Chapter 282: The Cicada Fighting Back (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various!! ）

At the bottom of the eastern slope is a small basin, the flattest and open terrain in the vicinity, and although it is still surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, the large area of these two square kilometers is surprisingly flat. Therefore, the nearby farmers regard this place as a good place for reclamation, and it can be seen from the dense bud rice stubble on the ground that the harvest here is still good.

The 47th Army fought and retreated, and after retreating here, Li Jiayu was about to order the troops to continue to retreat, when the fierce gunfire suddenly remembered in front. Li Jiayu was shocked, as a relatively good commander, Li Jiayu knew that he must have encountered the Japanese army's troops in front of him.

Now there is a roadblock in front and a chase after the enemy, if he can't open the opening in a short time and rush out, then his 47th Army is finished today. However, Li Jiayu is Li Jiayu after all, and the person who can cut the alleged king in the middle of the river where the king banner changes at the head of the city is called a hero.

Li Jiayu, who knew that the road might be hanging today, immediately ordered the troops to stop breaking through and occupy the gentle slopes on both sides of the bottom of the eastern slope on the spot, and the sappers immediately built simple fortifications, and the other troops blocked the enemy, and the whole army stood firm and waited for reinforcements.

At this point, there is no other way. Instead of being chased and annihilated by the enemy, it is better to be a hero who dies in battle on the spot. Besides, don't look at the Japanese army fighting happily now, but don't forget that there is a Chinese infantry army on both sides of the front and rear of the Japanese army, and if the three sides cooperate well, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory.

After receiving the 47th Army's telegram for help, Sun Weiru was shocked that the Japanese army had set up an ambush in the area of Lianying Station and Liushuyan. Moreover, he directly let Liu Enmao's 15th Army directly attack Li Jiayu's Chinese army, which can be described as extremely risky.

The strength of Li Jiayu's subordinate Sun Wei is clear, although the morale of the soldiers is very high, and they have the determination and will to fight the enemy to the death. However, after all, the 47th Army was adapted from the Sichuan Army, and its weapons and equipment were notoriously dilapidated and shabby, and in all the battle sequences of the National Revolutionary Army, only the 18th Group Army under the CCP could compare with it, and such a unit could not withstand the siege of Japanese aircraft and artillery.

Sun Weiru did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Zhao Shoushan's 38th Army to speed up the march. Running to the company camp station, Sun Weiru knew very well the strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi. Since the Japanese were able to draw nearly two divisions to ambush his Fourth Army. Then it means that the Japanese troops in several other directions must be very empty. So at the same time, Sun Weiru also sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander, stating his conjecture and saying that the Fourth Army was willing to feed the tiger with its body, and even if the whole army was annihilated, it would entangle the two divisions of the Japanese army. In any case, it cannot be extricated.

Yan Laoxi knew what Sun Weiru meant. It is to take the opportunity of his other two armies to launch a full-scale attack. After the last time, he turned around and eliminated the two Japanese divisions. But in this way, Sun Weiru's department will be in trouble, and it is likely that he will not be able to fight in one battle.

In addition to being moved, Yan Laoxi also had to feel great admiration for Sun Weiru, a Shaanxi barbarian, and the old man had not forgotten the shame of Xi'an in recent years. He never forgot to suppress and divide the Shaanxi army. At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Sun Weiru, as Yang Hucheng's hardcore confidant, resolutely supported Zhang and Yang, and when he acted that night, he cooperated with Zhang and Yang in the Xi'an Appeasement Office to control the overall situation. During the Xi'an Incident, he served as the convener of the Military Advisory Group, the commander of the Xi'an Martial Law, the head of the Provisional Northwest Military Committee of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and the commander of the 1st Army Corps of the Anti-Japanese Aid Sui.

After the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army was divided, and Yang Hucheng's department was also divided and disintegrated by Jiang, and Sun Weiru became the most powerful senior general under Yang Hucheng. In addition, Chiang's descendants marched into Shaanxi in a steady stream to oppress the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, and the Nanjing government forced Yang Hucheng to leave the army to go abroad for investigation. After Yang Hucheng was forced to go abroad, Sun took over as chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, and the 17th Route Army was reduced to the 38th Army, with Sun as the commander, becoming the main military and political leader of Shaanxi Province.

Originally, Yan Laoxi looked down on the Shaanxi army, which was also a warlord army, because the old foundation of the Shaanxi army was Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army and Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army had fought a feud for more than ten years. Now that the Northwest Army has been divided and disintegrated, Yan Laoxi is of course happy.

However, after the outbreak of the "77 Incident", Sun Weiru led Yang Hucheng's troops to invite Ying to resist the war, Zhao Shoushan led the 17th Division, Xu Quanzhong led the 529th Brigade, and Li Zhenxi led the army teaching group to the anti-Japanese front line in Hebei, Shanxi and other places, and successively participated in the battles of Baoding, Xinkou, Jiuguan and other battles.

However, Yan Laoxi knew better that Lao Jiang's original intention of cleaning up Sun Weiru's troops had not changed, Zhao Shoushan led the 17th Division, Xu Quanzhong led the 529th Brigade, and Li Zhenxi led the army to teach the regiment were all the essence of the Shaanxi army, but they were divided and used by Lao Jiang on the battlefield and placed at the forefront of his well-equipped descendants, with very heavy casualties and no supplementary supplies, and Sun Weiru's troops were less than half compared to when they had just crossed the Yellow River.

