Ueno said: "Qian Bojun's troops? Division commander, isn't this the department of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? ”。

"Not bad!"

Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "At the beginning, my Itagaki Division entered Shanxi to fight, and I fought against the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army. Now that he has re-entered Jin, the first battalion of Qian Bojun under the command of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is the closest to Li Yunlong's department. And this army, Ueno-kun also knows, is currently in the midst of the rebellion of our imperial army! ”。

"It's just Your Excellency the division commander, at present, our department has no right to contact Qian Bojun directly! What's more, according to the information known to the lowly position, the Intelligence Department of the First Army Command is still negotiating with Qian Bojun, and has not yet surrendered to the Imperial Army! ”

Itagaki Seishiro's face sank, but he had forgotten it.

However, at the beginning, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army was one of the few units in the Jin Sui Army that dared to attack the Itagaki Division, so Itagaki Seishiro was still very impressed.

Thinking of this, Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Send a report to Your Excellency Commander Shinozuka on our pursuit of Li Yunlong's department, and ask Your Excellency Commander to directly increase the price to fight against Qian Bojun's department first, and let it go north to block Li Yunlong's army in the north of Pinglu and the northern foot of Hongtao Mountain!" ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, you understand your humble duties!"

Ueno Masashi continued to say, "Your Excellency the division commander, so what should we do now? ”。

Itagaki Seishiro didn't reply immediately, but just looked at the map placed on the table, and then thought about it and said: "In this way, order the more than 1,000 imperial troops pursuing in the direction of Liangcheng to attack the area of Killing Tiger Pass in the southwest direction, and recapture the area of Killing Tiger Mouth and Right Jade City." The rest went to Jining, and more than 2,000 imperial troops in the Longsheng belt retreated south to the Tongpu Railway. And our more than 4,000 main forces in Fengzhen immediately went south and withdrew to Datong along the Tongpu Railway, maneuvering on the railway, and looking at the situation! ”。

Ueno looked at the map and knew what Seishiro Itagaki was planning.

"Ha Yi, I understand my humble duties! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Ueno was stunned, and immediately waved his hand to signal several staff officers of the Japanese army on the side to send reports separately, gathering troops and preparing to go south.

After that, Seishiro Itagaki sent a report to Yoshio Shinozuka to report on the pursuit of Li Yunlong's troops. Five or six minutes later, he gathered more than 4,000 Japanese troops in his hands and headed south in Fengzhen.

****************

Taiyuan City, under the ice and snow, is already a pleasing scenery with silver light.

It's just that the beautiful scenery of Taiyuan City in winter made Yoshio Shinozuka, who soon received an urgent call from Seishiro Itagaki look gloomy, and the anger on his face had already melted all the snowflakes that fell on his face.

In the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from Seishiro Itagaki reporting the battle situation in Toyojin and other places, and was speechless and furious.

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of rubbish! The imperial troops in Fengzhen, Gushan and other places were all wiped out, and they were successively defeated by Li Yunlong's command of less than a regiment and lost all the land occupied by the imperial army! It's just a bunch of waste, can't the imperial army troops under my command withstand a blow from the Eighth Route Army troops commanded by Li Yunlong? Yoshio Shinozuka was furious, and the Japanese staff officers in the headquarters who scolded him were all frightened, and they didn't dare to come out one by one.

At this time, the chief of staff of the First Army, Taro Miyano, said loudly: "Your Excellency, commander, what should I do now?" Do you agree to Seishiro Itagaki's request? At present, Li Yunlong commanded less than 1,000 troops in the northwest of Shanxi from the mouth of the tiger to seize the right jade city, and now his troops are going south, I am afraid that they are going to capture Pinglu and Weiyuan Fort! Once Li Yunlong leads his troops to the northern foot of Hongtao Mountain and lets them enter the mountainous area, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to encircle and suppress this person! ”。

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, he fell silent in a fit of rage. Although he has not yet received the fifth telegram from the Emperor, Yoshio Shinozuka understands that no matter what, Li Yunlong is already an obstacle to his future, and he must move away at all costs!

Clenching his fists and staring at every point on the map of Jin Province, Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and ordered Miyano Taro: "Let the Intelligence Department directly agree to Qian Bojun's conditions, and temporarily attract this person's troops to join our imperial army." Then he sent a report asking Qian Bojun's department to directly contact Itagaki Seishiro's department, and obey Itagaki Seishiro's order to go north to Hongtao Mountain to block Li Yunlong's army in the Pinglu area! ”。

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander! Obedience! Taro Miyano breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yoshio Shinozuka had been in a rage, but fortunately, he got Yoshio Shinozuka's order, and he responded with a sigh of relief.

Miyano Taro then hurriedly conveyed Shinozuka Yoshio's order, and for a while, Jin Province was finally in contact with the Jin Sui Army because Li Yunlong's command post re-entered Shanxi and Northwest Jin from the mouth of the tiger to stir up the situation.

At this time, Li Yunlong's command post headquarters of less than 1,000 people, after completely annihilating the headquarters of the Chinese and Japanese puppet army in Youyucheng, the troops marched rapidly and continued to march south, and soon arrived at Weiyuan Fort.

At this time, there was only one Japanese squad in Weiyuan Fort, plus some Japanese troops who temporarily sheltered in Weiyuan Fort, there were only more than 80 people.

"Regiment commander, according to the investigation, there are indeed only about eighty people in the Japanese stronghold in Weiyuan Fort. We have secretly inquired with the fellows near Weiyuan Fort, most of those fellows have built turrets in the Weiyuan Fort stronghold, and the little devils don't have many garrisons in the Weiyuan Fort stronghold! After Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team, personally took a few scouts out of Weiyuan Fort to investigate the specific situation, and when he came back, he wanted Li Yunlong to report in a low voice.

Weiyuan Fort is the only way to go south to Pinglu, so it is necessary to defeat the Japanese garrison in Weiyuan Fort!

Li Yunlong sneered when he heard this: "Made, this little devil is not enough to eat for labor and capital!" He Yongjie! ”。

"Captain!" He Yongjie squatted beside Li Yunlong and immediately responded.

Li Yunlong pointed to the Japanese stronghold of Weiyuan Fort in the distance and said: "How about you take the four battalions to besiege Weiyuan Fort, fight a tough battle, and take Weiyuan Fort within ten minutes?" ”。

The fourth battalion is the latest reorganized and joined the troops, and the mountain combat is good, but the attack is a bit weaker than Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, Shen Qun's second battalion, and Ma Wenhai's third battalion.

Therefore, there is a stronghold like Weiyuan Fort, which is not much garrisoned by Japanese troops, and it can be used by the fourth battalion headquarters to practice, and the time and difficulty are very suitable.

I saw He Yongjie smile and said: "Commander, promise to complete the task and take Weiyuan Fort in five minutes!" ”。

"Okay, let's go!" Li Yunlong nodded and said.

He Yongjie didn't talk nonsense, and immediately commanded the headquarters of the fourth battalion to attack Weiyuan Fort.

At the moment when the battle of Weiyuanbao began, in a small city located dozens of miles northwest of Shuocheng, Qian Bojun, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, secretly met with the Japanese envoy Hirata Ichiro and decided to immediately rebel against the Jin Sui Army and surrender the little devil!
