Taiyuan inner city, the First Army Headquarters.

Hanaya was putting down the phone and reporting to Yoshio Iwamatsu: "His commander, all aircraft stationed at Chengbei New Town Airport and Chengdong Busu Airport have been evacuated."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Where is the airport garrison?"

Huagu Zhengdao: "The airport garrison has also retreated to the outer city of Taiyuan."

Yoshio Iwamatsu pondered for a moment and asked again: "Where is the airport's facilities?"

Hanagu Masahiro: "According to your request, all those who can be removed have been removed, and all those who cannot be removed have been dealt with."

Hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu's face not only showed any joy, but instead sighed softly.

Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport can be said to be the two most complete military airports in Shanxi, but now, due to the large-scale attack of the Eighth Route Army, they can only take the initiative to destroy it.

This will inevitably have an impact on the delivery of the First Army's aviation force.

Hua Guzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, please be honest, your order seems to be a bit too conservative. I really don't think that the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi has the courage to attack Taiyuan..."

"No, don't be careless." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "Don't forget Huagujun, it was almost this time last year, and Taiyuan almost fell."

Hanagu Masada: "Commander, these are two different things."

After pausing, Hua Guzheng said again: "Last year, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army attacked Taiyuan, especially Chu Yunfei's unique brigade of the Jinsui Army, are well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness is beyond the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said in a deep voice: "That was last year. As for now, the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi is probably not inferior to Chu Yunfei's single brigade of the Jinsui Army. Don't forget that the entire field artillery corps of the Second Guards Division and at least two chariot squadrons have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Now the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi are even better than the Jinsui Army!"

"Weapons are one thing, but combat philosophy is another." Hua Guzheng still insisted on his own opinion. "The Eighth Route Army is used to sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare. I am afraid that it will not learn to attack the city so quickly. You must know that the battle of big cities like Taiyuan is completely incomparable with the battle of small counties like Yangquan."

Yoshio Iwamatsu was silent because what Hanaya Masato said was also very reasonable.

An army has its own combat philosophy or guiding ideology.

Even if it changes or evolves, it is difficult to change or evolve in a short period of time.

Judging from the overall situation currently facing the Eighth Route Army, it is indeed difficult to evolve from the Sparrow War and guerrilla warfare to the city's tough battle in a short period of time, because this span is really a bit big.

Hua Gu continued, "So, I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army really dares to attack Taiyuan."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the phone ringing in the communication class next door suddenly rang.

A moment later, the communications chief, Inoue Yasushi walked into the war room with a dark face, paused and said, "Your Excellency Commander, you just received a call from the Maguan stronghold. There is a huge number of Eighth Route Army heading south along the highway."

"What? A huge number of Eighth Route Army is heading south along the highway?" Yoshio Iwamatsu's face suddenly sank.

"This is impossible!" Hua Guzheng felt a scorching pain on his face. He just said that the Eighth Route Army could not launch an attack on Taiyuan. As a result, the Eighth Route Army headed south along the highway as soon as he finished speaking. This slap came too quickly in the face.

At this moment, Hanagu Masato said again: "Mr. Inoue, has there been any reports on how many Eighth Route Army there are in the Maguan stronghold? Not to mention only one or two thousand or even hundreds of Eighth Route Army."

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, not one or two thousand, not a few hundred."

Inoue Please said seriously: "The Maguan stronghold reported that the Eighth Route Army heading south along the highway was at least 5,000. After the 5,000 people passed, the Eighth Route Army continued to emerge from the highway."

After pausing, Inoue Yasushi said again: "According to the scouts at the Maguan stronghold, the Eighth Route Army heading south along the same Dandelion Road is likely to exceed 10,000 people, or even more!"

"What? Ten thousand people? Even more?"

Huagu was jumping up like a puppy being stepped on to his tail.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications officer hurried in and reported: "The commander, the Liujiagou stronghold has just called to report that a large number of Eighth Route Army is heading north along the Baijin Highway!"

