Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 553 Chief Yan: Wang Chengzhu is really a tiger general!Use a beauty trick to poach him here!

Miyano Toshi, Uehara Junichiro, and Kurai Asan could see it, but Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't see it either.

甚至，随着晋中县城的丢失，以及步兵第9旅团、独立混成第8旅团和独立混成第2旅团、装甲车第3大队、装甲车第1大队相继被重创，以及飞行第1大队被全歼。

Yoshio Shinozuka felt that even if the 41st Division, the 77th Infantry Regiment, and the 96th Infantry Regiment arrived in Taiyuan City, they might not have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

Even if they have the strength to launch a counterattack, at most they can only regain control along the Zhengtai Railway. As for sweeping the Eighth Route Army's deep base areas, it is absolutely impossible to wipe them out or even severely injure them.

Unless another division is invested.

Immediately, Shinozuka Yoshio issued an order: "Order, the imperial army in the remaining 6 strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway will evacuate the strongholds immediately after dawn and enter Shouyang County.

Temporarily under the commander of the 33rd Infantry Regiment, Yoshida Yan, the captain, will guard Shouyang County together! "

"Hi Yi!"

Chief of Staff Miyano Jun nodded heavily, then turned around and left the war room, and went to the communication department to deliver the order in person.

……

8 o'clock the next morning.

Second War Zone Commander's Department.

Yan Laoxi was eating breakfast in the restaurant when an officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulder rushed in from the outside.

This person is none other than Yan Laoxi's attendant and adjutant Zhang Riming.

Holding a document in his hand, Zhang Riming walked up to Yan Laoxi, had a respectful meal, and then reported: "Report! Chief, it's not that the lowly job intentionally interrupts your meal, but there is something important that needs to be reported to you!"

"Oh? What's the big deal? Riming made you so flustered and impatient."

Yan Laoxi put down the half-eaten bun, put his chopsticks on the plate, and looked at Zhang Riming with great interest.

"A secret telegram has just been sent from the direction of Taiyuan. The Eighth Route Army attacked the Wusu Military Station and Wusu Airport in the east of Taiyuan City last night. It not only successfully destroyed the Wusu Military Station and Wusu Airport, but also destroyed all the fighters in the airport. The airport oil depot and ammunition depot.

In addition, this Eighth Route Army also severely damaged the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army who went to reinforce. "

With that said, Zhang Riming respectfully handed the document in his hand to Yan Laoxi.

After reading the document, Yan Laoxi said, "In addition to the 8th independent and mixed brigade that was severely damaged in Fenghuangling the night before, wouldn't it mean that the general reserve of the Japanese 1st Army was disabled by the Eighth Route Army?"

Zhang Riming: "Strictly speaking, it is not only the independent mixed 1th brigade and the independent mixed 8nd brigade of the general reserve of the Japanese 2st Army, but also the 3rd and 1st armored vehicle battalions, as well as the Black Island Cavalry Wing. They were all maimed by the Eighth Route Army!"

Yan Laoxi couldn't help being a little dazed. At first, he was shocked by the fighting power displayed by the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, he secretly regretted not cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to attack together.

If the Hundred Regiments War broke out at the beginning, he would not have chosen to cooperate tacitly with Shinozuka Yoshio, allowing the opponent to withdraw the 77th Infantry Regiment and the 96th Infantry Regiment stationed at the foot of Luliang Mountain.

But if he launched a counterattack against the Japanese army together with the Eighth Route Army, he might have taken his Taiyuan city back by now.

However, it is too late to say anything now, because the 41st Division of the Japanese Army will soon arrive in Taiyuan City.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Laoxi asked again: "Do you know which unit of the Eighth Route Army attacked Wusu Airport?"

Zhang Riming: "It's not clear at the moment, but according to the speculation of the intelligence department, it is likely to be the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Yan Laoxi: "The Second Independent Regiment just formed by the Eighth Route Army again?"

Zhang Riming: "Yes."

Yan Laoxi: "Their leader is called Wang Chengzhu, right?"

Zhang Riming: "Yes, he was also the one who captured Naotomi Hattori, Major General Hattori of the 21st Japanese Infantry Brigade at the Huting stronghold.

In addition, according to reliable information, this person was also the one who commanded the attack on Jinzhong County the night before yesterday, wiped out the Jinzhong defenders, and killed Naomi Hattori, commander of the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade. "

After a pause, Zhang Riming continued: "Speaking of which, Wang Chengzhu is really the nemesis of Naoko Hattori's life."

Yan Laoxi completely ignored Zhang Riming's last words, and muttered to himself: "This Wang Chengzhu is really a tiger general. It would be great if our Jinsui army could have such a fierce general!"

As Yan Laoxi's confidant, Zhang Riming has been following him for many years. He seemed to see through Yan Laoxi's thoughts and asked, "Boss, don't you want to poach Wang Chengzhu?"

Yan Laoxi: "Such a general, not to mention me, even the guy from Chongqing would be envious. If he can be poached, no matter how much money he pays, it will be worth it."

Zhang Riming: "However, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, at best, have firm beliefs, but at worst, the stones in the latrine are smelly and hard. They don't care about money or fame. It seems that it is not easy to dig them out. "

Yan Laoxi: "Where is Zhirou, where is that girl now?"

Zhang Riming: "Boss, don't you object to Miss being a war reporter, saying that it's too dangerous?

So the lady has been sulking at home. "

Yan Laoxi smiled slightly: "It's not impossible to be a war reporter. You go back and tell that girl Zhirou that I have arranged a mission for him. If she can complete it satisfactorily, I won't stop her in the future."

Zhang Riming was stunned: "Boss, don't you want the lady to interview the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"

Yan Laoxi: "What? Wouldn't it be good for Zhirou to interview our heroic troops in the World War II zone, and then announce their heroic achievements to the whole theater and even the whole country, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers in the whole theater and the whole country? "

"This...of course it's good."

Can Zhang Riming say bad?However, he always felt that what Yan Laoxi was thinking was not just that simple.

Yan Laoxi: "Go."

"Yes!" Zhang Riming promised, then turned and left.

As a war reporter, Yan Zhirou naturally knew Wang Chengzhu, and had even followed Wang Chengzhu for a long time. If Yan Laoxi didn't allow her, she would have gone to interview him long ago.

This time, Yan Laoxi took the initiative to ask her to interview Wang Chengzhu. Of course, she was overjoyed. She, who had always been at odds with her father Yan Laoxi, obeyed the other party's order on a rare occasion.

Then, after making some preparations, under the protection of a team of guards, they quietly embarked on the road to the southeast of Shanxi...

Not only Yan Laoxi, but also the chairman of the committee in the mountain city of Chongqing has been paying attention to the battle situation in the southeast of Shanxi, even surpassing the Zaoyi area.

The reason is very simple. The national army in the Zaoyi area is being defeated day by day, and every time it comes, it must be bad news.

However, all the reports from the southeast of Shanxi were good news, which also made the chairman feel a little better.

Yes, only slightly better.

One is that the war situation in the Zaoyi area is really bad, and the other is that.No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, it is still not its own army.
