    Taiyuan. First Army Headquarters.

    The news that Jincheng was captured by the "Tuba Road" has been sent to the First Army Headquarters and placed on the desk of Yoshio Shinozuka!

    Holding Colonel Saito¡¯s farewell telegram in his hand, Yoshio Shinozuka felt quite uncomfortable!

    He knew Saito. He was a young commander whom he valued very much. Although this person's command level was not very high, he was cautious and rare among the officers of the Imperial Japanese Army. Such a commander was responsible for the defense.  The commander of the troops is the most suitable.

    Originally, Xu Ziyu was planning to transfer him to the 16th Mixed Brigade as the brigade commander, but unexpectedly, he died in Jincheng.

    This made Yoshio Shinozuka angry, and he had to send someone again to urge the 33rd Division Headquarters to ask where the reinforcements had gone.

    However, what Shinozuka Yoshio and others did not expect was that the commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai Shosan, actually replied to him that the reinforcements had set off a few hours ago and should have arrived in Jincheng long ago.

    But just now they contacted the Katayama brigade by telegram, but received no reply. The entire army was like a cow drowning in mud, and there was no news after they left.

    After receiving the telegram from the 33rd Division Headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately felt an ominous premonition.

    Immediately ordered the planes from the airport outside the city to take off, and then conducted reconnaissance along the highway between Yangcheng and Jincheng. At the same time, the 33rd Division was also asked to dispatch cavalry troops to conduct reconnaissance and search.

    At 11:30 p.m., news finally came. A reconnaissance plane saw a large number of dead bodies on a mountain road more than ten miles west of Jincheng. These dead bodies were all wearing imperial army uniforms, and there were a large number of cars on the mountain road.  The wreckage should be the Imperial Army reinforcements that lost contact.

    In addition, the aviation force also flew to Jincheng for reconnaissance and found that there was no sign of exchange of fire there, and the Imperial Rising Sun flag that had been flying at the top of the city had now disappeared. Instead, the government's red flag was flying high in the blue sky and the sun was all over the ground.  High flying.

    Various signs indicate that not only Jincheng has been captured by the enemy, but also all the reinforcements sent to Jincheng have been destroyed!

    Shinozuka Yoshio was completely shocked. He had always thought that Tubalu had done it, but judging from the current situation, it didn't seem to be Tubalu's handiwork.

    First of all, Tubal Road does not have such strong combat effectiveness. From Changzhi to Jincheng, the distance is more than 90 kilometers. During this period, it also separated Gaoping and Huguan. However, the army captured all these places overnight.  The Eighth Route Army's ability to attack difficult problems is obviously beyond its capabilities.

    Secondly, the total number of reinforcements they sent to Jincheng was 5,500. They were all field elites of the Imperial Japanese Army. If Tuba Road wanted to completely annihilate this army, it would need to dispatch at least 50,000 to 100,000 people, but such a large-scale  Obviously, the troop mobilization cannot be hidden from the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Finally, there are definitely not many troops who can do this quietly, and these people naturally do not include Tubalu.

    At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately sent scouts to continue investigating in the direction of Jincheng to see who the enemies in Jincheng city were.

    At the same time, Yoshio Shinozuka also called Yangcheng and asked the 33rd Division to immediately shrink its troops to prevent the troops from the Jincheng direction from attacking Yangcheng.

    After doing this, Yoshio Shinozuka still felt uneasy. After thinking about it again and again, he immediately reported the situation to the direction of Peiping and asked the front army's secret service agency to cooperate in investigating the matter. It was necessary to find out what the branch/unit in the direction of Jincheng was.  serial number.

    Peiping. North China Front Army Headquarters!

    Jun Tada looked at the telegram in his hand with a gloomy face. In Changzhi and Jincheng, the Imperial Japanese Army lost more than 8,000 elite soldiers overnight. In addition, the strategic location of Jincheng was lost, which caused a huge loss in morale to the Imperial Army on the front line.  The damage is immeasurable.

    So after receiving the telegram from the 1st Military Law Command, Jun Tada's anger went straight to his forehead, and he directly ordered people to scold the entire 1st Army Headquarters including Yoshio Shinozuka.

    However, Tada Shun knew that swearing could not solve any problems, it could only allow him to simply vent his anger.