"Hmm?" Yoshio Iwamatsu's face changed drastically. There were also Eighth Route Army heading north to the south?

But Kazuya never dared to say that it was impossible again, because reason told him that this was the fact!

Because it is still possible to have false alarms in one stronghold, and it is impossible to have false alarms in both strongholds.

The two of them quickly walked to the big map posted in front of the north wall, and Huagu quickly found the Maguan stronghold and the Liujiagou stronghold from the map.

Hanaya Masato asked the correspondent again, "Shibuya, how many Eighth Route Army soldiers heading north along the Baijin Highway?"

The communications consultant paused and said, "According to the scouts at the Liujiagou stronghold, the Eighth Route Army heading north at least 10,000 people, or even more, and there are a large number of infantry artillery!"

"What? There are actually 92 Infantry Cannons?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanagu's faces became even more ugly.

After a while, Yoshio Iwamatsu said quietly: "Kun Hanagu, although I have been saying that everything should be more careful, it is actually consistent with your opinion in my heart."

"To be honest, I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army dares to take the initiative to attack Taiyuan."

"After all, the current situation this year is very different from last year, and it is completely incomparable."

"Not to mention that the Imperial Army's combat materials are much more abundant than last year, even the external environment of the Eighth Route Army is much worse than last year. At this time last year, the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi Sui Army and the Central Army in northwest Shanxi were close, but this year, the three families were suspicious of each other and tried to pull each other back."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Iwamatsu said again: "So I really don't believe that the Eighth Route Army dares to attack Taiyuan."

"But the Eighth Route Army is really here." Hua Gu said with a grim smile, "Since they are so ignorant of life and death, then the Imperial Army doesn't have to be polite to them and teach them a cruel lesson."

After saying this, Hanaya Masaru turned his head and said to Takuya Suhara: "Muwahara."

Takuya Suwara quickly stepped forward and paused, "What are the instructions of the Chief of Staff?"

Hua Gu Zhengdao: "Immediately, through your special channels, the news of the large-scale deployment of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi and Taiyue Military Region to the Jinsui Army. I believe Yan Xishan will be very happy."

...

Qiulin Town, the head of the Second World War Zone.

Director of Intelligence Yang Zhenji rushed into Yan Xishan’s office and reported: “Master, good news!”

Yan Xishan, who was closing his eyes to rest, was refreshed and said in a deep voice: "Director Yang, what good news is there?"

Yang Zhenji said: "Director Liang, the Special Police Department lurking in Taiyuan, just sent a secret message. The Eighth Route Army Northwest Bandit Area and Taiyue Bandit Area have all been dispatched to fight Taiyuan!"

"What did you say?" Yan Xishan jumped up suddenly.

"The Eighth Route Army really fought against the Taiyuan? Did they really fight against the Taiyuan?"

"Well, they really fought Taiyuan." Yang Zhenji said with a heavy emphasis, "and it was all out."

"Hey, hey, hey." Yan Xishan continued several times, and then said, "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it. The Eighth Route Army really dared to attack Taiyuan?"

Yang Zhenji sneered: "I see how many victories the Eighth Route Army won, but I don't know how much I weigh. With their broken guns and small cannons, they dare to attack Taiyuan? I really don't know how to write the word "death".

"The Eighth Route Army is really brave." Yan Xishan said, "In the past, they have gained a lot of benefits by relying on their courage, but this time they will definitely lose money. Taiyuan is SX provincial capital, isn't it that easy to fight?"

"Yes, Taiyuan is not easy to fight." Yang Zhenji also said, "At this time last year, Chu Yunfei's Unique Brigade and Liang Gang's Unique 94th Brigade 15,000 elite troops attacked for several days, but they only broke through the outer city."

Yan Xishan smiled coldly and said, "Since the Eighth Route Army is so ignorant of life and death, we don't have to be polite."

After a pause, he said, "Order, Chu Yunfei's Only One Brigade and Liang Gang's Ninety-Fourth Brigade attacked from north to south to wipe out the remaining Eighth Route Army of the Fuliang Bandits Area, and then wiped out the two bandits of Jiugong Mountain and Wohu Mountain, so that northwest Shanxi can be completely under the control of the Second World War."

