At the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

Intelligence staff officer An Teng Takeo hurriedly ran in and said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Report to the general, it has now been clarified that the eighth road attacking Liao County and Yushe is the 129th Division!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes narrowed and asked, "Which two troops are the 129th Division?" ”

"It's still under investigation for the time being." An Teng Wunan said embarrassedly, "However, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route only has the ability to attack fortified positions, and only the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade have the ability to attack. ”

At present, the 129th Division has about 30 regiments, of course, the strongest combat effectiveness is still the 385th Brigade and the main regiment under the 386th Brigade.

Among them, the 386th Brigade has the strongest combat effectiveness, because several regiments of the 386th Brigade add up to 50 mountain and field artillery.

However, the devil did not get the information that the Eighth Route Army had recently added a mountain artillery brigade.

I thought that the mountain artillery of the Eighth Route Army added up to one artillery regiment at most.

In fact, An Teng Wunan did not have 100% intelligence to determine that it was the 129th Division that attacked the two county towns of Yushe and Liaoxian.

It was only judged by the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jinjin, so he did not know the specific number of the Eighth Route Army that attacked these two county towns.

"Ando-kun!" Yoshio Shinozuka said coldly, "The work efficiency of your intelligence department is really getting worse and worse, immediately figure out the eight road numbers that attacked the two county towns of Yushe and Liao County!" ”

"Hey!" Glancing at the commander's face, An Teng Takeo was about to be frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked out quickly.

Chief of Staff Nanshan Hideyoshi said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Commander, the top priority now is to relieve the siege of Yushe and Liaoxian, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has obtained the ammunition warehouses hoarded in Yangquan and Shouyang, and there are also a lot of 75mm mountain artillery on the Eighth Road, and the defenders are afraid that they will not last long!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "What is the best plan for Nanshan-kun?" ”

In this attack on the Zhengtai Railway by the 129th Division, the Japanese 4th Brigade suffered the greatest losses.

The Japanese troops in the large, medium, and small strongholds of the Zhengtai Railway were almost completely annihilated, and the brigade headquarters stationed in Yangquan and Shouyang were completely annihilated, and the brigade headquarters were completely annihilated.

According to rough estimates, the 8,000-strong troops of the Fourth Brigade have broken 6,000 people.

1,000 people were transferred to the battlefield in Central China, and there were 1,000 people in the two county towns of Yushe and Liaoxian.

If such a large number of troops were concentrated, the entire 129th Division and the militia in the base area might not be able to eat together.

However, Tadajun's cage tactics scattered the devils, giving the Eighth Route Army a chance to break them one by one.

Nanshan Hideyoshi said: "For today's plan, now we can only send troops from the direction of Yangquan to help Liao County and Yushe!" ”

"As long as the defenders of Yushe and Liao County can hold out for at least two days."

"At this time, the Eighth Route is already a tired division, and when the reinforcements arrive, they can relieve the siege of Yushe and Liaoxian!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and said worriedly: "In this case, the strength of the reinforcement force will be at least three thousand, and if the troops are too small, I am afraid that they will not be able to come back." ”

"If you only send an imperial army of 1,000 people, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with even Li Yunlong's regiment."

At the mention of Li Yunlong, Yoshio Shinozuka had another severe headache.

At the headquarters of the 4th Brigade in Yangquan, there is a tank squadron, an artillery brigade, and two elite infantry brigades.

The headquarters of the Fourth Brigade not only failed to defeat Li Yunlong, but also put more than 2,000 Japanese troops and Yangquan City into it.

Throughout the Zhengtai Campaign, his Shanxi First Army lost more than 8,000 people, and at least 3,000 of the Japanese warriors killed in the battle were killed at the hands of Li Yunlong.

Moreover, if it weren't for Li Yunlong's blocking of the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade at Lion Rock, and the Fourth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade would have been able to drive the Eighth Route away from the Zhengtai Railway as soon as possible, resulting in the complete destruction of almost the entire Zhengtai Railway now, and it will take at least a year to restore transportation.

It's all Li Yunlong, who deserves a thousand cuts, one day, I will cut off your head and make a specimen and put it on my desk.

"Immediately send a telegram to Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Hirata and order him to send a wing to the Yuliao area to rush to the aid of the Itazu Brigade and the Honda Brigade!"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the killing intent towards Li Yunlong in his heart, Yoshio Shinozuka said.

"At the same time, the telegram ordered the garrisons of Wuxiang, Qinxian, Taigu and other places to immediately rush to the aid of Yushe and Liao County."

"I instruct all the troops rushing to the aid to be cautious, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the Eighth Route and send reinforcements."

"Hayi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi quickly drafted several telegrams, then handed them to the adjutant, who took them to the communication room and handed them to Toshimatsu Kasai, and then sent the telegrams to Yangquan.

……

Because many bridges of the Nantongpu Railway were blown up by the guerrillas.

After receiving the order from Yoshio Shinozuka, Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Hirata led the 37th Division from Jinnan on a rapid march all the way, and it took four days to arrive at the Zhengtai Railway.

However, at this time, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army had reached the strategic goal of destroying the Zhengtai Railway and withdrew from the Zhengtai Railway one step ahead of schedule.

The 37th Division of the Japanese Army was immediately stationed in Shouyang, Yangquan and Niangziguan.

After the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army launched the Tongpu Railway, and after the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region launched the Lailing Campaign, a wing was dispatched to rush to the rescue.

