People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 220

Southwest Shanxi, Kenanpo, the second theater commander's department.

Night fell, about eleven o'clock in the evening.

Yan Laoxi stood in front of the map, looking at the location of Xin County on the map, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

When the little devil first came to Jin Province, Yan Laoxi was still willing to fight actively, trying to keep the Japanese army out of Jin Province.

However, after several large-scale battles at Niangziguan, Xinkou, Taiyuan, etc., the Jinsui army suffered heavy casualties.

Now Yan Laoxi is a little afraid of being beaten by the little devil, and he is worried that his little family fortune will be wiped out.

So he flirted with the Japanese army in private, hoping to stabilize the little devil and ensure the safety of the Jinsui army.

Chu Yunfei's independent 48th brigade continued to fight in Xin County, causing casualties to the Japanese army one after another, and effectively cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to fight.

The relevant personnel of the Japanese army have been warning Yan Laoxi constantly, and now they are directly threatening.

The little devil claimed that if Yan Laoxi did not quickly withdraw the independent 48th brigade, they would launch a fierce attack on the Jinsui Army and completely annihilate the Jinsui Army.

However, Yan Laoxi, who had seen strong winds and waves, did not know that the Japanese army did not have any spare troops to attack the Jinsui army.

"Yinfu, Qingbo, I was worried that the Independent 48th Brigade would lose the battle."

"They withdrew to the county town for defense one after another, and even let the little devils break into the city."

"But who would have thought that this is just their strategy, the purpose is to attract the Japanese army to take the initiative to attack, so as to completely annihilate them."

"Look, the main force of the Independent 48th Brigade, under the command of Chen Ziyun, has divided the Japanese army in Xin County into two."

"There will definitely be no problems in the next annihilation battle. They will definitely be able to completely annihilate the little devils in the city."

"Chu Yunfei is already a rare general. I didn't expect that Chen Ziyun would be so outstanding."

"The ability to appoint these students is really outstanding. Fortunately, they are not only the students of the appointment, but also my fellow villagers in Jin Province."

"If they are used by me, it will only be a matter of time before the lost territories of the Three Jin Dynasties are recovered, and our Jin Sui Army will surely become famous all over the world."

Yan Laoxi put the telegram just sent by the Independent 48th Brigade on the table, and said with a smug expression on his face.

Of course, thinking of the officers he trained, Yan Laoxi could only sigh inwardly.

Yan Laoxi founded the Academy as early as 19 years ago, and later developed into the Northern Military Academy.

After the defeat in the Central Plains War, the military officer school was also closed, but later Yan Laoxi made a comeback and directly formed the officer teaching group.

For 40 years now, more than 20 years, Yan Laoxi has also trained many officers.

However, these officers only served as grassroots officers of the Jinsui Army, and they were unable to provoke a large number of middle and high-level officers.

The middle and high-level officers of the Jinsui Army are mainly graduates of Baoding Military Academy.

Seeing the students like Principal Peidu gradually becoming famous in the battlefield, if Yan Laoxi said that he was not envious, he would be lying.

"Mr. Yan, the Independent 48th Brigade is about to achieve astonishing results in Xin County this time."

"Although they are high-ranking officials, they are also your fellow countrymen after all, and the Independent 48th Brigade is still in our Jinsui Army."

"Judging from the current situation, they are all from Jin Province, and they are more or less willing to stay here with the Jinsui Army."

Zhao Yinfu knew that the Independent 48th Brigade was about to win the victory in Xin County, so he hurried over and said.

Before he knew that these troops were defeated one after another, they were forced to retreat to the county town for defense, and immediately came to the chief's department.

The Independent 48th Brigade is currently directly under Zhao Yinfu's Seventh Army. If this army loses the battle, he is worried that Yan Laoxi will blame him.

But now knowing that Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are about to win the battle, Zhao Yinfu can be rewarded to some extent in terms of meritorious deeds.

"Mr. Yan, the Independent 48th Brigade is currently a super strengthened brigade with three infantry regiments and a huge direct army."

"Whether we can expand it into a division at the right time, if this force becomes a division-level combat force, it will benefit us a lot."

"And if you continue to promote Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun, then they will definitely be grateful to you."

Chu Qingbo, chief of staff in the theater, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yan Laoxi and suggested.

Yan Laoxi stood silently in front of the map, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Before he kept suppressing Chu Yunfei, he was worried that Chu Yunfei would lead his troops out of the Jinsui army system.

