At the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Army of the Japan-China Expeditionary Force in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka finally had some smile on his face after receiving a telegram from Major Watanabe, the captain of the Watanabe Brigade stationed in Pingyuan County.
: The Watanabe Brigade, with the cooperation of the Army Aviation Brigade, successfully recaptured Zhangzhuang this morning. The unknown enemy troops ran away after looting Zhangzhuang. A small number of enemy troops drove our tanks and caused heavy damage to our troops. They have been completely wiped out by our troops. Now Our troops are gathering in Zhangzhuang and on standby, and we sincerely request the commander-in-chief to send troops for reinforcements in time. In addition, our department is in urgent need of ammunition, medicine, and food supplies.
After listening to Inoueki reading the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "As expected, it was Tubal Road who did it. He left after the beating."
Inoue Shuzheng replied: "It is basically confirmed that the enemy who attacked Zhangzhuang was Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army. This is exactly his fighting style, sneak attacks, night battles, and looting."
Yoshio Shinozuka hummed: "Call back."
Inoue tree hurriedly opened the record book.
"The Watanabe Brigade is waiting for reinforcements at Zhangzhuang. The Abe Brigade's Ishibashi Regiment and Sato Regiment have set out from Pingyin for reinforcements and can reach Zhangzhuang within one day. The required supplies will be airdropped to your unit by the Army Aviation Brigade."
Inoue Shu took note, looked up and saw that Yoshio Shinozuka had no other instructions, and saluted before going out to send a telegram.
At this moment, a junior sergeant rushed to the door of Yoshio Shinozuka's office and stood at attention and shouted: "Report."
Shinozuka Yoshio frowned slightly, and when Inoue saw that the junior sergeant was one of his telegraph operators, he hurriedly walked over.
The junior sergeant hurriedly handed the telegram to Inoue. Inoue glanced at it hastily, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. His expression changed and he quickly walked to Shinozuka Yoshio's desk and looked at the frowning Shinozuka Yoshio. The man said: "There is an urgent call from Pingyuan County. Twelve minutes ago, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army suddenly launched a fierce attack on Pingyuan County. According to the defenders' estimates, the 358th Regiment dispatched at least three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion."
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed and he asked: "How many defenders are there in Pingyuan County now?"
"A small team plus a security platoon is less than a hundred people."
Yoshio Shinozuka reached for the phone, and Inoue hurriedly held down the phone and helped him shake the handle.
"Fetch me the Army Aviation Brigade."
The call was quickly connected, and Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order directly without giving the other party a chance to speak: "Army Aviation Brigade, I am Yoshio Shinozuka. I order you to immediately dispatch all fighter planes to reinforce Pingyuan County."
The Army Aviation Brigade Airport on the outskirts of Taiyuan immediately sounded a piercing siren, and all combat preparation personnel ran.
What's going on? From last night to now, emergency dispatch orders have come one after another, and the plane's fuel and bullets haven't even had time to fill up.
Yoshio Shinozuka put down the phone and stood up and walked quickly to the map on the wall.
Inoue followed closely behind Yoshio Shinozuka and whispered: "The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army dared to take the initiative to send troops to attack Pingyuan County. It feels like they are fighting in coordination with the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
Yoshio Shinozuka hummed and said expressionlessly: "What a move to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Order, the Miura Regiment and the 1st Regiment of the Taiyuan Security Brigade immediately set out to reinforce Pingyuan County, and must completely annihilate the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army that invaded Pingyuan County. .”
Inoue Shu knew that Yoshio Shinozuka would never mobilize the garrison in Taiyuan unless it was absolutely necessary. But now that even the garrison in Taiyuan has been mobilized, it is conceivable that the situation he is facing now cannot be underestimated.
Just because of a small Zhangzhuang, all the main Japanese forces in northwest Shanxi were mobilized.
Inoue looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and asked, "Do you want to modify the telegram sent to the Watanabe Brigade?"
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand: "Zhang Zhuang must not be lost. The order remains the same as before. Order the Army Aviation Brigade to arrange a transport plane to airdrop supplies to Zhang Zhuang."
Inoue Shuzai lowered his head and responded loudly, turned around and trotted away.
Inoue Shu was busy making phone calls and telegrams to mobilize the troops. Here, Li Yunlong finally rushed to the brigade headquarters non-stop. The war horse was so tired that its legs were shaking, foaming at the mouth, and its buttocks were swollen from Li Yunlong's horse whip.
Damn it, I've been riding you for several years and if you treat me like this, I'll fall out with you in the next life and I'll ride you to death.
With a pop, the war horse knelt on the ground, and his body lay on the ground and began to twitch.
Li Yunlong didn't want to see the war horses. He ran directly into the brigade headquarters. The sound of the door opening startled Brigadier Chen and everyone in the room.
Damn it, we are in a meeting, who is so bold as to barge in like this?
Seeing clearly that the person rushing in was Li Yunlong, the people in the room were a little relieved.
The entire 386th Brigade, that is, this boy Li Yunlong, dared to break into the brigade headquarters like this, but today it was a bit too much.
The political commissar was about to scold Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong rushed to the table, grabbed Brigadier Chen's teapot, drank the tea in one breath, wiped his mouth, pressed his hands on the table, and watched Brigadier Chen panting. Said: "Brigadier, there is going to be a big battle."
Brigadier Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Speak slowly."
Can't slow down.
Li Yunlong quickly walked to the combat map hanging on the wall, picked up the baton, pointed at Zhang Zhuang and said, "His grandma, that bastard Xie Baoqing poked this hornet's nest, and he knocked down Zhang Zhuang."
"What?" Brigadier Chen, Political Commissar Wang, Deputy Brigadier Chen, Deputy Brigadier Xu, Chief of Staff Li, Deputy Political Commissar Liu and others in front of the conference table all stood up. They knew very well that this hornet's nest contained how old are you.
This is not a hornet's nest, this is a super big explosive bag.
Once it explodes, the entire northwestern Shanxi and northern China will be shaken.
People gathered around Li Yunlong. Deputy Brigadier Xu, who was most at odds with Li Yunlong, grabbed Li Yunlong's shoulders and asked, "Is this true?"
Deputy Brigadier Xu was a martial arts practitioner from the Shaolin Temple. No matter how hard he put his hands, Li Yunlong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth in pain. However, he still held back and nodded vigorously at Deputy Brigadier Xu: "I just came from I rushed over from Dagu Town and saw with my own eyes that the corpses of Japanese soldiers were being burned in Dagu Town. A large pit was filled with at least two to three thousand people, all of whom were killed by Xie Baoqing."
In front of Brigadier Chen and Deputy Brigadier Xu, Li Yunlong also became more honest and did not dare to call himself Lao Tzu.
In terms of seniority, none of these people is his predecessor. During the Long March, he was the commander of the Fourth Red Army, Deputy Brigadier Xu was the commander of the Fourth Red Army, the cavalry commander of the Fourth Red Army, and Brigadier Chen was the chief of staff of the Fourth Red Army.
Deputy Brigadier Xu laughed loudly: "Damn Xie Baoqing likes me. I will definitely treat him to a drink if I have the chance."
Deputy Brigadier Xu let go of Li Yunlong's shoulders and suddenly remembered something. He glared at Li Yunlong with an evil look and asked, "I heard that your boy destroyed Xie Baoqing's Black Cloud Village some time ago?"
