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

The night was dark, and this time Chen Ziyun used all kinds of intelligence to secretly reveal the news.

He believed that with Ouyang He's mind, he would be able to quickly locate Zhu Ziming and solve this scourge.

Chen Ziyun was about to go back to his room to rest, but Ouyang He appeared directly in front of him.

Ouyang He was wearing a military uniform, with the rank of colonel on his collar badge, and his perfect figure was well highlighted.

She is very beautiful and is the absolute center of attention wherever she goes.

"Director Ouyang has something to do with me?" Chen Ziyun looked at Ouyang He in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Commander Chen is really not simple. Many things can be analyzed from the fragmented information."

"I admire this very much. Back when we were in the attendant's room, we paid special attention to you."

"Here in Jin Province, you are known as a wise and capable general. We knew at that time that you were very resourceful."

"The three division chiefs praised you very much and think you can definitely be transferred to the Attendant's Room."

"It's just that you are needed on the battlefield in Jin Province, so this idea has been suppressed."

"Of course, looking at it now, even if it is a good place in the eyes of others, you may not be able to like it."

Ouyang He looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him and said calmly.

The Attendant's Room is the think tank of the principal, and those who can enter it are all capable.

And these are the principal's absolute closest friends, and they often deserve attention.

As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the people around the principal.

So even though their military ranks are generally low, no matter where they go, they are the ones everyone fawns over.

After all, the staff in the attendant's office can contact the principal at any time, and a few kind words are of great benefit.

However, Chen Ziyun is not interested in these things, and even if he is ordered to do so, he will not go.

"Director Ouyang is so ridiculous. I just have better luck."

"And there is a master who is constantly directing the battle. The brothers below are fighting desperately. I have to say that all the credit belongs to them."

"But I'm very curious. It's so good that Director Ouyang is serving in the attendant's room, but he has to come here to suffer."

"You should be aware of the situation of the 201st Division. The commander will definitely not make a statement easily at this time."

"Director Ouyang is here. If he just comes to persuade the 201st Division to switch to the direct troops, I'm afraid the division will return in vain."

Chen Ziyun said calmly that he was competing with Ouyang He.

Ouyang He's words had ulterior motives, and Chen Ziyun's words were also aimed at knocking Ouyang He down.

The two people looked at each other and then smiled at each other.

They didn't say anything more and left here in unison.

In the following time, the 201st Division and the Independent Detachment successively released rumors.

They constantly conveyed the message that they would give up fighting northward and use all their strength to defend Zhongtiao Mountain.

The purpose of this is to make the Japanese and puppet troops relax their vigilance.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun was constantly in direct contact with Ding Wei, and the two of them directly finalized the battle plan.

The entire process is completely confidential, let alone the grassroots officers and soldiers.

Even Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong did not interfere, and they did not know the specific content of the battle at all.

Time passed silently. On August 25, the southern Shanxi area was quiet, and no fighting took place.

However, here in northern Hebei Province, troops such as the 21st Division of the Little Devils continued to carry out combat operations.

They gathered superior forces to carry out a dragnet-style sweep, and the Japanese troops successively achieved results.

The Independent Mixed First, Seventh Brigade and other units also showed considerable combat effectiveness in this battle.

After being reinforced with heavy weapons, the combat effectiveness of these independent mixed brigades has been greatly improved.

That is to say, under such circumstances, Li Yunlong's independent detachment continued to receive combat orders.

Other troops in Hebei Province are also fully engaged in cooperative operations.

It's just that Okamura Neiji has been prepared for a long time, and he has prepared a response strategy, so it is basically difficult for these troops to carry out support operations.

At eight o'clock in the evening on the 25th, it is the hottest time now, Zhongtiao Mountain and Chengshan Mountain.

Li Yunlong came to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, which is currently responsible for garrisoning at Xicheng Mountain.

Of course, after the New Second Regiment leaves the Lishan area, they will also dispatch troops to Lishan for defense.

"The old brigade commander's messages are coming one after another. The little devils in Ji Province have gathered a lot of troops to launch a sweep."

"Our troops in Hebei Province suffered a certain amount of casualties, and some base areas were completely destroyed."

"This time the Japanese troops came well prepared, and their tactics were very ruthless, and their attack was a killer move."

