War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 541: Some things cannot be said! (Thanks to 'Xiao Yu' for the reward!)

"report!"

"The devils are making a move!"

Guo Yang rushed into the Taiyuan headquarters at full speed. Now the headquarters had completely changed its appearance. There were four beds in the living room, divided into four directions. In the middle was a sand table of the Xinkou area. On the walls were hung maps of Pingxingguan, Yanmenguan, Xinkou, Tuanchengkou and other places. The boss and Wei Lihuang were discussing something in front of the sand table, while Yan Laoxizi and Fu Zuoyi were negotiating in front of the map.

"Commanders, the front line reports that the devil Terauchi Juichi has ordered the Fifth Division to advance to Dai County. The Fifth Division under Itagaki Seishirō will move from Dai County to Taiyuan. As the Chahar Corps has been transferred out by Tojo, all Tojo Corps that have entered our territory will be officially renamed the Chahar Corps and will be under the unified command of Itagaki Seishirō. They are heading straight for Xinkou!"

Xinkou is located 14 kilometers north of Xin County, with hills to the west and Lingshan Mountain to the east. The Hutuo River and Tongpu Railway pass through it. In history, in order to ensure Xinkou as the gateway to Taiyuan, Yan Laoxizi had to ask the government for help, which led to Wei Lihuang. Now it is not necessary. Wei Lihuang was persuaded by the sun to come, and he also brought the th Army from Shijiazhuang, Hebei to support. According to the order of the government, Wei Lihuang was the commander-in-chief of the front line in the Xinkou area of ​​the Second War Zone, responsible for commanding the Battle of Xinkou.

In addition, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the 18th Army Group also participated in the Battle of Xinkou. The Sichuan Army was kicked around like a ball on the way, until Taiyuan was in a hurry, and Yan Laoxizi took the army to Shanxi. However, the Sichuan Army was really competitive. When they arrived in Shanxi, they robbed the arsenal and were exiled to Xuzhou by Yan Laoxizi. In the end, they made a great name for themselves in the Battle of Xuzhou!

Now, according to the deployment they had studied, several troops were deployed in the front, back, left, center and right, and the most important combat power was arranged in Xinkou, in order to defeat the enemy in one blow.

The troops composed of the 14th Army, the 9th, the 15th, the 173rd and the 19th Army hid in the hilly mountains on the left side of Xinkou and stationed in the area from Heiyu to Yangfangkou, ready to rush down at any time; the 68th, 71st and the Independent 7th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army led by Yang Aiyuan were stationed at the must-pass place from Xinkou to Taiyuan to prevent the Japanese from discovering that they were surrounded and trying desperately to break out in the direction of Taiyuan; the 34th, 35th and 61st Army led by Fu Zuoyi's main defense area was Xinxian, Caijiagang, Nanhuaihua and Baishui; and the 115th Division, the 120th Division and the 386th Brigade of the th Group guarded the Lingshan Mountains and the mountainous areas on the right side of Xinkou, preventing the enemy from escaping along the mountain road while waiting for an opportunity to move at any time, and the area from Wutai Mountain to Ekou was also guarded by the th Army.

Yan Laoxizi, Wei Lihuang, Fu Zuoyi, the boss, Xu Chaoyang and others worked over the map for several days and nights and finally managed to build an airtight defense for Xinkou. It was as if everyone had staked their lifelong reputation on this battle and there had to be a result, and they all worked hard without holding back.

"broken!"

Several people put their troops in their positions. Xu Chaoyang just reacted and said, "I forgot to prepare the reserve troops!"

At that moment, Fu Zuoyi, Yan Laoxizi, and Wei Lihuang looked up at Xu Chaoyang at the same time, and their eyes changed.

"We have 100,000 men fighting two divisions, and we still need to prepare a reserve force?"

Xu Chaoyang then raised his head and said, "Every time the commander of our 115th Division takes action, no matter how many people he has, he always has to leave a backup. If he doesn't leave a reserve, I always feel uneasy."

As they were talking, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Bell~
Old Xizi Yan grabbed the phone and frowned, "Okay, I will live and die with Taiyuan!" Then he hung up the phone and looked at Xu Chaoyang again. Slowly, a smile appeared on his face, "Boy, has this mouth been blessed in Mount Wutai?"

This time, even Wei Lihuang was confused: "What do you mean?"

Old Lady Yan Xizi said, "The 22nd Army, which just left Sichuan, was sent by the government to reinforce Xinkou."

22nd Army?
The Sichuan troops who smashed, looted and robbed?

