Chapter 484: Chu Yunfei is in danger!

Early the next morning.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was talking on the phone with Okamura Ninji to report on the battle situation:

"Hi, Your Excellency General, the intelligence department has confirmed that Lieutenant General Iseki has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and the Lieutenant General's command knife has been snatched away by the Eighth Road."

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji said angrily, "Iwamatsu-kun, what is going on with your First Army, why have you been defeated again and again? ”

"Hey!" Iwamatsu Yoshio wiped a cold sweat, "Your Excellency, we have been decided, the actions of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route in the southeast of Shanxi and the first theater of the China are just illusions, and the attack of the 36th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi is the true strategic intention of the Eighth Road." ”

"Iwamatsu-kun, I don't want to hear your explanation." Okamura Ninji asked coldly, "How many troops do you still have in the 36th Division now?" ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio replied: "At present, there are more than 1,000 imperial soldiers in Heyuan County, more than 300 imperial troops stationed in Anhua County, more than 500 people in Ping'an County, including the 223rd Wing Commander Yoshino Naoyasu Dazuo, have been successfully evacuated, and the baggage wing of the 36th Division has been withdrawn to Xinzhou. ”

At the time of the outbreak of the battle, the baggage wing of the 36th Division was transporting steel bars and cement on the side of Tongpu Road.

Because the soldiers of the baggage wing were equipped with few weapons, they did not participate in the battle and were ordered by Jing Seki to go to New State.

Okamura Ninji said: "So, there are more than 3,000 people in the 36th Division? ”

"Yes!" "However, there are more than 1,000 soldiers in it, and they are surrounded in Heyuan County, and the 3rd Brigade and the 14th Brigade are currently on their way to the rescue!" ”

"Iwamatsu-kun, immediately order the 3rd Brigade and the 14th Brigade to stop reinforcements!" Okamura Ninji said.

As long as the 36th Division is not completely annihilated, then there is still room for turnaround, and if the 36th Division is completely annihilated, then the problem will be big.

After all, since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there has been no precedent for Japanese divisions and regiments to be completely annihilated by the Chinese army.

"But..."Iwamatsu Yoshio was slightly stunned, didn't he save those locust soldiers in Heyuan County?

Okamura Ningji said: "It's nothing, the strength of the Eighth Route in the northwest of Jin is a little beyond our imagination, the 14th Brigade and the 3rd Brigade ran to reinforce, it is likely that before the reinforcements approached Heyuan County, they were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and immediately ordered to give up the reinforcements, Li Yunlong couldn't be around for long." ”

"Hey!" Although Iwamatsu Yoshio was reluctant to give up the more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, Okamura Ninji personally ordered that Iwamatsu Yoshio also have to comply.

Okamura asked again, "Iwamatsu-kun, how is the progress of the "Bo Plan"? ”

Regarding the lure of Yan Xishan, Okamura Ningji is still more concerned.

As long as Yan Xishan can surrender to the Japanese army, the security in Shanxi will be greatly improved.

"Report to Your Excellency." Iwamatsu Yoshio replied, "Yan Xishan has already replied, he promised to surrender the locust army, but there are conditions. ”

Okamura Ninji's tone softened slightly: "What conditions?" ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "He wants the Locust Army to provide weapons, ammunition and food supplies for 400,000 troops, I don't think Yan Xishan is sincere in surrendering the Locust Army, he just wants the Locust Army's war materials!" ”

"I know that." Okamura Ningji said, "Yan Xishan has always been cunning, he can promise to give him some war materials first, but Yan Xishan must publicly announce the surrender of the locust army, and before that, he must not be given a single bullet and a grain of grain." ”

"Hey!" Iwamatsu Yoshio bowed his head and said, "I understand, please rest assured that Your Excellency the General!" ”

"Hey!"

Okamura Ninji gave a few more instructions, and Iwamatsu Yoshio waited for Okamura Ninji to hang up the phone before he put the microphone on the telephone.

