And their plaster flags are getting fewer and fewer. At this time, only a few cities in the central Shanxi area and southern Shanxi area are left.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the enemies in Yuanping County seem to be making moves. We must seize the time to attack Yuanping County. Otherwise, in a few days, the supplies of the Fifth Division will be exhausted, and they will be unable to stop the enemy. We are attacking." Japanese Chief of Staff Takeda Junpei said.
"I understand, it is indeed very difficult for the enemy to occupy Yuanping County. We must capture Yuanping County." Okamura Neiji said, then he set his sights on the southern Shanxi area.
At that location, he still had several reorganized divisions and independent mixed brigades, and he only needed to mobilize some of them to attack Yuanping County.
¡°Order the 37th Division and the 13th Mixed Brigade in the southern Shanxi area to go north immediately to assist us in attacking Yuanping County.
Itagaki Seishiro and the others' battles consumed a huge amount of money. If our transportation is not timely, they will most likely run out of ammunition and food. They estimated that it would take at most a week before their ammunition would be exhausted. As for food, etc., it can last about a month. "Okamura Neji said.
"Yes! I'll send them a telegram right away."
Chief of Staff Takeda Junpei said and was about to go out.
But at this moment, a staff officer hurried over and handed over a compiled telegram.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our army's many strongholds and cities in southern Shanxi have been fiercely attacked by the enemy." The staff officer reported loudly.
Hearing this, Okamura Neiji immediately received the telegram, and then began to mark the places where he was attacked on the map.
Before he finished marking, another staff officer ran over.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, signs of large enemy troop movements have been found in Xinxiang and Jiyuan areas, and they seem to want to attack these two cities."
After hearing this, Neji Okamura lowered his head and started to mark these two cities on the map.
It seems that they were contacted in advance. The National Army troops in Zhongtiao Mountain and Xia Yang's Fourth Army troops in southern Shanxi both launched attacks on several major Japanese cities at the same time, or were deliberately exposed to the Japanese army. The marching trail tells them I'm coming to fight you.
Okamura Neji¡¯s expression became more and more solemn, and he shouted loudly: ¡°What are the numbers of the troops attacking these cities? Have you investigated clearly?¡±
"In the Zhongtiao Mountain area, it is the Central Army of the National Army. Judging from their uniforms, there are also some troops from the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Northeast Army.
In the northern Henan area, it is the enemy that attacked Jincheng before. Their equipment is better, and they seem to have heavy artillery units. Our troops in northern Henan are already ready. "The staff officer immediately shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the expression on Okamura Neji's face became even more ugly.
He is not afraid of the national troops in Zhongtiao Mountain because their intelligence department has conducted investigations there for a long time. I found that there were many factions there, with intricate spheres of influence, and they were not monolithic at all.
If we really attack, it will only take about a month to wipe out the more than 100,000 enemy troops entrenched there.
But now, this group of enemies, who originally refused to obey anyone and fought on their own, began to attack them simultaneously.
Although the fighting ability of this group of people is not very good, if they really become a rope, it will be enough to give people a headache.
"I really want to know why this ragtag group of people who did not have a unified command suddenly became so united. Their actions are not without purpose, but have a unified combat goal and strategic intention."
As Okamura Neiji spoke, he set his sights on Fanzhi County and Yanmen Pass.
¡°It seems that they are cooperating with their attack.
Could it be that the Chongqing government suddenly completed negotiations with the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army and put them all under unified command?
With an army of 500,000 to 600,000 people, who can really conquer the masses? "Okamura Neji said.
Next to him, Takeda Junpei said: "If there really is such a person, then apart from their president, there is only one person left."
"Xia Yang?"
Okamura Neji vaguely guessed it.
"Yes, this man has great military exploits, and his troops are so powerful in combat. I thought about it. That means he has such prestige and can command such a group of proud soldiers." Takeda JunPingdao.
"If this is the case, then we can only dispatch troops from the Taiyuan area to attack Yuanping County.
If troops from the southern Shanxi region are mobilized rashly, a gap will appear in the defense line. Their army is likely to march straight into Taiyuan. By then we will only be more passive. "Okamura Neji said.
"However, our military strength in the Taiyuan area is not very large." Takeda Junpei said.
"I know. Just think about how many mobile troops we can muster. We must attack Yuanping County," Okamura Neiji said.
Several staff officers quickly began to calculate.
After a few minutes, they finally got a rough result.
"Including the two surrounding Imperial Alliance Army divisions with more than 10,000 people and the two mixed brigades, we should be able to gather more than 20,000 people. In addition, there is also a tank regiment with more than 2,000 people. And a cavalry regiment directly under the military headquarters." Takeda Junhei reported.
"If you calculate it this way, there are nearly 30,000 people. Then use these 30,000 people to attack Yuanping County. You will lead it yourself. Within five days, you must take Yuanping County back from the enemy's hands." Okamura Neji said loudly.
"Yes!! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!!"
Takeda Junpei replied loudly.
The Japanese mobile troops around Taiyuan began to quickly complete their assembly, and then set off for the Xinzhou area.
Starting from Xinzhou, dozens of kilometers to the north is Yuanping County.
There are only 12,000 garrison troops left in Yuanping County.
Several thousand of them are guerrillas who were active in surrounding areas before. The others are the independent regiment, the new regiment, and the defensive troops left behind by the 189th Brigade.
The other two troops, one went north to attack Yanmen Pass, and the other was broken into pieces and began to destroy Japanese strongholds, roads, etc. along the line, hindering the Japanese attack and transportation to the greatest extent.
The person who stayed behind to command the battle in Yuanping County was Ding Wei, the leader of the new regiment.
This man can be regarded as a handsome man. The highest position in history has reached the rank of army commander. In the Northeast region, he commanded several glorious battles.
Even during the Anti-Japanese War, he achieved many good results and had a very thorough analysis of the overall situation.
It can be said that it is very appropriate for him to command the battles around Yuanping County.
As for Li Yunlong, who was best at charging into battle and beating his master to death with random punches, he and Bai Mingxuan went to sneak attack the Japanese army at Yanmen Pass. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