As soon as they arrived in Shanxi, they robbed Yan Laoxizi’s two armories...the Pao brothers are here!

"Where are they?" Xu Chaoyang was looking forward to this group of people. If they didn't come, how could he expand his team in Yan Laoxizi's territory?

If they don't rob Yan Laoxizi's arsenal, where can they get weapons and ammunition if they expand their team? No, Xu Chaoyang definitely doesn't mean that, absolutely not. He has thought it through. Before the Shanxi war is over, he will definitely not think of attacking the arsenal, otherwise he will have to spend money to produce weapons and ammunition, and mines are not easy to find.

How great is this? You can just ask for it in the name of defending Shanxi for Old Xizi Yan. Anyway, it's up to Old Xizi Yan to decide whether to give it to you or not. The 18th Group Army can just stop fighting if it runs out of bullets. What else can it do? But can you bear it?
This time it works, it completely works!
The 22nd Army Group arrived with convenient bags ready to pack.

Xu Chaoyang not only had a general reserve force, but also had his eyes completely on this force.

Sichuan Army...

While he was thinking about it, Guo Yang rushed in and reported all the movements of the Japanese. At the same time, Xu Chaoyang quickly clasped his fists towards the people in front of him and said, "Everyone, the war is about to start. I have to go to the front line to command. I'll leave first!" He himself mentioned the reserve team, but turned his head and ignored it!
After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he turned around and walked out the door. When he reached the door, Qu Yong was about to sway his arms to catch up with Xu Chaoyang, but he turned around and stood in front of Qu Yong, and Qu Yong's head almost hit Xu Chaoyang's chest.

"Brother?" Qu Yong looked up at Xu Chaoyang.

Xu Chaoyang then said, "Brother, I'll give you a mission." "Did you see the man in the room? You and the guard battalion stay here to guard him. Remember, if anything happens, even if the guard battalion is wiped out, he must be alive. Do you understand?"

Qu Yong nodded woodenly, and Xu Chaoyang then jumped on his horse outside the headquarters: "Shen Guaizi, bring a platoon with me to Xinkou!"

"drive!"

As he spoke, he spurred his horse and led a team of 217 soldiers out of Taiyuan City.

At the entrance of the headquarters, Qu Yong turned his head and saw Deputy Director Li standing next to him. He asked with a crooked mouth: "Uncle...who is that person in the room?"

Deputy Director Li looked back. He still remembered the man's majestic demeanor when he entered Jinling. He responded, "This is a big shot!"

……

Xinkou.

"Director Yang, the brigade commander is back!"

"The brigade commander...is back!!!"

As the messenger was running wildly, a fast horse quickly overtook him, and Xu Chaoyang dismounted at the foot of the mountain next to Xinkou, threw the horse's reins away, and stepped up the hillside.

On the hillside, Yang Jingyu was looking at the several group leaders in front of him, not knowing what to do. When he saw the backbone had arrived, he immediately went up to greet him: "Chaoyang... you're back, I have a lot to tell you..."

"Don't say anything yet." This was the first time Xu Chaoyang interrupted Yang Jingyu and asked directly, "Tell me first, is the phone line connected?"

"It's connected. What's the matter with you?"

"Where?"

"The command post is in a shed built on the mountain."

Xu Chaoyang took a step and walked towards the mountain. Behind him, Yang Jingyu, Wang Tianhao, Wang Jinshan, Song Shilun and Han Xianchu were chasing him!

Xu Chaoyang went into the shed and pressed the crank phone. He didn't know how much force he used. The shaking table was shaking before he picked up the phone: "Hello? This is the front position of the 129th Brigade of the 217th Division in Xinkou..."

Snapped!
As soon as he said this, Xu Chaoyang hung up the phone and paced back and forth in the shed for several circles, which made Yang Jingyu confused. The people outside did not dare to come in. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Has the person sent by the higher-ups finished repairing our radio station?"

Yang Jingyu nodded and said, "It's been done a long time ago. Except for the radio station left by the brigade, the rest of the radio stations have been distributed to the regiment."

"Send a message back home..."

How do you say this?

Xu Chaoyang was so anxious!

He wanted to go directly to the 22nd Army to reveal his identity and tell this group of people: "You are not welcome and will all be buried in the battlefield of Xuzhou. You might as well follow me..." But as long as he was not a tiger, he could not say this.

"Just say that I, Xu Chaoyang, invite the division commander and political commissar to come to Xinkou to meet him!"

　Thanks to 'Xiao Yu'er' for the reward. Thank you very much. I am very grateful.
