The news of the Eighth Route Army's reconquest of Taiyuan began with a clear telegram sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and then quickly spread like a hurricane throughout the north and south of China.

By noon, the news had already been published in many newspapers, and it was an absolute headline.

Not only the Jinsui Army Headquarters, but even the Chinese and Japanese troops with radio stations, as well as people from all walks of life, all knew that the Eighth Route Army had recovered Taiyuan.

The Chongqing Nationalist Government, naturally, received the telegram in clear code at the first time.

and reported to President Chang Kaishen.

After reading the telegram, Principal Chang immediately lost his temper, scolding the Japanese for being pigs, scolding Yan Lao Xiyang for violating the Yin, missing the fighter, and Niang Xipi...

Meantime.

"Xinhua Daily" published this headline news with an attachment that the Eighth Route Army recruited patriotic young people to the front line to resist the war, attracting many patriotic young people with ideals and ambitions to sign up.

Since the Eighth Route Army launched a major campaign offensive on the Taiyuan and Zhengtai railways.

In fact, the headline of "Xinhua Daily" will serialize the battles of the Taiyuan and Zhengtai railways almost every day, gaining a large number of fans across the country.

For example, the Eighth Route Army surrounded more than 30,000 people from the 21st Wing, 24th Division, and 41st Division of the Fifth Division of the Devil in the periphery of Taiyuan.

For example, near Caidong Village, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was given a blow to the head, and more than 4,000 devils were eliminated.

Also: The Eighth Route Army surrounded 3 divisions and regiments of the devil at Niangzi Pass, plus 2 brigades.

Inspiring, the Eighth Route Army successfully recovered Taiyuan!

……

These are the headlines of Xinhua Daily for more than half a month.

Of course.

The publication of the headlines of the "Xinhua Daily" will be strictly reviewed, and it will only report on the battle situation, and will not disclose the battle plan of the Eighth Route Army in the newspaper.

And it's not a real-time live broadcast, and with the current conditions of the Eighth Route Army, it can't be broadcast live in real time.

Of course, this also allowed some devils to learn about the real war situation in North China through the newspaper.

In order not to shake the morale of the army, the Japanese army generally reported good news but not bad news, and even if the Japanese army lost the battle, it would be said that it had won the battle.

Every time the official media of the Eighth Route Army made a headline and other newspapers and media reprinted it, the attention of the military and civilians across the country was focused on Shanxi.

In the national control area, there was no difference in the limelight.

completely shattered the rumors that the Eighth Route Army was swimming but not attacking.

The Central Daily, founded by the Nationalist Government, was reduced to a secondary media outlet.

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army had recovered Taiyuan, tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated, and the whole country was boiling.

However, the Battle of Zhengtai is not over yet.

The headline serialization of Xinhua Daily is not over yet.

……

"General."

"Traces of battle were found in the woods ahead, as well as more than a dozen killed military horses, as well as the bodies of several of our jade crushed operatives."

About 25 kilometers away from the county seat of Shouyang, a member of the special forces who had gone to the front of the forest to reconnoiter returned to report to Kazuki Yamamoto.

Since Kazuki Yamamoto was promoted to major general, the special service members have called him a general.

"Did you find General Iwamatsu?"

Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes sank, and he asked with an ugly face.

"Nope!"

The operatives looked down and replied.

At that moment, Yamamoto Kazuki rode his horse and ran towards the woods, and more than a dozen agents with MP38 submachine guns on their chests followed one after another.

Kazuki Yamamoto and more than a dozen members of the special forces fled to Shouyang County, where they met the commander of the 40th Division, Aoki Seiichi.

He did not follow the 40th Division, but led the operatives along a path to find Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Finally, in this grove, some traces of the battle were found, as well as the bodies of several of the agents who had been killed.

"Be on guard!"

Kazuki Yamamoto looked around with wary eyes, and several agents around him quickly rode away.

Soon, Kazuki Yamamoto personally reconnoitred the traces of the battle.

Yamamoto looked closely at the bullet holes in the trees, the blood on the ground, the bullet casings on the ground, and the wounds of the operatives from the gunshots.

"General, what did you find?"

Captain Goro Ojiga, who was carrying the radio on his back, asked, but the secret service radio station had been silent to prevent exposure.

"These agents should all be broken to protect General Iwamatsu who has been wounded."

Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice:

"Otherwise, they have all run here, and they will definitely be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Cavalry and go to Shouyang."

"What about General Iwamatsu?" Koga Goro's face changed slightly.

"General Yan Song, he was either captured by the Eighth Route Army, or his body was taken away by the Eighth Route Army." Yamamoto's gaze grew darker and darker.

At this moment, a member of the special forces ran over and whispered to Yamamoto Kazuki: "General, find the Eighth Route Cavalry!" ”

"How many cavalry are there?"

Yamamoto Kazuki's hand grasped the handle of the submachine gun on his chest, and his words were murderous.

Now that General Yan Song's life and death are unknown, most of the special team members he has spent a lot of effort to carefully train are broken, all of which are caused by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, Yamamoto Kazuki wants to avenge this revenge.

"Not less than a hundred rides." The agent bowed his head and replied, "There may be more cavalry of the Eighth Route Army in the back." ”

Yamamoto Kazuki's face froze, if there were only ten or twenty cavalry members of the Eighth Route Army, then he would definitely do it.

