The 9th Japanese Division was advancing at a rapid speed. The division commander Matsumura Shikazuka was very shocked after receiving the news from Yano Toshizo.

The opponent's planes and artillery were so powerful.

It seems that Yoshio Yuzuka is right.

The opponent's troops are indeed not easy to mess with.

The combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division is very strong. It is almost the strongest in the entire North China Expeditionary Army.

But just a few hours have passed, and the Fifth Division has actually lost more than half of it?

This is incredible.

Matsumura Shikazuki had an ominous premonition in his heart that this battle might be very difficult to fight.

Yoshio Yuzuka gave him the order to fully support the Fifth Division, the other two divisions and the two brigades, and the troops of the two brigades are rushing over. If it goes well, then Yanggao will be the main battlefield of this battle.

As long as the opponent's troops are annihilated, the entire battle situation will be greatly improved.

The base camp is now actively preparing to open up the mainland transportation route.

Their North China dispatched troops needed to send troops south and occupy the railway line.

The scope of the battle will be very large.

The troops invested will also be very large.

The entire North China dispatched troops need almost the entire army to be dispatched.

If this mysterious force is not destroyed, then North China will be very dangerous.

If someone stabs him in the back, the entire camp's plan will be affected.

The commander of the 9th Division, Matsumura Shikazuki, was thinking when a Japanese man hurried over: "Report to the commander of the division, the back of our troops was attacked by unknown troops."

Unidentified troops?

Matsumura Shikazuki was stunned for a moment: "No need to pay attention, this should be an attack from the other side's small troops, and the purpose should be to stop us from reinforcements to Yanggao.

Leave a large brigade of troops to annihilate this unit, and continue to advance quickly. Be sure to arrive at Yanggao within five hours!"

Now Matsumura's attention is all on Yangtaka.

As long as he arrives at Yanggao, with his 9th Division's strength, he can at least rescue the Fifth Division.

And Yoshio Yuzuka in Taiyuan was walking around anxiously.

His 7th Division was blocked at Yanmen Pass for several hours and had not moved forward.

There is also the 23rd Division, which was blocked in the Divine Pond for most of the day, and it was impossible to advance forward at all.

This shocked Yoshio Yuzuka.

Why are the troops in Shenchi and Yanmen Pass so capable of fighting?

This news surprised Yoshio Yuzuka.

If the 7th Division and the 23rd Division cannot arrive at Yanggao in time, can the opponent's troops be destroyed?

Now in the Yanggao area, there is only his Fifth Division, and if the Ninth Division goes well, it will be possible to arrive in Yanggao in half a day.

There is also the Suzuki Brigade, who have already come out of Datong and are rushing to Yanggao at full speed.

But the time required is at least one day.

The brigade has now arrived at the outskirts of Feng Town, but it also takes time to get to Yanggao.

In this way, within this day, Yoshio Yuzuka's troops in Yanggao were only the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division.

There are only two divisions...

Yoshino Yuzuka's heart skipped a beat.

With only two divisions, let alone annihilated the opponent's troops, they will even be annihilated by the opponent.

Yoshino Yuzuka frowned high, always feeling something was wrong.

This time, the Eighth Route Army seemed to have completely captured his life gate!

How did the Eighth Route Army know so clearly about the plan to mobilize troops by themselves?

Has the plan been leaked?

Yoshio Yuzuka looked at the staff officers in the war room with a gloomy expression.

Everyone looks like a spy.

No, it shouldn't.

Only a few people know about my military deployment plan.

Moreover, my orders were conveyed very quickly, and the Eighth Route Army troops could not know immediately.

Even if the secret is really leaked, the news will not be spread so quickly.

Takeshi Sakurada, chief of staff of the Japanese First Army, said worriedly: "Commander, our troops must immediately reinforce the Yangyuan area. Otherwise, the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division will suffer huge losses."

Yoshio Yuzuka nodded: "Sakurada, do you also think that the other party's troops can annihilate our two divisions at once?"

Takeshi Sakurada shook his head: "It is unlikely to annihilate our two divisions, but I am worried that the two divisions will suffer major losses."

Takeshi Sakurada was of course worried that the other side's troops had planes, tanks, and American howitzers!

How do you fight this kind of equipment?

Why doesn’t Yoshio Yuzuka send planes to Yanggao?

It’s because there are more than 200 planes from the other party there!

That's why Youzuo sent the plane to Shenchi and Yanmen Pass.

And tanks cannot be compared.

The combined tanks of the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division are only thirty.

The other party's tanks also have more than 200!

Not only Japanese tanks, but also British tanks!

There is no way to compare.

If four or five divisions surrounded this army, they still have hope of annihilation.

Two divisions plus two brigades...

The number of troops is too small.

The opponent's troops are initially estimated to be 50,000.

The troops are similar to those of their two divisions.

At this moment, a Japanese man hurriedly ran over with a telegram.

Takeshi Sakurada took it and his face changed immediately.

When Youzuka saw Sakurada Takeshita's face, he knew that some bad news must have been coming.

"Sakurada, tell me. It's time. No matter how bad the news is, I can stand it!"

Yoshio Yuzuka took a deep breath and quietly grabbed the table with both hands.

Takeshi Sakurada said with a sneer and said slowly: "Hungma Hideichi said that his brigade had been attacked on a large scale in Toyoshi Town.

The troops suffered heavy losses.

Request for reinforcements.”

Nani?????

Yoshio Yuzuka opened his eyes wide incredibly, like a pair of cows.

He shivered for a few times, and forced himself to not scold him.

Then he took the telegram and took a look again.

How is this possible!?

How come there are Eighth Route Army troops in Fengzhen?

This is incredible.

How many Eighth Route Army troops are there in Shanxi?

Yoshio Yuzuka knows the combat effectiveness of the brigade, which is a very capable part of the team!

Why do you say that you are surrounded by it?

The entire brigade of the Honami has almost 10,000 troops.

There are ten tanks.

There are also many artillery.

It is the first strong brigade in Suiyuan.
