Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Hutong.

Okamura Ninji focused almost all of his energy on the Nakajo Mountain battlefield.

He didn't want to ask about what happened in Taiyuan, and he didn't have the energy to ask.

But when Seizo Arisue, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, walked into the war room with a telegram, Okamura Ninji realized that it might not work if he didn't ask.

"Your Excellency, General."

"This is the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army to send a clear code of electricity."

Seizo Arisue handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Ninji.

Okamura Ninji didn't reach out to pick it up, frowned and said, "The only brigade of the Jin Sui Army? ”

A mere brigade, or the Jin Sui Army, is not yet qualified to enter Okamura Ningji's field of vision.

"Hello." Youmo Jingsan explained, "It is the 358th Regiment of the original Jin Sui Army, which can be called an elite, and the regiment commander is named Chu Yunfei, but now he has been promoted to brigade commander." ”

Okamura Ningji had no impression of Chu Yunfei, and asked again, "What's the matter?" ”

There are three ways of the end of the essence: "Chu Yunfei issued a clear code telegram, saying that Taiyuan will definitely be captured within three days." ”

Okamura Ninji picked up the pencil and was about to draw a line, when he heard this, his right hand immediately paused in the air, and said in a deep voice: "Taiyuan must be captured within three days?" This person has a big breath. ”

After a pause, Okamura asked again, "How serious is the situation in Taiyuan now?" ”

Tanabe Moritake, who was next to him, said quietly: "It's not optimistic, mainly because of the lack of troops. ”

"Damn it!" Okamura Ninji's face immediately darkened, and he immediately walked to the telephone next to him.

Picking up the phone, Okamura Ninji said with a dark face: "Pick me up from the First Army Headquarters, urgently, please." ”

A moment later, the phone was connected, and a voice came from the other end: "Moses Moses, this is the headquarters of the First Army." ”

"I'm Ninji Okamura." Okamura Ninjihu said with a grimace, "Let Iwamatsu Yoshio talk to me, immediately!" ”

There was a sound of tables and chairs toppling on the opposite side, and then Iwamatsu Yoshio's voice sounded from the microphone: "Your Excellency General, I'm Iwamatsu Yoshio, what are your instructions?" ”

"Iwamatsu-kun." Okamura Ningji asked in a deep voice, "The only brigade of the Jin Sui Army has just issued a clear code telegram, do you know?" ”

"Hello, I just found out." Iwamatsu Yoshio said with respect in his tone, and then said, "But please rest assured, Your Excellency, this is just the whispering of Chu Yunfei, Liang Gang and the like. ”

"Just a child's babbling?" Okamura Ningji said, "Let me ask you, is Taiyuan dangerous?" ”

"There is no danger in Taiyuan." Iwamatsu Yoshio said categorically, "I have ordered the six infantry brigades of Anhua, Yangquan and Lu'an to return to help, and then it will not be a question of whether Chu Yunfei and Liang's troops can capture Taiyuan, but whether they can escape from the internal and external attacks of the imperial army. ”

"Are you sure?" Okamura asked in a deep voice.

After saying this, Okamura Ningji continued: "Iwamatsu-kun, how important is the Battle of the Central Plains, I guess I don't need to tell you more, right?" Although the current progress is very smooth, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, as long as a little negligence, the situation may be reversed 180 degrees, which has been proven many times in Taierzhuang and Wanjialing, so I never hope that there will be such an accident in Taierzhuang and Wanjialing on Zhongtiao Mountain! ”

"Hello!" Iwamatsu Yoshio said, "Your Excellency General, please rest assured, the defense of Taiyuan City is impregnable. ”

"Yo Si." Okamura Ninji nodded happily and said, "Iwamatsu-kun, the battle of the Central Plains is going very well, if nothing else, it will definitely be able to completely annihilate more than 200,000 central troops on Zhongtiao Mountain within a month." ”

"At that time, your First Army will be able to free up three divisions for law and order and regular warfare."

"At this time, the public security situation in Shanxi will be completely improved, and if Shanxi improves, the public security situation in the whole of North China will also improve, and at that time, the whole of North China can become the rear of the empire, and a steady stream of all kinds of war materials and even soldiers will be provided to the Southeast Asian battlefield!"