In that case, he, Yan Laoxi, would have to make a wedding dress for someone else.

It's just that the 358 regiment has now been expanded into an independent 48 brigade, which has grown to nearly 1 troops.

Chu Yunfei had no intention of leaving the Jinsui Army at all. Instead, under the banner of the Jinsui Army, they won many victories one after another.

It was also because of these victories that Yan Laoxi was able to stop Yoyo's mouth.

The headmaster who accompanied the capital kept warning him, and at the same time, the allocation of materials for the second war zone was also strictly restricted.

The principal was worried that Yan Laoxi would really take refuge in the little devil, so he took a series of actions.

However, as the Independent 48th Brigade achieved results one after another, these restrictions were gradually lifted.

The replenishment of the second theater has become much easier.

The accompanying capital even sent telegrams one after another, praising Yan Laoxi for his good command.

"Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun can definitely bring out a firefighting team on the battlefield!"

"They can also turn the tide and create all impossible results."

"Qingbo, in the name of the Minister's Department, you electrify the 48nd theater to reward the Independent [-]th Brigade."

"Yinfu, in the name of the General Command of the Seventh Army, you contacted Chu Yunfei by power generation. After the battle in Xin County, the department quickly withdrew to rest."

"They have been fighting one after another, and they have been depleted. Although they have been supplemented, they cannot continue to be depleted, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"In addition, in my name, send electricity to the accompanying capital, and strive for the number of a Class A division."

"Tell the accompanying capital that our Second War Zone will also form an assault division to undertake future counterattack operations."

After pondering for a while, Yan Laoxi immediately gave an order with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, Commander Yan." Zhao Yinfu and Chu Qingbo immediately saluted and agreed.

At present, the group army, corps, division, and regiment adopted by the Jinsui Army and other ministries are all wartime establishments.

According to the previous establishment, Class A divisions are the official establishment.

These Class A divisions will have three brigades and six regiments under their jurisdiction, and each brigade will also be equipped with an additional supplementary regiment.

In fact, such a Type A division will have three brigades and nine regiments. Counting the troops directly under the division and brigade, their strength will exceed 2.

The Japanese army used the division as the combat unit, and the capital was initially envisioned to use the Type A division as the combat unit.

But with the outbreak of war, soldiers and weapons, etc., they were forced to use the army as a combat unit.

At this time, Yan Laoxi wanted the number of a Class A division, so he naturally wanted to use it for the expansion of the Independent 48th Brigade.

Of course, this number needs to be applied for, and after the application is approved, Yan Laoxi also needs to carefully examine it.

After all, forming such an army would cost Yan Laoxi a lot of effort.

He had to ensure that Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun would stay in the Jinsui Army before they could expand.

Otherwise, if they ran away with the troops after the expansion, then Yan Laoxi would lose more than he gained.

Yan Laoxi was overjoyed by the performance of the Independent 48th Brigade in Xin County. At this time, he had the idea of ​​expanding it.

And this expansion, Yan Laoxi is going to give them the establishment of a Class A division.

Of course, this is just Yan Laoxi's idea. As for whether the accompanying capital agrees, it is not up to him to decide.

Time is passing, one o'clock in the morning on September [-]th.

The provincial capital of Jin Province is too far away, in the headquarters of the Little Devil's First Army.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka stood in front of the map with a gloomy face, his eyes were red with anger.

Major General Hideyoshi Kusuyama held the documents and kept reporting, his expression became more serious.

The head of the first section, Da Zuo, led the staff, and immediately marked it on the map according to the report of Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

At this time, for the Japanese army, whether it was fighting on the Zhengtai Railway or the Tongpu Railway, it was very difficult.

The 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 41st Division have each deployed a regiment of reinforcements and has already launched operations.

In the area too far south, they reunited with the independent 16th Brigade and the [-]th Brigade.

The total strength of these troops exceeds 1, and they advance directly to the south of the Zhengtai Railway.

At the same time, the reinforcements sent by the 110th Division directly fought with the independent mixed Eighth Brigade.

More than 2 little devil troops launched a north-south attack, but so far they have not been able to capture the main force of the 129th Division.

Instead, the units under the 129th Division carried out guerrilla warfare one after another, causing certain casualties to the little devils' troops.

In addition, here in Xinxian County, the Japanese and puppet troops who were originally engaged in counterattacks stumbled again.

Major General Kenzo Harada, head of the 26th Infantry Regiment under the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army, was killed and his troops suffered heavy losses.

