I am a wolf warrior

"But Taiyuan is indeed facing a serious danger now." Masao Inamori said, "According to the reconnaissance, there are more than 5 Eighth Route Army gathered inside and outside Taiyuan City at this time! The number of troops is more than ten times that of the Imperial Army."

"What? There are 5 people in the Eighth Route Army!" Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hua Gu changed their faces.

"Hayi." Chief Intelligence Officer Jiro Sakuma also said, "The Eighth Route Army has at least [-] troops."

Several section leaders, including Hanaya Masa, Mizuhara Takuya, and Sakuma Jiro, all looked at Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Yoshio Yanmatsu began to struggle in his heart. On the one hand, he was really unwilling to give up the sweep of the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, but on the other hand, Taiyuan was indeed facing danger. What should we do?

Time passed slowly every minute and every second, and Yoshio Iwamatsu was silent for a long time.

After a while, Yoshio Yanmatsu said: "Order, the No. 30, No. 30 and No. 60 Ninth Divisions should not be disturbed by any external factors, and encircle the Taihang bandit area with an iron wall according to the original plan."

After a pause, he said again: "Let's organize the overseas Chinese in Taiyuan again."

"We are always ready to supplement the Noda and Matsumoto Battalions that are short of troops."

Hearing this, Huagu was looking at each other with several section chiefs. Is this going to die with the existing force?

Among the crowd, only Mizuhara Takuya's expression moved slightly. Is this trying to force the Palace Command?But will General Okamura compromise?

……

Beiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't dare to hide the fact that Taiyuan's outer city was lost, and reported it to Neiji Okamura immediately.

Neiji Okamura did not lose his temper, let alone panic. He just stared at the map for a while, and then asked the North China Front Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Yusue Seizan: "With Mo Jun, will there be any danger in Taiyuan?"

After pondering for a while, Youmo Jingsan said: "There will be no danger within three days."

After a pause, Yusue Seizo continued, "If it takes more than three days, it's hard to say."

"Three days?" Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice, "How did you come up with this three-day limit?"

"Your Excellency, the three-day deadline is based on rigorous war games." Arimoe Sandao said, "This morning, as soon as I learned that the outer city wall of Taiyuan was breached by the Eighth Route Army, I took the combat lesson The staff officer conducted a war game and found that the current strength of the Taiyuan can last for about two days in street fighting."

"In two days, all the blocks in the outer city of Taiyuan will be occupied."

"And the Eighth Route Army will also be able to directly attack the gates of the inner city of Taiyuan."

"Although the inner city walls of Taiyuan are stronger than the outer city,"

"But if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and Li Yunlong and Wang Ye are known for their cunning. I think the inner city of Taiyuan can hold out for at most one day under the onslaught of the Eighth Route Army."

"Of course, this is the most extreme presumption."

After a pause, Youmo Jingsan said again: "Two days plus one day, three days."

Hearing this, Neiji Okamura's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "I'm sure I'll fall after three days?"

"There is a high probability that they will fall." Youmo Jingsan nodded and said again, "Unless the main force of the First Army returns to Taiyuan, or the main force of the Mongolian Army goes south to rescue."

Neiji Okamura shook his head and said, "The main force of the Mongolian Army must not move lightly."

After a pause, he continued: "Once the main force of the Mongolian army goes south, Suiyuan and Mongolia will immediately fall. Fu Zuoyi's troops are not vegetarians."

Yusue Seizo said in disbelief: "I am afraid that the main force of the First Army will not return to aid. Ever since Yoshio Iwamatsu became the commander of the Imperial Army's First Army stationed in Shanxi, it can be said that he has made no achievements on the battlefield. It ended in failure, so now he is eager to make meritorious deeds, and he will never let the main force of the first army return to Taiyuan."

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, if we want to avoid the fall of Taiyuan, there is only one way, and that is to order the [-]th Division for emergency reinforcements from the Front Army Command."

While speaking, a communications staff officer hurried in with a telegram.

After reading the telegram, Arisue Seizo smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Yoshio Iwamatsu really has this plan. He has ordered the main force of the First Army to continue sweeping the Taihang bandit area."

"Damn it." Neiji Okamura's expression suddenly collapsed.

It has to be said that Yoshio Iwamatsu's choice made Ningji Okamura the first army.

Can Ningji Okamura watch Taiyuan fall?Of course not, once Taiyuan falls, if Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, does anything good or bad, Okamura Neiji will be charged with not being able to save him.

While speaking, Tanabe Shengwu, chief of staff of the North China Front Army, walked in with a dark face.

