The main force of the North China Front attacked the 61st Army, dispatching 70,000 troops at one time, and each unit was a well-known unit in the Japanese army, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole of China to the north of Shanxi. In addition, all parties know that the Mongolian army in Ludao has just suffered heavy losses from the 61st Army not long ago, and not only has it lost a complete cavalry brigade, but many other troops have suffered heavy losses, and it stands to reason that this army should now hide in the northern steppe to lick its wounds and wait for the day when it will fully recover, so no one pays attention to the Mongolian army at all.

It was this kind of subconscious neglect that gave the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of. When the tens of thousands of troops of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia were galloping towards Guisui, the Wuhan camp of the Nationalist Government and the headquarters of the Second War Zone were all calculating who would win the most victorious victory between the Japanese army and the 61st Army this time, and it would be better if both could be defeated. And Yan Laoxi had even secretly ordered the 35th Army and the Second Cavalry Army to assemble in the northwest region of Shanxi, once the North China Front Army and Chen Feng became the end of the crossbow, he, the fisherman, would not hesitate to appear.

There are very opinions within the Jin Sui Army about Yan Xishan's behavior, because in the eyes of many people, although Chen Feng is unruly, the 61st Army belongs to the battle sequence of our Jin Sui Army no matter what, and this is very inauthentic, it is completely a kind of down-the-ground behavior, which is very despicable.

But in Yan Laoxi's view, the world and the big Shanxi are the largest, and now his old man's Shanxi has been almost divided, a small Shanxi, not only the Japanese tiger, but also the hungry wolf of the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army, and now Chen Feng, a disobedient junior, occupies 12 counties around Datong, and he doesn't want to find a way. Shanxi is no longer his Yan Laohan's Shanxi.

Now is a good opportunity, as long as it is well used, it is not impossible to drive the Japanese out of Shanxi in one fell swoop, and then take back all the northern Shanxi region. At that time, Shanxi will still be his Shanxi, only with guns, cannons and territory, he Yan Laohan will still be a tiger. Otherwise, it won't be long before he Yan Laohan becomes a kitten who can be bullied.

Of course, Yan Laohan had another plan to order the army to assemble in the northwest of Jin, that is, he was a little worried about the combat effectiveness of the 61st Army, although the 61st Army had created one war miracle after another. However, in Yan Laohan's view, the 61st Army has been fighting vicious battles since it was formed. However, replenishment was limited and the training of troops was inadequate. The most important thing is that this old man learned from Yan Changxi that more than half of the soldiers in the various units of the 61st Army were now converted from captured prisoners, and the remaining part were newly recruited recruits in recent months. There aren't many real veterans.

Yan Laohan studied in Japan when he was young. Enrolled in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He was a classmate of senior Japanese officers such as Seishiro Itagaki and others, so he had some understanding of various units of the Japanese army, so he knew very well what the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army attacking Chen Feng's department this time was. They are all permanent units of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is first-class even if they look at the world.

Based on these factors, Yan Laohan did not think that the 61st Army would be as smooth as before, and if he defeated the Japanese army, he would not think about it, and a draw would already be considered a miracle. Therefore, he used heavy troops in the northwest of Jin, and once the defeat of the 61st Army was revealed, the large army of the Jin Sui Army would be stationed in the north of Jin as soon as possible. Of course, even if there is still a little strength in the 61st Army, the Jin Sui Army will definitely not act.

The Nationalist Government's mind is similar to that of Yan Laohan, but because the Nationalist Government is not strong enough for the war in the north, Yan Laohan's nest is in Shanxi, and his desire to meddle in the war in Shanxi is just a matter of one sentence, but Lao Jiang can't do it, the Nationalist Government has almost no garrisons in the five provinces and cities in North China, and it is very difficult to rely on the troops of more than ten divisions in Jinzhong and Jinnan to protect themselves, let alone forge ahead.

At a time when the Japanese Army's North China Front and the Mongolian Army were making concerted efforts to plot against the north, the Nationalist Government, from the central government to the localities, intrigued and calculated with each other, and I have to say that this is the sorrow of a country and the sorrow of a nation.

After two days and one night of rapid marching, the vanguard of the Japanese army had passed through the hinterland of the Gegentala steppe and reached the Wuchuan area north of Qingcheng, which was less than 50 kilometers away from Qingcheng and Guisui.

No one thought that the troops stationed in Mongolia would act at this time, and Chen Feng himself did not expect it. He expected that the garrison in Mongolia might take action, but he believed that the greatest possibility of the garrison in Mongolia was to cooperate with the North China Front to attack his place, and if the garrison attacked from the south to the north, the 61st Army would be attacked by the enemy, and the chances of victory of the Japanese army would be greatly increased, so Chen Feng did not use the 222nd Division, completely to guard against the garrison army.

Winter mornings are a bit cold, especially in the north, where a night of wind and snow silence everything. Even though it was half past seven, there was still no one on the street, and it was empty. At this time, a group of soldiers armed with spears suddenly appeared at the end of the street and walked towards the north gate of Qingcheng.

