Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Luoyang.

When that person received the battle report from the front line.

Get up quickly.

He kept muttering to himself.

“Okay~Okay~

"Okay~"

Then, he looked at the people around him and continued.

"Organize the Fifth Army and march north immediately.

Tell Liu Maoen that if the 37th and 41st Divisions are allowed to escape, he and Zeng Wanzhong will never come back."

When the people around heard this, they immediately stood up and walked towards the communication room.

Yuanqu front.

Inside the 14th Army Headquarters.

Liu Maoen read the telegram sent from Luoyang and handed it to the people around him.

"Look at them all.

Yesterday, the Eighth Route Army and the Fifth Army surrounded and annihilated the 20th and 27th Divisions in Sijiao.

Now the old man has high expectations.”

The people at the command center took the telegram and circulated it among themselves.

"Commander-in-Chief~

The Eighth Route Army and the Fifth Army are very fast.

I thought they would need two more days." After reading the telegram, Liu Kan, commander of the 93rd Army, said to Liu Maoen.

Pei Changhui, commander of the 9th Army, heard this and shook his head.

“Brother Linshu.

You are wrong.

I heard that even the artillery regiment has been dispatched, including 122mm heavy artillery, and even the air defense force has organized three regiments.

Hearing this, the generals around him suddenly became noisy.

"Where did Zeng Jiwen get so much equipment?"

At this time, the commander of the 65th Division, Xing Liangchen, was a little confused.

"I heard it was support from the north."

Wu Shiming, commander of the 98th Army, said on the side.

"Commander Wu, the government doesn't care?"

A general asked curiously.

When everyone heard this, they became curious.

After all, according to the old man, he didn't want to allocate even a single bullet to the Eighth Route Army.

Many of them have heard about it since the first half of this year.

The Nationalist government no longer approved military pay and weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army.

This is almost a year earlier than the beginning of the original time and space.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Liu Maoen, who was standing in the middle, spoke.

"You think the old man doesn't want the north to cut off support for the Eighth Route Army?

They almost threatened to sever diplomatic ties.”

After saying that, he looked at everyone and continued.

"It's quite strange that the North's attitude has changed a lot this time.

He actually said that it would be possible if the Kuomintang really broke off diplomatic relations.

The old man endured it for some reason."

Wu Shiming sneered when he heard this.

"What else is there to think about? The North is providing us with assistance.

Now basically all of them have to pass through the territory of his Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, this time there was friction between the Kwantung Army and the north.

The Eighth Route Army won victory after victory in North China.

You say they don't support the Eighth Route Army, so how can they support us?"

Liu Maoen's face became a little serious when he heard this.

I looked around.

"Brother Mianzhi, be careful with your words~"

After hearing Liu Maoen's words, the people around him immediately reacted.

Start to keep silent about it.

Afterwards, the group began to discuss how to deal with these two Japanese divisions.

After contacting the Fifth Army.

The Fifth Army will begin its march north this evening.

At the same time, their 14th Army also began to encircle the two Japanese divisions in the north.

Jiyuan front.

At this time, the fighting in Lilin and Wulongkou outside Jiyuan City was very fierce.

The main forces defending Lilin now are the 104th Division of the 47th Army of the Sichuan Army and the 771st and 772nd Regiments of the 386th Brigade.

As for the Wulongkou area.

Ye Chenghuan led three regiments of the independent column reorganized from the Taiyue Military Region and one artillery regiment to rely on the mountain defense in the Wulongkou area.

Baixiang Town.

At this time, the Chief of Staff of the First Army and Commander of the 14th Division, Kenji Doihara, and the Commander of the 36th Division, Maidenō.

He looked at the current war on the map with a serious expression.

Last night, they received a farewell telegram from the 20th and 27th Divisions to the North China Front Army.

After that, there was no more news from Sijiao.

Both of them knew in their hearts that these two divisions were finished.

From last night till now, Peking has sent three telegrams in succession.