"Your Excellency, General." Shengwu Tanabe paused and said again, "I heard that the outer city of Taiyuan has fallen?"

You Mo Jing said: "Yes, the outer city of Taiyuan was breached last night, and the Eighth Route Army is now fighting fiercely with the First Army in various blocks of the outer city of Taiyuan."

Tanabe Moritake said, "What do Iwamatsu-kun plan to do?"

Youmo Jingsaid: "Yoshio Yanmatsu just gave an order to the main force of the First Army to continue sweeping the Eighth Route Army's Taihang bandit area according to the original plan."

"Ah..." Shengwu Tanabe said angrily, "Is he forcing us to send troops to rescue?"

"Yes." Yusue Seizo nodded and said, "Yoshio Iwamatsu is forcing the front army headquarters to send troops to rescue him. He is just betting that the general will not let Taiyuan fall. In this way, not only can he keep Taiyuan intact, And you can also get the military exploits of exterminating the bandits in the Taihang Mountains of the Eighth Route Army, so it can be said that you can make a profit without losing money."

Tanabe Shengwu said: "Then we can't spoil him."

"In any case, the sweep of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong bandit area is about to begin."

"At this time, the troops directly under the North China Front Army must not be easily transferred out."

"Otherwise, the entire mopping up plan for the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong bandit area will be postponed or even abolished."

Speaking of this meal, Tanabe Moritake said with a dark face again: "I don't believe it. When Taiyuan is really likely to fall, Yoshio Iwamatsu will still insist on not letting the main force of the first army go back to rescue Taiyuan."

While talking, another communications staff officer came in.

"Your Excellency, General." The Communications Officer paused and reported, "The special high-level class secret message."

"Give it to me." Arisue Seizo took the telegram, and after reading it, his face beamed with joy, and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that there is no need for the Front Army Command to send troops to rescue."

"Oh?" Moritake Tanabe asked, "What's going on?"

You Mo Jing said: "The Jinsui Army revealed a top-secret news to our super high school through a secret channel. Yan Xishan has ordered the Jinsui Army's sole brigade and the Central Army's 94th Brigade to attack the bandit areas in Northwest Shanxi of the Eighth Route Army. With a sudden attack, if the Eighth Route Army doesn’t want to be homeless, they may have to withdraw their troops obediently.”

"Great." Mori Tanabe was overjoyed upon hearing that.

Neiji Okamura also heaved a sigh of relief.

……

In Heyuan County, the city gate checkpoint.

Sun Ming, Sun Zhi, and more than 100 members of the Tiger Squadron disguised themselves as peddlers, businessmen, and even beggars, and they had quietly mixed into the crowd, preparing to enter the city.

Sun Ming dressed up as a businessman, wearing a wide-brimmed top hat and a black silk gown.

Although there were Eighth Route Army militiamen standing guard at the gate of the city, their anti-espionage experience was obviously insufficient, and they were not enough to identify the members of the Tiger Squadron.

It's just militia after all.

Not even the regular army.

"What for?" asked the militiaman.

"Back to the boss, I'm a cloth seller." Sun Ming replied.

"What boss, I'm not the boss." The militiaman frowned, "Just call me comrade."

"Oh, all right, Comrade Boss." Sun Ming took out two silver dollars and stuffed them into the hands of the militiaman, "This is a kind gesture."

"Don't do this kind of thing, our Eighth Route Army doesn't like it." The militia resolutely refused, and said righteously, "I warn you that it is best to operate legally. If you dare to do this again, you will be severely punished."

"Yes, yes." Sun Ming hurriedly said, "It must be operated legally."

"Go in quickly." The militiaman snorted and said again, "Next."

Sun Ming put on a wide-brimmed top hat and walked in, followed by Sun Zhi who was dressed as a woodcutter.

For Sun Zhi, a woodcutter, the Eighth Route Army militiaman's attitude was much more friendly than before. They just checked casually and signaled to Sun Zhi that he could enter the city. Sun Zhi hurried into the city with a load of firewood.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Tiger Squadron had already entered the city.

Then they gathered towards the county government from all directions without a trace.

The gates of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government of Heyuan County were open, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians.

There are only two militiamen standing guard at the gate with old slide rifles on their backs.

However, there were bursts of passwords coming from the backyard, as if a team was training.

Sun Ming cast a questioning glance at Sun Zhi, and Sun Zhi immediately leaned over and whispered, "It's the Heyuan County Brigade of the Eighth Route Army who is doing queue training."

