"Don't say it, Li Yunlong, this stunned boy, really wanted to go ahead of us this time."

The boss said: "We are just thinking about attacking the logistics supply line of the Japanese army, but Li Yunlong, a stunned boy, wants to directly give the Japanese army in Shanxi a black tiger heart." ”

"It's really a good move to play Taiyuan."

"Taiyuan is not only the provincial capital of Shanxi, but also the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army."

"Once Taiyuan is lost, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the situation in the entire Shanxi, and the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, which Okamura Ningji has planned for a long time, will not be able to continue."

"Even if you can't beat Taiyuan,"

"It will also have a huge impact on the Battle of Nakajo Mountain."

"What's more advantageous is that Taiyuan at this time should be the emptiest time for troops."

"So even if they knew that Li Yunlong and they couldn't defeat Taiyuan, Okamura Ningji would definitely mobilize heavy troops to come back, because the Japanese army couldn't afford the consequences of losing Taiyuan."

"The boss is right." The deputy chief of the general staff said with a smile, "That's why Li Yunlong sent an urgent telegram, suggesting that we set up an ambush halfway in advance and wait for the devil's reinforcements to enter the city." ”

"Suggestion? I think he's an order, right? ”

After a pause, the boss laughed again: "Li Yunlong, this stunned boy, this is to transfer me, the deputy commander-in-chief, he is better than me, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army." ”

Hearing this, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff also laughed.

After laughing, the deputy chief of general staff asked again: "The fast track for the devil to reinforce Taiyuan is nothing more than three, the Zhengtai Railway, the Tongpu Railway and the Baijin Railway. ”

"The Tongpu Railway will be handed over to Li Yunlong and them."

"The Baijin Railway was handed over to the main force of the 386th Brigade."

"The Zhengtai Railway will be handed over to the main force of the 385th Brigade."

"Also, after the devils of Lu'an Mansion and Yangquan return to Taiyuan, there will definitely be an emptiness of troops, and the new 1st Brigade, the New 4th Brigade and the New 5th Brigade will just take advantage of the weakness to liberate a few more county towns!"

"In this way, the situation in the southeast of Shanxi can be greatly improved."

"Hmm." The boss said, "I think this plan is very good." ”

The Deputy Chief of the General Staff should immediately convey the operational order.

……

Chongqing Huangshan official residence, battle hall.

For two nights in a row, the battle hall was brightly lit.

Although Chang Kaishen took a nap, his eyes were still red.

What can make Chang Kaishen so concerned is naturally the 200,000 Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain.

These are more than 200,000 elites of the Central Army of the two group armies, and the elites of the first theater are all here.

However, all the news that came from the front line of Nakajo Mountain was bad news, either the defense line of this army had been broken, or the division had been defeated by the Japanese army, and some units could not be directly contacted.

For example, the Ninety-eighth Army, for two days, has not been able to contact.

Tang Zong and several staff officers in the attendant room had already presented the battle situation transmitted from the front line on the map.

Chang Kaishen looked down and saw that nine huge blue arrows were thrusting towards Zhongtiao Mountain from three different directions: north, west, and east, among which the blue arrows in the west were the most numerous and dense.

But the fastest advance was made by the two blue arrows in the east.

One of the blue arrows has advanced to Jiyuan County.

The Ninth Army stationed in Jiyuan had been crushed by the Japanese army.

According to the current situation, the 200,000 troops of Zhongtiao Mountain are enough to choke for six months, let alone hold on for six months.

In fact, Chang Kaishen has already overestimated, according to the current situation, unless a miracle happens, the two group armies on Zhongtiao Mountain will not be able to hold out for even twenty days.

At this time, we can only rely on the intervention of external forces.

At that moment, Chang Kaishen asked Chen Bui: "Yan Ji, what did Tang Enbo say?" ”

"What else can I say?" Chen Bui smiled bitterly, "I have been emphasizing objective difficulties. ”

"This Townenburg, it's always like this at critical moments." Chang Kaishen stomped the floor with a cane, and said, "What did Yan Xishan say?" Will you send troops? ”

"Yan Xishan didn't say that he would not send troops." Chen Bui sighed, "I just asked the central government to make up for the food and salary, and also asked to make up for the losses in the previous battles." ”

"Food, food, food, always food, where does the central government get so much food?"

Chang Kaishen suddenly felt the anger of detachment, and scolded: "Niang Xipi, when I usually ask for food and equipment, one by one is more fanciful than the other, but at the critical moment, they are all shrunken turtles, rice buckets, just a group of rice buckets!" How can the party-state clean up such a rice bucket? There is no one who is worry-free! ”

At this time, Chang Kaishen had forgotten about Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang.

