I am helping

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't fall asleep just after sleeping for a while, and his right eyelid kept twitching.

Yoshio Iwamatsu is not Yoshio Shinozuka, he kind of believes in Feng Shui.

As the saying goes, the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster. Is there something bad going to happen today?
He simply didn't sleep, and came to the First Army Operations Hall, where the deputy chief of staff Masao Miyazaki was on duty, and Hanagu Masa, who was on duty during the second half of the night, had already gone to rest.

When Masao Miyazaki and a group of combat staff saw Yoshio Iwamatsu walking in, they quickly bowed their heads to him.

Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, and then looked at Masao Miyazaki and asked, "Where is the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route? Are you fighting with the 1st Cavalry Brigade?"

"Report to the commander!" Masao Miyazaki reported, "Not long ago, the reconnaissance plane sent news that the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route did not enter the Fenhe Plain, but stopped in the mountains around Taigu."

While speaking, Masao Miyazaki pointed the pole on the map and pointed out the current location of the main force of the 129th Division.

"Didn't you move on?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu's eyes flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The 1st Cavalry Brigade may have nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous areas.

But in the plains, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to use cavalry, because the Eighth Route Army had too few cavalry and lacked armor.

This time the main force of the 129th Division went out of Baijin Road, mainly to deter the Japanese army in Taiyuan, and the goal has been achieved.

If the Japanese army mobilizes heavy troops to reinforce the 36th Division in Northwest Shanxi, then the 129th Division will definitely attack Taiyuan.

The 1st Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry is well equipped and has strong combat effectiveness, but the main force of the 6 Eighth Route Army is not vegetarian.

"Where is the 37th Division?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked.

Masao Miyazaki said again: "At present, the 37th Division has completed the contraction defense, and all the main forces have been assembled in Yangquan City, ready to deal with the attack from the Eight Routes!"

The commander of the 37th Division is Anda 23. This man has always had a calm and rational combat style. He has learned the experience of the 37th Division being hit hard last time. Instead of fighting in the field with the Eighth Route Army, he adopts a defensive strategy. The 37th Division will definitely not be able to eat in a short time.

"What about Jinnan, how is the battle going?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked again.

"In the early hours of the morning, the Chinese Central Army launched a surprise attack on the North Bank Ferry, and then there was no movement."

Masao Miyazaki replied: "At present, General Shimizu has led the main force of the 41st Division to the south of Shanxi, and has strengthened the defense line. The Chinese Central Army has no chance!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded slightly, Taiyuan, Yangquan and Jinnan are all safe at present.

He suddenly looked at Northwest Shanxi on the map, and asked, "Miyazaki-kun, how is the battle going on in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Commander, Lieutenant General Jingguan decided to break out of the encirclement. Currently, the 3rd Brigade in Datong, the 222nd Regiment in Anhua, and the 223rd Regiment in Ping'an County have already sent reinforcements."

Masao Miyazaki glanced at the wristwatch in his hand, and said again: "The flying team directly under the North China Front Army will go to the air to support it, so as to cooperate with the 36th Division to break through the encirclement smoothly. Calculate the time, the air force should have arrived by this time, maybe well Commander Guan is leading his troops to break through."

Yoshio Yansong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Which direction is Admiral Jingguan planning to break through from Heyuan County?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't say much about Ren Jingguan's decision to break through.

If the strength of the First Army is sufficient, perhaps the 36th Division can continue to stand firm, and then send a large army to encircle the periphery and use a central blooming tactic.

But the problem now is that the main force of the 41st Division has gone to southern Shanxi to reinforce the 33rd Division. The troops in Taiyuan dare not be easily mobilized, and the 37th Division can barely protect itself.

The 3rd Brigade is reinforcing, but the distance is a bit far, so breaking out is the best choice.

"From the direction of the west city gate."

Masao Miyazaki replied: "Lieutenant General Jingguan felt that Li Yunlong's command post was here, so he prepared to attack east and west, and sent a suspicious soldier to break through from the east gate. Ximen fights out, hits the Eighth Route by surprise, and sees if he can destroy Li Yunlong's command post while breaking through."

"Lieutenant General Iseki's idea is very bold." Yoshio Iwamatsu narrowed his eyes and said, "But after thinking about it, I think this tactic is very good."

Miyazaki Masao echoed: "Capture the thief first and capture the king. If General Jingguan can behead Li Yunlong successfully, then the new regiment will surely fall into a situation where the wolves have no leader. Not only will the 36th Division headquarters be safe, but the situation in Northwest Shanxi will be greatly reduced." It will be completely reversed!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, expressing his agreement. Now it depends on whether Lieutenant General Iseki can lead his troops to destroy the headquarters of the new regiment.

……

Jinsui Army 358 Regiment Headquarters.

Fang Ligong hurried into the regiment headquarters, saluted Chu Yunfei and reported: "Reporting regiment commander, there has just been news from Datong that the main force of the Japanese 3rd Brigade has left the city and is heading south along Tongpu Road. It must be reinforcements." Jingguan Division."

