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

The entire Shanxi Province is very large.

Although the southwest of Shanxi is mostly hilly and earthen slopes, it also covers more than 20 counties, such as Heyuan County and Laiyang County, which are relatively famous. Of course, the most critical geographical location is Heyuan County, after all, there is a railway passing through here, and the surrounding road network is also particularly developed.

If the Japanese want to quickly take over the entire southwest of Shanxi, they must take over Heyuan County.

This is also the key reason why Lu Zhixian took the initiative to attack this place before.

Seeing the enemy coming fiercely.

Lu Zhixian naturally would not sit and wait for death, and quickly launched various actions.

...

Taiyuan.

Japanese headquarters.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio was naturally paying close attention to the situation here.

"General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi quickly reported the latest intelligence to him: "At present, the road leading to Heyuan County has been completely cut off by the Tiger Guards. The 33rd Division is trying its best to repair the last section. The Sendo Artillery Regiment in the southeast and the three surrounding infantry battalions are also on the way to reinforcement. The 16th Guard Brigade of the Imperial Army is also waiting for an opportunity outside. It is estimated that the reunion will be completed in three days! By then, the total force of this clearing operation will be able to reach about 28,000!"

"Where is Yunxian Airport?"

"The Matsushima Air Brigade is currently in intensive training and reconnaissance. In addition to the two bombers that were shot down earlier, there are still 22 bombers on standby at any time!"

"Yoshio!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes lit up instantly.

"General!"

Nanshan Hideyoshi also said excitedly: "This time we dispatched a full division of troops, and in view of the powerful artillery advantage of the Tiger Guards, we also strengthened the artillery unit, plus the air support of the flying brigade, I believe this time we will be able to completely wipe them out!"

"What is the current situation of the Tiger Guards?"

"It has indeed made many moves, most of which are aimed at important roads in various places, but it seems that it has no intention of escaping at all."

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio sneered and said: "Originally, I was worried that the news would leak out and the Tiger Guards would avoid the battle and flee. I didn't expect that Lu Zhixian would be so arrogant! He still wants to fight against an entire division of my empire. It seems that he will eventually pay the price for his youth and arrogance! Pass my order, order Kato Kiku to kill Lu Zhixian in this battle and completely wash away the shame of my headquarters in Shanxi!"

"Hai!"

Soon a messenger quickly took the order.

"General!"

At this time, Nanshan Hideyoshi frowned and said: "With the strength of our empire's clearing force this time, defeating the Tiger Guards is naturally a piece of cake, but this force is different from the previous Chinese armed forces. If the regiment does not want to escape, we may not be able to completely block it."

"Nanshan-kun!"

However, Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said confidently and calmly: "Other commanders may not be able to do it, but Kato-kun will definitely have no problem! This is the man known as the empire's poisonous snake. Any enemy targeted by him, no matter how the opponent flees or dodges, can't escape his pursuit. Once the Tiger Guards collapse, Lu Zhixian's death will come!"

...

Minggu County.

The 33rd Division's headquarters.

At this time, there are still two people standing in the command center.

The leader was a man in his forties. He was a little short, only about 1.55 meters tall, but his eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, giving people a very cold and oppressive feeling!

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

Standing next to him was the division chief of staff Asano Gawa Saburo.

This man was quite tall and thin, and his 1.75 meter height definitely stood out among the many nuclear recruits. At this time, he was holding a stack of information in his hand, and said respectfully: "According to the latest information sent by the intelligence department, the total number of Tiger Guards is about 5,000 people, including six battalions, including three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, and two artillery battalions. In addition, there are extremely powerful armored companies and special forces mainly for sneak attacks. All members are equipped with American Garand rifles, more than 80 artillery of various types, including more than 12 howitzers of 75mm or above, more than 20 infantry guns of various types, and armored More than 15 tanks..."

"Sure enough!"

Kato Kiku's eyes flashed with a cold light and sneered: "I didn't expect such a powerful force to emerge in a place like Jin Province. No wonder it was able to hit my empire's elite one after another!"

"Yes!"

Asano Kawasaburo nodded and said seriously: "The combat effectiveness of this Tiger Guard is indeed extremely strong, especially the various weapons and equipment are extremely elite! I have to say that if we only talk about the luxury of equipment, it is indeed the most luxurious I have ever seen on the battlefield in China.I have never encountered it before, and even the so-called German-equipped divisions on the battlefield of Songhu may not be able to compare with it. "

"Humph!"

Kato Kiku took the intelligence with a stern look on his face, and said with a sneer on his lips: "Fighting is not just about weapons and equipment. It is ridiculous to want to win the war just by the powerful artillery!"

"Your Excellency is right!"

Asano Kawasaburo nodded.

Kato Kiku said coldly: "I have carefully read many previous battles. Whether it is the Sakata Regiment or the 7th Brigade, they were defeated by it one after another. To a large extent, it was the information asymmetry between the enemy and us. It was either ambushed or underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to various humiliations later! Now that the empire has a detailed understanding of this unit, its doomsday is here!"

"Report!"

Soon a signalman hurried into the main house.

"Speak! ”

“The road leading to Heyuan County has been completely paralyzed by the Tiger Corps. Our engineering corps is currently repairing it quickly. It is estimated that it will be fully accessible in three days.”

“Yoshi!”

Asano Kawasaburo said with a smile: “From the current situation, the enemy should not intend to retreat.”

“Humph!”

Kato Kiku sneered and said jokingly: “Really overestimating yourself!”

“Yeah!”

Asano Kawasaburo also said with a smile: “This so-called Chinese elite thought that his opponent would be as weak as last time? We are the 33rd Division of the Empire. Although we are not as strong as those powerful Class A divisions, we are strong among many Class B divisions in terms of combat effectiveness. Now we don’t even want to escape. This is really ridiculous!”

“That’s good! "

Kato Kiku narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Didn't General Shinozuka order our division to kill Lu Zhixian completely? This saves us a lot of effort! Pass on my order, all units should quickly repair on the spot for three days, and officially march to Heyuan County in three days!"
