Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Early?Think about it for a bit!However, I have faith in that kid!Whether it was attacking Loufan or attacking Yangqu by surprise, the battle plan formulated by this kid can be said to be deadly, making it hard for the little devil to guard against.

But in these two battles, he didn't use his most elite reconnaissance brigade at all.Although this kid didn't go into details in the telegram, based on my understanding of him, this reconnaissance brigade may have been near Taiyuan City as early as possible. dudu3

Maybe, many elite troops from the reconnaissance brigade have infiltrated the city of Taiyuan today.We only need to wait for our main force to approach the city, and at that time, we should cooperate with each other to open the gate of Taiyuan City. I believe that no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it will not be able to stop our main force from entering the city. '

Judging from the current situation, the Henan campaign, which is still in fierce battle, may not end in a short time.At least the Japanese army currently attacking Henan is also in the midst of tenacious resistance, and the little devil's reinforcements are also accelerating their support.

In contrast, the Shanxi battle led by He Zhengdao might catch up from behind and successfully recover the entire territory of Shanxi before the end of the Henan battle.If this battle can end as soon as possible, it will also be very beneficial to the Eighth Route Army.

Just as the Japanese army was surprised, the Eighth Route Army started two large-scale battles at once, which was also very stressful for the Eighth Route Army.At this time, the combat materials stored by the Eighth Route Army in the early stage were also shipped to the front line in batches.

If the battle can't be ended as soon as possible, then with the family background of the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid it won't last long!

And right now He Zhengdao has already started, and even every time he successfully completes the battle plan at the smallest cost, which really makes Boss Zhu and Yan'an very happy.But they also prefer to end the battle as soon as possible.

After all, for the Shanxi campaign, the Eighth Route Army also used a lot of main forces.These troops also need to consume a lot of supplies and ammunition to fight.Even if some were seized, the amount was not much after all.

He Zhengdao, who also understood this point, actually didn't want to see the storming of Taiyuan City happen.But in the current situation, all this is not up to him.Most importantly, it depends on what choice Itagaki will make!

The Japanese commander who was called up urgently by Itagaki also felt shocked after hearing what Itagaki told him.They all knew what the fall of Yangqu meant to them in Taiyuan!

Whether to fight or withdraw seems to have become a problem for them to consider!

'General, we also have an infantry brigade in the city, and a Royal Association Division.Add up, our combat troops in Taiyuan also have more than 1 people.If the Eighth Route Army wants to attack Taiyuan City, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! '

"General, judging from the current situation, the Eighth Route Army has assembled at least two to three main divisions and headed straight for Taiyuan.With our current strength alone, even if we can withstand the offensive of the Eighth Route, how long can we last?

The [-]th Division has been trapped in Changzhi and cannot escape, and the Yangquan side is even more fiercely fighting.As for the troops in Jinzhong, if they want to come over, I'm afraid it will take a certain amount of time.If the troops over there can be transferred, Jinzhong will also be in danger. '

Some people are fighting and others are withdrawing. This situation seems to be where Itagaki is struggling at the moment.Whether to keep it or not, it seems that he needs to make up his mind.But it is not easy for him to make such a decision! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although in the eyes of many Japanese troops, Shanxi is far less important than Hebei.However, Shanxi, which has been occupied with great effort, wants to hand over to the Eighth Route Army. I am afraid that it is something that many Japanese troops cannot accept.

Although there are not many cities occupied by the Japanese army in Shanxi today, these cities are the wealthiest areas in Shanxi.In these cities, the Japanese army can also obtain a lot of income and strategic resources every year.

For Japan, which lacks resources, it still feels somewhat reluctant to let them give up such a military important place.But with the current situation in Shanxi, I told them very clearly that Shanxi might not be able to hold on.

Lou Fan was broken through by the Eighth Route Army. It can only be said that the Eighth Route Army opened the gap to attack Taiyuan City.But the Japanese army still has a certain ability to hold this opened gap.But the fall of Yangqu City now really means that Taiyuan City is in danger!

