"Commander." Inoue Yasushino said first, "Shibuya Detachment, Kitayu Detachment and Saotome Detachment were all blocked by the Chinese army halfway."

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu was stunned when he heard this.

But Hua Guzheng asked in a panic: "All three return detachments were blocked?"

"Yes, they were all blocked by the Chinese army." Inoue Yasushi said, "and the Chinese army fought very tenaciously, and the Saotome Detachment, which returned from Lu'an, was forced to retreat."

"Nani? This is impossible!" Yoshio Iwamatsu said.

"Does more than 2,000 people in the Saotome Detachment eat shit? Om?"

"Your Excellency Commander, it is said that the Eighth Route Army in the Lu'an direction used a large number of artillery."

Inoue Yasushi said: "The artillery firepower of the Saotome Detachment is even worse than that of the Eighth Route Army."

Iwamatsu Yoshio was completely stunned. How could he be like this? Doesn’t this mean that reinforcements from Lu'an are no longer able to come to Taiyuan?

Reinforcements from Anhua and Yangquan direction are not safe either.

At that moment, Yoshio Iwamatsu asked again: "Anhua, how far is the reinforcements in Yangquan?"

Inoue Yasushi pointed to the map and said, "Yangquan's reinforcements are still 30 kilometers away. Anhua's reinforcements are closest to Taiyuan, but there are still 20 kilometers away. What's worse is..."

"What?" Hanaya Masato, "What's worse?"

"What's worse is that it's dark." Sakamoto Takaichi took over the conversation and said with a slight slightest. "After it's dark, the Chinese army will be more active than during the day, and the reinforcements of Anhua and Yangquan will become more difficult, and it is not impossible to be defeated."

"Shut up, don't say it!" Hanaya was holding Sakamoto Takaichi and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu, "Commander, the current situation can be said to be very serious, so you see..."

The meaning of Hanaya Masato is to ask for help from Okamura Yasuji immediately.

Otherwise, if Taiyuan is half a day later, it might be lost.

Once Taiyuan is lost, what is lost is not face, but fate!

Not only is he Huagu in his life, but Iwamatsu Yoshio also wants to be defeated, and the entire Shanxi area will also be lost. This will have a subversive impact on the overall situation of the Sino-Japanese War.

...

The altar of the country.

Fang Ligong walked in with a serious expression and reported: "The casualties have been counted."

Chu Yunfei turned his back to Fang Ligong and said silently. Fang Ligong waited for a while but didn't see Chu Yunfei talking, and then said: "Nine hundred people were killed in the three regiments, and more than a hundred others were seriously injured."

"There are more than two thousand officers and soldiers who are slightly injured."

"Also, the casualties of the 94th Brigade were quite serious."

"A fierce battle lasted in the afternoon, and more than 500 people were killed in the 94-four people alone."

"What?" Chu Yunfei turned around suddenly, his expression changed.

"Brother Li Gong, do you mean that more than 500 people were killed in the 94th Brigade?"

"Yes, more than 500 officers and soldiers were killed." Fang Ligong said, "Even the guard commander of Brigade Commander Liang died for his country. It is said that he had attacked the city walls and almost took down the city gate."

"Brother Tiefeng, I really have a sincere heart to the Party and the country."

Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "I, Chu Yunfei, are not as good as him in this regard."

"Host, our Unique Brigade has done its best." Fang Ligong said.

"I know this, our Unique Brigade has indeed done its best." Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "But he did not show his will to die to be invincible and sacrifice his life!"

He paused and said, "But tonight, we must sacrifice our lives!"

"Ah?" Fang Ligong was stunned. He originally planned to persuade Chu Yunfei to take a rest tonight.

As a result, Chu Yunfei actually proposed that he not only had to attack the city at night, but also had to sacrifice his life. This really had to fight the Japanese. Is it worth fighting for Lao Chang?

...

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Okamura Yanji was in a good mood.

Because the progress of the Zhongtiaoshan battlefield was even smoother than expected, a big victory seemed to be within reach. If there was anything else to worry about, it was Taiyuan.

Okamura Yanji was very worried that something would happen in Taiyuan.

Because now it is not only Taiyuan, but the whole of Shanxi is very empty.

Once the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army seize the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome.

However, Okamura Yasui was confident that the Jinsui Army in Yanxishan could not cause trouble. The only thing I was worried about was the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army in North China was really troublesome.

