The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The chief of staff shook his head: "I don't know what Li Yunlong and the others are going to use to attack Taiyuan."

"But they dared to ask about the enemy's situation in Taiyuan, which shows that they are not aimless, and they already have a lot of confidence in their hearts."

"And this telegram was sent by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong together."

"Li Yunlong is courageous, Kong Jie is prudent, and his name is on the telegram, which shows that Kong Jie also agrees with Li Yunlong and Huang Yu's ideas."

"As the saying goes, the orders of the generals are not accepted. Since they have ideas about Taiyuan, the headquarters must provide them with help, and nothing can hold them back."

In view of this, the deputy chief of staff took it seriously, and immediately ordered: "Contact the intelligence department immediately to find out the latest enemy situation in Taiyuan..."

"The faster the better, report to the headquarters as soon as there is news."

…………

Yoshio Iwamatsu at the Shanxi Garrison Headquarters of the Japanese Army is in a very good mood.

The mopping-up troops were so powerful that they captured half of the Eighth Route Army bases in Northwest Shanxi and wiped out several thousand Eighth Route Army bases in just a few days.

Although the mopping up troops also lost thousands of people in the battle, even nearly double the losses of the Eighth Route Army.

But more than half of these battle losses are from the Imperial Association Army, and the real Imperial Army only accounts for less than [-]%.

According to the current offensive rhythm, as long as there are no accidents in the battle situation and no third-party troops join the battle, the final victory will definitely belong to you.

The Shanxi Northwest Eighth Route Army is an opponent that Shinozuka Yoshio and Okamura Ningji have not eliminated. If they are eliminated by themselves, the huge benefits will be enough to allow them to rise up another level.

Dreams are not so easy to come true. As a veteran in the battlefield, Yoshio Iwamatsu knows this truth well.

In order to prevent the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army from receiving foreign aid, the first thing Yoshio Iwamatsu does when he gets up every day is to ask if there are any changes in other Eighth Route Army forces in Shanxi, and today is no exception.

The chief of staff said calmly: "Please rest assured, Commander..."

"The rest of our army is not idle.

"Although they didn't directly attack the other Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, they all stepped up their guard and asked the troops to mobilize elites to attack the Eighth Route Army's bases and harass them so that they don't dare to act rashly."

"As of today, the Eighth Route Army's Taiyue base area and the southeast Shanxi base area have not shown signs of mobilization."

The worried expression on Yoshio Yanmatsu's face did not ease down. Looking at the chief of staff, he continued to ask: "Where is the Eighth Route Army active around Shanxi?"

"The humble officer just contacted the front army headquarters half an hour ago." The chief of staff continued to answer.

"According to their report, the imperial army stationed near Shanxi has not found any signs of large groups of Eighth Route Army entering or leaving Shanxi."

"Yoshi..." Yoshio Iwamatsu finally laughed.

He said happily: "As long as the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army has no foreign aid, they will undoubtedly lose in this sweep."

"The only thing we need to worry about next is mopping up the logistics supply lines of the troops."

"This is the usual combat method of the Eighth Route Army in the anti-sweeping campaign."

"Forcing us to retreat by cutting off our army's logistical supply line."

"Please rest assured, Commander..." the chief of staff said confidently.

"The humble job has prepared two infantry regiments and four regiments of the Royal Association Army to protect the logistics supply lines of the troops."

"It is required that all the supply troops can only march during the day, and must stay overnight in heavily guarded towns after dark, and continue marching after dawn."

"It's just that, the Taiyuan garrison has lost two regiments of the Imperial Association Army."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said indifferently: "If there is less, there will be less, it's no big deal."

"As long as there are no problems with the logistics and supply lines of the mopping up troops, the big mopping up can continue and the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi will be wiped out, and nothing else will be a problem."

"As for the safety of Taiyuan..."

"Don't worry at all..."

"As long as there is no problem with the chariot brigade that came back to help us from the southwestern part of Shanxi, I will not be afraid of any number of troops from the Eighth Route Army."

The chief of staff felt that Yoshio Iwamatsu trusted the chariot brigade too much, which is not good.

When Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were still in Northwest Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka had never dispatched large-scale chariot troops.

As a result, they were all defeated and lost a lot of chariots.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army was also not equipped with anti-tank weapons, but it just won.

If the Eighth Route Army really intends to attack Taiyuan and use Taiyuan as a breakthrough point to rescue the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, a tank brigade alone will definitely not be able to keep Taiyuan.

After hesitating for a while, he reminded Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The frontal battlefield is different from the battlefield behind enemy lines."

"The chariot brigade can kill all sides on the frontal battlefield and chase after the Chinese army."

"When it comes to the battlefield behind enemy lines, there is no objection to this style of play."

"The Eighth Route Army may reimburse one of our chariots for any landmine planted on the road. If the Eighth Route Army really intends to attack Taiyuan, a battalion of chariots is definitely no match for the Eighth Route Army."

"Please take countermeasures in advance."

"No need..." Yoshio Iwamatsu replied arrogantly.

"What you said just now is very correct. The role of the chariot brigade on the frontal battlefield cannot be compared with the role on the battlefield behind the enemy."

"But my defense of Taiyuan with a chariot brigade is not fighting behind enemy lines."

"Who told you that fighting the Eighth Route Army is fighting behind enemy lines."

"Taiyuan is surrounded by plains and there are no mountains."

"As long as the Eighth Route Army dares to attack Taiyuan, it will definitely fight us head-on. The chariot brigade can kill the Quartet on the frontal battlefield and wipe out all the invading Eighth Route Army."

The chief of staff was choked up and couldn't say a word.

I felt vaguely in my heart that the commander was too mythical about the chariot brigade. I wanted to refute him but couldn't find a reason to refute him. I could only suppress this worry in my heart and accept this point of view.

Then he stared at Yoshio Iwamatsu and continued to ask: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The current chariot brigade is arranged at Taiyuan Airport..."

"There is no solid fortification there, and it is easy to be attacked."

"The humble staff is worried that they will have an accident outside the city, or they will be temporarily transferred into the city. Even if the Eighth Route Army comes, they will have enough time to fight."

Yoshio Iwamatsu shook his head again: "The reason why the chariot brigade can match everyone on the frontal battlefield is because they have very powerful assault capabilities."

"You trapped them in Taiyuan City, how can you launch an assault on the Eighth Route Army when the chariot brigade is attacked?"

"Because there is no solid city defense fortification at Taiyuan Airport, the chariot brigade was able to deploy in battle formation at the first time. After the troops were attacked, they immediately launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army, and strangled with the enemy as quickly as possible to defeat them. "

"As for the accident..."

"You worry too much..."

"All the traffic arteries around Taiyuan are controlled by the imperial army. If the Eighth Route Army came to attack us with heavy weapons, they would have to take the road, and they would not be able to leave our sight."

"Do you think the troops we deploy in those important military towns and traffic arteries will allow them to easily kill them outside the city of Taiyuan?"

"Perhaps without waiting for the chariot brigade to make a move, the Eighth Route Army who wanted to attack Taiyuan would be almost exhausted by the blocking forces."
