The moment Dong Ku received the latest battle report from the dog, his face was worried. At this time, although the battle is dominated by dogs, but in the long run, with non-stop attacks, the possibility of Charlan being broken is very large. After all, the positions are constantly being destroyed, and the casualties of the fighters will increase because there is no protection of the position. Coupled with the fierce artillery fire of the other side and the large caliber of the artillery, in such a situation, it is unlikely that it will last for a month.

Zuo Boyang and Liu Zhong were also worried, in Heilongjiang, although Junzi's forces were not too right, but Japan had no new tricks, and when they did not dare to use poison gas bombs, their combat effectiveness was left with Bushido, so there was no need to worry.

Tiger head, great victory, ten days and eight days, the Russian team could not cross the river, so there was no crisis. The Rao River and the Mohe River are also well defended, and there will be no losses, but Mongolia is worried.

Dong Kuzhi said, even if he walked directly from Shangqiu, it would be 14,500 kilometers to the position of Hohhot in later generations, and even if he was fast, the speed of the infantry would not reach 100 kilometers a day, and this was still a case of not fighting, if he was fighting, an average of 50 kilometers a day would be fast. Besides, after three days and two days of marching, you must rest, otherwise, how can you have the physical strength to fight? In this way, nearly 2,000 kilometers into Mongolia, no matter how fast he is, the arrival of a month is quite nervous.

But now, he must speed up, otherwise, a month, the dog will not be able to support it.

The three of them were pondering as a group of fast horses rushed along the line.

Dong Ku and the three looked back, Dong Ku saw Xie Jinyuan at a glance, and couldn't help but hesitate to turn the horse's head and jump off the horse.

Xie Jinyuan flew over, flew off his horse in the smoke and dust, and handed Dong Ku a telegram without caring about being polite.

"Huh?"

Dong Ku looked at the message and couldn't help frowning.

The telegram was sent to Zhang Zizhong by Lei Hao, the general of the defending armies of Jincheng and Changzhi in Shanxi. The Japanese army in Jiaozuo suddenly attacked Jincheng in the morning, and at the same time, the Japanese army in Handan broke through Shexian at the same time and advanced towards Changzhi. Between the first message and this one, he fought hard for several hours, but the Japanese offensive was too fierce. In order to avoid being surrounded, he had no choice but to break through to Taiyuan, and Jincheng and Changzhi fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

When Dong Ku read the next telegram, he frowned again, a division of the defenders of Niangzi Pass, because of the armistice agreement of the Japanese army, the precautions were not strict, and this morning, it was attacked by the Japanese army. Although they resisted hard and fought fiercely for several hours, there was only less than one regiment left after the division was at its worst, protecting the division headquarters and retreating to Taiyuan, where Niangzi Pass was lost.

What was the intention of the Japanese army to attack Shanxi? Is it guarded by Taihang Mountain?

Dong Ku pinched the message, his brain teaser racing.

Even if the Japanese army wanted to rely on the mountainous area to hold on, the supply line was cut off. Sooner or later, he will not be annihilated in Shanxi?

Suddenly, something occurred to him. In Shanxi, Yan Laoxi's old nest began to operate weapons manufacturing during the Northern Expedition, and now it has quite mature weapon manufacturing skills and very good equipment. The Japanese army, thinking of taking Shanxi, is self-sufficient, and insists on looking for fighters!

"General Xie. Quickly inform Yan Xishan that the Japanese army is attacking, even if he evacuates, he will also blow up those machinery, and it must not be left to the Japanese. Otherwise, the harm will be endless! ”

Of course, Xie Jinyuan knew about the situation in Yan Laoxi, but he still needed to report to Yan Shang, he didn't have the ability to dictate to Yan Xishan.

Dong Ku was anxious, but he also knew that Lu Daozi was a big matter, not a level, and Xie Jinyuan didn't have anything to say, Yan Laoxi didn't listen to him, he could figure it out with his heels.

Xie Jinyuan left, Dong Ku turned his head and shouted: "No. 5, contact the dark hall and see the movement in Shanxi!" ”

No. 5 was ordered to rush to the confidential truck and began to contact the dark hall to inquire about the situation.

The wolf smoke organization has not been organized for a long time, and it has not been able to penetrate so far, so it has to contact the dark hall to see the specific situation.

Xie Jinyuan sent a telegram to Gu Zhutong, but Gu Zhutong did not say one, two, three, and did not suggest anything to Yan Laoxi.

And Dong Ku, soon there was news, the Japanese army in Xinxiang and the Japanese army besieging Zhengzhou have moved, all entered Jincheng, Shangqiu has been walking here for a day to cross the Yellow River, the route of travel is also Jincheng, and the north.

In the north, the Japanese army has broken through Shuozhou and is advancing towards Xinzhou, seeing that it is about to attack Taiyuan, Yan Laoxi can no longer withstand it, and is retreating one after another, and there is a great danger of being encircled.

"Oh yes! I want to avoid its sharpness, not to fight with the advance army, and when we enter Mongolia, you can turn around and fight in, right?! ”

Dong Ku instantly figured out the meaning here, the Japanese army wanted to enter Taihang, hold Taiyuan, hold Shanxi, and wait for himself to rush to the aid of Mongolia, and after crossing the border, he would kill again!

Thinking about it, Dong Ku took Zuo Boyang and the guard platoon and went straight to Xie Jinyuan's team, and the moment he saw Xie Jinyuan, he didn't explain too much, and personally wrote a telegram and asked Xie Jinyuan to send it to Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang was furious that the Japanese army did not keep its promises, he hesitated when he received Dong Ku's telegram, and then discussed with a few people around him, and in just a few minutes, he took out his attention and agreed to let Zhang Zizhong's troops and Gu Zhu's troops follow the back of the advance army and attack the Japanese army in Shanxi.