    Now that people have finished scolding, it¡¯s time to solve the follow-up problems!

    ¡°But he couldn¡¯t find out this kind of thing by himself, he had to rely on the secret service. At that moment, Tada Shun ordered someone to call Hattori Saburo!

    ¡°Ding-deng-deng¡±

    The knock on the door awakened Jun Tada from his tired thoughts, and he immediately said: "Come in!"

    After the door was pushed open, Hattori Saburo's stern face appeared in sight!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, you are looking for me!"

    "Well, sit down!"

    ?After waiting for people to sit down, Tada Shun asked in a deep voice: "Hattori, I just received news from the First Army Headquarters that seven or eight counties in Changzhi and Jincheng, two important cities, were captured overnight.  Even the reinforcements they sent to Jincheng were completely wiped out, do you know who did it?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Hattori Saburo said in a deep voice: "I am preparing to report this matter to you. We have found out the matter clearly. It was Li Guoyao's Jiujiu Army who did it!"

    "Nani, the Ninth Army is under Li Guoyao's command, are you sure?"

    "Hai, I can confirm that it was indeed Li Guoyao's command that took action!"

    "How is this possible? Isn't the main force of Li Guoyao's army in Xiong'er Mountain, Shandong? How could they suddenly appear in southern Shanxi? Can they fly?" Tada Jun asked loudly.

    "Your Excellency, it is unclear whether Li Guoyao's subordinates will take a humble position, but it is indeed Li Guoyao's subordinates who conquered Jincheng. There is no doubt about this!" Hattori Saburo said.

    "Is he really under Li Guoyao?"

    "Hai! This is top-secret information we obtained from the commander of the first theater area using a high-level chess piece. It should be correct!"

    ¡° Then Jun Tada fell into deep thought. If it was really Li Guoyao¡¯s subordinates who took action, then this matter would be troublesome.

    That guy Li Guoyao is like a vicious hungry wolf. He will bite him suddenly when he is not prepared, and every time he is bitten, his muscles and bones will be broken. Tada Shun is really afraid.

    What's more, this battle is not a usual small fight. The North China Front Army dispatched nearly 100,000 troops in this battle. The purpose is to completely wipe out the Chinese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. Once it is torn apart by Li Guoyao's troops in the northeast,  If you open a hole, the consequences will be disastrous.

    Losing a Jincheng is a trivial matter. Once all the Chinese troops in the encirclement are released, all the previous efforts will be wasted!

    At that moment, Jun Tada no longer hesitated and directly ordered the Japanese troops in Anyang, Jin and other places to gather immediately and be ready to reinforce Jincheng at any time.

    At the same time, the main force of the 33rd Division in the direction of Yangcheng gave up going south and returned to support Yangcheng.

    In the view of Tada Shun and others, as long as Yangcheng is defended, the entire encirclement will be fine. At most, they will not be able to attack the 14th Army with the troops on the southern front.

    But Tada Shun and others believed that even without the coordinated operations of the northern front troops, Liu Enmao's troops could be defeated or even completely annihilated by relying solely on the 35th Division and other troops.

    ¡°As everyone knows, at this time Liu Enmao¡¯s command has figured out the actual situation of the Japanese army, and the main force is heading north at full speed, preparing to break through the northern line.

    "The happiest person at this time was the commander of the First Theater District. After receiving the enemy situation report from Li Guoyao's department, the commander of the First Theater District was excited.

    Due to their tactical mistakes in this battle, more than 100,000 troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area were trapped in a tight encirclement. So far, only a small number of troops have broken out, and most of the troops are still surrounded by the Japanese army.

    ¡°And the little devils are consciously narrowing the encirclement. For the national army in the encirclement, life and death are in an instant.

    Fortunately, Li Guoyao's troops descended like magic soldiers from the sky, unexpectedly tearing a hole in the northeast, giving all troops hope of escape.

    Therefore, Minister He, who was based in Luoyang, personally called the headquarters of the Ninth Army, hoping that they would consider the overall situation, send troops to attack the Japanese army in Yangcheng, and assist the 14th Group Army, the Third Army and other units to break out.

    Li Guoyao did not refuse, and immediately ordered Xu Hu to command a division of troops to advance westward, aiming directly at Yangcheng.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
