Brilliant Sword: Fighting against the Xixi System One Hundred Thousand Japanese Army

The [-]th Division, within the division headquarters.

The division commander and division political commissar are reading the siege report sent by Lu Feng.

The teacher said, "We thought the devils would move the 110th Division first."

"Wait until the 110th Division arrives in Taiyuan first, and the devil's independent and mixed third brigade will move."

"In this way, the devils will form a powerful army in Taiyuan."

"When we attacked Xinzhou, we had to use a considerable part of our strength to block Taiyuan's attack."

"However, now, the devils are actually moving first to form the third independent brigade."

"At this time, the 110th Division has not yet arrived in Taiyuan, and it is completely idiotic to want to reinforce Xinzhou."

The political commissar of the division nodded: "I see, probably Yoshio Iwamatsu recalled the third independent mixed brigade in order to keep Taiyuan safe."

"It will reduce our psychological pressure of attacking Xinzhou a lot."

The teacher smiled and said, "Actually, I hope that Yoshio Iwamatsu will follow the safest plan."

"In this way, if we gather around to fight for aid, maybe we can eat a large part of the devils."

The political commissar of the division nodded: "It makes sense, but now the devil has chosen to give up Xinzhou City first."

"Then we also need to make some changes to our original plan."

"Let, stop the troops, delay the time at least, drag it to the 386th brigade to take Xinzhou City."

----

The division commander and the division political commissar were right in thinking.

It is indeed Yoshio Iwamatsu's personal idea to withdraw the independent and mixed third brigade in Xinzhou City as a priority.

This also puzzled Jieyuan Xuanyi, the chief of staff.

Chief of Staff Jieyuan asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency General Yansong, please allow me to say something offensive."

"Now you are in a hurry to combine the independent into the third brigade and transfer it back to Taiyuan. I think it is inappropriate."

"This is throwing Xinzhou to Tuba Road. If the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, General Hisao Nishio, or the General Staff Headquarters find out, they will punish you severely, and even make you commit seppuku."

The corners of Yoshio Iwamatsu's mouth curled up: "Hayao Tada wanted me to bear the cauldron of losing Jinju a long time ago, so he committed seppuku."

"Yoshio Shinozuka is a lesson from the past."

"Tada Jun wants me to blame me, but I don't want to. As long as I can't lose Taiyuan City, Tada Jun has no reason for me to commit seppuku."

Chief of Staff Jieyuan still comforted him, "However, General Yansong, if you leave the third brigade in Xinzhou, it may take some of the Tuba Road's energy back."

Yoshio Yanmatsu said with a smile: "Restrain part of Tubalu's energy?"

"Jieyuan-jun, you think too little. If we leave the independent third brigade in Xinzhou, then it will not be the case. We will take the energy of the Tuba Road, but the Tuba Road will take our energy."

Chief of Staff Jieyuan asked suspiciously: "General Yansong, how do you say that?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "Jieyuan-kun, let me ask you, if the independent third brigade will stay in Xinzhou City."

"Tuba Road besieges Xinzhou City, whether you save it or not!"

Chief of Staff Jieyuan was at a loss for words for a moment, and his expression became very ugly. He now knew that Yoshio Iwamatsu was right.

Yoshio Yanmatsu laughed: "Chief Jieyuan, now you know why I gave Xinzhou City to Tuba Road."

"At that time, the independent mixed third brigade, if surrounded."

"If we don't save her, then it's like refusing to save her, and she will be cut open."

"If they are rescued, then they will fall into the siege of Tuba Road to fight for reinforcements, and lose troops and generals, and they will still be cut open."

"It's better to transfer the independent third brigade back and give up Xinzhou City to Tuba Road."

"As long as the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain is resolved, we will bring Xinzhou back."

"We can justifiably say that this is a strategic shift, a tactical mobilization to preserve vitality."

"Jieyuan-Jun, you don't think that the 20 Little Locust Army can't win the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and can't successfully mop up the Tuba Road, right?"

Jieyuan Xuanyi responded: "Of course, I firmly believe that the locust army of the 20-year-old brother country is invincible in the world. No one can stop the 20-year-old brother's locust army!"

If Lu Feng's original plan was not to really attack Taiyuan, but to pretend to attack Taiyuan, then Yoshio Iwamatsu's plan had indeed succeeded.

But Yoshio Yansong never imagined that Lu Feng had already regarded Taiyuan as something in his pocket.

----

Just to the north not far from Taiyuan City, a group of puppet soldiers were huddling in the city wall, holding up their white flags, and said tremblingly: "Brothers from the eight roads under the city, don't shoot, it's all our own people, we are willing to surrender."

The head of the 772 regiment, Cheng, shouted loudly from below: "Who the hell is brother to you, if you want to surrender, you'd better show some sincerity.

While talking, Captain Cheng patted the [-]-type infantry cannon: "Otherwise, have you seen this cannon? Even if the city wall is bombed, we can also blast it away!"

Head Cheng threatened: "Then when the time comes, don't blame us for not giving you a chance to surrender."

The puppet army asked tremblingly: "How can you be sincere?"

Leader Cheng said: "First of all, you have to lay down your weapons and come out and surrender."

The puppet army still wanted to bargain: "Can you not hand over your weapons?"

Captain Cheng cursed: "Damn it, Artillery Battalion, fire!"

The puppet army stood up and shouted: "Don't fire, don't fire, we are willing to lay down our weapons!"

Speaking of the puppet army, he ordered, opened the city gate, and walked out with the gun in his hand.

Captain Cheng saw that the puppet army surrendered just like that, and turned to ask Lu Feng, "Master, what should we do with these two devils?"

Lu Feng said calmly: "Leave it to the brigade commander. We are not here to deal with them. These things are not worth our time."

"Since the county seat has been taken, let's move forward immediately."

Captain Cheng agreed: "Yes!"

The 772 regiment continued to advance towards Xinzhou.

Along the way, there were several devil's gun towers, this time Lu Feng did not let the special forces carry out the assassination.

Instead, shoot directly to solve the problem.

After all, Lu Feng brought a heavy artillery regiment.

The devil didn't even have time to make a call for help, so he went to the sky with the whole blockhouse.

The 772 regiment arrived at the city of Xinzhou almost at the speed of a forced march.

At this moment, dozens of bunkers stood between the 772nd Regiment and Xinzhou City.

The actions of the 772 regiment have long been known to the devils, and now the devils in the bunkers are already ready to attack, just want to use dozens of bunkers to bring huge damage to the Eighth Route Army.

The devil's captain stood on the tower, with a confident face on his face, and said to the puppet soldiers beside him: "With the firepower of my country in my childhood, this group of bastards, don't even think about touching the root of the city wall."
