Chapter 315: Xinkou's Great Victory
October 10, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), evening.
Forty miles south of Xinkou, the [***] headquarters located in Guancheng will gather stars.
The commanders-in-chief of the various group armies of the Jinsui Army, the commanders of the Central Army, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Peng, and the commanders of the three main divisions have gathered in the war room, looking forward to the arrival of the time for the general offensive.
It has been seven days since the First Army Corps stationed in Shanxi was trapped near Xinkou.
After seven days of fierce fighting, [***] has occupied all the outlying positions, and the main force of about 30,000 people has been driven into a narrow area of less than ten miles, and its destruction is already ironclad!
"Commander-in-Chief!" General Tang Huaiyuan strode up to Yue Weihan and said murderously, "You must hand over the task of this main attack to our Third Army, otherwise, don't blame me for beating you with a black gun behind your back!" ”
When the battle came to this, General Tang Huaiyuan already respected Yue Weihan.
In the past, General Tang Huaiyuan was not convinced by Yue Weihan, firstly, because Yue Weihan was too young and rose too fast, and secondly, the two had no contact before, and although the battles commanded by Yue Weihan were extremely brilliant, they were obviously not convincing for the [***] generals who did not personally participate in them.
But now, Tang Huaiyuan is convinced, and Yue Weihan's tactical command ability is indeed unmatched.
If he had listened to Yue Weihan's good words and not attacked rashly during the day, the Third Army would not have suffered such a heavy blow!
However, it was precisely because of the fiasco outside Pingyao that Tang Huaiyuan suddenly woke up, and then put down the old soldier's shelf, and began to humbly accept Yue Weihan's suggestions and commands, and the Third Army also fought several beautiful battles in a row.
"You've said so, do I dare not agree?" Yue Weihan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The [***] and the generals of the Eighth Route Army who were present immediately burst into laughter, but Tang Huaiyuan was quite proud.
After a few days of contact, Yue Weihan found that Tang Huaiyuan, Wu Shimin, Fu Zuoyi and other [***] generals were actually very easy to get along with.
These [***] generals are actually relatively pure soldiers in their bones, they don't care much about party politics, but they are full of enthusiasm for the War of Resistance, but their concepts and command ability are indeed a little outdated, and it is no wonder that Stilwell, the American ghost animal, will say that [***] has first-class soldiers, second-rate officers, third-rate commanders and unpopular commanders.

Taiyuan, Yan Mansion.
When Chief Yan was eating dinner with half a plate of old vinegar and a plate of pickled radish, the attendant adjutant Xu Youde strode in, and immediately stood up and saluted: "General seat, the front-line commander has sent an urgent telegram, in another four hours, that is, at ten o'clock tonight, the general attack on Xinkou will begin, you have to set off quickly." ”
"Go?" Chief Yan was confused, "What is Russia doing at the front?" ”
"Uh......" Xu Youde said in amazement, "Commander, this battle of Xinkou is a great opportunity to wash away the shame of the past, as the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater of Operations, how can you not go to the front line to command?" ”
"Oh no, I'm not going." Chief Yan waved his hand again and again, "The front line is under the command of Yue Weihan, what kind of chaos is Russia going to add?" ”
"If the general seat is on the front line, the morale of the soldiers of the Jin army will definitely be greatly boosted, how can it be to add to the chaos?" Xu Youde was in a hurry.
"You, you." Chief Yan pointed at Xu Youde with a smile and said, "Your gaze is too shallow, you know that you can't take a long-term view if you stare at the one acre and three points of land in front of you?" In this world, there are some things that you can't grab, but there are some things that you don't want and they will fall on your head. ”
Xu Youde was at a loss, with his political wisdom, he couldn't understand Chief Yan's philosophy of life at all.
Chief Yan believes in the philosophy of "fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is fighting", and the biggest beneficiary of the victory of Xinkou and the recovery of Shanxi is he, the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, since he has already made enough money on the ground, can he still be guilty of picking Yue Weihan's peaches for the sake of a mere fame like Jiang someone?

