Hu Bin took more than half an hour to run to the cannon. At this time, Xiang Lei, Zhong Mochu, Lu Feng and Huo Qing Ge were there, and the others were already in front.

"Xiang Lei, now you go outside and drive over with the telegraph. When you reach the intersection, your brother and the others are waiting for you there. I will fire later. Please help report the position and see if you hit it!" After Hu Bin came up, he said to Xiang Lei.

"Oh, OK!" Xiang Lei said, carrying a telegraph machine on his back and ran down.

Hu Bin started running up the mountain and calculated the distance. Now he could not see the positions where the Japanese were hiding. Because they were blocked by the mountain in front, Hu Bin could only rely on the county town to locate the Japanese, calculate the location where the Japanese were, and then calculate the parameters.

"Brother Bin, are you going to fire again?" Zhong Mochu ran up and asked at Hu Bin.

"Well, those Japanese are all staying outside. Blow up one to death!" Hu Bin nodded and continued to count there, and Zhong Mochu didn't bother, holding the telescope and looking ahead.

But now in Taiyuan, the Japanese commander Shouichi Tezuka has also come here. In the next few months, the location here will be very important and involves a traffic line to the south, so he came here to stare.

"Commander, there is a problem in Zhongyang Prefecture now. Not only are the supplies in Zhongyang Prefecture bombed, but the entire county town has been bombed. Our troops are now staying outside the city, which is very unsafe!" Tsutaro Izui reported to Soichi Desauchi who had just got off the car.

"Nani, the Eighth Route Army attacked our Zhongyang Prefecture?" Teruchi Sukhi heard this, stopped and looked at the trash Tokutaro and said.

"There was no large-scale attack, but they had artillery and attacked our county town with artillery. Before we could react, the artillery hit the ammunition depot and caused a big explosion. All the supplies inside were burned. They just sent a telegram to say that the city of Zhongyang is still burning!" Tsutaro I looked at Soichi Desouchi and said.

"Baga!" When Shou Ichinosuke heard this, he cursed angrily.

Tuotaro continued to walk inside. Tuotaro is temporarily managing the 6th Division, and the new division commander has not come yet.

"How many troops are there now?" Teraunuchi asked as he walked.

"There are less than 1,500 people. There were two brigades of troops before, but there have been great casualties these days!" Tuo Tokutaro followed behind and reported.

Soon, they arrived at the headquarters in Taiyuan. Shouichi Sedo sat down on the main seat, and all the generals stood straight there.

"Sit down!" Teruchi said when he saw it.

"Hey, thank you General!" the generals replied after hearing the order, and then all sat down.

"This time your defense mission is very heavy. According to our intelligence, China Chongqing has ordered the troops in Yan'an to destroy our traffic lines at all costs.

Now, we still have a lot of supplies that are not ready. So, you must keep this transportation line for me, as long as one month, as long as half a year!" Teraunuchi said while sitting there.

"Ah, half a year?" The generals couldn't believe their ears when they heard this, and looked at Soichi Tezuka.

"Yoxi, we just finished the Battle of Wuhan, and the casualties were very large. The materials were consumed very much. Now the empire is preparing materials to launch the Battle of Changsha. This will be a very tragic battle. China will definitely fight to the death.

People in Chongqing know that once Changsha is occupied by us, the gates of Chongqing will be opened, and the Chinese resisters will have no way out. Therefore, the war over there requires a large amount of supplies. We are preparing to annihilate China's existing main force in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the preparation time for this battle is very long, and your side will be the key to the success of this battle. The transportation line here needs to be completely controlled by us, but now the Eighth Route Army in Zhongyang County has taken action.

Before, we thought about eliminating the Eighth Route Army, but unfortunately we did not succeed. General Tani Shouo was too radical and never expected that his logistics troops would be controlled by the Eighth Route Army. He could have eliminated the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, but not only did he fail, but he also killed himself!

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has obtained a large amount of our weapons and ammunition, and the development speed is even faster. In the future, if we want to destroy them, we will probably have to pay more. Now we do not have enough troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the mountains. We can only control our current traffic line!" Teraunuchi said.

"Hi!" all the generals stood up and nodded.

"Sit down. In a few days, your two divisions will be replenished. The base camp will send 20,000 new recruits to replenish your troops. They are trained, but when you come to your side, you still have to continue training.

