Cai Zhong nodded and agreed, sat down and started drafting the report.

Liu Yimin looked at the two old guys, smiled helplessly, and said, "Just let Xiao Tang and the children come, the old man stays in Xi'an. They are very satisfied with their work, so don't bother. Comrade Lin Yueqin is also

When she is transferred here, she is about to give birth. We are relieved to follow the main force."

Luo Ronghuan thought about it, and his wife was alone in Xi'an, which made people worry so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that the political commissar stopped talking, Liu Yimin was about to speak Feng Dafei's phone call and ordered him to let David and his friends set off at 5 a.m. tomorrow to carry out the task of bombing the Japanese airport in Tianjin, select familiar English, and randomly act as students who are good at cooperating with David and others.

Navigator, shooter and bomb thrower. Be sure to tell David that Tianjin is far away and you will come back after completing the mission. You must not change the range privately to avoid being intercepted by enemy fighters.

Then, Liu Yimin sent a telephone to ask Zhang Hongtao's Niangziguan to see if the enemy attacked in the afternoon and whether Zhao Shan's Eighth Brigade had arrived.

He also established power generation with Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu, asking them to report on the position of the troops and the progress.

Just when Liu Yimin was generating electricity, two divisions of Itagaki Seishiro had already crossed the territory of Huozhou and attacked Linfen, and joined the enemy troops of the Jinsui Army.

Yan Xishan's Second War Zone Command planned to be stationed in Linfen. When he was about to arrive in Linfen, he received a telegram from Liu Yimin and knew that Liu Yimin had recovered Taiyuan. Before the festive spirit had passed, he asked Liu Yimin to send troops to pursue Itagaki's troops.

I was worried. The current Jinsui army ran scattered, so how could it be that there was no force to pursue Itagaki? Therefore, Yan Xishan was not even in the mood to reply to Liu Yimin. In the afternoon, he received another telegram from the headquarters of the 18th Group Army.

, judged that Itagaki might go south to attack Linfen and Yuncheng, and asked him to make plans early. Soon, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai, the 18th Army, sent Liu Yimin's telegram, which was more thorough in analysis and more accurate in the information. Yan Xishan was panicked now,

Yang Aiyuan, who was responsible for the military in southern Shanxi, was quickly called to the Eighth Route Army to organize small troops to fight at all levels. The main force of the Jinsui Army avoided the enemy's edge and left the Linfen empty city to the enemy. All counties and townships mobilized to evacuate the masses immediately, and cleared the fields.

, let the Japanese devils starve to death in Shanxi. At the same time, Yan Xishan asked Wei Lihuang to lead his troops to retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain to deploy defenses to prevent the Japanese army from occupying Yuncheng in Linfen and continuing to attack south and west. The principle is to release the Japanese army

Attack eastward, the Japanese army cannot be allowed to go westward to southward.

Yan Xishan's countermeasures were consistent with those of Chiang Kai-shek's command. In order to ensure the safety of Zhongtiao Mountain and Tongguan front line, after Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from the 18th Army, the Ministry of National Defense quickly formulated a combat plan and urgently dispatched it to rest and recuperate many times.

The 17th Army of Yang Hucheng who requested Ying rushed to Zhongtiao Mountain for reinforcements and was commanded by the Second War Zone. He ordered the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Government Guard Division, Security Division and the 18th Army left-behind troops to concentrate on Tongguan and the Yellow River line to strictly prevent the Japanese army from jumping over the wall and entering

Attack the rear. He also ordered the divisions of the 18th Army to cooperate with friendly forces to fight, block and harass the enemy along the way, and constantly launch attacks on the enemy, and buy time for the deployment of the Zhongtiaoshan defense line.

Of course, Yan Xishan asked the Eighth Route Army to block the sluggish enemy and cover the transfer of the Jinsui Army, which was very humble and polite. He fully explained the fact that the troops continued to be reorganized after the war of the Jinsui Army. Please ask the Eighth Route Army to see that they are both anti-Japanese friendly forces.

In terms of fact, it is necessary to attack. Otherwise, it is impossible for the current situation of the Jinsui Army to avoid the Japanese attack.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army never quarrels on the anti-Japanese issue, and what Yan Xishan said was indeed the truth. So the Eighth Route Army headquarters ordered the independent division brigades in southern Shanxi to quickly go to the battlefield to guerrillas, block, delay the enemy, and cover the transfer of friendly forces.