Hearing this, Sun Ming didn't hesitate any more.

"Do it!" Sun Ming gave the order, and Sun Zhi and other Tigers took out their weapons one after another.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" The two Eighth Route Army militiamen standing guard said in shock.

However, before the two militiamen of the Eighth Route Army raised their guns, several shell guns had already resisted them.

"Don't move!" Sun Ming shouted in a low voice, "We are members of the Jinsui Army, as long as you don't resist, we'll be fine!"

The next moment, Sun Zhi had already rushed in with the Tigers, and the militiamen who were training in the backyard hadn't figured out what was going on before they were disarmed by the Tigers.

Cadres of the democratic government were also taken prisoner.

……

The Central Army's 94th Brigade moved even faster.

Just as Sun Ming led the Tiger Squadron, the Jiaolong Squadron led by Liang Jun had already captured Fu'an County and handed over the weapons of the Fu'an County Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Liang Gang led the brigade of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army to enter Fu'an County on a large scale.

"Liang Jun." Liang Gang asked in a deep voice, "There was no bloodshed during the operation, right?"

"No." Liang Jun said sarcastically, "The Eighth Route Army's reaction was too slow. Before they figured out what was going on, our guns were already on their heads."

"The whole operation process went very smoothly."

"Before a single shot was fired, the Fu'an County Brigade was disarmed by us."

Speaking of this meal, Liang Jun said again: "Traveler, I think the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than this."

Liang Gang said coldly: "This is just the militia of the Eighth Route Army, but your Jiaolong Squadron is the elite of our brigade. This is not a real contest in the first place. When will you defeat the Wolf Warrior Squadron before you say this?" Not too late."

"Wolf Warrior Squadron?" Liang Jun said, "Take a look, brigade, one day we will defeat them on the battlefield."

Liang Gang nodded and said: "Your Jiaolong Squadron will have a chance to prove themselves, and the time may not be too far away."

"What do you mean?" Liang Jun was refreshed when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice, "Brigade, is our 94th Brigade really going to start a full-scale war with the Independence Regiment?"

"Not now, but it should be soon." Liang Gang nodded, and said, "Although Little Japan's current momentum seems to be pretty good, but in my opinion, it is already fading away, at most five years, at least three years. In [-], Little Japan will definitely be kicked out of China, and then our national army will start a full-scale war with the Eighth Route Army to compete in the Central Plains."

"Really?" Liang Jun said longingly, "The movement must be very loud."

"Of course." Liang Gang said, "At least it is a battle of millions of people."

"Millions of people?" Liang Jun said, "The brigade seat will definitely change to the teacher seat by then."

Liang Gang smiled noncommittally. If nothing else, he should be the commander of the army at that time.

Chapter 450 Returning to Northwest Shanxi

Time soon came to noon.

After more than ten hours of fierce fighting, the Eighth Route Army has controlled three-quarters of the blocks in the outer city of Taiyuan.

However, as the control area shrinks, the resistance of the Japanese army becomes more and more tenacious. This is also normal, because as the control area shrinks, the Japanese army's troops and firepower become more concentrated, and the defense becomes stronger. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army needs to pay a high price for every meter it advances.

Street fighting is like this, unless you can have an absolute advantage in firepower and wipe out the entire city at once, otherwise you can only honestly fill it with human lives, and then push forward inch by inch, there is absolutely no shortcut. The Eighth Route Army can only push forward inch by inch and take their lives.

The number of casualties of the Eighth Route Army also increased sharply.

In just a dozen hours, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang has already arrived in Taiyuan with a stretcher team, so that the wounded can be quickly transferred to Crouching Tiger Town.

"Those who go out go in the middle of the aisle!" Zhao Gang stood at the gate of Gongji which has been dredged and directed the traffic in person.

Just as he was commanding, a group of ordinary people in the city came towards Gongji Gate.

Most of these people are dressed plainly, with baskets on their arms, and the baskets are filled with sweet potatoes, corn sticks, and boiled eggs. They dare to come to work in the army.

Crowds of people almost blocked the gates of the city.

Zhao Gang hurried forward to persuade him: "Folks, please let go, please let the city gate out."

"This comrade." An old lady with gray hair said, "We are all here to deliver food to the Eighth Route Army, so that the soldiers can beat the devils and kill more devils when they are full."

"On behalf of the soldiers, thank you all."

Zhao Gang hurriedly led his father and fellow villagers aside.

After receiving several civilians from the rewarding army in a row, another group of soldiers came out from the arch gate head-on.