"After entering our base area, we killed people we saw, robbed things we saw, and burned down houses we saw."

"Headquarters, division headquarters, and Taiyue Regional Headquarters have sent telegrams one after another, hoping that we can make some news here."

"Old Ding, how is the situation over there?"

Li Yunlong summoned Ding Wei and Kong Jie together and said with a serious expression on his face.

At present, Li Yunlong has obtained the relevant cable messages. Of course, it is impossible for them to arrest people randomly without evidence.

Therefore, Li Yunlong arranged for Zhao Gang to send people to monitor Zhu Ziming, and all deployments were kept highly confidential.

Regarding the attack by Ding Weixin's Second Regiment, Li Yunlong would not ask about the specific combat units and the time of the attack.

"I have been in contact with Commander Chen several times and already have a specific plan." Ding Wei answered directly.

Li Yunlong nodded and did not continue to ask.

"One more thing. Our plan to go north this time has obviously been leaked."

"After careful investigation, the information may have leaked from us."

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, you have to pay attention to the troops and don't let any little Japs spies."

"Of course, don't make people panic. Just pay attention. I believe there will be no problem in your army."

Li Yunlong continued to speak to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, with a solemn expression on his face.

After all, the message sent from above was very serious, although Zhu Ziming is now mainly suspected.

But Li Yunlong was not sure whether there would be anyone else besides Zhu Ziming among the tens of thousands of troops in the independent detachment.

Especially now that various ministries have added a certain number of puppet troops, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems among these people.

When Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard these words, they showed serious expressions on their faces and immediately nodded in agreement.

By one o'clock in the morning on August 26, the 201st Division and independent detachment troops began to secretly mobilize.Ding Weixin's Second Regiment, Li Chongtao's First Brigade, and Li Yangshan Artillery Regiment successively assembled here in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain.

These troops gathered together and hid on the spot. They did not take any action for the time being.

As for Lishan, the main force of the independent regiment and the attached artillery regiment were stationed to take over the defense.

In the morning, Chen Ziyun also arrived at the western part of Zhongtiao Mountain and met directly with these troops.

In this battle, the 358th Regiment, the 601st Regiment under the First Brigade, and the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters went out to fight.

In addition to the eight 105MM mountain cannons in the Liyang Mountain Artillery Battalion, 24 75MM mountain cannons were all dispatched to cooperate.

Their total strength is more than 1, and their overall strength is not weak.

Of course, considering that the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiangcheng and other areas have strengthened their defense deployment, Chen Ziyun does not plan to launch combat strikes from here.

He was preparing to launch an attack here in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain and attack the 36th Division stationed in the Yunxian area.

At present, the Little Devils control most of the towns in southern Shanxi. Among them, the 36th Division, which has a division headquarters in Yun County, is responsible for many defense tasks.

The 36th Division is responsible for the defense of Yun County, Xiacheng, Wenxi City, Houma City, Wanrong City and other areas.

The 36th Division belongs to the Third Regiment Security Division. With more than 1 troops stationed in so many towns, the strength is obviously insufficient.

They can only adopt key defenses, among which Yunxian, Wenxi City, and Wanrong City are the key defense areas of the Japanese army.

The three infantry regiments under it are all stationed here. In other areas, only the engineering regiment, baggage regiment, and search regiment are stationed.

The Mountain Artillery Regiment is controlled here in Yunxian County, and the regiment headquarters of the Little Japanese Division is also in Yunxian County.

Chen Ziyun already had a battle plan at this time, and he and Ding Wei discussed it several times.

They are preparing to adopt the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west, considering that there are currently a certain number of Japanese and puppet troops in the Jiangcheng area.

Moreover, these Japanese and puppet troops have already taken precautions and strengthened their defense deployment. If they attack directly, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Especially the Purple Mountain to the north of Jiangcheng has been captured, so it is naturally not a good choice to attack here.

Especially now that Ouyang He has also provided information, the 37th Division stationed in Pingyang City, an important town in southern Shanxi, has been mobilized.

The newly formed divisions of more than 1 people also went south to fight. Based on this information, Chen Ziyun was ready to advance deep into the Japanese army.

He wanted to attack Wenxi City first, then advance along the Tongpu Railway, directly capture Houma City, and then feint to Pingyang City area.

After mobilizing the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, they changed direction and quickly raided Jiangcheng and other areas.