Although the current troops in Taiyuan City should last for a while.But Itagaki is very clear that the time they can persist is probably very limited.Without reinforcements, the fall of Taiyuan City will happen sooner or later.

Whether to defend or withdraw, Itagaki seemed to be very entangled, and the commanders under his command who called for the meeting also seemed to have some disagreements.Such a situation made Itagaki, who hoped to get some opinions, feel very headache.

Even if Itagaki knows that they are now in Shanxi, they are more responsible for defending and guarding the occupied area.But now with the Eighth Route Army aggressively attacking Shanxi, they might not be able to hold on to the city of Taiyuan, which was finally occupied.

But itagaki also seemed a little unwilling to retreat like this.Whether to fight or defend, Itagaki finally chose to hand it over to the top of the North China Front Army to make a decision.In this way, he may be less punished.

As the commander of the Shanxi dispatched army, if Taiyuan is lost, Itagaki will inevitably be reprimanded by the military.If it is more serious, it may be severely punished, which is also very possible.

If you can report the situation and ask the front army for instructions, this kind of fault will undoubtedly be alleviated!

Received the telegram from Itagaki, and the North China side also seemed stunned.Perhaps in their view, they did not expect the situation in Shanxi to be in such a dangerous situation.

Whether to retreat or defend has become a difficult decision for them.But everyone knows that the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them.Some things, I'm afraid you still need to make a decision early!

Tada Hayao, still serving as the commander, saw that the staff of the command headquarters also had different opinions.He also said angrily: "Okay, don't fight any more. I'll just ask you a question, can Taiyuan hold it?" dudu1

'Report to the general, unless we send additional reinforcements to Shanxi.Otherwise, with only one infantry brigade in Taiyuan, I'm afraid it won't last long.Most importantly, once this infantry brigade is wiped out, Shanxi is really hopeless.

Right now, the [-]th Division is still stranded in Changzhi to fight the Eighth Route Army.Simply relying on the troops stationed in Shanxi to resist the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid it's still not very sure.It may be a wise choice to withdraw from Taiyuan.

Let the Fifth Division withdraw from Taiyuan City, transfer the main force to Jinzhong, and perhaps rescue the trapped [-]th Division.Even if it can save a division's troops, it is very important to us.

If these two divisions are all lost in the Shanxi battlefield, then we will really lose too much.Right now we have not many troops stationed in Hebei, and we need more troops to protect our interests in North China. '

Listening to the retreating combat staff officer, he quickly gave such an answer.Jun Tada looked at the staff officers who were leading the battle and said, "What do you want to say? With the current troops in Shanxi alone, can we resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army?"

In response to such inquiries, the combat staff of the main battle could only say: "General, if we abandon Shanxi, we will also pay a huge loss. But without reinforcements, the Shanxi dispatched army may not last long."

Although they were unwilling to hand over Shanxi, the staff officers of these main battles still understood that it was difficult to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army only with the existing troops stationed in Shanxi.If they don't withdraw, it will only be a lose-lose ending in the end.

Is Shanxi important, or the garrison in Shanxi is important.Faced with such a dilemma, the staff of the main battle finally chose the latter.At least in their view, as long as the troops can still be retained, there is always a chance to counterattack.

If these two divisions are all lost in Taiyuan City, although they can kill a group of Eighth Route Army.But in the end result, it is very likely that there will be a situation where both people and cities are lost.Retreating is actually a very sensible choice.

The staff who accompanied the main battle did not say a word, and Tada Hayao did not say anything more, he could only say: "Give the Shanxi Dispatched Army power, if there is nothing to do, let them retreat by camera!

After entering Jinzhong, if there is an opportunity, support the [-]th Division to break out from the territory of Changzhi.The Japanese troops in other areas of Shanxi also withdrew into Hebei as quickly as possible to avoid the front. "

When this telegram was sent to Itagaki, Banyuan could only say: "Order the troops to be prepared to withdraw from Taiyuan City at any time. In addition, order the troops on the front line to slow down the attack of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible." dudu2

After receiving such an order, Itagaki also knew that the front army had already helped him bear the pressure.Itagaki still felt that it was a pity that he really wanted to give up Taiyuan City.After all, this is the capital city of Shanxi, and it will be difficult to give up now and try to occupy it again next time.