Because he didn't think that the two brigades could play any role at all, Yan Xishan and Tang Enbo's two heavy army groups couldn't save Zhongtiao Mountain, and the two brigades had a fart?

Therefore, Chang Kaishen couldn't think of Chu Yunfei and the two at all.

Just when Chang Kaishen had nothing to do, a staff officer hurriedly came in.

Chen Bui took the telegram and read it, and immediately overjoyed: "Principal, good news. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Chen Bui say that there is good news, Chang Kaishen suddenly perked up, what he has heard in the past two days is only bad news, and finally there is good news? Is there a turning point in the battlefield of Nakajo Mountain?

At that moment, Chang Kaishen asked: "Yan and you tell me quickly, what is the good news?" ”

Chen Bui said: "The only brigade of the Jin Sui Army and the 94th brigade of the Central Army have just sent a joint telegram, saying that their two brigades are preparing to attack Taiyuan and force the Japanese army on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain to come back to help!" ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen was immediately stunned when he heard this.

The dozen or so high-ranking generals present also looked at each other.

Did you hear that right? Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang's two brigades dared to fight Taiyuan? Isn't this a giveaway?

At this moment, the first reaction of the senior generals present was not excitement, but disdain and mockery, saying that these two proud protégés of Principal Chang really didn't know how thick the sky was.

After a long time, Chang Kaishen asked in a low voice, "Yan Ji, what did you just say?" ”

Chen Bui said again: "Chu Yunfei's only brigade and Liang Gang's 94th brigade are ready to attack Taiyuan!" ”

Hearing this, the senior generals in the battle hall immediately whispered, but they were basically cynical.

"Eh, the current offspring cubs are really amazing, two brigades dare to attack Taiyuan, it's really amazing, I don't know how to write the word dead."

"It's really unbelievable."

"Taiyuan is a provincial capital of SX, and it must be heavily guarded."

"Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, there has never been a precedent for recovering the provincial capital, did Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang want to set this precedent? The idea is good, but you have to have the strength to do it, right? ”

"Enough!" Chang Kaishen drank the sneering senior generals.

asked Chen Bui again: "Yan Ji, did Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang say that they are sure to win Taiyuan?" ”

"I didn't say it." Chen Bui shook his head, and then said, "But the telegram said that at least ninety percent sure of forcing the Japanese army to send heavy troops back to Taiyuan from the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain!" ”

"Ninety percent sure?" Chang Kaishen will be skeptical.

A group of high-ranking generals are full of disdain, and only fools will believe it.

Just two brigades attacking Taiyuan can force the Japanese troops on the Zhongtiao Mountain front to come back to help? Talking in your dreams, right? Just the Taiyuan defenders were able to defeat Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang's two brigades in turn.

……

It is unknown whether the Taiyuan defenders can defeat Chu Yunfei's only brigade and Liang Gang's independent 94th brigade, but the Eighth Route Army outside Heyuan County has already defeated the Japanese troops who went out of the city to counterattack.

Because it was the order personally issued by the division commander Miyano Michichi, the captain of the Heyuan Military Police, Hirata Ichiro, did not dare to be a little lazy, and personally ran to the head of the West Gate Castle to take command.

Because of this, Ichiro Hirata was able to see the scene with his own eyes.

More than 20 light and heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely, pouring a dense rain of bullets into the straggler line of the Japanese squad, and even mortars opened fire fiercely, pouring shells into the Japanese fire support positions.

At least two crooked light machine guns were destroyed by eight-way artillery fire.

In the face of such heavy fire, the infantry squad that went out of the city to counterattack only lasted less than five minutes before the offensive collapsed, leaving behind a dozen corpses and fleeing back to the city.

Ichiro Hirata immediately returned to the gendarmerie and sent a telegram to the division commander.

Division and regimental headquarters: The firepower of the Eighth Route Army outside Heyuan County was extremely strong, and the exchange of fire lasted only five minutes, and the infantry squad that I went out of the city to counterattack was severely damaged, so there is no doubt that the Eighth Route Army outside the city is the main force, and it is definitely not a militia.

After Miyano Michiichi received the telegram, he forwarded it to Taiyuan without changing a word.

……

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is a telegram from Anhua."