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front.
The commander of the North China Front, General Sugi Moto, the commander of the Fourth Army, Tada Jun, the commander of the Second Army, the commander of the Second Army, and the chief of staff of the Front Army, Yukio Kasahara, and others gathered around the sand table to discuss the battle situation, and the atmosphere in the war room was a little solemn, because everyone understood that the situation in Xinkou had reached the last moment.
In the sound of hurried footsteps, Major General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, commander of the aviation regiment directly under the Front Army, strode in.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 1st and 2nd Bomber Groups of the Aviation Regiment have all returned safely." Tokugawa Yoshitoshi suddenly retracted his feet and said to Shanshan Yuan, "However, the Shina people continue to ignite a large number of wet grass piles near Xinkou, and the entire battlefield is still full of smoke, so the bombing effect is extremely poor. ”
"Yagayalu." Shanshanyuan's face suddenly became gloomy.
After the First Army fell into a heavy encirclement, Shanshan Yuan ignored the fierce opposition of General Toshiroku Hata, commander of the Central China Front, and transferred more than 200 fighters and bombers of the Air Corps directly under the North China Front back to North China.
However, the Chinese were too cunning, and actually set fire to a large number of wet haystacks at major strategic points, and the large amount of smoke produced almost covered the entire battlefield, making it extremely difficult for the army aviation to bomb it.
After a long time, Shanshan Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "What about the 1st Division?" ”
Major General Yukio Kasahara said, "The 1st Wing of the Forward Infantry of the 1st Division has advanced to the vicinity of Heikakan. ”
"What, just got to Pingxingguan!?" Shanshan Yuan almost roared, "Pingxingguan is still more than two hundred miles away from Lao County, Yokoyama Yong (commander of the 1st Division), what is he doing?" The dignified 1st Division, the progress was so slow, and he said that the face of this imperial army was all lost by him! ”
Tada, Nishio Toshizo and Kasahara Yukio looked at each other.
It is no wonder that the 1st Division's progress was slow, because the troops transferred to the 1st Division were actually only two infantry wings, and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade directly under the division were not in formation, and the 2nd Tank Wing did not go south to enter the pass because it had to defend against the Soviet Union, in other words, the elite troops of the 1st Division did not enter the pass.
The Kwantung Army also had no choice, because Lao Maozi had too much pressure on them, and his fear of Lao Maozi had been integrated into the bone marrow, because the memory of Lushun Fortress was too deep, and in history, before the signing of the "Mutual Non-Aggression Pact between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union", he never dared to transfer the main force of the Kwantung Army out of the Northeast.

Xinkou, the headquarters of the First Army Corps of the Army.
Like a trapped beast with a wounded head, Kiyoji Kazuki walked into the field hospital with a saber.
Outside the headquarters, the sound of gunfire was like rain, the sound of artillery rumbled, and there was faintly the killing cry of Chinese soldiers, and from time to time there were shells dragging and piercing screams falling in the courtyard where the field hospital was located, and then a huge explosion rose into the air, and in the dazzling firelight, the expression on the face of Kazuki Kiyoji had become extremely hideous.
The female military doctors and nurses in the field hospital suddenly screamed.
Kazuki Kiyoji smiled hideously, and with another wave of his hand, hundreds of devil soldiers had already rushed in naked.
As soon as these devil soldiers rushed into the hospital, they rushed forward directly and pressed the female military doctors and nurses to the ground, and a few of the devil soldiers moved a little slowly, so they turned around and formed a group with other devil soldiers, and quickly took off their military pants at the moment, and nearly 100 female military doctors and nurses were peeled into white sheep in the hissing sound.
The unsightly silver scene was suddenly staged in the courtyard of the field hospital.
The more than 100 devil soldiers had just finished venting their beastly desires, and immediately more than 100 devil soldiers swarmed in.
After changing more than a dozen devil soldiers, the female military doctors and nurses in the field hospital were already dying, but Kazuki Kiyoji still didn't let them go, and with a wave of his hand, the last group of devil soldiers did not hesitate to pull out their bayonets and stab the female military doctors and nurses in the lower abdomen.
It is said that his beast surname has been integrated into their bone marrow.
These devil soldiers almost frantically believe that the ** of the women of this is only able to be enjoyed by them, and should never let the lowly [***] people enjoy their soft bodies, so on the eve of the fall of the First Legion, after they have finished enjoying it, they must not hesitate to send these women to see Amaterasu.
After executing all the women, Kiyoji Kazuki quickly took off his coat, revealing his white shirt, and then took off his military hat again, and took out a "kamikaze" samurai scarf from his bosom and tied it on his forehead.
After doing all this, Kazuki Seiji raised the chrysanthemum saber given by the Emperor again, and his eyes swept over the faces of the more than a thousand devil soldiers who had just finished enjoying the woman, and then roared angrily: "The warriors of the Great Empire, the time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, pick up your katana and go to bathe in the glory of Amaterasu!" ”

Yucheng, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.
At six o'clock in the morning, Chairman Chiang got up and was pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
Mrs. Jiang, who was woken up, had no intention of sleeping again, so she got up and followed into the study, Mrs. Jiang had the heart to persuade a few words, but she didn't know what to say.
Madame Chiang can still understand Chairman Chiang's feelings, this battle of Xinkou is very different from the battle of Xinkou a year ago, a year ago, more than 30 divisions were defeated by the 5th Division of the Yue Army, but this time the Battle of Xinkou, [***] is likely to completely annihilate the first army of the Yue Army stationed in Shanxi!
The annihilation of a legion of the Yue Army in an organized manner did not even dare to think about it before that.
Although the name of the First Army Corps does not live up to its name, only half of the newly formed division and two remnant brigades, its strength is only slightly more than the permanent division of the army, but in any case, this is the establishment of the army corps-level troops, which is definitely a major victory for [***], and for the whole [***] people, it is definitely an unprecedented and great encouragement!
"Commission, Xinkou victory! The First Army Corps stationed in Shanxi was completely annihilated! ”
When Chairman Chiang was restless, Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard, strode in.