"All in all, the Battle of the Central Plains is extremely important."

"I don't want anything to interfere with this fight."

"So during this time, your first army must be cautious enough, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault!"

"Hello!" Iwamatsu Yoshio on the other side of the phone said more and more respectfully, "Your Excellency the General is far-sighted, I admire it, and at the same time, please rest assured that Your Excellency the General will be fine, Shanxi will be fine, and Taiyuan will be fine!" ”

"Yo Si." Okamura nodded happily and hung up the phone.

……

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Wei Xilai shouted again and rushed in.

But this time, Wei Dayong and Duan Pengli ignored it.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also continued to nap with their eyes closed.

Little Gray Gray has come to entertain them again, and the little devil hasn't come again, what are you calling for?

"Captain!" Wei Xilai rushed to Wang Ye, gasping and reporting, "Brother Xizi, Brother Xizi just sent back a message from the front lookout post, the devil is here!" ”

"Coming? The little devil of the dog day is finally here?! ”

Wei Dayong, Duan Peng, and Li Yunlong turned over and sat up at once.

Wang Ye was the first to go up from the ravine where he was hiding to the observation post on the ridge.

In order to avoid being discovered by devil reconnaissance planes, more than 4,000 people from the three main regiments of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army were all hidden in the ravines crisscrossing both sides of the pig-killing mouth.

Wang Ye quickly went up to the ridge observation post and raised the six-fold military telescope.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, you can clearly see that Wang Xikui is constantly signing in this direction from the lookout post two kilometers ahead.

"Xiao Wang, what's the situation?"

"How many devils are there?"

"Is there an infantry brigade?"

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie said at the same time.

Wang Ye stared at Wang Xikui's gesture and said, "The strength of the devil is about 1,500 people, including a squadron of cavalry, four 92 infantry guns, and 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns. ”

"Haha, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, we're going to get rich again!" Li Yunlong was overjoyed.

"Lao Ding, look at Lao Li's pleasure." Kong Jie smiled and quipped, "The war hasn't been fought yet, and it's as if these weapons and equipment have already belonged to us, what a thing." ”

"What's that?" Ding Wei said with a smile, "It's a rich man in Shanxi." ”

"Haha, it's really Shanxi's local wealth plan." Kong Jie said with a smile, "I calculate this and that all day long, and I don't even let go of our two old comrades-in-arms." ”

Li Yunlong also laughed when he heard this.

However, just when Li Yunlong and the three of them laughed,

Wang Ye suddenly said: "Commander, the situation is not quite right. ”

"Huh?" Li Yunlong and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, "What's wrong?" ”

"The devil has been rerouted!" Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "They went to the west. ”

"To the west?" Li Yunlong was stunned, "Is there still a road to the west?" ”

"No way." Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "But for the infantry who don't carry heavy equipment or trucks, they can directly climb over the loess plain, it's just a matter of taking a little more time." ”

"Damn, I'm in trouble now." Kong Jie said in a deep voice, "I can't fight an ambush." ”

"Actually, it's not troublesome." Ding Wei said, "Although the ambush can't be defeated, as long as we catch a little, it will be easy to collect this gang of devil reinforcements." ”

"Yes." Wang Ye nodded and smiled.

"These devils have a fatal weakness."

"Achilles' heel?" Kong Jie asked, "What?" ”

"Of course, I'm in a hurry to go to Taiyuan for reinforcements." Ding Wei said, "As long as we grasp this, we can use the scattered guerrilla attacks of the small army to bite this group of devils to death bite by bite." ”

"That's a good idea." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Kong Jie said: "But the devil also has a cavalry squadron." ”

Ding Wei said: "Then let's kill the devil's cavalry first." ”

"It's not just devils who have cavalry, we have too."

When Li Yunlong said this, he turned around and shouted: "Sun Desheng! ”

Sun Desheng, who was lying not far away chewing grass stems on Erlang's legs, turned over and got up, ran to Li Yunlong again, and stood up and said: "Here!" ”

"Three cavalry companies, all under your command."

