At the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front in Taiyuan City, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka did not know that he was now being watched tightly by a pair of eyes, and his every move was under the watchful eye of the other party.

For more than 5,000 days, the puppet army left Taiyuan City in a mighty way, and it was cavalry, tanks, and cars marching with mountain artillery in order to speed up the march.

With so much heavy equipment, even if the Japanese army wanted to cover up their whereabouts, they couldn't do it.

So, less than half an hour after they left the city, Chen Zhengxiang outside Shouyang City received the news.

"The little devil of the dog day really looks up to our first detachment, there are more than 5,000 people as soon as they shoot, as well as planes, tanks, and artillery!" Although the other party is a life-and-death opponent, Chen Zhengxiang, who saw the telegram, couldn't help but sigh at the devil's generosity!

"Lao Chen, the Japanese army is menacing, and we are definitely not opponents in a head-on confrontation, do you want to retreat immediately!" The political commissar reminded with a worried face.

"No hurry!" Chen Zhengxiang shook his head and replied.

"Taiyuan City dispatched so many troops for us, and the task given to us by the headquarters is overfulfilled. But there is one point, that is, they have to delay them for two days, until dawn the day after tomorrow, and they can't return to Taiyuan City. If they withdraw like this, they will definitely withdraw to Taiyuan City as well! ”

"For more than 5,000 days, the puppet army is a two-legged rapid march, it will take at least four hours to get here, leave one hour to clean up the battlefield and retreat, and we still have three hours to attack Shouyang!"

"Order the troops, strengthen the attack on Shouyang, within three hours, Shouyang must be taken!"

"I want to take Shouyang City under the nose of the Japanese reinforcements, and use the victory to anger the devils who have come to reinforce me. So that they will want to destroy us at all costs and pursue us! ”

For the first detachment with ten mountain guns, it was not difficult to take Shouyang County.

In the front, because of the need to control casualties, the attacking troops did not attack much, but only used fire and artillery to kill and wound them as much as possible and weaken their defending forces.

Now that they received the order from the detachment commander to attack the city, several regiment commanders who were holding back their anger immediately found the target to vent, and without a word of nonsense, they directly ordered the troops to start attacking the city.

Yuan Dazuo had just left Taiyuan with more than 5,000 people less than an hour before the communications staff officer rushed over out of breath: "Chief of Staff, the Shouyang garrison is in an emergency, the Eighth Route Army has suddenly strengthened its offensive, and the troops have suffered heavy losses, please speed up the march!" ”

"Baga, it must be that Tu Balu already knew that we were reinforcing Shouyang, and then strengthened the offensive!" Raw Osa immediately made a judgment.

Then he asked the adjutant next to him: "How long will it take to continue to speed up and kill Shouyang!" ”

"Sir, it's going to take another three and a half hours!" The adjutant hastened to answer.

Primordial Dazuo only hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision: "Call back the Shouyang garrison, hold on for another two hours, and the Tubalu that attacked them will take the initiative to retreat, let them hold on!" ”

After saying that, Yuan Dazuo urged the troops to continue to speed up.

Soon, two hours passed. The marching native Dazuo had already faintly heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Shouyang.

"Baga, why hasn't the Eighth Route Army attacking Shouyang retreated yet, aren't they worried that we will surround them outside Shouyang City after we arrive at Shouyang?" Raw Osa looked at his watch and asked with a look of disbelief.

As soon as he finished speaking, the communications staff officer rushed over again to report.

"Chief of Staff, Shouyang Garrison Emergency! The troops suffered heavy losses, and the Eighth Route Army was about to enter Shouyang City, and reinforcements were urgently needed! ”

"Call them back, reinforcements will be there soon!" Yuan Dazuo didn't think about it this time, and made a decision directly.

Then he ordered the adjutant beside him: "The troops continue to speed up!" Cavalry squadrons, chariot squadrons, cars with an infantry squadron, immediately reinforced Shouyang. Other troops followed! ”

"Think twice, sir, now the division of troops is likely to be broken by the Eighth Route Army!" The adjutant immediately reminded. You must know that the Eighth Route Army attacking Shouyang has the strength to completely annihilate an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army in a short period of time.

Yuan Osa did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted on the order: "Execute the order!" ”

"If Tubalu really has the guts to attack our forward troops, then I will wipe them out all outside Shouyang City!"

"Don't forget, we are only a little more than an hour away from Shouyang, and even if the strikers are fast, we can stay at most half an hour away. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is, it is impossible to destroy one of our cavalry squadrons, one tank squadron, and one infantry squadron in such a short time! ”

"If they really dare to provoke us, I can just kill them!"

As soon as the chief of staff rushed over to the temporary headquarters of a detachment outside Shouyang City, Chen Zhengxiang knew that it was good news.

"Detachment leader, political commissar, it's in, it's in Shouyang City!"

"Good!" Chen Zhengxiang's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and then ordered: "Notify all regiments to immediately eliminate the remnants of the enemy, end the battle, and clean up the battlefield." Within an hour, we had to evacuate Shouyang. Fighting under the nose of the devil's reinforcements, the troops must do what they order, political commissar, please go to Shouyang City, many of our comrades, as soon as they see something good on the battlefield, they can't move their feet. ”

"Okay, I'll go!" was able to take Shouyang City under the nose of the devil reinforcements, and the political commissar was also relieved. At this time, no one wanted the troops to have problems at the last moment, so without saying a word, they directly took over this task.

Just as the political commissar was about to go to Shouyang, the communications company commander suddenly barged in with a worried face.

"Detachment leader, political commissar, reconnaissance platoon telegram: Japanese reinforcements are coming here with a cavalry squadron, a tank squadron, and an infantry squadron as the vanguard, and they are very fast, and they can reach the outside of Shouyang City in forty minutes at most!"

"Tank squadrons and cavalry squadrons are coming?" The political commissar suddenly stopped, stared at the communications company commander and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, commissar, it's all here!" The communications company commander immediately replied.

For the first time, the political commissar, who rarely took the initiative to give his opinion militarily, stood up: "Detachment leader, I suggest that the troops withdraw from Shouyang immediately, and retreat now!" ”

"The troops have no experience in fighting devil tanks, and they have not even seen tanks in any way. Once you run into the Devil Chariot Squadron, you will definitely suffer a big loss! ”

Chen Zhengxiang frowned and did not speak, and it took a full minute before making a decision.

"No, keep attacking!"

"As for the devil striker, if you can kill it, you can kill it, and if you can't kill it, I'll be hit hard! Starve the faint-hearted, and support the bold. If we can take out the devil striker, we will definitely be able to provoke the devils who have come in for reinforcements. When the time comes, they will chase us after us, and we will have the opportunity to take them around Yangquan in circles, drag them down, and prevent them from returning to Taiyuan City! ”