"Oh?" Chu Yunfei turned around, with a slightly happy expression: "The 3rd Brigade has finally dispatched? How many troops have the devil dispatched?"

"The exact number is not yet clear." Fang Ligong replied, "However, according to the intelligence, the Mountain Artillery Brigade of the 3rd Brigade has also left the city. It is estimated that there are at most two squadrons of the Japanese army remaining in Datong. After all, the new regiment's offensive If it is too fierce, the 2rd Brigade will send too few troops and it may not be effective."

The 3rd Brigade originally had 2 wings, but one of them was almost wiped out in Baozi Mountain.

The alliance flag and alliance captain are still there, but the troops have not been replenished.

The current 3rd Brigade has nearly 5000 people, which is almost the strength of a mixed brigade.

Up to 2 squadrons?In Chu Yunfei's view, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to regain Datong.

"How's the battle over there in Heyuan County?"

Chu Yunfei turned his head and stared at the map, and asked Fang Ligong while quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.

Fang Ligong then said:

"According to the latest information from the scouts, the Eighth Route Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army, especially in the second half of last night, when the shells exploded and lit half of the sky in the direction of Heyuan County red."

"This is no longer a small-scale battle, but a large-scale battle, even a bit like a large-scale battle."

"However, the 36th Division is not a good stubble, and it is on the defensive side. In addition, the 36th Division has recently built a lot of thickened bunkers in the county."

"Even if the Xinyi Regiment could eat up the 36th Division, it would probably lose a mouth full of teeth and suffer heavy losses."

Chu Yunfei nodded, his opinion was the same as that of Fang Ligong, even if the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was well equipped.

However, the 36th Division is the second-line division of the Japanese army after all, and the combat quality and fighting will of the soldiers are not blown out.

"Brother Ligong, please estimate." Chu Yunfei asked, "How long will the battle between the Xinyi Regiment and the 36th Division last?"

"At least 3 days." Fang Ligong pushed his glasses and analyzed: "You know Li Yunlong's combat style, the regiment, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. It seems that he is determined to eat the 36th Division." However, the Japanese army will definitely use their lives to reinforce them. I estimate that the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army also participated in the battle. This is Li Yunlong's another big battle."

Chu Yunfei suddenly smiled: "Haha, I understand."

Fang Ligong was taken aback, wondering what Chu Yunfei suddenly understood?
Chu Yunfei continued: "The Central Army crossed the Yellow River to the north, and the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army went north to attack Yangquan and Taiyuan. The posture of a decisive battle with the Japanese First Army was just a cover. The real strategic intention of the Eighth Route Army was to cover The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi swallowed up the 36th Division."

Fang Ligong thought carefully after hearing the words: "Regimental Commander, it should be like this. With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is not enough to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese First Army. Cooperate sincerely with the Eighth Route Army and jointly deal with the Japanese army, after all, everyone wants to make a profit."

"Now is not the time to discuss this." Chu Yunfei said, "Gather the troops immediately, send troops to Datong, and talk about tactics. The Chinese are the ancestors of the little devils. This time, let's teach the little devils what it means to be mantis catching cicadas and orioles. rear."

"Yes!" Fang Ligong straightened up, turned around and walked out.

Chu Yunfei put on his armed belt, Browning's gun and the Zhongzheng sword donated by Principal Chang were put on on the left and right.

In his opinion, three days is enough for the 358th regiment leader to take down Datong, and then return to the station with the spoils.

……

at the same time.

The fierce battle in Heyuan County is in full swing.

There was a buzzing sound in the sky, the devil's plane has arrived!
Li Yunlong raised his binoculars and looked.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw about 20 Devil planes passing through the clouds, their engines roaring and roaring, and they swooped down towards the new formation outside the west city gate.

"Prepare for air defense at all firepower points!"

Li Yunlong roared loudly when he saw 20 devil planes coming from a high place.

His expression was very calm.

Compared with the Taiyuan battle devils who dispatched more than 100 planes at a time, the fleet was densely packed in the sky like locusts. Right now, this is just a small scene.

In addition to the guard company, the new regiment outside the west city also has more than 3 soldiers from the third division of the reserve team, as well as the main force of the heavy machine gun battalion, machine gun battalion, and air defense battalion.

The Xinyituan outside the west city is a piece of iron, and the devils break out of the west city, and they are destined to kick the iron plate.

Li Yunlong still held a trump card in his hand, an air support, guaranteed to kill the air support of a Japanese brigade.

Three months have passed since the last time air support was used in the battle of Huangyadong, and the cooldown time for air support has expired.

Following Li Yunlong's order, the anti-aircraft fighters of the new regiment responded instantly, and the machine guns and anti-aircraft gun barrels that were about to fire flat were raised upwards.

The fighters of machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are all veterans. In addition to being well-trained, they also have extremely rich experience in actual combat air defense.

As for the infantry fighting the devils, there is no need to worry at all, and the devils' planes will be cleaned up first.