But the Eighth Route Army came with hundreds of horsemen, even if it was an ambush, even if he could have taken one as ten, this was not enough for the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

"Retreat!"

Yamamoto Kazuki's right hand subconsciously let go of the gun and gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

I couldn't beat it, I slipped away.

The reporting agent immediately put his hand to his mouth and blew a bird call, then turned on his horse and quickly left behind Kazuki Yamamoto, and the agent in charge of the guard quickly followed when he heard the retreat signal.

……

Five minutes later.

A detachment of heavily armed cavalry of the Eighth Route Army entered the woods.

"Phew!"

The commander of the cavalry company led by him looked around vigilantly and found that something was wrong, so he stopped his horse.

An old soldier turned over and dismounted, came to the ground to look at the fresh horse manure, and looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground, turned to the cavalry company commander and said:

"Company commander, this horse manure is fresh, and the horse manure is pulled out by a military horse that has eaten refined grain, it should be a devil cavalry, judging from the horseshoe prints, there should be more than a dozen horses, and it has been less than ten minutes since leaving."

The cavalry company commander's eyes narrowed and looked in the direction where the devil had left.

"Company commander, catch up and fuck your damn vote?"

The deputy company commander on a military horse on the side was eager to try.

This company is the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

The cavalry of the new 1st and 2nd regiments had already completed the task of pursuing the fleeing devil infantry, and after resting for a night, they received the task of pursuing the 40th and 56th divisions of the devil along Zhengtai Road.

In addition, the political commissar of the 129th Division left a part to clean up the battlefield and led the main force to chase down Zhengtai Road.

"It should be the scout cavalry of the 40th Division." The company commander said in a puzzled tone, "Didn't the 40th Division go in the direction of Yangquan, why did it send cavalry in the opposite direction?" ”

"Could it be that the 40th Division has killed a horse pistol?"

The instructor on the side tentatively analyzed:

"Learn from our Eighth Route Army to fight ambushes?"

"Probably not..."The company commander's eyes froze slightly, "Our mission is to pursue the 40th Division, the battalion commander is still behind, catch up and see what happens!" ”

"Drive!"

As the horse's hooves rolled, smoke and dust quickly rose.

Not long after, the main force of the 1st Cavalry Battalion also arrived, quickly crossing the woods and continuing forward.

……

Kazuki Yamamoto and the special forces under his command are average in riding and shooting, but their riding skills are exquisite.

It didn't take long to get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

"General."

"The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army should be chasing the 40th Division, should we go after the 40th Division and inform Lieutenant General Aoki of this situation?"

Behind a small hill, Goro Koga asked Kazuki Yamamoto, whose face and eyes were cloudy.

"It seems that the Fifth Division and the 28th Division have been eaten by the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto's face was ugly.

Although I had expected it in my heart, when I saw the main cavalry force of the Eighth Route Army moving eastward, I was basically hammered.

"We're not going to chase the 40th Division."

Kazuki Yamamoto took out a map and drew a line on it with his finger:

"Niangzi Pass is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and it is still unknown whether the 40th Division and the 56th Division can reach Niangzi Pass."

"We followed the trail north to Wutai Mountain, and then went east, crossing the North Taihang to Ji Province."

Although they are all dressed as devils, they basically speak Chinese.

With their ability to infiltrate special forces, it is not difficult to go to Hebei Province along this route.

Of course, it is also limited to the penetration of small forces.

The devil's army will definitely not be able to go this way, Wutai Mountain and North Taihang are the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

"Call the 40th Division by radio and inform them that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is coming behind them." Kazuki Yamamoto ordered.

"Hey."

Oshika Goro bowed his head, then turned on the radio and called by radio:

"Moximoxi..."

Seeing Goro Koga calling the 40th Division there, Kazuki Yamamoto sighed in his heart.

A few years ago, the locust army invaded Shanxi, what a beautiful scenery, the kind of vigorous and vigorous realm, all things competing, still in front of us.

But now, the locust army is like a lost dog, chased and driven away by the Eighth Route Army, and it is extremely embarrassed.

Soon, Oshika Gorou finished calling and turned off the radio.

Li Yunlong: Right?

I, Kazuki Yamamoto, will definitely be back.

"Drive!"

After reciting this sentence silently in his heart, Yamamoto shook his horsewhip and led the remaining 10 or so team members to ride north along the path.

……

Cai Dong Village.

The new 1st Regiment, the front headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Dehou held the telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"The regiment commander, the political commissar, the command of the Zhengtai Road ambush unit of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram, and the West Zhengtai Battle has now ended."

"The cavalry units and the main infantry forces are pursuing the 40th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army eastward along Zhengtai Road."

"Also."

"According to the current statistics, the generals who killed the devil in the Battle of Nishi Shota include Lieutenant General Ishiguro Sadazo, commander of the 28th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro, commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the First Army, Major General Masashi Hanaya, chief of staff of the First Army, Major General Masao Miyazaki, commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, Major General Motoizumi Shin, commander of the 14th Brigade, Major General Nakanaga Taro, commander of the 18th Brigade, and Major General Kaneto Yasuda, commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade."