Li Yunlong said in a deep voice: "Kill the devil's cavalry squadron!" ”

Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but roll their eyes, damn, you Li Yunlong don't have the shame to command our new first regiment and the new second regiment, and you actually let the cavalry company commander under him also command our two cavalry companies? Isn't this a fucking cavalry battalion commander? But forget it this time, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

Hearing this, Sun Desheng was overjoyed.

I am happy to be the commander of a cavalry battalion again, and I am even happier that there are devil cavalry to cut them down.

At that moment, Sun Desheng asked murderously: "Commander, where is it?" Where are the devil cavalry? ”

Wang Ye said: "Lao Sun, you take three cavalry companies to find a place to ambush, our wolf squadron will lure the devil cavalry over, and then you can just cut and kill." ”

"Gotcha." Sun Desheng turned around and left.

Wang Ye turned around and shouted again.

"Wolf Squadron, assemble!"

……

As mentioned above, although the Tongpu Highway and the Tongpu Railway pass through the Pig-Killing Mouth, the terrain of the Pig-Killing Mouth is not how steep it is, to put it bluntly, it is actually a huge ravine washed out on the Loess Plain, which is about more than 100 meters wide and 30 or 50 meters deep.

Shibuya Ichiro chose not to go from the pig killing mouth, but directly turned over the loess plain.

Captain Ozaki Hiroyoshi, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Guards Infantry Wing, questioned: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the order given to us by the headquarters is to rush to Taiyuan as soon as possible, why don't we just go and kill the pigs?" ”

Another infantry captain, Haruji Shino, also chimed in: "Yes, if you go directly from the pig killing mouth, you can save at least four hours or more." ”

"What do you know?"

Shibuya Ichiro said coldly: "What if there is an ambush in the mouth of the pig?" ”

"What if there's an ambush?" Ozaki Hiroyoshi said, "Of course, I hit it directly." ”

"It's easy to say, it's not that easy." Shibuya Ichiro said, "It's been a while since our Second Guards Division came to the Shanxi battlefield, and although it hasn't fought with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army in the northwest of Shanxi, it has fought with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army many times. ”

Ozaki Hiroyoshi and Gray Field Haruji immediately became dumb, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was really fierce.

However, Ozaki Hiroyoshi was still a little unconvinced, and said: "Strong combat effectiveness needs to be supported by sophisticated weapons, the previous 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was indeed very strong, but after breaking through from Shuiyao Mountain, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army lost almost all of its heavy equipment, and now how much combat effectiveness is left?" ”

Shibuya Ichiro said, "That being said, it's better to be careful. ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden gunshot in front of him.

"It's the Spearhead!" Haruji Gray said in a deep voice, "There is a branch army. ”

Shibuya Ichiro immediately shouted, "All squadrons immediately start a battle formation. ”

At the sound of the order, six infantry squadrons quickly deployed, and the heavy machine gun squadron and infantry artillery squadron also began to build positions, while the two baggage squadrons and the headquarters of Shibuya Ichiro were surrounded in the middle.

Cavalry squadrons cruised a short distance behind the headquarters.

The devil's reaction speed was fast, and he was ready for battle in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Shibuya Ichiro had already raised his telescope to observe ahead, and the field of vision on the Loess Plain was extremely wide, and he could see several kilometers away.

Through the six-fold military telescope, you can clearly see,

The Japanese spearhead group had been pinned down by a Chinese army on the Loess Plain, and the two sides were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.

The number of this Chinese army was small, and there were only a dozen or so people in sight, but the guns were extremely accurate, and the distance between them and the Japanese army's top soldiers was at least six or seven hundred meters, but there were almost no bullets.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than ten Japanese soldiers left in the Elite Soldier Group.

And it was suppressed by the Chinese army under two small ravines, and it was in a dilemma.

Then, several Chinese soldiers jumped up from their hideouts and quickly approached the hideout of the Elite Group, presumably trying to get close and throw grenades.

The group of spearheads who were pinned down in the small ditch were apparently also found.

Even two Japanese soldiers raised their guns, ready to stop the Chinese soldiers from approaching.

However, as soon as the two Japanese soldiers showed their heads out of the ravine, the Chinese snipers six or seven hundred meters away opened fire again, and the two Japanese soldiers who tried to stop them were immediately shot in the head and sacrificed their lives for the Empire.

Yaga! Seeing this, Shibuya Ichiro was suddenly half angry.

