I am helping

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Command.

"Report to the commander, the troops of the 37th Division and the 33rd Division outside the city have been crushed for the sake of the empire, Lieutenant General Adachi 23 and Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo, request urgent tactical guidance..."

In the Operations Hall, the communications staff officer of the First Army reported to Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu in a hurry.

The two divisions sent a telegram requesting urgent tactical guidance every hour.

Although the communications staff officer is just a staff officer, the defeat of the 37th and 33rd divisions has little to do with him.

But this is nearly 3 locust soldiers. If they were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, the communications staff would be very sad.

The few combat staff officers on the side were also a little stunned after hearing this. The offensive and strength of the Eighth Route Army are much stronger than expected.

Hanaya and Kazuki Yamamoto looked ugly.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The locust army outside the cities of Yangquan and Shouyang was surrounded by more than 10 troops of the Eighth Route Army, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

But Yoshio Yanmatsu and others did not expect the locust army outside Yangquan and Shouyang City to be wiped out so quickly by the Eighth Route Army.

It took time for the 33rd Division and the 37th Division to send telegrams.

That is to say, at breakfast time in the morning, the troops of the 37th Division and the 33rd Division outside the city had already been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

That's more than 1 locust troops!
Even if it was more than 1 pigs, Balu didn't kill them so quickly, did it?

The two elite divisions of the First Army of Japan.Being bullied by the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was very angry and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

Even reinforcements dare not be sent to reinforce the 33rd and 37th Divisions.

It would be useful to send at least one division of reinforcements there, but after the 41st Division was sent over, Taiyuan would be empty.

The main force of the [-] Route Army on the Taigu defense line will definitely attack Taiyuan taking advantage of Taiyuan's emptiness.

However, what makes Yoshio Iwamatsu even more afraid is that once the 33rd Division and the 37th Division are wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, the Zhengtai Railway will also fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Then Taiyuan became an isolated city, and the remaining strength of the First Army would not be able to defend Taiyuan no matter what.

"The Eighth Route Army's move is really powerful."

Yoshio Yanmatsu praised the Eighth Route Army in his mouth, but his expression was gritted teeth, with fierceness and killing intent on his face.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter?"

Hanaya was standing behind Yoshio Iwamatsu, and asked in a daze without seeing Yoshio Iwamatsu's expression.

The 33rd Division and the 37th Division are about to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army. Your Excellency the Commander is still boasting about the Eighth Route Army. Your Excellency, the Commander, was scared stupid by the Eighth Route Army, right?
But Kazuki Yamamoto's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

Yoshio Iwamatsu said through gritted teeth.

"The strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army at the beginning must be to eliminate the 33rd Division and the 37th Division, and deliberately released information about gathering heavy troops to attack Taiyuan, so as to attract all the attention of the Locust Army to Taiyuan."

"Then dispatch 4 troops and large-scale artillery units to go north to attack the 1st Division stationed in Datong."

"Let the locust army mistakenly think that the real strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army is the 1st Division, and attract the North China Front Army to send troops to reinforce it."

"Then the main force of the new regiment quietly went south from Mount Wutai and the North Taihang area, and together with the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi, they devoured the 33rd and 37th Divisions in one go."

"This set of battle plans is simply flawless, with a series of plans and plans."

As an opponent of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu wished to chop off the heads of all the Eighth Route Army.

But he had to admit that the Eighth Route Army's strategic plan this time was indeed brilliant.

The real strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army was not predicted at all.

Kazuki Yamamoto predicted it, but he didn't fully predict it.

What Yamamoto predicted was that the Eighth Route Army would attack Taiyuan and eliminate the headquarters of the First Army. He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army's strategic goals were the 33rd and 37th Divisions.

In fact, this is not to blame Yamamoto, and Yamamoto is not very clear about the strategy implemented by the Eighth Route Army.

The strategy of the Eighth Route Army is generally to encircle the cities from the countryside.

Even during the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army first liberated other cities in Shanxi before concentrating hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Taiyuan.

If you want to fight Taiyuan, you must first eliminate the Japanese army around Taiyuan, without any worries.

Hua Guzheng said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, once the 33rd Division and the 37th Division are eliminated, Taiyuan and our First Army Command will be in a dangerous situation."

"The First Army will not be in danger for the time being." Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "When the Eighth Route Army destroys the 33rd Division and the 37th Division, reinforcements from the North China Front Army should arrive, and the Eighth Route Army should not forcefully attack Taiyuan. It will cause a lot of casualties to the Eighth Route Army. But next time, the Eighth Route Army is very likely to attack Taiyuan, we have to prepare early and strengthen Taiyuan's defense."

Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced at Kazuki Yamamoto expressionlessly.

next time?
Once the 33rd Division and the 37th Division are wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, I, the commander of the First Army, will definitely not be able to walk around.

