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

North China Regional Command.

At this time, Gang Cun was still in the office.

He just sent a telegram to the Nakano Branch in Shizhuang County in the morning....

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, a telegram from Nakano Branch came over.

"Your Excellency, Commander... something big has happened..."

"Shizhuang County was captured by the independent column!"

"General Nakanobra's life or death is uncertain..."

The major staff officer began to run in in a panic again. With a few words, Gangcun Ning was stunned in place.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roaring sound in the headquarters.

"Nani?"

"What the hell is going on... Didn't I just ask you to send a telegram to General Nakanobra?"

"Why, in the blink of an eye, this Nakano branch is gone?"

Gangcun Ningdie really doesn't understand how Shizhuang County was abandoned.

How did Nakano branch die...

"Report to your Excellency, Commander...This is a telegram from General Nakanobrachi..."

"I guess...it is estimated that Shizhuang County is gone..."

The major staff officer honestly took the telegram directly... Okamura Ningshi observed carefully.

"Bagaya Road... The damn independent column... actually hides its strength... Isn't this just to cause chaos on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi..."

"Once there is a problem with the 21st Division... it will give the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army a chance to breathe... They almost succeeded in encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao..."

"This grudge... we, the Empire of Japan, will remember! A small independent column actually dares to compete with the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan..."

"You are simply looking for death... After the Battle of Southwest Shanxi is over... I must arrange a large army to kill all this independent column!"

"Shizhuang County...is lost, and we will get it back...it belongs to the Empire of Japan...it will always belong to the Empire of Japan!"

"No one can get involved...including this independent column...Once we win, the next target to be killed...is this independent column!"

Gangcun Ningshi's eyes were filled with anger... He even vomited all over the ground.

The capture of Shizhuang County was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that the Nakano Branch could resist for a while... After all, the troops of this independent column had been surrounding Shizhuang County for several days.

There has been no further action. Now it seems that this is just a proactive show of weakness by the independent column, which wants chaos on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi.

Although the geographical location of Shizhuang County is very important, it is a key link on the entire Zhengtai Road... It is also a place where supplies from Shanxi Province must pass... However, the various parties on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi are already in the midst of a fierce battle. middle.

If you want to fight against Shizhuang County again... you must mobilize some troops from the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi...

This is what makes Gangcun Ningdie more troublesome...

"How are the other troops in Hebei Province doing?"

"The puppet army and the two independent mixed brigades..."

"And the flying squadron that protects the county town?"

Gangcun Ningshi suddenly asked, he actually sent various troops to support...not just the 21st Division, but the number is really a bit small...

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander...Basically, all our troop support has been hindered...either blocked by Central Army troops...or blocked by that force..."

"The flying squadron in Baoxian City has not taken any action...Didn't you tell them to stay where they are before..."

The Japanese Major told the story clearly.

"Baga Yalu... These damn Chinese people... have been doing some conspiracy... They dare not fight us head-on..."

"There is even the participation of the Central Army... I think they have lived for a long time... and they don't want to continue living!"

"I, Gangcun, will rather die than I will remember this account... Whether it is the independent column, that army, the Central Army, or the Shanxi-Sui Army... they will all die..."

"If we fail in this battle in southwestern Shanxi...even if I, Gangcun Ning, die...I will take revenge!"

"Deploy 300,000 Kwantung Army troops...to destroy these people!"

"However, now... is not the time... to immediately send a telegram to the division commander of the 21st Division to inform him of this matter..."

"Tell them not to support Shizhuang County...immediately launch a large-scale attack on the Ninth Army..."

"The remaining 33rd Division, 34th Division, 35th Division... and various puppet army units...immediately launched a large-scale attack on the nearby Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army..."

"Since Shizhuang County has been captured by the independent column...then this revenge must be avenged on the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army!"

"I'll wait and see how the Central Bureau and the Jinsui Army will fight us!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Gangcun Ning's eyes.

Looking straight at the map on the wall, there are dense red marks on it...

"In addition, notify the Baoxian City Flight Squadron and all aircraft of the Third Flight Group..."

"Be ready...replenish ammunition...assist various troops to launch large-scale attacks on the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army..."

"Drive them completely to both sides...have a decisive battle there! Try to defeat these people once and for all!"

"The debt owed by the independent column... then let the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army repay it!"

Okamura Ningshi said, making fists with both hands and slamming them on the table.

"Hi! Your Excellency, Commander!"

......

Battlefield in southwest Shanxi.

Near Jiyuan.

The temporary headquarters of Ninth Army Commander Sun Ke.

The two division commanders, chief of staff, and Sun Ke of the Ninth Army were gathered around an old table.

"Commander...this battle is not going to be easy..."

"The Japanese artillery fire was too fierce... We lost more than a dozen positions one after another..."

"Has been driven near the ferry..."

"A Japanese regiment is fiercely attacking my 71st Division..."

"The plane bombing alone... has been bombed three times..."

"Our artillery company was also taken over by the Japanese..."