The number of soldiers in this group was not large, less than forty, but each of them had a murderous look on their faces, which made people dare not look at them directly.

"Captain, where are the prince's troops?" A tall man asked the captain in Mongolian.

"An hour ago, the prince sent someone to inform me, saying that the army had arrived at Majiadian, and the time should be almost up." The captain said in a deep voice.

"I hope that the group of grandsons guarding the city gate know each other, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for attacking them." The big man laughed wildly.

"Geert, don't be careless, there will usually be a company of garrisons at the city gate, we have to be careful." The captain admonished.

"Captain, you're too careful, who doesn't sleep in the bed in this ghost weather, you see the city gate is empty, and those guys guarding the city are sneaking back to sleep on the eighth floor." Geert Road.

Soon the small army arrived at the city gate, and Geert guessed it, except for the two unlucky ones who slept soundly, there was no one else at the city gate. Soon the two unlucky ones were dealt with by this small force, and one of the northern gates of Nuoda was thus controlled.

"Send a signal to the prince!"

At this time, the Japanese puppet army, which had quietly moved outside Qingcheng City, saw the signal, and immediately stopped hiding its figure and rushed towards the north gate.

At eight o'clock, Qingcheng was successfully occupied by the Japanese army, and more than 17,000 people from the 1st Suiyuan Garrison Division, the 9th Security Brigade, and the 2nd Railway Security Regiment were killed. After a burst of gunfire, when the citizens of Guisui went out again, they found that the city had been replaced with a Japanese dogskin plaster flag, and a group of loaded Japanese troops were clearing the city of remnants.

After the easy capture of Guisui, the commander of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Hou Gong Chun, ordered his troops to divide into three routes, one route was the commander of the 26th Division, the old brigade commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 26th Division, Kuroda Shigetoku, who commanded the men and horses of the headquarters and a cavalry division of the puppet army to immediately attack Damaoqi and Guyang County along Wuchuan. The Second Route Army, commanded by Major General Seiichiro Yuhara, commander of the 15th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, led the men and horses of the headquarters and a cavalry division and an infantry division of the puppet army to attack westward all the way to Suiximen, and the troops pointed directly at Baotou, an important town in northern Saibei. The third route was to be commanded by Lieutenant General Matsui, commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, leading the main force of the Fourth Division and an infantry division of the puppet army out of Suidongmen, attacking all the way to the west, and aiming directly at Jining, the core control area of the 61st Army.

Due to the assistance of traitors and ghosts, coupled with the lax discipline of the Guisui garrison, the entire Guisui City fell into the hands of the Japanese very quickly and easily, so that the garrison commander of Guisui became a prisoner of the Japanese before he even had time to send a telegram asking for help, including the headquarters of the prefect of the Second World War Zone, the provincial capital city of Guisui that everyone did not know about Suiyuan.

In the next half day, the Japanese quickly captured Chasuqi, Salaqi, Tuoketuo County, Helinger, Wuchuan, Guyang, Damaoqi, Zhuozi County, and Baotou, and Fu Zuoyi's two divisions and three brigades left behind in Suiyuan were completely lost in just half a day, and they lost control of Suizhong and Suidong.

After receiving the news, the Second World War Zone was suddenly chaotic, although Yan Laoxi has always adopted a strategy of focusing on Shanxi and ignoring Suiyuan, but it does not mean that this old man can accept others to snatch Suiyuan. In just half a day, the Suiyuan defenders were completely lost, and the two garrison divisions and three security brigades were all annihilated by the Japanese puppet army, except for the Baotou garrison division, which broke through with less than one brigade.

Originally, Fu Zuoyi, chairman of Suiyuan Province and commander-in-chief of the Seventh Group Army, asked for battle, hoping that Yan Laohan and Marshal Yan would allow him to lead his troops to recover Suiyuan, but Yan Laohan comprehensively compared the troops in his hands, and finally reluctantly chose to give up. The matter has come to this point, and the old man can only pinch his nose and admit it.

More than 30,000 people of the main force of the Fourth Division had already captured Zhuozishan County at one o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th, and the army was rushing in the direction of Jining. At this point, the 61st Army had the headquarters of Yamashita Fengwen in the east, the 5th and 12th divisions of the Japanese army in the south, and the 4th Division in the west.

The World War II zone was chaotic, and the Wuhan camp panicked. When the Military Unification Bureau reported the latest progress of the war situation in the north to the old man, even though the old man did not have a very high level of operational command, he knew that the 61st Army was probably finished this time. To be honest, the old man regrets it a little now, the reason why he targeted Chen Feng was that he wanted the 61st Army, not that he wanted this army to be wiped out by the Japanese.

No matter how unruly Chen Feng is and how he does not listen to greetings, he is a Chinese after all, and he is also a patriotic Chinese, and the 61st Army under his leadership belongs to the national defense strength of the Republic of China. I am afraid that from now on, the 61st Army will completely disappear from the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, which is really self-inflicted. (To be continued.)
