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

Three days later.

Lu Zhixian led the Tiger Guards to station in Heyuan County.

On the one hand, he punished various puppet troops and traitors, and on the other hand, he was constantly recruiting soldiers.

It has to be said.

As an important transportation hub connecting the north and the south, Heyuan County has more people and materials than other places.

After the Tiger Guards raised the recruitment banner.

In just three days.

Nearly two thousand passionate volunteers flocked here, and this was when the news was blocked.

At the same time.

The remnants of the Japanese finally left southwest Shanxi after a long journey. When this group of elite Japanese soldiers who were once high-spirited and ready to go south arrived at the nearby county, all the Japanese stationed there were extremely shocked.

Is this still the 29th Brigade?

Why is it so embarrassed?

"Hurry up and prepare food and medicine for me!"

The brigade commander Aso Guinan shouted angrily and impatiently.

Behind him were more than a thousand members of the brigade who had fled here, and almost all of them were in tattered clothes and looked haggard.

"Ha, ha!"

Nakamura nodded immediately.

Of course, Shinozuka Yoshio, who was at the Taiyuan headquarters, felt the same as him. When he learned that there was finally news about the remnant army, he was relieved but also felt extremely angry.

"General!"

Nanyama Hideyoshi persuaded him: "This time, the 29th Brigade encountered an ambush by nearly 10,000 enemy troops, and was led by the extremely powerful Tiger Guards. Although it has suffered heavy losses, Aso and others were able to cross nearly 100 miles of mountains to return to our army. It is a blessing in disguise!"

"Baga!"

Shinozuka Yoshio was so angry that his face turned blue, and he said angrily: "That's nearly 7,000 elite soldiers of the empire! Now almost all of the organization has been destroyed. How can you let me explain to the military?"

Nanyama Hideyoshi bowed his head slightly.

Even he didn't know how to answer.

The 29th Brigade was indeed beaten extremely badly in this battle.

With their fighting power, they would not have lost so miserably if they had fought a real battle, but the enemy was extremely cunning and chose to ambush along the railway, catching the entire brigade completely off guard. In addition, the enemy also had a powerful armored force. Who could stop them after several charges?

"Hmph!"

Shinozuka Yoshio clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The 7th Brigade was completely wiped out in Qingfeng Village. Although it was also an unprecedented heavy blow to the Empire in Jin Province, we knew too little about the Tiger Guards at that time. The 7th Brigade rushed in rashly without any geographical advantage. But now? This damn Tiger Guards was able to join forces with other armed forces to ambush our Imperial Brigade! The most important thing is that from the perspective of the Warring States period, our Imperial troops were completely defeated, a complete and utter defeat! This is enough to show that the unit already has an extremely strong ability to take the initiative to attack. If it is If we can't kill it, it will have a great impact on the entire situation in Shanxi Province!"

"Don't worry, General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi also nodded and said, "This Tiger Guards will not be arrogant for long. I have been drawing elite troops from all over the country according to your order. Now, except for the 54th and 55th divisions in northwest and southeast Shanxi, which still have tasks, the rest of the 35th and 39th divisions in central and northeastern Shanxi have basically completed the clearing work. I believe it won't take long to fight in other places."

"Yoshi!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's expression instantly cheered up.

Although the 35th and 39th divisions are not the powerful A-type divisions of the empire, they are still extremely powerful. Even if both sides still need to maintain public security and order in various places, it is impossible to draw all troops to go to southwest Shanxi to suppress bandits, but this still gives him a lot of room for action.

Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "In this case, let the 35th and 39th divisions complete the final finishing work as soon as possible!"

"Yi!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi immediately accepted the order.

"Ah——"

Suddenly, Shinozuka Yoshio sighed again.

Nanshan Hideyoshi asked curiously: "General, as long as my Imperial Division goes south, it will definitely annihilate the Tiger Guards. You seem to be worried?"

"I am not worried about the situation in Shanxi Province!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, and a bitter look appeared on his face again, saying: "But now the 29th Brigade has been hit hard before it can succeed. It is obviously impossible for the remaining troops to quickly go south to support the battlefield in Central China. In this way, the Empire's troops there will be weakened, and perhaps they will not be able to completely annihilate the Chinese armed forces!"

"It should, it shouldn't be the case!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi's face suddenly changed, and then he thought for a while and said: "For this battle, the Empire has already assembled seven elite divisions and four brigades in Central China. Even if the 29th Brigade cannot follow the planned plan,Rapid support, but we still have a strategic advantage, I think it will not have a big impact on the overall situation. "

"I hope so."

Yoshio Shinozuka could only sigh.

...

Central China.

Fifth War Zone.

Almost all eyes in China today are focused here.

Because an extremely fierce large-scale battle is breaking out here, the devils are launching a crazy attack on this place with nearly 200,000 elite main forces, and the government is not giving in at all, mobilizing 50 divisions and nearly 350,000 officers and soldiers to fight hard.

But it was contrary to expectations.

Although the officers and soldiers of the government were ready to die, they still failed to stop the devil's strong attack.

Heavy Zhenzaoyang was captured a few days ago, and the entire defensive formation was broken several times. Although most of the main forces retreated to Yichang and other places, there were still many troops left in the surrounding battlefields.

Japanese front-line command.

At this time, many senior commanders responsible for launching the battle gathered here.

Commander-in-chief Sonobe made various judgments in front of the map with a stern look, and the atmosphere in the entire command room seemed relatively relaxed.

After all, they have already occupied a great advantage.

"Report!"

Soon a communications officer came quickly and said: "The main forces of China are currently retreating, and our imperial divisions are carrying out continuous pursuit according to the established plan."

"Yoshi! "

When Yuan Bu heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He couldn't help but say: "In this battle, China sent various main forces, which caused great trouble to our empire. Fortunately, our empire's elite finally defeated their formation. Now as long as they are completely strangled in the central China region, our empire can march straight into the mountain city of China, and then the war here will be completely over!"

"What is the current situation of each unit?"

"Report to the commander!"

The chief of staff next to him responded quickly: "All units have entered the designated location. According to the speed of our empire's army, we will be able to quickly stop its main force there, but-"

"Just what?"

"The 29th Brigade, which was supposed to block the Han River and Raoshan area, has not yet arrived. "