In addition to being angry, Shibuya Ichiro is also secretly frightened.

The marksmanship of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side is really accurate, could it be the special forces of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?

If it was really the special forces of the Eighth Route Army, it would probably be impossible for the elite group suppressed in the ravine to break through with its own strength.

At that moment, Shibuya Ichiro turned his head and shouted, "Matsuura-kun! ”

The leader of the cavalry squadron, Matsuura Fanji, immediately rode forward and paused on horseback: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff? ”

Shibuya Ichiro pointed to the loess plain in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Expel these soldiers and rescue the trapped imperial soldiers, and the next reconnaissance will also be handed over to your Matsuura squadron." ”

"Hello!" Matsuura Panjile turned his horse and was about to leave.

"Wait." Shibuya Ichiro shouted to Matsuura Fanyoshi again, and advised, "Just expel the Shina soldiers, don't chase too far, the Shina army is very cunning, so as not to fall into their ambush." ”

"Ambush?" Matsuura Fanji said, "How can there be an ambush on this loess plain? ”

"Yaga." Shibuya Ichiro said angrily, "This yang order must be executed. ”

"Hello." Matsuura Panyoshi paused again and went forward with the cavalry squadron.

……

Taiyue Mountain, 386th Brigade Headquarters.

The chief of staff hurried into the war room.

The brigade commander, who was staring at the map, immediately raised his head and asked, "Chief of Staff, how is the situation?" ”

The chief of staff grabbed the enamel tea jar on the table, poured a sip of water, and said: "As we expected, the devils in Lu'an, Yangquan and Anhua have all come to help. ”

"But the devil is more cautious than we thought."

"We have all misjudged the route that the devil might take."

"The devil didn't take the nearest route because he was in a hurry to return to Taiyuan, but would rather spend more time taking a long detour."

"Damn, why did the little devil change sex this time?" The brigade commander said hatefully, "So, the ambush war can't be fought anymore, so you can only change to block the attack?" ”

"Yes, we can only fight to block."

The chief of staff nodded, and said: "In addition, the general department also sent a telegram, asking our Taiyue Military Region to prevent the little devils in the direction of Lu'an from returning to Taiyuan at any cost. ”

"That's as it should be." The brigade commander nodded.

"Chu Yunfei and Liang Gangbu risked their lives to fight Taiyuan."

"Why do we have to help this field with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"Pass my order, the 772nd Regiment, the 16th Regiment, the 17th Regiment and the 18th Regiment will stop the enemy from reinforcing at all costs, and pull the artillery regiment up to me, I can't fuck it!"

……

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss hurried into the war room with his hands behind his back.

I saw that the deputy chief of the General Staff was answering the phone.

"Already blocked the devil's striker? Okay, I got it. ”

Hanging up the phone, the deputy chief of general staff said to the boss: "Boss, the fight is up, the fight is up, the northwest of Shanxi is fighting, the southeast of Jin is also fighting, and Zhengtailu is also fighting." ”

"Good fellows." The boss looked at the map and said, "The whole of Shanxi has been made into a pot of porridge?" ”

The deputy chief of general staff said: "In these three directions, the main force of the 386th Brigade in the Lu'an direction is the easiest to fight, relying on the powerful artillery firepower, an infantry wing of the Japanese army that returned from Lu'an only advanced five kilometers in four hours, and the artillery fire of the 386th Brigade even suppressed the Japanese artillery. ”

The boss smiled: "Chen Gen, this kid, is now very rich." ”

The deputy chief of general staff smiled and said: "Li Yunlong and his three regiments adopted the tactics of ants gnawing elephants, and the devils in the direction of Anhua were also put in a dilemma by them. ”

"Ants gnaw on elephants?" The boss said with a smile.

"Li Yunlong, this kid, has a lot of ideas for fighting."

"Boss, don't praise him again." The Deputy Chief of the General Staff said with a smile.

"This kid really doesn't boast about it, if you praise him, something will happen, it's already a rule."

"I don't praise him, I don't praise him." The boss hurriedly straightened his face, and then smiled again, "Then I don't praise him, I scold him, it's okay to scold him, right?" Li Yunlong, this dog, can always come up with some new tricks at a critical moment. ”