Yang Zhenji responded and asked again: "Master, should the main force in western Jinxi move?"

Yang Zhenji meant that the main force of the Jinsui Army, which was hiding in western Shanxi, also took advantage of the opportunity to seize the Taiyue Mountain area where the troops were empty at this time, and drove the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army out of Taiyue Mountain.

However, Yan Xishan still has a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the main force of the Jinsui Army. He knew that although the number of main force of the Jinsui Army that was hiding in western Shanxi was more than 100,000, its combat effectiveness was even worse than that of Chu Yunfei, a brigade. The more than 100,000 Jinsui Army was barely able to fight defensive wars. They asked them to take the initiative to attack, but they were afraid that they would fall apart before they even arrived in Taiyue Mountain.

In a word, the main force of the Jinsui Army no longer has the ability to take the initiative to attack at this time.

Yan Xishan said at the moment: "Taiyue Mountain is remote and far away, so forget it."

...

The orders from the Chief Office of the Second World War Zone soon arrived at Sanduotang.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei had already returned to the Unique Brigade Department.

"The brigade seat, the chief's office urgently sent a telegram." Fang Ligong walked in with the telegram and said in a deep voice, "Order our independent brigade to cooperate with the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army to attack and eat the remaining troops of the independent regiment in Fuliang Mountains."

Chu Yunfei said unanimously: "Brother Li Gong, what do you think about this?"

Fang Ligong said without thinking: "I thought this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, Ding Wei's New First Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment were all out, and we will concentrate our two forces in the Jinsui Army's Independent Brigade and the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army, and it will be easy to pacify the remaining troops of the independent regiment in Fuliang Mountains."

"No, Brother Li Gong, you are wrong." Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "It's not that easy."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother, don't forget that when the Second Japanese Guard Division swept the Fuliang Mountains last year, it used nearly 20,000 Japanese and 20,000 puppet troops, nearly 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops. However, Li Yunlong's independent regiment killed only 5,000 or 6,000 people, but what's the final result?"

Fang Ligong said with stern amazement: "In the end, the Japanese Guards Second Division was defeated!"

Chu Yunfei pulled his white gloves and said in a deep voice: "So, if we set the target of Panping Fuliang Mountains, we will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Japanese Guards Second Division."

Fang Ligong said: "So, what does the traveling occupancy mean?"

Chu Yunfei said: "If we fight with the independent regiment in the vast rural areas of Fuliang Mountain or Fuliang Mountain fortress, the only brigade of our Shanxi Sui Army will be based on our own weaknesses and attack the enemy's strengths, which is not what the military strategists do."

He paused and said, "But if he was fighting with the independent regiment in the county town, Lijia Town, Dagu Town, Qingyun Town and other large towns, for our Shanxi Sui Army's unique brigade, it would be to use his own strengths and defeat the enemy's shortcomings. If everything goes well, he could even defeat the enemy without fighting."

He paused again and said, "In this way, we can not only achieve our goals, but also avoid the two families from actually going to war and let the Japanese get the bargain."

Fang Ligong said: "But the command of the voyage department is not like this?"

"The order of the Chief Officer?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said, "The Chief Officer does not understand the actual situation on the front line, so as the front line commander, we should have the right to deal with it on the spot."

"Okay." Fang Ligong said helplessly, "When will the occupants take action?"

"Don't worry about this." Chu Yunfei said, "I'd better wait until the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese fight in Taiyuan, so as not to let Li Yunlong give up his plan to fight Taiyuan in a hurry and come back to fight us."

He paused and said, "By the way, don't forget to send a telegram to the 94th Brigade, saying that Fu'an County and Qingyun Town in the north were given to him, Heyuan County and Dagu Town in the south, Lijia Town is the only Brigade of our Jinsui Army. Although he and I were classmates in Huangpu, we still had to settle accounts clearly with our brothers."

...

"Brother, settle the accounts clearly?"

