"Report, report."

In the headquarters of the Taiyuan North China Dispatch Army, the rapid sound was transmitted from the outside to the inside like a sharp arrow. Kiyohide Shimada, who had just sat down to take a breath, bounced up from the chair as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his whole person was short of breath, feeling an indescribable discomfort.

"What's wrong again?" His face was bitter, and his whole body trembled inexplicably.

"Report, report." The voice came from far and near, and soon a panicked devil officer ran in, holding a telegram in his hand, and said breathlessly: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao"

"What's wrong with Gu Jiao, you said!" Kiyohide Shimada can't wait to slap it over, what are you still panting for breath at this time.

"Gujiao has been surrounded, and the vanguard of the People's Liberation Army, the cavalry division known as the Devil's Cavalry, has already drained the water of Gujiao's siege and will attack it soon!" The officer delivering the telegram finally finished the second half of the sentence.

"What?" Kiyohide Shimada jumped three feet high, took the telegram and looked at it nervously. He didn't notice that his hands were trembling, and his whole face turned pale.

"How can it be so fast? They just killed 100,000 people of me and came to fight Taiyuan? Are they human beings who don't need to rest? Aren't you tired of killing so many people, it's time to rest! Shimada Kiyohide cried with a sad face, there was still some imperial army demeanor there, it was simply a mourning dog that was chased and beaten.

At this time, a number of high-ranking officers of the North China Dispatch Army rushed to hear the news. Gujiao is too far away from the gateway, if it is captured, it is too far to be taken just around the corner. And their reinforcements from all over the country have not yet arrived, and if they fight with the PLA in this situation, they will definitely lose.

So everyone is very concerned about whether the ancient friendship can be kept. If you can't hold it, what will you do next!

At this time, there were already many devils in Taiyuan City who were thinking about surrendering, and even the most foolish and loyal devils were thinking about whether they could retreat strategically, avoid the edge of the People's Liberation Army, and counterattack again when the time was ripe in the future.

But the final decision must be made by Shimada Kiyohide, who has a strict hierarchy in the Japanese army, and the commander's order is heaven. The future fate of the North China Dispatch Army must be decided by Shimada Kiyohide, and no one can replace it.

At this time, being stared at by his officers, Shimada Kiyohide's head was dazed for a while. If Gujiao is really lost, Taiyuan will not be able to meet the attack of the People's Liberation Army in its current unprepared state.

"Send troops, send troops immediately! We must let the ancient friends hold it, at least three days, it must be three days! Shimada Kiyohide suddenly reacted, his last bargaining chip was in Taiyuan, as long as he could resist the attack of the People's Liberation Army, with Taiyuan's excellent city fortifications, he was not afraid of the People's Liberation Army.

But the premise is that the PLA cannot reach his doorstep until his army is fully assembled. Therefore, the ancient friendship must not be lost, and it must be kept.

"But Your Excellency, Commander, we don't have any troops to mobilize now!" The chief of staff said with a bitter face: "The defenders in Taiyuan City are limited, if all of them are transferred, we won't be able to hold it!" ”

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency Commander, it's important for us to hold Taiyuan!"

"Although the ancient friendship is important, it is not as important as Taiyuan. If the People's Liberation Army attacks Taiyuan by surprise, we will not have the troops to stop it at that time, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

A group of officers interjected one after another, talking about the head of the head and the reasoning. But Shimada Kiyohide couldn't wait to give them a big slap and slap these bastards to death.

He was like a mirror in his heart, and the reason why these subordinates didn't go was not as high-sounding as they said. Obviously, he was afraid to die one by one, and he didn't want to reinforce Gujiao, so as not to become a ghost under the guns of the People's Liberation Army, but he was so righteous and awe-inspiring that Shimada Kiyohide couldn't refute it, and he was speechless when he was angry.

"Then, then you have to send someone, do you just sit here and wait for death?" Shimada is really handsome and has nothing to say, at such a time, he can't force his men to die with a gun.

The chief of staff thought for a while, and said stubbornly: "Otherwise, send the Imperial Cooperative Army." Anyway, it doesn't do much to keep them in the city, let them do this kind of death. Let the Chinese fight the Chinese, just give us time to delay. ”

The devil officers around him were like treasures, and they all smiled when they heard the words of the chief of staff.

"Yes, yes, let the Imperial Allied Army go, didn't they swear allegiance to the Great Japanese Empire, this is the time for them to be allegiant."

"The commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Commander Fu, came to me two days ago and said that he wanted to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Imperial Cooperative Army. This is a good time for him to make meritorious contributions, if he can block the People's Liberation Army for three days, he can be the commander-in-chief! ”

"The Imperial Association Army has 100,000 people, even if the People's Liberation Army kills slowly, it will take two days. Just let them go, just to block the guns for us! ”

A group of devil officers gossiped, saying that it was good for the imperial army to go, so they set up a table for a tea party.

Shimada Qingxiu was trembling all over, and said in his heart that you have finally spoken your heart, and you are still saying your heart so blatantly in front of yourself. Is this what the Imperial Japanese Army should say? Because he was afraid of death, he let the Imperial Army go to the Imperial Army, which simply disgraced the face of the Imperial Japanese Army.

