With this time, he should have a serious discussion with Okamura Neji on how to block the onslaught of Xia Yang's hundreds of thousands of troops.
"How will our army respond to this enemy offensive?" Takeda Junpei said.
Okamura Neiji said: "Attack one after another to delay the attack. I will try my best to request assistance from other units of the North China Front. If it doesn't work, I will have to give up on Shanxi."
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the Japanese base camp has slowly shifted the focus of operations and focused its attention on the upcoming offensive in Southeast Asia.
As a senior military officer, Okamura Neiji can learn a lot of relevant information.
First of all, a large number of troops were mobilized. More than 200,000 elite Japanese troops were mobilized from the Chinese battlefield.
These Japanese troops were concentrated in coastal areas for beach landing and island seizing training.
At the same time, Japan¡¯s domestic industry is also in full swing. Dozens of transport ships and warships have been launched in just one year.
Okamura Neiji can vaguely feel that the scale of this operation in the base camp will be comparable to launching a war against China.
Because of the shift in strategic focus, all Japanese troops in North China can no longer mobilize troops to support Shanxi.
"If troops are rashly sent to the Shanxi area to support Okamura Neji, the territory they occupy is likely to be hollowed out in defense.
As long as the enemy opens a hole in their defense line, it will be like a flood breaking through a dam, and they can encroach on the territory they occupy at an extremely fast speed.
"Will the North China Command really invest troops in Shanxi?" Takeda Junpei asked.
Okamura Neiji looked at him and said: "As far as I know, it is almost impossible. They have no intention of launching a large-scale offensive now, but they want to focus all their energy on the new war that is about to happen."
"That Shanxi"
"It may be lost, so I said that if we can't hold on, we will retreat directly, join several other divisions from the southern Shanxi area, and then withdraw from Shanxi." Okamura Neiji said.
It was hard for him to believe that such words came out of his mouth.
Since he led his troops to invade this land, he has almost never lost a battle.
But now facing Xia Yang's surging offensive, he had a vague feeling that he couldn't resist it.
He was even a little afraid, afraid of Xia Yang who was as fierce as a tiger.
This person is too scary, too scary. It was so scary that when Okamura Neji had nightmares, he could even dream of Xia Yang chasing him behind with a samurai sword.
Takeda Junpei said: "I understand, General, I will lead the troops and hold on to the end. Until I can no longer resist."
"Okay, go ahead, I need to rest for a while." Okamura Neji said.
The forward commander was Takeda Junpei. After meeting with Okamura Neji, he left Taiyuan City directly and galloped towards the defense line in the northern part of Taiyuan City.
Xia Yang yawned loudly and woke up from his sleep.
This was the first time in several days that he woke up naturally, and he slept quite comfortably.
Their troops have arrived in Xinzhou City in the past two days.
The armored troops and the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, which arrived here on the first day, have already begun searching and advancing along the highway.
Their vanguard force has now arrived outside Yangqu County in the north of Taiyuan City.
This is a small city, but in order to resist Ri Xiayang's troops, the Japanese army has transformed it into a strong fortress.
It is only fifty kilometers away from Xinzhou City, and only more than twenty kilometers away from Taiyuan City.
If this place can be captured, the gates of Taiyuan City will be wide open, and it will be easy for Xia Yang's troops to attack Taiyuan.
To the south of Yangqu County is Qinglong Town, and beyond Qinglong Town is Taiyuan City.
Therefore, Xia Yang's troops mainly need to break down two hard bones.
One is Yangqu County, and the other is Qinglong Town, which occupies the chokepoint.
If Xia Yang can defeat Yangqu County, he only needs to place the heavy howitzer there, and its firepower can reach as far as Taiyuan City.
Li Yunlong¡¯s independent regiment and Kong Jie¡¯s new second regiment, after replenishing their reserve forces in Yuanping County, restored their previous organization.??became lively and energetic.
At this time, they were camping five kilometers outside Yangqu County with two tank regiments, a cavalry regiment, and a motorized infantry regiment.
They did not encounter many obstacles along the way. At most, they were blocked by a small group of Japanese troops.
These troops pose almost no threat to their advance.
The Japanese army also knew very well that they could hardly compete with Xia Yang's tank troops in field battles outside.
Even the well-equipped enemy infantry units are somewhat invincible.
So they chose to retreat to the periphery of the county town and use the surrounding permanent fortifications for defense.
On the city wall of Yangqu County, Takeda Junpei looked at the bright fire of the enemy's tent in the distance and knew that the enemy's attack would be launched soon.
Tomorrow morning at the latest and tonight at the earliest.
They deployed two brigades in Yangqu County.
But because the enemy has counter-artillery capabilities, they dare not use artillery bombardment.
Even if the enemy's brightly lit camp is the best target for bombardment, they dare not use the few remaining mountain artillery and field artillery casually.
In the camp of Li Yunlong and several other regiments, several leaders of the advance troops were also using telescopes to observe the Yangqu County city wall in the distance.
"The city is not big, but there are dense fortifications on the outside. At the same time, the city walls are full of light and heavy machine guns and mortars. The enemy is armed to the teeth and wants to fight us to the end."
Kong Jie, the leader of the new second regiment, took a puff of dry cigarette and said leisurely.
Li Yunlong said: "Yes, but I think our tank troops can still push through."
With that said, he looked at the leaders of several tank regiments and motorized infantry regiments next to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
