Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

On a certain road.

A large number of tricycles, transport trucks and armored forces led by a tank company are advancing frantically.

The entire convoy looks extremely luxurious.

This is a certain unit of the Tiger Guards heading towards Heyuan County.

"Captain!"

Zhou Weiguo quickly reported on an armored vehicle: "Now my mechanized forces, two battalions and one company, totaling about 1,500 people, have crossed the Hedian Village area and are expected to arrive in Heyuan County in half an hour! According to the intelligence sent from Heyuan County, there is only one squadron left in the county's Japanese garrison, and the entire garrison is extremely empty."

"Where are the rest of the Pingtian Detachment now?"

"Just arrived in the Weikang Canal area on a special train heading south."

"Humph!"

Lu Zhixian sneered and joked: "Doomsday is coming and you still want to reinforce the 29th Brigade?"

"Captain!"

Zhou Weiguo also chuckled and said, "We didn't find a radio station in the previously annihilated Japanese brigade, which is enough to prove that the unit didn't know that one of its units had been annihilated by us. This time we are advancing rapidly with mechanized troops, so it's normal that the Japanese haven't reacted yet."

"Yeah."

Lu Zhixian nodded and asked, "Where are Old Yang and the others?"

"Captain Yang has led his self-propelled artillery company to the location of the third battalion, and the cavalry battalion is also on the way to reinforce, ready to ambush the Japanese trains heading south at any time!"

"Very good."

Lu Zhixian nodded when he heard this.

Wang Chengzhu next to him said with some worry: "Captain! There are still nearly 2,000 elite Japanese soldiers left in the Pingtian Detachment. Although we have also invested considerable forces, we are not superior in numbers after all. I am afraid that we may not be able to completely annihilate them! Should we send more troops to cooperate?"

"No!"

Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said seriously: "We must seize Heyuan County as soon as possible!"

"Zhuzi!"

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand, Zhou Weiguo explained: "This operation is different from the past. The geographical location of Heyuan County is very important. It is the gateway to the southwest of Shanxi. Its transportation is particularly convenient. There are both railways heading south and multiple transportation roads. If our Tiger Guards cannot quickly occupy this place, the Japanese will surely send troops from all over the country to reinforce!"

"I see."

Wang Chengzhu suddenly realized.

Lu Zhixian didn't waste any words and quickly said: "Pass my order! Immediately march to Heyuan County! The more noise we make here, the less the Japanese dare to act rashly!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Everyone quickly accepted the order.

...

Taiyuan.

Japanese headquarters.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio's face looked extremely solemn. He kept looking at the map and anxiously waiting for various information feedback.

"Report!"

Just then, Nanshan Hideyoshi walked in quickly.

"What's the situation?"

"General, a telegram just came from the 29th Brigade. The unit is currently being chased by the Tiger Guards, the Eighth Route Army, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Although it is temporarily relying on the mountainous area for defense and avoidance, the situation is still extremely difficult. Request the headquarters to dispatch troops for support immediately!"

"What about the Hirata Detachment?"

"Its infantry battalion has taken the lead to support along the highway, and the remaining main force has taken a special train to quickly go south!"

"Damn it!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's face looked extremely ugly when he heard this.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that the Tiger Guards would join forces with other forces to launch such a large-scale attack. It seems that their strength has increased a lot during this period of time."

"That's right!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi nodded, and said solemnly: "Although they were able to completely wipe out the field brigade of our empire near Qingfeng Village, after all, we didn't know much about them at the time. They also had great terrain and defensive advantages, but now they are joining forces with other troops to launch an active attack. If they cannot be completely contained, it will cause unprecedented disadvantages to the situation in southwest Shanxi."

" How many troops did the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army dispatch? "

"According to the intelligence, both sides are probably about 3,000 strong, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. Even the Eighth Route Army has many artillery pieces and many light and heavy machine guns. Their combat effectiveness is simply earth-shaking compared to the past!"

"The combat effectiveness of the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army is just like this. Several artillery pieces are almost the configuration of the brigade!"

Shinozuka Yoshio gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face: "It seems that a large part of these weapons are probably provided by the Tiger Guards."

"It should be so."

Nanshan Hideyoshi did not deny this.

Shinozuka Yoshio thought for a while and said with some concern: "With the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards, if they are combined with these 6,000 troops, they can indeed defeat our 29th Brigade. Now I am afraid that even if the Hirata Detachment can arrive, it may not be able to defeat the opponent. It is said thatI order that the 28th Regiment in Hegu County be dispatched immediately to provide assistance!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi immediately received the order.

However, before he could leave, another communications officer suddenly came in a hurry.

"Report!"

"Say."

"Just got the news that a part of the Tiger Guards captured the county seat of Heyuan County ten minutes ago!"

"..."

This news resounded throughout the venue like thunder, and it also shocked everyone completely.

The Tiger Guards captured Heyuan County!

How is this possible?!

Isn't the Tiger Guards still chasing the 29th Brigade at this time?

Even if it was a split-force operation, it should have encountered the Hirata Detachment on the way!

"What? What did you say?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was stunned for several seconds.

The communications officer trembled again and said: "Report, report to the general! The Tiger Guards had captured Heyuan County ten minutes ago, and they sent troops to blow up the nearby railways and major transportation routes. "

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was shaking all over.

Nanyama Hideyoshi next to him also asked with a questioning look on his face: "Where did the Hirata Detachment support you in the early stages? Where did they get so many troops? And they are not close to Heyuan County, how could they seize the county so quickly?"

"Report, report to the Chief of Staff!"

The communications officer immediately said: "According to intelligence, the total number of troops dispatched by the Tiger Guards this time is estimated to be around 5,000. They should be divided into groups, and a certain unit quickly advanced into Heyuan County in a mechanized manner. As for why the Hirata Detachment's vanguard troops did not encounter them, it is estimated that the unit has already encountered an accident!"

"Damn it!"

Even the usually calm Nanyama Hideyoshi couldn't help but curse in a low voice at this time.

"Report! "

Suddenly, someone else came running in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, the Hirata detachment was suddenly attacked by a unit of the Tiger Guards on the way south. It has suffered heavy losses and the plan to rescue the 29th Brigade has been stranded!"

"The Tiger Guards! It's the damn Tiger Guards again!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that his face turned blue. He roared angrily: "I, Yoshio Shinozuka, will not be a human being if I can't eliminate you!"