But all his subordinates are this virtue, and Shimada Kiyohide knows that it is difficult to be angry with the public, and if he forces his subordinates, it is not impossible to kill him as a commander in a collective mutiny. If you want to live, you can do anything.

He swallowed this mouthful of breath, it seems that he doesn't want to use the Imperial Association Army now. Shimada Kiyohide still doesn't know what the Imperial Allied Army is, they are all traitors who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Those unreliable things may all flee or surrender as soon as the guns of the PLA go off, anyway, they are grass on the wall, and they can do anything shameless.

Taking a hard breath, Shimada Kiyohide said in a deep voice: "How many Imperial Allies are available in Taiyuan City?" ”

As soon as they heard his words, the devil officers around him immediately had a strange look on their faces, and they all gathered around and said, "There are 100,000 people, and they are all outside the city now. The commander of the leading troops was surrendered by the national army in the past, called Long Lingchuan! ”

"Long Lingchuan? The name is very good, that's him, I hope he can be like his name, blocking the People's Liberation Army in Gujiao! Shimada Kiyohide was already impatient to talk to these men and shouted loudly: "Immediately order them to attack on all fronts and rush to Gujiao to reinforce the defenders." At the same time, we telegraphed to the Gujiao garrison that we had sent 100,000 reinforcements, so that they must hold on. ”

"Hay!" All the devil officers nodded in unison, and a strange smile appeared on everyone's face.

They all instantly understood that the last sentence of Shimada Kiyohide could be regarded as completely pushing the Gujiao team to a dead end.

When the defenders of Gujiao heard that there were 100,000 troops coming to support, they would definitely defend until the last moment. But when they saw that the reinforcements were the Imperial Army. It is estimated that when the time comes, the ghost will not let Shimada Kiyohide go.

Outside Taiyuan City, in the garrison of the Imperial Allied Army, and in the camp of the General Headquarters, at this moment, because of a phone call, it was completely fried.

Long Lingchuan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Cooperative Army, put down the phone in a daze, his mouth was open enough to stuff a whole fist, and his eyes were about to bulge.

"Big brother, what do you mean by Japanese devils? Is this a clear way to send us to death? ”

"Big brother, we can't go, the little devils are 100,000 people who have died in the hands of the PLA, I heard that the PLA killed them as easily as killing chickens and sheep, and it was useless to kill them all in two days. Can our troops compare with the troops of the little devils? It is estimated that it is not enough for the PLA to fill in the gaps! ”

"Yes, big brother, our weapons and equipment are all eliminated by the little devils of the dog-day, let's go to support the ancient friends, don't you push us to the grave? The little devil himself is afraid of death, so he uses us as substitutes for the dead ghosts, which is too unrighteous! ”

A group of puppet army officers were furious, and some even slapped the table and got up, with a posture of going to fight the devil.

Long Lingchuan, the commander-in-chief of the puppet army, was still a little dazed, and it took a long time for his mouth to close. The noise around him had just been automatically blocked by him, because his head had been in a hollow state since he heard the phone call from the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army personally.

Although his name is domineering, his courage is terrible. At the beginning, it was because I was afraid that the Japanese would die, so I led the troops to surrender to the devils. Now the Japanese actually told him to fight the PLA, and it is a miracle that he was not scared on the spot at the moment - urine came out!

He turned his head tremblingly, looked at a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and said in a trembling voice: "Then should we go or not?" ”

"Go to a ball, I'm going to go to you, I'm not going to die anyway!"

"Yes, it's a big deal to run away from him, it's not like he hasn't run before. It's better to find a mountain to be the king of the soil than to be killed by the People's Liberation Army! ”

One by one, the generals of the puppet army expressed their positions, but none of them left on the spot.

At this time, a middle-aged man who had been silent spoke up: "I think it's better for everyone to go, if we don't go, we will be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese immediately." ”

The people around all looked at this person, and Long Lingchuan hurriedly asked as if he had found a savior: "Old Duan, you are our Zhiduoxing, and you are also the chief of staff, you give an idea." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Duan sighed and said, "Over the years, we have helped the Japanese do a lot of bad things and killed a lot of our compatriots. If we don't help the Japanese, we're not human. The common people hate us to death, the People's Liberation Army will certainly not spare us, and the Japanese will not tolerate us. So, we have to go! ”

The officers around were silent, they had indeed helped the devil do a lot of bad things over the years, sometimes more hateful than the devil. Obviously, they don't need to kill people, but in order to please the devils, they can sometimes slaughter a village.

The people hated these puppet armies so much that they wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood. If the Japanese were to lose, they would have to die together.

"But we're going to die!" Long Lingchuan said anxiously.

The middle-aged man surnamed Duan had a gloomy face, and there was a cunning light in his eyes: "If we can't beat us, we'll run, anyway, as long as we go to Gujiao, we will complete the task." When the time comes, when we return to Taiyuan, the Japanese reinforcements have also arrived, and we still have to be needed. As long as this task is completed, the Japanese will not blame us! ”

"What Lao Duan said makes sense!"

"Yes, if you can't beat it, run away, anyway, we're used to running!"

Long Lingchuan finally showed a smile on his face, and nodded vigorously: "Then don't hesitate, the soldiers are ancient!" ”