Another thing is that if we don’t give up in Zhongyang County, we try not to give up. Once we give up, the Eighth Route Army will still press forward step by step. At that time, our transportation line will be more difficult to defend. I hope you understand this.

If we defend Zhongyang Prefecture, no matter whether we can garrison troops there or not, as long as we guard it, the Eighth Route Army can only send small troops to operate, and the large troops will not dare to act. In this way, our traffic line will be safe, so you need to increase troops to Zhongyang Prefecture!" Teraunuchi said to Tokutaro Izuku.

"Hey, but now our troops are very tight. The entire division's troops are scattered in various county towns. To defend the Eighth Route Army. Once the troops are drawn from the local area, the Eighth Route Army will definitely get news in advance. Those Eighth Route Army may be able to launch an attack in advance and attack our county towns, so that we can control fewer and fewer places!" said Tokutaro Izui.

"Yoxi, I know what you said. In 3 days, the 4th Division's troops will go south. They will first cooperate with you to defend the Eighth Route Forces, mainly to let them familiarize themselves with the Eighth Route Forces in advance, and to let you supervise this unit, hey!" When Soichi Teraunuchi sighed and said.

"Nani, the Fourth Division is really coming here? Commander, this, what are the big men in the base camp thinking? Can the Fourth Division fight? They are all thinking about doing business. When they come here, it will probably cause trouble for us!" Tsushitaro said excitedly.

Their permanent divisions, none of which can respect the Fourth Division, can be regarded as a special existence since the Russo-Japanese War.

"I know, but now we can no longer send other troops here. There is no way for the base camp. They are also permanent divisions and must fight. The base camp is also considering this time. They must devote themselves to the Chinese war and cannot let them stay behind!" Teraunuchi Shouyi also looked down on the Fourth Division a little, but now it is the order from the base camp, and they have no way.

"Haga!" Tsutaro Irene cursed in a low voice. Teruchisu was pretending not to hear it. He knew in his heart that no division was willing to cooperate with the Fourth Division, which was too uncontrollable.

"In 3 days, their large troops will come here. You go and give orders to the troops in Zhongyang County, so that they will stick to Zhongyang County no matter what. At that time, we will directly send a unit troops there to assist in the defense of Zhongyang County and control the county town of Zhongyang County!" Teraunuchi said to Tokutaro Izumi.

"Hey, I'll go and order them now!" Tsukui Tokutaro had no choice but to stand up and walk outside. After getting outside, he explained to a staff officer and asked him to send a telegram to the troops stationed in Zhongyang County, asking them to continue to stick to the county town! After giving the order, Tsukui Tokutaro returned to the command center again.

"After the recruits of your division arrive, start training immediately. Because your troops must go to the front line at any time, they must also guard this traffic line during training!" Teraunuchi said.

On the front side of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Peng had just received a telegram from the Commander's headquarters, which was forwarded to Chongqing, and the Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief also wrote a telegram to him personally.

This is the fourth telegram about preventing the Japanese from sending combat supplies to the front line.

"Well, obstacles, obstacles, they are light. If we fight forcibly, we can win, but can we defend them? It is useless to use small troops. The Japanese are not stupid. They will definitely defend those railways, hey!" Commander Peng held the telegram and sighed there, while several senior cadres next to him watched with the telegram.

"We can hinder one day, one month, but we can hinder one year? How many troops do we have to consume it? The Japanese have already had two divisions here. Although they were crippled, their combat effectiveness is still there, especially because they are defense and attacking. We have no advantage at all. If they fight strongly and there are too many troops gathered, the Japanese will definitely dispatch planes. How do you think they will fight?" a senior cadre said.

"But it's not okay to fight. The commander said that if Changsha is defeated, then our war of resistance will become even more passive!" said another cadre.

But Commander Peng didn't say anything, but walked inside the command center with his hands behind his back, thinking about a solution.

"Commander, if it doesn't work, you can only use large troops, but there may be heavy casualties!" A cadre reminded Commander Peng and said.

"No, you can't use the large army. We can't afford such casualties. The commander-in-chief said that while obstructing, you must control the casualties and not be crippled!" Commander Peng shook his head and said. (~^~)
