"Hay, please rest assured, Your Excellency, Commander. Our 6th Division is one of the most powerful divisions in the Empire, and our 6th Division entered through Zhonghua Gate to conquer Jinling City. It is still possible to deal with the troops of Li Yunlong and others. Gu Shoufu said with a cold expression.

Seeing this, Naosaburo Okabe knew that Gu Shoufu was arrogant, and in his heart, Gu Shoufu actually looked down on a small new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that for Okabe Naosaburo, who can crisscross several provinces, move and maneuver to retreat to Hengshan in the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army, and will attack and eat the 20,000 troops commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka together with the troops of the Eighth Route Army who stayed in the new regiment base area of Hengshan.

This shows that Li Yunlong is definitely not to be underestimated.

It's just that Tani Shoufu patted his chest and assured that Naosaburo Okabe would not be able to dampen Tani's enthusiasm for fighting.

What's more, Gu Shoufu's 6th Division is indeed one of the two most capable troops in the Wa Kingdom, and the other 2nd Division is not around at this time.

Okabe Naosaburo pointed to the map on the table in front of the two of them and said, "Judging from the map, the Hengshan base area is still surrounded by us at this time. It's just that there are not many imperial troops in Hunyuan, Lingqiu County and other places in the surrounding areas. Once your troops advance into the Hengshan Mountains, the troops around these towns are likely to be attacked and occupied by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, for this reinforcement on the periphery, I have already dispatched the 36th Division, and the 37th Division has one division each to respond to the reinforcement on the periphery. ”。

"Understood, Your Excellency Commander, the Humble Rank will definitely capture the Hengshan Base of the New Regiment in a short period of time."

Gu Shoufu naturally knew what Okabe Naosaburo meant, and in the area around Hengshan, the new group was more familiar than himself. Once the war begins, Lingqiu County and other places will inevitably be attacked and harassed by the guerrillas sent by the opponent's men and horses, and the supply lines for transporting grain, grass and ammunition will be attacked.

Okabe Naosaburo knew that Tani Shofu would know what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Yo Xi, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Empire, for the four Imperial Princes who died in battle, and for the elite troops of the Empire who were annihilated by the new regiment. The head of the hard Gu Shoufu Division! ”。

"Your Excellency the Commander is gracious! I promise that I will be careful and ensure that this attack will completely capture the Hengshan base of the new regiment with a thunderous momentum. ”

Gu Shoufu stood up heavily and paused behind his feet, his tone was calm and murderous.

Naosaburo Okabe nodded and motioned for Toshio Tani to go out and prepare.

As for whether he could capture the Hengshan base area where the new regiment was entrenched under the heavy pressure of the Japanese 6th Division commanded by Gu Shofu this time, Okabe Naosaburo's right eye kept jumping, and he always felt that something was wrong.

It's just that Naosaburo Okabe shook his head, dispelled this uneasy thought, and turned to carefully look at the map on the desktop in front of him, frowning and thinking.

As the 6th Division of the Japanese Army moved north to Taiyuan City, all of a sudden, in Jin Province, the intelligence of the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese Army, the National Army and other forces was surging in the dark.

Since the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was one of the main culprits of the Jinling Massacre, it was full of crimes.

It was learned that the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was preparing to attack the base area of the new regiment and capture Li Yunlong alive. The main force of the Jin Sui army, which was defeated and retreated in the mountainous areas of southwest and northwest Jin, was also secretly shocked.

At this time, west of Shuocheng, somewhere in the temporary station of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, was shocked when he learned that the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was preparing to attack the Hengshan base of the new regiment.

"Tuanzao, according to the information transmitted by Chief Yan's office, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has been stationed in Taiyuan City. The initial information obtained was that the 6th Division had received a telegram from Emperor Hirohito, and ordered it to be airlifted north, preparing for the 6th Division to attack the Hengshan base area where the new regiment was entrenched. The accuracy of this information is about 90 percent! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, walked quickly in front of Chu Yunfei and saluted and reported.

Chu Yunfei took the telegram handed over by Fang Ligong and looked at it carefully, and read it in less than half a minute, "Li Yunlong, this person is really awesome!" Unexpectedly, even the Emperor had to personally order the 6th Division to be airlifted north, and this time Li Yunlong was probably a little troublesome. ”

Chu Yunfei, as an officer from a military academy, naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division of the Japanese State. It is undeniable that the 6th Division is very good at hard fighting, and it was stunned to defeat the 88th Division of the Nationalist Army stationed in the area of Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing.

This is enough to show that the 6th Division is not only ferocious, but also very strong in combat, which is undeniable.

"Tuanza, this is an opportunity!" Lieutenant Colonel Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, suddenly said loudly.

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his heart moved.

At the beginning of Lijia Town, Qian Bojun's battalion was wiped out by most of Li Yunlong's subordinates, so that the 358th Regiment lost the elite of a reinforced battalion. During this time, although it has recovered to more than 5,000 people, its 358th regiment is currently only able to reach more than 3,000 elites.

Previously, when Yoshio Shinozuka commanded 20,000 Japanese troops to storm Hengshan, Chu Yunfei saw the opportunity to attack Liujiagou, Hubao, and Shenchi from the station, and recovered a lot of lost ground.

It's just that the expansion of the army after that puts a lot of pressure on food, grass and ammunition, and there is an urgent need for territory to support the army.

At this time, the 6th Division attacked the new regimental base area of Hengshan, and it was inevitable that it would be impossible for Naosaburo Okabe to mobilize a large number of troops to take the initiative to attack the troops of the Jin Sui Army, so as not to be drawn into the subsequent battle situation.

Therefore, at this time, with multiple forces attacking north in the Pinglu area, it is bound to be able to recover many towns and expand the sphere of influence of the 358th Regiment.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong walked quickly to the sand table of the regiment headquarters to take a closer look.

"Chief of Staff, you ordered the newly formed 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion to be ready to assemble. Waiting for my orders! Once the 6th Division really sends troops to attack Li Yunlong's base in Hengshan, we will send troops to attack the Pinglu area. Chu Yunfei looked at the sand table for a while, and said with a sly smile.

Fang Ligong immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Tuanza." ”。

"By the way, report our regiment's combat plan to Commander Yan and request the allocation of wartime food, grass and ammunition support." Chu Yunfei stopped Fang Ligong, who was about to go out to give the order, and after thinking about it, he still instructed.

Fang Ligong said: "Yes, Tuanzao, I understand my humble position." ”。。

Similarly, after the news that the Japanese 6th Division was about to launch a large-scale offensive against the Hengshan base area was confirmed, more than 100,000 troops of the Nationalist Army stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to defend against the Japanese army also breathed a sigh of relief.

In particular, Wei Lihuang, the Nationalist Army who was responsible for commanding the garrison in the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain to defend against the Japanese army, although he believed that the 6th Division was airlifted north to fight a new regiment, Wei Lihuang still ordered the main force of the 100,000 Nationalist Army under his command to wait near Zhongtiao Mountain, so as not to cause trouble for the 6th Division to suddenly withdraw south to attack the Nationalist Army in Zhongtiao Mountain.