After the outbreak of the "77 Incident", the 37th Division of the Japanese Army was one of the three newly established public security divisions on February 7, 1939 (Showa 14) in order to replace the A type A field division fighting on the front line in China and to maintain law and order and security in the occupied areas for the purpose of maintaining law and order and security in the occupied areas.

It has 3 infantry wings, 1 mountain artillery wing, 1 engineer wing, and 1 baggage unit.

In addition, there are communication teams, field hospitals, epidemic prevention troops, sick horse farms and other units.

In Yangquan, the headquarters of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, General Shinozuka is in an emergency, the Eighth Route Army is gathering the main force to attack the two county towns of Yushe and Liaoxian, and the general ordered our department to send a wing of reinforcements to relieve the siege of the two county towns of Yushe and Liaoxian, and the imperial army of Wuxiang, Qinxian and Taigu will also send troops to respond."

"General Shinozuka instructed the reinforcement troops to be careful of the plan of the eight-way encirclement point to send reinforcements."

The captain of the communications team, Kenjiro Maruda, walked in and reported to Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Hirata with a telegram.

With the humility and fortitude of a Japanese officer, Hirata Kenkichi walked quickly to the map and looked up at the precise map on the wall.

Find the location of the county seat of Yushe and the county seat of Liao County on the map.

"Order, the 225th Infantry Wing immediately assembled, immediately marched south along the road, and galloped to the aid of Yushe and Liao County!"

"Tell Zhenmu Wuzhi Dazuo, be careful of the eight-way encirclement point to send reinforcements!"

Although Hirata Kenkichi felt that there was no need for this, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka specially instructed him that he could only remind him again.

Hehe... It's just a dirt road, and he thinks that a single wing can penetrate the base area of the earth eight roads.

Kenkichi Hirata is confident.

The combat effectiveness of the Fourth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade is really spicy, and the Zhengtai Railway was actually destroyed like this by a group of dirt roads.

Hirata Kenyoshi has been fighting against the Central Army of the National Army in Jinnan for several years, and he has not taken the Eighth Route into account at all.

The 200,000 Central Army was surrounded by three divisions and could not move on Zhongtiao Mountain, believing that the Eighth Route Army, like the Central Army, was also vulnerable.

"Hayi!" Kenjiro Maruta paused abruptly and walked out quickly.

Less than half an hour after Hirata's order was issued, the 225th Wing of the Japanese Army, under the leadership of Zhenmu Takeji Daisa, drove out of Yangquan and rushed along the highway all the way south towards Yushe and Liaoxian.

Not long after the devil's reinforcements were dispatched, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army received information about the devil's reinforcements.

Immediately, the headquarters sent this information to the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade as soon as possible.

At the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, at the forward command post, the brigade commander pinched the telegram and said: "The devil's reinforcements have been dispatched from Yangquan, and the strength is enough for an infantry wing, and the headquarters has instructed us to speed up and end the Yuliao Campaign." ”

Under normal circumstances, the Eighth Route Army would not choose to engage the Japanese army head-on with troops above the brigade, and if it wanted to fight, it would basically be an ambush.

The combat effectiveness of a wing of the Japanese army can easily defeat a division of the national army head-on, and it is not blown out.

For the Eighth Route Army, the lack of ammunition and firepower limited its combat effectiveness to a large extent, so the headquarters was reluctant to engage a Japanese wing head-on.

"A wing?"

"The devil is here to bring us food, if we don't eat the fat meat in our mouths, I'm sorry for the devil's thoughts, brigade commander."

"Let's go eat this piece of fat in a new lump."

Hearing that the devil was coming, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said.

The corners of Chief of Staff Zhou and Deputy Brigade Commander Han couldn't help twitching, the devil dispatched a whole wing, and others were afraid to avoid it, but this thing regarded the devil as a piece of fat in his mouth.

What the fuck is this?

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's a formed Japanese wing, at least more than 3,000 people, do you have a regiment?" ”

Li Yunlong's tone was confident:

"If the brigade commander lends me all your mountain artillery, he won't dare to pack a ticket for all the devils."

"But if you kill one or two thousand devils, then our Lao Li is still sure."

"To put it far, at the beginning of Cangyunling, our new regiment defeated the Bantian United head-on and defeated the captain of the Bantian United."

"Speaking of which, last month in Yangquan, our new regiment wiped out more than 2,000 people from the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade."

"The train is not pushed, the cowhide is not blown, these are real achievements."

"Brigadier, think about it."

The brigade commander stared at Li Yunlong in thought, and then his gaze sank again, looking at the map on the table of the Eight Immortals.

There are troops in the 129th Division that are breaking the northern section of the Baijin Railway, and the devils who came out of Yangquan will definitely not go south along the railway line.

Then it will definitely go south along the highway of Pingding, Xiyang, and Heshun to help.

Seeing that the brigade commander was a little hesitant, Li Yunlong said again: "Brigade commander, as long as the new regiment does this ticket, I can at least get more than 15 tons of medical medicine assistance." ”

"15 tons of medicines, are you sure?"

The brigade commander suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yunlong, breathing a little heavily.

"Brigadier Commander, I'm sure!"

"I'm not going to joke about that."

Li Yunlong's expression was firm.

The brigade commander's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were firm, and his tone was categorical: "Since you are so sure, then I will report to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to give you a play, but you kid want to promise me that you will sing this play well!" ”

Li Yunlong smiled: "Thank you, brigade commander!" Thank you, Brigadier! Brigadier, I'll kneel for you! I promise to sing the play well, if this play is not sung well, I will screw off my head myself and give it to the brigade commander as a night pot! ”

"Fuck off!" The brigade commander scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu can't use such a big night pot as you!" ”