Of course, now that the troops have just been assembled, Chen Ziyun did not immediately launch combat operations, but asked the troops to rest and recuperate.

Next, the two sides will fight together, and they definitely need to get familiar with it.

Doing this can also avoid leaking the news and allow the little devil to prepare a response strategy in advance.

After all, even Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong didn't know when they would launch their attack.

It was at this time that the headquarters of the Japanese First Army was here.

Army Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu stood in front of the map with a solemn expression on his face.

Maj. Gen. Chief of Staff Masanori Hanatani stood aside, frowning slightly.

They got accurate information through the second lesson. The 201st Division and the independent detachment were about to go north to attack.

The North China Front attached great importance to this and specially organized the 69th Division to replace the 37th Division and stationed in Pingyang City.

The 37th Division has secretly assembled in Purple Mountain at this time. As long as the 201st Division and other troops go out to fight, they will be dispatched at any time.

The Japanese and puppet troops assembled heavy troops in Jiangcheng and other areas to prepare to annihilate the attacking troops.

But so far there has been no movement here in Zhongtiao Mountain, which makes the First Army Headquarters feel a little ashamed.

Especially when the North China Front made a special inquiry, Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanatani Masa didn't know how to answer at all.

"Baga Yalu, this information is very likely to be false. The enemy troops in Zhongtiao Mountain have also sent messages several times. They have no intention of attacking at all."

"Our main force was completely attracted to Jiangcheng and other areas, and Tubal Road in southeastern Shanxi began to mobilize frequently."

"Currently, they are constantly launching combat activities towards eastern Shanxi. This is most likely their strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"The 37th Division is in Pingyang City and the 41st Division is in Luzhou City. These two divisions can effectively block Tuba Road in southeastern Shanxi."

"But now that the 37th Division has been mobilized and left, the 69th Division does not have the field capability, so Tubal Road has been able to carry out large-scale mobilization."

"Second lesson, these bastards, how do they fight?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the map for a while, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said viciously.

Hua Gu was standing aside in silence. The second class principal, the principal, lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.

"Your Majesty Commander, we...we are already contacting insiders."

"It's just that he hasn't sent back any news yet, but I believe that the information he provided is absolutely correct."

"Your Excellency Commander, perhaps the enemy is waiting for an opportunity, and sooner or later they will launch a combat attack."

The second section chief saw Yoshio Iwamatsu's expression becoming more and more fierce, and he reported fearfully.

"Continue to contact your so-called insiders and make sure to figure this out."

"In addition, contact the army headquarters and request whether the 33rd Division can be mobilized for combat."

"At present, our defense in the eastern Shanxi region is relatively weak, and the Zhengtai Railway may continue to be damaged at any time."

"Requesting authorization from the Front Army Headquarters allows us to command the 33rd Division to conduct operations and strengthen the defense of eastern Henan and other areas."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said with a gloomy face and a cold tone.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Hua Guzheng on the side agreed immediately.

At present, the main force of the Japs is mainly concentrated in the southern Shanxi area. Originally, four independent mixed brigades were stationed in different areas.

However, as the independent mixed 16th Brigade was expanded into the 69th Division, it was again assigned to the southern Shanxi area.

The First Army only has the third independent mixed brigade in central Shanxi, the eighth independent mixed brigade in eastern Shanxi, and the ninth independent mixed brigade in northwestern Shanxi.

There are also troops of the 33rd Division here in Jinzhong. This force is resting and replenishing here in Shanxi Province.

And they are directly under the North China Front Army, so the First Army has no right to command them.

However, the 33rd Division has almost recovered, and they are capable of fighting.

At this time, the Taiyue regional troops commanded by Commander Chen began to launch frequent attacks on the Zhengtai Railway.

As the 37th Division advanced into the ZiJS area, it was difficult for the Little Devil 69th Division to restrain Commander Chen's troops.

Here at the First Army Headquarters, both Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanatani Masaru have intelligence backgrounds, but after all, they are lieutenant generals and major generals, so they have some relevant abilities.

They knew very well that the independent eighth brigade, with more than 5000 troops, would be difficult to withstand the attack of Commander Chen's troops.

Therefore, they hope to mobilize the 33rd Division to strengthen the defense of the eastern Shanxi area. (End of chapter)