In fact, Itagaki was just a risky man this time and was too arrogant. As soon as his vanguard had exchanged fire with the Chinese army, he found that they were all small troops, and they retreated after blocking and did not fight, and implemented layers of blocking tactics.

Although the tactics cannot withstand the large Japanese troops, they are very effective in winning time.

Just as the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Sui Army actively blocked the Itagaki Group, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, the commander of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade on the Shota Line, finally waited for Itagaki's telegram.

Itagaki said in the telegram that he had led the 20th Division, and the 109th Division went south to capture Linfen and Yuncheng. He wanted to independently form the 15th Brigade without having to stick to the Zhengtai Line, so he quickly retreated to Hebei and met with the First Army troops.

After reading the telegram, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara cursed Baga. This old bastard Itagaki actually disobeyed the order of General Tsouichi Teraunuchi. Instead of leading the main force to attack Niangzi Pass, he went south alone to establish military achievements.

After cursing, Seiichiro Shinohara transferred the content of Itagaki's telegram to General Tsouchi, while deploying a retreat.

After this deployment and retreat, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara found that his troops were surrounded by the main Chinese troops. In the afternoon, he was busy rushing from the Pacification to attack the lady from the closure of the lady, but he never thought about what if the lady could not get it.

Now, not only were there many bodies left on the west side of the Niangziguan, but they were surrounded by the main force of China who came from Yangquan.

Seiichiro Shinohara felt that the feng shui had changed these days. His great Japanese Imperial Army came from Yangquan and calmed down with his feet, but the Chinese army took a train, a car, and a horse to catch up with Yangquan. What's even more strange

Yes, the army aviation troops of the Imperial Japanese Army went to sleep. Not only did they not come to assist in the war, but they also watched the Chinese personnel carriers swaying on the railway and on the highway, which was simply a bhaga!

It was also strange. According to the experience of the Taiyuan Battle, the First Army was attacking before Niangzi Pass, and his brigade captured the retreat of the defenders. At this time, the Chinese troops retreated immediately to avoid being surrounded and wiped out.

The troops guarding the gates in front of him were not like this. Not only did they defend and never retreat, but they also had endless defensive patterns. They could blow mines and fire cold guns, and they could also throw explosive packs with cannons. One pack of explosives would blow down a piece of imperial soldiers. There were also many mortars.

As soon as the Imperial Army's grenade launcher was fired, it would immediately attract small mortar attacks. Moreover, the casualties of the Imperial Army officers, gunners and machine gunners were extremely high, as if they liked to attack these people specifically.

Thinking about the outcome of the 21st Brigade and the independent first Brigade guarding Taiyuan, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara felt that he might have been transferred into a hateful trap, as if he had a rope around his neck, and he was getting more and more.

Tighten, I gradually couldn't breathe.

Just when Seiichiro Shinohara felt very uncomfortable, Liu Yimin received a telegram from two combat directions.

Zeng Zhongsheng reported that the 1, 3 and 5th Brigades had arrived near Niangzi Pass and surrounded the Japanese army. It was planned to start shelling at 11 pm, compress the encirclement and end the battle before dawn.

Liu Jian reported that the Second Independent Brigade and the Dike are not intertwined with your troops, rushing to our army’s pre-set positions near Chashang Village. In another hour, the encirclement and annihilation battle will begin.

Zhang Hongtao reported that this afternoon, the Japanese army in front of Niangziguan added another wing, and the artillery fire was very fierce. The Japanese army launched a continuous strong attack, and the largest scale was three brigades of wave attacks. They once broke through the front line and the second line positions, used reserve teams, and concentrated

The firepower recovered its position. At 5 pm, the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, which was pacified from the west of Niangziguan, rushed to the battlefield and launched an attack. The troops were in two battles. There were great casualties, 620 people were killed and 1,800 people were injured. Fortunately, the troops were killed and 1,800 people were injured.

The enemy planes did not bomb, otherwise the casualties would be greater. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Shan led the Eighth Brigade to arrive, and the situation had improved. The Eighth Brigade had been given the frontal defense first, and he led the Sixth Brigade to prepare to invest in the 15th Brigade of Independence

The regiment's encirclement and annihilation battle.

After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin's face was as if he was sinking. After thinking about it, he ordered Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu to establish control of fire and use artillery fire to clamber the enemy to the ground. Especially Zeng Zhongsheng, Liu Yimin ordered him to eliminate the independent brigade and concentrate artillery fire.