Okamura Yasuji's eyes turned to Atsushizo, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army: "Atsushijun, please call Taiyuan and ask, how is the situation?"

Youmo Jingsan shook his head and said, "The phone number in Taiyuan could not be reached before nightfall."

"Nani? Can't get through?" Okamura Yanji frowned, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger. Could something really happen to Taiyuan?

Tanabe Moribu said: "Your Highness General, don't worry. The outer city of Taiyuan has long been lost, and it is reasonable that the telephone line was cut off by the Chinese army. If it is not cut off, it will be strange."

Okamura Yasuji said: "Let's send a telegram to ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications consultant hurried in.

"Hissergeant General." The correspondent said, "The First Army's emergency telegram!"

Aoshi Jingsan stepped forward to receive the telegram, and just glanced at it and his face changed drastically.

"Your Excellency General, Taiyuan is in danger of losing!" Youmo Jingsan said with a dark face.

"Give it to me!" Okamura Niji grabbed the telegram, and his face turned down after reading it.

"Baga, Iwamatsu Yoshio, didn't he boast that Taiyuan would never be in danger?"

"It's only one day, no, I haven't even arrived for a day, and Taiyuan is in danger of losing. Why doesn't he die? Why doesn't this idiot die?"

At this time, Moritake Tanabe had already finished reading the telegram.

Tanabe Masamu said: "Your Excellency, you can talk about it later after you hold Yan Songjun responsible, but Taiyuan must not be lost. Once Taiyuan is lost, its impact on the entire Shanxi war situation will be decisive! Even the impact on the entire North China and even the entire China war situation is immeasurable."

"I know this."

Okamura Yasuji said sternly: "You don't need to remind me."

After walking back and forth for a few steps behind his hands, Okamura Yasuji paused suddenly, turned around and said, "Order the 26th Division stationed in Datong and the 110th Division stationed in Zhengding to draw an infantry gang to provide quick reinforcements. In addition, the 36th Division on the Zhongtiaoshan Front will be relocated as a whole to ensure the safety of Taiyuan and Shanxi."

There are three ways of the ultimate spirit: "Will there be any impact on the overall transfer of the 36th Division?"

"There will definitely be an impact." Okamura Yanji waved his hand, "but there is no big problem. The overall situation of the Nakajoyama battlefield has been decided, and the Chinese army can no longer make trouble."

...

Chongqing, Huangshan official residence.

Chang Kaishen's face was already dark.

As time goes by, the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain becomes more and more serious.

Now, in addition to the two group army commands, the army-level and division-level commands can no longer be contacted. Of course, this will not be radio silence, but only the command organs are destroyed.

Whether it is actively destroying or passively destroying radio stations,

All of them can only prove one result, the deterioration of the battle situation in Zhongtiaoshan is beyond imagination.

Now it seems that not to mention one month, even persisting for half a month is a luxury.

What made Chang Kaishen even more desperate was that Yan Xishan and Tang Enbo still remained in control, and sat down to see that more than 200,000 Central Army were eaten by the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Only Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang's two brigades were still fighting bloody battles.

Trying to reverse the unfavorable situation of Zhongtiaoshan with a suicide attack with a fierce attack on Taiyuan.

Just as he was thinking, Tang Zong, the leader of the third group of servants, walked in with a thick telegram.

Chang Kaishen's eyes fell on the telegram and frowned and asked, "So many telegrams?"

"Yes." Tang Zong responded and said in an inexplicable tone, "Chu Yunfei Brigade and Liang Gang Brigade just sent it."

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen's eyes suddenly froze when he heard this. He had already realized what was on the telegram.

Sure enough, Tang Zong took a breath and said in a deep voice: "This is the list of deaths from the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army and the Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army before 10 o'clock tonight."

“As of 10:00 tonight,”

"The two brigades have killed more than 3,000 people in total."

Hearing this number, a breath of breath sounded in the war room.

In less than one day, more than 3,000 people were killed? The two brigades combined only more than 11,000 people, right?

Including the wounded, have the two brigades reduced by nearly half? In less than a day, nearly half of the staff were reduced and nearly one-third of the casualties were killed? Isn’t this too tragic?

This intensity has caught up with the Battle of Songhu.

Chang Kaishen's eyes also turned red all of a sudden.