At the same time, he told Dong Ku about the offensive lines of Niangziguan and Datong, and the intention was extremely obvious, that is, to follow Dong Ku all the way to Beijing, and then turn to Datong.

Dong Ku had no intention of studying what territory to divide with him, except for thinking about the concession in Tianjin, and the Japanese soldiers and Japanese in the concession, he really had no idea about anything else. The supply line, near Shanhaiguan, is no longer needed, it is enough to carry with the troops, leaving the troops to hold Tianjin and Qinhuangdao, to avoid the Japanese warships outside the warship, he will not take care of the rest of the place.

And the most important thing is that if he doesn't attack Shanhaiguan, then Shanhaiguan will have troops to defend, Lao Zhao, it is already very difficult to fight against Terauchi Shouyi in Shandong alone, and it may be difficult to hold Shanhaiguan again.

Therefore, Shanhaiguan needs to have troops to hold on, since Gu Zhutong and Zhang Zizhong's troops follow the movement, it doesn't matter if they fight or not, it's okay to hold Shanhaiguan. As for whether he can eat the Japanese army in Shanxi, that is his old Jiang's business.

After getting Lao Jiang's reply, Dong Ku didn't stay any longer, and he didn't care whether Yan Laoxi could blow up those machines when he was evacuating Taiyuan, and he didn't have the energy to ask about these for the time being.

Before he could return to the army, No. 5 rode up and brought Dong Ku the telegram he had just received.

Handan, Shijiazhuang's Japanese army moved to Shanxi in a big way?

Dong Ku handed the message to Zuo Boyang. He had already confirmed his previous idea, the Japanese army was to garrison Shanxi, fight too far, and wait for fighters in Shanxi.

Zuo Boyang smiled after seeing it, "Captain, the Japanese army is so lacking in sharpness, can we speed up the march, let them all enter Shanxi, and hand over Shanxi to Lao Jiang, even if Lao Jiang can't eat the Japanese army there, the Japanese army is willing to fall into a lonely place, it is also a certain death, and when we are done, if the Japanese army is not eaten, it will just gather and annihilate it." ”

Dong Ku also laughed, thinking that the Japanese army was stupid and cute, and did not withdraw from Shanhaiguan, but drilled into Shanxi alone, Lao Jiang was no longer good, he couldn't eat them, and it was no problem to defend Niangzi Pass, Jincheng, and Yuncheng, and the Japanese army wanted to break through, which was not an ordinary difficulty.

Dong Kuzhi said that the Japanese hoped that they would cross the border as soon as possible, so that they could breathe, and when he fought with Soviet Russia, he would also recuperate, and after recovering his combat effectiveness, he would stab himself in the back while he was in a big war. Otherwise, how could the Japanese army venture into Shanxi and not even need a supply line alone? It is nothing more than wanting to leave combat effectiveness, waiting for himself to be in the middle of a big war with Soviet Russia, so that he can enter from the direction of Baotou, attack from both sides, and defeat himself.

Dong Ku didn't care about this, now, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was too weak for him, he didn't worry about it at all, even if they were given a winter's time, how strong would they be?

Returning to the army, Dong Ku sent a telegram to Sun Tao, asking Liu Haisong and Qu Jungang to advance alternately, speeding up all the way, raiding with trucks, and crossing the Yellow River as soon as possible when the Japanese army had no intention of fighting, speeding up the march, believing that the Japanese troops in Dezhou and Yucheng would enter Jinan and hold the Yellow River without waiting for them to arrive. Those in the direction of Cangzhou will either withdraw to Tianjin and leave from Tianjin, or they will withdraw from Shanhaiguan, anyway, they plan to give up Hebei and let themselves cross.

On his own side, leaving Liu Zhong to take care of the infantry, he personally led trucks and self-propelled artillery to rush forward, trying to bite off a piece of meat from the evacuated Japanese troops.

With Dong Ku's order, the team immediately began to adjust, the elite soldiers who were having lunch were in front, those who could not get on the car were all on the truck, and the self-propelled artillery was also full of people, rumbling all the way to Shangqiu. Sun Tao also let Qu Jungang take the lead at the same time, leading three divisions and rushing towards Juye all the way.

On the road, there were no Japanese troops, and the speed of the convoy was very fast, more than 40 kilometers in an hour, and in just two hours, Dong Ku rushed to Shangqiu.

The pro-Japanese elements in Shangqiu had already heard of the ruthlessness of the advance army, and with the withdrawal of the Japanese army, they all fled from Shangqiu, and the same was true for those smoke houses, casinos, kilns, etc., but Dong Ku did not spend too much effort, but just searched the residences left by these guys, found a lot of hidden goods, and then rushed forward.

At this time, the Japanese troops in Xinxiang, Handan, Xingtai and other places moved one after another, and the army pulled pots and pans, pulled the looted materials, took those pro-Japanese elements and traitors who followed the movement of the army, and brought the collected young and strong people and puppet soldiers, almost in a hurry, to the nearby intersection into Shanxi.

In Shanxi, the Japanese army was building a defensive line, and at the same time, the army was approaching Taiyuan. As Dong Ku expected, Yan Laoxi saw that he was going to be besieged, and the army had to evacuate Taiyuan in the fierce battle, and retreated in the direction of Jiexiu, in a hurry, the small machinery of the arsenal took away part, and most of the machinery was left in Taiyuan, and it is estimated that it will fight for one more day at most, and when it is evacuated, it will be left to the Japanese (to be continued......
