"Get on the roof, get on the roof! There are still many people sitting on the roof!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the soldiers of the New Group who had not yet got on the train woke up as if they were dreaming, climbed up the window of the armored train.

This is the benefit of burning coal trains.

At this time, Kong Jie also chased after him: "Old Li, Lao Li! Can you give up the job of attacking the flat stronghold to my new second regiment?"

Li Yunlong stuck his head out the window: "Yes, Lao Kong, if you are jealous, hurry up and take the troops to chase us!"

While speaking, the train was slowly starting.

"Clang slang slang!"——"

"Woo, woo woo!——"

The train accelerates slowly, getting faster and faster.

Looking at Li Yunlong's face that was worthy of being beaten more and more, Kong Jie really wanted to catch up and punch him hard.

The flat stronghold is 50 kilometers away from Niangziguan. Of course, it is fast to take the train, and it will arrive in just an hour.

But if you walk, even if you are lightly marching, it will take at least 4 hours.

By then, it was dawn. If Kong Jie really led his troops to rush over, he would be afraid that he would not even be as hot as he could eat shit.

At this moment, I can only give up the idea of ​​going to a flat base to get a share of the pie and stay to clean the battlefield honestly...

The picture is pulled to Taiyuan.

The 1st Japanese Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was no longer as light as before, and instead he looked gloomy. He didn't speak, and other Japanese officers such as Chief of Staff Miyao Toshiki, Yamamoto Ichiki and other Japanese officers did not dare to speak rashly. The atmosphere in the entire war room was a bit terrifying.

At this moment, the communications department head Nobunaga Ono walked in with a very serious expression. He walked towards Yoshio Shinozuka, and then gave Yoshio Shinozuka a sudden bow and reported: "Report to the commander, Yangquan has lost contact! I guess he has been captured by the Eighth Route Army of China!"

Yoshio Shinozuka seemed to have expected this result, and there was no change in expression on his face, but asked, "Where are the other strongholds?"

"Along the Zhengtai Railway, except for Yangquan County, Niangzi Pass, and armored trains, the rest of the strongholds can be contacted normally.

Moreover, according to reports from the Imperial Army at various strongholds, although the Eighth Route Army had a strong offensive and invested a lot of troops, they did not have any heavy firepower weapons in their hands, so there was no danger at present."

Yoshio Shinozuka knew that this was only temporary, because the armored train had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and soon the Eighth Route Army could use the armored train to attack the next target.

But he did not ask about this matter, but changed the subject and said, "Where are a few other places?"

Nobunaga Ono: "Although the Imperial Army strongholds along the Tongpu Railway, Pinghan Railway, and the Jingzhang Railway were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the opponent's offensive was also very fierce.

But the Eighth Route Army was in a dilemma, that is, the heavy firepower weapon without any attacks.

Therefore, the Imperial Army strongholds on these routes are the same as those on the Zhengtai Railway. At present, there is no danger."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "Well, call back to all the strongholds and order them to strengthen their defenses. It is impossible to take it lightly because the Eighth Route Army does not have weapons to attack!"

"Hi Yi!"

Ono Nobunaga paused heavily and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Wait a moment!"

Nobunaga Ono asked for instructions: "Commander, what instructions do you have?"

"You will also send a telegram to the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army stationed in Jinzhong to tell Hattori Naoshi that Yangquan has fallen and that Jinzhong is the gateway to Taiyuan. The geographical location is extremely important, and it is related to the face of our 1st Army. It must not be misunderstood!"

"Hi Yi!"

Ono Nobunaga paused his head again, waited for a while, and then turned around and left after confirming that Yoshio Shinozuka had no other instructions.

After a while, Miyano Shun looked at Yoshio Shinozuka with bloodshot eyes and persuaded: "Commander, you haven't closed your eyes all day and night, so this won't work.

According to the intentions shown by the Eighth Route Army of China, they will definitely continue to attack the various strongholds of the Imperial Army in the future.

It’s not a solution for you to stay up late like this. I’ll just watch here. You can go back and take a break first.

If there is any unsolvable problem, I will call you again."

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand: "Miyono, I can still hold on, but do you need a rest?"

Miyano Jun: "You can hold on to your post..."

...

Jinzhong County.

Command of the 9th Japanese Infantry Brigade.

Along the Zhengtai Railway, the section from Shouyang to Jinzhong is guarded by the 9th Brigade. The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army attacked not from Niangzi Pass to Shouyang, but from Niangzi Pass to Jinzhong.

Therefore, several large strongholds under the 9th Brigade were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

However, since the section from Shouyang to Jinzhong is not the attack center of the Eighth Route Army, there is no danger to several large strongholds under the 9th Brigade.

But Naoshi Hattori was also having a hard time, and he felt very frustrated.

They have always been their Japanese army chasing the Eighth Route Army. When is it the Eighth Route Army's turn to attack and ride on their heads to shit?

If the commander Yoshio Shinozuka had not been in charge of several second-level strongholds, he would not have gone out. Hattori Naoshi would have led his troops out of Jinzhong County.

At this time, Hattori Naoshi was studying the sand table map and preparing for a counterattack at any time.

At this time, the communications chief suddenly hurried in from outside: "The commander of the brigade, the commander, just sent a telegram from Taiyuan, saying that Yangquan County has fallen, so we must defend Jin..."

Before the communications department head finished his words, he was interrupted by Naoshi Hattori and said, "Nani? What are you saying? You said that Yangquan County has been captured by the Eighth Route Army of China? How is this possible?

You should know that the Imperial Army has at least 3,000 garrison troops in Yangquan County, and now it has only been more than two hours since the Chinese Eighth Route Army launched an attack."

In addition to being shocked, Hattori Naomoto was more worried.

Although the garrison troops in Jinzhong County also have an infantry corps, which have more troops than Yangquan County, the soldiers who independently form the 1st Brigade are all veterans who have been through the battlefield.

After two major blood changes, the original group of veterans had almost been replaced.

Although the newly added soldiers have also undergone professional training, many of them are new soldiers who have not been on the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will are definitely not as good as veterans who have been on the battlefield and killed people.

Therefore, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the 9th Brigade has actually been far from being independent of the 1st Brigade since the Battle of Huluxia.

Since the Eighth Route Army can easily capture Yangquan County, it means that they can easily capture Jinzhong County...