The independent mixed fourth brigade commanded by Tsuda Mitake was also hit hard.

At this time, the remnants of the two armies were in Xinxian County, and Douluo Town was encircled.

The two field brigades in Xinxian County were cut and surrounded and lost contact with each other.

"Blossom in the center?"

"Mitake Tsuda is an idiot, he can't even be the captain of the second lieutenant!"

"Such a large number of troops have suffered such heavy losses, what face does he have to survive?"

"This waste should be cut open immediately!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but curse at this moment.

The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade has more than 8000 troops, and the reinforcements drawn from the Mongolian Army also have more than 8000 troops.

However, now there are a total of 6000 troops, and only about 4000 people have been beaten.

Moreover, these 4000 troops are constantly being divided and surrounded, and it is obviously only a matter of time before they are annihilated.

Once such casualties are paid, the First Army Command must bear the brunt here.

If he was held accountable, Shinozuka Yoshio might be dismissed from his current position.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the second lesson report, the Independent 48th Brigade also suffered casualties in previous operations."

"It's just that they were temporarily supplemented by the first and second theaters, so they quickly recovered their combat capabilities."

"Now in Xin County, there are not only the 48th Brigade of the Jinsui Army, but also the three infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army for coordinated operations."

"Based on the current situation, if we can't send reinforcements there quickly, Xin County will definitely fall."

"The troops here will also suffer a devastating blow."

After Kusuyama Hideyoshi finished his report, he looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and said softly.

Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help exhaling deeply, with a solemn expression on his face.

He looked at the map and said nothing.

Up to now, whether it is the First Army or the North China Front Army, almost all the troops they can mobilize have been mobilized to participate in the war.

It is almost impossible to draw other reinforcements.

But he also knew that Xin County could be regained temporarily, but all the troops here could not be wiped out.

Otherwise, if more than 1 troops are completely annihilated, this series of impacts cannot be borne by him.

"Contact the head of Chishang Xianji's brigade and ask him to transfer a unit from the independent and mixed ninth brigade, and attach it to the security regiment and other troops to advance towards Xin County."

"Deploy a squadron of armored vehicles from the troops directly under the army and assign them to fight, so as to ensure that the Xinxian troops can break out of the encirclement."

"Contact the air force and ask them to deploy no less than six bombers, and fully cooperate with the operation in Xin County after dawn."

"Tell Tsuda Mitake, this idiot, no matter what, we must ensure that some troops break out safely."

Yoshio Shinozuka clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

For him, such a battle is simply the greatest shame.

But he didn't have the slightest choice, after all, he had very limited troops.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Kusuyama Hideyoshi immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, the First Army Command quickly contacted Major General Ikegami Kenkichi, head of the independent and mixed Ninth Brigade.

The Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade is responsible for the defense of too far away areas, and its 40th Independent Infantry Brigade once stationed in Hesuo Town.

However, the 40th Brigade of the Independent Infantry was attacked by Chen Ziyun and suffered heavy casualties.

Now the independent and mixed Ninth Brigade not only has to undertake the defense of too far away areas, but they have also deployed artillery, cavalry and other troops directly under the brigade to strengthen their operations on the Zhengtai Railway.

So at this time, they didn't have many troops, and Kenkichi Ikegami was very embarrassed by the order of the military headquarters.

Of course, he didn't have the guts to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and form an army.

Two infantry squadrons, two machine gun squadrons, about [-] little devil troops were drawn out.

At the same time, Kenji Ikegami mobilized more than 1000 puppet troops from the too far away area, and he barely pieced together [-] Japanese puppet troops.

The two thousand Japanese puppet troops, equipped with twelve armored vehicles, began to gather in Yangqu, far north.

Once they're assembled, they'll head straight north.

They will directly bypass Baizi Mountain and Crouching Tiger Mountain, and quickly go to Douluo Town to meet Tsuda Meiwu's troops to break out of the encirclement.

The First Army Command can only do so much.

Of course, at this time here in Xinxian County, the fierce battle is still going on.

Chen Ziyun commanded the guard company and other troops to cut off the third and fourth battalions of the field infantry. After capturing the junction, he issued an order to continue the operation.

Now the area south of the county seat has made major adjustments, and the 11th Reserve Regiment has undertaken the defense task of the junction.

The 358th regiment strengthened the guard company, and the field artillery battalion carried out annihilation operations against the third field infantry brigade on the east side.