After hanging up the phone, Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at Hanaya Zheng on the side and said: "Hanaya-kun, immediately order the 3rd Brigade and the 14th Brigade to stop reinforcing Heyuan County, the 3rd Brigade to return to Datong, and the 14th Brigade to return to Taiyuan!" ”

"Hey!" Hanaya was bowing his head, turning around and about to leave.

At this moment, Takeo Nakamura, a communications staff officer, hurriedly walked in and reported to Iwamatsu Yoshio: "Report to the commander, the 3rd Brigade Regiment Matsuo Yoshio has called, the one who attacked Datong in the second half of last night was the Jin Sui Army, the number is unknown but there are many troops, no less than 5,000 people, and the headquarters, grain depot and arsenal in Datong City have been captured. ”

"Jin Suijun?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio's face changed suddenly, he thought that it was the Eighth Route Army of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region that attacked Datong, but he never expected that it was the Jinsui Army.

Hua Gu Zheng walked to the map and looked at it, and then said in a deep voice: "Commander, the closest Jin Sui army unit to Datong is the 358 regiment, the regiment commander is called Chu Yunfei, this 358 regiment is the trump card in Yan Xishan's hand, stationed in the area of Dagu Mountain and Heng Mountain, about 60 kilometers away from Datong, it must be Chu Yunfei who knows that the 3rd Brigade is leaving Datong, so he took the opportunity to sneak attack!" ”

"Yaga!" Iwamatsu Yoshio suddenly said angrily, "This cunning Yan Xishan, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back!" ”

Yan Xishan had verbally agreed to surrender to the Japanese army, but behind his back, he sent the 358th Regiment to attack Datong, which was simply treacherous.

Moreover, because of this incident, the verbal agreement that he and Yan Xishan had established with great difficulty had to be shattered.

The 36th Division was heavily damaged, and the commander Iwamatsu Yoshio must be to blame, but if he can lure Yan Xishan to succeed, there is a high probability that he will be able to offset the merits.

But this wave of backstabs, there is a high probability that there will be no follow-up to Yan Xishan's surrender.

Hua Gu Zheng said coldly: "Yan Xishan is definitely not sincere in wanting to surrender to the imperial army!" ”

"This Yan Xishan, really damn it!"

Iwamatsu Yoshio's eyes flashed sharply, and he was full of murderous aura:

"Huagujun, immediately order the 3rd Brigade to return to Datong and destroy Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment for me."

"Hey!" Hanaya was bowing his head, and with both feet together, he immediately turned around and walked out, and Takeo Nakamura, a communications staff officer, hurriedly followed.

……

Kenanpo.

Second Theater Commandant's Department.

"Report to the Commander!"

Deputy Commander Yang Xingru hurriedly walked into Yan Baichuan's office with a few telegrams.

Yan Baichuan was holding his hands behind his back, looking at the map, with a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and now the Eighth Route was fighting with the Japanese army again, and the Central Army had also joined in.

It is best for these three forces to fight their brains, so that the Jin Sui army can be safe.

Yan Baichuan turned around when he heard the voice and said with a smile: "Xingru, are you coming to Liao?" ”

Yang Xingru said: "Commander, the Ministry of Communications has just received two telegrams. ”

"Which two telegrams?"

Yan Baichuan picked up the teacup and blew it, looking relaxed, and then took a sip.

Yang Xingru said: "The first telegram is that the intelligence department has determined that the commander of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army was killed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The lieutenant general commanded the news that the knife was captured by the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Oh?" Yan Baichuan was suddenly taken aback, "Jingguan was really killed by Li Yunlong?" ”

"It's really killed." Yang Xingru nodded, and his tone was amazed, "Hirata Kenkichi, Muto Zhang, Shinozuka Yoshio and Iseki Yan, this is already the fourth Japanese lieutenant general who has been killed by Li Yunlong." ”

"It's terrible, it's terrible!"

