    Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment, and then said: "Immediately send a telegram to the General Staff, telling them what we are encountering at this time, and asking them to dispatch some troops from the Hebei area, otherwise the entire battle situation in northwest Shanxi will be  Completely passive."

    After hearing this, Hondagawa immediately began to deliver various orders according to Yoshio Shinozuka's instructions.

    The 114th Division of Kusaba Tatsumi did not suffer too much losses in the Battle of Taibai Mountain. After simply replenishing its troops, it returned to Datong to garrison.

    At this time, after receiving the combat order, and it was Lingqiu County occupied by the troops attacking Xia Yang, Caochang Tatsumi immediately became energetic.

    He had long wanted to fight Xia Yang's troops again to avenge his previous humiliation.  It's just that during the previous battle of Taibai Mountain, his troops were responsible for the peripheral blockade and were unable to go deep into Taibai Mountain to fight Xia Yang directly.

    Now that the opportunity came, he ordered the troops to gather overnight and march towards Hunyuan County.

    After Hunyuan, you will reach Lingqiu County.  However, if they want to attack Lingqiu County, they still need to prepare some war materials in Hunyuan County before they can attack Lingqiu County with confidence and boldness.

    Hu San didn¡¯t know that when he led his men to attack the entire Lingqiu County, he would cause such a huge storm.

    The entire Japanese army in northwest Shanxi and Hebei was stirred up and participated in this battle.

    The operation to annihilate the Japanese troops in the city continued until noon the next day, when the gunfire throughout Lingqiu County slowly stopped.

    After Hu San and the others occupied Lingqiu County, they immediately reused the previously abandoned peripheral positions.

    They built a large defensive position on the outskirts of Lingqiu County.  The large amount of military supplies left by the Japanese army in the city also became their spoils of war.

    ??The reinforced concrete that the Japanese army originally planned to use themselves was now ordered by Hu San to build various bunkers and fortifications to withstand enemy attacks that might come at any time.

    In addition, a large number of people in Lingqiu County were also mobilized to participate in the construction of peripheral positions.

    These common people are already familiar with Xia Yang's troops.  There are even many soldiers in the security regiment participating in the operation this time who are their relatives.

    Therefore, the soldiers of the two regiments of the garrison can be regarded as the soldiers of the people of Lingqiu County.  Many people are afraid that these soldiers will not have enough to eat. Basically, at the entrance of the military camp, a lot of condolence food is delivered every morning.

    In the Wutai Mountain area, the Fourth Mountain Division led by Chen Shiliang also left their guerrilla zone after receiving Xia Yang's order and began to support Lingqiu County.

    Chen Shiliang's army has been recuperating for several months. The size of the army has expanded to tens of thousands. He has five mountain regiments. Not only are they well-equipped, but their soldiers are also of high quality.

    When Chen Shiliang's troops were setting off, troops led by He Changxing, Wei Xing, and Qiu Guoping in Xin'an County, far in western Henan, had also completed their assembly and planned to forcefully cross the Yellow River and attack the Japanese strongholds in southern Shanxi.

    The reason why they did this was that they were afraid that Yoshio Shinozuka would be cruel and transfer troops from the south to support the battle in northwest Shanxi.

    " Then Xia Yang's military strength will be somewhat stretched.

    The three divisions in Xin'an County have developed for more than a year and now have strong strength.

    The ones here are He Changxing's First Division, Wei Xing's Third Division, and Qiu Guoping's Independent Division.

    The combined combat strength of the three divisions has exceeded 40,000.  Moreover, they are well-equipped and have abundant ammunition. Several arsenals in western Henan have continuously produced a large amount of weapons and ammunition for them.

    In addition, they also have a large number of militia groups.  These militia regiments also receive militarized training and can be used as supplementary forces at any time to join the three regular combat divisions.

    They prepared a large number of wooden boats to cross the river at night.

    The Japanese troops in southern Shanxi are basically concentrated in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.  In other places, there are not many troops stationed.  In addition, the combat situation in northwest Shanxi is becoming increasingly severe. They have transferred some troops from the southern region, so the number of troops stationed in the entire southern region is very limited.

    He Changxing stood on the ferry and looked at the distant mountains with a telescope.

    Since the last time we crossed the Yellow River northAbout a year has passed since the battle.  At that time, in order to support Xia Yang and the others in the Wutai Mountains, they attacked several Japanese airports in the south, and at the same time annihilated some troops who came for reinforcements.

    This time they went out again, and their strength was different from what it was before.

    " Compared to last year, their military strength has about doubled, and the quality of their soldiers has also become higher through long-term training.

    By this time, the rainy season had passed, and the current of the Yellow River was not too fast. The first batch of landing troops quickly crossed the Yellow River and reached the north bank of the Yellow River.

    After the first batch of troops landed, they immediately began to dispatch troops to explore the surrounding areas and at the same time set up positions to cover the landing troops in the rear.

    Their troops were large in number, and they were transported one after another through a large number of wooden boats throughout the night before they were all able to cross the Yellow River.

    At this time, they are located in the southeast of Zhongtiao Mountain. After passing through the mountains, they can reach Jincheng City.

    This is an important city in southern Shanxi, but according to the latest intelligence, the number of Japanese troops stationed in Jincheng is less than one regiment.

    In fact, most of the Japanese troops in the southern part of Shanxi are concentrated near Zhongtiao Mountain, responsible for blocking the more than 100,000 Nationalist troops entrenched here.

    In urban areas, there are actually not too many defenders.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