Despite this, for the sake of the overall situation of the National War of Resistance, Sun Weiru led the vast number of soldiers and civilians in Shaanxi to actively cooperate with the front line, setting off an upsurge of anti-Japanese support. He spoke everywhere, interviewed reporters, comforted the dead and wounded, agitated against Japan, and encouraged the officers and men at the front to fight for national dignity by hating the enemy. His wife, together with Mrs. Yang Hucheng, took the lead in donating money and materials to comfort the soldiers at the front; All localities in Shaanxi responded one after another, and the activities of supporting the former labor army responded one after another, and the morale of the Shaanxi army was boosted and unprecedentedly high. These Yan Xishan and Lao Jiang, who was far away in Wuhan, were all in their eyes, and the people of the whole country were also in their eyes. Although Sun Weiru was besieged by the main force of the Japanese army this time, he did not hesitate to risk his life, and would rather use his own army to drag the Japanese invaders and create conditions for the recovery of Taiyuan in the second war zone.

Yan Laoxi, who has always been slamming the door, was moved, and he personally called Sun Weiru, asking him to let go of his hands and feet, and the war zone would not treat him badly. After the war, no matter what the result was, no matter how much his Fourth Army lost, the theater was completely rounded, the soldiers died one to make up for the loss, the most weapons and equipment were lost, and one reinforced regiment was also given equipment.

At the same time, Yan Laoxi also called Chen Feng, asking him to immediately send an air force to Liushuyan to support Sun Weiru's department, provide them with air support, and create conditions for the capture of Taiyuan City. And his theater headquarters was also moved forward to Qi County, and he wanted to personally command the whole army to fight.

Yang Aiyuan and Wei Lihuang also received a telegram from Yan Xishan, and Yan Laoxi ordered their two armies to capture Jinzhong and Qingxu at any cost, and then join forces under the city of Taiyuan.

After receiving Yan Laoxi's telegram, Chen Feng immediately ordered Liu Nijia to send a mixed group of fighter squadrons and bomber squadrons to Liushuyan. At the same time, Chen Feng ordered the armies of Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass to immediately increase the intensity of the attack, take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the main force of the Japanese army was pinned down at Liushuyan, seize the two Xiongguan passes on the Outer Great Wall, and then attack the city of Taiyuan.

Chen Feng didn't have full confidence to seize Taiyuan City before, and now Sun Weiru's department is willing to desperately contain the main force of the Japanese army, so what else does he have to worry about, not eating the fat sent to the door is not his Chen style, and he is even more sorry for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line.

Taiyuan. The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

The operational command was in a state of chaos, with the sound of officers arguing, the humming of generators, the ticking of telegraphs, and the sound of staff officers answering the phone to ask questions, turning the entire operational command room into a large vegetable market.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, just intercepted the telegram sent by the China War Zone, Sun Weiru, commander of the Fourth Army of China, sent a telegram to Yan Xishan, commander of the China Second War Zone, asking his Fourth Army to make every effort to drag the main force of the 108th Division of the Imperial Army at Liushuyan to create conditions for other troops in China to recover Taiyuan, and for this he is willing to pay the price of the annihilation of the whole army, Yan has agreed to Sun Weiru's battle plan, and asked Chen Feng, commander of the Eighth War Zone in China, to immediately send a plane to Liushuyan, Reinforcement of the Fourth Army of China, which was besieged by the Imperial Army. At the same time, Yan also ordered Yang Aiyuan's troops and Wei Lihuang's troops to capture Jinzhong and Qingxu at all costs, and to join forces under the city of Taiyuan on the 15th at the latest. Chiyoko Koga reported loudly.

"Sun Weiru? It is remarkable that there are such bloody people among the officers of China. What was the situation on the side of the Xia Yuan Army, and how long would it take to defeat this Fourth Army? Obviously, Sun Weiru's reaction greatly exceeded Umezu Mijiro's expectations, but he was still more concerned about the battle situation of Xia Yuan Kumaya's department, if the other side acted according to the original plan, even if the Fourth Army could not be completely annihilated, he could quickly return to Gujiao and start a war of attrition with the Chinese army.

"Your Excellency Xia Yuan just called to say that they have defeated the 47th Army of China and are encircling and annihilating its headquarters, and now the army is preparing to meet the 38th Army and the 15th Army of China that have come to reinforce it, and please rest assured that in half a day at most, they will be able to completely defeat the Chinese army and never disappoint the expectations of His Excellency the Commander!" Chiyoko Koga said loudly.

"Nani, the 47th Army of China, according to the battle plan of the China people, isn't it the 15th Army of China as the front army to open the way, how can it become the 47th Army of China?" Admiral Umezu Mijiro asked without being angry.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the front army of the people of China is indeed the 15th Army. However, this branch of the army suddenly divided its forces before entering the ambush circle of the imperial army, and the main force bypassed the ambush point of His Excellency Xia Yuan, so His Excellency Xia Yuan had no choice but to let go of this front army of China and turned the object of attack into the Chinese army of China, that is, Li Jiayu's 47th Army. Chiyoko Koga said loudly.

"Baga, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi was kicked in the head by the stupid donkey of Kyushu, doesn't he know that his troops will be surrounded by the people of China in the ravine of China, if the attack does not go well, he will face tens of thousands of troops in China before and after, and in this way, the plan to annihilate the Fourth Army of China has also completely failed. And his stupid actions that disregard the overall situation will completely disrupt the layout of the headquarters, and even drag the First Army into the dark abyss, which is simply stupid. An enraged Umezu Mijiro roared. (To be continued......)