It's either to apologize by cutting open his stomach, or to be stripped of the title of commander of the First Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed: "Let's pass this test first."

He built Taiyuan like an iron barrel, with abundant troops and combat materials, and strong fortifications. In addition to thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers, there are many reverse slopes and tunnel fortifications.

Although the Eighth Route Army has more troops and stronger firepower, it is only a matter of time before Taiyuan is captured by the Eighth Route Army.

But Taiyuan can definitely cause tens of thousands of casualties to the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Eighth Route Army was not fooled, but had to give priority to the 33rd Division and the 37th Division.

Hua Guzheng asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, since the Eighth Route Army's strategic target is the 33rd and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army, do you want to order the 14th and 18th Brigades to move into Taiyuan?"

"No!" Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "The shells carried by the Eighth Route Army have bottomed out, and the Eighth Route Army's strategic target is the 33rd Division and the 37th Division, and will not attack the Taigu defense line again."

"Hi!"

Huagu lowered his head suddenly.

……

at noon.

Taigu's defense line is empty.

A flying formation composed of 8 fighter jets and bombers dispatched by the Japanese North China Front roared in.

The Eighth Route Army's dense fire net composed of heavy machine guns, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns forced the devil's planes not to enter the dive position.

Looking at the ground and the dense camouflage nets on the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, the Devil pilot could only sigh helplessly.

The devil pilot received the order to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

But let alone destroying this firepower, it is difficult to even get close to it. The dense air defense fire network of the Eighth Route Army will shoot down the plane once it gets close.

As for the suicide attack by flying a plane, it hasn't reached that point yet, and the North China Front Army Command has not issued such an order.

Seeing that there was not much fuel left, the devil's pilot was about to return to Peiping Airport.

suddenly.

One of the ghost pilots found a dense group of aircraft in the northeast sky.

"Captain, a large-scale aircraft has been found in the Northeast."

The devil pilot immediately called the captain leading the formation by radio.

"Mr. Koike, is the 1st Flying Division of the Kwantung Army coming to reinforce us?"

Another ghost pilot asked in a puzzled tone.

Tetsuo Fukaya, the captain of the devils, took a look through the binoculars, but he didn't see the plaster flag on the plane, and he couldn't tell what type of plane it was, so his expression changed drastically: "It's an enemy plane, everyone, disperse and break through immediately! "

Koike Taro looked at the fleet with a binoculars, and found that they were all large transport planes, so he stepped up the accelerator regardless and flew towards the fleet.

Tetsuo Fukaya was about to pull the joystick to flee, but he saw Koike Taro flying the Nakajima fighter jet towards the east fleet, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Koike-kun, what are you doing? Come back!"

"Captain, the opponents are all transport planes, don't be afraid at all, we can win!"

Koike Taro called on the radio with a murderous look.

"idiot!"

"Fight!"

Letting out a deep breath, Tetsuo Fukaya pushed the joystick, followed Koike Taro, and rushed towards the hordes of transport planes.

Several fighter jets next to him followed closely.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Before the Japanese planes approached the transport plane, more than a dozen Saber jet fighters without propellers suddenly flew out from behind the transport plane, facing the Japanese plane.

After only two or three rounds of fighting, the Devils' eight fighter jets and bomber formations were all shot down.

The plane was blown up in the air by the large-caliber cannon, and the pilot was directly broken into pieces and fell towards the ground one after another.

then.

Hundreds of large transport planes flew towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the division commander put down the binoculars in his hand and smiled all over his face.

Although the division commander has seen Boss Chen's transport plane and fighter several times at Yangcun Airport, this is the first time the division commander has seen the scene of Boss Chen's fighter jet fighting.

I have to say that the scene where Boss Chen's fighter plane shot down the Devil's plane is picturesque.

The casualty ratio of 0 to 8 made the teacher's eyes full of expectations for this fighter.

Li Yunlong has already earned 16 Saber fighter jets, and they are waiting for delivery in June.

The chief of staff said in a happy tone: "Boss Chen's plane arrived early rather than coincidentally. Just as this devil's plane was about to slip away, Boss Chen's plane arrived. This devil's plane is also a bit overconfident. I don't have any combat power points, devil What are you going to use to touch Boss Chen's plane?"

After a pause, the chief of staff said again: "Unfortunately, the Devil plane shot down by Boss Chen's fighter jet is not counted in the business, otherwise it would be another 24 75mm mountain guns."

As the chief of staff of the 129th Division, he naturally knew some rules and prices for Li Yunlong's business with Boss Chen.

"It doesn't matter." The division commander pushed his glasses, with a smile on his mouth, "It's just 24 mountain cannons."

As the transport plane lowered a little altitude and flew over the Eighth Route Army, dense airdrops of supplies fell in the direction of the Eighth Route Army.

Pieces of airdropped supplies almost covered the entire blue sky.
