In the city of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

Agreeing to the request to evacuate from the airport, Aoji Kazuki began to think of a way out for himself, and now that the train station was occupied by the Dragon's Tooth Column, the connection with the reinforcements had been cut off.

Taiyuan definitely can't stay any longer, as the commander of the First Army, Xiangyue Qingji understands that he must evacuate here as much as possible to avoid accidents.

So he said in a deep voice to Hashimoto, who was walking on thin ice in front of him: "Hashimoto-kun, you are very disappointed in me, but for the sake of you and I who have served the empire together for many years, we will not pursue the failure of the railway station defense battle for the time being.

I hope you can show yourself well in the future, and don't disappoint me again. ”

Hearing what Kazuki Qingji said, he thought that he would report his guilt to the Hashimoto group in the local base camp, but he was obviously stunned, looked up at Kazuki Qingji, and made sure that he was not joking, Deng Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Hai, thank you for the general's forgiveness, I will definitely do my best to assist the general." ”

Nodding slightly, Kazuki Qingji said, "Hashimoto-kun, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Hashimoto immediately replied: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being blunt, with the loss of the railway station, Taiyuan has no danger to defend, and we have lost a large number of valuable troops.

Evacuate to Xinzhou and Datong through the Tongpu Railway, and then make another plan. ”

Xiangyue Qingji's heart moved, but he didn't move on the surface and said, "Chief of Staff, do you mean to give up Taiyuan?" As he spoke, he looked directly at Hashimoto, and the guilt-ridden Hashimoto instinctively lowered his head.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, you are all to blame for your incompetence, the situation in Taiyuan has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and now the reinforcements have not yet arrived. Taiyuan lost the last barrier, the troops were insufficient and demoralized, so they could only choose to abandon it. When Hashimoto said these words, he felt guilty and felt pain in his heart.

The evacuation of Taiyuan is undoubtedly the most correct choice strategically at the moment, but it also means that all the industrial assets of Japanese soldiers and businessmen in and around Taiyuan, including his Hashimoto group, will be wiped out.

My heart is dripping blood!

In fact, Kazuki Qingji had already decided to evacuate Taiyuan, and the reason why he temporarily exempted Hashimoto from the responsibility for losing the train station, and asked him how to deal with the current situation, in order to wait for him to give up Taiyuan.

If the base camp wants to settle accounts after the autumn and investigate the responsibility of the first army for the loss of Taiyuan, he will have a scapegoat, that is, Hashimoto's group.

So, pretending to ponder for a while, Kazuki Qingji pretended to be difficult and said: "Then according to your suggestion by Chief of Staff Hashimoto, prepare to arrange the evacuation, remember, you must not make a noise, first secretly organize the evacuation of our headquarters, and then evacuate the expatriates, and the troops defending the city will finally retreat!" ”

Although Hashimoto Qun was a little uncomfortable with the opening words of Xiangyue Qingji, but the current enemy didn't care about it, and bowed his head and said: "Hai, I understand, I'll arrange it right away." ”

After Hashimoto Group finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he almost collided with a communications staff officer who hurriedly ran in, the communication staff officer rank Shaozuo, several levels lower than Hashimoto Group, after seeing the person who came, he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you." ”

Hashimoto had just been spared a military punishment, and he was in a hurry to arrange a retreat, so he was not in the mood to care about this, and when he saw this Shaozuo's hurried expression, he asked, "What is the important thing in such a hurry?" ”

"Yes, sir, the airfield was raided by the cavalry and infantry of China, and it had already been lost, and the garrison and the 3rd Flying Squadron were all wiped out, and none of them were spared."

Hearing the news, Hashimoto couldn't help but gasp, his face turned miserable, and he turned his head to look at Commander Aoji Kazuki who was sitting behind his desk.

Xiangyue Qingji's face was pale, obviously angry, he snorted coldly, and said to Hashimoto Qun: "Chief of Staff, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, hurry up and implement our plan." ”

Hashimoto nodded, turned around and left.

Xiangyue Qingji asked the communication young man: "Have you received any news from the reinforcements of the 108th, 109th Division, etc.?" Where are they now? ”

Staff Officer Shao Zuo hurriedly stepped forward and straightened up and said, "Your Excellency, I am about to report to you, just now we received an urgent telegram from the 108th Division at the same time, and they have learned the news that the first batch of reinforcements was completely annihilated by the Chinese Army.

At present, it has arrived in Qingxu County and is coming at full speed. ”

Xiangyue Qingji nodded and said: "Send a telegram to the 108th Division and the 109th Division, and order them to launch an all-out attack on the Chengnan Railway Station immediately after arriving in Taiyuan to cover the transfer of the military headquarters, as for them, wait for my order to make plans." ”

…………

Chengnan Railway Station, the temporary former enemy command post of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Liu Yidao and Zhou Dasheng returned together and were reporting to Qiao Youhua on their results and the advance of the troops.

"Commander, we have defeated the receiving troops of the devil and the puppet army, and we are currently approaching the field defense position of the devil outside the city wall, and we originally planned to take advantage of the situation to attack and take it in one fell swoop, but it was almost dark, and the soldiers of our two divisions were almost exhausted, so they stopped." Liu Yidao was the first to speak.

Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "Well, you did the right thing, the troops are fighting one after another, although the morale is high, but the body must have dropped greatly, it's time to slow down and recover the body." ”

After a pause, Qiao Youhua continued: "Later, let the cooking squad give you several regiments more food, eat and drink enough, rest well, and after twelve o'clock tonight, use poison gas bombs to attack the Japanese field defense position at night, and strive to take it in one go!" Take advantage of the situation to surround the entire Taiyuan City, in case the devils abandon the defense and break through! ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to use poison gas bombs, Liu Yidao and Zhou Dasheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after glancing at each other, they stood up at the same time: "Yes." ”

After seeing the two leave, Qiao Youhua instructed Adjutant Li Yansan: "Yansan, you immediately send a telegram to the base camp in my name, and order Political Commissar Guo to quickly transfer one or two companies of tank troops to rush to reinforcements, and we can use them in the next battle."

In addition, we will find a way to replenish a batch of 75mm Krupp guns to our front-line troops in order to restore the artillery strength of our artillery regiment. ”

Adjutant Li immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes! With that, he turned and left.

Qiao Youhua beckoned to stop him again, and added: "Also, find a way to transfer twenty anti-aircraft machine guns over, although we have already eliminated the devil's airfield in Taiyuan and killed their fighters, but the artillery suffered heavy losses from air raids during the day today, and it must not be allowed to happen again!" It is necessary to allocate air defense to the artillery units. ”
