingcheng Coal Mine into the troops, and at the same time recruited many new recruits from the Luxi region, so that the total strength of the Shandong Military Region has reached more than 50,000 troops.

The most important thing is that this time the troops attacked Shimen and captured a large number of weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, and after returning to Luxi, Ma Zheng replenished all these guns and ammunition to the troops, so although these newly formed units have not been trained for a long time, they are very good in terms of weapons and equipment, and they are completely the configuration of the Japanese army's front-line field troops, and their combat effectiveness is still okay.

Since a large number of soldiers were concentrated on the front line, the direct consequence was that the inner line was extremely empty, and the Suicha Military Region had only less than one division of troops stationed on such a long inner defense line from Xinghe to Bayannur, and once the front line of defense was broken by the Japanese army, the consequences would be unimaginable, and this could be described as a challenge for Ma Zheng, who had always been very cautious in using troops.

For this reason, Ma Zheng called Yun Jian and others, ordering them to expand their troops again, and at least 30,000 new soldiers must be recruited to make up for the lack of soldiers on the outside line.

However, to Ma Zheng's dismay, before his reinforcements could depart, the defenders of Taiyuan collapsed.

Due to the urgency of time, and Yang Aiyuan's unit was half-crippled by the Japanese army a few days ago, Yang Aiyuan found that he only found that he had less than 8 regiments of troops under his command, and it was only one and a half divisions when it was fully fought, while the Japanese army attacking the city outside had more than 30,000 people, and there were also a large number of technical arms, such as heavy artillery, tank troops, etc.

In just two days, the troops in Taiyuan City suffered one-third of the casualties, most of the city defense facilities were destroyed, and more importantly, because Taiyuan City was not subdued for a long time, there were still many traitors in the city who had done things for the Japanese army and had not been screened out, but now they began to move, it was really internal and external troubles, and the situation was extremely bad.

On the night of the 24th, the Japanese army parachuted a large group of paratroopers into the city of Taiyuan, and at the same time, tens of thousands of troops outside the city also launched a general attack on the city of Taiyuan, although after a night of hard fighting, the defenders finally repelled the Japanese army, and most of the Japanese troops who landed into the city were also annihilated, but there were still some lurking in the city, and some of them relied on the favorable terrain to fight fiercely with the defending troops.

In such a situation, Yan Laoxi knew that he could not do anything, and if he continued to defend it, he would only increase casualties, and he would even put Yang Aiyuan, a confidant and beloved general, into it. Anyway, the defenders had done their best, and they couldn't hold it and couldn't bury Taiyuan City, so in the end, Yan Xishan reluctantly gave the order to break through. Soon, the big city of Taiyuan was recovered by the World War II Zone in less than a month and a half of the historical city, and was once again occupied by the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, it did not stop attacking, but the North China Front continued to increase troops in the direction of Taiyuan, and the 32nd Division directly under the Front Army drove to Yangquan through Shimen.

At the same time, the 20th Division of the First Army moved south from Qingxu, and the front of the troops was directed at Taigu and Pingyao, and the Fifth Division was rushed to the Xinkou line with the cooperation of tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft and artillery, and the 36th Division of the Japanese Army set off from Taiyuan and attacked all the way to the west, and the front of the troops was directed at Luliang.

With the cooperation of the intelligence units and the special combat team, the Japanese army acted quickly and decisively, and the tactics were rationally applied. The 20th Division went down to Taigu, Qixian, and Pingyao, and the troops pointed directly at Yushe and Wuxiang.

And the troops in the north are also progressing smoothly, and the cities of Xinkou, Jingle, and Dingxiang have fallen continuously, and the attack is like a bamboo, which is extremely strong. For a time, the World War II zone was stormy, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.

The war reports in the second war zone came one after another, and Ma Zheng couldn't sit still, how did the Japanese army become so powerful all of a sudden. Although the combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui army is not strong, it is not muddy, and the soldiers have never been timid in defending the land and defending the country, because this is their Shanxi, their home, and the Japanese army has failed to eliminate them many times in Shanxi. But why did he lose so quickly and so miserably this time, which made Ma Zheng quite puzzled!

In fact, the progress of the First Army stationed in Shanxi was not only very surprising to Ma Zheng, but even the commander of the North China Front, General Tada Jun, was also taken aback. Although they did not take Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army in their eyes from the beginning, this self-confidence came from the results of many battles, whether it was Tada Jun or ordinary officers, they all thought that the Jin Sui army was not a stubborn army, although its combat effectiveness was not much weak, but it had little to do with the elite.

However, the Japanese army also knew that there were not only the Jin Sui Army in the battle sequence of the Second War Zone, but also the Central Army of the Nationalist Government, as well as the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army transferred from Sichuan. In particular, the Central Army of the Nationalist Government still had some combat effectiveness, and if the commander commanded it properly, it could still pose a mortal threat to the Imperial Japanese Army.

Moreover, this time it is the provincial capital city of Shanxi, Yan Xishan's lair, even if he thinks that Yan Laoxi will fight desperately with them, so the North China Front Army Headquarters is also ready to fight a big battle, a hard battle, and a hard battle, I didn't expect that in just one week, the First Army will achieve such brilliant results.
