Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Tanaka Jiuyi was really angry this time.

Although the soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade are relatively arrogant.

But...this arrogance also has their own merits!

The cavalry did give them great support on the battlefield.

As long as it is a charge... the cavalry troops must be put first, and they have successively helped their 21st Division to capture many troops of the Ninth Army of the Central Army!

But now, the Ninth Army of the Jinsui Army dared to sneak attack the Fourth Cavalry Brigade.

Isn't this a slap in their face?

Tanaka had been preparing to launch an attack on the Ninth Army at dawn for a long time... Unexpectedly, it was now much earlier.

The Ninth Army is looking for death...then Tanaka Jiuji must be allowed to give orders!

So, all the troops were directly dispatched...

His division has many people, three infantry regiments!

There is also an additional tank regiment and artillery regiment. Of course, this was specially formed by Gangcun Ningsheng to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in southwestern Shanxi.

After the battle, this 21st Division will be what it should be.

At this time, the 21st Division was still a Class B division and implemented a tripartite system.

In other words, there are three infantry regiments, but no infantry brigades... The captains of the three infantry regiments are all at the rank of colonel.

There are 12 field guns...57 12mm caliber flat-firing guns, and 12 Type infantry guns...

轻机枪有200多挺，重机枪不到60挺...掷弹筒也是有200多具...90mm迫击炮也有20多门....

It seems that this firepower is not very good, but there is still a certain gap compared with the Ninth Army of the Jinsui Army.

There are many people in this Japanese army, but the number of cannons possessed by the B Division with this many people is even more than half of the number of cannons of the Ninth Army.

再加上另外一个炮兵联队....12门九二式步兵炮，12门四一式野炮，8门105mm口径榴弹炮以及6门150mm口径榴弹炮....

This is more artillery than the Ninth Army, not to mention a tank regiment and dozens of tanks!

That's also dozens of cannons!

For the Ninth Army, this would be a nightmare.

Sun Ke, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Group Army, probably never dreamed that the cavalry brigade was fought by an independent column, but his Ninth Group Army would become the scapegoat...

What he doesn't know yet is that in the future, he will have to be grateful to the Independent Column...

Ninth Army Headquarters.

At this time, Sun Ke still didn't know the Japanese's actions.

We are studying how to cooperate with the Ninth Army of the Central Army...

Launched a counterattack against the Japanese near Jiyuan County.

His Ninth Army has three armies with nearly 6 troops...

There are also two artillery regiments, with a total of 72 cannons....

However, facing the little devil, I was a little hesitant.

After all, his group army fought against a Japanese division during the Battle of Taiyuan, but suffered heavy losses.

"Currently...the three armies of the Ninth Group Army have been deployed..."

"The whole army is close to the enemy...the fighting spirit is high...the counterattack is very vigorous...this is good!"

Sun Ke looked at the people in the headquarters and pointed at the map with his baton.

"But...there is news recently..."

"That is...the independent column from Xiyang County has arrived...although I don't know where they have arrived..."

"But it must not be far from us!"

At the mention of the independent column, Sun Ke became furious.

This independent column has repeatedly opposed him... In other words, it has never treated him well as the commander of the Ninth Group Army!

It slaps him in the face every time.

"We must show our own momentum...let the people of Jin Province know...that not only independent columns can win the war in Jin Province!"

"Our Ninth Army can also win the battle!"

"Japanese...after all, they are just a bunch of beasts...can we humans still be unable to defeat beasts?"

"This battle... can only succeed, not fail!"

"General Tang, the commander of the Third Army of the Central Army, is dead... I, a good man of the Jinsui Army, cannot back down!"

"Once we back down...the whole southwestern Shanxi will turn into chaos!"

"At that time... once the Japs finish the campaign in southwestern Shanxi, the target of their next attack must be our Jinsui Army, not that army!"

"The Third Commander Yanxi has ordered us to defend Jiyuan County! We cannot allow the Japanese to move forward..."

"Do you understand everything?"

Sun Ke looked at the people around him and said loudly, his confidence was beyond words...

"understand!"

"I understand Commander!"

Dong-dong-dong...a knock on the door came.

Sun Ke said: "Come in!"

I saw a lieutenant colonel from the Jinsui Army hurriedly walking over with documents.

"Commander...The Japanese 21st Division has begun to attack..."

"The 71st Army and the 72nd Army were attacked to varying degrees respectively.... The battle has just begun.... The commanders of the 71st Army and the 72nd Army will report to you...."

When Sun Ke heard this, he hurriedly picked up the telegram and was shocked when he saw it.

Then, he threw the telegram directly on the table.

Continue to look at everyone.

"You all heard it!"

"The little devil is so ambitious... We just finished deploying the battle plan... The devil here can't hold it back anymore..."

"The group army that wants to attack us... is a wishful thinking! I really feel that our ninth group army is just for the taking! Can we do whatever we want?"

"Tell these two troops immediately...to fight the Japanese! Don't take a step back...I will send the artillery regiment to support!"

"Besides that, we must fight positional warfare! The Japanese have many planes...and tanks...We can't let them have the advantage!"

"And that cavalry brigade..."

When he mentioned this, the lieutenant colonel seemed to have thought of something.

"Commander... the Japanese's 4th Cavalry Brigade seems to have been... attacked... Our people... while conducting reconnaissance on Guanjiapo, found the Japanese's heads... laid out in one piece. ..."

"The Japanese cavalry originally stationed at Guanjiapo... also disappeared..."

"I guess... I guess... it's very possible that he was killed..."