Hanaya was handing the telegram that had just been sent by the 2nd Guards Division to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

After reading the telegram, Iwamatsu Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "That is to say, at least the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is still outside Heyuan City, and it is absolutely impossible for the militia to have such strong firepower." ”

After a pause, he said: "In this way, the people who stay in Maoli Ridge should also be the main force of the 1st Brigade of the Jinsui Army and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army of China, and the 2nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army should also be the main force of the New 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"That is to say, the Chinese army going south along the Tongpu Highway is a front." Hanaya Zhengdao, "Its intention is to induce the Second Guards Division of Anhua to send reinforcements to Taiyuan, and then the branch army can take advantage of the situation to sneak attack Anhua?" ”

Before the voice fell, the phone rang again, and Hanaya grabbed the phone: "Moses and Moses?" ”

After listening for a moment, Hanaya was silent, "Nani? Are you sure you see it clearly? The Chinese army going south was really dressed in civilian clothes? Not a military uniform? ”

Immediately hung up the phone, Hanaya said to Iwamatsu Yoshio again: "Your Excellency Commander, the call just now came from the Yangzhuang stronghold, saying that they have clearly seen that the southbound Shina army is dressed in civilian clothes. ”

"This should be the militia of the Eighth Route Army, it's just a façade."

"Sodesnay." Iwamatsu Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief, "It seems that it was just a false alarm." ”

At this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto suddenly stepped forward and said: "No, the art of war is real and virtual, and virtual is real, this may be a virtual plan!" ”

"Nani?"

"A real plan?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masashi Hanaya's gazes turned to Ryuichi Sakamoto at the same time.

"Hello!" Takashi Sakamoto was stunned and said, "Your Excellency, commander, this is most likely a virtual plan. ”

After a pause, he said: "Although the Chinese army still stranded in the northwest of Jin is wearing military uniforms, it is fake, and although the southern Chinese army is wearing civilian clothes, it is real!" ”

Hua Gu was turning his face and said in a deep voice: "Then how to explain the counterattack of Heyuan County?" If the Eighth Route Army remaining in Heyuan was not the main force, how could it have such strong firepower? ”

"Simple." Sakamoto said abruptly.

"You just need to reserve a small elite army to do it."

"If Anhua sends an infantry brigade to launch a counter-assault, it will definitely be able to easily defeat the Eighth Route Army in Malan Town or the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army in Maoli Ridge."

"Then let Anhua send an infantry brigade to launch a counter-assault."

Hua Gu Zheng said with a dark face: "I want to see if it is really a real plan?" ”

"It's too late." Sakamoto Takashi said, "The Yangzhuang stronghold is less than five kilometers away from Xincheng Airport, and by the time Anhua sends troops to Malan Town or Maoli Ridge, the Zhina Army along the road south has already surrounded Xincheng Airport, maybe Xincheng Airport has already been breached." ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio's face immediately turned black to the bottom of the pot.

If Ryuichi Sakamoto's judgment is correct, and the Shina Army heading south is true, then the infantry brigade at the Shinjo Airport alone will obviously not be able to stop it, and in this way, the momentum of the corner he deployed before will not only not give full play to its strengths, but will become a weakness, and will be broken by the Shina Army in turn.

Shibata Shibta, the captain of the Ninth Flying Team, was even more anxious.

The last surprise attack on Xincheng Airport by the special forces of the Eighth Route Army has caused their Ninth Flying Squadron to suffer a heavy loss, and until now they have not replenished all their combat aircraft.

At that moment, Shibata Shinyaku: "Your Excellency Commander, I request all planes from Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport to take off urgently and transfer to Datong and Yuncheng airports. ”

Sakamoto Takaichi said in a deep voice: "Not only the plane must be transferred immediately, but the garrison of Xincheng Airport must also immediately withdraw to Taiyuan, if it is only in the face of the attack of one brigade and the army, the division of troops and refusal to defend, and each other's horns is an advantage, but if it is faced with the attack of three brigades or more of the army, the division of troops is easy to be broken by each one." ”

"In this way, it will make the garrison of Taiyuan even more empty."

"Maybe there's no way to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

"Nani?" Hanaya said with a dark face, "Sakamoto-kun, are you alarmist?" Even if a brigade from Xincheng Airport is not transferred back, there is still a fully formed infantry brigade in Taiyuan City, plus the fighters of the headquarters and the gendarmerie, there are at least 2,000 people, not to mention the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, as for the arrival of reinforcements? ”

Sakamoto Ryuichi frowned and said, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I have no intention of arguing with you, but what I want to say is that the Chinese army in the northwest of Jin is different from other Chinese armies!" Whether it is the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the only brigade of the Jinsui Army or the 94th Brigade of the Central Army of China, they all have extremely strong combat effectiveness! ”

ps: This chapter is written to 4,000 words, I really can't write anymore, it has lasted for three months and a month, and I feel that my body is hollowed out.