Yan Baichuan praised: "Today's young people are really unrelenting. ”

When it comes to the Japanese army, Yan Baichuan can't help but think of the fear that in 1937, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army were dominated by the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

Yan Xishan fought all his life, but in that battle he was abused by the Japanese army and doubted his life, he himself did not even dare to defend Taiyuan, and after handing over Taiyuan to Fu Zuoyi, he led his troops.

When Li Yunlong was still in the southeast of Jin, it was the main force of the 129th Division, and Li Yunlong commanded more than 30,000 people to defeat a division in the Eighth Road, which was still within the scope of understanding.

However, after Li Yunlong arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, with the addition of the new second regiment and the independent regiment, there were only three regiments, and he was still so reluctant that he severely damaged the 36th Division and killed Jingguan.

Yan Baichuan continued, his tone regretful: "It's a pity that Li Yunlong refused my solicitation. ”

"Li Yunlong's refusal was expected." Yang Xingru said, "But what surprised me is that Li Yunlong has made so many contributions, and he is still a regiment commander, and from the analysis of this battle in the northwest of Shanxi, the strength of this new regiment may have exceeded 20,000 people, two months ago, after Li Yunlong fought Taiyuan, the new regiment only had more than 6,000 people, and it grew to 20,000 in just two months. ”

Yan Baichuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, the Japanese would be driven out sooner or later.

At that time, Shanxi may not have the surname Yan, but the surname Gong, and the more Yan Baichuan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Let's not talk about that." Yan Baichuan waved his hand and asked, "What is the content of the second telegram?" ”

Yang Xingru handed one of the telegrams to Yan Baichuan: "Commander, this is a telegram just sent by Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment, he led his troops to attack Datong City last night, and now he has occupied most of Datong City. ”

】

"What do you say?" Yan Baichuan Tong Kong shrank slightly, his face was shocked, "Chu Yunfei led the 358th regiment to fight Datong?" ”

……

At the same time, outside Heyuan County, the headquarters of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others were discussing which way to eat the devil reinforcements, or both.

At present, the losses of the new 1st regiment are not large, and the losses of the independent regiment and the new 2nd regiment are also very small, and they have the strength to fight the devils again.

Wang Dehou took the telegram from the telegraph operator, and after reading it, he said: "Regiment commander, I have just received a report from the 6th and 7th divisions that the 3rd Brigade and the 14th Brigade of the Japanese army reinforcing Heyuan County have withdrawn. ”

"Withdrawn?" Li Yunlong said in a disappointed tone: "Iwamatsu Yoshio, this old devil is really boring, let's withdraw, we haven't had a good time yet." ”

The corners of Zhang Dabiao's mouth grinned slightly: "Regiment leader, why don't we go south to fight Taiyuan?" Anyway, the main force of the 129th Division arrived in the Taigu area, attacked Taiyuan from both sides, and killed the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu! ”

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of Lu Yingjun and Yang Jiuping on the side lit up slightly.

Hit Taiyuan, this idea is very good!

Li Yunlong shook his head: "Now is not the time, the last time we fought Taiyuan, there were only a few thousand devils, and now the Japanese army in Taiyuan has at least 20,000 troops, and there is a full cavalry wing, even if we can fight Taiyuan, the price is too great." ”

Wang Dehou said again: "Regiment commander, there is another situation, according to the report of the 6th Division, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment went to Datong yesterday. ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong looked surprised, he refused Chu Yunfei's partnership, but he didn't expect Chu Yunfei to be unwilling to be lonely, and he also got a fight.

"Chu Yunfei's strategic vision is okay." Zhao Gang praised, "Datong is an important military town, the main force of the 3rd Brigade is not there, and the 358th Regiment has a good chance to defeat Datong." ”

Li Yunlong looked at the map, but his eyes were slightly condensed: "Oops, Chu Yunfei is in danger!" ”