As far as the current situation is concerned, once the Eighth Route Army recovers the entire territory of Shanxi, it means that the Eighth Route Army will also own two provinces.Even their strategic frontier can advance to the border of Hebei, which will endanger the security of Hebei in the future.

But if they don't retreat, even if they stick to Taiyuan City, they won't be able to hold on for too long.After all, the North China Front Army had no way to mobilize reinforcements for support.How long can Shanxi's troops last?

When Itagaki ordered the defending troops to prepare to withdraw from Taiyuan City at any time.Taiyuan City, which has entered a state of martial law, has also become very depressing and quiet.As for the people in the city, they also locked their doors early and hid in the cellar.

The fundamental reason why they didn't hide at home was that they were worried that the Eighth Route Army might launch shelling in the event of a major war.At that time, if you stay at home, you are likely to be attacked by shells.

It is relatively safer to hide in the cellar.Even if someone broke into their home, as long as they didn't open the cellar, it would be difficult to find their existence.In this case, it should be safer for them to come out after the battle is over.

Taiyuan City, where martial law was enforced, also seemed extraordinarily quiet and depressing.Compared with the Japanese army who was vigilant about the movement outside and inside the city, the puppet soldiers who cooperated with the Japanese army to defend the city seemed a little worried.

Even if they didn't know much about the situation outside the city, looking at the busy Japanese soldiers, they also knew that the situation was not optimistic.Once the Eighth Route Army launches a siege battle, I'm afraid they will not end well.

Just after the Japanese army decided to withdraw from Taiyuan City and only keep a part of the troops to defend the city, they bought time for the retreating troops.The commandos who had lurked in Taiyuan City in advance also began to make final preparations.

The weapons that were buried in the city earlier were also excavated by them in advance to equip them.During this period of time, in addition to inquiring about the intelligence of the Japanese army, they also stayed behind closed doors, waiting for the time to attack at any time.

The commando, who was on standby in a large mansion, looked at the liaison officer who suddenly came running from the tunnel, and said in surprise, "Master Xu, why are you here at this time? Isn't the little devil under martial law in the whole city?"

'fine!I came from the tunnel and didn't disturb the little devil.I'm afraid the situation will change, the little devil seems to be planning to retreat.Earlier, the Japanese army came to my food bank to urgently transfer a batch of food, and I inquired with the little devil who led the team. dudu3

After spending a little money, the little devil finally told me that they were going to withdraw from Taiyuan City tonight.Hurry up and report this situation to the headquarters to see if there are any new orders from the headquarters.Let the little devil retreat, or close the door and beat the dog! '

As many people in Taiyuan City know, the shopkeeper of the food store who is closer to the little devil.All the commandos who entered the city knew that the shopkeeper Xu in front of him was actually the head of their liaison station lurking in Taiyuan.

Many of the latest information about the Japanese army was also disclosed to the headquarters by him.Now the Japanese army seems to be under martial law in the whole city, but in fact they are secretly collecting strategic materials in the city and preparing to evacuate secretly.

Food stores like Fuyuan Food Store, which the Japanese army considered friendly, were also one of the targets of robbery by the little devils at this time.As for the food that was taken away by the little devil in the grain store, the little devil only issued a white note.

But the problem is, if you don't bring food to these little devils, everyone in the food business will be in danger.Whether you want money or die, has become the choice that these shopkeepers of grain stores in the city need to make.At this time, naturally no one dared to provoke the little devil.

When this information was passed to He Zhengdao, He Zhengdao, who was informed of the situation, also seemed very happy and said: "It seems that the little devil is very smart and made a wise choice. Going by yourself is better than letting us rush away." Be smart!