Seeing the telegram, Liang Gang almost laughed out loud.

Zhu Jiahua, chief of staff of the 94th Brigade, said: "Brigate, I think Brigade Commander Chu is not kind. This is clearly trying to pull our 94th Brigade into the water and share the pressure for them, right?"

"That's right." Liang Gangdao, "That's what my Huangpu classmate means."

"Then we can't be fooled." Zhu Jiahua said, "If their Jinsui Army wants to gain benefits from the Eighth Route Army, our Central Army will not join in the fun, it is not worth it."

Liang Gang waved his hand and said, "No, we still have to send troops."

"Ah?" Zhu Jiahua said in confusion, "Hostage, it's not worth paying for a little profit."

"Chief of Staff, this is not a small profit." Liang Gang shook his head, "Fu'an County is a county town. If our 94th Brigade can occupy a county town, the future situation will be very different."

"That's true." Zhu Jiahua said, "If you can occupy a county town, it can not only solve the problem of garrison, but also solve the problem of food and salary. At that time, the troops can even be expanded to a division!"

Liang Gang said: "So, we still have to take this benefit."

Zhu Jiahua said: "The question is, even if we take Fu'an County, can we defend it?"

Last time, their 94th Independent Brigade also picked up Fu'an County from the Japanese, but in the face of the strong pressure from the Independent Regiment, they finally obediently gave up the county town.

"This is the moment, the other is the moment."

Liang Gang smiled and said, "The incident happened too suddenly, and we were completely unprepared."

"And the situation at that time was also quite chaotic, not as clear as it is now."

"The situation?" Zhu Jiahua asked confusedly, "Is the situation at that time different from now?"

"Of course, and there is a big difference." Liang Gang said in a deep voice, "The situation at that time was that although the Japanese army and our national army had already had the intention to cooperate, they were still in the testing stage. Once an opportunity arises, both our national army and the Japanese army will give the other party a fatal blow without hesitation."

Zhu Jiahua nodded and said, "That's how Zhongtiaoshan's miserable defeat was."

Liang Gangdao: "But the current situation is different. Not to mention other war zones, but only Shanxi, there has been a confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army. For example, this time, the Eighth Route Army actually dared to fight against the Japanese army. In this case, the Japanese army will only win over our national army in every way and will not plot against us like before."

"Because it will be of no benefit to the Japanese army if we weaken or even annihilate our national army at this time."

After a pause, Liang Gang continued: "So we can safely seize Fu'an County, because even if we steal the county, we don't have to be wary of the Japanese army, but we just need to do our best to deal with the Eighth Route Army's counterattack."

Zhu Jiahua suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

...

In the evening, the Independence Corps successfully conquered the altar of the country.

Shejitan is an ancient building in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was destroyed by war and was rebuilt and rebuilt. It has a history of more than 800 years.

Wang Ye set up the frontier command center in the altar of the country without hesitation.

Ding Wei climbed up the roof of Sheji Altar along the ladder, held a telescope and observed the north gate of Taiyuan for a long time, and then returned to the ground.

"Xiao Wang, I just observed it." Ding Wei said.

"We are only eight hundred meters away from Taiyuan Gongji Gate, which is Xiaobei Gate.

"At such a distance, let alone the various artillery of the Japanese, even machine guns can be swept. Isn't it too dangerous for us to set up the command center in this altar of the country?"

Speaking of this, Ding Wei said again: "Of course, I'm not worried about my own safety."

"I am worried about you. If you, a top student who has returned from studying abroad in Germany, will be a big loss for our party."

"Captain Ding, I don't have to worry about my safety." Wang Ye smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the Japanese who can kill me have not yet been born."

"You boy, you really have the same virtue as Lao Li."

Ding Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say much."

After saying this, he said, "Chief of Staff, hurry up and arrange it."

The chief of staff was calling out to Li Xiaoxian, the chief of staff of the new first regiment.

Li Xiao first responded and quickly began to make arrangements with the staff from the New First Regiment.
Chapter completed!
